Using search engines
I also posted this in the Introduction to HotRodders:
Search engines 101
For a lot of newbie rodders and older rodders alike. When they need an answer to a question they come here. Although Hotrodders has a vast amount of knowledge stored in our Knowledge Base and in the minds of HotRodders we don't always have all the answers, even though we like to think we do. LOL!!! Sometimes, if not many times, the members will use search engines to try and find answer to the question someone is asking. It does take some time, but Hey...that's why we hang here right? Here are some tips so that some can do a search and maybe shorten that search time up. It has tips on how to put in your search and come up with more specific results instead of general results. It also explains web page addresses and how to read them. All in all it just basically tells you how to narrow down the search field. Search Engines 101

- Author: Russian and East European Institute
- Number of episodes: 2
- Web site: http://www.indiana.edu/~reeiweb/events/2011_post_communism.shtml
Podcast Description:
The roundtable focuses on a question that is circulated in advance to the roundtable panelists. Each panelist prepares a 1000-word statement in response to a brief (150-200 word) "provocation"—a statement and series of questions. After this the floor is open for discussion. In the afternoon, the focus of discussion shifts to effective pedagogies for teaching courses on topics related to the morning session.

Went scouting yesterday and saw a good group of geese and ducks in a small cove. Question - If these birds are just "hanging" out in this area (roosting and feeding), what is my best approach to hunting them?
Should I:
1) Get in there early (4am), and "nudge" them out of there, hoping they will come back. I was thinking I would park the boat 100 yards away, walk in and gently edge them out of there. My assumption is that since they have stayed in this cove for so long they will come back later that morning.
2) Sneak up to them in shooting range and jump them off the water.
What would you do???

I have been home sick for two days with flu like symptoms. Very achy from head to toe, swollen lymph nodes, fever, and very weak , and almost felt drunk at time with a very heavy head, and blurred vision at times. Just good old "bug" or virus of some type I am sure.
My wife and I were horsing around a little, and I told her it simply wasnt fair because I was too weak to fight back. That got me to thinking about what I would do to protect our house and safety in my obviuosly weak/impaired state. I just did not think I could fight off an attacker or home invader, even with my gun. Does any body here have a backup defensive strategy with others in your home in case you are unable to step up?

Francisque Sarcey (1827-1899) was, for much of his career, the most powerful theatrical critic in Paris. He was the perfect model of the blunt bourgeois, championing common sense, anti-intellectualism, and traditional values. He favored light, commercial fare, and railed against Ibsen and Jarry. He was, predictably, a prime target for young artists. Alphonse Allais took […]

murfmoble -
Did you take it in for service already? This 12B37 program addresses hill-start assist quality as well. The dealer will take a look at your cruise control. I'd like to send this to your region's Customer Service Manager for review. Please PM your VIN, mileage, phone #, and servicing dealer to me.

Fingers crossed... these problems have been here for all 10,000 miles!
DurdySE -
The beast went it for a well needed Frankenstein type of service!
Have you tried resetting the Average Fuel Economy screen in the information cluster? This will recalculate the numbers for you.
Keep us updated on how the service went. If you'd like, please shoot me a PM with your VIN, mileage, phone #, and servicing dealer; I'll send the information to our Customer Service Manager in your region.

This update focuses on making these changes as seamless as possible. Have you visited your dealer about the normal range of shifts since the update?

meesterlike24 -
We're never okay with people experiencing transmission issues on any vehicle. All relevant information concerning this is being compiled. I'll be more than happy to assist you by sending your regional Customer Service Manager any details. Please forward me your VIN, phone #, and dealer info.

Steve (from Ford), told me to get hold of my dealer and they would help me...
Is Steve your region's Customer Service Manager? If this hasn't been escalated, I'd like to do so. Shoot me a PM with your VIN, mileage, phone #, and dealer info, if you haven't already.

I am now waiting for the new VW Golf's to arrive, and will either purchase one of those, or see if Ford has fixed this major issue. Knowing what I do now, I can not risk spending $25,000+ on something that is already broken.
I hope you all get the fix from Ford, and the respect from Ford that is deserved for being such patient customers.

Welcome to the forum!
We never like to lose a potential customer. In addition, we have respect for all of our owners. A program has been created which addresses transmission and hill-start quality. We're currently evaluating the experience customers have had with this service program. Please stay in touch and monitor the incentives in your area:
If anyone is still experiencing transmission quality issues since 12B37 has been completed, please PM me your VIN with a brief description. I'm currently compiling all facts and will forward this to our engineering contact.

Just four months after she voted to approve the merger of Comcast and NBC Universal, FCC Commissioner Meredith Baker has announced she is joining the media giant as its chief lobbyist.
Her term runs through June. The Washington Post reports she'll leave the Federal Communications Commission on June 3 to join Comcast-NBC Universal as its senior vice president of governmental affairs.
Read her resignation letter.
A Republican, Baker joined the FCC in 2009. Before that she worked in the administration of President George W. Bush at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, where she oversaw a $1.5 billion coupon program to help consumers make the transition to digital-only television.
"Meredith's executive branch and business experience along with her exceptional relationships in Washington bring Comcast and NBC Universal the perfect combination of skills," the head Washington operations for Comcast-NBC Universal, Kyle McSlarrow, said in a press release. He called Baker "one of the nation's leading authorities on communications policy."
When Comcast completed its acquisition Jan. 29, Reuters called the combined company "a $30 billion media behemoth that controls not just how television shows and movies are made but how they are delivered to people's homes."

Stewart Reeves '68 to speak on "Memories to Metadata" as Briggs Library Associates special guest
Posted by Judy Korn on Wednesday, Sep. 15, 2010
Sharon Stewart Reeves '68 will speak on "Memories to Metadata" as the Briggs Library Associates Fall Event guest speaker on Wednesday, September 22, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. in Imholte 109. Her 31-year career as a librarian for a prominent daily newspaper, The San Diego Union-Tribune, demonstrates a passion for researching, collecting, organizing, and preserving history. The public is invited to attend.
LeAnn Dean, Briggs Library director, says that she is eagerly looking forward to the Stewart Reeves talk. "Sharon is the perfect speaker as the Briggs Library Associates' contribution to Founders Week festivities that celebrate UMM's 50th birthday. She'll share recollections of the library and UMM in its first decade and also bring us forward through time as libraries changed the tools used in organizing and sharing information while continuing to serve the needs of academic and public communities. What a perfect combination of past and future perspectives!"
A history major at Morris, Stewart Reeves earned a master of library science at the University of Washington in Seattle. She began her career as a newspaper librarian with The Seattle Times. In 1975, she accepted a position with the San Diego Union and San Diego Tribune at which she began as head librarian and concluded her career as The San Diego Union-Tribune director of library services. She has worked on numerous high profile news stories throughout her career and received recognition along with writers, editors, and publishers when The San Diego Union-Tribune was honored with a Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for reporting on U.S. Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham's acceptance of bribes.
The Library Associates organization brings together friends who love books, who enjoy cultural pursuits and who believe in supporting an important campus and regional intellectual resource. As part of its mission, the Library Associates provide programming and exhibits that enrich the cultural, intellectual, and artistic life of the community and region.

Hey All,
I just finished a driver training day at PIR yesterday and it was a blast!!! The class started with an autocross for warm up and learning the car, and then we had 4 seperate sessions on PIR (~2 mile course). Each session was 18-20 minutes (i believe one session was almost 25 minutes).
I was expecting a certain level of car comparable to the WRX, but boy was I suprised to see the list of cars.
(I am in the first and last picture)
Let me know if you want me to post more pictures. I have lots.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Hi there...I'm sorry to hear that your cat is not well.
There are several different types of lymphoma in cats. The good news is that of all of the different cancers that cats can get, lymphoma is the most treatable. There are several chemotherapy protocols that work well, and cats usually don't get sick on chemotherapy - they handle it quite well.
Most of the time we don't use radiation for lymphoma, but I suppose it is possible if there was a large tumor somewhere where surgery would be difficult to remove it.
If your cat is relatively healthy then I think there is a good chance for remission with the appropriate treatment and he can live a long time. If he is already quite ill with disease, then obviously the life span would be shorter.
Here is some more excellent information on lymphoma in cats:
I hope this information helps! If you have more questions, just hit reply. Or, if my answer is sufficient, please hit accept. Thanks!
Dr. Marie
Ah, sorry to hear that this is renal lymphoma.
I just did some research for you on the prognosis for cats with renal lymphoma. There is a 70% remission rate for this disease when treated with chemo. The average survival time is 6-9 months, however some can live much longer. If your cat is positive for feline leukemia this means that the survival time is shorter - more like 2-3 months.
If he is responding well so far, then this is a good sign. I hope he does ok!
Yes, renal lymphoma is lymphoma around the kidney. And yes, your vet is right that cats often respond very quickly to treatment.
It is often hard to tell if a cat is in pain, but most likely your guy is not. He may feel a little unwell, but it doesn't sound like he is suffering at all. If his appetite is good then this is a great sign.
It sounds like your vet is quite knowledgable in the treatment of this disease and I think you are in good hands. I would advise to keep going with treatment. Really, the only reason not to do it right now is cost. Your cat will let you know if he is suffering and if he is eating ok then he is doing alright.
Hope this helps!Dr. Marie

Lily Hwang applied her photogrammetric/scientific/graphics skills to produce this. Not easy. Bob's Buick doesn't specify its freebie pencil logo length be accurate to 0.1mm.
Seems obvious, but I've never seen it done before, have you?
I'd love to laser engrave some nice Pentels or Staedlers. What do you think?
See you at GSA! (And here's a link any field note nerd will appreciate; a blog dedicated to mechanical pencils. )

I love it. (I also need it, because I've got a mechanical pencil for scale in too many photos.)

Hey, this is a really great idea... why was it not done before? Any way to get one if I won't be in Denver? Are you ever bringing your stream table to Vermont?

These are cheapo giveaways, so don't covet too much. But still great for scale and as a field vest backup. We'll get you one if you want one, (email me after GSA). I'll bring a bunch to the blogger's meet. @Charlie, check out the stream table map at emriver.com; we have quite a few in Vermont now!

Gatwick airport today revealed plans to build a second runway costing up to £9 billion that could double or triple passenger numbers — up to about 87 million a year.
Airport chiefs said the work could be completed by 2025 and would be the best deal for air travellers as it would increase competition and lead to lower fares.
They claimed the case for a four- runway airport — such as those proposed by Heathrow and Boris Johnson's Estuary plan — was flawed, as the airports would quickly become obsolete due to fleets of long-range aircraft and the rise of hub airports in the Middle East and Far East. It sought to undermine the case for a hub, saying 87 per cent of flights started and ended in London.
Instead, the South-East's aviation capacity crunch would be solved by including Gatwick in a "constellation", devised by renowned architect Sir Terry Farrell, with two other two-runway airports, Heathrow and an expanded Stansted.
Submitting his evidence to the Government's aviation commission today, Gatwick chief executive Stewart Wingate said: "Our evidence clearly shows that an additional runway at Gatwick would best serve the needs of all passengers and give certainty to airlines, communities and business.
"It would deliver the connectivity the UK needs with lower environmental impacts, while spreading the economic benefits."
Gatwick submitted three options for an additional runway south of the existing one and similar to its 3,316 metre length. Capacity at a two-runway airport would boost annual passenger numbers from the current 34.2 million to between 60 million and 87 million depending on how far apart the second was built from the first. With a separation of one kilometre, the runways could operate independently, achieving the maximum capacity of 87 million.
A decades-old moratorium on a second runway expires in 2019 and Gatwick says the extended airport could open to passengers by 2025.
Gatwick believes it could complete the planning process to begin construction in 2019. Last week it overcame one obstacle when West Sussex county council voted in favour of expansion on economic grounds.
Expansion would cost between £5 billion and £9 billion. It would be largely financed privately by the airport and would include the cost of a new third terminal next to the existing railway line. Gatwick, the UK's second largest airport, is owned by Global Infrastructure Partners and said that unlike the Heathrow and Estuary plans it would not require substantial government subsidy.
It would create 19,000 new jobs and create a £56 billion boost to the economy by 2050.
The number of locals affected by noise at a two-runway Gatwick could rise from 3,300 to 11,800, which the airport said is five per cent of those under the Heathrow flightpath. Some 50-100 homes would have to be demolished compared to 950 to 2,700 at Heathrow.
Gatwick bosses admitted there was a "critical" need for a non-stop 30-minute Heathrow Express rail every 15 minutes with new trains with more luggage space.
Airline anger at Heathrow charges
Airlines have rejected an offer from Heathrow for its user charges to increase by a smaller amount than previously proposed. They have demanded that the levy on the landing at the airport should be cut in real terms.
British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Lufthansa have branded Heathrow proposes for charges to increase by inflation plus 4.6 per cent as unacceptable. The charges are paid by the airlines and constitute the biggest single source of income for the airport — the levy raised £1.3 billion last year. Europe's busiest airport has some of the highest charges in the world and in April the Civil Aviation Authority infuriated Heathrow by proposing that the levy should be cut in real terms over the next five years.

Cadillac Escalade, EXT and ESV Forum - 2007-2014 Discussion, 07 ESV Opinions in Cadillac Escalade Forums; Hello, I have my '07 ESV on order -- should be here in mid-July! For those who already have it, ...

07 ESV Opinions
I have my '07 ESV on order -- should be here in mid-July! For those who already have it, how do you like it thus far?
I was really quite torn (still am) between the Yukon XL and the ESV for the simple reason that I have a wife and kids. After driving both, for once, the Cadillac has a significantly better interior appointments, style and overall ride. (Having owned an '06, I really couldn't say this for previous years) -- the question remains, is it worth the upgrade? Time will tell and I do hope so.
Again, I have kids, do a lot of traveling, etc.. so I'm not really buying it for the bling factor, but rather the usual middle-aged want-some-luxury rhetoric. Do you think I'll be pleased with it, with that said? I did order the 22" wheels and am wondering what those who have them think... does it pose ride quality issues? I wanted to go with the 18"'s, but my wife thought it looked silly and I tended to agree. I just hope I've not sacrificed ride quality for looks.
Looks like a beautiful truck -- now if we could only get GM to throw some bluetooth in it and/or make onstar useful, I'd be a totally happy camper.
Thanks for your thoughts/opinions!

Re: 07 ESV Opinions
Welcome to the Forum. I have had 6 Suburban's before my Escalade, and the Caddy is much nicer. I use OnStar everyday for the phone feature, it works great for my needs. I am sure you will be very pleased.
Re: 07 ESV Opinions
I ordered an '07 ESV also.
I previously had a Yukon Denali XL.
The ESV just seemed like the logical creature comfort upgrade for a series of Vehicle that I loved anyways.
Re: 07 ESV Opinions
Ordered an ESV for my wife. Still waiting for it...probably not till August. I felt the looks and appointments far execeeded the Denali. I felt if I got the Denali I would have always said I should have spent a couple of bucks more for the Lade

Re: 07 ESV Opinions
I've been curious as well. I have an '07 Denali XL on order. For me, the ESV is a $10,000 upgrade. What features besides the analog clock and the cooling seats does the ESV offer over the Denali?
I'm reading around and hoping that I won't regret it. I comfort myself by knowing that I am buying my 15-year old son a car next year with the savings.
Hopefully, this won't start a my dog is bigger than your dog argument.
Re: 07 ESV Opinions
The differences are few, but here's the list:
1. Navigation screen is larger.
2. Center console has more functions, although a bit more complicated.
3. HID headlights. ($3000 a pair if replacement needed, w/bulbs).
4. LED tail-lights and front marker lights.
5. As you mentioned, cooled seats.
Other than that, it's styling and name.
I have had 2 Denali's since 2001, and loved them other than the 4 spd transmissions. The reason I moved up is that I didn't quite like the way GM made the new Yukon front end look like the lower end Envoys. I think they should have kept a significantly different headlight "look", as the previous years had the lens rather than refective headlights.

Re: 07 ESV Opinions
I forgot about the Xeon headlights. That's VERY nice. I know that the NAV screen rotates too. The Lade ain't no joke.
Thanks for the information!
Re: 07 ESV Opinions
I'm guessing there's also a difference in ride quality.. The Escalade is probably smoother...Have an iPhone or Android? Then you can be connected with everything automotive in your area.

Re: 07 ESV Opinions
The interior and leather appointments will hold up better over time in the Escalade. Better headliner and leather type. After 2-5 years of wear on the leather, the escalades Leather will look much better. Also don't forget the "Wow!" factor. Will get way more looks in a stock lade ESV with 22"s than you would a stock Yukon XL.

Re: 07 ESV Opinions
I picked mine up on monday. Traded in a rx330. Damn is this truck big!!Very easy to drive though.I got an Esv with every option.So far I love it.Except im averaging 10mpg.But I pretty much expected that before buying it. Still trying to figure out the nav and the radio and all the other goodies.
I test drove the denali xl. Very similar I decided to go with the caddy because of the styling. I like the outside appearance but the interior is much nicer on the caddy. Cant say if its that much of a diff. to justify the $$.
Probably cant go wrong either way
Good luck

Cheap Asian imports nearly killed production of \"espadrilles\" in the birthplace of this iconic summertime cloth and rope-soled shoe, but in a twist of fate Asia is now coming to their rescue. As Basque as berets and espelette peppers, the shoe originated centuries ago as cheap and easy footwear for peasants in the Pyrenees region that straddles the border between France and Spain. They became a unisex hit for all classes and just about everyone in both countries has spent a summer in a pair of their own. The trend went international, helped along by fans like Pablo Picasso, Lauren Bacall -- whose ankle-laced model in the 1948 hit \"Key Largo\" triggered a US craze -- and US actor Don Johnson who cooly fought crime wearing espadrilles in the hit 1980s TV series \"Miami Vice\". Then came the slump. \"The 1990s were terrible. Bangladesh-made espadrilles, whose cheap price defied all competition, invaded the market,\" said Armand Marzat, 37, whose family has run an espadrille factory in the southwest city of Mauleon for three generations. However thanks to two businessman who spotted a niche -- and a need in their native Basque country -- it\'s boom time again at Marzat\'s Megam Creation, one of the last ateliers producing the famous footwear on the French side of the border Nothing predestined childhood friends Mathieu Labat and Julien Maisonnave, 36 and 37, to start an espadrille revival. The first studied law, the second went into banking but after several years working both found themselves fishing for a new project. They launched their company, the Art of Soule -- named after the provincial capital -- to market the local, hand-made espadrilles in pop-coloured fabrics, with stars or stripes, \"Hawaiian\" or \"punk\" designs, even the red-white-green Basque flag, as well as traditional solids. One line is called \"Espadrilles 2.0\" -- using web jargon for what\'s cutting edge -- with models that drop the old rope sole for latex, i.e. machine-washable. All are produced in Marzat\'s factory and have \"Made in France\" stamped on the bottom. Then came strategy. Five years ago, \"we started by selling them in markets in Biarritz, Hendaye and Guethary,\" three popular Basque resorts on the Atlantic coast, notably \"trendy Guethary which now has lots of lots of Parisians in the summertime...fashion-setters, well-dressed, chic,\" said Labat. Next came luck. Last June, at a ready-to-wear trade show in Florence, Italy, the partners caught the eye of Yoshi Watanabe, chief executive of Daidoh Limited, a distributor for the Japanese retailer United Arrows. He \"found our product exceptional,\" said Maisonnave. \"He wanted \'Made in France\' authenticity, he even asked to come see the production in Mauleon. For the Asian market, culture is very important,\" said Maisonnave, \"and for them, French means beret, baguette and espadrille.\" \"Our clientele is ready to pay more for an espadrille if it is really made in France,\" Watanabe told AFP by telephone, saying the Mauleon espadrilles are now sold in Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan -- where they go for up to 80 euros ($100) dollars a pair, as compared to about 19 to 45 euros for the brand in France. For this summer, Labat and Maisonnave ordered 50,000 pairs from Marzat\'s factory, with more than half -- 65 percent -- set for export. Asian sales alone soared in one year from 0 to 20 percent of all exports. Marzat, who once feared for his business, now has 10 to 25 workers, depending on the season, toiling year-round in the cavernous atelier, cutting, pressing, glueing and sewing. They use cotton fabric woven in Spain and the jute for soles now comes from Asia, but Marzat insists the savoir-faire is strictly local. \"Our secret is the finishing stitches sewn with traditional machines that are no longer made. And only my mother (63) and I know how to repair them,\" he said proudly. \"It\'s our proof of quality.\" In the five years since they started, Art of Soule\'s turnover has jumped from a modest 35,000 euros to 600,000 euros. They now hope to open stores in Tokyo and Hong Kong but remain faithful to the Basque region, already mulling over ways to revive other regional products. High on their list? Makers of the once-ubiquitous pancake-shaped headgear, the Basque beret.

Howard Kurtz cannot be serious
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Does Howard Kurtz really think Sean Hannity would praise Barack Obama if only he had more time to think things through? That's what he seems to be suggesting:
As the Dow embarked on a long slide after Inauguration Day -- a nearly 2,000-point slide, to be precise -- the drumbeat seemed to grow louder.
"There's no confidence in Obama's plan," said Fox's Sean Hannity. "The markets respond to data. They have no confidence."
"The stock market is also demonstrating a lack of confidence in the president's big government agenda," said CNN's Lou Dobbs.
And it's not just those on the right. CNBC's Jim Cramer -- an unabashed Democrat -- complained that President Obama's "radical agenda" was causing the "greatest wealth destruction I've seen by a president."
The chatter reflects a fast-forward culture that demands snap judgments. The cable news channels, not content to wait for the traditional 100-day benchmark -- itself an artificial media construct -- were grading Obama last week on his 50-day performance.
This is absurd. Sean Hannity isn't attacking Barack Obama because he exists in "a fast-forward culture that demands snap judgments." He is attacking Barack Obama because he is a partisan Republican who reliably attacks Democrats. It's who he is, and it's what he's paid to do.
Likewise, anybody who has watched more than six consecutive minutes of Lou Dobbs' daily rantings should understand that his criticisms of Obama don't result from a need for "snap judgments" but from his worldview. And Jim Cramer may be "an unabashed Democrat," but given what we've learned in recent weeks about his shameless cheerleading for Wall Street, his criticism of Obama is pretty predictable, too.
Howard Kurtz is the nation's most prominent media critic - and he thinks Sean Hannity might praise Barack Obama's policies if only he weren't forced to make "snap judgments"?
Come on.

these boots are just what i needed. I read the reviews on the sizing suggestions and they came sized just right for slipping over my shoes. They appear to be a tough rubberized material that is just flexible enough to give a good fit over shoes. They have good tread on the bottom for good grip on mud or snow and are tough.

For an overshoe boot, these Tingleys are neat. The size fit as expected given that I ordered a size 8-9.5 by women's standards, although I may have opted for the size below in retrospect given that I was just on the border with a size 8. I will definitely have to wear the boots with full sneakers or hiking boots, as smaller shoes won't fit to keep the boot on well.

I've worn these for years; recently they've gotten holes low at the back of the heel a lot sooner than they used to, and a rubber boot with a hole near the bottom isn't much use in puddles.

I wear full-size #11-12 leather (porous) cowboy boots and needed shoe covers for entering an environment where chemicals are used. I previously bought yellow nuke boot style shoe covers, but those didn't last. They were made of the same material of which kitchen dishwash gloves (what the Brits call marigolds) are made - not the case with these bad boys! These Tingleys are the real-deal! When I say tires for your feet I mean it. They even smell like a tire shop. They come with a push-thru rubber button which folds over the ankle/calf portion keeping them snugly in place. The heel has a tab on the back which does make them easier to remove hands-free (keeping your hands clean) but with my boots they do take a bit of tugging to pull loose. I'd much rather them stay on and be difficult to pull off than vice versa though! All-in-all they are a great solution for keeping the mess of the world off your nice shoes...or boots!

AS good as it gets. Ordered size that was for my shoe size, and fits perfect. Rubber is thick for water proofing.

Japan government distances itself from 'comfort women' comment
The Japanese government on Tuesday distanced itself from comments by a prominent politician that the so-called "comfort women" of second world war served a "necessary" role by keeping troops in check.
Outspoken Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto said soldiers living with the daily threat of death needed some way to let off steam which was provided by the comfort women system.
Up to 200,000 women from Korea, China, the Philippines and elsewhere were forcibly drafted into brothels catering to the Japanese military in territories occupied by Japan during the second world war, according to many mainstream historians.
"When soldiers risk their lives under a hail of bullets, and you want to give them a rest somewhere, it is clear that you need a comfort women system," Hashimoto said.
South Korea voiced "deep disappointment" over the comments, which risk inflaming Japan's relationship with neighbours that were victims of brutal expansionism and who claim Tokyo has never faced up to its warmongering past.
"There is worldwide recognition... that the issue of comfort women amounts to a wartime rape committed by Japan during its past imperial period in a serious breach of human rights," a Seoul foreign ministry spokesman said.
"Our government again urges Japan's prominent officials to show regret for atrocities committed during Japan's imperial period and to correct their anachronistic way of thinking and comments."
Hashimoto, who is co-leader of the national Japan Restoration Party, acknowledged that some women providing sexual services to Japan's soldiers did so "against their will", something he attributed to "the tragedy of war".
But he said there was no evidence this had been officially sanctioned by the state and that the use of prostitutes by servicemen was not unique to Japan.
"There are many examples" of unacceptable and brutal behaviour by soldiers in wartime and "to contain such things, it is a cold fact that a certain system like comfort women was necessary", he said.
Japan's top government spokesman and Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga on Tuesday refused to comment directly on Hashimoto's remarks.
However, he said: "The government's position on the comfort women issue is that, as I repeatedly said here, we feel pains towards people who experienced hardships that are beyond description and [this] administration shares the view held by past governments."
In a landmark 1993 statement, the Japanese government offered "sincere apologies" for the "immeasurable pain and suffering" inflicted on comfort women.
Two years later, Japan issued a broader apology expressing "deep remorse" for war suffering.
The 1993 statement remains passionately opposed by some Japanese conservatives who contend that the country did not directly coerce women.
Despite a hawkish stance on history, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe indicated last week he does not intend to backtrack on these apologies.
Japan's shared history with its Asian neighbours looms over present-day relations, which are also strained by separate territorial disputes with Seoul and Beijing.
Both capitals say Tokyo has not shown sufficient contrition for its WWII behaviour. But many in Japan feel nationalists abroad use the issue as a stick to beat it for their own domestic ends.
Hashimoto, who was once mentioned as a possible future prime minister, said Monday that Japan bears responsibility for the war and urged compassion for victims.
"[Comfort women were] a result of the tragedy of war so we have to take care with thoughtfulness of those people who became comfort women against their will," he said.
Shintaro Ishihara, a former Tokyo governor and the other co-leader of the Japan Restoration Party, came to Hashimoto's defence on Tuesday, arguing prostitutes and militaries have co-existed throughout history.
"Although Mr Hashimoto's comments are unpleasant to hear, he is not saying anything wrong," he said.

Africa beer sales surge despite church and mosque
By Ed Stoddard and Chijioke Ohuocha
JOHANNESBURG/LAGOS (Reuters) - Beer sales in Africa are surging because of economic and population growth, a trend rubbing against the grain of another demographic factor defining the region: intense religiosity.
By almost any measure, Africa is an exceptionally devout place and the major growth area for Christianity and Islam.
This should have implications for investors, especially in the fast-growing retail and beer sectors: they must navigate sacred sensitivities in areas such as marketing and factor the faithful into forecasts and demographic profiles for the continent's population of just over a billion.
Brewing executives have said they tone down their advertising campaigns in Africa, and these do tend to be conservative.
In Nigeria for example, scantily-clad women tend not to feature on billboards promoting beer brands. Instead, a man in a suit is portrayed sipping a refreshing cold lager, or more often than not the ad shows just a giant bottle and glass.
According to a 2010 report by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, the number of Muslims living in Sub-Saharan Africa rose 20-fold from 1900 to 234 million.
Christianity has grown at an even more blistering pace, with numbers soaring almost 70-fold over the same period of time to 470 million from just 7 million.
And in the case of Christianity, much of this growth has been concentrated in Pentecostal churches and other evangelical denominations which, like Islam, tend to frown on alcohol. Continued...

Bumpy Road to Recovery for Live Oak Residents
LIVE OAK - Scotty Raulerson's first month on the job at the S&S food store along US 90 in Live Oak fits the description of a vacation minus some of the benefits.
Raulerson says he, " lost out on two, two and a half weeks worth of paychecks."
For two and a half weeks the gas station was closed due to water damage from Tropical Storm Debby.
After being out of business for so long, expired perishable goods had to be tossed away and fuel supplies had to be restocked.
Residents trying to settle back into normal life with assistance from family friends and FEMA are facing their own set of roadblocks.
The Suwannnee County Agricultural Colosseum which served as a Red Cross shelter recently closed after serving over one thousand people in three weeks.
Michaela Solomon and her family were forced into the shelter when their home was surrounded by floodwater.
She appreciates the home it offered to her six-month old daughter, Robin-Lynn when they had none to turn to.
Solomon says, "It's very important that she has a stable home because she needs to know stability and security, and I don't want her to have to worry about this like I did. I'm glad she's young and won't remember this."
After visits from Florida Governor Rick Scott and FEMA assistance, Live Oak residents say the impressions from Debby will be lasting.
Michaela and Robin-Lynn are now staying with family that has received FEMA dollars towards repairing a damaged roof and computer.

Sotheby's features abstract art sale in New York Latam spring auctions
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Works of art by Colombian artist Fernando Botero, Cuban artist Wilfredo Lam and Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo are expected to be among the highlights of Sotheby's Latin American spring art auctions next week, which will also include a special sale of abstract art.
Tamayo's "La Familia," which has been in his family and is fresh to the market, is expected to be the top lot of Sotheby's two-day sales on May 26 and 27 with a presale estimate of up to $1.6 million.
"His work with sand, earth and pigments is extraordinarily evident in this painting," Axel Stein, Sotheby's head of Latin American art, said on Friday.
"His composition is very round," he added, "and it makes it one of his best pieces of his late period."
Two works by Lam, who combines elements of surrealism and primitivism in much of his work, are also considered highlights of the sales.
"Les Oiseaux Voiles" could bring in as much as $1.5 million and "Le Sorcier de l'Ocean," is expected to fetch up to $1.2 million.
Although abstract art is usually associated with painters from Russia, France and the United States, Stein said Latin American artists have also been influenced by the movement, which will be recognized with a special sale "Latin America, the Legacy of Abstraction."
Lucio Fontana of Argentina, Venezuelan artist Jesus Rafael Soto and Spanish-Uruguayan painter Joaquin Torres-Garcia are among the artists whose work will be included in the abstract sale.
"There is a very important school that hasn't been recognized to this day." said Stein. "So let's say we took this opportunity and we looked to put together this group." Continued...

IMEMC & Agencies: As part of ongoing violations against the Palestinians, living in small villagers, in the West Bank Northern Plains area, dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded Khirbit Makhoul, and demolished more than seven homes.
[ Image By Palestine News Network]
Local sources said that dozens of Israeli military jeeps, and military bulldozers, invaded the village and started demolishing its homes.
The sources added that the villagers never received any notices or orders from the military, and never had the chance to legally challenge the Israeli decision.
Israel does not recognize dozens of small villages, Bedouin tribes, in the Northern Plains areas of the West Bank, and near occupied East Jerusalem, as well as near Hebron and other areas.
With no services, no recognition from the occupation, those villages have been repeatedly demolished, and removed, and the residents are frequently displaced due to Israel's ongoing violations.
Bedouin villages in the Negev are also subject to such frequent attacks and violations, as dozens of small villages have been uprooted and demolished, some tribes have been displaced and their shelters removed hundreds of times.
Hundreds of similar attacks targeted Bedouins in the Negev, who live in villages unrecognized by Israel, and are subject to frequent displacement and ongoing assaults.
Around 70,000 Arab Bedouin – whose presence in the Negev dates to the seventh century – live in 35 villages that either predate the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, or that were built in the 1950s under Israeli military orders.
These villages are not recognized by Israel, and the inhabitants are considered trespassers. Basic services have been withheld from these villages, and thousands of houses have been demolished since 2011.

I'm a proud volunteer and I look forward to the time I get to spend at GKTW. The Village is run like a well oiled machine with lots of happy, smiling faces and friendly people. An amazing blessing in the heart of Central Florida!
My family and I volunteer by our adoption of 2 villas (we clean & landscape multiple times a year plus put up/take down holiday decorations) and I additionally volunteer my social media expertise promoting GKTW Village. We see firsthand how much joy the place brings to families. They share their heartfelt joy every time we meet them and are so impressed with the entire operation. I've not yet met a single soul who has been there who isn't blown away by the generosity of spirit reflected by the volunteers and staff. Every family I've met, likewise, is overwhelmed with acceptance and love.
There's another place in the Orlando area that's considered the "Most Magical Place on Earth." With all due respect to the mouse, I'd have to disagree and proclaim that it's REALLY Give Kids The World Village. While families do enjoy tickets to WDW, SeaWorld, Universal and more, the magic is in the day-to-day stay at The Village where every child is special, and for one week mom and dad can relax for just a bit. They'll deal with their child's life-threatening illness all-too-soon when they're home again. But for just one week they have Give Kids The World Village.
There is only one word, that said it all for me and that is HUMBLE!! You cannot go or leave The Village without a heart full of love. God Bless Henry.
I have traveled with a small group from Massachusetts to Give Kids the World for three years in a row to volunteer in memory of our friend who was a guest there. There truly is no place in the world like it. I have met the most incredible people with the most inspiring stories, from other fellow volunteers to these amazing families and of course, the children. It is the greatest privilege to donate my time to this organization.
Give Kids the World strives to put a smile on every child's face, to make everyone feel included and relaxed and cared for, and to ensure that they have a magical and memorable trip. As a volunteer, it is so humbling to be able to serve this mission for such deserving children and families. Even for me, I have made some of my closest friends and fondest memories on my volunteer trips there--and the experience isn't even about me. The way Give Kids the World makes families feel welcomed and loved is unlike any other place, it takes away the pain, stress, and worries they typically feel and replaces those feelings with so much joy, many laughs, and lots of smiles. I have had parents tell me how grateful they are to have volunteers like us, and to have a place like Give Kids the World to put a spark back in their child's eye. But in all reality, we are even more grateful for the opportunity to be there and to be a part of their memories.
I cannot wait to return in the summer of 2016 for our fourth volunteer trip. It's so terribly difficult to leave every time because Give Kids the World creates an environment that is a joy and honor to work in and a magical and memorable place to visit. I only wish that I was closer and could volunteer more often and that more people could know all that Give Kids the World has to offer.
I found out about Give Kids The World through one of my friends from high school and it changed my life. I went by myself so it really gave me the chance to connect with other volunteers and also the kids and the parents. There are so many activities for the kids to do and the parents are just happy to see their kids happy and laughing and smiling. The best memory I have with my first visit was when a little girl made a drawing and gave it to me because she liked how I sat down with her and talked to her while she drew. This place gives kids fighting for their life a sense of normalcy but it also encourages them to fight. This place shows them what they have to fight for and let's them know it's not just their family and friends that has their back. It's everyone.
After volunteering 10 years for this truly one of a kind place, there is nothing like the magic here. The most common wish in the world is to visit Orlando. Give Kids the World is a village that makes these wishes come true. I've seen pure joy here.
Smiles. It's about the joyful smiles. I don't know the story that each Wish Kid could tell, if asked. What I do know is that when I give a little encouragement, a smile, a friendly voice, what I get back is...priceless ! For some Wish Kids, it's harder to open up, but once they do - it's all worth it. For a short time, kids get to be kids; parents and siblings get to relax; they're allowed to forget some of their normal worries, and have some fun. It seems we don't get over to the Give Kids The World Village to volunteer often enough, but when we do, I feel lucky to have helped spread smiles. Whether it's Ice Cream for Breakfast or a few rides on the carousel, the GKTW Village is a place, and a team, that wants to make a difference for every Wish Kid and their family. I wish I had learned of the Give Kids The World Village sooner.
I volunteered with GKTW back in 94-95 when I was an undergrad working on the WDW co-op program. It's still to this day the most gratifying and memorable volunteer work I've had the privilege to be a part of. The Village and staff were wonderful, and seeing first hand what GKTW did for the guests who came - not just the kids who were ill but their siblings and parents - hard to measure that kind of magic. Keep on truckin' and God Bless GKTW
My daughter was a "Wish Kid" in 1999, when she was 6 years old. Our family of nine (9 !) had a magical experience which was quite literally "life changing". Through the years, we support GKTW events when we can, and were HONORED to volunteer last summer.
To see our sick little girl, now a 21 year old college student, sharing the magic and joy she felt herself as a child, with other families was beyond "awe inspiring".
We hope to be able to travel back to FL (we live in PA) soon and volunteer again.
EVERY family we spoke to while volunteering was happy, hopeful, and joyful. When they learned my daughter was "an alum", they often broke down crying. It is SO HARD to live with the reality that your child may not become an adult. Seeing our Christine working as a volunteer and sharing her love for GKTW still... after so many years and so much "medicine", gave many of them hope for the future of their own families.
We are so, SO, grateful to GKTW for the opportunity to share our time, treasure, talent, and wisdom. xoxo
This is a magical, spiritual, place.
Keep On Dancing*
I love this place! I would live here if they let me! I have been with a church group 2 times already and we leave for our third trip on October 2nd. I have also been twice with just my husband.
I cannot even tell you what a wonderful place this is to volunteer at, words just do not suffice. We live in Maryland and recently bought a vacation home in Florida, so several days of volunteering is a must before or after each trip down. You will not be sorry you took the time to volunteer here.
Everytime here has been a life changing experience for me.

Juan Antonio Samaranch told the BBC 16 months had passed since London won the bid and time was "going very fast".
But developers said land was being prepared and buildings demolished, with building work due to begin in mid-2008.
Mr Samaranch's comments come after organisers said the cost of the Games could rise by £1.5bn to £5bn.
Olympic rowing gold medallist Sir Steve Redgrave said he could not understand how estimates could be so far out.
Culture Minister Tessa Jowell and Lord Coe, chairman of the London Organising Committee, are visiting Barcelona to see how the Spanish city benefited from hosting the Games in 1992.
Aquatic centre
Mr Samaranch was head of the Olympic movement for 21 years and was succeeded by its current head, Jacques Rogge, in 2001.
Although calling for building to get under way, he did say he was not worried about work being completed on time.
"In six years you can build many, many things," he said.
"I think people from London said they need two years for the preparations and four years for the works, and we are in that first two years."
The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) said builders will start constructing an aquatic centre, the main stadium and fitting out the athletes' village in 2008.
"It's hard for people if they can't see physical buildings but we are bang on target," an ODA spokeswoman said.
On Wednesday, the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said the total bill for the Games could exceed £5bn.
The rise is being blamed on extra security, an unexpected VAT bill and government demands for a contingency fund.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Sir Steve Redgrave said: "One of the things that was always talked about at the time was that we were not going to go over budget and that the time and effort would be put in to make sure it did not go over."
"I find it a little disappointing. How can they not bring VAT into the whole programme?"
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell said the government had to shoulder the extra costs.
"We have agreed to take on this tremendous responsibility - we have to pay for it.
"The government having been so closely involved, I don't think it can now step back and say this is the responsibility of the organising committee."
Organisers and the government are currently reviewing the original 2004 budget, expected to be set next February.
