Located 25km outside Colombo in Delgoda, this is a major centre for meditation instruction in the style of the late Mahasi Sayadaw. Accommodation and meals are offered free of charge, though donations are expected. Most meditators stay for an initial three-week training period, after which they can meditate on their own for as long as they like.
Left-luggage services are available at the Fort train station's cloakroom. As you approach the station from Olcott Mawatha, it's on the extreme left of the building. Left-luggage facilities are also available at Bandaranaike International Airport (Rs 25 per bag per day).

In Kotte on the eastern edge of Colombo, the Water's Edge Golf & Country Club has a modern 18-hole golf course. The lovely large pool here is open to the public and the relatively new 450-sq-m Aryana Spa offers a menu of Sri Lankan, Thai and Balinese treatments at very reasonable rates. Visitors can use the pools at several top-end Colombo hotels for a fee.
Known as kovils, Hindu temples are numerous in Colombo, with a particularly high concentration in Pettah. All the following kovils are open from 6am to 6pm.
During the European era Fort was indeed a fort, surrounded by the sea on two sides and a moat on the landward sides. Today it's a curious mix of brash modern structures, such as the World Trade Center, and venerable red-brick institutions from the Colonial-era, such as Cargills and Millers.
Accident service.
Colombo's radio cab companies take anywhere from five to 20 minutes to arrive. All have air-con cars with meters and average Rs 50 per kilometre. A reliable company is Ace Cabs.
White-water rafting, kayaking, hot-air ballooning and bicycling tours.
Fire & rescue service.

Gaming is legal in Colombo, but for foreign passport-holders only. Bets at most tables start at Rs500. Despite bearing an identical name, the casino has no relationship with the casinos in Las Vegas.
The only Colombo beach where you'd consider swimming is in Mt Lavinia, a somewhat faded resort area 11km south of Fort - and even that's borderline, with a severe undertow at times and some foul waterways issuing into the ocean just to the north.
Immediately inland from Fort, the bustling bazaar of Pettah is one of the oldest districts in Colombo and one of the most ethnically mixed places in the country. You name it, and a boutique (street stall) will be selling it in Pettah. Each thoroughfare has its own speciality; 5th Cross St (and Gabo's Lane) specialise in Ayurvedic medicines.

Gid Tanner
Gid Tanner
The Skillet Lickers were one of the most important and influential string bands of the '20s and '30s. Led by fiddler Gid Tanner, the band combined old-timey country music with a wacky sense of humor and showmanship that made the group one of the most popular country bands in America. The original lineup of the band featured the dexterous and stunning interplay of Tanner, guitarist Riley Puckett, fiddler Clayton McMichen, and banjoist Fate Norris. From 1926 to 1931, the Skillet Lickers were the most popular country band in the country. Following the original band's dissolution, Puckett and latter-day fiddler Bert Layne led various bands called the Skillet Lickers, but the group wasn't relaunched until 1934, when Tanner formed a new lineup that recorded one final session that yielded their biggest hit, "Down Yonder."

Gwinnett man sentenced in $1.7M tax fraud
- Carla Caldwell, Morning Call Editor
Donus R. Sroufe, of Suwanee, has been sentenced for lying on his tax return and making a false claim for a $1.7 million tax refund, reports the Gwinnett Daily Post.
Sroufe was sentenced Wednesday to serve more than four years in prison, three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $75,000 fine.
U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said the false claim was detected by the Internal Revenue Service before money was paid.
Federal authorities said that in March 2009, Sroufe, 55, claimed the refund after he falsely said he received $2.5 million from a U.S. Treasury bond, and that he paid more than $2.6 million in federal taxes. But the bond was fake and Sroufe didn't pay any income taxes for 2008, the Gwinnett paper reported.

Very good food at fair prices (with the exception of the pappadams - $9 for 4? Come on!). Helpful and pleasant service. A good find.
Consistently excellent service and food. Butter chicken, saag paneer, chicken saag and any of the naan versions have been my favourites. Friendly service even when they are flat out.
Three guests had never experienced Indian food, and loved it. Lovely food, great atmosphere and decor. In my opinion, it was the nicest naan I've ever tasted.
the best indian food restaurant in coffs harbour,the food is so delicious and the environment is nice too. it located in Jetty which is closed to the beach. Outside dinning seating is quite big and staffs are very friendly. Food is the Best! Definitely Going Again! Yum yum!
Indian restaurants. They are everywhere nowadays, and with so many to choose from it really is a case of pot luck as to whether you will stumble on a winner or be left with a case of 'Delhi Belly'.

We are not from Coffs Harbour, but we have eaten Indian from several different places (including Uk and Europe) and this is one the best we've ever had. The flavour was amazing! North Indian food just can't be beaten. It doesn't seem to be quite as heavy as regular Indian and it is full of flavour. We had the chicken... More
I don't often eat Indian food, but this was probably the best I've had! We didn't have a reservation, but thankfully got a table outside (which was great for people watching).

The telecom industry has always had a cozier relationship with government, dating back to its days as a regulated monopoly called Ma Bell. It's used to cooperating with requests from officials, since it used to be required to as a condition of its privileged status, and still needs to work with agencies like the Federal Communications Commission for access to public airwaves. That's why public interest advocates tend to complain about regulatory capture: There's a well-oiled revolving door between the big telecom companies and senior government positions (conveniently, Verizon's chief security officer used to work for the FBI). By contrast, the Internet is a less regulated realm—partly because it's newer—and zealously guards its freedom. Internet companies tend to exchange staff with groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Center for Democracy and Technology, instead of regulatory agencies and the security state.
Joshua Foust offered a few quick thoughts on why public outrage shouldn't be directed at the Obama administration, and why nothing will actually change now that the public knows about the information collection:
All of the opprobrium you should feel at the government's ridiculously broad surveillance powers needs to be directed at CONGRESS, which keeps approving them while voting they stay secret.
No one will respond to this by voting out their representatives or Senators during the next election because, despite the temporary outcry, Americans (including the Congressmen and Senators who tried to add amendments) don't care about this very much.
None of you will stop voluntarily giving Verizon (or AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) your personal information out of the fear that they might be legally compelled to hand it over to an intelligence agency through a legal process. Because, at the end of the day, you really don't care about this very much either. At least, you don't care enough to go out of your way to change it.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air explored the possible administration reactions to the Guardian report, concluding that it will most certainly look into the source of the information:
Of course there will be a leak investigation. After all, there was a leak, no? Leak investigations in and of themselves aren't all that controversial — it's the method of investigation that has been the scandal. [Pete] Williams reports that Eric Holder told him that he's not interested in prosecuting reporters as leakers, which is the opposite of what the Holder-approved warrant on James Rosen claimed in three different federal courts, which named him as a co-conspirator in espionage in order to gain unlimited access to his e-mail and other communications records. On the AP case, the DoJ bypassed the federal regulations covering media records seizures, which is why someone on the Morning Joe set sardonically comments that this isn't likely to make reporters feel any better.
Will the DoJ name Glenn Greenwald a spy in their warrant when they get around to investigating the leak? After all, the leak put counter-terrorism strategies into the open, which is the core of the "aiding the enemy" construct in the Bradley Manning trial, and the nature of the material is much more sensitive than Rosen sought in the Kim case. Stay tuned, and maybe Glenn should start thinking about covert communication strategies, too.

Students flock to White House on news of bin Laden death
Posted by: Sam Buckley in News, Vox Populi, tags: Barack Obama, bin Laden, DC Students, White HouseAs Barack Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of US forces in Pakistan, crowds of students from D.C. universities thronged in front of the White House in a spontaneous rally.
As news of bin Laden's death reached campus, crowds of Georgetown students grabbed taxis, rode bicycles or simply sprinted down M street in order to reach the White House. A crowd of several thousand people eventually massed, pressing up against the White House fence and pushing into Lafayette square. Members of the crowd waved American flags and chanted an energetic series of slogans: "U-S-A," "Obama got Osama," "yes we did," and "Hoya Saxa" were shouted by eager students in the crowd.

Ice Age Art: Arrival of the Modern Mind, British Museum | Visual arts reviews, news & interviews
Ice Age Art: Arrival of the Modern Mind, British Museum
Unmissable collection of fragments finds art at the heart of prehistoric life
Prehistory – human life before written language - enters art's mainstream with this seminal and eye-opening exhibition. This one-off show, amplified by excellent labelling and atmospheric lighting, is enormously ambitious: the largest anthology of portable prehistoric European art there has ever been, unprecedented in its scope with artefacts from museums in Russia, Germany, France, and the Czech Republic, homes to the greatest of the sites. (Although 40,000 years ago Britain was attached by land to the rest of Europe, the place was evidently too cold for human migration and survival.)
On show are the oldest known representations of animals and people, free-standing sculptures - some tiny, others easily held in the hand, a few slightly more substantial; engravings on stone, carvings, some in swirling patterns, to decorate tools and weapons, and flutes made from bird bones and ivory.
The Ice Age cave paintings of France and Spain are now shut to tourists, and their substantial sculptures and friezes cannot be moved, so this is probably the best chance actually to see some of the most important, significant and beautiful examples of the oldest European art. What is on view has travelled through time but now hardly ever travels on loan: ancient bone, mammoth ivory, wood, clay is immensely brittle and therefore immensely fragile. (Pictured right: The oldest puppet or doll, made of mammoth ivory. On loan from Moravian Museum, Anthropos Institute.)
The thesis of this examination of art of the ice age in Europe – an awesome 20,000 to 40,000 years ago – is that it was human minds physiologically like ours today which both observed and conceptualised the world around them, captured the look of living creatures and by artistic exaggeration and stylisation, created an emotional impact.
Art is also evidence, and it is the material culture that remains
This is an exhibition that decisively indicates the centrality of art to human life. We know very little about the beliefs and social structures of these early human groups, who had migrated to Europe out of Africa. We have their burial sites, their skeletons, and we know something of their environment: the vast icy plains, the shelters in caves and under cliffs and overhangs. But art is also evidence, and it is the material culture that remains. And these small groups of hunter gatherers must have valued it. Contemporary scholars have, by imitating the techniques involved and recreating the tools, estimated the large number of hours involved in the creation of individual objects. The makers, they conclude, must have been supported by their peers, their labour seen as essential, not superfluous.
We mostly do not know for whom – shamans, say, or tribal leaders – or what rituals the objects under scrutiny were used for; but even a remnant of a hunting weapon, utilitarian as it was, could be decorated. So the anthology is in part a three-dimensional detective story with no definitive answers.
Scholars can only speculate about the tantalising and amazing array of fat female torsos, small in size, monumental in effect. How enormous these mothers are, how brilliantly modelled, even imagined: it is difficult to imagine any inhabitants of the Ice Age having in reality an ounce of superfluous flesh. But the carved women – some of them pregnant - have vast pendulous breasts, great bellies, and huge backsides: were they fertility symbols, talismans, homages, made for good fortune by women for women, or by men? The bodies are powerful, imposing, even overwhelming.(Pictured left, the oldest ceramic figure in the world: modelled figure of a mature woman from Dolni Vestonice. On loan from Moravske Zemske Museum. Brno)
The oldest holding in the British Museum is The Swimming Reindeer, discovered in France in the 1860s, some 13,000 years old and showing a male and female in the posture adopted by the animals when swimming, and carved from a mammoth tusk with a full understanding of its shape and properties. Each object, be it a flying bird, leaping lion, mating deer, bison, mammoth, wild horse – conveys deep respect for these creatures and a feeling for the way they moved. Human survival depended on them.
The compound impact of these fragments is curiously affecting. The point is brilliantly made that although we can have hardly any glimpse of the reality of these far-off lives, there is a continuum to human concerns: how humans navigated their world, and how thousands of years ago modern man began to express that in art.
So-called primitive art from prehistoric to tribal had been seized on by the avant garde of the early 20th century. So the British Museum amplifies Ice Age Art with a Mondrian drawing of trees, a Henry Moore sculpture, a photograph of Picasso in his studio with his collection, and Matisse drawings. The idea that the objects of prehistory have much to show us has been gestating for quite a while, and here reaches an apotheosis in this unmissable display.

Action in front of Parliament under Supervision of "Men in Black"
Salome Achba
The member NGOs of Tbilisi Human Rights House and the "mobilized citizens" held a theatrical action dedicated to the media freedom on May 3 in front of the Parliament.
Flash mob was held in front of the Parliament on May 3. The citizens came to the Parliament from different directions and sat down on the stairs. They held the newspapers upside down. In this way, they wanted to express their protest against the censorship, self-censorship and other restrictions in Georgian media.
"Today the world press day is celebrated around the world. Tbilisi Human Rights House expresses its position towards the state of Georgian media this way. Georgian media is in such a state right now that it does not matter how you hold the newspaper," – states the organizer of the action, the coordinator of Tbilisi Human Rights House Nino Ghvedashvili.
"We expressed our position in the form of silent action. We came to the legislative body, held the newspapers and showed that the media freedom and the freedom of opinion are restricted in Georgia," – stated the representative of Article 42 of Constitution Ani Tvaradze.
People showed interest in the unusual action held in front of the Parliament. Some people decided to join the flash mob. The action had started only for several seconds when three men dressed in black with the black sunglasses approached the participants. According to their statements, they were guards of the external perimeter of the Parliament building. However, they did not present any documents and were not wearing relevant uniforms. With the displeased attitude, they asked for explanations; what was the action, who the organizers were and what was the goal of gathering. At the remark of the representative of Human Rights Center – why they were not wearing the uniform, they stated that the regulations do not necessitate them to wear uniforms. Then they stood besides and supervised the action.
Apart from the flash mob, the discussion was held regarding the world press day at 18:00 pm in Tbilisi Human Rights House.
The discussion concerned the risks and dangers the journalists work in to provide correct, timely and objective information. Salome Jashi, documentary movie director moderated the discussion. The main speakers were the operator of Reuters Davit Chkhikvishvili, photo journalist Leli Blagonrarova and the editor of IWPR Giorgi Kupatadze. The students, the representatives of NGOs and other interested individuals attended the discussion.

Reuters | DURBAN - World number six Louis Oosthuizen fired a six-under-par 66 to overhaul third-round leader Scott Jamieson and clinch the Volvo Golf Champions by one shot on Sunday, a victory that will move him to fourth in the rankings. Jamieson had held a five-stroke advantage after 54 holes but seven birdies from the 2010 British Open champion Oosthuizen gave him a sixth European Tour win on 16-under 272 ahead of Briton Jamieson (72), who nearly holed a chip at the 18th to force a playoff. Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee (68) sealed third place a shot further back while triple major winner Padraig Harrington (68) finished fourth on 12-under. Oosthuizen, who yesterday surrendered the lead as he struggled to a 74, birdied two of the first three holes to put the pressure on Jamieson. Further birdies at the sixth and eighth holes rounded off an outward nine of 32 and he had reduced the deficit to one by the turn. Birdies at the 10th and 11th holes propelled him into the lead, and despite bogeying the par-four 16th after finding the greenside bunker, Oosthuizen's two-putt pars at the 17th and 18th holes were enough to clinch victory. "I played the complete opposite of what I did yesterday," the 30-year-old, who will move to a career-high fourth place in the rankings released on Monday, told reporters. "Yesterday I felt really uncomfortable - my swing felt long and unstable. This morning I worked on a few things on the range and put my head down. I knew if I could just put a score up there, or just get close to Scott, that I had a good chance." Oosthuizen, who has now recorded a win in the last three seasons in his native South Africa, said his ambition was to climb even higher in the rankings although world number one Rory McIlroy was a little far off. "Top spot is a tough one. I think Rory (McIlroy) is far ahead, so if I can somehow get myself to number two then I can work on trying to get to number one," he said. DIFFERENT MINDSET Scot Jamieson, who won his maiden European Tour title at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship in Durban five weeks ago, nearly forced a playoff when his eagle chip at the short par-four 18th finished inches from the cup. "I almost had a grand-stand finish at the end there," the world number 100 told Reuters after a frustrating day where he managed just three birdies, a double-bogey on the front nine proving costly. "I just couldn't make any birdies after doubling the fifth. That was just a bit of a kick in the teeth. I had a ton of chances and just couldn't take them." Following his playoff triumph in December at the rain-shortened 36-hole event, Jamieson said he found it more difficult this time around with a significant advantage going into the final round. "It's a completely different mindset, but you try and make it as similar as possible. But it's a lot easier to get yourself up for it when you're trying to chase somebody," said the 29-year-old. "If you have a healthy advantage it's difficult to raise yourself to think that you need to make birdie - because you don't necessarily do," added the European Tour Race to Dubai money leader before paying tribute to Oosthuizen. "Louis is a great player, and a major champion, so there's no shame in losing to him. I gave it my all - it just wasn't to be today." Four-times major winner Ernie Els finished with a two-under 70 to end on seven-under 281, a shot ahead of fellow South African and twice U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen (70) who was making his comeback after a five-month injury layoff.

We like the range but it was a little complicated to learn how to use it. We had trouble with setting temperature and timer, but we have learned to do that and are liking the range alot.
Canajoharie, NY
Not what I thought I had ordered, dents in right side, element exposed in oven, I expected it to be enclosed. Very small print on control panel, hard to see what button is for,
Broomall, PA
Honestly to get a smooth top self cleaning range with a dual sized burner for under $500 (on a great sale) I really cant complain. The stovetop heats up well and stays even temperature. The oven is OK although we haven't used much as we also got a OTC convention microwave that has seen the brunt of the oven usage. The biggest complaint is the inability to clean the stovetop...everything burns to it and stick...the cream cleaner is useless on them. Have found that using pure white vinegar helps but the top just wont stay clean and streaks too. So if you're not married to a Type A clean freak, this is a decent stove for the cost.
From the positive reviews on this stove, I had high expectation for this less expensive model. I was disappointed when one of the the drawer glides broke when the drawer was first installed. Sears was very pleasant and quick to replace the part. When we installed the new glide, a small part of it broke off. We also noticed that the glide on the other side has the same problem. The drawer works well, though it does sit low below the oven leaving a gap. This stove is in a summer home, so I may order two new gaskets next year when we return. Also the metal on the drawer is light weight compared to my old stove. The stove worked well, though I only used it for about two weeks.
Lafayette, LA
We've been using this Whirlpool range for about 2 months now with no problems. It installed easily...electrical connections were straight forward. The oven is more than adequate, with very even baking and fast preheating. The burners are convenient, particularly the fast heat, double sized element. The glass top cleans easily as well as the white front and control panel. The controls are clearly labeled and easy to adjust. The bottom drawer works smoothly and stores several pans with no problem. This electric range was a good deal with a lot of features and solid performance.
Concord, NH
This stove is very nice..Black is sexy!!...Radiant elements heat up quickly on high and maintain good heating at lower temperatures...Accubake feature is wonderful...baked goods cook perfectly..no more burnt cookies or other items as with my older stove!!!...haven't tried the self cleaning feature yet as have only owned it about a month..stove top cleans well with hot soapy water and stove top cleaning solution....the only negative is the drawer at the bottom is a little flimsy and doesn't have a high back to hold in a lot of pans etc..but all in all it was a great buy and I love the stove!!!

I've only had this for about a week. The bottom drawer is very rinky ****. the stove top seems fine. The controls are a little more complicated than my previous lcd stove. The oven seems to work fine.

This is similar to what I have. Resistor values are slightly different and I use 1K trim-pot to adjust the current.

Give it an electrolytic locally from where it receives its B+ to ground. See if that will change something. Its a cascode and if it upsets the reg in very high frequencies there will be not much we can do, it will be one or the other. Try 1k R2,R3 also. With R1 120R it pulls circa 30mA. Is the reg having spare?

Salas..what sort of harm it will do if I continue using passives instead of other plate loads? Will this residual DC cause problem to my other equipment in a long run? I like the sound using passive as the plate load and wish to continue if there is nothing much of a concern. Anyway, what do you recommend for plate load with SSHV?

If you like it best (it is better) try smaller/bigger coupling capacitor and 1Meg resistor from its output to gnd. Maybe you will find a phase turn more compatible. If the next in chain has capacitor input, DC will not pass. Still, you did not tell me, what is the set current in the Reg CCS? Should be 55mA to feed such an anode CCS to start with.

Its simple. If you use a 30mA anode CCS on your audio circuit, the local reg's CCS has to be set higher, so to provide for the audio circuit's consumption plus 20-25mA minimum for its own reg use. So check the voltage drop on your reg's CSS setting resistor, divide it by its value, and know first of all that there is enough current. We should know before going further.

I don't get the first schematic with a CCS feeding an expensive choke.
If I were to run the #26 ~3mA is a cascade 10m45s OK at this low current ? (I understand some of these mofset current limiters have toruble with low current.) |

Here is the concept I have been kicking around. It seems the advancements in SS powersupplies by Slas and Coleman may make it possible (ie hum free with 32 ohm 98 spl 1mV headphones.) The pream should be strong with the 600 ohm tap. The headphone out of a preamp is usually an afterthought and a huge compromise, not the case here. Headphone amps aren't easy to get right but magic happens with a good design and quality headphones. Anyway I am considering building this, any thoughts/criticisms appreciated.

Its all a matter of testing together. A couple of people have reported on using the SSHV on small tube headphone amps with OPTs successfully. But its not universal. There is 85 degrees of phase margin. If violated, music stops, lights go down. If not, party time. Just do a real test, if it won't work, plan B is a Maida. Tone worsens against an SSHV, still quiet though. You can't do more. ''Slas & Coleman'' sounds cool, like a banking firm from Oliver Stone's Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps, by the way.

AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A jury has found Buddy Robinson guilty in the murder of Christiana Fesmire.
After being given the case at 1pm the jury return the verdict just after 2pm. The trial was heard in Androscoggin Superior Court. Opening arguments in the case began on November 6, 2012.
Buddy Robinson, was accused of killing 22 year old Christiana Fesmire and dumping her body in the woods in July of 2011.
During the opening arguments, Assistant Attorney General Andrew Benson told jurors that the state would prove that Buddy Robinson killed Fesmire in the ground floor apartment of 36 Highland Avenue in Lewiston in the early morning hours of July 1st by beating her, smashing her head in to the side of a bath tub and then submerging her head under water until she died.
Robinson was accused of then stuffed her body into the back of an SUV and later dumped her body in a swampy wooded area. Her body has still not yet been found.
Benson said that Buddy Robinson lived in the second floor apartment with his twin sister, Brandi, Brandi's eight year old son, and her boyfriend. Benson said during the trial that Brandi Robinson ran an escort service out of the home, and employed Fesmire as one of her girls.
Defense attorney, Edward 'Ted' Dilworth, had claimed at the start of the trial, that Buddy Robinson did not kill Christiana Fesmire. He claimed the state did not have one "physical or direct piece of evidence" that proves Buddy Robinson committed the murder.

Feed Your Face: Foods That Fight Skin Cancer
Fight skin cancer from the inside out. Here's what you should be eating to protect yourself from the sun's harmful UV rays.
By Dr. Jessica Wu
Research shows that 40 to 50 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with either basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer at some point in their lives. The good news is that you can help prevent new and recurrent skin cancers by choosing your food carefully (in addition, of course, to using sunscreen and having your skin checked regularly). If you have noticeable sun damage or a history of severe sunburns, a family history of skin cancer, or a previous skin cancer diagnosis, you'll want to follow these tips on what — and what not — to eat:
Eat less fat. A high-fat diet — particularly one high in fatty meat, fried foods, and fried take-out food — has been linked to a greater risk of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, especially if you've had skin cancer before. In addition, a low-fat diet (in which less than 20 percent of your total calories come from fat) has been shown to reduce the incidence of precancerous actinic keratoses and skin cancers in those with a previous history of skin cancer.
Eat more fish. Fish oils can boost your skin's natural immune defenses against skin cancer. For example, one serving of oily fish every five days has been shown to reduce the incidence of new precancerous growths by 28 percent.
Try Heliocare. Extracted from the South American fern Polypodium leucotomos, this oral supplement (which you can find at drugstores) has been shown to protect the skin from UV rays that sneak past sunscreen.
For more advice on how to prevent and fight sun damage and skin cancer with food, check out Chapter 6 of Feed Your Face.
I use drawer organizers and cutlery trays not just in my kitchen but in my bathroom as well. They help me find the exact makeup brush, pencil, or tube of cream without wasting time digging through piles of cosmetics. I pick up trays in various sizes at the Container Store.
Don't Be Embarrassed...
Ask Dr. Jessica Wu your most personal skin questions — from bikini rash to wrinkles, acne to psoriasis. Whatever the bump, rash, or scar, Dr. Wu can provide professional, frank, helpful advice.

Rustic Farmhouse in Tuscan Hills
You sent a message to this manager.
- Minimum stay:Contact manager
- Internet:Yes
- Pets considered:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Anghiari house description
Attractive restored farmhouse in Casa Colonica style, built on several levels, on a prominent hill overlooking rustic valley. Features date back to the 14th century; renovated kitchen on lowest level. Terraced landscape with olive and fig trees and grapevine over patio. Private pool with splendid views of valley. Exposed wood beams give the interior a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The upper ground floor enters into a large sitting room with fireplace. To one side is a hallway to a bedroom and beyond to a second small sitting room, doors to garden, and a second small kitchen with refrigerator, stove and sink; and stairs up to two more bedrooms and a full bathroom. Straight ahead, steps lead down to two bedrooms and a full bathroom; and to a stairway down to the lower ground floor with a laundry room, shower/water closet and steps down to the main kitchen and a dining/living room with original manger feature and French windows to the patio (there are steps between rooms and different levels which could make this difficult for very small children or the elderly).
It is secluded, reached by a private road through farm fields and woods, but only two kilometers away from shops in Le Ville. Monterchi, where one can see Piero della Francesca's 'The Madonna del Parto,' is only seven kilometers further. The charming walled cities of Sansepolcro and Città di Castello, with full facilities and numerous restaurants, are only ten to fifteen minutes away.
The house is also centrally located for numerous daytrips. Arezzo, with its wealth of museums, galleries and churches, the largest antique market in the country, as well as a fine array of narrow streets full of fascinating shops, is only twenty minutes to the west. Cortona, with magnificent views from its hilltop ramparts extending for miles across the Tuscan countryside, is a half hour to the southwest. Further west are Siena and the Chianti area. To the northwest lies Florence, reachable by car or by train from Arezzo. A short distance to the north is Caprese Michelangelo (birthplace of the world's most renowned artist). To the east one can quickly be in Perugia or Assisi, with its fantastic cathedral, commanding fortress walls and the nearby refuge of St. Francis. Further to the east lies Gubbio with Roman amphitheater ruins and a cable car from the medieval city center to the top of the mountain dominating the surrounding countryside.

There are 4 possible endings to this one. I worked on this game during a really important time of my life and I suspect I'll always remember it when looking back. Hope you guys dig it, I know it's not quite the immense jest the second one was, this one for the most part is a lot more serious. But I hope there are enough surprises to entertain you all. Stay cool!
Edit -- Thanks for the kinds words everyone, thanks for fixing my medals up Newgrounds! You rock. ^_^
Also, yes, is was a total accident that Shane is still alive in Gambling Fever, I totally forgot he died. There are so many branches, it's really easy to get confused. Just try to enjoy it regardless. =P
Love it
The music, dialogue and story were all very good, I especially liked having 4 storylines to choose from. My only problem was there didn't seem to be any way to complete: A man in wilderness (Anna died) because each option ended up with you dying, unless that was how it was supposed to end
nice but
can you have a different kind of music i know we can turn it off but put something cool
This music IS cool.
God yes!
I'm a huge fan of these games ever since the 1st one ,the 2nd one was quietly unexpected for me , but a 3rd one? Hell. Fucking. Yes.
Well , this game has less jokes onto it , i mean ,that's not a bad thing , but it did.
I like how you even put a whole "story" into a joke , and you always give us a stupid option to do. I loved the one with "Whoah! Twinkies!"
This one's longer than the 1st one, but shorter than the 2nd one , or probably it only SEEMS longer because the 2nd one was a whole story handled by decisions , while this one's 4 different stories to continnue from.
Although , i do have a complain , not about the game itself but about , well , the "story"
I mean , don't get me wrong , the story is amazing in every single ending , and never lets me unsatisfied (Witch means : Never ends abruptly) but the problem i have is that in this game zombies barely appear.
I mean, in the 1st one , pure zombies.
In the 2nd one , 65% zombies , 35% humans.
In this one , it seems as if it's 80% humans , and 20% zombies.
Zombies in this game only appeared to end a few endings , but the humans here were the main problem.
Although i gotta admit , that's not bad , it's nice to have a change , and it's as if the whole world would be going insane because of the zombie apocalypse (Something easy to understand)
The music is also way better in this one , it wasn't annoying for a single second , and it really fits with the game.
The graphics are slightly improoved , you may think they're the same , but if you check the 2nd one , everything was out of ''random lines'' as if it would be a concept art , in here , some things are actually fully textured
So , in conclusion ,nearly perfect game , i hope you do a Sagittarian 4. And hope to see more of your work!
P.S It's hard to believe it didn't win Daily 1st. It truly deserved it IMO.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback man. ^_^
Hard Work Well Shown
Man this was really enjoyable and funny as hell shooting up rednecks and hillbillies. I'm only on the second story and I already love it.
You've show that with well placed dialogue, plot, and story you can truly make a great game, job well done.
Thank you sir!
I do like this series
The music is even better this time around.
I spent a lot of time picking good music, and all of the musicians were super cool, be sure to scope them out. :D There are links to their NG accounts under the music tab on the main menu.

Lakierski Materialski...
Finally decided to customize my PSP, so heres a screenie -
It's my first theme, and i wont be changing it for a while. I ish I could change my icons to the same aqua colour, but im on 3.10 OE, and i love PAL games.
Hmm. Has anyone else experienced the disabling of a gameboot, when they have a custom XMB wave like these, and a wallpaper? On mine, when I have them both, my gameboot does not load. When I load a game, the background just shows, covering up the gameboot. So it's either keep the originals + background, the hacked XMB waves and the background with no gameboot, or the hacked XMB waves and the gameboot, with no background.
I wish I could get all three, though. :X
Lakierski Materialski...
i hate gameboots... period... so this works for me!
How do you make the xmb theme backround black???
Go into recovery mode (Turn off PSP, hold Right Shoulder button while you turn it back on).
Go to 'Advanced'
Enable Flash0.
Access it from the removable disc drive in My Computer
Go to VSH>Resource
Copy and Paste the "01-12.bmp" file to somewhere else in your computer in case it screws up.
Open the file and make the picture black. Don't change anything, just make it completely black.
Save it.
It will now be a black theme in the Theme menu on your PSP. I use it, it's awesome.
OKAY IT WORKED THNXZ but what about when i want to go back to normal colors
that would be why you made the backup.. just copy the backup over and it should work, also I believe someone upped the original here:
do these work in 3.10 OE-A (not A2 i heard of a2 glitches)
-= Double Post =-
and also does that black image thing make ALL the bgs black or just the white one?

Busy weekend on court for Duke's Tahir at Men's Futures in Mt. Lebanon
By Chris Adamski
Published: Friday, July 5, 2013, 8:45 p.m.
Some players from top college tennis programs prefer to take the summer off and get away from the game a little.
Not Jason Tahir.
"He plays a bunch of these tournaments," said Tahir's teammate at Duke, Fox Chapel native Chris Mengel. "I kind of take it easy in the summer; he loves playing. He grinds hard."
The PNC Men's Futures of Pittsburgh at Mt. Lebanon Tennis Center represents the fourth consecutive week Tahir has played in an International Tennis Federation Men's Futures event.
"I get sort of antsy if I haven't played too many matches," Tahir said.
Good thing. Tahir is playing well enough that he isn't suffering from a lack of matches this weekend. He hopes he'll have a busy championship Sunday.
Tahir, a native of upstate New York, advanced to the semifinals with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win against Connor Smith on Friday. Tahir also advanced to the final of the doubles tournament when he and Mengel defeated Hunter Callahan and Devin McCarthy, 6-4, 3-6, 10-7 (in lieu of a third set, doubles teams play a 10-point tiebreaker).
Tahir faces Jeremy Efferding on Saturday; the winner meets the winner of Saturday's Michael Shabaz-Shane Vinsant semifinal in the championship match Sunday.
Tahir and Mengel will play Marcos Giron and Smith in the doubles final Sunday.
"It would be awesome to be in the singles and doubles final on Sunday," Tahir said. "That'd be really cool."
This is the second consecutive year Tahir has performed well at the USTA Pro Circuit event. Last year, he won his first Futures tour doubles title, teaming with Duke teammate Michael Redlicki. He also reached the quarterfinals in the singles draw.
He's already one-upped his singles performance this year — and he has a chance to again win doubles with a college teammate. Tahir and Mengel, a Shady Side Academy graduate, are roommates at Duke, and Tahir is staying with Mengel and his family this week. The two are friends, but they hadn't played doubles together until this week.
"Chris had to change his returning side, so he's probably not returning as well as he normally would. But we've just toughed out a couple matches and are playing well," Tahir said. "And here we are, one match away from winning it."
Tahir is also one match away from his first singles championship match on the Futures tour, generally considered the third tier of professional tennis. Tahir beat Efferding last week at the Futures tournament in Rochester.
Efferding came back to beat Keith-Patrick Crowley, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5. The other two semifinals also went three sets — Shabaz beat McCarthy, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), and Vinsant defeated Giron, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
The National Collegiate Clay Court Championships West Penn Amateur tournament going on simultaneously wrapped up Friday. A day after losing in the women's doubles final, Mt. Lebanon's Callie Frey was runner-up in singles, too, falling to the University of Florida's Alexandra Cercone.
Jeremy Dubin of Southampton, N.Y., won the men's tournament final against Australia's Luke Adamus.

I don't know if you guys want to see stuff like this, but I did an illustration for a friend's website/brand image... It's a different kind of style from concept art, but I definitely enjoy experimenting with all kinds of visuals. Let me know if you want me to not upload stuff like this.
Did some pencil sketches of vehicles... more to come (probably)
Hey all, I was inspired by Sparth to do a rendo... But I'm working on this piece and environments are a struggle for me. Looking for some advice before I post a final? I just don't know... my enviro scale is often way off, and I don't feel like I'm getting the kind of focal point that I want. I keep pushing pixels around to no avail...
Very nice sketchbook man! that last landscape is really awesome keep posting!

For those out there who might check this, I have a question. Tigermilk suggested that I do master studies, and I think that's also a good idea. However, I'm not entirely sure which masters people might recommend? I know the four renaissance masters, rembrandt, degas, etc, but can people recommend other masters? Or specific pieces?
Also, for those in art school... are masters studies common practice?
Thanks in advance...

I tried to go for a tamer costume design with an individual of a thicker stature, hopefully using the body proportions to showcase the strength of the character. C&C welcome.

So I think that I should do more concept exploration before painting if I have the time. This set is of wimpy/nerdy interpretations of the character...
I love your style, man! your sketches are incredibly inspiring. I really really like your clean and controlled digital style. very good stuff!
Orion I recall you idw pieces and them really being cool. You clearly got some real nice paintings and drawings happening in here also. Hehe...that chow piece looks extremely fun and i really like the characters you got sketched out on there so far. Nice sb man!
xzacto - Thanks!
Trashy - Thanks so much! Ah yes, those IDOW illos were quite old. Maybe I should put those up here? Or, maybe I need to draw more and put up new stuff!
For personal-ish... had to be a bit more realistic with this one so, no far out spaceship futuristic-ness...
Terrific work!
For IDW. Weird that IDW this week was also not-far-out-spaceship-futuristic-ness.
Awesome work man, really awesome, specially the hard surface ones. And I want to ask what are the techniques you use to draw stuff like that space ship above. You use Photoshop? Do you work with shapes or what?
Thank you
Two thumbs up on your sketchbook! I really like your CHOW pieces. Especially Red Sonja, very nice! The sketch you did for your friend... is that from Getbackers? I forget his name... haha anyway, great drawings! Looking forward to seeing more.
Your pencil work ist awesome!
As well as your digital work!
Your piece for EOW is great, although I liked the first version with the higher contrast of the temple better.
Will keep an eye on your sketchbook
Sorry for my absence... I got totally tied up with the day-job for the past... however long. As I've done for the past few years... like someone trying to diet with every turn of the new year... I'm going to try to keep up with the entertainment design drawings.
To your questions that you asked 9 months ago:
xissburg - Photoshop only. I use paths when I want something super clean, man-made machinery-ish. I rough out a sketch, then path-work key areas of color, then airbrush the highlights and shadows. After that, I'll add the details and fine pencil-lines.
Geeshin - Thanks! And yep! Way to catch the GetBackers sketch. Few people know about that series.
Sarbro - Thanks!
My most recent CHOW... but I posted too late. I'm dumb.
Good stuff. I think the last two pieces you've done are showing improvement. The last Chow is looking good and I really like that aircraft you did, looks great.
Great pencils, man. The environment piece looks good too, but the temple seems too light. Not too sure, tho. Anyways, nice work.
those IDW entries rock! very nice rendering skills youve got there
