Had I walked by 1859 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco when Peoples Temple was in full swing, I certainly would have been drawn to the doorway.
I grew up in a conservative Christian family with an adopted black brother; race and religion were the dominant themes of my childhood. In our small Indiana town, David and I often felt self-conscious walking down the street together. Strangers scowled at us, and sometimes called us names. I wrote about the challenges of our relationship in my memoir, Jesus Land.
Suffice it to say, David and I would have been thrilled and amazed by Peoples Temple, a church where blacks and whites worshipped side by side, the preacher taught social justice instead of damnation, and the gospel choir transported the congregation to a loftier realm. We longed for such a place.
Unfortunately, the laudable aspects of Peoples Temple have been forgotten in the horrifying wake of Jonestown.
I stumbled onto writing this book by accident. I was writing a satirical novel about a charismatic preacher who takes over a fictional Indiana town, when I remembered Jim Jones was from Indiana, and Googled him. I learned that the FBI had released fifty thousand pages of documents, including diaries, meeting notes, and crop reports, as well as one thousand audiotapes that agents found in Jonestown after the massacre, and that no one had used this material to write a comprehensive history of the doomed community. Once I started digging through the files, I couldn't tear myself away.
It was easy to set my novel aside. I believe that true stories are more powerful, in a meaningful, existential way, than made-up ones. Learning about other people's lives somehow puts one's own life in sharper relief.
Aside from race and religion, there were other elements of the Peoples Temple story that resonated with me. When David and I were teenagers, our parents sent us to a Christian reform school in the Dominican Republic that had some uncanny parallels with Jonestown. I could empathize with the residents' sense of isolation and desperation.
You won't find the word cult in this book, unless I'm directly citing a source that uses the word. My aim here is to help readers understand the reasons that people were drawn to Jim Jones and his church, and how so many of them ended up dying in a mass-murder suicide on November 18, 1978. The word cult only discourages intellectual curiosity and empathy. As one survivor told me, nobody joins a cult.
To date, the Jonestown canon has veered between sensational media accounts and narrow academic studies. In this book, I endeavor to tell the Jonestown story on a grander, more human, scale.
Julia Scheeres
Berkeley, California, March 24, 2011

The journey up the coastline was choppy, the shrimp trawler too far out to get a good look at the muddy shore. While other passengers rested fitfully in sleeping bags spread out on the deck or in the berths below, fifteen-year-old Tommy Bogue gripped the slick railing, bracing himself against the waves. He'd already puked twice, but was determined not to miss a beat of this adventure. The constellations soared overhead, clearer than he'd ever seen them. He wiped salt spray from his eyes with an impatient hand and squinted at the horizon. He was still boy enough to imagine a pirate galleon looming toward them, the Jolly Roger flapping in the Caribbean breeze.
This was his first sea journey. His first trip outside the United States. He squinted at South America as it blurred by, vague and mysterious, imagining the creatures that roamed there. A few years earlier, he'd devoured DC Comics' Bomba, The Jungle Boy series, and now imagined himself the hero of his own drama.
The very name of his destination was exotic: Guyana. None of his school friends had ever heard of it, nor had he before his church established an agricultural mission there. After his pastor made the announcement, Tommy read and reread the Guyana entry in the Encyclopaedia Britannica until he could spout Guyanese trivia to anyone who showed the slightest interest in what the lanky, bushy-haired teen had to say. Aboard the Cudjoe, he ticked off this book knowledge to himself. Jaguars. Howler monkeys. One of the world's largest snakes, the green anaconda, growing up to twenty feet long and reaching 350 pounds. The country was home to several of the world's largest beasts: the giant anteater, the giant sea otter, the giant armadillo, the fifteen-foot black caiman. He knew a few things about the strangeness surrounding him, and those few things comforted him.
The plane ride from San Francisco to Georgetown had been another first for Tommy. He sat next to another teenager from his church, Vincent Lopez, and the two boys took turns gaping out the small convex window as they soared over the Sierra Nevada, the Great Plains, the farm belt—the entire breadth of America. The cement mass of New York City astounded him; skyscrapers bristled toward every horizon. At JFK International Airport, Pastor Jones, who was going down to visit the mission himself, kept a tight hand on the boys as he herded them toward their connecting flight.
Everything about Tommy Bogue was average—his height, his build, his grades—except for his penchant for trouble. His parents couldn't control him. Neither could the church elders. He hated the long meetings the congregation was required to attend, and was always sneaking off to smoke weed or wander the tough streets of the Fillmore District. Ditching church became a game, one he was severely punished for, but which proved irresistible.
They'd only told him two days ago that he was being sent to the mission field. His head was still spinning with the quickness of it all. The counselors told him he should feel honored to be chosen, but he was wise to them. He overheard people talking about manual labor, separation from negative peers, isolation, culture shock: All these things were supposed to be good for him. He knew he was being sent away, but at least he'd get out of the never-ending meetings, and more important, he'd see his father, for the first time in two years.
His dad left for Guyana in 1974, one of the pioneers. He'd called home a few times over the mission's ham radio, and in brief, static-filled reports, he sounded proud of what the settlers had accomplished: clearing the bush by hand, planting crops, building cottages. Tommy was eager to see it himself.
Finally, as the sun blazed hot and high overhead, the Cudjoe shifted into low gear and swung toward land. The other church members crowded Tommy as the boat nosed up a muddy river, the wake lifting the skirts of the mangroves as it passed. In the high canopy, color flashed: parrots, orchids, bromeliads.
The travelers slipped back in time, passing thatched huts stilted on the river banks and Amerindians, who eyed them warily from dug-out canoes. This was their territory. Late in the afternoon, the passengers arrived at a village named Port Kaituma and excitement rippled through them. The deck hands tied the Cudjoe to a pole in the water and Tommy helped unload cargo up the steep embankment. Pastor Jones, who'd spent most of the trip secluded in the deck house, welcomed them to the village as if he owned it. There wasn't much to it beyond a few stalls selling produce and secondhand clothes. As he spoke, Tommy listened attentively along with the others; Guyana was a fresh start for him, and he planned to stay out of trouble. Jones told the small group that the locals were grateful for the church's assistance—the mission's farm would put food on their tables.
After a short delay, a tractor pulling a flatbed trailer motored up and the newcomers climbed aboard with their gear. The tractor slipped and lurched down the pitted road to the mission, and the passengers grabbed the high sides and joked as if they were on a hayride. All were in good spirits.
At some point, Tommy noticed the squalor: the collapsing shanties, the naked brown kids with weird sores and swollen bellies, the dead dogs rotting where they fell. The trenches of scummy water. The stench. The mosquitoes whining in his ears. The landscape didn't jibe with the slide shows Pastor Jones had shown at church, which made Guyana look like a lush resort.
Tommy didn't point out these aberrations, but turned to listen to Pastor Jones, who raised his voice above the tractor's thrumming diesel engine. He was boasting, again, about how everything thrived at the mission. About the ice cream tree, whose fruit tasted like vanilla ice cream. About the protective aura surrounding the Church's property: There was no sickness there, no malaria or typhoid, no snakes or jungle cats ventured onto it. Not one mishap whatsoever. The adults nodded and smiled as they listened. Tommy turned toward the jungle again. The bush was so dense he couldn't see but a yard in before it fell away into darkness.
The tractor veered down a narrow road and passed through a tight stand of trees. The canopy rose two hundred feet above them. The light dimmed as they drove through this tree tunnel, as if they'd entered a candle-lit hallway and someone was blowing out the candles one by one. The air was so still it bordered on stagnant. Tommy glanced behind them at the receding brightness, then ahead, to where his father waited.
They drove into a large clearing. Here were a few rustic buildings, and beyond them, rows and rows of plants. A dozen or so settlers stood along the entry road, and the two groups shouted joyfully to each other. Tommy didn't immediately see his dad. He was disappointed, but unsurprised; his old man was probably nose to the grindstone, as always. He lifted his duffle bag onto his shoulder and jumped onto the red earth, happy to have arrived, at long last, in Jonestown.

The Untold Story of Jonestown
A Thousand Lives
The Untold Story of Jonestown
A Thousand Lives is the story of Jonestown as it has never been told. New York Times bestselling author Julia Scheeres drew from tens of thousands of recently declassified FBI documents and audiotapes, as well as rare videos and interviews, to piece together an unprecedented and compelling history of the doomed camp, focusing on the people who lived there.
The people who built Jonestown wanted to forge a better life for themselves and their children. In South America, however, they found themselves trapped in Jonestown and cut off from the outside world as their leader goaded them toward committing "revolutionary suicide" and deprived them of food, sleep, and hope. Vividly written and impossible to forget, A Thousand Lives is a story of blind loyalty and daring escapes, of corrupted ideals and senseless, haunting loss.

Bray: Lawrence won't ref anymore Tests
ESPN Staff
July 25, 2012
Lawrence took charge of the World Cup quarter final © Getty Images
New Zealand official Bryce Lawrence's Test career is all but over, according to SANZAR head of referees Lyndon Bray.
Lawrence, who was the New Zealand Rugby Union's referee of a fourth time last year, was in charge of the controversial Rugby World Cup quarter final between South Africa and Australia. The Wallabies progressed to the semi finals but Lawrence was heavily criticised in South Africa for his performance.
While he has been in charge of Super Rugby matches this season, he has not travelled to South Africa allegedly after threats from fans. In March he was removed from the International Rugby Board elite panel of referees and Bray says he is unlikely of officiate Test matches again.
"From an IRB perspective he has not been selected in the test," Bray told Eyewitness News. "There's a decision that we as selectors in the IRB made back in March. His time is over at that level.
"At this stage he is clearly not on the team. His challenge would be, if it's possible, to find his way back again. And I think given the reality and what he's gone through and the situation he's in at the moment that would be a huge ask."

Now much thinner
These sacks get thinner every time I buy them. I have some I purchased some time ago and the difference in quality is quite astonishing. The present ones split very easily. Please restore them to their original quality.

strong and thick
Even though these cost more than the ocado ones I prefer them as you can get more into them and they are easier to pull out of bins.

Spain Holds First National Siesta Championship 11
from the best-sleeper dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I was trying to get a first post, but I was taking a siesta. Maybe everyone else is too.
This, right here, is why Idle is killing slashdot.
There is no IT angle.
There is no nerd angle.
There is no science angle.
Nuts, this is an article on taking a nap. That's it.
Is there any analysis of the health benifits of naps? Mental performance changes? Longevity changes? Nah, just some bored people trying to win a napping contest.
The only reason it's here is because someone thought it was funny. Slashdot is the wrong blog for "hey, I thought this was funny".
Proof: At the moment there are 4 comments. 1 is
Naps are f*cking awesome.
Naps are awesome because they're that time when you get to be asleep, as compared to the rest of the time when you are running around fixing things for other people who aren't as tech-savvy.
I wish we all could have naps every day. Especially on those days when we're up 'till 3 in the morning fixing some server in a room that sounds like a jet engine is taking off about 3U away from your head.
Sure, maybe it's a contest, but it's about naps. Remember: Sleep is holy!
Actually there is a science angle. There's been a number of studies that show that people perform better after a nap.
Also, it means you don't have to keep the aircon running through the hottest part of the day.
Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

Defense Major Industry Trends Defense Spending and the Global Economic Downturn Defense spending is clearly the key determinant of the health of the defense industry. It is sensitive to the economic cycle, with democratically elected governments preferring to focus their resources on politically sensitive areas such as healthcare and welfare spending, or on measures to boost employment when their revenues come under pressure during an economic slowdown. Plainly, however, when a country is at war it has little option but to maintain defense spending, regardless of the economic circumstances, and no country is willing to sacrifice its long-term security for the sake of short-term savings. Certainly, the US will have little option but to maintain defense spending at high levels in the next few years, given its involvement in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the "war on terror." Furthermore, many countries will have difficulty cutting their defense spending by significant amounts in the short term. Defense programs can last for decades, and, if a project is already underway, it may be difficult for a government to cancel its order. Defense spending can also be politically sensitive. Cutting back on equipment orders may simply add to unemployment during a recession. The US is by far the largest market for defense equipment. Many defense analysts argue that President Obama will have no option but to reduce the current record levels of defense spending in order to fund his big economic stimulus plans. This will clearly have a big impact on the overall defense market, for North America accounted for around 39% of global military spending in 2007, according to the research company, Frost & Sullivan. President Obama has proposed a 4% increase in defense spending, to US$534 billion, during the fiscal year beginning in October 2009. However, with a US$787 billion stimulus package, and billions more required to support banks, and possibly other companies, many defense analysts believe that the Pentagon's budget, one of the largest shares of government spending, is likely to be cut. Given that President Obama has pledged to match the previous administration's costings for Iraq and Afghanistan until late 2010, the focus of any search for cost savings is likely to be big programs such as the US Army's plans to modernize its forces, led by Boeing, and programs such as the F-22 Raptor. Defense spending on government contracts doubled to US$500bn under the Bush administration, and Obama is reportedly looking to reform the process of awarding tenders, in a bid to save US$40bn a year. Perhaps unsurprisingly in this environment, Lockheed launched an advertising campaign in early 2009 to promote the F-22 Raptor, perhaps in a pre-emptive strike to prevent the fighter-aircraft program from being axed. In Europe, which does not face any obvious military threats, and is not entangled in overseas conflicts on the scale of the US, the economic crisis is already having an impact on defense spending. In March 2009, the German newspaper, Handelsblatt, reported that Germany, the UK, Italy, and Spain want to forge a deal to reduce a third-batch delivery of Eurofighter combat aircraft to save money (the German government later denied the claims). The Eurofighter program is slated to cost the German defense budget alone around US $36 billion, according to Handelsblatt. The Eurofighter consortium includes Britain's BAE Systems, Airbus's parent, EADS, and Alenia, a unit of Italy's Finmeccanica. The aircraft engines are made by Rolls-Royce, MTU Aero Engines, and ITP. Also in 2009, Eastern European governments began slashing defense budgets in the wake of the economic crisis that hit the region early in the year. In March 2009, Lithuania announced a 20% cut in its defense budget, while Poland cut military spending by around US$500 million. The recession is also having an impact on the UK, which buys more defense equipment than any other country, bar the US and China. In March 2009, a report by the UK National Defence Association warned that a shortfall in the UK's defense budget had reached such a critical point that the government would have to scrap key orders for equipment if it did not increase defense spending. The report said that the projects at risk included orders for two new aircraft carriers (HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales), which will cost US$3.5 billion each; a replacement for the Harrier jump jet, the F-35, which will cost US$25 billion; and the replacement for the submarine-borne Trident nuclear missile, which will cost US$60–100 billion over 30 years. The global financial crisis has played havoc with the UK government's finances, and it is doubtful whether London is in a position to increase defense spending—in November 2008, the government Defense 1 of 4 www.qfinance.com predicted that the budget deficit would reach 8% of GDP in 2008, but by March 2009, even this forecast appeared overly optimistic. Global Financial Crisis Directly Affects Defense Companies The global financial crisis that began in September 2008 is also hitting military suppliers. In February 2009, Lockheed Martin slashed its earnings forecast for 2009, while Northrop Grumman warned it would report a loss for 2008. In Lockheed's case, the company said it would have to make up shortfalls in its pension fund, which has been hit by the financial crisis. Northrop said the fall in the stock market had prompted it to take a US$3.0–3.4bn charge in the fourth quarter, in order to write down the book value of businesses it took over in 2001 and 2002. Market Analysis Arms Race Developing in the Asia-Pacific Region While defense spending is coming under pressure in many countries in the West, it is likely to accelerate significantly in Asia. Indeed, in March 2009, the Singapore Straits Times reported that Asia is expected to outstrip the rest of the world in defense spending within seven years as China and India upgrade their armed forces. The newspaper quoted the findings of Frost & Sullivan. The research consultancy had predicted that Asia's overall defense budget would account for 32% of global military spending by 2016, or US$480 billion, up from 24% in 2007, while North America's share of spending would fall from 39% to 29%. China is certainly one country that will not be cutting back on its defense spending during the global recession. China clearly now intends to develop a military capability to match its new-found economic status. China's insatiable appetite for raw materials and energy has also widened the military's mission to protect China's strategic economic interests overseas. The country's naval and air forces certainly appear determined to impose their dominance in the South China Sea—through which vital oil supplies pass, and where several islands are in dispute—and in the East China Sea, where China and Japan are in dispute over mineral rights, and a number of contested islands. In March 2009, Beijing announced plans to increase defense spending by 14.9% to CN¥480.7 billion (US $70.3 billion) in 2009. The increase is slightly smaller than the rises that have taken place in previous years, suggesting that Beijing is focusing its spending on boosting the wider economy. However, following increases of 17.8% in 2007 and 17.6% in 2008, China's defense budget will have increased by more than 50% between 2006 and 2009. Furthermore, the US estimates that China's defense spending is much higher than the official figures suggest because many costs, including major arms purchases, are not included in these statistics. China has denied claims that it "hides" defense spending, and argues that its military spending is not excessive. It says that defense expenditure would amount to 6.3% of its total budget in 2009, and 1.4% of GDP, compared with 4% in the US and 2% in the UK and France. The government says that most of the increased expenditure in 2009 will be focused on improving the historically poor living conditions of soldiers in the People's Liberation Army. In addition, the authorities intend to increase spending on "informatization," in an attempt to close the gap on the US's use of "smart" technology. Defense companies in the West could benefit from China's attempts to upgrade its military technology, although it is extremely doubtful whether Washington would allow American companies to supply technology to China. Some analysts contend that if China's economic growth remains robust, and the country is thus able to continue to expand its defense spending significantly each year, it will pose a threat to the US's military dominance of the globe by the mid-21st century, or earlier. In early 2009, Beijing confirmed plans to build aircraft carriers, with the apparent intent of projecting "blue water" naval power eastwards into the Pacific, bringing it into potential conflict with the US. For its part, Beijing fears that the US is trying to "encircle" China, by using India, and allies such as Japan and Australia, as proxies to contain China's increasing military strength. China's concerns have some validity—military ties between Washington and New Delhi, for example, are growing in a number of areas. India is also growing into a major purchaser of US military equipment, an about-turn for a country that relied on Soviet weapons during the Cold War. In a groundbreaking deal, India agreed to buy six Lockheed C130J Defense 2 of 4 www.qfinance.com transport planes for around US$1bn in January 2008—New Delhi had previously procured transport aircraft from the USSR or Russia. The US is also a contender in the race to win an US$11bn deal for multi-role combat aircraft. Lockheed Martin's F-16 and Boeing's F/A-18 are up against the MiG-35 fighter from Russia, the French Rafale (Dassault Aviation), the Swedish JAS-39 Gripen (SAAB), and the European Eurofighter Typhoon (EADS). In February 2009, India said that the global financial crisis would not affect the modernization of the Indian armed forces or other defense programs. Pradeep Kumar, secretary of state for defense production, was quoted as saying that, "there is no constraint of fund availability for the modernization of the armed forces, and these will go ahead as planned and as per the requirements of the forces." Meanwhile, in March 2009, military spokesmen said that they had plans to hand out contracts worth US$30 billion in the next three to four years. Other Major Trends The Environment It might appear surprising but the US military is arguably doing more to save the planet than any other organization on earth. For the US Defense Department is investing huge sums in the search to develop renewable sources of energy, as well as improving energy efficiency. The key drivers behind this trend include: national security—the US does not want to be dependent upon energy imported from politically unstable regions; cost reasons—even a 5% cut in the fuel bill would save the Department of Defense US $635m (based on the 2007 figure); and, finally, because it makes sound military sense—many lives are lost transporting fuel to the front line in vulnerable convoys. The US military is already one of the largest consumers of renewable energy in the world, and it has set a goal that 25% of its energy should come from renewable sources by 2025. The US Air Force's goal is that 50% of all the fuels used in domestic training flights will come from synthetic, or non-petroleum, sources by 2016. The US military is also investing heavily in solar and wind power. Technological Advances The military is one of the key drivers of technological advances. There are certainly some remarkable developments taking place. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, being developed by Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and BAE Systems, for example, features some extraordinary features. These include technology that allows the pilot to look through the structure of the aircraft. The aircraft also features voice commands that significantly reduce the pilot's workload. The military is also investing heavily in information technology on land. Military units constantly transmit huge amounts of data back and forth to report their position, generate situational awareness, and share information on enemy tactics. Soldiers with access to laptops, for example, can provide vital information to military commanders. Real-time management of information enables rapid decision-making, meaning that military operations can proceed quickly, possibly providing a decisive advantage during a battle. Cyberspace: The New Battlefield Unsurprisingly, given the new emphasis on information technology, governments around the world are investing heavily in measures to protect their computer networks from attacks, and to launch their own cyber attacks. In 2007, the Financial Times reported (September 27, 2007) that, "the Chinese military is constantly trying to penetrate the defenses of US military networks, and the Pentagon is widely believed to attempt the same operations on its Chinese counterpart." The newspaper added: "Chinese military doctrine has emphasized the growing importance of cyberspace as a domain for war-fighting. While China still lags behind the US considerably in terms of capabilities on land, at sea, and in the air, in cyberspace it has the capability to impose great costs on the US." Many large defense companies have already branched out into cyber-security and information-technology services.

Some say Gonzales' new report should make Congress more receptive to needed reforms
In the past decade, agencies have been slow to use information technology to comply with the Freedom of Information Act, according to many reports. Open government advocates say a new report from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should set off a technological revolution in processing FOIA requests.
In his review of plans to improve FOIA operations, Gonzales found that many agencies want to use IT, including internal Web sites, to expedite their responses to requests for government information.
"Agencies have enthusiastically embraced the area of advanced technology and automation as a means of improving their FOIA operations, most particularly as a way of meeting the challenges faced by those with backlogs of complex FOIA requests," Gonzales wrote in his report.
A December 2005 executive order directed the attorney general to issue a report on his assessment of agencies' FOIA implementation goals and fiscal 2005 FOIA reports. Gonzales submitted his report to President Bush Oct. 16. In it, Gonzales said he wants agency officials to collaborate on cost-effective approaches to using IT to ensure FOIA compliance and reduce backlogs.
FOIA advocacy groups seized on the report as an opportunity to seek more support from lawmakers. Following its release, the National Security Archive, for example, sent letters to lawmakers to inform them that many agencies lack funding and other resources to achieve the IT goals outlined in Gonzales' report.
Archive officials added that many agencies don't yet comply with Electronic FOIA amendments passed in 1996. Those amendments require federal agencies to be able to receive and respond to FOIA requests electronically.
The National Security Archive, a research institute at George Washington University that collects and publishes declassified documents, wrote to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Government Reform Committee asking for hearings on whether agencies have made progress in using IT to facilitate responding to FOIA requests.
"It is unclear how the executive order will overcome a lack of agency commitment to FOIA when a statute enacted by Congress 10 years ago has been unable to achieve such a result," National Security Archive officials wrote to committee leaders. The letter states that the Department of Veterans Affairs has determined that receiving FOIA requests by e-mail "is not viable for the agency and that a uniform tracking system across the agency would be impracticable."
In response to the National Security Archive's letter, Rep. Todd Platts (R-Pa.) said an oversight hearing on FOIA is an excellent idea. But Platts said he would not introduce any IT-specific legislation because he thinks agencies need flexibility in designing the IT solutions that best meet their needs.
He added that the Bush administration's interest in FOIA, as evidenced in the president's executive order, and effective congressional oversight will help agencies secure the funding necessary to meet their FOIA responsibilities.
Meredith Fuchs, general counsel at the National Security Archive, said Congress should exercise a greater oversight role in solving FOIA problems.
"I agree that Congress shouldn't be prescribing certain technological solutions, but Congress can call agencies up and have them explain what they are using and why it maybe isn't good enough," Fuchs said.
"They really need a threat in order to make progress," she said.
Leahy said he has asked President Bush to accept and implement a proposal in the attorney general's report that federal agencies explore interagency approaches to using information technology to process FOIA requests.
Leahy co-sponsored the Senate version of the Open Government Act, which the Senate Judiciary Committee favorably reported in September. "I will continue to push for its enactment," he said.

Brokeback Mountain Boosts Wyoming Tourism
February 2, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Brokeback Mountain was filmed in Canada? (Ang Lee pulled a fast one on us with this Hollywood cost-cutting maneuver.) This fact doesn't seem to deter the hundreds of callers who have contacted the Wyoming tourism office, who want a little piece of that scenery. The phones are ringing off the hook and callers don't seem to give a hoot when they learn the truthful location for the set. The mountains and rugged wilderness of the "cowboy state" are just too tempting. Do you too want a piece of that scenery? The elegantly rustic cabins of the Jenny Lake Lodge, set beneath the glorious Teton range, are a good bet; satisfy your inner cowboy with trail rides, flyfishing and hiking around the Old Western style ranch. Of course you could always take it up a notch at Jackson Hole's Rusty Parrot, which is one of the country's great luxury stand-outs.
Free Third Night at the Hotel Majestic in Barcelona
January 30, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The best part of winter (besides hitting the slopes or lounges in Aspen, Jackson Hole or Zermatt, of course) are the special offers wheeled and dealed by luxury hotels in order to fight the vacancies of their shoulder seasons. Nothing like a free night at one of the best hotels in Europe to entice a winter-weary traveler for a luxurious long weekend. At the Hotel Majestic, guests are pampered in a destination hotel that is smack in the middle of all that's cool in Barcelona: Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, Gaudi's strange and marvelous architecture. The rule may even apply to the most glorious and fashionable penthouse in the city, with its whopping 3,230 sq ft of space. From now until the end of February, take advantage of the 3x2 Offer, where guests are awarded with a free night after paying for two. And the weather map in the International Herald Tribune this morning seems to suggest that guests could even marvel at the panoramic city-view from the rooftop pool and solarium right about now (Spain is blessed with some remarkably mild winter temps.)

Pink Dolphins? Hong Kong?
January 24, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
You've got to be kidding me. But as CNN reports, HK is no longer just about glitzy skyscrapers, designer shopping and gourmet eats. Throw ecotourism in the mix; the city is one of the best spots to see Indo Pacific humpback dolphins, which just happen to be totally, completely bubblegum-pink. Sign up with tour operator Hong Kong Dolphinwatch, who normally spots these uncanny creatures 97 percent of the time on tours in the South China Sea.

The Phoenician's Marvelous Makeover
27 holes of championship golf in the sultry desert heat at The Phoenician. Nine gorgeous pools overlooking Camelback mountain and the red rock desert landscape. A phenomenal spa. And the city's dazzling culinary display and rockin nightlife. Now couldn't be a better time to visit Scottsdale. If those aren't reasons enough: the legendary destination resort recently completed a $20 million makeover. Guestrooms and casitas are all newly furnished (bed linens, wall hangings, artwork all in earthy desert tones), with divine new beds, and loads of new technology and upgraded bathroom fixures (lighting, floor-to-ceiling Italian marble, oversized tubs.) Of course the lobby, lounges, restaurants and public areas weren't overlooked, and the Spa and Fitness Facility was injected with a healthy $250,000 of new stairmasters, ellipticals, Life Fitness strength training machines and 15" individual televisions in all cardio equipment. The best part of the makeover? The Oasis swimming pool complex with new poolside cabanas, all new surfacing and decking, teak outdoor furniture, and underwater sound.

And it's a spectacle you won't want to miss. After all, it's been around for 93 years (that's the oldest Winter Carnival west of the Mississippi!) and is sponsored by the oldest winter sports club in the US of A! And of course there's the much-anticipated nighttime event, featuring the legendary "Lighted Man" (one of the famous exhibitionists, clad in a glowing suit of lightbulbs, launches fireworks as he skis down the mountain). Intrigued? Get yourself to Steamboat Feb 8-12!
Going Between the Bridges in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi plays catch up with the incredible development going on in nearby Dubai, with the latest AED 800 million project, dubbed BTB (that's Between the Bridges, guys). Due to open in Feb 2007, the complex will be packed with luxury villas, executive apartments, and a five star hotel. That's music to our ears.
Bye, Bye Stardust Las Vegas
The aging resort and casino sits on some 63 acres of prime Strip-front property, and the Boyd Gaming Corp. sees four sparkling, new hotels (including a Shangri-La) where Stardust's decrepit 1,500 rooms used to be. The developers will welcome Echelon Place—the $4 billion complex with 5,300 rooms, spas, casino, restaurants and bars, meeting facilities and a 4,000-seat theater– in 2010. Besides the Shangri-La, the Morgans Hotel Group (of Mondrian and Delano fame) is keen on the scene.

Brabus turns the Mercedes S63 into sinister, 850-hp speed machine
With a 577-hp biturbo V8 powering a 0-60 mph time of just 3.9 seconds, the Mercedes S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe isn't exactly a slouch. Or at least it didn't seem that way before German tuner Brabus turned it into an out-and-out power-n-speed machine. The S63-based Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo Coupe bolts to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and doesn't stop accelerating until the needle hits 217 mph. Read More
Review: Turning heads with the Roadie automatic guitar tuner
Necessary evils though they are, changing strings and tuning up have got to be two of the most boring and/or tiresome guitar-related tasks around. Band Industries offered a helping hand in November 2013 when a crowdfunding campaign was launched to bring an app-controlled motorized tuner named Roadie to market. The campaign was successful and the handheld robotic tuner recently became available to buy. Gizmag nabbed one of the first commercial units off the production line and has been whizzing and whirring away with gusto ever since. Read More
Record, perform, tune and protect with Acoustic Stream
Mobile or gigging guitarists looking for a way to capture creative moments whenever and wherever they happen need only power up a smartphone and launch an audio recording app. Another app can use the phone's microphone to bring the instrument to tune. If they're wanting to remotely monitor the humidity and temperature of a much-loved guitar, however, the app store will likely come up blank. The Acoustic Stream wirelessly pairs with an iOS smart device running a companion app to help players quickly capture a killer riff or live stream to a mobile device or amplifier. It boasts built-in precision tuning capabilities, and sends out an alert when environmental changes threaten to damage a treasured instrument. Read More
Roadie handheld robotic tuner (almost) ready to rock
All manner of integrated and external gadgetry has been introduced over the years to help newbies or seasoned guitarists achieve and maintain pitch perfection with little effort. Rather than requiring players to swap out stock tuning heads for some robotic assistance, like with the TronicalTune system, or buy into the digital manipulation of output from folks like Antares, the Roadie Tuner slips over each machine head, one at a time, and works with a smartphone to bring an instrument to tune.

Quanta demonstrates aftermarket hybrid kit with 770-hp Corvette Z06
Automakers typically use hybrid powertrains to improve fuel economies and kowtow to government relations. Not Quanta. Similar to cars like the McLaren P1 and Toyota Hybrid R concept, the hybrid technology in Quanta's Corvette QHP770 is all about performance. The show car is designed to test the waters for hybrid upgrade kits for Corvettes and other sports cars. Read More
Alpina calls its BMW D3 Bi-Turbo the world's fastest diesel
German BMW performance manufacturer Alpina has released the new D3 Bi-Turbo, a more potent spin on the BMW 3 Series Sedan. The car hits 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.6 seconds on its way to a 173 mph (278 km/h) top speed. Alpina reckons that's enough to make it the fastest diesel production car on the big blue ball we call home. Read More
Tapo combines tuner and capo
By far the quickest way to uniformly raise the pitch of all strings on a guitar is to plonk a capo on the neck. Even then, some songs call for a bit of tricky tuning to get things just right, which means diving into the gig bag only to find that you've left your faithful tuner at home. Editors Keys has combined capo and tuner for the Tapo, which can be clamped across the strings to check the tuning in the newly-chosen key, or positioned at the head for open reference tuning.

DMC Tuning to build Lamborghini Aventador J-inspired model
The question of the hottest, most beautiful new car of the year is never an easy one. So many beautiful sports cars, ultra-luxury sedans and design studies are born during any year, it's hard to come up with a definitive answer. Yet, ask the question about 2012, and all the red sports coupes, unconventional concepts and bulging off-roaders would jostle for position for mere milliseconds before ceding to two instinctive selections: "McLaren P1" and "Lamborghini Aventador J." While the P1 novel still has many chapters to be written, the Aventador J was but a fleeting one-of-a-kind short story that came, enthralled and retired. But it looks like it will live on through tuners like Germany's DMC Tuning. Read More
German automotive tuner Brabus has been offering tuned cars for the wealthy and ultra-wealthy since 1977. Some of them are lightning fast, some of them are productive multitaskers and some of them are clean and efficient, but they're all a little more exclusive than the average factory BMW or Mercedes. In addition to cars, the tuner offers a yacht customization service, and it recently turned its attention to the skies, where it will transform private jets to the desired specifications of paying customers.

adenium arabicum tiny rediish bugs & web
I am new to growing adeniums. I woke up today and the plant was wound around top to bottom with a web. There are teenie red spiders (I think) all over it. I got them all off, but tonight I see they are coming back. Freeze warning here in Goodyear tonight so it must remain indoors. What are these bugs - spiders? And what should I do to get rid of them? Help. I really want to learn how to grow these plants!
Sounds like a spider mite infestation. Washing your plant well, especially the undersides of the foliage with isopropol alcohol diluted in water with a few drops of liquid soap added should get rid of them. I'd also mist your plant with water fairly often as spider mites thrive in dry conditions. Another washing with the diluted alcohol might be necessary a couple more times about a week apart. You can also use an insectide/miticide if you choose. Check any nearby plants as the spider mites spread from plant to plant.

Removing panes of glass
I'm slowly renovating my windows and finished three of them on the back of the house without breaking anything. So with some experience under my belt, I started on the front windows.
The glazing putty and points on the first front window had glass panes stuck in there like they were encased in cement. The glazing points are flat, tiny and deeply embedded. I broke three of the four panes in the process, two from the heat gun and one from stressing the glass during the removal. I'm sure this was the original glass and I feel ill about this.
Any suggestions, any special tools to suggest?
Here are tool suggestions from someone who restores windows for a living....
Any of jade's posts on that forum are well worth reading.
Here is a link that might be useful: window tools
A HEAT GUN?! Don't come near old glass with one of those!
As stated above, there is a drill attachment to use for removing putty, though I don't have one. My usual tool is a narrow putty knife, and I remove points with a screwdriver by rocking them a bit--I have yet to break any glass.
At work we have a steamer for softening glazing, but I have never used it.
It depends on if you are any good with a heat gun; it requires a delicate touch. I got all of the glass out of this door with a combination of heat gun, chisels, scrapers. The putty was the hardest stuff I have ever come across, very cement-like. Didn't break any panes or tiles, which is good because much of it is irreplaceable. Under the best circumstances, count on breaking 10% or more, either on the way out or when re-installing it. There can be unseen flaws in the panes that will take advantage of the handling so become cracks, and those aren't preventable.
You must keep the heat turned down, you must keep the air pointed sideways at the putty, not the glass, and some people have success using a "dodge", a sheet of thin flameproof material, that is laid against the glass and takes the heat in its stead. It will not permit turning up the heat, but it's a bit more insurance if extremely unhandy. I don't use a dodge.
What a great door Casey! My aunt has a similar one, but not as ornate; hers has glass like on your two sides, but it goes around all four sides of the center pane...no other fancy stuff like your above portion. I think her house dates from the 1880-90s...but had been extensively redone inside, alas.
Yep, it's some door. I was told it was from an 1884 house. And that seems about right. The sharp primary colors of the glass are amazing; most colored windows from that period had mauves, light greens and other shades I don't really care for, so I lucked out. And it was the _exact_ size I needed for my kitchen door, 34"x83". I had only to plane a tiny amount off of one edge.
The pros are using steam to deglaze sash these days, apparently.
Graywings, as you restore your windows there is no better resource than John Leeke's Historic Homeworks window restoration forums, with his (free) online videos and hundreds of interesting discussions by experienced pros:

Could Donald Trump Change the Stakes in 2012?
No, not seriously. But The Donald is, at least, considering running for President of the United States on the GOP ticket in 2012.
News broke Monday of a New Hampshire poll asking residents about a possible presidential run by Donald Trump. And although Trump denies having anything to do with the poll, he admitted Tuesday morning that
he's intrigued.
"I've had so many people over the years ask me to do that," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "And for the first time in my life I am absolutely thinking about it. I don't know that I'll do it. It's probable that I won't do it, but I can tell you, I'm thinking about it. Somebody has to do something. We are losing this country.
His qualifications are similar to Christine O'Donnell's in that he suspicious of natural hair color and the Chinese, with whom he has frequent dealings according to, well, him. Otherwise, we know he has an excellent tailor, has enough success in real estate to have his own line of men's accessories, golf paraphernalia and Serta mattresses, has little respect for private property, made Bill Rancic famous and is married to a supermodel who is at least third in a string of similar supermodels. Also, a friend of mine who waited on him once in Florida says he's really nice and has a limited understanding of sunscreen.
All of these qualify him not just to run for office, but to be John Boehner (except for the supermodel part. John Boehner doesn't actually breathe, move or interact with anyone in real life). The problem of course, is that this all probably a joke to drum up publicity for the current incarnation of The Apprentice whose marketing has a distinctly political edge to it, making reference to the unemployment rate, the recession and Trump's ability to "create jobs." I mean, if you believe his name just randomly snuck into the New Hampshire poll I've got an unfinished building in New Orleans to sell you. If you were just picking celebrities at random, Martha Stewart, in the grand scheme of Apprentice hosts, is clearly more qualified to hold office, especially here in Illinois.
In all seriousness, Trump's expertise in business and suggestion of a third-party run, exposes a real vulnerability in the Republican field in 2012. Like 1996, we're stuck with a bevy of characters who are "owed" a seat at the table – everyone from Guy Smiley's real life equivalent Mitt Romney to Sarah Palin to Mike Huckabee – all of which are lacking a single key element to make them a viable contender against Obama, whether that's a public persona that isn't molded out of plastic, a thorough understanding of our economic conditions and the ability to articulate a comprehensive recovery plan while maintaining credibility, or appeal to anyone who doesn't dine on squirrel regularly. A third party candidate with charisma, business experience and a loose grip on reality could really do some damage to the GOP nominee. As Ed Morrissey points out, it's the Coons/Castle/O'Donnell scenario all over again, without the Bewitched theme music.
It is kind of fun thinking about Trump's inauguration speech, though.

The troubled Wyatt Detention Center in Central Falls has entered receivership. The facility has been losing money for a while and contributed to the city's financial woes.
The Central Falls Library is looking to expand its programming for students. The library got a big boost from actor Alec Baldwin at a fundraiser over the weekend.
Alec Baldwin cracked jokes before a packed crowd at the Fete Ballroom in Providence before reading a James Thurber short story.
"We're going do a little short stories, and some poetry and some Shakespeare. You can keep getting drunk too, like you normally do here," said Baldwin.
Actor Alec Baldwin will be in Rhode Island this weekend to help raise money for the Central Falls library. The event, called "Baldwin for Books" features the actor along with Central Falls students and teachers reading passages from literature. There will also be a raffle to read Shakespeare with Baldwin. The library's executive director Joel Pettit says he doesn't know why the actor is helping the library, but has an idea.
Central Falls mayor James Diossa has called a meeting for Monday to see if the city can keep the Osram Sylvania plant open. The lighting manufacturer plans to shutter the plant in September.
Lighting manufacturer Osram Sylvania has announced it will close its plant in Central Falls. The company said the closing is due to changes in the light bulb industry.
Osram Sylvania said it needs to close the Central Falls plant so it can focus on its move from traditional lighting to solid-state lighting, such as LED light bulbs.
There were fewer children in Rhode Island last year with elevated lead levels in their blood. Improvements to housing played a big role in the decline.
Most of the drop in lead levels took place in Providence, Woonsocket, Warwick and Tiverton. In Providence, the city has made sure children couldn't live in rental homes unless they were certified as lead-free. Also, the city's water authority monitored lead levels in drinking water.
Award-winning actor Viola Davis made a stop at Bryant University on Friday during the annual Women's Summit.
The theme of this year's conference: "being the CEO of your own life."
Davis says part of what has made her successful as an actor is her experience growing up in Central Falls.
"Every experience growing up in a dysfunctional family with alcoholism, with poverty, with being the geek always into theater and the Rhode Island State Drama Festival, that has been the wellspring of me as an actor," Davis said.
Charles Moreau, the former mayor of Central Falls is a free man.
Moreau served thirteen months of a two-year prison sentence for pleading guilty to corruption charges.
However, in separate case, a federal appeals court found the same charges did not constitute criminal activity.
Moreau's conviction was vacated on the grounds that he would plead guilty to a new charge of bribery.
U.S. Attorney General Peter Neronha says that while he's unhappy the Moreau walked free, at least Moreau was convicted of a new charge.
Former Central Falls mayor Charles Moreau could find himself a free man as early as Friday, despite his conviction for corruption. A ruling in another case has through his conviction into question because he guilty to taking a gratuity.
Former Central Falls Mayor Charles Moreau could be freed as early as Friday from federal prison, according to a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha.
Moreau was convicted of bribery and has served 13 months of his 2-year sentence in a Maryland federal prison. Since his conviction, a federal appeals court has ruled in an unrelated case involving a businessman and a legislator in Puerto Rico. That ruling said federal law does not ``criminalize gratuities'' and dismissed the charges against both men.

Cypress Vine - asking for trouble?
I got a cutting of this from a plant festival. Such a pretty vine but I've read that it can be invasive and weed-like in the south. I would think that I would see it around here (Charlotte) if that were the case. Does anyone have experience positive or negative with this reseeding vine? I'd like to grow it but I'm afraid I'll regret it.
It will definitly reseed anywhere there is good soil. It is such a delicate leaf though, that it doesn't shade out anything else. I have a friend in Shelby who has it coming up from every pot and bed, but it doesn't bother her, so she lets the situation get worse year to year. I assume if you stayed on top of pulling the seedlings before they bloomes and set seed in unwanted areas, you could manage the proliferation.
The other option is to plant it to grow up something in the middle of the lawn, so the seedlings will just be mown down. I've seen that a lot too.
Good luck,
yup- I have it and weed out all but a few each year. I just allow a few to grow each year since i like the color & form. The seedlings are very easy to recognize- nothing else looks remotely like them. They do continue to germinate all summer long- so it isn't a one time grubbing out, but they are easy to pull. It is a good idea to plant it somewhere you can just mow down the strays if that's possible- like around a lamppost, mailbox or something along those lines. Cuts your work down by a lot.
