Whitman thinks that her experience in private business will make her a good governor
I have been watching and listening to the Meg Whitman for Governor ads, and they all seem to have the same basic message, one we've heard many times before from rich former executives wanting to get into politics. Whitman thinks that her experience in private business will make her a good governor, that she can run the state the same way she ran eBay.
Her policy proposals are horrible (just check out what she wants to do to the schools and how she plans to cut the state workforce by 40,000 people, a brilliant move in a recession). But beyond that, there's a serious disconnect here.
See, California isn't a business. And private-sector training, private-sector models, and private-sector management don't translate very well.
At eBay, Whitman's goal was to make money for shareholders. The idea was to expand markets, grow market share, increase revenue, and keep expenses low enough that at the end of the year, there's a nice profit left over. Not to go all Marxist or anything, but you had to pay every employee a bit less than actual value of their work; that's how investors make money.
California is — at best — a nonprofit, and even that model doesn't directly apply. Forget the political skills it takes to work with the Legislature and thousands of interest groups and stakeholders. Just consider the basic economics.
The state doesn't exist to make money, but to provide public services. Fiscal prudence may be necessary to keep things afloat, but it's not the point. As the late, great David Brower used to say, any environmental group that isn't busting its budget, isn't doing enough work. Revenue doesn't exist to pay dividends, or even big salaries. In a well-run state, just about every dollar that comes in gets spent. And many of the outcomes — the results that CEOs are always looking for — can't be easily quantified, certainly not in the short term. (Spend an extra $20 billion on public education and you'll definitely get better schools — but you might not get better test scores, certainly not for the first few years.)
There's a reason that CEOs don't tend to do well in politics. It's a different game.

Same as the Paterson in function but wall mounted and 12 inches in diameter. I favour the Gralab timer. Very easy to use with one hand and very visible in the darkroom. The only downside, for me, was that I had to install an extra power point over the sink.

Optec - Pyxis 3-" I.D. Camera Field Rotator.
The Pyxis 3-inch has a full 3 inches of clear aperture and is designed to hold large instrument packages without flexure or wobble. A 6-inch bronze worm gear and stainless worm rotate the center tube with a resolution of 0.01875 degree per step from the stepper motor. The operating software is very similar to the smaller Pyxis so that existing third party software is compatible. De-rotation of the field for long exposure images with alt-azimuth mounted telescope and rotation of the guide chip for SBIG camera to a suitable bright guide star are the two primary uses of this instrument. Power requirements and other operating conditions are similar to the 2-inch Pyxis model.
This model is large and heavy and is intended for larger telescopes on observatory caliber mountings. The 2.4-inch thickness warrants telescopes that can accommodate this increase in the back-focus distance. It uses the same telescope mounts and camera side adapters as the TCF-S3 - Optec's new 3-inch temperature compensating focuser. Any telescope mount or camera side adapter has to be ordered separately.
Like the 2-inch Pyxis model, the unit can only be controlled by a PC computer running the Optec PYXIS.exe control software or third party compatible software. Manual control is not possible. A flat wire serial cable is available for connection to a standard RS-232 interface COM port at 19.2K baud. Standard lengths and custom lengths up to 100 feet are possible. Cables and COM port adapters need to be ordered separately. A 15 VDC regulated power supply is included with a right angle 2.5 mm power jack. Stepping up to 15 volts DC provides about 20% more torque without sacrificing speed.

If they produce a handheld, it needs to do everything the PSP does, but better. None of this "you need a MCE pc" crap. They need to make it play every damn format of audio and video
somewhat agree, not everyformat, but at least WMA audio and video, MP3, and mp4 h.242? sorry still new with that number. Would like to say it could be called the "MicroBox". I want to see it use standard DVD/CD drive, with MP3 CD/DVD support, Flash Memory upgrade slot, WIFI, Basicaly a PocketPC on steroids. xbox 360 remote control function, VOIP and text messaging would rock as well. Xbox 1 backwards compatibility? ok I know im asking for the world, but with cost of that older technology falling faster than the US. Dollar, I see it happening.

If MS were to make something like this and it did play orig. xbox games you would have to repurchase them so the console could be small or it would be huge to accommodate a full size CD/DVD.
Really the winner here is GP2X, Open source, emulators out the ass, flushable firm ware, plays just about any music/codec you could ask for, and it is most certainly a PSP Killer. I don't get all the hype over that horribly made system, shit-tastic UMD's, and re-encoding videos to make them work... HAHAHA, sounds like Sony fucked all you guys just like usual.
I will say however that it would be difficult for MS to make a decent hand held. They love big bulky things. IE. Xbox 1 , Xbox 360 power supply, Duke controller. I mean think about it. Sure it is feasible, but the chances of them making a decent hand held are in the negatives. I'm not stating that Billy Boy is not capable of producing an amazing hand held, But that is Nintendo's market, Literally. Nintendo will remain the handheld king regardless of anything. And maybe one day when all my prayers are answered every thing Sony on the face of the earth with burst into flames and go strait to hell where they belong.
My opinion is that unless MS teams up with someone else in the hand held market they will have a mediocre piece of shit like the PSP also.

for it to be gaming it needs those chips so its gonna be pretty big.
think logically compare it to the psp with minor improvements - not a cd/dvd drive and a 60gb hdd. thats rediculous. maybe for a microdrive but idk how big t hose come in but that would too expensive anyway.

The PSP is great for all your Multimedia needs, Video, Photo and Music, i use the Music and Video option alot.
I can put Weekly TNA Impacts on the Video option, and then i just put my House and Trance music on.
But when it gets to the Games its a major flop for me, it made the flop worser when i Played Mario Kart DS, and i realised that MK:DS just thrashed all the PSP Games by a mile, the Homebrew thing is cool, but the problem is that it's just Useless Operating Systems and Emulation (Which i dont really enjoy, thats when i started a Retro collection ).
Overall the PSP is good for MultiMedia, but the thing that matters the most in a Console is the Games, which flop hard with the PSP.
If M$ were to make a Portable consoles, they would have to focus more on the Games, rather that MultiMedia.
Also, wireless communication to the 360 would be awesome. (Play 360 Games on the Portable, and look at your stats on the screen, would be Awesome!).

NBN switches on FttN network
NBN has switched on the fibre-to-the-node portion of its multi-technology mix high-speed broadband network, with promises that it will deliver speeds of 100Mbps.
NBN has switched on the fibre-to-the-node portion of its multi-technology mix high-speed broadband network, with promises that it will deliver speeds of 100Mbps.
Telstra will hand over ownership of its copper and hybrid fibre-coaxial networks to NBN Co for the multi-technology mix network under a new deal signed on Sunday.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said that NBN Co will soon release an audited historical cost per premises passed for the fibre-to-the-home network to show the actual cost of the network rollout up until the multi-technology mix switch.
General Electric, which is bulking up its technology unit to focus on the industrial Internet, names a former EMC exec CTO of GE Software. A former IBMer is now VP of software research at GE Software.
Philippines telecommunications giant Globe Telecom has indicated that it may choose to use G.fast VDSL technology to reach buildings where legacy copper can't be replaced with fibre and fixed wireless can't cope with demand.
NBN Co has formally ended the plans to roll out fibre to the premises to 93 percent of Australian premises, mandating that fibre to the node should be the default technology choice.
NBN Co has said that the annual cost of powering the nodes in the multi-technology mix will be cheaper than the capital cost of rolling out fibre to the premises.
NBN Co CEO Bill Morrow has said there is no conspiracy over fibre savings with the company reviewing the outcome of a trial of new fibre deployment technology and methods implemented in a trial in Victoria that was leaked to media earlier this month.
The Vertigan cost-benefit analysis has further downgraded the role of fibre in the multi technology mix (MTM) model for the NBN - even though it also suggests that fibre isn't as relatively expensive as it used to be. What are we to make of this?
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said NBN Co and Telstra are planning a wider trial of fibre to the node technology that will cover up to 1,000 premises.
A trial of fibre-to-the-node technology on the NSW Central Coast and Epping in Victoria has been delayed by issues in getting hold of Telstra's copper and securing adequate power.
Telstra has reported peak download speeds of 90Mbps and peak upload speeds of 30Mbps in a trial of NBN Co's fibre to the building technology in Melbourne.
The fundamental problem with telehealth is not a lack of NBN connectivity; it's culture, intransigence, and needing to change the way the health sector does business, said CSIRO chief scientist professor Branko Celler.
NBN Co has confirmed that it will rent Telstra's copper lines as part of a trial of fibre-to-the-node technology.
Australia's new Liberal Party government is using the wrong strategy for rolling out the country's national broadband network (NBN) and should consolidate the planned two-stage deployment of fibre-to-the-node (FttN) technology into one rollout, a leaked internal report has revealed.
Following successful lab trials of fibre to the building technology, NBN Co is now seeking ISPs to begin testing out the technology in the real world.
Cloud is the future of enterprise technology, but mobile goes hand-in-hand with that. It looks like that idea hasn't escaped the EMC-spawned project.
Telstra and Alcatel-Lucent are testing out fibre-to-the-node technology in what will no doubt be a pitch for construction work on the National Broadband Network under the Coalition government.
EMC wants Aveksa's technology to help create "situational perimeters" across enterprise and cloud environments that line-of-business, not IT, controls.
Analyst Mark Anderson has a good record for technology predictions; here's what he says about 2013 — and where we agree and disagree.

Maple Valley Tea World: Great Bubble Tea at a Reasonable Price
In 1983, a tea stand owner in Taiwan, named Liu Han-Chieh, originated the first bubble tea. According to bubbleteasupply.com, this concession owner was the first to add tapioca pearls to a cold infused tea drink that was already popular among elementary school children. The original tea drink was made by taking brewed tea and mixing it with powdered fruit flavorings to sweeten it. It was then served in clear plastic cups. Liu Han-Chieh topped the drink with tapioca pearls, which promptly sank to the bottom of the cup, and added a thick straw. The result... | Continue reading article

Dermatologists and beauty editors agree: this hydrating mist is your best bet for curing dryness and irritation in a snap. Bottled from the medicinal springs of Avène, France, it's rich in minerals that rebalance all kinds of troubled skin. It's clinically proven to soothe the redness and stinging associated with sunburn, eczema, and other skin conditions. Use it as a morning toner or a mid-day skin refresher.
I love Avene spring water spray & use it multiple times throughout my day. It is essential for me after working out-it cools my skin down (I have rosacea). It also feels great as a refresher for my makeup during the day. Just lightly mist your face & it perks your skin up. I love all the products in the Avene line.5
A couple years ago I had an alergic reaction that had to be treated by a dermatologist. She recommended this product to me. It soothes and nourishes the skin. I use it every morning between my washing routine and my sunblock (I do not wear face moisturizer). I use it constantly in the winter because of artificial heat. Spritz a bit every hour and you will definitely note the difference.5
This was the first facial mist spray I ever tried. At first you feel weird buying a can of water but I was quickly hooked! I love using mists in the morning after I've applied my makeup for a smooth, hydrated look, and throughout the day to refresh. Feels wonderful and gives me a little pick me up. At the moment my skin is pretty dry and it's really nice to have something in my bag to give my skin a little moisture without messing up my makeup. This is always in my rotation of facial mists.5
I love this!! I've carried another "canned water" spray for years...to refresh, cool down or tame flyaway hair. This product however is freaking awesome! The difference is that rather than just plain water, this has minerals in it and has a soothing effect. The mists or spray nozzles are virtually the same but this seems to be a couple steps above other spray waters. If you find yourself hot flashing, this is a life saver as well. Keep one in the fridge for a quick cool down. Also, it's perfect for your carryon while traveling. This will be stocked, back stocked and shared with friends. This is amazing yet totally random product. Who knew :O)5
It is crucial to keep hydrated at all times, inside and out~
I use avene's thermal spring water spray on my face as often as I can throughout the day. When you have makeup on, it's hard to apply a moisturizer on top of it. That's why this spray is awesome to spritz over your makeup.

Eubanks overturned the sentence, ordered a new sentencing hearing and said he would rule on the other matters raised by Maye's new defense team later. ...

The Umbria region
With over 30 per cent of the region's total area made up of woodland, Umbria is known as "the Green Heart of Italy". Villa Subtila has the unique advantage of being situated in the very centre of this area steeped with history and tradition.
Umbria is one of Italy's most beautiful and enchanting regions. This tranquil land of saints and ancient mystics, with its romantic countryside and its historically rich medieval hill-towns, inspires a special reverence in the hearts of Italians as well as the foreigners visiting it. More than anywhere else, the region seems to represent the country's spirituality.
With less than a million inhabitants, Umbria's population density is half that of the national average, affording ample area for individuality! The simple pleasures of country living, surrounded by unspoilt natural beauty, can be enhanced by the knowledge that the location of the estate also offers art and architecture plus wonderful food and wine in nearby towns and cities throughout the two adjoining regions of Lazio and Tuscany.
Florence and Rome are within two hours' drive and Siena, Arezzo, Assisi, Todi and Orvieto are all closely linked. The capital city of Perugia is just 20 minutes away and offers a wealth of cultural activities that include opera and the famous Umbria Jazz festival, held every July. Other spectacular hilltop towns include Cortona and Preggio with its annual classical music festival and the annual Montone Film Festival which attracts an international audience.
During the summer months open-air concerts and operas are often staged in the gardens of famous villas and palazzos that abound throughout the region.
Many tours and excursions can be organized for our guests during their stay by the Estate?s Management.
Guests have access to an18 Hole championship golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., a golf clubhouse and restaurant facilities within the same estate, are only 3 minutes distance from the Villa. These are also accessible by golf-cart through a private pathway that runs across the nature reserve. All guests staying have discounts on the golf green fees and at the clubhouse restaurant.
Furthermore there are a wide range of outdoor pursuits and activities including hunting, fishing and mountain bikes.
Villa Subtila is an elegant and stunning villa set up in the Umbrian hills offering a peaceful environment, breath-taking views and surely one of the most relaxing ambiance in Umbria, yet providing a discreet five-star service complemented with the facilities and commodities of an exceptional luxury resort.
With its 9 rooms, each individually decorated in warm rich colours; the Villa is an authentic Umbrian jewel offering peace and tranquillity in an environment far removed from everyday care.
To arrive at the origins of this country estate, which has always risen majestically in the midst of the Umbrian region throughout the ravages of time, one must date back to more than a millennium.
Inhabited by man since prehistoric times the estate has been witness to many historical events, which helped shape the Italy we know today. Murlo is situated at the very top of a beautiful hill in the midst of Monte Elceto di Murlo and Monte Tezio - an easily defendable and dominant position. - when originally built.

Charles River has recently acquired VivoPath, a Massachusetts-based discovery CRO. This acquisition, along with the acquisition of Argenta and BioFocus in March 2014, has positioned Charles River as an industry leader in offering discovery services to biopharmaceutical industry and academic research groups.
VivoPath is a discovery service provider with established experience and expertise in providing in vivo pharmacology studies, with specific focus in the areas of metabolic and inflammatory diseases. VivoPath offers comprehensive evaluation of novel compounds from formulation through preclinical in vivo proof of concept. "We are excited to combine our team, along with its flexibility and responsiveness, with the already established discovery capabilities at Charles River to provide industry-leading discovery solutions," commented Dr. Phil Lambert, former CSO at VivoPath, which is now part of Charles River Discovery Services. "We will continue to operate with the same flexibility and responsiveness, now with the increased capabilities and integration that Charles River is known for."
"We have seen a major shift in the biopharmaceutical industry in drug discovery and development activities. Clients in the industry are making critical go/no-go decisions much earlier out of the necessity to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their drug discovery programs," stated Dr. Emily Hickey, Corporate Vice President of Discovery Services. "Over the years, Charles River has built exceptional in vitro and in vivo discovery expertise through both acquisitions and internal R&D to help clients make informed decisions. The acquisition of VivoPath is precisely in line with our strategy, and will further enhance our discovery capabilities in rapid evaluation of therapeutic compounds for in vivo proof of concept."
We operate as a proactive thinking partner bringing target to clinical candidate capabilities, ideas and solutions to your discovery programs.
The acquisition of Argenta and BioFocus uniquely positions us as an early-stage CRO with fully integrated discovery and early development capabilities.
Selecting a pharmacology model is a critical decision in your discovery research. Our Pharmacology Database streamlines your search by characterizing your options in one centralized, quick-reference repository.

Last month we featured a multitude of recipes that are great for your holiday parties. This month, we wanted to give you some great dessert options for any festivity you run into! Because desserts are abundant and basically unavoidable, you'll want to perhaps prepare and bring your own desserts that are healthier than the standard fare and just as enjoyable.Cookie recipes for any social occasion
In Season: Sweet PotatoesNovember 1st, 2013
Sweet potatoes have long been a very tasty November staple … but did you know they are a superfood? One of nature's best sources of beta-carotene, a single cup provides 438 percent of our daily vitamin A needs with a modest 102 calories. To get the full benefit of the beta-carotene, it's important to have a little fat at the same time … butter anyone?
Cook's Corner: Healthy HolidaysNovember 1st, 2013
You've been here before. Extended trip to the family's for the holidays. At least two sit-down meals and a table filled with more desserts than you can feed yourself. By the time the trip is said and done, you've probably consumed more than several thousand calories… and none of them in the "healthy" department.
Just Raw: Keeping it SimpleNovember 1st, 2013
The holidays tend to leave many people frazzled. Lots of family means lots of food, which always leads to lots of hassle. But if you choose to make a few raw appetizers, your work load will be lightened the day of, and your guests will never know the difference.
In Season: CeleriacOctober 1st, 2013
Hailed by some as the world's ugliest vegetable, this homely root is a perfect fall and winter non-starch alternative to potatoes. Delicious, hearty, and durable in storage, this veggie is a perennial favorite in the UK—high time for another British Invasion.
Just Between Us GalsOctober 1st, 2013
Gluten is everywhere, but is it innocent or is it betraying your body? By now you probably already know that people on the gluten-free diet avoid wheat, barley, rye, and any oats not labeled gluten-free. And gluten can hide in the most unexpected foods like some brands of broth and corn tortillas.How the gluten-free diet can improve your healthBy Carla Spacher
5 Tips for Eating Seafood SafelyOctober 1st, 2013

Cook's Corner: Chili Season Is Upon UsOctober 1st, 2013
Most people grew up with their family chili. Filled with beans, thick and meaty, vegetarian—there are endless possibilities. Then of course there are the toppings: sour cream, cheese, Fritos, or maybe you pair it with some cornbread. As we've learned what's good for your body (and what definitely is not), we see some of those classics in a different light.
Raw Recipes to RememberOctober 1st, 2013
Summer may be long gone, but you still need good raw sides for your table. But what do you choose? Most dressings require some sort of oil that is not considered raw. Olive oils that are raw need to be made with ripe olives, which are then stone crushed and cold pressed—many olive oils don't meet that requirement. Reading labels is crucial when attempting to eat all raw.

A Classic Tarte Tatin Recipe, Step-by-StepElizabeth Stark
Steeped in rich caramel, studded with big chunks of apple, and surrounded by a light and flaky crust, winter desserts don't get much better than a classic tarte tatin. It's the perfect way to wrap up a romantic dinner; and since it's so easy to make, it's ideal for dinner parties or weeknight dinners for two.
I used to think tarte tatin was a fussy dessert, but after a few test runs, it has quickly become one of my favorite winter treats. Think of it as a caramel apple pie, but without all the trouble. Just make up a simple caramel sauce, add the apple slices, cover with dough, bake, flip and eat. And anyway, if this deep caramel and apple flavor were any easier to come by, I might give up on other foods altogether!
Head below for a photo step-by-step and our easy tarte tatin recipe.
Set the apples in the caramel. 1 of 7
Roll out the dough. 2 of 7
Place dough on top of the apples. 3 of 7
Cut slits in the dough. 4 of 7
Bake until golden. 5 of 7
Cool, and then flip the tarte tatin. 6 of 7
Have a slice! 7 of 7
Tarte Tatin Recipe (adapted from Alice Water's The Art of Simple Food)
for the dough
makes one 10 ounce crust
1 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cold and rough chopped
1/4 cup ice water
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and pulse 6 or so times. The mixture should have a sandy texture. Drizzle in the water, a pulse 1 or 2 times.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, gather into a disc, wrap tightly with plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
for the tarte tatin
6 – 7 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Heat a 9 inch cast iron or metal skillet over medium-high heat. To make the simple caramel, add the butter, melt, and then swirl in the sugar. Cook for 4 – 6 minutes, keeping a close eye as the sugar starts to melt. Stir often, and look for the mixture to turn a deep golden hue. Remove from heat. The caramel will continue to cook and the color will deepen even more. Set aside while you prepare the apples.
Cut the quartered apples in half, and arrange curved side down in the skillet, pressing them into the warm caramel. Start with the outer rim, fitting the apples in a tight circle. Next, add the apples to the center. Cut any leftover apple slices into smaller pieces and fill any gaps.
Quickly roll out the dough on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, fold into quarters, and unfold over the apples mixture. Tuck the edges around the apples. Cut 4 tiny slits in the top to allow the steam to escape.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling around a light golden crust.
Cool for 10 – 20 minutes, set a large plate over the skillet, and, using oven mits, flip. A few apples may stick to the top, just replace them into the tarte tatin as needed. Cool for another 20 minutes or so, and serve warm, or cool completely. Either way, you're in for a little slice of heaven.

For the first time, we've introduced two "duo-shades" (Spell and Jealous) that are split in half with a different colour on each side. Each eyeshadow features out new Pigment Infusion System®, the propriety blend of ingredients that gives every shade its velvety texture, rich colour, serious staying power and blendability. The kit also features a full size super saturated high gloss lip colour in shade F-Bomb and a travel size 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in black.

Belumut Range Things to Do
Take a dip by the waterfall
The waterfall is like a little piece of heaven after trekking up Gunung Belumut. Jump into its cool waters and get your toes bitten by the little fish! Careful on the sharp rocks!Related to:
- Camping
- Mountain Climbing
Belumut Range Transportation
Teksi to Gunung Belumut Recreational...
Once in Johor or Johor Bahru, it is possible to catch a taxi to the Gunung Belumut Recreational Park, near Kluang. The journey will last less than 2 hours and cost up to RM150. Payment is by cash only.
To leave the park and return to Johor Bahru, speak to the guard at the entrance of the park and he will order a cab for you. However, expect to wait up to 2.5 hours for the vehicle to arrive. A "tip" for the guard (aprroximately RM10) will be included in the taxi fare.
Part of the journey takes you through a small town in Kluang and, as you near the park, an oil palm plantation. This could be the only way to get to Gunung Belumut if you do not have your own transport or are unable to hire a private vehicle.Related to:
- Road Trip
- Mountain Climbing
- Camping
Yellow Causeway Link Bus via the Second...
Those who start out from the western part of Singapore may want to hop onto the Yellow Causeway Link bus that will take you from the Jurong East Bus Terminal to Johor via the Second Link. However, it does not terminate at the usual Larkin Bus Terminal or near the city area - you will have to get onto another bus heading to the location of your choice at a small bus terminal.
The bus ride costs $3.50 per passenger. Payment is by cash only. Passengers should be prepared for a long wait at the Second Link immigration on weekends and public holidays.Related to:

Climbing belumut update 2010
We just came back from Gunung Belumut. The park is now open after being closed in 2008 and 2009 (we went in 2009 and it was still "under repair" and had to climb nearby Gunung Lambak instead).
This time in 2010 the park was already open, but the park gates were closed! It was a Friday. Ten minutes after we came, a man drove by and told us that it would only open the next day. "Mr M" said in any case we need to make a police report and also pay a entry fee of RM150, and that could only be done in town. After some negotiations he said he could help us get in for RM70 - he would make the police report and then 'cover' us if the park rangers came. We agreed of course, then exchange phone numbers with with and left our particulars. Apparently you could get a porter for RM100 if the park was opened. We wish there was a number we could call from Singapore to check out if the park is open.
So we just walked round the gate to a hole in fence...
There were no clear signs where the trail begins, and after a while we called Mr M and he said we had to cross the bridge across the river that runs to the right of the recreation area and then take the concrete steps to the left that leads up.
We reached the false summit after four hours. This is a clay covered clearing without trees about the size of one or two badminton courts. The real summit could be seen about a few hundred metres away. We could not find the trail leader there and hunted around, and finally found it. It was overgrown, but when we entered it, the undergrowth cleared about twenty metres. (If you stand at the false summit and face the real summit, the trial is at the one o'clock position of the clearing.) That part of the trail was narrow and had many needle palms and lalang which can cut us – so longs would be useful.
Watch out for leeches at the lower part of the mountain. We all got leeches, and one of us had seven of them! We did not have matches or a lighter with us, but found out that Axe Brand medicated oil works; just drip it onto the suckers and they will wriggle and fall off.
We took eight and half very long and tough hours to go up and down. Be prepared to scramble up and down quite steep slopes at two or three points. Bring plenty of water!
Equipment: Standard hiking equipment. Plus:
Anti leech stuff - either a lighter or Axe Brand medicated oil or similar.
Tweezers would be useful just in case a thorn gets into your flesh.
Disinfected would be useful too.Related to:
- Backpacking
- Hiking and Walking
- Mountain Climbing
Trek Gunung Belumut
Have fun trekking up Gunung Belumut, but don't expect a beautiful view. At 1004-m, chances are that your view will be blurred out by clouds and mist.
Of course, if its a hot and clear sunny day, you may be able to enjoy a view of the surroundings. The downside, of course, is trekking in the heat and that's pretty torturous!
You'll have to climb over large fallen trees, up almost vertical trails and through almost overgrown paths. It should take approximately 2-3 hours to get across 2 ridges to the summit at a moderate to fast pace. It may take less time downhill, but it is a killer on the knees.
Remember to bring enough drinking water!
Not for the faint-hearted nor the unfit. A permit is required from the Park Ranger Office at the base of the mountain. It costs RM70 per permit.
Equipment: - Drinking water
- Small snacks
- Trekking pole
- Trekking shoes / sandals
- Park Ranger permit
- Insect repellent
- Rain jacket (optional)Related to:
- Mountain Climbing
- Jungle and Rain Forest
Belumut climbs
Belumut mountain climbing can be easy for beginners like me, only at 1004m in height, there's a park and can be reached by car from Kluang town, only some 18km north. Just park your car at the parking space, get ready your backpack and go, you need 8-9 hours up to peak and back down.Related to:

We're a farm family with a second home that doesn't get nearly enough use. My husband runs a dairy farm and I'm a librarian who teaches information literacy at a small college in Milwaukee.
Elkhart Lake is a fantastic vacation spot. Small-town friendliness meets cosmopolitan culture. I've lived here 17 years and still love it as much as when I first moved here.
I've been hosting for three years now and I love it. I get to meet so many interesting people. My family and I do everything possible to provide a relaxing enjoyable stay. If you have children, I always lay out kids toys, games and books.
A friend and I made a short video about the house. You can find it by doing a video search for Rental House in Elkhart Lake.

Judge won't scrap Arizona hearing for convicted killer Hausner
PHOENIX — A judge is denying attempts to scuttle a scheduled hearing on a
convicted serial killer's competency to waive further appeals so he can be
executed as soon as possible.
Dale Hausner was convicted of six murders and numerous other crimes in a series
of random shootings in the Phoenix area in 2005 and 2006. Victims included
pedestrians, bicyclists and animals.
A recent order by Judge Roland Steinle of Maricopa County Superior Court denied
a motion by prosecutors to cancel the competency hearing scheduled later this
Steinle also denied motions by a lawyer for Hausner to disqualify the Attorney
General's Office from the case and to rule that the death penalty is cruel and
unusual punishment.
Finally, Steinle denied a psychiatrist's request to withdraw as the
court-appointed expert.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie
Idleness is only fatal to the mediocre.Albert Camus
Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness its opposite never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
To have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.Albert Camus
When they are not at war they do a little hunting, but spend most of their time in idleness, sleeping and eating. The strongest and most warlike do nothing. They vegetate, while the care of hearth and home and fields is left to the women, the old and the weak. Strange inconsistency of temperament, which makes the same men lovers of sloth and haters of tranquility.Tacitus
Life is best enjoyed when time periods are evenly divided between labor, sleep, and recreation...all people should spend one-third of their time in recreation which is rebuilding, voluntary activity, never idleness.Brigham Young
There is a care for trifles which proceeds from love of conscience, and is most holy; and a care for trifles which comes of idleness and frivolity, and is most base.John Ruskin
Smokers, male and female, inject and excuse idleness in their lives every time they light a cigarette.Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
Idleness and lack of occupation tend -- nay are dragged -- towards evilHippocrates
Idleness, women, disorder, a foolish partiality for one's own native place, discontent and timidity are six obstructions to greatness.Hitopadesa Hitopadesa
It seems to me that all of the evil in life comes from idleness, boredom, and psychic emptiness, but all of that is inevitable when you become accustomed to living at others expense.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Ye who, borne about in chariots and sedans know no fatigue but that of idleness.William Cowper
Trouble springs from idleness.Benjamin Franklin
It is idleness that creates impossibilities; and where people don't care to do anything, they shelter themselves under a permission that it cannot be done.Bishop Robert South
Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.Miguel de Cervantes

A formal admission that members of D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray's 2010 campaign team paid a minor candidate to bash incumbent Mayor Adrian M. Fenty — whether Mr. Gray knew it or not — has not upset the city's fragile relationship with Capitol Hill at this stage, an official said Wednesday.
Mr. Gray and D.C. Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown have nurtured their relationship with Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, and Rep. Trey Gowdy, South Carolina Republican, who are vested with the constitutional authority to oversee activities in the federal enclave.
Mr. Gray's assistant campaign treasurer, Thomas W. Gore, pleaded guilty in federal court on Tuesday to processing payments to 2010 mayoral candidate Sulaimon Brown and destroying a notebook with a ledger of the payments.
Charges were filed Wednesday against campaign operative Howard Brooks, who is accused of making false statements to authorities about his role in delivering the illegal campaign contributions to Mr. Brown.
The developments come while Mr. Gray pushes for a longer leash from federal lawmakers through budget autonomy, or the ability to set the city's fiscal year and spend its local funds without prior approval from Congress. Mr. Gray also reportedly is speaking to Mr. Issa about relaxing long-standing height restrictions on buildings in certain parts of the District.
"That work has been taking place over the last seven [to] eight months, so it doesn't fundamentally change the facts," said Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Mr. Issa's Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Mr. Gray is not linked directly to any payments in the court documents related to Gore's plea, and a House investigation spearheaded by Mr. Issa in the fall fell short of pointing fingers at the mayor for suspicious deals on the 2010 campaign trail and nepotism during the administration's hiring process.
The plea documents, Mr. Hill said, "really confirm in a little more detail what the committee had found in October."
Mr. Gowdy, chairman of a House subcommittee with oversight of D.C. affairs, was not immediately available for comment on Wednesday.
Ilir Zherka, executive director of D.C. Vote, an organization that promotes full voting rights for the District, said he does not see a correlation between potential corruption in the city government and the right to more autonomy from the federal government.
"What we're talking about is the right of local residents to deal with local issues, whether it's malfeasance or anything else," Mr. Zherka said as he participated in a mock D.C. Constituents Service Day on Wednesday outside the office of Rep. Trent Franks, Arizona Republican, who introduced an anti-abortion bill that only targets the District.
According to advocates, clean government should not be construed as a prerequisite for home rule.
"These problems exist everywhere in America," Mr. Zherka said.
Mr. Issa's investigative report in October was an overall boon for Mr. Gray, finding his transition team did not promise anything more than a job interview to Mr. Brown.
Mr. Brown obtained a $110,000-per-year job in the D.C. Department of Health Care Finance but was fired within weeks, prompting him to go public with his accusations in The Washington Post.

An electron-beam-fabricated subwavelength grating coupler for direct side coupling of light emission from a high-power laser diode array (LDA) was studied theoretically and implemented experimentally. A gold-embedded silica-based design for grating coupler was employed to minimize the thermal expansion caused by the accumulated heat from light absorption by metal part of the grating coupler. In addition, with the consideration of the backward diffraction loss and the groove wall nonverticality caused by fabrication distortion, the grating pitch and groove width were optimized for the highest coupling efficiency. According to the experimental results, the grating coupler is capable of coupling light power up to 21 W from a 976-nm continuous-wave-operated LDA into the inner clad of a 400-μm-diameter double-clad fiber with an overall coupling efficiency of 50%. Furthermore, an LDA side-pumped ytterbium-doped DCF laser by using the grating coupler was demonstrated. By fine tuning the slow-axis collimation lens array, the laser-pumping scheme can easily be switched between bidirectional pumping and unidirectional pumping. Compared with the unidirectionally pumped fiber laser of the same gain fiber length, the laser slope efficiency of the bidirectionally pumped fiber laser was increased by 18% because of a better gain distribution over the fiber length. Finally, the signal output power of 10 W with a slope efficiency of 61% was achieved for the bidirectional side-pumped fiber laser.
