C3 Lighting - is a unique company that designs, engineers, and manufactures LED-based lighting products for specialized applications. C3 Lighting pioneered Remote Power and Control of LED Illumination, also known as Distributed DC Power. In 2009 C3 Lighting, Inc. proposed that the LED should be considered simply one component of a lighting system, allowing a building's illumination to be more easily configured as a network. In addition, the conversion of AC to DC power to drive a fixture's LED's should not be on or in a fixture, but in a central location. This eliminates LED drivers and the controls required for dimming and illumination color changes from fixtures. This model is the basis for C3 Lighting's Remote Power and Control Network for LED Illumination.

Argus Quartet performs works by Yale faculty and alumni Feb. 2
The Yale School of Music presents a recital by the Argus Quartet, YSM's fellowship quartet-in-residence on Tuesday, February 2 at 7:30 pm. The quartet will perform works which highlight the unique sounds that can be made by playing string instruments in unconventional ways. Among the composers featured will be YSM faculty member Christopher Theofanidis, and Andrew Norman '09 AD.
The recital begins with Béla Bartók's String Quartet No. 4, which makes use of several extended techniques such as large glissandi, muted passages, and the famous "Bartok pizzicato," in which the plucked string rebounds against the instrument's fingerboard to create a loud slap.
Next, the quartet will continue with selections from Andrew Norman's Peculiar Strokes, which was premiered by the Argus Quartet in December 2015. Written to highlight and explore the unusual sounds that can be made with different types of bow strokes, the collection of miniature movements that make up Peculiar Strokes is an ongoing project to which Norman has been adding for several years.
After intermission, the program will continue with Visions and Miracles by YSM faculty composer Christopher Theofanidis. As with many of Theofanidis' compositions, the movement titles are narrative: All joy wills eternity, Peace Love Light YOUMEONE, and I add brilliance to the sun.
Closing the program is Thomas Kotcheff's scratch cradle, which was commissioned and premiered by the Argus Quartet in 2014. The quartet worked closely with Kotcheff throughout its composition and says that the work "will represent the true spirit of collaboration."
The concert takes place at Morse Recital Hall in Sprague Hall (470 College Street, New Haven), and is free and open to the public; no tickets are required. The performance will also stream live online.
About the Argus Quartet
The Argus Quartet is dedicated to reinvigorating the audience-performer relationship through new and innovative concert presentations of diverse repertoire – connecting with and building up a community of engaged listeners is at the core of the quartet's mission.
Formed in the summer of 2013, Argus is receiving invitations from concert series throughout the United States and abroad. Recent performances include appearances at Carnegie Hall, Laguna Beach Live!, Encinitas' Music By The Sea, the Hear Now Music Festival, Music Academy of the West, the Birdfoot Festival, and the Cello Biënnale Amsterdam. The quartet has also won several competitions including the Beverly Hills Consortium and the MTAC San Diego Competition.
Beyond its commitment to performing chamber music at the highest level, Argus aims to engage audiences in unique ways. This fall marks the inaugural season of Argus in LA, a concert series that reimagines many aspects of the traditional concert experience. These handcrafted presentations have something for everyone: eclectic programming, world premieres, and exciting guest artists.
Education and outreach are an important part of the Argus Quartet's mission. In addition to their teaching responsibilities at Yale, next season includes residencies at the Milken School, California State University Long Beach, and the Birdfoot Festival.
The members of the quartet are Jason Issokson and Clara Kim, violin, Diana Wade, viola, and Joann Whang, cello. WEBSITE

While I recognize the value of having a high-end quadcopter for when you are a fan of flying outdoors, there's something uniquely amusing to me about flying tiny quadcopters through a home or office. I like taping little notes to them and flying the notes to a colleague, or zooming a little drone up the stairs to let my kids know it is time to eat. Since I'm not very good at flying around these smaller drones, I typically look for the least expensive options out there. The good news is that there's no shortage of cheap little quadcopters on the market. The bad news is that I've been wasting my time, and my money, by looking for these cheaper options.
This weekend I spent some time with Parrot's new Rolling Spider quadcopter. Parrot released this little machine alongside their Jumping Sumo wheeled toy, the goal being to offer something that was less expensive than the $300 AR Drone that the company had become so famous for. When surrounded by drones like the $60 Dromida Kodo Quadcopter or the $65 Air Hogs RC Helix X4 Stunt Quadcopter — not to mention any number of even cheaper drones and RC helicopters that lack things like a camera or stabilizing gyros — the $100 you pay for Parrot's offering seems like a lot. This is especially true at first glance, since it looks almost exactly like all of the other cheap quadcopters. The reality, however, is Parrot's quadcopter offer way more than any of the other inexpensive flying machine.
Like every other Parrot remote control toy, rather than using an included RC controller of some kind you're using an app on your phone or tablet to drive around the Rolling Spider. This is great for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is the ability to control your quadcopter by tinting your phone back and forth. Parrot's Free Flight 3 app has a lot of smarts baked in, which means it is much easier to go from zero flight experience to hovering a few feet off the ground. It could be argued that the app does a little too much of the work for you, and that if you ever want to move away from Parrot's rigs and on to mightier flyers you'll be in trouble, but if all you want to do is sail a little drone around your living room this app is superb. You'll also find that Parrot is regularly pushing firmware updates to their toys, so things like battery life and stability will actually improve over time.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows with the Flying Spider, and it's these little details that may make other options worth checking out. Parrot doesn't include and replacement blades if you crash, the battery is a proprietary little lock in monster, and the camera on the bottom of this unit might grab an okay photo on a perfect day, but in every other situation will return garbage. Dromida's $60 Kodo, for example, takes way better photos and includes both replaceable blades and a more standardized battery pack. As nice as the Rolling Spider is to fly, and as nice as the MicroUSB charger baked into the drone itself is, there's a good chance that the cost of this drone will increase dramatically if a particularly nasty crash happens. The same isn't true of many other quadcopters.
Ultimately, decisions like these are the pinnacle of first world problems, but if you've got the extra cash and you own a smartphone, there's a good chance that the Parrot Rolling Spider is closer to what you want out of an indoor flyer. If you're interested in actually learning how to fly and are looking to play around on a smaller rig until you are ready to fly something larger, Parrot's cheaper options are probably not where you want to look. Either way, make sure you avoid the cat.

Now I'm finally at the stage of putting the binding on my Christmas quilt, I've been hunting high and low looking for the binding fabric. I'm sure I had it tucked away in a bag somewhere, together with the leftover scraps from the quilt blocks.
Where would it be? First of all I looked through all the bags of UFOs hanging from my coat rack. No, not in any of those bags, but I did reacquaint myself what is still waiting to be completed.
I know, I thought, I'll check out the basket by my sewing cabinet, perhaps I put the fabric there? . No again, not there either. Perhaps I put it in one of those plastic crates (even more UFO's) stacked up in the wardrobe. While it may have been interesting looking though the crates, opening up bags, and finding all sorts of things I had forgotten about, I still drew a blank. But I did find the pattern for the quilt, so that was something.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that maybe I didn't have any fabric left to do the binding after all, and that is why it just couldn't be found. After all the time I'd spent looking here, there, and everywhere, getting hot and bothered, it all seemed a bit of a let down. There's only one thing for it, I'll just have to visit the quilt shop tomorrow and buy some fabric to make the binding. Problem solved.

|typhoid vaccine in 1909
Brigadier General Frederick Fuller Russell (1870, Auburn, New York, USA-December 29, 1960) was a U.S. Army physician who developed an American typhoid vaccine in 1909. In 1911, the typhoid vaccination program was the first in which an entire army was immunized. It eliminated typhoid as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among U.S. military personnel.
After graduating from Cornell University in 1891, Russell received his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University in 1893 and his Doctor of Science from George Washington University in 1917. In 1898 he was commissioned as first lieutenant in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Army.
It was during his time as a Medical Corps officer that he began his research into the inoculation of soldiers against typhoid. In 1908 Surgeon General O'Reilly sent Russell to England to observe the work of Sir Almorth Wright, Professor at the Royal Army Medical College, who had been experimenting with a method of prophylaxis with killed culture of typhoid organisms to immunize against the disease. Upon Russell's return he submitted a report on Wright's research, which O'Reilly considered as "a very valuable treatise on the epidemiology of this disease."
As a result of the report Russell was assigned the duty of implementing an immunization program within the U.S. Army. In 1910 he inoculated his first group of volunteers and by 1911 vaccination became compulsory. From a morbidity of 173 cases in 1910, Russell was able to reduce the total to nine cases in 1912 with only one death.
During his career he served as curator of the Army Medical Museum, instructor in the Army Medical School, and professor of pathology and bacteriology at George Washington University. In addition, he served on various investigating boards, one of which he was able to advise and offer technical counsel to Major Carl Darnall in the development of a water filter for field use and the first water chlorinator using gaseous chlorine.
After his resignation from the Army in 1921, Russell returned to the rolls as a reserve officer and in November 1920 was appointed Brigadier General of the Medical Officers Reserve Corps. Following his military career he served as the director of the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation. As director, Russell continued his research into public health focusing on diseases such as yellow fever. He spent the final years (1936-39) of his career in medical science and administration as professor of epidemiology and preventive medicine at Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health.

Sacramento International Airport's ongoing $1.1 billion modernisation programme dubbed 'The Big Build' has celebrated the topping out of the gateway's new Central Terminal B and airside concourse.
Covering an area of 670,000 square feet, the new facilities – designed by Corgan Associates, in association with Fentress Architects – will be more than three times the size of the existing Terminal B.
The Big Build is the largest public construction capital improvement project ever undertaken at the Californian gateway.
"This project is beneficial for our regional economy now and into the future," says interim Sacramento County executive, Steven Szalay. "The Big Build has created approximately 2,400 new jobs and generated nearly $948 million in wages for the Sacramento region. The project is a boon to the local economy while positioning Sacramento International Airport for future smart growth and job attraction."
"This is a major milestone for the Big Build project," enthuses airport director, G Hardy Acree. "We are extremely pleased at the progress we've made, and we are thankful to all of our project partners for helping us reach this point."
The key projects of the gateway's billion-dollar makeover include a new central terminal, new 19-gate airside concourse, new international arrivals facilities, new passenger security checkpoints, state-of-the-art in-line baggage screening system and more than 42,000-squarefeet of concessions.
An elevated, automated people mover system will connect the concourse to the terminal. The project will replace the airport's aging 40-year-old Terminal B to meet the rising demand for passenger services and improve the airport's ability to attract new carriers and routes.
The new central terminal complex will offer 19 gates at opening – six more than the existing Terminal B – and is designed to accommodate an estimated 10 million passengers annually.
Upon completion, the airport will be capable of accommodating approximately 16mppa, which is expected to be sufficient until at least 2030.
According to the architects, the new terminal will feel bright and airy, with "abundant natural daylight" entering through clerestories and expansive glass curtain-walls. Clerestories also run the length of the airside concourse, maximising daylight and reducing energy use.
Sustainable features include solar shading devices integrated in the curtain-wall, low-E glass to minimise heat gain; use of recycled materials in building structure, floor and ceiling finishes; lowflow fixtures throughout and natural ventilation when possible. Together, the County of Sacramento, Sacramento County Airport System and design and construction teams are pursuing LEED®Silver for the Central Terminal B and airside concourse, which would establish the entire team as pioneers in sustainable building.
G Hardy Acree is confident that the new Central Terminal B will be a world-class facility that matches the airport's status as the capital city of the state of California and gateway for the Central Valley region.
The architects certainly believe that they have captured the area's rich history and culture to create a unique sense of place that represents Sacramento.
The vaulted three-story glass-walled structure offers panoramic views on three sides, including toward downtown and the mountains. Inside, the crossing structural members overhead create a dynamic rhythm of light and shadow, an effect inspired by Sacramento's lush tree-lined streets.
Easy wayfinding is created with unobstructed views across the ticketing hall, a visual connection to the central circulation spine and ample views to the outdoors.
Big Build construction broke ground on June 19, 2008 and is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2011.

A day in the life of Olympics Operations Manager
Felicity Canning is divisional operational manager at Homerton hospital, the hospital for athletes and Olympic officials. She explains what her role involves on a day-to-day basis
I get up at 6.30am and cycle into work from Crouch End; I aim to get in for 8am. Each day starts differently but there are some things which I always do. This usually involves checking on site issues and that the hospital is in a position to carry on with business as usual for that day.
I check in with the night team to see if there's anything that we need to be updated on, and they report on anything they think might impact on the hospital's services that day. This could be staff travel, patient transport, or something that could affect the day-to-day running of the hospital.
Each morning I produce a short report for NHS London with an update on our operational status and any issues that may have come up. The trust has to report to NHS London on a daily basis, so it is important we can communicate any problems that may affect the operational running of the hospital.
My role is to make sure that whatever happens at the hospital doesn't impact upon our services during the Olympics. Prior to the role I worked as a general manager at the hospital, so I have good overall knowledge of the NHS, the trust, and how it runs.
I started my role in September but our operations system for during the Games only started this Monday. So far we've had no problems. Some people have had slight delays coming into work, but nothing major has come up yet.
The latter part of last year involved running the program board to ensure that we are prepared for the Olympics. We've been making sure that we've been adhering to planning laws and that we are running the hospital coherently alongside other Olympic projects.
Homerton is the official hospital for athletes competing in the Games and Olympic officials. As well as planning for "business as usual" during the event, we've also had to ensure that we're running service pathways for athletes and officials without disruption to the rest of the hospital.
Athletes visiting the hospital during the Games have slightly different requirements. When we do treat them we need to do so efficiently as possible so we can get them back to the Olympic village as quickly as we can.
I've got tickets to see the Paralympic cycling, equestrian events and athletics , so am looking forward to sneaking away to catch some of that; the Games are a great opportunity to see some excellent events. Like most of London I'm excited to see it all beginning to happen after looking forward to it for such a long time.
I usually finish my day between 6 and 7pm, although part of the arrangements for Homerton being the official Games hospital is that there will be a senior manager on site 24 hours a day so I will being staying over at the hospital some nights.
After work I like to unwind with family and friends to forget about work. Before I go to sleep I usually think through everything that's happened during the day and make a mental check of things that I need to do the next day.
The hospital is well-prepared for the Olympics and I'm excited that they are now here; it's a hugely exciting opportunity to be part of such a momentous event.
And what will I do after the Games? Go on holiday!

Best-known for the pop standard "Gentle on My Mind," John Hartford is a multi-talented musician who plays a variety of stringed
instruments. He was also an author and riverboat captain. As a songwriter, he was known for a sharp, off-beat wit and music
wavering between folk, modern country, and old-timey string music.
The son of a doctor and a painter, John Hartford was born in New York City on December 30, 1937. When he was an infant, his family moved to St. Louis. It was there that John developed his lifelong passion for the Mississippi and its riverboats. By age 13, he was an accomplished fiddler and five-string banjo player whose main influences were Stringbean and Earl Scruggs. He founded his first bluegrass band in high school and went on to work various odd jobs ranging from a deejay to a deckhand on a riverboat. In the mid '60s he moved to Nashville and began working as a deejay, session man and a songwriter.
In 1966, Hartford released his debut album, "John Hartford Looks at Life," which was produced by Chet Atkins. The following year, he released "Earthwords & Music," which featured his first hit single, "Gentle On My Mind." In 1967, Glen Campbell's cover of the song became a Top 40 country and pop hit in the U.S. Following Campbell's example, a number of other artists, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Aretha Franklin, recorded the song, providing Hartford with enough money to turn his back to pop stardom and record his own music. Still, he became a star of sorts. He appeared regularly on CBS's "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" and later on the "Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour." He also played on the Byrds' genre-breaking 1968 album "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and Doug Dillard's "The Banjo Album." By the end of the decade, Hartford also earned his riverboat pilot's license, and frequently worked aboard the "Julia Belle Swain."
In the early 1970s, he recorded two solo albums, "Aero Plain" and "Morning Bugle," and made guest appearances on albums by James Taylor, Seals & Croft, Hoyt Axton and the Dillards. Hartford recorded "Tennessee Jubilee" in 1975 with the assistance of Benny Martin and Lester Flatt. In 1976, he released one of his best albums, "Mark Twang," and continued recording steadily through the '70s and '80s.
Among his most notable albums were his 1980 rock & roll-meets-bluegrass reunion with the Dillards, "Permanent Wave" and Shel Silverstein's ìThe Great Conch Train Robbery.î He began performing with his son Jamie in the late '80s and also became involved with Opryland, where he helped launch an old-fashioned steamboat ride. He recorded and re-issued his earlier work on his own "Small Dog Barking" label. ìSpeed of the Old Long Bowî followed in 1998, and 1999 saw Hartford release his own "Good Old Boys," and the Grammy nominated "Retrograss" with David Grisman and Mike Seeger.

LifeGuard Ministries Austin is delighted to bring you a free presentation featuring nationally-recognized Ricky Chelette, founder and Director of Living Hope Ministries in Arlington, TX. Ricky has ministered to gay and lesbian youth and adults since 1989. He will be telling about his experiences, and will offer insight, biblical understanding, and compassionate responses we can all learn from. You can learn more about Living Hope Ministries here: http://livehope.org/about-us/endorsements/
SSA (same-sex attraction) has proven to be a difficult subject for many churches to address. Because of this many have remained largely silent on the issue, because, you know, polite people just don't talk about these things. Or, we've taken simplistic stances against homosexuality, which actually end up being viewed as hateful by those outside the church – further alienating the very people we say that we care about so much. In the meantime our youth are being informed on the subject by society at large, who say it's no big deal. Many of our youth are being taught at school and/or society that taking a personal position which does not support homosexual behavior is actually being hateful.
People with same sex attractions are all around us, including our churches. We have kids in youth groups who are silently dealing with same-sex attractions because church is not a safe place to admit those feelings, or at the very least many of them have friends who are gay or lesbian and we are not giving them permission to freely ask questions about how to deal with this subject (because we're not sure ourselves).
In the groundbreaking book "unChristian", based off of a research project looking into the way 16 to 29-year-old non-Christians view Christians, the three most common perceptions of present day Christians are that we are anti-gay (91 percent), judgmental (87 percent), and hypocritical (85 percent). Ouch!
Let's work to do better, shall we? Come join us for an hour of practical, biblical, compassionate, grace-filled teaching about what we can do to move forward. We look forward to seeing you there!

Press Statement by M Kula Segaran, DAP National Vice Chairman and MP for
Ipoh Barat in Ipoh on 2st August 2017
Home Minister's allegation about Tun Mahathir's lineage is sign of Umno's political desperation
It was most shocking that the Deputy Prime Minister cum Home Minister Datuk Seri
Zahid Hamidi has accused the longest serving Umno president and Prime
Minister Tun Mahathir who had struggled the Malay agenda was actually using the Malays.
He has alleged that Mahathir's original identity card stated his name as Mahathir a/l Iskandar Kutty.
Zahid's comments are baffling because in terms of logic, how could one who had struggled the Malay agenda be accused of using the Malays?
By revealing details of a person's identity card, Zahid has violated the data protection act and he should be investigated by the police.
Since there have been police reports lodged against Zahid, the police should immediately investigate Zahid. As the Home Minister is the political superior of the Police, to facilitate investigation, Zahid should take temporary leave as Home Minister.
It has to be noted that Mahathir's daughter has refuted Zahid's allegation .She said that Mahathir's name should be Mahathir bin Mohamad because her grandfather's name was Mohamad Iskandar.
The only reason why the Deputy Prime Minister would go the extent of playing such dirty tactic against Mahathir is obviously that Umno is getting desperate due to the ability of Mahathir in spreading Pakatan Harapan's political message to the Malays, including traditional Umno supporters.
Umno leaders will not want to public admit it but the truth is that Mahathir and his party have been able to garner Malay support for the opposition.
There are very clear signs that there will be a Malay tsunami in the next general election. And when the tsunami peaks at the general election, Umno and BN will just fall.
In order to frighten the Malays, Umno leaders have been using the publicity strategy of Chinese versus Malays in its attacks against the DAP. Malays have been warned to be fearful of DAP.
It is now clear that Umno, by alleging Mahathir's supposed lineage, is also embarking on a racist approach in its continued attacks against Mahathir.
What Umno cannot see is that the voters including the traditional Umno supports are now more politically aware and informed. They can see how the Malays not only have not suffered but have been fairly treated even though opposition have formed the state governments in Selangor and Penang since 2008.
The racist approach used to attack Mahathir will not work and can even back fire as young Malaysians especially reject racial politics.
It is clear and simple that there is a racist element in Zahid's allegation.
For months, UMNO has used the racist approach against the DAP
They have claimed that DAP is a Chinese party that will control the opposition
.Malays have been told to be fearful of DAP.
Now with Zahid using Mahathir's lineage to attack him, the public should be surprised
that Umno has decided to adopt the racist approach against Mahathir after all its attacks
have not been effective.
Why has Umno become so desperate that it can adopt such low and irresponsible tactic against
its former president and the nation's prime minister.

"Evan Almighty" did not live up to its name at the weekend box office in North America.
The most expensive comedy ever made -- with an official price tag of $175 million -- opened at No. 1 with an estimated three-day haul of $32.1 million, said distributor Universal Pictures Sunday.
The comic take on the Noah's Ark story was not the only disappointment. The Angelina Jolie drama "A Mighty Heart" opened at No. 10 with $4 million. Based on the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, the film had been expected to open in the $5 million-$10 million range.
On the plus side, the Stephen King horror adaptation "1408" handily outperformed expectations, opening at No. 2 with $20.2 million, about $25,000 ahead of last weekend's champion, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer."

Opening Prayer For the Colorado House of Representatives
April 6, 2017
Rabbi Joseph R. Black – Temple Emanuel. Denver, CO
In just a few days, Jews around the world will be celebrating the festival of Passover. On the first and second nights, we will gather around festive tables and retell the ancient story of our redemption at a special meal called a seder. With song, prayers, special foods and ancient symbols we will heed the call to relive the experience of liberation from Egyptian bondage.
For seven days we will refrain from eating foods that are leavened - no bread, no pastries, nothing that contains yeast - in order to remember the haste with which our ancestors had to flee Egypt.
Passover is a joyous festival. As we tell and retell our ancient story of deliverance, we literally taste the bitterness of slavery and the sweetness of freedom. We drink 4 cups of wine to remember the 4 divine promises of salvation.
And yet, as we look around the world today, we see that there are many people for whom the Passover message of freedom and redemption is out of reach. In too many dark corners of our world, violence and desolation reign supreme. Slavery still casts a dark shadow. Freedom is stifled. Repression is rampant.
Even in our beautiful state of Colorado, there are those outside these walls who are enslaved to lives of violence, poverty, drugs, alcohol, homelessness and abuse. Immigrants live in fear of deportation. The suffering in our streets and the cries of the downtrodden call upon us to build bridges of hope and understanding while tearing down walls of separation and degradation.
But we need not look outside of ourselves to find the urgent message of Passover. It echoes within us all. How many of us are enslaved to enmity and strife? How often – in this very chamber - do we refrain from reaching out in compromise and retreat to partisanship?
On this day of hope and promise, O God, we ask Your blessing on this august body. May these legislators, officials, clerks and dedicated public servants find new hope in the process of governing. May any arguments that arise in the course of deliberation and debate be catalysts for communion with You and one another.
O God – You have bequeathed to us a world filled with beauty and endless possibility. Help us to find the eternal messages of liberation and self-determination that echo within this sacred chamber and in our hearts. May the message of Passover stir within us all a burning desire to bring hope and freedom to all. And Let us say, AMEN

Presents given – Kyushu Mapple
Further and further up the valley I went, until the narrow road ventured into the woods and signs of human habitation began to peter out. Drizzle turned to rain, rain became a downpour, and I had to stop and lean the Mariposa against a tree. Standing under the densest cover of cedar branches I could find, I waited, and for ten, twenty, thirty minutes, there was no let up. As I kept to my cosy patch of ground, rain was all that I could see against the darkness of the forest, and all that I could hear as it fell to the ground to form streams that washed their way downhill. There was nowhere to sit and no one to talk to, I couldn't read a book or write my diary, and at first the delay was frustrating, as I was still determined to prove last night's naysayer wrong by reaching the crossing to Honshu in a single day. But soon such thoughts fell by the wayside, and a stillness took over, as the lack of anything to do, or anything else to think about, became calming. I stood and watched, and that was enough. After perhaps an hour or more, the sky seemed to lighten just a little, and having broken out my pac-a-mac I continued on, hissing plumes of spray flying up from the Mariposa's tyres as they weaved their way around the deepest standing water. By the time I reached Kiri-Ishi Pass the rain had stopped altogether, and a tunnel pointed the way northwards (as with Lake Shidaka, it took several years before my knowledge of kanji was good enough to track down the correct pronunciation of the characters for Kiri-Ishi - 斫石 - which mean 'stone cut with a sword').
Despite a conscious effort not to push it too far on the corners, I almost came a cropper on the descent, the Mariposa's back tyre wobbling precariously on a slick of mud thrown up by some roadworks. But the road soon levelled off, became wider and more congested, and alongside it were the footprints of heavy industry. I passed a huge cement works that towered over the houses surrounding it – a Heath Robinson tangle of pipes, chutes and conveyors gouging great swathes of rock from the hillside – before pulling into the spacious car park of a tempura restaurant: spacious because almost every other vehicle on the road was now a truck, transporting goods and materials through a corridor of commercial activity to the northern tip of Kyushu.
You may have noticed that I am referring to food and drink a great deal in these posts, and looking back, I seem to have developed an obsession with such matters on a par with the natives. True, the touring cyclist needs plenty of sustenance, and is prone to timing his stops based on hunger and thirst. But more than that, after a year and a half in Japan, I was actually beginning to find food interesting. Whereas the British will break the ice at parties by talking about the weather, the Japanese tend to dwell on matters culinary, and I have therefore had numerous and minutely detailed discussions about dietary habits, chopstick technique, and what on earth baked beans and Marmite could possibly taste like. The Japanese are even in the habit of taking pictures of their food, and when someone shows you their holiday snaps, you are just as likely to see mouth-watering platters of sushi or bowls of noodles as a sunlit beach or a snow-capped mountain. Also, if you do happen to be going on holiday, you will almost certainly have to answer the following questions:
1) Asked before you leave: 'What do you want to eat when you get to Hawaii / Paris / Bognor Regis?'
2) Asked after a few days of your holiday have passed: 'What do you miss about the food at home?
3) Asked as the holiday draws to a close: 'What are you going to eat when you get back?'
4) Asked once the holiday is over: 'What was the most delicious / unusual / disgusting food you ate in Hawaii / Paris / Bognor Regis?'
You may think that I am being facetious in mentioning Bognor Regis, and you would be right, but there is a serious point here, which relates to the Japanese passion for regional delicacies. While the UK has its fair share of Yorkshire puddings, Cornish pasties and Welsh rarebits, for example, these are readily available elsewhere in the country. In Japan, however, such dishes are more varied and more specific to the locale in which they are produced, as well as being discussed at much greater length by the people who eat them. The Japanese distinguish between as many varieties of mushroom, seaweed or noodles as the Eskimos do between varieties of snow, and will produce countless variations on a signature dish, some of which can only be found in a single city, town or even restaurant. I was once driven by some friends from Mito for several hours with the sole purpose of visiting just such an establishment, whose menu consisted exclusively of dishes derived from yuba (湯葉), a specific variety of tofu. To me it tasted pretty much like any other kind of tofu, but the meal was treated with due reverance, conversation revolved around the subtleties of yuba, and samples of it were bought as presents, to be distributed among friends upon our return home. Even if it were possible to locate the correct ingredients, one would never dream of trying to replicate such a dish in one's own kitchen, and countless inter-regional rivalries have developed, based on the fact that each believes their own version of a dish to be superior.
Unable to read most menus, and only having learned the names of about two or three different types of seaweed thus far, I was unlikely to come across anything too obscure except by accident. Still, eating out was my one luxury for the summer, and with no desire to carry a gas stove, a saucepan and a tin plate, I intended to balance out the privations of camping and cycling with a healthy array of slap-up dinners. Tempura is one of the most palatable dishes for the westerner, and manages to be lighter than most other varieties of deep-fried food, since its batter is made using low-gluten flour and rarely contains additives like milk or beer. Visit a typical trucker's caff in the UK and your arteries will be just that little bit more constricted by the time you pay your bill, but here the food was magnificent, and cost little more than a typical fried breakfast. My tei-shoku (定食 / set meal) consisted of sticky white rice, miso soup, a plate of assorted tempura (pumpkin, aubergine, prawn, white fish and so on - meat is deep-fried in breadcrumbs and called katsu), a bowl of dipping sauce (diluted soy sauce, essentially), tsukemono and minced daikon (大根 – or mouli as we call them – large white radish), and the thing is, this kind of restaurant is not the exception in Japan, but the rule. I really should have taken a photo, it was that good.
A week ago I had only skirted the city of Kita-Kyushu, and now found myself on its main street, which was dominated by a monorail and expressway on huge concrete supports. Towering over everything, they cast such a shadow that it was like being at the bottom of a canyon, and made a grey day even gloomier. What little character I could find among the urban sprawl was manufactured, as reaching the coast, I came across a strange new harbour development called Mojiko Retro. This resembled something from Nineteenth Century New England, with a wooden boardwalk and brightly coloured buildings in the Colonial style, which was all charming enough, but there were too few visitors to give the place any kind of atmosphere, and I couldn't help feeling that the locals did their shopping somewhere else entirely.
My route to Honshu led through the Kanmon Pedestrian Tunnel, which along with the Kanmon Road Tunnel and the Kanmon Rail Tunnel passes beneath the Kanmon Straits and the Kanmon Bridge. Reaching it meant riding an elevator to more than fifty metres below ground, where the air was hot and stuffy, and the walls adorned with jaunty pictures of tropical fish. From here a rubberised pathway sloped gently downhill to the tunnel's halfway point, before sloping gently uphill again, for a total of about eight hundred metres.
My keitai told me that the chances of rain between six p.m. and midnight were ninety per cent, and it was high time I treated myself to a proper bed, so I made for Shimonoseki Youth Hostel, which was a good deal more luxurious than the sort of place in which I used to stay as a teenager. Back in the eighties, the British arm of the YHA was still espousing the virtues of co-operation, and as justification for the low cost of a bed for the night, hostellers were expected to muck in with the chores and cook their own food. Like a military barracks, a hostel's sleeping quarters typically consisted of large dormitories lined with rows of bunk beds, so you were liable to be disturbed as your fellow guests rolled in late from the pub, snored loudly, and rose the following day at the crack of dawn. In Japan at least, things had clearly progressed, and Shimonoseki Youth Hostel was equipped with free broadband, washing machines, a bath and showers, with all of the cleaning and cooking performed, hotel-like, by the proprietors. There were just four bunks per room, whose French windows afforded impressive views across the Kanmon Straits towards Kyushu, and the only downside was a nine thirty p.m. curfew. This meant that I would have to hurry if I was to go out for an evening meal (dinner was already over by the time I arrived), but in keeping with the spirit of YHA altruism, there was also no risk that I would disturb my roommates at some ungodly hour of the night.
Venturing into the backstreets I found a fish restaurant, and since the menu was largely incomprehensible, allowed the chef to prepare whatever he thought was the most appropriate meal for a starving cyclist. Beer in hand, I was keen to find someone to talk to, and turned to the person sitting next to me at the bar, a middle-aged man in work overalls with greying hair. Hunched over his own drink and reluctant to make eye contact, he was initially unforthcoming, although I did manage to glean from him that he worked as a rice farmer. Given the almost holy reverance that people have for rice in Japan – particularly of the home-produced variety – I suggested to him that this must be a very important job, but he was cagey about the details, except to say that it involved getting up very early indeed. Once we had changed the subject, however, he began to relax a little, and was soon cracking jokes with the chef about my ability to eat such an unusual dish – in this case a kind of risotto soup containing fish and vegetables. If I wanted to take in a bit of culture as well, he said, there was a firework display the following evening for which I ought to stick around. Such displays can make their overseas equivalent look paltry by comparison, but I was reluctant to take another day off so soon after Mount Aso, and Shimonoseki didn't strike me as quite such a stimulating place in which to spend one. Checking my watch, I realised the curfew was imminent, and wolfed down the rest of my dinner before paying the bill. I was just unlocking the Mariposa outside when the farmer reappeared.
'Do you fancy another drink?' he asked.
'I haven't got much time, actually. I'm supposed to be back at the youth hostel by nine thirty.'
'Only I've got some beers in the fridge back at my place. It's not a particularly big apartment, but we can watch a bit of TV or something.' Now that he was standing up, it became clear that he had been drinking for some time, and that more beer might not be such a good idea.
'I'd like to, but then I wouldn't have anywhere to sleep, and all of my stuff is at the youth hostel.'
'Come on. The curfew doesn't matter. They'll still let you in.'
'I don't know, they seemed pretty strict about it to me.'
Sensing my reluctance, the farmer began to propound his theory that we were, in fact, soul brothers. 'You know, the English and the Japanese have a lot in common. We're the same inside, we have a strong heart.' He grabbed my sleeve with one hand and pounded his chest with the other as if to emphasise the point.
'Oh yes. I like the Japanese. They're very kind and generous. We're, er…we're very similar.'
'How about watching the fireworks tomorrow, then?'
'Look, I've really got to go, otherwise they'll lock the doors on me.'
'We can meet in that bar over the road.' He pointed towards a brightly lit building at the water's edge. 'It's the perfect place to see them from.'
'I'm not sure I'll still be here…' I was on the Mariposa now, pedalling along the pavement as the farmer jogged to keep up.
'I'll be there about eight o'clock.'
'Right. Eight o'clock. Might see you there.'
I felt a little guilty as I sped away from my new best friend, and hoped that he wouldn't mind too much when I failed to turn up for the fireworks, or better still, that the shock of getting up early for work would serve to blank out his memory of our meeting altogether.
It was a quarter to ten by the time I got back to the youth hostel, where the doors, I was interested to note, were still open, and while I was waiting for another guest to finish using the computer, the hostel's manager came over for a chat. I asked him about a faded photograph on the noticeboard that depicted him in his younger days, standing in what could have been the Sahara desert or some Andean plateau, next to an old-style touring bicycle whose front and back panniers were laden with gear. Over the course of two years, he explained, he had circumnavigated the globe, visiting some fifty countries along the way, although these days he appeared content to live vicariously through his guests. After little more than a week on the road, the thought of a round-the-world trip did indeed make me jealous, and I presented him with my Kyushu Mapple as a gift, which he added to the youth hostel's modest library. He said that I would need to be up for breakfast at eight, so I turned in early, to sleep indoors, under real sheets, on a real mattress, and in a real bed, for the first time since leaving Mito.

The biggest splash this site has ever made was when we wrote about the ability to buying Icelandair Saga points to redeem for cheap first class tickets to Hawaii. It was so successful that Icelandair stopped allowing it.
Gary at View from the Wing reports that Icelandair will allow points redemptions on Alaska Airlines again beginning January 20th, though at higher rates. Continental US and Canada are 25,000 miles for coach and 50,000 for First; Hawaii & Mexico are 40,000 in coach and 80,000 in First. Previously it was 20,000/30,000 for all flights.
You can buy Saga points at roughly
$1.23 $.0123 per mile (I was an English major, sorry). That means that you can buy domestic first class tickets for $615 round trip within the US (assuming there's availability for award tickets). That's a pretty good deal in many cases.
This is also good news for everyone who found themselves stuck with Icelandair Saga points.
Happy to answer any questions.
