Historic Military Buildings in Hong Kong
Submitted by David on Thu, 2009-05-14 09:00
A surprising amount of Hong Kong's military buildings still exist. Sometimes because they are in out-of-the-way places that noone has thought about redeveloping yet. Sometimes because they are still under the control of the military authorities, and so are out of bound for redevelopment. And a precious few are considered listed buildings, and so are actively protected.
During its time as a British colony, Hong Kong's role as a military base went through several different phases.
Through the 1800's and into the early 1900's, the potential enemies were the other European colonial powers of the day. This is the time when the Hong Kong's coasts were peppered with coastal batteries, ready to defend against any attack by a foreign navy.
When fighting eventually broke out, it happened in Europe. World War I must have seemed a very remote event to those living in Hong Kong. Japan and Britain were allies at the time, and Hong Kong came through the war untouched.
Shortly after WWI, there were clear signs of a new naval arms-race beginning, with Britain, the USA, and Japan the main players. Negotiations began to bring this to a halt, resulting in the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. One of the terms of the treaty was that Britain could not improve the naval bases or defences in its overseas territories, including Hong Kong. So began a period of stagnation for Hong Kong's defences.
Japan left the Washington Naval Treaty in 1936. However, while the treaty had been in place, the bilateral alliance between Japan and Britain had been allowed to lapse. This meant a powerful potential foe was now on Hong Kong's doorstep.
So began a new burst of work to enhance Hong Kong's defences, running up until Japan's invasion in December 1941.
Immediately post-war, there were several years of relative peace and re-building. That didn't last long, and a new build-up of British forces began, this time with the Chinese army as the potential foe. This characterised the 1950's, with the Korean war still a recent memory.
After that came a steady decline in the size Britain's military presence, until their final withdrawal as part of the handover in 1997.
So, let's take a look at what remains from the British armed forces' 150+ years in Hong Kong.

Re: Historic Military Buildings in Hong Kong
My interest in this area began with a visit to Lyemun Barracks some time ago followed up later with a stay in the Lyemun Holiday Bungalows (former barrack buildings) which were then available for bookings by the public. Dont know about now. This was before the construction of the Coastal Museum. Alot of old buildings to see, view the glorious sunrise in the morning and tour Sai Wan Battery up the hill.

Lyemun Barracks
We went there last year, on an outing with our daughter's kindergarten. They are usually open to the public, though maybe hold off on your visit until after the flu scare passes - I see they are currently used as a quarantine camp!

photos and maps?
Is there anyway to have a photo and a map under the items, I know you could click on the map, but being a girl a picture says more to me than a map ...

re: photos & maps?
Yes, definitely. I think more than half of the places in this section have at least one photo, but certainly the goal is that every one will have one or more photos.
I'm very grateful for the readers like moddsey and T who help add in photos. If you ever see a place you're interested in that is missing a photo, please help to add one. I've tried to make it easy to add one of your own photos, or a public photo from flickr, but let us know if we can make it any easier.

Historic Military Buildings in Hong Kong
Those who like exploring the remaining WW2 gun sites may be interested in a book titled "The Guns and Gunners of Hong Kong" by Denis Rollo. An A4 size hardback published around 1995 by the Gunners' Roll of Hong Kong, ISBN No 962-7680-01-x. Eight chapters cover the history of the gunners in HK and 7 Appendix the last being "A Gazetteer of the Batteries of the Fixed Defences of Hong Kong. There are numerous pictures including large gun barrells being rolled up Mount Davis. However with no price tag or regular book publisher mentioned this may be a restricted book only available from the Gunners' Roll of Hong Kong, although I'm sure I had seen in it in the Coastal Defence Museum shop shortly after the museum opened. The book was printed in Hong Kong by Corporate Communications Ltd.

re: The Guns and Gunners of Hong Kong
I'll second IDJ's recommendation for this book. I bought it a couple of years ago, and the only place I could find it then was a website in the UK. If anyone knows a local source, please let us know.

Hi there,
I remember when I bought my copy there late in 2009 only the browsing copy was left when I left. I've been there before Christmas 2010 there was none left.

re: Gunners Roll
Thanks for the link to the website, that's a new one to me.
That site does have a page specifically about Rollo's book. They say it's out of print, but you can register there to show your interest in buying a new copy if they reprint. They also note that: "the Hong Kong Central Library in Causeway Bay holds two copies of this book for viewing in their Reference Library.".

(01/07/14) - Was it a fortunate roll of the dice? Or just good planning?Whatever the reason, Flint's Bishop International Airport has turned into a gateway for lucky folks escaping Old Man Winter's icy grip. For others, it signals the end of their "fun in the sun".There were plenty of smiles from folks heading for the departure gates. But for those making their way back home, the sub-zero temperatures are more like a cruel joke.
It's not too surprising to hear that the sunshine state is a popular destination for passengers waiting to board at Bishop Airport. Travelers were looking forward to escaping what has been a one-two punch from Mother Nature. "Cold weather. Get out of the cold weather. (We're heading to) Fort Myers," said Moni Akbar.
Debra Nash was in line to check in too. She had a rough drive in from Onaway. "We're flying out to Florida to see my mom and other two sisters," she said. Karen Childs was excited to leave, even if it was a day later than she would have liked. "It was my birthday yesterday, and yesterday was awful. So, today is great. Happy to be out of this cold."Heading west was fine, too. Former Mid-Michigan resident Dave Draize couldn't wait to return home to sunny San Diego. "Well, every day here kind of reminds me of why I left. Everything from having to wear gloves and a hat again to scraping my car and taking 20 minutes to drive 30 feet and getting stuck in my own driveway," he said. For others, the return to Mid-Michigan couldn't have come at a worse time. Richard Flanders just moved to the Flint area a year ago. The Florida native was visiting his former stomping grounds, but arrived just in time for the worst cold snap in 20 years. "My wife is here so I had to come, and the kids. I had no choice."
Cindy Dwyer, while not returning herself, brought cold weather gear for her passenger. " I'm picking up my son's girlfriend. She's coming in from Orlando, Florida."Another traveler just got back from South America. It was 84 degrees when he left. "It's really an issue when you don't have any more clean long jeans and find out you're walking into negative 10 or 11 weather," said Amir Baz, a student at the University of Michigan-Flint.So much for preserving those warm vacation memories, even if the frigid air starts to retreat as expected, beginning Wednesday.

Born in 1948 in Chambers, NE, to Chloe Ellen McKay Harley and Duane McKay, Ellen was drawn to a life of service to others. Her biggest calling was taking care of people, especially her family. At home, she was a selfless, loyal and loving wife, mother of three, step-mother of five and grandmother of fifteen. During her career as a compassionate and dedicated social worker at Health and Human Services, Central Nebraska Community Services, Golden Living Center and Central Plains Center for Services, she guided and enriched the lives of countless members of the Broken Bow community. She is preceded in death by her parents, infant brother Mark Layne McKay, and husband of 12 years, Duane Mosbarger. Ellen is survived by her devoted husband of 19 years, Edwin Datus; beloved daughters Michelle Bjornsen Sandal (Toby) of Beatrice, NE; Melinda Bjornsen Prentice of Broken Bow, NE; and Stephanie Bjornsen Myrberg (Tim) of Elkhorn, NE.; loving step-children Geoff Datus (Jenee) of Fenton, MO; Geri Datus-Ward (Jason) of Plymouth, MN; Deb Spector (Michael) of Denver, CO; Darcy LaRosche of Denver, CO; and Dawn Wiegert (Kyle) of Fremont, NE;fifteen grandchildren; and a brother Ron (Jan) McKay. Visitation is at Govier Brothers Mortuary, 542 South 9th Ave., Broken Bow, NE, on Friday, Oct. 4, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with family in attendance from 6 to 7 p.m. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 10 a.m. at United Methodist Church, 1000 South 3rd Ave., Broken Bow, NE, with interment to follow at Westerville Cemetery.

My friend and I ventured out to Manhattan today to visit places I've wrote down in my notebook a while back when I got here. At the end of the day, I stopped at a place called Bond No. 9, which turned out to be a fragrance store. They name their fragrance around districts of New York, and not only the products but the store design as well as the customer service was superb. I ended up getting this one called Cooper Square, which has a hint of cashmere wood and cognac.
P.S. The best part about this place is that they put their samples in a candy wrapper!

In the wake of the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, semi-automatic weapon sales have skyrocketed, specifically for AR-15 rifles, the same gun that shooter Adam Lanza used to murder 20 children and six adults on that horrifying day. Gun shops can't seem to stay stocked, and there are even reports of long wait lists for the military rifles. In an even sicker twist, a lot of those weapons seem to have been given as Christmas gifts, and the recipients have been posting photos of themselves, posing with their new assault weapons. And a lot of them are women. Women. Holding assault rifles. WTF?
Why anyone needs weapons like this who isn't, you know, stationed in Afghanistan, is beyond me. But also, who gives someone else an assault weapon for Christmas???
This type of gun was not just used in the Sandy Hook shootings. It was also the weapon of choice of accused Aurora, Colorado movie-theater shooter James Holmes last summer and Jacob Roberts, the shooter identified in the Portland Mall shooting earlier this month. One was also used by William Spengler just a few nights ago on Christmas Eve. Spengler murdered two firefighters and shot two more as they tried to fight a fire he started.
And now ammunition is apparently flying off the shelves as well. "This week, the world's largest firearms dealer said it has sold 3.5 years of magazines for the AR-15 -- in just three days and were struggling to meet the demand," according to The Daily Mail.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Who give guns as Christmas presents? I mean really. I'm asking in all seriousness. Because not only is it in incredibly poor taste to post a photo of yourself holding the same weapon that's been responsible for four of the most heinous crimes in recent memory ... it's just kind of sick. Merry Christmas! Here's my assault rifle!
What does it say about us as a country that people give each other weapons for Christmas? Nothing good, I think. Nothing good. And that people are so boastful and enthusiastic about receiving killing machines on a holiday that's supposed to be about love and family and joy. Not the kind of joy in the face of this woman, baring her midriff and aiming her big gun. I don't get it.
Do you think an assault weapon is an appropriate Christmas gift?
Images via lizabajew/Instagram, MitchellRayJ/Twitter, and reg_bottoms/Instagram
I agree with Billsfan on both comments. Adam killed 20 kids and *7* adults. Also it's not sick for them to post the pics of them with their new rifles. That is them telling you that you aren't taking away their guns. They are proud gun owners and have the right to be. If you don't like the pictures, simply don't look. If you don't want to own a gun, then don't own one. I don't but many in my family do and have, it's their right.

My two rp toons are both gnomes. I am thankful for the explanation as to why the gnomes were no longer welcome guests in Ironforge. It makes me sad, though.
The dwarves of Ironforge have been the best friends of the gnomes for years. They took in the gnomes after the fall of Gnomeregan, giving them shelter, support, and friendship.
Every gnome is aware of what they owe the citizens of Ironforge and gnomes always repay their debts. You can say they are wired for it. (heh)
They will not let an upstart like Moira get permanently in the way of that friendship. I am interested in where the storyline goes next.

The black-and-white picture shows young women in the 1940s enriching uranium for the world's first atomic bomb. The neatly dressed women sit in a large factory, their hands on knobs and levers as they look sideways at a photographer.
It was this picture that prompted author and journalist Denise Kiernan to investigate and write "The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II."

The bobcat, named for its short, bobbed tail, is the most common wildcat in North America. This mammal is a member of the cat family Felidae, which appeared approximately 1.8 million years ago. Its genus is Lynx, with a subgenus of Felis.
Its species is Lynx Rufus, with a subgenus of Felis Rufus. There has been debate over whether to classify the bobcat as part of a wider genus, or give them their own.
The Lynx genus is accepted now, in modern classification sources, and the bobcat is listed as Lynx Rufus. The bobcat is the smallest of the four species of the Lynx genus on average, with a height of 17-23 inches, and length of 25-41 inches.
It is about twice as big as a common house cat, and resembles other species of the Lynx genus, only smaller. The four types of Lynx are Eurasian, Canadian, Iberian, and Bobcat. The bobcat is common throughout Canada, continental United States, and northern Mexico. The bobcat is known to live in the Florida Everglades, and although categorized as "of least concern" on the endangerment list, much work has to be done to make sure that the habitat is, and will be suitable for the bobcat's survival in the future.
The coat of the Lynx Rufus, or bobcat, is generally a tan color, to grayish brown, with black streaks on its body, and dark bars on its legs and short, bobbed tail. When viewing a bobcat from afar, the dark streaks may look like spots. Its ears are black-tipped and pointed, with short black tufts of hair sticking out, making its face look wide.
The bobcat is colored to camouflage, or hide in its environment, so the desert bobcats are often much lighter, as the forest bobcat's coat is much darker. Most bobcats also have an off-white color on the belly, legs, and chin. Their eyes are yellow, with black pupils, they have sharp hearing, vision, and sense of smell, and are excellent climbers.
Bobcats are usually solitary and territorial, but small groups may hunt and travel together on occasion.
The range of a bobcat is from .02 to 126 square miles, and male's territories may overlap, but not usually for females. Bobcats inhabit areas with deciduous and coniferous trees, or mixed woodlands, and unlike other Lynx, it does not depend on the deep forest exclusively.
It ranges from swamps and desert areas, to mountainous and agricultural areas to live. Bobcats are able to swim, but most generally avoid the water. Bobcats prey upon anything from insects and small rodents, to deer, although it prefers rabbits and hares.
The bobcat is able to go without food for long periods of time, but they eat heartily when prey is available. Bobcats will mark their territory with claw marks, or deposits of urine or feces, and will create dens in crevices, or under ledges. The bobcat is crepuscular, meaning that it keeps moving three hours before sunset, until midnight, then before dawn, until three hours after sunrise.
Each night, it moves from two to seven miles. This movement is subject to change seasonally with the difference in prey movement.
Bobcats usually live six to eight years in the wild, but some do live beyond ten years of age. This is not taking into account the longer lives of those bobcats who are raised in captivity. Mating takes place in late winter, usually February and March, and the male and female bobcat may have many partners. There are two to four kittens, once a year, with a seventy-day gestational period.
The kittens stay with the mother for one more winter, before adventuring out on their own. The bobcat remains reproductively active throughout their lives, and they begin breeding by the second summer of life. Their population has proven to be somewhat resilient, and the longevity of the reproductive activity contributes to this, along with their instinctive territorial behaviors, and protective nature.
The bobcat in the Florida Everglades faces many obstacles for survival today. Major risks to the lives of bobcats include cougars, coyotes, disease from infected prey that they have eaten, hunters, automobiles, starvation, and polluted water sources. Although not considered threatened with extinction this moment, major efforts have to be made in order to keep the bobcat and the other wildlife population safe.
The bobcat needs to keep its own genus, so that it is not grouped with others, creating a larger bobcat population count than there actually is, and the habitat requires much needed improvement, which has been delayed for over a decade in the Florida Everglades. State and Federal departments being able to coordinate efforts, will determine the future of the Everglades.
Their mutual goals are to restore the Everglades watershed, and the four million acres that are managed by these state and federal agencies. The present conservation status is that there is currently an attempt to tie the state's cleanup efforts to the the federals aim at increasing water flow into Everglades National Park.
Other projects to be addressed are phosphorous from farm runoff, suburban construction interference, and drainage projects that do not work. It is not enough to to appreciate nature, we have to protect it for the future, and both the state and federal authorities have the ability to make the Everglades and the bobcat safe, if they work together to achieve the goals set forth.

Whether during his daily commute, a business trip or occasional weekend jaunt, Jeff Kane sits behind a steering wheel much more than the average driver. "I spend more time there than anyplace else," he says of his '06 Nissan 350Z. With that the case, the longtime car audio enthusiast couldn't just upgrade his "garage queen," a Mercedes E55 (which we featured in Apr. '07). His daily driver also needed to step up to the plate.
"I wanted the best I could get in sound quality and entertainment options," Kane says of his goals for the Z. In addition, he wanted all these amenities while preserving the sporty car's stock appearance. He turned to Louis Gonzales of Bay Area Audio Visions in Corpus Cristi, TX, to make it happen. As Gonzales incorporated new gear, goals evolved. Now, the Z spans the realms of stealth and custom flair. But more importantly, it has that great SQ and all the media choices Kane was after to keep him company on the road.
Entertainment OptionsSince Kane spends so many hours in the Z, he needed more entertainment than the standard AM/FM radio can provide. After Gonzales got his hands on the car, Kane now has so many different source options that conventional radio never gets airtime. His choices include TV, DVD, CD, XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, iPod and DVD-Audio. "If we're on a road trip, we can watch movies or catch up on TV," Kane says. "If I'm on the road by myself, I can choose between Sirius and XM."
While watching movies or, more frequently, listening to DVD-Audio discs, surround sound comes into play. "Initially, I wanted DVD-A compatibility on a lark, but I didn't think it'd make much difference," Kane confesses. Now, the man's hooked. The versatile Pioneer AVH-P7600DVD receiver is Dolby Digital 5.1 capable and also can control a nav unit, the Pioneer AVIC-88DVD. This add-on resides in the hatch along with the JL Audio amps, passive crossovers and the other Pioneer tuners that give Kane his A/V smorgasbord.
Hear the SoundA variety of sources was just one part of the Z's equation. Kane also wanted the car to sound great. For a strong, reverb-free foundation, Gonzales laid Brown Bread damping material everywhere, even in areas completely bare of audio equipment. Everything touching the signal was chosen with care, such as Esoteric Audio cables and wires.
Brax components got the nod for the front stage and placing them required some aesthetic and SQ considerations. Since the factory front speaker placements didn't have enough depth to accommodate the midbass, locating the speaker there would require redoing the door panel. This would blatantly conflict with Kane's initial stealth goals. Also, both owner and installer "knew that placement of the front speakers was paramount for the best sound quality," Gonzales reveals. "Therefore, kick panel locations were chosen instead to minimize path length differences."
The tweeters of the component set lodge up in the A-pillars, almost parallel with the center channel, a discrete 5.1 surround sound necessity. "After hearing multichannel audio done well, I'm a convert," Kane confesses. In fact, he would even like to add one of the new Sony SACD players to the system. "DVD-A sadly seems to be disappearing, but SACD is quite healthy and has much more content available," he says.
As important as the center channel for 5.1, the surround speakers found a home in the rear deck. "The factory locations proved to be the best compromise for the new home to a pair of JL Audio XR650-CXi 6.5" coaxials," Gonzales notes. The installer still had to modify the location with MDF rings that spaced out and centered the speakers. Some things couldn't be fixed with physical alterations - due to the close proximity of the speakers to the listener's head, Gonzales used electrical time alignment from the head unit to create a bigger listening space.
For the .1 channel, Kane originally got 12" subwoofers, which clearly wouldn't fit as the build progressed. "Anyone that has ever worked on a 350Z can appreciate the lack of space and awkward layout of the behind-the-seat area," Gonzales says. Eight-inchers triumphed as their best option. "Because we were going to use only 8" subwoofers and still wanted plenty of bass to realistically create all the sub-bass information from the 5.1 movies, as well as all ranges of music that might be played on the system, our choices of driver got real small real fast," Gonzales says. In the end they went with JL Audio 8W7-3's in separate ported enclosures.
Evolving DesignAs Gonzales installed the various pieces of equipment, the look of the system didn't seem right. "Midway through the build," Kane relates, "Louis gave me a call and said, 'I'm just not feelin' it.' " Kane thought it over and had to agree that the Z's factory interior didn't have much going for it aesthetically. "It's quite basic and Spartan inside," he says, overcoming his reaction to preserve the stock look. "In this case... I was worrying about aesthetics that didn't exist!"
With a green light to pump up the interior with custom details, Gonzales trimmed the speakers with frosted acrylic and black acrylic. Blue LEDs illuminate the clear acrylic for a distinctive "show" look. The same treatment follows to the Brax amps, which could've been covered with a panel instead of being put on display. In the painfully cramped and difficult-to-work-in area behind the strut bar, Gonzales mounted the pair on angled MDF racks.
Though the Z turned out a little different than Kane intended on the onset, the resulting combination of eye and ear candy makes for an enjoyable daily driver and a powerful competitor car. Kane had never entered vehicles in competitions before, but Gonzales introduced him to the scene and the Z recently won second place at CAE's Trifecta event in San Antonio, TX. Despite the fun of going to SEMA and winning trophies, it's the pleasure of a good drive and great sounds that gets Kane going. "Carving hills in the crisp early morning air with the sunrise at my back, the stereo and the engine on song," he muses about solo drives through the Texas hill country. "It may sound a bit hackneyed but it's awe inspiring."
Driver Profile:With a job in sales and management, Jeff Kane spends a lot of time on the road. Fortunately he loves a drive and will go the distance to get a good one. "South Texas is flat," he explains, "so the roads to the west are the closest 'driving roads' available. I'll get up early on a Sunday morning and go for a long drive while my better half sleeps." Thanks go to "God, my loving wife Amy, Louis for all his tireless efforts, my parents, family, friends and everyone who's a positive force in my life."

Albany -- One Albany woman is two and a half million dollars richer after striking it big in a Georgia Lottery scratch-off game.
Sales are way up at the Mini-Mart on Stuart Avenue today because that's where a winner scratched it big in the lottery last night. She doesn't want us to identify her, but she bought a roll of ten dollar scratch-offs in the $300 Million Gold Rush game.
And one of them uncovered a two and half million dollar jackpot.
"She comes in about once a week, buys her scratch offs, sits back there and scratches," said her friend, Carylyn Hoots.
The woman turned in her winning ticket at the Lottery's Atlanta office this afternoon.
Customers are calling the Mini Mart the luckiest store in Albany. They sold a $250,000 Merry Money winner in 2003. Then in 2004, they sold a Fantasy Five game that paid $281,000.

This is really good - couple of things the recipe doesn't say this but I diced the Canadian bacon and sautéed it before adding the carrots and mushrooms. The sauce was a little thin so I added the flour from coating the chicken to thicken it up. This was really delicious - I had some sweet fingerling potatoes that we baked along with some roasted baby broccoli - it was a great Thursday night dinner. Imagine that coq au vin after work

For the past several years, the farmland values have steadily chugged upward. In fact, USDA said in 2012 that farm real estate values increased nearly 11% from 2011. So, what will be the trend this year?
A recent Farm Journal Pulse asked: What are your expectations for farmland values during 2013?
Here's a breakdown of the results:
Almost half of the 1,500 respondents expect farmland values to stay the same, while 34% expect them to increase. Less than 20% expect values to decrease.

It'll be seat of my pants, heart exploding, dont crash the car fun.
I'll let you know…..
get to spend a night away with Tori, in manchester, being visually and sonically blow away….
Its come to that point again where I think I need new or just maybe more audio toys to play with. So the three main contenders are….
The main one is an Boss RE-20 Effects unit - Due to the fact its awesome and would fit in my back pack with ease. Also one of the best reverbs I have ever heard!!
Audix OM 5 - Vocal Mic - To solve my mix woes, and get that vocal through the epic noise!!
And finally two, yes two, hughes-and-kettner Red Boxes. To reinforce my guitar mixes and melt you insides with the tone
But of course no money, doesn't help.
One day….soon.
Afternoon to all, please excuse myself not post anything for a while, I've been distracted. There is lots to tell but if you already know me then I've probably already told you, but I want to tell you all again.
Recent adventures include.
Seeing DFA 1979 at the HMV Forum in london. It has to be the single greatest thing I have ever experienced. I love DFA and they played ever fucking song. I think I ended up smiling for at least 24 hours solid after it all.
Last night we had Rolo Tomassi played my wonderful work place, Norwich Arts Centre. (Which you should vote for here as greatest small venue in the UK). It was an awesome gig, loud, trashy and mad. Also having Holy State as main support was insane, never thought having fleetwood mac on before a set would be such a good idea. Great night.
Only ten days into may and still so much left to look forward too…
On the 19th Im off with to see Sufjan Stevens at the Manchester Apollo. Im going with my amazing girlfriend Tori, And its going to be visually and sonically mind blowing.
Then off to Primavera with the fabulous Bearsuit to do some sound work. And watch some bands maybe, but I'll let you know later.
All in all fucking brilliant month so far, and I promise to keep you all up to date with it all.

BARBRI is a company in the United States that offers a widely used bar exam preparation course. American recipients of a Juris Doctor degree can attend a six-week BARBRI course,[citation needed] which features lectures by law professors on the six major areas covered on the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) – torts, contracts, real property, evidence, criminal law, and constitutional law – along with additional lectures on the specific law of the state. Most of the lectures are presented in person, remotely on DVD, or online through the BARBRI website. BARBRI also supplies participants with outlines of the topic areas tested on each state's bar exam, practice essay questions, and multiple-choice questions.
Four of the company's predecessors were founded in the 1950s by William A. Rutter, who died in 2012, and in 1967 by two Chicago attorneys – Lewis Collens and Beardsley Ruml. In 1974, the unsuccessful San Francisco-based "Bay Area Review" (BAR) and Chicago-based "Bar Review Inc." (BRI) were bought by publisher Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich for $5 million, and promptly combined. The new subsidiary was officially known as "Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Legal and Professional Publications," but was marketed under the brand name BAR/BRI. William Rutter became key Chairman and CEO. Stan Chess was President of BAR/BRI from 1980 until 1995, and the President of BARBRI is currently Mike Sims.
The company was formerly owned by Thomson Reuters, the owner of the Westlaw legal research system. In April 2011 BARBRI was sold to Leeds Equity Partners.
BARBRI offers preparation courses in every state and the District of Columbia for both the summer and winter administration of the bar exam. In most larger states, live presentations are available in one or more locations during the summer course. The course is also offered remotely in additional locations, often on or near the campus of various law schools. BARBRI also provides a "home study" version of the course, in which students listen to lectures on an iPod or students can access or make-up lectures through the BARBRI website. The course consists of lectures on substantive law, multiple choice question review, a practice administration of the multistate bar exam, and practice essay questions. Most lectures last from three to four hours. BARBRI also provides numerous course books which include summaries of the substantive law, note-taking outlines, and practice questions. Most BARBRI lecturers are full-time tenured law professors, and some have lectured for the company for many years. Among long-time BARBRI lecturers are Erwin Chemerinsky (UC Irvine); John Diamond (UC Hastings); Stanley Johanson (Texas); Faust Rossi (Cornell); Michael D. Sabbath (Mercer); Roger Schechter (George Washington); John "Kip" Cornwell (Seton Hall Law School); Michael Spak (Chicago-Kent College of Law), Louis Collins (Chicago-Kent College of Law), David G. Epstein (University of Richmond School of Law), and Irving Younger (Minnesota College of Law).

Indianapolis has become a sister city with Hangzhou, China since
2008. The Indianapolis Public Library and the Hangzhou Public
Library embrace their first professional exchange program this
year, which include collection exchanges and professional
experience exchanges.
As part of the Sister City exchange, The Indianapolis Public
Library will host two staff members for two weeks in the fall from
the Hangzhou Library who will gain insight into local library
practices and American culture.
The exchanges will allow for sharing best practices,
conversations about shared problems, a comparison of library
policies, and presentations on various library topics.
"These staff exchanges offer us the opportunity to become
imbedded in a different culture and understand what libraries mean
to others, obtain real insights into other approaches to
organizing, funding and providing services, and to deepen our
appreciation for diversity," stated Jackie Nytes, CEO of The
Indianapolis Public Library.
"We promote these active cultural and educational exchanges
because it is important to our success as a city," said Mayor Greg
Ballard. "In today's world economy, it is more critical than ever
for Indianapolis to be a city that is globally recognized as a
great place to live, work and raise a family, and these
relationships go a long way to promoting our appeal as a
destination that embraces diversity."

Mentoring Legal Professionals
Kim Ross, Second Vice President of the Legal Assistants of North
Texas Association (LANTA), addressed the National Association
of Legal Assistants (NALA) Education Conference in Sparks,
Nevada, July 2004, about the value and the need of mentoring
relationships in the legal profession. NALA's affiliated paralegal
associations in Alabama, California, Texas, and Kansas each
supports a mentoring program. But how does an organization
initiate a mentoring program? And why?

check, please (pre-production, 2014); Every week, at 7PM on Tuesday evening, four New York City couples, each in various stages of their relationships, get together for counseling. Having no outside interactions with one another, this is the only place where they get to compare one another and their problems, analyzing whose relationship needs the most work. The newest couple in the group is the firecracker, Lyla, an illustrator who specializes in children's books, and her controlling boyfriend, Jacob, who seems to switch jobs every other week. Then there's Sofia, a burlesque dancer who constantly doubts if her architect fiance, Jackson, is being faithful. Of course, one can't forget the newlyweds - stay at home wife Evelyn and her engineer husband Connor. And last, but most certainly not least, is Serena - a pill-popping psychologist - and her soon to be alcoholic ex-husband, Noah. One Tuesday evening, following the announcement of Serena & Noah's filing for divorce, Lyla declares an idea: for one week, all of them exchange spouses with another couple. Check, Please follows the four couples for one week as they search for the answer to one question: if you trade your spouse, do you trade your problems?

Wow, can you believe the creator of the insanely popular Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, didn't even graduate from college?
Check out the list of Most Surprising College Drop-Outs (with photos) over on HuffPo. The list also includes musician Lady Gaga, filmmaker James Cameron, and comedian Ellen DeGeneres.
I point out this story NOT so you can show your teens who think they don't want to go to college. I show you this story so you don't feel hopeless if your graduated teens have already chosen not to go to college (or soon will).
If you have a bright, industrious, hard-working child (or, truthfully, sometimes even far less), there is still hope for them to find success. College isn't the only way (but don't tell them that if they're still deciding; just tell yourself if you're worrying about it).
Do you have child who doesn't want to or decide not to go to college?

How to Find a Good, Affordable College
Love the fact Bill Gates was a college dropout. Not sure why... I think because it worked for him!
Most important thing for a teen/young adult to consider when dropping out is what they plan to do once they quit. Quitting is fine, as long as there is a plan, and it is the right plan.
So did Steve Jobs. . . CEO of Apple Inc!
A college education isn't as important now as it was back in our parents' (or even our) day....if you've got good ideas, you can go places. Some people are born with it. If you're going to work for yourself, you set he rules.
But c'mon, Lady Gaga? Seriously? The fact SHE dropped out of college is surprising? Please explain to me how that's surprising...I'd be surprised to find out she graduated high school for crying out loud.
I WILL STRONGLY encourage my child to at least get his bachelor's degree...I believe education is VERY important and it's something NO ONE can take away from you!!!!!!
Mine are not old enough to decide yet about college. We will encourage them to go, of course. However, as someone with an advanced degree, sitting here unemployed, I know that finishing college doesn't assure you a job.

Optimal Income Transfers and Tariffs
AbstractThis paper investigates the optimality of international income transfers in a two-country model in which each country engages in non-cooperative trade policy behaviour. It is shown that unconditional income transfers can never be optimal for the donor country, which not only suffers the loss of income but is harmed as the recipient responds optimally by raising tariffs. It is further shown that it is possible for the donor to attach carefully designed conditionality rules to the aid package to ensure that the recipient will agree to the package and that the donor's welfare is improved. In fact, the use of conditional income transfers is shown to result in a Pareto efficient equilibrium.

Why is it so easy for him to move on?
Me and my ex were together for about 9 months, then he left me for someone else. When we were together, he said he loved me, he wanted to marry me, he wanted to have kids with me, but then he went back to his ex girlfriend (who cheated on him) It has been 3 weeks without contact and it seems like he has already forgotten about me and the time we shared together. Why is it so easy for him to move on, when my heart is in pieces?

Muladhara, the Root Chakra:
It is the center of physical energy and vitality, the energy we need to succeed in business or material possessions. It is the center of manifestations. The base, or root chakra, is located at the very bottom of the spine. This chakra governs issues around physical self-preservation. These issues include survival, security and safety, as well as primal erotic and procreational urges.
This chakra is the grounding force that allows us to connect to the earth energies and empower our being. Every other chakra is downstream of it and only receives the energy that the root chakra can pass through it. That is why it is vital that one's root chakra is strong to be able to live a healthy spiritual life. The path to health and mystical power goes right through the gender organs. To understand your root chakra, you must come to a place of peace with your sexual energy.
Colours associated with the root chakra are red and black. It is the element of Earth and its sense is smell. The musical note at which this chakra vibrates at is low C.
It is best that one balances the energy in their root chakra. If the energy in the root chakra is balanced, one will feel centered, grounded, healthy, fully alive, have unlimited physical energy, and can manifest abundance. They must take good care of their body. People who have open root chakras love their lives (their physical incarnation in their present bodies).
If one has excessive energy in the root chakra, they tend to be egoistic, domineering, greedy, sadistic, judgmental, have biased opinions, and have sexual energy entirely in their genital area.
One with deficient energy in the root chakra (or otherwise, a closed/blocked chakra) tends to have a lack of confidence, is weak, cannot achieve goals, suicidal, feel unlovable, lack of sexual energy and little interest in sex, masochistic, fearful and insecure. Blockage in this energy center of the body can result in a core sense of unworthiness and self-doubt and shame. Thought forms would be similar to "I don't deserve love," "I'm ashamed of who I am," or "I'm always misunderstood." They try to compensate for these feelings by acquiring, keeping and controlling material possessions, by becoming addicted to material things. The ultimate root chakra failure is suicide.
Illnesses and problems resulting from a blockade in the root chakra include drug addictions, anemia, cancer, arthritis, heart disease, gynecological problems, AIDS, herpes, candida, a decreased immune system, lower back pain, constipation, and physical problems with the coccyx, anus and genitals.
Glands and organs associated with the root chakra include the adrenals, kidneys, spinal column, colon, legs, and bones.
Gems and minerals associated with the root chakra that can be used in stone meditation and for clearing blockades in the chakra are ruby, garnet, bloodstone, red jasper, black tourmaline, obsidian, smokey quartz, and hematite.
Scents associated with the root chakra that can be used in a form of oil or incense in aromatherapy during meditation or yoga are patchouli, cedarwood, lavender, musk, hyacinth, cinnamon, myrrh, and sandalwood.
Good ways to clear and balance this chakra: Dancing barefoot, especially outside, is a good way to ground. House cleaning and cooking can do the same. Or hugging a tree and taking care of plants. Focusing on the colour red (and using colour healing) can help bring your energetic body "down to earth" and in alignment with your physical body. One should try opening this chakra by using colours, scents, and crystals during meditation.
Yoga poses associated with this chakra include virabhadrasana 1 (warrior), trikonasana (triangle), and garudasana (eagle).
Positive affirmations for this chakra: "I know who I am and make choices based on what I know is right for me," "I am supported in life through all my choices to do good and share the light of love," "My body supports me in living a creative and happy life," I am open to the spirit of life, which carries me beyond my original limits to a higher, more creative space," "I am thankful for all the opportunities for growth and development that have come my way," "I am grateful for the challenges that have taught me who I truly am," "I love life."

Gabe Newell: Valve "Not Announcing Anything At E3"
Posted on Wednesday, May 2 @ 09:17:26 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
A forum member for Valvetime.net named tabernumse asked Gabe Newell point-blank in an email:
To which Gabe responded:
Just to make sure he wasn't kidding, the site asked for video evidence and another confirmation from Gabe. So yeah, they're not going to show anything at E3, unless it's a bold-faced lie. I wouldn't mind that. Pretty please.
