Numeric Colums For Latitude / Longitude In Rails 1.2 Migrations
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
In Rails 1.1.6, "numeric" datatypes didn't work in migrations. This confused a lot of people who wanted to store geographic data (latitude and longitude) for use in Google Maps and the like. Floats worked, but their precision is limited -- you'll lose three or more decimal places of precision if you store the results of a typical geocoding call in a Float column. And don't even think about using strings to store your latitudes/longitudes.
Fortunately, the numeric datatype problem is fixed in Rails 1.2, and you can now have do this in your migrations:
class CreatePlaces < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :places do |t|
t.column "lat", :decimal, :precision => 15, :scale => 10
t.column "lng", :decimal, :precision => 15, :scale => 10
def self.down
drop_table :places
FYI, if you're stuck on Rails 1.1.6, you can use this approach:
class CreatePlaces < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :places do |t|
t.column :lat, :float
t.column :lng, :float
execute("ALTER TABLE places MODIFY lat numeric(15,10);")
execute("ALTER TABLE places MODIFY lng numeric(15,10);")
def self.down
drop_table :places
... but that's ugly, database-specific (works on MySQL), and not very DRY.

J. Scott Applewhite, File, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The State Department has endorsed the broad conclusions of a harshly critical Senate report on the CIA's interrogation and detention practices after the 9/11 attacks, a report that accuses the agency of brutally treating terror suspects and misleading Congress, according to a White House document.
"This report tells a story of which no American is proud," says the four-page White House document, which contains the State Department's preliminary proposed talking points in response to the classified Senate report, a summary of which is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
"But it is also part of another story of which we can be proud," adds the document, which was circulating this week among White House officials and which the White House accidentally emailed to an Associated Press reporter. "America's democratic system worked just as it was designed to work in bringing an end to actions inconsistent with our democratic values."
It's not clear who wrote the document or how influential it will be in tailoring the Obama administration's ultimate response to an investigation that has been the subject of bitter disputes. It is common practice for the White House to solicit talking points from key agencies involved in responding to a major news event, which the release of the Senate report will be.
The Senate report concludes that CIA's techniques on al-Qaida detainees captured after the 2001 attacks were far more brutal than previously understood. The tactics failed to produce life-saving intelligence, the report asserts, and the CIA misled Congress and the Justice Department about the interrogation program.
Current and former CIA officials hotly dispute those findings, as do some Senate Republicans. The fight over the report has poisoned the relationship between the CIA and Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and left the White House in a delicate position. President Barack Obama has branded some CIA techniques torture and ordered them stopped, but he also relies heavily on the spy agency, which still employs hundreds of people who were involved in some way in the interrogation program.
The report does not draw the legal conclusion that the CIA's actions constituted torture, though it makes clear that in some cases they amounted to torture by a common definition, two people who have read the report said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the still-classified document publicly by name.
The Senate report, the State Department proposes to say, "leaves no doubt that the methods used to extract information from some terrorist suspects caused profound pain, suffering and humiliation. It also leaves no doubt that the harm caused by the use of these techniques outweighed any potential benefit."
Those methods included slapping, humiliation, exposure to cold, sleep deprivation and the near-drowning technique known as waterboarding.
The White House document is significant because it also reveals some of the State Department's concerns about how the CIA's tactics will be portrayed around the world.
The document lists a series of questions that appear to be designed to gauge what reporters, members of Congress and others might ask about the Obama administration's response to the Senate report. The document focuses in particular on the State Department's role.
"Doesn't the report make clear that at least some who authorized or participated in the RDI program committed crimes?" the document asks, referring to the program's formal internal name, the Rendition, Detention and Interrogation program. "Will the Justice Department revisit its decision not to prosecute anyone?"
And: "Until now the (U.S. government) has avoided conceding that the techniques used in the RDI program constituted torture. Now that the report is released is the White House prepared to concede that people were tortured?"

You can be picky and choosy when businesses are falling over each other for commercial space in your city. I was in SF yesterday, and I can tell you, I've never seen so many FOR RENT/FOR LEASE signs on buildings. Many now covered with graffiti.
The same thing here in the south bay. FOR RENT/FOR LEASE

In reply to Helen • Oct 27, 2013
That's a bit of a twofold issue I think... Black on OLED results in effectively infinite contrast ratio since black pixels are completely turned off, OLED displays on phones are generally oversaturated due to terrible calibration (or lack thereof). I'd hope they put a bit more effort on that when used for a camera EVF tho.

Below are this week's D/ST rankings and tiers based on matchup, talent and recent performance. Still have a tough start/sit question? Ask us anytime on Twitter @FantasySourceFB, or stop by our Sunday chats from 11 a.m. ET until kickoff on Facebook!
1. Philadelphia Eagles vs. TEN. The Eagles D/ST took a hit last week on the road against the Packers, but fantasy's No. 1 defense (still) should bounce back against the Titans. Rookie QB Zach Mettenberger has been pretty impressive, but he's still prone to the occasional mistake.
2. Buffalo Bills vs. NYJ (in Detroit). Fire up the Bills, fantasy's No. 6 D/ST,
in the snow against the Jets, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to defenses.
3. San Francisco 49ers vs. WAS. The 49ers are only getting stronger on defense with Aldon Smith back, and the Redskins offense is somehow getting worse with Robert Griffin III back. Also, Washington is allowing the fourth-most FPPG to defenses.
4. Kansas City Chiefs @ OAK. Kansas City has scored the sixth-most fantasy D/ST points in the last four weeks and gets a great matchup against a winless Raiders team.
5. Green Bay Packers @ MIN. The Packers defense is on a roll, checking in as fantasy's No. 3 defense suddenly after back-to-back strong games. We're expecting Green Bay to keep rolling against a struggling Vikings offense prone to rookie mistakes.
6. Indianapolis Colts vs. JAX. As usual, the Colts D/ST is strictly a matchup play, this time against the Jaguars, who are allowing the most FPPG to defenses. The Colts D put up 17 fantasy points on the Jags in Week 3, courtesy of four sacks, three takeaways and a TD.
7. San Diego Chargers vs. STL. Like the Colts, the Chargers are often a matchup-based D/ST play, and it doesn't get much better than this. The Rams are allowing the second-most FPPG to defenses behind Jacksonville.
8. Seattle Seahawks vs. ARI. We're not giving up on the Seahawks D/ST, but maybe we should. This unit ranks just 20th in fantasy points on the season, and the Cardinals have allowed the fourth-fewest FPPG to defenses. Still, we're not totally shying away from Drew Stanton.

9. Houston Texans vs. CIN
10. New England Patriots vs. DET
11. Arizona Cardinals @ SEA. The Cardinals defense, particularly the secondary, is on fire lately, ranking No. 2 in the last month. That's why we're trusting them on the road in what should be a defensive battle. Arizona's stout run D should keep Marshawn Lynch in check, and Seahawks' passing game hasn't been clicking without Percy Harvin.
12. Denver Broncos vs. MIA
13. Detroit Lions @ NE. The Lions are usually a must-start, top-10 fantasy D, but not this week. The Patriots are piling up points and allowing the fewest FPPG to defenses.
14. Cincinnati Bengals @ HOU
15. Cleveland Browns @ ATL
16. Dallas Cowboys @ NYG. Two words: Eli Manning.
17. St. Louis Rams @ SD. The Rams are playing better defense lately -- No. 7 fantasy D in the last month -- but this isn't the best matchup with the Chargers allowing less than 5.0 FPPG to defenses. There are better streamers above.
18. Chicago Bears vs. TB. If the Bears D/ST wasn't so underwhelming, we'd be a lot more excited about a home matchup against the Bucs, who are allowing the third-most FPPG to defenses.
19. New York Giants vs. DAL. Tony Romo could make a few mistakes, but it's not worth the risk in this NFC East shootout.
20. Baltimore Ravens @ NO
21. Miami Dolphins @ DEN. Fantasy's No. 2 defense draws the second-worst matchup for defenses. Coincidence? Yes.
22. Minnesota Vikings vs. GB. Don't try Aaron Rodgers.
23. Washington Redskins @ SF
24. New Orleans Saints vs. BAL. The Ravens are allowing the third-fewest FPPG to defenses, taking the Saints D/ST out of streaming consideration.
25. Atlanta Falcons vs. CLE
26. Tennessee Titans @ PHI
27. New York Jets vs. BUF (in Detroit).
Offense could be limited and turnovers could be high if the snow is still bad whenever this game is played. However, those are dangerous assumptions to trust the Jets D, so we'd look for a unit whose game isn't in doubt.
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ CHI
29. Jacksonville Jaguars @ IND
30. Oakland Raiders vs. KC

Then, together, we decide on the best approach to help you use your strengths to develop new resources and strategies to create the life you want."
"If you need support to change a troubled relationship, a job or living situation, I can help you. If you need strategic support to reach goals that elude you, or you need emotional support to manage an illness, I can help you. People who can take action to seek help for difficulties feel better about themselves and move in the direction of greater happiness. I like to employ wisdom from many sources; Research based positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices that restore emotional balance.

"Sometimes life is hard. You get stuck. You realize that this isn't the life you thought you'd be living. Unexpected life changing events happen. Old patterns or unresolved trauma may hold you back.. My strength is to help support you in an honest and direct way. I want to help you gain insight into the challenges you are facing and the life experiences that have brought you here. With that insight, we can work together to develop a plan for positive change, and give you the tools you need to live the life you want to be living."
"It is a given that by being human we must deal with challenges in life. How we do that depends on the skills learned and adaptations made during our growing up years. We establish patterns of behavior and thinking that often interfere with our relationships and happiness. My goal in therapy is to help others identify their problem-causing patterns and learn to use effective life-management skills. My specialty is working with the present-day effects of childhood traumatic experiences, with a primary focus on relationship management skills."
"We are all sexual beings. If you are unable to stop unwanted sexual behavior or love someone who is sexually compulsive, I am extensively trained to help you. Internet pornography, serial affairs, prostitution, compulsive masturbation, workplace sexual misconduct are some examples of what you may be seeking counseling for. Perhaps you are the partner or spouse of someone who is sexually compulsive and cannot move forward from the shock, betrayal, rage, or guilt you are experiencing. Because sexual addiction is misunderstood in the general population, breaking your isolation with individual or group work will begin to decrease your shame."
"Time for a change? Tired of feeling worried or unhappy? No one must continue to suffer, but sometimes it's hard to know what to do for things to change. You are welcome to call and chat no charge about how I can help you help yourself. Please check my website and blog for more info."

"I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) that specializes in the treatment of autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I provide home-based, community-based, and school based therapy to children, teens, and young adults. I develop an individualized treatment plan for each person I serve in order to help them reach their full potential.

"My name is Christina and I am a certified hypnotherapist in the Depth Hypnosis model. DH is a method of spiritual counseling and tends to go deeper and last longer than traditional suggestion hypnosis. This type of counseling is known to help the individual gain empowerment by accessing their unconscious mind and learning about themselves through hypnosis and guided meditation. At the core of DH is the belief that all of our symptoms are teaching us how to find balance in our lives. It is useful in addressing many issues including: addictions, phobias, anxiety, depression, eating-disorders, ADD, chronic pain, and many others."
"The simple fact you are seeking help through therapy is tremendously hopeful. You are half way there! My approach in therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to identify what it is you need to create more resolution, meaning and happiness in your life. We will co-create a plan to achieve these broader goals through your daily living, how you relate with others and how you think. Therapy can be a powerful way to transform yourself (and your challenges) into living more fully, and with more in-depth understanding of who you truly are."
"I will assist you in processing traumatic memories, depression, anxiety, anger."
"Are you or your child struggling with emotional or behavior problems? These problems not only affect an individual but also the loved ones around them, which is why I feel so passionate about helping children and their families. While I have a passion for working with children and adolescents, I also have experience with college students, young adults, adults, and older adults. I provide initial mental health assessment, individual counseling, family therapy, parent coaching, and group therapy. I have 9 years of experience working with individual families, the foster care system, juvenile rehabilitation, community mental health, The Department of Corrections, and with Native American clients."
"Sometimes our greatest fears/problems can be a doorway to important change and growth. This can be true in our personal lives, romantic relationships, and families. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for healing, and help people with many issues, including: grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, confusion, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, and worry. I work with individual adults, adolescents, couples and families."
"As a practicing Licensed Mental Health counselor for the past 19 years, I fundamentally believe in an individual's innate capacity to heal, grow and thrive. My practice is strengths-based and focuses on assisting people in recognizing and maximizing their skills and abilities. I am privileged to assist clients in achieving their full potential and capacity to lead creative and fulfilling lives."
"After a traumatic event like an accident or a serious loss, life can be, shall we say, a bit tougher to manage.... Are you having difficulty getting back into your groove? Is it difficult to sleep, to remember things or be around people or places that remind you of the event? Turning Point Psychotherapy is a unique approach to healing that is both depth oriented and brief. Drawing from "Power Therapies" including EMDR and Clinical Hypnosis, Turning Point Psychotherapy actively aims to help you restore happiness, inner harmony and a sense of well-being.."
"Adolescence is arguably the most challenging period of life. Research shows a growing number of teens are feeling isolated and alone, left to deal with life's difficulties with very limited resources. This journey called life is full of ups and downs, joy and pain, being known and feeling alone... At YD we believe that God's creation says something significant about God's character, and that in the context of the outdoors and in the company of others, we are challenged to new levels of thinking and experiencing life."
"At various times in our lives we may find that the pain of events is seemingly more than one can handle, and life questions are too great. During these passages, healing and stress reduction can be aided through a therapeutic alliance with a mental health counselor. Through listening and witnessing your story, as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I provide a safe and confidential environment to explore those issues, which most challenge you or your child. It is an honor for me to provide counseling services for those seeking healing and an increase in the quality of their lives."
"I see individuals, couples, and families. My treatment approach is systemic and transpersonal, meaning I try to understand human problems in terms of the complex interactions between our inner world and our outer world. I have a collaborative and non-judgmental style. I offer a safe place to develop a trusting relationship in order to foster resiliency and growth. Your job will be to be willing to get to know yourself better."
Sedro Woolley, Washington 98284

I just finished demo'ing this racquet along with a couple of others, one Wilson and one other Head. I really liked this racquet and chose to purchase it. I was looking for a racquet to help reduce my elbow pain and it certainly appears that this will help. The racquet is light and flexible and allows me to take a full rip at the ball.
After an up and down season using the pro staff 90, I have decided to go with something a little more arm friendly. Easier on the arm, strong access to maneuverability, and crisp pop when hit within the strikezone, are all characteristics I can feel when playing with this frame. I love the look, like that I can add at least 5mph on my serve, and enjoy that it is nice and light in order to work on my strokes and produce a cleaner struck ball upon impact. Already I have popped about 6 balls in the past two weeks of play, so the head speed I can produce with this racquet is there. It might lack some plow compared to previous models, but I was in the market for a lighter stick around 11oz strung so it still feels pretty strong. I think it will help exaggerate my groundstrokes in a positive manner. The only downside to me is the change to an open string pattern because I know it will be a lot easier to break strings. All in all, happy to play with a head midsize racquet again!
Don't Forget...

Hi Caral, are you in the Forest of Dean? I am in Cheltenham, Love going there for dog walks.
Fruitcake, if its any consolation, one of my next door plot holders, who has a full plot and who I share my split shed with, I have only seen twice since last year,. He likes to use loads of weedkiller (I'm trying to be organic) and the people with the top half of my plot are so messy its not true (keep hoping they will leave). Luckily the people the other side of me with the chickens are like minded, so we have a good moan together
Hi Caral, congrats on your new plot, you cant use enough horse manure in my opinion, especially on clay soil
growing spuds in mine!
Garden Girl. Lucky you with light soil, I could throw pots with my clay soil (really hard work!!)
Zoomer, get a hamock
Well done Stagbeetle, its taking shape now, bet your chuffed
Got one in a large pot too, looks really lovely and just needs a bit of pruning.
Hi GG, dont be too put off by that, people come and go for different reasons and many dont realize what hard work clearing a plot can be. As Zoomer says, you could have hidden raised beds or paths, hence the unevenness in the ground levels. Mine was like that, but once you start digging and clearing you will probably find some sort of layout. Hard to tell till its all strimmed and stripped back.
Have you asked if you could have it rent free for a bit and have a go at clearing it ?
What sort of soil have you got in your area?
Do the other plots look productive, if so then you should be ok, or do raised beds. Good luck with your decision either way
Hey Garden Girl, have you decided yet, your keeping us on tender hooks
Oh you poor thing Zoomer, that's awful, hope you make a speedy recovery
Plan B might be to get some plug plants from the garden centre, not as much fun .
Wow GG, at last a plot!! Looks no worse than mine did last year, its very daunting to start with a "field" but as all of us have learnt, do a bit at a time. Does it have a shed? if so get a good padlock and dont leave expensive tools if there is a break- in issue. Re wind and exposed area to footpath: you could plant some fruit bushes/hedging etc, check with the council if you can have the plot rent free until its cleared (thats what they offered me)
(just tried to upload photo of my "Field" before and after!

SALT LAKE CITY -- Maybe Chris Kaman is the nation's best pure center. And maybe Kyle Korver is the country's sweetest shooter. But in a head-to-head matchup of the two fair-haired, mid-major darlings, the night belonged to a soft-spoken chess-playing ghost named Mike Manciel.
Three years ago, the 6-foot-5, 235-pound senior from Detroit -- a guy old enough to have been a prep teammate of Shane Battier -- was the MAC's Freshman of the Year. But after two years full of foot and groin injuries, Manciel finally returned to 100 percent this season. Too bad, he's been overshadowed by the Chips' star big man, Kaman.
However, Kaman never got the wheels hitched to his wagon against the Bluejays. Whether it was the altitude (he was doubling over within three minutes of action) or the defense (Korver was always doubling down on him), Kaman (12 points) wasn't much of a factor. Then, when Kaman got into foul trouble with nine minutes remaining in the first half, Manciel took over.
At the time, the Chips were clinging to a 15-12 lead. By halftime, they led by 16.
"Mike was great tonight," said point guard J.R. Wallace.
Manciel not only slashed his way to the basket (he went six-for-seven for 15 points in the opening half), he also helped spark the active CMU defense which forced Creighton into 13 first-half turnovers.
"We were flat," said Creighton coach Dana Altman. "We just weren't ready to play tonight, and that's my fault."
Tony Bowne, a scrappy 6-3, 210-pound former all-state football player, also deserves credit. He played a major role defensively by hounding Korver all over the court, fighting through screens and darting into passing lanes.
"I'm really proud of the way our team played with Chris Kaman out of the game," said CMU coach Jay Smith. "I thought a lot of guys stepped up big for us."
Creighton rallied in the second half after CMU wore down. The Chips also got careless with the ball, trying to make too many extra passes, said Wallace. It didn't help CMU any that Korver also found his stroke, knocking down deep, off-balance 3s or spotting up from Park City. The Bluejays were poised to overtake CMU. They had closed the gap to 72-70 with one minute left.
Then, right on cue, Manciel drained an 18-footer from the left baseline. Ballgame.
"It was great to see this for him," Wallace said of Manciel. "Sometimes, last year, you could see the frustration on his face, but now he's 100 percent and you could tell how bad he wanted it."
Manciel, whose aggressiveness was measured by his 16 foul shots (he made 11) says he just tried to keep the faith.
"But I'm not gonna be excited. Not gonna smile," he said. "We still have to handle business."

The Beaches of Trujillo
Some of the best white sand beaches are in Trujillo. We didn't spend a lot of time laying on the beach because of overcast skies, as I recall, and because we opted for a boating activity and walk around town.
- Beaches
Trujillo Fort
The fortress at Trujillo is a national heritage site that maybe the oldest settlement and fortress in Central America (Granada, Nicaragua was founded by Royal Spanish charter in the same year, however). Columbus himself had first set foot here, and Cortez ordered that a supply settlement be founded here. Thus, Trujillo was also the first Spanish capitol of Central America, until it was changed to Comayagua in 1550. Although the waters were deep in the area, being somewhat less encumbered by coral reefs than elsewhere along the Honduran coastline, the fortress was difficult to protect from buccaneers who sought protection among the reef encrusted islands. Indeed during the 1600s Trujillo was attacked and plundered more than 10 times by Dutch, French, and English pirates.
The fortress sits on a bluff overlooking the ocean, adjacent to the old city plaza area. An entrance fee of $3- is required for entrance to the fort and museum, payable at a small office just off the main street at the plaza. Guards patrolling the area will escort tourists to this office, if you happen to walk into the fortress grounds by accident.

Cayo Blanco
We hired a boat and crew to take us snorkeling out over some shallow reefs known as Cayo Blanco. These are definitely in need of preservation, but are well worth the dive time. See my iPhone videos for this. The price of the boat trip was about $70- for maybe 3 hours. It's important to bring your own snorkel, mask, and fins from the USA, although life preservers are more commonly distributed by the boatman. We recommend that one person stay in the boat to watch others dive. The boatman are generally honest and concerned for the safety of their guests, but I recommend this as a precaution against any sort of trouble.

Trujillo Central Plaza
The parish church at Trujillo was once the Bishopric of Honduras, although the original structure must have vanished with some pirate invasion since the current structure dates to 1930. Within the plaza are various memorials, the most notable of which is to Juan de Medina, 1525 founder and mayor of the city. Walking the cobblestone streets of the inner city is definitely worthwhile.

Trujillo Cemetery
Besides William Walker, this cemetery reportedly has the tombs of various pioneers of the settlement, and so is very old. The location is excellent and beautifully overrun by tropical flowers. Unfortunately the gate was locked at the time of our stopping by. Wander around uphill from the plaza, or ask locals for directions to this place.

William Walker's Central American Empire
After you read this, you'll understand why I wanted to pay tribute to William Walker's site of execution and tomb. His spot of execution is marked with a concrete marker inside the fortress grounds, while his tomb is further in town at the city cemetery.
William Walker was a dynamic and controversial Tennessee born lawyer, journalist, and adventurer who conceived of the idea of creating slave states in Mexico and Central America. During the expansive period following the Mexican War, weak leadership in Latin America was painfully obvious, opening a window of opportunity for the slave holding American south which was itself facing increasing political pressure from the abolitionist north.
Walker became well educated very early in life, spending time studying medicine in Europe during the European revolutions of 1848. His notion of "filibustering" or "freebooting" new slave states as a buffer for the USA occurred to him while he was visiting San Francisco in 1849. Walker was initially successful in capturing La Paz, and later the whole of Baja California with a small band of mercenaries, mostly from Kentucky and Tennessee. After a Mexican Army dislodged him from Mexico, Walker then found financing to conduct a similar venture in Nicaragua, where control of transportation routes across the isthmus was critical to fast transit between New York and San Francisco, prior to construction of the transcontinental railroad.
Sailing from San Francisco with 60 men, Walker took advantage of a civil war situation in Nicaragua, providing a military leadership and taking Granada in 1855. After a phony election, ineffectual President Franklin Pierce briefly recognized Walker's government in 1856.
However, Walker's reinstitution of slavery and imposition of English as the official language, and the swagger of his empire building rhetoric, created a wave of fear in Central America and among Wall Street investors concerned about transit across Nicaragua's lake. So, reinforced in part by Cornelius Vanderbilt's corporate agents, President Mora of Costa Rica declared war on Walker's regime, and defeated Walker's army in two separate battles. In the Second Battle of Rivas, Drummer boy Juan Santamaría established himself as Costa Rican folk hero.
Although Walker's Southern-bred mercenaries were good fighters at the tactical level, superior reconnaissance and strategy were given to the Costa Rican army. Walker prematurely retreated to the capital at Granada; then, when facing a combined force of Costa Rican, Salvadorian, Honduran and Guatemalan soldiers, Walker's leadership torched the oldest European city in the Americas and fled to safety and repatriation to the USA by the American navy.
Interestingly, once back in the USA, Walker publicly ridiculed the American Navy for not having properly supported his cause with military force. Walker was actually rescued once again by the American navy in Central America, before English speaking residents of Roatan and the Bay Islands enlisted him as a defense against Honduran annexation.
The complexity of global politics was beyond Walker's understanding however, since the British navy, which controlled Belize and Moskitia, found Walker dangerous and more useful as a territorial bargaining chip. Thus, when Walker disembarked in Trujillo, he was immediately seized and turned over to the Hondurans. Naturally, the Hondurans celebrated the opportunity to trie and execute the 36 year old grey eyed Walker at their already historic fort.
Unfortunately, the cemetery was locked up tight, so we could put flowers on Walker's grave.

Trujillo Fort Museum
The admissions fee covers entrance to a small collection of artifacts found on the grounds of the museum archeologists. This research work revealed pottery fragments dating back to the Pre-Classic Mayan Period (1200 to 600BC). Ask the guard to turn-on the lights. There are actually two separate buildings, the newer one being devoted to cultural artifacts for the Pech and Garífuna tribes.

More About Trujillo Fort
Juan Bautista Antonelli, a military engineer, may have completed plans for a fort in Trujillo, but it's also reported that the fort may have been constructed in Trujillo during the years 1607-1629.
The website, the link for which is below, reports also that the fort was attacked by the Dutch in 1632, the French in 1633, and the English in 1672 and 1689. The city itself was burned by the French in 1633, the following year by the Dutch, and 3 times by others between 1786 and 1797.
This vulnerability was due to heavy pirate presence during the late 17th century at both Guanaja and Roatan, nearby islands famous today for coral reef diving, but during that period for ship wrecks.
The indefensible nature of the city resulted in transfer of the capital to Comayagua in 1560, and abandonment of the fortress by the 18th century.

Cedar Lake
Cedar Lake in rehearsals, August 2013.
Performed to a richly textured score of popular music, "Rain Dogs" is an homage to 'the urban dispossessed.' Each song brings another scene, linked through movement and music, that captures both parody and sympathy for the myriad of characters who populate the work. Portraits of men, women and their relationships evolve through movement that explores both graceful suppleness and grotesque dislocation. In this series of intimate vignettes, Inger creates a quirky study of what it is to be human.
JOHAN INGER made his breakthrough as a choreographer in 1995 after a successful dance career with Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT). Inger's works have won numerous prestigious awards. Between 2003 and 2008 he was the Artistic Director of the Cullberg Ballet. In 2009 he became an Associate Choreographer with NDT. Inger's works are in the repertoires of companies around the world including: Nederlands Dans Theatre, Cullberg Ballet, Gothenburg Ballet, Monte Carlo Ballet, Basel Ballet, Hannover Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance, Dresden Semper Ballet, Ballet du Rhin, Finnish National Ballet among others.

|Click here for a preview of "Witchblade" #122, on sale now
As a follow-up to our weeklong spotlight on Top Cow, CBR News sat down once again with Publisher Filip Sablik for an in-depth discussion about the companyâs plans for 2009, which include a fixed $2.99 cover price for all non-oversized books, a summer event featuring the return of fan-favorites Cyberforce and Hunter-Killer, and the forging of a more cohesive Top Cow universe.
First and foremost, Top Cowâs attention will be focused on their two flagship titles, âWitchbladeâ and âThe Darkness.â âWeâve got Ron Marz and Stjepan Sejiic on âWitchbladeâ through at least issue #150,â told CBR.
At the conclusion of the Ron Marz-penned âFirst Born,â the Witchblade was split in two, part of it remaining with Sara Pezzini and the rest finding a new host in the person of Dani Baptiste. âReaders who have been keeping up with âWitchbladeâ have seen that the Witchblade is once again kind of influencing both bearers, and Saraâs been acting a little bit strangely in the last few issues, so that will come to a head starting with issue #125,â Sablik revealed. The storyline will be called âWar of the Witchbladesâ and begin in March.
Though âThe Darknessâ has been re-launched a number of times, the series has been in print, in one form or another, for nearly 75 consecutive issues. To celebrate the bookâs success and longevity, Top Cow has instituted legacy numbering to take into account the prior two âDarknessâ series. âIn February, weâre going to release âDarknessâ #75, the eleventh issue of the current series, and weâre working really hard to make that a big, spectacular event,â Sablik said. âPhil Hester wrote a story, and then weâre going to have a star-studded cast of âDarknessâ artists come in and do various pages.â
Additionally, âThe Darknessâ #75 will be a self-contained story, and is designed as a good jumping on point for new readers.
Michael Broussard, who lent his artistic talents to the first six-issue arc of the current âDarknessâ series, will be returning to draw the storyline following issue #75. The current arc is illustrated by Jorge Lucas, and he and Broussard will be switching off on storylines for the foreseeable future. âThey kind of offer up two unique styles,â Sablik said. âMichael definitely has a style thatâs reminiscent of Marc Silvestri, which our core audience really responds to, and then Jorge kind of brings more of a realistic noir style to his work. People have been responding really well to it.â
|"First Born" collected edition on sale now
Marvel and DC Comics have always been known for their sprawling crossover events, which despite a tendency to become unwieldy and a considerable strain on readersâ pocketbooks, remain exceedingly popular. âEvents seem to be something folks respond to and get really excited about, but we try to counter-program a little bit in that weâre going to keep ours self-contained,â Sablik explained.
Top Cowâs last two major events, First Born and Broken Trinity, were both three-issue miniseries with three tie-ins. But for their 2009 event, Top Cow is going to do away with tie-ins altogether and produce a five-issue event miniseries theyâre calling âCyberforce/Hunter-Killer.â Though âWitchbladeâ and âThe Darknessâ have been Top Cowâs longest running series, Marc Silvestriâs âCyberforceâ was the outfitâs first book out of the gate, and fans have been clamoring for the teamâs return since three of its members -- Velocity, Cyblade and Ripclaw -- were individually featured in Pilot Season 2007.
âAnd weâve been getting similar request for âHunter-Killerâ since the first season wrapped up,â Sablik said. As such, comics superstar Mark Waid will be writing âCyberforce/Hunter-Killer,â and rising star Kenneth Rocafort (âMadame Mirageâ) will be providing the artwork. âSo weâre thinking itâs going to be a really, really special, cool event.â
One of Top Cowâs goals for 2009 is to create a cohesive Top Cow Universe. That said, when two Top Cow books crossover, it wonât always be a big event. âJackie and Sara share a baby, Hope, so over the coming year you may see either Jackie or Sara appear in the other oneâs books, but it wonât necessarily be something huge that we tell, itâll just be a natural, organic interaction between the two characters,â Sablik explained. âAnd other characters like Aphrodite and Magdalena and to a certain extent Cyberforce and Hunter-Killer may all kind of interact and crossover.â Sablik hopes that these charactersâ interactions will be rewarding to the fans who pick up all of Top Cowâs books.
|Upcoming Top Cow projects include "Berserker" and "Impaler"
Top Cow is also developing a series with DiVide Pictures, a production company started by âHeroesâ star Milo Ventimiglia and his partner Russ Cundiff. âThey are doing a comic series right now with Devilâs Due called âRest,â and the series theyâre doing with us is called âBerseker,ââ Sablik said. Based on a concept by TV writer Rick Loverd, DiVide thought the project would be a good fit for Top Cow, and the comic book publisher agreed. âThe characters in âBerserkerâ are descendants of Norse warriors called Berserkers. There is a pseudo-historical, kind of mythological legend about these warriors that, before battle they would just get so hyped up and so angry that they were unstoppable, but the downside of this is that in this rage-fueled power, they canât really distinguish friend from foe.â
In much the same way that âWantedâ put a gritty, hyper-violent twist on the superhero genre, Sablik says that âBerserkerâ is a take on a character like the Incredible Hulk. âNormally, when the Hulk pops up in some city, and he wrecks a bunch of stuff. Itâs mostly buildings get broken, maybe a superhero or two gets beat up, but for somebody thatâs supposed to be that powerful, thereâs not a whole lot of real damage,â Sablik explained. But when these modern-day Berserkers start living up to their name, youâd best believe thereâs going to be a body count. Rick Loverd is penning the book, and the artist has yet to be finalized.
Kickstart, the production company behind the film adaptation of âWanted,â is co-producing a project with Top Cow called âBlack Vault.â It was Kickstart that came to Top Cow with the idea, which Sablik characterizes as âGuantanamo in space.â âItâs an alternate, near-future story where the war on terror has continued to spin out of control, and the U.S. has decided to take extreme measures to get information out of terrorists,â Sablik said. âThey decide that they canât really do what they need to do on terra firma, so they take a few of these suspected terrorists up into an international space station to extract information out of them.â
|"The Darkness" #75 wraparound cover by Lee Bermejo
The space stationâs crew donât know what the U.S. government is up to behind closed doors, and find themselves between a rock and a hard place after they begin to discover whatâs really going on. B. Clay Moore (âHawaiian Dick,â â76â) is writing âBlack Vault,â and Top Cow-exclusive artist Nelson Blake II is providing the art.
While other companies are selling their books for $3.99, Top Cow has pledged to lock in its $2.99 cover price point for all of 2009. âThe only time youâll see a higher price point from us in the coming years is if the book is oversized,â Sablik confirmed. The 48-page âThe Darknessâ #75, for example, will have a higher cover price, but all of the Cowâs 22-page books will sell for $2.99. âWith the economy being what it is, cover price continues to be a real point of concern for a lot of consumers, so thatâs one of the ways we hope we can offer fans something extra.â
In an effort to stick more firmly to their shipping schedules, Top Cow has decided to curtail its convention presence in 2009. Top Cow routinely attends eight to ten shows a year, and that time commitment has sometimes slowed the gears of production. âOfficially, weâre only going to do three shows in 2009: New York, Wizard World L.A. and San Diego,â Sablik said. âThere may be shows where occasionally, a representative will come out and do a panel, or an artist will be a guest of the show, but as a whole, weâre going to pull that back. Obviously, we love interacting with the fans and stuff, but we want to get these books on time, and we think thatâs ultimately more important to fans than occasionally seeing us at a show.â
|The winners of last year's Pilot Season initiative, Velocity and Cyblade
The ever-evolving Pilot Season competition â whereby Top Cow publishes series of one-shots that readers vote on to determine which title graduates to ongoing series -- will return in 2009. Like Pilot Season 2008, next yearâs event will consist of six all-new concepts, as opposed to revamps of existing Top Cow properties. âWeâre going to bring in new creators,â Sablik said. âSome whom are more established and some fresh faces.â When Top Cow first introduced Pilot Season in 2007, they had to approach creators to fill their quota. âNow, on the creator side, people know what Pilot Season is, they think itâs a very cool concept, so as far back as June or July of last year, we were getting unsolicited pitches from a lot of really good, established creators.â
This year, Pilot Season* has an embarrassment of riches, and Sablik and company have been forced to narrow it down to the best of the best. Explained Sablik, âWeâre looking at two or three concepts that are equally as interesting, and having to kind of decide, âOkay, what makes the most sense to run with this year?â So itâs a good problem to have.â
âWitchbladeâ #122 and âThe Darknessâ #8 are on sale now from Top Cow Productions and Image Comics.

It may surprise many marketers to learn that while 62 million U.S. searches are performed on core search engines like Google and Bing on the average day, an additional 33 million are happening on alternative search sites. In January this year, search engines accounted for 18.7 billion U.S. searches; alternative search sites produced another 9.9 billion (report cites comScore data).
Marketers focused solely on traditional search may be missing out on a huge opportunity not only to tap into additional search data, but to connect in a meaningful way with searchers further into the purchase funnel. A new study by New York search retargeting firm Magnetic shows that while search activity overall is up, those using alternative search sites are also searching longer, indicating a greater quality experience for users.
Alternative Search Data Allows Brands to Reach Consumers with Higher Intent
"Non-search engine data adds up to greater specificity while searching," said Magnetic CEO James Green. "It's important because of the distance through which you can reach consumers down the sales funnel. Brands can reach into deeper funnel stages with alternative search. The more specific consumers are with their search, the easier it is to determine intent."
"The most optimal time to reach consumers is AFTER they've searched or signaled intent, which is also known as the consideration phase," he added.
It is in this phase that consumers will continue searching for information on non-search engine properties, such as eBay, Walmart, or Amazon. This is the time to influence brand preference and their buying decision.
Non-Search Engine Data a Threat to Google, Opportunity for Marketers
Walmart and eBay, in particular, have been beefing up their internal search. The report author explains how this perceived threat for Google is a huge opportunity for marketers:
Not only do they (Walmart, Amazon and eBay) own data surrounding what consumers have searched for, they also know what consumers have purchased in the past. The search technology within e-commerce sites is a powerful tool for marketers, and can be looked at as a potential threat for core search engines.
Magnetic CEO James Green notes that "The search industry is moving beyond Google domination, and there's a real value in that for publishers and retailers that recognize the data opportunity."
ComScore's Search Evangelist Eli Goodman said in the report that the shifts in consumer search behavior have opened up opportunities for publishers to add value to their inventory, and for marketers (retailers, e-commerce sites, large brand advertisers) to capitalize on search data.
In order to make the most of these opportunities, publishers and retailers need to own their own data, rather than relying on that shared through the major search engines. "The leading publishing companies are definitely stepping up to capture and make better use of data," said Jeanniey Mullen, CMO of digital publishing platform Zinio. "We believe publishers should own as much data as possible, from all channels and types of interactions."
Data from Multiple Channels = Better Budget Allocation Decisions
In the report, Mullen cites the reformatting and restructuring of the VIV digital magazine as one example of a publisher making the decision to capitalize on data optimization opportunities. The purpose of consumer interactions varies depending on the format, she said. Opening up their digital magazine to different channels allows them to collect, segment, and analyze data and better gauge intent through PC, tablet, smartphone, and social interactions.
What if you aren't a media publisher, but a retailer? We asked Dax Hamman, CRO at search retargeting media buying platform Chango, for a simple real-world example of how a business could better collect and utilize cross-channel data, without undergoing a major structural overhaul or venturing into the realm of publishing to create a new data collection point.
"There is already a tremendous amount of data that you can get your hands on," Hamman told us. "Let's say you're DishTV network, you have a Facebook Page and a sweepstakes that fans can only enter by Liking. If you click the link on that Page and you land on the site, DishTV knows you must have been a fan on their Page or you couldn't have seen that link. This type of data has a tremendous amount of value. The company can then make proper, logical business decisions with that information. If you're running site retargeting and you see that you have people who have been to your Facebook Page and not yet bought the TV subscription, you might decide, 'I'm not going to run site retargeting to anyone who is already a fan; I'm not going to waste my media on that because I'm reaching them in another area.'"
Hamman said few companies are doing this because:
- Many don't know this data exists or they don't understand its value.
- They may be aware of its value but lack access to the technology to take advantage of it.
"I would argue that unique, first-party data has significantly more value to the marketer than say, has someone browsed a particular article on your digital magazine," he said. "These are not the types of insights Google can tell you."
Retargeting Tips to Maximize Value of Data Available in Alternative Channels
Magnetic offers five tips to help marketers better capitalize on the alternative search opportunity through retargeting:
- Use search data across a variety of search entities. Search retargeting can be effective in helping marketers to acquire, retain, and increase interaction with customers.
- Set 90-day and 180-day data strategies. Take the time to align staff, marketing efforts and product interfaces with the outcome of generating more valuable interactions and track short term/long term goals throughout.
- Determine partners based on the value brought to data. Real value may lie in interactions, rather than transactions.
- Reevaluate your priorities and strategy. "Site search on a retailer is a better indication of consumer intent than any Google data," said John Haake, VP of Marketing at e-commerce media platform Hook Logic.
- Accelerate beyond traditional search. Brands are moving budget online faster than ever before; publishers and brands need to look beyond the core search engines to maximize this opportunity.
"Research today says that desktops are mostly used between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.," Green told Search Engine Watch. "Tablets are used outside these hours and mobile is used outside the home and the office. Retailers, publishers and e-commerce companies are just now beginning to look across these different devices for different insights."
In essence, he said, with the advent of new devices, growth or retargeting and audience buying, new sources of data have evolved.
"Data is going to drive marketing strategies across platforms –are consumers searching, interacting and navigating through sites on mobile differently than on their iPad or desktop, at what time of day and for how long?" he asked. Green believes these are the types of questions that publishers, retailers and e-commerce sites will ask themselves as they restructure their own web entities to capture more data.
"Companies should start thinking of their site or e-commerce online store as three different stores: one in your home, another in your office, and a third that moves around with you," Green recommended. "Each of these circumstances will have different items for sale, be sold in different ways, and only the very sophisticated well financed and imaginative sellers are going to be able to capitalize on the availability of data and innovation of devices early on. In a more mature market, tools will be made available to the masses, but that's not where we are today."

#1 location
We stayed with several hotels in Tokyo over the years; overall, this is a good one.
It is a simple budget hotel; it sits in a quiet and convenient location. We were able to get around the city easily in daytime and quiet enough to have restful sleep at night.
The location of the hotel is halfway between 2 subway stations, Aoyama-it-chome & Nogizaka. (http://www.asiacenter.or.jp/eng/access/) Both stations are a few minutes' walk from the hotel.
The rooms are small like most hotels in Tokyo but they keep them tidy and clean. The Internet is free in the rooms for your laptop if you bring an Ethernet cord and there is free Wi-Fi in the lobby area. The breakfast is basic and mixed with western & Japanese style.
If you want to have a break from the breakfast in this hotel, Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi is about 10 minutes' walk in the direction of Nogizaka station. This high-end shopping mall has a Starbucks, a pastry shop and a 24-hour supermarket (Precce Premium) in the basement so it could be another breakfast option. Or there are couple of restaurants that also serve breakfast in Aoyama-it-chome subway station.
#2 location - From Narita airport
One of the reasons we liked this hotel is that, with only a couple of train ride and a short walk we were able to get to the hotel from airport. And the subway station at Ueno where you board the train is not over-crowded like Shinjuku or Shibuya station. We easily changed trains even with our suitcases and it was rush hour. You have stairs to navigate though.
We followed the direction from the hotel website, taking Keisei Line (Skyliner) from airport (Yen 2400 each) to Ueno station. Then following the sign to the Ginza line (yellow line), it is about 5 minutes walk and all under cover. Taking the Ginza line, in the direction to Shibuya, to Aoyama-it-chome is 190 Yen each way.
Try to go to the front compartment of the train with your suitcases, it might less crowded. And because of Ueno & Aoyama-it-chome station are the fourth stop of both ends, you are likely to find a seat as well. Exit 4 South is the closest exit to the hotel in Aoyama-it-chome station; turn left once you pass the turnstile and look for the signs.
#3 location
Tokyo metropolitan is covered by 2 major subway companies – Tokyo Metro & Toei Line.
A day pass (710 Yen) for Tokyo Metro line is almost able to take you to most of the places in the city. With 290 Yen more, a day pass (1000 Yen) for both Toei & Tokyo Metro subway lines will give you even more access and more convenience. Such as : if you want to go for a swim in hot summer day or feel like to do some workout, a newly renovated Tokyo Gymnasium is right next to Kokuritsu-kyogijo station (A4 Exit) in Toei Oedo line, one stop from Aoyama-itchome. With 600 Yen, you can use the facilities for 2 ½ hours, there is one 8-lane, 50-meter pool and a 25-meter pool and all new cardio machines with free weights in the workout room. The lock is included; just bring your gear –bathing suit, bathing cap, towel, soap and shampoo. There you go. Have a good trip.
