the lack of making decision from hazumu causing both tomari and yusuna hurt.
from metaphorical that ayuki had said, 2 flower growing in the same pot cant grow as healthy as those other flower which has their individual pot.both of flowers in the same pot will eventually wilt if there is no changes make. in order to save at least one of them, u need to pull out one of them in order to save one of it....
so hazumu cant make decicion to both of them...giving them the same love and passion towards them and cause both of them to hurt their feeling...
the oyaji had said, they came to earth was because to inspect and examine yunasu because of her unique condition . that her condition will change because of love. than bla bla so in order to heal back yusuna vision and confidence towards human, yusuna need to deeply love someone..
so will hazumu end up wif yusuna? nope..cos yunasu are leaving the place..and tomari had given up hazumu to yusuna-chan..but wat tomari don know is that yusuna are also going to give up on hazumu too...>_>
like i had say..hazumu will end up wif no one...since this anime wasnt about rivalry between gd and bad ppl... so no winner or loser in this anime.

Wow, before anything else, I need to commend everyone who's posted on this thread for having the discipline not to mention...
Alas, I know zero Japanese, so I'll have to wait for a summary or a fansub to know what everyone was saying, but even on the visuals alone, this ep was really something else.

Yay, for Xabin... (flicks download on)
I'm up to date on the scanlated manga as well.... interesting differences. My main complaint about the manga is that the frame to frame continuity is somewhat poor at times. Example: the beach scene in which Asuta is about to reveal Important Things to Hazumu and is interrupted by sensei's fall - a couple of shouts of Hazumu!!! and suddenly we're in the train with Asuta beaten and tied "fnar". Having seen the anime, I know that Tomari executed her "protect Hazumu" mode but that was in no way clear in the manga. ((that has me wondering if the scanlation dropped some honorifics that would have made those speech balloons clearer)) ... but the panel by panel continuity jumps make it more difficult to follow than a lot of other manga.
In respects the anime is producing better results, though the manga is more interesting in other aspects (the art is pretty entrancing...).

The Xabin mkv files won't play for me like other mkv files I have. If I don't have ffdshow installed, Media Player Classic gives me sound only, and VLC Media Player crashes entirely. This is the only time I've run into this problem.
Now, of course you might say, "Well, install ffdshow, then," and you would be right. Except that when I have ffdshow installed, it interferes with my ability to use vobsub for soft-subbed shows (I get double subtitles).
Any suggestions?
|2006-04-05, 00:07
|Link #16
In the "Video decoder configuration" part of ffdshow's settings, there's a submenu called Subtitles, make sure that isn't checked.
You should now only get subtitles from DVobSub.
My version of Kashimashi isn't soft-subbed, btw.

Just finished ep 11 ... fairly agonizing episode. Points to Asuta for "being there" though he's always stood up and left behind.
(manga note: this is an interesting "reinterpretation" of the manga.... but hey if its well told.. <shrug>)
Anyway, interesting whirlwind of events..... up to the final "demo..." such that even if Hazumu chooses, I'm still rooting for a threesome over the long duration past the end of the anime (or in the manga).
video notes: I'm not having these problems but then I usually check for updates once every couple of weeks and use the animesuki instructions to the letter in installing everything (after removing everything first). I've come across exactly *one* file I couldn't play with irfanview or the latest Microsoft Windows Media Player and that one played with the "Media Player Classic" tool. I'm also running on Win2K and WinXP. The Win9X and WinMe OS ... you really should retire those for security reasons and because they aren't multithreaded operating systems (which means many games will barf under them). If money is an issue, take a look at Ubuntu Linux (or some other) and the video tools on that or learn how to run WINE or some similiar "windows simulator" under Linux.
Its good to learn new things ... especially if it saves money.

The best part of this episode was definitely the first half. YURIVISION is still a plot device, but it's one that's being used really well. But both the plot and drama are working fairly well, and a lot of credit for making both those elements have impact has to go to the really good use of music.
The second half, I didn't enjoy as much. I thought the explanation for the alien presence was totally stupid. Yes, I realize this entire show is built on plot devices, but that particular one was by far the silliest. I didn't really appreciate Ayuki's flower metaphor either... it may have been a clever metaphor, but it's a clever metaphor for a cliche.
The confrontation at the end was an interesting scene, but it lacked the dramatic weight and tension of the controntation at the beginning of the episode.
On a slightly different note, the art is still great, but the animation seems to have gone downhill. A bit of discreet corner cutting, I suspect.

Senate committees will soon be asked to vote on President Obama's nominees to head the departments of State and Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency. Many, if not most, of the senators' questions will be focused on the nominees' views on the pressing security problems the United States faces in the greater Middle East and Afghanistan. But it would be a mistake for the committees to let the hearings pass without also examining the administration's own stated policy priority — the "pivot" or "rebalance" to the Asia-Pacific region.
A productive discussion of the pivot, however, will require a frank acknowledgment that the primary factor driving the change is increased nervousness in Washington and Asian capitals about China's rise and, in turn, recognition that the U.S. policy of engagement with China has not been as effective in shaping that rise as successive administrations, Republican and Democratic, had hoped.
On this point, it is particularly useful to reread then-Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick's 2005 speech in which he famously invited Beijing to become a "responsible stakeholder" in the international system. Since the late 1970s, the U.S. had been, as Zoellick put it, "opening doors to China's membership into the international system" with the expectation that doing so would lead to change in Chinese behavior as it saw the security and economic benefits of that system. By no means a China "hawk," Zoellick provided a reasonable set of benchmarks for judging just how successful engagement would be in moving China along the path of a benign rise to great-power status.

The wildcat is the official mascot of the University of New Hampshire. During the 2006 Homecoming Weekend, the university unveiled its newest symbol of Wildcat pride; a larger-than-life bronze statue installed on the Main Street side of Memorial Field in front of the Whittemore Center. The sculpture was created by Matthew Gray Palmer, of Friday Harbor, Washington. Chosen by a committee of UNH staff and faculty members, alumni and parents, as well as professional artists, Palmer was among 40 artists who submitted proposals for the project. Palmer, who specializes in large public works of art, hopes his latest 850-pound creation will not only touch people, but be touched by them, literally. "The public work I do gets an artistic expression out where people can touch it, feel the patterns, put their arms around it."
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

California tree fruit yields were off 30 percent to 70 percent this season due to a wide array of weather factors ranging from low winter chilling to summer hail.
However, diversified growers with varieties to pick all season long pocketed returns that covered cost and made a little extra, according to Gary Van Sickle, research and regulatory compliance director for the California Tree Fruit Agreement, Reedley, Calif.
Growers who only had a few varieties may not have fared as well.
Fortunately, marketers held the line on pricing through most of the season and many varieties sold for $1 to $2 more per pound than the year before with the short supply.
The future for tree fruit growers looks brighter than it has in several years. "Industry consolidation and vertical integration that has been occurring, as well as increased orchard removals of poor varieties, has now reached a turning point," according to Van Sickle.
Ahead is encouraging per capital consumption potential as the nation takes a hard look at obesity and diets with an anticipated trend toward eating healthier. This bodes well for California-grown fresh fruit and vegetable consumption.
"Added to that is the fact that consumers have grown accustomed to paying premium prices for products at the local markets, provided their expectations of quality have been met," Van Sickle said.
Unfortunately, those supermarket premium prices are not being reflected in higher grower returns. There has been a steady decline in the grower portion of the final price, even though consumers are paying more than ever for peaches, plums and nectarines.
An Arizona State University study found no correlation between grower/shipper prices and retail prices.
A retail audit of peach, nectarine and plum supermarket prices by the California Tree Fruit Agreement in 31 U.S. and Canadian markets in 2006 found the crop selling for more than $2 per pound compared to $1.91 last season. Promotional prices averaged about $1.60 per pound compared to $1.42 in 2005.
"Gone are the days peaches sold for 39 cents per pound," Van Sickle said.
Retailers are capitalizing on the consumers' willingness to pay more for fruits and vegetables, which are perceived to provide nutritional and health benefits.
Another reason growers are getting less of the final price is that some retailers are focusing more on their margins rather than on sales volume. Some grocers have concluded that they can achieve the same total return by selling less at higher prices than cut prices to move a higher volume of fruit and incur more spoilage and handling costs.
The disconnect between farm gate prices and prices charged to consumers is increasing. Growers are getting only about 20 cents per pound at retail, down from a paltry 27-29 cents a few years ago.
This is exasperated by the consolidation among grocery retailers that has given more power to fewer retailers and less ability for shippers to influence prices. The top 10 chains now account for 68 percent of grocery sales. Six years ago, it was 53 percent.
"The future challenge will be for growers to capture an increased share of the retail price," Van Sickle said.
Grower gross return has held steady or increased over the past few years. However, costs have risen at a rapid pace. Van Sickle cited fuel costs, workers' compensation insurance, increased inventory costs and inefficiencies of specialty packs — such as clamshells and club store packages — which cost shippers an additional 10 percent to 15 percent. Worker training classes, audits and added documentation to bolster food safety also are increasing business costs.
Compliance with new air and water quality regulations also are expected to add to farming costs.
For this season, the only plus on the cost side was the big California mountain snow pack that provided additional surface water, allowing many growers to reduce water well pumping bills.
There are increasingly more fruit and vegetable choices, imported and domestic, and this is challenging the California tree fruit grower to gets peaches, plums and nectarines into supermarket baskets.
Fortunately, the national health crisis over obesity in America should provide positive markets for all fresh fruits and vegetables.

DENVER—The Colorado medical board has accused a surgeon of unprofessional conduct after a series of botched procedures with Porter Adventist Hospital's robotic surgery arm left some patients with severe injuries.
The state alleges that from 2008 to 2010, Dr. Warren Kortz cut and tore blood vessels, left sponges and instruments inside patients and injured patients because of improper positioning. The board says he also subjected some patients to overly long surgeries, and had to abort kidney donations because of mistakes.
According to the Denver Post ( http://tinyurl.com/d3frafs), Lisanne Leasure, an attorney for Kortz in a negligence suit over one of the kidney patients, said in a statement that Kortz's care was reasonable and appropriate.

Surviving a tax audit
As a big-ticket asset promising large potential tax adjustments, a business jet easily captures the attention of IRS auditors. Given the woefully complicated tax rules applicable to these aircraft, who can blame the IRS for seeking additional revenue opportunities in the flight department?
The best way to survive an audit is never to have one. Even if you buy a fractional share or lease an aircraft–options that are arguably less likely to result in an audit than purchasing a jet outright–it's important to be mindful of the tax traps that business airplanes often unwittingly fly into. Just reciting the names of some key danger zones can be chastening: at-risk rules, passive losses, hobby losses, entertainment disallowance–plenty of audit potential lurks in these areas. The good news is that even if you cut corners and made mistakes in tax planning when you acquired your aircraft, it may not be too late to reverse or at least minimize the damage.
Basically, there's only one way to run into trouble with the IRS: failing to pay the taxes you owe on a timely basis. This can happen because you underpaid or ignored specific taxes, such as the transportation excise tax or a taxable fringe benefit; or because you improperly took deductions against taxable income for aircraft-related expenses.
The former frequently comes down to the facts of the case: was there taxable transportation or a taxable fringe benefit? Talking to the IRS about such issues can be frustrating since there is often a major disconnect between aviation tax professionals and the government agency about the facts regarding situations subject to tax. (Witness, for example, the notorious Air Transportation Excise Tax–Audit Technique Guide, which the IRS published in 2008.) Minimizing audit risk in this arena may simply involve doing your best to comply with the rules while pulling down the blinds and hoping for an intelligent, not overly zealous revenue agent.
The second area–improper aircraft-related taxdeductions–involves complicated law. The threshold question can be particularly problematic with regard to business aircraft: do costs related to its use represent an ordinary and necessary business expense? Business aviation CPA Jed Wolcott in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., sees increasing audit activity in this area, especially for aircraft owned by special-purpose entities or where aircraft expenses are disproportionately large by comparison with revenues and other expenses.
"The company should justify that it has legitimate business reasons for using private air transportation, such as improving the efficiency of key executives," Wolcott said. Operating a roadside lemonade stand in Palm Springs, for example, would not reasonably require use of a Citation X to transport the owner to Chicago to stock up on lemonade mix. Ideally, Wolcott noted, the company will document in writing that it has studied the issue and reasonably concluded that private air transportation was beneficial.
Are aircraft-related tax audits increasing? Wolcott doesn't think so, though audits in particular areas may be on the rise as the focus of the IRS changes. The availability of 100 percent bonus depreciation, for example, has certainly captured auditors' attention–it involves a giant one-time expense and often represents the first time a company takes an aircraft depreciation deduction.
An audit begins with a field examination, after which the auditor will write up his conclusions for the taxpayer. If the taxpayer doesn't agree, he can appeal the results, and if he loses on appeal, he can go to court. A frequent mistake, according to Wolcott, is waiting to contest issues until after the IRS auditor completes his examination. In other words, don't just send the auditor down to see your bookkeeper as though you have nothing to hide. "The field examination is the most important step," Wolcott said. "Anything you can talk the auditor out of is gone forever. After that, it becomes much more difficult and expensive to win the point."
Wolcott's motto is "paper it to death." IRS auditors love to go through the aircraft records and talk about each flight: What was the purpose? Who was onboard? Was entertainment involved? Sometimes the auditor will make the taxpayer prove he's entitled to a deduction on a flight-by-flight basis. The flight records should therefore contain the information required to substantiate a deductible expense (see "A Recordkeeping Checklist for Aircraft Owners" below). And don't assume you can make up the records once you're audited or confine the auditor to a self-serving summary prepared for his benefit. IRS regulations require that flight-related records be contemporaneous, not concocted later.
IRS audits aren't the only source of tax troubles. Revenue-hungry states are always looking for ways to impose sales and use taxes on business jet owners. It's crucial, therefore, that before taking delivery of an aircraft, you map out your strategy for avoiding use tax not only in the state where you'll base the jet, but also in states that you may fly to regularly, especially if you have significant contacts with those states, such as by having a residence or business there.
But well-crafted plans to avoid or minimize state and federal aircraft-related taxes are of no benefit if you don't follow them. Wolcott confirmed that tax professionals often help aircraft buyers to create elaborate structures to own, lease, operate and manage an aircraft only to discover later that the client hasn't been complying with the plan.
In summary, get good tax advice when you buy an aircraft and make sure you continue to follow it. And before becoming the subject of an audit, learn what records you need to be keeping and be sure you retain them. It's the best way to make the audit process as painless as possible.
A recordkeeping checklist for aircraft owners
Here are the records you should keep contemporaneously for each person on each flight leg:
• Date of flight
• Departure airport
• Arrival airport
• Flight hours and miles
• Passenger manifest
• Purpose of flight for each passenger
• Relation

FAIRHAVEN — The Planning Board is seeking to fill two vacancies left by Joseph Morra and Albert Borges who no longer live in Fairhaven.
Town Planner William Roth told selectmen Monday that Mr. Morra's residency was challenged recently by Planning Board Chairman Wayne Hayward. Mr. Roth said the Town Clerk tried to notify Mr. Morra several times about a hearing but couldn't reach him.
On Tuesday, the Planning Board declared a vacancy for Mr. Morra's position.
Mr. Morra's attendance on town boards has been an issue this past year. According to the Planning Department, he attended only one meeting in 2012, in February.
Earlier this year, selectmen removed him from the Appeals Board, an appointed board, at that board's request because of lack of attendance. Selectmen wrote to Mr. Morra at the time to ask about his non-attendance at the Planning Board, an elected position.
Albert Borges will also no longer be serving on the Planning Board. Town Planner William Roth said Mr. Borges notified the board after selling his house in late August or early September, but was asked to stay on to vote on hearings that were continuing and have now concluded.
Mr. Roth said Mr. Borges has dedicated "55 years in public service" in Fairhaven.
Anyone interested in serving on the Planning Board should submit a letter of interest to the Selectmen's Office, 40 Center St., Fairhaven, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for submittal is 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7. The positions will be filled until the town election in April.

Eddie Van Halen Going to Rehab Days Before Induction Ceremony
By Tarah Oliver
Guitarist Eddie Van Halen is seeking alcohol-related treatment just days before Van Halen will be honored at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in New York City next week, according to Rolling Stone and TMZ.com.
"I would like Van Halen fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you there is no Van Halen," said Eddie to his fans in a statement released by his rep.
"I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That's why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110% that I feel I owe you and want to give you.
Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my ability to change and change for the better. I want you to know that is exactly what I'm doing, so that I may continue to give you the very best I am capable of.
I look forward to seeing you in the future better than ever and I thank you with all my heart."
The rock legend was not expected to attend the induction ceremony after the group decided not to perform at the event.
Instead, Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland and guitarist Slash, who will induct the group into Cleveland, Ohio's Hall Of Fame later this month, will perform a tribute to the legendary group.
It is still uncertain whether any member of Van Halen will attend the New York City, although there are reports Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony may show up.
The group's much anticipated reunion plans have been put on hold after a summer tour with original frontman David Lee Roth was indefinitely postponed.

I've knew a guy years ago who had a SERIOUS problem with the juice. He never tried to get himself clean. Lord knows his friends tried to get him to act. He didn't, and didn't want to. He's dead. Left a wife and two kids.
Here's hoping Eddie can conquer his demons. He's taken the right first step. But you never fully recover. It's not like one day "you're fixed." Recovery is a day to day thing that never ends. It takes a tremendous MENTAL effort to stay clean, and incredible support from the people around you.

Just yesterday, we were showing off Harman Kardon's two new speaker packages. Now, one of Harman's other brands, JBL, has another two sets to make your decision-process that much more cool and confusing.
Both the JBL Cinema 300 (right) and Cinema 500 (below) speaker systems are more affordable, priced at $499 and $699, respectively. Also, both of these sets feature five speakers and an 8-inch, 150-watt subwoofer that looks eerily like Darth Vader's spare space helmet.
Designed to deliver theater-quality sound at home, both systems are supposedly Harman's smallest speaker systems to date. Each one boasts a 360-degree soundfield, with JBL's Weave aesthetics and dual PolyPlas cones in the center channel. The 500 also throws in a lower crossover point in the surrounding satellite speakers via dual 3-inch PolyPlas cones.
The JBL Cinema 300 and the JBL Cinema 500 should be available now, but are currently on backorder on JBL.com.

March and April showers may bring May flowers, but for growers of Thompson seedless, Flame Seedless, Redglobe or Grenache variety grapes, those spring rains also bring on the disease known as phomopsis cane and leaf spot.
Unfortunately, cultural or biological control of this disease is marginal and some type of chemical control is usually necessary. Many may question the use of various chemicals for disease control on the basis of food safety, however, the application of chemicals at this stage of growth avoids all contact with the fruit. This is because the flower of the grape, which becomes the fruit, is covered with a cap or calyptra. At bloom, the calyptra is shed onto the ground hence avoiding all chemical contact with the fruit.
The spread of this disease (formerly called dead-arm) is associated with rain during bud break and subsequent early shoot growth. Spores are released in large quantities from previous infection sites on diseased canes, spurs and bark at bud break and splashed by rain onto the young growing shoots.
Once growth has reached 15-18 inches the canopy forms an umbrella and helps prevent the splashing effect, hence decreasing the need for chemical applications. The amount of disease depends on the frequency, timing and amount of rain. Hence the disease is seasonal in its occurrence.
We have been looking at old and new chemistries the past five years to find a chemical that provides effective control of this disease. The chemicals fall into three major categories: dormant, foliar contact protectants and foliar systemic protectants.
Lime sulfur
Only one material, lime sulfur, has been effective in controlling this disease when applied to dormant (prior to budbreak) vines. The other registered materials act as foliar protectants and need to be applied to the foliage after bud break (during the highest potential infection period) but before the rain occurs. Various copper/sulfur materials (alone or in combination), ziram, captan, mancozeb or maneb are all foliar contact protectants and need to be applied before spring rains and then re-applied after significant rainfall or significant shoot growth for continued protection in the event of another rain event.
The strobilurins (Abound, Sorvan, Flint and Pristine) are classified as foliar systemics and have the advantage of not washing off in wet weather. Growers should protect grapevine foliage if rain is forecast after this period. It is best to look at the head of the vine to judge for bud break rather than the tips of the canes. It is important to protect the renewal shoots for next year's production.
In using these materials it would probably be better to use the less expensive foliar contact protectants in the early stages of growth saving the more expensive foliar systemic materials for use when shoots are at least 4-6 inches. Systemics would also be better if a series of storms are predicted making it difficult to re-enter the vineyard between storms to re-apply materials.

Bako National Park
Bako National Park [1] on the island of Borneo, is in Sarawak, a state in East Malaysia, and is home to the bizarre, obscene-nosed proboscis monkey. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
Flora and fauna
Its beautifully dense rainforests and stunning beaches are home to many flora and fauna including the rare proboscis monkey. Try and spot them during low tide as they forage in the exposed Mangrove tree swamps. There are 16 color-coded jungle trails as well as lodges for overnight stays - which you have to book early. On the high ground, look out for pitcher plants. And beware of the monkeys, they are very clever and compulsive thieves!(don't forget to spot the boar!)
Bako enjoys sunny weather much of the year. Temperature is constant throughout the year, in the lowland range from a cool 23C in the evening and early morning to 33C under the shade during the day. But from late November to late January, the monsoon rain may spoil plans for an outing. The hottest months are usually from June to late August, when the tribal farmers do their slash-and-burn land clearing before planting their padi, this has been blamed for the haze that envelops the regions and may cause health hazards. But since the governments of both Malaysia and Indonesia have "banned" open burning, incidents of haze have been reduced somewhat.
Get in
A bus ride from Kuching to Bako Market takes about 45-60 minutes and costs 2 MYR each way. Buses leave to/from Bako about once every hour starting from about 7AM from Kuching and finishing about 6PM from Bako, but the schedule is not firm. You can get a daily schedule at the bus station 1 in Kuching (near the mosque) in the morning.
When you arrive at the Bako Market purchase your entrance ticket (10 MYR for adults for one entry). Then, board the boat to the park headquarters down the river estuary (~30 minute ride, 47 MYR per boat each way, max. 5 passengers per boat). Tell your boatman when you plan to return and he'll wait for you at the dock. Departure times might depend on the tides (boats do get stuck at low tide).
As of July 2008:
Adult single-entry: 10 MYR Child/Senior single-entry: 5 MYR
Rates for lodging vary considerably depending on level of luxury. Check in advance at the National Park information center in Kuching for availability.
Get around
The interior of the park can only be traversed on foot. Staying on or close to the marked trails is strongly advised. Boardwalks and ladders are installed to help with some of the more difficult stretches.
Small boats similar to those that take you to and from the park wait on the beaches at busy times of day and can be chartered to take you to other beachside destinations. A boat pickup can also be arranged to help ease the return journey from some of the park's longer trails that finish on beaches. Pulau Lakei, some distance offshore, can only be reached by boat
A wide range of animal, bird and plant life including the Proboscis monkeys which come to the mangrove swamp to feed early evening. It's close to the lodging area where covered sheds are built, go there around 4PM, take a book and wait till they come. Seeing Proboscis and other species here is a lot easier and more comfortable than going on a safari. You just walk along an elevated wooden pathway, perhaps 10 minutes from where the boats land.
You can also see the seastacks and a lots more.
Nighttime sightseeing hikes are sometimes led by park staff, and are also easier and more comfortable than ones done on a safari.
Walks radiate from the centre offering a variety of difficulties in the heat and humidity and provide access to the habitats of the wide range of animal, bird and plant life in the park. The hikes are over some pretty rugged terrain for the most part, with lots of exposed tree roots and vegetation sometimes blocking trails that are less frequented.
With a little negotiation, a boatman will take you to nearby Palau Lakai, a small island just off the mainland. The views on the way here are spectacular and it's special to have an island to yourself for a day.
There is a local cafeteria that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for about MYR$5.00-7.00. There are no cooking facilities within the lodges.
The cafeteria has a variety of drinks including beer and soda.
At the National park headquarters there are bungalows for rent, a couple of nights stay are recommended if you have the time. 4-bed dorm with shared bathroom RM15.75; rooms from RM42. Accomodation can be stuffy and may have some mold growing on the ceilings.
Stay safe

Call Before You Dig
Know what's below … call before you dig
Building a deck? Planting a tree? Installing a mailbox? Please call 811 before you begin any digging project. People digging often make risky assumptions about whether or not they should get their utility lines marked due to concerns about project delays, costs and previous calls about other projects.
These assumptions can be life-threatening. Every digging job requires a call – even small projects like planting trees or shrubs. If you hit an underground utility line while digging, you can harm yourself or those around you, disrupt service to an entire neighborhood and potentially be responsible for fines and repair costs. Smart digging means calling 811 before each job. Whether you are a homeowner or a professional excavator, one call to 811 gets your underground utility lines marked for free. Don't assume you know what's below. Protect yourself and those around you – call 811 every time. Find out more.
What the markers mean
Utility employees will mark the ground with colored paint, stakes, or flags. The marks show the location and path of the utility. The colors of the markings mean the following utilities are underground:
When digging within two feet of the marked area, only use small hand tools, such as a garden trowel, to carefully expose the utility line. Keep in mind that utility installation is not the same for all utilities and requirements have changed through the years. Not all utilities are installed with protective casings and can be vulnerable to damage by tools as simple as a shovel. Always proceed with caution when digging around utility lines.

Through their admittance of light and decoration, windows can create an entire mood and add a sense of unity to the interior decorating theme of your home. Window blinds and drapes for windows can make your home feel more comfortable, add drama and evoke feelings. When choosing the appropriate window treatment, make sure to consider the amount of privacy you desire, light and climate control, ventilation, energy efficiency, the view from the window, and the look you want to create. For example, velvet drapes or heavy brocades that flow onto the floor create depth and drama, while sheer, breezy organdy fabrics create a casual, comfortable vibe. At Improvements, we'll show you how to measure for curtains.
How to Measure for Drapes in 3 Easy Steps
1. Assemble Your Tools:
Grab a pencil, paper and a metal measuring tape for taking window measurements. If you're using a cordless drill to hang up your drapery rod, make sure your battery is fully charged. Decide on the type of aesthetic appeal that you are trying to achieve as well as the intended function of the window coverings and purchase your curtains and hardware accordingly. TIP! Be careful when using a fabric measuring tape as it can stretch or droop, leading to inaccurate measurements.
2. Choose Your Mounting Technique:
To determine how long your drapes should be, consider the mood you want to project in the room. To create a formal room, curtains should puddle on the floor (to achieve the ideal drape puddle, you should add 2-4″ of additional fabric to your length). Otherwise, the fabric should hit the top of the floor. Fabric should always be long enough to cover the baseboard.
When preparing to hang drapes using an outside wall mount, make sure the hardware extends 3″ to 4″ beyond the outside of the window frame and 4″ to 6″ above the trim. To ensure minimum light gaps and maximum privacy, add 4″-5″ of fabric on both sides of the window. For narrow windows, the additional fabric should be added to the sides of the window frame and fabric should cover the frame, exposing a small amount of glass.
If you are attaching hardware on the side of the windows to loop tie backs through, make sure your measurements are even on both sides of the window.
|Inside Mount Drapes
|Outside Mount Drapes
|Hanging Hardware
- Inside Mounts:
Creates a sleek, modern appeal to windows. The inside mount technique is appropriate for applying Roman shades or if you want to keep molding in line of sight. Remember to keep all hardware within the frame. When measuring for an inside mount, begin with the width. Measure the window at 3 different points (top, middle, bottom) and use the narrowest figure for your final measurement. For determining the length, measure 3 different points and use the longest figure for your final measurement (unless you are hanging Roman shades, then use the shortest measurement.)
- Outside Wall Mounts:
A more traditional, classic method for mounting drapes, outside wall mounts are perfect for creating the illusion of larger windows or for draping a fuller, more-dramatic look with more fabric. If you have a really wide window, you can break up space by hanging several panels across the window. Hang your drapes so they flow straight down, or tie them back in pairs to show a more formal window treatment.
3. Choose Your Drapery Rod Length:
When choosing rod length, measure from bracket to bracket. Remember, most rods are expandable, and while they are offered in standard sizing (10″, 12″, 14″) they may be cut to a custom size or joined together for a greater length.
For a room with low ceilings, you can add the illusion of height by placing the drapery rod closer to the ceiling. If you want a fuller, layered-look of fabric that creates a more dramatic window treatment, consider purchasing a double rod.TIP! Plan for fabric to be 2 to 4 times that of your window's measurement for a rich, full look. Remember lightweight sheer fabrics create a lightweight treatment so you may want to purchase more fabric than usual, depending on your desired look.
There you have it! You now know how to measure windows for curtains.
Energy-Efficient Window Treatments & Accessories
Depending on your lifestyle, window treatment options can aid in creating an energy-efficient, sleep-friendly, and climate-controlled environment. If you're someone who works at night or just needs to get some extra sleep during the day, blackout drapes might be the ideal window treatment for you. If you want to save some money on your energy bills, you may choose a set of insulated curtains that keep the warmth and chill out of your home. Check out some of our energy-efficient window treatment options.

For the past two years, a small band of pro-democracy activists has gathered at Moscow's downtown Triumph Square on the 31st of every month that has as many days. They brave beatings, arrests, and taunts from massed ranks of riot police to demand their right to freedom of assembly as guaranteed by Article 31 of Russia's Constitution.
Permission for the rallies has routinely been denied, but lately Moscow authorities have been granting the "Strategy 31" group a permit to meet – including for Thursday's rally – albeit under very tight restrictions. Activists are mildly encouraged by the official change of heart and say they will broaden out their campaign to include a call for free and fair voting in legislative and presidential elections scheduled over the next year.
But a potentially far more momentous hint that change may be coming to Moscow came in recent days from the elite brain trusts that advise the two as-yet undeclared establishment candidates for next March's presidential polls, President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Both leaders have sparred increasingly over policy issues and, experts say, both have been presented with separate studies warning that Russia's highly-centralized and authoritarian political system has become a suffocating obstacle to further economic progress, and that without sweeping political reforms the country faces possible breakdown or even Egyptian-style popular revolt.
"Society has understood the need for democratic change for some time, and we may hope that our leaders aren't more foolish that the people," says Lyudmila Alexeyeva, a human rights activist since the 1960s. "Who knows if it's true? We don't get many opportunities for a heart-to-heart dialogue with Putin or Medvedev, so we'll just continue demonstrating for our rights."
Russia's status quo 'has no future'
Earlier this month, the Moscow-based Institute for Contemporary Development (INSOR) – whose board is chaired by President Medvedev – issued a 95-page report which concludes starkly that the status quo designed by former President Putin "has no future. ... If Russia has not yet won the freedom to live, now it must take it in order to survive. And then, for the first time in history, we will have the chance to find out what this country is capable of."
Some Russia analysts have speculated that the INSOR study might be the first draft of Medvedev's coming election program and, if so, it could be a stirring wake-up call for Russia's beleaguered liberals and aspiring middle class, who've been politically marginalized and economically forgotten during the Putin years.
The report itemizes 120 measures that would revolutionize Russia, including a return to full political competition, a free and independent media, promoting the growth of civil society, severing Kremlin control over the judiciary, financial reform, dramatic action against corruption, and sweeping measures to foster small business and anchor middle class property rights.
"Just because Medvedev is associated with our institute doesn't mean that this is his program. It's not that simple," says Igor Yurgens, who heads the management board of INSOR. "Basically, we wanted to formulate these ideas so that they will be ready when the country needs them. When crisis strikes, it will be too late to do this thinking."
In the past decade under Putin and Medvedev, Russia has seen a sharp curtailment of political competition, a rise in accusations of Kremlin-orchestrated electoral fraud, a state takeover of major media outlets, an explosion of corruption, a crackdown on politically active civil society, and a string of unsolved murders of independent journalists and human rights activists.
Medvedev, who was Putin's handpicked successor, has talked a liberal game since arriving in the Kremlin 3 years ago, but has shown what activists here say is a disturbing inability to follow through on most of his pledges.
"It's long been known that there is a two-party system behind the walls of the Kremlin," says Mr. Yurgens. "One is the stability party, whose current chief is Putin, and the other is the progress party, with Medvedev at its head. Of course we hope this coming election cycle will bring these out into the open, and give people a chance to decide."
Putin on board with reform?
In something of a surprise, one of 21 "expert groups" ordered by Putin in January to draft post-crisis revisions to the Russian government's official "Strategy 2020" development program has come to similar conclusions. The group, from the Moscow Center of Conservative and Social Policy, briefed Putin earlier this week and presented their findings to the presidium of the State Duma on Thursday, according to Russian media.
In the outline of their report (in Russian) the group offers five future scenarios that range from preserving the status quo, to tightening authoritarian screws, to different paces of democratization. But the authors make clear that the "suppression of pluralism" under Putin has harmed Russia's development and the price of sticking with the status quo would be that "the system will degrade even more, and its ability to solve problems will decrease." Cracking down further could stimulate "protest moods (among the population)... and bring nationalist politicians or even criminals to power in the regions."
"All 21 of these expert groups were ordered to focus on different aspects of the economy, and not to broach political issues at all," says Nikolai Petrov, an expert with the Carnegie Endowment in Moscow. "What is most remarkable is that economists are now telling them that they need to deal with institutional change, and come up with a strategy for political reforms, or there will be no possibility to complete any economic ones."
Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, on Thursday denied that any limitations had been placed upon the expert groups, and cautioned that their findings were merely advisory and not expressions of government policy.
Or is talk of change just political maneuvering?
Critics argue that the think tank debates are for public consumption only and that Russia's direction remains firmly in the hands of entrenched interests – particularly state-owned or Kremlin-friendly oil, gas and metals giants – who abhor the idea of sweeping democratic change.
"This activity is happening because of the upcoming elections. Putin and Medvedev have detected that their popularity is dropping, and so they are ginning up a PR campaign," says Boris Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister and co-chair of the Solidarnost anti-Kremlin coalition.
According to a poll published by the independent Levada Center in Moscow this week, Putin's approval rating has sunk to a six-year low of 69 percent, while Medvedev's slumped to 66 percent, the lowest since he took office in 2008. While these findings may not sound at all dire to Western readers, such trends are taken very seriously in Russia's tightly-managed political culture, where trust in top leaders is considered synonymous with patriotism.
Mr. Nemtsov, whose United Freedom Party is currently struggling to obtain official registration, says proof of change will come only in practice and not in academic papers.
"Our goal is to get our party registered and choose a united opposition candidate for the upcoming presidential elections," he says. "If that isn't allowed to happen, it means there's no genuine political competition, and all this talk of change is unreal."
