It's no secret that the islands of Aloha are a paradise on earth. And it's a given that no matter where you go in Hawaii, you'll be treated to gorgeous scenery, spectacular beaches, a tranquil atmosphere, fantastic weather and friendly faces. But, just like people, each of the islands has its own personality and vibes. And with vacation time, not to mention dollars, in limited supply these days, visitors want to know which of the six Hawaiian islands best suits their style. Here, we've profiled the picturesque isles so you can make the most of your time.
Maui has more than 30 miles of beaches, and with that many all on one island, your only worry is deciding among them. Sun worshippers swear by Kaanapali Beach, a three-mile-long crescent lined with posh resorts, tony condos, swanky shops and top restaurants. Its central location makes it great for people watching. Some of the best snorkeling can be found at Kapalua Bay Beach, bordering the Kapalua resort area. The bay is protected by two reefs, which keep the waters calm, making it an ideal spot for beginners. Maluaka Beach in Makena on the south shore is known as Turtle Town, for its booming population of placid green sea turtles. Windsurfers and kiteboarders have made the north shore's Kanaha Beach their haven.
Grab a spot on the sand and watch the world's best windsurfers in action at Hookipa Beach, where 20-foot waves are the norm. Puamana Beach on the west coast is a favorite for beginner-and intermediate-level surfers, thanks to waisthigh, gently rolling waves. And if powdery-white or gleaming golden-sand beaches become too run-of-the-mill for you, head to the redsand Kaihalulu Beach in Hana on the far east coast of the island. This hidden gem can be reached only by a slippery cinder trail, but the view makes it well worth the effort.

The Garden Isle is regarded as the most verdant and beautiful green scene in the Hawaiian Islands. Kauai has endless scenery to savor and explore. One of the finest walks is the strenuous Kalalau Trail, an 11-mile trek that winds along the rugged coastline. The path descends into dense rain forests and climbs up cliffs; along the way, streams and pools provide refreshing swimming holes. Kokee State Park, home to the enormous Waimea Canyon, offers about 45 miles of the state's finest hiking trails, in varying degrees of difficulty. Hop on an excursion with Kayak Kauai, and you can enjoy the adventure with the help of knowledgeable guides (excursions start at $126 per person and include guides, gear, lunch and juices; kayakkauai.com). If you prefer to explore from the water, Outfitters Kauai offers several day-long kayak excursions, including tours to breathtaking 2,000-foot-high waterfalls and whale watching (excursions start at $81 per person and include transfers, lunch and water; outfitterskauai.com).

With 12 climate zones, ranging from tropical rain forest to desert and snowy peaks, the Big Island of Hawaii is the perfect playground for those who crave adventure. You'll soar over lava fields, towering sea cliffs, gushing waterfalls, isolated valleys and black-sand beaches (excursions start at $183 per person; bluehawaiian.com). Or get down and dirty on a hike through the lush forest on the rim of Waipio Valley, located along the Hamakua Coast on the northeastern portion of the island. Hawaii Forest & Trail offers guided hikes to the area, as well as tours of the rain forest in Kohala, on the northernmost portion of the island.
You can also take an excursion to the observatories on top of snow-covered Mauna Kea as well as to the continuously erupting Kilauea in Volcanoes National Park (excursions start at $135 per person and include water, juices and snacks; hawaii-forest.com). A five-hour bike tour, starting at the rim of Kilauea and winding through the protected area and down to the sea, is available through BikeVolcano.com, Inc. (excursions start at $99 per person; bikevolcano.com).

Attention all foodies, shoppers and club goers: Oahu, home to famous Waikiki Beach, the sizzling city of Honolulu and more than 60% of the state's entire population, is tailor-made for you. The most cosmopolitan of the Pacific archipelago, this island boasts world-class shopping and highly rated restaurants. But even as a city setting, the island is still very Hawaiian—strolling, surfing and enjoying the sunset are top activities.
A unique blend of cultures can be found in Hawaii, which means that many restaurants here feature a fusion of flavors with influences from Japan, the Philippines, China, Korea, Portugal and the Pacific Rim. Fine dining options include Chef Mavro, where you'll find intense flavors and the freshest ingredients in a seasonally changing menu. Each dish is paired with a wine of the chef's choosing (chefmavro.com). At Alan Wong's, foodies flock nightly to sample the playful interpretations of traditional Hawaiian dishes such as ginger-crusted onaga and Big Island abalone with Japanese mushrooms (alanwongs.com).

Don't miss out on an authentic Hawaiian dining experience—the plate lunch—a mountain of rice and meat, or fish topped with gravy, and served with a side of macaroni salad or cole slaw. Carb-rich, calorie laden, dead cheap and absolutely delicious, these so-called local "grinds" are the soul food of Hawaii. The humble Ono Hawaiian Foods, widely considered one of the best plate-lunch spots, serves authentic Hawaiian favorites, including lau lau, lomilomi salmon, kalua pork and poi. When President Obama comes to town, he favors Rainbow Drive-In, an outdoor eatery founded in 1961 that's also a hit with surfers (rainbowdrivein.com).
Fukuya is a 70-year-old family-run Japanese okazuya (delicatessen) that sells items individually, so you can create a personalized plate lunch. Specialties include Spam musubi (a cake of Japanese steamed rice, topped with a piece of Spam that has been simmered in a salty-sweet glaze), tempura and sushi (fukuyadeli.com).
Dancing under the stars is just one of the nightlife options in this up-all-night destination. Kick the evening off with a sunset mai tai in the oceanfront hot spot, Duke's Canoe Club and Barefoot Bar, at the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Hotel. Enjoy live Hawaiian music sitting in the sand or opt to tour the walls of surfing memorabilia inside the popular beach bar. After dinner, join Hawaii's chic set at the Pearl Ultralounge, located in the Ho'okipa Terrace at Ala Moana Center. The sleek bar features killer appetizers, an extensive cocktail menu, live acoustic music in the early evening and a DJ playing top-40 hits at night (pearlhawaii.com). Level 4 Nightclub & Ultra Lounge is arguably the best nightclub on Oahu. Modeled after Las Vegas discos, the hot spot has three bars, an exclusive VIP seating area, go-go dancers and aerialists. Don't be surprised if you bump into vacationing pop stars and pro-football players here (l4waikiki.com).
Shoppers score big on Oahu, which boasts a host of upscale designer stores and smaller, family-run boutiques. For designer duds, head to 2100 Kalakaua. Here, elegant shops, including Chanel, Bottega Veneta and Gucci, are situated along a palm tree-lined block (2100kalakaua.com). The enormous,open-air Ala Moana Center is a good option for those who like to combine some high-end window shopping with their more mid-priced buying sprees (alamoanacenter.com). Bailey's Antiques & Aloha Shirts is jammed with an array of new and vintage Hawaiian shirts (known in the islands as aloha shirts), with prices that range from breathtaking to bargain (alohashirts.com). The Aloha Stadium Swap Meet & Marketplace is a can't-miss for bargain hunters. Here you can purchase souvenir staples like coral shell jewelry, T-shirts and pottery, as well as an array of everyday items decorated in Hawaiian-style floral prints (admission is $1 per person; open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.; alohastadiumswapmeet.net).
What you won't see on these sleepy isles: crowds, tall buildings or traffic lights. What you will see: empty beaches, awesome vistas and seemingly endless miles of untamed coastline. Lanai, the more developed of the two, has just 3,000 residents and two resorts—the seaside Four Seasons Resort Lanai, Manele Bay and the upcountry Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Koele (room rates start at $385 a night; fourseasons.com). Unlike the other islands, Lanai doesn't have much of a tropical feel—kiawe trees, towering Cook pines and red dirt replace swaying palm trees. Go on a horseback ride from the Stables at Koele through stands of ironwood trees in the high country or hike along the Munro trail, which rises to Lanai hale, the island's highest point. From here, savor the views of nearly all of Hawaii in silence. And from the comfort of a beach chair, watch the spinner dolphins frolic in Hulopoe Bay near the Four Seasons property at Menele Bay.
Visiting Molokai is like stepping back in time. Known as the Most Hawaiian Island, Molokai is dotted with horse ranches, rolling pastures and farmland. Condos and vacation rentals take the place of luxury resorts, and the low-key, ocean-front Hotel Molokai is the lone hotel option. Visitors love the open-air bungalows, friendly staff and live entertainment (room rates start at $159 a night; hotelmolokai.com). The island's must-do activity is the three-mile mule ride to the tiny town of Kalaupapa, along a winding path, during which you pass numerous sheer drops on sea cliffs and negotiate about 26 switchbacks. After that, slip back into unwind mode on Papohaku Beach, which, at three uninterrupted miles, is the longest in the Hawaiian islands.

Oscar Scherer State Park South Creek
Beyond Sarasota County's beautiful beaches, shopping, dining and cultural amenities, there is something else to make your visit special.Discover a glimpse of Florida's "natural" side and its authentic beauty in our Florida State Parks.
East of Sarasota off State Road 72, Myakka River State Park is one of Florida's oldest and largest parks covering approximately 58 square miles of wetlands, prairies, hammocks, pinelands and riverine swamps. Towering oak trees draped in moss shade the roadways and many of the trails. Acres of Florida vegetation including the state tree, called the Sabal Palm, covers miles of scenic beauty. The Myakka River runs through the park and is considered one of Florida's most spectacular waterways anywhere.
Myakka Park is a delightful family getaway with a little something for everyone. Visitors can hike, bike, fish, bird, boat, or enjoy an old-fashioned tram ride, canopy walk, camp or picnic – all in the surroundings of one of the area's best "old" Florida settings.
Located south of Sarasota off U.S. Highway 41 lies one of the area's best secrets, Oscar Scherer State Park. Visitors can hardly believe that this natural and scenic sanctuary is so close to neighboring developments and urban amenities. It is a pristine pocket of natural beauty along South Creek.
Oscar Scherer protects the rare scrubby and pine flatwoods habitat that was once widespread throughout Florida. The park is also one of the state's best places to experience an up-close encounter with the Florida scrub-jay. This little blue bird with a curious demeanor is a true native Floridian and a threatened species.
For the serious outdoor adventurer, a must-visit is the Myakka State Forest. To get there, head south of Venice to the City of North Port.
This is the place that avid mountain bikers, hikers, horseback riders and primitive campers call their outdoor playground. Myakka State Forest, located off River Road, provides a rare opportunity to enjoy and play in thousands of acres of pristine, natural Florida. With so much area to roam and the plethora of wildlife, you are in for a special and authentic Florida experience.

I was hopeful this product would perform as the ad stated. I was trying to shrink wrap tubing on a wiring project. It worked for about 2 or 3 times while I was just testing to get the feel of the thing. Then it just stopped. It was filled with butane fluid but would not ignite. I believe the trigger just died. Buy this if you only want something to work for about 5 minutes or less. Its not worth returning because of the shipping. Cheap junk. DO NOT BUY THIS!

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in generic.PUTFIELD Razvanica Mon May 25 11:00:51 2009
Hello all, Here's my problem. I am trying to make some network simulations using a tool called JiST/SWANS. This simulator has been written for Java 1.4 and, for my simulations, I would like to use some 1.5 features, like genericity. So what I am trying to do is to compile the original code with the "source -1.5" tag instead of the "source -1.4" tag. The problem is that the simulator uses bcel to rewrite the bytecode so that JVM could be used for simulations. The bcel library in the release doesn't work with the "source -1.5" tag so I replace it with bcel-5.2. I made 2 minor modifications to the original code : - I have added an implementation of getClassPath in a class that implements org.apache.bcel.util.Repository. This class just returns null, just like in org.apache.bcel.util.ClassLoaderRepository - In a class using org.apache.bcel.Repository.lookupClass() I am now throwing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException These 2 modifications shouldn't change anything as far as I understand the application. And when I compile the new code with the "-source 1.4" tag, it doesn,t change anything. Everything compiles and works just fine. However, when I compile the new code with the "-source 1.5" tag the compilation goes smoothly, but, at runtime, the rewriter throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. This happens every time org.apache.bcel.generic.PUTFIELD.accept is called: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 at java.util.ArrayList.remove(ArrayList.java:390) at org.apache.bcel.verifier.structurals.OperandStack.pop(OperandStack.java:135) at org.apache.bcel.verifier.structurals.ExecutionVisitor.visitPUTFIELD(ExecutionVisitor.java:1048) at org.apache.bcel.generic.PUTFIELD.accept(PUTFIELD.java:78) Does anybody have any idea what happens and if there's something I could do to fix this? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException-in-generic.PUTFIELD-tp23710707p23710707.html Sent from the BCEL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Arcapita's private equity team operates out of its offices in Atlanta, London and Bahrain. Arcapita acts as a principal and arranger in the acquisition of controlling and non-controlling interests in established companies throughout the world with an emphasis on the United States, Europe, the Middle East and India, targeting growth-oriented private equity acquisitions with a total transaction value between $50 and $500 million. Arcapita looks for companies that have innovative products or services, leading market positions, and strong management teams capable of building shareholder value.
Transaction Review
Arcapita focuses on five target sectors where it has built up industry knowledge and a successful track record: healthcare, energy, business services, industrial and consumer sectors. Under some circumstances, the Bank will consider acquisitions across other industry sectors where opportunities emerge.
Arcapita looks for companies which score highly in a number of important areas. They should have innovative products or services, leading market positions and strong management teams capable of building shareholder value; a sustainable value proposition due to market strength in product line, technology, distribution, manufacturing, or brand; a clear business strategy with multiple avenues for growth and market share gains; industry growth drivers that are fundamental and compelling; experienced management motivated through equity incentives and co-investment; and exit potential through a financial or strategic sale, or initial public offerings.
Deal Structure
Private equity acquisitions are typically funded with a combination of equity and Islamically acceptable financing. Arcapita underwrites the equity portion of each acquisition using its own financial resources and, where the target company's capital structure allows, arranges non-recourse financing from leading financial institutions. A majority of the equity in each investment is then placed with the Bank's investor base.
Portfolio Company Management
Arcapita's private equity team and Portfolio Management Group work closely with each portfolio company management team in establishing a clearly defined business plan for creating equity value, while designing a tailored capital structure and management equity incentives to foster growth and profitability. Once the business plan is established, Arcapita's investment professionals monitor the investment at the company board level, working with the management of the company to address the needs of the business.
Exiting the Deal
Arcapita's aim is to nurture and grow the investments through the holding period with strategic and financial support when necessary, and at the appropriate time, to position the company for sale to a financial or strategic buyer, or through an IPO.

I've been trying to catch up on my New Yorkers the past few days; I don't love it's elitism, but totally dig that it's still publishing long form profiles and the like. The fact that I'm just getting to the May 17 edition should tell you something about my spring/summer. Anyway, forgive me for being way late to this party, but I wanted to make sure our community knew about the work of Esther Duflo, a professor of development economics. Ian Parker wrote a really fascinating profile of Duflo, the co-founder of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) at M.I.T., which runs field experiments that measure different ways to save the world. (Note: a subscription is required to read the entire digital edition.)
From Parker's perspective, Duflo is a "left-of-center French intellectual with faith in redistribution." From mine, she's a woman in the male-dominated field of economics who insists on getting beyond the hype that so often surrounds international development and social entrepreneurship to look at what really works. She says, "I have one opinion–one should evaluate things–which is strongly held. I'm never unhappy with the results. I haven't yet seen a result I didn't like."
That's why when, for example, Duflo and her lab find that micro-lending is not all its cracked up to be, she's not afraid to talk about those results even if she might offend the micro-lending evangelists through out the development world. I've been around the block too long to be a purist, myself, particularly when it comes to approaches to justice, but it's really refreshing to hear about someone who takes such a sober, unbiased approach to evaluating whether the hype is warranted around some of our biggest trends in social change.

Just Maybe3 Reviews
"Wow," He whisper
"I know," I whisper back.
"Why did you kiss me," He ask
There comes a moment in time when someone asks you a question and you have no idea how to answer that person, this is one of those moments. Sometimes you can lie your away out but if you do then you will be like me. So what could I say?
"I don't know," I replied. I did not know maybe these feelings I have for him are finally catching up too me I had to face it sooner of later. I cannot say I like you he would never believe me I am a liar anything I say is a lie.
"So it was a something you regret isn't it," He said while we both stood up.
Was it something I regret I do not think so there is a lot of stuff in life I regret but kissing him is not one of them. He does not understand how hard it is for me to tell the truth when I have no idea what the truth is anymore.
"You do not understand how hard this is for me I am a liar I can not say how I feel or tell the truth when inside I want to scream it all out. It does kill me I lied my whole life but when I met you something happen, you made me see what a liar I really am, but you would never believe me I lie" I said. I could not say I said honesty because I had not idea if I told the truth or what I said, but saying all of that made me feel right.
"How can I believe you? You have lied to me before many of times how can I just all of a sudden believe you. I really do think it would be for the best if we just we our separate ways in life, "He said while looking at me.
All I can do was nod I was even surprise I could do that, I watch him turn away and walk away. Right there in that moment in time I think a part of me just died and there was no way I could change that. I could feel the tears coming down my face I had never cried before so I guess this is what crying feels like, I do not think I like crying. Maybe I should just go stand on the edge of the wall and just jump, and then my lying days would be gone forever, so why should I not give it a try.
Another short update. Will update again. Thanks for the reviews :)

If they make a new iPhone for verizon better than the iPhone 4 and not for AT&T I'll be soo pissed
I hope this is true. Maybe AT&Ts networks will finally get a break. There's way too much congestion and I'm sure 75% of those people only have an iPhone to be cool. Please oh please get over hyped Verizion iPhone. Lol
Maybe just wait for a release until next summer?
Instead of you all whining and complaining and competing if verizon or t-mobile should have the iphone, why not say all of them?
Why shouldn't iphone be for all carries?
Before some smartass replys to this, i didn't do research its a question, if you can answer it go ahead.
If they made it for all carriers they would expand in ways no one can imagine.
Apple would pretty much dominate the tech world, but then again, it's been dominating this year ALOT
I think if there does ever come a CDMA version of the iphone, we have china to thank for it. With China being such a HUGE market, Apple was more inclined to work with them, then just worrying about verizon. Since the deal went through with China, little modding should be needed for a verizon model.
but thats just my opinion...
Hopefully, if the iphone does come to verizon, it could be unlocked to work with other cdma carriers. I would like that because i'm on sprint.
I don't mind the rumors. It gives us all something to talk about. And if you don't want to talk about it, then don't open that thread. I don't understand why some people feel the need to tell everyone what they're tired of reading. IF YOU'RE TIRED OF READING IT THEN DON'T READ IT.
Would it be a good marketing decision if Apple releases the iPhone for Sprint? Why or Why Not?
Couldnt agree more.....well said!!!!
Verizon seems like a good idea then But damn so many phones to choose from... Droid X, Incredible, Droid... And now the iPhone? Lol. I'm good with AT&T now, unless verizon has "Faster Internet" then I'm sticking with AT&T. HTC Evo 4G (>, =, <) iPhone?
All of you are ignorant. Every shred of evidence points to Boost Mobile. It's a fact. Believe it.
One thing about forums and our 'news' is that most of it is half truths based on a small bit of fact and then extrapolated to mean what we want it to. For instance, 'unlocking' a CDMA phone kinda doesn't exist in the conventional sense. It's not like GSM where you just pop a SIM card in and the carrier information is already there. With CDMA the settings are programmed into the phone from the carrier and would need to be updated with each carrier you go to. Most won't even take a device from another company. And if a company has never carried that particular device, chances are they will not have the exact programming to have the phone work accurately for that device. You may get lucky, but there's a higher probability that you won't.

Keith Urban Early Leader At ACM Awards With 3
(AP) - The Band Perry opened The Academy of Country Music Awards a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll with a sexy version of their hit "Chainsaw," but it was Keith Urban who was ripping through the awards as they opened.
The "American Idol" judge was the early leader Sunday night, cashing in by teaming up with his super friends. He won two trophies as producer and performer when he and Miranda Lambert won vocal event of the year for their duet "We Were Us" before the awards.
And his "Highway Don't Care" collaboration with Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift won video of the year.
Lambert and McGraw are the top nominees with seven apiece and Urban is up for six.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Four years ago, Joe Biden was careful not to appear overly aggressive in the vice presidential debate with Sarah Palin, then a newcomer to the national stage.
But Biden is less concerned about coming across like a bully as he prepares to debate Rep. Paul Ryan on Thursday.
Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm says Vice President Biden will play "more hardball" against Ryan, a 14-year House veteran and the top Republican budget writer.
Vice presidential debates usually don't matter as much as presidential face-offs. But both parties say the stakes for Thursday's clash in Kentucky are higher because of President Barack Obama's lackluster performance in his debate last week against Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Romney's performance helped him cut into Obama's lead in key battleground states.

Green Coconut Curry with Chick Peas
Posted by Kristin Camplese on 04/25, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Curries fall into the category of totally flexible and easy and cheap weeknight meals. Lentils (or in this case, garbanzos) or Tofu are perfect for vegetarian options — but any kind of meat or seafood protein works equally well. Vegetables can be anything that you have on hand, provided that you have a nice amount of ginger and garlic. If you don't have coconut milk and Thai curry paste (which take you in the Thai Curry direction), you can go the Indian Curry route and use a good quality Indian/Madras curry powder and garam masala with some broth or water. Serve it over rice if you like — or without rice and thick like a stew, or thinned out as a soup.
Serves 4-6
1 1/2 cups dried chick peas (or 2-3 cans of chick peas)
2 small red onions
2 large sweet potatoes
1 cup of mushrooms
3 cups of shredded cabbage or spinach
4 cloves garlic
2 inch piece of fresh ginger
Zest and juice of one lime (plus additional wedges for serving)
1/2 t salt
1/2 t white pepper
1/2 t cumin
1/2 t coriander
15 ounce can of unsweetened coconut milk
1 T soy sauce or fish sauce
1 cup, plus 3 T fresh cilantro (packed)
1/4 cup of unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds (or other nuts/seeds)
Olive oil
If using dried chick peas, rinse them and place in a medium sauce pan or stock pot. Cover with plenty of water, bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 60-90 minutes until tender. (You can also do a long soak method or skip this step if using canned.)
Make Green Curry Paste by roughly chopping garlic and ginger. Put in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add zest and juice of lime, salt, white pepper, cumin, coriander, 2 T of the coconut milk, soy or fish sauce, and 1 cup of the fresh cilantro. Process until very smooth and set aside.
Peel and chop the onions. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into approximately 1/2 inch cubes. Stem and slice the mushrooms. Shred the cabbage or spinach.
When chick peas are done (or whenever if they are canned), strain them and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a stock pot, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onion for 3-5 minutes. Add sweet potato cubes, chick peas, and all of the Green Curry Paste you made previously. Stir in remainder of coconut milk from the can, plus about 3/4 cup of water. Cover and cook about 20 minutes over medium low heat until everything is tender.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the pumpkin seeds and place on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes. With about five minutes remaining, add the coconut and toast both pumpkin seeds and coconut until golden. (Watch the coconut especially so it doesn't burn.) Remove and set aside.
When the curry mixture is basically done, add in sliced mushrooms, shredded cabbage or spinach, and about 3/4 cup of additional water (less if you don't want as much "broth"). Let cook, uncovered, for another 5-10 minutes until everything is tender and the sauce is reduced a bit. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper and feel free to season with chiles to make it spicier.
Serve in large bowls (over rice if you like) with additional chopped cilantro, wedges of lime, and the toasted coconut/pumpkin seed mixture sprinkled on top.

THis is where You Tell Your Story about Your Revolution; About Your Small Business, And your journey towards Working Independently. Got a Story? Email Me HERE
"My husband and I were listening to 'Austin Hill's Big World of Small Business' when Austin talked about the concept of 'crowd funding' as a means of financing both for-profit and non-profit business ventures. Through Austin's clear presentation on his show, we were able to share his excellent suggestions on crowd funding with our daughter. The country of France required proof of four months' living expenses before our daughter's visa could be granted for her art residency. She set up her own crowd funding initiative, and raised double the amount of funding she was asking for. Her dream to become an artist in residence in Paris became a reality! Thank you Austin!"
Joan K., Meridian, Idaho
"I was looking for ways to deepen client relationships in my financial services business. Austin pointed out some creative ways that I could attract new clients and build on existing client relationships, by providing information that could enhance people's lives outside of the services that I offer. This led to an open door with a major client for more opportunities to do business with him and his wife, after they attended my newly created "decorating and finance" seminar."- Thank you Austin, for the suggestions."
Mike D., Chicago, IL
"I began listening to 'Austin Hill's Big World of Small Business" because a friend of mine suggested it. The first show that I heard, Austin was explaining how to use social media to build business activity. He also explained why a stand-alone, individual website is important for businesses as well, and how social media and our own individual websites can work together to bring us new clients, and to help serve them better. I followed his suggestions on setting up my own website for free, started driving traffic to it with Facebook, and now I'm connecting with more and more new customers every week."
Taylor Richardson, North Las Vegas, NV
"For some time now, I've been promoting your show to high school and college students because the principles you teach about the attributes that qualify a company to uniquely fill a particular need, are basically the same for helping people learn how to promote themselves when completing a job resume'. Now I find myself doing something I never imagined-- launching two small businesses! I'm starting a PR firm right now and expect to launch a small film production company this summer. I have extremely talented business partners for both and I'm encouraging them to listen to your show and visit your website so we can be more focused and expeditious in our endeavors. Thanks for a great show every week!"

The World Ends With You (DS, Released 2008)
Ahhh, this game. I love this game. The soundtrack. The story. The characters. The gameplay. Everything. The moment I had heard about this game, I had a feeling it was going to be good. I never knew it was going to be this good. A lengthy main story may be enough to make a good game, but there needs to be more than that to be one of my favorite games of all time. This is one of those games with more than just a main story. There are so many extras hidden away after you complete the game which makes this game more than worthwhile to play. I am in love with extra stuff in games. The more collectibles, the better. I encourage everyone to try this game if they have a DS.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Doctors are finding that placenta, or afterbirth, can provide a huge source of information about the mother and her new baby in the future, especially if there were any complications during the delivery. That's why researchers at Cornell Medical Center in New York are studying about 1,500 placentas every year.
Apparently, the placenta contains arteries and veins from both the mother and the baby and researchers are finding that the placenta can reveal changes and abnormalities that can point to underlying diseases like lupus, diabetes, and blood clotting disorders.
"It's important that they know that they have this and sometimes the first indication that they have this underlying disorder is an abnormal placenta", says Dr. Rebecca Baergen of Cornell Medical Center.
As for the baby, Dr. Baergen says that the placenta can provide a source of DNA, revealing potential genetic problems and growth issues as well as any inherited diseases that might have been passed on from the mother.

Seed exchange helps Flag gardening "grow"
Last Friday, downtown Flagstaff showed a "seedier" side — pumpkin, squash and corn seed, to be exact.
At several tables inside the local restaurant The Seasoned Kitchen, students, faculty and members of the community held their annual "seed exchange," an opportunity for residents with a green thumb to exchange various germs and kernels and to talk about a subject often forgotten during a snowy Flagstaff winter: gardening.
The event was put on by Students for Sustainable Living and Urban Gardening (SSLUG). Joanna Hale, a community member and SSLUG gardener, said she would like to see more people involved in urban agriculture.
"Basically, what SSLUG does is try to educate people that you can actually grow food on the Colorado Plateau," Hale said. "So, we do a lot of education on what kind of seeds are good up here, ways to extend the season — because we have a very short growing season — ways to deal with pests, all that kind of thing."
Hale said calling the event a seed exchange is a bit of misnomer since it is more of a free-for-all, so long as participants do not abuse the privilege.
"We call it a seed exchange, but for the most part, it's very much buffet-style," Hale said. "So it's not necessarily that Josh has to negotiate with Amy and say, 'I'll trade you three squash seeds for a pepper [seed].' Really, everyone has just laid their seeds out on the table, and everyone has a little packet. There's an ethic that goes into a seed exchange: You don't take more than you can plant, and you don't take all of everything."
Patrick Pynes, a professor of applied indigenous studies, sustainable communities and environmental studies who described himself as a professional gardener and beekeeper, said the exchange of seeds can allow novice and experienced gardeners alike to acquire seeds adapted to dry and cold environments such as Flagstaff.
"This is such a hard place to grow things; it's so cold here," Pynes said. "So, we've got these locally adapted seeds that are really encoded to grow really well here. So we can really exchange all these locally adapted seeds through a seed exchange like this, and sort of spread out into the community what we do well here."
Seeds may be traded and knowledge might be dispersed, but in the end, Pynes said, such events are really about the gardening community coming together.
"Seed exchanging is all about building community through seeds and through meeting one another and learning what works here and what doesn't," Pynes said.
Hale said her organization has had annual exchanges for the past few springs, but this is the first year they have planned the event around downtown Flagstaff's First Friday Art Walk.
"This is the first time we've done it on a First Friday," Hale said. "It's been great so far."
Nina Porter, a sophomore chemistry education major, said she thought moving the event to coincide with the monthly festival helped the group get exposure.
"I think it's a great idea, first of all," Porter said. "It adds a whole 'nother dimension to the idea of the evolution of community within a city. They have a great turnout tonight. Sure, the Art Walk is helping out, but things look good — people are participating."
According to Hale and Pynes, participation — especially by university students — is a key goal of SSLUG. Hale said the group has already established a presence on south campus but has plans to expand.
"We have a garden on south campus, near the business building and the social and behavioral science buildings, and we're also expanding into north campus this upcoming season," Hale said.
Elaborating on Hale's words, Pynes said the north campus garden would be in front of and inside the atrium of the Applied Research and Development (ARD) building — an ideal location for a garden because of the large glass windows that reflect light to generate heat in front of the building.
"We're looking at other possible gardens on campus," Pynes said. "The first one we're working on right now is at the ARD building. So, we're working with a lot of other people; it's a fairly complex process that involves coming together and finding out what each of us is interested in with what we can do with the ARD."
Pynes said the northward expansion of campus gardens is the result of Green Fund monies, which will help pay for a specialist.
"So, we applied to the Green Fund to get funding for one year's salary for a campus organic garden. It was approved — took some time, but it was approved. So, SSLUG is going to hire that gardener … and that person is going to take care of the existing [south campus] SSLUG garden, as well as helping with the design and implementation of the garden at the ARD."
Yet, Pynes said the organization does not plan on stopping there, but instead plans on using NAU's other large glass-fronted structure — the Communication building overlooking First Amendment Plaza — to help heat a third garden, and possibly even an orchard.
"The other place we have been looking at is the Communication building," Pynes said. "We've been looking at that because it looks like a really nice, south-facing spot. We're thinking maybe we might even put a garden in there or even an urban mini-orchard, with apple trees and cherries and things like that. We're looking to expand what we already have."
Hale said she encourages students to get involved with SSLUG, and that the group is doing all it can to make gardening fun and accessible for students.
"People can come and garden with us, and we take care of it," Hale said. "People are done: They do their final exams in the spring, and then they go home. We take care of the garden in the summer, and when they come back they can help with harvesting and all that. It's a great opportunity."

Smart Solutions to Climate Change: Comparing Costs and Benefitsby Bjorn Lomborg
Synopses & Reviews
Watch Bjorn Lomborg on how Al Gore oversold the message on climate change and how we should be spending more on alternative energy research: The failure of the Copenhagen climate conference in December 2009 revealed major flaws in the way the world's policy makers have attempted to prevent dangerous levels of increases in global temperatures. The expert authors in this specially commissioned collection focus on the likely costs and benefits of a very wide range of policy options, including geo-engineering, mitigation of CO2, methane and black carbon', expanding forest, research and development of low-carbon energy and encouraging green technology transfer. For each policy, authors outline all of the costs, benefits and likely outcomes, in fully referenced, clearly presented chapters accompanied by shorter, critical alternative perspectives. To further stimulate debate, a panel of economists, including three Nobel laureates, evaluate and rank the attractiveness of the policies. This authoritative and thought-provoking book will challenge readers to form their own conclusions about the best ways to respond to global warming.
Bjorn Lomborg challenges world-class economists to describe the costs and benefits of a range of policies to combat global warming.

Memorial Day: Behind its meaning and traditions
Decoration Day
Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day, as its purpose was to visit cemeteries and place flowers on the graves of soldiers who had died in the Civil War. In 1882, people started calling it "Memorial Day," and by the time World Wars I and II had ended, it had evolved into a day to honor all fallen military men and women, no matter what war they fought in.
Day of observation
Memorial Day started shortly after the Civil War and was observed on May 30 for almost a century. It was not until 1971 that Memorial Day became a federal holiday and was tied to the last Monday in May.
Official birthplace
Many communities claim to have created Memorial Day, but Waterloo, N.Y., which held its first celebrations of the day in 1866, was named the birthplace of the holiday by this important person.
In its 87th year, the Little Neck Douglastown Memorial Day Parade in Queens, N.Y., claims to be the largest Memorial Day parade in the nation, attracting an estimated 80,000-plus participants and spectators from across the tri-state area.
Search the U.S. Memorial Day Parade Directory to find an event near you.
Red poppies
After writing a poem about wearing a red poppy to honor the fallen, U.S. professor and humanitarian Moina Michael launched a tradition that would help raise funds for war widows and children who had lost a parent in service to the country.
Four years after Michael's death, this was issued to commemorate the humanitarian efforts of the "Poppy Lady."
Patriotic remembrances
On the Thursday before Memorial Day, more than 260,000 small American flags are placed exactly one boot length and center on the headstone at every gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery.
What is the story behind the "flags in" tradition?
A moment of silence
An observance on Memorial Day that honors America's fallen and families is the "National Moment of Remembrance," a minute of silence at 3 p.m. local time.
Here's how you can participate in the "National Moment of Remembrance" on Memorial Day.
Three-day holiday
Many Americans use the three-day holiday weekend for family gatherings or weekend getaways. You can also honor fallen heroes by volunteering at a veterans' cemetery.
Use the National Cemetery Administration website to find a volunteer opportunity near you.
Famous quote
Who said this quote? "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

Update (Thursday, 11 a.m.): Cdr. Paul Sommer said the Anoka County Sheriff's Office lists the victim of the Aug. 19 shooting at the Hi Way House motel in Spring Lake Park as having no permanent address—not as a Fridley resident (see below).
Sommer said the victim "is in stable condition and will recover." (Hennepin County Medical Center said Thursday morning she has no information on the victim, according to a spokeswoman.)
Wednesday the Anoka County Attorney charged Pierre Tyshuan Henderson with two counts each of aiding and abetting attempted first-degree murder and one count of aiding and abetting second-degree assault.
As of Thursday morning, Henderson has not been arrested, according to Sommer.
Update (Thursday, 6 a.m.): The Anoka County Sheriff's Office said it is seeking a man who has now been charged in the Aug. 19 shooting at a motel on Country Road 10 in Spring Lake Park, just north of Fridley:

Brooklyn Park, MN 55444
Henderson has been charged with:

Assault in the First Degree
Assault in the Second Degree
Henderson remains at large. Anyone with information on Pierre Tyshuan Henderson's whereabouts are asked to call the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, Criminal Investigation Division at (763) 427-1212.
The sheriff's office had earlier Wednesday called Henderson a "person of interest."
According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Marcus Allen Wayne Hallmark of Fridley is the victim.
Original post (Wednesday, 1 p.m.): The Anoka County Sheriff's Office is seeking two people as "persons of interest" in an , 1626 County Rd. 10, Spring Lake Park, according to Cdr. Paul Sommer.
The two are: Pierre Tyshuan Henderson, a 19-year-old black male, 5'7" 175 lbs., with short black hair, pierced ears and a tattooed neck; and Derrick Dengalo Catchings, a 15-year-old black male, who has a medium build and "Derrick" tattooed on his forearm.
The sheriff's office believes both are from the Brooklyn Park area.
If you have information about the whereabouts of these two persons, the sheriff's office asks that you contact the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, Criminal Investigation Division at (763) 427-1212.
Fridley Police assisted Aug. 19 with the crime-scene perimeter and evacuating the motel, according to Fridley Police Sgt. Rick Crestik.

When I was young I loved Christmas as much as any kid. Yet when I would hear about the tradition of St. Nicholas Day a little part of me wished that like the children in Northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands, I could place my little shoes outside my bedroom door waiting to be filled to overflowing with goodies.
While my own Christmas celebration reaped far more gifts than could ever fit in a shoe there was just something about their tradition that intrigued me. Each December 6th, the feast day of the Saint of Children, I imagined putting my shoes for St. Nick. I never dreamed that I was putting out regular old shoes but rather a pair of perfectly painted wooden shoes.
From the time I first heard the story about a Dutch boy who saves his country by putting his finger in a leaking dike, I have had a fascination with the Netherlands, windmills, and wooden shoes. This holiday played right into my little fantasy of what life must be like for the young girls that wear those unusual shoes.
In much the same way our Santa Claus visits our homes during the night, St. Nicholas along with Zwarte Piet, who is roughly that equivalent of one of Santa's elves make an annual visit to fill children's shoes with gold coins, candy canes, tangerines, and cookies. They also leave a pebble or piece of coal along with the treats as a reminder to each child that no one is perfect.
Even in my imagination I had anticipated the excitement as I set my shoes neatly by the door. I could already hear my feet click-click-clicking as I danced in delight over the stash of goodies I had received from this stately bishop in a red cloak and miter.
In hindsight, I'm sure my parents would have been clicking up their heels at only having to buy enough gifts to fill six little pairs of shoes rather than the mountain of gifts that always landed beneath the Christmas tree of our large family. As a parent now myself I'm still fantasizing about St. Nicholas Day but let's just say that the wooden shoe is now on the other foot.
Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Any Animal That Touches This Lethal Lake Turns to Stone
There's a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret—it turns any animal it touches to stone. The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, but the petrified creatures it leaves behind are straight out of a horror film.
Photographed by Nick Brandt in his new book, Across the Ravaged Land, petrified creatures pepper the area around the lake due to its constant pH of 9 to 10.5—an extremely basic alkalinity that preserves these creatures for eternity.

Tech Crush Thursday: Elon Musk
This week's tech crush, Elon Musk, likes to think big.
This South African-born genius taught himself how to program a computer at the age of 10. He studied Business and Physics at the University of Pennsylvania and then went on to study Applied Physics and Materials Science at Stanford.
From there, he entered into entrepreneurship, co-founding X.com, a financial and e-mail payment service. That eventually evolved into the widely used PayPal, which was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002.
In 2002, Musk founded another company, SpaceX, which develops and manufactures space launch vehicles. One of Musk's biggest goals is to help advance the technology of rocket science. Musk is also co-founder and head product designer at Tesla Motors. He was one of the designers of the first fully electric sports car, the Tesla Roadster.
Since an early age, Musk has dreamed about getting into three areas—"important problems that would most affect the future of humanity," as he said later—"one was the Internet, one was clean energy, and one was space."
He has done exactly that! To boot, he's a dad to triplets!
That's one busy man… and an obvious TWF tech crush.

Problems with Rawhide VM on CentOS 6.2 Tim Niemueller Sun Apr 01 12:00:16 2012
Hi all. To test our robot software against the newest and shiniest compilers and libs we have a rawhide VM. Today I noticed a very annoying problem (after not using the VM for a while), but I'm not sure if it's on our side or if I should file a bug. The VM is frequently unable to access its root partition (using virtio for this VM). SSH connection end with "broken pipe", if locally on the machine trying to execute "dmesg" it only says "cannot find /bin/dmesg". In the time when the error appears until I loose the connection was once able to do "cat /proc/kmsg" showing errors on /dev/vda. In the libvirt log on the host (CentOS 6.2 using libvirtd and virt-manager) I see the following entries popping up in these situations: block I/O error in device 'drive-virtio-disk0': Permission denied (13) SELinux' audit.log is quiet. And the VM runs, and sometimes I can work on it for 30mins straight, sometimes not even for 30secs. Any idea what might be causing this intermittent problem? During investigation I noticed that the very same message appears every now and then in other VM's logs as well. They are running CentOS 6.2, and one is FreeBSD 9.0. But in those I do not see the broken connection or "cannot find file" problems. The VM's disks are logical volumes in the same volume group. The machine is a Dual Xeon Quad-Core with a speedy RAID array hosting the VG. Does someone have a similar problem, or can give ideas how to fix or investigate, and if to file a bug, which component to target? I'm not even sure if it's a CentOS or a rawhide thing, though I assume the latter...

Doing things my way is the right thing to do. The world would be so much simpler for everyone if it went that same way, but Honda has finally seen the error of its ways and has changed in response to my complaining (and others as well, I imagine). What was the problem? It boils down to a fundamentally simple thing. They didm't take the time to understand their user base at all. They invented this wonderful system to make life easier for people without actually considering the actual people. In the user experience and interface design world, this is what we harp about constantly – KNOW YOUR USERS. And it's a better way to design computer interfaces and a better way to design everything, including customer service initiatives.
Honda developed this wonderful simple maintenance minder system whereby the car gives you a telltale message when the car is scheduled for repairs. Now you don't need to think about what service needs to be performed when you hit 60,00o or 90,000 miles. The car will tell you. Wonderful idea, except for one thing,, they neglected to take people into account.
As I know all too well from my work designing user interfaces, people don't necessarily react like you want to things the way you want. Honda's system was predicated on people, all people, ignoring the maintenance of their cars until the car itself told them to do something. Every so often, the car dashboard would put up a wrench and a letter designator. The wench meant you needed service and the letter told you which one. "A" was go change the oil and get a basic $99 inspection of stuff. "B" was do that plus balance and align the tires and check the hepa filter; "C" added check the transmission and inspect the drive belts. And so on down the list. You never had to worry about what to do at which miles ever again. Except you did because the system failed its users.
And why didn't it work? People like me seem to think that cars are expensive (probably because they cost tens of thousands of dollars) and should be maintained to a higher than minimal standard. They've improved the efficiency of their engines to get nearly 40 miles a gallon and they've improved the reliability of modern cars to the point that the need for repairs is getting less and less. Cars are more reliable than they were when I got behind the wheel of that '65 289 Mustang for the first time. Back then you had to do regular maintenance or you'd ruin the engine.
I'm not waiting to change my oil every 10,000 miles. My experience says that if I change my oil more frequently than required (I.e., take better care of my car than they recommend) it will last much, much longer. When you add my care to the higher levels of quality found in cars, it usually means I'll grow tired of a car long before it wears out. When I had cars that recommended a change every 5,000 miles, I did mine at 3,500. So when I got the Fit even though it said I could go 10,000 miles between changes, I changed the oil every 7,500 miles like clockwork. And that's what I've continued to do every 7,500 miles.
Unfortunately, it's a pretty simple maintenance minder system and it's in general keyed to two cyclical patterns – the oil changes at 10,000 mile intervals and and aligning and balancing the tires at a 15,000 mile intervals. When they change my oil, they reset that little idiot light mechanism so it doesn't come on soon after I change the oil. Unfortunately, that's also the triggering mechanism for telling people like me about the other maintenance things. You'd think that if they think I need to have the belts checked at 60,000 and 90,000 miles they would just create an indicator that tells me that (or put the information in the manual where it used to be) but they didn't.
If I just ignored preventative maintenance I would have gotten the message when they wanted me to have it.
If they understood their users a little better they wouldn't have had to create a paper chart of when my car needs what. It wouldn't have been at all difficult to create an indicator that came on for oil changes at regular intervals and other maintenance issues, it's just a matter of timing. Why they would tie it to the same reset mechanism is poor engineering and poor customer service. I now know my car will need around $1,800 in repairs over the next 40,000 miles, though, now that they created that little paper chart for me today. If they hadn't created it, I'd still be in the dark. There's a hepa filter in the heating and air conditioning system that should have been changed five times before this – it's still untouched wherever it is.

Building a do-it-yourself (DIY) air compressor is a fairly straightforward project that just about anyone who is good with tools can complete, but there are some useful tips to keep in mind when building this type of device. The most important factor to remember when building a DIY air compressor is to choose a suitable pressure vessel to store the compressed air. This is important because a pressure unit might explode when overfilled, which can be very dangerous. The other main components required to build a DIY air compressor are a motor and a pump, although it is a good idea to include a manual switch, an automatic shutoff and a pressure gauge as well. Many components can be used for the motor and air pump in a DIY compressor, which should also be matched to the specific project to provide enough power and airflow.
The three main components necessary to put a DIY air compressor together are a motor, pump and air storage container. These components can be purchased new, although it might be possible to take them from other sources. The most important component is the storage container, because it needs to be able to withstand a specific amount of air pressure. Propane tanks, gas tanks and old fire extinguishers can all be used for the pressure vessel of a DIY air compressor, but it is important to choose one that is in good shape and is well suited the project.
Before starting a DIY air compressor project, it can be useful to determine the purposes for which the device will be used. If the necessary pressure levels and flow rates are known, then the best parts can be chosen. An air brush compressor typically needs about 80-100 pounds per square inch (550-690 kilopascals) of pressure to operate, and other types of compressors can have different specific requirements.
In addition to the pressure and volume that a tank can provide, the flow rate is another important factor. That means that it is necessary to choose both a pump and a motor that can provide the kind of air flow that the compressor needs. An old washing machine motor and an air conditioning compressor from a car can provide enough airflow for a compressor that is meant primarily to fill up car tires, although more powerful units typically are needed for heavier-duty applications.
There are other safety features that can be built into a DIY air compressor project as well. Pressure gauges are one option that can be very useful because they allow an operator to shut off a pump before the pressure level becomes dangerous. An automatic shutoff valve can make a DIY air compressor even safer to use, though, because this feature will turn off the pump as soon as a specific pressure level is reached. A check valve also can be installed to keep air from escaping back into the compressor from the tank, and an air filter can help prevent dirt and grit from damaging the components.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
