"The hotpot was lovely with a few options for your broth." in 2 reviews
"The choice was amazing and there was something to satisfy and cover all bases!" in 2 reviews
Ikkyusan is the perfect restaurant for those whose simply cannot decide what it is they are craving, or want to appeal to an entire groups tastes.
Consisting of Japanese, Tai and Dim Sum (can anyone say yummy Bubble Tea?). this fantastic all-in-one location boasts different chefs for their varied menu, which shows as every order was perfectly prepared/spiced.
The sushi chef was fantastic and the rice was perfectly cooked, the thai order was more than amazing and reminded me of home and the dim sum (again) was perfection.
Orders come to the table in no time, while the staff are on the ball with which orders are fresh or not available. The decor is calming and relaxed.
I will most definitely be coming back for more, as often as my wallet will allow me to eat out!
Chinese? Japanese? Thai? If you really can't make your mind up what genre of oriental food to eat in Chinatown, head for Ikkyusan. They literally do everything.
The most recent addition has been a hot pot restaurant upstairs so they cover all the bases now. This flexibility is nice if you have a group of friends who have different needs and tastes.
The food isn't bad but not up to the standard of the restaurants which serve just one genre of food. With so many new places opening at the moment, I rarely end up here.
A Japanese restaurant in China Town, um okay. As I'm a bit of a whore for sushi I'll have it any time, any day, any where... so yeah that's how we ended up at Ikkyusan.
Technically this place serves Japanese, Thai and Chinese, but we were only interested in sushi. This was fairly average, it didn't knock my socks off but it wasn't bad either. I can report the chicken satay was very tasty but the prawn and chive dumplings fell apart when I tried to pick them up. Once I reassembled them and shovelled them in my mouth, they were good too.
My only complaint was that the waitress lady was so slow in refilling my green tea, not great when you have eaten very salty but tender and gorgeous edamame.
You can find this gem on the typically inconsistent yet consistent Gerrard St. Inconsistent quality food and consistent high pricing that is.
But Ikkyusan bucks this trend. This decor of the place is tasteful and there is no grease on the wall and no pesky flies to be spotted which do hang out in some of the nearby establishments. Lovely staff too who seem to be proud that they don't work in the places suggested above.
Not sure what you want? Well this place is an indecisive persons nightmare. You can have Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, Bento, Sushi... you name it and your favourite asian dish is no doubt available. Gordon Ramsey would have a fit at the size of this menu.
It's usually quite busy in the evenings but if you're lucky you'll get one of their recessed seating booths. Although you do have to have at least some yoga skills to get into them, they're kinda cool and would impress mates and family alike.
I really like their pad thai and sushi platters.
The hotpot was lovely with a few options for your broth. The cooker is separated into 2 halves so you can enjoy 2 broths at the same time. Loads of options to choose from if you go for the buffet £25pp plus 10% service. Two of us we spent around 65 quids with 1 drink each. We didn't finish the standard 3 premium and 10 normal items.
Overall I had a good experience but it seems a bit pricey. Could have tried selecting the broths and a few menu items (not the buffet) coz my friend is not a big eater.
Blanket-Asian place - sushi, thai, dim sum, etc.
Ambience: sort of cool, but then tacky when you see the christmas lights hanging in the back during the summer.
Menu = Dictionary. The thing was so long I couldn't even flip through it all!
Service was okay.
Food: chicken teriyaki was fried and just not very good. Sushi was alright, just not very authentic (i.e. the sushi rice wasn't great). Dim sum wasn't really very good either.
None of the cuisines on the menu were really authentic, blech - I wanted Japanese food. Or at least good Chinese.
A veritable pot-pourri of Asian cuisine! I love sushi, I love dim sum, I can get both here at the same time!!!
I'm not going to say either are amazing quality but definitely good enough that if I want to combo size my asian selection and I'm in this area, definitely a spot to consider! Also not very expensive which is always nice :)
Ikkyusan is one of my favourite restaurants in Chinatown. This place is really peculiar as it serves Japanese, Thai and Chinese cuisine. As with most places in Chinatown, it's usually quite busy during the evening but I highly recommend you check this place out nevertheless.
I've been here on a number of occasions now. The first time I visited was with my boyfriend and the staff and food could not be better. The choice was amazing and there was something to satisfy and cover all bases!
The second time I arranged a trip for 12 of my friends to go here and we really had a brilliant time. All my friends thought the food was superb and the prices were super affordable too, we also had drinks and it was just such a great place for a relaxed meeting / group of friends. I couldn't sing this place enough praises.
Although not the nest asian food in London, you pay for what you get and I've never left unhappy. Despite the busy vibe, the service has always been quick and efficient. This place is brilliant.
The problem with China Town is that, as someone without any expertise in Oriental cusine, you can often end up in the not-so-good restaurants as you generally go for one which you like the look of.
Ikkyusan was recommended to us which made the whole choosing a restaurant experience much more pleasant.
It's on the main street in China Town, so very easy to find. We went in and there was a queue but we didn't wait long to be sat.
Inside the decor is very cool. Trendy and modern but with a definite Oriental inspiration. Also, it felt quite intimate and private because of the lighting and high plants creating seperate areas for different tables.
Having just been paid for a big job we splashed out and ordered the deluxe set menu which came in at £36 for two people.
It was lush. There was a seemingly unending stream of dishes. And they were all pretty delicious. Sushi and sashimi was brought out first, then tempura, then some fishcakes and samosa-y type things, then curry with rice.
Yum yum yum.
We then had desserts which were not amazing. Luke bizzarely opted for coconut jelly, which resembled a solid gelatin breast, and tasted pretty similar.
All in all though, a great place for trendy delicious food in China Town.
The sunken flooring upstairs is a challenge. The service is light, verging on non-existent.
But they have pretty much every single popular (and not so popular) oriental dish in existence. I had an excellent beef and foie gras fried rice dish and we shared the awesome sushi dragon roll.
Gerrard street is confusing at the best of times. There's lots of wandering about and uncertainty on whether your choice of establishment will actually be any good.
Ikkyusan was recommended, and it's as good as you're going to get here for the right blend of value and quality food. Just don't expect decent service and you won't be disappointed.
Despite having sunken tatami mat seating and an overall nice decor, the food is no longer as good as it used to be. The sushi do not seem as fresh, and the dim sum are overly padded with the casings. It seems to be pricier now as well, with mains going at 10 pounds. Drinks aren't cheap either at above 2 for a cup of coke.
The only reason I've gone back recently has been their sushi buffet, which is relatively good value at 15.50 pounds for unlimited sushi orders. Service is lousy when they are busy, and since they are almost always busy, well you get what I mean.
There's actually a new floor dedicated to shabu shabu apparently, but I've never tried it.
I went to Ikkyusan the other day after a great standup night near Piccadilly - it was freezing cold and we wanted something to warm our stomachs. Chinatown is quite often a good option if it's late and you want a quick bite to eat, it was 10pm on a Saturday night as you know the service will usually be quite fast.
Ikkyusan is a 3 storey restaurant in the middle of Gerrard Street. On the ground floor, they serve up traditional chinese food (possibly dim sum and maybe a bit of thai?). The first floor is done out in a japanese style with tatami (not sure if it's the real deal). You can eat japanese there, obviously. Finally, the third floor is where you go to for hotpot.
Hotpot - also known in japanese as shabu-shabu involves sitting around a pan of boiling soup stock and cooking your own dinner from a selection of raw meats, fish and vegetables. You throw everything into the soup and fish it out before chowing it down with a number of sauces they give you, including a home made chilli sauce. The meat is sliced very thinly, so it cooks very quickly. The soup can usually also be drunk, although it was somewhat flavourless this time for me.
Their ordering system always seems a bit complicated for me, as you can pick and mix the meat and soups so I usually go for the set meal at £18.80 per head. It sounds quite a lot, and it probably is, for Chinatown but you do get a LOT of food.
Service is variable. There was a huge party there on Saturday so the waiters were a bit rushed off their feet but they were polite enough.
For something slightly different - do check out the hotpot floor in Ikkyusan. I can't speak for the food on any of the other floors but I can definitely say I always walk out full and satisfied after hotpot.
I only go to this place for Shabu shabu, which is not that bad but not that good as well compare to what i have before. However, i think it's good enough for shabu shabu in London, which is hard to find. I would recommended for people who looking for something to warm you up during this coming winter. I guarantee that you won't regret.
Hmm, all these average reviews of this sushi joint surprise me. My experience at Ikkyusan, at least fodder-wise, has always been nothing less than a culinary love affair. By the way, Ikkyusan is really more of a pan-Asian restaurant (Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, etc.) which admittedly sounds ambitious but somehow works.
Ikkyusan is a heaven-sent for avid all-you-can-eat aficionados such as myself. As far as I'm concerned, where (authentic) sushi AND a buffet intersects, I'm in.
I would award this venerable (merely by merit of their having a sushi buffet) Chinatown institution full marks but like previous visitors can attest to, the service department leaves much to be desired. (Although in all fairness to the waitresses, a likely reason for their grim-facedness upon my arrival could be due to trepidation of the prospect of having to serve me and my hearty appetitemwahahaha.).
Nonetheless, enthusiastically recommend!
Went to this place with a friend last night before heading off to see a show.
The name of the restaurant is Japanese but the menu consists of an eclectic selection of Thai, Japanese and Chinese food.
Observing the dishes served at the other tables, the portions were quite generous.
I looked at the menu with the perception that it served mainly Japanese food and ordered pumpkin curry which said that it comes with dried shrimps. I had imagined a Japanese 'curry rice' so was slightly shocked when I was told to order rice separately. When it arrived, I didn't see any of the shrimps, not that I really missed them. The dish was very spicy and hot, and when I tasted the sauce, I realised I'd ordered from the Thai part of the menu.
My friend ordered Katsu-Don (pork cutlets on rice) from the Japanese selection, which had an exotic taste than what we're used to, but was still interesting.
If you want a quick, satisfying stomach filler for under a tenner (which means you order tea for the drinks), then I would recommend this place.
Besides the food, I noted that the floorboards were a little bit wonky. Whenever the staff passed behind my seat, the floor seemed to dip a little, which was a bit distracting.
While decent and not overly exciting tastewise, the place has a laid back and welcoming feel.
I am keen to go back there soon and try out its hot pot menu.
Good food at good prices

Los Angeles Lakers (25-28) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (38-17)
The Lakers are slumping hard this year and everyone in the world seems to be basking in their failure. NBA fans and writers threw a hissy fit when Dwight Howard was acquired for a box of crayon and a carton of strawberry flavored milk, but now that things are going so tremendously terrible for the Lakers, people seem to be justifying it as punishment for being greedy.
Los Angeles will figure it out, but that other team in L.A. is already pretty darn good and they'll be looking to knock the Lakers down another peg tonight. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are finally giving Clippers fans a team that's better than the Lakers and the partying is just beginning. If you think regular NBA fans who hate the Lakers are enjoying the reversal in fortunes for L.A's basketball community, just imagine what Clippers fans are feeling. The Lakers are running out of time to figure things out, but it's clear the Clippers already have the upper hand and they're going to try their hardest to keep the Lakers down on Thursday night.

[mochikit] doSimpleXMLHttpRequest, IE and non ascii characters Boštjan Jerko Mon Apr 27 01:14:18 2009
Hi! I am using MochiKit 1.4 and have a simple usage of doSimpleXMLHttpRequest: var handleServerFeedback = function(result) { log(d_querystring); } var handleServerError = function() { log("error"); } returnedServerValue = new doSimpleXMLHttpRequest("/ showContent/?f_name="+d_querystring); log(d_querystring); returnedServerValue .addCallbacks(handleServerFeedback,handleServerError); When I use the script on any browser it works perfectly, but when I set d_querystring with some non standard text characters or non ascii characters it doesn't work on Internet Explorer - it works in Firefox. I did a RSS reader and when I have a feed caled: Avian's Blog it doesn't work. Mind that there is a ` character in the name. The problem also appears when I use some Slovene characters (e.g. ccaron - č). Any ideas why is this happening?

Movie News
This Week's SATURDAY SHORTS Take a Walk on the SciFi Side.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, Muldoon here with this week's crop of awesome - a SciFi extravaganza of short films submitted by you, the readers of Ain't It Cool. This week's package includes a healthy serving of far out fantastical science fiction from all over, with budgets ranging from zilch to some with... well let's just say change must have been dropped. Regardless, they all contain a familiar thread, an escape from the mundane, an escape from the mediocre into a completely make believe world, and all roughly less than 20 minutes. I don't know of any other thing that can do that cars, trains... hell, even video games typically take a few hours, right? Okay maybe a space shuttle, but I digress.
Seriously, I hope you enjoy the films screening below - I do, but that's just my opinion. Because they were all user submitted, I hope we have some of the filmmakers in the audience and if so, please jump into the conversation in the Talk Backs below. On that same note, this is a "Troll Free Zone" and yes, I do realize how anti-AICN Talkbacks that sounds, but seriously folks - movies are difficult to make enough as it is regardless of budget, a well worded genuine critique is one thing, but an ignorant shouting off of the mouth/fingers(?) or surrounding a rushed paragraph with a sense of entitlement... If you find yourself writing things like "worst short film ever" or "___ just raped my eyes," you're gonna' have a bad time. Be excellent to one another.
Blah! Enough laying down of gutter bumpers in the bowling lane of internet blog culture - Let's check out some damn cool films and just have some fun!
Go grab yourself some popcorn, lock your kids in a closet, kill the lights, relax and check out this little weekly film fest we've got ourselves here:
Up first is filmmaker Aaron Kirk's smack to the face of traditional sci-fi, a film born out of his "love for THE TWILIGHT ZONE." It shows, and then some. "Dirge is a sci-fi short about a man, Rod, and his sentient, talking computer, Ray, that have been wandering a post-apocalyptic world since Rod was a boy. Dirge was shot in September of 2011 and was created as a part of the inaugural CELTX Seeds program and received a small grant and promotion by CELTX upon completion."
On to Sam Lemberg's short, CHAMELEON, essentially six minutes packed to the brim with a legit heaviness that relies quite heavily on actors, not necessarily outlandish visuals. I really dug this one.
A hostile race of aliens has invaded Earth and the government fears that the aliens are modifying their DNA to pose as humans. When a military officer abducted months ago mysteriously reappears, his wife is called in to ask him questions only she would know to find out who or what he really is. Starring James C. Burns (Call of Duty: Black Ops). Based on a story by science fiction author Colin Harvey.
Follow the film's Twitter: @ahernand.
While I normally try to steer clear of screening webisodes (I just like being able to start and complete a story in one go for this column especially), this one's got me wanting more. It's a classic case of wanting to tell a massive story, but having to be stylistically creative in a way to make it happen - not waiting around for the money fairies to bless you with that perfect budget.
Set in the year 2064, AIDAN 5 chronicles the journey of one detective who must unravel the mystery behind the serial killings of his own clones. Originally a 48-hour film short, this pilot episode is part of a critically acclaimed web series told through a unique style of film-making and hand sketched art. It has been hailed as a "living comic book."
The ability to control time, who wants it? Everybody. Director Mike Pappa knocks it out of the park (I always hate reading that in reviews, but it's damn true in this case). Seriously I love everything about this short from the lead's performance to the prodcution design and even to the sound design. Good stuff here that touches on greed and regret - feeling the need to change.
"When a watch repair man acquires an antique pocket watch that can control time, he decides to use it to achieve his dreams. His plans soon become sinister when he learns he isn't the only one with the knowledge of the pocket watch."
Check out Mike Pappa's site HERE or the film's site HERE.
BAM! So that's it, a lovely last film to go out with on a high note. The houselights are coming on, we need to clean the theater to prep the next screening, so folks - get one. "Hold on now," you say? More shorts? You're thirst for kickass shorts still holds strong? It's cool, I've got you covered - Click any of the links below to be taken to all sorts of worlds - horror - comedy - action... We've got it all in the links below:
If you have a short and think it belongs here or are on the fence about whether to send it in, please do send it in - I'd love to see what you've put together. I've already seen hundreds of fresh new filmmakers' shorts and like any good addict, I need more!
Shoot me an email at "firstname.lastname@example.com"
In the subject line include:
"SHORTS" + "Your film's name" + "The film's genre"
Then, in the body of the email, please include a synopsis of the film and any contact information you might think I need or would want published.
Please don't feel the need to submit multiple times. I swear to each of you I truly check every email I get, and sending the same short a few times just makes it a bit messier.
Remember, the filmmakers might still be in the audience, so feel free to share your thoughts in Talkbacks below. (JUST DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE). I picked them, so you know I think highly of all of these, but how about you fine folks? How'd you like 'em?

SciFi !!!!
by Industrious Angel
yeah yeah yeah and thanks again :) "Dirge" was ok; style and focus were all over the map so I guess this was more experiment than "real" film but it had a fitting mood. I liked how Ray's voice was always doing little melodies like in a liturgy. "Chameleon" was very efficient, but the ending was much too gimmicky. The setup was very atmospheric and there was chemistry between the actors so why go for the gimmick? Take the material and expand it into a real exploration of what makes us us! "Aidan5": The story is not altogether new, and I did not get the "2064" because it looked rather contemporary. Might make a good feature lenght film but it's hard to judge from these sketches. "Frankie": Now here's a real treat. My first thoughts about 2 minutes into it were: Why didn't they do this in stop motion? The sets and props look like stop motion, the theme exhales stop motion and the actor looks and moves like a puppet too. Why would anyone shoot a Wallace-and-Gromit episode in live action? On Mike Pappa's site i discovered he did some animation and stop motion work too and was not surprised. Still, the question remains why he went that way for Frankie - just artistic or creative finger exercises? The result is unique but also a bit uneven. The timeline was a bit confusing (as befits a timetravel-story), the setup and idea are enough for a feature lenght film. Hire Schwarzenegger as the watchmaker, he's real good in silent roles but you might need a bigger watch :)

We loved Dirge when Aaron presented it to us. Combined with his previous films, we wanted to invest in both him and his story. When an underdog as polished as him comes to our door, we put on our best bib 'n' tucker.

SATURDAY SHORTS — aka — Enterprising spirit!
by justmyluck
DIRGE A BOY AND HIS DOG meets CAST AWAY. Despite limited resources, director plays his A-Game with cinematography, sound, montage and — the interactive hodge-podge *Wilson* — RAY. Good example of how brief clips can suggest more than full-on scenes of post-apocalyptic mayhem. Acting and writing held interest throughout. Liked the very subtle blinking red light in one B&W flashback, suggesting everything here could be the computer's memory. CHAMELEON Again, shows what can be done with limited resources, some expository dialog and a room. Camera and scene blocking were strong, and one of the few short films I've seen adapted a source short story. Definitely should have ended with the captured *wife*, leaving the rest to the imagination, since *alien* VFX suggest this was trying to be bigger than its britches. Nevertheless, this was smartly brief and to the point. AIDAN 5 BLADE RUNNER meets SIN CITY. Use of charcoal illustrations ups the *Noir* quotient, and lead actor played against his twinning well. I watched a few later episodes to see where this was going, and the overall project is more elaborate than this pilot implies. The dancing chroma key artifacts are a big distraction to all performances here - which seems to have been cleared up in later episodes. As a standalone piece, the pilot handles its framing, exposition and closing twist adroitly. FRANKIE Cinematography, lighting, art direction and props seemed to perfectly capture what was going on in the director's mind and, as a silent, this played wonderfully. Pacing here and there felt a bit drawn-out, but I think that was the point; recalling what Rod Taylor said in THE TIME MACHINE, *When it comes to time, we are prisoners*. This was superb. Overall this week = That was free??...what a deal!

I may be telling people about that comment for the rest of my life when I talk about Dirge. Pretty funny, man.
June 2, 2012, 3:59 p.m. CST
Actually that comment is so good
by gotilk
it requires a version where instead of Ray humming the tune he does, he sings... *do you be-e-elieve in life after love*

You know, A Boy and His Dog comes up a lot. I haven't seen it yet. I really should. Thanks for the mini review, do you have any sort of blog or anything because all four of your write ups were great. A well thought out, examination by a student of film- heck, I'd look forward to a bad review from someone like that...sorta

A Boy and his Dog?
by DrMorbius
The one with Don Johnson and Blood? The premise not totally dissimilar, but doesn't match the 'climax'(so to speak) of the film. A well executed exercise in it's own right. To quote a certain myopic cartoon character, *Oh Muldoon ... you've done it again*

Don't know how closely the movie follows the book, or not ... My 'climax' quip was in reference to the end of the movie. Haven't seen in years ...

by justmyluck
As written, A BOY AND HIS DOG starts off with a dude and a witty/savvy dog chatting (by telepathy) while roaming a post apocalyptic landscape for food & shelter, which is why the filmmaker is hearing it mentioned. While the dude needs the dog to survive, and the dog almost dies at the end, DIRGE didn't need a matching finale to register.

I loved the three first entries, but the fourth for some reason Hulu didn't work on my laptop. Dirge was great for the atmosphere. I really like dystopia future films for whatever reason. Chameleon was fun, also very good acting/direction. Aidan 5... Just amazing! Thank you again.

This didn't engage me. Maybe it was the wall-to-wall Grand Guignol scoring. Or that I've read Poe's "The TELL-Tale Heart*. I've honestly never understand adults who yell at each other (unless they're actors in a Paul Thomas Anderson movie). Or use a hammer to solve a relationship problem (unless the relationship is a break-and-entry). Or that when someone tells you've they've killed someone, they've just announced the capacity to kill you too and it's time to make a call. Otherwise, direction, camera, action and editing were clear, and the zinger at 13:05 was a good one.

re:"why he went that way for Frankie - just artistic or creative finger exercises?" first off, thanks for the comment/critique. Much appreciated. I especially like the comment "..actor looks and moves like a puppet..." never gotten that one before. But to answer your question- My intention was to get into live action by creating this short. However, I wanted to take advantage of my animation background/experience to create the characters, the time effects, some of the tone, and environments,etc. Above is a quick summary. If you are interested in hearing more, i recently did an interview on TWITCH. It goes into more detail. http://twitchfilm.com/interviews/2012/04/interview-writer-director-mike-pappa-talks-about-his-time-travel-short-frankie.php
June 4, 2012, 4:04 a.m. CST
by Industrious Angel
Thanks, interesting interview. Frankie really has a unique look - ok, it reminds me a bit of the early Caro sets, but still different - and i was curious why you went that way and how you reached it. btw, the stop-motion orrery did not look "off" to me at all, in fact it fit perfectly with the reminder of the film because everything had that stop-motion effect, as if it was kind of a miniature. So, as this was your first exploration of live action, it's clearly a winner. I hope you'll be able to walk the fine line between the artificial world of animation and the more emotionally loaded world of live action which has broader appeal - I'd sure love to see more movies with such interesting aesthetics!

Steam Locomotives
Over 30 locomotives are based at the KWVR. Most can be seen by visitors, but some are housed away from public view whilst under restoration for future use.
The Railway maintains a fleet of about 5 or 6 'working' steam locomotives, with a rolling programme of maintenance and overhauls for another 4 or 5 engines so that we can keep a steady fleet of working engines.
Others are stored at Oxenhope in our Exhibition Hall, which means that the general public can interact and view them and more importantly that they are kept under cover from the harshness of the weather that can so badly damage them.
A viewing gallery and picnic area overlooks the locomotive works at Haworth from where you may see more locomotives being restored or prepared for service.
The award-winning Museum of Rail Travel at Ingrow has a superb collection of historic vehicles and is open every day except Christmas Day. Free admission is available to KWVR Day Ticket holders. For more information on the museum - click here

Salem, Oregon - Youth hunters (age 17 and under) can now sign up for free upland bird hunts being planned at 11 locations across the state in September (Baker City, Central Point, Corvallis, Eugene, Irrigon/Umatilla, John Day, Klamath Falls, La Grande, Madras, Portland, The Dalles/Wamic).
ODFW and partners stock pheasants at these special hunts that give youth a head start on regular pheasant seasons, which don't begin until October. Quail and dove may also be hunted. Volunteers from Oregon Hunters Association and other sportsman groups often bring their trained hunting dogs to guide participants. Some events also begin with a shotgun skills clinic, so participants can practice clay target shooting before hunting.

Salem, Oregon - ODFW Outdoors is offering several small game and pheasant hunting workshops in January and February in Monmouth and Maupin.
These workshops are perfect for beginners because ODFW provides all the gear needed including shotguns, shells, eye protection, and hunter orange clothing. Each class begins with a basic hunter safety lesson and practice on the shotgun range. Then participants head into the field for a real hunt, guided by hunting dogs and their handlers. Finally, participants learn how to clean and prepare a bird, and go home with cooking tips and recipes.

Abandoned desks and cubicles decorated with phone directories, old programs, unclaimed trophies and souvenirs of cities that once welcomed them with open arms.

A few phone calls revealed that most have been there for a few days now. Some as long as two weeks. Sounds reasonable. After all, it takes a while to put together a proper Tactical Police Competition.

"His music speaks volumes, and I was able to experience that before everyone else knew," she says. "I always knew he was really special and I just wanted to see how we could vibe, what we could come up with together in the studio this time around. He's just a genius. I think his songs have so much substance and so much depth, and you need that on an album as well."

MSc Cyber Security students gain insight from global security business Secarma
Security Lancaster strengthened its relationship with Secarma, a security business specialising in rapid business continuity and data recovery solutions, by inviting Stuart Coulson, Head of Sales, to be a guest lecturer for MSc Cyber Security students.
Covering hot security topics including "bring your own device" "cloud security" and "securing the supply chain" Stuart gave the students valuable insight into the commercial impact that security risks like these can have on businesses.
Not only was this a great opportunity for students on the course, it also developed the partnership between Secarma and Lancaster University, which was recently awarded an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research by GCHQ and the EPSRC
Stuart explained "Developing a partnership like this adds an extra facet to Secarma giving us access to the latest research and ensuring that we stay ahead of the latest cyber security trends."
Secarma also set a challenge for the MSc students - putting three Raspberry Pi micro-computers up for grabs to the students that deliver the most competent answers to the questions designed by Secarma in collaboration with the University lecturers.
Dr Daniel Prince, Associate Director for partnerships at Security Lancaster which brings together Lancaster University's research in cyber security, security futures, violence and society and investigative expertise said: "It was great to have Stuart here presenting to the students. His talk reinforced the material they have been learning on the module on information security systems management as part of their MSc in Cyber Security, by providing real world examples and grounding the students in the day to day realities of life in a high tech security company.
We believe that engagement from companies such as Secarma in the MSc is vital to the vitality and success of the programme and the company. By working together we can combine cutting edge education and innovative current business problems in order to develop the next generation of Cyber Security practitioners and leaders."
Working with cyber security business in this way is extremely important to ensure that our graduates leave university with a real understanding of the commercial impact of a cyber-attack.
The Faculty of Science and Technology now has its own dedicated Student Employability Manager in recently-appointed Pam Pickles. Pam commented "Experience working with employers and business to solve real-world problems is what makes graduates stand out to potential recruiters. Relationships such as this between the MSc in Cyber Security and Secarma enhance and develop the employability of our graduates and postgraduates, so important in today's competitive job market."

NASA announced the smallest exoplanet yet discovered, at just 1.4-times the size of Earth. According to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, that brings the total number of exoplanets discovered to 500.
In south Sudan, the vote for independence continues into its third day, despite a new attack on prospective voters. 10 died and the entire caravan of voters was forced to turn back.
Many new galaxy clusters have been discovered, each cluster with up to 100 galaxies, each galaxy with a billion stars.
As Cosmic Vinegar takes its first steps into the world, certain editorial questions arise, in terms of direction and content. The news stories above indicate the general composure ofthe magazine ; a focus on science and a focus on human rights / sociopolitical issues.
One of the first questions that comes to mind is: How much information do I provide? Take the Sudan news story. The south Sudanese interior minister claimed that the attack was conducted by the Missiria tribe, a portion of the Baggara Arab people. They have been involved in territorial disputes over the Abyei region of Sudan, which have been exacerbated by both the recent civil wars and the impending secession. The Dinka tribe settled in the region, yet allowed Missiria to annually drive cattle in to graze. Now the Dinka are considering joining south Sudan while Missiria are well entrenched in the north. The grazing land is presumably of vital importance to their cattle and way of life. The attack, if conducted by Missiria, is possibly their method of protest.
Now, we can firmly come down on the fact that this violence (terrorism, I would say, as there is a relatively clear political goal of stifling votes on independence) is wrong & a human rights violation. Yet I can't help but feel that this is armchair analysis; north Sudan is not being polled on how they feel about secession, so in effect the political process is marginalizing them. How do you make your voice heard when the system isn't taking you into account? In many, many cases, people resort to violence.
I don't support violence. It stunts dialogue to the point where you don't have to listen to anyone you think is wrong: You can just kill them or brutalize them into silence. Violence limits understanding, sunders sympathy, disfigures societies. This is the only argument I feel comfortable making. Still, there are some tribal groups in Sudan being marginalized by the secession process. Their government should probably do a better job of allaying their fears, but even that may not help, because the problem isn't fear but practicality: they're losing traditional grazing land to a new country.
I can console myself with the knowledge that this is an issue many people and institutions are struggling to confront.
This has been example by way of explanation. I have few answers–in fact, it may be fair to say I have no answers. It's often difficult to figure out who's right in a given sociopolitical context when the events are occurring many miles away; and perhaps due to differing cultural traditions, it may be impossible.
Back in an editorial frame of mind, I don't know how much information to provide on these issues in (what will be the eventual print version of) Cosmic Vinegar. The original idea was to publish simple news blurbs as I have them above; but as my example proves, the issue is more opaque than mere retributive violence. I have two options, as I see it:
- Concise, 1 or 2 sentences reporting merely the facts, with references to news articles.
- A brief paragraph explaining the facts and immediate information, demonstrated in the second narrative paragraph, above.
The pure editor in me says option 1, but the writer in me who wants to study these issues in depth says option 2. The editor says–you cannot fully understand these issues, and to pretend to do so in a short paragraph would do disservice to local politics. The writer says–1 sentence misconstrues the events even more. At least with the paragraph, shades of grey are available. I think the writer in me wins today, butas with all things Cosmic Vinegar, this will be an ongoing debate.

Very Pretty Dress but Larger Sizing
By TSC Shopper
from Victoria (BC)
I received this dress in the black/multi color size large along with a number of other Lennie items in size large.PROS: lovely fabric pattern colors, great style, lightweight.CONS: Sizing is larger than other size large items in the collection. This dress was too big all over, even the D ring ties were down low close to hip level rather than higher waist level as shown on TSC. Front vertical facing on wrap portion flopping out to expose itself on the outside of the dress. Perhaps facing should have been tacked down to the interior fabric to avoid this problem.For these reasons I had to return the dress.It's a very pretty dress, I would suggest sizing down by a size.I am 5'3" tall, 38D bust and all the other items I ordered in size large from the collection fit me very well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Intelligent Community Foundation has just opened its 2013 Intelligent Community Awards for nominations. This is the first step toward the Intelligent Community of the Year award, to be presented on June 7, 2013.
The awards program salutes the accomplishments of communities in developing inclusive prosperity on a foundation of information and communications technology. Nominations are encouraged from communities large and small, urban and rural, in developing and industrialized nations. The evaluation system compensates for population-related factors and lets the ICF compare large, midsize and small communities worldwide on a level playing field.
The 2013 theme is "Innovation and Employment." A special section of the questionnaire will examine how Intelligent Communities balance the positive and negative impacts of innovation, which both creates new employment and destroys jobs as it makes old processes obsolete. Look for the announcement later this month on the publication of an ICF white paper on Innovation and Employment.
The deadline for nominations is September 21, 2012. The award criteria and nomination form (consisting of just 6 questions) are available here. The ICF also invites communities to take our online self-test to get a feel for how they will be evaluated.
The ICF will announce the next Smart21 Communities of the Year in October at a ceremony in Riverside, California, USA, the 2012 Intelligent Community of the Year.
Disclaimer: I serve as a juror for the awards evaluation.

CNBC reports on a UNESCO Broadband Commission report that says every 10 percent increase in the availability of broadband will add 1.3% to economic growth. Don't think that sounds like much? Run that compounded growth out over ten years, and communities with widespread availability of affordable, high performance broadband are going to be enjoying double digit economic performance compared to communities that sat back and waited for the incumbents to deliver their anemic, overpriced offerings.

Danville's keen focus on a comprehensive plan to revitalize the downtown area started with creation of a City-owned open access fiber network five years ago. Downtown Danville continues to attract new development; the City just announced a $14 million redevelopment of a historic building that will bring 40+ jobs into the historic River District area of Danville, close to Main Street, shopping, and the Dan River.

The Virginia state legislature has passed bills providing new incentives to locate data centers in Virginia. The rapid adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud-based data and services is creating demand for places to put all the data. And with data centers, there are jobs:
"With his signature on this legislation, Governor McDonnell has further positioned Loudoun County as a world class location for the data center industry's leading operators," Loudoun County Chamber President & CEO Tony Howard said. "The Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce fought hard for this legislation because it will provide our County a powerful new competitive advantage that can be used to generate significant new commercial investments and create many new high-paying jobs that will be needed to build, service and operate these high tech data centers.

Here is a brief video produced by Alcatel-Lucent on Chattanooga's fiber initiative. One of the people interviewed is a venture capitalist who has settled in Chattanooga, which is worthy of some notice--lack of capital is one of the biggest problems that many regions face when trying to jump start economic development. Most new jobs are created by small business START UPS, not existing small businesses, and start up businesses need angel and VC capital to create those jobs.

Via MuniNetworks, some Georgia legislators are getting substantial campaign contributions from the incumbent telephone and cable providers to pass a law making it illegal for communities to create competitive broadband infrastructure. The big win in North Carolina last year, where the legislature did pass such a law, has spurred similar efforts in Georgia and South Carolina.

Business Insider lists the Roanoke, Virginia area as one of twenty smaller areas of the country that could become a high tech "Silicon Valley" type of region. The factors used to create the list are instructive:
The Roanoke-Blacksburg region has the best fit on the fourth item, with Virginia Tech as a powerhouse for engineering and computer science, and many other good schools like Roanoke College, Radford University, and Hollins College, along with two community colleges with strong technology programs.
Note that the first item listed is broadband access. While the Roanoke region has moderately good availability, choice is limited and prices are high due to lack of competition. So how does one of the listed regions break out and surge ahead, given that all of them already have met the article's minimum qualifications? Here's my list:
How does your region compare to this list of twenty? What would it take to get onto the list? What would it take to break out?

Danville, Virginia is a Smart21 Intelligent Community for 2012. The Intelligent Community Forum announced the top 21 communities this week, and next year seven of those communities will be selected for the Smart7 category. Design Nine has been assisting Danville with the design and development of their City-owned open access fiber network since 2006. nDanville subscribers have access to 100 meg, Gigabit, and 10Gig transport and a choice of private sector services. nDanville is beginning construction of Fiber To The Home (FTTH), which will include a triple-play voice/TV/Internet offering.

If you look at the jobs report released today, it underscores what I have been saying for a decade: neighborhoods are the new business district. CNBC summarizes the September jobs data; the manufacturing sector LOST jobs, but if you go to the household survey, job creation was in the black (modestly).
What does this mean? It means more people are working from home, and that means they need business class broadband, not an "entertainment service," as my cable company quaintly calls our home Internet service.
Rinse and repeat as needed until elected officials get the message:
Neighborhoods are business districts, and business districts need competitive and affordable telecom service options.

Back in 2006, with the help of Design Nine, the City of Danville made the decision to open their city-owned fiber for commercial use. The first customers were connected in 2007. The self-funded project has grown slowly, has spent carefully, and manages more than one hundred and fifty miles of fiber with just two dedicated staff. The City had an early advantage because Danville is an electric city--they own many of the utility poles, and electric utility line crews have done much of the construction and maintenance work. Some specialized work, like fiber splicing, is still outsourced.
This article in Virginia Business highlights the slow but steady changes that the municipally-owned fiber have brought to the community.
nDanville's early focus has been on serving businesses, and every lot in all five business parks in the area are passed by nDanville fiber. Many other commercial areas of the City are also passed by nDanville fiber, and all the substations in the 500 square mile electric service area are managed with nDanville fiber. But the project has just announced their first fiber to the home initiative, starting with a 250 home pilot project.
The City of Danville, which once had the highest unemployment in Virginia, now looks like the best place for a technology business in the Commonwealth. What other Virginia community can offer:
City leaders have taken the slow and steady approach on a wide variety of economic revitalization initiatives, but it is fiber that has, quite literally, connected the dots for Danville.

Here is an article about the City of Danville open access network (called nDanville). nDanville started as an open access network in late 2007, so it is in its fourth year. It was the first municipal open access effort in the United States, and has been quietly cutting costs for Internet and VoIP phone service by as much 80% for businesses and institutions using providers on the nDanville fiber network. It has also been bringing jobs and businesses to the community. One of the major economic developments in which nDanville played a key role was the re-purposing of the "White Mill" building. Just a couple of blocks from downtown, the White Mill building was once one of the largest textile plants in the country. But it was closed years ago, and the multi-story building sat empty until it was purchased last year. It is undergoing a complete renovation as a high tech data center, and access to nDanville fiber was crucial to closing the deal. nDanville has also helped attract a specialty PC manufacturer to the community, and more broadly, just about every business using providers on the nDanville network have enjoyed substantially lower costs for VPNs, Internet access, and voice services. The local hospital recently switched to an IP TV provider on nDanville and is enjoying substantial monthly savings from the switch.
nDanville is operated with a staff of two people as part of the City Utilities department. All services to businesses and residents are provided by private sector providers that use nDanville to transport those services over a high performance active Ethernet fiber network. nDanville offers standard 100 megabit, Gigabit, and 10Gigabit connections. Design Nine provided the City with the original business, financial, and technical planning with the network, and continues to assist the City with the project.

The Daily Yonder has an excellent first person description of the awful state of "broadband" in rural Kentucky. Living just twenty minutes from the state capitol, Frank Povah is stuck with expensive, very slow satellite "little broadband." And as Povah rightly points out, no one seems to car--that is, no one that could have some positive effect on the problem.

WiredWest, the consortium of 47 towns in western Massachusetts that has been developing an ambitious plan to take fiber to every home and business that requests service in the WiredWest region, has released a powerful and superbly produced and edited video that makes a strong case that "little broadband" is not adequate today and will not be adequate in the future, and that the lack of big broadband is already affecting the region's ability to attract jobs and maintain adequate levels of economic growth. Watch the whole thing, and the entire North Carolina legislature should be locked in a room and made to watch it. Disclosure: WiredWest is a client of Design Nine.

Every economic developer in rural America should print out this article from Wired magazine. Read, highlight it, make paper copies, and distribute it to everyone they talk to, especially local elected leaders (who unfortunately, are probably not reading Wired in any form, paper or Web). Every region that thought they were going to win big on biotech ought to toss that old plan out in the trash and starting asking, "Do we have what we need to bring manufacturing back?"
It's not the big, old nineteen-sixties manufacturing that is coming back. It is the new, small, lean, technology-enabled start ups that are going to bring good paying manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. And they need a few things, with one of them being good, inexpensive broadband. Without it, they can't take orders, send out CAD drawings, upload CNC programs, provide customer support, and do everything else that broadband supports in the modern manufacturing business. Rural America has the best workers in the world, hands down. But without the infrastructure needed by these new companies, rural regions in the U.S. don't have a chance to play.

That quote is from Brian Depew with the Center for Rural Affairs, in Nebraska. The New York Times has an article today about how rural areas of the U.S. are being left behind with respect to broadband. Depew goes on to say:
"You often hear people talk about broadband from a business development perspective, but it's much more significant than that," Mr. Depew added. "This is about whether rural communities are going to participate in our democratic society. If you don't have effective broadband, you are cut out of things that are really core to who we are as a country."

Via Stop the Cap!, a bill has been introduced in the North Carolina legislature to make it extremely difficult for communities to invest in broadband infrastructure. The article is excellent, with a detailed analysis of the issues, so I'm not going to try to summarize it here--just read the whole thing.
The bill is sponsored by a Republican legislator, but the ability of communities to decide their own economic future should not be a partisan issue, and I think both parties have a faulty perspective. Democrats tend to be friendlier towards community broadband, but too often, Democratic proposals focus on more regulation, which often has the unintended consequence of making it more difficult to get local projects started. Republicans, while they ought to be supporting free markets and competition, too often listen only to the incumbents, and get sucked into supporting things like this new NC legislation, which looks more like crony capitalism than free markets.
Banning communities from investing in broadband would be like banning water and sewer. Water, sewer, and broadband are and have become basic economic development infrastructure, and putting roadblocks up that keeps communities from attracting new jobs and retaining existing businesses makes no sense.

The City of Chattanooga, Tennessee was recently selected by the Intelligent Community Forum as one of the Top 7 Intelligent Communities worldwide for 2011. This article by Robert Bell of ICF provides some of the back story and the amazing success of Chattanooga over the past couple of decades.
By the late sixties, Chattanooga, once a thriving manufacturing town, had the dirtiest air in America and was beginning to lose jobs. Despite heavy investments in urban renewal in the eighties and nineties, the city was not attracting jobs. But over the past ten years, as the City-owned electric utility began to invest in fiber, companies and jobs started to follow, and the pay off has been huge. Chattanooga won a Volkswagen manufacturing plant in part because of the city's investment in fiber. The city fiber is also being used to provide Smart Grid electric metering, which will lower utility costs for businesses and residents.

A welcome winter visitor, the whooper swan, is back on the Nakdong River Estuary.
About 5 days earlier than last year, two families of seven whooper swans each were reported roosting at the Nakdong River Estuary were October 19. Since then, the number of whooper swans observed increased to 35 on October 22, and to 55 on October 27.
More than 3,000 whooper swans migrate to the Nakdong River Estuary every year, but only about 800 whooper swans were seen last year due to a reduction in aquatic plants, the main food source of the whooper swan. A great deal of precipitation this spring lowered the salinity of the brackish water and the aquatic plant community has recovered as usual therefore this year large numbers of whooper swans are expected to spend the winter in Busan.
At the southern end of Eulsukdo Island, the trail was extended in length to minimize the stress experienced by whooper swans when in close proximity to the tourists, and to allow tourists more locations to observe them closely. Visitors can experience feeding them sweet potato slices as well.
The whooper swan is a large white swan measuring 140–160 centimeters in length. A rare bird, only about 170,000 whooper swans remain in the world and so in Korea they are protected as designated natural monuments.
Whooper swans fly to Korea for the winter and return to the Siberian wetlands in early March. In Korea, they mainly pass the winter months at Upo Swamp, Junam Reservoir, and Yeongam Lake.
A city official said, "The color of the whooper swans' feathers shows that they are in good health. We are expecting a large numbers of whooper swans here in Busan this year compared with last year."
