Showcase movie exhibition puts Royal Armouries in the running for a tourism Oscar - Friday, 18 September 2009
Britain's oldest museum, the Royal Armouries in Leeds, is in the running for a Yorkshire tourism award following the success of its exciting exhibition – Arms and Armour from the Movies: The Wonderful World of Weta.
The exhibition showcased the skill and creative talents of the Weta Workshop, best known for design and effects work on block-busting film projects, such as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, King Kong and The Chronicles of Narnia.
Curated by Richard Taylor of Weta and Bob Woosnam-Savage of the Royal Armouries, this unique show contained many pieces never seen before – including the hero weapons of Gandalf and Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings, and Peter and Edmund's swords and shields, plus the White Witch's dagger, in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
The Royal Armouries has been shortlisted in the Tourism Event of the Year category at the White Rose Awards, organised by the regional tourist board, Welcome to Yorkshire.
These awards celebrate excellence in the tourism industry and finalists are chosen from a wide range of entrants from across Yorkshire. The winners will be announced on October 19 at a glittering awards ceremony at the Royal Armouries, in Leeds.
The Armouries' Bob Woosnam-Savage said: "This was a visually exciting exhibition that showcased many exhibits never seen before and is a great example of the high calibre events organised by the Royal Armouries each year."
Chair of the judges, Barbara Woroncow, said it had been a tough decision. She said: "The short listing for this year's White Rose Awards has been very hard as we are dealing with an incredibly high calibre.
"The finalist list is a fabulous representation of Yorkshire's finest and represents the multifaceted tourism industry which can now be found in the area, from one of the oldest hotels in the UK to modern art in West Yorkshire."
Welcome to Yorkshire chief executive Gary Verity added: "We've been celebrating the best of Yorkshire tourism for 20 years. The awards are also a powerful opportunity to highlight the major part these individuals and organisations play in our economy."
The winner of each category is automatically entered into the national Enjoy England Awards for Excellence 2010.
Tickets for the awards, expected to be attended by around 800 guests, are now on sale from www.whiteroseawards.com or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 0113 322 3508.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Metro a few minutes walk and very quiet.
Strongly recommended.
A couple of blankets would be nice.
Metro a pocos minutos andando y zona muy tranquila.
Totalmente recomendable.
Un par de mantas no estaría mal.
The apartment had many chances but unfortunately it was very dirty and unkempt. They did not let even a little dishwashing detergent nor a broom to sweep. The beds were comfortable. Otherwise all right. No repeat.
El apartamento tenía muchas posibilidades pero por desgracia estaba muy sucio y descuidado. No nos dejaron ni un poco de detergente para lavar los platos ni tampoco una escoba para barrer. Las camas eran cómodas. Por lo demás todo bien. No repetiría.
The apartment is fine for four. The mattresses on the beds sofas should change them, deformed and dirty ... The person who greeted us very friendly but should give better image, dirty clothes, smelly ... and cleaning the apartment is terrible, ceilings also are cleaned, the telaarañas ... not repeat on this site.
El apartamento esta bien para cuatro personas. Los colchones de los sofas camas deberian de cambiarlos, deformados y sucios... La persona que nos atendio muy amable pero deberia de dar mejor imagen, ropa sucia, olia mal... Y la limpieza del apartamento es pesima, los techos tambien se limpian, las telaarañas... No repetire en este sitio.
The apartment is located centrally in a quiet environment. Unfortunately, only 7 instead of 8 booked Sleeps existed. Otherwise everything i.O.
Das Apartment liegt relativ zentral in einer ruhigen umgebung. Leider waren nur 7 statt 8 gebuchten Schlafmöglichkeiten vorhanden. Ansonsten alles i.O.
Actually I loved staying here, very cozy and bright, I repeat sincerely.
La verdad me ha encantado la estancia allí,muy acogedor y luminoso, yo repetiría sinceramente.
Good location, tiny but cozy apartment but badly needed cleaning heavily soiled walls needed paint, malfunctioning heating came very fast at her but still was very little hot air, bedding for the small sofa and the Nordic filthy, also quickly came to change but this should not happen. Mop for cleaning completely black instead ensucia.cortinas by cleaning dirty and broken down.
I do not think repeat.
Buena ubicación ,el apartamento pequeñito pero acogedor pero mucha falta de limpieza, las paredes muy sucias falta de pintura, la calefacción funcionaba mal vinieron muy rápido a mirarla pero aún así daba muy poco aire caliente , la ropa de cama para el sofá pequeña y el nórdico muy sucio , también vinieron rápidamente a cambiarlo pero esto no debe suceder. La fregona para la limpieza completamente negra ,en vez de limpiar ensucia.cortinas sucias por abajo y rotas.
No creo que repita.
The flat is in perfect condition, is very beautiful and we loved the decoration. It has parking, which is great in Madrid to avoid paying blue or parking area. It is a bit far from downtown, but the bus 34 or 35 in half an hour you're there and almost takes less than by car.
The only bad thing was the boiler that costs you to start, but since we were warned about it and how to fix it.
Overall everything perfect. Fully equipped to the smallest detail. We left very happy. Thank You!
El piso está en perfectas condiciones, es muy bonito y nos encantó su decoración. Tiene parking, cosa que va genial en Madrid para ahorrarse pagar zona azul o parkings. Está un poco lejos del centro, pero con el autobús 34 o 35 en media hora estás allí y casi que se tarda menos que en coche.
Lo único malo era la caldera que le cuesta arrancar, pero ya nos advirtieron de eso y de cómo solucionarlo.
En general todo perfecto. Completamente equipada hasta el más mínimo detalle. Salimos muy contentos. Gracias!
The apartment was perfect. Clean and tidy. Friendly, efficient service from Manual and Micaela. Recommended.
The apartment is cozy, not missing anything lee, has parking, wifi, equipped with microwave, fridge, oven, complete crockery. 2 beds and 1 sofa bed, a large terrace, all very clean and new.
The kindness and good treatment of the manager, were always attentive to our requests. Recomendadísimo to spend a few days in Madrid either for business or leisure. It is a quiet neighborhood in Carabanchel. The bad there is not a super close.
El piso es muy acogedor, no hece falta nada, tiene aparcamiento, wifi, cocina equipada con lavadora,microondas,nevera,horno, vajilla completa. 2 camas y 1 sofacama, una terraza amplia, todo muy limpio y nuevo.
La amabilidad y el buen trato del administrador, siempre estuvieron atentos a nuestras peticiones. Recomendadísimo para pasar unos dias en madrid sea por negocios u ocio. Es un barrio tranquilo en Carabanchel. Lo malo que no hay un super cerca.
They late a little bit and they didin't apologize but he gave us very good expanations about apartment. Entrance in building isn't good but apartment is very good. The main problem is smell from other apartments that come into our. There are very good beds. Apartment was clean and has everything what you need for a stay. It is very good located- 10 minutes walk to Plaza Mayor.

text: I have been using a cheapo Harbor Freight Stapler as advised by several members of this forum. I have already put about 1k cheap staples from harbor freight through it. Worked like a charm. I went to shoot 1.5 inch grip tite staples this evening into nuc boxes, and after a while the gun started shooting the nails about 3/4 the way in, and then crumbling the top. That, a few good staples, and then a few miss fires. The first couple hundred shot just fine. Is this the gun or the staples? I have the psi on the compressor set at 100.

What's black and orange and growing for the first time in decades? India's tiger population! On Monday, officials announced the results of the latest tiger count. The census tallied 1,706 tigers in forests across the Asian country—about 300 more than four years ago. "These numbers give us hope for the future of tigers in the world," said Jim Leape, international director of the World Wildlife Fund.
Tiger Trouble
A century ago, about 100,000 tigers roamed India's forests. But by 2002, a count revealed that there were only 3,600 left. The number dropped to 1,411 in 2007. What caused India's tiger population to shrink so dramatically?
More than anything else, experts say, development has taken a toll. People have moved into tiger territory and destroyed much of the animal's habitat. Today, tigers live on a just small fraction of the land they occupied 100 years ago.
Illegal hunting has also contributed to the decline. Poachers can demand high fees for tiger parts, which are a key ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. The parts from one tiger can sell for tens of thousands of dollars.
A Call to Action
India's news is a step in the right direction. But while the number of tigers has increased there in the last four years, the animals' habitat has shrunk. Roads and construction projects have blocked off many tiger corridors—routes used by the big cats to go from one forest to another. "Securing these corridors should be taken up as a priority," says Rajesh Gopal, of the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
Last November, leaders from the 13 countries that are home to wild tigers met in St. Petersburg, Russia, to develop a plan to help the endangered cats. They set a goal to double the world's tiger population by the year 2022. Will we reach that goal? With India's tiger population on the rise and conservationists around the world focused on helping the big cats, it seems it just might happen.

Greetings from Starcastle! Work continues on the new archive release and we hope the final result will be worth the wait. Scott McKenzie added new drums tracks on an unreleased instrumental song "The Dash" which will be included on the new CD featuring amazing work by Gary and Scott McKenzie. George Harp is also adding additional vocal tracks to one of the songs.
Scott McKenzie has also uncovered a VHS tape of one of our first performances in San Francisco which will be released on DVD at the same time as the CD release. All of this material was written by and performed by the California lineup - Strater, Botts, Harp & McKenzie, some of which was reworked for "Song of Times" but will be presented here in the original form.
Ed Unitsky has once again created some incredible artwork for the new CD and we could not be happier with the result. Thanks to everyone.
Starcastle, one of the most respected American
progressive rock bands

Can the W510 utilize all 16gb of ram or is there a bottleneck at the processor?
It looks like the Intel spec sheet for the i7920xm says it only supports 8gb ram max
Is that 8gb max ram per channel (2channel) or 8gb max total?
Processor Memory Specifications
|Max Memory Size
(dependent on memory type)
|Memory Types
|# of Memory Channels
|Max Memory Bandwidth

i think that is the spec for 2 banks, but W510 have 4 banks so that is 2 x 8 gigs for 16 gigs.
I can confirm that 16GB RAM works and works well

Multiple people on this forum have indicated success at 16GB. The 8GB references appear to be old, and usually from Intel literature -- Lenovo supports 16GB on the w510.
I don't doubt that it works with 16gb, I wanted to know if I could get the full benefit of the 16gb ram or if there was a bottleneck at the processor(not sure many people would really know unless they benchmark it). The specs I posted are from September 2009 and are specific to the i7-920XM Processor Extreme Edition processor's capabilities.

Great, so it's 8GB per channel with 2channels making it 16gb...and that also makes sense because it has 21GB Bandwidth for memory.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help with this, I just bought the w510 last week and I have been trying to figure out if it truely supported 16gb and I wasn't sure about what the "Max Memory Size 8GB" in the intel spec sheet was referring to.
Thanks again!

The buzz about any new restaurant often takes a few months to circulate. For Tallulah on Thames, it took just a few days. Part of that has to do with Tallulah joining Newport's Restaurant Week (through March 28, details atgonewportrestaurantweek.com), part of it is the excitement of sister and brother duo Kelly Ann and Keith Maurice returning to their home state, but most of it has to do with the inspired and well-executed menu of chef Jake Rojas (co-owner with the Maurices, whom he'd known when he worked in California).

I am talking about unheated raw honey.
I am talking about unheated raw honey.
Can Bee clear as water
Yes. And Freshly extracted, settled, and bottled honey should be. Over time honey will crystallize, and this can vary from days to years depending on the variety. With gentle heating to 35 - 40 degrees celsius ( the internal temperature of a bee hive) this process can be undone, without damaging any of the health benefits.
I've never seen perfectly clear, but I have seen very light colored.
I'd love to see it though.
Have you or your neighbors been feeding sugar syrup?
Same as Solomon.
Capped or uncapped honey?
Nectar can be clear.
My early season Willow honey is pretty clear.
When you say clear...are you referring to lack of color or lack of particles in suspension?
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
When I have pretty clear honey it is usually in first year fresh drawn comb,or so it seems
I'm with Dan. I think clear honey means no suspendeded particles, not lack of color. However, raw honey can be clear and light in color.
"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
I guess the only one that can answer what is meant is the one that started the post
Our fireweed can be almost water clear.
Cotton Honey in South GA normally comes out of the comb nearly as clear as water. Strain the wax particles out and it's clear X's 2. Also has its own unique taste, but sugars fairly fast.
I WV locust honey is the closest thing to clear honey I have seen. I think the variety of plants has a lot to do with it. Our Poplar honey is very dark and Autumn Olive is light yellow. Another thought, were you feeding sugar water? This would give you a clear honey.
I guess this was missed when first posted, but there are several inaccuracies that need to be pointed out. Comb honey will definitely crystallize. It may crystallize slower than extracted honey, but it will crystallize. Crystallization is more a function of nectar source (relative percentages of sugars). I'd like to see the source of the comment "ANY artificial heating shall remove FDA's "grade A" from the label." If true, that would eliminate almost all commercially extracted honey from being graded A. Here's a quote from the USDA publication: United States Standards
for Grades of Extracted Honey
Section 52.1401 Determining the grade.
(e) "Crystallized honey and partially crystallized honey shall be liquified by heating to approximately 54.4C (130F) and cooled to approximately 20C (68F) before determining the grade of the product."
I could see nothing that says that heated honey could not receive the grade A designation.
Our locust honey is pretty clear color wise and I often get asked what we add/mix with our
honey and proudly say nothing that is the color of our spring honey!
Also fireweed and snowberry can be fairly light in color.

Errr, and tupelo honey and buckwheat honey won't crystalize after extraction, and some honey crystalizes in the comb (heather is famous for this, I have some goldenrod that is crystalized in the comb). It is folly to generalize too much about what characteristics honey has.I have comb honey, which is stored for almost a year - it did not crystallize. Crystallization somehow related to honey extraction. Once honey leave its "natural" place (honeycomb) it could crystallize, which, I believe did not affect its properties.
That is simply not true. I believe that there are some state standards of identity that say that heat cannot be added to grade a raw honey...but adding heat is anything other than cooling....it's nonsense.ANY artificial heating shall remove FDA's "grade A" from the label. But, I guess, one could bring honey in Mohave desert and heat it up "naturally"...

Dispute Over NFPA 730 Will Soon Move to Front Burner Again
In mid-March, the various stakeholders that comprise the National Fire Protection Association Technical Committee on Premises Security will reconvene to continue contentious deliberations over a proposal to issue the latest revision to NFPA 730 as a code rather than a best-practices guide.
By Rodney Bosch · January 31, 2013
QUINCY, Mass — In mid-March, the various stakeholders that comprise the National Fire Protection Association Technical Committee on Premises Security will reconvene to continue contentious deliberations over a proposal to issue the latest revision to NFPA 730 as a code rather than a best-practices guide.
Opponents contend adopting NFPA 730 (Guide for Premises Security) as a code — thereby making it subject to enforcement — would greatly expose installing security contractors, property owners and others to liability.
"It would be like opening Pandora's Box," says Stan Martin, executive director of the Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC), who represents the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) on the technical committee. "This particular guideline covers a lot of specific recommendations. It gets into all kinds of details about reducing security vulnerabilities, details that are not relevant, especially to a lot of the smaller and medium-sized installation companies. When you put that much detail into something it opens up hundreds of doors for an attorney to pick you apart."
The first-draft proposal to designate NFPA 730 as a code includes a sample ordinance, which could very easily be implemented by a municipality, explains Joe Gittens, director of standards for the Security Industry Association (SIA). Last October, SIA urged its member companies to submit objections to the proposal during the NFPA's public comment period, which concluded Nov. 16.
"Security companies, integrators and designers could be held liable for not being up to code, even if that ordinance is put into effect after the installation," Gittens says. "For example, a crime or accident on a protected premise that has a security system not installed to this fire organization code may leave all parties — the installer, service provider, equipment provider and the premise's owner — open to legal responsibility."
Wayne Moore, PE, Hughes Associates Inc., and chair of the technical committee, says in his opinion the security industry may be more concerned about the proposal than the circumstances warrant. He would instead prefer stakeholders specify which minimum requirements they are in disagreement with rather than oppose the entire document.
"They are addressing issues that in some cases are nonexistent at this point and may never exist in the future, but they are not looking at the minimum requirements and saying 'that's too strong of a requirement,'" he says. "Certainly they could have valid comments on a proposed requirement and those are the kind of comments you normally get on a code or standard."
The controversy has roots dating back to the early 1990s when the insurance industry began lobbying NFPA to develop security codes. After several years of deliberation, amid accusations NFPA was overstepping its bounds by developing security standards, in June 2005 the organization voted to approve NFPA 730 as well as the accompanying NFPA 731 (Standard for the Installation of Electronic Premises Security Systems). In a nutshell, 731 provides specifications for installing electronic security systems and devices, and is not opposed by CSAA or the Electronic Security Association (ESA), says Shane Clary, vice president, codes and standards compliance, of Pacheco, Calif.-based Bay Alarm Co.
Discussions to revise NFPA 730 as a code will next be held March 12-14 when the 30-member NFPA Technical Committee on Premises Security assembles in Tampa, Fla. The committee will consider the more than 280 public comments that were submitted by numerous security industry interests, many of which oppose the code adoption. If the proposal makes it through the committee process, the draft could ultimately be debated further and put up for a vote at NFPA's annual meeting in June 2014.
It promises to be a "spirited three-day meeting in Tampa," says Clary, SSI's "Fire Side Chat" columnist, who serves as an alternate technical committee member for CSAA. As an expert witness for life-safety related court cases, Clary says he has observed a few attempts by lawyers to invoke NFPA 730 in support of liability allegations.
"Luckily until now I have been able to diffuse it by saying it's a guide. The word 'should' is used [for recommendations in the document], not the word 'shall.' In those cases the judges agreed and 730 went away. Once you insert the word 'shall' it is not going to go away," he says. "If 730 becomes a code, the litigators are going to have a field day."

Spotted some bees being wrestled off the landing boards on my hives today, somewhat larger and blacker than mine (with gray stripes instead of orange, too). Only one or two, and the girls were effectively running them off, but I put my entrance reducers on anyway -- gonna be cold and wet for a couple days and I'd prefer to head off a robbing frenzy.
I accused my brother of letting his bees steal my honey, since his bees look a great deal like the ones I saw, but I don't really think they are, he's at least three miles away and there is lots of forage at the moment. Could be though.
So we put an entrance reducer on his hive too, after I made a couple. I like closing them down in the winter anyway, and it's likely getting on mouse season here too.

They TROUNCED us in '08 we owe them a beat down.
We had better not be looking ahead to SF... maybe a small benefit of coming off that Philly loss is we need a win badly.

We had better hit on all cylinders this game and I hate to say it but prepare ourselves for a trip to Candlestick.

Maybe it was bad editing: only the title and photo show him to be a father. Oddly enough, his Wikipedia entry also omits any mention of his former marriage and children. It does own up the Skate Canada ban for sexting, although that wasn't mentioned in the article.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by BillLaimbeer, Jan 13, 2010.
I don't buy that. You could second-guess every manager in the league.
Six losses in a row now....I would not blame pitching on those last losses, even though they gave up 19 hits tonight...Looks like the issue is timely hits and the lack of the key HR ....They had six opportunities to end the game from the 8th to the 13th if someone could have reached the seats....instead it was Cruz who did it for the Rangers. Carlos Guillen grounding into the double play in the bottom of the 11th after Damon stopped at third on a previous play was the killer... meanwhile, the Sox go back to winning and the Twins go back to losing...and JL looked liked nervous nellie pacing back and forth in the dugout...as if you all were talking about him
You could, except he consistently makes the wrong calls for some reason. It may be a coincidence, but I don't think so.
How do you know they are the wrong calls? That is the problem with second-guessing. If it didn't work for Leyland's pitcher of choice, there is no guarantee it would have been any better for your pitcher of choice.
There are some obvious things as using struggling rookie Weinhardt twice in the Indians series, keeping Oliver, who is clearly not ready up in the majors
Thank you!
Players have gotta play. Against Cleveland, the manager should get the day off. Let the pitching coach make pitching changes.
The most likely explanation here is that our 1st place position with a break-even run spread was a mathematical fluke and the law of average... is catching up to us. There are only 5 teams in the American league with a worse spread than us. There are 16 teams in baseball with at least as many wins as us. We are average. Average teams make the playoffs in other sports, but not baseball.
Seven losses in a row....this time shut out by the Rangers. 8-0 Are the Tigers in the same league talent wise as the Rangers. Their pitching looks better, their defense is great, and they are defenitely faster than the slow footed tigers. Plus their manager smokes the real stuff while dazed and confused Leyland is just a plain ole cigaret man. Meanwhile the Sox are winning again tonight and can stretch their lead to 3.5 games despite losing three in a row over the weekend???
The Tigers are extremely unpredictable. But I think they have overachieved so far as they have no starting pitching and no fielding.
Somebody on the Detnews site commented that JL was tired and hoping to get fired so that he can just collect a paycheck and relax at home....
Tired of losing maybe. Someone needs to wake up the bats in a hurry!
My concern is that if the Tigers don't win a Series or come close over the next couple years, Cabrera will ask for a trade to a team with a shorter left-field fence and better chance to win it all. I agree with mikhail. This team is unpredictable. No consistency (except for right now as they lose consistently).
With the Tigers being tied for 9th in the league in home runs, (79) you would think shortening the fences would be a no brainer to increase that total....but with them being in the the top five with home record, it is not necessary unless they fall flat and give back that advantage in the next two months. Three of the six games in the current losing streak are at home. I would love to see Cabrera win the triple crown and Boesh win ROY, but if they fail to get in the post season or finish in 3rd place, none of those individual achievements will be anything really to cheer about.
Thanks Coy. Let's see if they can put together a little win streak.
Verlander pitching tomorrow..maybe they can put together a two-gamer and build on that. Valverde looked like he wanted to extend the losing streak with his wildness to start the ninth. Luckily he regained his composure. We talked about Leyman going with the percentages and putting in his closer just because ..but with Coke doing a great job in the 8th, I would have just sent him back out there in the ninth...of course if he had blown it, then JL would have been second guessed with not going with Valverde.
Two in a row....can they build on this and get back on track?? JV and JV took care of business today as both were on track pitching wise. The bats even woke up in the end to grab a victory.
We're in 2nd place and then lose 7 in a row, and now we're in second place, just 3 games back. Wow...what a division...
- Be glad we're not in with Tampa Bay.
Maggs out 6-8 with fractured ankle. Damn him. That's why Sox let him go, always snapping something.

Enviromental fundamentalists.
The scientific Gore-Tex anorak wearing environmentalists, who have a paying job, the raggle-taggle of unemployed drop-outs orange dreadlock attired, socialist Greens with hand-knitted banana skin sandals and tea-cosy hats, the former also wear sandals, but with socks while the latter's feet have a fine coating of grunge and the last group of Envireens, the plain loonies. The environmentalists remind you of your science teacher, while the eco-warrior Greens are all too familiar of a child gone horribly wrong. The loony king is the type that wants government to reduce airport capacity by grounding 90 per cent of all flights now reducing the number of landing slots, cutting down the size and the number of runways. Eventually perhaps closing whole airports.

text: A large part of a series' success is tied to how it develops ideas over time. Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra glosses over the strange tangents of its second iteration and gets back to what made the original so interesting and weird; a big, burly story and a streamlined battle system. Unfortunately, this finale is just as poorly paced as its two predecessors and is virtually inaccessible to anyone unfamiliar with the series. If you've never played a Xenosaga, now is not the time to start.

As I stand on a hilltop overlooking Roebuck Bay, conditions are just right for me to abandon reason and succumb to a little lunacy.
The concept of a golden stairway climbing up to the moon is clearly an absurdity. But, as the great golden orb of the moon rises out of the Indian Ocean, a long pathway of glittering gold is reflected off the broad mudflats and ends almost at my feet.
It's a natural phenomenon that owes its existence to the mammoth 11m tides that first inundate and then expose 1km of seabed along Western Australia's coast of Broome and the Northwest Kimberley.
Only Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy exceeds this tidal variation with its rise of 14m.
The fascinating Staircase to the Moon optical illusion occurs on three nights each month from March to October, and draws thousands of wide-eyed onlookers.
I drive to the Broome town wharf for a different vantage point but find the car park bulging with 4WD vehicles and camera flashes lighting up the scene in direct competition with the moon.
It's an appropriate first introduction to the little pearler of the town called Broome. I thought that one of the remotest towns in the world, 2237km from Perth and closer to Singapore than Sydney, would probably be fairly dull and predictable. There are only 16,000 residents, but I soon learn just how motivated they are when it comes to promoting their town. In the peak tourist season the population swells to 50,000 and it seems that very few visitors run the gauntlet of pearl shops without flashing their credit card and securing a gleaming, marble-sized pendant or a string of the finest cultured white pearls on the planet.
After an hour of chasing moonbeams I'm happy to head back to my hotel, the Mercure Broome. It's a sprawling resort with two pools within tropical gardens, positioned between the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the contrasting red spinifex and acacia desert of the peninsula.
On first meeting the hotel's general manager, he surprises me with the words: "You should be proud to be a Kiwi," a welcome departure from the usual sheep jokes.
He tells me he saw the televised commemorative service at Burnham Camp for the three soldiers killed in Afghanistan. "The fallen soldiers were farewelled in the most dignified manner," he says. "I was deeply moved by the genuine compassion and outpouring of grief, which burst forth into a spontaneous haka."
My first foray into downtown Broome offers more surprises. There's little time for browsing through the string of pearl shops and mooning around in the cafes today.
The town is abuzz with excitement and the Shinju Matsuri Festival of the Pearl is in full swing. There are buskers in Chinatown, beer is flowing freely at The Roey, Broome's historic Roebuck Bay Hotel, and a feast of local fare is being offered up at the Courthouse Markets.
I'm over the moon with all this frenetic activity in what I thought was going to be a sleepy coastal town.
Somehow I find myself in the path of Sammy the Chinese Dragon, who's leading the float parade. But Robyn Maher, Broome's marketing guru, rescues me from the dragon parade and guides me into the relative calm of the Long Table Fusion Lunch. We dine in style with a grey nomad couple from Melbourne who have attended the festival for the past seven years. Earlier in the week they had enjoyed Opera under the Stars in a natural amphitheatre overlooking the ocean.
The lunch has a distinctive Chinatown feel, with rickshaws delivering six degustation courses from six different restaurants.
I meet some colourful local identities - there are many in Broome - including Freddy Corbus, a prominent Kimberleywood movie actor and a onetime hard-hat pearl diver who has been down to 60m in the quest for pearl shell. He tells me that his mother was Aborigine and his father Japanese, and that thousands of Japanese pearl divers have worked here over the years.
The festivities will continue for 10 days celebrating the pearling history and diversity of this vibrant, multicultural town.
However, I want to get acquainted with another local institution with a kaleidoscopic past. Matso's award-winning microbrewery and cafe is a true Broom treasure. The building was among the brothels, opium dens and mah-jong palaces in the bad old buccaneer days when the port was jam-packed with pearl luggers and thirsty divers.
Now, the heritage-listed building is famous as the must-go place for craft beers. I'm presented with a complete tasting tray of specialty beers. My favourite is the alcoholic ginger beer, closely followed by the low-carb, high-heeled, 6.8 per cent Dirty Blonde.
Their most-awarded dark lager is the Smoky Bishop, named with his permission, after the local bishop who is partial to an occasional puff and a sip of the amber liquid. He sampled the new product and was so impressed he blessed the brewery there and then. I was mildly coerced into trying the Hit the Toad lager, a Pilsener-style beer, as the brewery donates $10,000 each year to the Stop the Toad Foundation. The ubiquitous Queensland cane toad has already crossed the Western Australia borders and seems virtually unstoppable.
Broome has a host interesting things to do. Sun Pictures, the 1916 movie theatre, can claim to be the world's oldest operating outdoor picture garden.
On beautiful Cable Beach there's an atmospheric camel ride timed for the vivid orange/red sunset that lightens up the western sky. My stalwart mount, Kabul, is the alpha male, amazingly strong and broad of back - so broad that I walk bow-legged for a time after dismounting. He walked all the way from Queensland to join the merry band at Broome.
The Willie Creek Pearl Farm Tour is an entertaining and educational experience, providing an insight into the modern cultured pearling process.
The Pearling Lugger Experience is a delightful journey back in time to Broome's swashbuckling heyday, with an exciting ride on a 1903 lugger called Ntombi, the Zulu word for a young maiden.
I've enjoyed my stay in Broome and have made a clean sweep of its diverse attractions.
Next year, Sammy the Dragon will awake from his long slumber and set out on his high-spirited street parade. I'll be prepared this time, well positioned, ready to follow him all the way to the Mardi Gras.
Broome will be dusted off, all shipshape and Bristol fashion and be ready to welcome the world once more.

Car-theft suspect 'flushed' from Redmond hotel room
Toilet flush helped turn up barefoot suspect after 3-hour search
REDMOND, Ore. - A high-speed chase of a reported stolen car on Highway 97 Sunday morning ended with a barefoot suspect running into a Redmond hotel, prompting police to surround the building and conduct a methodical room-by-room search -- ending in success. thanks in part to a flushing toilet.
Around 8:20 a.m., a Deschutes River Woods resident called Deschutes County sheriff's 911 to report a red Dodge Charger heading north on Highway 97 south of Bend at a very high rate of speed, said sheriff's Lt. Kevin Dizney
Corey Esson said he was getting on Highway 97 at Baker Road on a quiet Sunday morning, with typically light traffic for that time of day.
"I look in my mirror, and all of a sudden, this car comes out of nowhere," Esson said. "I'm thinking, 'He'll move over. He'll move over' -- and he never moved over. He pushed me over into the bike lane. He went by me so darn fast, he must have been going 90 to 100 (mph)."
Esson said he called 911; Dizney said an area check didn't turn up the car.
Esson then said he got a call back around noon from a sheriff's deputy seeking more information. He said he was told the car had been stolen out of Central California about three weeks ago. Esson said the car had no license plates, only the "dealer plate" used on car lots.
Shortly after 10 a.m., a sheriff's deputy spotted the car speeding north on Highway 97 near Deschutes Junction, about halfway between Bend and Redmond, Dizney said.
The deputy estimated the car was going 90-plus mph, Dizney said. A second deputy, farther north near Redmond, clocked the car with radar at 96 mph, then pursued the car at speeds reaching 125 mph, until it reached Redmond and slowed to about 40 mph.
While trying to navigate through light traffic, the car tried to pass on the right shoulder of the road, but it left the pavement and crashed into the ditch, knocking down an address marker and coming to rest.
The driver then ran across the highway to the front of the Best Western Plus Rama Inn at 2630 SW 17th Place, Dizney said. He was seen running around the front of the hotel before he was believed to have entered through an unlocked door at the rear of the building.
Sheriff's deputies, Redmond police and Oregon State Police soon surrounded the hotel, roping it off with crime scene tape, as many officers were seen with their guns drawn or out and the search began -- one that would last more than three hours.
Officers escorted about a half-dozen hotel workers to a secure area on the first floor -- at first, housekeepers had been told to stay locked in the rooms they were working in.
About 15 of the hotel's 74 rooms were registered to guests Sunday morning, and police quickly checked on them by phone, finding only a few were occupied. Most were not answering, and the guests in one left; people still in another room were advised to stay inside with their door locked and away from windows.
Around 11:30 a.m., a female guest in a room asked if she could leave to go to work, and police escorted her out to her car.
A police command post was set up at the nearby Redmond Cinemas The area that includes Miller Lumber and a Burger King was taped off and blocked; several businesses were alerted to what was going on.
Dizney said the sheriff's office Special Operations Team conducted the room-to-room search.
Witnesses reportedly told police they saw no weapons on the suspect as he ran toward the hotel. Police were checking nearby stores and a bank with security cameras that could have video to help in the investigation.
Of course, all the police action drew lots of onlookers wondering what was going on.
"Well, we were just driving going to the pumpkin patch and we saw a bunch of cop cars and we decided to pull over and see what was happening," said Spencer Wallace. "I was hoping to see some action and there's a lot of guns out -- it was pretty intimidating."
"I was hoping everybody was okay," said Mariah Taunton. "Obviously, when you're driving by and you see an officer with a rifle drawn -- I mean, you're going to worry about some people. Hopefully they don't get shot."
Around 1:45 p.m. came word a man matching the description was in custody, having been found in the bathroom of Room 205, according to Dizney.
California fugitive Jacob Christopher Torrez, 30, was captured without further incident, Dizney said, and was led out of the hotel to a waiting police car.
Dizney said that while they were searching every room, "There was a sound of a toilet flushing that gave the search team an indicator that they might be close. But they searched that room and didn't find him."
"Or could it be where they heard the sound, it wasn't coming from the right place?" the lieutenant said. "But the suspect was ultimately found nearby, so it's entirely possible that the noise was made by him."
The car, a 2011 Dodge Charger, had been reported stolen in Tulare, Calif. Dizney said a small amount of drugs was found in the car, and more possible charges are being investigated.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the incident, he said, and investigators are looking to determine if drugs played a role.
Torrez was held without bail at the Deschutes County Jail in Bend on a fugitive warrant out of California, as well as new local charges of car theft, reckless driving, second-degree criminal trespass, drug possession and attempting to elude police, by vehicle and on foot.
Why did it take close to three hours to search 74 hotel rooms?
"Just a matter of, were we correct in our initial assumption that he had gone in there?" said Dizney. "And we were all very in strong belief of that. So, ultimately it was just about getting to the right room in time, and it's a very slow process to go room by room, to do it safely. I'm very proud of the deputies, the Redmond Police Department, OSP for how they handled that."
Those watching the drama unfold also were glad it turned out it did.
"I was just relieved that everybody seemed to come out fine, and nobody was hurt, and it was a calm situation," said Sue Humphrey. "Well, it's Redmond -- you don't see this kind of action around here, with so many cops in one area, just curiosity takes over. I just figured it was a big incident, because there was so many police here. And rumors got started in the parking lot that it was a hostage situation -- it kind of unfolds in front of you."

County supervisors voted 3-2 to move ahead with a privately funded program to help Mendocino County property owners get financing for energy efficiency and other conservation improvements. Supervisor John Pinches and Supervisor Carre Brown dissented.
General Services Administration Director Kristin McMenomey recommended the county work with Ygrene Energy Fund, a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) operator based in Santa Rosa, to develop a PACE program in Mendocino County, and a majority of supervisors agreed.
When a final county contract is approved, PACE will be available to property owners in unincorporated areas of Mendocino County, but at that time, incorporated cities in Mendocino County will be able to join the county's program with a simple resolution.
New Supervisor Dan Gjerde, formerly a Fort Bragg city council member, asked about local cities opting in, saying the City of Fort Bragg had been interested in the PACE program, but was waiting for the county to start one up, because councilmembers thought their 3,000 home city was too small to do it alone.
Funding for PACE conservation projects only will be awarded if energy bill savings from the improvements over the typical 20-year term cover at least 100 percent of the cost of installing them. To participate in the PACE program, an individual property owner voluntarily "votes themselves in" to a special district, likely to be called something like "Clean Energy Mendocino." There are no costs to other property owners. Any future staff costs at the county will be reimbursed, and Ygrene agreed to negotiate with GSA director McMenomey about reimbursing what McMenomey called "minimal" staff time costs so far.
The cost of installing the improvements will be paid back through a special line on the owner's property tax bill, like other special assessments approved by voters for a fire district or school district. And just like assessments for fire districts or school bonds, any new buyer of the property will continue paying the assessment.
Ygrene is a "turnkey operator," called such because, as Ygrene puts it, they will "pay for all costs for district implementation, staffing, marketing and financing," and they provide training, software, full documentation on their assessments to the county treasurer and auditor, and more. Ygrene will hire local staff to help with the program.
There were more than two hours of presentation, public comment and questions from the public and supervisors to two representatives of Ygrene. (Ygrene is "energy" spelled backwards, Ygrene's Michael Lemyre told The Willits News, because "we finance projects that allow you to reduce your energy use, so it costs you less.")
Willits was well represented among public commenters in favor of a PACE program in Mendocino County, including resident Keith Rutledge, speaking as a homeowner, who was singled out for thanks by chairman of the board, Supervisor Dan Hamburg, for his continued efforts to implement a PACE program over the last few years.
New Willits City Councilwoman Madge Strong, speaking as a citizen, said she thought a PACE program would be "a very valuable tool that we could use here."
"The whole idea of localizing our economy, improving jobs for contractors, reducing energy use?all that money that goes out of the county in PG&E bills?if we could keep the money locally, it would be a huge stimulus for the county." Strong said she also hoped the program would be structured so local investors could invest funds, "to keep their investment dollars local."
Members of the public expressing skepticism about a PACE program included two representatives from the Savings Bank of Mendocino County, President and CEO Scott Yandell and Senior Vice President Marti Lombardi, and Ukiah realtor Dick Seltzer.
Concerns included who would pay the property tax assessment in a foreclosure situation until the property sold again (answer: the primary lender, just like school and fire assessments); would a property owners' participation in PACE need the consent of the lender? (answer: no, but there will be notification to the primary lender and, Ygrene representative Joe Livich said, "if the lender brings up an issue, and they can offer something more attractive, that's the market working"), and why the interest rate was 7 percent as opposed to a lower rate banks would offer if a homeowner was able to get a bank loan for energy retrofitting (Livich said: "It has to do with market forces and the risk investors take before PACE becomes a recognized program").
Right before the vote, Supervisor John McCowen asked if, "in other jursidictions where you operate, have local banks participated" as investors in the PACE program?
"Yes, community banks, credit unions and larger lenders," Lemyre said.
"Let's find a way to address the concerns of our local lenders," McCowen said, before voting "yes" on the motion to develop a PACE program.

First things first: the Driven team would like to wish readers a Happy New Year and welcome you all to what is shaping up to be 12 months packed with new models, freaky concepts and top-quality events.
It's always hard to give up the holiday trappings and drag heels back to work - our first day at the coalface involved such arduous duties as picking up the keys to a 911. Tough work, but we're here to do the dirty work for you.
The most interesting news over the break was that we're not quite the nation of rusty banger drivers some would have us believe. For the third time since 1989, New Zealand's new-vehicle market has topped the magical 100,000 mark. That's a 19 per cent leap on 2011, and a good sign for an industry that's had its share of beatings in recent years.
Part of the reason behind our newfound excitement about shiny new metal is the fact that there were gaping holes in stocklists in 2011 as a result of tragedies such as the Japan tsunami and earthquake, and the flooding in Thailand.
But there was more to it than just stock issues, there was a big influx of new models, some exciting fresh machines such as the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, others bread-and-butter cars like Honda's new Euro hatch. And the 19 per cent jump was obviously made possible by a patently miserable year prior.
The hugely competitive industry really did take the gloves off and started offering incredibly tempting finance, warranty and servicing deals - a big reason to look at brand new as opposed to new-ish.
But we're still the proud owners of an ancient fleet - on average - and it'll take more than a free iPad and some capped-price servicing to tip most New Zealanders into one of these virginal vehicles.
What do you think the secret is to updating the Kiwi fleet? Is it down to legislating rustbuckets off the roads, or is there something a bit less heavy-handed we could try?
