I had Jury Duty today and in between the long boring hours of sitting in the jury room waiting to be called for service, I took advantage of any breaks to go outside, iPhone in hand, to take photos of the onset of autumn's color palate. I was in the neighborhood of Kew Gardens right off of Queens Boulevard and it was raining but, that didn't deter me on my quest. Behind the court-house there was a lovely little wooded area where I wandered around during a thirty minute morning break balancing my umbrella as I searched for and took images of, Mother Nature's magical transformation.
Happily, we had a two-hour lunch break and I took advantage of that time to discover what was across Queens Boulevard. I wound up on Austin Street. A quiet little oasis lined with beautiful houses and gardens with lots of trees and bushes. I busied myself keeping an eye out for splashes of red, yellow and brown and leaves just starting to turn from green to gold. There was a tree that wore a sweater of colored mosses and a large sodden leaf with a rainbow of colors spreading across its shiny face. Because the day was overcast, it provided a diffused light that made the colors pop and the rain droplets shine like jewels.
I had a few more minutes before I had to go back to resume the "wait" so, I paid a visit to an old red #7 subway car that was on display adjacent to the court-house and is apparently a mini-transit museum. I then went back around the court-house to capture a few puddle shots before returning to the silence and tedium of the jury room.
I never did get on a case and at 3:00pm was set free for another four years, Yahoo!

I HAVE been the main Basingstoke Town reporter for the last eight years, and it's fair to say that disappointment has over-ridden excitement for most of that period.
A few dramatic weeks in 2012 aside, Town have spent the entire time I have been covering them as a low to mid-table side in the Conference South.
Interest and crowds have dwindled as the years have gone on - but a bold move by head of marketing Simon Hood has suddenly resulted in the club being the talk of non-league football.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the club have entered a one-year partnership with Sky Sports' popular Saturday morning football programme, Soccer AM.
The club have agreed to rename the Camrose, with their ground being known as the Soccer AM Stadium next season, and in exchange, they will be featured regulary on the show.
The announcement immediately became the talk of the Town, with more than 4,000 people reading the article on this site on Wednesday alone.
There has not been any talk of money changing hands, but that statistic alone is evidence that the deal could be worth a fortune for Town in terms of publicity. Hopefully, that can be turned into increased crowds and additional sponsorship deals.
I was a little concerned that the old guard would be very upset by the absence of the word Camrose, but so far my fears seem to have been unfounded and there has been nothing but support for the move.
Hood, who only took over as head of marketing earlier this year, should be very proud of this deal.
I'm guessing now, but I would imagine that it was him who came up with and approached the Soccer AM bosses with the idea.
It's a masterstroke that could help the club for years to come, and I'm certainly more excited about the forthcoming season because of it.
Germany, worthy World Cup winners
THE World Cup sadly came to an end on Sunday, but it's hard to argue that the Germans didn't deserve to win it.
They were the best side over the course of the tournament, and while they lack outstanding individuals like Messi and Ronaldo, they came together to form a fantastic team.
Many observers have pointed out that this might be because five of the starting 11 (six if you include Sami Khedira, who was injured in the warm-up) were in the under-21 side that won the European title in 2009.
People like Stuart Pearce have been using this as an example of why England should focus more on under-21 football, but it's an arguement that I'm sick of listening to.
Those six players have made the transition to the senior team because they are exceptional talents, not because they got experience at under-21 level.
England were runners-up to Germany in that European Championship, but just one player who featured in the final, James Milner, was in the squad for the World Cup.
That has been used as an example of how England are failing to bring players through. It's an arguement that has some weight to it, but there are several mitigating factors.
For a start, the only reason Joe Hart didn't play in that final was because of a suspension, while Theo Walcott would undoubtedly have been at the World Cup were it not for injury. That means that three players have made their mark on the senior team.
It's fair to say that the careers of Micah Richards, Kieran Gibbs, Adam Johnson and Jack Rodwell have stalled since 2009. All four of them are undoubtedly talented enough to have been involved in Brazil this summer.
Gibbs has had a hard time with injuries, so we'll let him off, but the other three have something in common - Manchester City.
Richards was already there, while Johnson and Rodwell have since made big-money moves there. All three struggled to make an impact or even get on the pitch ahead of the club's galaxy of stars.
More importantly though, let's not forget that England were beaten 4-0 in that final by the Germans.
Even if they had fulfilled their potential, are we really saying that Richards, Gibbs and Rodwell would have been as good as Hummels, Boateng and Ozil?
They are decent players, but they would never have got to the level of the Germans.
It is an amazing crop of players produced by the German system. Rather than concentrating on making sure youngsters compete at under-21 level, it's far more important that we get coaching standards up at youth level.
That's where world-beaters are made.

An analyst thinks that Google's prominence in search will allow it to climb up the value chain in other highly profitable areas.
Analysts want to see what the next big thing is going to be from Google. Sure Google does a brisk business with advertising against search, but what other area of their business has real revenue growth potential?
Google's (goog) ITA acquisition has Bank of America/Merrill Lynch's Justin Post thinking that Google may be looking at product search as on such area:
These changes are transforming Google into a more competitive, closer-to-the-transaction eCommerce platform, with the potential benefit of: 1) bettering traffic share gains and 2) improving conversion rates (up to 30% in some formats), leading to higher CPCs.
How much could Google make? Post thinks that squeezing eCommerce intermediaries out of their referral fees could net Google as much as $1-2 billion annually over the next three years out of the rapidly expanding $10 billion global market.
<!-- more -->
Google's Product search product takes any of the millions of Google queries daily and matches it to various products in their database. If the user is interested in buying that product, Google can make a percentage.
While Google doesn't currently rank results by what kind of commission they would receive, they could potentially start to do this, increasing their revenue from product search.
Post notes:
Product Search has evolved to become the number one comparison shipping site. While Product Search has the potential to provide incremental monetization of $200 to $300 million per year, it is more likely that Google will continue to use Product Search data feeds to help funnel merchant data to higher value ad formats.
So even if Google doesn't make any money on product searches, the eyeballs they get are still worth significant money in advertising.
Google's Q2 Earnings Report will be on webcast later this week.

2015 Winners!
Congratulations to the team behind 3cixty, who have won this year's Semantic Web Challenge.
Well done too to all the finalists who presented their systems at ISWC 2015 in Bethlehem, PA.
Challenge Criteria
The Challenge is defined in terms of minimum requirements and additional desirable features that submissions should exhibit. The criteria for the Semantic Web Challenge 2015 are described on the Criteria page.
How to Participate
The following information must be provided:
Please submit the description of your system (including the appendix) via EasyChair.
Descriptions (including the appendix) will be published in the form of online proceedings on the Semantic Web Challenge website.
Important Dates
Judging and Prizes
In addition to submitting a system description and working demo, all participants are required to present their systems at the posters and demos session during the first day of the ISWC conference. A jury consisting of experts from industry and academia will be appointed to judge the systems at the conference. In the first round of judging, the jury will take into consideration the descriptions submitted, the online demos, and the presentation at the conference, in order to determine an initial set of up to eight finalists. The entries will be scored by the judges and the highest scoring entries will then proceed to the second round of the competition. The split between the two tracks will be determined according to the proportion of entries in each track.
The finalists will proceed to the second round of the competition, where they will have to present their work in an open session on the second day of the conference. They will have a slot of approximately 15 minutes to present their work. The judges will be present and will evaluate the systems in more detail, according to the specific criteria detailed on the website. The judges will then meet in private to discuss the entries and to determine the winners.
A monetary prize will be provided to the winners, along with publicity for their work. There will normally be three winners of the Open Track and one winner of the Big Data track. However, the organisers reserve the right to merge the tracks in the event of insufficient submissions in either category. The winners will be announced and prizes awarded during the Closing Ceremony of ISWC. The winners also have the chance to submit their work to a Special Issue of the Journal of Web Semantics.
Advisory Board for 2015

*Its Stylish Along With Great Sound Quality...
*2 To 1 Jack Converter Is Awesome Coz It Can Also Be Used With Mobile, On The Whole Nice Product.. :)
P.S: As Usual Flipkart Service Was Awesome.....
I recently purchased "Screen Ward 69318 for Apple iPod Touch 4" it was mentioned in the product page that it was a pack of 5 but when I opened the package to my shock I found only one and that to was not in a good shape. Since they had only 10 day replacement warranty I couldn't claim anything.
So beware guys before buying from this seller. Always open the package as soon as you receive the package and check for the contents if you buy from this seller. Couldn't blame Flipkart for this but they should remove sellers like this from their site so that they don't spoil Flipkart's great reputation. They don't have a minus star rating here so I'm giving 1 Star for the seller but they are not even worth that single star.

About the Book
this book is a collection of sketches done on location in Algonquin Park, Ontario over the period of May to August in the summer of 2008. My technique involves the use of conte, mechanical pencil, drawing pencil and etchings to produce a unique semi-impressionist look. The sketches are of "real" scenes while camped on the shores of the very beautifull and large Opeongo Lake and as well some other lakes i portaged into. For myself i like to think that these sketches portray both the reality of Opeongo and its Spirit and mysticism. It is an incredible place and i invite you to explore it with this book. And i hope that inspires you to journey onto the lakes of Algonquin itself.
About the Creator
i do a lot of abstract art plus photography. i spend most of the summer in Algonquin Park which was the inspiration and source of these sketches. i also winter camp as well.

Huguette Despault May Chris, Thank you for sharing this work on Blurb. I really enjoyed it. Years ago I visited Algonquin and have always wanted to return. It is indeed a very special place.

If a company has produced an event in Italy and part of the cost for an event is the hire of the venue - restraunt/gallery etc.
From my recollection the equivalent VAT shoyuld be charged as the normal rules do not apply to land.
Is this still the case? Or should they not be charged the VAT in the first place.
If VAT is charged, can this be claimed back on the ec vat refund claim or does it fall outside of this and you can not have the vat back on venue hire?
If you can point me in the right direction or have the answer that would be great.
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Exhibition outside UK
There is a recent Business Brief at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/briefs/vat/brief2212.htm
and you will also want to check Notice 741A.
You will need to take advice from Italy but it likely that if your client is hiring a restaurant or gallery there will be VAT charged. Unfortunately the UK interpreatation as pointed out by Les may well and will most likely differ as you are only hiring a venue.

I must say I'm enjoying the heck out of this series, from both the standpoints of writing and artwork. Particularly liking the addition of Max Schreck (sorry, I've forgotten the character's actual name, and he wasn't mentioned by name once in this issue) to Vampi's supporting cast, and wouldn't mind him sticking around, if only in an occasional role, once the current storyline concludes.
Looking forward to Dawn/Vampirella (issue #1 out next week) and Feary Tales as well.

The main plot is between Lestat, Jesse, and Akasha. There are also several subplots involving David, Maharet, and Marius - each is connected to one or more of the main characters. Akasha and her mate were the Original Vampires. Vampires worshiped them as Gods - they were the source of all Vampirism. To every Vampire they were the Creators. After countless centuries of life they'd lost the will to carry on, they'd become Living Statues. Marius had eventually become their caretaker. At the beginning of the movie Lestat was intomed in a crypt. He too had lost the will to carry on. Eternity had become too much to handle, so he'd slept for several generations. Eventually he sensed that society had shifted, he found a reason to rise. He turned himself into a Rock Star, declaring to the whole planet that he was a Vampire. Naturally society as a whole didn't take that seriously. As a Rock Star he was worshiped by countless fans. He also gained an endless supply of prey. Fans came to him, not realizing their danger until it was too late. Jessie was part of a secret society. One that recorded Vampire Activity, but was sworn to never interfere. David was her mentor, and a father figure. David had been studying Marius for many years, unaware that Marius had been doing the same with him. After the final battle Marius comes for David, presumably to turn him. Through David Jessie gained access to Lestat's journal. That journal told how Marius made Lestat a Vampire. How Lestat had eventually found Akasha. For the first time since Marius had cared for her, Akasha moved. She offered him her wrist - her blood. A tiny taste of her blood had made him quite powerful. Jessie became obsessed with Lestat. She found him in London, and followed him to his concert in Death Valley. The chemistry between those two was beautiful. She wanted to become a Vampire, she wanted to be with Lestat forever. She was also connect to an ancient Vampiress - Maharet. Maharet had been made by Akasha herself. Before being turned Maharet had born a child. Even as a Vampire she'd taken care of that child. She'd followed each generation of her descendants. As a child Jessie had believed Maharet was her aunt. Near the end of the movie Jessie learned the full truth. Lestat's music, boldness, and defiance had spread across the entire planet. Eventually it was enough to wake Akasha. She took the King's Blood, absorbed his power. Then she came for Lestat, wanting him for her new King. She and Lestat shared a night together. Metaphorically feasting on each others flesh, and literally feeding on each others blood. Akasha's blood gave Lestat the power to walk in daylight. Maharet and Marius allied themselves with several other ancient vampires. They were terrified of fighting Akasha. It wasn't just that they weren't sure they could beat her. They didn't know if the Vampire Species could survive without it's creator. When Akasha arrived with Lestat they refused to join her. She ordered Lestat to kill Jessie, to punish Marharet. When Lestat demanded his crown, she didn't hesitate. Akasha had believed Jessie's death would solidify her hold on Lestat, instead he'd broken it. With her veins open, Akasha was vulnerable. The ancients all attacked. 2 died in battle. Then Marharet finished her. Marharet took the last of Akasha's blood - she became a living statue, the New Queen of the Vampires. Afterwards Lestat gave Jessie his blood. The movie ends with the two of them heading off into eternity together.
Akasha Wow!
i luv it ! .. i have it on dvd & i watch it like 3 times a month yes i'm a huge vampire fan & i love the way stuart towsend played the roll as the vampire lestat! & the soundtrack is awesome !
Some of ya might not like this movie but i love it from beginning to end and has a great soundtrack too!!
Director Mike Rhymer should have read the book before beginning the film. The cinematography is wonderful as well as the locations where the film was shot and great soundtrack. I understand he wanted to focus more on Lestat, but the main story of the twins, Enkil and Akasha were never properly delved into. If you are a fan of Anne Rice's novels, I would not recommend this movie for you. Characters not properly portrayed or just simply missing are a major disappointment as well as the origin of who made Lestat into a vampire. Save your time and money.
There are certain truth's in a revolving pop-culture world. For example, to destroy the integrity of the work to gather dollars from the masses. And the term ''sold out'' or ''sell out'' can apply to this particular type of blatant irresponsibility. It was once understood that Anne Rice challenged the move to let Tom Cruise play her beloved Lestat; a move that proved to be an exceptional one. What happened this go-around? Stuart Townsend doesn't have the range, versatility, or skill of an accomplished actor like Cruise who redefines ''performance'' and ''believability'' to his characters. Cruise also has the perfectionism to study both the script and the book to set a foundation for the character. Townsend makes a mockery of Lestat from the very beginning and gives the feel of a ''Crow: City of Angels'' feel. Maybe he researched Vincent Perez's character, or he took some pointers from the supporting actor who plays Marius. Either way, the integrity of Lestat is destroyed. Aaliyah is another example of miscasting. While you sit through this movie, one tends to wonder whether Anne Rice has any creative control over her works. As an author, it should be your sworn duty to protect that which you have labored, regardless of the dollar signs flashing from studio executives. I'm sure that cult enthusiasts will label this movie as a high point, due mainly to setting and Gothic tone of the movie in the same way they flocked to ''The Crow'' and ''Blade'' sequels. Bear in mind, however, that the pop attitude to this film has left the story high and dry. It's a long way off from the book and the engrossing, engaging, and exciting (the 3 E's which every storyteller should adhere to) ''Interview with the Vampire.'' In layman's terms: Leonard Nimoy was Mr. Spock, William Shatner was Captain Kirk...get me? Cruise, Pitt, and Slater pulled off a film of a lifetime with the first one, now Justin Timberlake is Mr. Spock and Freddie Prinze Jr. is Captain Kirk. Robert Eldridge is the author of: ''Amber Spirit: Poems & Stories'' (Hats Off Books, 2001) and the dark poetic book, ''Offbeat'' (Writers Club Press, 2002.)
The book was kind of different from the movie, but it was both GREAT! The movie was awesome because of it's soundtrack and ofcourse, let's not forget our beautiful Lestat the rocker played by Stuart Townsend. I think he gave Lestat a new persona, which I can't say is bad -- it was actually HOT! Tom Cruise was so great, but _this_ Lestat was VERY different, and I must say, he rocked in the movie! I reccomend the book AND the movie to all of the vampire lovers out there!
This is the best movie, ice seen it 15 times and plan to buy it...someday. The movie also has most of my favorite songs and bands, like Static-x, Kidneytheives and Jonathan Davis from Korn.
This has to be the BEST movie i have ever seen! STUART TOWNSEND has to be the HOTTEST guy ever! That just made it much much better! The plot of this movie was just wonderful, i cant stress this enough with how much i loved this movie!
Stuart townsend made this movie so fantastic, its the best movie to ever be made, he played a sexy seductive vampire, with might i add a very cool name :) Aaliyah played a good part in this movie, as the queen of all vampires ''Akasha'' it rocks.
so what if the movie is nothing like the book? anne rice didn't make a screenplay and i watched this movie not to read a book...if you like the book, then just read...
The queen of the damed is the best movie ever!! I asked 24 people who actually saw the movie and all said it was great. One said '' Best movie of movie history. Anne Rice must have a gift of writing good books like these. We are lucky people actually produced this.'' If you have not seen it, Make sure you see it A.S.A.P!!!!!!!!!!!! :)PS-Make sure you like Blink-182!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!mark,TOM,tRaViS is cool
Though it took almost a decade for a sequel to be made for Interview With the Vampire, Queen of the Damned was well worth the wait. Understandably, license was taken with this film to make it more commercially appealing to the general audience, but it does capture all the atmosphere and uniqueness of Anne Rice's novels. Stuart Townsend was amazing as Lestat. This film is a must see...let's just hope it doesn't take another decade for the next installment in The Vampire Chronicles to reach the silver screen!
When i heard they were making a sequal to my favorite movie of all time(Interview with a Vampire) i was so excited. After two years of waiting the movie got released. I loved the movie from beginning to end, and i loved all the actor's. The shining star of the movie was the great late r&b songtress Aaliyah. Her performance of Queen Akasha was one of the best vampire acting i've seen. The way she enter's the movie, makes your blood turn cold. She has to be the most beautiful vampire character in any movie by far.The ending departs from the book a little, mainly because the book version is to long for a movie, but none the less it's really impressive. It's so sad that we had to lose such a gifted young person as Aaliyah. She died last summer in a plane crash at age 22. Her two upcoming roles in Matrix 2 and 3 would have made her a superstar and a household name. If your a fan of Anne Rice, Interview with a Vampire, or vampire movies in general, go out and see this movie.You will not be disapointed, and it might be the best vampire movie you will see.
I loved Queen of the Damned. Aaliyah was great. Everything about this movie was perfect. Stuart Townsend was great as Lestat. The music fit the mood of the movie 100%.
If you are over 21 and do not actually WANT to be a vampire SKIP THIS MOVIE! I am a long-time huge fan of Anne Rice, and that is the only reason I rented this. Just let me tell you that the movie went downhill VERY fast right after they say that Marius sired Lestat. In what alternate universe did THAT happen? Pandora is NOT from India, why does Armand look like Lars from Metallica? Why did they introduce Maharet and leave out the entire Legend of the Twins? Why is Jesse begging to be made a vampire all through the movie? Why didn't I turn it off? Because Aaliyah. This movie is just awful awful awful. I'm not sure what all the other people who rated this so highly were smoking. Aaliyah did her role a great justice, and that is the only redeeming quality. Put the movie down and step back from the shelf please...
I just love the movie Interview with the Vampire, so before I watched Queen of the Damned, I was psyched to see if it was as good as Interview was. Guess what, it's not. For starters, Tom Cruise did a fantastic job at protraying Lestat in Interview. He had the act and the look down. When I saw Stuart Townsend as Lestat, I was deeply disappointed and depressed. Townsend was not the right actor to portray Lestat. His look was totally wrong and he acted like another vampire, not Lestat. Lestat was blond in the novels and Cruise accomplished that for Interview, but Townsend's hair looked at times too brown or blond with black roots.Why not have actor Paul Walker play Lestat, at least he's blond enough. I was also disappointed at Aaliyah's character. In my opinion, she did an okay job, but her character was hardly in it. She didn't come into the picture until mid way through the film. I found the other vampires looked too obvious. Interview made the vampires look at least a little human. I found this film too hard to watch. I wanted to turn it off and put in Interview with the Vampire in the dvd player instead. I rather watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead of Queen of the Damned again. Does that answer your question?
I ENJOYED THIS MOVE ALOT I DIDN''T SEE IT IN THE THEATER BUT DID SEE IT ON DVD AND ITS WONDERFUL AND SCARY AND IF THATS NOT ENOUGH Aaliyah ADDS THE OTHER 10% TO THE ENTIRE FILM. R.I.P. Aaliyah Love 4 ever
I loved this movie. I can't stop watching it. It is really, really good. If you are into vampires I think you will love this. This is one of the best movies I have seen. You won't be dissapointed unless u are mad because it is almost nothing like the book. It is good though. The way the acting was done was excellent. I would buy it.

This is not the first prosecution to arise out of poor security practices on Acxiom's file transfer protocol server (FTP).
I have no love for spam, but the spam was a side issue here. Is anyone holding Acxiom accountable for poor practices? I'm no security expert, but it seems that Acxiom has some liability / accountability here too. Anyone know if that has been pursued?
Axciom "says it operates the world's largest repository of consumer data, and counts major banks, credit card companies and the U.S. government among its customers."
The amount of data collection happening out there already makes me feel vulnerable to who knows what.
Let's hope who gets the message? Spammers? Hackers?
I wish it was a pure case of e-mail spammer being sent to jail, but this sounds more like a hacking case. When's the last time you were hacked versus being spammed?
No more than I hold my neighbors accountable for their house being broken into and their widescreen TV stolen.
Yeah... but if you are paying your neighbor to hold your sensitive data and they don't take appropriate measures to protect that data, then it's a different issue. Someone is paying that neighbor (Acxiom) to hold the data.
...Unless they collect it on their own and then sell it, but I'm not really sure which is which. Even so... if your enighbor is collecting data on you and then gives it to someone who uses it to harm you, would there be some type of issue in that case?

Try to look at the big picture--if the execs or employees were prosecuted, everyone would be discouraged from pursuing such a business. And what's more, the big guys would be penalized for being big and taking punches--even if they do a good job overall warding such attempts.
I guess I see a different picture. I seriously doubt that " .. everyone would be discouraged from pursuing such a business." I believe some folks would come along and build a better (safer) mousetrap .. so to speak.
"And what's more, the big guys would be penalized for being big and taking punches-"
Eh? They have stepped up and admitted they were to blame. I doubt very seriously if the big guys are "being big". Prosecution would be " .. punches .." and I doubt seriously if it would be voluntary.
"-even if they do a good job overall warding such attempts."
"Good job overall .."
How much data loss is too much? How many billion records were stolen? How much/has any data has been stolen that has not been disclosed/discovered?
"No more than I hold my neighbors accountable for their house being broken into and their widescreen TV stolen.'
Incredibill, I *tend* to agree, but the analogy you used is not so good.
It would be more like if Brett asked me to keep the take from Pubcon in my safe for awhile, but I left the key to my house under the mat and the combination to my safe on a post-it on my monitor.
Do I bear some responsibility? Yes .. especially if Brett or any of the moderators can catch me before I make it across the border!
"If society didn't have lazy scum we wouldn't need locks."
Agree .. 110%

People often describe the view from Miyajima Island as one of the most beautiful in Japan. A softly curved Torii, a scarlet figure similar to the symbol pi, rises out of the water. Its calm background: layered mountains and the ferryboats that cross from Hiroshima.
A friend once invited me to write about a place I loved and how it inspired me, while this week's #FriFotos chose "monuments" as its theme. Both invitations made me think of the same spot. This quiet corner of the world, the waterfront on Miyajima Island.
It's tranquil now, with its rows of stony lanterns and gently lapping shore, but in 1945 it witnessed one of the worst events in history. The Enola Gay baptised the world into a new level of fear and horror when it dropped the world's first atomic bomb, killing 80,000 in a single day and thousands more through injury and disease.
This horror became synonymous with the word Hiroshima itself.
Today's Hiroshima reveals a clean city with efficient trams, schoolchildren in uniform, shopkeepers, parks and all the trappings of a healthy, happy place.
The Peace Memorial Park uses monuments, rainbow origami and commemorative services not only to remember the dead but also to promote peace. The flame that burns doesn't blaze for vengeance and it doesn't seek retribution. It burns as a symbol of peace.
Across the water, on Miyajima Island, it's easy to get swept up in the congested tourist port, weighed down with geisha shoes, rice scoops and calligraphy-licked trinkets.
Yet when the sunlight fades, these monuments provide quiet inspiration.
And even a glimpse of peace.

Blake Burd, Trent Flanagan and Brayden Burd watch the anglers blastoff. (Mike Suchan photo)
Bass fishing fans come in all shapes and sizes.
Brothers Blake Burd, 14, and Brayden, 11, and friend Trent Flanagan, 14, had a 3:45 a.m. wakeup call before an hour and a half drive to from Collinsville to the 7 a.m. Classic launch in Grove.
It wasn't unusual that all of them said their favorite angler was Oklahoman Edwin Evers. But Flanagan has another connection – his mother's cousin is Shannon Evers, Edwin's wife.
With that connection, it's no surprise that this is the fifth Classic for Flanagan. His buddy Blake and his little brother were being initiated.
"We were going to take out a boat, but it's a little too chilly," said Blake, who added that they would begin fishing some tournaments this year.
The trio stayed relatively warm in their hunting clothes, and while it was old hat for Flanagan, they all said the experience was awesome. And they can't wait for the weigh-ins.

Good-bye to some not-so-old friends
For the last few months I've enjoyed using not one, but four great saws that aren't mine. Now the time has come for them to go back, and parting is indeed sweet sorrow.
One of the great things about being a woodworking writer is that you get to use and evaluate lots of tools. Some companies don't want them back once they've been evaluated. In those cases they end up going to work in my shop, are gifted to woodworking friends, or donated to a woodworking or technical school.
Most companies want them back, though, and that's the case with these four saws. You'll recall from my Aug. 7 blog ("New toys"), that I was working on a review article of track saws. As I mentioned then, I'd used them occasionally at shows but never really had the opportunity to put them to work extensively. That review article allowed me to do just that, and I loved them all, finding it difficult to choose a best one for the article.
Until something I've written is published, I hang on to everything related to it until the article or magazine actually hits the street – every note, photo, every computer file and e-mail, and the tools involved. Just in case there's a last minute need to redo something, I have everything right there. So, in the time I've been waiting for my track saw article to come out, those saws have still been in my shop. They haven't been languishing there, however. I've put them to work numerous times breaking down sheet stock for the projects in my birdhouse book as well as personal shop chores, and I'm really going hate to see them go.
Yeah, the saws, the half-dozen tracks the manufacturers sent, the various accessories (and all the boxes and packing materials, which I've had to keep) take up a lot of shop space I'll be glad to recover. But in the several months I've had them, I've been able to take a multifaceted – and lengthy – test drive of these machines few woodworkers ever dream of.
One thing is certain: A track saw is at the top of my tool wish list. With the exception of a full-size panel saw or a big slider, no other shop tool comes close for fast and efficient reduction of sheet goods. Although not in the budget at the moment with the holidays coming up, you can bet that some portion of the first big check I get in 2010 will go to the purchase of one.
Then, I'll not only be able to welcome a not-so-old friend back to my shop, but it'll be tax-deductible.
Till next time,

Pancake Batter
My husband prepares Saturday breakfast, so I stir up pancake batter and freeze it in quart-size freezer bags. I thaw a bag in the refrigerator on Friday night. The next day, he simply clips a corner off the bag and pours the batter onto a hot skillet. This method simplifies cleanup, too. —Christi Gillentine, Tulsa, Oklahoma

The Wallabies deserve greater credit than the 28-10 scoreline in Cape Town suggests. They were were far closer to the No.2 world ranking than the margin on the scoreboard
The All Blacks wrapped up their third successive Rugby Championship crown with a comprehensive 34-13 win over Argentina in La Plata.
Michael Hooper told it straight after the Wallabies' late-game collapse against South Africa, admitting "we couldn't keep up with them" as the Springboks powered home with three tries in the final eight minutes on Saturday.

The South Fork Tolt River is the smaller and lesser known (than the Cedar River) but still essential second supply watershed in SPU's freshwater supply system. Located in the foothills of the Cascades in east King County, it supplies about 30% of the drinking water for 1.3 million people in and around Seattle. Tolt River Watershed
The Cedar River Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is a 50-year, ecosystem-based plan that was prepared to address the declining populations of salmon, steelhead and other species of fish and wildlife in the Cedar River basin.
Prepared under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the plan is designed both to provide certainty for the City of Seattle's drinking water supply and to protect and restore habitats of 83 species of fish and wildlife that may be affected by the City of Seattle's water supply and hydroelectric operations on the Cedar River.

The Mets will roll out their new arms today and tomorrow, as both Francisco Rodriguez (today) and J.J. Putz (tomorrow) will meet the media.
Rodriguez will highlight a list of attendees at the club's holiday party for local kids. The party will be held at the Citi building in Long Island City.
Other attendees include Mike Pelfrey, John Maine and Jerry Manuel. Pelfrey will play Santa Claus, which, no matter what he looks like, should still prove significantly less bizarre than seeing him dressed in a one-piece swimsuit.
Anyway, K-Rod will hold a press conference around 10:45 a.m. The Q and A will be broadcast live on SNY and WFAN, so you can check it out there. It'll also be interesting to hear about how Maine's shoulder feels.
After the holiday party, the Mets won't be done. Putz will meet with reporters on Thursday at Citi Field. Obviously, he's made a few comments about pitching the eighth inning, but I'm curious to hear him expound upon what he's already said. Plus, apparently Putz is an engaging guy, but I don't think many fans in New York know anything about him.

Just when you thought you had explored every last corner of Georgetown and walked all of its historical streets, you might be pleased to learn that there is, quite literally, a whole new side of town waiting to be discovered. Beyond the shoreline that runs along Pengkalan Weld, Penang's other-worldly clan jetties jut out over the tidal mud flats and seem to exist in a completely different time and dimension.
The approach to the jetties is, to be fair, not all that inviting and involves crossing one of Georgetown's less pleasant roads, Pengkalan Weld, which serves the city's port and ferry terminal. It is noisy, dirty, and traffic-congested, and it may well send you fleeing back into the relative calm of Georgetown's side streets, but if you persevere and look beyond the rundown warehouses, tyre stalls and motorcycle repair workshops, you will find a collection of wooden-stilted boardwalks leading out over the sea, lined with whole communities of houses.
Six clan jetties, of varying sizes, ages and states of preservation, still exist in Penang, ranging from the sprawling community occupied by members of the Chew clan since the 1880s, to the far more recent Lee Jetty, built in the 1960s after the original was demolished. Some are well signposted, established tourist attractions, but others you will have to search quite hard to find.
Start at the southern end of Pengkalan Weld, opposite the junction with Gat Lebuh Melayu, where the Yeoh Jetty is located, and then work your way northwards via the Mixed Clan, Lee, Tan and Chew jetties, finishing at the Lim Jetty, the entrance to which is just beyond the Shell petrol station. You will soon discover for yourself that each of the jetties has a different character, and each boardwalk offers something new.
The jetties were originally uninhabited, and were simply a place to moor the sampan boats that ferried goods between the trading ships and the adjacent Weld Quay. The port employed coolie labour, made up of immigrants from southern China, to row the boats and haul the sacks and crates to the warehouses, and each jetty became associated with particular gangs of workers, who tended to group themselves according to surname.
From the 1880s the immigrants who could not afford houses on land, and who had nowhere else to stay, started to put up wooden, attap-thatched houses along their clan's jetties. These days, the descendents of those men still live here, and although the attap roofs have made way to corrugated zinc, and the modern conveniences of running water, electricity and satellite TV are now very apparent, it is still possible to get a sense of life as it must have existed in these unusual communities.
The star of the show, and without doubt the most rewarding and most photogenic of the jetties, is that inhabited by the Chews. Unfortunately, it is also the most commercialised and its main thoroughfare is lined with a touristy tat-fest of souvenir and ice cream stalls, but don't let that put you off. Take the first turning on the left and follow it round for a real taste of everyday life on what is – in effect – a mini village on stilts.
The narrow wooden walkway is lined by houses on both sides, but occasionally opens up to reveal luxuriant potted gardens, or views between the houses to the mud flats and sea beyond. As you wind your way past dustbins, household shrines, ancient bikes and washing lines, you get a real sense of everyday life that is far removed from the shophouse-lined streets of the rest of Georgetown.
Turn left towards the end of the walkway and rejoin the main thoroughfare, which looks out over the sea towards the Lim Jetty. Here you will find boats tethered, and at certain times of day you can see the fishermen offloading their catch. At the very end of the jetty is a modest yet brightly decorated clan temple, and views over the Straits to Butterworth on the mainland. As you head back to the shoreline along the main walkway, look out for the larger-than-life — and now slightly weathered — wall mural of two children in a boat, part of the Penang art trail.
It is important to remember that the jetties are living communities and not just a tourist attraction. If you wield your camera too obviously or too freely, you may risk offending the locals, although a smile and a few words of Hokkien go a long way and some people may even ask you to take photos, as was the case when we last visited. You should be fine as long as you respect people's privacy and don't stray beyond the thresholds, and if you stop along the way to observe and soak up the atmosphere, this really is one of Georgetown's most rewarding experiences.
If you have time, the Chew Jetty is at the start of the Penang art trail, which continues nearby on Lebuh Armenian. Alternatively, you could visit the famous Khoo Kong Si, also in the same area, or else follow Pengkalan Weld north past the ferry terminal towards Fort Cornwallis to see some of colonial British Penang.

To honor the life and work of Greta Wrolstad (1981-2005), author of Night is Simply a Shadow (2013) and Notes on Sea & Shore (2010), Tavern Books invites submissions of new poetry collections through The Wrolstad Contemporary Poetry Series.
This series exists to champion exceptional literary works from young women poets through a book publication in The Living Library, the Tavern Books catalog of innovative poets ranging from first-time authors and neglected masters to Pulitzer Prize winners and Nobel Laureates. The Wrolstad Contemporary Poetry Series is open to any woman aged 40 years or younger who is a US citizen, regardless of publication history.
○ A $1,000 advance on book sales
○ A working relationship with an editorial staff and publisher
○ Publication of their book in both paperback and hardcover editions
○ National distribution through Small Press Distribution
● The Wrolstad Contemporary Poetry Series is only open to female poets aged 40 years or younger. Entrants must be US citizens.
● Manuscripts must be previously unpublished full-length collections of original poetry written in English (40 pages of text, minimum). Portions of the manuscript may have appeared elsewhere (such as chapbooks and literary journals), but the manuscript as a whole must be previously unpublished.
● Manuscripts may be submitted simultaneously to other publishers. However, we ask that you notify Tavern Books immediately if your manuscript is accepted elsewhere.
Reading Fee
There is a $25 reading fee. Checks should be made payable to "Tavern Books" with "Wrolstad" written in the memo line. Please, include your check with your submission materials. Reading fees are nonrefundable.
Manuscript Preparation
● Manuscripts should be a minimum of 40 pages of text, typed on one side only, with no more than one poem included on a page. Poems should be single spaced using a standard 12-point serif font (Times, Times New Roman, Garamond). Only typed, legible copies are acceptable. Manuscripts should be held together using a binder clip; please, do not staple or bind your manuscript in any way.
● Include a 1-page cover letter with your name, date of birth, mailing address, phone number, and email address. This cover letter should include the title of your manuscript, your author bio, relevant publication history, and a brief description of your book (optional).
● Include a title page listing the title of your manuscript.
● Include a Table of Contents.
● Include your last name and book title in the header of each manuscript page.
● Number all manuscript pages.
● If applicable, an acknowledgments page listing previous and forthcoming journal publications for poems may be included in the manuscript.
● Include a self-addressed stamped postcard. We will send this to you acknowledging receipt of your manuscript.
● Include a self-addressed stamped #10 envelope for notification of the Series selection.
● Using 1 envelope, please send 1 copy of your manuscript, check, and all submission materials to: Tavern Books | Union Station | 800 NW 6th Avenue #255 | Portland, Oregon 97209
● Submissions that do not follow these guidelines will not be considered for publication.
All manuscripts will be recycled after a book has been selected for publication. Each year's Series selection will be announced during the month of June in our e-newsletter, over social media, and in print publications.
Am I eligible for the Series if I have previously published a book?
Yes, you are eligible. The manuscript you submit to the Series, however, must be previously unpublished.
Is this a book prize?
No. We want lasting and meaningful relationships with our authors, which is why all of our books are beautifully designed, offset printed in both paperback and hardcover editions, and kept in print. We seek to publish multiple books by our authors, which seldom occurs at presses that run book prizes. We refuse to follow the current trend of print-on-demand and short-run-digital printing. We are actively building a diverse catalog of innovative poets who represent both the past and the present of our literary landscape. Tavern Books was founded by poets, translators, and designers, and everything we do reflects our devotion to the literary arts and print culture.
Why is there a $25 reading fee?
Your fee will help offset the editorial and administrative expenses involved in selecting a book for publication. We do not use outside readers or screeners—all book manuscripts submitted to the Series will be carefully read and considered by the Tavern Books editorial staff.
Who picks your books for publication? Is there a guest judge?
All books in the Series are read and selected by the Tavern Books editorial staff. We seek to publish multiple books by our authors, which seldom occurs at presses that use the guest judge/book prize format.
Do you publish one type of book or poet? Is there a particular "school" of poetry you're looking for?
No. We publish authors who write in their own voices, who follow their own paths, and whose visions are singular. Our catalog, The Living Library, contains books by a wide range of poets writing from various literary traditions. We're not interested in literary trends. We publish books that move us.
