The Grand Sahid Hotel is by far my favorite hotel in Jakarta. The renovated modern deluxe room are nice and you still feel you are in Indonesia. The staff is in my opinion the most friendly and helpful I have encountered anywhere. The breakfast buffets is excellent. Taxi or bus get you to Grand Indonesia Mall or Plaza Indonesia or anywhere downtown quickly. They have a very reasonably priced family massage business ("Bersih Sehat") on location and the smaller Citywalk Mall with multiple good food options is right behind the hotel (2 min walk). If I stay in Jakarta, I always try to find a room here first.

The employees are so humble and fast respond, especially mr. Supriyadi, that helped my frienda and i pick up our bags and other things to our room. I stayed at room 705 for 3 nights and 4 days. Really comfy beds, and the best part is, it has warm water!!!! It was indeed a perfect stay :)

Less than a mile away are the shops of Antique Row, the renowned Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Rodin Museum, home to an extensive collection of the French sculptor's work. A 10-minute drive takes you to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.
Philadelphia's Center City: Historic Landmarks and Museums
The historic Center City neighborhood, also known as downtown Philadelphia, dates back to the city's founding in 1682. Today, Center City is Philadelphia's central business district, with several skyscrapers and high-profile museums. The neighborhood is also home to Independence National Historical Park, whose high concentration of notable landmarks make it America's most historic square mile. While you're here, visit Independence Hall—birthplace of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution—or head to the Liberty Bell Center to see the approximately 2,000-pound bell that Martha Washington famously rang to let George know when supper was ready. At the north end of the park, the National Constitution Center features a multimedia presentation on the country's founding displayed on a 360-degree domed ceiling, as well as galleries of artifacts, including a rare copy of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The shops of Historic Antique Row are less than a mile from here. The small, locally owned shops stock everything from oriental rugs to vintage clothing. Head about 15 minutes northwest to scale the famous steps outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Rocky Balboa once pumped his fists victoriously. Inside, the massive museum's holdings range from ancient Chinese art to famous paintings from Claude Monet, Salvador DalÃ, and Vincent van Gogh.

Click here to download Final Report on the Core Elements of a Framework for Implementation of the National Integrated Coastal Zone Management Policy in Tobago (Adobe PDF 1.42MB)
In terms of climate hazards, Trinidad and Tobago will, presumably, undergo higher tropical storm (TS) frequency and the effects derived from them: coastal flooding, wind and rainfall. Additionally the island will likely experience sea level rise and more frequent and intense droughts. In this report, the potential hazards due to climate change are presented, the economic effects of climate change in Trinidad and Tobago are calculated, the actions to mitigate the losses caused by climate change are proposed, and their economic costs and benefits are analyzed.

Many game manufacturers such as Nintendo and Xbox use a combination of Phillips-head and tri-wing head screws to close the system's case. They do this to deter people from opening up their game systems and possibly damaging the circuitry. If you work on your own game systems or just wish to change your case, you must remove these screws. The tri-wing screw is similar to a Phillips-head except that it only has three slots instead of four. The best way to remove these screws is to purchase a screwdriver specially designed for the tri-wing.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Tri-wing screwdriver
- Small flathead screwdriver
Show MoreHide
- 1
Purchase a tri-wing screwdriver from a electronics repair shop or online. Alternatively, find a small flathead screwdriver that fits into one of the slots on the tr-wing screw. If using a flathead screwdriver, it only needs to fit enough that you get some "bite" without stripping the head.
- 2
Unplug your game set and turn it upside down over a towel. Locate the various screws that secure the case.
- 3
Press down slightly on the screw with the screwdriver and turn counterclockwise. Once you have the screw loose, let off the pressure while continuing to turn the screw. When using a flathead screwdriver, you may have to hold the blade at an angle to get a good fit into one of the slots. The screwdriver tip will angle on one of the other slots enough that you can turn the screw.
- 4
Loosen all the tri-wing screws on the game case until all they do is spin. Turn the case over and gently tap the top of the case to release the screws.
Tips and warnings
- Opening the case of your game system may void your warranty.

Hi All, I am looking for a lightweight alternative to 'pea gravel' for backfilling to a treated wood retaining wall. I have searched the SEAOC archives, but didn't find anything. I have heard of styrofoam pellets being used as backfill, and was wondering how they might weather, or if there would be any other adverse consequences (like raccoons eating them). Thanks in advance, -Greg Leyh www.lod.org

The Challenge
The Viking March will take place in Copenhagen on September 3rd 2016. Walk 100 kilometres in less than 24 hours. The body reaches its limits but you can conquer the challenge if you are in decent shape and willing to take on an adventure. The true battle is in your mind.

General Questions
What is the composition of the track?
The track will be changed this year.
The underground is mainly gravel, soft forest underground, asphalt and cobblestones. You will march through forests, fields and small villages. You will also pass by some beautiful lakes, however, you will probably not be in the mood to take a swim.
How do I find the track? Are there maps/a GPS?
You will receive a map that shows the whole track and more detailed maps for each part of the track. In addition, you receive a very detailed description where you find each turn on the track. Furthermore, you receive the whole description on MP3-files. Like that you can use your MP3 Player in the middle of the forest as a navigation tool. Of course all track posts and exit points are pointed out on the maps. In case that you get lost on the track you can always call us and we will help you to get back on track. We also offer GPS Tracks that you can download to be led through the whole track.
How do I get back to Berlin?
The finish line is directly located at the train station in Gusow. From there you can catch a train to Berlin that leaves every hour. The tickets cost around 6,10€ -8,20€ (30.08.2013).
Are there track posts and posts where we get food?
There are three track posts at approximately kilometre 30, 50, 70. At those posts you can refill your water so that you only have to carry that water necessary for the next part of the track. Of course, here you can also sit down and relax a bit. We only offer a limited amount of food because every participant has different requirements. However, we offer some power bars, bananas etc. at the posts.
The March
Can I also run the Viking?
The Viking is not a running event. The opening times at the posts are in accordance with the average walking speed.
Do we walk in groups or alone?
Every participant can choose his own walking speed. However, we ask you to find a partner who walks with you. Like that, you can support each other in case of an emergency and it is more fun for both. If you don't have a friend who wants to join, you can always find a group that you can join for the march.
What happens if I cannot walk any more?
If you realize that you cannot walk anymore because you are injured, or any other similar reason, you should quit the march. We have marked different exit points on the track that exist apart from the track posts. On those exit points there are either busses or trains that go directly to Berlin. If it is impossible for you to reach the next exit point, we will send someone to pick you up and bring you to the next exit point. That costs 20€ to prevent everyone from doing that and because we only have a limited amount of drivers and cars.
What should I have in my backpack?
You should always have enough food and water in your bag. Rain clothes and plasters for blisters also make a lot of sense. You should bring a fully charged phone and a MP3-Player for the track description.
Is the march rated? Do I get my individual finisher time?
We take the time of each finisher. However, the Viking is not a race and all that counts is finishing in less than 24 hours. Everyone finishing within 24 hours is a winner and ends up in our hall of fame.

How Google and Others Are Using Data Science to Speed Up Productivity
By Raj On February 15, 2015 · Leave a Comment
I've decided to start blogging on LinkedIn and cross-posting here. My most recent post on productivity and data science.
Email, calendar and productivity were vastly different in the 90s. Phone calls were still the norm and the "You've Got Mail" ringtone was a delight versus a chore. Fast-forward to today: we are in information overload. I have 7+ calendars and processes 70+ emails per day. Marry that with my Facebook generating 1500+ social media updates between each login, my Zite news feed with 100s of relevant articles and my Twitter stream with 200+ posts every hour, I have an information addiction and I can't stop….

Food Waste Composting Legislation Jen Walling Office of State Senator Heather Steans 7 th District
Problem It is very difficult and often prohibitively expensive to obtain a permit to compost food scrap commercially in Illinois because these facilities are considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under Illinois law. (415 ILCS 5/3.200) "Garbage" is waste resulting from the handling, processing, preparation, cooking, and consumption of food, and wastes from the handling, processing, storage, and sale of produce.
Pollution Control Facilities Facilities that are required to receive a permit under pollution control facility regulations include: Sanitary Landfills Hazardous Waste and Waste Storage sites Waste Transfer Station Waste Incinerators Facilities that are exempt from pollution control facility permitting include: Landscape waste composting facilities and landscape waste compost processing facilities Food scrap composting facilities that only compost food generated on site Certain coal combustion and scrap tire collection facilities Recycling facilities
Garbage Sec. 3.200. Garbage. "Garbage" is waste resulting from the handling, processing, preparation, cooking, and consumption of food, and wastes from the handling, processing, storage, and sale of produce.
Solution SB99, a bill introduced by State Senator Heather Steans, recently passed both the Illinois House and Senate and was signed by the Governor. View full text at www.ilga.gov
Organic Waste Composting Facilities There are 267 food scrap composting facilities in the United States (according to BioCycle magazine). In Illinois, yard waste is prohibited from landfill disposal.
Exemptions On-site composting which use the compost on-site.
New Definition of "Food Scrap" Sec. 3.197. Food scrap. "Food scrap" means garbage that is ▫(i) capable of being decomposed into compost by composting, ▫(ii) separated by the generator from other waste, including, but not limited to, garbage that is not capable of being decomposed into compost by composting, and ▫(iii) managed separately from other waste, including, but not limited to, garbage that is not capable of being decomposed into compost by composting. "Food scrap" includes, but is not limited to, packaging, utensils, and food containers composed of readily biodegradable material. For the purposes of this Section, packaging, utensils, and food containers are readily biodegradable if they meet the ASTM D6400 standard.
Siting Requirements Include a setback of at least 200 feet from the nearest potable water supply well Locate outside of the 10-year floodplain boundary or be floodproofed. Locate at least 1/8 mile from the nearest residence. Locate at least 1/8 mile from facilities that treat people that are immunocompromised or immunosuppressed. Locate at least 1/8 mile from primary and secondary schools and adjacent areas that schools use for recreation. Locate at least 1/8 mile from child care facilities and pre-schools.
Notice Requirements Under this bill, the compost company must provide the following types of notice. In person or by mail to the members of the General Assembly from the legislative district in which the proposed facility is to be located. By registered or certified mail to the owners of all real property located within 250 feet of the site of the proposed facility. To the general public by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the proposed facility is to be located.
Bring Composting to Your Community. Backyard composting On-site composting Community Composting Curbside Composting Encourage use of compost
Senator A. J. Wilhelmi passed SB1932 which would require the state of Illinois to use compost in landscaping whenever feasible. Municipalities can use compost in landscaping, construction, and road projects
Backyard Subsidize sale of backyard compost bins. Offer information/workshops on backyard and indoor composting. Review backyard composting ordinances.
On Site Composting Generally, no permit required if below a certain size, accepts only material from on-site and material is used on-site. Worm Composting at SIU Available at http://www.standingupforillinois.org/green/sus_uni_detail.php?school _name=Southern%20Illinois%20University%20Carbondale
Community Composting Drop-off centers managed by a non-profit, municipality, or volunteers. "Garden compost operation" means an operation which (1) has no more than 25 cubic yards of landscape waste, composting material or end-product compost on-site at any one time and (2) is not engaging in commercial activity.
Curbside Pick Up Cities like San Francisco and Ottawa, Canada have a three cart system to pick up organics curbside. Businesses can also contract to have organic waste picked up. Often, restaurants average more than 85% organic waste.
Future challenges -Build the market for the sale and use of compost in Illinois. -Develop organic waste compost quality standards for Illinois
Thank you to… Kay McKeen and SCARCE, Senator Pam Althoff, Representative Sandy Pihos, Representative Harry Osterman, Environmental Law and Policy Center, Land and Lakes, Chicago Green Restaurant Co-op, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, National Solid Waste Management Association, Environment Illinois, Solid Waste Agency of Lake County, Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County, and many more organizations.

This page is about skydiving and sport parachuting. Freefall and jumping out
of planes and balloons is included. You might consider that peripheral interests are skydiving
equipment such as parachute canopies, rigs and harnesses, jump suits and alimeters, goggles
and helmets. People looking at this page may also be interested in skydiving videos and
freefall camera work. Free flying and canopy formation events and records are
part of the sport too, as is classical and sports accuracy.
The interest is not regional and has a world wide appeal, so it is of as
much interest to skydivers in Australia and New Zealand as to parachutists
in Europe and the USA. Age is no barrier, except that to join the Parachutists
Over Phorty societs you have to be older than forty and similarly with the
sykdivers over sixty, jumpers over seventy and jumpers over eights societies
This page is not about music or pop groups, bands. It is not about pop-tarts or picnics,
lollipops, popsicles or other confectionery, cookies, candy or sweets. Ignore POPS .
It has nothing to do with CDs DVDs or records. Tandems are not particularly relevant either.

Mon Apr 24 2017Free Speech Radio News to Shut Down
Long a go-to news source for community and independent radio stations across the country, Free Speech Radio News (FSRN) will permanently shut down at the end of April. For seventeen years, FSRN has broadcast stories documenting repression and corruption while highlighting the individuals, campaigns and movements working to bring about a more just and equitable society. Paul Riismandel writes: The loss of FSRN is truly tragic. FSRN has been dedicated to truly grassroots reporting that emphasizes local voices on the ground, with a focus on social justice.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump said he would release his taxes, but that he couldn't until a supposed IRS audit concluded. Trump continues to refuse to release his tax returns, despite mounting questions regarding conflicts of interest and how much he might be beholden to those representing foreign powers such as Russian oligarchs. Protesters gathered in over 150 cities on April 15, the traditional tax filing deadline, to demand that Trump release his taxes. In Northern California, Tax Day protests were held in Santa Cruz, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Walnut Creek, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Ukiah, and other cities.

Thu Apr 13 2017 (Updated 04/15/17)Campaign for Sensible Transportation Proposes a Commuter Benefits Programs
The Campaign for Sensible Transportation states: The City of Santa Cruz is proposing to build a new five-level parking garage above a new relocated city library on the parking lot bordered by Lincoln, Cedar and Cathcart Streets, where the Farmer's Market currently meets. The City should implement a Commuter Benefits Program first, before it considers the construction of a much more costly garage. The Campaign is urging the City to follow the recommendations of its parking consultants: Offer incentives to people who work downtown to get to work on bus, carpool, bicycle and walking. This is a less costly and more environmentally sound way to increase customer parking than building another garage.

Sony created a massive splash with their second version of the NEX series of cameras. These cameras were built to fill the need of the market place that has a want for clear, sharp and crisp images, but do not enjoy lugging a heavy SLR camera. This segment of the market consist of vacationing households, or groups that are as well "cool" to carry a bigger camera. The Sony Alpha NEX-five may be the answer that they are searching for.
So that we are clear this Sony Alpha NEX-five Assessment starts by stating that this is not an SLR camera, nor was it intended to be. The size of the camera compares favorably to a point and shoot, but with the NEX-5 you have manual controls and you can also adjust the lens. In addition the NEX uses the identical 14.3 megapixles image sensor that is discovered in digital SLR cameras. This function provides you the advantage of taking breath taking photographs with remarkable colour and sharpness.
By comparison, the Olympus and Panasonic cameras in the "micro 4 thirds" format use an image sensor that is 13 times smaller to obtain it's compact size. The sacrifice of size for high quality pictures is noticeable in these models. They give you wonderful images but the footprint of the camera is bigger.
I did not notice it, but there have been complaints about the removable flash accessory that connects with a thumb screw. Some are saying that the flash accessory is below par simply because it hardly produces any light. Most of these complaints are from owners of SLR cameras but it is worth noting. I didn't locate the flash to be insufficient for my use. The flash is little and is only flipped up when you need it.
An additional drawback for me is the LCD screen. It is utilized as both a viewer and to adjust the menu setting. This can prove to be rather awkward. Positive, there are ample automatic setting, but the manual setting is exactly where this camera shines.
The building of the camera did not enable for a lot of controls to built into the camera body. This is anything that I had to get utilised to. Once again, I guess that this is my SLR snobbery shining in.
Initially I balked at the price of $ 699. My considering was that you can get an SLR camera for that price. I can't get an SLR camera that is this light and this size for this cost, so that place it all in viewpoint. The truth is that I spent too much time seeking for flaws and trying to examine the camera to my Olympus e-30.
The cost seems about right for a prime of the line camera in it really is class. I must have focused on the 1080p higher def video, the capacity to take successive panoramic shoots, and the capacity to adjust lenses to capture shots that until now were only imaginable. All of these functions are included in a package that is modest, light, and simple to handle.

Posted in New Goods, Worthy things, From the Road
By Mark V
Tags: peach jam, County Fair
It was the middle of September and with a blue ribbon in the bag, and a hankering to see something through, there were big decisions needing to be made, quick. With the dry summer here in Colorado, prime peach picking season came early and we had to decide how much to get. Working on a secret recipe for many years now we knew we had to go big or go home. So we ordered some jars, borrowed a truck, packed some snacks, put the dog (Halle) in the back and started our road trip to the other side of the Rocky's.
Our destination; Paonia Colorado. A small town on the western slope filled with valleys of orchards, vineyards and grazing horses. The perfect summer day in the mountains with no agenda but to pick as many peaches as we thought we could.
And boy did we. In fact we kept going till the truck was full.
Meanwile, Halle took it upon herself to stay busy by swimming just about the entire time we were picking.
Near sundown we were all picked out. So we packed up and started our journey back to Denver. Since we picked these peaches at the peak of freshness we had to act fast. This meant we were off to the commisary kitchen the very next day.
Once in the kitchen it was a whole mess of choppin'. Special thanks to Ross Evertson and Deb Fox for a bunch of help.
Future brandy?
Heaping handfuls of whole delicious Madagascar vanilla bean.
Our key ingrediants (Colorado peaches, fresh lime juice, fresh Vanilla Bean and locally distilled Leopold Bro's whiskey) all mixed up the first batch is ready for the stove.
And the result of a lot of hard work, years of testing, and the best ingredients. This is our limited seasonal release of our Denver County Fair blue ribbon award winning Colorado Whiskey Peach Deliciousness. We didn't make much so do yourself a favor and get some quick. Watch out though..you'll be yearning for more before we have more peaches probably.....
