###%%%&&Crucially, Stallman's concept specifically included the idea that no central organization should control editing. This "massively multiplayer" characteristic was in stark contrast to contemporary digital encyclopedias such as Microsoft Encarta, Encyclopædia Britannica, and even Bomis's Nupedia, which was Wikipedia's direct predecessor. In 2001, the license for Nupedia was changed to GFDL, and Wales and Sanger launched Wikipedia using the concept and technology of a wiki pioneered in 1995 by Ward Cunningham.[5] Initially, Wikipedia was intended to complementNupedia, an online encyclopedia project edited solely by experts, by providing additional draft articles and ideas for it. In practice, Wikipedia quickly overtook Nupedia, becoming a global project in multiple languages and inspiring a wide range of other online reference projects.

Florida A&M Drum Major Robert Champion Dead From Hazing Incident
Everyone is familiar with all of the 'hazing' that goes on in high school and college. While some think it is just harmless fun, it is starting to become apparent that these incidents are not "All in good fun". Robert Champion, a Florida A&M Band Member, was found dead on the school bus following one of these incidents.

Flames damaged a home at 102 River Street Friday night and took the life of a pet dog. An electrical problem appeared to be the cause of the fire according to Lt. Marty Hinz of the Batavia Fire Department.
The woman who lived at the home came back to find the house on fire. She tried to rescue the dog, but couldn't get it out because of the thick smoke. The occupant and his three daughters who lived in the other side of the duplex were able to escape the fire uninjured.
Six persons were charged last night at the College Village apartments; 5 for underage drinking and one for criminal trespass.
The five allegedly are under 21 and possessed alcohol. They're identified as 19 year old Trevlyn Henry,19 year old Brendaliz DeJesus, 19 year old Ilkia Solana, 19 year old Drema Bautista, and 19 year old Kiera Smoot. All were listed as residents of College Village. A sixth person, 18 year old Kara Sass of Coward Road in Byron was charged with Criminal Trespass. She was found inside a residence hall after being previously banned from all College Village property. All six will be arraigned later in Batavia Town Court.
An Oakfield man was arrested twice on Friday. 24 year lld Jeffry Johnson of Forest Avenue in Oakfield was first charged with appearing in Public under the influence of a narcotic or drug other than alcohol. Genesee County Sheriff's Deputies say that drug was heroin. The incident occurred on Buffalo Road in Bergen. About 7 hours later Johnson was arrested for stealing a six pack of beer from the 7 Eleven store in Oakfield. He was charged additionally with petit larceny. He's in jail with bail set at 300 dollars.

Twenty years later, detectives on the Peninsula tracked down the rightful owner of a stolen charm bracelet, thanks to Pinterest.
Redwood City police say they found necklaces, rings and watches inside a car during a traffic stop on Feb. 6. Among the stolen valuables were some charm bracelets swiped during a residential burglary in San Jose 20 years ago.
The names and dates engraved on the bracelet's charms were "Ricky 12/9/61," "Flora 1/21/64" and "London 11/8/69," police said.
Police said the occupants of the car were unable to prove that they owned the jewelry or explain where it came from.
Officers were able to find the rightful owners after posting photos on Pinterest.
Detectives still have other stolen items to return. Photographs of the remaining items can be found online on the police department's recovered property Pinterest page.
The Redwood City Police Department is holding the items for "safe keeping" and is attempting to return the pieces to their rightful owners. People who recognize the jewelry should contact Redwood City police Detective David Stahler at (650) 780-7620.

Injury Led Her to ChiRunning Instructor, Steve Mackel
In March I signed up for an e-training on ChiRunning. I watched the videos and thought I was doing well, then I injured my foot. It wasn't a stress fracture, but it put me in a boot and I missed the Hollywood Half Marathon. Getting injured was a blessing as I realized I needed an instructor. Thanks so much for Steve Mackel. The best, kindest, most supportive coach, he's a true blessing. We just hit it off and I'm going to train with him for as long as it takes. I've found a friend for life, and isn't that what we're here on earth for? To make new friends. I'm not sure I'll finish my online training, but it led me to Steve.

November 1, 2011
The UN General Assembly's First Committee has endorsed an Iran-sponsored resolution on nuclear disarmament despite attempts by the US and the Israeli regime to kill the bid.
The committee, which focuses on disarmament and international security issues, approved the resolution with 107 votes on October 31, despite strong opposition and negative campaigning by the US, the Tel Aviv regime as well as some European governments, IRNA reported.
The resolution calls for the implementation of pledges made at the three most recent Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conferences. It also reiterates the urgency for a nuclear-free Middle East and demands that the Israeli regime must sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Israel, widely believed to be the sole possessor of a nuclear arsenal in the Middle East with over 200 undeclared nuclear warheads, pursues the policy of "deliberate ambiguity" for its nuclear program.

ANOTHER McNALL ASSOCIATE COPS A PLEA
Published September 21, 1994
Robert Houston, a former accountant for L.A. Kings President Bruce McNall, has agreed to plead guilty to three criminal counts for his role preparing false tax returns and financial statements so that McNall could get more than $150M in loans to "shore up his deteriorating business and financial situation." The plea is expected to be entered within two weeks. Houston was accused in court papers of being part of a group of McNall officials "who for the last eight years fraudulently obtained loans by inflating McNall's income, overstating his assets and understating or omitting previous loans." Houston is the second McNall executive to agree to plead guilty within the last month and about a dozen former McNall associates are known to be negotiating pleas (Bates & Dillman, L.A. TIMES, 9/21).

Mama Rosin Explodes the Myth That the Swiss Got No Grit
Mama Rosin is breathing new life into Cajun and zydeco, and this from a group an ocean and a continent away from the music's origins in southwest Louisiana.
Mama Rosin may be the best rock 'n' roll band you've never heard of. In part, that's because until June, the band had never released a record in North America. It's also because Mama Rosin often isn't even considered rock 'n' roll. One look at the covers of the band's albums explains the story.
The band's second album, Brule Lentement, released in 2009, features a silk-screened red chili against an all-white background, the band's black-scripted name printed just beneath it—a tribute to, and mirror image of, the Velvet Underground's first album with Andy Warhol's iconic banana cover.
A vinyl ten-inch released last year, titled the Sao Paulo Session is an homage to the '80s post-punk band the Gun Club's Miami record. Its cover echoes Miami's, with Mama Rosin's, rather than the Gun Club's, three band members standing in front of a palm tree and beneath a bleached green-blue sky. The back cover of the Sao Paulo Session replaces the Christian cross hanging mysteriously on the original with the percussion instrument the triangle. The title of Mama Rosin's latest record, Bye Bye Bayou, references a song of the same name by New York's punk-rock legend Alan Vega, of the band Suicide.
The Velvet Underground experimented with rock 'n' roll amplification, the Gun Club with punk interpretations of the blues, and Alan Vega with demented rockabilly. Like those bands, Mama Rosin, who are from Geneva, Switzerland, take an old form of music and bend it in ways that have rarely been done before. With the references to red chilis, triangles, and bayous, it may come as no surprise that Mama Rosin's styles of choice are Cajun and zydeco music, genres that for much of the last five decades have existed outside of Louisiana as little more than historical documents, continually facing the threat of eternal obscurity.
It's not easy to describe exactly what Mama Rosin sounds like. Anyone who tries often ends up seemingly at a loss for words, particularly those who aren't. A quick tour of past reviews turns up descriptions that read, "explosive fusion of trashy transatlantic zydeco and garage rockabilly 'n' roll" or "the consanguineous Creole derived Zydeco folk of the swamp, and drunken, loony voodoo blues… with a twist of wired country gospel."
"Everybody thinks differently about what we are," the band's 30-year-old accordion player and singer, Cyril Yeterian, said. "We've been put in all categories that exist." "We are in the miscellaneous vinyl back," said Robin Girod, 32, Mama Rosin's guitarist and singer. "From really authentic traditional Cajun to klezmer to jungle klezmer," Yeterian said. "There's been everything." "Black voodoo music we have seen in Germany," added Girod.
Mama Rosin's website describes the band as "Louisiana swamp grooves meet New York's CBGB white heat/white noise." What all of these frustrated attempts at categorization make clear is that no other band sounds quite like Mama Rosin.
"We consider ourselves a rock band, not a Cajun band," Yeterian said. "The goal of Mama Rosin has always been, let's borrow this traditional music from Louisiana—Cajun, zydeco, blues, et cetera—and let's mix it with this raw punk energy. Mama Rosin has always had this lineup of accordion and guitar. We tried it the garage way."
"But in the garage scene, the hardcore garage fan never considers us as a band really garage, because we are banjo, accordion," Girod said. "We don't have [simply] guitar, bass, and drums," Yeterian said.
In addition to the accordion, Yeterian plays fiddle, guitar, and triangle. Girod also plays the banjo. Drummer Xavier Bray also plays the harmonica. Each one of them plays the frottoir, a giant, metal washboard that straps over your shoulders.
Since 2008, Mama Rosin has released four records under its own name and taken part in several collaborations. Most recently, and only one year after its last record was produced by indie blues-punk superstar Jon Spencer, leader of the band the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Mama Rosin sent garage bands around the world into a spell of dizzying envy by recording an album with Mick Collins, who as leader of the Dirtbombs and the Gories is one of the crowning figures of contemporary garage rock. The collaboration, a zydeco project titled Broadway Lafayette, will be released next year.
"That's not an easy music if you're not raised with it," said Collins, who grew up in Detroit but spent summers in Louisiana. "It's not an easy music to duplicate. And not only were these guys not raised with it. They weren't even raised anywhere near the culture. To hear them in the studio and crank up and start playing, it was amazing. I said to myself, 'Wow, these guys are actually a zydeco band.' There's no barrier between them and zydeco."
Collins isn't the only musician to have taken notice of Mama Rosin. The band has been asked to collaborate or tour with some of the biggest acts in England (the contemporary folk band Bellowhead), Germany (the pop band Wir sind Helden), and Finland (the rock band 22-Pistepirkko). This past spring, the Cajun world came calling, too.
I first met Mama Rosin in April in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, a few days before the band played two shows at the Festival International de Louisiane , an annual Francophone celebration of southwest Lousiana's homegrown culture that takes place in Lafayette, the heart of Cajun country. In the festival's 15 years, Mama Rosin is only the second band that comes from outside the area and plays Cajun or zydeco music to be invited to take part. (The French Cajun band Vermenton Plage was the first, about ten years earlier.)
In addition to the festival appearances, Mama Rosin booked three more shows in the area to make for its first ever tour in the United States. It would take the band from Breaux Bridge to Austin, Texas, and then back to Louisiana, to Lafayette, for three more performances including the festival ones. The week would be a test to see how Mama Rosin's own take on the genre fared on the genre's home turf. It would be a test of the band's authenticity, of its credibility—no small matter for a band whose reputation hinges on that.
Mama Rosin looks as much like a rock 'n' roll band as they sound. Girod has a wild mane of brown curls and thick sideburns, and he wears fashionable skinny jeans with, alternately, black Converse sneakers and brown leather boots. He's also rock-star handsome, as every band wants its front man to be.
Yeterian also wears the skinny jeans, and when he sings, his dark wavy hair hangs in front of his face, blinding him. He has the frontman's musician look, too, though his run sensitive. As Steve Riley, the most well-known accordionist playing Cajun music today, said, "He's the prettiest accordion player I've ever seen."
Bray is as slim as the other two, but at 40 he's a decade older and has a hairline to prove it. For gigs he often dresses more old-fashioned than Girod and Yeterian, in slacks and a vest. He's rarely seen without a hand-rolled cigarette. He is the quietest of the three, with the least command of English, but his expression comes alive once he gets behind the drum set.
Breaux Bridge's Café des Amis was a fitting place for the band's tour to begin. On that particular night, out-of-use fiddles and melodeons, the squeeze-box accordions most often used in Cajun music, covered the room's exposed-brick walls alongside an art show of wide-ranging Christian crosses. But most appropriately, and much like the Cajun music fan base in general, Café des Amis's packed house consisted largely of sexagenarians. Among them was the venue's owner, Dickie Breaux, whom one local referred to as "the godfather" of Lafayette Parish.
It's no coincidence that the town we were in shared the godfather's surname, or that the first lady of Cajun music was the early-20th-century musician Cleoma Breaux. It's common for towns in southwest Louisiana to have the same name as the people you meet there, and for those names to have a historical significance related to Cajun music.
The next day, on my way to meet the band at the Eunice, Louisiana, home of Joel Savoy, the head of Cajun music's premier label, Valcour Records, and the son of one of the most famous accordion makers in the world, Marc Savoy, I had to drive for miles through long stretches of flatland dotted with rice and crawfish farms and through a town named Savoy.
When I spoke to him, Savoy referred to the region as "this culture that exists completely independent of America in America." I couldn't argue. With the prevalence of spoken Cajun French, the dynamic variety of crawfish-dinner preparations, and the heightened atmosphere of Saturday morning alcohol-infused dance parties, there remains a strong sense of a world removed from the rest of the United States.
Cajun music first broke through nationally at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, when Louisiana natives Gladius Thibodeaux, Vinus LeJeune, and Dewey Balfa played on the same stage as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. As Savoy, who won last year's Best Regional Roots Rock Record Grammy for his work on the Band Courtbouillon's self-titled album, said, "Until the sixties, Cajun music existed exclusively here, behind this Iron Curtain. Nobody had ever heard of it outside of Louisiana."
The music had a mini explosion in the decade or two that followed. The archival record label Arhoolie began to release recordings by Cajun artists that would become the music's definitive albums, filmmaker Les Blank directed a documentary about the genre, and Cajun music festivals began to sprout worldwide. Bands such as Beausoleil achieved crossover appeal, as did zydeco artists such as Zachary Richard and Buckwheat Zydeco, all of whom still perform today. Though there have been attempts to update the forms for a contemporary audience since then, the success has been limited. Whereas zydeco music has grown to incorporate R&B and hip-hop, often with bracingly painful results, Cajun music has remained stagnant. Now when a Cajun band tours the world, its audience is made up largely of that first generation of fans.
"Cajun music today consists of a traditional repertoire with a few handfuls of originals by various people that have kind of become standards," said Savoy, 33, who along with his parents and brother tours as the Savoy Family Band, the Cajun equivalent of country music's Carter Family. "For the most part it's the same songs all the time, done in very similar fashion. It's like old time music."
It wasn't always this way. Cajun music is traced back to the mid-18th century when the British, during a particularly volatile moment in its history, banished French-speaking Acadians from their home in Nova Scotia for refusing to take an oath to the king. Drawn to the French settlements of Louisiana, the Acadians—the word "Cajun" is derived from Acadian—migrated south, to an area alternately ruled by the French and the Spanish and that would soon be bought by the United States.
Around that time, the Haitian revolution led to an influx of a number of Haitians, who mixed in with the already sizeable black, or Creole, population. Cajun music developed out of the combination of all these different cultures living side by side.
"Cajun music has always been a bastard," Savoy said. "The way it very started was a product of African and country people picking up this weird instrument [the accordion] and trying to figure out something to do on it, mingling with people who had Acadian ancestry that played fiddles and God knows what else. Eventually from Texas things like the steel guitar came through. In order for the musicians to make a living in the dance halls, they had to play what was popular. If people all wanted to go out and hear Hank Williams songs, the Cajun musicians would play a Hank Williams song in French because the people spoke French. It's always been kind of a mutt."

There are differing stories about what Tantalus' crime was. One account says that he tried to share the divine ambrosia with other mortals, and thus aroused the ire of the gods. A more famous account says that he invited the gods to a banquet and served them the dismembered body of his own son, Pelops; when the gods discovered the trick, they punished Tantalus and restored Pelops to life, replacing with ivory a part of the shoulder which had been eaten by Demeter.
Tantalus' family was an ill-fated one. His daughter, Niobe, lost all her children and was turned to stone. His son, Pelops, was murdered, cooked, and restored to life. His grandsons, Atreus and Thyestes, struggled for power, and Atreus committed a variation of Tantalus' cannabilistic trick with Thyestes' children. His great-grandson, Agamemnon, was murdered by another great-grandson, Aegisthus, who was in turn killed by a great-great-grandson, Orestes.


text: Currently, there is a bit more overhead for ufuncs in scipy core then there was in Numeric. This overhead is not especially significant for large arrays. However, for small arrays, it can mean 2x-3x slowdown. The code attached shows a case where I observe a 2x slowdown. About half of the overhead is due to looking up an error mask, a callback function, and a buffer size in the local, global, and builtin scope. (If I just use defaults and don't try and look them up, the slow-down shown by the attached test goes to about 50% slower). So, the question is, Is this acceptable, or should a different approach to setting the error mask be taken? I can immediately see that even if we keep the current method, I need to fix things so that only one look-up is done (and a tuple returned) instead of three separate lookups.

Jewellers decided to continue the voluntary ban in support of the government's efforts to curb imports
Jewellers could continue a voluntary ban on sales of gold coins and bars for six months, in support of the government's efforts to curb imports, a trade body said in a statement on Wednesday.
The All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation, which has more than 40,000 members, added that over 65 percent of jewellers had agreed to the ban on sales of bars and coins, which account for about 35 percent of total business.
Also Read: Supply tightens; gold borrowing rates hit 2009 highs
"The jewellery community is one in supporting the country in times of crisis. We are happy to help with this voluntary action," Haresh Soni, chairman of the federation, said in the statement.
The trade body had appealed to jewellers to stop sales of coins and bars in late June.
India's current account deficit swelled to a record 4.8 percent of gross domestic product in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, and gold is the second-largest item in the iport bill.
The government has hiked import duty to 8 percent and the central bank has tightened availability of supplies in an effort to rein in imports, which hit a record 162 tonnes in May.

"Cult," the CW's hour-long show-within-a-show, retained the casting directors from its pilot. Elizabeth Barnes and Corbin Bronson, of Los Angeles-based Barnes/Bronson Casting, will handle the series casting. The show will use Corrine Clark and Jennifer Page for its casting in Vancouver, B.C., where the series is shooting.
The drama, which will debut during the 2012–13 season, follows a production assistant, played by Jessica Lucas, who joins up with a blogger (Matt Davis) to investigate whether rabid fans of the fictional show "CULT" are recreating the show's crimes in real life. Alona Tal and Robert Knepper of Fox's "Prison Break" also star.
Meanwhile, NBC's "Infamous," which is set for a mid-season premiere, will be cast by New York-based Bonnie Finnegan and Steven Jacobs of Finnegan Jacobs Casting. The series, which was formerly known as "Notorious," went through some recasting but is set to start shooting in New York in September. The plot revolves around a female detective (Meagan Good) who goes undercover as the daughter of a wealthy family's maid in order to solve a murder.
The pilot was cast by Julie Tucker and Ross Meyerson of Tucker/Meyerson Casting.

|Review by: Ben
|The course itself is in decent shape. The greens are fast and in good shape, the tee boxes are in nice condition, as well. The course has some fun and interesting holes with a good variety of par 5 and par 3 to mix it up. The course needs to be played from the blues to make it interesting, but that makes some of the par 3 very long (195) into the wind and over water. OVerall, for the money, not bad. HOWEVER!!! The staff there is by far the worst most unprofessional staff I have encountered. So bad, that I would not go back if they gave me a years free pass. We came close to a group in front of us on an errant shot that found its way down the cart path, we yelled fore, it didn't come that close, and the group threw a small temper tantrum. At the nine turnover, the starter actually stopped us and scolded us, mind you, we are thirty yearls old, one of us an attorney, on a doctor...not immature high schoolers. When we told the starter there is two sides to every story, he told us off....needless to say we were pissed. 7 holes later, the course is set up so a lot of tee boxes are near greens, which makes it a bit dangerous for those errant shots. Once again, a nice slice went towards that group, fore was yelled, and they threw a fit. Now, it is one thing if you hit INTO another group because you are inpatient or rude, but these were two erant shots that only came close because of the layout of the course. Well, we get back after 18, and the two bag boys actually started to tell us off, once again we reminded them that they were not out there, and they told us to "F%%%" ourselves and get out of there. So...to make a long story long, I could not believe they would treat golfers that way, and I would tell EVERYONE, if you wanted to be treated like SH&T, go there.

On Monday, nearly three months after welcoming her third child, Isaiah Timothy, Elisabeth Hasselbeck returned to ABC's The View. She couldn't help but gush about her new son!
"He'll never be able to spell his own name, but that's fine," she joked. "He's almost three months or so. He's good."
Elisabeth, 32, also showed off a photo she took shortly after Isaiah's birth on August 8th.
She then recalled a mishap she had while taking another picture on her iPhone.
"I had just been feeding him, so I took this photo … he had the cutest smile," she said
It wasn't until she got home and looked at the photo again that she realized: "No wonder he's smiling — my nipple is in the photo!"
What's worse, she said she had already sent it to her husband Tim's family!
"Awkwardly, my father-in-law and my brother-in-law saw it," she said.
Elisabeth warned viewers taking photos after nursing "is not something you should do. It's worse than drunk dialing!"
Elisabeth and Tim's latest addition joins big sister Grace Elisabeth, 4, and big brother Taylor Thomas, 21-months-old.

Complete coverage: The life and death of Chargers star Junior Seau, and what he meant to San Diego.
U-T staff members converged on Oceanside Wednesday after learning of Junior Seau's death. What they discovered was a city — his city — overcome. Here are a few excerpts from their reporting.
At the City Council meeting
Seau was mentioned several times throughout the Oceanside City Council meeting that night. People prayed for Seau's family and those who will comfort them during the invocation, and a speaker used the public comment period to mourn his loss.
Councilwoman Esther Sanchez added: "Junior Seau meant so, so much and will continue to mean so, so much to our youth here in Oceanside. His family is really feeling the pain. They've asked to have their privacy respected. At this point I want to just let them know how much we so admire Junior. ... He meant so much not only to the Samoan community here, but the entire community here in Oceanside."
The council meeting was adjourned in his honor.
At Oceanside High
Oceanside High School Athletic Director Dave Barrett was the Pirates defensive coordinator when Seau donned the Pirates green. Ronald Troxel was Seau's physical education teacher during his freshman and senior year in 1987. P.E. class?
"This was before he was Junior Seau," Troxel said.
Seau starred as a three-sport athlete from 1983 to 1987, lettering in football, basketball and track & field.
Seau's exploits on the football field are well documented. Barrett said they came from a combination of natural athleticism and an unmatched work ethic.
"I remember his 10th-grade year at the start of football season. Players would show up for two-a-days at about 9 a.m., and coaches would show up at 7," Barrett said. "We get there, and here was Junior, doing conditioning drills on his own, an hour before the next person would show up."
Both men remembered Seau as an intense young man with an infectious smile and energy.
They said he was a larger-than-life influence on Oceanside High, and not just to its football program.
"Oceanside High has extraordinary alumni that do great things in many fields," Barrett said. "But because our society values athletes, Junior has become the unofficial face of this school. He was a source of pride to all of us."
Seau remained close to his alma mater. During the offseason, he would return to work out with the Pirates following in his footsteps, Troxel said. He also gave financially. Last year, his namesake foundation gave the school a $25,000 grant to buy an obstacle course for PE classes at Oceanside High.
At the beach
Ashley Priest, 28, of Oceanside spent part of Wednesday afternoon arranging rocks into the shape of a cross on the beach in front of Seau's home. She and others were working to maintain the symbol in the sand as ocean waves threatened to wash it away.
"I want people to know that if they're sad, they can just go to the cross and pray," she said.
Priest said Seau and his girlfriend would frequent the cafe where she worked as a waitress. She remembered the football icon as a compassionate person, and a big tipper.
"He's a great man and he's got a heart of pure gold," she said, as she organized the rocks displaced by the waves. "I don't want people focusing on the incident itself."

replacing kt66 valves
Hi ,can anyone recomend replacement valvesmay be sels for my quad11 amps.There are a batch of new valves,genalex,harma,saratovs,valve art,tad,sovtec,
shuguang,jj.I read about the russian 6n3c but found it to actually be a 6l6.So far it looks like the jj kt66 may be selected.Anyone had experience
with any of the named valves.
The Shuguangs are the closest to the originals. China already produced KT66s for GEC in the '70s, sold under the GEC/Genalex/MOV brands.
Sovteks and Tung-Sol reissues have very similar internal structures to their 6L6 tubes...
Harma and Groove Tubes are in fact russian Saratovs, as are TAD, I think.
In my Croft-modified Quad IIs, I run Russian 5881s or 6L6GCs. I know that everyone says they are no good, but they sound fine, the heaters require only 0.9A as opposed to 1.3 for KT66 - always worthwhile giving the poor old Quad's mains transformers a break, as they get hot enough as it is.
And they are very cheap.
And when I first installed the valves, I checked the various voltages and they were exactly on spec.
Your Russian 5881's are looking like these?
These are 6P3E-S's, made by Reflektor and often sold as 5881's, but they don't match the 5881's maximum ratings.
Best rfegards!
The amps are not with me at present but yes they do look like that as far as I recall.
I bought the 5881s and the 6L6GCs from the same supplier in the U.S.; I know that they are different - the internal structure is different. I really cannot say that there is an audible difference - there may be but as usual I cannot hear it!...
And I do like the blue glow.
As for the ratings, well that has not proved to be a problem in the Quad IIs - no red anodes at least.
All the best
Hi, I have the best results with USA made 5881 RCA or TUNGSOL. Better than 6L6GC.
In my Quad II clone I run a pair of RY50 (250V at g2 stabilized by VR105+VR150). I use an original Quad output transformer and get approx 18 Watts. No KT66's needed!
The most economic and fast solution is EL34's (connect pin 1 to pin 8 and trim the cathode resistor for correct bias). Acceptable sound.
RY50's can replace except KT66 the KT88 too! Only g2 needs some attention and filaments need 12V.
Incidentally, the tube marketed by Sovtek as a 5881 / 6L6WGC (to my knowledge) is in fact a rebranded 6P3S-e which is used by a few manufacturers as their stock "6L6GC" they ship with amps.
The Soviet's sure knew how to build a hefty tube when the task called for it, I'll give them that.
But that said - no these are not 5881's, they just happen to be happy in a 5881's place.

Stars wedding season
Many of the celebrities are witnessing a number of weddings in the up coming days. Most of the well known movie stars and singer are entering what is called the golden cage after they have made sure that their work related projects went well.
Young Egyptian actor Sharif Hasan Ramzi the son of the known producer Hasan Ramzi will be marrying Muna Hussein Fahmi the daughter of Egyptian legend actor Hussein Fahmi and well know Egyptian actress Mirvat Ameen. The wedding will take place during the Muslim holiday Eid Al Fitr that follows the holy month of Ramadan.
According to the Qatari daily AL Raya, Sharif has postponed the wedding many times because he was working on his film and also the bride's mother was working on her film with Adel Iman "Murjan Ahmad Murjan".
On the same note, young Egyptian actress/singer Amy gave everyone a shock when the news of her and Lebanese star Ghasan Al Moli got engaged and announced they will be getting married. Both had met in a year ago, when Ghasan was on the judging committee of the Miss Egypt Beauty Pageant. The couple held a private engagement party in the presence of family members and very close friends.
Sparks between them started flying and they exchanged phone numbers and started to have a relationship. After knowing each other for four months they decided to get married.
Egyptian actor Muhammad Najati has been engaged to Marwah the daughter of the well known Egyptian businessman Muhammad Abu Zaid. The couple had been engaged for more than one year and will also be getting married this year at Eid Ramadan. The wedding was postponed because Najati's younger sister passed away a short while ago and Marwah has been standing by his side during this hard time which brought the couple closer together.
Last but not least Egyptian singer Sharif Makawi will be entering the golden cage very soon after he took care of his younger sister who got married recently. Sharif's wife to be is not an actress, however they both understand one another and will get married very soon. Sharif is preparing for a new film "Bahlam Beek" (Im Dreaming about You).

JUSTICE Secretary Chris Grayling is ready to AXE legal aid for prisoners who launch trivial compo claims and court battles, The Sun can reveal.
The crackdown comes after lags spent £93million of taxpayers' cash on fighting their cases over the past four years.
They include a rapist who received legal aid to demand an end to "slopping out".
Mr Grayling has ordered officials to draw up plans to make sure it is only granted in the most serious cases — not when cons want softer mattresses or more access to the phone.
And he wants minor complaints to be dealt with by the jail or the official prison ombudsman — rather than being dragged through the courts at huge extra cost.
A source said: "For years legal aid has been frittered away on trivial claims that could be easily dealt with in another way.
"It's no wonder this has outraged taxpayers.
"That's why there must be proper focus on making sure that the scheme is being used for the right sorts of things."
Mr Grayling's decision comes after rapist Desmond Grant demanded an end to slopping out before his claim was rejected. Lord Justice Davis threw out the case — which was brought by Grant and paedo lag Roger Gleaves — and said human rights laws meant courts had to deal with "unthinkable" cases.
There was also outrage in 2011 when it emerged Moors murderer Ian Brady was given more than £8,000 of taxpayers' cash for his fight to win the right to starve himself to death.

text: Okay, I want a Toto, , I'm pretty sure. We are re-doing the bathroom and I like the way the Aquia looks but I also like the Cyclonic flush of a Vespin. (need a good flush for large droppings) Here is our problem(s) Our bathroom is a Very small Farmhouse bathroom. The place was built in the early 1900's and I think this was a closet to begin with. The water supply comes up from the floor and is about 3.5 inches away from the wall and perhaps 6 maybe 7 inches from middle. It is a 12 inch connection. We need a taller pot as We are pushing 65-70 and pretty sore jointed. We are on a well with low household water pressure. Anything larger than 27 inches out from the wall will have our knees in the sink and butts in the shower. Will the Vespin or Aquia fit with those parameters? I am counting on one or the other. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Fiber flinger

I am taking a trip to Thailand in December with my husband and two teen kids. We only have 48 hours in Bangkok, so location matters. I will be using points, so I need help choosing either:
1) Renaissance Bangkok - 518/8 Ploenchit Rd 10330, or
2) Four Points Sheraton - Sukhumvit 15
When I look on a map, they seem relatively close together. Are they actually? Or does it just seem that way to someone who has never visited Bangkok before. Is there a big difference in neighbourhoods? I bought the Nancy Chandler map, and I see Soi Cowboy very close to the Four Points. Am I close to (in) the red light district there?
Any suggestions on good restaurants (thai) nearby would be appreciated.
Thanks for your comments!

I am taking a trip to Thailand in December with my husband and two teen kids. We only have 48 hours in Bangkok, so location matters. I will be using points, so I need help choosing either:

I would choose the Renaissance. I have not (yet) stayed there, but it is our pick for our next trip to Bangkok. It's a very good location.
Soi Cowboy is a red-light district, though I can't remember exactly where the Four Points is.
The Renaissance will also be a much nicer hotel.
Report Abuse
We stayed at the Renaissance last November. We have been to Bangkok half a dozen times but were very pleased with both the location of and service at the Renaissance. Don't know much about the Four Points...
Report Abuse
Craig: I understand the Grand Millenium is close to the Ren. Did U see it or go past it? My friend is going to BKK in Nov. and wants to stay at the Ren. so you would recommend it, correct?
Report Abuse
I have not stayed at Renaissance in Bangkok, but have stayed in numerous Renaissance Hotels in the USA and Europe. They are usually very nice. I have stayed at Four Points, and found it to be comfortable. I booked a junior suite. There are some complaints about noise from the lobby bar, but I did not notice that.
The location of the Millenium is very close to soi Cowboy, if it is the one I'm thinking of. Four Points is probably a 10 to 15 minute walk to soi Cowboy. Renaissance is in the area with the big malls and shopping.
Report Abuse
I too have stayed at the Rennaissance and it's location ( for downtown Bangkok) is fabulous.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the comments everyone, and Simpsonc510 for your assurance that there was nothing too bad about the Four Points.
I know the Renaissance gets generally great reviews, and probably has a better location. How far on the ground is it between the two hotels? Walkable/short taxi distance?
Normally it would be a no brainer (maybe it still is ). However, it is 80,000 Marriott points for 2 rooms x 2 nights, or 14,000 Starwood points for the same. It seems like a very good points rate at the Four Points....and I have a much easier time using Marriott points. I will have to ruminate...
Thank you.

You could walk between the two, but probably not comfortably in the Bangkok heat! I've walked from Sukhumvit soi 8 all the way up to Siam Discovery mall. It took a long time, and it was in the early (cooler) morning, and this was years ago. I would not do it now! I would probably want to taxi between the two hotels....
The section of Sukhumvit where the Four Points is located has a lot more street vendors and street food and small souvenir shops, etc. The Renaissance neighborhood is more "big" business oriented, if that makes sense.
The walk to the skytrain is probably slightly shorter at Renaissance. Four Points is fairly close to Terminal 21 and the Asok BTS station.
And thank you, poutine, for the link to the brand new Marriott on soi 57, in my own thread about returning to BKK!
Report Abuse
Thank you for the info simpsonc510. I feel better about the Sheraton now.
Enjoy Bangkok, and hope you are happy with the Marriott 57. I know the exec lounge is now open there, but I don't know how it works for those in the apartment section.
Bon voyage!

If you are concerned about points, can you get a good deal on the Sheraton Royal Orchid? It's on the river and often has good specials for those using points.
Report Abuse
I live about 200 meters form the Four Points. I've never stayed there but it seeems nice enough. It's true that this part of town is more low rise and has more street vendors. It's also a little more...hmm...active at night.
The Ren is in more of a business part of town. But shopping is more accessable. Central World is walking distance and Paragon and MBK are a short taxi ride. It's also more low key at night. Transportation access is more or less equal.
If I had a friend coming to Bangkok I would probably go with the Ren.
A few notes. You could conceivably walk between the two but don't; it's too far. The skytrain is about a 5 minute ride and not expensive. That plus Bangkok is full of taxis 24/7 and they are extremely cheap. Cowboy is about a 10 min walk from the Four Points so red lights are close but avoidable. There's also a much bigger (less avoidable and and wilder) red light area the other way about mid point between the Ren and the Four Points. All of this picks up after dark and is not really too noticable during the day. For it's size Bangkok is pretty safe so don't worry about this. Just use normal care and discretion.
As I said, I live here so if you have specific questions drop a line and I'll try give you some answers.
Report Abuse
there is no comparison in the hotels... Ren is a 5* hotel and Sheraton is 3* by normal hotel comparisons...
I would not walk between them..
soi 4 sukhumvit is an adult entertainment area and is not far from soi 11, but on the other side of busy sukhumvit rd... the jw Marriott is almost next door...
you would be happy at either hotel quite honestly...
the Marriott courtyard is near the renaissance and would be of similar quality to the Sheraton...
consider the Marriott mayfair, not far from ren....its a serviced apartment and very very nice on a very nice street... you could get a 2 bedroom apartment there with points... that would be my choice....
I am staying 8 days at the Ren in early dec this year on pts...
Report Abuse
For me I would choose Renaissance Bangkok , the hotel is clean and nice located near BTS and shopping mall > Central World and easy to reach to nightlife area like Nana, Asoke.
Report Abuse
I agree with RiniRabbit, Renaissance Bangkok is located in the center of Bangkok and more convenience to travel and sightsee around.

15 French Slang Words Every French Learner Should Know 🌻
Bordel literally means brothel. However, these days bordel is more commonly used to describe a large mess. An example would be: Range ta chambre. C'est le bordel. Clean your room. It's a mess.
2. Balle
Balle as a singular, literally means bullet. Yet back in the day, balles was used as a slang word for francs, the French currency pre-2002. And when France moved on to the euro, balles moved with it and it is still sometimes used in reference to money. An example would be: J'aime ton pantalon. Merci. Je l'ai acheté au marché pour quinze balles. I like your pants. Thanks. I bought them at the market for 15 euros.
3. Baraque
The word baraque literally means shanty, or small house made of planks. However, recently the term has been adapted to refer to a house, or, as an adjective, baraqué, someone who is really muscular. For example: On habite dans une grosse baraque avec 10 colocs. We live in a large house with 10 other people. En règle générale, les joueurs de rugby sont plus baraqués que les joueurs de foot. Generally speaking, rugby players are more muscular than football players.
These days BG is a popular acronym. It stands for beau gosse, which means hot guy. Gosse on it's own though is slang for a child though so watch out! If you're in Quebec, gosse is feminine and carries an entirely different connotation as a slang word for a part of the male anatomy that is generally used in the plural… So if you're planning to use your slang in Canada, be aware of that difference, since there could be a few misunderstandings!
Another popular acronym, which is the French slang for preppy, is BCBG (bien chic bon genre).
6. Blé
Blé literally translates as wheat in English. However, figuratively it has become a popular way of referring to money. (Another common way of referring to money in slang terms is fric or pognon). Here is an example: Il gagne beaucoup de blé. He earns a lot of money.
7. Bobo
Bobo is actually baby talk for une blessure (an injury). However, you will find that young people commonly use this term when referring to minor injuries such as cuts and bruises. An example might be: Qu'est-ce qu'il y a? J'ai un bobo sur le pied. What's the matter? I have a scratch on my foot.
8. Bouffer
Bouffer literally means to puff up or balloon in size. However, it has become common practice to replace the word manger (to eat) with bouffer in everyday speech. And in turn, la bouffe is then used as another word for food. Here is an example: J'ai trop mangé. J'ai bouffé un steak tartare avec des frites suivi d'une grosse tarte aux pommes. I ate too much. I ate a steak tartare with fries followed by a big slice of apple tart. Je suis allé en ville pour acheter de la bouffe. I went into town to buy some food.
9. Une clope
A commonly used slang word, especially in Paris, is the argot for cigarette; une clope. For example: T'aurais pas une clope? You don't happen to have a cig, do you?
10. Kiffer
Another term used by today's generation, which you may not already know is the word kiffer, which is slang for to like something (it works best with a hobby!). However, pay attention, if you kiffe quelqu'un, it implies that you desire that person. Here's an example: Je kiffe faire de la voile. I really enjoy sailing. Je kiffe ton frère. I like your brother. (I'm romantically interested in him).
11. Mec
The word mec is yet another commonly used slang term, and refers to boyfriends as well as guys in general. For example: Il est beau, ce mec.That guy is good-looking. Tu viens avec ton mec? Are you bringing your boyfriend?
Another type of slang that you might come across is verlan, which are French words spelled backwards, and often incorrectly, in slang. And while this concept might seem a bit intimidating at first, you will find that you pick it up in no time at all and probably without even realizing.
12. Meuf
Our first example is meuf, which was originally femme. And, as with the word femme, this term can be used to refer to a female, or your girlfriend, although it can have pejorative connotations.
13. Relou
Our second example is relou, the verlan for lourd (heavy or taxing) and equivalent of chiant, which means annoying/exasperating. Here's an example: C'est trop relou! That sucks!
14. Ouf
Ouf is literally the French translation of the interjection phew as well as meaning crazy/awesome in verlan, being the backwards of fou (crazy/awesome). On a fait un truc (de) ouf hier. *Here 'ouf' can work as either an adjective, without the 'de', or as a noun, with the 'd'. It's up to you! We did something crazy awesome yesterday.
15. être vénère
And finally, our last slang word for today is another way of expressing that you are annoyed or angry; être vénère, which is the verlan of être énervé. An example would be quite simple: Mathieu est vénère. Matthew is annoyed. (It is important here to pay attention to your accents because vénéré means to be revered).

Anyone seen it? It is not about religion; it is about banking and the world economy.
I just watched it and it is great.
They trash the neoclassical school and explain the classical school accurately. It features several intellectuals that you will recognize (Stiglitz, Chomsky, Keiser, and many more from all over the field). They talk up the gold standard while chastizing credit expasion. They promote a debt relief like in Germany in 1947 as a method to end the debt problems.
One criticism (there are a few) is that they don't talk about how savings based credit slows growth from unlimited credit expansion. But they talk a lot about constant growth.
EDIT: They also think that FDR "beat" the bankers on wall street. I wish I had more copies of Rothbard's History of Money and Banking to hand out. And they confuse the Glass-Steagall act when explaining it or, rather, they place a lot of emphasis on it.
Aristophanes: I wish I had more copies of Rothbard's History of Money and Banking to hand out.
Here, email a copy to the entire world :P
Says on IMDB that it stars Noam Chomsky.
Is it libertarian socialist?
Oh wait, I just read the original post.

I bought some Conti inner tubes from their ebay store. I was not buying the Rosetta Stone, the Ark of the Covenant or the Third Secret of Fatima, merely inner tubes.
They are just Conti inner tubes, they do not bring sunshine to where once was nothing but grey skies, they do not give me the gift of second sight, they have not helped me attain Nirvana. They fit inside my tyres so I can ride my bike.
Tredz are a shop. I ordered the inner tubes from them, I paid for them and they packaged them up in one of their lovely jiffy bags and posted them to me. Pretty much what a mail order transaction should be. They didn't send me a packet of Haribo like Wiggle do but hey, the price was good enough for me to go and buy some of my own with the saving.

Who doesn't like cheap and good stuff? Getting something of high value for a low price is like striking lottery. Haven't you heard of a penny save is a penny earn?
Is cheap really good? It depends.
Last week alone, I got some cheap deals and a not so cheap deal.
I was celebrating my wife's birthday in our neighbouring country. This happened to be the most value for money celebration we ever had. The best thing of course, my "boss" was very happy.
First of all, our hotel or motel is cheap. With S$61, it is unique in its own way. This boutique hotel takes on the couple theme which suits us. On top of that, the cleanliness of the room definitely looks more than S$61. Security is everywhere in this small premise. Elevator, wine room and getting into the hotel at night requires keycard to access. In this instance, cheap is good.
Second, we were exploring various activities around the area. We found a massage spa. A SPA not a massage parlour. S$40/person for 2 hours of foot and thai massage. In this instance, cheap is good.
Third, proceed to usual dinner place with crabs and prawns which my wife had craving for. Only S$40 for two, In this instance, again cheap and good!
Fourth, we went to sing in a karaoke room. The price that we paid is ridiculously cheap. Room is clean, sound system is good, song system is new with updated songs. For 3 hours, we paid S$4/person. In this instance, once again cheap is good.
It was a weekend of cheap is good until…
My $18 digital watch drowned when I brought it for swimming yesterday. This watch lasted for a week. Though it's only $18, it is very expensive.
So cheap can be subjective. While paying for the $18 watch is cheap at the point of purchase. One week later, it becomes very expensive.
Purchasing something that you think is cheap may turns out to be pricey. This brings us to price vs value. Some people can't differentiate price and value. They are not the same. That $18 watch is price at $18. But the value is lower than $18. It means the price of watch is over value or in layman term, expensive.
The opposite example will be the recent Procrastination Buster Workshop that I conducted. The price of the workshop is $25 but the value that participants took away is about $200 – $250. The workshop is undervalue or in another word, cheap.
With the ability to differentiate price and value, you can save more money or avoid over spending. Recall what are some of the items you have been over or under spend?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Nashville Film Festival, Nashville, TN, USA
I have a had a great time every year I have worked for the Nashville Film Festival. It started with volunteering a few years ago, and then I was an intern in 2008. And I have always come back and helped anytime they needed me, especially a couple of months before the festival itself. Everyone there is nice and they love what they do. The Nashville Film Festival has been great and it keeps getting better. I can't wait until April when it happens all over again!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
being a volunteer for four years and an intern. I enjoyed all of it.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the opportunity you get to be a part of a long-running film festival. You get to see first-hand how it all happens and all the hard work to make it what it is.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
were professioanl and fun to work with.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
be better than any film festival around!
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Master the Art of Deposition Cross-Examination
Deposition cross-examination is the most important teachable skill in civil litigation. This single skill has the greatest impact on the quality of your depositions and the outcome of your case, at settlement and trial. Spend a day with Robert Musante, the nation's foremost teacher of deposition rules and tactics. Learn how to recognize and attack question-dodging and truth-dodging by even the most brilliant and wily of adverse witnesses, Bill Clinton.
This highly-entertaining presentation utilizes video clips from sessions where Bill Clinton was cross-examined: on "60 Minutes," in the Paula Jones case, and before Kenneth Starr's grand jury. Clinton's politics are irrelevant to the teaching points, and thus are completely ignored. He was selected because he was extremely well-prepared, well-represented, and motivated to dodge and deceive. You'll not likely depose a more challenging fact witness.

My collection, hand painted and one of a kind.
This website shows my collection of Dutch pottery.
I have made this website to assist others, who have similar pottery, with the identification of their items and I also like to share it with others collectors or interested visitors. I like to share it because I believe that the pieces are just about unique in their existence.
Most of my collection is called Gouda. This type of pottery was made in Holland and the centre of its production was in the town of Gouda in the Netherlands. But like Delft pottery, not all Delft pieces were made in the town of Delft itself. Similarly Gouda was made in other towns then just Gouda, the name refers to the kind of pottery made at the time.
Gouda pottery started off as a high glazed product, but then changed to a matte glazed look. Many potteries at the time used the same production techniques; hence their pottery had many similarities.
In Holland they often refer to it as earthenware (the Dutch word is "aardewerk") it literally means made from the earth, i.e from clay. And true to its name the colours used to paint this type of pottery also have a very earthy feel. You would normally not find very bright colors on this type of pottery. But having said that, the pieces I talk about are very colorful (just no overly bright colours), often a mixture of colours woven together into abstract patterns, or sometimes depicting real-time objects woven into fictitious patterns. Floral type designs are very common.
The pieces were painted/decorated by hand, so really, no 2 pieces are the same.
For a bit more about the manufactoring process, click here .
The website shows a variety of decors and models, (mainly of the PZH in Gouda) also in the gallery is a closeup of the pottery marks (Stamps) underneath.
Other factories that existed at the time include Rozenburg, De Distel, Goedewagen, Mijnlieff, and of course the Delft factories.
For those interested in "Delfts blue" pieces or other Dutch potteries , there is a small section of it here .
I like to think of this website as my online Museum.
Quite unique, Gouda in Australia.

Animals / Reptiles / Snake Types / Cape Cobra - Yellow and Deadly from Southern Africa
Cape Cobra - Yellow and Deadly from Southern Africa
The cape cobra is found in the dry, semi-desert regions of southern Africa, particularly in the Northern Cape in South Africa and in parts of Botswana. In the Kalahari region, it is a yellowish color, with uniform brown speckles. It is a medium-sized snake, with adults measuring between 120cm (46.8 in) and 180cm (70.2 in).
Climbs Trees
The cape cobra is diurnal and its diet consists of reptiles (including other snakes), rodents and birds. It is very good at climbing trees with low overhanging branches, and it is known to raid the nests of weaver birds. The snake makes use of a neurotoxin that targets the respiratory system. If the cape cobra bites an adult human, there is a 60 percent chance of death if no antivenom is available. Bite victims die from respiratory failure, due to the onset of paralysis from the venom. Large amounts of antivenom is needed to treat a bite. Because this cobra has the most powerful venom out of all African cobras, it has the highest rate of fatalities.
The cape cobra is not normally an aggressive, confrontational snake, but will fight if it is threatened and has no clear escape route. The snakes are also quite nervous, so the best thing to do, is to remain calm and make no sudden moves if you encounter one.
Beware the Hood
The cape cobra is not a spitting snake, and when it feels threatened, it will hold its front section erect and spread its hood, making its head and neck appear bigger. Their main predators are raptors and the mongoose, or regional variant, the meerkat. These two animals are sworn enemies and have spectacularly fast, fatal battles. Typically, a group of around three meerkats will take on a cape cobra if the snake ventures into their burrows or territory. The honey badger, or ratel is another predator that the snake has to deal with.
Females lay between eight and twenty eggs in a burrow. They are active all year around and do not hibernate. The regions they live in can be cold at night, but even in winter, the majority of the days are warm.

Wally is SUCH a good boy, but he's not very bright. When we adopted him, he was afraid of everything and everyone. He's since become a well-adjusted dog…well he was so excited to see who rang the doorbell that he forgot the hallway door was shut. The only thing damaged was the door …. and Wally's pride.

It is no doubt that Filipinos love food; whether it is local, international, or even fusion dishes, we are always on a hunt for new flavors.
Located right outside Volet's Resort in Dasmarinas City, Cavite, a Japanese inspired restaurant emerged...and that's what I came to visit and investigate further.
A Western and Japanese inspired restaurant, AJI House of Yakitori, serves varieties of chicken and pork barbecues and traditional and western inspired Japanese cuisine. For the information of everyone, Yakitori is a Japanese term for skewered grilled chicken or any skewered food in general.
Since we just came from a long hike that day, we were really hungry, so we ordered several plates that looked appealing on their menu. Here are some of their dishes that you could try when visiting AJI House of Yakitori.

After trying out all their dishes, I would not be surprised that people will enjoy the flavors at AJI's House of Yakitori as much as we did. The servings at Aji is very generous and some of them are even good enough for sharing - talking about making your money's worth!
The place is at the center of Dasmarinas City and surrounded by big universities and establishments making it an ideal place for everyone who wants to have a great meal.
Drinks are served in a mason jars which was so cool and very generous since these jars are huge.
All of these is not possible without these two creative men who thought of this concept, JC Jardiniano who is the General Manager and Mark Lester Magsino, the managing director of Aji House of Yakitori Restaurant.
If you are in the vicinity of Dasmarinas city in Cavite or at Volet's Resort for a swim with your family or friends, consider dining at Aji restaurat.
