The month of April is National Fair Housing month. In April 1968, at the urging of President Lyndon B. Johnson, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968 commonly know as the Fair Housing Act, one week after the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When the Fair Housing Act of 1968 was first enacted, it prohibited discrimination only on the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin. It was expanded in 1974 to include gender and again in 1988 to protect people with disabilities and families with children.
The Fair Rent Commission City of New Haven is the municipal department which administers and enforces the Fair Housing Act for the City of New Haven. Individuals who feel they have experienced housing discrimination can file a complaint with the Fair Rent Commission Fair Housing Program. For additional information you may log on to the City of New Haven Fair Rent Commission webpage at:
or by calling (203) 946-8156.

Revolution the Only Remedy for Slavery
Published anonymously in 1855 by the American Anti-Slavery Society's tract series, this text was written by Stephen Symonds Foster. Digitized by the Antislavery Literature Project.
Stephen Symons Foster (1809-1881) was a New Hampshire abolitionist with a reputation for a dramatic and aggressive style. He helped establish the New Hampshire Anti-Slavery Society and belonged to the 'New Hampshire radicals' group within the American Anti-Slavery Society, a group that included Parker Pillsbury. Many abolitionists thought him too extreme. A former seminary student, the role of churches in supporting slavery particularly exercised Foster. He was expelled from his Congregationalist church in Hanover, New Hampshire in 1841 for radicalism, and was well-known for interrupting services to denounce church complicity in slavery. He campaigned as an antislavery agent from the late 1830s through the 1850s; on various occasions his speaking appearances caused local riots. His single book, The Brotherhood of Thieves; or A True Picture of the American Church and Clergy: A Letter to Nathaniel Barney, of Nantucket (Concord, NH: P. Pillsbury, 1843), went through twenty editions. In 1845, Foster married Abby Kelley, whose fame as an antislavery and women's suffrage activist easily eclipsed his own reputation, and moved to her farm in Worcester, Massachusetts, from where the couple conducted their political activities. For further, see Troy Duncan and Chris Dixon, "Denouncing the Brotherhood of Thieves: Stephen Symonds Foster's Critique of the Anti-Abolitionist Clergy," Civil War History 47 (2001) 2: 97-117.

My Only Song - Poem by Kelly Zion
Baby, we throw everything away,
but Baby, I'll always call you Baby
Baby, you're my hideaway
to you I dedicate my life
so I'll throw away all the pain,
see if I can't learn to sing
but Baby, I'll never throw you away
I'm not worth anything
but Baby, you're my everything
you make this life worth living
and Baby, you know everyday
you show me how to spread my wings
a broken bird can overcome
a broken bird can learn a song
a broken bird can heal.
Well, I was a broken bird for years
living in a broken mirror,
but Baby, you erased my tears
you helped me to face my fears
and I grew new feathers
you showed me the open skies
you taught me how to fly
and I became a murrelet
I jumped off the cliff
and ran until I reached the river
now I am safe forever
and I sing my own songs,
Yes, home is where you belong.
Baby, I throw a lot of things away,
Baby, I don't let them get to me
Baby, I might throw everything away
because Baby, you're the only everything I need
you're the only one who is really sweet
Baby, you're my only song,
My Baby, Tim McGraw.

Still Talking: Zoning Panel Approves Extension
The D.C. Zoning Commission approved a 60-day extension for comments for Georgetown University's 2010-2020 Campus Plan.
Now in private discussions, local residents with university representatives asked for the extension, which now allows for testimony on the plan to be filed in the middle of June.
"We hope to come to some compromises on what the community needs and what the university needs," Jennifer Altemus, president of the Citizens Association of Georgetown, told the campus newspaper, the Hoya. "I think both of our sides are very clear on what we've been wanting out of the process, and hopefully if we work together we can make that happen. [Private meetings] haven't been successful in the past, but we haven't given up trying."

Having spent the last three and a half years in South Korea, I feel more comfortable giving advice about this country than any other. Here is where I first contracted the infamous 'travel bug.' I make a point to try to visit something new almost every weekend, resulting in a wealth of information which I hope to share on this page. I have put together this 'South Korea Travel Guide' with first time visitors as well as expats / long-term visitors in mind. Since many of the suggestions assume knowledge of the Seoul Subway System, to start, here is the map:
South Korea has over 3000 years of civilized history packed into a tiny country of 50 million inhabitants. Because of its small size and geography, I have broken this page up into nine sections:
Sections 1-4: Things To Do – Based On Location (from Seoul)
(1) Within Seoul City (With a map of the top 30 things)
(2) Day-Trip From Seoul (Map provided)
(3) Two-Day Trip from Seoul (Map provided)
(4) Jeju Island (Map provided)
Sections 5-6: Things To Do – NOT Based on Location (from Seoul)
(5) Things With Multiple Locations (i.e. Food To Eat/ World Heritage Sites with Multiple Locations)
(6) Festivals (Full calendar provided)
Sections 7-9: Tips, Suggested Itineraries, and Accommodations
(7) Tips, Suggestions, and Extra Information
(8) Suggested Itineraries and Travel Routes
(9) Accommodations Feel free to skip down to whatever section fits your needs.
Section 1: Within Seoul City
Most likely, even if you aren't planning it, you will have to pass by Seoul, the capital of South Korea because the two main international airports (Incheon and Gimpo International Airports) are located adjacent to it. Not only is this a good thing, but I would even make the claim that if you ONLY visit Seoul, your trip would still be worth it. (Of course, that is just my opinion)
Start by checking out this list of the top 30 things to do in Seoul, the most comprehensive list of its kind: *
Seoul Top 30 (1-10) [must do]
Seoul Top 30 (11-20) [should do]
Seoul Top 30 (21-30) [do if you have the time]
And check out this map to help you plan your trip:
View larger map
Some of the items on the top 30 list have their own, more detailed articles found here:
Jongmyo Shrine [UNESCO World Heritage Site]
Three Things to do Near Express Bus Terminal
Three More Things to do Near Express Bus Terminal
Section 2: Day-Trip From Seoul
There are plenty of things to do near Seoul as well. While you can spend as little as a few hours or as much as a weekend on some of these places, I feel that geographically, they are far enough to warrant a full day trip, but not so far as to warrant an entire weekend. If you are passionate about World Heritage Sites, read this review first:
Royal Tombs of King Sejong and King Hyojong [UNESCO World Heritage Site] But also consider these places in no particular order:
1) Chuncheon – is the east-most stop in the entire Seoul Subway Network (Chuncheon Station). While I wouldn't call any of its "to do things" (found in the station pamphlets upon arrival) world-class, the food is certainly worth the 2-hour subway ride. Dak Galbi (pic) was created in Chuncheon in the late 1950s with the first restaurant still in operation. To get here, take the "Gyeongchun/ITX/Chuncheon" (yes, it has 3 names) from any of its stops (look at the subway map in the intro) all the way to the last stop "Chuncheon Station." From here, you can take a cab ($2 USD) or bus ($1) to "Myeong-dong" where the nearest "Dak Galbi Street" is located. I have eaten in about seven of the restaurants (~$8 a person) and have never been disappointed. If you see a long line, that is a good sign.
2) Suwon Hwaseong (Fortress) – Another UNESCO world heritage site is located in Suwon, a city directly south of Seoul. This is the best preserved fortress wall in Korea. Arriving is easy since it lies on the Seoul Subway Network (blue line 1) about an hour and twenty minutes south of Seoul Station. Get off on "Suwon Station" and take a bus (there is more than one, ask in the information desks at Suwon Station) or a cab ($2-3) to "Suwon Hwaseong, Jangan-Mun." 'Jangan-mun' is the northern gate which has the best views of the fortress if you have limited time. However, I suggest you spend your whole day here and try to hike the entire wall (about 5km in circumference). The late night views are just as beautiful when the entire wall lights up. Furthermore, near the north east gate is an 'archery range' where, for a small fee, you can try to shoot some Korean bows and arrows. Professional archers also frequent this range so if you call in advance, you can see the pros shoot the very distant targets. Near the center of the fortress, along the main street, there is also a small palace with amazing tile art on the floor, and a huge golden Buddha nearby.
3) Namhansanseong Fortress – Listed as one of the potential World Heritage Sites of Korea, this is another well preserved fortress that is original. It is mostly known as the hometown of the Baekje Kingdom founder, Onjo (more meaningful if you know Korean history). It is a fantastic wall that encircles the town in the middle as well as the 'emergency palace' of Haenggung (map). One great thing about this particular wall is how few people actually hike it. I expected to see a lot more people considering how many were immediately outside of the subway station. To arrive, you can take the subway to "Namhansanseong Station," take a local bus to the entrance, and hike (about an hour) to the wall (you will see a TON of people, but you can also ask for directions at the Namhansanseong Station). Another, more direct option is to go to "Sanseong Station" and take exit 2. Take bus 9 all the way to 'Namhansanseong' (the last stop where everyone will get off). This will drop you off very near the palace, and a 10 minute walk to the south or north entrances to the wall. (Here are more details)
4) Ganghwa Dolmen Sites – This is yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site, and definitely the hardest one to access (out of all 45 I have visited). Complete directions are on the main link. About an hour and a half north-west of central Seoul are the 'Dolmen Sites,' dozens of pre-historic burial sites analogous to Stonehenge (the type of tomb, not the grandeur). Because they are considered sacred, they were restored but never moved, so they are scattered across the entire (quite large) region. This means that all tombs are about a 30 minute walk apart from each other. It is highly recommended that you rent either a scooter or a car if you want to visit them all as public transportation is extremely infrequent and unreliable in this area. Nonetheless, they are an integral part of South Korea's history as they are the oldest signs of organized culture on the peninsula. In fact, this type of tomb, on a world scale, is the oldest known sign of higher-thinking for our species as a whole. (If you insist on checking this WHS off your list, but not going through the trouble, check out section 5 for an alternative)

Section 3: Two-Day Trip From Seoul
While a lot of these are definitely do-able in a single day (and cheaper, read section 7), it is recommended that you take your time and not try to rush them into "day trips." If you have an extended period of time in Korea just for traveling (and don't have to work, like me), it is also possible to combine some of these without having to return to Seoul (see section 8).
Start by checking these out these detailed articles on World Heritage Sites far from Seoul:
WHS1) Haeinsa and the Tripitaka Koreana [UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the 'Three 'Jewel Temples of Korea']
WHS2) Gyeongju Historical Areas [UNESCO World Heritage Site]
But also consider these places in no particular order:
1) Hahoe and/or Yangdong Folk Villages: Recently listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites (joint entry, see section 5), these folk villages show what a traditional town looked like during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1911). Hahoe has a yearly mask festival (see section 7) and Yangdong is very close to Gyeongju, so a combined trip can be easily done.
2) Yeosu: As one of the southern most points in Korea, Yeosu is not exactly around the corner. However, in 2012, it was chosen as the site of the 2012 World Expo which prompted a bullet train (KTX) station to be built. Now, there are lines from Seoul which take about three hours (one transfer). Yeosu has three main things to see: -> Jinnamgwan Hall – was the headquarters of the Korean hero Admiral Yi Sun-Shin, who is considered by some as pretty much the biggest bad ass in Asian military history. Yi Sun-Shin built his famous "turtle ships" in Yeosu to defeat the invading Japanese fleet. In the Battle of Myeongnyang, 13 Korean turtle ships led by the Admiral destroyed a Japanese Fleet of 333 warships, one of the greatest "against all odds" battles of all time. -> Yeosu Aquaplanet – is the second biggest aquarium in Korea. You can see Beluga Whales in this state of the art facility build for the 2012 Expo. -> Sado Fossil Sites – are a set of dinosaur fossils found on islands in the Yeosu Area. They are on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage List.
3) Kongju – used to be the capital city of the Baekje Kingdom, one of the powers during the three-kingdom period. It is surprising how many cool things there are in Konju which is why they are also on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage List. You can walk around the fortress wall (which is perfectly restored), visit the Tomb of King Muyeong of Baekje, check out the National Baekje Museum (next to the tomb), or visit Magoksa Temple, one of the most famous temples in Korea.
4) Busan: As the second most populated city in South Korea, Busan gets a lot of attention by locals and foreigners alike. Busan has some great market places (especially seafood), good views on some of its "sky-walks" along the coast, and a great nightlife which goes well with its overall laid back atmosphere. Don't be fooled, however, by spotty advice (especially from the Korean Tourism Department) into thinking it's a world-class beach city. Busan's beaches are dirty, usually cold (like LA's), and always extremely crowded. If you must go to a beach in South Korea, wait until you go to Jeju Island (section 4) or the east coast.
5) Samcheok: The two most famous and probably most extensive caves outside of Jeju are found in Samcheok. While other gimmicky attractions exist in this tiny town (like a rail-car bike), the caves of Daegeumgul and Hwanseongul are the main reason to visit. There are also less crowded beaches nearby which are also far cleaner than the ones found in Busan.
6) Wolchulsan National Park: (click the link for the full article)
7) Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple: As the best known UNESCO World Heritage Site outside of Seoul, Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto get their fair share of visitors. Bulguksa is one of the largest and most beautiful Buddhist temples in Korea. It was first build almost 1500 years ago and contains more than seven Korean National Treasures. While it is very crowded, it is definitely worth it.

Section 4: Jeju Island
There are only two main parts of South Korea that, while accessible over a weekend, realistically require more time. Those two parts are the Shinan Archipelago and Jeju Island. Let me be honest in saying that Shinan can be completely skipped altogether. Therefore, this section is mainly to talk about Jeju Island. Jeju Island is considered by Koreans as the "Hawaii of Korea." The craze for this island is so great, that it was voted by as one of the New7Wonders of Nature, beating out the Galapagos Islands, The Great Barrier Reef, and The Grand Canyon. While those are all very deserving (some would say more so) places to visit, don't scoff at Jeju just yet! I am the first to admit when a place is overrated, especially in Korea (i.e. Nami Island). Despite all the praise Jeju Island gets, it truly lives up to all expectations. Here are some things you can do in Jeju:
1) Mt. Halla: As the highest peak in South Korea, Hallasan has breathtaking views from the bottom, all the way to the top. Hallasan is a dormant volcano that last erupted over a thousand years ago. The top of the crater holds a freshwater lake where deer are frequently spotted. There are also some interesting species of animals and plants, including a strange, blue, cluster flower. If there is one thing you do in Jeju Island, hike Hallasan Mountain. Note: While all the hikes are awesome, not all trails go to the summit, which is a must see crater lake. The Jeju government rotates which trails reach the top for preservation, so make sure to find out before beginning your ascend. There are only 4 trails and usually 2 reach the top.
2) Beaches: Hamdeok in the north and Jungmun (check the map below) in the south are the two best beaches I experienced on my stay in Jeju (out of about eight of them). They are indeed world-class with a deep blue color from a distance and crystal clear water up-close. While Jungmun seems to be the more popular one, I thought Hamdeok was the better of the two because of its seclusion, and amazing views. Tip:If you walk to the right side of the beach (along the water), you will notice some rocks which seem like the border of the beach. The water is very shallow and you can go around these rocks to find a very picturesque section of the beach all to yourself.
3) Olles – Around the rim of the entire island are about a dozen hiking trails called 'olles.' They offer some of the best views of the shore. You can get complete maps of these Olles in Jeju Airport.
4) Volcanic Tubes – The main reason Jeju Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site is because it is a volcanic island. Over a thousand years ago, insane amounts of lava flowed through these 'lava tubes,' feeding the mouth of Mt. Halla. Now, the tubes are dry and you can walk through what was once a river of molten rock. This is truly one of the most spectacular natural sites of South Korea.
5) Maze Park – I am usually not one to go for the tourist traps, but this one is hard to resist. Jeju Island is full gimmicks (teddy bear and chocolate museums, I'm looking at you), but this one is definitely worth the $3 entrance fee. Dozens of hedges were grown and designed to make a maze (for a good cause that I can't recall), which is very similar to the one found on the fourth Harry Potter movie. It is very fun trying to get out without a map, and given its proximity to the lava tubes, you should definitely stop by.
6) Cheonjeyeon Falls – There are three famous waterfalls in Jeju's southern region: Cheonjeyeon, Cheonjiyeon, and Jeongbang Waterfalls (why they decided to name two of them almost exactly the same, I will never know). Cheonjiyeon is the biggest (by volume) and most famous of the three, don't go to this one. It is popular with Koreans because it is nicely cemented, they have installed lights, you can almost drive to it, and it is extremely developed. From the distance I was at, it didn't even look like a natural waterfall anymore. Jeongbang is worth the hike if you have time, but the real attraction is Cheonjeyeon. This waterfall makes a very unusually bright blue pool, where you are allowed to dip your feet (you're not supposed to swim in it). The waterfall also continues to another (far less crowded) fall, which (if you dare) you can hike to. I seemed to be the only one who did this, but the view was unreal from the top.
7) Seongsan Ilchulbong – This small mountain, also known as the "sunrise peak" is on the east most part of the island (where the sun rises). It is a fairly easy 45 minute climb up with some great views of the ocean, as well as the town below. [Here is a map of these areas]
View larger map
There are many more things to fill up to a few weeks on Jeju Island. While these were my favorites, make sure to get more information at the airport. They will be happy to help you. Furthermore, while public transportation exists, Jeju is far less crowded than you would expect, making public transportation scarce. It is definitely doable by public transportation, but you would be much more comfortable in a scooter (about $25 a day) or a car ($40 a day). Unlike the rest of Korea, driving in Jeju is not hard at all.
Section 5: Things With Multiple Locations
This section is for things that can be done in more than one place, or where the location (besides it being in Korea) is not that important. For now, this mostly includes food, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but I hope to add more things in later versions of this South Korea Travel Guide. If you are one of those people that travel to try new kinds of food, South Korea should be at the TOP of your list: I must admit that I have also been guilty of the ultimate food traveler's crime, eating Mc Donald's while traveling. The shame! Many times, ordering food in a foreign country is not only intimidating, but confusing. "What should I order? Is that a single or a communal meal? Would I have even asked that question in a non-Asian country? I can't even read the menu!" While it is tempting to take the easy way out to just eat something familiar. DON'T DO THIS IN KOREA! The food in Korea is divine, simply amazing, mouthwater… okay, you get the picture. If you only have a limited time, your stomach should have no room to spare for these fast food joints. I would even say that the food is so amazing, it would be a worthy time investment to make a list of what you want to eat in South Korea.
Here are some articles to get your mouth watering:
Five Best Korean Main Dishes [with links to the best places to have those meals]
Five Best Korean Snacks and Steet Foods [with links to the best places to have those snacks] … and while there is some overlap, here is another good list from Listverse:
There are some UNESCO World Heritage Sites where location isn't as important: Wait what…how can a world heritage 'site' be 'site unspecific?' I don't know how common this is world wide, but in Korea, some of the site entries are "joint-entries." This means that multiple sites count as the same UNESCO World Heritage Site. These include:
1) Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty – Let me level with you: While I did recommend the tomb to King Sejong, they are all pretty much the same. The difference is so minimal that once you've seen one, consider this site checked off. The easiest one to access is the Seolleung Tomb on either the Green or Yellow Subway Lines in Seoul.
2) Dolmen Sites – While the one in Ganghwa is the one I have been to, there are three places to see them, scattered across the country: Gochang, Hwasun, and Ganghwa (the one I talked about in section 2). A friend of mine who has been in Korea for over four years and has also extensively traveled around recommends the one in Gochang for its easier access and abundance of tombs.
3) Hahoe and Yangdong Villages – As they both are a joint entry, you can consider a visit to either one as mission accomplished! The trade offs are that Hahoe is better but farther and more difficult to access while Yangdong is easy to get to but less impressive (isn't it always like this?).
This is another, must-do experience:
Templestay – The Templestay program allows you to live life as a Buddhist monk for a day. There are about 190 temples of the 900 in Korea that participate in this program. It is generally about 50,000 won per person, and includes a place to stay and 2-3 vegetarian, Buddhist style meals. Currently, 16 of the 190 Templestay temples offer services that are guaranteed to be in English (click the links below). The official Templestay office is in Seoul (map) and their official website is found here. It is highly recommended that you try this awesome experience, as it is one of the best things to do in South Korea. The office can give you additional maps, information, and even register you for a temple stay then and there. However, if you want to plan ahead of time, here is a list of all 16 temples with links: Myogaksa, Geunsunsa, Bongeunsa, Jeondeungsa, Woljeongsa, Yongjoosa, Donghwasa, Beomeosa, Jikjisa, Golgusa, Geunsansa, Milhwangsa, Seonunsa, Yakchunsa, International Seon Center, and the one I personally tried (thus highly recommend) Haeinsa (also a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Section 6: Festivals
Few things in traveling are as annoying as getting to a place, and having someone tell you "oh, you should have come last week because…" This happened to me in Venice (suggesting I come for Carnival), in Mexico (suggesting I come during the Monarch butterfly migration, or during the equinox in Chichen Itza), and I am sure it will happen again and again. While not many of us have the luxury to pick and choose when we have time off, fortunately for you, South Korea has an insane amount of festivals to accommodate all tastes and schedules. Here are some of my favorites that have already passed, and some of the more interesting looking ones for 2013. Keep in mind that many of these change yearly based on a number of factors, including natural phenomena (i.e. flower blooming times), but this will nevertheless help you get an idea of when certain festivals take place. Each festival has a link to either an article I've written, the event website, or the official Korean English Tourism website (usually a better resource for directions) with far more information.
Festival Schedule for 2013
Jan 1st – Jeongdongjin Sunrise Festival [Official Site]
Jan 19th – 23rd – Inje Ice Fishing Festival [Official Site]

Section 7: Tips, Suggestions, and Extra Information
These are mostly tid-bits of information to make your stay in Korea a lot easier. While some long-term visitors and expats might already know some of these, it doesn't hurt to mention them anyways. First, if you're thinking about working in Korea, read my: * 10 Things I wish I Knew Before Teaching English in Korea (Guest Blog for the Site: Art of Backpacking) Otherwise, here are some general things:
1) Buy a T-money card – 'T-Money' is the public transportation card used for any bus or subway in the entire country. It can also be used for some specialty trains like the ITX to Chuncheon, the Airport Express Train, or the 'Airport Limousine' buses. One of the best uses is that transfers from buses to trains are free within a 30 minute window, so if you don't have one, and switch from bus to subway, you're paying double. They are 3,000 won at any subway station (5,000 for the key chain type, 8,000 for the cartoon character ones sold in convenience stores).
2) Get Templed Out – With almost a thousand temples in Korea, it is easy to get overwhelmed with too many to see. While I'd like to say they are all the same, I am still charmed by any new and interesting one that I find. However, to narrow down your choices, here is an awesome article by CNN on some of the best ones.
3) Learn a Little Korean – I know it is a lot to ask for short-term travelers, but it will really make your life easier, especially with ordering food. For long term expats, trust me, it will come in handy. Here is a fantastic website for learning the basics. Start with the audio files on Level 1.
4) Free English Guides – There are hundreds of free English tour volunteers registered with the tourism department. All you have to do is sign up here. They will not only make your visit to a place more in-depth, but in my experience, these guides love the chance to speak in English so don't mind just talking about non-official stuff. The line between work and social life is very blurred in Korea, so don't be afraid to ask about things like theirday jobs of hobbies. Furthermore, in pretty much every museum you walk into, look in the information desk as many offer free English guides, too.
5) Palace Package – For 10,000 won, you can buy a ticket to all four palaces in Seoul and the Jongmyo Shrine. If you read section 1, you should know that I recommend all four of the main palaces. You have a month to use this, so you can same some money in the long run.
6) Palaces Close, sometimes – Most palaces and UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Seoul close on Mondays. The Gyeongbokgung Palace however closes on Tuesdays.
7) KORAIL Pass – Two deals here for foreigners only. 1) There is 1 day pass for 58,000 won. This is great for people on a tight schedule who will be doing a lot of long distance traveling in a short time. There are also deals for multiple days. 2) There is also a deal together with the JR lines of Japan where you can buy a joint train ticket. If you are planning on visiting both Korea and Japan, this deal might be ticket for you. Check out the Korail Train Website for details.
8) Train Tickets Sell Out – Whenever there is a famous festival or event outside of Seoul, you can almost guarantee that the trains will sell out quick. If you know what you want to do ahead of time, book the tickets as soon as possible. You can always cancel up to the day of with no fee. You can even cancel up to an hour before the train with only a 400 won fee!
9) 1330 – Save the number. This is a hotline, from any Korean phone, to an English speaking person from the tourism department. They have been lifesavers many times with very accurate and up to date information. They can even help if you are lost, or need, well, pretty much anything. I also recently found out that the number is 24 hours and 365 days a year. 10) Reverse Rip-Off for Tourists – If you looked at the "free English guides" tip with skepticism, you can rest assured that there is no catch. Most countries have the 'local price' and the 'tourist price' meant to suck more money out of travelers who don't know how much things are worth. This exists in Korea too, except that the tourist price is often the cheaper of the two. Huh!?!??!?! Many places in Korea offer discounts and special deals only to foreigners in an attempt to boost tourism. The general population is, overall, very honest and will almost never scam you if you don't know the local prices or currency (with the exceptions of a few taxis). I have been offered additional discounts at the supermarket without even asking, how cool is that?
Section 8: Suggested Itineraries and Travel Routes
There was a lot of info in this South Korea travel guide, so maybe you don't know where to start. Personally, I am a planner that likes to make his own routes, but I also like seeing 'suggested itineraries.' I saw this proposed itinerary when I was planning my first trip to Osaka, Japan. While I must admit that I didn't follow it very strictly at all (especially since I didn't even start in Tokyo), it gave me an insight as to what is possible in a given time frame. Here are some suggested itineraries for you to maximize your experience in Korea with whatever time frame you may have.
One Day in Korea
* Gyeongbokgung Palace – This is the single, coolest thing to see in Seoul. It takes about two hours to look around this huge complex, which is definitely time well spent. It's central location and abundance of events make it the #1 thing I would recommend.
* Visit the National Folk Museum – This is a nice, mini version of the National Museum of Korea, the #2 best things to do in Seoul. It gives you a good run-down of Korean history, from 700,000 years ago to now. It is also conveniently located inside of Gyeongbokbung Palace.
(early evening)
* Stroll Around Sejong Street – This wonderfully picturesque street in front of Gyeongbokgung palace is one of the 'postcard pictures' you always see about Korea. It is lined with the statues of the two greatest Korean heroes, King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun Shin. I rated it the #5 best thing to do in Seoul on this list.
* Namdaemun Market – This wonderful market is a foodie's paradise. It offers a huge range of typical Korean meals, along with some great shopping of either standard souvenirs, or more traditional Korean products. The recently opened Namdaemun Gate is also one of Korea's most cherished treasures, listed as National Treasure No.1 (out of about 1000).
(night-late night)
* (option) Hongdae – If you are up for some late night partying, head to Hongdae, where some places don't close until 10 in the morning.
Three Days in Korea
Day 1: Copy the one day itinerary from above.
Day 2:
(morning – evening)
* DMZ Tour – Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that there are two Koreas. The DMZ, or De-Militarized-Zone, is the barrier dividing the two countries with countless landmines, barbwire, and multiple gates. The DMZ tour allows you to tour some of the more interesting areas along the DMZ such as Dorasan Station (a train that links the two Koreas), the 3rd tunnel (that the North Koreans were digging for invasion), and the famous (night)
* Gangnam – For some great food, shopping, and nightlife, head to Gangnam. The street from Gangnam Station (exit 11) to Sinnonhyeon Station is what hyper-consumerism is all about. There are dozens of brand name department stores along with many boutiques. Furthermore, any kind of food, Korean or otherwise can be found here. This area is why Seoul is a city of lights that never sleeps.
Day 3:
* National War Museum – After the DMZ tour, this museum gives you great insight and context into the Korean War, as well as the history of conflict on the Korean Peninsula over the last five thousand years. The outdoor part of the museum also has some awesome jets, tanks, rockets, and even a warship. While you could definitely spend a very long time, about 2-3 hours is enough to get a good feel for the museum.
(late-afternoon / early evening)
* Bongeunsa or Jogyesa Temples – Buddhism is a big part of Korean history and current values. In many ways, Korean culture has been shaped by Buddhism over the last two thousand years. The temples of Bongeunsa and Jogyesa are two of the largest in Seoul. Bongeunsa is bigger and a bit more beautiful. However, Jogyesa is the head temple of the Jogye Order of Buddhism, more centralized, and is itself, nothing to scoff at with three huge golden Buddhas in the main hall.
* Insadong – Located next to Jogyesa, insa-dong is the 'cultural center' of Seoul. While I have criticized insadong on past posts for being nothing more than a place to get souvenirs, my most recent visit (May, 2013) has changed my stance. I saw people smashing 'Ttok' (korean rice cake) with wooden mallet, a calligraphist showing off his skills in the street, and those ceramic and painting shops being more than just a facade for trinket stores. Many very small art galleries are also open to the public, and are usually free of charge. It was nice to see this site of Insadong, and I am sure you will enjoy it, too.
* Jongno – While Hongdae and Gangnam are definitely more popular, Jongno still has its charms. There is an insane amount of food options and cafes in this area. While there aren't many (if any) 'western-style bars,' it is still a very Korean experience since few foreigners (by comparison) venture into this area. Grab something to eat for dinner, and sit down for a few drinks.
Eight Days in Korea
Now it starts getting a little interesting as you have time to venture out of Seoul. Also, you don't have to cut corners too much in your list of what you want to see. If I already described a place, scroll up to read the description (instead of me writing the same thing again). Here are my suggestions for a 7-day itinerary:
Day 1:
* Gyeongbokgung Palace – (scroll up for description) *****SKIP THE FOLK MUSEUM*****
* Sejong Street – (scroll up for description)
(late afternoon / early evening)
* King Sejong and Admiral Yi Museums – Directly behind the statue of King Sejong (the golden one) is the entrance to the museums, which lie underground. These museums can teach you why these two figures are so revered in a fun and interactive play. The 4-D theater inside shows a hilarious animation on how the cool-headed Admiral Yi Sun Shin destroyed the Japanese armada, despite insane odds of 13 to 333 warships. This even prompts the Japanese commander to exclaim, "Is Yi Sun Shin truly INVINSIBLE!" (I swear this is the verbatim quote). There is also a scaled replica of a turtle ship which you can board, and a place where they can teach you how to write your name in Korean (you can try twice if you're a foreigner). (evening)
*Namdaemun Market – (scroll up for description)
* Hongdae – (scroll up for description)
Days 2-3
* Follow exactly as the Day 2 and 3 of the three-day itinerary (scroll up)
Days 4-5: (Outside of Seoul) It is time of a little road trip. While Seoul is awesome, there is much more to Korea than just one city. In fact, my #1 favorite thing I have ever seen or done in Korea is outside of Seoul and the basis for this short trip:
* Haeinsa Temple and the Tripitaka Koreana – If you don't know what these are, check out the full review here. In short, Haeinsa is one of the three most important temples in Korea, and the Tripitaka Koreana is the oldest known complete and flawless Zen Buddhist scripture, dating back 800 years. The tripitaka is a set of 80,000 wooden blocks that have to be seen to be believed. Haeinsa is located within Gayasan National Park, near Daegu City. To access it, you need to take a train or bus to Daegu, then take a bus from the bus depot in Daegu to Gayasan NP. I suggest that you also do a 'templestay,' (see sections 5, 9) to fully appreciate this wonderful place. [Head to Gyeongju from here by taking a bus from Gayasan to Daegu, then a train from Dong-Daegu Station to Gyeongju Station. Note: There are two stations in Daegu, 'Daegu Station' and 'Dong-Daegu Station.' Only DONG-DAEGU goes to Gyeongju.]
Days 6-7: (Gyeongju – Still outside of Seoul) Since you already left the comforts of Seoul, might as well keep going. Head over to the city of Gyeongju, which was once the capital of the Shilla Kingdom, one of the first unified states in Korea. It is also the home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. (morning) * Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto – (See Section 3 by scrolling up) [UNESCO World Heritage Site]
* Gyeongju Historic Areas – See this full review (or See Section 3 by scrolling up) [UNESCO World Heritage Site]
* Gyeongju Museum – When the Anapji Pond, hundreds of artifacts from the Shilla period were uncovered. Despite the looting, many of these items were preserved and are currently displayed in this new museum.
(The Next Day)
* Yangdong Folk Village – (See Section 3) [Yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site] [Head to Seoul in the afternoon / evening. It is at least 3 hours away and requires a transfer in Dong-Daegu Station. If you take the slow train, expect to take 5 hours.]
Day 8: (Back in Seoul)
(morning- evening)
* National Museum of Korea – This museum is listed as the #2 thing to do in Seoul, this museum will give you an overwhelming amount of detail about Korean history from 700,000 years ago when humans first appeared in the region, to 1911 when Korea was annexed by Japan. I have heard many people scoff that it doesn't measure up to 'elite' European museums. In my opinion, the experience is far more enjoyable here because you aren't rubbing elbows just to take a picture (The Uffizi), and the artifacts aren't stacked on top of each other (Vatican Museums). While I do admit that those are elite museums, I would definitely put the National Museum of Korea up there in the mix. (night)
* Myeongdong – As one of the major 'hyper-shopping districts' of Seoul, it is great for street food, and street vendors as well as big department stores and sit down restaurants. It is a great way to end an 8-day tour of Korea.
Section 9: Accommodations (especially in Seoul)
For me, where I stay is more of a matter of location than the actual luxury of a place, and I think I've made my position on luxury hotels quite clear here and here. While there is nothing wrong with staying at a nicer place if it is cheap, I personally have never done so in Korea, so instead, I will talk about your budget options. I think staying as close to Seoul Station or Gwanghwamun Station is your best bet [if you are staying in Seoul]. If you are traveling from abroad, the airport express train takes you directly to Seoul Station, which is both a Seoul Subway stop, and an intercity train hub. Gwanghwamun Station is also a good location (check the subway map in the introduction) since it is close to many of the things to see that I mentioned (in section 1).
Option 1: 'Love' Motels Personally, I never plan hotels/motels ahead of time in Korea unless it is absolutely necessary. When I arrive somewhere, I simply search "모텔" (motel) on my google maps app (works best if you search in Korean), and I get at least a dozen results within any bus terminal or (intercity) train station. If you have wifi (free in any Korean coffee shop), feel free not to book, really. I have only been turned away from a motel once because it was full (out of dozens of trips), and even in that case, the one across the street had rooms. If you're an expat living out of Seoul, chances are that you will also arrive by train to either Seoul Station or Yongsan Station or to one of the three bus hubs [Express Bus Terminal, Nambu Terminal, or Dong-Seoul Teminal]. If you have a phone that can type in Korean, I suggest you try the "모텔" typing approach near whatever you plan on doing. Motels are pretty much everywhere in Korea, so this tip works outside of Seoul as well. Typical budget price: ~50 USD
Option 2: Hotels / Hostels Good resources are hotels.com, hostelbookers.com, or hostelworld.com. While it might be cheaper to get a hostel, I have found that hotels.com is overall a cheaper option for 2-3 people traveling together as a room is less than the cost of 2-3 beds. Most of the places listed on these sites will speak English while the motels in option 1 most likely will not…your call. Typical budget price: ~ 25~60USD
Option 3: Couchsurfing Couchsurfing might also be a great option for people wanting to get to know locals better as Koreans are quite active on that site. Typical price: Free
Option 4: Templestays A second thing to consider is a Templestay. I already mentioned this at the end of section 5 (scroll up), but Templestays are not only one of the best experiences you can have in Korea, but could also be considered as an accommodation option for a day. Typical price: ~50-60 USD (includes vegetarian Buddhist meals) **The biggest tip I can suggest here (and I guess this goes for many other countries too) is to stay as close to a Subway Station (if in Seoul) or a Bus/Train terminal (out of Seoul) as possible. It will make your travels a lot easier** Finally: This travel blog is continuously changing, and I often post about places I visit in South Korea. Check out this "South Korea category" for the most up to date posts on Korea. There is also a YouTube channel where I post many videos on South Korea, as well as the rest of the world.

Now that's a Giant Pig...
This giant feral pig was shot on a Pilbara, Australia, cattle station after it was spotted eating a dead cow.
The picture has been circulating on the Internet alongside claims the boar was killed at various locations across the continent. It had been written off as a hoax by many, including the local Department of Environment and Conservation, and sparked much debate when published on the Web site for newspaper PerthNow.
But The Sunday Times of Australia confirmed that the pig was shot at a Pilbara cattle station near Newman, 744 miles northeast of Perth.
Sources close to the family of the man in the photo have confirmed he is Pilbara pastoralist John Anick and the picture was taken on his property three years ago.
The family refused to talk about the giant boar, for fear that illegal pig hunters would flock to the area.
The source said the beast was eating a cow when it was first seen by workers mustering cattle in a helicopter. Mr Anick saw it again on a trip to check windmills on the property and shot it.
"I can vouch 100 percent, I don't even have to say 90 percent, that it [the photo] was taken in the Pilbara and it is who I said it is," the source said.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
the transfer of service industry employment from offices to home-based employees with appropriate telephone and Internet facilities
'… a number of companies are turning to a new method to meet call center challenges: getting workers to handle calls from their homes. So-called homeshoring … can boost productivity while cutting costs …'CNET News.com 21st December 2004
'According to the study, 20 percent of the polled executives said they were "very likely" to "homeshore," or to outsource domestically.'CCNG News 10th August 2004
With the advent of the Internet and ever more advanced communications technology, the business world of the twenty-first century has increasingly exploited the benefits of moving jobs to financially attractive locations. This trend, now known as shoring, is based on the principle of establishing business activity in locations where skilled workers earn lower salaries and facilities cost less. Many major US and UK companies have moved a significant part of their employment base overseas, typically to Eastern Europe, China and India, a practice termed offshoring.
the practice of homeshoring is proving popular because it represents a cost-efficient way of supplying what is perceived to be a higher standard of service from employees who know local conditions
In a climate where offshoring is not always proving successful, often due to inefficient working practices or customer dissatisfaction with overseas call centres, companies are increasingly exploring the possibility of relocating employment to cheaper UK and US venues – a practice recently coined homeshoring.
Homeshoring is emerging as a viable alternative to offshoring for some companies, allowing the transfer of operations out of high-cost city locations and into cheaper rural areas, often by introducing a significant proportion of 'home-based' workforce. This gives companies access to employees who might not otherwise be available, especially people with mobility problems or the parents of young children. Homeshoring is proving popular because it represents a cost-efficient way of supplying what is perceived to be a higher standard of service from employees who know local conditions.
The expression homeshoring has of course been coined by analogy with offshoring, a term derived from the adjective/adverb offshore in its sense of 'relating to a foreign country'. A less transparent lexical variant of homeshoring is the word onshoring, coined as the antonym of offshoring by use of the particle on as the opposite of off, with the projected meaning 'at home' as opposed to 'in a foreign country'. Other recent coinages used in the same domain are the terms nearshoring (moving business activity to lower cost locations which are in close proximity, e.g.: from the US to Canada/Mexico), inshoring (locating business activity in cost-effective locations within the US/UK) and bestshoring (picking the best business locations according to a specific set of criteria).

Tablet app revenue could pass smartphones by 2018
0. phoneArena 15 Mar 2013, 21:02 posted on
The smartphone market obviously has something of a jump on tablets. Smartphones have been something of a natural evolution from feature phones, but tablets are a much more "new" segment of products. But, at least as far as app revenue is concerned, at least one analyst believes that we'll see tablets surpassing smartphones by 2018...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
There are many apps that have much more sense on a phone than on tablet, and vice versa.
But overall I think this has some point to it IF they put the 5.5'' + devices into a tablet category
2. Even4steven (Posts: 42; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
I am not so sure I agree, if it is just apps. Do books, movies, magazine and other media revenue count as app purchases?
For me, my phone is a 24/7 device and my tablet a couch-time luxury.

Softball Recap: Rams drop final two games of the tournament
March 3, 2013
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Colorado State softball program hosted the last day of the Colorado State Classic on Sunday, falling to Bradley in the first game, 6-5, and dropping the finale of the tournament to No. 18 Washington, 6-3.
The Rams (8-12 overall) ended the tournament with a 2-3 record, finishing third in the tourney standings behind Washington (4-0) and Nebraska Omaha (4-1). Bradley finished tied with the Rams at 2-3, but CSU edged the Braves by run differential in the tie breaker. Brown finished tournament play with an 0-5 mark.
The Rams continue play next week hosting the Northern Colorado Bears for one game on Wednesday, looking to boost their record.
Game 1: CSU 5, Bradley 6
In the Rams first game of the day, Bradley started off with 4-0 lead through the second against freshman pitcher Holly Rienke who pitched a complete game, allowing eight hits and six runs (four earned) in seven innings.
In the bottom of the third, Ashlie Ortega led off the order with a solo shot to left field. The Braves didn't allow any more runs for the inning as Alysa Greckel grounded out to second base for the last out.
Bradley scored another run in the top of the fourth, but the CSU added to its tally when Danielle Wikre and Taylor Hutton drew back-to-back walks, Kendal Butterfield singled to left field advancing the runners, before a walk by Ortega scored Wikre. Cassy Mosser singled to right field, bringing in Butterfield and Hutton in for two RBIs. With three runs on the board, the Rams cut the deficit to 5-4 through four innings.
The Rams tied the game, 5-5, in the bottom of the fifth when Hutton hit a sac fly that brought in Haley David. David was pinch running for Greckel , who singled to shortstop.
The score remained tied until the top of the seventh when Reinke threw a wild pitch that got away from junior catcher Emily Pohl, allowing the go-ahead run to cross the plate. Reinke was tagged with the loss, bringing her record to an even 3-3.
Game 2: CSU 3, Washington 6
For the final game of the Colorado State Classic, the Rams looked to boost their momentum against No. 18-ranked Washington.
The top of the first inning showed promise when junior catcher Emily Pohl caught a runner stealing and senior pitcher Kacie McCarthy struck out the next two batters. McCarthy continued to baffle the Washington hitters in the second inning, tallying two more strikeouts in the frame.
The Rams got their bats going in the bottom of the second when Wikre stepped up to the plate and blasted a solo shot, her fourth of the season. Shortly after, senior Brianna Donahue came up and hit a one run home run, giving the Rams and early lead, 2-0.
The Rams' defense faltered in the top of the third when three runs were allowed on a combination of singles, walks, a wild pitch, and an error putting the Huskies on top, 3-2.
Both teams would be kept scoreless through the fourth and the Rams kept the Huskies scoreless further going into the fifth inning. Ortega led off the bottom of the inning with a solo home run, her second of the day, to tie the game, 3-3.
"(Ortega) has a beautiful swing and she knows the game so well," Head Coach Fisher said. "That's exactly why she's in the position that she is in, she controls the infield. She has had some hiccups too, but she's going to walk in and be ready to work on anything that's needed. She'll take care of herself; she's a smart ball player.
As darkness threatened to end the game early, the Huskies scored another three runs on a two run homer by Kimberlee Souza and another homer by Whitney Jones, pushing UW's advantage to the final margin of 6-3.
McCarthy recorded the loss over seven innings, allowing nine hits and six runs (five earned), while striking out five.
"I thought we all came out strong this game and the last game; we competed with every inning, every out, and every pitch," McCarthy said. "I thought that for my part I was working on getting those pitches to get ahead of the batters."

(Translation of Paul Verlaine's quintilla: « Cauchemar ». As usual, I have tried to stick to the original's stanzaic format and rhyme scheme. T. Wignesan)
In my unfurling dream I saw it happen
- The way the hurricane lashes the strand –
A two-edged sword whirling in one hand
An hourglass in the other
This knight rider
Come coursing through Germany
Down through towns and the open country
And from the river up mountain free,
And from forests to valley lone
This stallion
Ebony black and red as flame
Sans bridle, nor bit, nor rein.
Ne'er a hup! nor crop, constrain
In the midst of deafening railing
Unfailing! Unfailing!
Long plume adorning a huge felt hat
Kept in shade his eye which up it lit
And then it dimmed. Such as in the mist
Explodes and dies this blue flash clear
The weapon fire
As when the white-tailed eagle's wing
As might by a sudden storm sting
The air streaked with snowing,
His fur coat out-raised distend
Beat back the wind,
And disclosed with an air: glory be
A torso sombre and of ivory,
While in the black night free
Through strident neighing: dazzling beneath
Thirty-two teeth.

When you want to settle a dispute without going to court, you may benefit from the services of an arbitration lawyer. In an arbitration setting, you and the other involved party select a neutral third person to serve as an arbitrator. Acting in the role of an informal judge, the arbitration lawyer listens to both sides of your dispute. Unlike a court proceeding, arbitration involves no formal procedural rules and gives you a chance to tell your story in your own words. After hearing the arguments, the arbitrator makes a final binding decision. The decision is legally enforceable if someone later tries to renege. The arbitration process is very similar to court litigation but is more casual, flexible, and private—and less expensive and time-consuming.

Greek fonts in EPS format?
Mathematica 3.0, on sun-sparc-Solaris 2.5, notebook interface.
Attempting to save a plot with Greek threw up several problems:
1) Plot[\[Mu], {\[Mu], 0, 1}, AxesLabel -> {"\[Mu]", " "\[Theta]"}];
Display["filename.eps", %, "EPS"]
In the saved eps the x and y axes labels are the letters m and q
instead of the Greek letter mu and theta. It shows up as mu in the
graph on screen. The problems seems to be that fonts are not
included in the EPS file[1].
I need the EPS format to import it to a LaTeX file (I know of some
methods to import graphics, but I prefer the eps format). Any hints?
BTW, print selection to file crashes Mathematica (segmentation fault)
often - it seems to depend on the size of the notebook - can't be sure
Thanks in advance,
[1] This was verified by printing to file with and without fonts.
With fonts gave the Greek letters for the axes, but without font, it
appeared as the Latin letter m.

5 Tips for Getting Published In A Magazine
You write powerful, attention-catching and informative articles. You should definitely not keep them to yourself. The main goal of any writer is to get published, so you should not hesitate to pursue it. Here are some ideas that will help you with getting your articles on the pages of magazines.
Try smaller magazines first. These include local as well as university ones. As a novice writer who has never been published before, you should try your luck with the small players first. This has a wide range of advantages. Your article stands a higher chance of getting noticed and published. Even if you make some errors in the submission process, the consequences will not be so great. You can get feedback more easily in case of rejection and additional credits, in case your article is approved.
Get to know the magazines audience. You have to have an idea about the theme and style of the magazine you plan to submit your article to. Getting to know their topics and stories will certainly help you find the key to the hearts of their audience. Start by reading at least three of the most recent issues. Study the subjects and stories of the articles as well as any personal letters or queries from readers.
Give them an idea they cannot reject. This is probably the hardest part. In order to grab the attention of an editor, you need to give them a truly unique story. Avoid writing a critical article, as you are not an authority. Choosing a real-life story or basing your piece on one is definitely the best approach. You should not hesitate to borrow heavily from your personal experience as well. Fiction is not wanted by most magazines.
Write a short and to the point query letter. Just structure your presentation into four paragraphs. Write a brief introduction. Start by making a compliment to the person who you are addressing. Have a short paragraph describing your article and why it should be published. Present yourself and any of your accomplishments next. Thank the editor for their attention in the final paragraph. Do not forget to leave your contact details. Keep the query letter under one page.
Use email for communication. It is not impersonal to send a query letter electronically. Quite the opposite, the chance of getting it noticed is increased dramatically. In addition, you might get a reply much more quickly than you are expecting.

Ten years ago, Suroosh Alvi, Shane Smith and Gavin McInnes came together to start the "punk zine" Voice of Montreal, which became the now-international magazine VICE. Today, Vice Media has produced countless investigative documentaries in both local and foreign arenas, and no matter the assignment, the video crews need to be prepared to be thrown into the mix and stand their ground, camera in hand.
"We're kind of self-taught in this way, where at some point we just picked up some cameras and started going," explains Vice Media's director of photography Jake Burghart in the video, but today, they choose their gear very carefully to accommodate Vice Media's immersive style. He and Jerry Ricciotti, the segment director of photography for the newly televised "VICE on HBO," show us their best on-the-job gadgets.
Traveling in small teams, Vice Media videographers need to bring lightweight, compact gear in order to be as mobile and efficient as possible when they're in the field. Burghart and Ricciotti gathered the gear that they will likely be using next week when they head to Iran for another documentary project, and the array is pretty impressive.
They use the Canon XF105 as a "specialty camera," while the Canon 5D is used for stills on their website, print edition and for promotions—plus it's a "great B-cam for interviews," says Burghart. They love the Canon XF305 for its incredibly battery power. As Riccioti says, "You can leave it turned on in the car, and if an IED were literally going to blow up on the road, at least you'd be able to start recording," which is probably testimony enough for its reliability (in less dangerous situations, too). The especially impressive gear they show us is their rig cameras. Burghart and Ricciotti have pretty different rig setups, but they both have the invaluable ability to record and stop record, adjust the iris and magnify the focus on the grip to maximize stability and readiness, without ever having to jostle the camera around.
Burghart and Riccioti mention that if they're shooting together, they make sure that each is using a different lens to ensure that, between the two of them, they're catching as many details, angles and perspectives as possible without swapping lenses more often than necessary. They also comment on the depth-of-field that cameras are able to achieve these days that have worked so well for wedding videos and are being increasingly sought and expected of documentaries, too. "It's not enough to just go somewhere and see bullets or tear gas coming at you," says Ricciotti. "People want to see it look pretty."

Gringo Bandito Pepper Sauce Review
Hello Chili Heads! It's a new year and Zest Fest is right around the corner. Those of us that are truly dedicated to all things spicy are now wondering what "atomic" sauces are going to be presented at the show. In a few short weeks, we will know and I bet you can find all those new sauces right here at Insanechicken.com! I found a new sauce to try and I want to tell you about it.
Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce.
For those of you that love rock 'n roll and hot sauce, this sauce review should be worthy of your time. Prepare to be amazed! Dexter Holland is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the punk band, The Offspring. They have recorded many albums and had tons of very popular music. So when he isn't adjusting his amps or shredding on his guitar, he is making hot sauce right here in good ole California! How much sauce one might ask? Well it's reported that his company in Newport Beach, California produces over 500 gallons a day! That's a lot of sauce. So naturally I have been curious about it. Being that I love guitar and good hot sauce, well it was inevitable that I would review Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce. I love the fact that this sauce is made in sunny California. So many products are out sourced to other countries or are created back east. This one is right in my own back yard. This company has been around since 2004 and still going strong. This year he even produced a signed and numbered collectable hot sauce that was created from his own garden. These sold out in a matter of a just few hours. Did you get one?
So I tried this sauce on a couple of different foods before I wrote this review. I tried it on my favorite pizza and then I had to try it on some of my favorite breakfast food.
The Label/Bottle.
The label looks great and original. It has some nice detail and color to it. It has a picture of Dexter on the front in bandito attire. The name of the sauce is bold, so that between the bold name and the yellow color I can easily recognize it on a shelf amongst other popular "atomic" sauces. This is not one of those labels that warn you of an imminent and painful death if you consume this sauce. It is a label that promises "adventurous flavor and tingling tantalization." And boasts that it's even "easy on the pooper!" The bottle comes in two different sizes; 5 oz for the average consumer and 10 oz. for the truly dedicated pepper head. Myself, I can appreciate the 10 oz size. A 5 oz bottle just doesn't last very long in my house if it is good.
The bottle says that it is made from Vinegar, Water, Habanero Peppers, Jalapeño Peppers, Red Japanese Chili Peppers, More Peppers, Salt, Mojo, Spices, and Xanthan Gum. It took Dexter two years of combining ingredients before he was able to call this sauce complete.
Sauce Appearance, Color, and Smell.
The sauce has a strong, tasty pepper smell. It is not overwhelming and doesn't have the strong vinegar flavor that some sauces have. This sauce has a smell that immediately makes me hungry and a desire to consume large amounts of Mexican food is instantly developed. I love that there is so many peppers in this sauce. Every pepper seems to just add to the flavor. The sauce doesn't have seeds or chunks in it, but pours out very easily.
Taste, Heat Factor.
Right off…I like this sauce! It tastes great. I can taste the peppers and there is lots of spicy flavor in it. Now if you are looking for a high heat sauce this might not be your choice but if you wish to have a sauce with a great flavor, here you go! I must admit it goes perfect with pizza. I tried a bite with a little sauce then I immediately cut a slice into a 2-inch strip and just poured this sauce right down the middle! Yum…now that's atomic baby! I would rate this sauce as a mild sauce. I would rank it about a two out of five for heat but I would also say that it is a five out of five for flavor. I am definitely going to keep this in stock at my house.
I would say that in conclusion my words would be… "I can't get enough!" It's a great sauce. It's a sauce that you can share with your whole family and take to your favorite local burrito shop. Thanks Dexter for setting down your guitar long enough to produce this great sauce and thanks Insanechicken.com for providing only the best products for us chili heads. So this is "Atomic Eh?" telling you to…
Keep it hot and keep it spicy!

Iwata for TAD 4003
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everybody,
Me and a friend are to build the Iwata's, but for the TAD 4003 driver, which is quite different to the 4001 in throat-size.
I downloaded the old drawings from this site and -angle and was worried about, if TAD had gone different ways in terms of the angle. I used Illustrator to make the following drawing (4003 overlaid by 4001) to show, that it should be in terms of the laws to make a adapter.
The "start" of the Iwata-horn lies perfect in the middle of the diapraghm.
Later this evening I will post the drawings of the vertical and horisontal curves in pdf.-format 1:1 that only needs printing for cutting out forms.
I will get back with the link if anyone are interested.
Regards and thanks for a brilliant forum.
pdf-files for printing 100% (they are measurably perfect) can be found here:
Sorry - the last link - http://hdmag.dk/hdmag/side.dk
New to this forum, I am not certain if this is the relevant place for this thread - otherwise I indulge moderators to move it!
As to the drawing: They are both equal in size and I have aligned the diapraghms. Look carefully at the phase-plugs! On the 4003 they are prolonged at the tip and the cavity in front are very different to the more round ditto on the 4001. Presumedly for better HF.
The angle are steeper than the 4001, but due to the shorter hornlengt in the 4004 it should not a probem to make a near-perfect adapter.
If anyone has inputs, please.
Hej Peter !
It should be : http://hdmag.dk/side.pdf
God arbejdslyst ;)
Thorsten Larsen
Thx. Thorsten!
Opening angle of TAD TD-4003
Hi Peter.
I cheked my 4003 and indeed the opening angle is a couple of degrees less than the JBL standard 1.5-2.0 inch adapter that I use. But the difference is so small that I wont worry about that.
Why have you chosen the IWATA profile?
Why not make a horn that has been optimised to the 4003?
Like this one:
I want to make it in wood, something like this one:
If you are interested, lets join forces, I stay in Lyngby.
Hi Erik, allready heard from Søren/Robert that you would maybe participate - great!
We go for the old, original Iwata and the 950 we allready got from Radian. I know about the Polish Iwata, but don't want to go the "plastic-way". I still think that wood has a certain role in dampening and strength. And the design has proven it's worth, so why tinker with a gem. The process of turning the horns is a tremendous job itself. A follow up will maybe be the Brush Wellman's. I have had several conversations with Mr. Yamamoto that concludes that fin's like found in the venerable TAD-horn is good for spreading but bad for the sonic's
And, great hearing from you again.
:cop: Peter. Please read this thread about images.
I have reduced the file size of your image and attached it.
Best of luck on the project, the Iwata horn is a great one. :checked:
Thx. Pano! Fumble-fingers just need some pro adjustments..
And yes, wee'l see what the efford makes out sound-wise.
