By: Susan Hornik Similar Topics: Home Tours Share Summer House: Exterior When he's not acting, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (who you may remember as the hilarious drunken pilot in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) splits his time between his Iceland apartment and his parents' summer house, seen here. Visit Original Photo View "There is a lovely view from the summer house all the way out to sea," Ólafur says. "A lot of Icelanders have 'summer' houses, as they are called. It has to be said that most of them are also used in winter." Visit Original Photo Deck A view from the veranda. Despite its name, Ólafur says his favorite time to visit the summer house is mid-winter. "It is so cozy when you can just stay indoors, reading a book, while the really bad weather and long hours of darkness are outside," he notes. Visit Original Photo Dining Area A casual dining area opens to the home's large wraparound deck. Visit Original Photo Living Room The small but cozy living room features a large window to showcase the home's stunning views. Visit Original Photo Guesthouse A view of the summer home's guesthouse and hot tub. "It's really lovely to use it, especially in winter," Ólafur says. Visit Original Photo Exterior Ólafur's other home is what he calls "the typical Icelandic apartment." Pictured here is the view from the balcony. "On a clear day you can see forever," he says. Visit Original Photo Living Area Red is one of Ólafur's favorite colors for home decor, as seen in this sitting area with a red velvet couch handed down from his girlfriend's grandparents. "This is my girlfriend's favorite piece of furniture," he says, "It took me a while, but I think it is quite lovely now." Visit Original Photo Sculpture Displayed in the living room, this sculpture was created by Ólafur's high school classmate, Halla Gunnarsdottir. "I went to her studio and saw a much bigger version of the sculpture, which I really loved, but was far too big for my apartment," he says. "A couple of months later, she called and said she had made a smaller version of the sculpture and asked if I would like to see it. It was love at first sight!" Visit Original Photo Daughter's Bedroom Ólafur's daughter's bedroom features a wealth of stuffed animals, books and other toys. "I just bought the car at a flea market in Madagascar," he says.

Whenever I turn the air conditioning on in my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, there is a noticeable and pretty loud chirping sound that stays on as long as the air conditioning is on. What could it be and how can I fix it?

This is a series in the making, I have been experimenting with various techniques to capture sun trails for years, a new series will be released around this technique soon, but for now, here is a sneak peek.
Man this is an epic blog post. The scenery is amazing. Awesome work.
Super cool !!!!!!!!!!
great collection author
this wedding is sweet from start to finish. i just love the way you tell a story!
As per your usual standard, rockin the hell out of it
Absolutely love your eye for detail and creativity. Amazing and I want to learn from you 😉
Are you kidding me with these??? Ever shot is amazing!
Super Duper.. cant say much more than that.. whole set.. wowsers.
these are beyond fabulous!!!
Beyond beautiful Sam… just stunning!
You are amazingly creative, I adore your work.
Oh my freaking god, Sam, these are utterly gorgeous! Amaze. Love. Awesome.
epic location, beautifully captured!
Really excellent work Sam!!! Love your DOF perception/use!
Super nice! what a location
Some of the best work I've ever seen. Be proud.
So, I took these couple of pics a while back to put in my advertising photography portfolio. I like to bring an element of quirk to my photography, hmmm well… and to my sense of humour… so these cheeky photos probably speak somewhat of who I am.. yeah thats right… I like to make a habit of dressing in horse masks and setting buildings on fire*
*Samuel changed his last name to Burns as a result of his love of arson**
** may not be entirely accurate.
In the meantime I enjoy a fascination with pointing my camera towards the sky. Here is a shot I captured last week whilst out shooting. Oh, just for the record the other thing I wanted to be as I grew up was a photographer, I found magic in the process, it grabbed my attention and has never let go. Landscape photography has taken me to so many amazing destinations, it's given me the chance to spend time seeing and feeling, and I'm so thankful for that!
Hmm really dig this frame Sam. Such a peaceful thing to go out and shoot, I often forget to just take shots of the sky as it changes. Should change that one day.
My image Amnesia VIII has been selected as the cover for the new book by Italian author Aldo Nove, Tutta La Luce Del Mondo. I could claim that it's a sultry novel exploring the dark recesses of the human spirit, love, lust and destiny, but I would be lying. All I really know is according to the Google machine 'Tutta La Luce Del Mondo' translates to 'All of The Light Of The World'. If nothing else given my fascination with light I find an air of mystery and excitement within that notion.
If they ever release an english version of the book I'll have to read it to find out what it's really about. In the meantime if any of my Italian audience happen to read the book feel free to leave your review, I hope it's a goodie!
If you want to delve into the world of long exposure photography there are a few things to know, read on to find out more!
1. Get your camera out of your hands and onto a tripod, not just any tripod either. Using a cheap flimsy tripod is a recipe for camera shake, the shutter of the camera can be enough to cause a vibration in a flimsy tripod. Although they aren't cheap do yourself a favour and invest once in a sturdy tripod such as those by Manfrotto and Gitzo.
2. ISO, the way to go. So we are about to photograph using low light levels, first things first turn your ISO up, right? WRONG. Digital sensor noise becomes particularly bad during long exposures and the best way to avoid such noise is to shoot with a low ISO. For most circumstances my camera performs best set to 100 ISO so I try to leave it there. Simply lower the shutter speed to obtain a correct exposure, after all, with a good tripod you camera isn't moving anywhere.
3. ND is for me. The neutral density filter can be used to great effect in landscape photography. Sometimes you are shooting on your lowest ISO and smallest aperture yet you still desire a slower shutter speed. This is where the humble ND filter steps in. Available in a variety of strengths I recommend picking up a couple and having a play with slowing your shutter speeds even further.
4. Film is great for long exposure photography as it doesn't build the noise that digital sensors do, if shooting film however you must be aware of a trait known as reciprocity failure. Essentially it is a phenomenon whereby films sensitivity to light changes with exposure time. The easiest option for dealing with this is to find a "reciprocity chart" for the specific film you are using and refer to this when calculating exposure times.
5. Carry a torch! Often when shooting long exposure photos it will be dark or getting dark, I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten a torch and had to fumble around as darkness fell. A torch is so handy to keep in your bag for such occasions.
Good tips Mr Burns! I'd add, if near ocean.. lens cloth & warm socks
You really make it seem so easy along with your presentation but I in finding this matter to be actually one thing which I think I might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I am looking forward in your next put up, I'll attempt to get the hang of it!
Holy crap, that picture is stunning. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to put your tips to good use!
So I decided to post a lighting diagram of a photograph I took a while back for my advertising portfolio. When lighting shiny objects such as cars what you really see is the reflection of the light source in the surface of the object, thus for this image most of the light is coming from behind/above from soft light sources in order to reflect the light towards the camera. The passenger was lit with a softbox from the from front left and the trees with a strobe placed on the ground behind the car.
Sortly after the shoot the talent who was clearly agitated from my constant direction "thats it, work it, work it, a little more, gimme blue steel, no too much too much decided to lob the mcdonalds cola at my face. Narrowly missing me it connected nicely with my trusty assistant who happened to be handling a gererator at the time. RIP fry, if you are reading from up obove take note of your new nickname*

Plus pure Grass-types deserve more coverage moves like Sydian said! For Lilligant and Serperior especially. They gave coverage to previous gens' pure Grass-types, why not now?
I believe the reason why is because it's suppose to be a throwback to the original R/B/Y games where all the starters, except for the Fire starter, lack the move Earthquake (B/W was suppose to be a reboot after all). As for the statement about previous gen pure Grass types given coverage, they mean nothing if they do not have Rock Slide, Nature Power, Natural Gift, Weather Ball, Ancientpower, Focus Blast, or Earth Power to coverage almost all of their weaknesses, which is a necessity to make a good Pokemon.

New forecast for Union County toll project shows $1.15B less revenue
May 31, 2016
(The Charlotte Observer)
A 20-mile highway under construction in Union County was expected to bring in $3.15 billion in tolls over 40 years, according to a 2010 study. A new projection shows the Monroe bypass will generate $2 billion by 2058. One of the reasons for the difference is that local planners now expect fewer people to live in Union County.
2 new interstate names approved for eastern NC
May 27, 2016
(Hendersonville Times-News)
Federal officials approved Interstate 42, a new proposed highway between Interstate 40 and Morehead City, and Interstate 87 along US 64/17 between Raleigh and Virginia. Gov. Pat McCrory says the roads will improve connectivity with Virginia's Hampton Roads area. No timetable has been given for when the roads will be built or how they will be funded.
Bill to slash tuition at 5 state universities advances to Senate
May 26, 2016
(The Fayetteville Observer)
A bill that would reduce tuition to $500 per semester at five public state universities passed two Senate committees on Wednesday and is scheduled for a full Senate vote on Thursday. The bill is designed to cut costs and boost enrollment at Fayetteville State, UNC Pembroke, Winston-Salem State, Elizabeth City State and Western Carolina.
Attorney: McCrory will veto coal-ash bill
May 25, 2016
(The Times-News, Burlington)
On Tuesday, the House Rules Committee approved a bill that would reconstitute a state commission to oversee cleanup of ash ponds across North Carolina. Gov. Pat McCrory threatened to veto the bill if it passes through the General Assembly in its current form. A state Supreme Court ruled in January that a former oversight committee was unconstitutional.
Charlotte City Council won't vote on repealing ordinance
May 24, 2016
(The Charlotte Observer)
Charlotte City Council decided not to vote Monday on repealing its nondiscrimination ordinance that led to state lawmakers passing House Bill 2. Legislative leaders had asked the city to overturn the ordinance, which was essentially nullified by HB2, in exchange for a modified version of the bill. Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Human Rights Campaign called the Charlotte Chamber an "anti-LGBT bully" for encouraging the City Council to repeal the measure; the Chamber said Monday it takes "great offense" at the claim.
When artists boycott HB2, it's not just the fans who suffer
May 23, 2016
When music acts such as Bruce Springsteen and Maroon 5 cancel North Carolina shows over House Bill 2, concert venues such as the Greensboro Coliseum, hotels and nearby restaurants are affected. So are volunteers such as school groups who work arena concessions as fundraisers for their programs.
House approves $22.2B budget, without HB2 amendment
May 20, 2016
(The News & Observer, Raleigh)
N.C. Rep. Darren Jackson tried to add a provision to the House budget that would repeal HB2 and allocate $2 million for marketing efforts to restore the state's reputation, but House Speaker Tim Moore ruled the amendment out of order. Moore said it wasn't relevant to the $22.2 billion budget, which the House approved Thursday by a vote of 103-12.
New bill would tighten restrictions on renewables in NC
May 19, 2016
(The News & Observer, Raleigh)
Renewable-energy advocates say a new bill introduced last week essentially amounts to a ban on green energy and would turn North Carolina into the most hostile state for renewables. The bill would require wind and solar farms to be built at least 1 1/2 miles from a neighboring property line and restrict wind farms to 35 decibels of noise. Republican Sen. Bill Cook of Beaufort County co-sponsored the bill; his district includes Perquimans and Pasquotank counties, where the massive Amazon Wind Farm is under construction.
Report: HB2 could cost NC 53,000 jobs
May 18, 2016
(News & Record, Greensboro)
A new analysis by the liberal-leaning N.C. Justice Center says the state could lose more than 53,000 jobs and $2.4 billion in wages if the federal government shuts off funding to state programs over House Bill 2.
SEANC says Cowell should choose state job or corporate roles
May 17, 2016
(The News & Observer, Raleigh)
The State Employees Association of North Carolina is calling for N.C. Treasurer Janet Cowell to either resign from her state job or from two corporate boards on which she serves. Cowell responded by saying she has no intention of doing either. Cowell, who is not seeking re-election, recently joined the board of directors of Morrisville-based ChannelAdvisor and James River Group Holdings, which has its U.S. headquarters in Raleigh.

Musculoskeletal disorders make up more than one-third of all injuries requiring days away from work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And now efforts to understand and prevent these injuries have taken a step back.
The fiscal year 2012 budget bill, signed into law Dec. 23, contains a provision that forbids OSHA from using any of the funds to develop, promulgate or enforce a proposed rule that would have added an MSD column to the OSHA 300 log.
The rule was never intended to be anything other than a means for OSHA to collect data on what and how MSD injuries were occurring in the workplace, data that OSHA says could be used to develop guidelines and for employers to develop prevention programs.
"This is not a prelude to a broader ergonomic standard," agency administrator David Michaels said two years ago, stressing the column would "improve the nation's occupational injury and illness statistics as well as provide useful information that employers and workers can use to better identify musculoskeletal disorders in their workplace." Given the huge MSD injury problem in this country, this would be a good thing.
There were justifiable concerns concerning the column rule, and OSHA did appear to be making an effort to slow down the rulemaking process and better understand what stakeholders thought. The agency could have been close to solving some of the larger concerns, but, for at least one fiscal year, we won't know.
As one safety and health veteran recently told me, such congressional micromanagement can be "really disturbing."
Some consolation, however: Two other provisions attached to the House's original budget plan didn't make it into law. The provisions would have forbid the promulgation of the proposed Injury and Illness Prevention Program Standard (Michael's biggest priority), and would have forbid enforcement of a directive prohibiting residential construction employers from bypassing fall protection requirements (this directive went into effect in September).
The opinions expressed in "Washington Wire" do not necessarily reflect those of the National Safety Council or affiliated local Chapters.

Dedicated to Women's Health
Centegra Health System is dedicated to the health of women throughout McHenry County. The obstetricians and gynecologists on the medical staff at Centegra specialize in:
- Annual gynecologic exams
- Birth control
- Hysterectomy procedures
- Management of menopause
- Gynecologic disorders
- Complete care during pregnancy, labor and delivery
Annual Exams
We advise that girls between the ages of 13 and 16 make an appointment with a gynecologist to review pubertal changes and screen for gynecologic problems. Most females will have a reason to initiate regular care with a gynecologist by the age of 21. These reasons may include:
- Questions about normal development
- Menstrual issues
- Questions regarding sex or sexually transmitted diseases
- Birth control
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
Centegra Physician Care obstetricians and gynecologists perform laparoscopic hysterectomies to provide women faster recovery times from major surgery. During the procedure, the physician creates three small incisions in the abdomen and uses a small camera to locate the uterus so it can be detached from its blood supply and removed. The fallopian tubes, ovaries, and cervix can also be removed through laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is an alternative for women who cannot receive vaginal hysterectomies because they have scar tissue or because the uterus is too large. Visit the Gynecologic Surgery page to learn more about robotic gynecologic surgery at Centegra.
Birth Control
The obstetricians and gynecologists on the medical staff at Centegra are able to advise you about all forms of birth control and offer you a variety of options, including:
- Cyclic hormones, including pills, patches and rings
- Methods that reduce or eliminate menstrual cycles, including the above, as well as shots, implants under the skin, and IUDs (placed in the uterus)
- Essure permanent birth control (requires no surgery)
- Female sterilization
- Guidance about male sterilization
Gynecologic Disorders
The gynecologists on staff at Centegra welcome questions regarding difficult to discuss issues, such as sexual function, fertility, or incontinence (loss of control of the bladder). They can also manage, monitor, and treat:
- Problematic menstrual bleeding
- Uterine fibroids
- Sexual infections and sexually transmitted diseases
- Abnormal Pap smears
- Pelvic pain or pain in the abdomen
- Fertility issues
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
Menopause technically starts a year after your last menstrual bleeding. Many women get to that time with minimal disruption of their lives. However, a significant number have symptoms that make their lives less enjoyable and may be a sign of other problems. If you are one of these women, you may benefit from consultation with a gynecologist on staff at Centegra who can help you evaluate and manage these symptoms and improve the quality of your life. Problems related to menopause include:
- Heavy or prolonged bleeding
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Moodiness
- Sleep problems

At a glance: 100 mph speeders in Oklahoma
On May 14, 2011, a trooper cited Chad E. Hankins, of Kiefer, for driving his 2011 Camaro SS 154 mph on the turnpike in Creek County, the fastest of any driver in the records reviewed by The Oklahoman. But no court record of his case exists in Creek County.
David Hankins said his son, now 22, was able to get the speeding ticket cleared from his record after he served several months of probation. He said his son and a friend had been tuning the sports car when they took it out for a test drive.
"I'm not trying to justify it," David Hankins said. "He got a strong talking-to and a grounding."
He said his son also sold the Camaro and now drives a four-cylinder pickup.
"He's out of the racing business," Hankins said.
Between 1998 and the beginning of 2010, Brandon R. Foster, 32, of Inola, racked up at least 14 speeding tickets, including one in 2005 for driving 104 mph. But it was in 2010 that his driving seemed to take a turn for the worse.
That January, a trooper cited Foster for driving a Chevy two-door 140 mph on U.S. 412 in Rogers County. He was convicted of reckless driving and fined $100 plus court costs.
A month later, he was ticketed for failure to wear a seat belt. A month after that he again was cited for reckless driving in Rogers County, was convicted and fined $300 plus court costs.
In June 2010, he again was cited for speeding and fined $35 plus court costs. In November, he received another speeding ticket. That case was dismissed by the court.
Foster declined to comment.
Racing, trying to elude trooper at 150 mph
Trevell O. Winrow, 25, of Midwest City, already had been cited three times since June 2007 for speeding, including once for racing, when a trooper sought to pull him over on the Kilpatrick Turnpike near Pennsylvania Avenue in July 2010.
According to police, a chase ensued in which Winrow reached speeds of 150 mph in a 2005 Dodge four-door. It was the second fastest speed included in the state records reviewed by The Oklahoman.
In August 2010, he pleaded not guilty to criminal misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and attempting to elude police. Since then, Oklahoma County Special District Judge Russell D. Hall granted at least nine continuances requested by Winrow's lawyer.
Winrow last was scheduled to appear in court Nov. 21, but his case appears to have gotten lost in the system. There's no indication Winrow appeared, that anyone sought a continuance, that another hearing was scheduled or that a warrant was issued for his arrest. Notified in December of the discrepancy, a clerk in Hall's office said some cases "slip through the cracks."
"This looks like one of them," the clerk said.
Despite the December notification by The Oklahoman, Winrow's case still appeared in limbo last week with no new hearing scheduled. When notified a second time, the judge's staff moved forward with rescheduling the case, District Attorney David Prater said.
"You'll catch these occasionally, most times due to oversight," Prater said. "At some point, we'll find them."
Winrow could not be reached. Meanwhile his speeding travails continued. In October 2011, a trooper ticketed him for speeding on Interstate 35 in Logan County. He was convicted and fined $326 and court costs.
Man, 23, says he likes going fast on motorcycle
In June 2010, Eric W. Bridges, 23, of Miami, OK, was cited for riding a Honda motorcycle 130 mph on Interstate 44 in Ottawa County. He said a trooper wrote him a ticket for speeding, which the district attorney upgraded to reckless driving, a charge Bridges said he later got expunged after a year of unsupervised probation. In the meantime, he was cited again in July 2010, this time in Ottawa County, where a trooper again ticketed him for speeding on a motorcycle. He paid a $50 fine and court costs.
"I like speeding," Bridges said.
Man, 19, is familiar face
in Chickasha courtroom
On Feb. 25, 2012, Robert E. Hankins, 19, of Chickasha, was cited for traveling 126 mph and operating a motorcycle without a valid license in Grady County. He pleaded guilty to both charges and was fined $305 and courts costs.
Just a few weeks later, Hankins was back in court, this time cited for driving while intoxicated by the Chickasha Police Department. In March, he pleaded guilty and was fined $500 and court costs and ordered to perform 26 hours of community service. A judge deferred the sentence.
In May, Hankins again was back in court for speeding. He pleaded guilty and paid a $10 fine and court costs. A week later he was back again for speeding, failure to have insurance and violating license restrictions. He was convicted on all charges and paid $50 in fines plus court costs. Hankins could not be reached.
Tulsan stopped for driving
125 mph in his Jaguar
In July 2010, a trooper ticketed Sidney W. Wefer, 24, of Tulsa, for driving a 2002 Jaguar 125 mph on Interstate 44 in Tulsa. He was convicted and paid a $100 fine plus court costs. In the interim, he was cited again for speeding in Rogers County. He was convicted and fined $35 and court costs.
In October 2010, he was cited again for speeding, convicted and fined $75 plus court costs.
Then, in January 2011, Wefer was cited for speeding and driving on a suspended license. Wefer pleaded guilty to the speeding charge, but Rogers County Special District Judge Terrell Crosson deferred the sentence. The suspended-license charge was reduced to failure to have a driver's license in possession while driving. Wefer pleaded guilty and Crosson again deferred the sentence. Wefer could not be reached.
Muskogee man, 38, accumulates 10 tickets
Justin M. Oldham, 38, of Muskogee, was cited in March 2010 for driving 104 mph in Delaware County and again in October 2010 for driving 106 mph in Wagoner County. He pleaded guilty to both charges and paid $290 in fines plus court costs. Since then, he's had four more speeding tickets, making a total of 10 since 2003. Oldham declined to comment.
Man, 26, racks up 8 tickets since '06, one for 143 mph
Daniel D. Clegg, 26, of Mannford, already had racked up seven speeding tickets since 2006, when he was cited in March 2010 for doing 143 mph on Interstate 244 in Tulsa County. He was convicted and fined $205 plus court costs. In September, he was ticketed again, driving 101 mph in Creek County. He pleaded guilty and paid a $135 fine and court costs. Clegg could not be reached.
El Reno man, 23, does 120 mph trying to elude police
In August 2011, Chad A. Cradduck, 23, of El Reno, was ticketed for doing 120 mph in Sequoyah County. He was charged with speeding and attempting to elude an officer.
Cradduck pleaded guilty to the speeding charge and was fined $205 and court costs. He pleaded not guilty to eluding. Cradduck was fined $100 and court costs, but Sequoyah County Special District Judge Larry Langley deferred the sentence.
Cradduck previously had been cited for speeding and three times for not wearing a seat belt since 2009. He could not be reached.

Home >>> DESTINATIONS LIST >>> Sulawesi
Once known as Celebes, this orchid shaped island of Sulawesi lies south of the Philippines, and north of Java between Kalimantan (Borneo) and the Moluccas. Sulawesi consists of five elongated land masses that seem to stretch out from the centre. This odd contorted formation is due to the collision of ancient continents, say geologists.
Lying directly east of the Wallace Line that separates the continent of Asia from Australia, Sulawesi is separated from Kalimantan (Borneo) by a very deep trench, which comes from the south separating the island of Bali from Lombok, and continues northward all the way to the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Sulawesi is a landscape of dramatic smoking volcanoes, ragged mountains and dramatic gorges, tropical rainforests, deep lakes, green rice terraces and white sandy beaches . Beaches slope down to deep seas with extraordinary coral formations that are home to colourful tropical marine life. The prehistoric coelacanth, once thought to be extinct, was found in the seas off Manado in North Sulawesi, not far from the famed Bunaken dive site.
The large island of Sulawesi is surrounded by clusters of islands where beautiful coral reefs and sea gardens are found , among which at Bunaken, Banggai, the Wakatobi Islands and Selayar. These offer spectacular dive opportunities (see brochure on diving)
Sulawesi has also some of the strangest animal life. This is the habitat of the dwarf buffaloes or the anoas, the babirusa or pig deer, the tailless monkeys or macaques, and the shy, tiny nocturnal tarsier with saucer-like eyes found in the Tangkoko National Park. Trekking through the breathtaking Toraja countryside or visits to the national parks are life time experiences.
South Sulawesi is the home of the Bugis-Makassar seafarers , famous for their ship building crafts that take them as far away as Australia and Madagascar. Sulawesi is also the home of the Toraja highland people who for centuries lived nestled in the central mountains, as well as the home of the fun-loving Minahasa community and the Sangir-Talaud people living south of the Philippines.
Today, Sulawesi comprises five provinces, these are the provinces of South Sulawesi, South-East Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, Gorontalo and North Sulawesi.
The main cities are Makassar, capital of South Sulawesi and Manado, capital of North Sulawesi.
Both Makassar and Manado are international airports that receive wide bodied aircrafts with direct flights from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Located at the centre of the Indonesian archipelago, Makassar is the hub between Indonesia's west and eastern islands
There are frequent domestic flights from Jakarta and Bali to Makassar and Manado. Domestic flights also serve all provincial capitals, or continue to Ambon and Papua. Makassar and Manado have top international star-rated hotels, as well as more moderately priced accommodation. There are also excellent convention facilities available in both cities.
The early history of the island of Sulawesi is predominantly the history of South Sulawesi, since chronicles found until today only tell about the southern part of the island.
These chronicles tell us that in the 15th century the kingdom of Luwu thrived here, its economy dependent on maritime trade with Java in nickel, iron ore and gold. Prior to this, however, archaeologists found evidence that there was a kingdom at Soppeng in the 13th century, through Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai stoneware and porcelain discovered here dating to this era. South Sulawesi then consisted of a number of kingdoms, where both women and men could rule.
In the 15th. century there came an important shift from the maritime trade to wet rice cultivation. In the 17th century, the area was ruled by the kingdom of Gowa who wrested control of the region . The ruler embraced Islam and spread the faith throughout the peninsula. Until today, the larger part of South Sulawesi are Muslims with the Toraja mainly Christians.
The 17th. century also saw the arrival of Europeans to the area: the Spaniards, Portuguese and the Dutch fought for hegemony over the spice trade among the islands, where the port of Makassar was an important maritime hub. In 1667, through the Treaty of Bungaya, the thriving city of Makassar fell to the Dutch East India Company, who took over Fort Rotterdam, but left local power to the kingdom of Bone.
From this time on many Sulawesi aristocrats refused to live under foreign yoke and fled Sulawesi to become rulers in Kutai, East Kalimantan, the Riau Islands, and even in Selangor and Johor in present day Malaysia.
In North Sulawesi, meanwhile, the Spaniards established a small fort at Manado in 1617 and attempted to spread the Catholic faith here. Local chiefs, however, invited the Dutch who succeeded to get the upper hand in North Sulawesi and the Moluccas, establishing a permanent base in Manado. The Dutch spread the Protestant religion here, and until today the majority of inhabitants in North Sulawesi are Protestants, and a smaller number are Catholics.
After Indonesia declared Independence in 1945, the Dutch established the East Indonesia State with capital in Makassar to compete with the Republic of Indonesia. But in 1950 this state was dissolved and East Indonesia pledged to be an inseparable part of the Republic of Indonesia. Rebel groups both in North and South Sulawesi continued to fight the Soekarno government, but were quelled in 1961.
North Sulawesi or Manado food is becoming very popular throughout Indonesia. With freshly caught fish or beef as one of its main menu. Grilled or fried fish is eaten with spicy but piquant tomato and chilli sauce.
Manado cuisine also has a healthy diet of vegetables to go with the meats. Being a mostly Christian region, pork is also served here. Although in order to cater to Muslim clients, pork is normally separated from other meats and fish.
Manado is also famous for its coconut cake, that has large slices of coconut deliciously baked into the cake.
In Makassar, fresh seafood of fish, crabs oysters, served with different sauces is the choice menu. These can be packed to be carried as gifts to families in Jakarta.
Through centuries of international trade, Sulawesi has become very cosmopolitan. Chinese, Arabs, Indians have made Sulawesi their home and are today very much integrated with the local population. Their customs, religions, rites and traditions becoming part of the culture and way of life on Sulawesi.
Main icon of Sulawesi is the Phinisi schooner, which in full sail, majestically plies the Indonesian islands. Until today, these sturdy phinisi boats are still built at Bulukumba, very much following the ancient customs. Phinisi boats are still very important to carry cargo to various remote islands. They can be seen at anchor at the Sunda Kelapa harbor in Jakarta and at the port in Makassar. Phinisis, motorized and fitted with comfortable sleeping quarters are also used as liveaboards for diving around the spectacular waters of the Moluccas, Papua, Sulawesi and Komodo.
Hand-woven silk sarongs, gold and silver jewelry from South Sulawesi, woven cloth from Toraja, and embroidery from North Sulawesi are some of the artistic handicraft made on this island.
In Literature, Sulawesi is known for the Bugis epic poem of Il Galigo, the longest literary work in the world, that is being revived today in grand performances.

Like previous reviews have stated, this TV is perfect for those people who want a solid TV without all the latest technological perks. The picture is vibrant, clear, viewable from a very wide angle and is great with motion that you might see when watching sports or fact-paced movies/shows. The sound from the built in speakers is average, nothing more, but if you want to improve on that then you should probably expect to have some extra money to purchase a sound bar or a surround-sound set. There is no bluetooth or wifi connectivity. There is no smart functionality that will let you surf the Internet or watch Youtube. There is no 3D option. This is not what the TV is about and is therefore perfect for my needs. If you do want these in a TV, there are plenty other LG models to look at but at least with this model I feel like my money has been well spent. Finally, to top it off, the TV itself looks very stylish even when turned off! The close-to-edge screen and the thin-but-stable legs give it a look that's pleasing to the eye. Overall, I am very happy to purchase this product and it's a great package for someone who wants a quality product, without all the extras.

Poor picture quality
I have spent endless hours trying to get an acceptable picture quality through the settings. Would be better with one piece center stand. Needs more HDMI ports.

Absolutely Love This TV
By amort1987
from Medford, OR, USA
Purchased this television set about 5 months ago. Have encountered no problems or issues. The picture is excellent. When we plan on buying a 2nd television set for our home, we are going with a LG
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Excellent Picture Quality
By Guy
from Florissant, MO, USA
If your looking for a TV without all the internet features and other associated options that go along with a smart TV, then this is the one to pick. It has great color, good sound, and although I've only owned it a short time, it appears to be well built. Now, how long will it last? Hard to say as that depends on a number of factors. Ask me in 5 years if I still have this TV and how it's doing.
Great TV. Set up was easy.
By Rick
from Saint Petersburg, FL, USA
We love this set. Great value as we din't want a smart TV and this fits perfectly in the space we placed it in. Perfect size too. We love this set and will probably get another one for the bedroom.
Great led tv
By IngLees
from Fresno, CA, USA
If you want a great tv that full 1080p with fast refresh rate and without the smart features this is the one to buy all I use it for is gaming and movies and so far it runs like a champ.
By ripp

Hard to beat for the money, clear sharp picture, good sound, used theater mode on sound setting, very good value.
Great TV
By Vince
from Ohio
Perfect size for a living room. Watch a lot of sports, and the picture quality is excellent. Bezel around the screen is silver, not the usual black, and is very thin, so it is aesthetically pleasing. Recommend highly.

Awesome Flat Screen
By LeeFlo505
from ABQ, NM
This was my first huge flat screen purchase and I took a chance with the LG. I asked the customer service rep lots of questions and found this brand to be the better choice. I liked the chrome frame feature, easy set up, had lots of inputs and AV add-on's, new foot stand, and still learning to play with all the great features. The 47" was not too big and not too small, it was pretty Momma-bear, LOL. I am so happy with my 1st and maybe not the last LG flat screen.
By Tony
from Detroit, MI, USA
I am super happy with this product. Picture clarity, and the vibrant colors brings out the best in viewing pleasure.

Tanyana is among the highest ranking in her far-future society – a skilled pionner, able to use a mixture of ritual and innate talent to manipulate the particles that hold all matter together. But an accident brings her life crashing down around her ears. She is cast down amongst the lowest of the low, little more than a garbage collector. But who did this to her, and for what sinister purpose? Her quest to find out will take her to parts of the city she never knew existed, and open the door to a world she could never have imagined.

Editorial Reviews
Chosen for the Locus Best First Novel of 2011 list
"Refreshingly original... an accomplished debut." The Guardian
"Impressively combines far-future world-building, conspiracies, and a redemption quest... [Anderton] keeps it interesting with Tanyana's strong, proud narrative voice and the complex culture built up around the pions and debris." Publishers Weekly
"Anderton demonstrates a mastery of storytelling and world building in this series opener... This accomplished debut novel should enjoy a wide readership." Library Journal, Debut of the Month October 2011
"A captivating story set in a brilliantly-conceived world." Trudi Canavan, bestselling author of the Black Magician Trilogy
"This is what modern fantasy looks like. Debris is a strong debut novel from a promising new writer, featuring a tough, professional heroine, a clever magic system and a complex, beautifully realised city. I couldn't put it down." Tansy Rayner Roberts, award winning author of The Creature Court Trilogy, and Siren Beat
"Jo Anderton combines elements of steampunk with her own unique vision to create something striking. Debris is a first novel NOT to be missed." Marianne de Pierres, award winning author of the Parrish Plessis and Sentients of Orion series
"Anderton's debut builds a marvelous world, shakes it to the core with adventure and romance, then wraps the whole thing in one hell of a mystery. I can't wait for the rest!" Ian Tregillis, author of Bitter Seeds
"Anderton has a truly original voice, and Debris rings wildly with this. It's full of magic unimagined by anyone else, and beautifully wrought architecture, familiar yet odd, like a place you visit in a recurring dream. The rise and fall of Tanyana, a gifted, frustrated artist is both painful and transfixing to read." Kaaron Warren, award winning author of Slights
"Debris is a strong, exciting debut that took me by surprise with its unique setting, interesting main character, and powerful "fight your way back to the top" narrative. If you enjoy genre-bending fiction with a dark edge, definitely give Debris a try." www.tor.com
"Ms. Anderton creates a rich and intriguing world with Debris ... weaving science and magic, politics and caste, as well as a unique mythology that is believably real." Carma Spence, NY Journal of Book Reviews
"Jo Anderton takes centre stage with style. An original novel with a fantastic cover art that is unmissable." The Founding Fields
"Debris is a fast read, and very well put together. I was immersed in its world at every stage, and fascinated by its characters ... Jo Anderton has written a novel she deserves to take pride in." Ros Jackson, Warpcore SF
