In a lengthy, mostly-unpublished opinion filed on August 14, 2014, the First District Court of Appeal affirmed the superior court's judgment denying a writ petition challenging the Parkmerced Development Project. San Francisco Tomorrow, et al. v. City and County of San Francisco, et al. (Parkmerced Investors Properties, LLC, Real Parties in Interest) (1st Dist., Div. 2, 2014) ____ Cal.App.4th ___, 2014 WL3973033. A 50-page portion of the 75-page opinion, which contained the court's detailed analysis and rejection of appellant San Francisco Tomorrow's ("SFT") numerous general plan inconsistency and CEQA claims, was not certified for publication. The court did certify for publication those portions of its decision: (1) analyzing and rejecting SFT's direct challenges to the legal adequacy of City's general plan; (2) holding the trial court did not err in sustaining a demurrer to SFT's procedural due process cause of action challenging the project's development agreement; and (3) holding the trial court did not err in including in the administrative record hearing transcripts of public meetings of the Board's Land Use and Economic Development Committee ("LUEDC") at which the project was considered and discussed.
The Parkmerced Development Project calls for long-term redevelopment and major modifications of Parkmerced, a privately-owned 3,221-unit residential rental complex on 152 acres near Lake Merced in southwestern San Francisco. Originally built in the 1940s to provide affordable middle-income housing, the Parkmerced complex currently includes eleven 13-story towers containing 1,683 rental units and 170 2-story "townhouse" buildings with 1,538 units. The project would, over a 20-30 year period, demolish and replace the townhouse units and add 5,679 new units, some of which would be below-and-at-market rate rentals, and some of which would be for sale. In addition to increasing the residential density, the project would provide new commercial and retail services, transit facilities, parks and open space amenities, and various infrastructure improvements, including renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and photovoltaic cells. Required project approvals included General Plan, Zoning Map, and Planning Code amendments, and a Local Coastal Zone Permit; a negotiated development agreement between the City and real party was also approved, all following certification of a Final EIR.
Key takeaways of the Court of Appeal's decision include:
In sum, the First District's decision well illustrates the deferential standards of review applied to a local agency's interpretation and application of the policies of its general plan and its determinations that a project is consistent with them. It also illustrates the substantial deference given an EIR's conclusions and an agency's CEQA findings. In my view, unpublished portions of the opinion — for example, those addressing (1) deference granted to an agency's interpretation of general plan policies enacted by citizen initiative, and (2) CEQA analysis of underground gas pipeline hazards–were probably deserving of publication, although, as to the latter issue, the court may have been reluctant due to the pendency of the CEQA-in-reverse issue in the California Supreme Court.

Folk Art Rug
It's storming here and my dogs are scared of thunder and lightning.
They all want sit on my lap.
The spring flowers are popping up.
I have been waiting for it to rain so I can put grass seed out.
Don't want to hit by lightning, I am going to wait!!
This is my latest hooked rug, it is a design by Vermont Folk Rug pattern.
I know I sound like a broken record but, I can't believe it's Wednesday!
Have a great day!

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Preview
Frankly, the cave level was terrible - the sort of ultra-directed, barely interactive display that's antithetic to the very things games are supposed to be good at in the first place. No emergence or discovery, no real interaction; just linear progression without the payoff of either comedy or drama.
Well, no decent drama. It wasn't a surprise when the cave-sneaking ended in a place-the-C4-charges-on-the-glowing-spots-and-then-run-like-hell-through-a-corridor sequence.
At the same time as we were bored and disappointed with that rifle-less spelunking though, it was also clear that Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 has made some clear advances on the first game. The stealth may have been forced, but the system itself was reliable enough to stop enemies spotting us through walls, for example. Likewise, the new CryEngine 3-supported graphics were truly impressive.

It was the previous level which acted as a far better showcase, however. The environment may still have been artless and predictable, but romping through a series of enemy outposts on a tropical island was still fun even if you could one-shot enemies with a sniper-shot to the big toe.
Some of the challenges along the way were refreshingly hard too, with health packs and armour only showing up rarely and enemy patrol routes laid out to allow only narrow windows of opportunity. It took us at least four or five attempts to complete the mission, though when we did we found it ended in another run-away-from-imminent-destruction sequence. Maybe it's a motif.
We even tried a few different tactics along the way too - though 'tactics' is perhaps a grandiose term for what usually boils down to 'Do I kill them from the left or right of this narrow ravine?' Only twice were there areas where we felt we could take legitimately different approaches and in both cases the linearity soon resumed afterwards - though the areas themselves were appreciable for allowing moments of tactical expression.

The issue though is that, as a game, Sniper 2 basically
. We may struggle to get excited about Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 and it's lack of ambition, but at the same time we can't really fault it in terms of its design as a product. It's a shooter made in the cookie-cutter mould that shooters are made in these days and it's clear when you're playing it that it's not trying to be anything else.
In fact, if you think things should be judged only by how well they deliver on intent, then Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 might be a perfect game. It doesn't try to be smart or innovative or clever... it doesn't try for huge spectacle or tiny details ...it just tries to hold your attention in the same way as a mindless action film, albeit one without a blockbuster budget.
Lack of ambition shouldn't be taken as a plus point though, clearly - and the reality is that if you're looking for an action game in that mould then there are dozens on the market. So, while we can't really condemn Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 on any tangible or objective grounds for the moment, we'll remain blithely unexcited until we've have chance to sample some more.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 will be released in 2013, when it will be published by Namco Bandai on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Combine sugar, vanilla bean, wine and zests in a medium saucepan. Bring sugar solution to the boil then reduce to a simmer and add the berries. Poach berries for 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool in liquid. While cooling, soak apricots in apricot brandy. Place berries in a food processor along with soaked apricots and peach brandy. Puree until smooth. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold cream into berry puree. Divide the mixture into four 3-inch diameter custard cups. Freeze.
Make the sauce: Combine the apricots, apricot brandy and 1/2 cup of the simple syrup. Place in a blender and puree until smooth. Reserve until needed.
Make the sugar cage: Combine the sugar, water and glucose in a small saucepan. Stir once with a metal spoon. Place over medium heat for 2 minutes then turn to high. Cook sugar to a very light caramel. While sugar is cooking prepare a small bowl of ice water, enough to just cover the bottom of the saucepan. When sugar is at desired color, immediately remove to the ice water, taking great care not to get any water in saucepan. This mixture can be used right away or reserved and reheated to use in the future. Sugar is at desired consistency when a metal tablespoon dipped into the mixture runs off in a thread like the consistency of honey. The sugar should not be too thin. To form a cage, lightly grease with vegetable oil the outside of a 6-inch metal mixing bowl. Stand the mixing bowl upside down on a piece of aluminum paper. Lightly grease the aluminum paper outside the bowl. Dip a spoon into the sugar and flick the sugar back and forth over the bowl in one direction. Repeat this across the bowl in the other direction, creating a lattice of sugar. Allow to cool for 1 minute. To remove the cage from bowl, using the whole of the hand, gently twist the cage free. Repeat with remaining sugar to create a total of 8 cages.
Assemble the dessert: Remove the frozen parfait from the freezer. Run a paring knife around the ramekin to loosen parfait. (If parfait doesn't come out immediately, place the custard cup in warm water for 10 seconds to help loosen.) Place a cage, round side down, in the middle of a serving plate. Unmold parfait in middle of cage and spoon sauce around. Top with another cage to create a dome effect. Place berries around the plate.

There's no doubt Take-Two Interactive is a leading video game publisher; it's also no secret that the last couple years have been hard on the company, with the huge controversy (and costly recall) associated with hidden sexual content in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, a recent shareholder revolt, and a spate of games like Bully and Manhunt 2 whose content has unleashed censors along with howls of protest.
Now, Take-Two Interactive seems to be looking to diversify its gaming offerings, announcing that it is forming a new publishing label, 2K Play, focusing exclusively on casual games. 2K Play's first publishing partnership will be with the Nickelodeon television network, to develop game properties based on kids' shows Dora the Explorer and Go, Diego, Go!
"The 2K Play label targets the growing market of casual gamers interested in accessible, high-quality products," said 2K President Christoph Hartmann, in a statement. "It will be home to games that are fun and engaging for players of varied skill types and ages. Our exciting initiative with Nick Jr. will offer a host of games featuring world-famous brands that appeal to the family-friendly gamer."
2K Play will incorporate Take-Two's existing Global Star Software label, which includes the Cat Daddy Games studio and PC games based on Deal or No Deal.
The company expects to announce details of its game lineup in the coming months; it would be reasonable to expect kids-oriented casual titles to target handheld systems like the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable…or even branch out to mobile phones or portable media players like the Apple iPod.

Review: HTC 8XT for Sprint
The 8XT provides the same tie-ins to Microsoft's XBox entertainment services as do other WP8 devices. The music experience has always been good on Windows Phone devices, and the 8XT is no different. The media player is a solid piece of software that syncs with iTunes, Windows 8, and older Windows desktop systems with ease. The addition of HTC's Beats Audio and the dual speakers is icing on the cake. Music playback sounded great through my favorite headphones and through the 8XT's speakers.
The 8XT also includes Sprint's music app. Stay away. This app is miserable. I found it to be difficult to use, the selection to be poor, and the prices don't compare to competitive services. The native XBox Music store is much better.
AD article continues below...
Video is another story. Windows Phone 8 will not work with iTunes movies, and the XBox Store doesn't offer video content. The 8XT does, however, include Sprint's streaming mobile TV and movie app. This app lets you watch video content, such as primetime televisions shows and movies, streamed over the network. It does not perform well over 3G, and I was unable to test it on 4G thanks to Sprint's limited 4G footprint.
CameraThe 8XT's camera can be launched with a long press of the dedicated camera button, even with the device is asleep. This is, perhaps, its best feature other than its raw speed. The 8XT has the same dedicated ImageChip that HTC has used with its phones for more than a year. The 8XT focuses quickly, shoots quickly, and saves quickly.
There are more settings available in the software for tweaking the behavior of the camera, such as setting the resolution, white balance, etc. You can also apply some effects (B&W or Sepia) before taking pictures. The camera can also take advantage of Lenses, which are third-party apps that perform specific actions with the camera. The main camera app works well.
The 8XT also includes a separate HTC-developed camera app. You can choose to set this app to open instead of the stock app when the camera button is pressed. The HTC camera app mirrors its camera application for Android smartphones. The basic controls (access to the gallery, separate camera and video buttons, and access to effects) are found on the right side and function exactly like HTC's Android camera. The rest of the settings are accessed via tools placed along the left edge of the viewfinder.
The HTC camera app offers far more control over the imaging sensor, and lets users select from nine different scenes (including HDR, panorama, and macro); set the timer; and control aspect ratio, and adjust contrast, saturation, sharpness, exposure, ISO, and white balance.
The HTC camera also has a burst mode and lets you control how many shots are taken in a given burst. Images captured via Burst Mode get their own gallery to help organize the high number of images. It's a simple app that serves best to pick the best of 20 images.
PhotosThe 8XT has an 8-megapixel shooter. Images are 8 megapixels if you shoot full frame 4:3 images. If you want to shoot 16:9 images - which better match HDTVs and PC monitors - images are 6 megapixels. Whichever you choose, pictures are good, but not great. I thought focus and white balance were sharp and accurate, respectively, but exposure was all over the map. Images taken in low light were particularly grainy and lost detail. The 8XT has a flash, but as with most phone cameras, it doesn't light up much beyond about 6 feet.
Bottom line: There are better camera phones out there, but the 8XT's camera suffices.
VideoThe 8XT captures video at a maximum resolution of 1080p HD. Results mirror those of the still camera. Focus and color are spot on, but there's more grain than I wanted to see. You'll be pleased with results taken outside on a bright day, but stuff captured indoors with little light is going to be a hazy mess. Again, the 8XT suffices, but there are better options on Sprint's network.
Picture HubThe Pictures Hub is all about the community experience. It lets you easily upload images to Facebook, SkyDrive (Microsoft's photo upload service), Flickr, or send them along via MMS or email. Microsoft wants users of Windows Phones to enjoy their photo experience.
The native gallery app only offers a few editing tools, which are limited to crop, rotate, and "auto-enhance." All this does is fix exposure, white balance, color, etc. The 8XT also comes with HTC's Photo Enhancer app for those who like to spend time touching up their photos before sharing them. This separate app is a rich photo editor with a vast set of features that include crop, rotate, fix brightness, fix contrast, fix color, etc.
AppsThe 8XT has only a handful of unnecessary apps on board, which are the Sprint-branded music and video apps. Ditch those and stick with Microsoft's apps instead. The 8XT does have a limited amount of memory on board: only about 5.5GB available to the end user. This means you need to manage your apps. Content can be stored on a microSD card.
BluetoothThe 8XT supports Bluetooth 3.0 with the typical set of profiles, such as stereo Bluetooth, object push, and phone book access. The 8XT paired easily with other Bluetooth devices, including mono and stereo headsets, and other phones. I thought phone calls routed through Bluetooth headsets sounded excellent. They were quite loud, too. Music also sounded excellent when sent to Bluetooth headphones.
BrowserInternet Explorer 10 is a solid web browser and is good at displaying web content. I don't think the app itself is as feature-rich as the stock Android and iPhone browsers. There are alternative browsers available in the Windows Phone Store. As much as I like the browser, it did not prove a good match to Sprint's slower 3G network. When used with Wi-Fi, it is excellent. Over EVDO? Not so much. I was unable to test in on Sprint's LTE network thanks to the limited availability of Sprint 4G.
ClockThe 8XT has a nice digital clock on the lock screen, It also displays the day of the week and the date. I wish the clock were bigger — or at least customizable — but it is not. Thanks to the bright display, it's pretty easy to see outdoors.
GPSI had no trouble with the 8XT's GPS radio. It worked well with the Maps apps and always managed to locate me within about a half minute and to within about 25 feet. All WP8 devices uses Nokia's HERE maps, though the actual application on the 8XT is just called "Maps." The data is the same. One of my favorite features is that you can download specific maps so they can be viewed offline. Downloading the maps also makes the GPS and Maps app perform faster because it doesn't need to talk to a server across the network.
Maps on Windows Phone is second to Google Maps, but just barely. It offers an incredible array of tools and functions for managing locations, sharing points of interest, and routing directions. It's all free.
The 8XT also includes TeleNav's Scout application. This free navigation app is pretty good when it comes to searching for nearby stuff, like gas stations and banks. I think the native Maps app is better at navigation, but Scout does a good job when it comes to finding local points of interest.
Kids CornerKids Corner is a feature in WP8 that lets parents cordon off a special area of the phone for their kids. Basically, parents put the phone into a mode that only lets kids access certain apps and features, such as cameras and games. It's meant to prevent kids from wiping their parents' phone or emailing pictures to their entire inbox.
Microsoft AppsSome of the useful tools on board most Windows Phones - the 8XT included - are SkyDrive, Office, and OneNote. SkyDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage service. All WP8 devices have access to 7GB of online storage for free (you can pay for more if you want). It is accessed online via your Outlook/Hotmail account. You can set SkyDrive up to automatically upload your photos for safekeeping, as well as store documents and so on. Office needs no introduction. On the 8XT, you can open/edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents, as well as sync them to your personal (or corporate) computers. OneNote is Microsoft's extensive note-taking and -managing app. It functions similarly to EverNote.

The downward pressure on phone charges, particularly international ones, has been enormous from call-back services and most recently from Internet telephony. But there is a difference between a world where buyers can obtain low charges by resorting to complicated schemes - even a call-back account takes time to set up - and low charges for everyone, but everyone.
How low? Well, the US representative at the talks, Charlene Barshefsky, reckoned that on average international phone charges would fall by 80 per cent. That may be an under-estimate. The actual cost of an international phone call to the phone company is a fraction of a penny; given the vast over-capacity of the fibre-optic cables across the Atlantic the marginal cost is zero. At some stage, now presumably by the turn of the century, this will be reflected in the pricing structure. Voice traffic will be more like data traffic on the Internet, where there is no relation between cost and distance.
It is impossible to envisage the scale of the changes that this will have on the world economy. We can imagine a world of low charges: where it costs no more to call a supplier in Santa Monica than it does to ring one in Salford; or a world where speaking to family in Japan is in effect free. But it is much harder to think through the social and economic consequences of this step change in costs, for what is happening is much more dramatic than any other decline in costs in human history.
The chart shows the falling cost of four communications technologies over the last 80 years. The two mechanical technologies, ocean freight and air-transport, have had enormous economic and social consequences, but these have been spread out over many years. For example, the northern European diet was transformed by the former, but it took the best part of half a century for that to happen. The cheap package holiday business was created by the latter, but that took 15 years to develop.
With telecommunications the fall is much faster, not so much in satellite charges which stuck in the 1980s, though they may now be falling again, but in international phone costs. Note that these charts, from the World Bank, are 18 months old. By now the cost of the transatlantic phone call has fallen by a further order of magnitude. We are getting a much larger change, in a much shorter period of time, than ever before.
So what might the consequences be? Here are five notions.
One: In five years most businesses will have global 0800 numbers. In other words, the cost of a call to a business from anywhere in the world will normally be carried by the business itself. In the US half the calls to businesses are on 0800 basis. Global 0800 numbers have just been introduced in the last month, but while international calls remain expensive it is rather dangerous to publish such a number: a small business does not want to be hit by too many calls from Japan, unless a reasonable proportion have an order close behind.
But the attraction of a business having a single free number, for use from anywhere in the world, is enormous. If costs come down enough, and most companies have such a number, anyone producing easily distributed products can reach a global market much more easily.
Two: Open lines: the idea that a small business, even a household, should keep an open line for its computers, would still seem a luxury outside of the US. But if telecom charges come down enough the normal way for a household to be linked to the rest of the world may well be though a continuous connection. If most people, at least in the developed world, have computers which are continuously connected to networks, it becomes possible to deliver a whole string of services to them for no additional cost.
Three: Fringe countries. There will be none. Any country, anywhere in the world, will be able to communicate with any other at zero marginal cost. It will be able to deliver any screen-based service at zero marginal cost, with the result that we might find financial or entertainment services coming from anywhere in the world. Location of industries which can deliver their output over the wires - software, computer games, audio- visual entertainment, financial services, etc - will therefore migrate to places where there is the best-value human capital available.
With manufacturing, people have to move to the jobs; with screen-based services the jobs can move to the people. But the jobs will only come if the people have the appropriate skills. Despite the frictions in manufacturing - the time it takes to build a plant and train the people to run it - we have in the last 30 years seen a massive migration of manufacturing jobs around the world. Expect now to see a similar, but much more rapid, migration of service industry jobs.
Four: Trading blocs. Expect them to become less important, not more. Present popular wisdom is that the world is gradually moving towards three trading blocs - American, European and East Asian - and that trade will tend to be ordered by negotiation between these. But if any country can communicate with any other for free (or rather as near free as makes no difference) and an increasing proportion of trade is simply shot down the wires, these blocs are irrelevant. As Danny Quah has pointed out, most recently in the February Bank of England Quarterly Bulletin, as countries grow richer an increasing proportion of their trade is "weightless", in areas like information technology. Arguably, edifices like North American free-trade association, Nafta, or even the European Union, are irrelevant in a weightless world.
Five: If very cheap telecommunications level the field between countries, they also level it between companies. If size and location are less important for the former, they will also become less important for the latter. Small business and sole traders will be able to enjoy many of the advantages of larger ones, just as small businesses can at present use the Internet just as effectively as large.
For many people, that will be the biggest liberation of all.

This was a really fun assignment. We were asked to emulate another artist and design a character using their style. This guy is an assassin in the early 1900's. As you can see his normal cover is a saloon pianist. The artist that I attempted to emulate is Maël Gourmelen. I found his stuff on the character design blog and I loved it. His use of the line of action is second to none. He really helped me with clothing wrinkles as well. I also admire is daring use of watercolors in his designs. He leaves alot of his designs in the rough pencil stage to paint up and it gives the character some fun texture. So yeah, like it or not here it is :) Enjoy.

Animals take 2
This post comes to you from the exotic land of Alabama. I traveled without my trusty tablet so I had to resort to the unforgiving media of watercolor. This ifs for the second round of animals in my character design class. The Monkey has been raised by a street gang to do their dirty work. The goat wants to join the circus but the wont except her because she isn't a cool enough animal. The Badger has IBS when he eats meat so he can only eat veggies and he is very upset about it. That's the run down. Enjoy!

Hero 2 and Animals!
Hey all, I have been crazy busy lately...seems to be a trend. Anyway here are the last couple bits of design and drawing I've been doing. The first is a redesign of my stereotypical hero. I tried to steer away from my typical style and emulate a graphic novel called "Lucha Libre" The artist who draws this style is called "Bill". The next couple are some animal designs for my character design class. I had a lot of fun with these. Anyway, all of these were colored with Photoshop. Enjoy.

beautiful. Amazing illustrative style.
Will, your blog is great. Sad, but even via email feed the photos are invisible in UAE. Deep sigh.
Wow!!! The plebeian power radiates from these pictures.

Thank´s guys I´m so happy I could enjoy for a while in Nara I hope you fulfil your expectations which I´m sure you will guys..!!
I´ll take care of London while you are away : )
Tokyo: The city all other cities aspire to be
Trip Start
Aug 09, 2010
Trip End
Feb 01, 2012
Where I stayed
We are slowly catching up with this blog lark.
Slow is not a word you would associate the bullet train that we got to Tokyo though from Hiroshima. I think the speed was at least 350km an hour. Just like Virgin trains! Also like trains back in England, were the people serving us food. Ha ha, I wish. They were super polite. Every time that they entered our carriage with the food cart, they would bow and slowly walk down and then bow at the other end! Even the conductor did it! They came in loads of times and without fail they always bowed. Amazing.
We were so excited to be going to Tokyo. We wanted to experience everything the city had to offer. We got into Tokyo station at about 17:00 on a Saturday afternoon. Tokyo station has to be one of the biggest in the world so it took us a while to find the lockers to store our bags. We eventually found a whole floor dedicated to bag storage. The reason why we were leaving our bags in the station? Well Karen & I decided that it would be a good idea to turn up in one of the worlds biggest cities and not book accommodation for our 1st night. As they say in Blackadder though, we had a cunning plan!
We headed to an area called Rappongi which is a relatively new area that has loads of bars and restaurants. The Japanese are the most stylish dressed people we have ever seen. Each person has their own individual style. As Karen & I did in our backpacker gear! The area was packed to the rafters and it was only 20:00. We went to a great Ramen place to eat. We love the food in Japan! After dinner we went to this bar called Superdeluxe. As we were walking in there were signs on the door saying "Wedding Party". As this place is famous for it's themes we did not take any notice. We went in, ordered a beer and watched the tail end of a great band that was on the stage. It turned out that we had actually crashed a real wedding and that the band were quite famous in Japan! ha ha. So typical of us two.
After the wedding we set in motion our cunning plan and hunted for our accommodation for the night. Our choice? A Cyber Manga Cafe! They are these amazing cafes that are huge, full of Manga books and offer a place to crash for people who have missed the last train home. You get a booth with high-speed internet, playstation, and a big tv. The seating is soft so when you are tired you can lie down and sleep. You also get free tea, coffee, soft drinks and best of all ice-cream! I really took advantage of that last one. (We have done a video clip of the place which we will put on Facebook when we leave China). So our firsts night crash pad was a Manga cafe! How Japanese is that?
After only 5 hours sleep we slowly headed back to Tokyo station to collect our bags and then head to the hostel we booked. We eventually found it with the help of the police and a Canadian who has been living in Tokyo for 17 years.
That day we went to the area of Harijuku, famed for the girls who dress up in outrageous costumes. They meet up on weekends and prance and pose for people. If you look online you will see what we mean. There is a sad side to it all though as most of the girls are bullied at school and this is one of the ways that they cope with it.
Next to where the girls hang out, is a park. We headed into it to chill for a while. Now Japanese parks are like no other I have been in. There are loads of different groups of people doing group activities like chanting, dancing and shouting!!!??? All very surreal.
Just outside the park we came across a group of people dressed up in 50's gear and dancing to 50's music. They were in perfect sync and next to them were a group of blokes dressed like 50's rockers and they were dancing away too! We love the Japanese! We then stumbled on a mini festival which was uber-cool. The area was the same with amazing boutiques and super hip people.
As we were in Tokyo for over a week we will split the blog so it is not like War and Peace!
Only in Japan fact No.1 - Maid cafes. Cafes where the waitress's dress up in skimpy maid outfits and fuss over you.
We did the classic thing of crossing the famous Shibuya crossing where there are 6 zebra crossings all meeting in the middle of the road. As you can imagine it was packed but the Japanese have this amazing ability not to encroach on your space no matter how busy it is. Apart from on the commuter trains that is.
Later on Monday evening we went to Shinjuku. The area of Tokyo I was most excited to see. Just think of the film Blade Runner and that is exactly what Shinjuku is like. Huge skyscrapers, neon lights and people everywhere.
We had dinner in a place affectionately known as "Piss Alley". It is a really narrow alley with minute restaurants serving wonderful food. The booze cost us a fortune though!
Right I am realizing that this blog is still going to be huge so I am going to have to be more concise.
If you ever come to Tokyo you have to go to the Future museum. It is not really known but it is well worth a visit, plus it's free! Basically it has robots, intelligent cameras and products that will be available in the near future. One of the examples are vibrating walking sticks for blind people that have a camera at the end that detects when colours change on the pavement. They are using this system instead of the bumpy system that we use at the moment as the bumpy pavements are not very comfortable to walk on.
Not many people realize that Tokyo is actually a port city as you never really see photos of the bay area. It is another area worth a visit. There are lovely Japanese gardens on one side and on the island in the bay you get great views of the city and ocean.
That night after visiting the bay area there was a Halloween party in our hostel. The Japanese loooooveeeee Halloween and really go out there with their costumes!
The last thing i will mention is the world famous Tsukiji fish market. It's the world's largest and we headed there for a sashimi brunch. Needless to say that it was the freshest and best sashimi we have ever tasted. As I write this I can still taste it in my mouth even after 6 weeks! Yum yum yum!
Well I am sure you have read enough. I will sign off and Karen will write the next entry as it starts on a very special day for her!
Her Birthday!!!
Love you all!

Er, Flash? I'd say websites that are Flash-based or contain fairly large amounts of Flash content are "common"...
Try tracing back random pieces of modern technology to all of their component parts/materials, and all of those's component parts/materials, and so forth, with the components needed for manufacturing/refining along the way, and if any of those are consumable, trace those back.
Little bit off-topic but directly related to this, find the book The Pencil: A History of Design and Circumstance. It covers all the technology and industries that had to spring up in order to make and mass produce a simple pencil. Fascinating read.
I live in New Zealand, similar health system to Canada. I broke my pinky finger a few months ago, late-ish on a Saturday night - busy time for the drunks and so forth attending the emergency department. 45 minutes in and out, x-ray'd, splinted and with follow up appointment booked. A few weeks later I started seeing a hand therapist to make sure all the mobility came back, total of 6 visits.
No private health insurance, total cost to myself: $0
I travel to the states regularly for work (medical devices, so I see it from the inside as well) and carry a travel insurance card with at *all* times. I will not leave the hotel without it. The last thing I want is to fall down some stairs and break a leg, and then go through your healthcare system without insurance. The second to last thing is to go through your healthcare system at all - remember I see it from the inside as well. Not a great reputation for a country to have with it's visitors, really.
Just in case you haven't found it, try http://www.gog.com/
I'm currently reliving my childhood, to the detriment of my adulthood, but ah well, plenty of time to be old later. Also Steam has a large number of smaller indie titles as well as the time-consuming AAA titles, not least of which is the old LucasArts games, with more to come.
Time is an illusion perpetrated by the manufacturers of space.

A 21-year-old Pomona woman emerged largely unscathed from a collision with a slow-moving freight train in Chino, though her car sustained major front-end damage and had to be towed away, city officials say.
Yenie Torres was treated and released at Pomona Valley Hospital following the 8:20 a.m. crash Wednesday, Nov. 28, at a railroad crossing at Monte Vista Avenue.
Torres was driving a 2005 Toyota Corolla south on Monte Vista when she tangled with a locomotive pulling an eastbound train.
âA tow truck had to remove it, but itâs not like her car was run over,â said city spokeswoman Michelle Van Der Linden, who emphasized that the Toyotaâs passenger compartment escaped extensive damage. âThe train was moving approximately 9 mph. Thatâs about the speed they move through this community.
âHitting a train isnât lucky. But if youâre going to do it, this is the way to do itâ¦â

Sucklord vs. Buffmonster
Interview between what i'd have to say are my 2 current faves right now...
mimoZine Profile- "Sucklord vs. Buffmonster" Part 1 from MIMOBOT & mimoZine on Vimeo.
Tattoo Project : Motomichi Nakamura
Motomichi has started an ongoing collaborative project that i'm taking part in next month. Basically the deal is that I choose from a library of his designs to use as a permanent tattoo. From there images are taken of the process and will eventually be documented in some fashion.
The timing is pretty wild as i've been planning to get my first tattoo by the end of the year. So this is no doubt a nice little push to finally get it done.
Edmonton Artist Heath Smith will be doing the honours of applying the work. Appointment officially booked for October 8th!
Iconography of Masks Video
A video from this amazing gig in London is now floating about. Do take the time to check this clip out as this really looked to be an amazing exhibit. Also keep an eye out in there for the mighty HULKFUCK!
Also a final thanks to Jason Atomic and Garry Vanderhorne for the invite to participate. Very much appreciated.

According to a recent survey from the National Venture Capital Association, 50% of the venture capitalists surveyed believe that venture capital investment will increase in Asia.Although it did not going to detail about which regions of Asia would see this potential investment increase, it makes sense with what I'm hearing - Asia is a fertile and growing market for technology and other high-growth companies, especially in the difficult economic times we are facing.Here's the report:2009 Global Venture Capital Survey ArticleCheers,

Justification: This poorly-known species is listed as Data Deficient. It has a very restricted distribution, no information on current population status, potential threats are unclear, and it is not known to be present in any protected areas. |
Range Description: | This little-known species has only been recorded from the island of Réunion (Mauritius) in the Indian Ocean (Fricke 1999). It might also be distributed around the islands of Mauritius and Madagascar although this needs confirmation (Allen 1980). It has been recorded at depths of 60 to 80 m. | ||||

Population: | It is known only from a very few specimens, and is considered to be uncommon (G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). | ||
Current Population Trend: | Unknown | ||
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | The natural history of this species is not well known. It is found on deep outer rocky reefs. The species is only known to occur in depths not safely accessible to conventional scuba divers (G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). It was first collected using gill nets between 60 and 80 m at Réunion (G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). |
Systems: | Marine |
Use and Trade: | This species is not believed to have ever been collected for the commercial aquarium fish trade. |
Major Threat(s): |
There is insufficient information available to determine if there are any major threats to this species. |
Conservation Actions: |
There appear to be no species-specific conservation measures in place (G.R. Allen pers. comm. 2006). There do not appear to be any marine protected areas surrounding Réunion. Further studies are needed into the natural history and possible threats to this little-known species. |

Idris Gawr, King of Meirionydd (c.560-632) (Latin: Idrus; English: Ider) One of the later Kings of Meirionydd, Idris ap Gwyddno, is remembered today by the great mountain of Cadair Idris - "Idris' Chair" - that dominates Meirionydd. Idris the Giant was said to have been so large that he could sit upon this mountain and survey his kingdom, though his real epithet may have been Arw (the Coarse). The story may derive from Idris having retired to a small hermitage on the mountain. His grave, Gwely Idris, is also said to lie up there. He must have re-entered secular life before his death, however, as Idris was killed fighting King Oswald of Northumbria on the Severn in 632. He was succeeded by his son, Sualda. |

One of my resolutions this year is to scale back on purchasing frozen meals like Smart Ones, Healthy Choice, etc. I L-O-V-E the convenience, but I'm growing more concerned about the ingredients included in the dinners - high sodium, lack of fiber, and ingredients that I just can't pronounce. Plus, they can be pretty pricey. So this year I resolve to make more meals at home so that I can save more money and know exactly what I'm putting in my body. I thought I'd share one of the recipes I made over the weekend. This cranberry chicken recipe was E-A-S-Y to make and quite delicious. I divided it into containers along with some brown rice, and it was a cheap and easy meal ready for me to grab and go!
-- Erin :-)
Slow Cooker Cranberry Chicken
Recipe adapted from here
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup frozen chopped onion (can use fresh)
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons flour mixed with 4 tablespoons cold water
Place all ingredients, except flour and water mixture, in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours or high for 4 hours, until chicken is tender. Add flour mixture in the last 15 to 20 minutes and cook until thickened.

Thanks so much for this! I have chicken in the freezer, and a late night of football practice tomorrow. So - heading to the store tonight for cranberries!!! It is always a blessing to have a crockpot dinner waiting at home after a long day. Love you all.

After 10 years of spectacular growth, the US obesity rate has leveled off — with about 1/3 of Americans qualifying as obese.
From USAToday:
The obesity trend appears to be slowing down, but the prevalence remains high and continues to be a critical national health concern," says Cynthia Ogden, an epidemiologist with the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Donna Ryan, president of the Obesity Society, a group of weight-loss researchers and professionals, says she believes it may have plateaued for now, but "to level off at 34% obesity is no great achievement. It's still very, very alarming. And the high rates of childhood obesity are likely to translate into higher rates of extreme obesity when those children reach adulthood."
Between 1960 and 1980, only 15% of Americans were obese.

text: Woman Who Was Married to a Warehouse Now Engaged to a NeighborhoodErin Gloria Ryan7/03/12 4:20pmFiled to: LoveMarriageWeddingsSeattleEngagementshutterstocktweet56EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkA heartbroken woman wearing a wedding dress and clutching a brick stormed a Seattle City Council meeting on Monday to protest the redevelopment of a historical neighborhood. But don't worry; it's not what it looks like. She was wearing a wedding dress because she was about to get married, yes, but not to a human, to the neighborhood being discussed. And the brick wasn't for smashing, it was all that remains of her former spouse, a warehouse that was torn down. See? A perfectly reasonable explanation.AdvertisementBabylonia Aivaz married the warehouse earlier this year in a lovely outdoor ceremony. Tragically, that union ended when her wife (the building) was torn down. But hope springs eternal in the weird world of humans who say they're in love with inanimate objects — the neighborhood of Yessler Terrace was there to pick Aivaz up from her heartbreak, and the two plan to wed on August 5th of this year.But now, City Hall is mulling redeveloping Yessler Terrace, a move Aivaz fears will bring gentrification to the area. And, like thousands of misguided women before her, she decided to try to save something by marrying it.AdvertisementCity officials are shockingly unsympathetic to Aivaz's cause; after barging into the City Council meeting like a deranged romcom bride, she was charged with criminal trespassing.Aivaz is undeterred, though, insisting that her wedding to the neighborhood will go on as planned, and if anyone is confused by her actions, they should reread Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Further, according to KOMO,When asked if she had armed herself with a brick, she explained that the brick was her wife."Oh no, that's my spouse," she said. "I got married to a building earlier this year."Aivez also told police that she didn't need a mental evaluation."This officer says I need a mental evaluation or I need to go to jail becaue he doesn't believe that (brick) is my spouse," she said to the small crowd outside City Hall.All of these things actually happened. Am I on drugs? Do I have a fever? Feel my forehead.Sponsored[KOMO]Image via Juliya Strekoza/ShutterstockReply56 repliesLeave a reply

FX Energy, Inc. reported a successful drill stem test (DST) at the Company's Mieczewo-1K well. Located in Company's Fences concession in central Poland, this exploratory well flowed gas with no water in this first DST.
Vice President of Operations Andy Pierce remarked, "We are encouraged with this initial DST, but keep in mind we've only drilled a few meters into the pay zone so far. We have more drilling, coring and testing to do before we can say for sure whether this is a producible gas deposit. But so far everything looks just like we expected."
At the time of the DST the Mieczewo-1K well had drilled a total of 31.5 feet (9.6 meters) of porous Rotliegend sandstone. The well will be drilled and cored another 164 to 197 feet (50-60 meters), then logged and tested to determine the full extent of the pay zone and other reservoir parameters. The Polish Oil and Gas Company is the operator and owns 51 percent; FX Energy owns 49 percent of the working interest.

Happy New Year! |

Happy New Year
Thought I would give you something to drool over whilst you're nursing your hangover. Made me smile anyway.
*big grin*
I hope your heads aren't too sore. In my house it's business as usual today. Hubby has the decorating bug, so he is crashing and sawing away. I'm sure our neighbours must love us.
The kids of course were up at the crack of dawn as usual, the baby never seemed to go to sleep - think he must be in a growth spurt, cause we're playing boob tennis all night. Yawn! I have yet to see the teenagers. Our sixteen year old managed to get drunk on just a few cans of Cider last night, so never got to see in the New Year. It was quite amusing, as he loved everybody, but I was very glad he didn't go that party he was going to.
I have 1000 words to write, as today is January 1st and 100K in 100 days starts, so I best crack on. Must find myself a widget thingy to chart my progress.
But before I go, I can announce the winner of my latest giveaway from my Author Spotlight with Shannan Albright.
Choice of one of my e-books goes to Gena Robertson. Congratulations Gena. My ever helpful four year old pulled you out of the hat :-) I will be in touch to see which book you'd like.
There will be more Giveaways soon, as my release date for Too Hot To Handle is fast approaching, and I have several Guest authors running Giveaways this month, so watch this space.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
5 comments:
All the best for the new year, Doris! It's business as usual for me too, although I seem to have an abnormal amount of laundry!
I hope your sixteen year old doesn't wake up with too much of a hangover... perhaps it will put him of drinking ;-)
Best of luck for the writing. Oh and my house is still half decorated so if you could send over your husband it would be much appreciated! lol

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) came out in support of Moeen Ali for wearing wristbands reading 'Free Palestine', 'Save Gaza'. An ECB official said that Moeen has not committed any offence.
"The ECB don't believe he has committed any offence," an ECB official was quoted as saying by The Guardian. The ICC's Code of Conduct does not allow the players to display any logos other than their bats and approved commercial backers. They are banned from displaying political, religious and racial activities or causes.
Here are some instances of players who made political statements on the field. Zimbabwe players Andy Flower and Henry Olanga had worn black armbands to send a message for protection of human rights in Zimbabwe. Viv Richards had worn the Rastafarian band.

Serious Education ... plus the most fun you can have in metal finishing.
Removing rust stains on anodized aluminum
We have anodized aluminum soffit panels that were incorrectly stored prior to installation. They have lines of rust staining on them from the storage racks. These soffit panels are at the 2nd floor level and are highly visible. The building owner has been patient for three years whilst attempts have been made to solve the problem with mild cleaners. These have all failed. Are there any products that can be used to remove the rust stains
Clifford A Burycurtainwalls - Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong
Dear Clifford,
Firstly let me tell you about anodized Aluminium. I apologies if you know this already. Anodizing of Aluminium produces a layer of Al2O3 to varying thicknesses depending on requirements. Aluminium will oxidize naturally in air and produce a very thin layer of oxide. This natural layer will stop any more corrosion (not rust), in the natural environment. Anodizing produces a much thicker layer of the oxide, giving a much harder or durable finish for different applications.
During storage it sounds like the Anodized oxide layer has been removed and the natural thin layer has taken its place.
This is why you can see this difference in the finish. Unfortunately I don't think there is much you can do about this apart from strip and re-anodize.
This is my first impression from the information you gave. A close up photo may help me to confirm or discredit my initial thought.

Hi, Please can you tell me if aluminium sheeting will rust if used to make a garden feature and left outdoors.
Thank you

Hi, Joanne. Two things:
Aluminum can't ever "rust" because rust is the red-brown corrosion product of iron, and aluminum has no iron in it; but it can develop white corrosion. Second, everything with the possible exception of gold and precious metals eventually corrodes. But I think aluminum will prove reasonably stable as a garden feature. Good luck.
