Again, what follows are extended notes of what I found interesting as I listened in. It's very far from being a complete transcript. If you want to hear the entire call (and find out what I didn't cover, listen to the actual questions that were asked by analysts, and pecifically how a question were or WERE NOT answered (Internet News.com lists a few of them at the end of their article), a replay is available here and worth a listen.

SB: There have been have lost a handful of accounts, relatively small ones. No particular pattern.
ES: AOL has been one of our longest and tightest partners for many years. That work continues. They are a very very valued partnered. We hope it continues forever.
ES: VoIP and Instant Messaging are growing and becoming a significant part of peoples online experiences.
ES: "We don't do the same thing as every else does. And so if you try to predict our product strategy by simply saying well so and so has this and Google will do the same thing, it's almost always the wrong answer. We look at markets as they exist and we assume they are pretty well served by their existing players. We try to see new problems and new markets using the technology that others use and we build."
JR: More money moving into pay-per-click model. Other platforms that we can apply ad network to (ie. print). Main focus on sea change in advertising.
ES: The days of the unified online experience. Google intends to be the primary mechanism for access to all of that info. We have done a large number of deals with mobile operators. Sun is valuable for toolbar distribution and other tech. Give people choices about which platform people want to use.

OK: Search network is pretty stable for us. Still tremendous opportunities. Partners are spending.
JR: We're holding or gaining market share in all markets.
SB: We're excited about Gmail but still looking at it as a platform to build/experiment vs. a revenue producer.
ES: When we look at the quarter we see improvements in monetization across the board. It spans all categories. It's not a single product, it's a discipline around of new product development that touches across the entire portfolio of the company.
ES: Things are obviously going very well here. What is great about this business is that it can be extended very very broadly. It's a very very very big space.

President Obama's choice to head the White House Council of Economic Advisors is an expert on jobs who has previously served in the administration. As such, he's already gone through the sometimes-grueling Senate confirmation process.
Alan Krueger, a member of the faculty at Princeton University, should be able to hit the ground running once he's on the job. Interestingly, the announcement of his appointment on Monday was met with praise from two former advisors to President George W. Bush, and was criticized by some on the political left. This will in no way work against Krueger in today's increasingly Republican-dominated Congress.
Our national political environment is not particularly conducive to compromise these days. There's more shouting than there is debate, dismissiveness having replaced listening.
There was a time when governing would take something of a step back so that campaigning could come to the fore. This might have made some sense – before the era of the endless political campaign. Today, when one election is little more than a precursor to the next, governing has got to occur amid, and despite, the din.
This is a fact of our time, not a criticism of one side or the other. People and politicians of all political stripes have become quite adept at reciting a set of talking points. And calling that debate.
For our part, we quite like the choice of an academic jobs expert who has already had some experience in the ways of the federal government. Before he returned to Princeton in 2010, Kruger was an assistant secretary and chief economist in the Treasury Department for 17 months.
Krueger will not walk into this blind.
The nation needs jobs. It needs clear thinking, a well-considered plan, general agreement. None of this will be easily accomplished, but throwing up our hands is not an alternative.

The Lane Twins (re-air) - Dec 23,2012 |
Currently, the Lane Twins are living the high life in Los Angeles, California, soaking the sun up with all the other angels. When asked about being identical twins, the Lane brothers say they always think of it as being a very special and wonderful gift. A gift that they are using to their benefit in reaching Hollywood stardom. It has already opened so many doors for these two, that they have had roles in such big flicks as "Spiderman," "Zoolander," and "The Patriot." I happen to just stumble across these guys and their new documentary, "Hollywood to Dollywood" and its trailer tonight and couldnt resist to invite them to the show to talk about their journey and love for Dolly Parton. |

Al-Suwailem, Dr. Umar A. COLOR IMAGE IDENTIFICATION AND RESTORATION. NCC1997.
| PDF 268Kb |
Image identification involves estimating the properties of an imperfect imaging system from an observed image prior to the restoration process. In this paper we present a novel identification technique for multichannel image processing using the maximum likelihood estimation (ML) approach. The image is represented as an autoregressive (AR) model and blur is described as a continuous spatial domain model, to overcome some major limitations encountered in other ML methods. Cross-spectral and spatial components, which are inherent to multichannel imaging systems, are also incorporated in the model to improve the overall performance. Also, it is shown that blur extent can be optimally identified from noisy color images that are degraded by uniform linear motion or out-of-focus blurs. The novelty of this approach in identifying the blur of multichannel images is a major contribution in producing visually acceptable results which is significant for higher processing levels.

It triggers diversion of energy of plant to flower production and complete cessation of vegetative growth
Bamboo is a major source of income for the inhabitants of Tumba jungle
Earlier, rat population had increased after flowering that led to destruction of fields
BERHAMPUR: A large number of bamboo bushes in the Tumba jungle in Berhampur forest division have started to flower.
It has created a sense of panic and apprehension in the minds of tribals and others living in the area.
Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of Berhampur, A.K. Jena said they have located more than 800 mature bamboo bushes in the Tumba jungle, which have flowered. Usually bamboo bushes flower at an interval of 45 to 120 years. And mass flowering of bamboo occurs in an area. The vegetative growth of the bamboo plants stop after the flowering, which means death of the bamboo bush.
So, it is feared that this flowering of bamboo trees in Tumba area may mean the end of bamboo bushes in the jungle. Bamboo happens to be a major source of income for the tribal living in the area. According to Mr. Jena, flowering triggers diversion of all energy of the plant to flower production and complete cessation of vegetative growth. According to Chandradhwja Sahu, a localite of the area, it may mean end of bamboo presence in this jungle. But Mr. Jena said after the flowering of all the bamboo bushes ends, they would make efforts for bamboo plantation in the area.
The local tribals feel mass flowering of bamboo plants have direct as well as indirect economic and ecological impacts. Many say it hints at the fact that a famine may occur in the area. But the forest officials said increase in bamboo fruits after flowering in the forests may increase rat population. Usually in the past the increased rodent population was related to loss of food grain and increase in diseases among humans, which has led to this belief, said Mr Jena. But it is for sure death of bamboo bushes after flowering would make tribals lose their major building material and a source of livelihood.

+ - Microsoft and Nvidia Have Acquisition Pact->
Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "Infoweek is reporting that Microsoft has obtained the exclusive right to match any buyout offers for Nvidia. The obscure pact was uncovered in SEC documents, and apparently stems from Microsoft's licensing of Nvidia chips for the Xbox. But its real value now lies in the fact that Nvidia has become a major player in tablet chips, including chips for Windows 8 slates."

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Hennessy Cognac XO
Originally created in 1870 by Maurice Hennessy using very old eaux de vie, X.O was reserved exclusively for his family and friends. X.O has always embodied the finest traditions of Hennessy cognac. X.O is blended from more than 100 eaux de vie specially selected from the four premier growing areas. Some of the eaux de vie used in the blend have been ageing in the Hennessy warehouses since the early part of this century. Rich, full-bodied and complex, X.O combines the spicy aromas of oak and leather with the sweeter essences of flowers and ripe fruit. Well-balanced, the initial flourish is dominated by the powerful suggestion of pepper and rancio, which testify to the long years it has spent being aged. Complex and long-lasting.

Message: This Tear of Hope was designed to wear to remember that honoring, loving and sometimes grieving brings hope back into our hearts.
There are many sentiments that create a tear. The person serving as well as the person having to let go of their loved one for the sake of freedom is one of those important sentiments. It is a gift given at the hands of the brave. The Tear of Hope is a tribute to those people of courage. We salute and honor you!
Life has a certain flavor for those who have fought and risked all that the sheltered and protected can never experience. - John Stuart Mill

Discarded ashes spark blaze, family left homeless
Discarded ashes spark blaze, family left homeless
By KATHLEEN McLAUGHLIN
Staff writer
DANVERS -- Improperly discarded ashes sparked an early morning blaze that left 11 people homeless yesterday.
The fire erupted about 2:30 a.m. and quickly spread through a house on Route 114 near the Rosewood office tower. No one in the house was injured.
A former barn or garage area on the property, located at 308 Andover St., was reduced to a charred skeleton, and the rest of the house was heavily damaged. Fire officials estimate the house sustained about $200,000 in damage.
A family member explained later that homeowner Bill Bartlett was using the wood stove to heat the barn area while he remodeled it.
Bartlett discovered the fire at the rear of the house after waking up to the smell of smoke. The flames were already 5 or 6 feet high, said Bill Bartlett, who did not want to discuss details. He tried to use his own extinguisher, but the fire was out of control.
"Everyone got out safe," said Stephen Bartlett, who owns the house along with Bill and their sister, Joy Bartlett. "We want to thank the police and fire department for all their help."
Bill Bartlett had cleaned out a wood stove Monday morning, Danvers fire investigator Lt. David DeLuca said. The ashes were dumped over a fence, which was attached to the house near a shed in the backyard. Aided by a strong southwesterly wind, the embers ignited either surrounding debris or the fence itself, fire investigators said.
Once the siding of the rambling 1800s home caught fire, DeLuca said it didn't take long to spread.
Two firefighters hurt
Firefighters met a few problems. Danvers fire Capt. James McPherson hurt his back when he slipped on ice that formed as water ran over the yard and Route 114, Deputy Chief Stephen Prendergast said.
Firefighter Michael Delisio suffered second-degree burns to his left ear, though he was wearing a protective hood. Both men were recovering at home yesterday. Prendergast said he was still trying to determine how Delisio was burned.
Neighbors and the first official on the scene, Danvers Patrolman Peter Shabowich, reported hearing an explosion just before the fire began to spread. Prendergast said it might have been caused by one of the propane tanks left outside the house, or from a chemical used in welding.
A neighbor said the Bartletts often fix and sell cars. Three trucks and one car bearing a "for sale" sign were still parked in the yard yesterday. Others had been moved to make way for fire trucks.
Firefighters also had difficulty with one hydrant, the one nearest the house. Prendergast said it was stuck and couldn't be opened in time to be of use. That didn't delay firefighters' efforts, he said, because they turned to another hydrant on Route 114.
"The guys made a great try to save the ... home," DeLuca said. "Unfortunately, it just didn't work out."
Firefighters spent about 45 minutes inside the house, pulling ceilings apart in an effort to reach the fire in the attic, DeLuca said. They eventually had to leave the building and fight the fire from the roof.
A family split up
Melissa Bartlett, 18, was staying with a friend Monday night and learned about the loss from her mother, Judith Bartlett.
"Everything in our house is gone," she said.
Bartlett said her mother was awake in the main part of the house and smelled smoke before it reached detectors. She grabbed her 5-year-old daughter, Brianna, and awakened four others inside.
The rest of the 11-member extended family was not home.
Melissa Bartlett said she expects her family will rebuild the home, where they've lived for five years.
"We've always lived together," she said.
The family was scattered after the fire. Bartlett said her mother, father and sisters were staying with a grandmother. She is staying with a friend, and her cousin is staying with his girlfriend's parents. She wasn't sure where her aunt and uncle would be temporarily.
Red Cross workers were on the scene yesterday, and they handed out $100 cash vouchers. Those who escaped had only their night clothes.
Route 114 was blocked until about 6:30 a.m., and word of the fire spread quickly.
Men who usually see Bill Bartlett at the Route 114 Dunkin' Donuts rushed up to the scene as soon as they heard the news, said April Miller, a friend who lives across the street.
Miller said she and her husband hoped Bartlett and his family wouldn't have to move. "He's the friendliest person in the neighborhood," she said.

Bill Bartlett had cleaned out a wood stove Monday morning, Danvers fire investigator Lt. David DeLuca said. The ashes were dumped over a fence, which was attached to the house near a shed in the backyard. Aided by a strong southwesterly wind, the embers ignited either surrounding debris or the fence itself, fire investigators said.
Ours seems to be cleaning out the fireplace, putting the ashes in a cardboard box and leaving it on the wood deck.

At least people around know how to take care of the ashes. The problem people are the ones who use their fireplace once a year at Christmas time. Through in tons of paper and light, next thing you know we have a chimney fire. All they have to do is spend $20 to clean the chimney and you are fine.

Copper nanowires on Recycled Conducting Glass for DSSC Electrodes | |
Authors: | C-Y Liao |
Affilation: | National Cheng Kung University, TW |
Pages: | 412 - 415 |
Keywords: | recycling, ITO, dye-sensitized solar cells, copper nanowires |
Abstract: | A simple method for recovery of ITO glass from thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) wastes for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) electrodes has been developed. The ITO glass separated from the color filter and TFT array glass substrate were sandwiched with two parallel aluminum plates moved in opposite directions in the ethanol solution assisted with supersonic vibration was recovered. The recovered ITO glass has optical transmission of about 70% with the resistivity of 100 ohm approximately. To enhance the conductivity of electrodes with recovered ITO glass for DSSC electrodes, controllable Cu@C core shell nanoparticles (prepared by carbonization of Cu2+– β-cyclodextrin at 573 K) were used to construct copper nanowires on recovered ITO glass by screen printing and steam reforming. The efficiency of the DSSC utilizing copper nanowires on electrodes (Fig. 1) is generally greater than 2%. Notably, by the use of the recovered ITO glass in assembling DSSCs the total cost may be reduced by 60%.. |

COLUMBIA — What would the biggest sporting event of the year be without a little pizza?
The Super Bowl kicked off at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, but pizza parlors around Columbia worked all afternoon and evening on one of their busiest days of the year.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the three largest pizza chains expected to sell 4.4 million pizzas Sunday. Domino's Pizza alone expected to sell 11 million slices, or 127 slices per second in a 24-hour period, according to a news release.
Locally, Gumby's Pizza manager Joe Waner said Super Bowl Sunday ranks as the store's second-busiest day of the year, behind only MU's Homecoming in October. Waner expected to sell 200 pizzas for the day, about twice as much as an average Sunday.
To prepare for the game, Waner said he had 16 staff members cooking and delivering pizzas, which is also double the usual amount and half of the total staff employed at the pizzeria.
As for the busiest time during the day itself, Waner said that while business is steady throughout the day, halftime tends to be the busiest.
"At halftime, everyone's together to have pizza," he said.
Orders will keep coming in after the game before dying off as people become "full of pizza and fall asleep," he said.
Waner said it's imperative that the right toppings the customers ordered are used and drivers report to the correct addresses during the rush. He also increased the expected wait time from 30-45 minutes to 90 minutes.
"It's super important," he said. "You don't want to fall behind or anything. We don't want to substitute quality for speed."
But not every restaurant circles the Super Bowl on their calendar.
"We don't really blow up on Super Bowl Sunday," said Daniel Trivinos, a manager at Shakespeare's Pizza. "We're not a delivery-first kind of place."
He said only 10 to 15 pizzas had been sold as of two hours before kickoff and that he let a few people go home early. Shakespeare's employs few drivers, which makes it difficult to keep up with national chains when people want to eat at home while watching the game.
Wise Guys general manager Josh Bachman brought in twice his usual staff and said the store sold 175 pizzas and 38 side orders during the 2011 Super Bowl. He said he expected comparable numbers this year.
He also said Super Bowl Sunday isn't the busiest overall day of the year – like Gumby's, that belongs to Homecoming – but that the four-hour window of the game is the busiest time frame during the year.
As for popularity between toppings, it isn't close.
"Pepperoni is by far the biggest seller," Bachman said.
He said he always tries to keep the estimated wait time at 45 minutes, but that can prove to be a challenge as the store's one oven reaches 100 percent capacity.
Bachman added speed and accuracy are more important on busier days, because drivers can call in incorrect orders and redeliver the pizza without getting bogged down on regular days. But during the Super Bowl, there is little room for error.
"Nobody wants a messed-up pizza."

Men's Basketball Loses to La Roche in Final Seconds
The Redhawks improve to 4-6 overall and 3-1 in the AMCC while the Bobcats fall to 7-4 overall and 2-2 in the AMCC.
A Roche dominated the beginning of the second half, holding double-digit leads throughout the first ten minutes. The Redhawks held their last double-digit lead, 61-51, when Pringle converted a free throw with 8:23 remaining. Junior Jason Peterson (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen (Harford CC)) then cut the deficit to eight with a layup at 7:59. The Bobcats would slowly erase the Redhawk lead bringing it to one, 77-76, with 54 seconds remaining when Peterson hit a jumper.
Nine seconds later Brent Dover converted a three-point play to push the lead to four. Redshirt-junior Kamillo Rosenthal (Munich, Germany/Bishop Sullivan) then made a layup in traffic to pull the Bobcats to within two. With 16 seconds remaining, Peterson made a layup to which tied the score at 80 setting up Pringle's late heroics.
In the first half, La Roche held a 12-6 advantage with 14:40 left. FSU scored seven straight points taking a one-point lead on a Peterson jumper at 11:14. The Redhawks pushed the lead back to five at 9:46 on a Stacy Grady three-pointer.
The Bobcats would take their last lead of the game, 31-29, on a layup by freshman Brian Green (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley). Grady then capped a 10-2 Redhawk run with a last-second three-pointer to give his team the lead at the break 39-33.
Peterson was the only Bobcat in double figures scoring 32 points on 13-of-16 shooting while grabbing six rebounds and adding four steals. Redshirt-freshman Brian Owen (Gainesville, Va./Brentsville) scored nine points followed by junior Victor Arana (Aberdeen, Md./Ellison, Texas (Harford CC)) with eight. Arana also pulled down a team-high eight rebounds.
Devin Taylor scored a game-high 36 points on 13-of-15 shooting while grabbing seven rebounds for the Redhawks. Dover and Pringle scored 17 and 16 points, respectively. Frank Davis had nine rebounds.
FSU returns to action January 14 when it travels to conference newcomer Hilbert at 8 pm.

All we expected it to be We thought this was a great price on the red leather storage bench and perfect for what we were wanting for our new bedroom decor. The reviews were very positive so we decided to make our first purchase with overstock.com. We are very pleased! The product is all that it is advertised to be. Great quality, sturdy, big storage space and beautiful. Overstock.com was quick to ship it out and we had it within just a handful of days. We are happy all the way around.

Found it! I've always had a problem managing my mounds of odds and ends that aren't quite ready for the bin, but still look unsightly if left out. This bench is beautiful, very high quality, and the perfect way to conceal an entire living room's worth of what would look like junk to the untrained eye. What is more, for my small Manhattan apartment, it provides 2-3 extra seats (basically, a whole other party....). I LOVE IT!!My only warning is that you should have an extra pair of hands available as the weight is about 75lbs. Assemble is extremely easy (I screwed the legs by myself).

GOOD STUFF We really like this bench, it is really good loking and funtional, The lid is not as easy to open so little kids wont be able to open, but once it is open the lid stays in an upright possition. Because of were the hinges are located you can't really put it agaist the wall and open it at the same time, it needs to be about 3-4 in. (the lid thickness) away form the wall. Overall it is a very good product in its price range, not even discount stores in town would come close to match its quality. Definetly a good buy.

Beautiful, sturdy bench Received my bench yesterday after ordering it just three days before! UPS delivered it to my condo door which was a big help as it is quite heavy. Everything about the bench is quality and it definitely looks more expensive than it was. Love the color! Its a true deep red and exactly matches the picture. Inside storage is definitely roomier than I expected. Definitely an excellent buy for anyone who would like a little additional seating and storage.

Nicely made What a great price for a well made piece of leather furniture. It's true to the photo in color - a nice rich red, not even close to orange, burgundy or brown. The storage is handy too; well finished with heavy duty piano type hinges. It's firm when you sit on it (which I like) but I'd expect it to soften up a little with use.... It came very well packed and FAST. Easy to assemble (just screw on the 4 square feet.) I have a Persian rug with little bits of cranberry in it. This will pull that color out for me. Very happy with my purchase.

Neighborhood: Outside the city
On hot summer days, half the city migrates to the Schotter Lakes. The most recent record counted more than 25,000 visitors, which created a parking space inferno. But, the large numbers is not without reason since this is the most beautiful leisure oasis in and around Graz with its clear waters, enough space to spread out, various restaurants, ice-cream and refreshments, great routes for inline-skating, water sports and beach-volleyball courts. There are some special activities: an excursion boat for trips around the lake, a waterski-lift and a cart track. Needless to say, most of the water sports like sailing, surfing and diving are very popular with the people. During the summer months there are frequent concerts in the Schwarzl Halle.

To avoid confusion I should mention that the creek that runs down the canyon below the South Face of LPP is actually not Tuttle Creek, although it does join Tuttle Creek a point just past Stone House Buttress. I don't know what this creek is called, and probably referred to it as Tuttle Creek in the route description. |
By FrankPS From: Atascadero, CA Jun 30, 2011 |
Bryan - nice beta photo. I'm fairly sure the creek that runs down that whole drainage beneath the south face of LPP is the "North Fork of Tuttle Creek." The south fork is the one that runs in the next drainage (south) near Mt. Langley. |

Mozo, the makers of those slip-on, non-slip cloggy things that chefs wear to work, asked several chefs including Marcus Samuelsson and Incanto's Chris Cosentino to come up with some custom designs for them. Naturally, Cosentino, who never met a PR opportunity that didn't call for some offal promotion, did one with a tripe-print pattern that might look sort of pretty if we didn't know it was tripe.

Hi Troubs12, got the sensors 4H0 919 275 A- 8 pieces - same for front and back, also is it 2 / 4 channel modules or just one 8 channel ECU to control front and rear ? Peter
Hey Troubs12, that is exactly what i need, the ETKA is a bit confusing on this matter. What i have is a 2006 2.0 TDI, with the rear parking sensors, and the Rns-e 193 G unit. So what is need is part numbers for the front sensors, and ECU etc. Also, did you just install the new Can gateway module and then just copy coding from the old one ? Much appreciated Peter
Hi there I got a little confused from all the messages in the gateway thread are you after the part number for the gateway control unit for your car to enable it to see a new type of parking aid ecu? I'm currently in the middle of a retrofit on my 04 a3 and so far have fitted the new rns-e, parking aid ecu and gateway and would be happy to send any part numbers/advise that I can just pm me what ones you need

dc.description.abstract | Driven by the financial distress of many social security systems worldwide, national public pension funds (PPFs) have proliferated in recent years. Considering the fact that in 2007, they managed assets globally by more than four trillion and a half dollars, oversight of these pension schemes is utterly warranted. Since PPFs are ultimately financial intermediaries, strict regulation and close scrutiny of their stakeholders is desirable in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest between the owners and the managers of the funds, which are exacerbated in the case of pension funds administered by the public sector because of many reasons discussed in the paper. Governance standards should be equally rigorous as those applicable to private pension funds. Additionally, sound institutional structure is needed to keep under control undue political interference by promoting good practices of disclosure and accountability. According to several case studies, at present, national PPFs display heterogeneous standards in this regard. In light of their size and intrinsic governance shortcomings, there exists a pressing need for Guidelines of Good Practices for Public Pension Funds Governance that lays the grounds on which these particular institutional investors should be run to achieve their stated purposes. The current document provides Guidelines proposing as key areas of a PPF the maximization of the risk-adjusted net return on the reserves, collections of contributions, payments of benefits, compliance enforcement, and account management. In turn, an environment conducive to the accomplishment of these objectives must be grounded on three pillars: (i) Internal Governance Structure: a good internal governance structure is one that ensures that the Fund will be administered by a committed and professional governing body where decisions are made after careful deliberation and agreement between its members in accordance to the Fund's objectives and fully consistent with the long-term commitments made to plan members; (ii) Investment Policy: a good investment policy is one that clearly and explicitly sets forth in advance the short- and long-term asset allocation, its rationale in light of the Fund's goal, the risks involved, and the tools to be used to deal with deviations from such goal; and (iii) Transparency and Accountability: it is crucial that relevant and timely information be disclosed to all stakeholders so as to facilitate monitoring and oversight of Fund authorities and actions be taken to detect and punish opportunistic behaviors and bad performance. After listing the principles recommended for a good framework of governance, accountability and transparency, the document develops a Manual that complements the Guidelines with its technical rationale, some operational aspects and international experience as applicable. | en |

Hillside and Mount Vernon intersection closed for the weekend after water main break
The intersection at Mount Vernon and Hillside will be closed to traffic through the weekend after a water main installed more than 60 years ago broke Thursday morning.
The 12-inch, cast-iron pipe that was installed in 1952 broke about 1 a.m., said Joe Pajor, deputy director for Wichita's public works and utilities.
Repairs required a considerable amount of excavation, so pavement repairs will need to dry over the weekend.
Water was off for the area all day but was expected to be turned back on by early Thursday evening.
Join the Discussion
The Wichita Eagle is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point. Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

Broken Relief

It's over. It's all over, the production part of this project. And there's a deep relief knowing that I'll finally be able to break down the setup that has commandeered so much of my room for weeks.
36 bottles of beer tonight. Six six packs, all soaking now in a shard-filled bath of beer. That's 36 on top of about as many water-filled test bottles, used really just to finely tune my shutter-click-to-bottle-break coordination.
Now on to plenty of Photoshop work, sequencing, portfolioing, printing copies for the hardware store manager and the nice guys at the liquor mart. The conversations with my photo comrades. Chats with the rest of y'all. Gathering of likes on Facebook. Contacting the breweries to say hey and inquire about whether this catches their eye.
One comment on "Broken Relief"
Simply amazing. Great work Gus!

Tokyo is the venue for the TESOL course in Japan. An incredible city on the edge of the Orient, Tokyo is the last great metropolis before the Pacific Ocean, and is perhaps one of the world's most fascinating cities.
Take a step back from the big city bustle and the frenetic main roads and you'll find yourself in a world of tranquil backstreets, where wooden houses are fronted by neatly clipped bonsai trees; wander beyond the high-tech department stores, and you'll find ancient temples and shrines. In this city of 24-hour shops and vending machines, a festival is held virtually every day of the year, with the locals regularly visiting their local shrine or temple and scrupulously observing the passing seasons. At the centre of it all is the mysterious green void of the Imperial Palace, home to the emperor and a tangible link to the past.
In so many ways Tokyo is something of a modern-day utopia. Trains predictably run on time; the crime rate is virtually non existent; shops and vending machines are there to provide everything you could need (along with many things you never thought you needed) 24 hours a day. The people simply have to wear the coolest fashions, eat in fabulous restaurants and party in the hippest clubs. You can't be bored here - first-time visitors should be prepared for a major assault on the senses. Just walking the streets of this hyperactive city can be an invigorating experience.
TESOL course participants will also be pleasantly surprised how affordable many things are. Cheap-and-cheerful izakaya (bars that serve food) and noodle shacks far outnumber the big-ticket French restaurants and high-class ryotei, where geisha serve minimalist Japanese cuisine. Day tickets for a traditional sumo tournament or a Kabuki play can be bought for the price of a few drinks.
Many of the city's highlights are free! You can stroll through the evocative Shitamachi (low city) area around Asakusa and the major Buddhist temple Senso-ji. You may want to pay a visit to the tranquil wooded grounds of Meiji-jingu, the city's most venerable Shinto shrine, and the nearby teenage shopping mecca of Harajuku. There's always the frenetic fish market at Tsukiji to experience, or you could soak up the neon-saturated atmosphere of the mini-city of Shinjuku.
Either before or after your TESOL course in Tokyo, you may want to explore other parts of Japan. Tokyo is the major transport hub for Japan. Every day, scores of Shinkansen (bullet trains) speed up to the far north of Honsho or south to Kyushu, while flights, buses and ferries connect Tokyo to the far-flung corners and islands of the Japanese archipelago.
Tokyo can be fairly warm in the height of summer, when visitors enjoy the plentiful air-conditioning. October and November, by contrast, are great months to take in the spectacularly coloured autumn leaves in Tokyo's parks and gardens. Temperatures dip to freezing in the winter months, though the crisp blue skies are rarely interrupted by rain or snow showers. April is the month when locals party beneath the flurries of falling cherry blossoms - perhaps one of the most picturesque months to visit Tokyo. Carrying an umbrella is a good idea during the rainy season in June and September, when typhoons occasionally strike the coast.
Legend has it that a giant catfish sleeps beneath Tokyo Bay, and its movements can be felt in the hundreds of small, harmless tremors that rumble the capital each year. There is a long-running, half-hearted debate about moving the main government offices out of Tokyo, away from danger. Yet, despite the fact that the city is well overdue for the Big One, talk of relocating the capital always comes to nothing. Now, more than ever before, Tokyo is the centre of Japan, and nobody wants to leave and miss any of the action.
Tokyo is the place to be - the ideal location for your TESOL course.
