Sunday's launch of a navigation satellite was the 12th flight of a Long March rocket in 2010, eclipsing the record for most Chinese space missions in a single year.
This weekend's flight broke an annual record China set in 2008, when it conducted 11 launches of human, scientific and military payloads.
This year, the country's burgeoning space program has launched 12 rockets, all successfully.
Payloads include four Beidou navigation satellites launched in January, July, August and October. China plans to continue a rapid pace of Beidou flights over the next two years, eventually reaching an intermediate stage of deployment by 2012, when it will provide positioning services over China and neighboring regions.
China will have launched 14 Beidou satellites by 2012 to achieve the localized coverage in the Asia-Pacific region, according to official government sources.
Three Long March flights have orbited Yaogan military reconnaissance satellites, beginning in March when a trio of spacecraft blasted off on a Long March 3C rocket.
Two more Yaogan payloads, believed to be electro-optical or night-vision radar spy satellites, were sent into space in August and September.
State-owned Chinese media outlets report the Yaogan satellites accomplish scientific experiments, survey land resources, estimate crop yields and contribute to natural disaster response efforts. But observers believe the spacecraft are actually operated by the Chinese military.
Long March rockets in June and October sent Shijian technology demonstration payloads into orbit.
The June launch of Shijian 12 started a groundbreaking rendezvous test that reached a crescendo in August, when it approached another Chinese satellite. China released no official account of the demo, but independent analysts using U.S. military tracking data concluded the spacecraft must have passed within about 600 feet of each other.
Other boosters launched a Tianhui mapping satellite, the Chinasat 6A television broadcasting spacecraft and the Chang'e 2 probe to the moon.
Chang'e 2 launched Oct. 1 and reached the moon five days later.
At least three more satellites are planned to launch this year, potentially extending the record to around 15 missions by the end of December.
China is preparing another Long March rocket to haul a Fengyun weather satellite to orbit as soon as Nov. 4. Another communications satellite and Beidou navigation platform could follow later in November and December.
The pace of Beidou launches, coupled with increased activity in China's human space program, should continue a frenzied launch manifest through 2011.
China is testing the core module of a mini-space station named Tiangong 1 for launch late next year. Future Chinese astronaut crews will visit the complex starting in 2012, Hooray for NASA's EPOXI flyby of Comet Hartley 2! according to state media.
This year's record launch rate comes as NASA and China open a joint dialogue on potential space cooperation. NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden visited China last month, and his hosts afforded him unprecedented access to human spaceflight facilities.
Although the talks did not include discussions on specific partnerships, according to NASA, the visit provided a basis for further dialogue.

Magic for Harry Potter fans: JK Rowling's novels go on sale in e-book form
LONDON (AP) ' At last, Harry Potter's adventures are available electronically.
The seven novels about J.K. Rowling's boy wizard are for sale on the author's Pottermore website from Tuesday.
The books are currently available in English, in U.S. and U.K. editions. The site says French, Italian, German and Spanish editions will follow in the coming weeks. The books are available only through the Pottermore site, which says they are compatible with major electronic e-readers.
Rowling for years resisted making her work available in digital form.
The whole Pottermore site, which combines elements of computer games, a social network and an online store, opens in early April.
Its launch was delayed after testing with a limited number of users showed changes were needed.

The storms packed winds estimated at more than 80mph (almost 130kph).
In Michigan, a tornado knocked down trees and power lines and ripped the roofs of a number of houses in Kentwood, just south of Grand Rapids.
The American Red Cross opened a shelter at a Kentwood recreation centre.
All six people who were hurt suffered minor injuries.
Several tornadoes were reported and some homes were damaged when storms passed through central Iowa.
Mary Nielsen, a resident in the small town of Reinbeck, was home with her husband, who needs a wheelchair to move, when the tornado struck.
"He was laying on the couch and it all went around him - the ceiling and everything," she said.
"Not one thing fell on him," adding it was "a miracle" they were both alive.

Nokia pays Qualcomm, but IP dispute continues
Post a comment
LONDON In the latest twist to the long running patent disputes between Nokia and Qualcomm Inc., the Finnish phone maker said Thursday (April 5) it is paying Qualcomm $20 million for patent licenses covering the second quarter 2007.
However, Nokia stressed the current deal does not extend, and is not related to, the old agreement. Rather, it is based on the licenses that Qualcomm has agreed and provided through the European Telecommunication Standardization Institute (ETSI).
The companies have had patent license agreements since 1992 and Nokia's obligations to pay license fees under the old agreements partially expire on April 9, 2007. However, they have also been fighting each other in courts around the world over the past few years about the validity and charges for their respective intellectual property.
So far they have not managed to find a resolution to the spat over the patents, set to expire on 9 April.
"As we continue to negotiate the new cross-license agreement, Nokia views this payment as fair and reasonable compensation for the use of relevant Qualcomm essential patents in Nokia UMTS handsets during the second quarter of 2007," said Rick Simonson, chief financial officer, Nokia, in a statement.
Simonsen added Qualcomm's patent portfolio is concentrated in the U.S., and that it has few or no alleged UMTS patents in many of the countries in which Nokia has substantial UMTS handset sales.
"When Qualcomm's early patents become paid-up and royalty-free on April 9, 2007 Qualcomm's share of all patents relevant to Nokia UMTS handsets will significantly decrease", said Simonson.
He repeated the Finnish group's long-held stance that "as of April 9, 2007, Qualcomm's entire chipset business becomes exposed to Nokia's extensive GSM, WCDMA and CDMA patent portfolios and Nokia will use all rights from those portfolios when defending itself against any new Qualcomm litigation."

Rough set (RS) theory gives an approach to knowledge acquisition. Most RS-based reduction algorithms are to find minimal attribute reducts with heuristic knowledge derived only from the dependencies between condition attributes and decision attributes. The rules based on minimal attribute reducts are too simple to represent expert knowledge well. To acquire rules with stronger generalization capabilities, we advocate a knowledge acquisition approach based on RS and Principal Component Analysis (KA-RSPCA). KA-RSPCA uses a collective correlation coefficient as heuristic knowledge to assist attribute reduction and attribute value reduction. The coefficient is a PCA-based quantitative index to measure every condition attribute's contributions to the state space constructed by the whole of the condition attributes in a decision table.

For two test data sets in comparison with other algorithms, KA-RSPCA algorithm shows a reduction in error rate with only a slight increase in the number of rules used.

He lived in a rented house and was walking towards Manjalpadpu on the outskirts around 3 pm. As he reached Kallega, he suddenly collapsed on the road.
A 108 ambulance happened to pass by the way. People around put him in the ambulance and he was taken to the government hospital, where he was found already dead.

Upon further review, Matt Harvey is mortal.
But the Mets were willing to cut some slack to their fireballing phenom Wednesday night and helped him avoid his first loss in dramatic fashion.
After tying it with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Jordany Valdespin let the Mets forget about a night's worth of offensive shortcomings by hitting a walk-off grand slam against Josh Wall in the 10th inning for a 7-3 victory over the Dodgers at Citi Field.
John Buck smacked a leadoff single in the 10th before Ike Davis walked and Marlon Byrd moved the runners with a sacrifice bunt. Lucas Duda was intentionally walked before Valdespin — against a defensive alignment that featured only two outfielders and an extra infielder playing between first and second base — cleared the right-field fence.
Kevin McReynolds had been the last Mets player to hit a walk-off grand slam, on June 25, 1991, against the Expos.
Harvey had his fastball hopping, as has become the norm, but the difference between a win and no-decision was a well-placed Matt Kemp shot in the sixth inning. Kemp's replay-aided two-run homer put the Mets in a 3-1 hole and all but ended Harvey's night.
In the ninth, with the Mets trailing 3-2, David Wright delivered an RBI single against Brandon League with two outs after Mike Baxter had led off the inning with a pinch-hit double and reached third on Ruben Tejada's sacrifice. The Mets were close to sunk when Jerry Hairston Jr. reached over the third-base railing to make a lunging catch on Daniel Murphy's pop up for the second out, but Wright came to the rescue.
Kemp hit a slicing shot to the right-field corner in the sixth that was originally ruled in play for an RBI triple, but umpires convened for a replay review lasting 2:29 that showed the ball hitting a security guard behind the fence and caroming onto the field.
The blast placed Harvey into a 3-1 hole, from which the Mets didn't recover until Wright's game-tying single in the ninth. Harvey allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.
Harvey was cruising in a 1-1 tie in the sixth, when he walked Adrian Gonzalez with two outs. Kemp's ensuing homer was his first this season and only the second allowed by Harvey in 35 innings.
Harvey was attempting to become the first pitcher since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981 to win his first five starts in a season while pitching at least seven innings and allowing one run or fewer in each.
But Kemp's home run ended that bid and Harvey was removed for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the sixth.
Justin Turner's sacrifice fly pulled the Mets within 3-2 in the sixth after reliever J.P. Howell walked Byrd and Duda in succession to begin the inning.
Ted Lilly, in his season debut, frustrated the Mets with his assortment of off-speed pitches, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over five innings with seven strikeouts. The lefty made only eight starts last season before undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.
Tejada's RBI single in the fifth made it 1-1, but the Mets missed an opportunity to add on as Lilly struck out Wright and Davis — with a Buck fielder's choice sandwiched in between — to leave two runners on base. Harvey's double off the left-field fence preceded Tejada's dribbler to right field that got the Mets on the board.
Mark Ellis, who torched the Mets for two homers and four RBIs in the Dodgers' 7-2 victory on Tuesday, singled to begin a rally in the first inning. After Gonzalez followed with a single, Kemp hit into an RBI fielder's choice, giving the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.
Wright walked and stole second in the third inning, but was left stranded when Buck struck out. An inning earlier, the Mets loaded the bases with two outs against Lilly before Harvey was retired.

Chief Williams & Department Recognized for Support of Children's Wall of Tears
By Tim Pompey
Every day, according to Jane LeMond-Alvarez, cofounder and president of the National Association Against Child Cruelty (NAACC), ten children in the United States die of child abuse, about 2,500 annually. In Ventura County alone, approximately 10,000-13,000 cases of abuse and neglect and 300 cases of sexual molestation are annually reported.
Several years ago, in order to bring attention to this crisis and to help build public support to revamp state laws and improve California's Child Protective Services, LeMond-Alvarez and her husband Leo founded NAACC and The Children's Wall of Tears.
The Children's Wall of Tears is the educational arm of NAACC. It uses names and pictures to memorialize children around the world who are killed as a result of child abuse and neglect. LeMond-Alvarez travels with this exhibition state of state to draw attention to the dire needs of these children and to inform the public about the reality of child abuse. "We want to inspire people to step out of their comfort zones and do something about it," she said. "We want to hold social workers and judges accountable when they continually reunify abused children with their abusers."
The Children's Wall of Tears was recently featured on Saturday, March 29 as part of the first annual Celebrating Children's Day at Plaza Park in Oxnard. "Because we focus on the effects of child cruelty and child death," said LeMond-Alvarez, "we decided to have a very positive event to kick off child abuse month."
The gathering drew five-hundred people and was supported by Oxnard Police Chief Jeri Williams, one of the keynote speakers, and Commander Eric Sonstegard, who helped provide patrol support and pointed them toward the K9 unit and the DRAGGS (Drag Racers Against Gangs and Graffiti).
The support from Williams, Sonstegard, and their fellow police greatly impressed NAACC board member Pauline Daerr. "I called him and he suggested the K9 unit and also the DRAGGS," she said. "So he gave me the contact numbers for them and they were there the whole four hours. It was amazing."
LeMond-Alvarez, a retired officer with the Oxnard Police Department, thinks it's important to recognize the role of the police in the fight against child abuse. "Police officers see child cruelty every day and it takes a toll on them," she noted. "It was wonderful seeing the officers mingling with the children at our event."
To show their appreciation, LeMond-Alvarez and Daerr met Williams on Wednesday, April 16 at the Oxnard Police Department and presented both her and the K9 unit with separate certificates of appreciation. "We do appreciate the time the Oxnard police department spent there," said Daerr. "It was a four-hour event and we had police protection the whole time."
"We're just very thankful for the generous participation of the department," said LeMond-Alvarez. "There were no questions. They were right on it. They wanted to be part of our event."
Chief Williams thanked LeMond-Alvarez and Daerr and was quick to give credit to members of her department, particularly the family protection unit, for their participation and service. "I accept this on behalf of my agency," said Williams. "I can't do my job without all their great help, especially the work of the family protection unit. They are some of the most committed, amazing, professional, conscientious human beings I have ever met."
LeMond-Alvarez hopes that the wall of tears and the interest it generates will raise the community's awareness about the prevalence of child abuse and neglect. "It was a resource event for the community," she said, "to let them know where they could go if they had problems, and it was also to celebrate the first annual Children's Day in Oxnard."

Akron is the fifth largest city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Summit County. The municipality is situated on the Ohio and Erie Canal and Little Cuyahoga River, approximately 39 miles south of Cleveland midway between New York City and Chicago. As of 2000, the city proper had a total population of 217,074, being the fifth largest city in Ohio and 81st in the United States. The Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area, covers both, Summit and Portage counties. In 2000, the area had a population of 694,960 and in 2009, estimates placed the population at 699,935. Akron is also part of the larger Cleveland-Akron-Elyria Combined Statistical Area, which in 2000 had a population of 2,945,831, and ranked as the country's 14th largest. Like many former urban manufacturing centers of the U.S. Rust Belt, Akron's population has declined, falling from a peak of 290,351 in 1960, to just over two-thirds of that today.
Due to spawning many industries in the 1800s, Akron became a boom town, as the fastest growing city in America. Some well-known industries that began in Akron include, American trucking, cereal, toy and marble, rubber, and tire. Despite its size, the city is known to be first in many experiences aside from industry such as, the first long distance electric railway, police patrol vehicle, human testing of iodised salt known as the Akron Experiment, and team to win the NFL Championship. Popularized in the 19th century, the Akron Plan is used in many churches.
Primary industries supporting Akron's economy in current day include, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, FirstEnergy, FirstMerit Bank, Gojo Industries, and Roadway Express. Rubber and airship development made the city essential during World War II. In the late 20th century, Akron started gradually becoming the center of polymer research, having the Goodyear Polymer Center located on The University of Akron campus with the soon to be finished, National Polymer Innovation Center. In the 21st century, the city's economy began to revitalize through continued efforts in industry and media notoriety from NBA All-star LeBron James. Akron was also list by Newsweek as one of ten High-Tech Havens, prominent in the Information Age. In 2008, the city was awarded the City Livability Award for remodeling all of its public schools to serve as community centers all year round. Inducted into the National Civic League Hall of Fame in 2008, the city won the award twice before, in 1981 and in 1995 for creating the first Joint Economic Development District. In 2009, the National Arbor Day Foundation designated Akron as a Tree City USA for the 14th time. Akron also annually host the All-American Soap Box Derby, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Founders Day(Alcoholics Anonymous), and the National Hamburger Festival.
Residents of Akron are referred to as "Akronites". Nicknames used for the city include "Rubber Capital of the World," "Rubber City," "City of Invention," and "Tire City". Historical nicknames for the city include "Summit City" and "The Cross Roads of the Deaf".
Akron Economy
National media began referring to Akron as "The Rubber Capital of the World" in the 1930s, in reference to the city's rubber and tire industries. The city has played an important part in the United States' economy through spawning many industries, major corporations, and inventions.[citation needed] In 1999, the United States Conference of Mayors awarded Akron with the City Livability Award, for creating the first Joint Economic Development District. The city was again awarded with it in 2008, for the idea of rebuilding Akron's schools to act as community centers. Akron won the All-American City award three times, making it into the National Civic League Hall of Fame. In 2001, due to its research and development of polymers, Newsweek named Akron one of ten "High-Tech Havens" on a list of communities that had become important in the Information Age. Akron is home to two Fortune 500 companies: the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and FirstEnergy. In addition, Akron is home to a number of smaller companies such as GOJO (makers of Purell), Advanced Elastomer Systems, FirstMerit Bank, Roadway Express (a subsidiary of Yellow Roadway), Myers Industries, an international manufacturer of polymer products, Acme Fresh Market, Sterling Jewelers, and Lockheed Martin, Maritime Systems & Sensors division. The Eastern Ohio Division of KeyBank, which has six branches in the city, broke ground in May 2009, for a regional headquarters in Downtown Akron. Relocation is scheduled for completion by the fall of 2010.
Akron Education
Higher Education Akron is home to the University of Akron, which the Princeton Review listed among the Best in the Midwest, in 2008. The University is home to the Goodyear Polymer Center, and soon to be the location of the National Polymer Innovation Center. The E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall was built on the campus, opening in 1973. The University underwent a $300 million dollar construction project, which added nine new buildings and renovated fourteen, and closed parts of Carroll and Union Streets. The University also offers a combined B.S./M.D. program with the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. The Summa Field at InfoCision Stadium, is built on-campus as a replacement for the university's previous stadium, the Rubber Bowl. The University of Akron School of Law founded in 1921 as the Akron School of Law, is the law school at the University of Akron, offering both the J.D. and LL.M. degrees.
Pre-College Elementary and secondary education is mainly provided by the Akron Public Schools, which are currently going through a 15-year, $800 million rebuilding process, remodeling some schools and entirely replacing others. The school board could not get a levy passed to pay for its portion of the construction expense so it worked out an arrangement with the city of Akron where the city will use the money from a new income tax to pay for Community Learning Centers, which will serve as schools but be owned by the city. Meanwhile the academic situation has improved as the city's schools have been moved from "Academic Watch" to "Continuous Improvement" by the Ohio Department of Education.
Private schools Akron also has many private, parochial and charter schools. Akron Public Schools made headlines in 2004 when a freshman student of Akron Digital Academy, the district's own online charter school, was not allowed to participate in extracurricular activities, an event later covered and satirized by The Daily Show. St. Vincent - St. Mary High School, just west of Akron's downtown, also made headlines when basketball star LeBron James was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers first overall after his graduation in 2003.

Jurgen Klopp: My new glasses make me look like a serial killer, says Liverpool boss
Klopp broke his glasses during the celebrations as Liverpool beat Norwich City on Saturday
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he is not a fan of his spare pair of glasses.
The German manager broke his usual pair during wild celebrations as Adam Lallana scored a 94th-minute winner at Carrow Road on Saturday morning.
Klopp: New glasses make me look like a serial killer. #LFC
https://t.co/MWAG7r9Jp0— Setanta Sports (@SetantaSports) January 25, 2016
Moments earlier Liverpool had seen Sebastian Bassong score an injury time equaliser for Norwich City to make it 4-4 after what had been a brilliant game.
But after a miscued header from Robbie Brady, Lallana pounced to score a late winner for the Reds.
During ecstatic celebrations, Jurgen Klopp had his glasses broken as players and staff went wild - Christian Benteke was the offender.
He walked off the pitch without a pair, but at his press conference ahead of the League Cup semi-final on Tuesday night, Klopp was again bespectacled.
However, he's not a fan.
"These are not new - they are my second pair of glasses. Now I have to be careful," he joked.
"They are black and I look a little bit like a serial killer but you [the reporter] have ones like that too so you are used to it.'
Asked whether the Belgian striker would have to pay for a new pair, Klopp said: "It was my fault and never in my life has someone had to pay for something which is my fault."
Klopp in November: 'We have to give fans a reason to stay'. Done. https://t.co/qOgRoW0khT #LFC @Carra23 @thisisanfield @LFCMostar— Gary Fennelly (@garyfennelly) January 25, 2016

Celtic tiger and celtic cat
In: Investigaciones de Economía de la Educación 6
In the last few years many studies have been carried out on the Celtic Tiger miracle, i.e., on the spectacular economic growth Ireland experienced between 1995 and 2007. All the studies agree on the key factors that explain this progress, including the commitment to specialized training designed to guarantee the competitivess of its companies on an international level, in particular in the technology, chemical/pharmaceutical and food and agricultural sectors. Given the limitations of its domestic market, all entrepreneurial initiatives linked to these areas have targeted export markets, and these efforts have received government support and been reinforced by a close collaboration between universities and the business world. Within this context, business schools have played a crucial role given their close ties to business, not only as far as supplying skilled labour, but also by providing business advice as well as a space that serves as a meeting point for entrepreneurs. This situation has fostered the development of a modern, dynamic and, above all, enterprising entrepreneurial culture. The close links between Ireland and Galicia are due to geographical, historical and cultural factors; however, this is not the case in terms of their evolution over the last few decades. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the Celtic Tiger miracle through a study of Irish business schools that analyses their efficiency and compares this to that of their counterparts in Galicia during the 1997-2002 period in order to determine if, as in the case of their economies, there are any significant competitive differences.

text: In the fickle world of electronic music, it is something of a miracle if an act's sound manages to stay fresh and relevant for more than a few years, let alone the 17 since Nightmares On Wax's debut. Their sixth album, Thought So ..., fulfils all the expectations of an ageing chillout act. Nightmares On Wax have been making slinky, downtempo music for so long now that they can probably churn it out in their sleep. At times on Thought So ..., you suspect they have done exactly that. It is by no means terrible; smooth and competent, the album maintains a base level of pleasantness throughout. Arguably, this is the point of chillout music - but this album could have been put together at any point during the past decade, and it fails to present a good case for its existence in 2008. There is the occasional brief moment when interest is piqued: the ring chant vocals on Be There, the electro nods and ragga toasting of 195lbs. But they are not enough.

Regional Unemployment Disparities: Can Fiscal Policy Help?
Regional unemployment disparities are widely observed, appear to persist through time and are often a reason for concern on the part of both regional and national governments. This paper constructs a small two-region general-equilibrium model and uses it to assess the effectiveness of traditional fiscal policy in combating regional unemployment disparities. The model is based on optimising behaviour of households and firms and incorporates inter-regional migration. It is calibrated using data for the Australian states and then simulated to evaluate the effects of expenditure changes by both regional and federal governments. In particular, we consider (i) a rise in federal government spending in one region, (ii) a rise in regional government spending, (iii) a policy of 'unlocking the forests' in which a regional government increases the availability of regional natural resources, and (iv) a general increase in federal government spending. The results are often surprising – only the fourth policy reduces unemployment in the high-unemployment region and all policies exacerbate the disparity.

Exploring trails around Fort Wainwright
Today's was suposed to be an easy ride. Temperatures were low, down to -20, and no one wanted to break anything. We decided to stay around Fort Wainwright and explore its trail network, especially some of the muskeg trails that are unpassable in the summer. In attendance was Matt F (Boostlesstj), Nate Lawson with his Isuzu, Samurai Mike and son on his Comanche, and me on my TJ.
We left the FWW gas station right around 10 am and headed for the trails across Chena River from the golf course. We snaked through some trail around there, marvelling at how much narrower the trails were in the winter with all the hardpacked snow on the trail bed. I was up front breaking trail, getting smacked hard with tree branches and dumped with loads of snow on my hood.
The first big obstacle was a sharp, steep hill that goes up from Nautilus Road onto the Approach Hill. I tried it at first but couldn't reach the top, making the trail slick like glass in my attempt. Matt F tried too, as did Mike. The hill was too slick for anyone. We took the little off camber bypass and we all made through, although Nate needed a little tug from Mike's tow strap.
At the top of Approach Hill we played around in this big hole that had a few steep hills in a couple of directions. Nate recorded videos of everybody going up and down the snow, and we had a bit of fun. Leaving that area we decided to try out a muskeg trail that heads north from Approach Hill. Last time we tried this trail during the summer, it was completely muddy and no one wanted to get stuck so we turned around after heading in 100 feet.
This time the muskeg trail was passable, and we all headed into the trail, not knowing really where it led, only knowing a general direction. The snow was pretty thick and the Wrangler Duratracs were doing a great job of breaking through the stuff. We came across a few other trails that crossed this one, and they all seemed passable. It would be a great area to explore on a day with more daylight. We continued on our initial trail, turning left onto another trail only when ours disappeared into a thick forest. Following this other trail we ended up in Sage Hill Road.
We followed Sage Hill road to the Big Hill area, where we had fun playing around again. Matt F was the first one to climb through a short, steep, slippery hill and drove his Jeep all the way to the top of Big Hill. Next Mike followed Matt, having to attempt a few times at conquering the short hill. Speed was the secret, and soon he had made it to the top. Next it was me, and with speed behind me I made it too. Nate stayed below, recording everyone's attempts. Nate drove the bypass to the top of Big Hill, and there we stayed for a while talking, enjoying the Alaskan winter and marvelling at the gorgeous nature in front of us.
We dropped down the backside of Big Hill and played around for a little longer. Mike showed what lockers are for, and with throttle and perseverance managed to climb through the snowy face of a hill, taking him almost 10 minutes to make it to the top. It was slow but impressive. Well done. We all had fun going down the face of Big Hill a few times, and then headed off into the musked again.
Following a snow machine (snowmobile) trail we headed towards the pipeline. The trail was narrow and covered in soft snow, and we had to cross what is probably a very narrow and shallow stream, and then we crossed the pipeline perpendicularly(!!) and stopped for photos. Nate warned us that the trail got even narrower after the pipeline, so we doubled back and headed towards Big Hill.
Byassing Big Hill we headed towards the trails of Sage Hill, moving towards Birch Hill. Arriving at the east side of Birch Hill we made it 1/4 of the way to the top of the hill and hung a left onto a very narrow trail that headed down the hill. The trail proved to be very, very narrow, with snow ladden tree branches hung very low in front of us. I, as trail boss, riding up front, was again dumped on with lots and lots of snow. My hood got so much snow that at one point I had a 4 inch by 3 inch window on my wind screen to look through. This short trail was only a few hundred feet long, but we took it slow due to all the trees and snow, and we all made it out easily.
After that we headed down to the River Road bypass and took that, but instead of going all the way through the bypass we found a narrow logging road heading north and headed that way, which took us to the back of Big Dirt Hill, where we were greeted by a father and his son practicing snowboarding on the fluffy snow covering the hill. Here we stopped, chatted a little bit and parted ways.
Today's ride was fun, a nice exploratory ride, finding where Fort Wainwright's trails lead to, and we even had some moments where we pushed our rigs, trying to go over obstacles that are easy in the summer, but too slippery in the winter. Nate learned the limits of his little Isuzu truck and he was quite satisfied with it, his little truck is pretty cool! Samurai Mike showed us what lockers can do and we were all pretty impressed, his son was having a blast too, but was a bit disappointed that his father forgot (on purpose!) to bring a toboggan: he really wanted to slide down Big Hill. Matt and I had fun exploring these trails we spent whole summer wondering where they lead.
My camera's batteries were frozen for part of the trip, but after a while between me and the seat heaters I had the camera going again...

cool pics, i used to live in fbx, i wish i would have known about this forum while i was up there.
you dont see too many posts around here from AK, or about wheelin in AK in general, i definatly miss it sometimes.
That hill has fun written all over it.
reviving an old thread
i go to those hills all the time. i use approach hill to test out whatever new part i just installed (lift, wheels, tc, driveshaft and such). i drove it when it was stock, so i have a good base comparison (especially since i almost got in trouble in mud many time when it was stock).
sage hill has an awesome view. my avatar is from sage hill. i have my pics in my build thread. i took it the jeep into an atv trail off the jeep trails nearby sage hill and got it stuck there. not fun when you are out there until 0100 when you have an early call at 530 formation.
birch hill is okay. you can get a good view of the base from top of the ski lifts but not that interesting.
Good to see a few people from F-banks. Im a new TJ owner, just getting to dive into all of this.
took it out and got it stuck. was out there all day near sage hill.
Went out on some small trails today, just to see how she handled, 4WD wasnt needed, and I didnt D/C sway bars.

GREENVILLE, NC (WCTI) — Police officers in Greenville arrested a 19-year-old they said broke into a sorority house.
ECU Police sent out an alert to students and faculty saying the suspect entered a house near the intersection of E. 5th St. and Rotary St. around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday by pushing in an unsecured door.
Police said Michael Ferguson, of 3555 E 10th St., entered the house through an unlocked door. The suspect was confronted by a resident and then ran away, the alert said. Ferguson is also listed in the East Carolina directory as a student at the university.
That house is the Delta Zeta sorority house. Officers found and arrested Ferguson around 6 a.m. He's been charged with first-degree attempted burglary and consuming alcohol underage.
Ferguson was placed under a $25,500 bond in Pitt County Detention Center.

It's been a quick and graceless fall for American Idol in Season 13. Despite having judges who actually know what they are talking about and mostly manage not to waste anyone's time (sans Mariah), Fox's hit singing competition series has continually slipped in the ratings. Last night, more salt was rubbed in the wound when this week The Voice beat American Idol's ratings for the first time in history.
That last statement would obviously be more impressive were American Idol and The Voice both at their peaks and were directly competing on the same nights. What is telling, however, is that The Voice continues to be a success over at NBC, while we all know American Idol is rapidly becoming a dinosaur. On Monday, The Voice premiered its fourth season to 13.6 million total viewers and followed with a Tuesday performance that brought in roughly 12 million total viewers. Even better, the show is crushing in the 18-49 demographic, bringing in around 6 million the first night and shedding roughly a million viewers the second night.
It's true that American Idol started out its 13th season with similar ratings, but this week things only got worse for the singing competition program. According to Billboard, on Thursday, American Idol hit a series low, only bringing in 11 million total viewers and 3.45 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic. This season, the people over at American Idol have tried a lot of marketing tactics to attempt to repeat success, including splitting the guys and gals by gender and instituting a SuperVote system. Regardless, those efforts don't seem to be working. The Voice may never have the dominant market share that Idol had at its peak, but it is looking like Idol is finally and permanently on its way out of fashion.

Speak Welsh or face expulsion, pupils are told
A HEAD teacher was accused of "living in the Dark Ages" yesterday after warning that children caught speaking English in his Welsh school faced expulsion.
The punishment is part of a system to "monitor, congratulate and discipline pupils in their use of Welsh", claims Huw Foster Evans.
He has told parents of any youngster who continues to speak in English to a member of staff after receiving two warnings that they will be "invited to the school to discuss their child's future".
If pupils speak English in class they will lose their free time while if they are caught doing so in corridors or the playground they will be reprimanded.
The controversial rules have been spelled out in a letter to parents of all 800 pupils at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd secondary school in Wrexham, North Wales.
It follows allegations last week that children in reception classes in the Welsh-speaking stronghold of Ceredigon have been told they cannot go to the toilet unless they make the request in Welsh.
Fluency in Welsh is an absolute requirement to enable our students to attain their full potential
Other claims, including one that a mother was told to stop reading bedtime stories to her daughter in English because it would kill off the Welsh language, are being investigated by Keith Towler, the Children's Commissioner for Wales.
Many parents have condemned the Ysgol Morgan Llwyd system, with one complaining: "It seems so archaic. Children can even be punished for speaking English on their break."
Another said: "This has always been a good school with exceptional discipline but this is extreme."
Mr Foster Evans yesterday insisted: "We enjoy the strong support of the vast majority of pupils and carers who share with us a positive focus on the learning, achievement and personal development of pupils through the medium of Welsh.
"Fluency in Welsh is an absolute requirement to enable our students to attain their full potential.
"The only way to develop increasing fluency in any language is to speak it as regularly as possible."
School governor Alun Jenkins said: "It's a Welsh school so there is an expectation that pupils will speak to each other in Welsh at all times.
"Children who don't know Welsh at all can have a crash course and become conversant in the language very quickly."
Nick Seaton, secretary of the Campaign for Real Education, claimed Mr Foster Evans and his staff were "living in the Dark Ages".
He said: "Have these people not heard of multiculturalism? If the heads of English schools attempted this sort of thing they would be pilloried and there would be uproar."

Driving home this evening, about 10pm - guy flags me down, presumably because of the 4 bike racks on the roof of the car. He's found a decent mountain bike in the middle of the road. He's pulled it to the side, but isn't local (and has a little car), and doesn't just want to leave it there.
So, I've taken the bike home. Will call the Police in the morning, and the Bike Factory in Chester (label on bike) and try to reunite the bike with its owner. However, if anyone can describe said bike in detail, send me a mail. I'm assuming it's fallen off someone's bike rack.

This tiny electronic device applied to the skin can pick up heart and speech sounds
November 18, 2016
Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder and Northwestern University have developed a tiny, soft, wearable acoustic sensor that measures vibrations in the human body and can be used to monitor human heart health and recognize spoken words.
The stretchable Band-aid-like device attaches to the skin on nearly any surface of the body, using "epidermal electronics" to capture sound signals from the body.

DENVER - The Czech Republic Olympic braintrust didn't take long to get Jiri Hudler's answer about being left off the team.
One goal. One assist.
One Calgary Flames victory.
Hudler, a surprising omission from the roster named in the morning for the coming Sochi Games, scored a pretty goal and then showed his playmaking skills on Michael Cammalleri's late game-winning tally to pace the Flames to a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche Monday night in the Mile High City.
"He's disappointed. It's a big deal to anybody, especially him, who thought he deserved to be there, and us as teammates all thought he deserved to be there," Cammalleri said. "(Shane) O'Brien said to me before the game, 'I put my money on Huds to play well tonight.' "

It's that time of year again, The 2014 Star Wars Character Tournament has started.
In a recent interview with Master Yoda, winner of the 2013 tournament, Max Kellerman asked Yoda about his win in last year's tournament. Yoda shows his comedic side in the first question when he is asked about his close win over Obi-Wan. He answered by saying the following:
Picked the better looking Jedi, voters did.
Afterwards, he is asked about beating R2-D2 in the Light side conference final.
Finished what was started at Dagobah, I did. Take a lamp from me, no one does. Forget that, I never will.
He was then asked about facing Darth Vader in the Championship match. Yoda acknowledged that he is powerful with the Dark side but the Light side prevailed.
Starting March 11, 2014, the 2014 Star Wars Character Tournament will begin. The tournament will go on until the last match on April 7, 2014

Everything you need either in the gated community, or close by
from the crowded East Coast and decided to spend the three months of our most severe season out in this charming Village of Encanterra. Enjoyed the Perna home, it was welcoming having all the amenities we needed all laid out for us to enjoy. Comfortable beds, clean baths, more towels than two people could possibly need, all appliances in good working order, plenty of garage space for our one car and a golf cart we used often to get around in. Very little foot traffic on the street, however disproportionate amount of vehicles passing all day heading through a short cut that lead cars through the street we were on. very little interaction with neighbors whether in front or backyard, can be a good thing or bad, depending on your personal tastes. The owners appeared to be quite friendly and generous with their property being shared while they were away, easy to communicate through a paid property manager who/lives right within the community who responded promptly when needed. We are in our early 70s and fairly active. This community offers something for everyone, of all ages - right within the village or club house, whether it be golf, cards, hiking nearby, crafts, or just beautiful sunsets- great features of staying in Encanterra. We had family getting married during our stay, and we rented to be nearby the newlyweds, who are now permanent residents at Encanterra -- will be back each winter, we hope. You will like this rental and village - has something for everyone to enjoy.
Our 1st Arizona winter was made even more enjoyable by our stay in this house. It's beautifully decorated and has a great kitchen with upscale appliances and very nice tableware & cookware. On the patio there's comfortable furniture where you can relax in the great weather and admire the trees and flowers. The community residents are friendly and the staff is terrific. Encanterra is a beautiful place!
We had a great 2 month stay at this location. The home was well supplied with all our needs and we loved being close to three doggie parks which our Schnauzer couldn't wait for one of her many walks. The owners were very nice to deal with and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Beautiful golf course and club house.
Outstanding friendliness from everyone. Staff at the clubhouse including at the pool & golf course, were terrific - friendly, ultra-helpful, clearly loved their work.Top notch property maintenance. The whole place, clubhouse, residences, etc., just had a great feel. We felt like we hade been there from day one. Can't wait to get back.
This is a beautifully decorated home in a luxurious community. The home has pretty much anything available to enjoy your stay. The kitchen is well equipped for any of your needs. The beds were a dream to sleep on! This was the first time we have rented a vacation home and this place was fantastic.
The gated community offers so much to enjoy your stay. You have the ability to go to the spa, the coffee shop, the two restaurant choices in the clubhouse, or sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous views. There are more amenities offered in the clubhouse that are available. The people in the community are very friendly.
This was our first stay in Encanterra and we will definitely do it again!

Editing: Done! Just dropping in my notes on the tea made during the day before going to bed. Didn't make nearly as many infusions as I had thought I would.
2nd infusion much like 1st, in spit of being forgotten, oversteeped and lukewarm. Completely drinkable, shockingly enough. Would probably have been a different story had it been the first steep
3rd same as the others. More or less. One note has come out of it here and it reminds me of popcorn. I think my gunpowder thinks it's genmaicha… At least now I know what to do in a pinch when I run out of genmaicha.

Our Business Goal
This website was created by people who don't like Andrew Versluis. It is for people who don't like him, don't like how he treats his girlfriend, and/or thinks he is a homosexual. The homepage includes a biography. The rest of the website will include a blog and other fun Andrew is gay stuff.
Andrew Versluis
Andrew Versluis was born on March something in the year who gives a shit. Form the time he was a child nobody liked him. He was ugly, covered in acne, and retarded. Sometime during his sophomore year of high school at Klamath Union High School in Klamath Falls, Oregon he realized hey I like men. He tried some dating and each tome had sex. Each time he requested to have his dick sucked and that he give the other one anal. He realized he didn't like that and thought: "hey I don't like girls and I don't like to have sex with men... what do I like?" One time during a date his boyfriend his boyfriend shoved his dick up his ass. Andrew at that moment realized he had never felt so much pleasure in all of his life. Later after being screwed up the ass for 8 hours straight he decided to suck his boyfriends cock. Again he felt more pleasure than ever before and he thought the taste was just awsome. When he came in Andrews's mouth over and over Andrew became the person to have the most seamen ever swallowed at 1.7 pints. He just couldn't stop because he loved the taste so much. He was the huge faggot and later broke up with his girlfriend because she had no penis and he could not take the entirety of it in his ass. He is a flaming faggot that needs to die in a fucking pit. That is all.

wikiHow to Use a Dolica AX Series Ball Head Tripod
One Methods:Lowering the Tripod HeightCommunity Q&A
So, you want to step up your photography game... One way to do it is to get a good tripod. However, the big name ones cost a lot of money. If you got a Dolica AX series, you have probably found the answer, but you aren't quite sure how to use it.
1Look at the legs of the tripod. They are easy to maneuver and have flip locks. You flip them open to release the leg to let it slide down and flip it closed to secure it at its new length.
2Extend them to a comfortable height so that you can continue inspecting the tripod in comfort.
3Locate the Center Column. That is the long piece in the center of the 3 legs. Find the collar. This will allow you to move it up and down.
4At the top of the center column, note the ball head part of the tripod. This is detachable and can be replaced with another type of tripod head, if you choose.
5Try removing the tripod ball head. It is a 3⁄8 inch (1.0 cm) screw.
Lowering the Tripod Height
1Look at the top of the tripod legs. There is a type of button that you pull out to free the tripod leg.
2Pull the leg out. There is nothing to tighten it down except for the natural friction built into the tripod. Don't overload it.
3Do that with each leg. If you want to give it an angle, do it with the legs at different lengths.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- Be prepared to get a little frustrated with the center column. Unlike the less expensive tripods, it doesn't have a crank that you can move it up and down easily.
- Most, if not all, ball head tripods will work like this (or a variation thereof).

on Aug 24th, 2009Robin Hood Hat
Materials Needed
Two pieces of 8 ½ x 11 inch green felt, a sewing machine or glue gun, glue, black double folding binding tape, feather, pinking sheers
With both pieces of felt together, sew a seam that rounds off one of the corners and runs from one corner of the felt to the corner diagonal from it. Cut excess material with pinking sheers, and invert the material.
Fold up the bottom inch or two, according to the size of the noggin it's going on, to form the brim. If needed, put a few dabs of glue around the inside of the fold to keep it in place.
Add a little "Men-in-Tights" attitude by putting a pinch in the top rear of the hat. Pinch the hat from underneath, and put a dab of hot glue on the top between your thumb and forefinger. Squeeze the glue until it cools.
To make the band, measure the binding tape around the hat, cut and glue; match seams at the back of the hat. Choose an awesome feather to flaunt. Insert the plumage into the hat band, slanted toward the back. Drip a little glue down the shaft of the feather where it's buried in the hat band.You've got time to get your tights on while the glue dries.
Below is a video guide, with another way to make a Robin Hood hat:

Garance Franke-Ruta is a senior editor with The Atlantic, covering national politics. She had brunch a couple of weeks ago in New York with Slate's Dave Weigel.
But in light of certain recent NYC events, it's the other member of her brunch party that makes the meal 20/20 notable. To Franke-Ruta's surprise, Weigel had also asked Olivia Nuzzi to join them. The former Weiner campaign intern who would go on to make a big splash via her NSFWCORP blog entries and this past Tuesday's NYDN cover. Writes Franke-Ruta:
I was impressed by the way Nuzzi coupled a kind of self-conscious sexpot appearance with an unexpectedly deep knowledge of New York and New Jersey politics. She friended me on Facebook shortly thereafter…
There was no question when I met Nuzzi that she was on the make. But then so are plenty of other young journalists – the difference is that they are usually men. It's actually rather rare to meet a young aspiring woman journalist who is as aggressively networky and career-oriented as Nuzzi. Or as willing to burn bridges.
We're not sure about the bridges part. Franke-Ruta notes that Nuzzi, a junior at Fordham University, has contributed to other sites and says she won't be surprised if this young woman arrives on TV somewhere a lot sooner. Read the full Atlantic essay here.

Sadly the Olympics are now over, but it's not just the athletes who have had a challenge to deal with - like many office workers in the capital, Microsoft employees have had to be prepared for a packed transport system. Therefore the option of working from home has been a potential problem solver for those working out Microsoft's Victoria offices during the Olympics.
Annemarie Duffy is CIO for Microsoft UK - and responsible for keeping UK staff connected. Using the company's own technology has "revolutionised the way we work", she says, crediting Lync as the enabler for real change in driving flexible and mobile collaboration for the company's 3,000 plus staff. "We have always been a flexible workforce... But Lync has provided a new level of flexibility."
According to Duffy, "somewhere in the region of 80% of Microsoft staff meetings now have an online element" and staff have embraced the change and improved work-life balance this has offered them.
Microsoft has invested heavily in helping staff to both use and feel comfortable with the technology with a bespoke, rolling WorkSmart programme delivered by Duffy's team. Consequently, whatever the outcome of any potential disruption during the Olympics, Duffy is confident that it will be "Business as usual" for Microsoft, its staff, and the organisations they support.

Today is Easter for those of you celebrating around the world, and what better way to celebrate than with Peeps? Specifically Peeps attending an Apple event -- these guys were made by Sarah Kohari and Erin Mastrangelo of Washington, and are part of the Washington Post's yearly Peeps diorama contest. This one is number 38, and they also made number 39 as well.
We like it, obviously, especially the little Steve Jobs peep, as well as the iPeep nanos (in, apparently, all of the different colors Peeps come in). Happy Easter to everyone -- may you have candy and chocolate of all kinds (if that's what you're looking for today), and may all of your egg finding go well.

Huddled over a fleet of abandoned Iraqi drones, U.S. weapons experts in Baghdad came to one conclusion: Despite the Bush administration's public assertions, these unmanned aerial vehicles weren't designed to dispense biological or chemical weapons.
The evidence gathered this summer matched the dissenting views of Air Force intelligence analysts who argued in a national intelligence assessment of Iraq before the war that the remotely piloted planes were unarmed reconnaissance drones.
In building its case for war, senior Bush administration officials had said Iraq's drones were intended to deliver unconventional weapons. Secretary of State Colin Powell even raised the alarming prospect that the pilotless aircraft could sneak into the United States to carry out poisonous attacks on American cities.
The administration based its view on a Central Intelligence Agency finding that Iraq had renewed development of sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicles -- UAVs -- capable of such attacks. The Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency also supported this conclusion.
While the hunt for suspected weapons of mass destruction -- and the means to deliver them -- continues, intelligence and defense officials said the CIA and DIA stand by their prewar assertions about Iraqi drone capabilities, some of which Powell highlighted in his Feb. 5 presentation to the U.N. Security Council.
But the Air Force, which controls most of the American military's UAV fleet, didn't agree with that assessment from the beginning. And analysts at the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency said the Air Force view was widely accepted within their ranks as well.
Instead, these analysts believed the drones posed no threat to Iraq's neighbors or the United States, officials in Washington and scientists involved in the weapons hunt in Iraq told The Associated Press.
The official Air Force intelligence dissent is noted in the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's weapons programs, parts of which were declassified last month as the Bush administration tried to defend its case for war.
"We didn't see there was a very large chance they (UAVs) would be used to attack the continental United States," Bob Boyd, director of the Air Force Intelligence Analysis Agency, said in an AP interview. "We didn't see them as a big threat to the homeland."
Boyd also said there was little evidence to associate Iraq's UAVs with the country's suspected biological weapons program. Facilities weren't in the same location and the programs didn't use the same people.
Instead, the Air Force believed Iraq's UAV programs were for reconnaissance, as are most American UAVs. Intelligence on the drones suggested they were not large enough to carry much more than a camera and a video recorder, Boyd said.
Postwar evidence uncovered in July in Iraq supports those assessments, according to two U.S. government scientists assigned to the weapons hunt.
"We just looked at the UAVs and said, 'There's nothing here. There's no room to put anything in here,"' one of the scientists said.
The wingspan on drones that Iraqis showed journalists in March measured 24.5 feet and the aircraft were built like large, white model airplanes.
The U.S. scientists, weapons experts who spoke on condition of anonymity, reached their conclusions after studying the small aircraft and interviewing Iraqi missile experts, system designers and Gen. Ibrahim Hussein Ismail, the Iraqi head of the military facility where the UAVs were designed. None of the Iraqis questioned are in U.S. custody.
While the weapons hunters can't be sure they've recovered all of Iraq's UAVs, the evidence amassed so far, coupled with the interviews, has led them to believe that none of the drones are designed for unconventional weapons. Iraqis involved in the program have insisted the drones were for reconnaissance and electronic jamming.

Hello, I've copied some xml-file into Resource folder and it's present int apk's assets folder with sample images (for hello world app).
Now I want to load that file using tinyxml:
const char* path = "test.xml"; DocumentPtr document = DocumentPtr(new TiXmlDocument(path)); bool loadResult = document~~>LoadFile; if CClog; TiXmlElement* document_element = document~~>RootElement();
if (document_element != nullptr) … else CClog("Error");
And this prints both: `Failed to load` and `Error`. So, it can't find the file source to load it. What could be wrong here? Sample images are loading just by image name and it's okay.
const char* path = CCFileUtils::sharedFileUtils() -> fullPathFromRelativePath( "test.xml" );
Only tested on cocos2d-x v2.0.4
Hm, I thought, for android, it will return same string "test.xml" ?And what to input in the newest stable version, there are two arguments required.
You can try reading the API reference for such things.
API Reference: http://www.cocos2d-x.org/reference/native-cpp/index.htmlCCFileUtils::fullPathForFilename: http://www.cocos2d-x.org/reference/native-cpp/d0/ddc/classcocos2d\_1\_1\_c\_c\_file\_utils.html\#add09145b4e8979979f3f63b002050fb6
The problem with android is that you must unpack your xml first. Maybe my code will be of use:
std::string sceneXMLName = "Scenes/" + nextScene + ".xml";
std::string sceneXMLPath = CCFileUtils::sharedFileUtils()->fullPathForFilename(sceneXMLName.c_str());
unsigned long size = 0;
unsigned char* pData = 0;
pData = CCFileUtils::sharedFileUtils()->getFileData(sceneXMLPath.c_str(), "rb", &size);
pugi::xml_parse_result result = sceneDescription.load_buffer(pData, size);
Instead of pugixml's load_buffer method you may want to use smthing like
TiXmlDocument doc;
doc.Parse((const char*)filedata, 0, TIXML_ENCODING_UTF8);
You are right! The problem is that files are stored inside APK and plain c++ have no idea how to access it (because it's zip-archive). So, I found 2 ways: one is described in your reply, the another one is a little different: load data and store it inside internal storage, for example. From that place plain c would be able to access data directly.

Jungle-clad Koh Kood is a last frontier in Thai tourism. The country's fourth largest island, it doesn't yet have an ATM. Even more extraordinary in this land of a million mini-marts, there is not one 7-Eleven store. Well, not so far.
Thai experts no doubt are frantically working to rectify the situation. Meantime, Koh Kood, tucked way in the far south-eastern corner of the Gulf of Thailand, does have good resorts, great diving and plenty to do for visitors who don't want to do too much.
"There's no success like excess," quipped Oscar Wilde. Koh Kood has jungles, beaches, serenity and even luxury in excess. And so far, tourism there is a success. I want to see if it will last. At about 25km long by 12km wide, much of this hilly, densely forested island is Royal Thai Navy reserve - a possible defence against being carpet-bombed by developers.
I fly in on an eight-passenger Cessna Caravan direct from Bangkok, an easy 330km hop. We float over the scattered wreath of islands of the Koh Chang Archipelago and land neatly on a tiny island which has a runway mowed right across its jungle, rather like a reverse Mohawk.
Koh Kood's Six Senses Soneva Kiri resort doesn't do anything by halves. The classic speedboat transfer from private airstrip, the electric golf buggy that's mine for the duration of my stay and a hill villa which, at 448sqm area, is almost the size of a hill village. Those are the basics.
Then comes your Mr (or Mrs) Friday, a butler who's on call whenever you need anything - for instance, my room is equipped with an iPod loaded with 18,000 songs, but I don't know how to work it. Do I call Jason, my faithful Mr Friday for instructions? Well, no. I miss out on 18,000 tunes but instead I hear birdsong and cricket trills. Suits me.
Soneva Kiri's architecture is an adventure in sun-bleached woodwork, where pavilions, decks overlooking heaven or at least its shores, soaring roofs and walkways climb organically up a hillside to form the main public structures. In the midst of all that is food to the power of truly wicked. Breakfast's excesses are arrayed in a cooled, circular glass vault which hosts cheeses and cold cuts, condiments, teas galore, bakery goodies and numberless morsels.
Further confounding choices await you at dinner in the form of some 5000 bottles of cellared wine. (Teetotallers don't know how easy they have it.) But the absolute gobstopper (literally) is the Chocolate Room where the whole pantheon of dusky, cocoa-born devils - mousses, truffles, cookies, drinks and bite-sized chocs of all permutations - tempt you to just say "yes" every time.
I flee to the yoga pavilion where the lovely Khun Areeya cures me for an hour. Temporarily detoxed and de-choxed, I follow up with a fine spa massage, and then make it to the private beach.
Mr Friday later conducts me on an extensive driving tour of Koh Kood and its bays, beaches and villages. Come evening, I dine on delicious stir-fried bass and red curry prawns (and much more) at the over-lagoon restaurant, Benz, so named after its much-treasured Thai chef, Khun Benz. (Her father, it is said, had the first Merc in his town and named his daughter after it - as you do. So, why Benz and not Mercedes?)
Reefs and smaller isles surround Koh Kood, the second largest island in the Koh Chang group. Long-time resident and divemaster, Mike Misic of Paradise Divers, drives me and my friend Ree to his boat. Along with two Dutch girls who are learning to dive, we chug easily down the west coast to Analay Reef where the bottom is sandy and the water gin-clear and only 10m deep. Overboard we go, Ree and I snorkelling and the others, plus their instructor, with scuba tanks. It's a couple of hours of liquid delight, with fishes flitting through fan corals.
Further off are more challenging dive sites like the rock pinnacles of Koh Chang and corals of Koh Maak and Koh Rang National Park.
We head back to shore and hop on a motorbike to the river at Khlong Chao where Ree has a sea kayak. We paddle - well, mostly I do - up river for half an hour, along a pristine, mangrove-walled moat that opens to tumbled rocks and a waterfall. Nam Tok Khlong Chao falls in a beautiful three-tiered cascade to a large pond that after wet season is excellent for swimming.
We ride on to Ao Salad, an inlet where octopus boats, creaking walkways, geraniums, lobster pots, nets, drying squid and all the vital detritus of a fishing village are evidence of lives not yet dominated by tourism.
Even so, the village name, Ao Salad, which means Pirate Bay - for this is where pirates long ago took shelter - has inspired a string of resort names elsewhere on the island: the Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinkerbell resorts.
Jack Sparrow is nowhere to be seen and you wouldn't even call it a cafe, but we sit on the old pier of Ao Salad, drinking beer and woofing down fresh crab and grilled squid. As they say in the ad cliches, priceless.
This aromatic island, of casuarina shores, woodsmoke, fireflies and mangroves, has about 40 guesthouses, small hotels and a few luxury resorts, all well spread out, mostly along the west coast's white sandy beaches. The 2000 permanent residents traditionally work in fishing, rubber and coconut plantations, and increasingly in tourism.
The newest luxury resort here is Cham's House on the south-west coast. My octagonally-shaped Ocean View Villa looks out (as the name promises) on to a gulf beach where the original Man Friday - Robinson Crusoe-style - would feel right at home. Clear waters, crisp waves. No condos lining the shore. No jetskis, go-gos or bar bogans.
Cham's charms include 16 rooms and 32 villas, plus a beachfront restaurant where I loll, book at one hand, laptop at the other (yes, even this jungle shore is a colony of the wi-fi world - for which I am grateful), dreaming out to sea.
There's a massage table and masseuse working beneath a shade tree on the lawn. Behind me, uphill, is a pool, elsewhere a spa. I could have gone for a pool villa or one with a jacuzzi, but, for me, the ocean does all that.
This is a place for romantics, singles or families; in fact anybody who craves a tropical shore without a karaoke bar next door. Cham's House is indeed, as it modestly says "a home for the soul".
Humid, forested, undeveloped, bit-hard-to-get-to Koh Kood is a bounteous place. My mission was, I recall, to see if its fortunate excesses might also spell its doom.
Not yet. The sands haven't been hived off to beach umbrella bosses, the waters to the jetski mafia and transport to taxi extortionists - problems that plague Thailand's other big resorts. If you're after a Phuket-Pattaya-style neon experience with bells and wolf-whistles, this is not the place for you.
Unlike its large neighbour, Koh Chang, whose once-beautiful west coast is being mercilessly mined for mass tourism, Koh Kood still has a chance to get it right - as long as Thais care.
