Yoshie, our guide for the Market tour and Sake tasting was excellent. At the market, we purchased the ingredients for our cooking class and learned about the various foods on sale. She also taught us some small Japanese phrases to use.
Mieko, our teacher for the cooking class also was outstanding - we made dashi, miso soup, rolled egg omelette and Sushi for dinner.
The whole experience was fun and informative and our groups was only 4 people. Highly recommend the experience.
Great experience our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. The cooking class was first rate . I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Kyoto
The tour guide was knowledgable, and the market we explored with her was fascinating. The brewery was similarly interesting, with samples of delicious beer and sake. We learned a lot about Japanese food and beverages, including the sake-brewing process. Finally, the cooking class was very fun and we produced simple, delicious food under the guidance of a patient instructor. This was a highlight of our time in Kyoto.
Was one of the highlights of our trip. The guide and the cooking teacher were great. Looking forward to trying out the recipes we learnt.
Guides were great. Very enjoyable overall. A great way to see local Kyoto plus sake tasting plus learning to make sushi!
We travelled as a group of 6 adults aged between 19-53 on this wonderfully engaging and interactive tour. Although it went for several hours we were sad to say goodbye. We had knowledgeable women walk us around the back blocks of Kyoto proudly showing us their markets, their special foods, their magnificient department store produce, then a very interesting insight and educational session on the making of sake and finally a delicious dinner partly prepared by our group pf 12 but under the expert guidance and care of the most beautiful ,humble and gentle Kyoto women. Sensational!

Wonderful tour.
This tour was great, we really enjoyed it as it was quite educational, the food was delicious, everyone involved were lovely and they also spoke fluent English!!
We really enjoyed this. With just 4 people it was nice and intimate. We were taken through streets we hadn and #39;t seen and learnt a lot about Japanese food and cuisine. A few samples of different items down the markets was also a plus. Great guide, great cooking teacher. Overall a fun experience
Although there was a mistake at the start of the tour and we were left behind, when I phoned the tour operator they were very apologetic and searched through the busy Nishiki markets to find us only knowing what colour clothing we were wearing. We were reunited with the tour group and went to the Sake Museum and the Cooking Class. We were generously refunded for the part of the tour we missed.
I highly recommend this tour operator. Although there was a mistake with the booking they did all that they could to reunite us with the tour group. The Cooking Class was a great experience.
We were looking for a tour that offered a cultural experience of Japan and felt this tour experience looked to meet what we were seeking. We began with a tour of the Nishiki Market. Our tour guide Yosie, was excellent and knowledgeable about the foods and products available at the market. She taught us how to ask in Japanese for items to be used in our cooking class. Thie tour enabled us to see products and vendors we wanted to spend more time visiting. We were able to return to the market for shopping the next day to visit some of the vendors we wanted to spend more time shopping.
We then walked to the sake tasting. Since Yosie had been educated on sake brewing, she was able to share interesting insights about the sake and brewing process.The highlight was to taste the sakes and beer .
Our next stop was the machiya, where the cooking class would take place. Mieko was our teaching chef, who walked us through preparing miso soup, spinach salad with roasted sesame seed dressing, and maki sushi. We watched demonstrations and took part in some of the cutting and assembly. The result was a delicious dinner.
A couple notes for the experience. The directions to meet our guide were not provided and required calling the listed number for questions. Second, there is a bit of walking through out the tour sidewalk walking that might be difficult for some.
The entire experience was excellent and we recommend it for anyone.
This tour was amazing! The women were so sweet and knowledgeable and spoke English well. It was very interactive. I would 100% recommend this tour and the company.
Very interesting tour, even for men. The guide takes you to the market to get the components for making sushi. Then, you go to this house where the teach you how to make a perfect sushi. After that you eat your own masterpiece. It was great!
Our tour through the Nishiki market was great, discovering the various types of preserved vegetables and fish was interesting and fun to look at. The artistry and creativity of the candies and all the foods was amazing. Our sake tasting was very educational and well done. The cooking class was so much fun and Yayoi did a fantastic job teaching us how to make miso soup, a delicious sesame dressing for our spinach salad and the trick to making rolled sushi. A big highlight for our family of 4! Domo Arigato Gozaimashta!!
I LOVED this tour! My husband and I ended up being the only ones on our particular tour, but that actually worked out great! Our tour guide was fantastic and I learned so much about the history of the market and the things we were buying. It was fun to pick out ingredients and ask for them in Japanese. The sake tasting was a lot of fun, too, and it was even cooler to see the historic area where it was made.
The cooking lesson really topped it off for me, though I had a great time! I already really love to cook, and I had tried a few things already with minimal success. Our teacher was really nice, and was able to show me how do things better or more neatly. I really can't wait to try cook everything at home. Dessert was new for me---vanilla ice cream with dark brown sugar syrup and soybean flour on top---but it might just be my new favorite.
All in all, I can't recommend this tour highly enough. I loved every minute, and hope that you will too! This tour company is amazing!
My family went on this tour in June. We had a great time.
The first half is a tour of the market -- great explanations of the products on sale there.
A lot of stuff is different than what it appears. The second half was cooking and eating a meal using what we had bought in the market. Really well done and worth the time and money.
Amazing tour ! Our guide was wonderful and the cooking class was fun and delicious ! Truly a highlight to get to know the city and its culture with a wonderful guide and two funny, kind cooking instructors whose lessons help support female entrepreneurs ! who helped me and my dad make a delicious meal :
This tour was amazing!
Nobu, our guide was very nice. It was an amazing tour.
We enjoy the market tour, sake distillery without a feeling of being rushed.
The cooking class was a lot of fun.
Good English speaking guide for the walk throufh market with many intresting facts about the market and foods, very nice tradiational home and setup for cooking class, a very good experience
Nobu our guide was nice and helpful, good English ! The walk through the market a wonderful experience. Then the brewery was Ok, a pity is not a working one but the sake tasting was good. And then the cooking was so much fun!!! We shared with a charming Vietnamese girl. We learned and had fun !!!
It was much fun experiencing some of the foods of Japan and how they are prepared. Excellent program.
Another fantastic experience w/ the ladies of the Women's Assn. of Kyoto. Tour included the market, an historic tea shop, local craft stores, and sake tasting. Our guide was patient w/ our many questions. Our cooking instructor was attentive, inclusive, and an excellent teacher. We highly recommend!
This trip worth evry cent. The tour guide was well informed about myriad Japanese delicacies on display at the Nishiki market and our small group of eight people. At the sake outlet we tasted quality sakes and ended up buying a bottle for the cooking class. The cooking class gave us hands on experience at sushi-making. Our teacher was very clear in her explanations and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our experience, We will recommend anyone to take this tour.

>Jim Anderson had asked a question (number 1) regarding
>similarities/differences between variegation in daylilies and
>hostas. I had declined to participate in this question because of my
>limited familiarity in daylilies.
There are very few variegated daylilies and they are mostly unstable.
A variegated seedling will show up from time to time, but they tend to
be mericlinal chimeras and few form a stable periclinal chimera.
>I summarized the concepts defined by Jones(1934) wherein chimeras
>(multicolored adjacent tissues) are a result of mutations within
>specific cells which create two or more colors within cells and
>subsequent, corresponding tissues.
I think hosta people need to get away from thinking in terms of
mutations as the cause of variegation in hostas and start looking at
the problem from a logical point of view. First, I don't know of any
other plant genera like hosta. Hostas are NOT mutating at any higher
rate then any other plants. When you look at any other plant genera
you don't see the level of variegation that you see in hosta. If
hosta variegation was due to mutations then you would see the same
level of mutations in other plants. I know the Great Ben proposes
mutations as one cause of hosta variegation and sporting, but Ben
doesn't know much about botany.
Secondly, if you propagate enough hostas you see that certain types
keep reappearing.
Variegation in hostas is most likely due to either transposable
elements or some other mechanism that turns genes on and off.
Some time ago I gave Ben a clue to figuring this out, but apparently
he doesn't know enough about higher plants and apparently doesn't have
the observational skills to figure this out, besides not knowing how
to propagate hostas. If you look at Francee in the spring you see
that the margins are lighly yellow when the new leaf is still small.
If you look at Patriot you see that the edges of new leaves are
yellow, but a deeper yellow. The leaves of Patriot have a wider edge,
the color of the center is a darker green and if you feel the leaves
they have a thicker, heavier feel to them. If you propagate enough
Francee you see this Patriot form showing up from time to time, but
sometimes not as intense as Patriot. Also, you get light green forms
from time to time. This is a POSITION effect. I'm amazed that the
Great Ben couldn't figure this out, especially considering he is
suppose to be knowledgeable about fruit flies where position effects
were first studied.
This spring I had five sports out of Whirlwind from 7 plants. Three
of the sports had leaves that were folded in half with a narrow white
center. After the 4-5th leaf the new leaves started getting flater,
but still with a thin center. Now the newest leaves are pretty much
like Whirlwind. All three plants that had this initial type of leaf
did this gradual change. This behavior is not due to mutations.
In cats calaco coloring is due to turning off of one of the X
chromosomes. Some cells have the paternal X on while other cells have
the maternal X on. When the X chromosomes get turned on/off
determines the calaco pattern you see. Streaked hostas are the calaco
cats of the hosta genus, except it's not a X/y based sex chromosome.
In a two layer histogenic structure the corpus (L2) doesn't have the
organized apical initials like the L1 layer does. Therefor, the cells
in the L2 apex can be a mosaic pattern of genes that are turned on or
off, or a position effect through a transposable element - this would
result in a streaked hosta. A streaked hosta would revert to a
"stable" edged/center variegation pattern when the cells in the apex
of the L2 layer all revert to having the transposable element at the
same location. A edged/center hosta can revert to a streaked form
when some of the transposable elements shift position resulting in a
mosaic pattern in the L2 apex.
Getting a good understanding of transposable elements is difficult.
Genetics textbooks in the 60's and 70's don't discuss them because
they were not understood well at the time, and by the 80's and 90's
genetics textbools were being written from a biochemical and molecular
biology point of view and also mostly ignore transposable elements.
For those who might want to do some searching of the literature,
search for articles by Barbara McClintock.
Now, I wonder how long it will be before I see this showing up in the
Hosta Journal as Ben's latest theory on variegation in hostas. I
certainly hope he will give me some credit!

Woman injured during break-in at Edinburgh home
- 5 July 2014
- From the section Edinburgh, Fife & East Scotland
A woman has been injured by an intruder during a break-in at her Edinburgh home.
The 19-year-old victim became aware that a man was inside the property in Pier Place at about 12:15 on Friday.
A struggle between the pair resulted in the woman suffering a dislocated elbow and a minor injury to her face.
She fled and got help from a neighbour who contacted police. The suspect was thin, about 6ft and wore a tracksuit.
He also spoke with a local accent.
Police are conducting local enquiries to trace the man and asked anyone who can help identify him to come forward.
Det Sgt Mike Leask said: "The victim sustained painful injuries to her arm and face, which required medical attention and left her incredibly shaken."

Background: Fracture-healing is impaired in mice lacking a functional cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene or in rats continuously treated with COX-2 inhibitors. These observations indicate that COX-2 is a critical regulator of fracture repair. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly used to treat pain associated with musculoskeletal trauma and disease. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit COX-2 function and in so doing can impair fracture-healing. The goal of the present study was to determine how variations in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy ultimately affect fracture-healing.
Methods: Closed femoral fractures were made in female Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were treated with different doses of celecoxib (a COX-2-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) or were treated for different periods before or after fracture with celecoxib. Eight weeks after the fracture, healing was assessed with radiography and destructive torsional mechanical testing. The effect of celecoxib treatment on fracture callus prostaglandin E2 and F2α levels was determined as a measure of cyclooxygenase activity.
Results: Celecoxib doses as small as 2 mg/kg/day reduced fracture callus mechanical properties and caused a significant increase in the proportion of nonunions. Similarly, treatment with celecoxib at a dose of 4 mg/kg/day for just five days reduced fracture callus mechanical properties and significantly increased the proportion of nonunions. Conversely, celecoxib therapy prior to fracture or initiated fourteen days after fracture did not significantly increase the proportion of nonunions. Celecoxib treatment at a dose of 4 mg/kg/day reduced fracture callus prostaglandin E2 and F2α levels by >60%.
Conclusions: COX-2-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy during the early stages of fracture repair significantly reduced fracture callus mechanical properties at later stages of healing and increased the proportion of nonunions in this animal model.
Clinical Relevance: Celecoxib therapy in the therapeutic range used by humans significantly impaired fracture-healing if administered during the first two weeks after a fracture in this animal model. However, celecoxib therapy prior to fracture or after the early stages of fracture-healing did not impede healing. These observations indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy during the early stages of fracture-healing probably should be avoided.

In the week that we thought maybe we had swine flu, ran frightened from our offices, wandered the East Village for hours looking for wireless or a good doctor, and eventually received an email with the subject line "It's NOT Swine Flu," we sheepishly came back to our desks, only to find an army of cleaning ninjas in white jumpsuits and scary facemasks waiting for us. True story. In related news, no one from this office is ever going to get laid again. Anyway, that's probably it for us and swine flu jokes. Definitely done with those.
What else. Nels Cline on masturbation, Magik Markers' Elisa Ambrogio on killing women, Found Magazine's Davy Rothbart tells a joke that starts "Jim Carroll goes to a colonic spa...", actor Diego Luna on the man with whom he is pictured in many a sexual fantasy, Gael Garcia Bernal, and Deradoorian, a/k/a Angel from Dirty Projectors doing laundry.

Recent reviews
2.5 /5 from 39 reviews
This is a very old, nasty hotel. The AC is the original and makes a lot niose. Personal is not that friendly y would never recommend to anyone. PLease do your self a favor and pay a little more.
You pay for what you get. Night that place is staying with the prices at all.
The stay here was AWFUL... definitely would not recommend staying here at all. First of all, the overall grounds are run down and the buildings are old and not clean. We entered our room and the first thing we see is that there are hairs left on the pillow. Showering was an entire ordeal because there is NO HOT WATER and we had to go to the lobby twice to get towels. There were no towels in the room when we arrived. We had to walk to the lobby to get towels because the phone in the room did not work. In addition to that, the room was in bad condition overall. It was dirty and the bathroom window was broken. The bathroom door was also broken and wouldn't shut. We voiced all of these concerns multiple times to the staff who did almost nothing to assist us. This hotel is not what it seems on the hotels.com page and definitely not worth the $124 per night that we paid to stay here. Overall a bad experience.
The room looked over a parking lot and very unkept area. We requested to switch to another room and told all rooms full.? No one informed us of what is available at the hotel or where anything was. The entire area need TLC!
The place is really run down, but the price was much less than anything else on a beach during Christmas week. The AC was extremely noisy. The beds are ok. The maids did a decent job. Breakfast buffet was ok. It was nice being so close to a quiet beach, probably a 50 meter walk in one minute. They must want to sell the property because they could spend a little on updates and maintenance and have a nice place.

Welcome to St. Raphael the Archangel School – we hope you will take sometime to browse our website and see what a special place this is for our students and families. At St. Raphael, everyone is family. We are happy to be a small Catholic Elementary School where everyone knows everyone else, and where teachers and students all care about one another, regardless of grade level.
St. Raphael the Archangel School is an institution in St. Louis Hills, and is known for its strong Catholic presence in the community. Here, our students all attend Mass together every day; our pastor has a daily presence in the school and in the lives of our students; our teachers all help our students to understand the importance of their Catholic faith in all that they learn, see, and do.
The students at St. Raphael the Archangel School come from all walks of life. They are excited about learning, about their Catholic faith, and about being part of their St. Raphael school family. Visitors to our school often remark about how friendly and polite they find our students, and although they come in as visitors, they leave as friends.
The Faculty and Staff are all committed to life-long learning, updating curriculum and incorporating educational best practices every year. St. Raphael is a place where teachers offer individual help to students after school because it's the right thing to do. It's a place where teachers work alongside parents at parish events. It's a place where faculty and staff celebrate the joys and sorrows of life together with each other and with all of our students.
Our school families and parishioners all pitch in to help out at school. Whether it's recess duty, cooking lunches, moving furniture, or helping with learning centers, at St. Raphael we know we can count on the support of all of these members of our school family.
In addition to Grades K-8, we are proud to offer a vibrant Preschool for children ages 3-5. We offer After Care for Preschool through Grade 4, and we have an incredible Summer Camp for kids.
Thanks for visiting our school website, and please come and visit us! We'd love to welcome you to our family where students are "Formed in Faith, Prepared for Life."
Peace and Blessings,
Kim Vangel,

Supercharge that old axe with this unique pickup.
The DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup is the neck pickup that breaks all the rules. It's fat and warm, yet not muddy. It's hot, but not distorted. It's even got cool harmonics. The patent-applied-for magnetic structure reduces string-pull, so sustain is improved, and pick attack and dynamics are tremendously controllable and expressive. Combine the Air Norton pickup with a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge position for a perfect blend of power and tone. DP193 pickups are recommended for solidbody and semi-hollowbody guitars.
When the Air Norton is in the neck position, it's a warm, open-sounding pickup with enough power to balance with all bridge humbuckers. Try the DiMarzio DP193 with 500K pots for maximum treble and harmonic presence. In the bridge position, the sound is medium output with solid lows and biting harmonics. You can try it here with 250K controls, or a 500K volume and 250K tone to fatten the highs up a little. The Air Norton combines well with an Air Classic in the neck, and also with Cruiser, Chopper and Blue Velvet single coil pickups.

I've had this pickup for over a year, so I didn't just put it in yesterday and now i'm raving about it. What it sounds like (In Neck position): It's crystal clear, notes sing out forever, it's part of the "air" series that has a special magnet that reduces string pull and allows for longer sustain, which is absolutely wonderful. It sounds fat, very vowel-like. The cool thing about it is that it's very dark sounding, but has an amazing clarity. Harmonics scream, and every note picked is very present and has great dynamics. It's almost like having a second bridge pickup, it has that sort of clarity, but with that neck pickup smooth tone. If you are experiencing noise with this pickup, YOU goofed the wiring, or you don't know how to control your rig properly. If you don't have this pickup set high enough near the strings, you probably will have a "dark muddy" tone, like any pickup would too far from the strings.I gave it a 10 on all the ratings, because it has all the features a humbucker can have, top notch quality, an excellent value, and a great sounding pickup. It will be legendary one day, it's that good, at least to my ears.

I put this in the neck of an Ibanez Prestige and it is way too muddy and dark. The pickup would probably be good for cats who play jazz and want a dark tone from the clean neck setting or if you are looking to warm up a bright and brittle sounding guitar, this may work.

Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I put the Air Norton into the neck positon of my Gibson Les Paul Standard to match it up with an Air Zone in the bridge. The airiness give a smooth warm tone but the higher output an Alnico V give it clarity and a little spank. It sings like most DiMarzios do without the muddiness like Alnico 2 pups can have. No boom which is important to me. I love the midrange DiMarzios tend to have. No scoop, no boom. You can scoop the amp's eq if you want the tightness. I haven't hear an Air Norton in the bridge. I'm used to the PAF Pro, but definitely digging the Air Norton.
DiMarzio pickups come with 2 sets of screws (flat, phillips) durable lead, and the coils are wrapped well! unlike a certain other brand.

Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I was referred to this pickup by DiMarzio. In 2000, I bought a Gibson LesPaul Classic, stock ceramic 496 and 500 pups. I played through a Mesa Rectifier at the time. The combination didn't work, to my ear. Overpowered. Sounded like the guitar was out of tune even though it wasn't. I had DiMarzios in my Ibanez, so I called them (got a real person, first try) and explained the issue. The tech recommended Air Zone (bridge) and Air Norton (neck), to retain the 'meat' but back off on the pressure that made the sound harsh, going into an already hi-gain amp. WORLD of difference. I may experiment with the bridge pup, but that Air Norton has never left. Most notable feature, is that you can almost get the same squealing and chiming harmonics as you can with whatever you have in the bridge. Far more freedom to experiment with neck soloing using an Air Norton, in my opinion.

Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
Great pup for the neck position!
Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
This pickup is quite unique. It has a sort of glassy, almost single coil like chirp, yet all of the warm sustain and fluid response you could ever want. It is wild yet refined, and just sings under high gain, and is very full bodied and warm clean. I'm extremely pleased.
I have this in the neck position on two of my Ibanez RG prestige guitars. All I can say is "sweet, glassy, toneful, singing." Just amazing through my Soldano SLO. I have these paired with a tone zone in the bridge, and it is an amazing match.
Dimarzio is top notch
Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I have this in the neck position of my Sterling AX 40 and it sounds great. Its paired with a Tone Zone in the bridge position.
Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I just installed this guy in my Gibson Les Paul in the Neck Position, and its the best neck pickup I have ever used. It is a great Combo with the Tone Zone and (which is a great middle pickup in my LP) and the Super Distortion (in the bridge of my LP). I recommend this to anybody out there looking for a great neck pickup.
Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I recently got one of these for the neck position of my PRS Singlecut along with a D-Sonic in the bridge (yes, I'm a Petrucci tone fan) and I was floored by the quality of the sound. Brilliantly clean for fast passages, with thick sustain for those slowhand moments. It's also wired for coil tap, and it creates this brilliant bright tone when split, excellent for clean parts. They're essentially giving these things away at that price - if you want a change in clarity and sustain without a big change in your tone you worked so hard for, go with the Air Norton, for sure.
Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I love this pick up! I tried it both in the neck & bridge. Here's my take: In the bridge it was pretty good, I just need a little more mid & treb for 1 of my bands so I ended up going with a tone zone. In the neck, this to me is the best sounding neck pickup I heard outside of Yngwie's neck pickup sound. It tracks well and has a great attack to it. Very big sounding and the clean is really nice too. I haven't wired it for split coils so I can't give an opinion on that, but I think my next guitar I get I will wire it for that. Anyways, I use this in both a guitar in standard and 1 tuned down to B and it sounds great in both. As far as the guy who said not to use it with a floyd, I don't know why. Maybe he needs an Fspaced one. Both guitars I have this in are old (1 87 & 1 89) Ibanez RGs. I haven't had any issue with these and the trem.
Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I have the Air Norton in the neck position of my 1974 Gibson Flying V and it is the coolest sounding clean tone I've ever heard. I also have a Andy Timmons in the bridge position and they really work well together. In the middle switch position, the AT adds a bit of sparkle to the AN. The AT is cool clean too but with the distortion channel on..................pure smoke. I have a Kahler trem and both pickups are great with it,(they are F spaced), so I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about. Buy one!!!!
Comments about DiMarzio DP193 Air Norton Pickup:
I dropped this thing in the neck of my Jackson King V with a Dimebucker in the bridge and when both pickups are on all bets are off. The Air Norton has a low end, but its crisp and warm. It is pure power.

Cycling Musette Transformed. Sling the new Vitesse cycling musette on, toss in your wallet, keys, phone and the rest, and you're ready for a ride on your bike or a walk around town. Inspired by the musette bags used in cycling races to pass food to cyclists, this modern version is as straightforward, lightweight and compact, but we've upgraded it to be more comfortable, lasting, functional, and—dare we say—handsome? The Vitesse can easily be folded and packed into another bag for travel of any kind. Premium waxed canvas and leather. What are you waiting for?
Part of the Vitesse Collection.
All our products are crafted locally in our workshop by the most skilled sewing team in San Francisco.
- Waxed Canvas
- Naturally-tanned grizzly leather tab closure with black screw stud
Weight & Dimensions:
10.5" (Height) x 16" - 13" (Tapers from top to bottom) x 0.5" - 2.75" (From top to bottom); Standard - 11.1 oz. With Flap - 13.5 oz.
- Black metal screw stud
- Seatbelt webbing strap with metal Tri Glide to adjust strap length
It's not waterproof, but it is water-resistant.
Although vitesse is French for "speed", the only speedy thing about the Vitesse Collection is how fast it can help you transition from casual to work and vice versa. The straightforward, un-complicated designs use lightweight canvas and full-grain leather to create contemporary pieces from old favorites. This collection is committed to the essentials, and have an easy, relaxed style: few pockets, no lining, no extra hardware. Fold and take them along as second travel bags, or use as your primary carry-all.
Advice from Gary: Any messenger bag will slide around - while bent over on a bike, the center of gravity is below and in front of you - so the bag wants to go there. Larger messenger bags have the cross stability strap that helps keep the bag on your back. The smaller Musette bag is small enough that you should be able to keep it fairly well balanced on your back to keep it from sliding around. Back when I was messengering in Boston there were no Stability straps - we had to balance the larger loads on our back. You want to keep the strap short enough so that when riding - the bag fits into the small curve of your back.

Sanyo Xacti VPC-TH1 camcorder
The TH1 is aimed at those on a budget who still want to benefit from HD recording. It's 720p rather than Full HD, but that's still more than adequate for most applications.
The 3in widescreen LCD screen is impressive as is the 30x optical zoom. The TH1 uses SD or SDHC cards though it does have an internal memory capacity of about 40MB, which should be enough in an emergency, for images at least. That internal storage will give you 38 seconds, 57 seconds and 1:49 in the three video modes.
The top resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels at 30 frames per second isn't bad, however the only other resolution available is a 640 x 480 option at 30 or 60 frames per second. You can capture still images at 1600 x 1200 pixels, which makes this a rather unimpressive 2-megapixel camera. Sanyo bill the TH1 as a dual camera, suitable for both video and still photography, but with just 2 million pixels you'll probably want a regular stills camera too.
The short body of the Sanyo might not appeal to everyone, but it's not too bad to use. At first we found the button placement a bit odd, however, over time it became less of an issue. The menus are a simple affair, however, you can put the camera into super simple mode if you so wish.
The Sanyo has a mini sized HDMI connection for you to hook-up directly to an HD TV or amp though the cable isn't supplied with the camera. The supplied cables will allow you to connect to a TV with a Composite connection.
Rarely does a camera do so badly that we'd warn against using it, but sadly the idea that you might be able to use the TH1 as a stills camera as well as a camcorder is a poor claim. The stills shot with the Sanyo are terrible. Five years ago we'd have been disappointed with quality like this: today it is inexcusable. Rather than suggest you can use this as two cameras in one, Sanyo should have left off the photo function altogether.
Video was better than the still performance, but to be honest that wouldn't be difficult. Here the Sanyo provides much more acceptable results, but they are only that, nothing more. Video was a touch soft and colours ok, but we've seen similar performance from cheaper camcorders.
This is essentially a stripped down version of the Xacti VPC-FH1, which offers more options and Full HD recording. Importantly the VPC-FH1 has a 1cm CMOS chip wile this model has to do with a 0.4cm version. If you're not bothered about the true HD capture or can cope with a smaller range of features then the TH1 is certainly a nice camera to use. However, the real problem for the TH1 is that it sits uncomfortably in the middle of a range, neither one thing nor the other.
It's more expensive than the Flip Mino HD and Kodak Zi6 yet cheaper than its full HD brother the FH-1. It doesn't offer a massive step up in video quality from the budget models and isn't close to the quality of the full HD version.
There are some advantages over the lower end recorders such as the 30x zoom and large, bright LCD screen, but the end product doesn't differ massively. If you can afford the extra go for a Full HD and model you'll be much happier with the results; as for the still performance don't even bother.
If the Sanyo was positioned as a video camera alone it would have recorded an average score; not bad, but not great. However, you're supposed to be able to use the TH1 as a stills camera too and in this respect the quality just isn't good enough.

Do sync errors affect updates
I've had the HTC one on Verizon since October and still on 4.2.2. I noticed that when I go to accounts and sync, my Google account has a red sync icon. When I go in and 'Sync Now', everything seems to sink. When I back out, at the bottom of the screen it reads Sync Error. Could this be interfering with my updates?

Re: Do sync errors affect updates
Have you tried removing your Google account and signing back in to fix the sync issue?
To answer your question, it shouldn't affect any software updates.

All human life is surrounded by a variety of phenomena.
Physicists are studying these yavleniy- their tools are the mathematical formulas and the achievements of their predecessors.
Natural phenomena
The study of nature helps treat wiseravailable resources, to discover new sources of energy. So, geothermal heat almost the entire Greenland. The word "physics" derives from the Greek root "physis", which means "nature." Thus, the very physics - the science of nature and natural phenomena.
Next, in the future!
Often physics literally "ahead of time"discovering the laws that are used only for decades (and even centuries) later. Nikola Tesla discovered the laws of electromagnetism, which are used today. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered radium with little or no support, in unimaginable conditions for a modern scientist. Their discoveries have helped save tens of thousands of lives. Now physicists around the world are focused on the issues of the universe (macrocosm) and the smallest particles of matter (nanotechnologies, microcosm).
Understanding the world
The most important engine of humanity iscuriosity. That is why the experiments in the Large Hadron Collider have such a high value and are sponsored by Union of 60 states. There is a real opportunity to uncover the secrets of mankind.
Physics - the science of the fundamental. This means that any discoveries of physics can be used in other areas of science and technology. A small opening in one industry can dramatically affect all the "neighboring" the industry as a whole. In physics, the popular practice of research teams of scientists from different countries, adopted a policy of aid and cooperation.
The mystery of the universe, matter a great worriedphysicist Albert Einstein. He proposed the theory of relativity, which explains that the gravity field bend space and time. The apogee of the theory was the famous formula E = m * C * C, the binding energy of the mass.
math Union
Physics is based on the latest mathematicalinstruments. Often mathematics open abstract formula, bringing new equations from existing, applying higher levels of abstraction, and the laws of logic, making bold hypotheses. Physicists watching the development of mathematics, and scientific discoveries sometimes abstract science to help explain the hitherto unknown natural phenomena.
It happens, and vice versa - the physical opening of the pushmathematicians to create new hypotheses and logical apparatus. Contact Physics and mathematics - one of the most important scientific disciplines of physics underpins credibility.

He will carry it around and chew on it, but if it moves he drops and leaves it. The batteries go dead pretty quick too. I'm just having him play with it now and when he gets real comfortable with it then I'll put batteries back in and see what happens. Other dog doesn't like it at all.
My 7 month old golden retriever had this thing ripped up in 10 min of playing with it. Considering it cost $11.99 then the shipping and the wait... Not a good product for a dog. :( very disappointed.
Looked like a wonderful toy. My dog loved it. But it broke in three days. He pulled the rope out even though he was supervised when he had it.
When we first got the toy he seemed interested in it, but now he just ignores it. The movement is not enough to keep him interested.

Zero Hour is the dazzling new novel in the (numbered) 1 New York Times-bestselling series from the grand master of adventure, Clive Cussler. A new energy source holds the promise to change the world. If it doesn't kill it first. It's called zero point energy, and it really exists - a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however. Until one scientist discovers a way. Or at least he thinks he has. The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren't able to find and destroy them - and soon - the world will be on the threshold of a new era of catastrophe and unchecked volcanism.

The ailing music retailer HMV has crashed to an £80m after-tax loss as its departing chief executive, Simon Fox, ran up big charges in his final results.
The company took a £38.7m write-down on its former joint venture with the electronic book retailer aNobii, and there were £16m in costs from restructuring and store closures. HMV said last week that Mr Fox would quit next month and be replaced by Trevor Moore. Even without exceptional, HMV made a pre-tax loss of £16.2m. Revenues fell by 12 per cent on a like-for-like basis to £873m, as falling sales of recorded music failed to offset growth in live music.
Mr Fox is "confident" that HMV has "a secure future" and forecast profits of at least £10m next year, as the group focuses on selling entertainment devices. But Philip Dorgan, at Panmure Gordon, warned: "HMV is not out of the woods yet."
HMV's shares, whose value has plummeted by more than 95 per cent in three years, closed at 3.6p. Its net debt of £167m is 10 times its market value of £16m.
