By Paul Palumbo
Students living in Hitchcock 503 made a shocking discovery this afternoon when they found a large pentagram, painted in blood and then doodled on with sharpie, on the wall behind their closet.
The pentagram itself is an old Sumerian design which is believed to awaken nearby spirits of the dead and trap them in the world of the living, while the sharpie depicts large, crudely drawn male genitalia and the word "butt" written over and over.
"This explains a lot, actually," said freshman Orville Dentrum, one of the students living in the room. "Every so often things in my room would just fall over, or the doors would open and nobody would be there. And the only number that works on my calculator is six. Do you know how hard it is to pass Calculus when you can only use six?"
While there's no lead on who may have opened this portal into the underworld, school officials have hired famed exorcist and paranormal investigator Norman Bubs to pacify the otherworldly circle. "You'd be surprised what I've had to deal with in this line of work," said Bubs. "I just got back from New Orleans and this guy was haunted by a ghost that loved pancakes. He would come home after work and his entire apartment would be completely full of pancakes. That might sound like a fluffy breakfast dream, but believe me, it wasn't. With this dorm haunting, I highly suspect I'll need to fight my way through some haunted term papers."
School administration suggests that students check their own dorms for any satanic symbols, demonic demonstrations and accursed articles.
For a limited time, housing will include an "occult phenomena" section, where you can submit requests for elimination of deadly apparitions. Requests may take up to 666 weeks to complete, so almost as much as Maintenance Requests. Success not guaranteed.

LASD Academy - 1999
Realtor 1999 - Present - Full Time!
I suppose one of the hardest things I have ever done is write about myself or Paris.
I think I'm a pretty good guy :) and know one thing for sure. Paris and I were screwed big time when we
bought our first home back in 1996. Our agent took full advantage of us being young and being too trusting.
I went to real estate school, while I was a full time cop, because I was still pretty "bent" two years laterafter we bought our first home.
I needed to figure out how I was taken advantage of and if there were any ramifications for the agent doing so...
After attending Real Estate School, I found the answers to my questions and was able to get the situation resolved.
One of the local real estate companies called me, asked me if I'd be interested in working representing buyers and sellers of real estate, I thought to myself, "Why Not..."
In 1998, I joined with them and Paris joined me the following year.
Paris, from the beginning, was the full time part of our business and I was still a full time police officer for the City of Los Angeles CA.
I hate high pressure games in sales. I don't like those who'd rip off their own mother to make a dime. I see our team's mission, as does Paris, as if we have been destined to "Protect and Serve" our real estate clients.

Mariana Islands
summit elevation 788 m
Anatahan Island is situated about 120 km north of Saipan - the capital of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. It lies at the southern end of the 1500-km-long Izu-Bonin- Mariana arc.
The island of Anatahan is only 1% of the volume of the entire volcano, which is 3700 m high from submarine base to summit, and an average diameter of 35 km. The highest point on the island is immediately west of the caldera.
Anatahan Island measures 9 km (east–west) by 3.7 km (north–south). The summit of the island contains an elongate caldera, 5 km by 2 km. The caldera is approximately 10 sq km in size and occupies about a third of the island's area.
The east crater is located in the eastern part of the caldera. It is a a pit crater 1.4 km by 1.2 km in diameter, and 200 m deep.
2008 Activity
Seismic activity increased at Anatahan volcano in January 2008. A faint ash plume to 5,000 ft altitude was visible at Anatahan volcano on 28th July 2008.
2005 Eruption
The largest eruption of Anatahan volcano occurred on April 6, 2005, when ash reached 50,000 ft altitude. The eruption ejected about 50 million cubic meters of ash. A plume of vog from that eruption spread over the Philippine Sea, reaching about 1200 nautical miles west of Anatahan.
2003 Eruption
The first recorded eruption of Anatahan volcano occurred on 10th May 2003. Only sulfataric activity was observed previous to this eruption. The eruption ejected reddish brown ash to a height of 13 km. The eruption occurred from the east crater of the volcano.
A swarm of volcano-tectonic earthquakes occurred on the 10th May 2003 northeast of the island preceded the eruption. At 0500 UTC, the earthquakes surged to more
than 100 events per hour, with magnitudes less than 2. On 12th May Anatahan and
surrounding waters to a distance of 48 km were declared off limits to boats and aircraft not involved in hazard evaluations. Moderate to vigorous activity continued until 28th May 2003. Between 28th May and 5th June, an ashfall and small surge passed through the east flank crater. Dome growth occurred between 5-14 June. The small lava dome was destroyed by an eruption on 14th June.
2001 Geothermal Activity
In June 2001 there was a small increase in the area of geothermal activity around a couple of pits at the volcano.
1992-94 Seismicity
A few swarms of small, local, earthquakes occurred at Anatahan volcano between May–July 1993. Nine earthquakes larger than magnitude 4.5 occurred between late 1992 and May of 1994.
1990 Earthquakes
In March and April 1990, increased local seismicity, a large regional earthquake, and reported increased fumarolic activity in the pit crater, resulting in the evacuation of Anatahan village, at the west end of the island. A helicopter overflight noted a change in the pit crater lake from its typical green color to bluish gray, increased
fumarolic activity, a fresh landslide in the pit crater, and the odor of H2S. On 5th April 1990, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake occurred 150 km east of Anatahan, in the Mariana trench.

June 9
RFA (Philadelphia, PA)
RFA is a four piece garage rock and roll band from Philadelphia, PA. The strapping young quartet formed out of a couple of lunch table conversations about Elvis, The Rolling Stones and The Strokes while its members were just sophomores in high school attending St. Joseph's Prep in North Philadelphia. All four of the guys Dan Cousart (vox/guitar), Christian Turzo (lead guitar), Brendan McHale (bass/vocals), and Alec Powell (drums) met at auditions for the school "rock band" and quickly hit it off, bonding over their shared love of stripped down rock and roll music and a ravenous hunger to perform in front of an audience. They played together in various bands throughout high school before finally coming together in their current incarnation when all four members moved to Philadelphia for college. The band, in good rock and roll fashion, immediately plunged into the Philadelphia music scene head first, cutting their teeth playing countless shows in damp basements and small clubs, all the while honing their skills night after night and captivating whoever was lucky enough to experience one of their infamously raucous shows. Three years later with two EP's a new single, two national tours, a film soundtrack, and countless hours of relentless, sweat performances under their collective belt, the group is tighter than ever and anxious to preach their unique take on the rock and roll gospel to all that will listen these four guys have something to say, and are going to say it the only way they know how: loud, proud, and with a shot of rye whisky for good measure.
The Amy Simpson Band (Harrisburg, PA)
After making music her calling, It wasn't a stretch for Simpson to work with a variety of acts that toured the U.S. and Europe in her early career. Amy has shared the stage as a support act for the likes of Charmagne Neville, Tower of Power and Average White Band to name a few. Besides her studio and stage work with Blitz Dynette the last 25 years, she has released her first solo project 'The Amy Simpson Band' and CD 'Lipstick Blues'. The Album was produced by Michael Giblin and Daniel Kibler. The band has taken on a very dominating vintage soul sound to its fabric and each member in the band ads their own ingredient to making this very unique. Introducing each thread of the band is Amy Simpson on lead vocals, Russ Brookes on guitar, Dan Ruscito on Bass, Steve Montresor on Drums and Trent Peetchatka on organ and keys. Guest horn players Dave,( sax, trumpet )and Mike Yinger, (tromobone) Heavy flavors of vintage influences of Tina and Ike, Etta James, Rolling Stones are just a few artists and styles that motivate this crew.
July 14th
Serenity Fisher and the Cardboard Hearts(Cincinnati, Ohio)
Serenity Fisher and the Cardboard Hearts blend playful poprock with a Tim Burtonesque quirkiness. A wordsmith, Serenity Fisher entices stories into becoming songs using truth telling, highly visual lyrics, and dreamy melodies. Fisher is a powerhouse singer whose nuanced vocals vary from bluesy belt to sultry whisper, from technical prowess to stripped down raw emotion. Her piano style is theatrical and passionate. Her music has been compared to Regina Spektor, Tori Amos and Fiona Apple. Cellist Michael G. Ronstadt, nephew of Queen of Rock Linda Ronstadt, holds a masters degree in cello performance from the University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music (CCM). Ronstadt brings a rich musical heritage and absolute knack for improvising up a storm. Violinist Rose Reidmiller Gowda, a childhood friend of Fisher (her mother was Fisher's piano teacher), also has a master's degree from CCM. She has a flair for creative improvisation and for exploring dark and light tones. Ronstadt and Reidmiller Gowda create a mesmerizing string section through rich tone and pure energy, displaying genre blending explorations through a command of classical and exotic string sounds. Bobby Fisher on guitars, mandolin and ukulele, provides tasteful ambient swirls as well as old school face melting solos. A world renowned guitar virtuoso, Fisher got his start in Coyote, a popular country rock band that regularly sold out legendary Cincinnati music establishment Bogart's in the 70's and 80's. Most recently, his illustrious career has seen performances at Carnegie Hall and Lucas Oil Stadium for hundreds of thousands of fans. He continues to pass on his musical wizardry to daughter Serenity Fisher. Rounding out the sound with drums and percussion is ethnomusicologist Matt Halvorson. His eclectic setup includes a vast array of instruments from Brazil, Pakistan, Peru, Morocco and Spain as well as household gadgets such as brooms and keys. A diamond in the rough, Halvorson tastefully drives the music with thoughtful dynamics and creative rhythms. Serenity Fisher and the Cardboard Hearts make music that delights the ear, weaving timeless sounds with irreverent, collective, unabashed all round good time having.
Nina Scarcia and the Bad Choices(Harrisburg, PA)
Harrisburg, PA native, Nina Scarcia, started her musical career at a young age, influenced by her musician father. She has been described as an evocative singer songwriter and guitarist, with musical styles similar to some of her much loved artists like Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt. Also on regular rotation in Scarcia's music collection are Lucinda Williams, Aimee Mann and Jeff Buckley. Performing her blues driven and acoustic tunes, listeners are captivated by her lyrics and voice that are emotionally charged and powerfully delivered.
August 11th
Canyon (Connecticut)
Currently hailing from Connecticut, Canyon is a 30 year old vocal powerhouse. She is known by those that have seen her perform to be a captivating singer/songwriter with haunting and heart wrenchingly honest songs. Performing with just an acoustic guitar, her catchy vocal melodies will immediately grab your attention while the intimate lyrics and stories she tells will keep your ears guessing. Known for performing with an intensely raw passion and conviction, her sound will cut you deep and hit a nerve. Canyon's emergence onto the music scene began with The Break Contest 2010 when she, along with friend and former partner Andrew Maturana, were the only acoustic act to be selected to perform at The Bamboozle Festival 2010, which boasted an estimated attendance of 20,000. Since January 2011, Canyon
has been performing in festivals and venues throughout the Northeast living by her model, "I
will play anywhere and everywhere that will let me…" With her folk roots as undeniable and organic as her namesake which comes from lyrics in the song "Thrasher" by Neil Young. Canyon is poised to make her mark on the Folk genre by redefining what modern Folk means and finally letting her voice be heard.
Galactic Cowboy Orchestra(Minnesota)
The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra has been freakin' minds for 9 years! Since 2009, the band has stretched their own musical limits with album after album of intensely energetic ART ROCK. Definition of ART ROCK: A type of rock music, often with poetic lyrics, characterized by sophisticated harmonic, dynamic and technical complexity based on forms derived from classical (and jazz) music and requiring performers of considerable training and skill. It sounds so serious, but when you combine that type of music with four fun loving musicians who don't take themselves too seriously and who have a love of so much music beyond art rock (which is why the band covers songs from Otis Rush's All Your Love to Whipping Post to When the Levee Breaks to YYZ), you get a bit of magic in live music form. The band writes and performs music that excites them and has a blast doing it! The GCO appreciates and aspires to superior musicianship while combining their love of a good riff, hummable melody and groovy jam…
over a jazz/jazz rock musical bedrock. It all culminates in an intensely energetic live performance because "we freakin' love what we do and love that the fans dig it too!!"
September 8
Danielle Miraglia (Boston, Mass)
Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson, an infectious stomp box rhythm and harmonica with tunes ranging from heart felt to socially conscious that will move both your heart and hips. Her latest "All My Heroes Are Ghosts," released with her band Danielle M and The Glory Junkies touches on a lot of what might be on your mind these days the loss of so many musical heroes on the title track, the chaos of "fake news" on "Monster," our collective anxieties on "All On Fire," and more.. The music itself blends influences of some of Miraglia's own musical heroes The Rolling Stones, Prince, Janis Joplin along with Danielle's lyrical ability to explore human nature at its best and worst. Danielle was nominated for a 2015 Boston Music Award for Singer Songwriter of the Year. "Straddling the line where folk/roots meets rock/blues, Miraglia has a voice that can go from a raspy come-hither purr to an Etta Jamesesque powerhousebelt, although she may be best known for her lead thumb – a heavy, thumping strike on her Gibson that's backdrop percussion in itself." – Lauren Daley – The Boston Globe.
Gleasons Drift (Pottsville, PA)
Somewhere within the comforting confines of two guitars, bass and drums lies a never ending vein of inspiration. For Gleasons Drift, its wide and vast spanning country ballads, straight ahead rockers and riff driven refrains over the course of 4 releases in the last 12 years. On their latest, they've mined a new cut finding kinship and reliability in early Garage Rock. From the opener, with its BTO riffs and Big Starish harmonies, on through the swagger of every Keith Richards for hire solo, the band wears the abridged history of Rock N' Roll proudly on their sleeve. Boring, it's not. It's alive, and fresh, and teeming with as much girl group tenderness as blistering guitar breakup. Spanning 12 songs in an economical 38 minutes, Gleasons Drift ebbs and flows across sixty years of influence, encapsulating sound and vision, and relentlessly keeping it real.

Kid Power Cafe offers free meals at 41 sites for Wichita children
Many school cafeterias and other sites in Wichita are serving meals to hungry children.
Forty-one sites around the city are offering free breakfasts, lunches or afternoon snacks as part of Kid Power Cafe, an annual summer food program. The program is run by the Wichita school district and is paid for by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The program, which runs May 31 through July 28 at most sites, is open to all children younger than 18 but targets those who are eligible for free- or reduced-price lunches. About three-fourths of the 51,000 students who attend Wichita schools are eligible to receive free or reduced-price breakfasts and lunches.
No meal reservations are required, and there are no qualifying guidelines or paperwork to fill out. Just show up at any Kid Power Cafe location at the designated times to get a free meal or snack.
Some sites will offer meals throughout the length of the program; others will offer meals only periodically during those months. Some will offer both breakfast and lunch, while others will offer only one meal; three sites will offer an afternoon snack.
If the Kansas Supreme Court orders Kansas schools to shut down July 1, the program would be affected.
Breakfast will include cereal/bread and milk. Lunch will consist of an entree, fruit, vegetable and milk. Adults can buy lunch for $3.75, breakfast for $2 and snack for $1.
Here are this year's locations and meal times. The program is offered weekdays unless otherwise specified. All locations will be closed July 4.

Never too old to learn new (elearning) tricks!
For many, the term 'elearning' brings to mind dry, boring webinars that do little to inspire or engage participants. If you're responsible for developing training as part of your NGO's capacity building approach, you may already be considering online learning as an option. But how does it work in practice? And are there creative ways to make the online learning environment work for you? In this blog post, Mango's Director of Learning and Development, Terry Lewis, shares some of the discoveries she has made on her own elearning development journey.
In the last year I have been on a really exciting and motivating learning journey – finding out all about elearning and working out the best approach for Mango. Here are some of my random discoveries:
- MOOCs* have a 94% drop-out rate
- Everyone I ask, says that webinars are boring (but they are still one of the most-used elearning approaches – why?)
- The most effective forms of elearning are those where learners interact with each other and are supported by facilitators
- The world of elearning is awash with horrible jargon (and the one that gets my plain English antennae buzzing madly is "blended" learning – YUK! Surely that is a word that should only be used when describing how to make a fruit smoothie?)
And – drum roll – my most important discovery of all...?
- The 'collaborative eWorkshop' (sorry for the jargon) is the nearest thing you can get to the participatory 'learning by doing' technique that we use for Mango's face to face training.
eWorkshops are a truly life-changing discovery for me – who would ever have thought that you can learn with others in a participatory way with a bunch of people based all around the globe, working offline in different time zones? It is amazing, it is fun and it really works! And I am forever grateful to Anouk Janssens-Bevernage at Dynamind-elearning for showing me how it is done. With her support and guidance, we launched our eWorkshop programme this year with our Planning for financial sustainability course.
I am so inspired by the potential of elearning that I am going to include this as a new topic in our Taking the fear out of finance (Training for Finance Trainers) course too. I am running the next event in London from 22-25 June, if you or any of your finance colleagues would like to join me and be inspired too!
* PS: In case you were wondering, a MOOC is a 'massive open online course'. I learnt that too.

Your satisfaction and our success are directly linked to the strength of Signature Landscape's front-line work crews. We spend a significant amount of time, energy and resources staffing our crews with employees who can deliver the high-quality results you've come to expect from us.
This commitment does not come without its share of challenges, however. Managing our workforce can be difficult due to the seasonal nature of landscaping in this part of the country. Work loads are higher in the summer months, less so in the winter.
Because our best efforts to recruit locally can often come up short, we participate in the H-2B visa program. This program allows foreign workers who do not aspire to become U.S. citizens to complete temporary work assignments in the U.S. before returning home. This means we've been able to legally hire documented workers, many who are from Latin American countries, in a mutually beneficial partnership.
This guest worker program has been beneficial in many ways. It's allowed us to invest in training for workers who return each season. It ensures that they pay federal income taxes and FICA, and has provided fair and safe employment for them during their time here. To participate, Signature Landscape applies as an employer each year, and each guest worker is on file with the State and U.S. Departments of Labor, the USCIS, the U.S. State Department, the Border Patrol, the Social Security Administration, and the state DMV.
We at Signature Landscape are aware that immigration is a controversial topic in the U.S., and we acknowledge and value the varying viewpoints of stakeholders on all sides of the issue. As a small seasonal business we have joined with many others like us – other landscaping businesses, construction and roofing firms – to call for a sensible approach to legal seasonal workers.

A Tiny Gem of a Gallery -- The Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), located steps away from the AGO, has its own gallery. Called the OCAD Professional Gallery, it was launched in 2007 to explore the connections between art and design. So far, the tiny 111-sq.-m (1,195-sq.-ft.) space has shown work by Canadian Karim Rashid (famous for his stylish housewares and table accessories) among others. Located at 100 McCaul St., the gallery is open from Wednesday to Friday 1 to 7pm, and on weekends from noon to 6pm. There is no admission fee. For more information, call tel. 416/977-6000 or visit www.ocad.ca.
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection -- If you have access to a car and happen to be a fan of Canadian landscape painters (such as the Group of Seven, David Milne, and Emily Carr), drive the 40km (25 miles) north to Kleinburg for this very beautiful gallery. The McMichael sits on 40 hectares (99 acres) of conserved land, a bucolic setting that would have inspired many of the artists featured in its collection. It was founded by Robert and Signe McMichael in 1965, when they donated their property, home, and collection to the province of Ontario. Today, the collection includes more than 6,000 works. If you intend to visit, call ahead; the McMichael does shut down some galleries while preparing new shows, and its hours (normally daily 10am-4pm) are sometimes shortened. It's located at 10365 Islington Ave., Kleinburg (tel. 888/213-1121 or 905/893-1121; www.mcmichael.com). Admission is C$15 adults, C$12 seniors and students with ID, free for children 5 and under; parking is C$5.
Saving on Admission Costs
The major museums are pricey in Toronto, especially when compared with the smart and progressive freebie programs in cities like London. The ROM is particularly expensive, with a C$24 admission for adults and additional charges for special exhibitions. The list below will help you save on admission fees. Just keep in mind that these free or discounted times do change, so check before you visit.
- Art Gallery of Ontario: Free admission every Wednesday from 6 to 8:30pm.
- Bata Shoe Museum: Pay-what-you-can admission every Thursday from 5 to 8pm (suggested donation is C$5).
- Royal Ontario Museum: Free admission every Wednesday from 4:30 to 5:30pm; half-price admission every Friday from 4:30 to 9:30pm (note that these policies do not apply to special exhibitions, which are always ticketed at the full price).
- Textile Museum of Canada: Pay-what-you-can admission every Wednesday from 5 to 8pm; also, the website often offers coupons for C$1 off regular-priced admissions.
Where to Eat When You're Going to ...
It's a growing trend that has thankfully come to Toronto: Decent food at museums, galleries, and other attractions. To make your planning easier, here are some of Toronto's top attractions where you can find inspiration for the belly, as well as the mind, all under one roof:
- The Art Gallery of Ontario: The newly renovated AGO has two fine options: FRANK restaurant (expensive, top-notch cuisine) and the AGO Café (cheap and cheerful salads and sandwiches). Both are run by the same kitchen, which is headed by local star chef Anne Yarymowich. The emphasis is on local, and the wine list offers a good sampling of Ontario's top wines.
- CN Tower: The CN Tower's restaurant, 360, is a little pricey and touristy; but if you enjoy a panoramic view -- and a rotating one, at that -- with your foie gras and filet mignon, this might be your ticket. The prix-fixe menus offer good value. The wine cellar is built to impress.
- Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts: Toronto has a perfect culinary match for its sleek, modern opera house: the neighboring Nota Bene. Run by the pair who steered what was Toronto's top dining room, Splendido, this is a more casual affair with delicious fare. Book ahead.
- The Air Canada Centre: This complex prides itself on a range of tempting goods, from de rigueur hot dogs and beer to three fine-dining rooms, a wine cellar of more than 600 labels, and one of the country's top sommeliers. The vast kitchen feeds the teams, too. For a casual bite, there are dozens of concessions on-site, including customized hot dogs at Burkie's Dog House and Chef Jamie Kennedy's famous French fries. The Air Canada Club (tel. 416/815-5983) is the most luxurious of the three restaurants.
- Ontario Science Centre: While people who work at the OSC love to point out that it's in the geographic center of Toronto, it's Nowheresville as far as food is concerned (though the museum does have its own restaurant). But if you head north to the new Don Mills Centre, you'll find McEwan Foods, a tony gourmet store run by celebrity chef Mark McEwan, with chairs and tables for lunch and snacks.
- Royal Ontario Museum: The cafeteria-style Food Studio serves up middling lunches and suppers to keep you fueled for a long day at the museum.
Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

While in Australia, D and I got invited over to one of her coworkers's place for Christmas. In addition to being awesome, this was a much better option than the Hooters plan I had earlier declared. There was much good food, much Mario Kart and Rock Band on their Wii, and lots of good hanging out with other North Americans.
While there, I was re-acquainted with the open source Xbox Media Center, which, since I last was aware of it, is now just 'XBMC' because it now runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and AppleTV. In the years since it left my awareness, it's also become FREAKIN' AWESOME. One of the really cool things it does now is fetch artwork and information about your television and movie files you watch with it from community-maintained sites, while looking really pretty:

Vietnam: Hanoi and Halong Bay
Vietnam: Hanoi and Halong Bay
Fly in/out: Hanoi Vietnam, Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)
Recommended ages: 8 and up
Best Season: October-April
Pace: Moderate
Currency: Vietnamese Dong
Currency: CST + 12
This trip can be combined with Cambodia or Laos for a longer S.E Asian experience.
DAY ONE: Fly in to Hanoi Vietnam, Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) take a taxi and check in at the Hanoi Elegance Ruby Hotel a boutique hotel in the old quarter.
DAY TWO: Take a morning walk around Hoan Kiem Lake for a peaceful and serene setting watching tai chi. Walk around bustling and lively old quarter and shop for made-to-order clothes. Visit the many fine art galleries nestled in the alleys and streets including a favorite, the Apricot Gallery.
DAY THREE: Enjoy a Vietnam "History Day" and visit the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Vietnam Military History Museum ( aka Army Museum), and the Hoa Lo Prison. In the evening, experience the Thang Long Water Puppet show. Book tickets when making reservation with hotel.
DAY FOUR & FIVE: Emeraude Cruise picks you up from your hotel and drives 2 to 3 hours for a two day/one night cruise in breathtaking Halong Bay.
Vacation Highlights
- Hanoi, ranked as one of the most attractive cities, is renowned for being Vietnam's cultural center with music, dance, history museums and puppetry.
- Walking through Hanoi's bustling Old Quarter might feel like you're engaging in a running with the bulls but with scooters not bulls, but this quintessential neighborhood will feel like a combination of a high end shopping square, art district and a colonial french quarter all wrapped up into one. The beautiful sites in the old quarter include the Opera House, St. Josephs' cathedral, Hoan Kiem lake and many temples.
- Our "History Day" touring through the Ho Chi Minh Museum, the Vietnam Military Museum and the Hoa Lo Prison was a great ½ day learning about the history of Vietnam. We have history buffs in the family who were fascinated with the military information provided in these museums. We were not able to view Ho Chi Minh as the body was on display at another location at the time.
- We thoroughly enjoyed our Emeraude Cruise because of the unbelievable views and experience in Halong Bay. The bay is located just 80 miles outside of Hanoi, has many limestone pillars, Karst topography, islands with dense vegetation, enormous caves and floating villages of fisherman. We were able to kayak and explore caves including the wonderful "Surprise Cave" and soak in the beautiful scenery.
Great Excursions
Taking a cruise in Halong Bay was a definite highlight of this trip. We were very happy on the Emeraude as it is a larger ship with more upscale amenities. We visited Surprise Cave, kayaked near some of the floating villages, enjoyed a Vietnamese cooking demonstration onboard, and just enjoyed the scenery.
Places to stay
- Hanoi Elegance Ruby Hotel is in a great location in the heart of old quarter with exceptional service. Rooms were a little small but we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. Breakfast included.
- A popular more luxurious hotel that other families recommend is the Hotel Metropole Hanoi
- There are many great restaurants in Hanoi featuring Vietnamese Cuisine. Try for lunch "cha ca"-a fish and noodle dish served at "one dish" restaurants that offer only this dish. Also "pho" which is noodle soup with beef or chicken and bean sprouts.
- We enjoyed the authentic Vietnamese fare at Quan An Ngon, near Hoan Kiem lake.
- For other great recommendations for Vietnamese cuisine in Hanoi, read this NY times article.
- Getting around Hanoi with children is a little chaotic. They are building more pedestrian walks and closing streets to cars in the evening to try to make it easier to explore Old Quarter, but is is certainly not for the faint hearted. For the major intersections, it's mostly the scooters who seem the most threatening, but they are experts at swerving around pedestrians.
- When we needed a taxi, we arranged one through the hotel as other independent taxis can try to scam you.
- Halong Bay is beautiful, and if one has more time, spend more than one night there. While on the cruise, the staff at the Ruby kept most of our luggage for us so we didn't need to bring all of our luggage on the cruise which was helpful.
- When you're travelling with kids to Vietnam with a 10-12 hour time change from the US, it can be a little challenging. If your flight arrives very early, it's worth booking the hotel for the night before just so you can check in as soon as you get there. This allows you to catch up on whatever sleep was lost during the 24-30 hour flight. Take a full 24 hours to get adjusted to arriving to Asia. And remember, stay hydrated.
Before You Go
In order to enter Vietnam, you will need a valid passport with at least six months validity remaining and a Vietnamese visa.

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
I have been regularly rebuilding my install CD's to include a few
extra RPMS. Since the last update, I have been unable to get a
workable install, as the install CD always fails with a missing
library "librpm-4.2.so". This appears to be a problem in anaconda's
buildinstall script as I can see the following error when running it:
Creating debug dir
Patching python library...
Removing unused python files in hdimage... Traceback (most recent
call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 344, in ?
from exception import handleException
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 24, in ?
import rpm
ImportError: librpm-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or
When I look in the temporary '/tmp/treedir.????/instimage/usr/lib'
directory that buildinstall creates, I can see that indeed, no librpm-
4.2.so is there?? The library is definitely on my machine when I do
the build, and the 'upd-instroot' specifies to include the librpm
The problem appears to be caused by the fact that 'rpm-libs' is not
specified in the PACKAGES and PACKAGESGR lists inside the 'upd-
instroot' script. When I added the 'rpm-libs' package to both these
lists, the problem went away. Perhaps this is because the rpmlibs are
now in their own RPM package and upd-instroot hasn't been changed to
reflect this?
How reproducible: Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run anaconda's buildinstall and observe the 'missing librpm-
4.2.so' error
rpm-libs is in PACKAGES/PACKAGESGR in anaconda packages that were
released concurrent with the rpm update.

CENTURION, South Africa (AP) � President Barack Obama is receiving the embrace you might expect for a long-lost son on his return to his father's home continent, even as he has yet to leave a lasting policy legacy for Africa on the scale of his two predecessors.
Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush passed innovative Africa initiatives while in the White House and passionately continue their development work in the region in their presidential afterlife.
Obama's efforts here have not been so ambitious, despite his personal ties to the continent.
His first major tour of Africa as president is coming just now, in his fifth year, while Bush and Clinton are frequent fliers to Africa. Bush even will be in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, next week at the same time as Obama, although they have no plans to meet. Instead, their wives plan to appear together at a summit on empowering African women organized by the George W. Bush Institute, with the former president in attendance.
For Obama, one potentially memorable aspect of this trip � a meeting with former South African President and anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela � remained in doubt. Mandela is hospitalized in Johannesburg in critical condition. Obama arrived in South Africa yesterday after visiting Senegal.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Obama said it was uncertain whether he would get an opportunity to see the 94-year-old Mandela, a personal hero to the president.
"I don't need a photo-op, and the last thing I want to do is to be in any way obtrusive at a time when the family is concerned about Nelson Mandela's condition," he said.
In French-speaking Senegal, Africa's westernmost country, spirited crowds greeted Obama on his visit, with revelers frequently breaking into song and dance at the sight of the first black president. However thrilled they were to see him, many said they wish his visits weren't so rare.
"Two visits in five years, it's not enough," said Faye Mbissine, a 30-year-old nanny who took an early-morning bus to come see Obama on Thursday outside the presidential palace. "We hope that he can come more."
One of Bush's chief foreign policy successes was his aid to Africa, including AIDS relief credited with saving millions of lives and grants to reward developing countries for good governance. Bush followed on momentum on African policy that began under Clinton, who allowed several dozen sub-Saharan countries to export to the United States duty-free.
Obama has continued the Bush and Clinton programs during tough economic times. But his signature Africa policy thus far has been food security, through less-prominent programs designed to address hunger with policy reforms and private investment in agriculture.
Yesterday, Obama toured displays in small thatched booths at his hotel grounds on a bluff overlooking the ocean, meeting with farmers and entrepreneurs who are using new methods and technologies to advance the cause of food security.
"This is a moral imperative," he said. "I believe that Africa is rising, and it wants to partner with us, not to be dependent, but to be self-sufficient."
Witney Schneidman, former deputy assistant secretary of state for African affairs, said Obama's efforts are not like Bush's AIDS initiative, "where you put people on a medicine to save their lives � very, extremely important. This is more of a structural change, and I think that's going to take time."
Under Clinton and Bush, "you had this major funding, major attention, major initiatives going to Africa, and then President Obama came in, and there was a sense of stall, in a way," said Jennifer Cooke, director of the Africa program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She said that's understandable as he grappled with wars and an economic crisis, and she gave Obama credit for working diplomatically with African governments in his first term.
But, she said, "they weren't big, splashy initiatives that got people's attention either in Africa or here at home, and no big money and no big ideas that really helped define what Obama was about in Africa."

The best course of action is to do what is known as a Total Recall. A Total Recall will completely wipe the console of its current software version and allow you to then re-install the console software.
Follow the steps below and you will end up with a working console. BUT before you do this procedure save any show files that are on the console as they will be deleted.
1. Download the CDC Console Software
2. Then unzip this file into the route directory of an empty USB stick
3. Plug the USB stick into a USB port on the console, while the console is switched on
4. The Command Centre with the upgrade menu will appear on the main screen
If the Command Centre does not start, connect a USB keyboard to the console:
5. Press the button Explorer
6. Navigate to your USB stick
7. Run the file TotalRecall (this will auto restart the console)
8. Remove USB stick when the console asks you what language it is
9. The console will reboot and say it can not find any software – there will be a large red warning screen, do not worry. It says invalid console because the Total Recall has removed all the console data.
10. Insert the USB stick, the console will reboot again
11. When it starts up wait for the Loader to start
12. Remove the USB and wait for about 5 - 10 seconds and then insert the USB stick. When the Command Centre opens press Program Updater.
13. Then shutdown the console
14. Restart the console. This restart will not work.
15. Press and hold the Power button until the console says it is shutting down
16. On the next start up the console software it will be fully installed

Babylon Rhythm is Got Me.. Everybody Dance!: QAF Recaplet 504 06-06-05
by StickyKeys Queer As Folk Episode 504 Aired 6-05-05
Dignity, Always Dignity…
That's the lesson of the latest episode of QAF as we begin with an AIDS/HIV PSA by Scott Lowell followed by an orgy by JustBri and some other guys to the tune of Marilyn Manson's Personal Jesus. As Clementine74 over at Moldy's boards said, "Classy!"
Brian refuses to admit he's whipped, and brings home Talky and his friend Chatty for a little orgy, and to sing the praises of polygamy to an unconvinced Justin. Over on the other side of town, MiBen prepare their home for Jenny Rebecca.
Brian tries to win Mikey's love back with a superhero centered night at Babylon. Michael doesn't show, but Brian ends up driving what may be the final nail into Michael's party planning coffin, by giving the best housewarming gift EVER.
Ted gets nipped, tucked, and sucked.
Emmett really have nothing to do but be a rock for everyone which is one of the things he does well so I'm not complaining.
Now that she, Michael, and Lindsay are splitting JR 3 ways, Mel is lonely, she's so lonely, she has nobody to call her own.
Seeing that she's losing Gus on the favoritism front, Lindsay decides to try and recruit Justin over to her side by submitting his work into an upcoming show. I guess Justin chose the nepotism path while on his journey to "make his own way in the world". His work sucks by the way. Just thought I'd mention that.
Rosietta is the new Deb and the old Deb don't like it! What the old Deb does like is all the retirement sexin' she's getting. It's kind of gross, kind of cute. It's grute. I'm trademarking that! Deb and Horvath are grute! Deb is getting bored though and proceeds to buy everything off of QVC in the process.
Rosietta manages not to completely annoy me and actually has a pretty nice story line. She also confirms all the rumors that she's gay (duh) and has a nice crush on Deb. She also has a mad husband, but Deb has a bat, so I'm guessing we won't see too much of him.
Hunter doesn't have AIDS (he has HIV and there is a difference), but a nasty incident in the pool causes that information to be outed by his (ex?) girlfriend's dad and his cunty wife. Heh, he called her a cunt. That's so wrong. What else is wrong? The harrassment he gets at school because of it.
And finally, Common is beautiful. And so is knowing.

LONDON—Of tennis' major championships, Wimbledon remains the one where both competitors walk off the court together. Civil. Communal. Respectful. Such are Wimbledon values.
Fitting indeed to have witnessed 30-year-old Angelique Kerber and 21-year-old Daria Kasatkina exit Centre Court together in the wake of what they had created.
The score line will show that Kerber won their quarterfinal 6-3, 7-5. But in the final game, it took Kerber seven match points to close it out.
Beat your opponent on your first match point and you have swatted away an insect. Win it on your second and you'll slightly raise an eyebrow. Reach a third, though, and the cut could now become an infection. Four: beyond annoying. Five: Are you kidding? Six: OK, surely this time. Seven: Torture, humiliation lurking around the corner. By this stage, empathy surfaces. One minute you appear to rule the day, but as those match points turn to dust, might the climate change completely? Might jail-keeper become prisoner? To compete is also to relate.
Said Kerber, "It's not so easy because you feel your nerves, you feel you get a little bit tight, especially if you have your third or fourth match point again. But this is tennis. I think this makes the tennis also excited."
That last game had lasted 16 points—five of which had featured double-digit rallies. One of them was arguably the rally of the tournament—a microcosm of the entire match. Kerber served at deuce, having already seen five match points vanish, the last two courtesy of exquisite Kasatkina drop shots.
WATCH—Match point from Kerber's win over Kasatkina in quarterfinals:
Over the course of 25 shots, Kerber and Kasatkina probed, sliced, rolled, drove. Kerber's forehand went coast-to-coast—the down-the-line slash, the sharp crosscourt. Mid-rally, Kasatkina tumbled, recovered, eventually hitting a down-the-line backhand drop shot that lured Kerber forward. In dashed Kerber. Kasatkina hit a backhand crosscourt pass —but Kerber was there to lunge for a forehand volley winner to earn her sixth match point.
On that point, drop shots brought both well inside the court—and a lob volley from Kerber floated millimeters long (the kind where the challenge camera zooms in another level closer). Deuce again, a 17-ball rally, ended with a Kasatkina missed backhand. The next point, another Kerber down-the-line forehand elicited an error.
Speaking of that shot, Kasatkina said, "Especially it's tough because it's not really down the line, it even goes a little bit wide, out from you. You have to run for this. It's bounce very low, especially on the grass."
If you think contemporary tennis is monochromatic, please closely inspect the eclectic arsenal displayed by Kerber and Kasatkina. At the start, Kasatkina was quite sluggish. Kerber patrolled the court, her feet and forehand shoving the Russian into all sort of poor positions.
Even then, though, there was a hint of eventual struggle. Kasatkina served at 1-4, 15-40—and then composed a magnificent quartet of points, including a wide serve, a drop shot followed by a forehand half-volley deftly struck crosscourt, a 109-M.P.H. ace and, to close it, Kasatkina's favorite shot, the leaping backhand. Out of kilt for the first time in the match, Kerber dropped serve. But Kasatkina, back on serve at 3-4, hit a makeable forehand long and then double-faulted twice from 15-30 to hand Kerber the gift of another break and, soon enough, the set.
Five years from now, Kasatkina might well recall the slow starts and rich patches that often flavored the matches of her youth.
Speaking about the remarkable final game, Kasatkina said, "My head was just empty. I didn't feel any pressure, any fear. I was just going on the next point and playing, playing, playing. I mean, almost every match point, it was something like crazy things I was doing, yeah. That's it. I think this is the key to win the big matches: just don't put anything in your head, to play with an empty head."
It is a fascinating dynamic, this matter of body and mind. As much as Kasatkina seeks to unclutter her brain, to see her play is also to witness one of the great minds in tennis. Spin, height, depth, pace—all of these come to her effortlessly, an exceptionally broad palette amid the narrowness of many contemporaries. Yet through the second set, Kasatkina only showed flashes of this brilliance. Perhaps the infamous Centre Court nerves known to affect even the champions seeped into her feet.
And also, without a doubt, Kerber's acumen made it all quite difficult.
"It's really tough to play against her on grass," said Kasatkina. "Even my spin doesn't bounce that high. For her it's a bit easier because she really likes these balls. She's very strong on this. Even you're returning on the line, under her legs, she can go for a winner, it's crazy. That's why it's really hard to play against her on grass."
Adept as she is at covering the court and appearing to be a defensive player, Kerber at her best is an aggressor, disguised as a counterpuncher. At her worst, though, Kerber grows tentative, her serve a lollipop, her groundstrokes non-penetrating, her willingness to come to net negligible.
Kerber's passive qualities surfaced in the second set. Serving at 3-2, Kerber was broken at 15. Serving at 4-3, 40-15, another game surrendered. Seeking to close out the match at 5-4, further passivity surfaced, another opportunity squandered. And yet through all this up and down play from each, the lengthy rallies were often sublime, capped off in that final game—a tribute to each player's array of tools and tenacity. Not quite a masterpiece, Kerber over Kasatkina was a connoisseur's delight, a gem cast into the skillet and mutually polished.
Strokes of Genius is a world-class documentary capturing the historic 13-year rivalry between tennis icons Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It is timed for release as the anticipation crests with Roger as returning champion, 10 years after their famed 2008 Wimbledon championship – an epic match so close and so reflective of their competitive balance that, in the end, the true winner was the sport itself.

Pro Prolog
Last time, I mentioned that different programming paradigms involve thinking about the problem you're trying to solve in completely different ways. Most languages you normally see in use, be they procedural, object-oriented, functional, or something else, typically involve giving the computer a series of commands to execute. The way you do that can vary quite a bit, but that's essentially what's going on. The computer doesn't particularly care what you're trying to accomplish; it just does as it's told. We might call this the Meatwad Programming Paradigm:
Do what I said, 'cause I said it.
- Meatwad
Prolog is different; it's a logic programming language. In logic programming, instead of giving the computer a series of commands, you give it a database of facts and rules. Facts are, well, simple facts that you know are true. Rules tell the computer how to derive new facts from other facts. Once you load the database, you can ask the computer where things are true. If the computer can use the facts and rules it knows to prove what you asked, it will tell you so. Otherwise, it will report failure.
An example might make this clearer. Let's say we want to study the relationships between people in a family. Our database needs to have a simple set of relationships we know, such as:
Our facts take the form of predicates with one or more arguments. Here, we're using
father(X,Y) to mean that X is the father of Y. We use
mother(X,Y) similarly.
Given just this database, we can execute queries to see if certain parent-child relationships are true. For example:
| ?- father(george,lindsay).
true ?
(4 ms) yes
| ?- father(tobias,buster).
It should be exceedingly obvious that, given the above database, George is Lindsay's father, but Tobias is not Buster's father. Technically, Prolog hasn't proved that Tobias isn't Buster's father, but it did fail to prove that he was, which is good enough for Prolog.
Naturally, if this were all we could do with Prolog, it wouldn't be very interesting. One neat thing is that we can put variables in the arguments to, for example, get a list of everyone whose father is George:
| ?- father(george,X).
X = michael ? a
X = lindsay
X = gob
X = buster
(4 ms) yes
Prolog tells us all the values of X that would satisfy the query. We could have used a variable in the first argument to father instead (to find out who someone's father is) or use variables for both arguments (to find out all father-child relationships).
Things get a bit more interesting once we start adding some rules to our database. For example, let's start with a predicate parent(X,Y) that is true whenever X is Y's parent:
parent(X,Y) :- father(X,Y).
parent(X,Y) :- mother(X,Y).
The first rule tells Prolog that X is Y's parent if X is Y's father. The second says that X is Y's parent if X is Y's mother. Now we can use the parent predicate just like the others we defined via facts:
| ?- parent(lucille,buster).
| ?- parent(X,maeby).
X = tobias ? a
X = lindsay
But this is kid's stuff so far. Prolog wouldn't be much of a programming language if we couldn't use rules recursively, so let's do that to define arbitrary ancestral relationships between two people:
ancestor(X,Y) :- parent(X,Y).
ancestor(X,Y) :- parent(X,Z), ancestor(Z,Y).
The first rule simply says that X is Y's ancestor if X is Y's parent. The second one is where things get interesting: X is Y's ancestor if X is the parent of some Z, and Z is an ancestor of Y. Now we can use Prolog to probe ancestral relationships of arbitrary length:
| ?- ancestor(george,maeby).
true ?
| ?- ancestor(X,maeby).
X = tobias ? a
X = lindsay
X = george
X = lucille
Observe that that last query finds not only Maeby's parents (Tobias and Lindsay) but also her grandparents (George and Lucille).
Prolog also lets us use lists in additional to individual terms. To show that we can also implement algorithms in Prolog, here's a (fairly unoptimized) implementation of mergesort:
mergesort([], []).
mergesort([X], [X]).
mergesort(In, Out) :-
length(In, InLen),
InLen >= 2,
append(X, Y, In),
length(X, XLen),
length(Y, YLen),
( 0 is YLen - XLen; 1 is YLen - XLen ),
mergesort(X, XSorted),
mergesort(Y, YSorted),
merge(XSorted, YSorted, Out).
merge([], Y, Y).
merge(X, [], X).
merge([XHead | XTail], [YHead | YTail], [XHead | RTail]) :-
XHead =< YHead,
merge(XTail, [YHead | YTail], RTail).
merge([XHead | XTail], [YHead | YTail], [YHead | RTail]) :-
YHead < XHead,
merge([XHead | XTail], YTail, RTail).
That may look quite a bit like a mergesort written in a functional language, but note that there is some logic programming uniqueness to it. In particularly, we split the "input" list in half by telling Prolog to find two lists X and Y who, appended together, equal the original list, and whose lengths are within 1 of each other. Prolog takes care of figuring out what X and Y should be in any particular instance. Having something called append do double duty as a way to split a list in twain is one of the crazy things logic programming lets you do.
Plain old Prolog does fall down a bit when it comes to math. While it can handle arithmetic just fine, it doesn't know how to do algebra. For example:
| ?- X is 3 + 5.
| ?- 8 is X + 5.
uncaught exception: error(instantiation_error,(is)/2)
From what we've seen so far, Prolog doesn't quite satisfy the needs for implementing a bridge bidding system for Old Lady. On the one hand, predicates and variable unification are a good fit for the bidding rules: something like
bid(Bid, HandInfo) could be used to choose a bid if we pass it information about a hand, and can also be used to learn about a hand given a certain bid. This "it works in both directions"-ness is exactly what we're looking for to both make our own bids and to interpret those of other players, without having to duplicate our rules.
However, an inability to do mathematics more complex than basic arithmetic is a problem, since most of the information communicated through bidding is precisely that: how many HCP a player has, or how many cards of a certain suit he has, and so on. There's also known mathematical relationships between all the variables: for example, the deck only has 13 spades, so if I have 5 and my partner has at least 3, that tells me that the other two players have at most 5 spades between them. Plain old Prolog doesn't have an elegant way to express these sorts of constraints.
But notice how I slipped "plain old" in front of Prolog? Some Prolog implementations, such as GNU Prolog (the one I'm experimenting with) also do constraint logic programming, which lets us express mathematical relationships between variables. For example, let's try to find all numbers less than or equal to 100 that are equal to the square of a prime number:
| ?- fd_domain(X,0,100), fd_prime(Y), X #=# Y * Y.
The constraint solver in GNU Prolog has figured out that X must be 4, 9, 25, or 49, and Y must be 2, 3, 5, or 7. As we add constraints, we can narrow that down even further. For example, let's also require that X is even:
| ?- fd_domain(X,0,100), fd_prime(Y), X #=# Y * Y, 0 #=# rem(X, 2).
Given this, a way to implement a bidding system in GNU Prolog reveals itself. Encode the bidding system rules in Prolog rules, using these numerical constraints. Then build a query that includes all the basic information we know, namely our hand and the bidding history so far. In evaluating the query, GNU Prolog will determine constraints on the variables of interest (i.e., who has how many of each suit, and their hands' estimated strength), and pick the next bid we should make.
Even better, GNU Prolog has ways to issue queries from C code. While this might not seem very useful when Old Lady is written in Python, there are ways to interact between C and Python, so we just need to write a little duct tape in C that communicates between GNU Prolog and Python.
So, it turns out I was looking for a constraint logic solver all this time, and was writing an exceedingly two-ninths-assed one in Python.
If any of the above has piqued your interest in Prolog, there's a pretty good Prolog tutorial here that does a much better job explaining Prolog than I've done here.

The Spanish Riding School – Vienna
One of the most fun things to experience whilst in Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a visit to the Spanish Riding School. The famous white stallions, called Lipizzaners, perform elegant routines and jumps in an amazing baroque style hall, the Winter Riding School. You can also sit or stand on one of the balconies and watch morning exercise and practices for the horses.
Lipizzaners are Europe's oldest breed of horse, and they are now endangered. In fact, there are only actually around 5,000 of them left worldwide. The horses for the Spanish Riding School are bred in a small village outside Vienna, and have been since 1920. The famous horses also take an annual summer holiday to Heldenberg in southern Austria. They go for long country walks, do jumping in the hall and take a well earned break.
This is how the Riding School describes itself on their website, which you can visit at http://www.srs.at/en/
"The Spanish Riding School in Vienna is the only institution in the world which has practiced for over 440 years and continues to cultivate classical equitation in the Renaissance tradition of the haute école.
The objective of classical equitation is to study the way the horse naturally moves and to cultivate the highest levels of haute école elegance the horse is capable of through systematic training. The result creates an unparalleled harmony between rider and horse, as only Vienna's Spanish Riding School achieves."
You can check them out on YouTube http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/watch?v=Pn6Jmqs9IHQ
Sachertorte – Vienna
The city of Vienna, Austria is famous for many things. It's wonderful old buildings and ancient churches, the Vienna Boys Choir and Sachertorte. Sachertorte is a Viennese delicacy which is basically a moist chocolate cake with apricot jam in the middle and a coating of dark chocolate. It was invented by Franz Sacher, a kitchen apprentice of Prince Wenzel von Metternich in 1832. When he settled in Vienna, his dessert became famous and was carried on by his son after he died. Today you can eat Sachertorte anywhere in Vienna, but one of the best is probably found in Aida, a Viennese bakery chain with over twenty branches around the city…
10best.com says:
"Aida has over 20 branches in Vienna and they are difficult to miss: they are very pink. The best known is on St Stephen's Square at the junction of Singerstrasse. It has a white marble facade trimmed in pink, the awnings are pink, the staff wear pink; when it is warm enough to set up outside, the sun-shades are pink and you get to sit on pink chairs. If you can take so much pink, taste the coffee which is Aida's own brand made from beans imported from South America and mixed and roasted to Aida's secret specification."

Lederhosen and dirndl dresses set to become 'fashionable' again?
In Austria and Germany, the traditional costume known as Tracht always used to be the preserve of the ultra-conservative. But these traditional clothes – lederhosen for men and dirndl dresses for women – have recently become rather fashionable.
So says the BBC.co.uk article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19976271. Apparently, not only is the typical Austrian outfit seen on people in the countryside, it's also everywhere in the big cities like Vienna (although in a less obvious form: the traditional green-collared jackets are an example). And it's not only the locals who are falling back in love with the lederhosen and dirndls – when the fashion designer Vivienne Westwood visited Austria about 10 years ago, she said:
'I do not understand you Austrians. If every woman wore a dirndl, there would not be any more ugliness'
The people of Austria seem to have taken note: recently, the shops that sell the 'Tracht' have been reporting big profits, and you can buy the outfits all over – not just in specialist shops. Maybe Londoners will catch on and start walking round dressed as Beefeaters.
