The Adventure of Indonesia

Where I stayed
On a long tail house boat
We started out wanting to make this SE Asia an adventure but we never expected the adventure in Indonesia to start out with Mount Merapi's eruption. For a few days, our whole itinerary in Indonesia was in chaos. The first city we were suppose to visit was Yogyakarta in Java which is only 40 km from the volcano. For a few days, many international airlines cancelled their flights due to safety concerns . We had no idea whether we would even be able to get to Indonesia or not. After a few tense days watching the news and talking to my contacts in Jakarta, we decided to skip Yogyakarta but tried to keep the rest of the Indonesia itinerary intact. My two friends from Beijing, Shiqiu and Xiaoqiu flew to Jakarta early 11/10 morning and waited in the airport for us. Since they don't speak English, they had some anxious moments until we finally arrived. Jakarta has the reputation of being a crowded, congested and polluted city that is hard to get around so my friend Chad from Singapore suggested that we spent our extra days in Bandung – a "resort" town about 2 hours drive SE of Jakarta. We were met at the airport by our guide Hillman and a driver. The highway was initially quite crowded but once we got away from Jakarta, the traffic moved faster and the air got cleaner. Shiqiu made the observation that the 6 persons in the van spoke 3 different languages. Two speak only Chinese, the driver speaks only Indonesia, Ray speaks only English. Our guide Hilman and I are bilingual in different languages. The communication among 6 of us got pretty chaotic at times. We stayed at The Preanger International – a 4star hotel in Bandung. This hotel is famed for an "Art Deco" motif but there were only a few art displays in the lobby. The room is ok but the internet (at 100,000 rupiahs for 24 hours) is extremely slow and frustrating to use.
Bandung is the 3rd largest city in Indonesia and supposedly the escape for people who live in Jakarta. Unfortunately the city looks a little run down and really need s a face lift. We visited a volcanic crater and a hot springs park nearby. Both were quite commercialized and unimpressive but we met one Taiwanese who is selling organic salted duck eggs there. We tried several new fruits we never tasted before. The snake fruit with the skin just like a snake is our favoriate. At the hot spring park, I had a "free" foot message from a local young man. He used sulfur stone to make my skin whiter. Although the foot message is free, I did have to buy a rather expensive ice cream from him. What a smart business strategy and marketing plot he came up with. We went to a school that is dedicated to train children the traditional Indonesia bamboo musics and dances. The children are lovely and very enthusastic about their performance. The bamboo instrument has different keys and we participated in performing songs with the children. That was the highlights of our stay in Bandung.
We returned to Jakarta airport and continue to the next segment of our trip which is the Orangutan tour. We first flew to the town of Banjarmasin. We stayed at one of the Lonely Planet recommended budget hotel ' Peranda'. At 150,000 rupiahs (about $18) a night, it is one of the cheapest hotel I have ever stayed at, It is clean but we lost electricity several times during the night and there were several small critters roaming around the place. Shiqui, however, was happy because there are 4 Chinese TV channels she can watch. I guess next time I will have 2nd thoughts about staying at one of Lonely Planet recommended "budget" hotels. Banjarmasin is one of the bigger town of Kalimantan (the Indonesia side of Borneo island). We met both Chinese and European business people at the airport and they are all here for one reason - coal. It turns out that Kalimantan has one of the richest coal deposit in the world and it is at the surface which makes mining it easy and economical. With all the business coming to Banjarmasin, it still is a small town with little to show tourists other than a boat ride to a floating market and a tour of the city's canels. We tried some local fare – Soto Ayam (chicken soup over rice) which is a little bland. We took a smaller plane to Pangkalangbun – the entry point to the Tanjung Puting National Park. All visitors are required to register with the park before boarding a long-tail boat for the trip down the river to the park. We were very surprised to see a fairly large sized boat with a captain, an assistant and a cook waiting alongside our English speaking guide Edwin. What a luxury that is sitting on the upper deck of the boat with the cool breeze on our faces and the beautiful scenery ahead of us. The river bank was lined thickly with low palm trees. Edwin told us that the river used to be the color of dark tea but due to the runoff from the coal mining upstream, now the river is a muddy brown. We saw many speeding fast boats on the river. Most of them carrying the miners and their families back and forth from the mining camps. Shortly after we started our journey, we started to see wild monkeys on the trees. These are Proboscis monkey and their one distinguishing features is their long nose. The young ones have noses like Pinocchio and the old males look exactly like Jimmy Durante. When the whole monkey family (as many as 20 to 30) stayed on one tree, it was quite a sight to see all those big noses.
Edwin took us to visit one of the villages along the river where he lived for 3 years to help with the reforestation effort. The villagers used to live inside the National Park and the government built a new village for them when the park was established. Each family was given a house and a cow as compensation. The village used to have over 600 residents but now has only about 300 – mostly women, old folks and young children. Most of young adults left for jobs in bigger cities. The village does not have electricity and the only satellite is for emergency phone services only. They have one elementary school with about 50 students. Villagers tend to their rice field, fishing and feeding theirs cow. Women wash cloth in the stream and children playing hop scotch on dirt floor. The villagers may not have all the convenience of the city life, but neither do they have pollution, traffic jams or stress. It is hard to say whether the villages or the city dweller have the better life Our dinner was prepared by the cook with all fresh ingredients. I saw him grinding spices on a stone mortar and peeled potato for French fries. Our cook's father is Chinese and the dishes he prepares actually are more Chinese than Indonesians which please both Shiqiu and Xiaoqiu. They enjoy all the meals on the boat. At night we anchored along the river bank and a huge mosquito net was stretched over the whole length of the upper deck of the boat. We were tucked in safely under the net away from the swarming mosquitoes. With the swinging of the boat and the occasional bird or monkey calls, we slept peacefully on the boat.
I was awaken early morning by the jungle calls of two huge bird with black bodies and white faces. There are also some brilliantly blue and gold colored kingfishers chattering around. Before we reach the first feeding station, we start seeing wild orangutans hanging from the trees. These locally known "red forest people" were driven to near extinction due to the lost of habitation and poaching. 30 some years ago a Canadian researcher Dr. Birut� Mary Galdikas came to study these giant apes and established the International Orangutan Foundation in 1986. With her dedication and lots of international pressure, the Indonesian government set aside a large area for the preservation of Orangutan. The feeding stations around the research camps are mostly for the animals previously rescued from injury or captivity. The keepers know them all by name but nevertheless warning us that they are still wild animals and can be dangerous. The male orangutan Durak we met at the first feeding station weights about 125 kg and is 7 times as strong as a man. When he finally came down to the station to dine on bananas, cassavas and "sweetened" milk, all the other orangutan stayed respectively at a distance. Once Durak had his fill and left, a young male came down cautiously from the trees and snatched up most of the remaining food as quickly as possible. He grabbed bunches of bananas, several cassavas in both hands, both feet and still able to stuff more in his mouth while leisurely climbing up into the trees. He showed the dexterity and cleverness of an orangutan who is well suited for life in the jungle. After lunch, we stopped at the big Camp Leakey where most of the orangutans who came to feed were females with babies. We did meet the King 'Tom' who blocked our way toward the feeding station and Edwin had to bribe him with some bananas to let us pass. Tom is famous for being unpredictable and destructive so we all passed by him carefully. Then we met Princess and her baby. When Princess was a baby herself in 1978, a National Geographic photographer took a picture of her in the bath tub with Dr. Galdikas' baby daughter and this picture made it to the cover of the magazine. Princess loves the human touch and came over to hold Edwin's hand. She grabbed my arm and started walking down the path with us. She was heavy and hung on to me like a child so Edwin and I basically carried her to the station. What a thrill that encounter was for me. There were quite a few orangutans swinging around the trees and they have no fear of the tourists standing around the feeding area. We all had to be careful and tried to keep a safe distance from them. It was hard to watch both the front and back because we are really in the midst of the orangutan family activities. I was busy taking pictures when someone yelled "watch out for the one behind you". I saw a red furry arm reached from behind me and I quickly stepped forward. Next thing I knew is that that clever orangutan took my water bottle, unscrewed the cap and drank all the water. At least he didn't try to grab my camera bag. I have never been so close to wild apes before and luckily they are mostly gentle and not as mean as the baboons I met in South Africa. I do hope more people will understand how precious these orangutans are and support Dr. Galdikas' effort in protecting them. When we board the boat, I saw a mother orangutan sitting on a tree picking termites off a dead tree branch. On her back was this cutest orangutan baby I have ever seen. He tried to mimic his mother by picking up a small stick and hitting tree branch with it. Edwin recognized the mother as Rita and her baby will be named with a name starting with R. I told Edwin if they name the baby Ray, we will be willing to donate money to help to pay for his upkeep. Edwin said that there is already an orangutan name Raymond, I guess maybe we should name the baby Ryan after our son then. We stayed at the camp as late as we could but we had to leave and return downstream because of the unexpected flight schedule change from Pangkalan Bun to Banjarmasin,. Instead of leaving at 1:30 pm, we had to leave at 8 am the next morning. We anchored for the 2nd night by another palm tree grove and this time we found that we were starring up at the blinking lights of thousands of fire flies. This is prettier than any Christmas tree lights I have ever seen.
The Orangutan tour is excellent, the services and guide are great, I only wish is that we could stay on the river longer. The original itinerary of 3D/2N was adequate if it wasn't cut short by the unpredictability of flight changes in Indonesia. Since I first booked the flights online, the flights had changed several times, mostly without advanced warning. Our guide told us that we are lucky because sometimes the airline just cancel the flights all together without advanced warning. They had the experiences of returning tourists by land which takes about 14 hour. So I learned a few tips for any travelers who are interested in coming to this area
1. Be sure that you leave a local contact phone number( e.g. your tour guide or travel agent) with the airline so the airline can text message you the changes of the flights (which happens all the time)
2. Watch out for travel days that are Muslims holidays because Garuda (Indonesia National Airline) canceled our flights to Bali in the morning because of just such a holiday. We ended up staying at the Banjarmasin airport for 7 hours waiting to be rebooked on next flights to Jakarta then to
3. In smaller cities like Banjarmasin, most people do not speak English and the communication with local people could be difficulty. It is useful to learn a least some basic Indonesian words like basic greetings, the name of different foods and the currency units
4. Electricity is unpredictable and a flash light is very useful. Most of the plug are two round holes. Adapter for your cell phone, ipods and computer is necessary.
5. Indonesia rupiahs started out in the 1000s. With so many zeros in their bills, it is easy to get confused about the numbers. 100,000 rupiahs basically is worth only about $12. It didn't help that the 100,000 bills are similar to the color of 10,000 bills. Although the exchange rate is about 8900 to $1, I usually just take out 4 zeros in the bill and estimate it to the closest US$.
I hope you enjoy this segment of our "million miles of SE Asia tour!

When your son can't look you in the eye . . . does that mean he's guilty?
Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger's syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a special focus on one subject—forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he's always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he's usually right.
But when Jacob's small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are directly in the spotlight. For Jacob's mother, Emma, it's a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, Theo, it's another indication why nothing is normal because of Jacob.
And over this small family, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder?

Jim Henson and Junior Gorg
The Life Image Search on Google has pictures of Jim Henson and Junior Gorg standing on the staircase of (I think) the old Henson townhouse. There's a bunch of pictures from the shoot there. Does anyone know when the photo was printed in Life? -- Danny (talk) 03:15, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, Danny, you uploaded a similar picture in color on both Jim Henson's and Junior Gorg's pages. Do you remember where you got that from? -- Ken (talk) 05:26, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- According to the Henson Company Twitter account:
- "The Jim and Junior photo was taken Jan. 6 '83 for the HBO Fraggle Rock press launch at the old NY ofc on 69th Street."
- Don't know if LIFE Magazine ever published a pic or not. But there you go. -- Brad D. (talk) 05:58, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, Brad! Ken -- I got the other one from the image search on Life.com. (They thought his name was "Grog".) I think the only place I've seen any of these printed is in the children's biography The Story of Jim Henson. It's credited there to AP/Wide World Photos. -- Danny (talk) 18:25, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Boost for Burnley as Elliott escapes punishment for Chimbonda clash
Burnley's Wade Elliott has avoided a Football Association ban following an alleged kick at Pascal Chimbonda during Sunday's Lancashire derby clash at Ewood Park.
Referee Chris Foy did not see the incident during Blackburn's 3-2 win and was asked by the FA to review video footage. But he could not be sure he would have issued a red card had he seen it at the time.
An FA spokesperson said: 'The referee said that based on the footage he has seen he cannot say for sure he would have shown a red card.
'Under the rules we are only permitted to take retrospective action if the referee says he would have shown a red card. On that basis we will not take any further action against Elliott.'

A few weeks ago I suspected a leaky head gasket on my 2003 Tacoma. I had replaced the coolant the week prior (first time since buying used truck, 200,000 miles, coolant looked like mostly water), and it sounded funny at startup (misfires, roughness) and seemed to lack power. A compression check confirmed a problem, with less than 50 lbs. on #3.
I pulled the head and, sure enough, the gasket was shot between the water jacket and #3 cylinder, and was ready to blow on #2. It looked like it had rusted out. The new coolant must have rinsed out the salts and expedited the leak.
I took the head to a local shop ( Monterey, CA) for cleaning and inspection. Although the head was not warped, there were cracks running from the spark plug holes to the exhaust seats. The casting would have to be replaced.
I could not find a replacement casting in the Bay area for less than $400, and it would still require valve job and machining that was estimated at $700 to $1000.
I searched on the internet and found a few for sale on Ebay. The best one looked like 'Odessa Heads" out of Clearwater, FL. They advertised a new aftermarket casting, fully machined, with new valves, assembled and adjusted with camshafts, ready to install, for $450, free shipping. No core charge up front, just return the old head within 30 days in the same box, prepaid shipping. It sounded too good to be true, but it was worth a shot.
They sent the wrong head at first (8 port, distributor) and apologized, sent the correct head 2-day express. Brand-new casting with used cam and lifters, but all the gaps checked OK. I had to deburr the whole thing, as almost every edge was razor sharp. But all accessories fit perfectly, all threads were well cut and straight, and it fit/assembled easily with no leaks.
I have over 1000 miles on it so far with no problems. Power is much improved and valve train is quiet ( used to have a lot of ticking).
If you have a need for a new head, I recommend "Odessa Heads".

It's not so difficult to understand some of the price increases and economic reports we see. But what about something more abstract? How do you determine, say, the cost of peace? News Editor Jonathan Scott takes a look at putting a price on peace by studying some recent numbers in the United States Peace Index that show how all 50 states rank in peace and prosperity.

Apparently when the cops arrived he yelled out "don't worry - I'm 'armless!" then realised he'd got the joke wrong
He did well to shoot straight considering he'd been drinking all day. When the cops turned up he was legless.
His case will never stand up in court. Legally, he hasn't got a leg to stand on.

Alex Jordahl - Its On
Artist: Alex Jordahl
Producer: DJ Corbett [for BlackLight Music]
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 12 votes )
With this week's Powerball hitting half a billi, everyone and their mother was scrambling around to think up the winning number combination. An entire nation was chasing the same thing; the feeling of finally having enough loot to just say "f**k it, I'm going golfing in the Bahamas today." Hip-Hop, for some, is really no different as artists pursue glory and the ability to provide for their families. Newcomer Alex Jordahl is one of these dream chasers, and today we have his first DJBooth feature with It's On. Produced by DJ Corbett, It's On features a piano medley and heavy percussion over which Alex breaks down how this life is everything he's worked for. For a kid from the Chicago 'burbs, he seems to be doing well for himself at 18, so keep watching and listening as he further pursues his dreams.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Sensex and the Nifty gained for a third consecutive session on Monday to two-year highs on rising optimism about corporate profits after Reliance Industries and ITC became the latest blue chips to post better-than-expected earnings.
Conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd Earnings will continue to set the tone in Indian markets, with Larsen & Toubro Ltd The solid results have come after Indian markets posted decent gains this month, buoyed by expectations of interest rate cuts from the RBI. The government's fiscal consolidation measures, including raising diesel prices last week, have also supported shares, sparking continued foreign investor buying. "Signs are encouraging so far for earnings season, but a lot of infrastructure and PSU stock are yet to announce," said Sonam Udasi, head of research at IDBI Capital. "RBI policy can kick start sentiment in a way but more importantly it will be how policy makers will be able to manage in budget and deficit targets," Udasi added. The Sensex rose 0.31 percent, or 62.78 points, to end at 20,101.82, its highest close since January 6, 2011. The Nifty rose 0.3 percent, or 17.90 points, to end at 6,082.30, its highest close since January 4, 2011. January futures contract on India's 50-stock index breached 6,100 points earlier in the day, marking the first time a near-month index futures contract rose over that level since January 6, 2011. The contract ended at 6,097.90 points. Reliance Industries Ltd Among other companies that reported earnings recently, ITC gained 1.43 percent after it beat estimates on Friday with a 21 percent rise in quarterly profit as cigarette volumes improved after four quarters of stagnant growth. Shares in Reliance Communications Ltd Budget carrier SpiceJet The improved earnings also boosted rival Jet Airways "SpiceJet's result offers a very positive read-through for Jet's 3Q results," IIFL said in a note. Shares in Hindustan Unilever Among shares that fell were Housing Development Finance Corp (HDFC) Shares in Mahindra & Mahindra (Additional reprting by Abhishek Vishnoi; Editing by Jijo Jacob)

The 626 Night Market held in Pasadena last Saturday was highly anticipated by foodies and lovers of Asian culture all across the Southland -- ultimately, too highly anticipated, as the event suffered from a problem so many organizers of erstwhile food truck rallies could only dream of: far too many people.
The event, dreamed up by a couple from Taiwan looking to recreate a taste of home, seemed a bit ad hoc at first. Then, a surprisingly comprehensive list of food vendors was released, and the populace took interest. And on the night of the event, the police arrived to send everyone home.
But before that happened, for one brief shining moment at about 5pm, before the crowds got angry about the lines and started sending out angry tweets, the night market was a revelry of Asian food and cultures, with happy people shopping and dancing and eating. Next time, maybe the good mood will last all night -- fingers crossed, as it's a fun idea.

Sonic using the Gun Drive. | |
Statistics and overview | |
First appearance |
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) |
User(s) | |
Description |
Throws a gem that sends the user flying to its location |
Gun Drive (ガンドライブ Gan doraibu?) is a move used by Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) as one of his Custom Actions. This move causes Sonic to literally fly to the location where he throws a special gem. It can only be used when Sonic obtains the Sky Gem.
Using the Gun Drive requires that Sonic possesses the Sky Gem Level Up Item. The player then has to select the Sky Gem with the directional pad, and to use the Gun Drive, the player has to press Right Bumper/.
When using this move, Sonic pulls out a cyan gem (similar to a Sol Emerald) and throws it a certain distance. Once this gem lands on the ground or any surface, Sonic will immediately be "teleported" to the gems location by being literally pulled through the air at great speed, before landing safely on the location. The player can throw the gem longer distances by holding down the Right Bumper/ to "charge up" the throw and can aim with the left Control Stick.
The Gun Drive has it limits however; if the gem is thrown too far, Sonic will be unable to follow it or the reaction time will be delayed. Also, if Sonic runs into an obstacle he cannot pass through while flying through the air, the move will fail.
As the development and publication of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) was rushed, the Gun Drive's use is rather flawed in comparison to the gameplay. For instance, the player can risk launching Sonic "outside" the stage's area or boundaries, resulting in several game glitches. One of these is that if one were to try to break out of the barriers in the VS. Silver battle, and got caught by Silver's attack while in the air, Sonic would fly upwards and into "space."

High-speed stroboscopic imaging with frequency-doubled supercontinuum |
Optics Letters, Vol. 38, Issue 5, pp. 658-660 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (330 KB)
We present a supercontinuum (SC) light source designed for stroboscopic white light interferometry. The compact, cost-effective SC source is built from off-the-shelf optical components and operates both in the visible and near-IR at arbitrary repetition rates in the 10 kHz–1 MHz frequency range. We estimate that our source allows performing dynamic white-light interferometric characterization of rapidly oscillating objects up to several tens of megahertz. Its current potential is demonstrated by capturing the movement of a microelectromechanical system oscillating at 2.16 MHz with sub-100 nm accuracy.

In this paper we utilise data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian (LSAC) to examine the question of how the income-child health gradient, which has attracted much attention from the researchers in recent years, may be explained. Our results show that a previous health shock, as measured by chronic conditions, increases the probability of a child being reported as being in poor health in current period. We find that income has a protective effect on child health, but our interaction term of family income and the lagged health shock is not statistically signicant. Therefore, our results do not provide any evidence that low-SES households are less able to manage a health shock than the high-SES household. Interestingly, we also do not find any convincing evidence that low-SES Australian children are subject to more health shocks. We speculate that the extensive and universal public healthcare system in Australia may offset some of the important health-related disadvantages that are associated with low incomes in other countries.

Got a tip for us? Let us know
Dec 5, 2012, 08:17 AM | #1 |
Hi there, I have the following situation.
We have +/- 50 Macs currently logging in locally, bound to the AD and using shares through SMB towards the Windows servers. They are all 10.7.5 Clients. We als o have a Mac server 10.7.5. What we want is the following: Attach the Mac server to a NAS, HFS+ formatted. We want all the data that's used by the clients on the Windows shares getting moved to the HFS+ storage. So, Now I want to log in with my AD account in my mac, and make the connection to the storage on the NAS. What is the best way to do so, and can I use the AD permissions groups to give the permissions. Do I need to import the AD accounts in the OSX server (how?) A lot of questions, I hope someone can give me the an idea in the good direction ;-) |

There is no reason to use HFS+ formatted drives on a NAS box unless that NAS box happens to be a Time Capsule or an Airport Extreme. More likely, NAS drives are formatted EXT4 (on Synology and other Linux-based NAS boxes).
Many NAS boxes offer the ability to manage accounts on Windows (AD) or on OSX or locally on the NAS box. I have a small setup with roughly a half dozen machines hitting 3 NAS boxes and I manage all the accounts on each NAS box except for the Time Capsule which only uses a disk password (for TM backups only).

Your supervisor and Payroll must be notified immediately upon receipt of a summons to jury duty.

What Went Right?
Thompson |
Swoopes also had a fine season, scoring 14.8 ppg, though her offensive production
has diminished the past few seasons. Yet, the starting frontcourt accounted for
nearly two-thirds of the Comets scoring. Center Michelle Snowhad another solid
season, averaging 8.9 ppg and a team-leading 7.7 rebounds per game, but because
of her size and strength, more is still expected out of her.
The Comets missed the playoffs for the first time in team history despite two of the best players in the world suiting up in the frontcourt. Why? Because the Comets lacked the same star power or reliability in the backcourt in 2004. The two primary differences in the Comets team that won four WNBA titles in the first four seasons in league history and the team that only won 13 in 2004 were the lack of a dependable guard and the presence of a third (and fourth) scoring option.
Coach Van Chancellor went with a rotating guard platoon of Sheila Lambert, Kedra Holland-Corn, Felicia Ragland and Dominique Canty. Janeth Arcain took a year off for the Olympics, but will be back in Houston this season. Even though she is 36, she still should have some drive left in her tank.
And as great an honor as it is to play for and win Olympic gold, having
three key members of that team (including Chancellor) likely took its toll on
the Comets. Fatigue likely set in, as did the key injuries. Thompson missed eight
games and played in a career-low 26 games. When she was in the lineup, she could
rarely afford to rest and ranked first in the WNBA in minutes per game (36.8).

Key Questions
Phillips |
What will be the impact of free agent center Tari Phillips, who signed with Houston after missing almost all of last season with the Liberty with a hand injury? Will she recover well enough to re-gain her former All-Star form? Or will last year's starting center Michell Snow fight off Phillips and keep hold of the starting job? Will Snow be the second player to dunk in a WNBA game? She has already thrown down in Europe this offseason and is itching to assert herself in the WNBA. Stay tuned...
