Masjid Raya, Medan
Steven// 11th May 2008
I have been traveling solo for a few days in Northern Sumatra.
First stop was Medan, a coastal city of 2-3m people. There is a beautiful mosque here- Masjid Raya- as well as a healthy Chinese presence- good chance to air my Mandarin and get some tasty treats.This first night in Indonesia for me felt edgy, it might just be that I am traveling alone for the first time in the journey, but I think that it has to do with what I have heard and read of this huge country. This is just a first impression, but along with it is the observation that the Indonesian people are welcoming, with broad grins, asking how you are and, oddly, where you're going.
I then went to Bukit Lawang for the orangutan exposure. This quirky little place is on the edge of the Gunung Leuser National Park. One piece of advice that I'd have for people visiting there is that , if you encounter a guide on the bus from Medan, the best thing is not to show interest. It's better to look for trekking in the NP once in Bukit Lawang and you won't hurt
Masjid Raya, Medan
any feelings ( my would be guide went out of his way, but I just wanted time to think), and also it helps the locals- everyone has a fair chance to pitch to you.
I didn't do trekking in the end, but I visited the famous orangutan rehabilitation centrre at feeding time. The aim of the place is to re-introduce those animals which have spent time in captivity to their native habitat. I also took myself on a walk to a nearby cave with bas roosting inside. This was nice- the cave was dark and eery and the bats presented themselves by swooping past me in the dark- all I could sense of them was the clicking of their sonar and the smell in the cave- from their pungent droppings!
I saw other animals too. A troop of macques, who were really very shy, darting off as soon as they saw me, as well as a species called "Thomas leaf-eaters". I saw these a few times, the first was when I went to invetigate the banging on the tin rooves of my guest house at 7am, and then later on a walk through the forest. The monkeys acted
Bukit Lawang
ad a unit- the females snatching up the young and escaping, whilst two or three bold males stay behind to watch the intruder, one or two making screetching sounds to ward off the visitor and, I guess, to draw attention away fron the young.
Lelde has said many times recently that, on this trip, we are moving too fast, trying to see too much. In Sumatra I have begun to agree with this, as many places warrant further inspection and a longer stay, but, because of time constraints, I've had to keep moving.
Today I trekked up Mnt. Sibayak, an active volcanoe 2 hours from Medan. It was a meditative climb- 3hrs up- and nice to grin back at the locals on motor bikes whizzing past and shouting "hello mister" -a greeting that I can't get enough of. At the top, the clouds covered the view at times, and briefly revealed the smoking crater. The sound of the escaping, sulfurous fumes was like a jet engine- it was really other wordly. I had the whole crater to myself and time to clamber around taking shots of the bright yellow vents- hot and most, pretty smelly too!
Orangutan rehabilitation Centre, Bukit Lawang.
After coming down the side of the mountain, I took a dip in the hot spring baths at the bottom, right near a geo-thermal plant. I then took a hair raising minivan journey back to Berastagi, hanging onto the side- public transport here is often packed to the rafters! I've met a couple of German guys. We'll all be going to Lake Toba tomorrow, South East Asia's biggest lake, formed by a crater,with an island in the middle the size of Singapore. Indonesia is turning out to be something really different and wild.

We are in Jakarta (Java) now- just arrived last night after spending 40 hours on a bus (economy class - no room for legs, stuffy, full with locals smoking all the time😊, but i will write about Sumatra. When I first arrived in Indonesia, I was rather sad, I wished I'd have stayed in Malaysia and explored it more - it's a great place! I was rather lusky to meet up on the boat from Melaka (malaysia) to Dumai (indonesia) with a young danish couple, as we were, besides 2 other ladys, the only westerners there. And so we were surrounded by touts
Orangutan rehabilitation Centre, Bukit Lawang.
who wanted to sell as tickets to Bukittingi (our next destination)... It would be hard on my own to fight them back and not to panic 😊
Anyways as we started walking towards the town center a guy on a motorbike approached us (along with many others), but he was different, he was an English teacher, very devoted to his profession and he wanted his students to practise english with foreigners. He helped us a lot! He showed the way to the town center. That's where I found out that I coudn't take any money out of the ATM - that was the first time I tryed to do this in SEA as before I had money in cash or travelers cheques, but at that point I had no more money!!!! I was close to panic! But the Danish couple leant me some money as we were traveling the same direction (where I was supposed to meet up with Steven). I've been really lucky with people those 8 days on my own! Anyways, the teacher took us to his house, where he had a lesson at 4pm, we took part in it and then he took as to the bus
Orangutan rehabilitation Centre, Bukit Lawang.
station and got us bus tickets for local prices. He welcomes all volunteers and can offer free nights stay and also breakfast. I'll write his email address if somebody is interested 😊
Yeah, I felt a lot of attention from male locals in this country when walking on my own and sometimes I thought it would be a great idea to buy paranga(burqa?) or whatever it's called the muslim women cover themselves from head to toe.
The food is lovely here - I really love it! Many people (most of them) eat their food with fingers. Every time you order something you get a little bowl of water (no soap of course😊 to wash your hands and a little towel. I tried it a few times, but it's not too appealing to me, or practical.
It's very muslim here and we can here prayers broadcasted from loudspeakers many times a day. At one point in Bukettingi they were singing and talking (reading the Koran) all day long, in the end it just got so tiring and irritating...
After I met Steven in Bukettingi we tried to see the bigest flower in the world - Rafflesia (it's about 1m wide when
A new friend
Bukit Lawang
blooming), but didn't manage to. So we went to lake Maninjau - which was very beautiful, but rather dirtyish as locals are trying to earn quick money and establish a lot of fish farms on the lake , feeding those fish with some sort of unhealthy things for the environment not giving a second thought, that their children might not be able after their actions to fish there anymore in the near future.
We rented bikes and went cycling around the lake (70km)- it took us 5 hours- a nice ride, but the last hour was rather tough and my backside was hearting a lot! On our way we had to say hello or aswer questions "what's your name, where are you from?" almost every minute or so. Very friendly people. Only once a passing motorcycle people shouted Fuck you to us 😊) And houses here are so nice - beautifull traditional architecture! In no other place I've been on this trip have I seen such a concentration of nice buildings! - a pleasure for one's eye!
That's it for now - it's late. We will publish an entry for Malaysia as well. It's without pictues unfortunately, but hopefuly we'll
Mt. Sibayak
add some soon.

Hi,.. I just want to corrected your photos posted,( Sumatera photos) (Rafflesia , we didn't to see a flowering specimin, but this plant produces the largest flowers in the world a meter i diameter) Correct: Is not Rafflesia, but it is Rhizanthes (Rafflesiaceae), because Rafflesia buds is larger than Rhizanthes.Both of them same family but different genera. when you want to look, the real of Rafflesia image, you can see www.rafflesia-in-bloom.blogspot.com (that is our reseach web-site about Rafflesia) May i know, where you get that photo's? for your photos Miningkabau show, Bukit Tinggi Correct: Minangkabau show, Bukit Tinggi regards, Ridha.

hi there
The photo of the bud was taken by myself outside a village just north of Bukit tinggi. A local lad offered to show us flowers, but they had all withered away, so we saw this instead.

This work addresses the problem of estimating power consumption at higher levels of design abstraction namely, behavioral and architectural (RTL) levels. The techniques are employed in a high level synthesis environment known as Profile-Driven Synthesis System (PDSS), to synthesize low power designs. The contributions of this work are: a behavioral profiler, a behavioral power estimator, architectural power estimator architectural power simulation and a low power behavioral synthesis environment -- PDSS. Broadly, for any power estimation technique proposed in this work, there are two distinct steps : (a) Power Characterization of Module Library; and (b) Power estimation for a given design. The first step involves characterizing the RTL parameterized module library (for datapaths) and PLAs (for controllers) for typical power consumption on an input event, as a function of parameters such bit-size, input size, state-size etc. The second step involves using the profile data gathered at ...

The start of our trip.
Departure from Huntsville toward Chicago. Got an all day lay over in Chicago because there is only one flght to Chicago from Huntsville.
All went well other than the American Airlines agent had to physically complete the baggage connection between Paris and Malta. This meant that he had to hand write the ultimate destination. I don' think he has ever heard of Malta.

The world of journalism has changed in the internet era. Newsrooms are significantly smaller now than they were 10 years ago, and news is no longer a once-a-day product, but instead a constant flow of information. Thanks to Twitter, journalists are now faced with the challenge of adapting their roles in this digital era, finding new ways to add value to content, and making content relevant.

"Georgeous invitation. A tidbit if you will be placing the invitation on an envelopment, I found no need to pay for the extra cardstock price as you will be taping the card to the envelopement."
"This invitation turned out exactly like the sample that I designed. I was concerned because this was the first time I ordered invitations on the net. If I had more time I would have placed a picture on the back of the invitation. I had to alter almost everything in print to fit my situation. This was easy and painless. The script I ordered was pretty and easy to follow. The paper quality was durable and the flower design was distinctive. I order it in lilac. Friends have remarked that the invitation was beautiful."
"After communicating with the person in charge of reviewing my personalization, we were able to get the correct formatting, and the perfect color change that my fiancé and I wanted! The pearl white shimmer paper is very sturdy and adds that perfect touch of elegance to this already stunning card. Very pleased!!"
"This card came out exactly like we hoped it would. The paper and color option we chose is beautiful. We made changes to the proof and they fixed it immediately and sent a revised proof. We are completely satisfied with our order!"
"We chose to plan our wedding with a low budget while keeping it very classy. This invitation set was perfect for us and the quality of the paper used was excellent. We chose to use a solid backing on the invite and include directions and registry places on it. It was less expensive than adding a separate card plus our guests didn't have to keep track of multiple cards for information."

Maritime safety: International standards for pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions (port State control)
This Directive aims to harmonise the conditions for enforcement, in respect of shipping using Community ports and sailing in the waters under the jurisdiction of the Member States, of international standards for ship safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions.
Council Directive 95/21/EC of 19 June 1995 concerning the enforcement, in respect of shipping using Community ports and sailing in the waters under the jurisdiction of the Member States, of international standards for ship safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions (port State control) [Official Journal L 157 of 07.07.1995]. [See amending acts].
The purpose of this Directive is to improve maritime safety in Community waters by attempting to ban substandard shipping from them.
This Directive applies to all merchant shipping and crews using a seaport of a Member State or offshore terminal or anchored off such a port or installation.
Member States are obliged to establish and maintain national maritime administrations ("competent authorities") for the inspection of ships in their ports or in the waters under their jurisdiction.
Each Member State is obliged to inspect at least 25 % of the ships flying other countries' flags which enter its ports. Vessels which have already been inspected within the previous six months are exempt.
Enhanced controls must be carried out on:
- oil tankers within five years or less of the date of phasing out;
- bulk carriers older than 12 years of age;
- passenger ships;
- gas and chemical tankers, over ten years old counting from the date of construction shown on the ship's safety certificates.7. An obligation is placed on the Member States to ensure that any deficiencies revealed in the course of the inspection are rectified. Conditions warranting detention of the ship are laid down.
Member States are obliged to ensure that any deficiencies revealed in the course of the inspection are rectified.
In the event of follow-up of inspections and detention, Member States must give notification of movements, measures taken and penalties imposed in the event of refusal to comply with the competent authorities' requests (refusal of access to any port within the Community).
Pilots and port authorities are obliged to report any deficiencies which they detect.
Member States are obliged to ensure that their competent authorities cooperate with their counterparts in other Member States.
Each competent authority is obliged to publish, once every quarter, details of the number of detentions ordered and rules on the information to be provided.
Owners or operators of deficient vessels warranting detention are obliged to pay a fee covering the reinspection costs.
Member States are obliged to supply each year details of the number of surveyors working on their behalf and of the number of ships entering their ports.
A regulatory committee has been set up to assist the Commission.
Directive 98/25/EC provides for an applicable procedure in the absence of ISM certificates. (International Safety Management Code for ship operation and pollution prevention).
Directive 98/25/EC
This Directive aims to update Directive 95/21/EC in order to take account of recent changes made to MARPOL (Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) and SOLAS (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) and the Convention on standards of training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers (STCW 1978).
Directive 98/42/EC
This legislative measure amends Article 5.2 of Directive 95/21/EC concerning the selection of ships for inspection by giving priority to ships referred to in Annex I, part I.
Directive 1999/97/EC
This Directive takes account of amendments to conventions, protocols, codes and resolutions of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and developments within the Paris Memorandum of Understanding. Parallel to this, Member States must take all necessary measures to remove any legal obstacle to the publication of the list of ships inspected, detained or being refused access to any port of the Community. The Members States and the Commission must promote methods for making information available more widely and more promptly.
Directive 2001/106/EC
The objective of the Directive is to make compulsory rather than discretionary the system of inspections of certain potentially dangerous ships, tighten up measures relating to manifestly substandard ships and ensure more effective implementation of Directive 95/21/EC.
Directive 2002/84/EC
This Directive aims to improve the implementation of Community legislation on maritime safety, prevention of pollution from ships and shipboard living and working conditions.

'Barber of Seville': A delightful production
The gala of "The Barber of Seville" had the audience—even first-timers to the opera—delighted.
Rarely performed in the Philippines, the opera buffa (comic opera) was the main attraction. However, it had all the ingredients that made it a pleasure to watch—a superb cast of local and foreign artists; an Italian director who made the opera accessible to an audience sporadically exposed to the art; an Italian conductor who remained true to composer Gioacchino Rossini's intentions; and a cavernous CCP Main Theater made friendly with the modern sets by an Italian team and mood lighting by designer Joaquin José Aranda.
The audience understood the Italian dialogue, thanks to the English subtitles above the stage.
"The Barber of Seville" is about frustrated lovers calculating a way to block an overly protective guardian with the help of a barber.
Mario Cassi as Figaro, the barber, was full-voiced and articulate. His sense of the character was energetic and assertive, human and not caricaturish.
Rachelle Gerodias rendered a spirited portrayal of Rosina that combined humor with warmhearted vulnerability.
Arthur Espiritu as Count Almoviva sang with a bright, tenorish ring and exuded strong stage presence. His distinctive timbre and articulation were technically adept.
Marco Filippo Romano as Don Bartolo sang with glorious clarity and performed with perfect comic timing.
Andrew Fernando was an amusing Basilio with a bearish voice.
Antonio Petris' direction clarified the details of the convoluted plot and the emotions of the characters. The humor was never forced and the recitatives were executed with brio.
Former CCP Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Ruggiero Barbieri flew to Manila to conduct a small but responsive orchestra with a buoyant touch and a pleasing sense of phrase.
This has been a bumper crop year for the operas in the Philippines. However, "The Barber of Seville" was the biggest event because it was an activity that marked the 60 years of Rustan's Department Store; 65 years of Philippine-Italian ties; and 50 years of the Philippine-Italian Endowment Fund.
The real feat here is how Zenaida Tantoco, president of Rustan's Commercial Corporation and Stores Specialists Inc., is proving that the support of corporations and friends can help keep the culture scene alive—and at a high level of quality.
The patrons for this opera compose of the Who's Who: Sen. Edgardo Angara; Ramon Ang of San Miguel; agri-billionaire Joseph Calata; advertising executive Dolores Cheng; Gretchen Cojuangco; publisher Irene Francisco; Ambassador Antonio Lagdameo; former Sen. Jamby Madrigal; Judy Roxas.
The opera ran some three hours long. During intermission, the audience on the orchestra level were given stubs for Starbucks coffee and Gonuts Donuts, while the VIPs in the boxes had wine and pass-around canapés.
Close to midnight, heavy cocktails were served at the Silanganan restaurant. The guests were far from bleary-eyed as they talked about the brilliant production.
For the gala night, the audience was willing to spend P5,000 to watch a well-paced show for the sake of charity.

Armogam Kounder was convicted in 2000 for raping and murdering a minor girl. However, in 2006, he was acquitted after a policeman left a suicide note admitting to have falsely implicated him. Now, the apex court has directed the Bombay high court reopen the case.
The case dates back to 1995, when Kounder (then 29 years old), a rag-picker, was arrested for raping and murdering a 6-year-old girl in Andheri.
His advocate Asim Sarode said that Kounder,a native of Tamil Nadu, did not even follow Hindi, and that he didn't realise he was being picked up for offences as serious as rape and murder.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the sessions court on April 19, 2000, on the basis of his confessions.
Advocate Sarode had, however, alleged that the police mercilessly beat up Kounder to extract a confession from him. Following this, in 2001, police inspector Abdul Kadir, an investigating officer in Kounder's case, committed suicide. He left a suicide note saying that Kounder was not the real culprit.
On the basis of the note, the HC set aside his conviction on September 7, 2006 and released him from Yerwada prison. He then filed a petition in the HC seeking compensation of Rs50 lakh from the state government, which is pending hearing.
Meanwhile, the state government approached the Supreme Court, challenging Kounder's acquittal.
The Supreme Court set aside his acquittal observing: "In our view, the high court should have considered not just the suicide note, but also the entire evidence on record and decided the appeal on merits giving reasons for its judgment."
After his release from prison, Kounder was working at Chaitanya Mental Health Care in Pune. Sarode said that he has now returned to Tamil Nadu. He would have to be brought back to Mumbai to face the retrial.

2 good reasons to go skiing and eat meat: Hitler the vegetarian also was anti-skiing
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at email@example.com.
I knew that Hitler disliked eating meat, but I wasn't aware he also was anti-skiing. "What pleasure can there be in prolonging the horrible winter artificially by staying in the mountains?" he once said to Albert Speer. "If I had my way I'd forbid these sports, with all the accidents people have doing them."
But if National Geographic is right, there is indeed a connection: The first people to ski downhill, it avers, likely were hunters running down deer.

Another sinkhole forms in Cebu
CEBU CITY, Philippines—Another sinkhole, which might have been triggered by a strong earthquake that struck Central and Western Visayas on February, was reported in Dalaguete town, 85 kilometers south of this city.
The sinkhole, located in Sitio Carpo, Barangay Casay, was reported to the police on Thursday by concerned residents after the natural cavity was observed to have expanded to a diameter of 10 meters.
Barangay captain Joseph Belamia said a cattle-raiser initially told him about the sinkhole on February 8, two days after the 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck the provinces of Negros Oriental and Cebu.
Belamia said they could not determine the sinkhole's present depth but claimed it had swallowed around 30 banana plants.
For safety reasons, local authorities have cordoned off the area to keep curious onlookers out as the sinkhole might further increase in size.
The first sinkhole, which was discovered in a farm in Barangay Cambuang, Dumanjug town on Feb. 17, has reached a diameter of 20 meters.
Farm caretaker Walter Pesablong, in an earlier report, said the hole had started out the size of a frying pan and in a matter of hours grew to 20 meters in diameter as the soil moved and cracks formed around it.
The Mines and Geosciences Bureau in Central Visayas (MGB-7) could not yet determine the depth of the Dumanjug sinkhole due to lack of proper equipment.
MBG-7 personnel also checked on the swirling seawater–alarmed residents likened it to boiling water– reportedly seen 50 meters from the shoreline of Barangay Looc.
Looc is 3 kilometers from Cambuang.
Abraham Lucero Jr., MGB-7 senior science research specialist, said they went to check the swirling seawater last Monday but failed to see it because of high tide.
Lucero said the earthquake might have affected the shallow aquifer in the area and resulted in water bubbling out at the offshore area.
He said similar incidents have been occurring in some parts of Cebu, such as Barangay Tubigagmanok in Asturias town and El Pardo in Boljoon town.
Meanwhile, a 20-meter-long crack was detected in a cornfield in Barangay Anao, Ginatilan town, 135.4 kilometers southwest of Cebu City.
But Inspector Christopher Castro, Ginatilan police chief, said Thursday that the crack, located 100 meters from the Anao Elementary School, was "narrow" in width.
Castro said a teacher told them they spotted the crack after the recent earthquake.
The police official said they reported the matter to Ginatilan Mayor Antonio Singco so that an assessment could be made and the safety of the elementary school students ensured.
Al Emil Berador, MGB chief geologist, said his team would check the reported swirling seawater and the crack in Ginatilan before they could make any assessment.

HHH holds meeting
After the big NXT event last night, Triple H held a meeting with the performers. He praised them for their performance on the show, as it went well above expectations. HHH also thanks the wrestlers for not leaking the Samoa Joe debut to the internet wrestling community. Generally, someone backstage is responsible for getting the word out to one of the various websites. This time, however, the company went above and beyond to keep it a secret.

Vince Russo on Sami Zayn
Never one to avoid controversy, Vince Russo has drawn the ire of the internet wrestling community yet again. The source of discontent stems from the fact that he took to social media to say that Sami Zayn, who made his debut on Monday Night Raw this week, was not a television star yet. He stated that while the hardcore fans might know of him, the masses just assumed that he was some jobber that was in the ring with John Cena.

Sami Zayn debuts on Raw
For those of you that watched the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Sami Zayn made his official debut by being the mystery challenger for the United States Heavyweight Championship held by John Cena. While it was a great performance and moment, it has left the internet wrestling community with a lot of questions, the most important of which pertains to his status on the main roster. He might not be making the jump yet.

Awesome Kong turning face
As some of you may have seen on Impact Wrestling, Taryn Terrell did a heel turn and introduced a new stable called the Dollhouse (with Mia Yim and Marti Belle). The trio attacked Awesome Kong to help Taryn retain the belt. That has led many to wonder what Kong would do next. There are rumors floating around that TNA is considering a face turn for her. She would debut a kinder and gentler version of her character.

New TNA Knockouts
In a sign that the company is still looking to upgrade their roster, TNA has announced that they have signed two of the top female performers on the independent wrestling circuit. Mia Yim and Marti Belle have been signed to contracts and will be debuting as the newest Knockouts on the roster very soon. Yim, in particular, caught the attention of the internet wrestling community on social media because she is friends with several of the big names.

WWE Network in India
For the next phase of their expansion plans, WWE is set to debut the Network in several countries. One of the more interesting choices is India, as many industry insiders feel that it is one of the hotter markets for professional wrestling. While much of their population lives in poverty, there is a good amount of wealthy people that may be willing to spend on the service. Great Khali could be brought back solely to promote the online service.

Sting wrestling again
Now that he has made his Wrestlemania debut in a cameo filled match against Triple H, Sting is going to take some time and decide on his future in professional wrestling. He is said to be open to the idea of working more matches for WWE, provided that the story makes sense and the money is right. On the flip side, the company definitely would love to make use of his name value once again, but they are not going to rush his decision.
March 30, 2015
Rockstar Spud annoying
It appears that TNA had a well written plan all along for Rockstar Spud. They purposely made him an annoying character when he first made his debut in the company. The goal was to make fans have strong feelings towards him, even if some of it was negative. In professional wrestling, no heat is the worst heat. The creative department was then deftly able to slowly convert his character into a lovable underdog that could be a serious threat in the ring.

Solomon Crowe saves woman
Earlier this month, Solomon Crowe made headlines with wrestling fans when he made his debut in NXT. Well, he just made headlines with the outside world as well. The developmental wrestler was at a store after training at the WWE Performance Center when he heard a loud noise. Upon seeing that it was a car crash, Crowe and a friend immediately ran to the scene of the accident. They ended up prying the door open to rescue a woman trapped inside.

David Ignatius: Confronting an uncertain future
Israeli leaders know these new friendships, however useful, won't alter the basic threat posed by an Arab awakening that, in most countries, has empowered militant Islamic groups. Within the government, there's a range of views about just how bad the future will be, but nobody uses the congenial phrase "the Arab Spring" that has been common in the West.
Among the optimists, relatively speaking, is said to be Defense Minister Ehud Barak. He thinks Egypt and other neighbors will move toward a version of the "Turkish model" of Islamic democracy, which may be cool toward Israel but will also be pragmatic. Barak thinks Israel can't simply wait for the storm to pass. The process of change is irreversible, and may eventually be benign as the Arab societies mature.
A darker view is taken by some of the officials who know the Arab world best. They think that for at least the next several years, as Morsi and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders try to consolidate power, they may appear cooperative. But at the core of the Brotherhood's ideology is rejection of Israel, and any compromises with Israel will be tactical moves, rather than real peace.
Israel's existence, never easy, has gotten more complicated and unpredictable. "We are still inside this huge historical shift," says one senior official, "and we don't know where it's going to take us."

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Vampires is so over-the-top that Woods's performance seems restrained--except when he's throwing Sheryl Lee across the room or bashing her head against the furniture. Lee plays a prostitute who's bitten by a master vampire. Since Carpenter is nothing if not literal-minded, the vampire attends to Lee's neck for only a second or two before sinking his fangs into her cunt. Poor Sheryl. Having begun her career as a corpse for David Lynch, she's now undead for John Carpenter. She's so mistreated in this film (when she's not being bitten or punched, she's naked and tied to the bedposts) that it's positively uplifting when she becomes a full-fledged vampire. Her first victim is Woods's partner, who's played by Daniel Baldwin. (No, she does not bite his dick.) Baldwin's character feels pretty conflicted about becoming a vampire. But not Lee's. When she struts down the highway, blood dripping from her fangs onto her cleavage, you know she's having the time of her life even though she's undead. And she's earned it. You go, girl!

Joe Eszterhas Net Worth: Joe Eszterhas is a Hungarian-American writer who has a net worth of $18 million. Joe Eszterhas was born November 23, 1944 in Csákánydoroszló, Hungary. Eszterhas was raised as a young child in a refugee camp in Austria. The family eventually moved to New York City and then to poor, immigrant neighborhoods in Cleveland, where Eszterhas spent most of his childhood. His father was a Roman Catholic newspaper editor and author. Until he was 45 years old, Joe Eszterhas was unaware that his father had concealed his collaboration in the Hungarian Nazi government and that he had "organized book burnings and had cranked out the vilest anti-Semitic propaganda imaginable." After this discovery, Joe Eszterhas cut his father out of his life entirely, the two never reconciling before his father's death. Eszterhas is a writer and producer, known for such films as Basic Instinct (1992), Nowhere to Run (1993) and Flashdance (1983). His more recent works include Showgirls, Jade, Telling Lies in America, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn and Children of Glory. In 2011, Mel Gibson commissioned a screenplay from Eszterhas about the Maccabees (also spelled Machabees—the leaders of a Jewish rebel army that took control of Judea, which at the time had been a province of the Seleucid Empire who also founded the Hasmonean dynasty, which ruled from 164 BCE to 63 BCE). The film was to be distributed by Warner Bros. The announcement generated controversy. When asked about their shared Catholic faith (referring to Mel Gibson) Eszterhas said of Gibson, "In my mind, his Catholicism is a figment of his imagination." By April 2012, Warner Bros. had canceled the project; Eszterhas claiming the break was caused by Gibson's violent outbursts and anti-Semitism, Gibson blaming the break on a bad script. Eszterhas later wrote a book called Heaven and Mel about his experiences working with Gibson, published on Kindle.

I won't be going to Disneyland for the 50th because my AP is blocked out. ANd to be honest, I wouldn't go anyway. I stop in at the park maybe twice a month (when there are no block out dates) and the thought of the tens of thousands of people at the park, in the hot weather, sounds like a nightmare to me.
I can understand wanting to be there for the "historic" reason, but is it really worth the hassle? I am the same way about the Rose Parade on New Years Day. As a life long Californian, I feel I should do it at least once. But it doesn't seem worth it to me to spend a freezing night on a sidewalk, when if I want to see the parade I can see it all day on TV (and with a hang over).
I do remember in high school going to the all night party for the 35th birthday. I was cool back then because the park opened at midnight and was a special ticket event, with the general public not being let in until 8 that morning. It was fun to hit the park in the middle of the night (like grad night) in a park that was not crowded. But by the mid afternoon, after being up all night was running our batteries low. We left by 4 because it was so crowded and after being up all night.
For those going to this event, good luck. Better drink lots of coffee. I think you may be in for a grumpy day.

((LA Times)) // The Supreme Court is set to rule on the constitutionality of President Obama's health care reform act in the coming weeks. If the so-called "individual mandate" is struck down, California stands to lose. State officials worry that California could lose out on as much as $15 billion annually to provide medical care for the nearly 20 percent of the population that is uninsured…
((SF Gate)) // A non-native variety of kelp is threatening the San Francisco bay. The brown Japanese seaweed, called Wakame, has earned itself a spot in the list of top 100 invasive species in the world due to its ability to thrive in a variety of different climates and reproduce at an incredible rate. Biologists are working to eliminate it, but lack of funding for their efforts poses a problem…
((SF Gate)) // Yesterday, the San Francisco ethics committee began a first-of-it's-kind investigation into whether the domestic violence case against Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi should cost him his job. Mayor Ed Lee believes that Mirkarimi's misconduct is completely inappropriate for a top law enforcement official in the city.

That Mahendra Singh Dhoni counts big money is common knowledge. But how valuable is the name 'Dhoni'? Pretty much, actually. Believe it or not, but the India skipper raked in a whopping $21 million with his name in 2013.
In fact, he ranks fifth among the world's 'Top 10 Most Valuable Athlete Names'. The list is headed by Swiss tennis ace Roger Federer and American golfing icon Tiger Woods, who made $46 million each in 2013. The name 'Dhoni's is more valuable than Usain Bolt, Kobe Bryant, Li Na, Cristiano Ronaldo and — hold your breath — Lionel Messi.
To quote a report on atpworldtour.com, tournament organisers have to shell out more than $1 million "just to get a starting guarantee from Federer's management".
"Consistency for so many years has benefitted Federer's brand value greatly. In his case, it doesn't even matter if he wins another big tournament again," Hans-Willy Brockes, the head of Europäische Sponsoring Börse (ESB), told Credit Suisse. "A brand's value generally comes from its recognition and the ability to generate sales and earnings based on this recognition. That's why Google and Apple are among the most valuable brands ever, while the brand value of Basler Läckerli cookies is much lower."
Rank Athlete (Country) Sport Value
1. Roger Federer (SUI) Tennis $46 million
Tiger Woods (USA) Golf $46 million
2. LeBron James (USA) Basketball $27 million
3. Phil Mickelson (USA) Golf $25 million
4. Maria Sharapova (RUS) Tennis $23 million
5. MS Dhoni (IND) Cricket $21 million
6. Usain Bolt (JAM) Track & Field $20 million
7. Kobe Bryant (USA) Basketball $19 million
8. Na Li (CHN) Tennis $15 million
9. Cristiano Ronaldo (POR) Football $13 million
10. Lionel Messi (ARG) Football $13 million

Thinking about cruising to the Bahamas? Well, you might want to rethink that decision after hearing about the latest travel warning that's been issued.
Any maritime lawyer can tell you that some of the ports cruise lines call on are not what you'd call the model of safety. We've often discussed how certain destinations in the Caribbean have been wrought with crime and have posed a danger not only for cruise passengers, but for crew members as well. One of these ports is the Bahamas.
For years, the U.S. government has been trying to alert potential travelers as to the dangers of visiting the Bahamas. Crime has been escalating at an alarming rate, causing some cruise lines, like Carnival, to hand out warning letters to its guests when docking in the island nation. Both cruise lines and the U.S. government have also provided travelers with a list of areas in the Bahamas prone to crime so travelers can steer clear of them, and have advised travelers to remain as close to port as possible. But with every warning there seems to be an equal, if not greater ratio of crimes that continue to occur throughout the Bahamas. Despite all the efforts that have been made on the Bahamian government's part, such as increasing police forces in Nassau, nothing seems to work. Crime rates are higher than ever, which leads us to wonder: If the Bahamian government is taking the crime problem as seriously as they should?
