What's an English pub doing in the heart of Redmond?
Apparently, whatever it wants. And owner Paul Mercer, recently of Camp Sherman's Kokanee Cafe and Sunriver's Trout House, said he hasn't had so much fun at a restaurant in 10 years.
The Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes hang side by side inside the front door of the intimate Pig & Pound Public House, a pretty good indication that both Brits and Yanks are welcome to enjoy craft beers and a tasty selection of traditional foods that might bring a smile to the face of even the Queen of England.
"I'm home again," said Mercer, who had gone to work as director of sales and marketing for Phat Matt's Brewing Co. after leaving the restaurant business in 2010. "I missed the restaurant business. Once I got back into it, I realized that this is what I need to be doing. Life is fun again."
A native of Stratford-upon-Avon, England, in the heart of Shakespeare country, Mercer said he is pleased to offer a simple menu — a big change from the fine-dining options typical of his two prior restaurants.
"We've just taken comfort food from 'across the pond' and made it Americanized and good," he said.
Bangers to chips
Certainly, the Pig & Pound is at its best when chef Franklin Jeffers — who trained under the late chef Greg Unruh at Cork — is preparing British-style pub food.
In my two recent visits to the Pig & Pound, I was most impressed by the fish-and-chips entree and by the bangers and mash, both dishes typical of ale dispensaries in the United Kingdom.
No doubt, the presentation of the lightly beer-battered cod in the fish and chips was a highlight. Three generous pieces of fish were served side-by-side with herb-sprinkled, hand-cut fries in a pair of aluminum cones, almost like matching candelabra. With moist flakiness locked in, they tasted as good as they looked.
Accompanying coleslaw — a mix of white and red cabbage with shreds of carrot — wasn't quite of the same standard. Its honey-and-poppy-seed dressing was wonderfully creamy but too sweet; I like a bit of vinegar tartness in my slaw.
Bangers, for the uninitiated, are sausages. Bangers and mash, therefore, is a dish that pairs sausages with mashed potatoes. Jeffers makes his own bangers from Carlton Farms (Willamette Valley) pork, fennel and apples, and they are very good. The thick, 5-inch sausages are grilled, sliced lengthwise, laid on a bed of coarsely blended potatoes with a side of sauteed spinach, and covered with a generous ladle of thick brown demi-glace gravy. They are delicious.
Although on my return I intend to try the classic Scotch egg, the chicken pot pie and the "oink and boink" beef-and-pork burger, I wasn't quite as impressed by everything on the pub menu.
The macaroni and cheese, for instance, was far too salty for my taste. Made with small spiral pasta blended with Gruyere cheese and big chunks of bacon, it had the peppery flavor that I enjoy, but made me beg for another beer.
The spinach salad was unimaginative compared to other menu items. Leaves of baby spinach were tossed with rings of pickled red onion, thickly sliced cucumber and crumbled goat cheese, then finished with a light vinaigrette. It wasn't bad, but I craved more, perhaps something as simple as pear tomatoes and croutons — or, better yet, dried cranberries and hazelnuts. This salad was too basic.
And then there were the desserts, including an apple-bread pudding and a type of cinnamon roll labeled, with wry British humor, the "spotted dick." I passed on those, instead ordering a "chocolate pig."
Although I'm not a big sweets lover, I thought this chocolate cake, awash in molten chocolate sauce with a side of caramel, was pretty good.
However, my dining companion — who happens to be a chocolate aficionado — was turned off by the pumpkin spice in an accompanying cream sauce. I'm convinced it was simply a matter of taste.
Fine response
Mercer is delighted with the initial response to the Pig & Pound, which opened in early October. "I've given Redmond what Redmond wants," he said.
I'll have to agree. Although I miss the wine bar and bistro that was formerly in this location — the 750 Wine Bar succeeded Avery's, and I truly enjoyed the eclectic international fare offered by its mother-daughter owners — the Pig & Pound seems to have struck a chord with the downtown Redmond neighborhood where it is located, between City Hall and the public library.
Eight taps offer an ever-changing selection of Oregon and international beers and hard ciders. At least one usually draws a selection from Redmond's own Phat Matt's.
The staff is low-key but friendly and knowledgeable about food and beverages. The menu is posted on a pair of blackboards.
Eight bar stools have a ringside seat for sports presented on a television behind the bar, while a half-dozen tables easily accommodate another 20 patrons in this low-lit establishment. When warmer weather arrives, there will be more seating options on a spacious deck.
Classic rock, featuring British rockers from Sting to the Rolling Stones, provides a soundtrack to ongoing conversation. When I last departed, David Bowie was singing about "Ch-ch-ch-changes." But I think the Pig & Pound is pretty good just the way it is.
A new restaurant combining upscale diner fare with that of a French brasserie has been announced for the downtown Bend space formerly held by El Jimador. The restaurant, which plans a spring opening, is not yet named. Bend Diner Company partner Ted Swigert, formerly food-and-beverage director at Portland's Heathman Hotel, said it will offer a menu ranging from burgers and shakes to mussels and fries. It will open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunches. 801 Wall St. (at Franklin Avenue), Bend.

Thruxton pivotal for Airwaves team
Airwaves Racing is hoping to kick off its season proper at Thruxton after two challenging race weekends so far in the 2013 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
The team has grappled with both set-up and reliability issues up to now, but is quietly confident that this weekend at Thruxton in Hampshire (4-5 May) will see a reversal in fortunes.
The Motorbase squad has a good record at Thruxton, with Mat Jackson taking a second place in 2011 and a win in 2012 driving the S2000 specification Ford Focus ST. Jackson is adamant that this must be the turning point in…

The 61st Street and Yale Avenue intersection received the fewest improvements from the Yale Avenue widening project because the intersection received its extensive widening in 1983-1984 as part of the 61st Street widening project between Yale Avenue and Sheridan Road. The intersection's major change from the Yale Avenue project was eliminating the right-turn lanes on Yale Avenue, as they now are part of the third through lane. The former northbound right-turn lane now connects to the third northbound lane north of 61st Street, while the former southbound right-turn lane continues as the third lane constructed in the earlier project that eventually is a right-turn lane into Warren Place (near 63rd Street). The left-turn signals again are restricted, which was necessary due to high traffic volumes and the four dual left-turn lanes that were installed during the aforementioned 61st Street project. The 61st Street approaches did not have any lane revisions, but one change involved replacing the curb-to-curb storm sewers with underground pipes and boxes, which made for a smoother ride on 61st Street. The Yale Avenue project was funded by the 1985 sales tax. Photo taken May 1993.

when you used pcc to create the partition, did you formated it with pcc? i had problems in the past formatting fat32 and ntfs with pcc
fdisk appears to provide the correct details; I could use it, but it means using root, which I wanted to avoid in the script.
The availability of fdisk to the user is dependent on the user being a member of a specific group .... not sure off hand which group ... maybe 'disk' ? ..... I would need to check to be sure ....I mention it as it might be useful for your particular application ...

Delaware artists inspired by books
"Delaware Artists Are Inspired by Books." What a lovely idea! And what a lovely exhibit of several pieces of art created by members of the Delaware Artists Guild that is currently on display at the Delaware County District Library's Main Library, 84 E. Winter St. Featuring several different types of media and artistic techniques, the exhibit highlights books that gave the artists inspiration to create.

If you are using passthru() to download files (for dynamically generated content or something outside webserver root) using similar code:
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"myfile.zip\"");
header("Content-Length: 11111");
passthru("cat myfile.zip",$err);
and your download goes fine, but subsequent downloads / link clicks are screwed up, with headers and binary data being all over the website, try putting
after the passthrough. This will exit the script after the download is done and will not interfere with any future actions.
passthru — Execute an external program and display raw output
[, int &$return_var
] )
The passthru() function is similar to the
exec() function in that it executes a
. This function
should be used in place of exec() or
system() when the output from the Unix command
is binary data which needs to be passed directly back to the
browser. A common use for this is to execute something like the
pbmplus utilities that can output an image stream directly. By
setting the Content-type to image/gif and
then calling a pbmplus program to output a gif, you can create
PHP scripts that output images directly.
The command that will be executed.
If the
argument is present, the return status of the Unix command will be placed here.
Return Values
No value is returned.
When allowing user-supplied data to be passed to this function, use escapeshellarg() or escapeshellcmd() to ensure that users cannot trick the system into executing arbitrary commands.
If a program is started with this function, in order for it to continue running in the background, the output of the program must be redirected to a file or another output stream. Failing to do so will cause PHP to hang until the execution of the program ends.
Note: When safe mode is enabled, you can only execute files within the safe_mode_exec_dir. For practical reasons, it is currently not allowed to have .. components in the path to the executable.
With safe mode enabled, the command string is escaped with escapeshellcmd(). Thus, echo y | echo x becomes echo y \| echo x.
See Also
- exec() - Execute an external program
- system() - Execute an external program and display the output
- popen() - Opens process file pointer
- escapeshellcmd() - Escape shell metacharacters
- backtick operator
If you have chrooted apache and php, you will also want to put /bin/sh into the chrooted environment. Otherwise, the exec() or passthru() will not function properly, and will produce error code 127, file not found.
Note to Paul Giblock: the command *is* run through the shell.
You can verify this on any Linux system with
passthru ('echo $PATH');
You'll get the content of the PATH environment variable, not the string $PATH.
I wrote function, that gets proxy server value from the Internet Explorer (from
registry). It was tested in Windows XP Pro
(Sorry for my English)
function getProxyFromIE()
exec("reg query \"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft".
"\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\" /v ProxyEnable",
exec("reg query \"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft".
"\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\" /v ProxyServer",
return false; #Can't access the registry! Very very bad...
return false;
$proxy=ereg_replace("^[ \t]{1,10}ProxyServer\tREG_SZ[ \t]{1,20}","",
foreach($proxy as $i => $v)
return false;
return $proxy;
return $proxy;
Note, that this function returns FALSE if proxy is disabled in Internet
Explorer. This function returns ONLY HTTP proxy server.
echo "Can't get proxy!";
echo $proxy;
I had an issue when i used exec
I think we were echoing information on the test.php script.
for eg: when we tried
exec(php test.php,$array,$error);
the return was 127 and the code was failing.
checking the note on this page gave us a hint to use passthru instead.
The only thing to note is that you need to provide the fuull path.
now our command became
passthru(/bin/php /pathtotest/test.php,$array,$error);
this works.
When upgrading my redhat server to enterprise 4, selinux was turned on. This caused one of my php scripts (that uses passthru) to fail. After some nice help from redhat, I was able to get the script running again. Here is what helped me.
If you get permission errors (in /var/log/httpd/error_log) which seem to be from selinux (and not standard chmod or chown issues), make sure that the folder you are using is not in /tmp and has the selinux context of httpd_sys_script_rw_t as can be set as follows:
chcon -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t folder_name
Hope this helps someone...
PHP's program-execution commands fail miserably when it comes to STDERR, and the proc_open() command doesn't work all that consistently in non-blocking mode under Windows.
This command, although useful, is no different. To form a mechanism that will see/capture both STDOUT and STDERR output, pipe the command to the 'tee' command (which can be found for Windows), and wrap the whole thing in output buffering.
Dustin Oprea
I'd like to refer about the use of use of passthru as a substitute to include or require which I didn't see before. It helped me to workaround a problem with a script which fatally failed only when included or required. I presume that it had to be with recursive includes because there where memory exhaustion messages that didn't get fixed even when increasing the memory limit with ini_set(). As I had no time to re-code it, the fix of the problem was to get the output of the script via a passthru call.
Something like this:
# ...
# (function stuff)
passthru("php myscript.php, $result");
echo '
',$content_grabbed,'
';
# (more function stuff)
# ...
I don't know about drawbacks that this method might have. Maybe and increased overhead? Anyway I was happy to circumvent the problem with it.
The pasthru function does not execute the program through the shell. What this mean, among other things, is that your PATH variable is never set. Therefore, you have to use full paths on everything.
I believe system() will run your program underneith a shell. This allow the program to run in a 'normal' environment.
I dunno if anyone else might find this useful, but when I was trying to use the passthru() command on Suse9.3 I was having no success with the command:
$command = 'gdal_translate blahahahaha';
It only worked once I put:
$command = '/usr/bin/local/gdal_translate blalalala';
Thought it might beuseful to note the passthru seems to supress error messages whilst being run in Dos on Windows (test on NT).
To show FULL raw output including errors, use system().

Remember to use the full path (IE '/usr/local/bin/foo' instead of 'foo') when using passthru, otherwise you'll get an exit code of 127 (command not found).
Remember, you'll also get this error if your file does not have executable permission.
Regarding swbrown's comment...you need to use an output buffer if you don't want the data displayed.
For example:
$var = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); //Use this instead of ob_flush()
This gets all the output from the command, and exits without sending any data to stdout.
Remember to use the full path (IE '/usr/local/bin/foo' instead of 'foo') when using passthru, otherwise you'll get an exit code of 127 (command not found).
Regarding kpierre's post, be mindful that if you shell script errors, you will find the error output from it in the base error_log file (not virtualhost error_log) in apache.
With apache 2.x on RH9 passthru() writes 1 byte at a time. Apache 2.x buffers and chunk encodes the output for you - but the chunked encoding devides the output in chunks of 1 byte each...thus several bytes of overhead per byte. I guess that buffering behaviour is by design - but caused problems for me with IE adobe acrobot 5 plugin. The plugin doesn't like like it if you send it a stream of 1 byte chunks - it tells you your file is not a pdf or gives a blank screen. Using output buffering (ob_start / ob_endflush) gives reasonable size chunks and the plugin works OK.
passthru() seems absolutely determined to buffer output no matter what you do, even with ob_implicit_flush(). The solution seems to be to use popen() instead.
The documention does not mention that passthru() will only display standard output and not standard error.
If you are running a script you can pipe the STDERR to STDOUT by doing
exec 2>&1
Eg. the script below will actually print something with the passthru() function...
exec 2>&1
ulimit -t 60
cat nosuchfile.txt
If you sometimes get no output from passthru() use system() instead. This solved this problem for me (php 4.0.5 on Tru64 Unix compiled with gcc).
PJ's ulimit example is nice; however, if you include multiple commands in the script after the ulimit command, each gets its own, seperate 60 second time slot!

Furthermore, these sixty seconds are *CPU* time. Most programs hang for other reasons than CPU hogging (for example, waiting for a database connection) so for most purposes the number 60 is rather too high.

Try "ulimit -t 1" first, which will give you about 10^9 cycles on modern hardware -- quite enough to get a lot of work done!
About the problem of zombies, you may call a bash script like this:
#! /bin/bash
ulimit -t 60
<your command here>

Sue, Great Review!!!
Our photos were not that good since they told us to take our good camera back to the car.. You looked pretty , however..
Can't believe mine were good, I'm not photogenic at all, but yours look so sweet.. really enjoyed our time , sure wish my husband and I had time to meet all of you at the Conch house, but my son was here late with my new babies. could never leave them and will see them again too.
Sue, so glad to know you got home all the way from MN ok. Your hubby should come with you for sure!
My husband goes to the symphony but he never refuses to drive me to an Alan Concert. Well actually he loves to eat & I would boycott the kitchen if he didn't lol j/k remember Sue, I told you how long we had been married ha! It works. we married at 2 or 3 lol
The concert was really uptempo in Hollywood, even more so than St Augustine I think. Oh Yes, at St Augustine the guards were standing by the side in the pit area..so that may be why you din't see them. I heard a group pf people talking and looked and it was "Strayhorn & backup singer w/Alan,Monty Allen", so I jumped up and asked him if I could shake hands with him, he is super nice! He said "yes!" and was so kind and I could hardly speak from yelling & asthma, so I told him(of all things ha) he said "do you use that albuterol" I do ha! I had seen him a lot of times and never spoke to him, ,love his voice and his own CD! nice meeting him.Sorry I failed to tell him that .I heard Terry say" this is Jerrie",so I probably interupted something ha! Thanks Terry for the introduction, my thoughts were failing me.. I never did see you then ha! but thanks for Terry to the rescue!
I am so terribly sorry we didn't get to meet Pontus and Sabrina, please accept our apology. our son came in and we just could not leave. Come back again and visit Florida! we saw you and the Flag from our seats! I am not good to go all over meeting people, but I love people. I guess I'm a bit like Alan( only I talk a LOT!)What a great memory seeing the ones we saw and hearing the best Country Singer. And I thought he had left Florida out of his Tour ha! Two concerts in a few days is the BEST! After meeting Alan , I feel like I know him even more, anyone else? what a night!! I lost my voice from yelling and Hubby loves it lol j/k not really ha!
Blessings to all, Jerrie Aka Artsy
sue loved our little visit and my hubby did too!Thanks! Dizzy thanks for your coming my also, my hubby likes you!
The concert in St Augustine was much like the one at Hollywood, but Chris Young didn't sing there. I like his new song!
Sabrina and Pontus, Thanks for making our Concerts so much fun by sharing your experiences and beautiful photos. It was made even more wonderful by seeing all your Posts about your trip! You made it so much fun for us to enjoy reading and seeing the photos. My Husband made a photo of you and your Sabrina with the Flag at St Augustine but he has not downloaded them yet, we had to take our good camera back to the car, so this was just a small cheap one..I was hoping we could meet up with you guys all back before the Concert but could not see anyone. we had drinks at a nice place by the Venue & rested up from walking so much. St Augustine surprised me with this pretty nice venue, we never go to outdoor ones as I'm asthamatic, but it was cool
being by the side and row 6. You could probably see better than us being in the center. Sharon, sorry I missed seeing you! So happy all of you got to meet up with Sabrina and Pontus at the Conch House. Sounds like fun! Sorry we missed that.. Such a pleasure having Sabrina and Pontus visit with Fans from Here , just wish I had been there! Come back to FL again sometime!
BTW- Congrats on your being wed in that beautiful old church there and marvelous honeymoon here!Much . Much Happiness to You in the future!
Jerrie aka Artsy--FL & MS
I hope someone has some nice photos at St Augustine!

Thank you everyone for your great reviews. What a great time you all had at dinner and then it sounds like the concert was the best fun at a concert ever.
Jinx I am so glad you meet Pontus and Sabrina and so many fans. I also think ALAN has evolved into a SUPERSTAR.
Jeri I am so sorry you missed the dinner, but I can see how grandkids come first and how they make you tired. I have two of my own. I think it was nice of Sue to come to you and bring Dizzy. Sue sounds so sweet.
Luckylady44 It must have been fun to have a whole row of fans seating together. I'm sorry you lost your digital camera. I hope someone really nice finds it and get it back to you.
Pontus and Sabrina thanks again for everything. Take Care and keep having fun and LIVIN ON LOVE nelle
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things HE gave us and the greatest is Love. WWY

Hey Deb and Bill......I was really sorry not to see you in St. Augustine. I am still so
thankful for the DVD of Alan in Charlotte. Especially the pictures of us holding up the
GOOD TIME signs. Thank you again so much! All Alan concerts are awesome!

It is so good to see so many people posting reviews on the St. Augustine show. Loved all of them.
By the time Louann and Deb got to the condo we just didn't have time to get to the Conch to meet up with everyone for dinner. Sounds like y'all had a great time. Louann, Deb, Margie and I went there on Monday afternoon, during a downpour!! Great place. Bill and Deb, we must have just missed you, I think we were there mid afternoon.
It was so good to see so many fans again and spend some time with some of them. Dizzy, sorry we never did have a chance to talk much with me bouncing all over the place. Seemed like every time I turned around someone nabbed me for something. I was up at the stage during the whole concert and never did get back there to visit before you left.
Sharon, I found your camera and will bring it to Maryville next weekend. When I went to turn it in to security that night they suggested I wait if possible and turn it in to the venue during business hours since most of security just work shows. I checked after reading here you lost it, and after talking to you to make sure it was yours.
We had a blast staying at a condo on the beach for a few days. More great memories and tons of fun. I got home late last night to 50 degree weather after leaving Orlando in 90 plus degrees.

Jean/b , I was just telling Terry I feel more comfortable when I see she is there, maybe she is..
Perhaps Alan feels she is his also and all the guys who talk to her in the Band.
She is a Godsend!
I enjoyed the Meet and Greet in Tupelo!
Thanks so much for your time! Nice meeting you Alan!

Jeep Grand Cherokee passes 'moose test'
The Jeep Grand Cherokee failed the first moose test and passed the second. Jeep says it was overloaded.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee failed the first moose test and passed the second. Jeep says it was overloaded.
The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee has passed the "moose test," as performed by Auto, Motor und Sport in Germany. This is after the SUV reportedly failed the first test, which was done earlier this year by the Swedish publication Teknikens V�rld. Unfortunately, there's no video of the new test.
Auto, Motor und Sport says that the Grand Cherokee won't roll over, even during sharp steering maneuvers, even when fully loaded with passengers and cargo. Jeep is eager to publicize the news, as more than its ego suffered as a result of the Teknikens test.
The test, standardized by the German Automotive Manufacturer Association, has guidelines for how far cones should be set apart, how many passengers can be in the vehicle and how much weight can be loaded.
The report says that, whether loaded with two people or with the maximum weight allowed, all four wheels maintained contact with the ground. Jeep claims the results of the German test confirm the theory that the Cherokee used in the Swedish "moose test" was overloaded.
Check out the video from the failed test below.

6 Best Blushes -- and the 6 Worst
Want a perfectly-flushed complexion? You need a great blush. Here are the ones that'll help you glow -- and the ones that are so bad they'll turn your cheeks red with frustration
September 21, 2011 | by Stephanie Shum | 88 COMMENTS
Why: Readers agree that the packaging of this product sucks. "Drop it once, it breaks some. Drop it twice, it is history. Plus, it's extremely annoying to open," says one reader. The size of the product "is more like the size of an eyeshadow" and it's "SO small my blush brush barely fits," says another. The texture of the blush is "so crumbly" that "even the slightest touch would create a powder disaster." One reader says, "plastic dolls have better quality makeup than this stuff" and another reader agrees, saying "it should've arrived with a plastic tiara." For women with darker skin tones, this blush "doesn't show up very well" and "looks ashy" on the skin.

Helpful article, but must admit I'm hooked on NARS blush. Great selection of colors all w/the most subtle glow. My color choice is ANGELIKA. Off, its a real Cotton Candy pink w/the tiniest hint of silver. Not to worry. On, it's not a bright pink, just the perfect pink! I put it on in the morning, might do a touch up at midday, then a swipe in the pm. The case is slim & sleek, making it a perfect fit for the Clutches that are so big this season.

Great article. There are some products that I have (like lip glosses, lipsticks, and mascara) that I have quite of bit of and I am currently wanting to expand my blush collection. Knowing what to avoid and look at really helps! I love Tarte cosmetics and I have heard nothing but GREAT things about their blushes. Also, I plan on picking up the Happy Booster blush...one of my fave beauty gurus just gushes over this product.

Loving blushes, I enjoyed this best and worst list. I definitely want to check out the Tarte and Physicians Formula ones mentioned since they have been hyped so much. I only wish that particular shades would be mentioned in these. Saying that a blush looks good on different skin tones in irrelevant when we don't know what color the reviewer is talking about. All you can comment on for a brand or line of blush is the texture, application and staying power.

So happy that Laura Mercier blush made #1! I've been using both the powder blush and the creme blush for years-I'll dab a bit of the creme onto my chicks then dust some of the powder blush on top to accentuate the color and matte the look -- if i want to remain dewy then I just use the creme alone. Good stuff!

i agree with the worst blush pick (revlon colorstay)... I tried it, had to exchange it because I thought I had chosen the wrong shade, but eventually realized I just wasted my money

Karon Sovereign All Suites Resort的餐厅提供早餐、午餐和晚餐。
Only 3 km south of Patong, this beach is famed for its five-kilometre long white beach sand that squeaks under your feet. Mostly single row sunbeds decked along the stretch offer unsurpassed and unblocked views. Turtles are periodic nocturnal visitors to the beach. Recreational activities at this beach include paragliding, windsurfing, snorkeling, and volleyball. Thai Massage and reflexology are also offered on the beach.
步行15分钟左右可以到达KARON海滩以及7-11,路口有不少工地,在烈日下走起来比较糟心;但酒店院子内部很温馨宁静,均由叠加的别墅组成,有小小世外桃源的感觉。厨房配备油烟机、双眼电磁炉、烤箱还有冰箱和微波炉,以及所有需要的刀叉、盘子等厨具,是适合长期居住的地方。如果住在一楼的话,出门穿过阳台就是游泳池;但是感觉并不是十分安全,第一晚我们去海滩之后再回来,原来紧锁的门开了一条缝,导致老人一晚没有睡好。预订部的janya经历和nicky都十分nice,前期沟通细致且很耐心,提供了很多便利。餐饮还不错,大家都说早餐种类不多,确实如此,不过其实其它大酒店基本也就是这样,不能和国内相比,营养和吃饱是完全满足了的。但有两个地方并不满意:一是房间的沙发套看起来不是很干净,各种污渍;二是餐厅的职员感觉不是 […] 很友善,不管早餐晚餐,就餐感觉都不好。 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

非常满意酒店门口的海滩,很赞!酒店内部像是一个花园,绿化不错,游泳池也不错。吃了一顿海景晚餐,味道很好,虽然价格略高,但是是非常美好的回忆,以后若是住皇帝岛还会再来这家酒店Hotels.com 真实住客点评
喜欢这里的一切,非常干净,崭新,现代,宽敞的双人房,在公寓的二楼(没有电梯)。有个小厨房,里面有微波炉,水壶,超大的冰箱(没有其他炊具了)。大阳台上有一张桌子,四把椅子。浴室很大,浴缸上面有淋浴,另一个卧室还有个浴室。自助早餐有谷物类,水果,酸奶,面包,牛角面包,煎蛋,香肠,培根等等。餐厅的菜谱只针对午餐和晚餐,隔壁的太平洋俱乐部要更超值点(选择多,价格好)。卡隆有很多餐馆,步行10分钟就到了。工作人员很有好热情。白天走在很窄的路面很安全,晚上就不一定,因为路灯照明不好。我要么早点在市区吃饭,天黑前回来,要么在隔壁吃。每天都有免费摆渡巴士到海滩和卡隆市中心。如果觉得卡隆海滩不适合游泳,10铢乘坐当地巴士到美丽的卡塔海滩。推荐这家酒店,而且会再回来住的。Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"not too sovereign"
The receptionists were not very helpful and not courteous. They were all rude. We expereienced a lot of power outages and the wifi signal sucks. The rooms were too small, to think it was a family suite we got. It was also far from the main street.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"perfect all-suites spacious resort for family"
great value, luxuriously appointed spacious rooms; service needs to be propped up though - on checkin the receiptionist insisted on collecting airport transfer fee upfront & was a stickler in enforcing the 2pm checkin rule. One of the staff at the restaurant was not very forthcoming & seemed reluctant to serve us - if only I could remember his name […] - short malay-looking guy. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Could be better..."
The Resort Pros: Good place if you are looking to spend quality time with your family and friends as the resort is tucked away nicely away from the crowd (a 10-15mins walk to Karon Beach). Great pool and we spent a good deal of our time having fun in it. Most of the staffs in the resort are friendly and always looking after your needs. Cons: A sewage […] plant at the back of the resort which occasionally emitting out pungent odour and the smell is more frequent and stronger during the mid day. The smell was not an issue while we were in our rooms. Thai food in the hotel was reasonably priced for a resort but the quality was of average. We were left with a bad taste and left us with a lot to ponders after we were served with a spoilt mango sticky rice for our room service. One timing for complimentary ride to karon beach at 1030am The Room: Penthouse suites Pros: Big area and clean Met expectation for a resort room Cons: Inconsistent supply of hot water for the shower despite regulating the tap. Got scalded on a few occasions as if there is a sudden surge with the supply of hot water and sometimes it was just cold water with the tap adjusted for hot water. Balconies of our rooms are directly linked to the corridor without any barriers. We have to keep our balcony door locked at all time even when we were in the rooms. Look out for the sharp corners of the coffee table as one of the rooms has it fully exposed and we got ourselves a few scratches when navigating round it. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great for family with older kids"
We had a junior family suite,2 x adults 2 x teenagers. The hotel is great. Its about a 10-15 min walk from the beach restaurants and markets, which was no problem for us, but might be if you dont like to walk in the heat.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"very nice hotel"
The hotels room are all suites. with this price the room is very good value for money. very clean and new. very quiet, great for family stay. the pool is nice with salt water. breakfast is delicious. Only two drawbacks, one is location, you need to walk 15-20min to the busy street of Karon, and one day we decide to rent a motorbike, they are all fully […] booked. Another thing is the service. Only a few of them can speak English. Sometimes hard to communicate. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Dewa Resort - Average"
I took my mother and daughter for a 5 day stay stay at the Dewa Resort, overall it was ok. I was surprised that a resort which was only just over 12mths old was already tired looking. Our room which was a Family Suite (2bdrms 2 baths) was very tired, granite bench tops very scratched, walls/paint very marked and grubby looking. Kitchen cupboards needed […] a good clean, there were splashes and runs of possibly milk on them. Mirror on the cupboard door in bed 2 had fingerprints on it. Overall just grubby. The beds were the worst beds I have ever slept in! and I've travelled extensively, they were so bad I ended up sleeping on the couch which was more comfortable, we organised another doona which mum slept on top of, just to make it a little more comfortable for her. When I looked at pics on Dewa they showed a couch and easy chair in the lounge, we only had a 3 seater couch, so there really wasn't alot of having your own space for a room which is supposed to cater for 4 adults! When we went for a swim there was thick mould around the inner rim of the pool and also where the waterfall is into the lower section of the pool, it was really off putting and didn't really want to swim in there after seeing this (yuk) Also had several problems with air conditioning not cooling properly, which in the 2nd bedroom was never really resolved. On a positive note, the food was excellent, the staff very friendly and extremely polite and helpful, particularly the gentlemen. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

The hotel is very comfortable and all the staff were friendly and helpful. We all loved The pool. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We could manage the walk to town and the beach but it was a bit Difficult for my parents.

"Dewa was great"
Our stay at the Dewa was great. The staff are friendly and will help you with anything that they can. Our room was clean and the surrounds were clean.

"Very good accomodation for family holidays"
Very good Hotel for family holidays. Nice and clean room and apartment style living. The negatives are the too many stairs around the property and climbing on stairs to first floor accomodation and second floor accomodation is a bit tiring. Hotel staff is very inflexibile checkin and checkout times. Like we arrived 20 min before their 2pm standard check-in […] times, yet we couldn't get to our room. Despite the fact that they were aware of our flight plans. We arrived in Phuket after a tiring 12 hours tiring journey and long BKK transit. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great Time for the Whole Family"
We loved our Stay at the Dewa Karon Beach the resort was very pretty and the apartment very very comfortable with aircon in each room. Water supplied free daily as the water is not drinkable from taps. Pool was great. Staff very friendly and the complimentary Breakfast was wonderful however we all put on weight it was so good. The Town of Karon is […] lovely and great for the Family lots of friendly locals willing to help a foreigner. The only thing I feel would improve the whole experience would be more free transports times to and from the hotel to the Town of Karon as it is a 15 min walk down hill there and up hill back. Even with this we would definitely recommend anyone to go stay at this superb resort. Well worth it. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Breakfast was good though there wasn't a huge variety but enough to keep you happy .The omolettes were beautiful.

A really good hotel for the price. It's nestled at the foot of the mountain a little bit back from the beach and has beautiful views of the pristine mountains and the sea.

"Dewa Karon Beach. A wonderful place to stay"
The resort staff are wonderful and management speak english. We stayed in a 2 bedroom appartment which was very spaceous and equipt with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The resort is a walk down hill to town but you can catch a taxi for 200baht no matter how many people as they also have a mini bus. The restuarant breakfast and meals […] are very tasty. My family and I sampled quite alot of their menu and found it to be cooked with Thai influence and care. They have musical entertainment on 3 nights a week by a very talented musician which coencided with their happy hour, which is a great place to meet new people and have a wonderful time. My family and I would highly recommend this resort . We stayed 16 days and enjoyed every day even rainy days as the staff go out of their way to make you happy.

The hotel is placed in imaculate tropical gardens, the staff are always friendly and speak good english, we were upgraded to a family suite on arrival which was clean, spacious and luxurious. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the beach which we didn't mind walking, for those who prefer though the hotel provides a shuttle daily. Breakfast is amazing with […] a range from western cooked breaky to fruits and buns. All in all I would recommend this affordable oasis to anyone without hesitation. For a 3 star price it was more like a 5 star resort. The only negative I can say is the room service menu was a limited version of the restaurant menu and got a bit same-ish if you ordered in a lot. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Ciudad Acuña, a tiny town on the Mexican side of Del Rio, Texas, has been in the news regularly because of drug-related violence. But police in this city have decided to focus on a more serious threat — miniskirts.
Until a couple of months ago, few in Mexico City knew who Heydar Aliyev was, and even fewer of those were aware that a marble and bronze statue erected in his honour sat smack in the middle of Reforma Avenue, one of Mexico's most recognised streets. A plaque standing before the statue detailed the former president of Azerbaijan's "loyalty to the universal ideals of world peace".
A 28-year-old middle school teacher at a private school in Mexico City has been fired after showing her students the 2008 film Milk, which tells the story of gay rights activist Harvey Milk, who was murdered in San Francisco in the 1970s. Mexico's capital has been celebrated as a champion of gay rights in the region, permitting civil unions in 2006 and approving gay marriagein 2009. However, the scandal around the dismissal of the teacher, Cecilia Hernandez, shows some of the ongoing battles for gay rights in the city.
Violent confrontations in Mexico City on 1 December between police and thousands of demonstrators protesting the swearing in of President Enrique Peña Nieto continue to reverberate, as human rights and media protection organisations grapple with how to guide protesters to exercise their fundamental free speech rights.
Ana Arana.
In Mexico drug cartels continue to dictate news agenda and in some areas, have even infiltrated the newsroom. A new investigation by Fundacion MEPI reveals the extent to which news outlets fear of cartel retaliation and a shortage of accurate government information keep the public in the dark.

I like to think I'm open-minded, but I don't really have any tolerance for ignorance and I get angry at the injustices of the world way too often. Aside from all of that negative stuff I just told you about me (except the gay thing; being gay is not bad or wrong in any way), I'm pretty silly once you get to know me, and I have the oddest obsession with zombies.

Abstact Artform have come a long way since the release of their debut album "Prairie Kid" back in 2008, which garnered them high praise as one of Winnipeg's leading acts. Then, when AA released their sophomore album "His Story In The Making" in 2010, the band catapulted onto radars across Canada as they peaked at #2 on bothChart Attack and !earshot Hip Hop College Radio Charts, as well as making the Top 25 Hip Hop charts on CMJ in the USA, along with added rotation on Winnipeg's HOT 103.1FM and STREETZ 104.7FM of their hit single "Summer in the City ft. Doodlebug (of Digable Planets)".
Now the International Songwriting competition finalists are back with their third edition of blues/funk influenced Hip-Hop with "As the Crow Flies" produced by Juno-nominated producer Fresh Kils and features collaborations with blues/roots artists such as Rambling Dan Frechette and Juno-nominated D-Sisive.
"Halifax's Classified might be trying to establish himself as the preeminent writer of hip-hop songs tied to our national identity, but Winnipeg's Abstract Artform might just give him a run for his money.
The group, fronted by MC and producer Shea "Kid A" Malcolmson, fuses live jazz and soul-like music with vocal delivery familiar to fans of groups like Jurassic 5. Their "I Am Canadian" single from 2010's His Story In The Making is a hit waiting to happen while other cuts share and celebrate life in a Prairie capital. Upcoming full-length As The Crow Flies is their second in as many years and the third since 2008's Prairie Kid. The band's work ethic has garnered them consecutive appearances at the taste-making NXNE festival, a 12-month stay on the Chart college lists, and a slew of other appearances and opportunities.
With easy flow, great instrumentals, and lyrics worth turning an ear to, Abstract Artform should be must-play material for any Canadian hip-hop fan." – Canadian Musician Magazine

But since "Homeland"'s focus shifted this season, from the pressure on Carrie to the pressure on Brody, Lewis might take home a trophy. Plus, he's a Brit and this is the Hollywood Foreign Press, who tend to reward those things.
Best performance by an actor in a television series -- comedy or musical
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association awarded this honor to Matt LeBlanc for "Episodes" last year, but the show hasn't held up. This gives previous winner and perpetual nominee Alec Baldwin the favorite position -- especially given that this is the last season of "30 Rock."
However, his competition includes Louis C.K. who is more identified with his program -- and not just because it's his name. He's the creator, writer, director, producer, editor and star of the show and won Emmys for acting, writing and directing "Louie" this last go-round. Baldwin may win, but Louis C.K. should win.
Best performance by an actress in a television series -- comedy or musical
The nominees this year include returnees Zooey Deschanel (for "New Girl"), Tina Fey (for "30 Rock") and Amy Poehler (for "Parks and Recreation"), plus two stars of two new shows: Julia Louis-Dreyfus (for "Veep") and Lena Dunham (for "Girls").
If Deschanel, Fey and Poehler couldn't beat winner Laura Dern last year, they don't provide much competition, even if two of them are Golden Globes co-hosts. Though sentimental value (the last season of "30 Rock"!) might boost both Baldwin and Fey, she doesn't think she'll win; she casts her vote for BFF Poehler.
We think it's more likely, however, that Louis-Dreyfus will take it, given her Emmy win and "Veep" creator Armando Iannucci's U.K. roots (again, foreign press decides this one). But the one we're rooting for is Dunham, who plays a character who feels more real and authentic than most of what's on television.
Best performance by an actress in a mini-series or motion picture made for television
"Game Change" may or may not win, but Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin will, even if her competition is Nicole Kidman ("Hemingway & Gellhorn"), Jessica Lange ("American Horror Story: Asylum"), Sienna Miller ("The Girl") and Sigourney Weaver ("Political Animals").

Fayetteville Hostess Bakery Store to Close
By: Amanda Ashley
Updated: November 16, 2012
On Friday, the baker of iconic Twinkies cakes and other goodies asked a court's permission to shutdown the entire company after a strike crippled its operations.
We talked to the manager of the Hostess Bakery outlet located on West Street in Fayetteville who told us they will be done once the existing inventory has been sold. She said there has been a bit of a rush on favorites like HoHo's, Ding Dongs and of course, those Twinkies, since news broke of the company's plans to shutter.
According to the manager, who has run the store for 6 years, they expect to be closed in a matter of days.

Could you please reply to the questions with examples of local zoning codes that respond to the issue of windowless dwelling units. Providing information on other regions of the country, and providing professional opinions on this topic could substantiate my concerns and provide me with the necessary tools to present to our city planning commissioners and our city's planning staff. Additionally, if this is a strong concern, and if the National Park Service is in effect promoting this type of renovation work as part of the very much, needed government rehabilitation tax credit program, then maybe the discussion should extend beyond the AIA. Thanks for your responses. ------------------------------------------- David Johannas AIA Johannas Design Group Richmond VA -------------------------------------------
What is the AIA's involvement with historical preservation guidelines? Seems to me that we should advocate for the National Park Service and other historic registries to take a flexible stance on architectural improvements. Adding courtyards for daylighting, ventilation and perhaps access to the outdoors would increase the livability, as well as the value, for these old warehouses. If historic buildings can't be modified (appropriately) to serve a new function, then that hampers their viability to be redeveloped. Adaptive Reuse is the best way to preserve the historic fabric of our cities. Otherwise, these buildings will go unused and ultimately condemned and demolished.
I don't know the extent of the AIA's involvement in historic preservation guidelines, but I have found that some preservationists can take a very narrow view of acceptable remodeling. In this case it appears that their desire to preserve historic warehouses ignores human dignity for the sake of architectural accuracy. Building codes prevail until the federal government is involved, which may be why windows for habitable spaces are being ignored.
If they can't find a more compatible use for the building they should consider the adaptive reuse you mention, but adaptive logic conflicts with a desire to preserve buildings as monuments to the past. In this case, it appears that the buildings must pay for themselves; but the approach involves tenement decisions that will return immediate benefit to a developer and leave the city with eventual decline. This outcome was acknowledged by the New York Tenement Act of 1901 when our nation was first recognizing the public right to health, safety and welfare. (Their right to light, air and ventilation actually had to be legislated.) They were hard-won improvements to a quality of life that still suffers from a failure to recognize open space as an essential ingredient.
We continue to believe that movement systems and parking lots weave a city together when the divisions they produce can only be woven together with a combination of project and public open space. I'm getting off the track, so let me finish be repeating something we all know. History often repeats itself when its lessons are forgotten.
By the way, I'm not familiar with national historic preservation guidelines. They may not include a requirement to adhere to building and zoning codes when renovating, remodeling, changing use, etc.; or they may allow discretion beyond adaptive re-use.
There may be no distinction between renovating to preserve a historic bookmark and renovating for active use in society. If there isn't, there is a loophole in the effort to protect the public health, safety and welfare from the freedom to dominate. This freedom prompted the "Progressive Era". I can't believe our government wants to return to the days of Oliver Twist, but this is where unrestrained private interest can lead us.

IUCN Washington, D.C. and Global Island Partnership (GLISPA)
IUCN Washington, D.C. is host to the Coordination Unit of the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA). As an important GLISPA partner, IUCN agreed to host GLISPA's coordination unit and to staff it with a Coordinator. IUCN is a member of the GLISPA Steering Committee and supports the GLISPA Coordination Unit. The GLISPA website is available at www.cbd.int/island/glispa.shtml.
About GLISPA
The Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) assists islands in addressing one of the world's greatest challenges — to conserve and sustainably utilize the invaluable island natural resources that support people, cultures and livelihoods in their island homes around the world. Recognizing that islands have unique and isolated natural systems and are particularly vulnerable in a rapidly changing world, this Partnership brings together island countries and countries with islands — small and large, developing and developed — to mobilize leadership, increase resources and share solutions in a cost-effective and sustainable way that will catalyze action for conservation and sustainable livelihoods on islands.
GLISPA is recognized by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as a partnership to advance the implementation of the CBD 2010 target to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss and the Programmes of Work on Island Biodiversity (IBPoW) and Protected Areas. GLISPA was created to help bridge local and global initiatives, build upon existing networks and programmes, and share knowledge among all of islands.
Since GLISPA's formation in 2005, countries, territories, agencies, organizations and leaders at all levels have made inspiring commitments and taken actions to protect island habitats around the world. Each commitment acts as a beacon to others, offering hope for success and help along the way. All leaders and groups committed to taking significant action to sustain livelihoods, conserve nature and address global change on islands are encouraged to join or participate in the Global Island Partnership.
Up to 2012, GLISPA will be supported by a collaborative Strategy, a small dedicated Coordination Team hosted by IUCN and a Steering Committee of lead partners to support the growing Partnership. GLISPA's focus for the next three years sees it continuing to work with island leaders and organizations on strategic initiatives to strengthen island action on critical issues, including:
- Supporting leadership and commitments to action on ecosystem-based adaptation and mitigation including the threat of invasive species.
- Integrating island conservation and sustainable livelihoods into the development dialogue.
- Supporting current GLISPA initiatives to promote successes and lessons including through exchanges and sharing of effective practices.
- Supporting the Seychelles with the emerging Western Indian Ocean Challenge—focused on adaptation.
- The Global Island Partnership is committed to continue supporting the outstanding leadership and extraordinary commitments of all its dedicated participants, and to sharing island successes and lessons with the world.
IUCN's Islands Initiative
The GLISPA Coordination Unit works closely with IUCN's Islands Initiative based with the Ecosystem Management Programme in IUCN HQ in Gland, Switzerland. For more information on the Islands Initiative please contact Olivier Tyack, Programme Officer, Islands at firstname.lastname@example.com and for more information on the Islands Initiative please click here.
The scope of IUCN's Islands Initiative is those islands, whether large or small, whose conservation and ecosystem management challenges are substantially shaped by "island" characteristics, including high levels of species diversity and endemism, openness of coastal ecosystems to land-based impacts, competition by people for limited resources including land and fresh water, and vulnerability to external forces, both natural and human-induced. The Initiative is thus not solely focused on Small Island Developing States, but looks more broadly at the qualities and issues that islands share regardless of their size or political status.
