Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Tareq Madanat, Jordan, September 2015
This tour is highly recommended since you will get to know Belgium in a very little time. The guide for the sightseeing tour and Antwerp was very informative and she was so kind and try her best to satisfy everyone. While the guide to Ghent and Bruges was not that good.
Reviewed by: Michael P, Australia, July 2015
Great trip especially to Ghent and Bruges.

Well, Sam Wang is a good friend and colleague, and one of the best cyanotype printers in the world, but it is not correct that pyro negatives do not work with cyanotype.Originally Posted by Shinnya
The issues are these. 1) Cyanotype is a very slow process, certainly the slowest of all of the popular altlernative processes. Typically, exposures take at least twice as long with cyanotype as with vandyke. So even if you print with traditional negatives exposures will be very long. And 2) the stain, especially if there is any over-expousure or if the film has a high B+F from age or heat, will add even more time to the exposure, perhaps doubling it.
So, bottom line is that pryo negatives will make great cyanotype prints, but exposure times could be very long.

Even way down here you can expect that scarlet color in the fall/winter and down here what's nice is that the leaves turn at the same time but it only lasted a week. I had a couple in a shady spot and they have already called it a night. There is apparently some confusion about nyssa sylvatica (tupelo/black gum) vs. nyssa sylvatica var. biflora (swamp tupelo) but I think some of the images for black gum are actually bifloras if you compare them against photos in other official sources.

A Basket of Fruit
1The Lord God showed me a basket of ripe fruit 2and asked, "Amos, what do you see?"
"A basket of ripe fruit," I replied.
Then he said,
"This is the end#8.2 end: In Hebrew "ripe fruit" and "end" sound alike.
for my people Israel.
I won't forgive them again.
3Instead of singing
in the temple,
they will cry and weep.
Dead bodies will be everywhere.
So keep silent!
I, the Lord, have spoken!"
Israel Is Doomed
The Lord said:
4You people crush those in need
and wipe out the poor.
5You say to yourselves,
"How much longer before the end
of the New Moon Festival?
When will the Sabbath#8.5 New Moon Festival … Sabbath: Selling grain at these times was forbidden by the Law of Moses. be over?
Our wheat is ready,
and we want to sell it now.
We can't wait to cheat
and charge high prices
for the grain we sell.
We will use dishonest scales
6and mix dust in the grain.
Those who are needy and poor
don't have any money.
We will make them our slaves
for the price
of a pair of sandals."
7I, the Lord, won't forget
any of this,
though you take great pride
in your ancestor Jacob.#8.7 though … Jacob: Or "though I am the God that Jacob proudly worshiped."
8Your country will tremble,
and you will mourn.
It will be like the Nile River
that rises and overflows,
then sinks back down.
9On that day, I, the Lord God,
will make the sun
go down at noon,
and I will turn daylight
into darkness.
10Your festivals and joyful singing
will turn into sorrow.
You will wear sackcloth#8.10 sackcloth: A rough, dark-colored cloth made from goat or camel hair and used to make grain sacks. It was worn in times of trouble or sorrow.
and shave your heads,
as you would at the death
of your only son.
It will be a horrible day.
11I, the Lord, also promise you
a terrible shortage,
but not of food and water.
You will hunger and thirst
to hear my message.
12You will search everywhere—
from north to south,
from east to west.
You will go all over the earth,
seeking a message
from me, the Lord.
But you won't find one.
13Your beautiful young women
and your young men
will faint from thirst.
14You made promises
to the goddess Ashimah
at Samaria;
you made vows to other gods
at the shrines
of Dan and Beersheba.#8.14 You made … Beersheba: Or "You made promises to the goddess Ashimah at Samaria, and you made vows in the names of other gods at the shrines of Dan and Beersheba."
So now you will fall
and never get up.

South Asia was the foundational case study around which regional security complex theory first developed. But we start our tour du monde with Asia because it is still an exemplar of traditional regional security dynamics found largely in military-political mode. The popularity of 'comprehensive' and 'cooperative' security rhetorics in many Asian states is a significant development, most notably in Southeast Asia where ASEAN constructed a noteworthy third world security regime. But in Asia old-fashioned concerns about power still dominate the security agendas of most of the regional powers, and war remains a distinct, if constrained, possibility. The realist quality of Asian regional security enables us to start our story on familiar ground, easing our way into the complexities of how the wider security agenda affects the regionality of security dynamics overall.
While this simplifies things a bit, the Asian case nonetheless has some striking features that set it apart. Asia contains two great powers (China and Japan) and a third state (India) that is the leading aspirant to elevation from regional to great power standing. It also contains three nuclear weapon states (NWS–China, India, Pakistan) and a possible fourth (North Korea), plus three nuclear threshold states (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan) practising 'recessed deterrence'–the capability to move quickly to NWS status should their local environment become more threatening militarily, or the promise of US support lose its credibility. A co-location of adjacent great and regional powers on such a scale has only one other precedent, Europe, and the most apt comparison is not with today's Europe, embedded in a thick weave of regional institutions, but with the balance-of-power Europe of the nineteenth century. Asia now, like Europe then, contains a range of substantial powers in varying degrees of industrialisation. Japan, like Britain, is an advanced industrial

HOUSTON (April 4, 2013)—Chad Foster, 34, of Cypress, a former youth minister at a Houston-area church, has been sentenced to five years in prison for having sex with a 16-year-old girl.
A judge in Houston sentenced Foster, who earlier pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child and online solicitation of a minor.
Investigators say Foster met the girl in 2011 when he worked at Community of Faith Church.
The teenager told investigators Foster texted her numerous times and also told her not to tell anyone that the pair had a sexual relationship.
Foster later resigned from the church.
Foster agreed to a plea deal last summer.

Historical Fiction
"Admitting that genius which has familiarized itself with all the relics of an ancient period can sometimes, by the force of its sympathetic divination, restore the missing notes in the "music of humanity," and reconstruct the fragments into a whole which will really bring the remote past nearer to us, and interpret it to our duller apprehension,this form of imaginative power must always be among the very rarest, because it demands as much accurate and minute knowledge as creative vigour."This is fiction set in a distinctive historical period other than the one the author lives in, which brushes up against actual historical figures if it doesn't star them outright. Depending on the bent of said author, they may let their biases bleed through via Historical Hero Upgrade or Historical Villain Upgrade. A Historical Beauty Update will make the story more fun without making it much less accurate. Important historical events are at least mentioned in passing if they don't have a strong influence on the plot. Deliberate Values Dissonance is frequent for historical accuracy. Often, the period predates a Trope Breaker (though sometimes the audience doesn't realize that). This may overlap with Alternate History if the history is shown to play out differently and Historical Fantasy if fantastic elements are present. Compare to Period Piece, which uses the past as a backdrop for the drama, while Historical Fiction is fiction in which historical events significantly affect the plot. Historical Detective Fiction is a common subgenre. Usually it includes one or more Historical Domain Characters, and may commonly employ Artistic License when the author feels the story is more important than accuracy.

This is a Four-dimensional treatment since it tracks time, Bogart said. 4D scans are able to track motion over time and could also be used for patients with lung cancer and other highly mobile organs to see how the tumor moves as patients breathe, Bogart explained.
"The plan is, once the research is done, to move to other areas of the body as well," Bogart said.
There are a few physical characteristics that men must possess in order to be given the Calypso treatment, according to Bogart. For one, patients can't have had a hip replacement, since this makes tracking the prostate extremely difficult. Another disqualifier is size--men have to be a certain weight since there's only so much distance that the GPS unit can be tracked through.
"This is one of several very sophisticated advances that allows us to do a much better job of precisely focusing on patient's cancer [ ] and hopefully, resulting in much better outcomes and chance to get rid of the cancer," Bogart said.
The Food and Drug Administration have cleared the Calypso System.

Remember Me
Brock Butler :: 1:00-1:45 PM :: Solar Stage
The largely acoustic sets on the opposite end of the pool deck on sailing days are almost always a treat. These intimate sets are often revelations of under-appreciated talents, and Brock Butler certainly fits this bill. With echoes of Paul Simon and Richard Thompson, Butler has a charming voice with the universal appeal of, say, young Jackson Browne, drenched with feeling but still pop-ready. His grasp of popular music from the past 50 years is staggering, leaping from LCD Soundsystem to The Beatles and making it all make sense. He commanded our attention single-handed, finishing his brief set with spot-on covers of Dawes' "Love Me Foolishly" and Simon's "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes." His knack for reading a crowd and giving them what they need is not to be underestimated, and he further showed off this skill in three unofficial sunrise sets on the deck with a small, smiling audience the next three mornings. As he told me in one conversation, "I feel like it's part of my responsibility to help make special moments for people when I'm on this boat."
Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars :: 1:45-3:00 PM :: Pool Deck
Entering off-stage in a drum line, the All Stars, dressed in colorful prints and exuding a profound joy in making music, made an immediate splash. Once assembled onstage, they hit like thunder, a sound with scraps of African High Life, roots reggae, Motown, dancehall, Nyabinghi and more. Even if one didn't couldn't understand the words the intent and soul of what they do permeated into one's flesh and mind. Their leader remarked, "Music is therapy. Dance and you will get well. Dance and you will be happy. Are you happy?" The boat shook with our collective affirmation and shuffling steps.
Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk :: 3:45-5:15 PM :: Pool Deck
"Dumpstaphunk is here. Can you smell it?" asked Tony Hall (bass, guitar, vocals). One thing Dumpstaphunk doesn't lack is confidence, and they appeared ready to knock heads together from the first notes of this set. While many funk acts allow things to be loose, playing up the jam aspects, Ivan's bunch are tight and edgy, showing more rock 'n' roll soul all the time with Ivan and Tony Hall doing more guitar work. Their songs also strike deeper than most, keepers all that add to the canon rather than simply regurgitating crowd-pleasers. This set kept things grimy and a little nasty, dappled by double bass battles and swerving vocal turns. Oh yeah, boys, we can smell ya!
Nathan Moore :: 8:00-8:45 PM :: Zebra Bar
A small crowd was blessed by Moore's intoxicating songs and sleight-of-hand finesse at this intimate set. Engaging us in acts of soft hypnosis and prying away some of our armor with his humanizing tunes, Moore was his right & true bohemian Buddha self, showing us that the folk singer shtick can be evolved, beautifully, and introducing us to his Virginia partner in crime Bryan Elijah Smith, who accompanied him as a guest and left with his own new fans this year. The short set ended with a rousing audience fueled "I'm Good Company," which highlighted Moore's gift for getting people involved and away from being mere spectators.
God Street Wine :: 1:00-3:00 AM :: Teatro Carlo Felice
Without a doubt, this was one of the finest sets on Jam Cruise 9. After recently reuniting after 11 years apart for a handful of special shows, God Street Wine sounded, if anything, better than in their heyday. Often tagged as a "proto-jam-band," what they really are is a rock band in the broad classic 60s/70s mold but with the instincts and sensibilities of a band that grew up in the 80s/90s.
The tolling bell
Measures time not our time, rung by the unhurried
Ground swell, a time
Older than the time of chronometers, older
Than time counted by anxious worried women
Lying awake, calculating the future,
Trying to unweave, unwind, unravel
And piece together the past and the future.
-T.S. Eliot – The Dry Salvages
For all the hubbub and chatter, there are still plenty of spots to be on one's own on Jam Cruise. Wander away from the stages and you'll find causeways and crannies where one can be alone with the sea, only the wind and waves and your thoughts. For all the crew and staff, there's still a sense of the patients running the asylum, so to speak, which makes for a giddy pleasure when one finds themselves the only person along a long stretch of deck. It's kind of amazing this is possible on such a bumptious, lively excursion but I think this opportunity for elemental quietude is also a key ingredient to Jam Cruise. With the breeze tousling one's hair, the hiss of spray below as the boat cuts way, one hears a silent call to toss their troubles into the dark water below. Like the previous year, this feeling hit the second day of the trip after I'd been away from the gnat-like buzz of emails, texts and calls for a bit. It comes upon me suddenly, jumped by something primal and true that opens me up with a pleasant violence – a force beyond normal comprehension but tangible as any human hand. And in a moment, I feel my spirit ease, the weight slipping away, a freedom felt rather than discussed in abstracts. It's an experience that leaves my psychic baggage a touch lighter when I return home, and I hardly think I'm the only one who experiences this sensation during this voyage.
Continue reading for Day Three of Jam Cruise 9...

I'm currently working on a modified version of Vogue 8766. I'm using the bodice from view E, but adding a gathered skirt because I don't have enough fabric for a circle skirt. I'm working with a light weight crepe and a stretch lace overlay, and planning to further line the bodice with a bemberg rayon. I'm gathering 40 inches of fabric to fit into a 26 inch waist, so I'm worried about bulk at the waist seam where the zipper will be installed.
Does anyone have any tips? 1. Should I install an invisible zipper or a lapped zipper? 2. Should I separate the lace from the crepe, to reduce bulk, and just add the crepe as a skirt lining? (If I do this, I'm worried about the zipper showing through the lace below the waist seam.)
For clarification, this is the look I'm trying to achieve - from Gertie's Blog: Gertie's Red Lace Dress
I know this doesn't answer your question but if there is enough stretch in the lace, I would find a stretch to go under the lace and forget about the zipper. My other suggestion is to go snoop shopping. See what rtw does.
------I finally have a blog. www.detectivehoundstooth.com :)
I don't gather the back seam allowance + another 5/8" on each side. I put an invisible zipper in a cotton sateen dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. A waist stay is a must to control the strain on the zipper.
Another way would be to install the zipper in the bodice only letting the tail hang loose and finishing the skirt with an under/over flap and snaps. I think this is better for silks, chiffons and laces. I have a silk georgette gown that was done this way.
Linda -- Edited on 2/12/12 2:42 PM --
I recently made a stretch lace dress similar to your description. The bodice was lined and the skirt was gathered, almost a hundred inches. I used a waistline stay to help support the weight of the skirt. To do my zipper I did a hand picked center back application. I put little red beads at each pick.
Thank you to everyone's suggestions. I put in a pickstitched zipper and had no problems! I'll definitely add a waist stay, too. I'm happy with my progress so far - just gotta figure out how to line the armscyes smoothly, then I'll post my review.

WOW! is made up of a team of business people who have tremendous depth of industry

WOW! is truly an amazing, entrepreneurial spirited organization that values our
customers and employees and celebrates their delight. So often companies say that
these are the core of their success but rarely can they execute. WOW! truly lives
by these principles day in and day out, and we have found a way for it not only
to survive, but to scale. It is an incredible team of overachievers with the right
value system. We know, with a great sense of pride, that we can deliver the customer
experience that lives up to our name.

MCI Communications.
Brad has a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Northern
Colorado, Monfort College of Business, where he is an active alumnus. He currently
sits on the Board of Directors for the business school.
Relationships at WOW! are very important, both with our customers and our employees. I think the key to building long lasting relationships with others is reciprocity – we are helped because we help others. We try to profit from our mistakes as opposed to merely recover. WOW! is also a high–initiative workplace. Initiative falls into the category of "hard to define but you know it when you see it". There is a "buzz" of energy at WOW! that strives to consistently exceed expectations and continue to build upon our past successes and disappointments while embracing new opportunities.
Mike joined WOW! in March 2013 as Vice President, Customer Care. In this capacity, Mike is responsible for the customer care division.
Mike brings with him over 30 years of leadership experience in various industries including airline, energy, healthcare and telecommunication, ranging from Fortune 100 companies to startups. Mike's career includes senior leadership positions in customer care and operations.

Photos: Cowboys draft grades roundup – how did experts around the nation like Dallas' draft?
Photo: Dave Martin/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News / Grade: C / Comment: They're down here because they didn't get either an offensive tackle or defensive lineman, and didn't get in on the run of top safeties. Travis Frederick could have been had after Round 1, and although tight end Gavin Escobar and wide receiver Terrance Williams have bright futures, it was a case of the Cowboys adding to what they already had. Slot corner B.W. Webb (pictured) may end up helping them most in '13.

What if PlayStation 4 Is Not Announced this Week?
Will you be mad, bro?
The entire internet is abuzz with speculation, rumour-mongering and old fashioned hype that Sony will unveil the mythical PlayStation 4 this week.
But what if they don't?
The first spark to all the hype was Sony announcing the "PlayStation Meeting 2013" would take place on February 20. Many magically jumped to the conclusion that PlayStation 4 was on its way.
What many are glossing over that February 20 marks a milestone for PlayStation Vita; the console hit Western shores one year prior on February 15, 2012. Sony are just as likely to deliver a PlayStation Vita announcement such as a 4G version, or a cartridge-free version.
Vita is also in need of some attractive, big budget game releases this year. In recent months, Sony have been driving home the message that PlayStation 3 games can more or less be played on Vita in some fashion, so it wouldn't be too far a stretch to imagine a raft of PlayStation 3 ports for the console.
Then you have Sony's other SKU's that could benefit with PlayStation integration, such as the recently announced Xperia Z mobile phone. There's no reason why that device couldn't be engineered to connect to our PlayStations in some way.
Moreover, Sony were hellbent on owning the UHD (or 4K for us dinosaurs) format at CES this year. We already know PlayStation 3 is technically capable of outputting images in 4K already thanks to the PlayMemories Studio application. A firmware update might make good on Sony's old promise that "PlayStation 3 is future proof" by adding 4K support to future games, or at least to movies.
Sony announced that a 4K streaming service is in the works for their upcoming range of UHD TV's, but also for "selected 4K media players". A dongle or update to PlayStation 3 could become one of those media players.
So, if PlayStation 4 isn't announced come Thursday, what will it mean for the industry?
Developers should be happy that they can continue developing for a console they've been working with for years without any major learning curve or bump in development costs.
Likewise, consumers might be happy without having to buy a new console right now. PlayStation 3 has never been more popular than it is today. Sony themselves might be happier to wait on PlayStation 4, since falling profits are less of a worry when you can get behind existing popular hardware and sell at higher margins than a brand new device. Launching a new console is really expensive, after all.
Of course, the possibility of new hardware being announced on Thursday (Playstation 4K, maybe?) is still high, but Sony have enough great stuff under their belt at the moment without having to launch a major new product line just yet.
Are you tired of existing consoles? Do you need a PlayStation 4? Will you be disappointed if Sony doesn't announce a new console this week?
Let us know below!

Just want to know if any of you experience bike frame or components damage from using the trainer?
Just want to know if any of you experience bike frame or components damage from using the trainer?
i have never had the damage that people often talk about. i have a steel bike however....
I have enough words to get me into trouble, but not enough to get me out of trouble.
I've been warned about mounting and dismounting your bike when it's fastened in a trainer. Rather than clipping in one side and swinging your leg over (my inclination), climb a-straddle of the bike, then clip in one side, then the other. The point is to avoid twisting the bike against the trainer.
One of the first things I ever read when I started cycling was how damaging this practice can be to the bike. I suppose there are many reasons, but excessive crank and BB stress come quickly to mind.clipping in one side and swinging your leg over
Actually, when looking at this in my mind's eye, when using clipless pedals this seems very difficult, if not downright dangerous. How do you manage to clip in without straddling the bike???
On left side of bike, stand behind crank and clip left foot. Stand on left leg, centering weight over bike. Swing right leg back and over bike, and sit in the saddle. Clip in right foot. Works, but inadviseable.Originally posted by gmason

I am trying to picture the left thigh at right angles to the left calf.
In any case, seems like a great opportunity for damage to some, well, sensitive body parts if not executed to perfection.
... It's the same as mounting from the left w/out the stand. Just that you can't push off w/your right foot first, and you can't lean the bike to the right while swinging your leg over.

5', 140 lbs., and 23 years old, Garrett "G-Money" Holeve has been a dedicated student at ATT since 2010, with a positive demeanor - by all accounts a great man to have in the gym. Given the dozens of top pros that fight out of ATT, his two exhibition fights would not be remarkable, except that Holeve has Down syndrome.
Approximately one in 700 babies born in the US each year has Down syndrome, making it the most common chromosome abnormality in humans. Most children with Down syndrome have mild to moderate impairments in physical growth, and mild to moderate intellectual impairment.
Everyone who steps into the cage has to overcome a lot - fear and doubt, the rigors of training, and more. In Garret's case, a lot more.
"He didn't like being the kid with Down Syndrome, the kid people felt sorry for," says UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar in a March interview. "Through martial arts he found himself. He found a passion and a purpose in his life."
As Garrett says, "fighting changed me." Among the changes was Garrett accepting that he did in fact have Down Syndrome, something he resisted so much that as a child, he didn't want to be known as Garrett, "because Garrett has Down Syndrome."
Garrett now pays it forward, teaching a student in the gym who himself has Down Syndrome.
"Them look up to me as a hero, or as a super man," said Garrett. "Because them need a super hero."
We all need heros, and Garrett is one of them. He had planned his first non-exhibition bout, against David Steffin, 28, who has cerebral palsy.
However, it was shut down by the State of Florida, just minutes before the fight.
WINK News has the story.

Both guys have been training for years, to include sparring. Perfectly healthy young guys get hurt in training, so I'm sure if these two were so fragile it would have been made evident by now. My memory could be off, but I believe I remember seeing that they would be wearing pads in this fight, so it is really more of a hard sparring session than anything.

Not all physicians are aware of the special physical concerns of athletes with Down Syndrome. Not all physicians are knowlegable about the throws and holds invoving the neck used in MMA. I have no firsthand knowledge about whether this young man was medically cleared or, if so, the specialty of the doctor who saw him. I mean no disrespect to the ringside doctor if he was cleared, I'm just stating facts from firsthand knowledge about athletes with special needs. Google atlanto axial instability and Downs or Downs and judo and Special Olympics and I'm pretty sure you'll find confirmation of what I said earlier. For the record, I love mma and BJJ and admire special needs athletes, it's just that some sports are not safe for certain people.

At Microsoft, establishing and sustaining trust with customers is essential, and with government access to data continuing to be a "hot topic," Microsoft's corporate vice president for Trustworthy Computing said Tuesday that one way to address the issue is to have an international convention to discuss privacy and government access to data.
"Microsoft will continue to push for policy and technical progress to restore public trust in technology, supporting increased transparency, sensible limits on data access and appropriate oversight," Scott Charney said in a speech at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco. "We will also push for greater coordination among governments. We believe that these steps are necessary to help restore the trust that is critical to the future growth of global IT systems, and that these steps can be achieved without undermining important public safety and national security concerns."

Catastrophes in The World
Here is a short article that one might find interesting. Try putting things together and you decide.
I might be wrong, but I think that the world is open to suggestion.
The world has seen many recent catastrophes such as earth quakes, floods, droughts, solar storms, extreme snow storms,tsunamis, and massive mudslides, not to mention some volcanic eruptions.
Perhaps the world has seen all these things in the past, but I can't remeber a time when it all seemed to be happening at once.
I have also considered the birds that fell out of the sky for no apparent reason and the masses of dead fish that were discovered.
These are all too closely connected because of the time frame in which all these catastrophes have happened.
We are certainly dealing with something that has never occurred, or at least has never been documented.
The world is in an economic crisis and I feel that too many things are going on at once for any human to grasp.
The world is definitely headed for destruction, rather we are th cause or rather it is from natural disasters that would have occurred anyhow.
Things are happening all over the world. This includes things that most people may not be aware of.
I can't say that I am a believer in the 2012 prophecies, but things seem to be changing throughout the world. Our own government would not tell us if there was a natural disaster about to happen if they knew of its coming. I say this because they know how the worlds people would react. People would lock down the phone lines with overloads of calls. There would be very little communication for millions due to this.
There would also be looting, killing, and who knows what else.
This would put the world out of control, causing world marshal law.
So, could the things in this article be far fetched or does it seem that the world is changing?

Scots play tribute to troops at Pentagon
September 28, 2009
By J.D. Leipold
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Sept. 28, 2009) -- The cadence of drums and sounds of bagpipes filled the air as the British ArmyAca,!a,,cs 20-member Scots Guards Pipes and Drums Corps entered the Pentagon courtyard Sept. 25, to put on a lunchtime show as an expression of admiration by the United Kingdom to America, its closest ally.
Aca,!A"These soldiers have been in the U.S. for the last month, performing the length and breadth of the United States,Aca,!A? announced host Lt. Col. William Swinton of the British Army to the large turnout of workers and families. Aca,!A"They are here in Washington to play to you, our strongest allies and to show profound appreciation for the alliance we have with our American brothers and sisters in arms.Aca,!A?
Made up of eight bagpipers, seven drummers and four sword dancers led by a drum major, the all-male unit has the distinction of being the oldest infantry battalion in the British Army. Swinton also told the crowd that the performers were all front-line soldiers and not professional musicians. They returned to Britain Sunday to begin training for deployment to Helmand Province, Afghanistan in March where they will work alongside U.S. Marines.
Highlights to the performance included the playing of Aca,!A"God Bless AmericaAca,!A? and the Scottish anthem, Aca,!A"Scotland the BraveAca,!A? and a spirited traditional highland sword dance.
Leader of the corps, drum major Sgt. Martin Godsman, said playing the Pentagon was an honor and pleasure, but added the tour has been hectic, playing five cities in Colorado, New Hampshire, New York, and the highland games festival in San Francisco, Calif.

IWAKI, Japan -- A partial meltdown was likely under way at a second nuclear reactor, a top Japanese official said Sunday, as authorities frantically tried to prevent a similar threat from nearby unit following a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.
Some 170,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the area covering a radius of 12 miles (20 kilometers) around the plant in Fukushima near Iwaki. A meltdown refers to a very serious collapse of a power plant's systems and its ability to manage temperatures. A complete meltdown would release uranium and dangerous byproducts into the environment that can pose serious health risks.
Japan dealt with the nuclear threat as it struggled to determine the scope of the twin disasters Friday, when an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, the most powerful in its recorded history, was followed by a tsunami that ravaged its northeastern coast with breathtaking speed and power.
The official count of the dead was 763, but the government said the figure could far exceed 1,000. Media reports said some 10,000 people were missing or unaccounted for.
The quake and tsunami damaged three reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which lost their cooling functions necessary to keep the fuel rods functioning properly. At first the Unit 1 reactor was in trouble with an explosion destroying the walls of the room in which it is placed. Later, Unit 3 also began to experience problems.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said operators released slightly radioactive air from Unit 3 Sunday, while injecting water into it as an effort to reduce pressure and temperature to save the reactor from a possible meltdown.
Still, a partial meltdown in the unit is "highly possible," he told reporters.
"Because it's inside the reactor, we cannot directly check it but we are taking measures on the assumption of the possible partial meltdown," he said.
Edano said radiation levels briefly rose above legal limits, but that it has since declined significantly. Also, fuel rods were exposed briefly, he said, indicating that coolant water didn't cover the rods for some time. That would contribute further to raising the temperature in the reactor vessel.
Meanwhile, the government doubled the number of troops pressed into rescue and recovery operations to about 100,000 from 51,000.
Teams searched for the missing along hundreds of miles (kilometers) of the Japanese coast, and thousands of hungry survivors huddled in darkened emergency centers that were cut off from rescuers and aid. At least a million households had gone without water since the quake struck. Large areas of the countryside were surrounded by water and unreachable. Some 2.5 million households were without electricity.
Powerful aftershocks continued to rock the country, including one Sunday with a magnitude of 6.2 that originated in the sea, about 111 miles (179 kilometers) east of Tokyo. It swayed buildings in the capital, but there were no reports of injuries or damage.
Reuters reports:
The risk of radiation contamination from Japan's damaged nuclear power stations has sparked food bans across the globe and more surprisingly, a buying frenzy from South Korean mothers who fear their favorite Japanese-made diapers may suddenly become unavailable.
Cho Myung-jin, who organizes online group-buying for Japanese diapers, saw her website collapse on Tuesday under the weight of traffic as panicked South Koreans chased brands they believe are better quality than locally-made products.

Reuters reports:
Supply chain disruptions in Japan have forced at least one global automaker to delay the launch of two new models and are forcing other industries to shutter plants and rethink their logistical infrastructure.
Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) said on Wednesday it would delay the launch in Japan of two new additions to the Prius line-up, a wagon and a minivan, from the originally planned end-April due to production disruptions from this month's devastating earthquake.
The world's biggest automaker has suspended production at all of its 12 domestic assembly plants at least through March 26 and has estimated a production loss of 140,000 vehicles until then.
Reuters reports:
The towering waves that splintered thousands of Japanese homes and lives has forced the country to rethink one of its most sacred Buddhist practices: how it treats the dead.
Desperate municipalities are digging mass graves, unthinkable in a nation where the deceased are usually cremated and their ashes placed in stone family tombs near Buddhist temples. Local regulations often prohibit burial of bodies.
Reuters Reports:
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.0 jolted parts of northern Japan near a quake-stricken nuclear power plant Wednesday, national broadcaster NHK said.
AOL spoke with Natalia Manzurova, a "cleaner" after the disaster in Chernobyl who suffered many side effects from radiation. Her advice to the people of japan was to leave quickly. She said:
Every nuclear accident is different and the impact cannot be truly measured for years. The government does not always tell the truth. Many will never return to their homes. Their lives will be divided into two parts: before and after Fukushima. They'll worry about their health and their children's health. The government will probably say there was not that much radiation and that it didn't harm them. And the government will probably not compensate them for all that they've lost. What they lost can't be calculated.

The Japanese tsunami cracked a vault wide open, leaving a perfect chance for an opportunistic thief. The AP reports:
The earthquake and tsunami that pulverized coastal Japan crippled a bank's security mechanisms and left a vault wide open. That allowed someone to walk off with 40 million yen (0,000).
The March 11 tsunami washed over the Shinkin Bank, like much else in Kesennuma, and police said between the wave's power and the ensuing power outages, the vault came open.
HuffPost blogger Simon Saradzhyan writes that despite the nuclear crisis in Japan, Russia presses on with it's nuclear program:
While Russian authorities saw the recent calamities in Japan as a chance to initiate a rapprochement with the country, Moscow's overtures to Tokyo have received a cool reception. However, Japan's nuclear crisis nonetheless represents an opportunity for Russian policy-makers to take a fresh look at the country's nuclear energy policies in order to ensure that both existing and future plants are protected against natural or man-made calamities, even those that may still seem unthinkable.

While radiation continues to leak from the reactor, the source is known, says the International Atomic Energy Agency. Reports Reuters:
"We continue to see radiation coming from the site ... and the question is where exactly is that coming from?" James Lyons, a senior official of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told a news conference.
Washington, D.C.'s Cheery Blossom Festival will seek to encourage aid to Japan this year. Reports the AP:
Organizers of the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington are urging people to donate to the American Red Cross for earthquake relief efforts in Japan ahead of the festival that honors U.S.-Japanese relations.
Festival spokeswoman Danielle Piacente says they are working on plans to recognize the tsunami tragedy during the festival, which runs March 26 to April 10.
Reuters reports:
Japan's crisis will have macroeconomic repercussions beyond the country, the World Trade Organization (WTO) warned Tuesday.
Very small amounts of radiation have reached Iceland. Reuters reports:
Miniscule amounts of radioactive particles believed to have come from Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant have been detected as far away as Iceland, diplomatic sources said on Tuesday.
They stressed the tiny traces of iodine -- measured by a network of international monitoring stations as they spread eastwards from Japan across the Pacific, North America and to the Atlantic -- were far too low to cause any harm to humans.
Japan's human crisis is being compounded by an economic one. Reports Reuters:
The tsunami that hit Japan this month took such a huge toll on people, equipment and fish that supplies of some seafood could be cut off for a year or more, industry workers said on Tuesday.
The magnitude 9.0 quake on March 11 and the 10-meter (30-foot) tsunami it triggered are known to have killed more than 9,000 people and more than 12,000 are still missing.
But the damage to the coastline north of Tokyo has compounded the human tragedy with devastating commercial woes.

Power lines have been reconnected to all six nuclear reactor units. The AP reports:
The operator of Japan's leaking nuclear plant says power lines have been hooked up to all six reactor units, though more work is needed before electricity can run through them.
The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, announced the hookup Tuesday but cautioned that workers must check pumps, motors and other equipment before the electricity is turned on.
Reconnecting the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex to the electrical grid is a significant step in getting control of the overheated reactors and storage pools for spent fuels. But it is likely to be days if not longer before the cooling systems can be powered up, since damaged equipment needs to be replaced and any volatile gas must be vented to avoid an explosion.

Reuters reports:
Japanese authorities have taken a major step in managing a nuclear crisis by connecting all six earthquake-damaged reactors to power supply, but it's too soon to say the crisis has reached a turning point, experts said on Monday.
Power has been connected but not switched on to crank up most coolers and pumps, which may have been badly damaged in the quake and tsunami that on March 11 triggered the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. Only one pump has been activated.
Reuters is reporting that the Fukushima plant had a history of safety concerns that are now under review:
When the massive tsunami smacked into Fukushima Daiichi, the nuclear power plant was stacked high with more uranium than it was originally designed to hold and had repeatedly missed mandatory safety checks over the past decade.
The Fukushima plant that has spun into partial meltdown and spewed out plumes of radiation had become a growing depot for spent fuel in a way the American engineers who designed the reactors 50 years earlier had never envisioned, according to company documents and outside experts.
At the time of the March 11 earthquake, the reactor buildings at Fukushima held the equivalent of almost six years of the highly radioactive uranium fuel rods produced by the plant, according to a presentation by Tokyo Electric Power Co to a conference organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Along with questions about whether Tokyo Electric officials waited too long to pump sea water into the plants and abandon hope of saving them, the utility and regulators are certain to face scrutiny on the fateful decision to store most of the plant's spent fuel rods inside the reactor buildings rather than invest in other potentially safer storage options.
The first confirmed death of an American in Japan has been announced. Teacher Taylor Anderson was killed in the earthquake, officials say. MSNBC reports:
An American family was in mourning Monday after learning that their daughter and sibling, a teacher and lifelong student of Japanese culture, had been found dead in Japan –- the first known American victim of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Taylor Anderson, a 24-year-old from Richmond, Va., had lived in Japan since August 2008. She was last seen after the powerful earthquake struck Japan on March 11, riding her bike away from the school where she taught after helping to get her students home.

Grain cargoes are once again reaching Japan. Reports Reuters:
Grain cargoes are reaching Japanese ports after disruptions at terminals last week due to an earthquake and tsunami that held up shipments, shipping and trade sources said on Monday. Sources said vessels were using other ports that had not been affected to discharge cargoes.
The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami has been raised to 21,000. Kyodo reports:
The total number of people killed or reported missing as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that hit northeastern Japan stood at 21,459 as of 9 p.m. Monday, the National Police Agency said, while growing signs of reconstruction emerged, with access restored to all communities in the disaster-struck coastal prefecture of Iwate.

Food radiation contamination is more serious than was originally thought. Reuters reports:
The World Health Organization said on Monday that radiation in food after an earthquake damaged a Japanese nuclear plant was more serious than previously thought, eclipsing signs of progress in a battle to avert a catastrophic meltdown in its reactors.
Engineers managed to rig power cables to all six reactors at the Fukushima complex, 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, and started a water pump at one of them to reverse the overheating that has triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years.
Some radiation has been found in seawater in Japan. Reports Reuters:
|@ BreakingNews : Japan's nuclear plant operator says traces of radiation found in sea water nearby - Reuters
Miraculous survivor Jin Abe, who was found with his grandmother nine days after the quake, speaks here:
New estimates of the damage put the price tag at 0 billion. Reuters reports:
The Japanese earthquake and tsunami caused a total economic loss of up to 0 billion, about 5 percent of Japan's output, according to an initial estimate from risk modeling agency RMS.
The AP is reporting that smoke rising from two reactors caused workers to flee:
Gray smoke rose from two reactor units Monday, temporarily stalling critical work to reconnect power lines and restore cooling systems to stabilize Japan's radiation-leaking nuclear complex.
Workers are racing to bring the nuclear plant under control, but the process is proceeding in fits and starts, stalled by incidents like the smoke and by the need to work methodically to make sure wiring, pumps and other machinery can be safely switched on.
The AP reports that Yukiya Amano, the United Nations' nuclear chief, says government reponses to nuclear crisis are flawed:
The United Nations' nuclear chief says Japan's nuclear crisis has exposed serious problems in how governments respond to disasters, and how they must improve their responses.
Yukiya Amano says information must be transmitted more quickly by governments and that international experts must exchange information more rapidly.
He also said Monday in remarks to a 35-nation emergency meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency that the role of the agency itself may need to be reviewed.
