What are real and complex solutions of equation z^2+9=0?
1 Answer | Add Yours
We'll isolate `z^(2)` to the left side subtracting 9 both sides:
`z^(2)` = -9
Now we'll take square root both sides:
`sqrt(z^(2))` = `+-` `sqrt(-9)`
But `sqrt(-1)` = i
z = `+-` 3i
Since the equation is a quadratic, it cannot have more than two roots. If one root is complex, then the other root is also a complex root and it is the conjugate of the 1st complex root.
The equation won't have real solutions but it will have two complex solutions: -3i and 3i.

Hello , I am planning to do a simple audio processing program something like real time volume gain
I have previously done this on a DSP processor but would like to do this on the ARM . I am a beginner at programming therefore pardon me for any mistakes
Basically I want to sample the analog input using an interrupt service routine and plan to program using C
First , there is no Line in on the board therefore I plan to use a external USB sound card. How do I sample the audio data coming from the sound card ? Can I know how the data flows to the processor ? Are there any libraries that I can use ?
Then I want to transmit the data to the Line out on the board or the sound card ,after processing it. How do transmit the data to the same
Is there a serial port which connects the processor to the line in , line out
Any help will be hugely appreciated

Where I stayed
Prague Plus Hostel
In the town square the Czech Army Orchestra is playing with a Tenor and Lady Soprano. The first song I hear is New York, New York, quite strange really. The drum majorettes perform it is a little bit kitshe but hey its post-communism. The next song is Celine Dion's My Heart will go on. Ohhh my it gets cornier and cornier. Some men in red suits then perform with their bayonets the Tenor and Soprano sing it is a pretty good performance if a bit cheesy but hey.
I then head over the Vlatava River on the bridge next to the St Charles Bridge. I take some photos from this distance as I will walk over it on the way back. I discover some cool little side streets and walk past the masses of tourist souvenir shops with quite overpriced things, I think I will wait for Cesky Krumlov before I purchase anything in the Czech Republic.
I head back to the Youth Hostel and see if anyone has joined me in my room. I feel a bit lonely in Prague. I think I got used to the company with Couchsurfing and there seems to be lots of tour groups, Contiki and Busabout who are all pretty much organised. I decide to do a night walking tour and look through the brochures.
I head back into town an hour later to get some dinner and go on the Ghost Tour. There are 4 separate groups and I choose the one with the lantern and a mid sized group, the group with only two seemed a bit unappealing but after it starts I wish I had gone with them as there are people from the Youth Hostel in that group. Our guide is a little bit foggy on the information and when asked what certain churches etc are does not know. The usual guide, her husband is away. It is an okay nite, a bit disappointing but then it got me out and I got to see some more of Prague than I had before.
It lasts abit over an hour and when I then do a bit of wandering around the streets before heading back to the Youth Hostel. There are 4 people in the room but they are asleep when I get in and I don't get to meet them.

Out of the 3 wineries my friends and I visited this was the only one we bought bottles of wine to take home from. It was busy, but the servers were all very friendly and helpful, sharing info about each wine and answering questions.
All the wines had very distinct odors. The three chocolate desert witness were all very good.
We love visiting Grapevine. Grapevine Springs used to be our favorite winery. We visit from OKC 2-3 times a year so we can stock up on your wine. We typically purchase 2 or 3 cases at a time. I tell you this first because we were there Saturday, June 18. Our "server" was Nelson. He came on strong at the...
We found this winery a few years ago while wandering Main Street in downtown Grapevine. As there are many to visit, this is our favorite and they have the best wine. We live about 3 hours north in Okc and I'm always calling and ordering more wine. The staff is great and "on" the spot with service. Super easy to...
D'vine Wine offers a nice variety of local flavored wines. This and her sister winery, Cowtown Winery (Fort Worth), have been my favorite stops while visiting this area because of the good selection of wines and friendly staff. In addition to loving their dry reds, namely the Night Watchman Red, Pinot Noir and Cab Franc. I found some local twist...
While walking down Main Street in downtown Grapevine, we checked out D'Vine...first it is the perfect name for a winery! We thought it would be a wine bar but it is so much more. The waitress, Rebecca, was very cordial pointing to the owner and wine master behind the bar. Wine vats are actually in the back room. We were...
We were a little skeptical based on the location- we thought it would just be an unfriendly, city-type wine bar. But we were very pleasantly surprised when we walked in to a gorgeous, welcoming place. They poured all the tastes and then just left us to relax and enjoy. We will definitely be back to enjoy this again. My husband...
If you are looking for a great little pace to sample and enjoy some local Texas wines, you need to give D'Vine Wine on Main St. in Grapevine, TX a try. We have been going there for several years now when we are in town to visit. We like to go on Monday's when their wines are $3.00 a glass...
We did the Watchman Tour, it was very informative a nice walk around Main St with alittle tell of the few unanswered tells of night time going on's. At the end we went back to DVine Wine for a glass of wine to end the tour.
Main Street in Grapevine is full of one of a kind shops and restaurants. The D'Vine Wine looked charming so we tried their 3 glass wine flight. For the two of us, it was $11 total which was very reasonable. There were quite a few wines to choose from. Renee was our server and was excellent even when it was...
Great selection of wine and nice atmosphere. Nice staff. Could have stayed longer. Would definitely go back.

CLOAK & DAGGER Bomber Jacket in Urchin
Too cool for school? Juno was. Ellen Page rocked the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards wearing a similar black leather bomber jacket with a ripped white tee and slim pants - and high top sneakers. I guess when you take home the Golden Popcorn for Best Actress, you can wear whatever you want - but she did look fierce.

Redmond garage-shop fire traced to oily rags
Little damage, no injuries
REDMOND, Ore. - A fire in a southwest Redmond detached garage-wood shop Saturday afternoon was caused by spontaneous combustion of oily rags improperly disposed of in a garbage can, investigators said.
Redmond firefighters were called around 3:20 p.m. to the garage fire at a home at 1040 SW 15th Street, said Fire Marshal Traci Cooper. They arrived to find black smoke coming from the garage door of a two-door garage, she said.
Crews were able to quickly extinguish a fire burning inside at a plastic garbage can and surrounding materials, Cooper said, adding that there were no injuries reported.
Losses were held to $250.

Kobo is one of the few names in gadgets to make it on the strength of ebook readers alone. It makes three of the things, most notably the rather lovely Kobo Touch and the rather lowly Kobo Vox. To find out a little more about the Canadian newbie standing up to giants like Amazon and Sony, we talked to executive vice president of business development at Kobo Todd Humphrey.
The Kobo way
Kobo's strategy in the UK has been pretty simple. It did a deal with WH Smith to win its ebook readers a great spot on the high street and then ensured they sold at a very aggressive price.
Head down to WH Smith and you can grab a Kobo Touch for £79.99. That may not seem dramatically cheap when the Amazon Kindle is just £89.99 - but let's not forget that the touchscreen Kindle starts at £109. And you can't even get one in the UK, yet.
Kobo eReader Touch
Of course, teaming-up with a major bookseller is nothing new. Most memorably, Sony partnered with Waterstones in 2008 to flog its Reader line, and yet in spite of significant backing in-store, the partnership never seemed all that successful.
We asked Kobo's Todd Humphrey why he thought this was, when Kobo seems to have made an at least modest success of it. Humphreys said that in theory Sony "should own" the ebook reader market, having had a "two year head start" on its rivals. Sony's PRS-500 launched in 2006. The first Kindle launched in late 2007. Kobo didn't even exist until 2008 - and wasn't known as Kobo until December 2009 (it was part of Indigo books beforehand).
Kobo's Todd Humphrey
How did Sony squander such a head start?
It wasn't a problem of hardware - it may not be pretty but the PRS-500 was a good ereader - but infrastructure. Humphrey says simply that its "library isn't good enough".
It's hard not to agree. The Sony Reader Store - its book portal - only launched today, April 16, in the UK. The Sony PRS-T1, the first Wi-Fi-enabled Sony Reader has been around for six months. And in that time, clicking on the built-in link to the Reader Store resulted in a banner telling you it'd be there one day. Technology facepalm moments don't get much more obvious than that.
Humphrey says Kobo's strategy has three main elements. There's the hardware, the library and there's the wider app ecosystem. Like Amazon's Kindle platform, the Kobo library is available on Android phones and iPhones in app form, as well as Kobo's ereaders.
All three of these elements are important. To date eight million people have used the Kobo Store - and we'd guess that a lot of those aren't using a Kobo ereader.
Speaking up for the Vox - E ink for the rubbish tip?
After saying Kobo puts a big focus on hardware, we couldn't help but ask about the Kobo Vox's poor critical reception. It's Kobo's colour, LCD-screen ereader - taking cues from the Amazon Kindle Fire. We gave it 3/10, if you haven't already read our full review.
Kobo Vox
Humphrey says that the company looking at improvements that could be made to the Vox - although by no means a confirmation of the Vox 2 (or similar), it's a suggestion that one may be on the cards. However, he also defended the tablet-ereader, citing Mums as particular fans of the tablet.
He also rather wittily summed up the problem with the tablet market - one that ensured the Vox a pasting by more tech-savvy crowd. As the iPad introduced such high standards in 2010, it's like tablet buyers "drove a Ferrari out of the garage at age 16." We're spoilt, basically, and aren't happy with screen's we'd have lapped up a few years ago.
The future of ebook readers
The Vox is flawed, but as the latest Kobo product to hit shelves, it could be taken as a suggestion that Kobo is heading in a new direction - away from E Ink. Humphrey didn't take this view, seeing it as "responding to customers". That is, customers that want to play Angry Birds and read Tolstoy on the same device.
Is there a long-term future for E Ink, though? Humphrey isn't so sure. He says that while it's likely the dedicated E Ink reader will be around for "2-3 years" at least, skip forward five years and the same may not be true.
In recent months, there has been a trend for analysts to predict doom and gloom for the ereader market, following a cut in Amazon's component orders for the E Ink Kindle. However, Humphrey brushes off these predictions, forecasting a "sales spike" this year that will ereader see units sold increase steadily. While he didn't have any particularly concrete reasoning for this, we hope he's right - we're not keen to wave goodbye to the E Ink ereader any time soon.

The date was February 22, 2007. The event was a NASCAR race at California Speedway in Fontana, CA. I stood in the stands with my oldest son as the green flag dropped. As the collective roar of 32,250 horsepower barreled down upon us, I stood amazed at how physically impacted I was—considering I had not moved. In fact, I find it difficult to communicate just how forceful a NASCAR race is to those who have not experienced one firsthand. However, regardless of the power delivered by these finely tuned machines, each car would stop rather abruptly without an efficient lubricant making sure all the engine parts glide smoothly past one another.
While motor oil fills the bill for race cars, another liquid provides the lubrication for immensely more powerful motions throughout Earth. It is well known that liquid water acts as the ideal medium for life-essential biochemical reactions. Consequently, the discovery of a planet that might contain liquid water generated great excitement in the scientific community. However, a growing body of evidence demonstrates how water also works to maintain the critical process of plate tectonics 4.5 billion years after Earth's formation.
As described in Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee's book Rare Earth, plate tectonics generates and renews the continental landmass, which houses the vast majority of Earth's biodiversity. Additionally, tectonic activity acts as a global thermostat—ensuring abundant liquid water oceans—by regulating greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. In a recent Connections article (Quarter 3, 2007, page 4), I described a discovery showing how the unusual interaction of water and minerals just below Earth's crust provides the mechanism for the crustal plates to float and move past one another. Even earlier, I highlighted two other discoveries showing how important water is in lubricating the motions of these crustal plates. Without such lubrication, the earthquakes experienced on Earth's surface would be much larger and more devastating.
More recently, an article in Science shows how water is transported even deeper into Earth's mantle. Even though the density of water pales compared to rock (which is why the oceans reside on Earth's surface), a large amount of water does work its way into Earth's interior. As one oceanic crustal plate subducts under another plate, the water absorbed in the plate floats to the top of the plate and forms a channel of watery material. This material both lubricates the two interacting plates and provides a pathway for water into the deep mantle.
At this time, the details of how water interacts with the deep Earth are still largely unknown. However, scientists' understanding of these processes continues to grow. Given how critical water is to life's biochemistry and to the functioning of plate tectonics on Earth's surface, I expect and predict that scientists will discover additional ways that water facilitates life-critical processes deep inside Earth.

|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
This beautifully restored 18th century townhouse is in the lovely village of Uzès, capital of the province of the Gard in southern France. The house is located immediately outside the original medieval town walls and is a two minute walk away from the 12th century market place the Place aux Herbes, which hosts a Provencale market every Saturday. The house was constructed in the 18th century as a gentle men's town house on much older foundations. It was restored by Dr. Patrick Woodcock in the early 80s and has featured in a number of books and documentaries about the region. The house is comfortably furnished with a mixture of contemporary English and 18-19th century French furniture. The roof terrace at the top of the house provides lovely views of the town center and surroundings. There is a lovely shaded walled garden at the back of the house. Both the roof terrace and the garden have large dining tables. Car parking a few minutes walk from the house.
How To Get There: Closest to Uzes are the airports of Nîmes and Montpellier. Direct services from the UK are provided by Ryanair operating out of London Stansted, or British Airways from London Gatwick. Air France provides services from Paris. Car hire services are available from both airports. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Nîmes and just over one hour from Montpellier. Easyjet flies to Marseile and Toulouse. KLM also operates flights from Amsterdam to Marseille.
Avignon is also served by TGV from both Paris and Marseille. Car hire companies operate in Avignon at walking distance from Avignon Centre railway station. Note that the new TGV station is substantially outside the town. Limited car hire facilities are available in Uzès. It is advisable to book well in advance. Uzès is approximately 30 minutes by car from Avignon.
Things to do: The "Office de Tourisme" is located in Place Albert 1er (next to the Bar de la Fontaine). They have wealth of information about Uzès and the region. The staff are helpful and it worth a visit to view this magnificently restored stone vaulted chapel. Every quarter or so they produce a publication advertising "what's on". It is worth checking this out as there are a surprising number of cultural activities which take place over the summer months.
Swimming. There is a 25 meter municipal swimming pool located just outside the center of town on the road (D982) towards Bagnols-sur-Ceze. Pass beneath the Roman arch just below the Promenade des Maronniers, descend the steps and turn sharply to the left. Opening times vary through the year so check with the Office de Tourisme or at the pool itself.
More things to do: Tennis. The Tennis Club d'Uzès has a number of clay courts which can be hired by visitors. The club is located in the same area as the swimming pool. Information and details can likewise be obtained from the Office de Tourisme or the club itself.
Walking. There are a number of attractive walks that can be made around the town. The starting points for most are either in the Parc Municipal below the Parade des Marroniers (same entrance as the swimming pool) or the Chemin de Gisfort which runs off the Boulevard Victor Hugo below the Hopital General. The Parc Municipal contains a football field and a number of exercise points for determined joggers. Remains of the Roman aqueduct which took the water from the spring near Uzès to Nîmes via the Pont du Gard have been partially excavated and are still to be found here.
A gorgeous house. So near the centre. Lovely boulangerie next door. Well equiped with plenty of pots and pans etc.
Malika was so friendly and her daughtet so helpful when i had a problem with my ipad. The back garden was a godsend in the heat with its large shady umbrella.
Perfect for three couples - we had plenty of room to be together and room to be alone. We were steps away from everything we needed. The hosts provided guidebooks, music CD's and stereo system, and hundreds of books for our enjoyment. The kitchen was especially accommodating for six people who like to cook, eat and talk. Next time we'll stay even longer than our one week dream vacation in Uzes.
Beautiful large house. The house description did not do it justices. it was amazing. Very comfortable. It had everything you could possibly need, from sunhats. umbrellas. and enough baskets for us all on market days. The location was down a quiet street but right near the centre of town, which had amazing restaurants, music and of course 2 markets each week. The patisserie was 3 doors away. Couldn't recommend the house enough.
Beautiful house in a perfect location. The house is very large, comfortable, excellent kitchen. Uzes is a fabulous town. Our group of three had a very nice week here.
Four ladies traveled to Uzes for my 65th birthday and we could not have found a
better place for our celebration! Dian was wonderful to work with, the home was
absolutely wonderful and we felt we were "at home" in it! Didn't even mind the
four flights of stairs to get to our bedroom on the top floor as we had the awesome
patio and could leave our doors open at night to enjoy the wonderful fresh air! And
everything was right at our doorstep - the lovely village, the market, restaurants,
etc. I can't say enough good about our stay and we would not hesitate to return.
In fact, I am going to start making plans NOW for my 70th!!! Thank you for such
a perfect place to call home for the week.
I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful this house is. It has been beautifully and sympathetically restored and furnished. It has absolutely everything you would need - including baskets for the wonderful market and hats to protect from the sun. The terrace with sun loungers is the perfect place to soak up the sun with one of the hundreds of books from the library. The town itself is beautiful and we enjoyed wandering over to the Place aux Herbes in the evening to one of the many restaurants under the twinkling trees. Dian was fantastic to deal with and we would (and really hope we will) return in the future.
Uzès sits on a limestone hill at an elevation of 130 metres. The Romans converted this natural defensive position into an encampment to defend Nîmes, one of the richest and most important cities in France in Roman times. Springs close by sourced the water which was carried to Nîmes via the famous nearby Pont du Gard. Roman water channels can still be found in the valley next to the river Alzon at the foot of the hill on which Uzès is perched. The skyline of this handsome medieval village is dominated by the eleventh century castle which is still occupied by one of the oldest noble families in France, the Duc d'Uzès. The bishop's palace was built in the 17th century. The cathedral of Saint Theodorit is decorated with the Tour Fenestrelle, one of the most picturesque romanesque towers in the region. In the centre of the village is a perfectly preserved 12th century market-place, the Place aux Herbes, which hosts one of the prettiest markets in France every Saturday.
Golf: There is a very attractive nine hole golf course at the "Golf Club d'Uzès" a few kilometers outside Uzès. The golf course is available to visitors and is open from 0800 to 1900 every day. Please note that you will have to provide proof of a handicap of 35 or less AND proof of membership of a golf club in your country of residence. Prices are reasonable (euro 20/25 weekday/weekend) and clubs and equipment can also be hired. The course is on the Chemin de Malaric and is well signposted to the right of the D981 from Uzès to Remoulins just before the Pont des Charettes. Telephone 04 66 22 40 03, email golfUzès@club-internet.fr, web site: http://perso.club-internet.fr/golfUzès. Further information is available in the Uzès tourist information folder.

Everything was ok - we get to Pula without any troubles, near the flat is supermarket and Exchange office with good prices. The flat is in perfect place if you plan to sightseeing Istria.
We had two wonderful weeks in Pula. The host (Sandra with family) are wonderful and very service minded and helpful. The apartment has a great location (only 15min walk to Pula center) and has a perfect layout. The bathroom and the two bedrooms are newly renovated and are very nice.

Ah, the politics of tourism in the provinces.
In planning my greedy food weekend in Hawkes Bay this winter, I had come across reports in our fine sister publication, Hawke's Bay Today, of a tiff between tourism operators in Napier and the wider region. The fine burghers of the town were insisting that it was a waste of time (and, no doubt, money) promoting the whole province to visitors, and that the tourist money should go only to Napier and its Art Deco charms. The rest of them could dine off the crumbs, apparently.
I beg to differ.
Although the town does boast some pretty examples of that period's architecture - including the recent, loving restoration of the gorgeous old Masonic Hotel - there's a limit to how much walking, gawping (and shopping) a person can do. Instead, mention a weekend in Hawkes Bay to most Aucklanders, and they go all dreamy eyed about the wineries and the food, rattling off their favourites. Repeated eating and drinking is a much better way of bringing back visitors, I reckon.
Which is why a greedy person is delighted that there are now two compelling reasons a year - at least - to make the food pilgrimage south. Last summer's FAWC (Food and Wine Classic) was such a success, Hawkes Bay Tourism created a smaller winter FAWC as well. Which saw us through the dark patch and we can now book for this November (see below).
Our winter food is all about nesting and cosy, roaring fires and moody food, so we were delighted to start the weekend at our favourite Craggy Range for their rotisserie dinner at Terroir. That giant stone fireplace just gets better with age, and the dishes were wintry and warming, smoky from the fire and just what winter is about.
To our delight, our accommodation ticked the famous regional architecture box, too. Not Art Deco, but even better, a cottage by architect John Scott that summed up his clean and classic design. Built for the owner's parents when they retired from the farm, John's House is furnished with a mix of mid-century and antiques, rugs and paintings and memorabilia from the former airman and his wife's life. Best of all, it had a fully equipped kitchen, a fireplace lit to welcome us and a stack of logs to keep the fire going. And home-made bread, preserves and eggs from the resident chooks.
We had fully planned to make use of the cycle trail, the wide gravel path wound past the river at the foot of the property, to cycle into Havelock North and parts beyond. Howling wind and rain put paid to that, so we had to drive to our favourite Mister D's in Napier for coffee and their famous doughnuts (we can never decide between the jam, custard or chocolate-filled syringes for the fillings and have to ask for extra). Lunch was booked at Kent Baddeley's 1024 restaurant on the edge of Hastings. You never know what you are going to get with Kent - he writes his menus in the mornings, then trots out dishes you didn't order, just to get a reaction. It pays to get a table right by the kitchen so you can watch him and his tiny team - with their array of clever garnishes - turn the dishes around in such a smooth way. Ridiculously cheap and ridiculously clever food, you can see why his Petit Lyon restaurant in Wellington was such a legend.
We'd left our booking for the evening FAWC events too late - lesson learned for November - so instead treated ourselves to breads from Havelock North's French baker, Ya Bon, local cheeses and charcuterie from Bellatino's, and of course wine, before heading back to John's House to light the fire and settle for an indoor picnic while the storm raged.
The Sunday event was a clever combination of producers from the Hawkes Bay Farmers' Market and Vidal's winery. While we'd stocked up that morning, it was great to listen to the stories of the producers (olive oil, a new tonic water, lamb, cheeses) and winemakers while we sampled. We couldn't resist, after watching diners in the restaurant, ordering a basket of Vidal's splendid triple-cooked chips to see us on the road home.
November's event is already booking out fast - our favourite picks, a repeat of the Locavore's Lunch (gathering produce at the Farmers' Market, cooked by local chefs), a producer's tour mid-week, and a selection of novel dinners. Martin Bosley's food truck by Havelock's Advintage winery went off last year, and we're pleased to see a return of James Beck's astounding, delicate degustation (albeit a more modest six courses, compared with last year's15).
Yip, food and wine tourism is the best thing about the Hawkes Bay region, in my book.

For a 380 I also would say the tcp 380 . best 380 trigger of any of them at a less than 5lb pull weight. . For a 9mm look at the cmor pm9 for the smaller model. Both are cheaper than the sigs with smoother lighter trigger pulls. Some say the nano is a pocket pistol but at 17oz??? have to see for your self. For get the taurus ul look at some of the many used s&w airweights for a revolver.
I pocket carry a cm9 with 380 as a when nothing else works pistol. cw9 for when iwb is best.

House-building show reveals a brutal side, while a marae do-up series is brimming with feel-good factors.
Some people have been saying awful things about Mitre 10 Dream Home, the television series which returned last week for its umpteenth series, so I thought I'd say a few of my own.
The uproar among viewers has been about a judging process that appeared to break its own rules in choosing one of the first episode's winning teams. It certainly looked that way to me too, though I'm not in too much of an uproar about that.
I'm more uproarious about the show's other shortcomings. Dream Home (TV2, 7.30, Tuesdays), after all, should be a dream show, lining up six home-hungry young couples in a house-building contest that taps right into mortgage-worshipping middle New Zealand.
For additional emotional impact, this series is set in Christchurch, channelling the dreams of young families whose lives were shattered by the earthquakes and the aftermath.
For even more emotional impact, Dream Home is presented by Christchurch local Simon Barnett, who last week suddenly cried in the midst of eliminating one family from the contest, quite stopping my own tears in their tracks.
But for me, the big emotional problem last week was the elimination of two-thirds of the show's talent. Budget probably prohibits the building of too many houses, so the show solved that problem by cutting the competition from six teams to only two by the end of the first episode.
It was a brutal business after we'd been introduced to the various keen couples and their cute kids to be so rudely parted from them.
The competing couples had been given 24 hours to build a complete model of the dream home they'd hopefully go on to build in real life through the rest of the series.
It seemed simple. Simon said quite clearly at one point, "If it's not fully completed, you're goneski". But then the lovey-dovey lesbian couple with the cute kids but the seriously incomplete model (no windows, no colour scheme) were surprisingly declared winners.
Which might perhaps have a cynic thinking they were "inski" simply because they were "gayski" which gave them an appealing point of difference.
Anyway, for the next however-many weeks - appealing or not - they're competing against the lovely couple with six kids, building houses with only an endless queue of product-related sponsors to help them.
For a more genuine sort of show about that sort of thing, there's AIA Marae DIY (Maori, Wednesday, 8.30pm), which has charm in truckloads as it hits the sticks to tidy up a tired old marae somewhere else each week.
Last week they were at the Putahi Marae way over Wairoa way, bringing a slick production touch to a down-home show that mixes it up as much with the charismatic kuia as it does with the concrete and paint.
Just lovely, really - and that marae didn't half look smart afterwards.
And there was more down-home charm available on Maori TV on Sunday night at 7.30 as that reconstituted institution of a show It's In the Bag hit the semifinal of its current tiny-town-hopping series.
Frontman Pio Terei isn't Selwyn Toogood - who is? - but he sings, though mercifully not for long. The show can't miss though, and Terei has the right sort of circus charm for the money-or-the-bag format, though he wasn't offering much financial temptation on Sunday.
The semifinal brought five small-town winners to Auckland and there were lots of laughs, the usual flirting, and Barney from Ohakune went home with a wooden spoon.
But smiling.


text: You may find that owning a tux makes black-tie events suddenly appear. But if it's not happening fast enough, consider those old Hollywood films where somebody like Melvyn Douglas or William Powell asked, "Shall we dress for dinner?" Once, the tux was a dinner suit, and it was worn in supper clubs and in private homes. Start something up with your tux-owning friends and have an old-school dinner at home. It might be contagious. Or you might just take your wife out for dinner to a great restaurant so attired. Everyone will just assume you're going to or coming from something swell.

Special January release of snowbound Renold happening Tuesday
Cris Rose has a new Personal Trimentional Viewer on the way, and this one is fitting given that the U.K. is having a little snow problem as of late. The January Snowday Renold PTV is what this piece is called, featuring one of the more notable Sprog sculpts. Limited to six pieces, these little dioramas feature a 3-inch Renold Sprog inside of a snowy enclosure, painted a nice teal color that's perhaps supposed to look a little icy. This isn't a snow globe, though, so please, don't shake your little robot friend around!
The new Trimentional Viewer comes into Cris' shop Tuesday at 6 p.m. GMT (1p.m. Eastern, 10 a.m. Pacific) for US$65. You can still pick up his latest Trimentional Viewer colorway as well for the same price.

The first mortgage and second mortgage post closing documents are not organized. Some documents have been missing for years, others are back dated or forged. Fannie mae and or Freddie mac need to be aware and suspend loans from this credit union. The collection department calls need to be recorded and not be only relied on the person notes.

Had all 3.
Sold the 360 because none of its exclusives interest me anymore, and the rest of the console is turning into the Wii. The Wii is a volatile machine... Anytime a first party game(Mario/Metroid/Zelda etc.) comes out it gets abusive amounts of use, but collects tons of dust in between. I kept the PS3 mostly for Blu-Ray use, Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime streaming, as well as the PS1/PS2 backwards compatibility. I play lots of classic playstation games.
Console's are headed in a bad direction IMO. I'm almost exclusively a PC gamer again.

Where I stayed
Old village houses are converted into art spaces showcasing Japanese and international artists. Combined ticket for 6 projects costs �1000. If you don't have enough time to get around all of them, you may chose to buy "one-site ticket" �400 for 1 project only. We went for the �1000 pass.
* Kadoya "Sea of Time'98","Naoshima's Counter Window" ,"Changing Landscape" by Tatsuo Miyajima. An amazing house too, especially Sea of Time. This artist is famous for using numbers in his art. This project is one of the most beautiful, in an old traditional Japanese house he just built a shallow pond in it they are single digit numbers counting down from 1 to 9 at
different pace. People families from the island each got one device and chose at which speed the count down should be. It is a very soothing place, you can hear water running, and each numbers lighting the pond like fireflies.Have a look at the pictures.
* Minamidera "Backside of the Moon" by James Turrell and house by Tadao Ando: an incredible work of art, that you have to "experience"once again. You enter this large house and sit in a dark place for several minutes, until yous eyes get used to the darkness, and suddenly you discover it is not dark at all... Please go!
* Go'oh Jinja (Shrine) "Appropriate Proportion" by Hiroshi Sugimoto - Unfortunately, we did not have time to visit this one.
* Ishibashi "The Falls" by Hiroshi Senju: One of the few pure painting projects. This very talented painter focuses on recreating Nature, the waterfall project exhibited at this house is
very impressive, simple but dense.
* Haisha "ZETSUJOMU" (Dream tasting on the tongue), "BOKKON peeper hole" by Shinro Ohtake: Probably the most avant garde and scruffy project. Haisha means dentist but I guess we
can say it's a "play on Kanji" as the Kanji used means things we throw away. It's hard to describe this house it's a bit like a conceptual organized chaos of memories.
* Gokaisho "Camellia" by Etsuhiro Suda: Gokaisho means the place to play "Go", the Japanese chess. This newly built spot is basically two rooms outside with tatami floor, and camellia flowers made of thin wood chip are scattered around. A very romantic and peaceful image.
* Kinza is the last project, but it is not included in the Art House Project combined ticket. Reservation is required 3 days in advance and we didn't.
This last morning on Naoshima was once again very interesting, and this place deserves even more time to be fully enjoyed and discovered. It won't be this time, but for sure we will come back...
We finally took the ferry back to the mainland, and took a Shinkansen (once again, thank you JR pass ;-) to Shin-Osaka station. We stayed at J'Hoppers Osaka, which is very close to Fukushima station on the Osaka Loop Line, and close to Osaka Station too. J'Hoppers is very similar to K's House, and also has hostels in different cities in Japan (Takayama, Kyoto, Hiroshima...). The place was ok even if the acoustic insulation between the rooms was far from perfect...
Even if it was very sunny in Osaka that day, we decided to go and visit the "Kaiyukan", which is the aquarium of the city and one of the largest public aquarium in the world.
The walk-through aquarium displays several habitats in 16 tanks, along with the marine life inside them. The habitats are from the Ring of Fire area of the Pacific Ocean. The largest tank holds 5,400 cubic metres of water, and a variety of fish including manta rays and a pair of whale sharks.
The tanks used in the aquarium are made of 314 tons of acrylic glass - roughly 1.5 times the world's annual production. The largest single pane measures six meters by five meters by thirty centimeters and weighs roughly 10 tons. At the thicknesses used, regular glass would not only be unwieldy, but would not have a desirable amount of transparency (thank you material sciences ;-).
The Kaiyukan is supposed to be overcrowded, and every websites we read advised to come as early as possible... As far as we are concerned, we arrived at 17:45 (it closes at 20:00), and there was almost no one! Maybe due to the sunny day ;-) Anyway, it was very pleasant to wander in the aquarium in those conditions and to observe all the different species of fish, especially the star of the aquarium : the two huge whale sharks.
When we finally got out of the Kaiyukan, it was time for dinner. As we did not want to come back so quickly to Combini's food after Naoshima's gastronomy, and as we wre so close to Kobe, we decided to go for a SteackHouse restaurant and eat Kobe beef! O. had already selected an address on the internet (those who know him won't be surprised...) and we had asked to the nice girl at the front desk of J'Hoppers to make a reservation for us. Even if the restaurant did not usually take reservations for people without mobile phone number (which was our case), the girl insisted and the reservation was made. She told us later that the owner of the restaurant had asked her if we spoke japanese, and how we heard about this place !...
The restaurant was located close to Dotombori, the busiest place in Osaka at night. This neighbourhood is very famous for restaurant, clubs, and bars, and it never sleeps. When we entered the restaurant, we discovered a tiny room, where everybody (only japanese people...) sat at the "bar" while cooks were preparing food in front of the clients. We took a seat, and a nice cook speaking basic english welcomed us. I will pass you the details, but the dinner was excellent, the meat terrific, and the atmosphere very privileged.
When we finished, the cook came with us to the elevator, asked us where we were coming from, and he seemed so happy to discover we came from France. He kept thanking us for coming to his place, and as the doors of the elevators were closing, we thought it was over. But no, we the doors opened on the 1st floor, the cook was waiting for us, gave us the card of the restaurant and has been thanking us for two more minutes! Just unbelievable !
We finally walked back to the metro station, after wandering a bit in Dotombori, Osaka's Times Square.

NHL Power Rankings 11/18
|11.19.09 at 7:47 am ET
As the NHL nears the quarter mark of the season, the WEEI power rankings sort things out.
1. 14-5-0 The Devils are tough on the road (9-1) and just rounding into form under Jacques Lemaire, posting an 8-2 mark in their last 10. Strong start for forward Zach Parise, 24 points in 19 games, a plus-13. Martin Brodeur has started 17 of 19 and posts a .920 save percentage.
2. 14-5-4 Tuesday loss to Nashville costs the Sharks the top spot. Dany Heatley's 14 goals not a great surprise, but Patrick Marleau with 13? Still, it's November.
3. 13-4-4 Return of MVP Alex Ovechkin gets high-powered Caps offense (league-best 83 goals) back on track.
4. 12-5-2 The Blackhawks are starting to click on all cylinders. Cristobal Huet is getting things done in goal, (2.25 GAA). They have the best penalty-killing in the league. Duncan Keith (15 points in 19 games) is sixth in the league in scoring by defensemen.
5. 13-6-3 The Avalanche may be coming back to earth after a surprising start. The Avs are just 5-4-1 in the last 10 games. Center Ryan O'Reilly is third in rookie scoring (15 points) but was minus-3 in a loss Wednesday.
6. 12-5-1 Look out, the Sabres are starting to settle into the division lead. And wrestling it back from 6-foot-8 rookie defenseman Tyler Myers (averaging 21 minutes of ice time) could be a tall order.
7. 12-5-2 The Flames' leading scorer is Rene Bourque (21 points). Enough said. Specials teams is in the middle of the pack. Must be the goaltending ' as in, Miikka Kiprusoff and his .921 save percentage.
8. 13-8-2 Decent (3-2) road trip, then a stumble at home Wednesday to the Flyers. Anze Kopitar is atop the league in scoring, but he was shut down in a loss to the Flyers.
9. 10-6-3 Leaves are falling, Wings are rising (7-2-1 in last 10). What else is new ? How about the Niklas among the list of top scoring defenseman being Kronwall (13 points) and not Lidstrom.
10. 14-7 The Penguins' last-second comeback and OT win against Bruins gets the defending champs back in the groove. Getting that Malkin guy back doesn't hurt.
11. 12-5-1 Nice win Wednesday in LA to start a West Coast swing for the Flyers, who had been 7-3 in their last 10. Steady as it gets for defenseman Chris Pronger ' 17 points in 18 games, a plus-14.
12. 11-6-2 Rick Nash is getting it done offensively (13 goals, 11 assists) for the Blue Jackets, but a minus-7 rating? Calder winner Steve Mason, with a horrific 3.67 GAA and .879 save percentage, is being badly outplayed by Mathieu Garon (2.46, .923).
13. 8-4-6 The talent is starting to shine in the Sunshine State. All those who said Lightning goalie Antero Niittymaki would post anything near a 1.93 GAA and .939 save percentage, please step forward.
14. 8-6-7 It's Matt Moulson time on the Island. His 10 goals rank as tops on the team. Number 1 pick John Tavares leads the team and all NHL rookies in scoring (19 points in 21 games). Gritty win against the B's.
15. 10-6-1 Ilya Kovalchuk returns, and the Thrashers take flight. Maxim Afinogenov (17 points in 17 games) was a nice under-the-radar free agent signing. In goal, Ondrej Pavelec (.917 SP) has been solid. You knew that, right?
16. 11-9-1 The Blueshirts are fading after a fast start, just 4-6 in their last 10. Rookie defensemen Michael Del Zotto (15 points) and Matt Gilroy (19 minutes a game) are still playing big roles.
17. 9-5-6 No one dances into securing one standings point like the Stars. Just don't lose in 60 minutes, baby. Second-year winger James Neal already has 11 goals.
18. 12-9 Ilya Bryzgalov (2.04 GAA) and a veteran defense keep things level for the Coyotes in the desert. Offense still is a problem. Two defensemen, Ed Jovanovski and Adrian Aucoin, are among the team's point leaders. Not a good thing.
19. 11-10-0 Meandering along at .500 is not where the Canucks want to be, but playing without Roberto Luongo in goal for two weeks makes it not so bad.
20. 10-8-1 They're starting to find the right chord in Music City, as the Preds are 7-3 in their last 10. Solid second season for goalie Pekka Rinne (2.40 GAA, .914 SP)
21. 9-6-3 The Senators are not the power they once were. But they're no pushover either. Daniel Alfredsson is generating his usual point per game (19 points, 18 games), but Johnathan Cheechoo (1 goal) is hardly making fans forget about Dany Heatley.
22. 8-8-4 The Bruins have been treading water until their top-line players return, but that project is just about complete. Considering the scoring woes and stretches of lackluster play, .500 is not a bad place from which to get back into winning form.
23. 10-11-1 Looking for offense, the Habs added Brian Gionta, Mike Cammalleri and Scott Gomez. The result? Tomas Plekanec leads the team in scoring. Defensively, Roman Hamrlik sets the tone, logging a team-high 25:26 of ice time. Au revoir.
24. 8-9-2 You could do a lot worse than counting on Panthers goalie Tomas Vokoun (.921 SP) to carry you into the playoffs. You probably could do a lot better than expecting leading scorer Steven Reinprecht (15 points) to do the same. Just saying.
25. 7-12-2 Those boring wins under former coach Jacques Lemaire are not looking so bad now for the Wild. Derek Boogaard is still looking for his first point of the season. To the extent he looks for points.
26. 6-10-3 Who would have thought that trading monster Chris Pronger and other key defenders would result in an awful defensive team. Couldn't see that one coming. Corey Perry's current 12-game point streak (17 points) is the best in the league this season. It could win him a trip to the Vancouver Olympics.
27. 9-10-3- A third-period rally allowed the Oilers to end a four-game losing streak Wednesday. It was just the third win for Edmonton in the last 13 games. Much-maligned offer sheet signee Dustin Penner finally is showing his worth, leading the team in scoring (23 points).
28. 3-11-5 Toronto still is waiting for that Phil Kessel infusion (5 goals, 3 assists in 7 games) to lead to wins. The Leafs are just 2-5 since No. 81 jumped into the lineup. Then again, they have twice as many wins with him as without.
29. 6-8-4 The hottest team in the league after December last season is frozen in a bad place so far this year. Fewest goals scored in the league ' on a team with Keith Tkachuk, Paul Kariya, Andy McDonald and Brad Boyes? Them's the Blues.
30. 3-12-5 The Hurricanes are heading south, probably farther than Aaron Ward (minus-11) had in mind.

John Hockenberry Decides to Come to the ADA Party
"As a man who has spent well over half of his life in a wheelchair with a permanent spinal cord injury, I can say that my feelings about this landmark law have generally been negative" writes Takeaway host John Hockenberry in that program's blog. But on the 20th anniversary of the measure designed to make transit, public accommodations, and buildings more accessible, Hockenberry decides to come to the celebration anyway.
"So call me a grump. Call me late to the party. I have to say that after 2 decades, it's 'Happy Birthday, ADA,' from this beneficiary. There's a long way to go, but in my rear view mirror I can see how far we've come.
