From killing pesticide disclosure to putting Mr. PLDC in charge of Ways and Means to giving the PI attorneys a giant gift by letting lifeguard lawsuit protection expire, the Hawai'i State Legislature really P'O'd a lot of people this session.
Labor Dept asked to investigate longline fishers for violations
On September 19th, Trinette Furtado requested that the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations look into what she described as "the widespread Violations of the Hawai'i labor laws by the longline fishing industry." Furtado alleges that, "Unlike reputable native Hawaiian and other local fishing outfits, these labor violations oppress workers, deceive consumers and undercut competition within the market."
The longline fishing industry is composed of fishing vessels which engage in fishing and fishing related activities including transportation of products and housing of foreign fish workers within the territorial waters of the State of Hawai'i. They use state resources managed by the Department of Land and Natural Resource and Harbors Division of the Department of Transportation's controlled and operated state harbors. They unload their products in Honolulu where they are sold and enter into the Hawai'i market and beyond.
As has been reported previously and recently in the press, many longline fishing boat owners use labor recruiters to recruit fish workers from Third World countries. These workers come from subsistence or other impoverished backgrounds and have no familiarity with Hawai'i wage and labor laws.
They are generally ineligible to admission into the United States. Instead, using an obscure practice of the Department of Homeland Security, employers obtain standard deportation forms from Homeland Security which require that these workers be "detained-on-board" by the boat owner and/or captain.
According to Furtado, "Individuals employed in these enterprises generally are told they will be paid $300/month for a twenty-four month term. However, often, $100/month is deducted to give the labor recruiter and the remainder is kept by the boat owner until the end of the term, many deducting meal and other expenses from the amounts."
"We have come across no evidence that these workers are paid weekly or bi-weekly or that they are given a regular accounting of their wages and deductions," continued Furtado.
Furtado attached the names of numerous individuals being "detained on board" and examples of worker contracts backing up her allegations.
This practice of allowing fishing workers working in Hawai'i waters and using Hawai'i docks to be "detained on board" violates both Hawaiian values and the Hawai'i constitution, according to Furtado.
Kaua'i Election Could Trigger Senate Reorganization
The 2015 senate coup and power-grab lead by the anti-environmental senators, Jill Tokuda and Gil Keith-Agaran resulted in Kaua'i senator Ron Kouchi taking over the senate presidency. At that time senators who weren't playing ball with development and chemical companies were ousted from their committee chair positions.
But on Kaua'i there is dissatisfaction with Sen. Kouchi for his "bullying" style, use of state funds for cronies, and lack of responsiveness on Kaua'i issues. For example, although some money was allocated to fix Kauai's horrendous traffic problems, residents are angry that Kouchi has not used his leadership position to actually move improvements forward.
Residents are also upset that Kouchi voted in favor of Sen Tokuda's bill to defund affordable housing and DLNR. This 2015 bill was crafted to obscure Kouchi and Tokuda's fingerprints. It removed the conveyance tax set-aside for DLNR and capped the amount going to affordable housing. Then it funded the lost DLNR for 2 years. On July 1, 2017 DLNR will abruptly lose $30million in funding as a result. But at that time, Tokuda and Kouchi will act surpised and shocked, I tell you, shocked!
Challenger Kanoe Ahuna wants affordable housing and DLNR funding restored. She sees both as issues important to Kaua'i residents.
According to Ahuna, "Affordable housing and housing for our kūpuna is a top priority for Kaua'i residents. Instead of taking money away from this, I will work to get us the funding we need to ensure our residents and their children are not priced out of their own birthplace."
She added, "Removing thirty million dollars from the DLNR budget is going to have a devastating impact on Kaua'i residents. We depend on state parks like Kōkeʻe, Polihale, Hāʻena and the Napali Coast for our family recreation.
Hawai'i already spends less on natural resource protection (despite being dependent on it for tourism) than many other states. For instance, Oregon with 2.8 times the population spends 6.7 times as much on resource protection And tourism isn't even in its top 10 industries.
Kouchi support the bill which allowed companies such as AirBnB (a donor to his campaign) to collect transient vacation rental taxes without disclosing the possibly illegal (unpermited) TVR owners. In response, Ahuna while agreeing that the missing TAT revenue was a problem, expressed concern about the role of illegal TVRs driving up home prices and removing homes from the local inventory.
"Vacation rentals are an important part of our tourism economy, however illegal vacation rentals threaten housing and job security for our local families, and by not paying to state and county tax dollars then burdens our local residents through taxing through other means."
Kouchi using his position for business dealings has also created scandal. He inserted special interest deals into the 2016 budget that benefit his associate, Kevin M. Showe. According to the Star Advertiser:
In addition to the proposed Kapua deal, senators also inserted language into the Senate draft of the state budget bill this year to provide $5 million to Kauai County to buy a Kauai apartment complex called the Courtyards at Waipouli that is owned by one of Showe's companies.
Courtyards at Waipouli is a workforce housing project developed by Showe under a 2007 agreement with the County of Kauai that required Showe to provide affordable housing as a condition of rezoning for a resort project called Kauai Lagoons.
Showe's company K D Waipouli LLC developed the 82-unit Courtyards at Waipouli, and Kouchi represented K D Waipouli before the Kauai County Board of Water Supply in 2009 on issues related to the project, county records show.
Kouchi, who was appointed to the state Senate in 2010 and became Senate president last year, has done business with Showe for years. Kouchi has invested with Showe, and worked for at least seven years for Showe's companies as a community relations representative, according to state and county records.
Kouchi's donors (and he collected a whopping $87,561.78 on his last disclosure) are a who's who of construction, tobacco, insurance, and timeshare PACs including AirBnB and a Monsanto lobbyist.
Ahuna's donors appear to be family (Apana) friends and residents of Kaua'i.
Big Five A&B gets legislature to overrule Court
When Native Hawaiian Legal Corp won a landmark case against A&B forcing A&B to return East Maui stream water, the decision was hailed as a step forward in reining in a missionary company whose environmentally damaging practices have continued for 140 years. A&B has traditionally controlled enough legislators to get away with anything. But finally, the Court called a halt on their exploitation of the environment and Hawaiians.
But wait!
A&B induced legislators friendly to them, in particular, Joe Souki and Kyle Yamashita, to sponsor legislation to overrule the court decision on the "holdover" permits. DLNR invented the status "holdover" so that A&B could pull millions of gallons per day from East Maui for 13 years without doing the environmental assessment that is required by law. The court ruled that yes, this was a fiction and that DLNR couldn't invent a special category of permit designed to excuse A&B from complying with the water rules.
A&B, through the Farm Bureau, then issued a highly misleading flyer to the legislature listing entities with "revocable" permits in an attempt to confuse legislators into thinking that HB2501 applied to other entities. But the fact is, that only A&B has "holdover" permits and this bill has no effect on anyone else. When some of the entities mentioned on the flyer were interviewed they not only didn't know their names had been used but were highly incensed that they had been used to support a bill that they opposed.
Kahea had this to say:
The people of East Maui have long awaited the full return of water to their streams. Almost all of their water has been taken by Alexander & Baldwin Company, which has been diverting millions of gallons of water every day for decades primarily for its commercial sugar production. We know there is more than enough water to ensure diversified agriculture (including hemp) on Maui, for healthy streams and a vibrant taro-growing community. There is more water flowing through the streams of East Maui every day than is consumed on the entire island of O'ahu. Now that A&B has announced its last sugar plantation will close by the end of 2016 and the courts have ruled the state improperly allowed A&B to continue diverting water from public land without permits, we expect the streams to flow again.
But the streams have not been fully restored. Despite ongoing litigation which has invalidated their water permits in addition to an incomplete contested case, A&B is using its billion-dollar political influence to aggressively pursue a bill in the state legislature to evade a court ruling against them. Proposed measure HB2501 would allow A&B to divert an unlimited amount of water indefinitely without environmental review or mitigation for the harm to East Maui residents who rely on that water for drinking, bathing, cooking, and growing taro.
To begin to restore the balance in our environment and justice in our community, A&B's "water theft" bill (HB2501) cannot be adopted into law.
Sen Gabbard killed the senate version of the bill but the House passed HB2501, helped by Speaker Souki and an astonishing lack of critical thinking by the House members.
As the House bill crossed over to the Senate for another bite of the apple, A&B concentrated on convincing senators that overruling the court decision would help food production on Maui. Never mind that they intend to grow biofuel crops and perhaps lease a small amount of land to a cattle operation. Oh, and lease 1,000 acres to Mayor Arakawa to make sure he continues supporting them.
Additionally, A&B appears to have continued water diversions despite the court invalidating their permits.
Nonetheless, the senate explicitly removed A&B from HB2501 which left it legislating A&B's cover story (e.g. nothing, since no one else had a holdover permit.) Apparently A&B and the Farm Bureau did such a good job getting the senator's completely bamboozled that they now had a bill that was unnecessary but which they thought was protecting small water users with revocable permits – water users who had never asked for the bill but had only been used as cover for A&B's special interest bill.
As was expected, the bill went to conference committee and A&B was put back into HB2501 making it once again, an illegal bill designed to help a single company. (A no-no in the Lege and the reason the State Supreme Court invalidated the Superferry Act 2)
Coincidentally, the day prior, A&B announced they would release water in the seven most contentious streams of East Maui. Legislators hailed this as a selfless act – without understanding A&B was only partially obeying the court order requiring cessation of water diversions. The Court voided A&B's permit to divert this water. A&B's PR is indeed masterful.
The most charitable interpretation of the conference committee's action is that the legislators brokered a deal whereby A&B released the most contentious of water diversions in exchange for getting their special interest bill passed.
The less charitable interpretation is that many senators have taken quite a bit of money from A&B and know that A&B controls the Forward Progress Super PAC with its $10,000,000 donor PAC. Babes Against Biotech did the research:
As the Native Hawaiian Legal Corp said:
"Over one hundred years ago, shrewd and politically-savvy sugar barons acquired control of vast amounts of land and resources to exploit for their commercial enterprises. … Today, history repeats itself, as A&B has once again used its clout to entice certain Hawaii state legislators and agencies to defy — even collude to overturn — a court order declaring A&B's East Maui diversion of any streams flowing across 33,000 acres of state ceded lands for its commercial enterprise to be illegal."
But wait! There's more!
The House under Speaker Souki, decided to protect A&B and HB2501 from further legal action by defunding the Native Hawaiian Legal Corp. in the judicial supplemental funding bill, SB2102 . Yes. Speaker Souki's House not only created a special interest bill undermining the court decision on water, but is also attempting make sure that the illegal bill won't be challenged by defunding the public interest law firm which won the case in the first place.
Somehow we suspect this will not stop the plethora of environmental and Hawaiian organizations from challenging HB2501 as a special interest bill created for the benefit of a single company.
Corruption at the top of the Hawai'i Pesticide Division
The large chemical companies are challenging Hawai'i county laws mandating pesticide buffer zones and introduce "right to farm" bills galore because, they say, pesticides are regulated by the Department of Agriculture Pesticide Division headed by Thomas Matsuda.
In an explosive release of phone transcripts, citizen investigators at the Facebook group, "Maui's Dirty Little Secrets" show that the Pesticide Branch is not enforcing the EPA rules on pesticides and is, in fact, dragging their feet on known contamination sites and spraying regimes violating the label instructions. It is illegal to use pesticides in a manner inconsistent with label instructions which have the force of law.
Monsanto awards itself Wildlife Habitat "certification"
Monsanto has been trumpeting its award from the Wildlife Habitat Council – a PR invention by the worlds most egregious polluters. Their website appears to be created by the same company that created Great Ecology's website. Great Ecology is a corporate PR company.
According to a website critical of the Wildlife Habitat Council, its members include major polluters such as Koch Industries, Bayer, Dow, Monsanto itself, BASF, Exxon, Dupont and more. The following is a partial list of members reproduced from the site.
Ige makes deal to get his friend a job
Word on the street is that Governor David Ige struck a deal with UH President David Lassner to get the governor's friend, developer lobbyist Carleton Ching, a job as UH director of land development. The price? Vetoing HB553 which would have given graduate student state employees the right to collectively bargain.
Lege cut back on DoH vector control – now Big Island has Dengue
In this November 9, 2015 interview with Dr. Lorrin Pang, who successfully eradicated Dengue from Maui island in 2001, he talks about the Legislature cutting funds for disease vector (e.g. mosquitoes etc) control. We can hope that his effective and hands-on approach will be able to stop the Big Island infection and that the Legislature quickly gives him the money to do it. According to Senator Kalani English, there is $1.5 million that can be used.
Dept of Health dropping the ball on Big Island dengue?
Dengue is a serious disease caused by a bite from an infected mosquito. With many popular surf spots in overseas endemic Dengue areas, we generally have a few cases brought back every year. On Maui aggressive steps, under Public Health officer Dr. Lorrin Pang, to prevent Dengue from taking hold in our local mosquitoes has isolated these cases and prevented a recurrence of the 2001 situation where East Maui mosquitoes became infected with Dengue.
Prior to that, the last known Autochthonous (caused by our mosquitoes rather than contracted overseas) dengue infections in Hawaii were in 1944. Allowing dengue to get a toe hold in our home-grown mosquitoes, would be a disaster. For instance the island of Bali has yearly outbreaks which fill their hospitals to 100% occupancy.
But now dengue has taken hold on Big Island.
Elle Cochran files complaint against Forward Progress, PRP & Buenconsejo
PRP and its successor organization, Forward Progress (both bankrolled by the Carpenters Union slush fund, Hawaii Carpenters Recovery Market Fund, are yet again the subject of allegations for dirty dealings and illegal actions.
Maui County Councilmember Elle Cochran filed a complaint today with the Campaign Spending Commission against Pacific Resource Partnership ("PRP"), Forward Progress, and former Maui County Council candidate Butch Ka'ala Buenconsejo. The complaint alleges that Forward Progress and Buenconsejo engaged in illegal campaign coordination during the 2014 election year. It further alleges that Forward Progress made unauthorized expenditures and contributions to Buenconsejo's campaign. The complaint seeks to have fines imposed upon PRP/Forward Progress and its responsible individual directors in an amount three times the illegal expenditures made to Buenconsejo. It further seeks to ban PRP from organizing or operating as a Super PAC under any name in the State of Hawai'i.

Wonderful location and views. A stylish, comfortable hotel I would like a towelling dressing gown in the room
Swimming Pool It is not a case of 'not liking' - if you are asked me to rate the restaurant I would have stated 'poor to fair'. Being a person with immense experience in food and wine - and taking groups to many European wine regions, I thought the hotel and service superb but the restaurant was in no way compatible. The 'degustation menu' was extremely disappointing, the wines were not served at the right te
I enjoyed the ambience, particularly the terrace for lunch. I enjoyed the architecture of the hotel. I enjoyed the view from my room which was spacious and very comfortable, especially the pillows. the food was good and the senior waiter was excellent. Nothing
The wonderful welcome complete with a glass of port on the terrace - the best check in ever Lack of coffee table in junior suite
The Port was great! Location in the valley and comfort of our room with our own balcony--excellent. Cleaning staff was prompt and responsive, very nice. The lighting was a little dim, it was not easy to read. Could use brighter bulbs at least at the bedside.
Very peaceful and tranquil
It is one of the best hotels that I have already stayed. It is in a calm, beautiful and romantic place. It is wonderful!
the room and the view
Peace and quiet in a beautiful location. The hotel is delightful and charming. We had a room with a terrace where we could enjoy views of the river. The restaurant was beautifully presented but the kitchen did not live up to it's over-priced menu. We were very disappointed.
Excellent view over the river Douro. Very good location to relax in a extravagant/luxory ambiance. Small balcony with two chairs or the canvas chairs near the pool let the Portwine taste even better. it is difficult to discover surrounding area by foot (no boardwalk, no hiking trails). Friendly staff, yet poorly trained.
Very quiet hotel No internet access, TV set a bit old
The Sunday's buffet lunch in the Hotel is fabulous.
Excellent value for money. Extremely nice staff, difficult to find anywhere else. Very interesting old town with a relaxing atmosphere.
Conveniently situated as a base to explore the Douro valley. Helpful staff and excellent value for money.
Good price for a 4 star hotel.
Location and the city. Staff at the gym very nice. Unconfortable beds, rooms are a bit old and lack of decoration, the hotel allows people not installed in the hotel to use the pool, so when we intended to use the poll we had to sit on the flor cause there were no chirs available for hosts...
Everything perfect for romance. The Villa option is apart from the main building but you have full privacy in return.
Beautifully designed in a very nice location. Excellent staff; friendly, helpful, efficient. Great breakfast and dining experiences. A highlight of our stay in Portugal.
The hotel has an excellent location and an impressive architecture. The staff is friendly but not professional style. The facilities don't work in an efficient way. The hotel is taciturn and with a lack of life and music. The spa is badly managed and the mechanical equipment often broken. Poor lighting.
Location, View, Confort of the Room, Spa facilities, Silence and Breakfast. - Too dark in the room, - Restaurant for Dinner- food too heavy, lacking smoothness. - Check out- cold and not answering to a complaint I had (water leakeage in the shower room).
The design of the hotel is just gorgeous, and I cannot find the right words to describe the feeling you experience from lying in the bed simply contemplating the most spectacular view over the river and the vineyards... (we got ourselves a Riverview Room, please do the same!). The spa... well, what can I say about the spa...? Is just amazing....!
The peace and quiet - almost never seeing another guest, even though you were almost full. The food was very good The "background" music was both a poor choice and played far too loud, especially in the restaurant.
The hotel design, the beautiful scenario of the douro hills and the overall tranquility. The untidiness of the room. The layout and in-room glass partitions not allow a desirable level of intimacy/privacy. No particular attention or pampering from hotel staff.
Very charming and confortable
A charming Hotel surounded by vineyard. The original house as been restaured giving the guess a mix of modern confort with a taste of tradition. Our Bedroom was big, well decorated, and very confortable. Bathroom was a very nice surprise very modern with only the finest materials. A final toutch was given by the Occitanne products. The breakfast is served in a large room with an excellent view. The buffet was five stars, we love the natural peaches. We finished with a nespresso coffee.
When we had minor medical emergency, the staff responded immediately with true concern, which they showed throughout our stay. Pool and turkish bath were heavenly, very clean and well maintained. New carpet fumes in the hallway outside our room detracted from otherwise perfect stay.
gorgeous room, cool detail of having a window from the bathroom to the room and to the perfect douro view. unique view from the bar terrace at night. the swimming pool outside is actually a plastic tank. as usually, the single rooms are the least best ones, yet we pay the same as a couple.
rooms were to hot almost suffocating; breakfast incredible poor; parking for mini cars
Great location, easy to find, great views ( from all rooms). All facilities were great. Room was 2nd to none with lovely balcony. Limited parking at front, but we still got a spot quite easy.
Very good room, bathroom well equipped, and a very good quality breakfast.
Reception staff very helpful. Breakfast very good. Building light, airy and spacious. Restaurant very disappointing, let down by inefficient service and long waiting for menus, drinks, food.
I mostly liked the confort of the hotel (room included). The breakfast was fine. The breakfast room should be more sound efficient, any conversation we have over breakfast you can ear it all over the room.
We liked the countryside location yet convenient for Lamego and motorway access to the Douro valley. The propriertor herself gave us tips on what to see in various places. Our room was a thoughtful convertion of an outbuilding and gave us a sitting area as well as bedroom space on a mezzanine floor. Swimming pool about 100 metres walk from main house. Guests should be aware that the evening meal is 37.5 euros. It is reasonable value for money for a gourmet meal in a special location but the full meal is the only option offered.
I would recommend anybody in the area to stay at this hotel. This is not 5* Sheraton with plasma TV and state of the art air con but it is 5* character and comfort and friendliness. The food if you stay for dinner is very local and amazing good value and breakfast is as good as you will get anywhere.The building has been restored magnificently and if you are near the Douro it is a must.Although booked for one night did extend the booking to two nights as we were so impressed
The hotel is very beautiful designed and decorated, however do not let beauty mislead you. The clerk tried to be very helpful and to compensate us for all the trouble the hotel caused. When we were there - they had 2 weddings in halls situated next to the guest rooms. They allowed loud music to play until after midnight! We were there with 2 small children and it was horrible. It seems that they just do not care about their guests. the room was very smelly (smell like cat pee) and there was a showercup hang on the door).the room have a window and a door that opened to the outdoor dining room - so you couldn't open them as you had no privacy - and that was a major problem as there was no airconditioner in the room!!! I would not recommened this place to anyone.
We enjoyed an unbelievable warm atmoshere in an environmet that was full of history. The decoration of the rooms and the whole area gives a strong flavor of Portugese history which we really appreciated. The dinner we had was a perfect example to learn about traditional cusine of this region - we will come back - quite soon - to stay a bit longer and relax.
Charming staff, wonderful common areas. Large room and bath. Wonderful setting on a large farm Hard to find
Undiscovered gem. The hotel is a true notbleman's century old family room that is still occupied by the owners (couple with 2 children). It is in the middle of a huge farm / family estate (the drive from the gate to the house is > 2km). Impressive property with 3 large and formal sitting rooms and 3 large and formal dining rooms. Large bedrooms in the basement. Decoration possibly too ornate / kitsch for some. The hotel is not on the gps and is hard to find. Would be better if they give the gps information of a nearby loation instead (E.G. gas station), so that they only need to give instruction on how to reach the hotel on the last km.
During our five weeks in Spain and Portugal this amazing quinta was by far the highlight of our hotel experiences on this or any other trip The building itself is furnished with such style and elegance we felt we were staying in a castle. The really fun thing is that many of the decorative items in the lovely rooms are actually for sale. It was like having a totally private, unhurried shopping experience! The English-speaking staff were extremely attentive, welcoming and helpful. We were encouraged to walk around the extensive vineyards and orchards and pick all the fruit we wanted. I cannot say enough good things about this amazing destination. It was totally awesome...we didn't want to leave, and are already talking about returning.
The hotel was very clean welcoming and of a very modern and up to date design. Our room had a beautiful view across to the River Duoro. There is a restaurant where we had dinner, the first night we had a 3 course meal which wasn,t cheap but it was good, the second night we just had an omelette and desesert, which was very reasonable, so you have the choice of what to eat. The breakfast was very good, with a good choice, including fresh home made cakes, and fresh coffee and orange juice. We were situated 15 mins from the nearest town, where you can take a boat trip of train ride to see the beautiful landscape all around. We also visited a nearby Quinta where Port was produced, very interesting. The only minus about the hotel is the side entrance up a steep ramp, which would not be suitable for older or disabled travellers.
Contemporary, stylish hotel in an excellent location for visiting the Douro River valley and wine regions. Comfortable room, nice bath and good views, Wifi worked and English is spoken by helpful front desk staff. Parking was convenient and free. Breakfast was good but not outstanding. The steep lane to access the second floor reception area (mentioned by others) is not a problem unless you are a very mature guest with tons of luggage. The house restaurant offers traditional dishes and is not up to the quality standards of the rest of the hotel--we would not eat there again. However, directly across the street, is one of the finest restaurants in the region--Restaurante D.O.C.
The surroundings are stunning, the hotel was particularly easy to find and quiet. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The welcoming glass of port was a nice touch There is nothing to criticize inside the hotel. There is a steep climb to reception and parking space is limited.
The view - magnificent. I was appalled that an otherwise rather decent hotel - new, clean, with a great view, would have the very nasty smell of the kitchen practically coming into the room through a couple of chimneys located right in front of the common balcony! Also, I found it very unpleasant to receive a phone call to the room urging me to check out, one minute past midday, as I was actually leaving the room.
The hotel is in a quaint little village and the view is absolutely gorgeous. Staff were incredibly professional at all times. The rooms were not very large, but still quite comfortable. We had booked for 2 nights, decided to stay a 3rd (changing rooms in the process) and all was handled for us (we were out the hotel the whole day). Hint: if you're a smoker, stay in the 1st floor (intermediate). It's the only floor with balconies and the view is not that different from 2nd floor. The ramp for accessing the hotel is quite steep, which might make it unsuitable for disabled people. Carrying luggage might be cumbersome, but hotel staff will help you if asked. Also, would have been nice to have in-room WiFi and a bit more variety in the breakfast buffet.
Design of hotel. Service in restaurant
The bed was very comfortable Breakfast was served 30 minutes later than advertised. Water sports on the river (jet skis) directly in front of the hotel made a dreadful noise all afternoon - almost until sunset & even the double glazing in the room could not exclude the noise. The "dream view" is more imaginary than real!
The hotel was very modern and great for the price. A nice base for visiting the Duoro Valley.
The views across the river Douro and the modern hotel room/hotel facilities. The only thing that would be lovely to have is a pool.
Its quietness Access is too bad with a long and steep staircase. My room was too small, with only one chair and scarce view to the scenery
The location is awesome! The road that lead up to the hotel was very narrow and the turns were very tight. They need to update directions to make it easier to find.
All in all a very pleasant experience. Superb ambiance and kitchen and friendly staff. Really nobad points related to the stay. In the quinta shop, do Pego should consider the prices for their products. For instance 20 euro for a lbv (compared to Fonseca 2003 13 euro) is a bit difficult to justify.
An absolutely fabulous setting in vineyards overlooking the duoro. Modern and very well appointed hotel with super friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Great infinity pool again with those great views. Informative wine tasting as part of the experience and very good fixed-menu dining. Only a small point but furniture in guest lounge and dining room not as tasteful as the rest of the hotel.
The personal touch! Filippe (and Karsten!) goes out of his way to make your stay a memorable experience.
Location - overlooking the Douro river. It's quiet and gorgeous. Hotel staff are young, helpful and attentive. They sell their own Porto wine. Beatuiful swimming pool. It's a good place to get disconnected.
Much more than an over-night stay. Wonderful location and river views. The owner is so helpful and proud to share his home. We are looking forward to a return trip.
Everything was great - hospitality of the owners, room, landscape, food, wine
The view and the location are spectacular. We liked the beautifully designed (modern) rooms and furniture and the fact that we could take long walks in the vineyards surrounding the Quinta. The dogs were barking right beneath our window in the middle of the night and something must be wrong with the pipings: whenever somebody was taking a shower it was so noisy it could have been in our room. And: dinner isn't actually worth the money (30 Euros p.p.).
For any one who enjoys Port, as a working Quinta it provides a fabulous insight into the production of Port wine. The place is very well appointed with stunning views and the owners are extremely helpful and friendly The access road is VERY dangerous as it winds its way up the mountain. It is narrow and with lethal drops of many 100's of feet just inches from the vehicle. Very un-nerving for any one with vertigo or who is not 100% sure of their driving abilities
The place is new and clean, smells good. The owners Carlos and Madalena are very special people of the kind you dont see very often. I wish I had more time to stay there at least one more day. Not really, but the road after you leave the highway could be better.
Amazing views. Very welcoming hosts. Lovely home cooked food and great wine. Pool is a little small.
The hospitable, yet not overbearing, attention from the Quinta's family-run owners was much appreciated. The atmosphere was elegant and sophisticated, but at the same time a relaxed and laid back approach was recognized and welcomed. The proximity to local towns afforded day trip excursions, and the remoteness of the Quinta allowed for much needed seclusion and quiet down time. While enjoying down time, the Quinta offered a wide array of activities on site to accommodate any age level and wine connoisseur. Not enough can be said of the personable and knowledgeable owners, however. Note: The owner's farm dog was equally a treat, having left our own family pet at home. No issues.
The views and the rooms, also food was fairly good The approach to the hotel was dangerous you had to travel along a dirt track only just wide enough for the clio I was driving and often it was very steep with shear drop on one side. Would be dangerous to attempt in the dark and hotelier said that we should have booked for dinner 24 hours before which we were not aware and were not going to attempt to leave and return in the dark,
Outstanding property in idyllic location (albeit up a bit of a hair-raising track). The views are fantastic as is the high standard of the design and elegance of this house, it's as good as shown in the publicity pictures if not better. Carlos is a great host, always friendly and offers excellent advice on where to visit and eat. Thoroughly enjoyable visit. My only criticism, and this is probably down to the English reserve, is that the dining area consists of one long table (with fantastic views I should add) and the seating is always arranged so that you are ontop of the other guests - fine if you know them or speak their language but not so good if you want a relaxing or romantic meal.
Excellent stay! Fantastic views over the Douro valley, great home made food, wine and porto from own production.
Room and facilities were superb and memorable. Views were breathtaking and worthy of many photos. Wines were first-rate and the tour of the facility was very interesting. Can even walk among the vines. Glad we stayed there! This is not about the hotel itself but the drive to it on a very harrowing and treacherous road. The road is a switchback and very narrow, only wide enough for one narrow car but is considered two-way. This makes the 15 km. drive to the hotel about an hour! The infrastructure needs to be improved, because the guests are absolutely exhausted (speaking for ourselves) by the time of arrival to the hotel.
The environment The air conditiong was not functioning well!
Helpful and knowledgeable staff and wonderful setting.
The Quinta itself is very beautiful, with plenty of spaces to explore and great views over the Douro Valley. Nothing to point. Excellent experience.
Stunning sorrounding, super friendly staff, a real gem. Be aware that you have a 25 minutes ride off the main street in the Douro vineyards. Not negative, just be aware....
Very poor breakfast (choise)
Kindness Staff and see sight No cold minibar in my room
Very large and clean rooms, very nice restaurant and staff. Great food.
The owners are lovely. Limited English is spoken here and throughout the town but this just adds to the authenticity of the experience. Great little place!
Cheap and fairly cheerful. The room had a fridge and a balcony. The pet chihuahua was very friendly. Parking was very easy. They are just up the road from the municipal pool, which was a pleasant and cheap way to cool off. No lift/elevator, so you might have to drag luggage up two flights. The bedding was somewhat sub-par (lumpy pillows, rough sheets). The hotel doesn't have a pool! It is just down the road, and is a public pool...
Excellent dinner, quiet, large room which was very comfortable, and hardly anyone around. I woke up a 7 am to go for a walk, but couldn't leave until the receptionist arrived at eight.

Could the iconic Darlington Raceway, which has hosted NASCAR events since 1950, be in jeopardy of losing its place on the schedule?
DARLINGTON, S.C. – The Southern 500 is safe – for now.
Despite speculation that Darlington Raceway was in jeopardy of losing its date on the Sprint Cup schedule – the second longest running event on the tour -- track president Chip Wile insists that's simply not the case.
"I'm very confident that we'll be racing here in 2015," Wile said. "I'm confident that we'll be racing here for a long time."
On Saturday, Darlington Raceway unveiled its strategy to honor its rich history in NASCAR. As the second oldest venue on the Cup tour, the track is hoping to build on the tradition that is Darlington with eyes on the future as well.
"I've seen a lot of things that have surprised me and I've seen things that have taught me not to be shocked what happens next, but that would really surprise me if that was to happen.
"Darlington has a lot of history in our sport. I think there's a spot for Darlington going into the future, but in today's world, you just have to take things one step at a time, and today's Southern 500 is what we're here running and operating.
"Chip talking about the future of the sport – and the future Darlington is a big step. We've worked together to blend it all in and see what happens next. Chip is very aggressive in building a future for Darlington and that's a good thing."
While talk persists about changes to the 2015 Cup schedule, Helton says, "We'll see how that unfolds". He acknowledged that the current portion of the calendar – and the challenge of juggling holidays, competing sporting events and the weather – certainly plays a role.
It has also been suggested that NASCAR change up the Chase races allowing for a variety of tracks to share the premium dates. Certainly, there are venues that could benefit from high-profile races that help determine the outcome of the Sprint Cup championship.
"The Chase format, originally, and the changes we made in it were made around the current schedule then and now," Helton said. "Just like when we make changes around the rules and the format changes to shake things up sometimes that comes in the form of a schedule change, too, to shake things up.
"I think that's in our hands to collectively do correctly going forward and we'll see how it shakes out."
The key to Darlington's survival according to Helton will be the track's ability to remain "relevant" as well as evolving into a "destination" for fans in the stands as well as those relegated to watching the product on T.V.
To the general sports fan, NASCAR's second oldest venue has been compared to a Fenway Park or a Wrigley Field. Wile, who was promoted to president of the raceway last August after a year with International Speedway Corporation's Motor Racing Network, maintains he's up to the task of building Darlington Raceway into a "destination".
"Why do people go to Lambeau Field even if they're not a football fan," Wile asked. "I've been to Lambeau Field I and don't cheer for the Green Bay Packers. I've been to Wrigley Field. I'm not a big baseball fan. But you go because of what the place means to the sport. If you're a fan of football, if you're a fan of baseball you go to those places that have that.
"This has that. Darlington has that. And we're going to build a platform that makes this a must come to event. We have a five-year plan. We have a 10-year plan and I've worked really closely with the people of ISC to create that plan and I think in 2015 you'll see a lot of things that we roll out through the next 12 months that will cement our position in the sport."

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- LoanLove.com is a borrower advice website that provides detailed insights into the mortgage industry in a fun and entertaining way. The team at LoanLove.com is devoted to help empower both first time and experienced homeowners with valuable resources, first-class knowledge and connections to top-rated industry professionals and has the mission of helping consumers and borrowers to obtain the latest information on mortgage lending trends, the real estate market and the U.S. financial landscape in order to help them obtain a home loan that they will love. Loan Love's website provides many innovative online tools which are complimented by in depth articles and videos which can enable loan borrowers to find the perfect mortgage loan for their home purchasing needs. A brand new article posted on the loan advice website titled "Is A Down Payment On A House Tax Deductible? (Kind of a Big Deal)" answers many questions loan borrowers may have on mortgage down payments and tax deductible mortgage expenses while providing essential refinancing tips.
Loan Love's article starts off by saying: "Is a down payment on a house tax deductible?" is a common question asked by first-time home buyers. While it would be wonderful if the appropriate answer was "Yes," it's not to be. Buying a home does offer multiple tax deductions, but down payment dollars are not among them. Depending on the specifications of mortgage programs, different down payment percentages apply. Unfortunately, regardless of the mortgage program you want, real estate down payments are not tax deductible."
The article further delves into some of the different down payment minimums home buyers might be faced with when working with various differing loans. Among some of the few mortgages loan borrowers should be aware of include conforming mortgages and government mortgages such as FHA (Federal Housing Administration) or VA (Veterans Affair) home loans. These home loan down payment minimums will ultimately vary, so knowing a loan's down payment minimum requirement is important.
More so, there are different down payments depending on the mortgage loan. What the article explains is that while these rates vary from loan to loan, none of the loans off tax deductibility for home down payments whatsoever. There are, however, a few advantages that come from purchasing a home. Mortgage loans even allow some expenses to be tax deductible, such as:
- Mortgage loan interest.
- Real estate taxes.
- Closing fees that increase the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) of the mortgage loan.
- Mortgage insurance, required on all FHA and VA loans and on conforming or conventional mortgages higher than 80 percent loan-to-value (LTV).
Although down payments on a loan for purchasing a house cannot be deducted, Loan Love reminds loan borrowers that they need not fret when it comes to mortgage down payments. "Wherever you live, check with your state to see if they have some special mortgage programs just for first time homebuyers. Many lenders and state agencies offer more liberal mortgages for first timers. Don't you feel special? You should, as lenders and state governments often try to offer help to first time homebuyers to navigate the confusing waters of home ownership" the article claims.
For more helpful information regarding tax benefits for home owners, please visit LoanLove.com to read the full article.

This is the java-gnome language bindings project. We endeavour to provide a
high quality library you can use to write GTK and GNOME programs. The
underlying APIs are elegantly transformed into Java and carefully documented so
that anyone new to Linux or Open Source can rapidly be on their way to creating
fabulous applications.
This README file is devoted to helping you get started building the bindings
Building java-gnome
For the impatient:
$ tar xjf java-gnome-4.1.2.tar.bz2
$ cd java-gnome-4.1.2
$ ./configure
$ make
But there's a bunch of stuff you probably want to know, so read on!
1. Get the source code
### From a release tarball ###
You can download the latest java-gnome release from the GNOME FTP server at:
Once you've downloaded the latest source tarball:
$ tar xjf java-gnome-4.1.2.tzr.bz2
$ cd java-gnome-4.1.2
And go on to step 2 for details about options you can pass to the
configuration command.
### Or checkout the source ###
If you want a newer version of the code than the tarball you might have, you
can always check it out over the net. We use Bazaar (`bzr`), an advanced
third-generation Distributed Version [or Revision] Control System, to manage
our source code.
Getting a checkout is easy:
$ bzr init-repo java-gnome/
$ cd java-gnome/
$ bzr checkout bzr://research.operationaldynamics.com/bzr/java-gnome/mainline
$ cd mainline/
2. Run `./configure`
The top level directory contains a custom `./configure` which detects your
Operating System variant, sets defaults accordingly, verifies the location of
prerequisites (the various `.jar` files), and finally chooses a Java bytecode
compiler and Java Virtual Machine runtime environment. The configuration
output is a Makefile fragment which is written to `.config` and subsequently
included by the top level `Makefile`.
So run it already:
$ ./configure
### Background ###
The steps necessary to configure and build a Java project are quite different
than those needed to construct a program written in a more traditional
language. Unlike C, for example, there is no need to do substitution across
the codebase nor to worry about conditional compilation; `#ifdef` is not
something we do in Java. This is in no small part because the Java class
libraries and the language itself have been remarkably stable. To build and
run a Java program, however, three things are necessary:
* locate pre-requisite libraries (`.jar`s), and form a `CLASSPATH`;
* locate, validate, and select a Java compiler; and
* locate, validate, and select a Java runtime.
That's it! From there, often a single compiler invocation will take care of
building an entire program, but these preconditions must be satisfied before
compiling is possible. _(Incidentally, tools like Ant are no help with any of
this -- it just takes care of the build part; and don't even think about
suggesting the GNU autotools -- they are a complex, arcane, and bloated
nightmare that don't address with the Java specific challenges at all)_.
At the moment, we use Andrew Cowie's "Equivalence" build system, which is
composed of a straight-forward (if somewhat overweight) Perl program along
with a simple Makefile which together carry out the task of configuring and
building the library. Right now, Gentoo Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora Core
Linux, and Solaris Unix should be detected properly and result in working
configurations. If you are running a different operating system or
distribution, please contact us and we'll add it -- it's just a matter of
identifying the location of a few things. Better yet, look in the `configure`
Perl script -- the places where OS is switched are obvious, and just add what
you need to add, and send us a patch.
### Customizing build options ###
You can override the choices `configure` makes by listing parameters on the
command line, like this:
$ ./configure compiler=ecj runtime=jamvm
This facilitates easily switching between runtimes and compilers for testing.
At the moment, the available selections are:
* `compiler` `-->` javac, ecj
* `runtime` `-->` java, cacao, jamvm, cacao, gij, and kaffe
The whole point of the Equivalence's `configure` script is to figure things
out for you, but if it can't quite figure out where Java is, you can override
it by specifying an alternate location to find a JDK using either
of the following:
* `jdk` -- where to find a traditional Java Development Kit, ie `JAVA_HOME`
* `jamvm` -- path to the JamVM executable
* `cacao` -- path to the CACAO executable
$ ./configure
$ ./configure jdk=/opt/sun-jdk
$ ./configure jamvm=/home/joe/custom/bin/jamvm runtime=jamvm
Your configuration is persistent across builds in that checkout, ie, `make
clean` won't force you to reconfigure (though `make distclean` will). The
`configure` script runs very quickly, so it's no big deal to switch settings
by re-running it.
### Dependencies ###
The java-gnome library depends on the GNOME desktop and is intended for people
wishing to do tight integration with it. In particular, this version of
java-gnome depends on:
* GLib `>= 2.28.0`
* Cairo `>= 1.10.0`
* Pango `>= 1.28.0`
* gtksourceview `>= 2.91.9`
* libnotify `>= 0.7.0`
* gtkspell `>= 3.0`
_This isn't available yet, and GtkSpell support is currently disabled._
* libunique `>= 3.0`
* Enchant `>= 1.4.2`
* librsvg `>= 2.32.0`
3. Build
Once you've configured, compiling java-gnome is as simple as running Make:
$ make
If you're having trouble with something as Make runs and need to debug it, you
can try:
$ V=1 make
This will show you the actual commands being executed (ie, Make's normal
behaviour, which we override for appearances sake and because otherwise the
signal to noise ratio is terrible and you never see warnings). If you're still
stumped, you might try having a look at `.config`, which is where all the Make
variables come from.
The build products end up in `tmp/`:
That's actually enough to go on -- if you're using an IDE like Eclipse you can
just tell it about the `.jar` and then jump right to "Using the Bindings". Or
you can install java-gnome somewhere. Doesn't matter, really.
4. Install
java-gnome 4.1 has the standard `make install` behaviour, and the equally
standard `prefix` option to `./configure`.
### Installing locally
Someone installing it locally (to your home directory, say) might do:
$ ./configure prefix=/home/bloggins
$ make install
and you would end up with:
The default is to send it off to `/usr/local` as you'd expect.
Using `make install` is **compulsory** if you intend to use java-gnome from
anywhere other than "in-place" from the temporary location where it was built.
### Installing to system (for people packaging the library for their distro)
The `install` target understands the `DESTDIR` variable used by packagers to
install to a specified prefix _within_ a temporary directory. Someone writing
an `.ebuild` to create a package for java-gnome on a Gentoo system would
probably end up seeing the following commands being run by Portage, for
./configure prefix=/usr
make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/portage/java-gnome-4.1.2-r2/image install
With a prefix of `/usr` you will end up with:
If you have distro policy issues to deal with, then pass `jardir` and/or
`libdir` overrides to `configure`.
Using the bindings
### Running the "demo"
There are a few _tiny_ and _trivial_ example programs in the `doc/examples/`
directory of the bindings. If you would like to see one, you could compile and
run it by hand, doing something like:
$ javac -classpath tmp/gtk-4.1.jar -d tmp/tests doc/examples/button/ExamplePressMe.java
$ java -classpath tmp/gtk-4.1.jar:tmp/tests button.ExamplePressMe
This shows you how you can reference and use the library after it is built by
`make` into `tmp/`.
Of course, that was _way_ too much typing. Instead, just do this:
$ make demo
`:)`. As usual, use `V=1` to see what it is actually doing.
### Running your own programs
java-gnome has a native component that links tightly against various GNOME
libraries (after all, the whole point is to use the real GTK, not some pseudo
look alike pathetic attempt of a widget toolkit), but we take care of locating
it and loading it for you. So all you need to do to run an application is:
$ java -client -ea \
-classpath /home/bloggins/share/java/gtk-4.1.jar \
Oh, the joys of running Java programs by hand.
java-gnome is now a solid foundation that has been used to develop non-trivial
applications. The architecture and internal design has been well proved, and
the coverage level (relative to the full breadth of the underlying libraries)
is reaching maturity.
Get Involved
If you would like to get involved yourself as an individual, we would welcome
your contribution. See [`HACKING`](HACKING.html). If you are working on an
application, want to learn more, or are just curious, join us online in
`#java-gnome` on `irc.gimp.net`.
Most of all, financial support is necessary to fund the continued development
of the bindings infrastructure and the programmers needed to quickly achieve
the coverage level everyone wishes. If you feel that you would like to be a
part of seeing the Java bindings for GNOME be a success, your timely choice to
contribute to funding the project would be a significant contribution to
bringing the wider Java community to the world of Open Source and Software
Happy coding!

40, Oceanside
Most Popular
Occupation: Hotel sales manager
Height: 5-foot-8
Weight before: 241 (January 2011)
Weight after: 165 (January 2012)
My New Year's resolution in 2011 was to get fit before my 40th birthday, which was Nov. 2. I'd virtually never been below a size 14. I come from a meat and potatoes family and never liked exercise or drinking water. I really gained weight at my previous job. I was stressed out and just ate. I also have a 7-year-old son who liked McDonald's, so I'd take him and eat McDonald's. I just knew I didn't want to be 40 years old and overweight. So, I started Jenny Craig in January. I've never liked going to the gym. I was one of those who bought a gym membership and never went. I went on beachbody.com and ordered workouts. It worked for me because I could do it in my own home. When I reached my goal weight in November, I dropped Jenny Craig. I wanted to know if I could maintain my weight and continue to lose weight with diet, exercise and drinking lots of water. I have. I'm now a size 10 and plan to work to a size 8. My husband is even beginning to exercise with me. I still take my son to McDonald's occasionally. I just eat at home beforehand, so I'm not tempted to join him.
My favorite breakfast is whole-grain French toast. For lunch, I always have a salad and usually a turkey sandwich or a turkey burger. I usually have grilled chicken with whole-wheat pasta for dinner. You can vary grilled chicken a lot with your choice of spices. When I go out, I try not to have much pasta or bread. And I like sushi, which is a really great option for someone on a diet.
I exercise five to six times a week using DVDs I bought from beachbody.com. It cost about $200, which I consider an investment in myself. It is strange. I was never an exercise person, but, now, if I don't exercise I feel really tired and guilty.
Find something that you love, and you'll stick with it. Stress management is key. I changed jobs about 18 months ago and wasn't so stressed out, and it gave me the opportunity to work on myself. I've also learned not to sweat the small stuff. I'm a much more positive person now.

What is Rasmussen's Encephalitis?
Rasmussen's encephalitis is a rare, chronic inflammatory neurological disease that usually affects only one hemisphere of the brain.It usually occurs in children under the age of 10 (more rarely in adolescents and adults), and is characterized by frequent and severe seizures, loss of motor skills and speech, paralysis on one side of the body (hemiparesis), inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), and mental deterioration. Most individuals with Rasmussen's encephalitis will experience frequent seizures and progressive brain damage in the affected hemisphere of the brain over the course of the first 8 to 12 months, and then enter a phase of permanent, but stable, neurological deficits.Rasmussen's encephalitis has features of an autoimmune disease in which immune system cells enter the brain and cause inflammation and damage. Research is ongoing into the causes of this rare disease.
Is there any treatment?
Anti-epileptic drugs are usually not effective in controlling seizures.Recent studies have shown some success with treatments that suppress or modulate the immune system, in particular those that use corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, or tacrolimus.Surgery to control seizures may be performed in later stages of the disease when neurological deficits stabilize.Surgical procedures, such as functional hemispherectomy and hemispherotomy, may reduce the frequency of seizures and also improve behavior and cognitive abilities.
What is the prognosis?
The prognosis for individuals with Rasmussen's encephalitis varies.Despite the advances in medical treatment, none has yet been shown to halt the progress of the disease in the long term.The disorder may lead to severe neurological deficits or it may cause only milder impairments.For some children, surgery decreases seizures.However, most individuals with Rasmussen's encephalitis are left with some paralysis, cognitive deficits, and problems with speech. In some cases, the disease can progress to involve the opposite brain hemisphere.
What research is being done?
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) conducts research related to Rasmussen's encephalitis in its laboratories at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and also supports additional research through grants to major research institutions across the country. Much of this research focuses on finding better ways to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure progressive neurological disorders, such as Rasmussen's encephalitis.

Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka dispatched Laura Pous-Tio 6-3, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals of the Andalucia Tennis Experience on Thursday.
The eighth-ranked player from Belarus trailed 3-2 in the first set before winning 12 of the next 14 games. Azarenka, coming off her victory at the Sony Ericsson Open, will next play former top-ranked player Dinara Safina.
"I feel like I'm adapting better to the tournament and the new surface and until now I'm satisfied with my play," Azarenka said. "Tomorrow's game will be interesting. Despite my ranking I don't feel like the favorite to beat her or to win the event."
Also, fourth-seed Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania rallied for a hard-fought 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain in just shy of three hours.
"With her difficult game, playing with a lot of topspin and coming into the court, it was difficult to build a point," Dulgheru said. "I was a running a lot."
Medina Garrigues fought back from 4-1 down to take the first set but was broken three times in each of the last two sets.
In other second-round matches, Spanish qualifier Lara Arruabarrena-Veci hung on to beat Czech Sandra Zahlavova 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 to reach her first WTA quarterfinals, and another qualifier, Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania, was a 7-5, 6-0 winner over Spanish wild card Estrella Cabeza Candela.

Navi Mumbai airport: Ball not in Centre`s court, says Ramesh
Environmental clearance to the Navi Mumbai International Airport is not pending with the Centre, Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh said here on Saturday.
Mumbai: Environmental clearance to the Navi
Mumbai International Airport is not pending with the Centre,
Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh
said here on Saturday.
"The ball is not in the Central Government`s court," he
told reporters on the sidelines of a state-level meet on
climate change.
The City and Industrial Development Corporation of
Maharashtra Limited (CIDCO), had in 2009 sought Terms of
Reference (ToR) under the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)
Notification for establishment of the Airport, he said.
The project was appraised by the Expert Appraisal
Committee (EAC) and the Committee finalised ToR and additional
ToRs for carrying out the EIA Studies.
"On February 8 this year, we communicated to CIDCO that
it should submit the Environment Impact Assessment Studies as
per the additional ToRs," he said.
On the power projects in coastal districts of the state,
he said the Maharashtra Government has been asked to study the
carrying capacity of Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts where
the power projects, with a total generation capacity of over
35,000 MW, are planned.
Nagpur-based National Environmental Engineering Research
Institute could be roped in to undertake the study in the
Konkan region, Ramesh said.
The government plans to make the state load-shedding free
in the next three years but has met with stiff opposition from
the agitating green lobby, protesting against the development
of these power projects.
"If the state government asks us, the Centre will impose
curbs on new mining projects in the two districts," Ramesh
Maharashtra forest cadre very badly managed: Ramesh
Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh
today ticked off Maharashtra Forest Minister Patangrao Kadam,
saying the state forest department cadre was very badly
"Maharashtra forest department cadre has been very
badly managed over the last 15 to 20 years," Ramesh said,
addressing a state level meet on climate change.
Kadam, who along with Rural Development minister
Jayant Patil was present, was seen squirming as the minister
made those remarks. Lok Sabha member Supriya Sule organised
the programme.
The Finance Commission has given Rs 5,000 crore grant
for forestry work to states and Maharashtra`s share is Rs 350
crore, the minister said. "This is a lot of money for a
department that starts at 11 am and ends at 11.30 am," Ramesh
"The forest department should have an independent
opinion. They can`t be told," he said, adding "what it (forest
department) has been starved of is real leadership."
Funds allocated for pollution control work in Sangli
district, from where Kadam and Patil hail, have not yielded
result, he said.
"Rs 900 crore have been spent on Ganga over last 20
years. But the river is as polluted today as it was then," the
minister said.

What an interesting story. Extremely well-written. I admit to having a hard time w/Mac/Harm stories... I just love the Webb/Mac chemistry so much more, so like the stories best that pair them. That being said, I really enjoy your writing and didn't mind the Harm interlude because you write these characters so well. And you give Harm more depth of character and even make him more likeable to me than the portrayal in the series.
Still, Webb and Mac are best! And I am thrilled that a writer of your talents has chosen our far more complex and interesting spy/lt. col. couple; thank you for sharing your talent in this way.
| DixieH chapter 5 . 12/18/2007
This was very sweet. I was initially put off by the vision of Clay leading Mac around the grocery store (and maybe I said so in an early review). However, by the middle and certainly by the end I found the story well suited to a softer version of both Mac and Clay. Well written.
| Beth-TauriChick chapter 5 . 12/16/2007
I enjoyed it very much! Great fic. I'm so glad this one had a happy ending :)
| laura carr chapter 4 . 12/13/2007
great story.
| Beth-TauriChick chapter 4 . 12/10/2007
Oh the angst! Yep, you definitely needed a warning for this one :) Now I'm really looking forward to the next chapter- where they finally spend Thanksgiving together!
| Lorrie2 chapter 4 . 12/9/2007
Great story, great writing. You have Webb and Mac nailed.
| Beth-TauriChick chapter 3 . 12/1/2007
I'm really enjoying this fic- seeing Steven Culp on Atlantis last night made me remember the days of my Mac/Webb fandom, and your fic is so wonderfully written! Looking forward to the chapter where they do spend Thanksgiving together :)
| lynda chapter 3 . 12/1/2007
Fabulous. You write them exactly as I have imagined them myself. Thank you, once again, for the great writing.

Higurashi Episode 11 Discussion / Poll
Welcome to the discussion thread for Higurashi no Naku Koroni, Episode 11.
Thread Guidelines

....will get you this...
Spoiler for title:
ADDITIONAL RULES FOR Higurashi no Naku Koroni
hmm...by looking at the Futaba-chan image board, I sincerely hope they didn't cut out the scene where Rena kicked some verbal whoop-ass towards Kei in that scene. It seems the part where Satoko cries on things that implies the type of abuse has been cut out. But at least the images seem to show heart thumping moments where people can finally cheer for Kei's actions (even though they are out to the extreme...).
Probably the best episode so far.
Keiichi does not know mercy. Ugh... http://ov.pserve.hu/fmls/19.gif
This was the first time during the series where i really liked Miki Itou's voice acting. Ep11 Takano was superb.
Spoiler for complaints:
The Teppei scene was shortened down, as expected, and I'm not going to blame the anime for shortening it since the whole chase WAS dragged out pretty long in the novel.
But there was one particular section during that scene in the novel that really burned an image into my head:
On the other hand, the Takano scene near the end of this episode was really nicely done. Itou Miki-san's voice is as sexy and creepy as ever. ^^; Hard to believe she's the same person doing Fuji-nee's voice in Fate anime. :heh:
Again, the episode sort of got cut off at an odd spot (in the middle of a scene). But this one's not as bad as the last episode cut-off point (omitting the whole scene where Keiichi went into KOOL-mode after witnessing Satoko's breakdown).
Oh well, there's going to be 5 episodes for Tatarigoroshi-hen, so hopefully they won't have to rush the ending. I mean, this chapter's ending was absolutely overwhelming, so I pray they won't mess it up... too much.
K1, next time you want to kill someone, use a crowbar instead!!!! one hit and they die, no need to run all over the place lol
And the blonde chick...she is so evil, I don't think she die in any of the scenerio at all, she probably murders that stupid photographer everytime lol.
It had very good atmosphere through episode. Maybe because its raining here gave extra impact but I think it was well done although Kei did decision quite fast. Outcome was expected when I saw bat.
While it did seem a bit out-of-the-blue without KOOL-mode Kei, surprisingly it still was done plausibly. While yes they did again cut out some scenes that might've created a larger impact, it is not too big of a deal to get in a ruff about. They did what they were supposed to do - covering the main points.
They coolness factor diminished ten-fold when Kei said "Higarushi no naku koro ni" in the anime compared to the game. In the anime, it felt too rushed and the result was corniness. In the game...it sent chills down my spine.
And Takano was portrayed beautifully here...very creepy. Itou Miki's shallow voice brought up the creep factor five-fold at the end. Great episode.
Now, we're on to the next episode where the REAL stuff starts to happen (remember - each chapter goes into full-gear always after the Watanagashi Festival).
What's with the subs' link? There's no Higurashi 11 in that tracker, yet Animesuki has it listed. Strange...
That's what you call a screw up. Was pulled out because of an error.
Well, I was one of the lucky ones who got the episode before it was pulled back. I was getting frustrated how Higurashi was advancing in ep 5-8 (because of animation/direction/voice acting etc..) and now after watching 9-11, I've become a fan of this show once more. Yet I still ponder if a studio like KyoAni handled this show, could this show have been turned out differently?
After episode 1-2, episode 11 has been another episode that really freaked me out. It's not because what happened in those episodes, rather, the freaky part comes out when one reflects on it. For example, Keiichi in one part of the episode is talking to his mother about what she considers a good murder mystery novel, where the criminal gets away with it. Actually he wants know how he can get away by killing someone and his line of thinking wasn't hypothetical either. Calm, calculating pre-meditative murder is always creepy. I'm used to this guy loosing his nerve, acting like an idiot as he got himself too much in it because the dude was too nosy. In this episode, he is a cold blooded killer, so the change in attitude of Keiichi was refreshing.
Give this episode an 8.
P.S. As I read Sushi-Y, I've this urge to see of this hi-speed-thinking Keiichi.
Seen as it seems to be getting asked every 2 minutes in the channel, to save them having to answer any more of the same question:
The torrent's been dropped because a translation comment was left on the final release, as shown here, and should be available by this time tomorrow. Probably. It's better than the usual saturday/sunday release date anyway :D
Great episode.
Yes, Kei's development felt like being a little too fast. I'm not say surprising, as far as I'm concerned, but just it's like there may have been some temporal jump.
I feel so sorry everytime by reading that important things have been left off :( , but still, chapeau to this episode.
Excellent rendering of all the Kei's actions.
The quote, "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni", yes ... maybe a bit.. out of the blue? But very impactful nonetheless.
Takano, lol, she's so magnificent.
And now, since the hot stuff still has going to start, I'm really looking forward for how Tatarigoroshi will proceed.
I wish this anime would never end.
Can someone give some insight on the important parts from the game that were left out of eps 11?

I love this one in the nacho cheese flavour. I love when pastas are in different shapes so the fish shape really appealed to me. But the cheese sauce mix really tastes noticeably different than the original Kraft macaroni package. It's a great cheesy nacho flavour but isn't at all spicy. I love adding this one to the lineup (I like switching the variety every time). This flavour is definitely in my top 5, and I do spent that little bit more to get it every now and then compared to the more boring versions.
They do have a really good taste of nacho cheese which i really liked from them. BUT the texture of the pasta is really bad. It has a really mushy/pasty texture not like other mac & cheese pasta brand. I do not recommend. Maybe kids will like but not myself.
Yum! I tried this last week and I really enjoyed it, I got the nacho cheese flavoured one and it was so yummy! I actually like this more then Kraft Dinner. It's so creamy and has a really good nacho flavour, and the noodles are so fun to eat because they are shaped like goldfish.

Four Renowned Scary Poems
A great number of Bajorans fled from the world Bajor to flee the Cardassian work, the Cardassians having taken the buyessays.biz planet by pressure from their very own and with a little occupational contingent using the regional population to deprive out any useful resource, This Can Be obviously not the specific situation with Israel, plus it wouldbe very much frowned upon generally in most sectors attempting to associate the Jewish state with all the Cardassians. Several social programs disadvantage communities due to being from poorer households, including the samurai-peasant connection of feudal Japan, or centered on ethic history, which is the event with racial inequality that has been seen in several countries maybe most notably Pre-Civil War America and Pre-Apartheid South Africa. However it should be explained, we are totally unaware of what the Bajoran position on death and reincarnation is, it might be that there is a Bajoran form of karma (based without doubt about the person's "pagh") which may lead to you being blessed in to a greater family and thus a better caste. It may be that the Bajorans never experienced the intervals inside our culture that induced probably the most change, namely the World Competitions, plus it has to be known if it were not for the suppression of information during the so-called dim ages our tradition will be a ton more advanced than it is currently. Nevertheless, when the representative opinions the whole competition as their enemy, the variation between a knight as well as a civilian generally becomes confused to them. To make these reviews we begin to see the primary instance of the schism, some persons could see what of the French Resistance as daring I doubt the Nazi causes at that time had such a positive view of it. The contrast for the IRA and comparable teams is more challenging, this is because while you will find proponents of the team who have championed their trigger as righteous and actions required, many would state that they surpassed the line fully and are nothing more than terrorists. By attacking a third-party as well as a noncombatant, they built their situation untenable and an Admiral was convinced to cope with them. Pious Unity As outlined in another article around the religion, it bears similarities to some array of individual faiths. Possibly it's as the tenets are quite different from european beliefs and the nature of these gods more simple to qualify.
Every one of the ice cream have been swallowed previously.
The sole summary that could thus be elevated is the fact that even though Bajorans bear parallels to some number of diverse contests at different situations and thinking about the many areas of the culture. Concerning The Publisher

Mom to two beautiful boys, now in school to be a therapist and help other women with PPD.
If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." Thomas Jefferson.
Mom to two beautiful boys, now in school to be a therapist and help other women with PPD.
I'm looking, but I don't have the stats yet. I'm trying to find the actual number of vaccinated, partial vax and unvaccinated for the number of cases reported.
Just try to keep in mind during this, the news is prob not going to report the number of vaccinated persons down with this.

I read in the Press Democrat (Sonoma Co):
"California had 910 recorded cases of whooping cough as of June 15, five of which resulted in deaths. All five deaths were Latino children under 3 months of age."
I'll make a prediction. At some point, someone will develop a new vaccine against pertussis which actually prevents transmission and carriage of this bug. At that point it will be admitted that the old vaccine didn't really work. But not before then.
What is the rationale behind the belief that the new pertussis vax doesn't prevent transmission? Is this a known characteristic of the vax? What sources tell us this? Or is it unknown at this point?
Lovin my sweet babygirl 3-17-10 and expecting another in March!
Mama to two girls 12/05 and 8/09
What is SA? I'm freaking out here a bit b/c my 4.5 yo has a small cold and a nasty cough every once in awhile (worse at night). She also has a weird rash, so we're off to the doc tomorrow. I also have a 10 month old.
Any recs on prevention if it is pertussis?
This would make sense, particularly if these children came from undocumented immigrant families, who in many cases have no incentive to seek medical care. In fact, the powers that be discourage it.
Pertussis is treatable, provided that people seek treatment.
Not as treatable for young infants. 5 infant deaths so far, all babies under 6 months -- who obviously contracted it from an unvaxed child/adult. NY Times has an article on the deaths, sorry can't link right now. It is just tragic from any perspective.
All in "latino farm worker community" which I presume means undocumented. I very much hope vaxes / boosters are being offered free of charge to anyone in that community who wants one.

Benzev Kaz was an alias commonly used by entrepreneur Rod Portlyn. Portlyn had a number of dummy corporations established under the name Benzev Kaz, in order to hide certain activities of his more legitimate businesses.
In 2377, following the collapse of Portlyn's business empire, he used the Kaz alias to run up a large tab at the Starlight Casino and Hotel, and to make a bid to purchase Aldo Corsi's freighting business. He used it again to bribe Ernesh-Flishmo, attorney to Patrice Bennett, in an effort to take control of her business holdings. (CoE eBook: The Art of the Comeback)

Well,....... I'm not going to say I hate I told you so. However, I am feeling pretty good that I predicted every single thing that happened last Sunday night. In reflection, it's apparent that Jerral is finding ways to fail, and spectacularly at that. Even Jerral has his limits when it comes to faking. The main one being he's nothing more than a NFL vassal to Rodger Goodell.
Now with the bye week upon the Cowboys. Thanks to GM Jerral. We have two weeks to marinate in a humiliating defeat by a rancorous NO team. Leaving the fans once again. Hanging out to dry in futility. In my way of thinking it's a beast of a burden for true fans to endure. A wholesale tearing down, of a proud Organization. Piece by piece.
The sad truth is nothing will be done to change the course Jerral is on. Until he reaches his goal. The complete collapse of The Dallas Cowboys Brand. Just like contemporary venture capitalist's we see today. The pattern predicts the result. You have a infirmed Owner(Bum Bright), taken advantaged of by a rapacious, micromanaging, Businessman(Jerral). Resulting in the systematic bilking of a top sports franchise. Purely for the sake of doing so. All with the good graces of a duplicitous NFL Commissioner.
Unlike a lot of Cowboys fans. True ones or otherwise. I ascribe to telling the truth. Not only that but to also adding constructive suggestions. A good way to turning around the course our GM has set upon. Would be to first, consider personnel with a proven track record in administering a successful NFL level franchise.
GM: Duke Tobin, Tag Ribary, Ruston Webster.
HC: Mike Zimmer, Joe Lombardi, Darrell Bevell.
All proven at their craft. Then let their professional chips. Fall where they may. Nothing is guaranteed, I know. Odds are these guys will bring forth a competitive NFL group of players.
I had a harsh conversation with a would-be Cowboys fan recently. He said something to me that was very intriguing to me. "Tell me what's good about the Cowboys before you tell me what's bad." As a result, here I'll go beyond the pale. Suggesting qualified candidates who could very well, do over and beyond what we have now.
