text: http://ssandroid.freehostingcloud.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=800&sid=174e8023d04ca5559e8fa0f604180d0d Ripped from linked page: New Stuff Again, most of the effort went into Tools. The highlights: 1. STILL no compcache. I understand a few of you are interested in it - but my opinion is that it is overhyped. Seems the only potential benefit is for redraws, which should be much better now, esp. with ADW. It is taking too much of my time for the perceived benefit, and right now I'm at a brick wall. 2. NEW kernels. No changes that I have made; but just a new pull from AOSP with my normal OC changes. I do not have a comprehensive list to publish of what has changed. I'm just trying to keep up-to-date 3. Bluetooth controls all should work now - let me know if you find otherwise! On vacation I ran 4.8 and my Moto ROKR's worked perfectly. Also you now have the ability to also hide the bluetooth icon, even if active. Find this in statusbar options. 4. You can now toggle the extended media controls on/off with the screen off. Do this by longpressing the camera button for at least half a second (same action as opening camera app when phone is not locked). 5. You can now choose pretty much ANY custom color now, rather than be limited to only what I provide in the menu. In addition, you even have access to an ADVANCED color picker (code credited to Keith Wiley). 6. I am not sure this will help with the Wifi dropping issues; but there is a new option in my Tools you might want to check out 7. The delete scripts have been upgraded; not only are new apps there (ie. Gmail), but they do a complete cleanup now. So when the next Goggles update comes, and you get the dreaded 'failed to update' - go into Tools, Scripts, delete Goggles. Reboot. The market install should now work. 8. Camera issues, as well as Exchange email issues, should be resolved. Let me know if you find otherwise! 9. All system apps (ie Google) should be up-to-date from the market. 10. Screen lag on any of the launchers should be improved! That being said - I really do recommend another launcher. I'm partial to ADW - ADW.Launcher v1.1.5 standalone Application for Android | Productivity, VERY small memory footprint. It is also now an option in RM, which also installs an 'mvadw' script. If you DO use another launcher, use my tools to DELETE the stock Launcher2 (it will back up to SD). Otherwise, it will still take resources even though you don't run it. 11. You can now control your tunes (Media Player, Pandora tested) while the screen is off! Longpress volume up/down to skip tracks. Camera shutter (hardpress) to pause/play. Camera shutter (longpress) to toggle the extended media controls on/off. 12. Google fix for Pandora (all streaming AAC) included - this is NOT the hack that disabled stagefright; this has FIXED stagefright 13. Ability to change the carrier text to whatever you want! Should not affect any other apps. 14. Now when you 'delete' system apps, they are backed up to SD. So just in case you want it back .. you can get it back Oddly enough, when this script finishes it attempts to make the system partition readonly again. For some of you this causes a hang, and in the UI it ends up with an FC. I do not yet understand why only a few have this issue ... all necessary actions SHOULD have taken place however. 15. rstapps has had a few fixes - you should see no FC's while restoring, or much less than the past. Also, there is a fix to prevent future market update errors (ie. insufficient storage). 16. Extra low dimness now available. Check out Settings -> Display (tweaked to not go QUITE as low as 4.7 did; further customization to follow here) 17. OTA patch capability - I can now push out updates to all phones running my ROM. Everything EXCEPT a full ROM update. That is better left to you or Rom Manager. But any other updates, including patching APK's, I can now do automagically ALSO NEW - normally everytime you enter Tools, it checks for updates. You can now turn this off. It will STILL check for updates once after each reboot, but not again until a reboot, or you turn the option back on. CAVEAT: If you are running SPR the process cannot be fully automated. You will get to recovery but it will say update failed. You will need to mount the SD card, the newest zip needs to be renamed to update.zip. Unmount, go back and 'allow update' and then install update.zip. Reboot. 18. Chrome To Phone now included 19. Bypass lockscreen option added in Tools 20. MORE things to hide in the statusbar - alarm clock, cell signal, 3g signal, battery, adb, usb, bluetooth. I have heard you all ask for being able to customize images themselves. I will get there 21. All options (ie scripts) selected in Tools are remembered, at least until a reboot. 22. I'm told I don't promote this enough - you can change pretty much ALL colors in the statusbar, ON THE FLY. No reboot, no xml hacking. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been solely on SS since 4.4, so I'll be installing this shortly. Post any issues you all have here (as if you need me to tell you that ). Enjoy.

- Rich Text (RTF) version, sometimes used for online job boards (such as Monster and Yahoo HotJobs) or for sending as an attachment that is reasonably compatible across platforms and word-processing programs. A Rich Text Format (RTF) resume can be created in most word-processing programs by saving the resume as Rich Text with a file extension of .rtf. Generally speaking, the formatting and attractive visual presentation created in the original document will hold up in the Rich Text resume, although more complex formatting (such as columns or tables) may not hold up. It's best to test the Rich Text resume by sending it to the computers of a few friends to see how the formatting looks on the other end. Rich Text can be an excellent choice as an e-resume attachment because it is compatible across all platforms and word-processing programs. It's also far less vulnerable to viruses than are Word documents. In terms of attachments, it's the best choice when you can't determine what file type the employer prefers, but it should be accompanied by the text version of your resume pasted into the body of the e-mail message to which the RTF resume is attached.
- Portable Document Format (PDF) resume that is also highly compatible and consistent in appearance across platforms, though difficult to place directly into databases. PDF resumes offer the advantages of being completely invulnerable to viruses and totally compatible across computer systems (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader software, a free download, to be opened and read). Have you ever noticed that when you send a resume (or any document) as an attachment from your computer to someone else's computer, it sometimes doesn't look the same on the other person's computer as it did on yours? Maybe it has more pages on the other computer, or maybe Page 2 starts at the bottom of Page 1, or maybe the fonts are different. A resume converted to PDF, which carries a .pdf file extension, looks virtually identical to the original document from which it was created, thus preserving the resume's visual appeal, and it also appears consistently from computer to computer. Some employers specifically request PDF resume files.

Jimmy Doherty in Darwin's Garden
BBC Two, 8.00pm
Pig farmer Jimmy Doherty heads to Charles Darwin's former home, Down House in Kent, to recreate some of the naturalist's experiments. Using Darwin's notebooks, Doherty carries out the "hands-on" experiments that Darwin undertook following his expedition on The Beagle. CM
Five, 8.00pm
If you can't get enough of the cat fights in America's Next Top Model, the show's creator and head judge, former supermodel Tyra Banks, is back with yet another reality series. Stylista pits 11 wannabe magazine editors against each other as they perform various assistant tasks (à la The Devil Wears Prada) and editorial assignments under the unforgiving glare of Elle fashion editor Anne Slowey. The eventual winner receives a year-long contract as Elle's junior editor, a clothing allowance to spend at H&M and a plush New York apartment. CM
Darwin's Dangerous Idea
BBC Two, 9.00pm
Following Jimmy Doherty's adventures in the gardens of Down House (see right), the BBC's Darwin season continues with Andrew Marr examining the widespread impact of Charles Darwin's theories. In tonight's opener Marr looks at how, even after 150 years, the naturalist's ideas on evolution are still as divisive as ever, and hears why some religions regard the theory of evolution as heresy. CM
Touring Britain: the Classic Motorist's Way
BBC Four, 9.00pm
In the second of his two programmes looking at modern Britain through classic guidebooks, the architectural historian David Heathcote uses the "opinionated and beautifully illustrated" Shell Guides to explore Devon and Cornwall. The Shell Guides to Britain were the brainchild of a young John Betjeman, who commissioned and edited all of them. They were published from the Thirties until the Sixties and were aimed at the new car-driving classes as they "took to rural Britain in droves". Heathcote loves the guides because, he says, they were defined by their writers. In Devon, using the guide compiled by the artist Paul Nash, Heathcote visits the Cerne Abbas Giant and Swanage, which Nash thought was a victim of "grotesque overdevelopment". In the Cornwall guide, written by Betjeman, the presenter follows the poet's advice to go to Tintagel in bad weather when the car park is empty. SH
Billy Connolly: Journey to the Edge of the World
ITV1, 9.00pm
"What a grim little place, awful and cold even now, in summer." No, comedian Billy Connolly wasn't talking about our beloved British Isles but the legendary Northwest Passage. In tonight's third instalment of this riveting travelogue from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the ever-engaging and intrepid Connolly follows in the footsteps of explorer Sir John Franklin, who perished on an expedition in 1845 to chart and navigate the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. CM
E4, 10.00pm
The teenage drama is not what it was – no wonder JJ (Ollie Barbieri) is feeling lost and confused. Tonight the psychiatric hospital gives him more pills, but Emily (Kathryn Prescott) proves to be a rock in his time of need. SH

LEGOLAND Florida Resort partners with Autism Speaks to raise awareness
WINTER HAVEN, Fla - Expanding its efforts to accommodate guests with special needs LEGOLAND Florida Resort is partnering with Autism Speaks, the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, to make its iconic, kid-centric theme park a more welcoming place for guests with autism.
Working closely with Autism Speaks, the vacation resort #BuiltForKids currently is installing a large panel of hands-on, sensory-stimulating activities in a quiet space within its theme park, the first of several planned projects that have earned LEGOLAND Florida Resort the organization's designation as an "autism friendly" destination on its website and social media channels.
"Autism Speaks applauds the efforts of LEGOLAND Florida Resort to provide special accommodations so that guests on the autism spectrum can maximize their park experience," said Karen Bacharach, senior director with Autism Speaks' Southeastern Regional Office in Maitland, Fla. "When asked, our Central Florida volunteers were eager to offer some design considerations to help the resort be autism friendly."
According to Aymee Good, brand manager at LEGOLAND Florida Resort, a recent refurbishment of the theme park's Annual Pass processing center provided an ideal opportunity to create a safe, calming space for children with special needs, a project that quickly bloomed into multiple ideas among several departments to make the resort a more welcoming place for kids of all ages and abilities.
Under the partnership, Autism Speaks staff members and volunteers will consult on the development and installation of "quiet rooms" and other resort facilities designed to meet the needs of guests with autism. The organization also will help LEGOLAND Florida Resort create online "social stories" that will provide illustrated walkthroughs of its attractions, shows and other guest amenities, and will consult on other autism-friendly initiatives such as a park map designed for guests with special needs and possible revisions to its existing Guide for Guests with Disabilities.
To better educate LEGOLAND Florida Resort employees (known as "Model Citizens") about the unique needs of guests on the autism spectrum, Autism Speaks staff members and volunteers will conduct training sessions at the resort at least twice a year and will supply educational material to be distributed to all new hires.
"We're proud to say that we're built for kids," said Rex Jackson, director of Marketing & Sales at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. "By partnering with Autism Speaks and making these smart changes that will benefit so many families, we're helping to ensure that our resort is truly built for all kids."
On Saturday, April 23, LEGOLAND Florida Resort will sponsor the Kids Zone area during the Autism Speaks Walk at Tropicana Field in Tampa, Fla., and on Saturday, Nov. 12, during the Autism Speaks Walk at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, Fla. The family friendly walks are an inspirational and impactful opportunity to raise money and awareness to help change the future for all those who struggle with autism. For more information, visit walknowforautismspeaks.org.
In honor of World Autism Awareness Day, observed on April 2, LEGOLAND Florida Resort participated in the Autism Speaks "Light It Up Blue" campaign by shining blue spotlights on its whimsical entrance arch and "welcome" sculpture made of thousands of LEGO® bricks. Each year, iconic landmarks, skyscrapers, schools, businesses and homes across the globe unite by shining bright blue lights in honor of the millions of individuals and families affected by autism. For more information, visit autismspeaks.org/liub.

UK experts have called for universal HIV testing, as new figures reveal that less than 4 per cent of England's population were tested for the disease in 2010.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has published new data which shows that too many people are unaware of their HIV status. An estimated 91,500 are living with HIV in 2010, up from 86,500 the year before, with a quarter of those unaware of their infection.
Infections likely to have been acquired from within the UK almost doubled in the past ten years from 1,950 in 2001 to 3,640 in 2010, exceeding those acquired abroad.
Two distinct groups account for about three-quarters of people with HIV in Britain: heterosexual Africans and gay and bisexual men.
In 2010, over 3,000 gay men were diagnosed with HIV - the highest ever annual number. One in 20 gay men is now infected with HIV nationally and in London the figure is one in 11.
Deborah Jack of the National AIDS Trust said: "People shouldn't be scared of HIV testing, but they should be scared of undiagnosed HIV".
"The advances in HIV treatment have been one of the biggest success stories in the 30 years since the virus first emerged, but too many people test too late and so fail to benefit from these drugs."
In 2010, one in five people visiting a sexual health clinic did not accept an HIV test, and two thirds of the 680 deaths from HIV in 2010 were among those diagnosed late.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) is calling for universal testing for the infection in all new GP registrants, as well as those being admitted to hospitals in high affected areas of the country.
Private medical insurance will not cover treatment for HIV, because it is considered a chronic condition. For more information about what your policy covers, read our FAQ page, or compare health insurance policies online now.
Health Insurance quotes from only £15 per month!
Proactive, efficient, and offered me insurance I need. I would say half price I would end up paying if I did it by myself. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Explained everything in detail and really helped to find the right insurance best suited to my needs - which wasn't necessarily the most expensive.
Good value and the advisor was very helpful and recommended the best policy for my grandson. I would definitely use this service again and recommend to others.
We were contacted in good time to make a knowledgable choice. We were given plenty of options with lots of information to enable us to make the right choice.
The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very efficient and knowledgable. She went out of her way to get the best policy for me.
Great service. I really appreciated the help provided by Active Quote to arrange health insurance. The agent was very informative and proactive. Many thanks!
I received excellent care and attention from the first phone call till the last. Friendly, efficient and patient.
Staff are very helpful, friendly and polite. They call back when they say they will and keep you up to date with progress. Pleasure to deal with.
Very polite and friendly, and gave detailed explanations of all aspects of the cover. Reassuring to know that if you do have a problem there is someone you can contact.
Friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble even when i needed to make a small change, excellent service.

This video is the reason I got my fat ass off the couch and started my adventure!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Girl.....

I first saw this video on your Sparkpage about 6 months ago, and it was so inspiring that I found the song and downloaded it for when I work out. This will probably crack you up, but I was in the supermarket today and they were playing it! And I thought: "There is Katie's theme song!"ReplyDelete
Wow. This made me cry. I am so glad I found your blog :) I will have to blogstalk you for weeks to catch up on your own story :) I am just at the start of mine and can only hope to be half as successful as you have been! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
I will watch this on those days I am struggling . . . WOW!ReplyDelete
That was awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!ReplyDelete
I also agree with Skinny Sonja. I found you on SparkPeople but this is the first time I've seen this video. I started reading your blog from your first entry and you are very inspiring! Great video. Thank you for posting! I know you think you aren't deserving of people looking to you for inspiration and motivation but let me tell you that even just since reading your blog I have decided to start running. And I am not a runner. So thanks again and keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
I'd love to watch but it's blocked in Canada for some reason. Anywhere else it can be seen besides here and Youtube?ReplyDeleteReplies
No, I'm sorry, but I had such a hard time getting it to upload! I haven't heard from anyone else saying that they weren't able to see it here, though. Maybe try a different computer?Delete
I'd love to hear from you! I read all of my comments, and if you have a question, I do my best to respond; sometimes, however, I get busy and forget to go back to reply, so if it's important, just email me! :)

'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' said the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland once to himself. And I am late myself indeed this week. I am SO late, that I decided to skip last Wednesdays blogpost about using 6×6 paper pads and re-schedule it for the last week in July instead. Will you forgive me?!
It has been MANIC this week – I had a couple of interviews but was finally (and just in time before everyone breaks up for summer) lucky to find a lovely school who wanted me! I am over the moon! Hooray!
Right, that's for the good news, let's go back to pretty paper, shall we? Perfect. This weeks challenge for you is to use some of your stickers you are hording in your stash and you haven't got use for.
For this layout I used more papers from Dear Lizzy's "5th & Frolic" paper collection by American Crafts. While scrapping this page (and others), the collection was shrinking visibly, but I was still left with some stickers I just hadn't had use for, e.g. the word TOGETHER and the big tree sticker. So for the title I tried to use the word TOGETHER (obviously), but tried to implement it in a questions and changed the use of it (the first thing which came to my mind when I saw the word TOGETHER was to scrap something about a friend and me and that we were "together" in that photo or place). But in this title, it has a different meaning and is looking at the total amount of the times I've been to Kingston Lacy (which apparently I cannot answer, because I haven't counted!).
For the tree – it has a label on its stem saying "Remember this, the story of us". Well, this was no use for me on this layout, so I just layered it with a banner to cover up the words.
I also used some of the sheets of paper with numbers on it, because it is all about numbers and counting here. Sometimes it is just coming together easily, don't you think?
So, when you got some time this weekend, get your stickers out and try to look at them in a different way to use them on your layouts. They won't be sticky for ever so use them while they still work! I am looking forward to your pages ladies!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

(Note: Videos are mildly NSFW. Those without VR headsets can choose the anaglyph option and use red-cyan glasses)
"The proof is in the pudding," to quote a more palatable one, than the overused; "Content is King".
After an earlier article I'd written: "Insta-ROI and Cinematic VR," I got a few emails from producers asking to explain more. One of them has accepted there's no free lunch, and so I've scored a consultation gig.
However, it's nice to have free pudding, so have a look at the video above – A test scene from the planned "Dirrogate:DeepVR" film and then, see a re-framed [...]
What's the difference between 360 video and video based VR? Have a look at the video above – and if possible, in a VR headset.
If you're viewing it on a PC monitor or Ipad or phone screen, the points being made won't apply… Why?
When viewing this video on a cell/laptop/ipad screen, our senses adapt – from years of watching flat video. We start taking 'depth cues' from motion, parallax and our known knowledge of the real world to quickly come to a conclusion about such things as:We're not really on Aladdin's floating carpet, but on a boat. At about 0:37, The boat will pass under the [...]
The scene above is from the upcoming VR film "Dirrogate:DeepVR". A pseudo-script excerpt might read somewhat like this:
Ext. Dan's Apt, Terrace, Night.
(ambiance: city sounds, a police siren wails in the distance)
We look at Maya through Dan's perspective, sitting on one of the sun loungers on the terrace.
Shooting in VR on Digital Sets:
For the past 4 days we've been shooting the opening scene of 'Dirrogate:DeepVR' at Hazelwood Terrace. The reason the scene's taking so long is not because Maya is a bad actor, no, in fact she's been really co-operative, going through multiple wardrobe changes, hair styles and contact lenses without fuss. Learning the ropes of filming on Digital sets in Virtual Reality, and discovering a new language of storytelling along the way, is the reason.
We'll get to some of the grammar and vocabulary soon; Deep VR and Root VR is the title of this article, after all. Let's talk a bit more about [...]

I guess many have heard about Pablo cheesetarts, the rare cheesetarts are my fav and I would always get one when I visit Japan, but in my recent trip to Japan this year. I found something better and it seems it is not as hyped or known like Pablo.
I ordered the Denmark Cheesecake set (just realised I didn't take photos of the cake properly, took vids instead) and I can't remember the price but it should be 1,200 yen-ish?
I bought it back for my friend and here's the photos. So what is special about this cheesecake is that there is two layers, a baked cheesecake as the base and the gooey cheese (which is so melty and stringy and yummy when heated).
Must eat for any cheesecake lovers
You get them take-out or eat-in. It is probably about 500 yen for one cheesecake if you buy in those take-out stores. I went to the outlet at motomachi shopping street and got the cheesecake from the store at Osaka station to bring back home.
While Pablo is nice, this is a whole new different taste~ try this!
More info here
There is an outlet at Harbourland Mosaic Shopping mall as well.
Shop name: 観音屋
Address: 3 Chome-9-23 Motomachidori, Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture 650-0022, Japan
Opening Hours : 11am- 10pm
Thanks for reading this post, if you would like to support me, please make a small contribution through here.
I have always heard about the magical beef in Japan, and how the farmers play music and feed chocolate to them and how tender their meat is, and the one always (mostly) talked about was Kobe beef. Hence, when I visited Kansai region for the first time in 2014, I made it a point to travel out to Kobe to try their famed Kobe beef & boy, was it good. More about that here. Then I blogged about the cheap kobe beef in Osaka (which was good too!) here. Then this year I went to Kobe again and tried another restaurant. More about that here.
The thing is, I have tried Kobe beef in Tokyo last year as well (seems like Japan is the only place I ever travel to now, since I only travel overseas once a year anyway :x) and it certainly tastes as good as the ones they have in Kobe, the restaurant I visited in Tokyo served it steak style though while the ones in Kobe & Osaka that i visited were served teppenyaki style. So, when I went to Tokyo with my friends last year, we went to eat Kobe beef in Tokyo as one of my friends wanted to try it.
We went to Kobe Beef Kaiseki 511 located at Akasaka.
More info here.
They serve cheap Kobe beef hamburger - 1,500 yen. People who are familiar with Japan hamburger will know that it is thick beef hamburger patty served with rice and sauce etc (not actually served with buns and all).
We ordered the 12,000 yen 150g lunch set instead of the lunch set which start at 3,800 yen as the staff told us that it was rump meat (less oil) which means it might not be as tender. The set came with tea (not pictured), rice, pickles, side dishes, soup etc.
See that thing on top of the beef? That is solidified shouyu, which will melt when it comes in contact with the beef. It COMPLEMENTS the beef so damn well. This is obviously very different from teppenyaki style Kobe beef, I must say I love this a lot because you get to eat, like a whole big piece of beef and it is just so satisfying.
This is a definite must-try if you are in Tokyo and love beef. You can try the hamburger set or the lunch special Kobe beef, but whatever it is, just go try Kobe beef or Japan beef in general. Totally life changing beef for us. My mum who does not like to eat beef loves Kobe beef, so you can imagine how good it is.
Anyway, when dining in Japan, it is a point to note that while restaurants may serve the same food for lunch and dinner, it is usually more expensive during dinner. For example, a 150g kobe beef steak might set you back at 7,000 yen during lunch, but it will be 15,000 yen or more during dinner. Hence, it is best to eat expensive food (eg sushi, Kobe beef etc) during lunch and food with fixed prices all day (eg. ramen/ udon/ soba/ gyudon) for dinner instead.
As usual, reservation is recommended.

I guess most of us love ramen. While there are many choices - ichiran, ippudo, rokurinsha etc...
The one in Ikebukuro - Mutekiya is absolutely delicious, if you love thick chashu and tonkotsu soup base, this is the place to go. Plus the fact that it is affordable - 1,050 yen?
More info here.
Coupon here (free 1/2 ajitama - ramen egg).
The good thing about mutekiya is that it opens till like 4am, so you can always go for late dinner after all your shopping since shops close so early (imo). The downside will be that there is always a long queue cos everyone thinks the same T^T. We visited close to 10pm and there was a long queue omg.
No regrets queuing tho. The chashu was so thick with the right amount of fats. The noodles are thick and springy, just the way I like it. Fans of thin noodles will probably prefer Ichiran noodles but I think the soup base here is way thicker and more delicious than ichiran (my opinion), but ichiran is delicious in its own way too. If you prefer thin noodles and lighter soup base, I doubt you will like this. However, if you are a fan of tonkotsu, then you have to try this.
We ordered the gyoza to share as well and it was pretty good as well.

Hokkaido is famous for their melons as well, santa no hige (santa's beard) is a melon with milk ice cream/ melon ice cream or a mix of melon and milk ice cream. There are two branches - one in Furano city, one in Otaru. I went to the one in Otaru cos it's more easily accessible without car and all.
More info Here.
To find the shop.
This place is near the canal so it should be wasy to spot. It is the building under the bell tower (?) thingy.
The shop is located on the first floor and we went up to level 2 to eat.
Half melon with plain ice cream - 1,100 yen. (mixed & melon ice cream cost 1,200 yen)
Quarter melon with ice cream - 650-700 yen w/o toppings.

So during my trip in Jul 2016 to Hokkaido (my 1st time to Hokkaido), I actually found out that there is a Michelin starred sushi restaurant in Otaru, which is less than 1 hour away (43 mins) from Sapporo by train.
I guess most of you who have been to Hokkaido or are planning to visit Hokkaido probably have planned a day trip to Otaru or something. Otaru is actually pretty famous for their seafood (especially uni / sea urcchin) so I was very excited to be there.
That was when I found out about a Michelin starred sushi restaurant in Otaru, which cost less than the price of the sushi set served in my favourite Tokyo sushi restaurant (which is not Michelin starred by the way), so I know I just have to try this.
Restaurant web here.
Btw, side track a little here. I stayed in an airbnb for my Otaru trip (2 nights cos I reached in the late afternoon of the 1st day), most people would probably just plan a day or even a half day trip down to Otaru but we took our time and I am glad we did. It was relaxing and my airbnb host was such a good guy I feel like crying and the house was so big (it has two rooms, we used one room to dry our clothes hehe), it was a proper apartment with living room and dining table, unlike apartments in Tokyo and Osaka (guess Hokkaido really has all the land). I had requested for my airbnb host to help me book a seat at the restaurant (I went alone) and he did, but then I requested for a counter seat and then he called again, and again, for like 8 times actually cos the shop was so busy/ did not pick up the phone. I was so touched. Then when we reached Otaru, he actually contacted us the day before to confirm the timing we would reach Otaru so we could drive us to the airbnb house which is about 10-15 mins walk away from the train station, 15-20 mins walk from the attractions/ shopping districts. Then he helped us to carry our luggage up the stairs into the house (2nd floor) and he did the same thing when we were leaving and were heading to Sapporo. He drove us to the train station and helped us to buy train tickets. He also showed us how to use all the things in the house (washing machine/ heater (we didn't need it cos it was summer but we switched it on to dry our clothes and it was so useful), how to use the stove, electrical appliances and all. He even showed me how to go to the sushi restaurant and offered to drive me there the next day for my reservation (I walked there myself cos it's like 5 mins walk away from the apartment). If you are going to Otaru and staying a night there, I highly recommend you to stay with this host (seems like he has two listings, prolly side by side anyway).
*end side-track*
Here's the menu + sushi when I went in July 2016.
I ordered the Jun set, since I was already there...
other pages of the menu
They also offer Japanese traditional cuisines but you have to tell them which set you want when you make a reservation since they probably buy ingredients according to the reservations and all.
As mentioned earlier, I requested for a change to counter seat... hehe, right in front of where the magic takes place.
Since I ordered Gin (16 sushi)...
All sushi were already seasoned with soy sauce/ citrus/ salt so we can just eat it. yums.
1. Karei (Flounder) - This was the first piece of sushi and it was good, like so fresh. Really made me anticipate what was coming next. In my excitement, I actually forgot to take a photo of this, so I re-ordered this after finishing the set + ordering one more nigiri lol.
2. Shake (Salmon) - probably one of the thing Hokkaido is known for anyway, super fresh.
3. Maguro no shoyuzuke - (seasoned tuna in soy sauce)
4. Chutoro (Medium fatty tuna) - okay, tbh I was a tad disappointed when i was served this, I was hoping for my fav tuna belly to appear but since I went at night there's probably no more ootoro, but it is still good though.
5. Shimesabe (Marinated mackerel)
6. Botan Ebi (big sweet shrimp) - very sweet.
7. Hotate (scallop)
8. Hokkigai (surf clam)
9. Tsubugai (whelk)
10. Shako - Okay, this is supposedly another famous Hokkaido local produce or something, but I didn't really like this (it was my first time eating this). It has a grainy texture and I think that is how the locals like it, doesn't really suit my tastes but it was sweet, so for me it is taste-wise: yes, texture-wise: no.
11. Zuwaigani (snow crab) - super sweet
12. Ikura (Salmon roe)
13. Tarako (cod fish roe)
14. & 15. 2 variety of sea urchin - Bafun uni & Murasaki uni. Bafun uni wins, hands-down. We might be used to eating Murasaki uni and I thought that was good enough, till I ate bafun uni. It was so much sweeter and flavor that murasaki uni pales in comparison, It is good, but bafun uni is better (& much more expensive tho. Nevertheless, I enjoyed both varieties.
16. Wakame (seaweed) - Usually when you see this or egg sushi, it signifies that your set is ending. I felt so sad when I was served this. I WANT MORE D:
17. Maguro Temaki (tuna handroll) - Almost always the last probably so to fill up people's bellies?
Shiromirugai (Geoduck) - I have never eaten raw geoduck before and I really wanted to try it and I did the right thing by ordering. It was fresh and I really liked the taste and texture. Apparently it was the most expensive sushi (I didn't know) that the sushi chef was like talking to the local guest who was like approving(?) me for ordering this and giving the thumbs up sign? The locals were like nodding their head in approval when I ordered this. Think it is 880 yen for a piece or something T^T.
+ an additional karei (just so I can snap a photo of it lol)
So in total, I ate like 18 sushi and was so stuffed, but I have no regrets and their service is really good. Instead of topping up your tea, they actually changed the entire cup so you have a piping hot cup of tea instead of lukewarm tea. Oh yeah, set came with soup as well.

I love to eat. Whenever I am travelling, my priority will be food food food food, and hence I decided to visit all the markets that I could find in various cities in Japan.
I love kaisen don (seafood bowl) and it is so hard to find one that is good and yet still within my budget in Singapore. When I went to Hokkaido, I seem to lose my mind. I made a point to visit the Hakodate market, Otaru sankaku market and Sapporo nijo market.
I am going to write about the uni hotate (sea urchin & scallop) don that I ate in Otaru sankaku market. Otaru Sankaku Market is located so near the train station you can see it from there, like seriously.
More info on Otaru Sankaku market here.
Otaru sankaku market is like really small, there is only like a stretch of shops and that's it. It is very small compared to Tsukiji market in Tokyo, Nishiki market in Kyoto, Kuromon market in Osaka. However, theere are still good food in there.
So, we went to the market. I swear it kept raining when we were in Otaru, it rained like the both days we were there. Nevertheless, I still insisted that we go to the market for breakfast. I wonder if we went early (9-ish) cos it was really empty or was it ebcause it was a weekday and it was raining? hmm, but less people = better for us anyway :D
More info about the shop here.
I knew I wanted to eat uni hotate don and I read about this shop online and hence I wanted to visit it. Sorry I didn't took a photo of the exterior but the shop name is 食べ処あい田 . Click on the link above and there will be photos of the shop. It wasn't that well-lit or bright and I wonder if that was why the shop was empty when we went but it was alright cos the food was so good omg. I personally think it is better than the other shop in the market.
Live scallops in the tank at the entrance of the shop~~
Here's the menu. Sorry it's not that clear but we ordered the uni hotate don (2,800 yen), if you only want the hotate don, it will be 900 yen (which is so affordable!) and they have other cooked set meals (if you don't like raw food) and there are some which are under 1,000 yen as well. Very affordable.
We were served tea once we were seated & the owner will cook in front of us. Our order took some time because the SCALLOPS WERE FRESHLY SHUCKED. After you order any scallop dish (I think), the daughter actually goes out with a box (?) to take scallops from the tank to be prepared for your dish. Talk about fresh~~ Can't get any fresher than that. For the uni though, I heard they got it from another store pre-packed (this might explain why the uni hotate don is more expensive than the hotate don by like 1900 yen) , but the uni is still fresh and sweet. I can't eat uni that good with that price in Singapore so I went for it.
My meal~~ comes with soup, two side dishes which tasted really good as well and fruits too! I thought the side dishes and fruits were a really sweet gesture. Usually most shops will just serve you soup, no side dish or fruit so I was pleasantly surprised.
& the taste? SUPERB. The scallops and uni are so fresh and sweet, no weird taste at all. The uni was so buttery and creamy with just the right amount of saltiness. I wish I could eat this everyday ugh.

In my trip this year, I went to Kobe for Kobe beef again, but at a different restaurant. I think the restaurants in Kobe tend to serve Kobe beef teppenyaki style (the restaurant I ate 2 years ago in Kobe also served it Teppenyaki style) while the one in Tokyo that I went last year served it steak style. Both are delicious with the difference being that you get to see it being cooked in front of you if it is Teppenyaki-style and it tends to be cut into small cubes. Kobe beef in Kobe are actually cheap, they have courses starting from 3,000 yen in most restaurants although the cuts are not the ones with nicest marbling but if you are on a budget and still want to try Kobe beef, you can try that course.
This time, I went to Kobe Plaisir, located at the first floor of the B' Hotel Kobe. They have an English website and they serve Kobe beef in different style (steamed, shabu shabu, teppenyaki). I chose teppenyaki style of course.
This is the menu.
We ordered Course B Kobe Beef Sirloin. As mentioned earlier, 3,000 yen course tend to be rump meat etc (less fats, not as beautiful marbling). I will recommend going for sirloin or fillet.
This is my appetizer (I chose vinegar cos it is good for the skin). The appetizer was good.
Pumpkin soup (I love pumpkin so i was very happy when they served this)
Kobe beef + veggie (sirloin steak. this is the portion for 2 btw)
Kobe beef
Fried rice (you can choose normal & fried rice but I chose fried rice cos I love fried rice + they actually use kobe beef chips in your fried rice)
I ordered the sparkling drink. The green juice is for you to wash your palate (very healthy btw).
After your meal, you will be brought to another area for dessert. The yogurt mousse is so good omg. I wish they sell take-away for that (+ the vinegar drink).
The bill. the additional 850 yen was for drink that we ordered. if you didn't order drink then it will be just your meal + tax.
I highly recommend this shop for people who want to try Kobe Beef. The portion might seem little (100g) but the beef is really good and the other side dishes are good as well. Very satisfying meal.
Reservations are highly recommended. I made my reservation 2 weeks earlier and some slots were already fully booked. Click here for reservations. They will send you an email after you submit the reservation form on their web. Just reply to confirm & they will send another email nearer to the date of reservation. Similarly, just reply to confirm.
When I went to Hokkaido in July, it was the Lavender season and so I was really looking forward to going to the Lavender farm. We wanted to visit Aoi Ike - Blue pond in Biei as well and it is such a hassle to transfer from train to bus and back to train again when we want to visit the Lavender farm. As we were staying in Sapporo (too lazy to move our luggage & change hotel), I initially had all the train routes planned out (took me so long to do so) & it was so troublesome and far my goodness. Hokkaido is like, seriously big and I would like to have a month or more to slowly and fully explore the areas.
That was when I found out about the one day bus tour offered by Hokkaido Chuo Bus. WHY DIDN'T I FIND OUT ABOUT THIS BEFORE I PLANNED MY TRAIN TRIP T^T. Anyway, I decided to take this trip because it is still cheaper than getting train tickets and less troublesome (no need to change trains, bus etc). This website offers quite a variety of bus tours in Hokkaido, so you guys can check it out if you are interested. The tour that I took is not available now anymore (probably cos lavender season has ended).
Point of boarding was at Sapporo Station Bus Terminal located at Esta Building Level 2 where you can get your tickets from. I reserved my tickets online beforehand and many did as well, so if you are interested in a course it will be best to secure a seat by reserving online and then pay & get your tickets at the counter on the day itself. They will send you a confirmation email and a map telling you where you can collect the tickets. There will be many people queuing to collect their tickets and there are many bus groups so please reach earlier (30 mins earlier or more) to pay & collect your tickets.
My tour cost 7,200 yen per pax and the itinerary was something like this (I Know I don't take the best photographs but you guys can always google the pics ok~):
Sapporo Station Bus Terminal (boarding) - Rest Area (toilets, food etc) - Somewhere we can take photos (Sorry I don't rmb the place; but there's white corn and food here too) -
Blue Pond , we were very blessed because if it rained any day from 3 days before, then the pond will be green in color (it was green when my friends went).
Goto Sumio Museum , ok we had our lunch here (included in the tour) and it was so good omg. The pork was so tender and the melon was so sweet. Satisfying. Then we went in to see the art exhibits (also included in the tour). To be honest, this place wasn't in our visit list when we were planning our trip. It was out of the way and I have no idea how to get there unless you drive (ok, maybe a bus will stop here). It was a blessing in disguise because the art pieces were so amazing. You can see the amount of efforts put into the paintings, which could take 10 years or more to complete (we can;t take photos inside) but I got some postcards though. -
Farm Tomita (Lavender Farm) , The lavender ice cream that I wanted to try omg. This place, like all other tourist attractions were crowded. Aoi Ike was crowded but this place was even more crowded and I didn't even know if I was taking photos of the flowers or of people anymore. Somehow, I just gave up on taking photos and instead chose to enjoy the view instead. They were selling lots of lavender products, Be sure to check it out. If you can (if you are driving), you can visit earlier to beat the crowds (hopefully). -
Rest Area - Sapporo Red Brick warehouse - Sapporo Clock Tower - Sapporo Station bus Terminal.
On the way back they gave us 3 places where we could choose to alight (all near Sapporo).
Seats on the bus are assigned btw, so just find your seat number after boarding the bus and relax.
I highly recommend this tour for people who are:
1) Not driving; it is actually cheaper to join this tour and less troublesome than getting on an express train then switching to a local train then switching to bus to aoi ike then bus back to the train station then train to the farm and then train back to another station for the express train back to Sapporo.
2) With kids (Refer to point 1)
3) Lazy to plan
So, I finally went to Hokkaido this year (YAY - I've been saving for a year omg). I went to Japan in July 2016, wanting to catch the One Piece Premier show at USJ (Totally worth it seriously, all One Piece fans should go if you know Japanese, although I'm certain you will still enjoy it even if you don't).
As we went to Japan in July, it was freaking hot (I hate summer), I couldn't stop sweating and was suffering from mild dehydrated (starting to feel giddy, headaches etc). People, if you travel in summer, please please keep cool and remember to drink lots of water, apply sunblock, bring caps and umbrellas as well.
To escape the heat, we squeezed in a 6-7 day Hokkaido trip this time. BEST DECISION MADE. It was way cooler in Japan and the food was so damn good (good cheesecake, good milk ice cream, good ramen, good milk, good melon, good seafood).
Alright, I went to the Nijo market in Hokkaido cos I wanted to eat kaisen don and wanted to walk around the markets (I didn't have much time to walk around at Nijo Market cos I had to get to the airport to fly back to Osaka in like 2 hours time or smthg), but I had a greatly satisfying meal to end the Hokkaido leg of my trip.
Find out more about Nijo market here.
The shop name is Ohiso (大磯), I walked there from my hotel and it took about 20 minutes or more.
Here's the English menu.
I ordered the small Uni, Kani, Ikura and Salmon don (2,880 yen), I added a hotate for 500 yen). You can also add prawn for 500 yen.
A photo of the don with my hand for comparison. My hand is about the size of an Iphone 6, just in case you guys are wondering. The shop staff will show you plastic models of the sizes before you order, so you can order the regular bowl if you are a big-eater. As I went in summer, I did not have much appetite. more of fatigue but I still really wanted to eat the don. All I can say is, Hokkaido seafood is so fresh and as the bowl is deep, it is surprisingly filling. It might not be considered cheap especially if you are on a budget but I think an occasional splurge is fine.
Comes with miso soup. All I can say is, it definitely is worth the money. The seafood is fresh and they are generous with their seafood. The seafood that I ate in this trip are the sweetest and freshest I have ever tasted. It probably will cost like 3 times or more in Singapore and the quality wouldn't even be as good.
One last pic, cos it's so good. I can't wait to go Hokkaido again!

A person wanting to know his or her complete genetic blueprint can already have it done -- for $350,000. But personal genome readouts could become affordable to the rest of us soon, says the New York Times.
- Pacific Biosciences - or PacBio -- has been developing a DNA sequencing machine that within a few years might be able to unravel an individual's entire genome in minutes, for less than $1,000.
- If the cost of sequencing a human genome can drop to $1,000 or below, experts say it would start to become feasible to document people's DNA makeup to tell what diseases they might be at risk for, or what medicines would work best for them.
- A DNA genome sequence might become part of each newborn's medical work-up, while sequencing might help doctors look for ways to attack cancer patients' tumors.
To spur such advances, the federal government has awarded about 35 grants totaling $56 million to companies and universities for development of technology that could put the $1,000 genome sequence within reach. PacBio has received $6.6 million from that program.
However, scientists note that they do not know what those bigger differences might mean in terms of disease risk, because they have not yet had thousands of human genomes to study. So right now, personal genome readouts would provide little useful information beyond what could be obtained by the less expensive scans. And some experts even question how useful those scans are.

Harvest of Despair Trailer (1985)
10 October 1985 55 mins
Via the New York Times: "...a frankly biased, angry recollection of the great, "man-made" famine of 1932-1933 in which up to seven million people starved to death in the Ukraine. It is the film's thesis that Stalin was directly responsible by his ruthless expropriation of virtually all of the grain harvested in the Ukraine over a two-year period."

WTIC Alumni Site
In Memory of and Designed by Bill Clede
WTIC Radio to Remember
This was the title on a book published by the station in 1985, and many people remember the "old" WTIC even today. The story of the station reads like a history of broadcasting because WTIC dates from February 10, 1925. WTIC signed on that evening at 7:45. The Traveler's Walter Cowles gave an opening speech:
" ... This service has been installed purely and simply as a new means of publicity. It is a method by which we are able to come into close personal relationship with the public... The hope and constant aim of this station will be to earn the goodwill, friendship and confidence of those who hear us."
A male quartet from the Mendelssohn Glee Club of New York sang several selections. Mrs., Gertrude McAuliffe, gave a recital accompanied by pianist Mrs. Burton Yaw. Clayton Randall, Chief Engineer, assembled a mobile unit, parked it in an alley behind the Hotel Bond, and brought listeners the music of the Emil Heimberger Trip performing inside. It was WTIC's first remote broadcast. The opening night program lasted until 10:24. Herman Taylor was Assistant Engineer.
The first transmitting site were twin 150-foot towers on the Grove Street building supporting a T-shaped, center-fed antenna. Walter Johnson became the first regular announcer in 1925. By the late 50s, he became President and General Manager.
The Early Days
Early music programming was almost entirely live, recorded music was considered of such poor quality. Local groups provided it but WTIC soon began hiring musicians. Laura Gaudet was hired as staff pianist in 1925. The Travelers Jongleurs, a string quartet conducted by Norman Cloutier was the first significant musical group. Later in 1929, Cloutier lead the WTIC dance band, The Merry Madcaps, to national fame with a half-hour noontime network broadcast. WTIC announcer George Bowe introduced the band.With the addition of the Traveler's Symphonic Ensemble in 1926, WTIC built a large reserve of musicians and announcers.
The 500-watt Western Electric transmitter served for four years. In 1928, WTIC acquired the Talcott Mountain site, bought the first RCA 50,000-watt transmitter, affectionately know as "Old Number One", and put it on the air in 1929.
That's the year Paul W. Morency (at right) joined the station. He was acutely aware that WTIC had already developed its own personality. It had become far more than just a publicity vehicle for Travelers. WTIC issued its first rate card in 1930. He was also aware what competitors were doing. He became WTIC's first President.
Leonard J. Patricelli (at left) also joined the staff in1929, as a scriptwriter. He became the first full time continuity writer in New England. He became program manager in 1943, vice president of television programming in 1957, vice president and general manager in 1963, executive vice president in 1966. He became president of Broadcast Plaza Inc. in 1967, a title he carried over to the Ten Eighty Corporation. In 1978 he was named chairman of the board, holding that position until his death in 1982.
The "Golden Age of Radio" was during the 1930s when people couldn't afford going out. Movies were inexpensive but you could stay home and listen to a drama with sound effects that became the "theater in your mind". You remember Little Orphan Annie, Jack Armstrong, Lone Ranger, The Shadow, I Love a Mystery, Inner Sanctum, Lux Radio Theater, and others. With vocal characterization and sound effects, your mind could imagine far more dramatic scenery than television could ever show.
WTIC produced its own radio dramas. The WTIC Playhouse went on the air on September 23, 1931 under the direction of Guy Hedlund with his repertory company of such actors as Ed Begley, Edie (Michael) O'Shea, Gertrude Warner, Louie Nye, and Jan Miner.
"The Wrightville Daily Clarion" was written and produced by Paul Lucas, who played Elisha Wright. Announcer Fred Wade played Cousin Zeke and other roles. Eunice Greenwood was Sister Janey. The show ran from May 1933 to March 1939. It was revived briefly in 1949 as "Wrightville Folks."
"The Musical Clock" was the morning show then. In 1934, Ben Hawthorne (at right) took it over. Everything said was carefully scripted, then. Hawthorne was the first announcer to ad lib on WTIC.
Although news, sports, and weather were broadcast regularly as early as1927, there was no local news staff. Announcers read news from the Hartford Courant and The Hartford Times. By June1935, the station subscribed to Transradio News Service, replaced by Yankee Network in 1936, and developed its own Central Connecticut Bureau of Transradio News in 1938.
The flood of 1936 and hurricane of 1938 set the pattern for WTIC's further development -- accurate, responsible and community-oriented reporting. The Connecticut River inundated Hartford in 1936 and WTIC became the focal point for disaster information. It served the role again in1938 when a hurricane swelled rivers all over the state. WTIC was the only station able to remain in constant operation. Ben Hawthorne and program manager Tom McCray used a makeshift shortwave setup to report live from atop the Travelers Tower.
When Ben Hawthorne, host of the popular "Morning Watch" program enlisted in the Army in 1942, Ben's wife, Travilla, played Rosie the Riveter, that is, she took over her husband's duties. Some months later, in March 1943, Bob Steele (at left) was given a chance to audition for the morning time slot. Bob had introduced "Strictly Sports" in 1939. His lively wit and wisdom established him as one of the station's unique personalities. The "Morning Watch" eventually became the "Bob Steele Show".
"Quiz of Two Cities" wasn't the first quiz program on the station. WTIC invented the format in 1927 with a show called "Jack Says: Ask Me Another." But "Quiz of Two Cities" became an instant hit when it first aired on October 6, 1940. George Bowe was emcee for Hartford and Fred Wade handled the broadcasts from Springfield.
The War Years
With the approach of World War II, Paul Morency strengthened his resolve to report accurately. He was less interested in getting the story first than he was in getting it right. To coordinate all news operations He hired N. Thomas Eaton in October 1941.
WTIC geared up for the war effort. Sales manager Irwin Cowper suggested the Morse code letter "V" (dit, dit, dit, dah) for Victory be used as the hourly time tone. Patricelli refined it to the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth, and it went on the air on July 4, 1943. The station originated the "United States Coast Guard on Parade" program. The emcee was the youngest announcer on NBC, Bob Tyrol (at right).Tyrol became so enamored he enlisted several months later. After the war, Tyrol came home to WTIC.
The station helped to raise more than $1,000,000 in war bonds. Then $l,132,000 to fight polio. Chief Announcer Bernard Mullins (at right) directed the project.
On July 6, 1944, spectators were enjoying the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Baily Circus when the main tent suddenly burst into flames. Announcers George Bowe and Bernie Mullins rushed to the scene and found uncontrolled panic. Regular programming was cancelled and the station turned its attention to Red Cross, fire, and police officials to help quell rapidly swelling rumors.
Post-War Period
"Cinderella Weekend"was one of the first audience participation shows. It premiered on August 4, 1947 and remained in the program lineup until May 1,1953, 289 Cinderellas later. The show originated from the Orchid Room at Ryan's Restaurant on Pearl Street. It became such a hit that announcers Floyd Richards (at left) and Bob Tyrol adapted it for the stage and took it on the road around the state.
The station continued to present live music into the 1950s, the audience clamored for the latest recordings. Ross Miller (at left) became WTIC's first true disk jockey in the late 1940s when he brought "Juke Box Jingles" to his afternoon drive time show. Ross became known as "Ross, the Musical Miller". Bob Downes (at right) was engineer for "Juke Box Jingles." He later became Bob Steele's engineer.
WTIC consistently featured shows for women. Jean Colbert joined the station in1947 and became hostess of "Radio Bazaar", later changed to the "Jean Colbert Show." Six days a week, the audience heard her opening at 8:30 am, "Good morning, everybody."
Allen Ludden was hired in the late 1940s as a continuity writer and eventually helped develop the concept for "Mind Your Manners", a program for teenagers. The show was picked up by NBC and won many awards for youth programming. On May 5, 1951 the show taped an interview with a 16-year-old drug addict in prison. It aired on NBC and became the focus of a campaign to fight teenage drug addiction. "Mind Your Manners" continued on both NBC radio and a local New York television station. Ludden went on to become the host of the popular CBS TV game show, "Password".
"Your neighbor down the road" was the unforgettable Frank Atwood (at left). He launched "Connecticut Farm Forum" in 1939 as a Saturday morning feature. He joined the staff full time as Farm Director in 1946.The Frank Atwood Show aired daily from 5:30 to 6:45. He developed the WTIC Farm Youth Program involving youngsters in breeding and raising purebred dairy and beef calves. Atwood retired in 1970 and Don Tuttle stepped in to host the farm show. But the state's farm population dwindled. Later, Bill Clede became host of the 5 to 6 am "WTIC Outdoors".
By the end of the decade WTIC upgraded its technology replacing the original RCA 50,000-watt transmitter with a more modern 50,000-watt Westinghouse transmitter. It went on the air in July 1947. WTIC engineers hand-built a 1 kilowatt FM transmitter and put it on the air on February 5, 1940, as W1XSO. By December the station became permanent as W-53-H picking up most of its programming from the AM station. It officially became WTIC FM in November 1943.
With its broad audience, WTIC musical programming covered everything from jazz to opera. George Malcolm-Smith, editor of The Travelers Beacon, was the resident jazz expert. His "Gems of American Jazz" ran from1942 to1951. Robert E.Smith (at right) was the station's classical music maven. His "Your Box at the Opera" premiered in 1945 and ran for 25 years.
Then one day in 1973, the news hit the station like an atomic bomb, "The stations are being sold off by Travelers." When Ross Miller hired Bill Clede as Outdoor and Environmental Director, he tried to explain the job benefits and got confused. Clede said, "Just pay me money, Ross, and I'll take care of myself." The day the news of the sale broke, Ross passed Clede in the hallway and said, "What was that you said about job benefits?"
The Washington Post made a deal for TV3 and Kathryn Graham came to town to cement it. Patricelli and Tyrol joined with David Chase to buy the AM FM Radio side and moved it to Chase's Gold Building on Main Street. That day marked the end of an era that was not likely to ever be rebuilt under then FCC Rules.

Just purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad tablet... got some questions...
- I just got a ThinkPad tablet for use at school. There's a couple things I want to be able to do but I don't know if I can or how. I got all my books as ebooks, and I want to be able to take notes on the tablet. Is there any way to see my text book and a note taking app side-by-side? If there's no way to see two apps side by side, is there an app that allows for viewing ebooks and taking hand written notes at the same time?
Also, I'm curious about the buttons on the tablet ( home, back, web, rotate lock) is there any way to remap them to do different things? I would like to have one of the buttons toggle between the open app and the last one that was open.
Thanks!09-11-2011 05:33 PM
- I was thinking about getting one for school as well and those are good questions. I would also like to know how you are liking it so far (these questions aside). Could you please provide a quick review?10-04-2011 09:58 PM
- Let me start off by saying that I bought it to replace a Windows 7 Tablet PC with Wacom digitizer. The tablet certainly cannot replace a full blown PC, but since I bought it I haven't carried my PC with me anywhere. Anything that cannot run on the tablet, I simply use Splashtop HD as a remote desktop connection. Other than one time that my power at home turned off rendering my PC unreachable, it has worked out very nicely. So far I have primarily used the remote desktop functionality to be able to do programming with visual studio, as well aas some Photoshop and illustrator work.
For taking notes i use Writepad Stylus. It is designed for writng with a stylus and has calibration built in. Also, it has palm detection. I should note however that in any app using the stylus disables any touch input. You have to have the stylus touch before your hand, but after that as long as the stylus doesn't move too far from the screen all touch input is ignored. The app has had 3 updates in the month I've had the device alone, with many great features added.
Overall I have been extremely happy with the device, and I'm looking forward to when the keyboard folio is available. It certainly can't replace a PC, but while not at home the remote desktop access has been more than sufficient.10-05-2011 11:02 AM

Scheming cabal of Remoaners form pact to BLOCK Theresa May's grammar school expansion plan
A CABAL of Remoaner Tories and left-wingers has united to block Theresa May's plans to expand grammar school education.
Former education secretary Nicky Morgan, who was sacked by Theresa May, has joined forces with Liberal Democrat former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and Labour ex-shadow education minister Lucy Powell to oppose the plan.
The privately educated Ms Morgan and has joined the former public schoolboy Mr Clegg to oppose children from poorer backgrounds having the same opportunities they enjoyed at high performing schools which select on academic ability.
Ms Morgan, a hardline Remoaner, has been trying to undermine the Government from the back benches on a range of policies after she struggled to accept the result of the historic EU referendum.
Ms Morgan has joined hardline remoaners to battle plans to expand grammar schools
We must rise to the challenge with a new national mission to boost education and social mobility for all
In a joint article, she, Mr Clegg and Ms Powell argued that creating new grammar schools will do nothing to promote social mobility and warn there is no room for more "division or political ideology" in the education system.
"We must rise to the challenge with a new national mission to boost education and social mobility for all," they write.
"That's why we are putting aside what we disagree on, to come together and to build a cross-party consensus in favour of what works for our children not what sounds good to politicians."
Mr Clegg argues that there is no room for more 'division or political ideology'
The rebellion by a number of Tory MPs and likely problems in the Lords also has raised the possibility that Mrs May could go for an early election on 4 May.
With a working majority of just 17, Mrs May's vulnerability to Tory revolts was underlined last week when Chancellor Philip Hammond was humiliatingly forced to back down over his Budget reforms to National Insurance following a backlash from the backbenches.
Mrs May has refused to back down on her popular policy of reintroducing grammar schools arguing that it will boost the chances of academically gifted children from families not rich enough to send them to private schools.
When she announced the policy last year, she said: "For too long we have tolerated a system that contains an arbitrary rule preventing selective schools from being established – sacrificing children's potential because of dogma and ideology.
"The truth is that we already have selection in our school system – and it's selection by house price, selection by wealth. That is simply unfair."
She added: "This is about being unapologetic for our belief in social mobility and making this country a true meritocracy – a country that works for everyone."

Present view created programatically upon tab bar selection - iOS
I have a view controller called
ContainerViewController which manages 3 views: a main view and two side panels that can slide in from the left or the right. I'm able to present this
ContainerView modally within a
didSelectRowAt table view delegate method like so:
let containerViewController = ContainerViewController()
self.present(containerViewController, animated: false, completion: nil)
When the ContainerViewController is created, 3 storyboard views (Main, Left, and Right) are added to it, but now I want this to happen when a tab bar selection is made. When working with tab bar controllers, I've only ever used storyboard segues to present views, so how can I achieve this? Thanks in advance!

Simple,elegant watch,which I enjoy wearing.The watch has character.people will ask to look at it
The strap seems durable,not the most comfortable.
The clasp works well,but nothing special.
The watch,I really like,its a keeper.The strap,I may change eventually.
Brilliant for the price...
Hope my review helped :
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Simply a great watch. The strap ranges from very small to very latge and is easy to remove links. The watch itself looks really nice. It is a great product from Casio.
The only thing I dislike is that it has a few scratches on the underside if the strap from where I rest my wrist, but that is not very noticeable.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Very nice looking watch, brought as a present for my fianc� to stop him complaining about the battery in his current watch dying as its so old people are unwilling to change it.
The watch arrived very quickly. Quicker than I expected, in a well packaged box.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Brilliant watch, just the right size for my wrists and because its solar powered Ill never have to worry about changing the battery.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
everything is perfect, the quality, the size, I got it within 2 days, so the delivery was excellent
Rating: Fair (2 / 5)
Bought this watch for my wife who only likes watches with numerals. Liked the solar facility which means I wont have to fit a new battery every 2 years. Found removal of links in the strap a bit tricky and could not find a length that was a good fit for my wife. Eventually I had to fit a new Fixoflex strap which was a lot more comfortable. I noticed that there is no option for alternative watch straps on the Watchshop site. The other downside of this watch is the visibility of the hands. In bright sunlight they are almost invisible as they are made from matt steel. You have to tilt the watch around to be able to see the hands. The image on the website seems to make the hands very visible. My wife is wearing the watch and has got used to the almost invisible hands. Would I recommend this watch? No. Change the strap and paint the hands white and I might think again.
Rating: Very good (4 / 5)
When choosing a new watch, I wanted a watch with numbers not just lines, a date, and nothing else! This watch was about the only one fitting the description that I was able to find, and am very pleased with it. Too early to tell if the solar power really does work as well as it sounds, but the instructions do advise you leave it in a sunny window for half a day every month to give the battery a proper solar charge presumably not necessary in summertime if like me you wear short sleeves anyway!. The strap is very shiny and handsome! One small niggle - the silver hands become camouflaged against the background when viewed from certain angles, but this is only a problem in bad light and then just a small detraction. Overall really pleased.
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
The watch is fabulous it was for a birthday present and I ordered it online which was easy to do and the emails were correct for delivery information it was well packaged and arrived as stated
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Bought the watch for work and needed one without having to keep changing the battery its a good all around watch to use and fits perfectly would recommend
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Great watch with neat display. Very smart and everyday watch. Solar power is a added must have feature.

text: about; I know there are many unlock all methods for Halo 4 out there, but there was a method for jtag/rgh as well. I thought i would make a program that would do that method for you. This was my first real time editing program, let me know what you think. I have tested it, and it works perfectly. There is no auto-detection in place for this, you have a very low chance of getting banned for it. Just don't go around wearing armor you shouldn't have unlocked, and you're fine. (like specilizations i suppose.) Quick Notice: This is inside of the RGH/Jtag modding section because the program itself will only work on a RGH/Jtag, but you can use this program to unlock all the armor for an account that you wish to use on your retail console. Just be aware that you shouldn't wear armor pieces that you obviously shouldn't have at your rank, then you'll be fine. 343i made a post on their forums, stating that people who did modifications to their profiles will be banned. It's not automatic, but they are working on it, and the ban wave has begun. If you feel unsafe, use one of the GPD unlockers to re-lock the armor.

I'm working with coder on some other stuff, soon to come as well. Thanks to everyone who helped me out! Credits are given in the About of the app. Video of something my friend is working on. I've added his stuff to my own RTE App, but i don't know if it'll be released (mine), he might release his later.

Honoring Rangers: The Unsung Heroes Who Help Fight Rhino Poaching
By Karen Elowitt Published: September 19, 2016, 6:00 pm
Rhino Protection Unit, Kruger National Park. Photo: southafrica.net/lockedhornproject.com
Rangers may be the only thing between rhinos and extinction. South Africa's Kruger National Park is home to 90 percent of the world's rhino population, and that's where most of the poaching occurs. The park is larger than the Netherlands, mostly undeveloped, has few roads, and shares a border with Mozambique. All these make it difficult to patrol. Hundreds of rangers risk their lives every day to save rhinos. As poachers get bolder and more heavily armed, the chance of rangers getting involved in armed contact has risen from 2 percent up to 60 percent.

Microlinguistics is a branch of linguistics that concerns itself with the study of language systems in the abstract, without regard to the meaning or notional content of linguistic expressions. In micro-linguistics, language is reduced to the abstract mental elements of syntax and phonology. It contrasts with macro-linguistics, which includes meanings, and especially with sociolinguistics, which studies how language and meaning function within human social systems.[1] The term micro-linguistics was first used in print by George L. Trager, in an article published in 1949 in Studies in Linguistics: Occasional Papers.[2]

depends on what Cisco product you bought....
the 800 series will do dynamic IP detection on the WAN but you have to be sure the model you get has that feature. Further, you want to make sure that if you have a modem provided by your ISP, you don't get the ADSL model as it has modem capabilities which will conflict with your ISP modem.
the Linksys products provide full firewall capabilities on the WAN port and are much more user friendly for configuration with it's web utility than the Cisco brand [though both are Cisco companies]. Cisco IOS is not for the novice as configuring access lists can be quite confusing [requires planning ahead] and take up a lot of admin time.

Hello, I MAY be able to get a static IP address on the central

Are you super hangry right now? You should plan a visit to Joplin, Missouri. Picture primo eateries all over the map. That is the everyday truth experienced by the locals in Joplin, Missouri.
This is a regional hub and the top restaurants nearby likely won't win many Michelin stars. We refuse to track taste and service by some critic's arbitrary standards however. Who appointed them judge and jury of fine feasting? Joplin, Missouri doesn't ask for approval from celebrity chefs.
Whether you want to cruise to the nearest burger joint or take your taste buds to the next level, we have it all covered like gravy. If you like spice, you will be inspired by how these cool cooks use hot sauces, sriracha sauce, cayenne pepper and thyme in their bases. Some restaurants we have highlighted in Joplin, Missouri are casual for any meal. Others are for fine dining and big occasions to talk about your career with your mentor.
These hip restaurants are so tasty you will tell the chefs they should sell great delivery food around Joplin, Missouri. Get a reservation right away.
