Integrity Week: Inside Secrets of Job and Intership Search
2/28/14 3:00pm to 4:00pm
Room 336
This workshop will provide students, not only with the tools to develop a good strategy to find jobs and internships, but an ethical context in which to behave professionally throughout the search process. Topics to be covered will include, professional communication, honest representation of skills, how to gracefully network, having genuine interest in the position and navigating the waiting game. The way in which students pursue professional opportunities can positively impact their success in obtaining that ideal internship or full time position.

What starts off in your mouth as a small pain or problem, can take a serious turn for the worse if left untreated. A 9-year study published in the Journal of Endodontics reports more than 61 thousand people in the United States were hospitalized primarily due to an abscess in their mouth.
"Your mouth becomes swollen, its hard to open, sometime infections specially on the top teeth can travel towards the eye and those become serious, sometimes life threatening situations," Said Sarasota pediatric dentist, Si McAninch.
These are the warning signs and symptoms that you may need to seek immediate medical attention, he cautioned. "Most of the time it starts off as some small pain, you wonder if its food that is caught between your teeth or something but then, it gets worse and worse and it might not get swollen or seriously infected for quite some time."
He added that people get lulled into a false sense of security, wait too long and think the pain will just go away. The two biggest reasons people seek emergency oral medical attention are infections and trauma. And it happens more frequently than you may think.
Director of the E.R. at Doctor's Hospital of Sarasota, Marilee Arnold, R.N. said "In any given year we probably have maybe five percent to ten percent of patients come in with some sort of dental emergency, that would cover infection broken teeth, the whole spectrum of dental emergencies."
A pain in your mouth left untreated can develop swelling which can lead to an abscess in your mouth. "You can also, if it continues to untreated, end up with a system wide infection, an infection that goes to your blood, it goes to other areas in your body which could potentially lead to a life threatening infection where you need to be admitted to the hospital"
Infections are treated with antibiotics and there is pain medication that can help, but when it comes to your mouth, this, said Dr. McAnich may be the best way to stay out of the E.R. "Keeping your teeth nice and clean and healthy and going to the dentist every six months, and identifying a problem when you're aware of it."

Today felt hard. I worked all day long trying to clean and organize the house, but for every step forward, I felt like my 3 year old was setting me 3 steps back. By 4pm, the house didn't look any better than it did at 8am.
I don't know why I bother cleaning while my kids are awake.
So there I am at around 5:30pm, exhausted, utterly spent, grouchy and discouraged. I roll of my sleeves and get to work making a quick dinner, putting away dishes, picking up and putting away toys, folding blankets, etc.
And it dawned on me.
Cleaning the kitchen is hard.
Taking a plate and moving it from the dish rack to the cabinet isn't.
Organizing my girls' room is tedious and time consuming.
Gathering up the books and returning them to the shelf isn't.
Doing the laundry can take all day.
Folding a shirt takes 15 seconds.
Scrubbing down the bathroom can be disgusting.
Cleaning the toilet is…still disgusting, but less overwhelming when you remove it from the larger context of the entire bathroom.
This, I believe is the first time the idea of micro-actions really clicked for me – not to reach a goal, or establish a habit, but to simply get through my day.
Of course, my day may look entirely different from your day (and to be honest, I don't do ALL that housework in one day). You might teach 25 6 year olds, deliver babies, make sales calls, wait tables, write books. All those things are simply descriptions for the little tiny actions that, when put together, create a teacher, a midwife, a salesperson, a waiter, and an author. And in everything we do, there is potential for overwhelm.
Our entire lives are made of tiny actions whether we see it that way or not. Every day we think about EVERYTHING that we have/want to do, and the overwhelm can be paralyzing, but when we break down our day into hours, and minutes, even seconds if we need to, and immerse ourself in each tiny span of time, we can get through whatever overwhelms us, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.

Christian Rios
Nick Carter Accused of Rape by Dream Singer Melissa Schuman, Says He's "Shocked and Saddened" by the Allegations
Christian Rios
Dear Ted:
I was completely shocked to learn Chord Overstreet is on the outs with Glee. He's one of the few underclassmen they have, demoting him seems counter intuitive with the impending graduation situation. Any behind the scenes reason that might make this make sense?
Dear Out of Tune:
Probably not as shocked as Amber Riley, who probably thought she was finally going to nab a storyline that didn't have her worrying about her weight or singing a Dreamgirls hit. And while Chord may pop up occasionally, I'm not terribly surprised he's saying goodbye so soon. His abs could only shine for so long before Ryan Murphy desired new blood.
Dear Ted:
Is Andrew Garfield really hooking up with Emma Stone or is the whole thing just a publicity stunt? And if they are, how serious is it?
Dear Web of Lies:
While my spidey senses say this par-tick twosome may have more-than-convenient timing, it could be the (sorta) real deal. It's definitely not serious—and I doubt it will get to that point—but it sure will help promote the flick.
Dear Ted:
Interesting Blind Vice item regarding King Schlong. Does his significant other know about his wandering eye (and schlong)? But more importantly, is his girlfriend the kind of woman who would turn a blind eye, or would she dump him?
—Cheaty McCheaterson
Dear Queen Schlong:
She should know more than anyone that K.S. isn't exactly the most faithful fellow. But funnily enough, she probably thinks she's the buxom apple of his eyes and had exactly the goodies to end his wandering ways—so no, she wouldn't be too pleased to hear he's got gals on the side.
Dear Ted:
So I know they're the real thing, nevertheless, I'm worried about Sookie and Bil... Um, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Stephen has two kids by two different women he never married, and was seriously involved and broke up with another woman when he met Anna. As much as I'd like to see this marriage as The One, I fear the history doesn't bode well. Your vampy thoughts?
Dear Paq Up:
I think you're being a bit pessimistic, babe. A.P. knows all about her hubby's dubious (or not) past and doesn't mind playing the mommy role to his kiddos, even if they're from other gals. Don't worry about them, it's most certainly the real deal and I'd bet a bit of dough that it'll last.
Dear Ted:
OK Ted, I'll be the first one to admit that I've always found myself laughing at the people in your blog speculating about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's relationship. And yesterday, after reading some news about her new project I couldn't help but wonder: What will happen now? She's doing a trilogy, which means she'll become a bigger and better paid actress... Water For Elephants was great, it did fairly well at the box office… But it was not the big break he needed. Will she leave him when her career takes off? Man, being around obsessed people can mess with your head! LOL.
Dear Career Fear:
These two have never let the biz side of their Hollywood life get in the way of their relaysh, trust. So even if K.Stew has locked in a long-term gig with the Snow White saga, R.Pattz isn't exactly hurting for roles either. Jealousy won't be what comes between this duo.


text: Got some R.O. lump at Wally yesterday. $8 per 20 LB bag. Usually get it at Wally, but always nearly $7 per 10 LB bag in my area. We never see 20 LB bags, and we never see it on sale anywhere. At nearly half my normal price, I am going back for a truck load. Good luck and good smoking.

Dark Souls II - Interview & New Trailer
EDGE interviews Yui Tanimura the Co-director of Dark Souls II.
The PC version of the first Dark Souls wasn't a good port. How did that make the team feel, and what are you doing to ensure that the PC iteration is better this time around?
We understand and accept a lot of the feedback we have received from fans around the world who have played the PC version. We first decided to port over to the PC platform as a result of the petition signed by players around the world. And with our goal to release a PC version as soon as possible, it was a decision to simply port the experience over in the shortest amount of time possible. For the PC version of Dark Souls II, the game development will be based on the PC – we will make sure that the main PC game features are supported and also do our best to attend to a lot of the user feedback that we have received.
I also have a new trailer from Namco-Bandai.
Still considering to go beyond death? Watch this new trailer for a sneak peek of the mysteries and monsters you'll face in Dark Souls II. In the tormented kingdom of Drangleic, a cure to the Curse awaits to be found and countless deaths awaits to be endured.

I am having trouble playing assassin's creed multi player. For starters, it takes forever to start a match. Even when the computer finds 6 players to play with it stays in the loading screen. And when I finally did get into a match, I only received 3 or 4 targets and then I never received any more unless I died and got refreshed with a new target then it wont give me another one.
Am I the only one with these problems and is there a way for me to fix it?
yah this is pretty damn ridiculous, Ubisoft. When it says we have 6/6 or 7/7 players and it sits idle for a few minutes and then goes to a different number like 5/5 or 3/6 or whatever. It's either that or it CONSTANTLY says "JOINING SESSION" and "LOOKING FOR SESSIONS" over and over. The only matches I've been able to play were Invite matches with a friend. Fix this, now!
I have. First game I played, it assigned me a pursuer but never a target. So I had to get my points by making my target kill civilians. Which did not get me into the top 6.... And I have only been able to even get into one other game so far, this matchmaking system is pretty bad right now, where it gave me a few targets, but then stopped giving me targets but kept sending more and more people after me for some reason.
I've been having the same problems with the loading/a couple other problems. Most of the time when I'm in an xbox live group with my friend and we set up the game, we won't be in the same game or one person will be in a game while the other is still searching for one. Also I have been having problems sometimes with returning to the multiplayer menu. It'll just sit on the loading screen and I have to quit to dashboard
yes. although its one of a kind i cant complain about that. and the idea behind it is so awesome. however i think that the multilayer right now is completely broken. you cant block or dodge you attacker except like .5 percent of the time.... which sucks. also y when im in the middle of running does my character just stop to get assassinated. it makes no seance. even tho you may not be looking at them as soon as they start running it should alert you. and the delay and the match search needs to be changed as well i believe.

Release Date: 2009 |
Album Rating: 2.5Good review. I've still never bothered with this album. They hit it big with Fat of the Land and then completely dropped everything good about that album.
Digging: Adimiron - Et Liber Eris
Album Rating: 4.0great review man, I have only heard the 2 singles + World's On Fire and I thought all of them were decent but I'm not really interested in hearing another 8 tracks just like the aforementioned. Idk, maybe I will get this at some point if I'm bored, but most likely (at least for now) this will go unchecked by me.
Album Rating: 4.0Didn't mention Take Me To The Hospital, that's a huge tune!
Album Rating: 4.0Didn't mention Take Me To The Hospital, that's a huge tune!
Really enjoy this album but not as good as Jilted or FoTL
"The Prodigy more or less made modern electronic music what it is today"
"The first five tracks on that disc were as good as anything Prodigy had but the disc quickly faded after that."
Narayan, Firestarter and Climbatise is one of the biggest three punch combos i've ever heard.
Decent review but you don't mention enough about the music except Omen.
Warrior's Dance is your fav track. Why? And what does it sound like?
No mention of Dave Grohl drumming on Run With The Wolves either
I haven't listened to this for a bit, it did grow on me a lot though.
Album Rating: 3.0@ Deviant... thanks for the comments... but I am going to disagree.
The first two points are a matter of opinion, so they can't be "wrong". I am curious to know who you think had more influence on dance music since the mid 90's.
As far as the music and what it sounds like, in the very first paragraph I give a description of what they did sound like and the throughout the review I point to them going back to their roots. I guess my thought was that people would tie their "roots' back to the first paragraph.
I also go into detail on Omen, Thunder and Omen reprise. I don't know how much detail I should go into, I thought a sentence was enough.
I mention Warrior Dance in relation to the vocal samples on the entire album, I didn't want to go further than that.
Don't take this as me being defensive. I am really starting to love writing reviews and I want to get better, so I welcome the comments. I just want to see what your feedback is on what I just wrote.
i still need to listen to this
Digging: Beastmilk - Climax
I might've come off too harsh, trust me wasn't trying to be, just a big Prodigy fanboy.
"The Prodigy more or less made modern electronic music what it is today."
If it is just your opinion (and there's nothing wrong with that) i'd probably mention that just because it's such a bold statement. Imo they didn't make electronica/dance what it is today, I think they set out to turn that genre upside down.
You mention that Experience mixed Jungle with D&B, but they significantly changed their sound after that. While they incorporate elements on IMD from the Experience days (trance vocal samples, synths etc.) there's also huge elements of their other albums too (Colours is musically related to AONO and Warrior's Dance bears a big resemblance to Breathe off of TFOTL).
"The third track, Thunder, is very reminiscent of Wind it Up due to it's reggae sampled vocals."
Still doesn't get across what kind of sound this song is going for, and listening to this album (and any other Prodigy album) you should know that the Prodge like to throw in a lot of different genres.
Just nitpicks man, I do like the review and I pos'd, just little areas that could be improved upon maybe?
Album Rating: 3.0Again, thanks for the feedback. I was just looking for more of your opinion... I see what you are saying about going into the sound a bit more. I also see the elements of past albums that I could've mentioned as well.
I do believe that they have had more influence on electronic music than anyone in the last 15 years, but maybe saying they "made it what it is today" is a little out there. I try not to make hyperbolic statements, I might scale that back if I was to re-write this.
Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Lebanese singer Pascal Mashaalani is currently in the process of filming a new music video for the song "Inta Roohi" (You're my Soul) from her latest album "Sa'eb A'eesh Min Doonak" (I Can't live without you) in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Cairo. The new clip is directed by Ahmad Al Mahdi, marking the he directs a video clip for the singer, the first being "Sa'eb A'eesh Min Doonak".
Mashaalani had recently released her new album, which she had been very secretive about fearing piracy. Pascal revealed that in her new album she cooperated with a good group of poets and composers like Ashraf Salem, Ahmed Alfanawi, Tareq Abu Judeh, Mahmoud Khiami, Boudi Na'oum, Mustafa Awad, Hassan Attieh, Munir Abu Assaf, Ihab Abdo, Ahmed Saleem, Anan Mohammed, and Hani Abdul Kareem. The singer stressed that she will appear in a new look for, but without undergoing any plastic surgery, noting that a person can easily look different without having any operations.
Mashaalani revealed that she is going to publicly announce her engagement to her personal hairdresser. Pascal added that what most attracted her to her to be fiancé is the fact that he has a sense of humor and is very sensitive.
Pascal described her new love affair as being a very hot one and that she is very happy to have finally found her match. The singer added that she is the type of person who cannot live without love in her life and will announce her engagement in the very near future.

There are only 17 days left until our Nature Gardens and Nature Lab exhibits open! This makes me extremely excited and a little bit nauseous. To cope with the craziness, all I have to do is go and visit our new Nature Lab babies. Just in case you're feeling stressed out too, here's some baby love for you: This is our new program opossum, Didelphis virginiana. She is a rescue animal that we were lucky enough to get from a local rehabber. She is blind in one eye (from a dog attack) which makes her unreleasable, and therefore our newest and cutest ambassador for L.A. wildlife.
Look she smiles, even though she's blind in one eye! We also have 14 baby Norway rats, Rattus norvigicus! They are currently in training to move into their new home which will be decked out with lots of toys including ladders, wheels, tubes, and a see-saw or two.
Our baby rats snuggle up for a nap You've already met our harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex spp., but here is a much better close up of the babies, aka larvae. You'll be able to visit them in the Nature Lab and watch their older sisters caring for them.
Antlings are cute too! Recently one of our crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, had about 100 babies hatch. The fry (that's what you call a baby crayfish...not because they're good eating though) are about the size of a quarter and they zip around tank town like anything. This is mostly because they are looking for food, and trying to escape being eaten by the adults. What can I say, it's a hard life!
Biggy-baby and not-so-biggy-baby hanging out together. Last but not least, here is one of our California Newts, Taricha torosa. Did you know that baby newts are called efts? If you are an avid L.A. Times crossworder, then you already know this, I swear eft is in the puzzle, like every other week!
Who could say no to one of our baby newts? Want to meet our new babies? Come by the Nature Lab after it opens on June 9!

On Sunday, I joined two amazing people, Jenny Price and Lynn Garrett, on the Hidden L.A. River Tour. Yes people, L.A. does indeed have a river, one with real flowing water, real wildlife, and people like Jenny and Lynn, who are really passionate about it. It was an awesome adventure to explore our river with such knowledgeable and enthusiastic people! The morning started bright and early at 9 am at the L.A. River Center and Gardens, where many river-based non-profits have their offices. We quickly figured out the carpool situation, since it was a driving/walking tour of the river, and got a brief introduction that outlined the six rivery stops that were ahead of us. Without much further ado, we piled in our cars and headed to our first stop on the river. We didn't have far to travel. The first stop was only five miles north of our starting point, and as we drove we followed the river's course (though we were travelling against the current). We exited the 5 freeway and passed over the historic Los Feliz bridge (built in 1925), hung a right into a sleepy Atwater Village neighborhood, and parked at the dead end of Dover street. As we alighted from our cars and followed the path to the river, what we saw shocked some of us. Laid out in front of us was our river, and it was so very different from the lifeless, concretized, dangerous place that it is sometimes portrayed as. In fact it was the polar opposite! This is what we saw:
Not your stereotypical viewof the L.A. river As the image shows, this part of the river, a.k.a. the Glendale Narrows, is lush and full of life. It doesn't have a concrete bottom—the water table sits so high, it bubbles up on a regular basis—so there are lots of plants growing and lots of animals living in this valuable urban habitat. It was also a great place to play, in fact the kids on the tour even waded in (this made me smile really big) and were looking at all the wildlife that calls this part of the river home. While we all explored this section of the river, our leaders gave us about half an hour to do this, we saw a lot of bird life including a Great Egret, a Double-crested Cormorant, two Muscovy Ducks, and a few groups of Black-necked Stilts, American Coots, and Mallards. We also spotted some interesting invertebrate life including a few Green Darner dragonflies, 20 or so Pacific Forktail damselflies, a few Fiery Skipper butterflies, and last but not least one kid discovered a one-pincered Red Swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, poking along the river's edge!
Crayfish, aka the one-armed bandit! Red swamp crayfish, a.k.a. crawdads or mudbugs, are an introduced species of freshwater crustacean very common in the ponds and waterways of L.A.. These lobster look-alikes are edible and originally from the South Central United States where they have been harvested for food for many years. Today these creatures are found all over the world from Asia, to Africa, and Europe too. Their spread can be connected to purposeful introductions as a food source, and accidental introductions for a myriad of reasons including disposal of unwanted pets. Here in California few people "fish" for them (though I have seen families doing it in Ferndell Park), and few predators exist to keep their numbers in balance, consequently their populations are numerous. Scientists paying close attention to the impacts of this introduced crustacean have discovered they can negatively impact our local California newt, Taricha torosa, populations. Although poisonous in the adult form—these newts secrete tetrodoxin through their skin, which repels most predators—the egg and larval stages are non-posoinous. This renders these lifestages easy targets for predators such as crayfish and other introduced species like the American Bullfrog. Paired with habitat loss and human alteration, this cute newt is on the decline. And Now Back to the L.A. River Tour: After the excitement of finding the crayfish wore off, we all packed back into our cars and meandered down river to explore five other locations. We jumped from Marsh Park in Frogtown, to the Arroyo Seco confluence under the 110 and 5 freeway interchange, then headed downtown to the famous Grease filming location under the 6th street bridge. We briefly stopped for a cactus and mole filled lunch in Boyle Heights, and then continued exploring the most industrialized part of the river at the Maywood Riverfront park. Last but not least we concluded our tour at the Dominguez Gap Wetlands in Long Beach, a man-made wetland that helps to clean the river's waters before it recharges our groundwater. Phew! I wouldn't want to give too much of this amazing tour away, you really have to experience it for yourself. I know I'll be taking many of my friends and colleagues down to the river, especially to the Glendale Narrows area. Check out Hidden L.A. to find out when the next L.A. River Tour is scheduled!
Maywood Riverfront Park a la Instagram! One of the most heavily industrialized stretches of our river.

Swimming & Water Conditions
Swimming and water contact is never permitted at Lake Chabot. Now with the presence of toxic algae in the lake, we recommended that you avoid all skin contact with lake water; supervise your children and dogs, at all times to keep them away from the water. If your skin touches the water, rinse with tap water. Download: Current Water Notice Flyer
- Blue-green algae blooms are common, but toxic blooms are a rare, natural phenomenon most likely caused by the drought. They're occurring at several other lakes around the state, as well.
- People and dogs should not have contact with water that contains toxic algae. Although in most cases the effects will be mild, high levels of exposure can lead to serious illness or death.
- The Park District is warning visitors to Lake Chabot to stay out of the water. Swimming – by people or dogs – is not allowed at the lake regardless, because Lake Chabot is a back-up drinking water supply for the East Bay.

About The Park
Lake Chabot Reservoir was built in 1874-75 as a primary source of water for the East Bay. The 315-acre lake was closed to recreation for 91 years. Legislation passed in the 1960s opened the lake for controlled recreational uses. Currently, the lake serves as a standby emergency water supply. For this reason, visitors are asked to observe certain necessary regulations to keep the waters pure.

Park Activities
Fishing and Boating
The 315-acre, well-stocked lake is open for fishing and boating throughout the year. It is a popular Bay Area fishing destination, ideal for kids out for their first fishing experience. The Lake Chabot Marina Cafe offers a well-stocked bait and tackle shop and is open year round (closed Thanksgiving and Christmas). It features a restaurant that serves snacks, breakfast, and lunch. Fishing at Lake Chabot requires a current California Fishing License with stamps and an EBRPD Daily Fishing Access Permit for all anglers aged 16 and older. California Fish and Game regulations apply. Fishing licenses and EBRPD permits may be purchased at the Marina Cafe. No live fish may be used as bait. All other legal bait and lures are permitted. Fish may be cleaned only at the cleaning station along the walk near the parking lot. Catch-and-release angling is encouraged for bass, bluegill, and crappie. However, the release of badly hooked game fish and all non-game fish is not allowed. Please bring any unwanted and tagged fish and your completed creel census card (on back of fishing permit) to the Chabot Marina. With your cooperation, we can maintain an effective fish management program to ensure that you will always have good fishing. For more information, see our Fishing page.
Rental boats and tour boat rides are available at the marina. The tour boat may be chartered for lake tours by calling (510) 247-2526. Naturalist-led tours may be scheduled by calling (510) 544-3187 or see the online Field Trip Application form. Rental boats include row boats, canoes, pedal boats, kayaks, Duffy boats, and boats with electric trolling motors. For more information on rental boats see Urban Park Concessionaires online or call (510) 247-2526. Canoes, kayaks, and scull craft 20 feet and under may be carried in and launched ($2). Inflatables with 3 or more chambers are allowed. Float tubes may be used at Lake Chabot. Persons using float tubes must wear waders or other wetsuit material to prevent body contact with the water in the reservoir. For more information, see our Boating and Sailing page.

Down the garden path?
THERE was a sense of déjà vu as Nick Clegg addressed the National House Building Council's 76th annual lunch. The venue had been kept top secret for security reasons before it was finally revealed to be the Royal Opera House, in London's Covent Garden... just like last year.
Then the Deputy Prime Minister gave his speech and again there was a sense of having heard it before.
It started off well, with Mr Clegg praising the NHBC for its "ferocious defence of quality" and then waxing eloquently about how homes are so much more than bricks and mortar.
"They are where we grow up, where we raise our own families, where we grow old. They tell the story of our shared, national experiences – you can plot our history by our houses: the UK's industrialisation, two world wars, the technological revolution, the population boom, events that have been embodied in the kinds of houses we have built," he said.
He elaborated on how important our homes are for the future, how they are key to diverse and vibrant communities. Then he talked about climate change and the coalition's commitment for all new homes to be zero carbon from 2016, a pledge supported by the NHBC.
But, bluntly, no matter what we do, Britain will not finish this journey unless we build enough houses
Having beefed up the coalition by talking about a fairer society, an economy less reliant on banks and all the other feelgood factors – education, tax cuts, localism and so on – Mr Clegg arrived finally at the main point: "But, bluntly, no matter what we do, Britain will not finish this journey unless we build enough houses. Our communities will only sustain strong local economies if they can attract and house the employers, high-skilled workers and consumers they need. And right now, the numbers are not looking good. We're already building 100,000 fewer houses than we need each year. "
As Mr Clegg reminded us, the lack of supply is pushing rents and prices so high that unless you have rich parents you will struggle to get that dream home. Even now, most folk don't set foot on the property ladder until their late thirties.
Having led up to how the coalition wants to build Britain out of recession, the Deputy Prime Minister admitted that new development would always create controversy. But he also said the politics of housing were changing and he hinted that opposition to development was likely to become less marked as parents saw their sons and daughters frozen out of the property market.
C alling for all parties to get behind the housing push, Mr Clegg admitted that deregulating planning, converting empty homes and providing financial incentives for first-time buyers would never be enough to plug the shortfall.
And so he arrived, after another short detour, at the Big Idea, which in a nutshell is to build new garden cities similar to those created in the early 20th century.
The names Ebenezer Howard and Raymond Unwin may not be familiar now but it was they who drew up plans for the modern, self-contained, garden cities such as Letchworth and Welwyn.
In painting an idyllic picture of garden cities and garden suburbs, Mr Clegg did not pause to wonder at what had been swept away in the process, referring only briefly to "Victorian slum clearances", and neither did he venture to criticise any of the rash infrastructure decisions imposed on places in the name of the car. In extolling the garden city movement, Mr Clegg forgot all about lots of details and suddenly the 1946 New Towns Act that created Corby, Basildon and Bracknell was a godsend.
Well, many may be far from sure of that. However, the argument that we must start creating new places that answer the needs of modern British families is compelling.
But in truth Mr Clegg's garden cities for the 21st century idea is nothing new. Few people can have forgotten about eco-towns, that flagship New Labour project. Gordon Brown, in his new position as prime minister, made eco-towns his first big policy announcement. The recession in a large part put all that aside and by the end of 2009 the idea had been quietly dropped.
Let's hope that whether they are garden cities or eco-towns, this government will start to solve the problem of affordable housing for our children and for young families in rural areas rather than using housing policy to make soundbites.
Perhaps something to prevent the "raiding" of new developments by foreign investors who will never live in this country could have formed part of the Clegg speech. But he steered well clear of that formidable issue.

I am sorry, I cannot help with your question.
I wanted you to know that whatever you decide, wherever you post, we support you.
Although I never wanted to S/D in my gut, I understand the worry of making the wrong choice.
Follow your heart and keep your needs in front of you.

I still don't know if we will stay married and be a success story. But I do love him. I'm not a victim anymore. I'm here by choice. And he is still fighting. He is barring his soul and digging deep and giving it his all. He tells me even if I can't stay he will still fight. And that is slowly becoming enough. Will it ever 'be enough'. I don't know but I'm making my peace with that. That answer wasn't good enough for me 6 months ago. But I see now what all the veterans say when they say time is the four letter word. Had I made my decision 6 months ago, I think it would have been the wrong one.
I know exactly how you feel. While I am only about 5 months in since DDay I have to say that I am fighting with myself every single day not to end our marriage. There are moments (very brief) that I think, ok I can do this. But, then reality sets in, I start thinking about everything and I know down in my very soul I cannot stay with him. I don't love him anymore. I really don't. The depth of this pain has killed anything and everything I feel for him. Actually, the only things I feel for him are contempt and hate. It drives every thought in my head.
I'm not really sure what keeps me from pulling the plug. Probably some fear just because it means such a huge change to my life. But, I would rather have those big changes than live every day with the hurt and anger. As long as I stay with him I know I will be hurt and angry - along with a million other feelings. I can't live every day looking at him, knowing what he did, the choices he made repeatedly to betray me. That knowledge eats at me like a cancer.
We've been doing nothing but fighting this last month - seriously heated arguments. There are moments of peace but anytime we try to sit down and talk about anything it just turns into a huge fight. I don't want to live like this. I'm 53 years old and hopefully have some time left in my life. I don't want to spend years trying to "fix" this mess he created. 2-5 years for recovery???? WTF???? I applaud anyone who can hang in there for that amount of time - I really do. But, I know in my heart I will never forget this and it will take forever to forgive it.
He keeps asking me to forgive him....begging....pleading...saying, "I will never hurt you again. I promise." And all I want to say is, "You should never have hurt me like this period." Why in the fuck (pardon me but anger is setting in) does he believe that I am supposed to forgive this and trust him again? Why can he not see that it isn't enough to say or even prove for that matter that he won't do it again? He already did it!!! The damage is done. The trust is destroyed. The sense of betrayal is almost suffocating. How in the world does anyone get through that and stay in the marriage?
I keep asking him, "Tell me why I should want to stay in this marriage and try to "fix" it after everything you did?" He just says because he loves me, we had 18 wonderful years together (his words), we are sealed in the temple (religious ceremony), and I know we can have that again." Well where the hell were those thoughts when he decided to cheat?
Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people who cheat????????
Ok, off my rant now. Sorry! I am just so hurt and angry. I don't know how to move past it other than just bail out of this damned nightmare.
[This message edited by JT4588 at 2:30 PM, April 12th (Saturday)]
I'm 10 months out and it is still hard on a daily basis. Some days I have a feeling of peace and I think I can get through this. The next day I am fed up and looking at housing for me and my kids and reading S/D on SI.
By bouncing back and forth so frequently, I don't have a clear picture of the future. We are taking a year to work on ourselves with the marriage being second priority. It seems to work for me, because I don't have pressure to make a decision and I don't have to try and be a good wife.
This crap is hard and I remember someone using the status "not divorcing" and that seems to be apt most days.
I just hope that when we know what our future is, we really know it in our head, heart, and gut.
Sending you strength.
I'm 3.5 years out. I know it was a deal breaker for me, and I hurt most every day. I tell him I am done, and I argue with him at least a couple times a month...not about us healing, but it's more me trying to get him to understand my feelings. I know my feelings for him....I am not in love with him. I care for him and I love him as a person/friend, but not as a husband. Though I talk about us moving into a bigger house and other things that normally come with staying in a marriage, he knows that I am only in it for the kids and because I can't support myself much less myself and two kids. I will keep my vows as far as not going outside the marriage, but I cannot keep my vows to honor him or respect him. He does not respect me. I fully intend on one day living on my own but that will be once the kids are grown.
We are house mates...that is it. We are not intimate in any way, though he says he loves me. We have been intimate in the past, but I will no longer disrespect myself by satisfying him and degrading myself.
I know it's over and I know he knows it is over (though he won't say it). He knows what I needed to heal and he made little effort to help me heal. And that hurts more than the EA.
With that being said, I felt this way for a long, long time. It's been almost 4 years, and I'm just now getting to the point that I like my husband again (and that's not even all the time). For years, probably 3 years, I couldn't stand him most of the time. To the point that I didn't want anything to do with him! However, I made the decision early on that I was committed to my marriage, and would not consider divorce unless he cheated on me again. While not openly remorseful (he's very unemotional), he did do everything I asked of him, and has been completely transparent, honest, etc. I've never had any reason to question his fidelity... And it still took four years to feel optimistic about my marriage.

Orthogonal Sensors for Trace Detection
Download Project Report (Phase 2, Year 4)
Project Description
Overview and Significance
Currently, a portable explosives trace detection (ETD) system, capable of continuously monitoring peroxide-based and nitrogen-based explosives, is not available. Therefore, providing such a capability to the Homeland Security Enterprise is the goal of this research. Our ETD system, essentially a "digital dog nose" in its final form, will be small enough to be easily transported from place to place and will have the selectivity and sensitivity (detection limits) of a dog's nose. This passive, non-invasive ETD system will provide a complementary tool to the existing Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE) toolbox, that would add to technologies currently available for screening purposes.
Detection and, more importantly, identification of explosives in the vapor phase is a difficult task. One of the most important challenges in trace detection that our sensor addresses is false positives and false negatives. To mitigate these false signals, libraries of characteristic signatures using our thermodynamic and conductometric sensing platforms will be generated as part of our continued effort to expand the library of threats. As a result, our sensor responses are not only redundant but are orthogonal as well.
[A] strength of the project is the ability to detect both nitrogen-based and peroxide-based explosives, making it a valuable addition to existing detection techniques available to the Homeland Security Enterprise.Phase 2, Year 3 Annual Report

The Cow Palace is hosting the first-ever International Cannabis and Hemp Expo which celebrates all things marijuana.
There are vendors, speakers, booths and bands all ready for anyone who wants to see the latest and greatest products focused on growing and ingesting pot.
The weekend event is the stage for Oakland's mega-store iGrow to introduce its latest "thing."
IGrow's Dahr Mann has a new option for those wanting to grow their own pot, for medical purposes of course. Mann helped come up with a new concept that puts pot growing on wheels. Tom Patton with GrowOp Technologies partnered with Mann to develop a mobile marijuana growing station they call "buds."
A bud is a trailer fully equipped and ready to grow marijuana. They sell for between $10,000 and $60,000.
"The Little Bud is built so it literally can push right into your garage and again you just add electricity and water and you're good to go...or good to grow," Patton said.
Customer Dexter Gary, who is a lung cancer patient, is considering buy one. "I think it's great. I think instead of having to buy lights and buy the growing material and the pots and everything, having that one complete system works for me. It's going to save me hundreds of dollars over the years," Gary said.
All you need is a 220-power hook up and tap water and you are ready to grow your own pot.
The smallest is the size of a small container truck and the largest is a 53-foot-long big rig.
Mann and Patton were initially hoping to sell 40 for the entire year and they have already sold 37 with little to no advertising.
Lori Preuitt wonders if any Prop. 215 voters saw this one coming while punching their ballots.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Skating officials, seeking to restore credibility to a judging system that has shaken the Winter Olympics, hammered out a reform package Monday while witnesses to a French judge's admission of cheating lambasted her sudden denial.
Suspended judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne wanted to tell the International Skating Union her version of what happened before the 11-member council met in a closed session at a downtown hotel. The ISU denied her request, but council member and French skating federation president Didier Gailhaguet said she would be allowed to speak at another time.
ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta, meantime, said the council meeting was "very positive."
"We have done a very good job on reform," he said, without elaborating.
Le Gougne provided the swing vote in a 5-4 decision that gave the gold to a Russian couple over Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier. After an outcry and allegations of vote-swapping among ice skating judges the ISU and International Olympic Committee awarded the Canadians their own gold medals.
Le Gougne, speaking publicly for the first time since the event, told the French sports daily L'Equipe that she had never made a deal involving the pairs competition.
"I judged in my soul and conscience," Le Gougne said in an interview published Monday. "I considered that the Russians were the best. I never made a deal with an official or a Russian judge."
Le Gougne also told the newspaper she was verbally attacked by ISU technical committee chairperson Sally Stapleford last week in the lobby of the same hotel where the ISU council met Monday, and felt physically threatened because of the way she had voted.
American attorney John Jackson, an ISU championship judge, witnessed Le Gougne's outburst, along with Stapleford and two other technical committee members, Walburga Grimm of Germany and Britta Lindgren of Sweden. He said Le Gougne has it all wrong.
"The French judge's characterization of what happened is inaccurate," Jackson said. "Her admission was unsolicited, unequivocal and clear. There's no question about it. It was witnessed by at least four parties."
Jackson also laughed off Le Gougne's assertion that Stapleford came up with the idea that the French judge may have been pressured to vote as she did by Gailhaguet and that Stapleford was part of a Canadian conspiracy to reverse the decision. Stapleford was born in Britain, grew up there and still lives in London, but also has a Canadian passport because her father was Canadian.
"When accusations get that ridiculous, it's an indication that people are running scared," Jackson said.
Stapleford also denied Le Gougne's allegation Monday, saying she saw Le Gougne in the hotel and she "ran off in a very emotional state."
"Obviously, the lady is a very emotional woman," Stapleford said. "I can't say exactly what she said because it's confidential, but it was in the letter I wrote with two others. There were numerous witnesses."
Stapleford said Grimm and Lindgren also signed the letter that was submitted to the referee as required by ISU rules. Jackson said he wrote another letter to Cinquanta and gave a copy to the referee last Wednesday.
For the ISU, the thornier problem is how to stop anything like this from happening again.
Two years ago, an attempt to overhaul figure skating's judging system failed by just a few votes. Now there is no choice. After decades of whispered deals and perplexing decisions, the end of the system may be at hand.
Cinquanta promised to present a thorough overhaul of the judging system. The most significant of those reforms would be ending the bond between judges and their national federations.
"Judges need to be under the ISU banner, not the national federation banner," Stapleford said.
"It would helpful if the ISU did the appointments to the international level, not members," she said Sunday. "The ISU should try to break the tie between member federations and judges."
That idea was proposed two years ago at the full ISU Congress during a meeting in Quebec City, Canada, but failed to receive the two-thirds majority vote needed to pass.
Cinquanta said he has prepared his own plan to bring more discipline and accountability to judging. He declined to elaborate on details.
"The idea is to change judging, to make it safer, better and improve the system," ISU spokesperson Aline Bussat Ingwersen said.
None of the changes was likely to be implemented at these Olympics, which end Sunday.

I'm a new user of VE and on free trial.
I've a created a Sketchup model of a three story house (size is 3.9 MB). I've managed to identify all the rooms in the house correctly. But when I want to export by clicking the Launch VE button, it gets stuck on 'Convert model to XML 6.0%'.
I've tried exporting them in parts, and exporting it into a GEM file to combine them later. But when I open a new file and try to import the GEM files, VE stopped working and had to be closed.
Any idea what to do?

This is pretty cool. For years circular barren patches of land, known as Fairy Circles and typically found in the grasslands of the western part of Southern Africa have remained a mystery, but thanks to computer modeling we may finally have an answer.
Cristian Fernandez-Oto at the Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, along with a couple of colleagues, used computer simulations to show that the circles are actually naturally occurring patters which start to appear when plants compete for water in arid conditions.
As MIT's Technology Review points out, the model is actually fairly simple and based on the fact that a single plant's root structure can cover a much larger area than the part of the plant that appears above the surface.
It then posits that there are two uniform states of vegetation: uniform grassland and the bare states. The Fairy Circles, they say, result from strong interaction between interfaces connecting the two states — a front if you will.
The model focuses on this interaction to show that when the barren region gets smaller, the plants along the front come closer together and their root systems begin to interact.
But, the root systems can only go so far and the plants can't get closer than the root system allows. And, as the computer model shows, the most efficient way of packing plants around a barren patch is in the form of a circle.
The model also predicts that the more arid the region, the bigger the circles will be just as they are in the real world. Their diameters vary between two and 15 metres, with the most extreme ones found further North in the drier part of the region.
"Our analysis explain how a circular shape and fringes are formed, and how the aridity level influences the size of the fairy circles," they say.
There you have it then. If you have an ancient mystery that needs solving, forget Sherlock or Hercule Poirot, all you need is a little sophisticated maths (okay probably a lot) and some advanced computer modeling.

As promised by the EA, it's revised Enforcement and Sanctions Guidance has now been published. See Section E for the additional details on ESOS https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/environment-agency-enforcement-and-sanctions-statement#history.
There is also a new section 9.1 in the ESOS Compliance Guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/466515/LIT_10094.pdf
What's good is that while the EA is acknowledging that there may be instances where organisations are unable to complete a compliant assessment by 5 December 2015, or where lead assessors are asked to take on work which they do not believe they can deliver by this date, they are not advocating an approach which relaxes requirements so much that it makes a mockery out of the regulations and penalises firms that have done things right and achieved compliance in a timely manner.
Where are you in the process? What is clear is that organisations should be doing as much as they can to comply before the deadline, including appointing a Lead Assessor (even if they cannot complete the work prior to the deadline because of other commitments).
Key points in synopsis:
* The deadline for compliance is not moving. Scheme regulators cannot amend this deadline.
* Qualifying organisations that do not complete a compliant ESOS assessment and notify the EA by 5 December 2015 will be at risk of enforcement action including the possibility of civil penalties.
* EA is not normally expecting to take enforcement action for late notification provided it is received by 29 January 2016. This is not an extension to the legal deadline. Rather, it reflects their ability to exercise discretion when taking enforcement action.
* EA is giving until 30 June 2016 to achieve ISO 50001 (international energy management standard) certification as a form of compliance.
* The focus of the EA is on bringing bodies into compliance using enforcement notices where necessary (normally allowing up to 3 months for organisations to remedy the outstanding compliance actions), serving civil penalties only in the most serious cases.
* Organisation that cannot comply fully by 5 December need to inform the EA of this by 5th Dec, giving information on why they have been unable to comply and when they expect to submit their notification of compliance.
* If an organisation makes a late notification the EA will expect them to keep records in their evidence pack of their efforts towards ESOS compliance, including appointment of a lead assessor, prior to the deadline.
* Evidence of efforts made towards compliance prior to the deadline will be taken into account in considering any enforcement action.
Check out how our ESOS Auditor solution can help you collect the required data, show how far along in the process you are, enable you to share the workload across different team members and connect easily with your Lead Assessor. As well as documenting your ESOS audit and saving opportunity outcomes – all in an automatically generated report. Plus, our solution meets Evidence Pack requirements if you are called for Audit.

OCEANSIDE -- Medical investigators on Saturday identified a teenager killed in a crash on College Boulevard in Oceanside Friday evening as 19-year-old Ian C. Weidner.
Weidner was pronounced dead at the scene after the vehicle he was riding in struck a utility pole and a tree near Avenida de la Plata around 7:40 p.m. Friday.
Authorities have not released the name of the driver, who apparently lost control of the vehicle during heavy showers before veering off the road and crashing.
According to the San Diego County medical examiner's office, Weidner was a college student and a resident of Oceanside, where he lived with his parents.

Hello Everyone,
I will be travelling to Japan in October, and will be staying at a Ryokan 20 minutes outside of Kyoto. I will only be there for two nights before I move on. I have never been to Kyoto, but I read that it can be difficult to reach the historical and traditional sights because they are spread-out in the modern city, and many of the signs are in Japanese (which I don't' currently speak, but I am trying to learn the basics). I will be relying specifically on public transportation. I will also need to be back at the Ryocan for dinner. Could you please advise of specific areas in Kyoto that I could easily take public transportation to, spend a few hours visiting historical and traditional sights, and have some lunch? Also, what things should I concentrate on since I am only there for two days?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Kyoto for Just 2 Days - What Should I See and Do?
Hello Everyone,
Report Abuse
The historic sights in Kyoto are easy to get using public transport but as they are spread out to need to plan in advance exactly which sights you'd like to visit. You really need to read the list of sights in Kyoto and choose what appeals to you. I've been to Kyoto many times and have not been to all the sights. You can see/do it all in Kyoto and what you visit will depend on your specific interests.
Report Abuse
Have you seen the above site - the attractions are grouped by section of the city so you can try to figure out what you want to see and group it by area.
I agree with RJames - I have been to Kyoto only twice and have barely scratched the surface except for the most obvious places...
I have tried to follow your itinerary - it seems after your two nights outside of Kyoto you will go to another ryokan/onsen for 2 nights? imo, I would stay in a hotel in Kyoto rather than the out of town ryokan - although it is 20 minutes away by train, you still need to get to the station and make your connection - that will not leave you all that much time...just my opinion obviously - I don't know what is most important to you....

Sorry typo in my first post, last sentence should read.....You can't see/do it all in Kyoto and what you visit will depend on your specific interests.
Mara has provided you with good advice and has posted the website that I just couldn't remember. It's got tons of helpful information and is very user friendly.
I do agree that staying out of town in Kyoto is less than ideal. I too suggest you stay in the city itself in a location with good transport connections. Two nights only gives you one full day in the city and that is not enough time to do Kyoto justice.

VeeDubb - going along with our previous posts, you could stay in the Dormy Inn in Kyoto - it has a large bath and has been recommended by ht and others on this board - although not that particular location - and then you could get a nice kaiseki dinner in Kyoto - so the benefits of a ryokan, sort of, and being in the city as well. I can't find my link to a ryokan in Kyoto itself right now....
Report Abuse
I thought that the point of your plan to stay outside of Kyoto was to relax and spend time out of a city. For example, staying overnight in Ohara and exploring it by day. After dinner at your ryokan, what will you do in the evening out there?
Report Abuse
As your itinerary stands now you will have one day to explore Kyoto. After your first breakfast in the Biwa-ko ryokan you can leave to explore a section of Kyoto that interests you with instructions and detailed explanations left for you by Mara in her Japan-Guide link above. I would do the sites in the eastern portion of Kyoto personally. You don't have time to see it all so don't ruin your one day by trying. Leave time to be back at your ryokan at 17:00 for dinner(if included in your plan).
With just one day I would use taxis to get from place to place once in Kyoto to save you time which is what is precious to you in your situation. I once had a similar situation during cherry blossom season. We took a taxi from the JR Kyoto station to the Hirano Shrine. Then from there to Ginkakuji where we visited then walked the Philosopher's Path to the end at the Nazenji Temple. There we took a taxi to the Pontocho area for lunch. After lunch we took a walk on Sanjo dori for a while shopping then another taxi to Kiyomizudera for the sakura views. We walked down to Sanjusangendo where we toured then took a taxi back to the JR Kyoto station. We were back at the station by 16:30. IIRC the taxi fares amounted to around ¥4100 that day but to me was worth every ¥ in the time and frustration saved taking the public transport when in a hurry.
Orrrrrr if you want to relax you can explore Biwa-ko after your breakfast, walking the lake shore and adjacent small town area then head to Ohara to walk leisurely taking in the temple and sights of the quintessential small town of Japan probably having a simple lunch in a small noodle shop or izakaya and a very relaxed day then making it back in time to your ryokan for a nice long hot soak in the hot tub before another fantastic dinner.......oh the choices one has to make. Some of us are very lucky people.

I get the sense from the other post that VeeDub wants to stay at this particular ryokan at Lake Biwa.
I agree w/hawaii above that it looks like you only have one day for Kyoto. You'll want the first part of a day to be spent in the area around Lake Biwa and your ryokan, I think, as after all you are staying in a scenic area, you might as well enjoy it and the ryokan.
So if you only have one day for Kyoto, you need to research what is available and decide on what you can fit in in one day.
Personally I would spend half of the day in Higashiyama, an area rich w/history and well preserved. It is a very walkable area w/great temples, shrines, shopping streets, tea houses, and restaurants. See Kiyomizudera, it was one of 21 finalists as one of the new 7 Wonders of the World. Do a walking tour through Higashiyama and decide what temples to go into (I particularly love Shoren-in). Walk through the Gion area.
Then choose one other area or particular site you are interested in. Areas like Fushimi (with the Tori gates), Arashiyama/Sagano (requires time, further away by electric tram ride), or more convenient to Hiagashiyama (just a short walk) there is the Path of Philosophy (including Nanzenji), or Nijo Castle, or perhaps you will choose to see Kinkaku-ji the golden temple (there is a good restaurant on site there, very authentic Zen Buddhist cusisine, called Shigetsu). Or perhaps you wil want to book a tea ceremony or other afternoon class.
At any rate, choose one other site or area or activity you want to go to, and do that with the other part of your one day.
Don't worry so much about taking taxis in Kyoto. They are NOT really expensive like the taxis in Tokyo. You will need to utilize taxis since you have such a limited time; buses are good but they get very full on many routes and take a lot of time waiting for them, many stops, etc. Take a taxi from Kyoto station to Arashiyama and then possibly a taxi to your second area, depending on where it is.
End your day close to Kyoto station, walk though the shops at Teramachi-dori after it crosses Oike st. and where it becomes a covered arcade as it runs down to the food shopping area, NIshiki Market (although be aware that Nishiki closes early evening) and Shijo st. Then catch the train (actually I think it is two trains, you need to switch) back to your ryokan for dinner.

Higashiyama info:
The two websites above are the ones I find very valuable, JNTO and japan-guide. I like the forum at japan-guide also. It is a good compliment to fodors Asia board. There are some people on that japan-guide forum who live in or near Kyoto who can give really good help w/directions and details. In particular a poster named "Uji."

Thanks again for the very helpful suggestions!
I actually switched from the Lake Biwa ryokan to a nice hotel very close to JR Kyoto station. I will already be staying at a similar ryokan during another portion of my trip, so I switched to a nice hotel in central Kyoto to give me the best access to Kyoto and public transportation. Also, I won't be obligated to come back to the ryokan for dinner, so I can have more flexibility and dinner in Kyoto. I will have two solid days in Kyoto.
So far, I am interested in visiting:
Eastern Kyoto: Higashiyama and the Geisha District in Gion
Northern Kyoto: Ohara and the Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion)
What do you think about spending one day exploring Eastern Kyoto and the other in Northern Kyoto?
Thanks again for your suggestions!
Report Abuse
Sounds good. You can access my trip report which includes Ohara by searching for "emd" (not emd3). Look at the member profile for emd and the first post is my trip report from 3/05, my 1st trip to japan. Scroll down to the last day of the report in Japan, that is the day I went to Ohara alone.
I am not sure how to combine transportation to Kinkakuji and Ohara. The bus is best to get to Ohara, I think it starts at Kyoto Station and follows the river up north through town (I got on it close to Westin Miyako area). Hopefully Hawaiitraveler or someone else can give you some hel pn combining the transportation btwn those two points.
I said above that there is a Zen Buddhist restaurant Shigetsu on the grounds of Kinkakuji. That is not right. That restaurant is on the grounds of another temple. The Zen Buddhist rest. called Izusen that we went to was on the grounds of Diatokuji templs, not far from Kinkakujithat is covered in my 2nd trip report, which you'll see under "emd" also). Izusen also has a location close to Kyoto Station. While we did not particularly like the food, it was an experience.
What days of the month will you be in Kyoto? Want to be sure you don't miss a temple market day if you are there on those days. And what hotel are you staying at near Kyoto station? People on this board have stayed at most of the good hotels in that area, might have some tips for you.

If still planning, you could look into the "Three Sisters Inn," near the Heian Shrine in Kyoto. It is a traditional minshuku, with tatami rooms, futon, Japanese bath, Japanese menu, etc. Very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, and friendly to Westerners. Others like this (e.g., the Dormy Inn, mentioned above) may also be available.
My recollection of Kyoto is that it was very easy getting around, using both buses and taxis. The names on street signs were written in both Japanese and Roman characters.
Sorry for the delayed comments. Hope it can be of use to you or to some future visitor to Kyoto.

VeeDub and Dave: Three Sisters fan here. (The Annex) Perfect accomodations for us..very comfortable and right on the bus line a block away .We could walk the Philosopher's Path
to the Golden Pavilion amd easily pick up another bus to other sights.
We also found The Miho Museum fascinating, if just for the remote location. I don't think Three Sisters has a web page..we negotiated everything by fax and it worked fine. Kay Yamada, your hostess, is very helpful.

Dave..here are just a few selected shots which include Three Sisters Annex....
If you had more time I would strongly suggest a trip out to the Miho Museum (I.M. Pei-designed). It's about an hour train-bus ride into a deeply forested area.

Stu: I see that you were there in the springtime, possibly for hanami? Beautiful!
VeeDub: In October the colors of the leaves, especially along the Philosopher's Walk, are amazing! Very close to the Nanzenji Temple there is a restaurant going back to the 1600's, specializing in tofu and tempura. I think the name is something like "Gyuu Dofu(?)." I recommend it highly, but you may need a guide to walk you through the menu.

You will be too early for fall colors in Kyoto in October. Mid to late November would be the time for koyo in Kyoto.

Thank you all for the continued suggestions; I really appreciate it!
Stu – great photos!
I decided to book a Japanese business hotel near JR Kyoto station, because I will be staying at a ryokan in another region, and I will only be in Kyoto one full day/two nights (the other two days I will be travelling at least half of the day, arriving to and leaving Kyoto).
I am considering visiting the following while in Kyoto. Is this too much for one full day?
Eastern Kyoto: Higashiyama and the Geisha District in Gion
Northern Kyoto: Ohara and the Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion)
Thanks again!
Report Abuse
In case you are interested, and to correct my comment above, the ancient restaurant near Nanzenji that I was referring to is "Okutan." The manner in which they typically prepare tofu is called "yudofu." I had heretofore been laboring under both a misconception and a mispronunciation.
However, the food there is outstanding!
Report Abuse
VeeDub, I think you can do your above sites in two days, as you have them laid out above. I just don not know how to get from Kinkakuji to the bus that goes up the side of the river to Ohara, you need to figure that out. No prob doing Higashiyama and Gion in one day. You'll have time to explore the fabulous temples and cuisine in those areas. And shopping, and good food shopping (get some moshi to bring back- try to get some filled w/sakura jelly if it is available, yum!! and sample all the different kinds you can.)
Report Abuse
Thanks, Dave. I made a note of it
Thanks, emd3! Were you referring to "Mochi"? I Googled "Moshi" but did not see anything. Are these confections?
I will be staying near JR Kyoto station. I plan to get to Kyoto early in the morning, drop my stuff off at the hotel, and head right out for sightseeing. Do you recommend seeing Nijo Castle, the Imperial Palace, or Kyoto Tower?
I am planning to take taxis around Kyoto to save time. I could take a taxi to Kinkakuji, and then take a taxi back to Kyoto station where the bus picks up that goes up the side of the river to Ohara. How long does it take to get to Ohara on the bus? How much time do you think I should plan on spending at Kinkakuji, and then at Ohara?
Thanks again for all the help!

I love the strawberry filled mochi but Mrs HT loves the chocolate ones......
Kyoto Tower is not worth the time imho. See transport options for Ohara here:
take the taxi from Kinkakuji back to the Shijo-Kawaramachi bus stop to take the bus to Ohara.....

Rally's $84M IPO, NexGen's $119M Exit Made Quarter One to Remember
The Spring of 2013 will go down in the history of Colorado's tech community as one to remember, with a breakthrough IPO, a nice exit for a leader in the historically vibrant data storage industry, major investment in two startups, and new life for one of the area's leading biotechs.
Here's a quick recap of what we think are the five top stories of the recently completed quarter.
RALLY'S RISE: Rally Software Development kicked the quarter off right with an $84 million IPO on April 12. A team of Rally execs led by CEO Tim Miller and founder and chief technology officer Ryan Martens made the trip to Wall Street, rang the bell to open the New York Stock Exchange, and watched the shares of their company immediately jump 30 percent above the $14 per share it was priced at.
But that was just the start of it. The stock continued its strong performance, closing the quarter at $24.82. The boost came after Rally posted higher than expected revenue in its debut earnings report. Rally's market cap is now $560.6 million.
Rally (NYSE: RALY) has deep roots in Boulder. Martens founded the company, then known as F4 Technologies, in 2001. The company grew into one of Boulder's leading tech companies, and it announced last week it will expand its headquarters in the city.
The company also has deep ties to investors in the community, with much of the early VC support coming from local firms. Mobius, Boulder Ventures, and Vista Ventures were investors.
Rally's IPO and subsequent success is emblematic of several concurrent trends, including the return of mid-sized IPOs for software companies. Locally, Rally's success means something more, as the company is the first Colorado software firm to go public in a long time. Rally's success shows that companies can mature from startups into successful public companies without having to leave home.
NEXGEN SNAPPED UP: NexGen Storage might have been another one of those companies. We won't know, though, because Fusion-IO (NYSE: FIO) snapped up the Louisville, CO-based data storage company for $119 million in mid-April.
Despite only being founded in 2010, NexGen had a solid legacy in Colorado's data storage and networking industry, a sector that helped establish the tech industry in the Boulder area. NexGen was founded by veterans of LeftHand Networks, which HP bought in 2008 for $360 million.
For the record, NexGen wasn't the only Louisville-based company snapped up this year. In February, F5 Networks bought LineRate Systems for a reported $125 million. LineRate develops software-defined networking technology.
GROWING STRONG: Grotech Ventures, an early stage VC firm that's playing an increasingly important role in supporting Colorado startups, announced it had closed a new $225 million fund in May.
Grotech historically had focused on companies in the mid-Atlantic states, but Denver-based general partner Joe Zell has expanded the firm's reach and created a solid record of success. Grotech was an investor in NexGen Storage, and it also has a major investment in LogRhythm, a growing Boulder-based network security company that's on the short list of Colorado companies headed for IPOs or substantial exits. Grotech's other current local investments include Plink, TapInfluence (formerly known as BlogFrog), Spot Right, and GutCheck.
Grotech has been on a roll in Colorado, with two notable exits in 2012: Aztek Networks, a telecom equipment maker, was bought by Genband, and Collective Intellect, a cloud-based social intelligence platform, was bought by Oracle. Each startup was based in Boulder and bought for an undisclosed price.
BIG ROUNDS: By the standards of Silicon Valley or the East Coast, investments in Colorado startups usually are bargains. A couple million in the Series A round followed by a few million more in the Series B round gets you pretty far in this area.
But not far enough for Datalogix and WellTok, which in April closed Series B rounds of $25 million and $18.7 million respectively. Ultimately, those investments might still be bargains.
Datalogix creates and maintains huge databases about consumer behavior and real-world purchasing decisions. According to reports, the Westminster-based company is working closely with Facebook to improve the social network's performance for advertisers. The Series A round Datalogix closed in 2009 was $15 million.
WellTok is a health IT startup that is developing a social network and game platform to encourage healthier living. WellTok has raised a total of $26 million. The company also announced a major addition to its leadership when Jeff Margolis became its CEO. Margolis founded TriZetto, one of the largest heathcare IT companies, and took it public before it was bought in a $1.4 billion leveraged buyout.
BOOSTER SHOT: The quarter's biggest winner, though, might be Boulder-based biopharma Clovis Oncology (NASDAQ: CLVS), which went from critical condition to riding high in the eyes of clinical investigators and investors over the past eight months.
Clovis had a huge June during which it reported positive results for drugs that treat non-small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer, saw its share price skyrocket, and raised $275 million in a secondary public offering. The company's share price has settled in the low $70s after peaking at $86.29 in the days after its results were reported.
That's a far cry from where the company was at the end of last year. In November, Clovis announced Phase 3 trials yielded negative results for its pancreatic cancer drug. That sent the stock's price down to a low of $11.19.
Despite the surge, Clovis says there's a lot of work to be done to prove the two therapies are effective. They remain in Phase 1 and 2 trials, and the company expects to report new findings in the fall.


text: Hello all. I'm finally starting my smoker build! Got the steel for the structure. Will get the sheet steel when I am ready. I've modified the plans based on some Backwoods clone plans I downloaded from this site. It will be a built-in model in my backyard. I am sizing it with an extra large fire box to give me the option to burn sticks or charcoal. The smoke chamber will be about the size of a Piglet-Plus. I will post pics. shortly as I start to put it together. The first question of what I'm sure will be many is regarding the chimney size. I noticed that the piglet plus has two 4"x2" chimneys as it is simply two backwoods parties put together. I am planning on a single 6"x2" smoke stack centered in the 30" wide smoke chamber, and am wondering if I will get enough flow through the chamber, and if the smoke will be even enough. Any thoughts?
