Toby & the Rough Guide crew were just great to work with. Unlike some in the film industry, they were honest, decent, funny & were really kind to us, our staff & everyone we met along the way & we wish to thank them again most sincerely.

For a long time now, we haven't been able to reply or send email to Hotmail accounts, the emails just keep bouncing back to us. We know that the Hotmail mob (as do all the others too) get millions of spam emails each day to the millions of free email accounts they have & so the filtering they use has to be very strong to try & protect them & their customers from spam, phishing, the many internet scams & even those crazy Nigerian love letters !!!
It seems better with other Free Email accounts like Gmail and Yahoo etc, but with most of the Free Accounts & because we send you copies of our itineraries as attachments, our emails can often end up in your spam folder.
Often attachments can be malware, a virus
just a head ache so we understand the
security aspect of this.
People emailing from where they work may want to check to see if they have permission to receive personal emails & attachments during work time so you might like to add your personal email address too. The free accounts are OK but there's really nothing better than your own account & at about $2 a week, it's not such a bad idea.
And lastly, we know it's old fashioned but the best form of communication is still the spoken word & it's really worth a try. For just $1 or $2 call us here in VN (our Numbers are below) if there's anything you'd like to discuss.

And once again the mainstream media is reporting on the problems with sedative hypnotic drugs.
The same problems of death and higher risk of death is reported today, even when it has been reported on Natural Health News since 2005.
I want to know why things haven't changed in prescribing practices if this is such a major public health issue. And I ask why, if the risk of cancer is higher because of taking these drugs, would you want to take them?
Setting Big PhRMA profit aside, I also want to know why, if the "benefit" from these drugs is meagre, that other options are not made available to people with sleep issues.
If you have sleeping concerns and would like to learn about other and more natural ways to get real and restful sleep without drugs or drug hangover, get in touch with us through our Health Forensics program.
Sleeping pills 'linked to increased death risk'
Sleeping pills used by thousands of people in the UK appear to be linked with a higher death risk, doctors warn.
The American study in BMJ Open compared more than 10,000 patients on tablets like temazepam with 23,000 similar patients not taking these drugs.
Death risk among users was about four times higher, although the absolute risk was still relatively low.
Experts say while the findings highlight a potential risk, proof of harm is still lacking.
They say patients should not be alarmed nor stop their medication, but if they are concerned they should discuss this with their doctor or pharmacist.
UK guidelines for NHS staff say hypnotic drugs should only be used for short periods of time because of tolerance to the drug and the risk of dependency. But they make no mention of an associated death risk, despite other studies having already reported this potential risk.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said it would consider the results of this latest study and whether it has any implications for current prescribing guidance.
Millions prescribedIn 2010 in England, there were 2.8 million prescriptions dispensed for temazepam and almost 5.3 million for another common sleeping pill called zopiclone.
There were also more than 725,000 prescriptions dispensed for zolpidem and more than 9,400 for zaleplon, two other drugs in this same family.
The latest study looked at a wide range of sleeping pills, including drugs used in the UK, such as benzodiazepines (temazepam and diazepam), non-benzodiazepines (zolpidem, zopiclone and zaleplon), barbiturates and sedative antihistamines.
The investigators, from the Jackson Hole Centre for Preventive Medicine in Wyoming and the Scripps Clinic Viterbi Family Sleep Centre in California, found that people prescribed these pills were 4.6 times more likely to die during a 2.5-year period compared to those not on the drugs. Overall, one in every 16 patients in the sleeping pill group died (638 out of 10,531 in total) compared to one in every 80 of the non-users (295 deaths out of 23,674 patients). This increased risk was irrespective of other underlying health conditions, such as heart and lung diseases, and other factors like smoking and alcohol use, which the researchers say they did their best to rule out. The researchers say it is not yet clear why people taking sleeping tablets may be at greater risk. The drugs are sedating and this may make users more prone to falls and other accidents. The tablets can also alter a person's breathing pattern as they sleep and they have been linked to increased suicide risk.
'Meagre benefits'In this latest study, those taking the highest doses of sleeping tablets also appeared to be at greater risk of developing cancer.
The researchers say: "The meagre benefits of hypnotics, as critically reviewed by groups without financial interest, would not justify substantial risks."
They say even short-term use may not be justifiable.
But Malcolm Lader, professor of clinical psychopharmacology at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, said people should not panic as a result of the findings.
"The study needs to be replicated in a different sample and I think we need to hold judgement until we have further studies.
"What we don't want is people stopping sleeping tablets and then going through a very disturbing period of insomnia.
"People should discuss this with their GP but should not under any circumstances stop taking their medication."
Nina Barnett, of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, said: "This is an important study and although it is unlikely to radically change prescribing in the immediate term, it should raise awareness and remind both patients and prescribers to the potential risks of sedative use for insomnia.
"The association between mortality and sedation is not new and this research tells us that people who took these medicines were more likely to die than people who didn't take them.
"However it does not mean that the deaths were caused by the medicine."
A spokesman for the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry said the safety of medicines was closely monitored and continued even after regulatory approval.

Michael Wolber and April Hartley were all ready for their wedding.
The ceremony was scheduled for Saturday in Bend, Oregon – but before they could walk down the aisle, brush fires about six miles away churned into a giant wildfire.
Firefighters told the crowd to evacuate – so following the ceremony, the reception was moved to a park out of harm's way.
While the guests, caterers and DJ moved to the new location, the couple snuck away with photographer Josh Newton to take some wedding photos with the wildfire as a backdrop. That wildfire has grown to 6,000 acres, leaving local residents worried - but giving one couple added reminder to appreciate the special moments.

Emily Heist Moss has gone on lots of Internet dates. She shares some tips she's learned along the way.
I go on a lot of dates, so many, in fact, that I've forgotten most of them. Months afterwards, I see these gentlemen around the city and I can't place them, wondering if we were in a class together in college, or if they go to my yoga studio. Only hours later do I realize that we had shared a plate of sweet potato fries and an hour of stilted conversation.
I'm an online dater, and unlike the hoards who are compelled to create a profile at the urging of well-meaning relatives and friends, or those who reluctantly browse the meager pool of potentials, or those who feel the Internet is a last resort for the weak and desperate, I actually enjoy myself.
I'm not alone in my optimism, but I've compared notes with enough other online daters to know that folks can get pretty riled up about meeting Internet dates in "real" life without the protection of an alias and a glowing screen. So with no further ado, a few tips and tricks on maintaining your dignity (and sanity) when taking your digital flirting into the scary world of face-to-face dating:
Note: For the purposes of simplicity, I'm writing as a woman dating men and pronouns will reflect that. For the record, this advice stands for same sex dating.
1. This Person is Not Your Soulmate
How do I know? I just do, OK? Even if the date across the table from you is your soulmate (whatever that term means), acting if that's likely leads nowhere except back to your couch, disappointed, and clutching a pint of ice cream. The point of online dating is to cast a wider net than your existing social life enables you to cast. You will meet more people and different people, but not necessarily better people. No matter how great your messages were, people are different on paper than in person.
I head into each date hoping for a pleasant conversation with a friendly, interesting person; that is exactly as high as I'm willing to set the bar. Those of you who have been around the block know that your dates will miss that mark more often than you'd think.
Setting reasonable expectations lets you get the most out of bad dates and makes the good ones seem like a pleasant surprise. Removing the soulmate expectation also takes the pressure off of date preparation and post-date communication (See below).
2. Comfort is King
Once you rid yourself of the idea that this mystery date is your soulmate (he is not), the pressure to be your most perfect, pristine self is off. The high heels in which you can't do more than wobble uncertainly? Ditch 'em. The top that makes your cleavage look great but will have you tugging it up or down all evening? Toss it. More makeup than you're comfortable in? More hair gel, new perfume, too-stiff jeans, or the itchy sweater that someone once told you flattered your shoulders? Get rid of it all.
Being comfortable in your own skin is attractive. Itching, squirming, tugging, twisting, sucking in, pushing out, these actions scream, "I am uncomfortable and I am trying to impress you!" Wouldn't you rather wear the comfy jeans and the cute flats and your normal amount of mascara and feel like yourself?
After all, the you that you present is the one you want this new person to like, right? How would you feel down the line if they went for the you that was squeezed into uncomfortable contraptions, painted three layers deep, and wearing the shoes that make you walk like a newborn giraffe? You both are in for a rude awakening.
There's nothing wrong with trying to look nice (I would say deodorant is probably a wise baseline), but don't pull out the big guns. When you aren't distracted by your body rebelling against your tough fashion choices, you'll be at your most charming and interesting.
3. It's a Two-Way Street
I have friends who get preposterously bent out of shape if an online date doesn't call for a second date. "I thought you didn't really like that guy?" I say, confused. "I didn't," they say, "but it would still be nice if he called." Face palm.
Set aside for a moment the sexist notion that men are "supposed" to do the calling and focus for a minute on the inanity of this line of thought. Online dating is hard enough without you using it as a personal ego-boost. Give your dates a little credit and don't waste each other's time.
If you start racking up double digits like me, you're going to encounter exactly four scenarios: A) you like each other, B) you like him, he doesn't like you, C) he likes you, you don't like him, and D) you don't like each other. Situation A is obviously the optimal scenario, but situation D is the next best by a mile. Situation D lets you both say a polite, "Thanks, but no thanks," and move on with your lives. You should be thrilled when the one you don't like doesn't like you either because it means fewer uncomfortable texts sent and received.
Situations B and C can be tricky, no doubt about it, but they are not the end of the world. All you've invested is an hour or two of your time and the cost of a glass of wine or coffee (see #4). Send a polite "I'm flattered but I'm not feeling it, best of luck" text and be on your merry way. When you get that text yourself, let that roll right off. You don't like everyone, everyone isn't going to like you; it's called being human.
4. Keep the Cost Down
This is a first date. It will mostly likely not lead to anything, that's just statistics. You are both taking a little leap of faith here, so financial equality is the way to go. Start small with a drink or coffee date, and leave a little room if you want to follow it with a walk, another drink, a meal, etc. Split the tab because you're both adults and there's no good reason you shouldn't share both the perks and burdens of this little social experiment.
5. Honesty is the Best Policy
End of the date etiquette is tough, but being dishonest does you both a disservice. If you don't want to see him again, for the love of online daters everywhere, don't say you'd like to see him again! Did you have a nice time? Are you glad you met up? Was it nice to meet him? Did you enjoy dinner? These are all fine, polite, true phrases.
The flip is even more essential. If you would like to see this person again, say so! Be a grown-up and say the words, "I had a good time and I'd like to see you again." There, was that so hard? If your date is a stand-up human being, they will give you an honest response. And if it's not what you want to hear, just remember that you can't win them all, and you've likely inflicted the same disappointment on a date in the past. We're all in this together.
Is this a foolproof plan for avoiding first-date awkwardness? Of course not. Dating is awkward because people are awkward and this is an unavoidable fact. But does it have to be soul-crushingly embarrassing, fraught with disappointment, dashed expectations, and uncomfortable underwear? Absolutely not.

Carl Jones- Everything You Need to Know for a Healthy, Positive Birth Experience
Carl Jones - The Birth Partner Handbook: Everything You Need to Know for a Healthy, Positive Birth Experience
By Publisher: Sourcebooks 2010 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1402237790 | PDF | 12 MB
The Birth Parter Handbook is a concise, contemporary guide for today's birth partners, showing them exactly what they can do to help create a positive birth experience, whether the mother gives birth naturally or with medication, at home, in a childbearing center, or in a hospital. With a special emphasis on the psychological changes of labor, this guide also introduces a new approach to understanding labor made popular through the author's nationwide childbirth workshops, called the "laboring mind response."
Birth partners will gain new insight into the mother's altered state of mind and altered behavior during labor, and be given an easy-to-follow, eight-step method that teaches the mind to cooperate with the body and will help make childbirth less stressful and more natural for the mother.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
This update addresses the following security issues:
the sendmsg() function in the Linux kernel did not block during UNIX socket garbage collection. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service. (CVE-2008-5300, Important)
when fput() was called to close a socket, the __scm_destroy() function in the Linux kernel could make indirect recursive calls to itself. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service. (CVE-2008-5029, Important)
a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel virtual file system (VFS) implementation. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to make a series of file creations within deleted directories, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2008-3275, Moderate)
a buffer underflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel IB700 SBC watchdog timer driver. This deficiency could lead to a possible information leak. By default, the "/dev/watchdog" device is accessible only to the root user. (CVE-2008-5702, Low)
the hfs and hfsplus file systems code failed to properly handle corrupted data structures. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service. (CVE-2008-4933, CVE-2008-5025, Low)
a flaw was found in the hfsplus file system implementation. This could, potentially, lead to a local denial of service when write operations were performed. (CVE-2008-4934, Low)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
when running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 and 4.7 on some systems running Intel® CPUs, the cpuspeed daemon did not run, preventing the CPU speed from being changed, such as not being reduced to an idle state when not in use.
mmap() could be used to gain access to beyond the first megabyte of RAM, due to insufficient checks in the Linux kernel code. Checks have been added to prevent this.
attempting to turn keyboard LEDs on and off rapidly on keyboards with slow keyboard controllers, may have caused key presses to fail.
after migrating a hypervisor guest, the MAC address table was not updated, causing packet loss and preventing network connections to the guest. Now, a gratuitous ARP request is sent after migration. This refreshes the ARP caches, minimizing network downtime.
writing crash dumps with diskdump may have caused a kernel panic on Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) systems with certain memory configurations.
on big-endian systems, such as PowerPC, the getsockopt() function incorrectly returned 0 depending on the parameters passed to it when the time to live (TTL) value equaled 255, possibly causing memory corruption and application crashes.
a problem in the kernel packages provided by the RHSA-2008:0508 advisory caused the Linux kernel's built-in memory copy procedure to return the wrong error code after recovering from a page fault on AMD64 and Intel 64 systems. This may have caused other Linux kernel functions to return wrong error codes.
a divide-by-zero bug in the Linux kernel process scheduler, which may have caused kernel panics on certain systems, has been resolved.
the netconsole kernel module caused the Linux kernel to hang when slave interfaces of bonded network interfaces were started, resulting in a system hang or kernel panic when restarting the network.
the "/proc/xen/" directory existed even if systems were not running Red Hat Virtualization. This may have caused problems for third-party software that checks virtualization-ability based on the existence of "/proc/xen/". Note: this update will remove the "/proc/xen/" directory on systems not running Red Hat Virtualization.
All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

Brazil barely managed to get everything ready in time for the World Cup. Russia insists it won't have any such problems in 2018, although the country faces other pressing issues — including racism and violence, reports AP.
Just like in Brazil, the sheer size of Russia is set to cause logistical challenges for organizers and fans in 2018, with thousands of kilometers (miles) separating some host cities. But the successful staging of the Sochi Winter Olympics in February without any major organizational problems has raised Russians' confidence in producing a high-class tournament.
After the games, Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told parliament that Russia would avoid the "Brazilian scenario" of massive construction delays.
Of the 12 stadiums in 11 host cities, two are complete but must be reconfigured to host football. A third, the Spartak Stadium in Moscow, will open in September. The others, including Moscow's 81,000-capacity Luzhniki where the final will be played, are new projects where construction has either started or will begin this year.
The Russian government insists it will complete the stadiums on time, although Mutko told local media in March that some aspects of the design process "gave cause for disquiet" as deadlines were missed.
"That is a normal working concern," organizing committee head Alexei Sorokin told The Associated Press. "That does not mean we are lying down calmly and waiting for things to happen. It suggests that we are … attentive to it."
Six stadiums still need to go through a design certification process before construction enters full swing.
"All of the projects are being developed pretty much at the same speed, with one or two exceptions," architect Peter Lavelle of the Populous firm, which designed the Kazan and Sochi stadiums and is working on the Saransk and Rostov-on-Don arenas, told The AP.
But as long as projects remain uncertified, delays are inevitable, warned construction analyst Vitalie Iambla of consultancy firm PMR.
"We will have also stadiums built. A few weeks or months before the first whistle of the tournament," he said, adding that rising building material costs and the ruble's decline against other currencies over the last year are likely to cause cost overruns.
The government's model for the new stadiums is the Kazan Arena, which opened on time last year costing around $400 million.
The St. Petersburg stadium, however, is a sign of what can go wrong. The 69,000-capacity arena, which will host a 2018 semifinal, is scheduled to open in 2016, far beyond its one-time finishing date of December 2008. During that time, construction has been marred by delays while costs have soared to $1.1 billion, something Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has labeled "disgraceful."
But a bigger issue may be fan racism, after incidents in Russian club football in recent years.
Monkey chants aimed at Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure by CSKA Moscow fans during a Champions League game in November earned the club the first of two UEFA racism sanctions last season, and highlighted Russian football's problems with discrimination and violence. Last season also saw a swastika flag waved at a Spartak Moscow game, and a violent pitch invasion by Zenit St. Petersburg supporters in which an opposition player was punched in the head.
"Russian football is making certain efforts towards combatting (racism)," Sorokin said. "This thing exists everywhere, we are no exception. So we are going to do what we can."
Some Russian clubs' fans have shown they are "on a different planet in terms of their mindset," said Piara Powar, head of anti-discrimination group FARE, which is monitoring Russia ahead of 2018. "We have football fans going on the rampage, looking to attack visible ethnic minorities. So in that sense, the whole shebang is there and it's getting worse."
Last year, Russia passed its Fan Law, which introduces stadium bans for troublemakers at sports events. Powar said the law was "very stringent" but needs to be accompanied by education initiatives.
The budget for the World Cup has been set at 660 billion rubles ($19.24 billion), but the question of total costs is thorny. The official figure covers the stadiums and some stadium-related infrastructure, but not other developments such as around $20 billion of rail upgrades linked to the World Cup preparations by the Transport Ministry.
Another worry for Russia is the performance of its team, which was knocked out in the group stage in Brazil without a win. That poor performance put coach Fabio Capello's job in question, while renewed focus is being given to developing young players for 2018 and even naturalizing foreign talent, a suggestion that in recent months has been mooted in the government.
However, one thing is on Russia's side. As host, it will not need to qualify.

U.S. again cites state secrets in Qwest case
Attorneys for the U.S. Intelligence Community on Monday asked a federal judge to postpone testimony from a potential witness in the SEC's civil fraud case against former Qwest officials, stating that it "reasonably could be expected to cause damage to the foreign relations, national defense and national security of the United States."
U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger denied the motion. The potential witness in question is Sharon Black, a telecommunications attorney. She is slated to be questioned today by defense and government attorneys to determine whether she will testify during trial, if the case goes that far.
"However, in an attempt to accommodate the legitimate national security concerns of the United States, counsel for the United States may appear at the hearing and interpose a timely objection should any question to or answer," Krieger said in her order Monday.
The SEC accuses former Qwest CEO Joe Nacchio, former president Afshin Mohebbi, former chief financial officer Robert Woodruff and former accountants Frank Noyes and James Kozlowski of orchestrating a fraud that inflated the Denver company's revenue by $3 billion from 1999 to 2002.
Black, a proposed defense witness, is expected to testify that when Qwest was selling network rights about a decade ago – or indefeasible rights of use (IRUs) – the company wasn't pawning off its network because it has more than enough fiber to meet its needs for 50 to 60 years. Qwest had been accused of swapping IRUs with other carriers in a scheme to boost its bottomline. While some of its trade partners booked revenue from IRU sales over the length of the contract – sometimes as long as 25 years – Qwest would record the revenue as a one-time, lump sum. The company ultimately paid $250 million to settle SEC allegations that it duped investors, but didn't admit or deny guilt.
The SEC is seeking the repayment of salaries, bonuses and stock sale profits from the officials charged in the pending case.
In 2007, Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell invoked the
state-secrets privilege, arguing that disclosure of certain information by the defense could "cause damage to the foreign relations and the national defense of the United States."
Attorneys for the intelligence community said in its motion Monday it believes that "if Ms. Black's testimony is allowed to proceed at this point, the protective order may be implicated."
In filings connected to his criminal insider trading case, Nacchio suggested that the NSA sought phone, Internet and other customer records from Qwest in early 2001. When he refused to hand over the information, the agency retaliated by not granting lucrative contracts to the Denver-based company, he claimed. Nacchio said the anticipation of those contracts was one reason he had an upbeat outlook on Qwest. The government alleged Nacchio dumped millions of dollars in Qwest shares in early 2001 because he knew the company was struggling financially.
That NSA defense, however, wasn't used during the criminal trial. Nacchio was convicted on 19 counts of insider trading and began serving a six-year prison term in April.

Aircraft plant could bring 2,500 jobs to Brevard County
Northrop Grumman waiting on request for incentives
A new aircraft plant in Brevard County could result in 2,500 direct and indirect jobs for Melbourne, according to a new economic analysis.
Northrop Grumman has been turning out airplanes in Melbourne for years, but its announcement about a new center of excellence with almost 1,000 employees is a huge lift.
A military aircraft contractor, AAR, has also moved in, along with a 747 refurbishment plant.
Amid all this, the county's Economic Development Commission is projecting another 1,500 spinoff jobs.
That would be beneficial for a place like Atlantic Jet Center, a refueling business that hasn't yet felt the economic upturn.
When asked about those 1,500 spinoff jobs in the airport area, economic officials downplayed the number and said the 1,000 Northrop Grumman jobs are the only ones that can be counted on.
Not even those are definite.
The company is awaiting a decision on its request for more than $4 million in incentives from local and state governments.

Tokyo, Japan
June 1, 2018
Tokyo, known as Edo until 1868, is a coastal city with an intricate history. In 1457, Edo Castle was constructed and in 1603 it became the seat of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Under the Tokugawas, the city was constructed in order to profit from the natural waterways that serve as transportation canals. By the early 1700's, the population of Tokyo was already estimated at 1.2 million, while the population of London and Paris was 650,000 and 500,000 respectively. In 1868, with the overthrow of the Tokugawas and the beginning of the Meiji era, Edo became capital of Japan under a new name, Tokyo, which means "Capital of the East" .
Tokyo's main sections lie either on or within the Japan Railways (JR) Yamanote line, a metro system that circles central Tokyo. At the center of this maze is the Imperial Palace, which is west of the exclusive Ginza and the commercial Marunouchi sectors. To the west of the Imperial Palace, you will find Akasaka then south of this area is Roppongi. To the western edge of Tokyo center is the bustling Shinjuku area. Ikebukuro is in the northwest, and the cultural center of the city, Ueno and Asakusa, is northeast of the Imperial Palace.
Population:12,002,369, Metro 31,224,700
Flight times: Honolulu- 8 hrs, Los Angeles- 12 hrs, Chicago- 13.5 hrs, New York- 15.5 hrs
The summers are hot and humid with frequent rain. The winter months are cold, although the temperature seldom drops below freezing.
Average Daily High/Low Temperature:
- Spring: High 62F/16 C, Low 46F/8 C
- Summer: High 81F/27 C, Low 69F/21 C
- Fall: High 70F/22 C, Low 56F/13 C
- Winter: High 48F/9 C, Low 32F/0 C
Tokyo Metro Area is served by two large airports:Narita and Haneda. All international carriers, with the exception of China Airlines, use Narita International Airport (formally known as the New Tokyo International Airport) which is 41 miles/66 km from center city. Most domestic air service goes through Haneda. The two airports are connected by a regular bus servicehttp://www.narita-airport.or.jp/airport_e/ OR http://www2f.biglobe.ne.jp/~masaho/us/indexus.htm
They generally available at all air and train terminals. As with any of the world's largest cities, they are ubiquitous.
NOTE: Unless you drive left side of the road and understand Japanese language and driving habits, try not to drive.
Three (not separating the individual private systems) train/metro systems service Tokyo: Shinkansen ('bullet train'),Japan Railways (JR) trains and private trains. Most of the major train lines terminate at Tokyo station on the JR Yamanote line. There are three shinkansen lines connecting Tokyo with the rest of Japan - check out the shinkansen for more details. For day trips to areas such as Kamakura, Nikko, Hakone and Yokohama, private trains are usually the most convenient means of transportation. Various buses go directly to Nagoya, Nara and Kobe. They generally terminate at Tokyo station. From Shinjuku station there are buses to the Fuji and Hakone regions.

I Know What It Must Feel Like To Be An Angels Fan…
As it stands today, and I realize that it is still early
January, the Boston Red Sox are clearly the class of the AL. The Yankees inability to snag a frontline
pitcher will haunt the team, and the missed opportunities to upgrade in other
areas will cost the team valuable victories in the highly competitive AL East.
Jim Davis/Boston Globe
At the moment, Ivan Nova represents the #4 starter behind
CC Sabathia, Phil Hughes and A.J. Burnett.
I'd argue that Burnett should be considered no more than a #4 if he can't
turn it around. Meanwhile, other teams
are getting stronger. The latest AL team
to improve was the Texas Rangers with the addition of former Boston third
baseman Adrian Beltre. I know that the
Rangers, like the Yankees, still need more starting pitching, but they've
clearly improved the offensive and defensive makeup of the team.
It appears that the Chicago Cubs have acquired pitcher
Matt Garza from the Tampa Bay Rays. At
face value, it would appear the move weakens the Rays for the short term,
particularly in light of the previous losses (namely Carl Crawford, Rafael Soriano,
and Carlos Pena). However, the Rays have
a rich farm system and of course they needed a spot in the rotation for high
end prospect Jeremy Hellickson. Everyone
seems to be writing off the Rays, but I fully expect them to be in the thick of
the race. Somehow, they are the New
England Patriots of baseball…they may suffer huge personnel loss but there's
always someone ready to step up their play as a replacement.
Jim Davis/Boston Globe
The rest of the division has gotten better, while the
Yankees have simply gotten older.
Last year, when the Rays trotted out Joaquin Benoit and
Rafael Soriano, it was game over. As it
stands, the Yankees set up crew consists of David Robertson and Joba
Chamberlain…a combo that was not consistent last year and forced the deadline
trade for Kerry Wood who solidified the position. I would have really liked to have seen the
Yanks pursue Soriano for the set up role, especially after his agent expressed
his willingness to set up for Mariano Rivera.
I was disappointed when GM Brian Cashman came out today to say there was
no chance of a Soriano signing since it would cost a first round pick. I get it.
The farm system is important and it has taken years for the Yankees to
rebuild the system after the cupboards were left bare. But still, it is hard not to think about how
effective a bullpen duo of Soriano-Rivera would be. It would probably be the best one-two punch
since the days of Rivera-Wetteland in the mid 90's.
It definitely sounds as though Andy Pettitte won't be
making the trip to Florida next month. I
want Andy to come back but I am okay if he decides to stay home. If he came and his heart wasn't in it, he
just wouldn't be the same pitcher we've come to rely upon. I wanted Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre to
come back this year and he did after much coaxing by his teammates, but the
results were horrific. Andy either has
to be "all in" or he should go ahead and hang up the glove. I would hate to see Andy leave with a Javier
Vazquez type of season.
The Yankees have made minor moves this off-season that I've
liked. The latest is the pick-up of
former Chicago Cubs reliever Brian Schlitter.
While he was not effective in his brief time with the major league club
last season, I have to believe this signing had much input from former Cubs,
and now Yankees, pitching coach Larry Rothschild. If Larry felt the Yanks should move on
Schlitter, then I feel he showed Larry enough to prove that he could be a
valuable and effective arm in the pen.
There's still time for the Yankees to make the necessary
moves to improve the roster and certainly if an "all in" Andy Pettitte signs up
for a final season, the team will look much better than it does today.
If they maintain the status quo, I can't help but wonder
how intense the pressure will be on manager Joe Girardi. Can he survive a season where he finishes
third (or worse) in the division? I am
not so sure. His best friend is his new
three year contract. Managing General
Partner Hal Steinbrenner is a numbers guy, and unlike his father, might not be
so willing to "eat" a contract. As much
as I would dislike the move, I can't help but think that the Yankees failure to
land a quality frontline starter has enhanced the chances that we will see
Bobby Valentine in the Yankees dugout.
Ugh, I hope it doesn't come to that…
Sadly, today brought the loss of another former Yankee
(Ryne Duren). Duren was a reliever for
the Yanks in the late 50's and early 60's, and was known for his coke bottle
glasses and 100 mph fastball. I liked
Yogi Berra's quote about Duren: "Ryne could throw the heck out of the ball. He threw
fear in some hitters. I remember he had several pair of glasses but it didn't
seem like he saw good in any of them." Duren
passed away in Florida on Thursday at the age of 81.

Congratulations to Jim Harbaugh, the new head coach of
the San Francisco 49ers. My favorite
Harbaugh moment still has to be in 1992 when the Chicago Bears were leading the
Minnesota Vikings 20-0 in the fourth quarter and the Vikings came back to win,
21-20. I can still remember the
frustrated Harbaugh wondering what hit him.
Nevertheless, I do wish him much success as he attempts to revitalize
the 49ers. It should be fun next season
when the Niners play the Baltimore Ravens, coached by Harbaugh's brother
Well, I guess I'll go back to waiting for the Yankees to
make a move…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Texas lawmakers are getting their first crack in the Legislature at grilling leaders of the state's troubled $3 billion cancer-fighting agency.
The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas is the focus Tuesday of a hearing before a powerful Senate panel. Public corruption prosecutors are investigating the once-celebrated institute that has ground to a halt over questionable awards involving millions in taxpayer dollars.
Republican state Sen. Jane Nelson, who filed the original bill creating CPRIT in 2007, chairs the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. That panel is expected to press agency leaders for answers.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Nelson has said she's not giving up on the unprecedented state-run cancer battle. CPRIT controls the nation's second-biggest pot of cancer research dollars in the nation, second only to the federal National Institutes of Health.

I've been spending the last 2 weeks on and off trying to build the Poky for AT91 with no luck when bitbaking atmel-qt5-demo-image for both dizzy and fido versions.
The Yocto build instructions I have been using is listed at linux4sam/bin/view/Linux4SAM/PokyBuild# ... y_for_AT91. Which I have found to be wrong and out of date thanks to 'wpd' on this forum when trying to build from 'dizzy'.
The answer from his post under: discussions/viewtopic.php/f,12/t,24987.html was to change all 'dizzy' branches to 'fido' apart from 'meta-qt5' which stays as the master branch.
Which I must say didn't work
I was also Informed by 'nferre' who was on the same post that the README file in meta-atmel repository is usually more up-to-date in terms of instructions:
https://github.com/linux4sam/meta-atmel ... ido/README
Which I followed and once again failed I have included at the bottom of this post.
Now for those playing at home I am trying to build poky from Ubuntu 14.04 which is running from Virtualbox. and yes I'm new to Linux.
Apart from downloading this package: sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat libsdl1.2-dev xterm
Is there anything else I need to install before building poky.
I've also noticed that on some instructions I've seen people have just typed "-b fido" at the end of 'git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky' for example is this a good alternative then downloading poky for example and then checking out 'origin/fido'. is this fine ?
What I really trying to say is, what is the 100% correct method for bitbaking atmel-qt5-demo-image from poky. As I'm surprised I've had so many issues.
Thank you for your time.
