DarkRadiant under Fedora 10
From the DarkRadiant site (http://darkradiant.sourceforge.net):
DarkRadiant is a customised version basing on GtkRadiant designed for use with the upcoming Dark Mod (www.thedarkmod.com), a Thief-inspired modification of the Doom 3 game engine.
It's like GtkRadiant, but with nicer features
First of all, you must have Doom3 installed !! I don't think it will work properly with Quake4 (missing dmap command, the map compiler) and I have it with other assets and it's working like a charm !
To copmile DarkRadiant under Fedora 10, we'll need the folowing tools and libraries installed:
"subversion"(svn), "gcc", "gcc-c++" (g++)
"boost-devel", "gtk2-devel", "glew-devel", "gtkglext-devel", "libxml2-devel", "freealut-devel" and "libvorbis-devel" (ooof !)
For yum users, just copy and execute this: "yum -y install subversion gcc gcc-c++ boost-devel gtk2-devel glew-devel gtkglext-devel libxml2-devel freealut-devel libvorbis-devel"
Now, it's time to compile !!
Open a terminal, my working directory is "/home/duke/Public", you can use any directory, you must just have writing permission
"svn co https://darkradiant.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/darkradiant/trunk/darkradiant/ DarkRadiant" and wait for all the files to be copied
Now, "cd DarkRadiant", you can check for updates using "svn up"
To compile it, follow the steps:
1- Run "./configure", if you want to enable the DarkMod plugins, use: "./configure –enable-darkmod-plugins"
2- Type "make", so it will get compiled.
3- Installation: login as root by typing "su", enter the root password when needed, then, enter "make install"
Note: if you don't have root access, or wish to install DarkRadiant on another directory, add this option to the "./configure", –prefix=YOUR_DIRECTORY , for example, if I want to install DarkRadinat under /home/duke/Public: "./configure –prefix=/home/duke/Public"
Now, after the compilation process is a success, launch darkradiant simply by typing "darkradiant" on a terinal ! The first time, it it complains about a missing directory, choose "No" or input nothing in the "Game Mod (fs_base)" field if you want to use only the "base" dir. if you want to use your own mod assets, create a new folder under "/usr/local/games/doom3" called "my_mod" or whatever you want, then, create a zip file containing an empty directory "script", and rename this file.zip to file.pk4.
Nice Mapping 🙂

Settlers using government transition to step up construction
Monday, March 30, 2009 at 12:24AM
|By Amos Harel
|30 March 2009 Haaretz
Construction activity on West Bank settlements has increased in the transition period between the February general election and the formation of the new government, Haaretz has learned.
One notable example is the extensive earthworks being carried out in preparation for the construction of a road connect the settlement of Eli, north of Ramallah, with the Hayovel outpost Yuval, just south of the Arab city.
The earthworks are being carried out on private land owned by residents of the Palestinian village of Qaryut. The mayor, Abd al-Latif Lavum, plans to submit a petition today to the High Court of Justice demanding the issuing of a stop order to the Civil Administration to halt the work.
Dror Etkes, Lands Project Coordinator for the nonprofit organization Yesh Din, which is facilitating the High Court petition, said that the organization's records show the Eli-Hayovel road to be the largest such roadwork project related to the illegal outposts since since the publication of the Sasson Report on activity in the outposts in 2005.
Etkes, who has been monitoring Jewish construction in the West Bank for years, said that the construction began in Eli about two weeks ago. A dirt road was built between the two communities in 2003, but further development of the road was halted.
Etkes said that dozens of trucks brought gravel and earth over the past two weeks for the foundation of the 1,400-meter-long road. The cost of the project is estimated at a few million shekels. More than 90 percent of the road's course passes through privately owned Palestinian lands.
"While public attention was focused on the fighting in Gaza and the election campaign, we have been seeing a renewed effort on the part of settlers in outposts to increase construction," Etkes said.
He said this renewed effort put an end to a period of relative inactivity that he ascribed to criticism from the United States of construction in the territories combined with tighter enforcement by Israeli authorities.
In addition to the Eli-Hayovel road, Yesh Din has documented recent work at the Havat Gilad outpost, west of Nablus, where settlers built a road to the Nablus bypass road.
The Defense Ministry said in a statement that Defense Minister Ehud Barak and the defense establishment are committed to enforcing law and order in the West Bank and have prevented the creation of new outposts as well as removing people from existing ones.
"Minister Barak has instructed law enforcement authorities to act with determination against violations during the transition period as well," the statement said.
The Yesha Council of Jewish Settlements said the High Court petition was "a legal provocation."

Not all the films are great, but they are all worth checking out.
Alien: 5/5 Stars. A great Sci-fi Horror Film, not alot to be said about it besides the fact that it's awesome and it needs to be scene.
Aliens: 4/5 Stars. It's really a different kind of film than the first so they can't really be compared, but it's a great sci-fi action film.
Alien 3: 2/5 Stars. Easily the worst of the series. Ruined some parts of the 2 film and didn't add anything of value to the series. (excpet for showing that the aliens take on attributes of the speciecs they impregnate.)
Alien Resurrection: 3/5 Stars. An okay action film. The high points are great cinematography, good action, some fun characters, and of course getting to see the aliens more. The low points are WAY over the top acting, the fact that the film shouldn't exist with what happens at the end of Alien 3, and the stupid government stereotype.
Hope that helps someone! If you have the chance, watch all of them If you just want good movies, watch Alien and Aliens. Enjoy.

guns n roses
Picture this. There you are in Whole Foods getting some sushi for lunch after a gorgeous morning at the beach. You're waiting for your friend, when some guy (okay some really hot guy) comes up to you and asks you about your Guns N Roses shirt. He starts talking a mile a minute about Axl Rose and asks you what your favorite song is. You draw a complete blank and can't even remember the song by them that everyone knows. Ugh.
I guess the lesson here is if you're going to wear a band shirt, make sure you have some background knowledge of the band before wearing it. No matter how cute it is. Or do what I did and laugh around what he said and then completely change the subject. You've all been advised.

Most of us recycle and reuse, thereby reducing our landfill footprint by paying attention to how we dispose of waste. We've been trained to save cans and bottles, put recycled waste into separate containers, maybe even compost our organic matter and dutifully incorporate earth-friendly choices. We teach our children to do the same, and to respect wildlife and to love the earth. Yes, we are real sticklers for the environment, but, yet, we still follow the age-old tradition of releasing balloons for school events, grand openings, weddings, memorial services and other ceremonies. If you think about it, what's the difference if someone throws a piece of trash out of a car window, or tosses it up into the sky? We never think of where that balloon will end up, but it's likely it will make it to National Forest land or other wild and open space where it can pose a real risk to wildlife, not to mention, littering areas previously untouched for the most part by humans. It is getting more difficult to find places that are not impacted by humans in one way or another.
Both Mylar balloons and latex balloons pose a threat. In addition, the attached ribbons have been known to entangle birds, especially waterfowl and other large birds. There are stories about sea turtles swallowing balloons thinking they are jelly fish, desert tortoises mistaking the bright colors for tasty flowers and marine mammals ingesting them in their normal feeding behaviors. It's not cool.
The field crew at Transition Habitat rarely, if ever, return from the field without picking up at least a couple of balloons out of shrubs, cactus or floating across the ground. I was recently exploring in one of our desert project areas and found six separate Mylar balloons within a few acres. Multiply this by millions of acres of private and public wildlands. It's astounding. These balloons are not going to go away. There are so many ways to celebrate events without using them. All it takes is for the word to get out, for you to stand up against balloon releases in general and suggest alternative ideas to your friends, associates and family.
Contact your area's local Resource Conservation District or native plant nursery to get seeds from local native plants and create native plant seed bombs. Kids can have fun making them and then "plant" the bombs into their own yards. With a little planning, a tree or native shrub can be planted in honor or memory of a loved one. Or how about a Birthday/volunteer day at a local non-profit with donations given in the name of the guest of honor? Clean up a trash-filled lot in your neighborhood, then go home and celebrate. Try to use party supply decorations that can be reused or recycled. Throw bird seed instead of balloons! Think of creative and self-sustaining ways to celebrate while encouraging no waste. -W.Walker

The Spring Garden Show last month was a huge success. I was presenting some of my new textures and glazes, and most everything was gone up by the end of the show.
I decided to plant up some of my pots, so I searched everywhere for special specimen plants they would complement the planters. My aesthetic is "organic contemporary", so I wanted something beautiful and architectural.
The show stopper was the Myrtillocactus geometrizans, aka crested blue candle cactus. I have fallen in love with these beautiful creatures. They are so unique, and remind me of ocean coral with all its different formations.
My other favorite is the Graptopetalum pentandrum. I found some that were blooming with branches of delicate flowers. They are so majestic, but feminine and made a statement all on it's own.

vertical logic
This is the second post in a series on helping ensure that the story you want to tell comes across clearly in your communication. The previous post was on horizontal logic. In this post, we'll briefly discuss horizontal logic's cousin: vertical logic.
Vertical logic means that all information on a given slide is self-reinforcing. The content reinforces the title and vice versa. The words reinforce the visual and vice versa. There isn't any extraneous or unrelated information. Much of the time, the decision on what to eliminate or push to an appendix is as important (sometimes more so) as the decision on what to retain.
Employing horizontal and vertical logic together will help ensure that the story you want to tell comes across clearly in your communication.
Next in this series, I'll reveal what I mean with the term Bing, Bang, Bongo.

Altering Your Diet Plan? Try These Nutrition Idea
A healthy lifestyle is accessible to everyone. Here are suggestions to guide you into making good decisions on what you eat. They will show that the steps you need to take in order to eat a healthy balanced diet can be very simple.
If you want your children to eat better foods, get them involved in the cooking process and they will be more likely to eat what they make themselves. Children love to be creative and the kitchen is an excellent place to do so. When they experience how good food is made it builds excitement to eat it.
Always eat a balanced diet. The ideal diet for most people, consists of about 20 percent protein, 30 percent fat and between 50 and 55 percent carbohydrates. Most people are aware that too much fat is bad, however, too little can be bad, as well. The same goes for carbohydrates.
When considering nutrition for your child, it is important to focus on the meal when it is meal weblink time. This is important because when a child is distracted from their meal by the television, overeating is always possible, as is the desire for unhealthy foods that are advertised. Keep the television out of the kitchen, and instead engage in conversation at the table.
Vegetables are one of the cornerstones of proper nutrition. To be sure that your daily vitamin and nutrient requirements are met, eat a wide variety of vegetables in as many colors as you can throughout the day. For instance, try eating green broccoli, red peppers and orange carrots to vary the types of vitamins that your body is getting. Aim for eating http://www.womenshealthmag.com/food/best-probiotics at least three servings of vegetables each day.
Studies have recommended that a stress-free life will increase the overall health of any person. Meditating and stretching are methods that can easily be implemented to a daily routine. This can help reduce pain associated with muscle tension. These simple recommendations will improve a person's overall well-being.
Regularly consuming lean meats to significantly increase your muscle growth. By eating four to eight servings of lean beef, fish, turkey, and chicken, you should experience greater muscle mass than someone who follows a similar workout program but does not regularly eat a diet in which meat is present.
Choose lean proteins for a heart healthy diet. Chicken and other poultry fulfill this, but make sure to leave the skin out. In addition, bake, broil, or roast your protein rather than frying it. White meat is usually a healthier choice than dark meat.
A great nutritional tip is to set a good example for your child. You want to make healthy choices because - how you eat - will directly influence how your child eats. If you eat unhealthy and your diet is terrible, chances are your child will adopt the same habits.
Do not use nutritional bars or protein bars as a replacement for meals. Often media and commercials will tell you that these bars are a great way to lose weight but they may have an adverse effect on your diet. Sometimes a strict diet is the one of the only ways to lose weight.
Biotin is very important to consume in adequate amounts because it is used in cellular respiration, which is the way calories are turned into energy. Good sources of biotin include foods like plain egg yolks (the egg white binds biotin), liver, and peanuts. The simplest way to add it to your diet is to take a supplement.
Nutrition is just as important before you get pregnant as it is during pregnancy. So start now by replacing soft drinks with water. There is no nutrition in soda to help your body get ready for the stresses of growing a baby. Water helps clear the body of toxins to make sure you are in top shape before you conceive.
Don't go to the store when you are hungry. If you are hungry then your blood sugar is probably low. If your blood sugar is low, then your body will crave sweets, fats and carbohydrates in order to give it the quick boost in insulin and sugar it wants. Avoid the temptation by having a healthy meal or snack before you shop.
Make your own breakfast smoothie for a healthy first thing in the morning pick me up. Use low-fat milk for a healthier option. Pour it in a blender along with some ice cubes. Throw in some fresh fruit like bananas, strawberries, and blueberries and get ready for a real treat.
Do not get yourself on the diet roller-coaster. There are so many different diet plans out there that many people will try for a few weeks and then go back to their unhealthy eating patterns. If you just skip the diet plan and start eating healthy foods, you will have much better success in controlling your weight.
After reading these tips, you can begin to understand what it takes to become a healthier person by eating right. There is a lot of information available and you need to know how to apply it to your diet. With this in mind, you can improve your own diet and goals to live healthier.

text: For years I've been telling students you only get one mark of punctuation at the end of a sentence. Decide if you want it to be a question mark or an exclamation mark. You don't get two. The students might, of course, use the interrobang. It's a punctuation mark invented by Martin K. Spekter in 1962. The name comes from a combination of the question mark (interrogaton point) and the exclamation mark, called a bang in printer's jargon. The American Heritage Dictionary accepts the spelling interabang as well. The OED has no entry under either spelling. It's availabble in Wingdings 2 in Word. Merriam-Webster says interrobang rhymes with oragutan, but it's a slant rhyme at best. Here's a great article about the interrobang from Shady Characters: the secret life of punctuation.

*** Our coffee & record subscription service is no longer available! ***
For us, coffee and vinyl records compliment one another. Creating specialty coffee is a ritual in the same way that spinning vinyl is. Both require one to take a little extra time to focus on the product and method.
As fans of coffee, we care about origin, roaster, roast profile, and extraction. Brewing a cup of fantastic coffee makes the consumer a part of the process that begins with the farmer and ends with that magical liquid in your mug. The consumer has the power and control to bring out the best in that coffee.
We believe the musical experience is heightened on vinyl, allowing the listener to feel a part of the musical process. Pulling out a vinyl record from the shelf, dropping the needle, staring at the cover, and placing it prominently by the turntable allows you to be part of the magic.
Combining these two experiences is what inspired us to open our café and introduce this subscription service. We cherish those moments during the week when we can drop the needle, prepare a pour over, relax, and sink into the experience.
Our subscription delivers that experience to you in a box sent directly to your door every month/two months. Our coffee offering rotates month to month between the finest international and U.S. roasters. Each coffee is paired with a record chosen based on the coffee or coffee roaster's country/state of origin. Our favorite international roasters (and artists) are featured in odd months, and U.S. roasters (and artists) are featured in even months.
We listen to records and drink coffee all day, every day at our shop. This subscription service is our way of including you in our daily ritual of coffee and music. We want to welcome you to the Purple Llama, whether you're here with us in person, or just in spirit!

Landscape Photography | Lake Wood, Sussex
Lake Wood is only 5 minutes from where we live but it's a bit of a pain to get to it. This is the reason I've never been here before. I thought it would be pretty quiet but there were a fair few people around...probably because it was a sunny day and also a Bank Holiday.
A beautiful sunny Bank Holiday Monday, the plan was to try out some filters but it didn't go to plan. I've recently purchased some polarising filters and some ND filters and had hoped to use them but due to me not having the right adaptor for one of the lens I didn't get the chance.
Instead, I captured some bracketed shots and I hope you like them.

Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo: two Brazillian cities of immense contrast. Different one from the other, and huge contrast within each city.
Rio is about 8 million and SP 20+ (pop of Aust!) Huge numbers of poor. Lovely warm people. Security and health - 2 issues that hit you in the face when you come here. Great little corner stores and small bakeries, but also huge shopping malls and chain stores. Quite reasonable prices (though more expensive than Argentina.) Traffic! Traffic! Traffic! Great not driving. Stop signs and stop lights are really just guidelines here as we found last night coming home from Carnaval in a taxi. Big Spanish and Portuguese influence everywhere and Japanese in SP. Efficient and well-patronised metro and bus systems. Nearly all 4 cyl vehicles with the ODD Mitsubishi Pajero. (Like our car.) Pajeros cost a heap (R$200,000) and are often tagetted by bad dudes, so they put in bullet-proof glass! Even seen 5 Commodores!
The 30 m tall Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks Rio was erected in 1931. It is a reminder of Christ´s love for us all, with the statue´s outstretched arms. Indeed, Christ IS the redeemer!
And Carnaval! Unbelievable! Such activity, costumes, elaborate floats, everyone dancing. Hey, costumes doesn´t do justice at all! I think we took as many photos as we did at the falls. The floats and dancers from each school took over an hour to go the full length of the straight with us and everybody else up in the stands resembling the straight at Bathurst car races. There were 7 schools represented, with each school having 4 to 6 gigantic floats. The place was lit up like fairyland.
Too bad I don´t have enough time and space to tell you about dinner at Buffalo Grill. Like the Mercedes Benz version of our Sizzlers. Talk about Food Glorious Food! But then you had to be there .... dining with Jovita, Marcello the King, and the Renata/Roberta/Mum trio. Even Peta pigged out. Glad Jeremy had a crack at the chicken hearts too.
See you in Peru.

There´s no way I can do justice to this spectacular sight. (Thanks for trying Deb.) We get used to relying on photographs and movie/video footage to tell our stories, and I have not been able (yet) to get a photo posted here except when I have my own computer.
Firstly the falls are HUGE! No, they´re GIGANTIC! There are various parts to the Iguazu Falls. There are three countries that share the falls – Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. One day we went to the National Park in Argentina and wandered about, seeing aspects of the Falls. They are absolutely awesomein the amount of water going over, the shape of the falls, the extent of the many waterfalls and the spectacular river they drop into. We decided to hang the expense and take our travel agent´s (Kim) advice and have a speedboat ride to the bottom of the falls. It was a real thrill, a heap of fun and the driver took us under the falls, not once but three times. He would ask us (in Spanish) do you want to go again, and we would shout DOOCHA (well something like that)… which meant shower! We were absolutely drenched! Head to toe! Couldn´t have got wetter if we´d fallen overboard which Jeremy threatened to do.
Entry to the park was 30 p each and 45 p each for the speedboat ride. Total about $35 A each. Pretty reasonable.
The next day we took all our luggage, our excess baggage and the five of us headed for Brazil. It sounds simple, but it´s a tricky operation and you can come undone pretty easily. You first get to a checkpoint where you are exiting Arg. So far so good… passports etc. Then another 2 km and you reach the next checkpoint – entry to Brazil. This time take all luggage with you. Off the bus. Next you have to take your passport and other documentation and go and see that bloke in the booth up there. Hey it wasn´t so bad after all…I think we got lucky. Thanks Lord.
When we reached a bus station, we were directed to a small store – a souvenir shop. Here we could stash our 7 pieces of luggage (doesn´t count our day packs/hand luggage) for a small sum of money.
We bussed to the park and went walking. Here you get a really good overall view of the falls and could see where we were the day before and where we went in the speedboat. We went out on walkways perilously close to massive overflows of water which would solve Sydney´s water shortage I´m sure. More photos.
At the end of the day, 4 weary travelers, with their stashed luggage headed on a bus with semi-reclined seats for Curitiba. Just a nine hour trip…. Nothing to write home about. Thank goodness for books, iPods and Sudokus! Thanks for your computer Jovita and Marcello.

Life is all a matter of how you look at it! Is the glass half empty or is it half full? (Our engineer daughter would tell us we´ve got the wrong sized container!)
We were trying to get to the airport from the centre of the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. We could take a bus for 0.8 p each or a taxi for 17 p. We would need 2 taxis! (there are 5 of us now that Debbie has joined the party.) I plugged for the bus just to save 30 p ($13.50 A). We had to catch a bus 37 but the driver told us we´d need a 37 - 4, not a 37 - 1. Waiting...waiting...Question: How long do we wait until we decide to catch a taxi? I suggested we wait another 15 minutes. Twelve mins later along came a 37-4. Next challenge was for 5 of us with luggage to climb aboard the bus before it took off. That was a challenge. This was just a regular city bus and we were the only people on the bus with airport luggage except for a Lleyton Hewitt look-alike off to a tennis tournament.
Once we got to the checkout counter at the airport the REAL action started. The lady was talking, she was writing, she was explaining and she was weighing our luggage. First bit of news came filtering through. We were not gonna catch this flight! The flight we´d booked for back in Sydney. There were 5 of us trying to get our brains around that bit of info. There were discussions between us and amongst us. We had a Spanish speaker, a Portuguese speaker and 3 dinky-die Aussie speakers. Then another bit of information - we were OVERWEIGHT! Our luggage was over the limit of 15 kg per person by a total of 23 kg for all of us. So, how much are they gonna charge us? 4 p per kilo. (4 x 23 = 92). $41 Aust! The team is visibly shaken. Upset? Traumatised! Gobsmacked! That´s unaustralian!
Fay says, Kim said we could have 20 kg each!
Deb says, I know I should have checked the small print - (she´s our frequent flyer.)
So far, we´ve missed the flight and now they´re gonna make us pay forty bucks!
Then the lady at the check-in counter tells us she´ll give us vouchers for free lunches...FIVE FREE LUNCHES!
* * * * * *
They´ve charged us 92 p and now they´re giving us over 100 p of lunches!
Currently we´re in Curitiba after having spent 2 days wandering round looking at the most spectacular waterfalls in the world! Iguazu Falls. More on that next blog.
Thanks Cesar, Marcia and Miguel for looking after us for a couple of days and finding a good picture of an aeroplane opn your computer!

Here are our rules.... even though there have been some breakages:
6 DON´T PAY BEGGARS (except with food you can´t eat). OPTIONAL TO PAY ENTERTAINERS
Have we missed out anything that you can think of? Jem also prefers restaurants that have good looking waitresses, but that´s not a proper rule. I´m sure these will change from time to time.

The trip across the spectacular Andes Mtns was just that! We just don`t have that sort of geography in Oz. It cost us nearly $30 AUS each to do the 4 hour bus journey. Most people advised us to fly Santiago - Buenos Aires, but we have no regrets...yet. Only suggestion is make sure you do the Santiago-Mendoza trip in daylight. All those magnificent switchbacks, the valleys, the snow, the glaciers... we loved it.
Our appreciation of the humble Peugeot 504 (Pug) went up when a taxi driver took us from the Mendoza bus station to the hostel where we`d booked - the one in the CITY of Mendoza, not the one in the STATE of Mendoza, 3 hrs away (see earlier blog.)
It must`ve been midnight when we booked into the room...a room for 6 which fitted the 4 of us nicely. PJ and I went out to the desk to ask if there was any chance of rustling up a bit of grub (tucker, food.) Within 10 minutes, the 4 of us were sitting down to a feast of carne (meat), cooked vegies, and a cheese/apple/cabbage/honey salad. Plus a large jug of red wine! While we were wining and dining, a sing-a-long started. So we were entertained (at 12:30 am) by some great SA music.
It was maybe 2am when Fay and I decided to quit. PJ and Jem did likewise a few hours later! (Great to be young.)
The next day we paid our bill ($14 AUS each for accomm and all the food and wine) and taxied to Francisco`s place to stay with him for a couple of days which turned out to be 3. Francisco is a local SERVAS member. He and Maria and Anna-Marie looked after us really well.
We have not been very long in this country but Jeremy said he`s coming back to marry an Argentinian! (I did try to line him up with one of Trev and Lois` girls in Dubbo.)
We`re now in San Luis. It`s even more fantastic than Mendoza! You`ve gotta come visit and have a day`s trekking in the National Park Quijadas. Unreal! Be great if I can get some photos on here... skills not too crash hot I`m afraid.
Tomorrow we bus to Buenos Aires (BA). I`m happy now because I had a 42 km mtnbike ride today. And PJ`s ADHD has been addressed by a bit of shopping... for herself and friends!
Talk to you when we get to BA or thereabouts. Hope we find Debbie at the airport Sunday morning.

Staying at San Luis tonight. They eat late in Argentina.
We went to a restaurant and took a young 18 year old lad with us. He is also staying at the hostel where we`re staying.
2 of us ate chicken schnitzels - big ones. Jeremy and I ate steak, ham, eggs and salad. And the carne (meat) was beautiful. We had 3 serves of chips altogether. I also forgot to mention we had a large bottle of beer and 3 Pepsis. Sandwiches came with the beer... we didn`t know that. Then there was also rolls and what looked like breadsticks. (Fay says they were breadsticks!) We hardly touched the chips which came late in the proceedings. Total price was 51 pesos (Argentinian). If the Aussie dollar is worth 2.2 p or even 2.5 p then the whole meal cost 20-30 dollars! Unbelievable. My steak sure was lovely. I didn`t finish it, but then neither did Fay or Pete or our guest.
I just wanted to share that with you. I have info re what`s been happening...maybe I`ll write that tomorrow. Free use of the internet while at the hostel. Great. Cheers to all. Tomorrow we go walking in a National park near here. As long as we get to Buenos Aires by Saturday!!

After a 15 hour flight from Sydney to Santiago on a Boeing Airbus 340 we landed safely in the capital of Chile.
Mendoza is a state! It is not just a city. I knew it was a city. The city of Mendoza is between Santiago and Buenos Aires, Argentina. We had decided to go by bus and thought we´d find a youth hostel in Mendoza as we were arriving there about 11 pm. So we booked a youth hostel for 4 of us in Mendoza. What we didn´t know was that the Youth Hostel we´d booked was in Mendoza, the state, and was 3 hours from where the bus would be dropping us. Luckily we picked up on the fact that the area code for the phone number was different. Having found out in time, we changed the booking.
There were some great one liners thrown around. Fay offered some knowledge which turned out to be invaluable. (She knew Mendoza was a state!) Jem immediately replied with Hey let´s allow file sharing! Later Peta said she was oblivious and she´d stay out of it. Jeremy, You should stick at what you´re good at Peta! So we changed the hostel and we´re back in the game!
Our Spanish speaking son Jeremy (27 yr old son often called Jem) has been a huge help in ordering, booking, asking, cancelling, inquiring, phoning and negotiating. We all believe we´d make it without him, but in the meantime, we have survived pretty well and we´re quite relaxed about all the arrangements. Thanks Jem!
Peta´s crook foot that she´s supposed to rest has handled the extensive walking OK.
Hey, tonight we´ve been out for the evening meal. We were just returning to the hotel when we were stopped in the street and given tickets for FREE BEER! Peta and Jem thought all their Christmases had come at once. So back we went to a groovy pub called Schopdog for free drinks. So much for Chile. Next Argentina!
1 What is the capital of Chile?
2 How long in hours was the trip from Sydney to Santiago?
3 How much does it cost in pesos for a jug of free beer in Santiago?
4 How many km long is Chile?
5 What countries border Chile? (There are 3 of them.)
Answers next post.
GUESS how much it cost the 4 of us at a flash restaurant to have a meal and a bottle of Merlot? (Answer in thousands of pesos please.)

Neither a wonder nor a blunder, the new Wonder Woman is better than the usual comic book movies - though short of the resounding triumph some early reviews have declared.
Mostly, it settles for a draw, lively when it roams free of the comic book genre conventions and dull when it conforms to them.
When we first meet her, Wonder Woman - aka Diana Prince - is looking chic and fully dressed while working for the Louvre art museum when she receives an envelope from her friend Bruce (Batman) Wayne. Inside is a century-old photograph showing showing her, in her Wonder Woman outfit, posed with a group of soldiers.
The photograph launches Diana, on a trip down memory lane back to her birthplace, on the paradisal Greek island of Themyscira, the homeland of the Amazonians, semi-deities created by Zeus to send a message of love to mankind.
Here, Diana grows up as a princess, daughter of Queen Hypolyta (Connie Nielsen) and her sister general, Antiope (Robin Wright).
In this militaristic utopia, women of various ages and ethnicities swagger about in tunics, light armor and single braids, race their horses through flowery meadows and leap from cliff-tops, uninhibited by the presence of men. All of them speak in curiously-accented English, which only makes sense when you realize the cast is conforming to the accent of Israeli actress, Gal Gadot, who plays the adult Diana.
Then a Man, along with the horrors of civilization, arrives, crash-landing his plane into the sea. The interloper is Steve Trevor (Chris Pine). And he's a spy working for the Allies, being chased by a horde of enraged if easily dispatched First World War Germans.
More importantly, he has watery blue eyes and bee-stung lips and some unfamiliar body parts. Wonder Woman begins to wonder. She has a sudden desire to help him escape and proceed to the front lines for a showdown with the war God, Ares (which happens to be her prophesied destiny).
Because consumerism is the new politics, Wonder Woman is being sold through a couple of talking points. For the fanboy brand loyalists, this is supposed to be the film to rejuvenate the Warner Brothers-DC Universe franchise, arch rivals to Disney-Marvel. Though unless you're a DC shareholder, this seems a limited concern.
If you like women as well as comics, you might see buying a ticket for Wonder Woman, a character with a legit feminist lineage (including the cover of Ms. in 1972), as a vote for the future of robust female role models in movies. You can also support the rarity of a woman director, Patty Jenkins, in charge of a blockbuster.
One could point out that The Hunger Games franchise, with almost three-billion dollar earnings in worldwide grosses, has already established that girl power works at the box office. Though, no question, there has been a dearth of women warriors in blue miniskirts and tiaras who can also sling trucks around.
Herein lies the paradox of Wonder Woman: icon of women's liberation or feisty bad girl. Wonder Woman's creator, psychologist William Moulton Marston, strove to create a superheroine who personifiesd female love as opposed to male violence. He was against women's servitude but very pro their erotic bondage, evident in Wonder Woman's boudoir-skimpy outfits, knee-high boots, "lasso of truth" and manacles. "I'm both frightened and aroused," declares a male character after Wonder Woman strips down for action, which seems to be point of a movie aimed at both sexes.
Taken simply as an action-fantasy movie, the movie is genuinely refreshing in much the same way as the 1978 Superman with Christopher Reeve, was. Instead of the usual petulant male superhero - a demi-deity with a sense of purpose bordering on zealotry - she's here to bring an end to war on earth, not just work through her childhood neuroses.
She is played by a long-limbed model, Gal Gadot. And while her range isn't greatly tested, Gadot has plenty of presence, toned but not bulging muscles, with arched eyebrows and a steady gaze that suggest a focused bird of prey.
As well as leaping, lifting and punching through rock, we learn, she can speak more than 100 languages and read chemical formulas in Sumerian.
But mostly, the film focuses on her valor and naivete rather than her intellect. Her innocence about the world of humans is played for humour, reminiscent of Daryl Hannah in Ron Howard's mermaid comedy, Splash. She needs a man to explain difficult things to her, like deceit and cruelty and ice-cream cones.
Yet, there's much about the movie itself that is unquestionably smart. Director Jenkins (in her first feature since 2003's docudrama about Aileen Wuornos, Monster) and writer Allan Heinberg have taken the set-ups of the original early 1940s DC comics back a generation to the Great War.
That shift adds several resonances. There are allusions to first-wave feminism, when women were still campaigning for the right to vote. The period was also the golden era of pulp fiction (the script name-checks Edgar Rice Burroughs). As New Yorker writer, Jill Lepore, wrote in her history of Wonder Woman, it was an era when ideas about the moral superiority of women and fantasy fiction about feminist utopias were popular.
There are other astute story-telling choices here, including the way the script shifts from fantasy to screwball comedy on the boat-ride to England, to fish-out-of-water comedy when Diana arrives in Edwardian London, flouting the social and sartorial conventions.
Subsequently, the movie transforms into an espionage thriller when Steve, Diana and a crew of mercenaries – including Scottish marksman (Ewen Bremner) and multilingual Moroccan spy (Said Taghmaoui) - and a Native American scout (Eugene Brave Rock) cross the channel to get behind German lines.
Adding out the collection of concisely-sketched sidekicks is a prominent English politician (David Thewlis) secretly backs their plan, for his own complicated motives.
But when the movie relents to the comic book franchise's demands -- the two-plus hour running time, the wafty speeches about human nature, the big bang ending -- it deflates. The villains here are particularly disappointing, falling in the dead gap between amusing plausibility and camp. As a German general, Danny Huston, spitting out Germanic consonants like the bad guy on an after-school special, while his woman accomplice, a chemist, subtly known as Dr. Poison (Elena Anaya), is a facially-disfigured monster from the pulp-fiction historical dustbin.
Following historical precedent, the plot gets badly bogged down in the European trenches before it finally breaks loose.
The last half hour of is familiar fantasy movie climax, involving fireballs, the testing the limits of superpowers and a lot of unnecessary exposition from the villain. None of this exactly whets the appetite for Justice League, the omnibus superhero film due out this November, though because of director Jenkins and her star, Gadot, there's reason to look forward toWonder Woman 2.
Wonder Woman. Directed by Patty Jenkins. Starring: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Lucy Davis and Connie Nielsen. Screenings begin Thursday night at Cineplex Yonge Dundas, Scotiabank Toronto, Cineplex Varsity and Cineplex Yorkdale.

And So I Watch You From Afar - Like A Mouse
I bet the fine gentlemen in And So I Watch You From Afar are a lot of fun at parties 'cause the new All Hail Bright Futures full length is a veritable party packaged in itself, and it's a fun frenzy of dueling instrumental attacks and marching beats and horns and occasional gang vocals. And more!

From 1 May 2017, sustainability criteria and feedstock restrictions apply to anaerobic digestion (AD) installations on the Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) scheme.
Here we explain who is affected and how, the criteria and where to get further guidance.
Who is affected?
The sustainability criteria and feedstock restrictions apply to AD generators who submit a new application for preliminary or ROO-FIT accreditation on or after 1 May 2017.
Scheme requirements
There are now three requirements you must meet:
1. Sustainability criteria
To be eligible for FIT generation payments, you will need to use feedstocks that meet the sustainability criteria:
- Land criteria: these focus on the land from which the biomass is sourced.
- Greenhouse gas (GHG) criteria: these account for the life cycle GHG emissions of the biomass.
2. Feedstock restrictions
These may impact the amount of FIT generation payments you're eligible to receive in each FIT payment year, if you are not using feedstocks classified as 'wastes' or 'residues'.
3. Reporting requirements
- Quarterly sustainability declarations: you must submit these to Ofgem within 28 days of the end of each reporting quarter.
- Quarterly generation meter readings: you must submit generation meter readings to your FIT licensee within 28 days of the end of each reporting quarter.
- Annual feedstock declarations: you must submit these to Ofgem within three months of the end of each reporting year.
- Annual independent audit reports: if your installation has a Total Installed Capacity of greater than or equal to 1 MW, you must submit annual independent audit reports to Ofgem within three months of the end of each reporting year.
Fuel Measurement and Sampling (FMS)
You must complete and submit a Fuel Measurement and Sampling (FMS) questionnaire when making your application for ROO-FIT accreditation. Your FMS procedures must be agreed with us before we can grant your accreditation.
Useful information
For a detailed guide on the new requirements, how to apply for FIT accreditation and how to meet the sustainability criteria and feedstock restrictions to prevent any impact on FIT payments, see Feed-in Tariffs: Guidance on sustainability criteria and feedstock restrictions.
Need help?
If you have a question about the FIT sustainability and feedstock requirements, you can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to fly back to Grand Rapids, Michigan to meet/visit Becky's family! Our flight out there was easy, with no delays. We had dinner with Becky's grandparents and then went up to their cottage in Whitehall, MI.
It was extremely relaxing to be there and not have to worry about work... or much of anything at all.
We slept in and spent most of the day on the beach playing in the water and soaking up some sun. In the evening we met up with Cheri who took us up to her office, so we could watch the fireworks.
We slept in yet again and wait for some storms to pass. It finally cleared up and we ended up taking the powerboat down to Muskegon, MI. We anchored the boat in Mona Lake to watch (pictures) the AirFare 2003.
In the evening a bunch of Becky's came up to the cottage for a BBQ and sand bocce ball!
We got up for church where we met up with Becky's other grandparents. They came back to the cottage for lunch, which was a good time. We spent the afternoon playing on the beach again.
We got up and left about noon. I got to experience EMS, Russ', and see the infamous Grand Central Plaza. We then had to head over to the airport to head back to San Jose. The airline offered us $100 voucher to take a flight the next morning, but we didn't feel it was worth it. Boy do we wish we had taken that offer. We got to Chicago with no problem. We arrived around 5:30pm and were scheduled to leave at 7:00pm. Well, we ended up not taking off from Chicago until after 10:30pm getting us home about 1:30am. We were extremely exhausted from such a long day.
Overall it was an awesom trip. I had a great time hanging out with the Diephouse family. I hadn't felt that relaxed in such a long time. I can now fully understand why so many people move out to their cottages for the summer.

Gluten free events are a great opportunity to meet other coeliacs and gluten free dieters, learn more about your favourite brands and sample lots of lovely freefrom products. There are a few gluten free events coming up in and around London, here are my top picks for 2014.
The Allergy and Freefrom Show
Date: 4-6th July 2014
Location: Kensington Olympia
Cost: FREE if you register through this link or pay £10 on the door. There are also VIP tickets starting at £45 (!)
If you fancy gorging on the latest gluten free products, learning more about your medical condition and meeting a bunch of other GF people, this year's Allergy and Free From Show is the place to go. Sponsored by Udi's, this years show has an impressive line up of freefrom brands offering samples and shopping opportunities. There will be a range of talks and activities catering to people with gastro issues and food allergies, including detailed medical talks from specialists, as well as a set of free masterclasses aimed at health professionals to keep them up to date. If you are having niggling worries about the GF diet or are struggling to get a specialist appointment (my goodness, the waiting list), why not come along and learn more about it? For the kids there will be an Allergy Adventures section, with crafts and fun activities, and for the newly diagnosed and/or curious, Sainsbury's will be putting on a selection of live freefrom cooking classes. A ticket to the Allergy show also gets you into the three other festivals happening in the building – if you are vegetarian, into organic produce or suffer from back pain, these may also be of interest!
Windsor Gluten free Food Fair
Date: Saturday June 21st 2014
Location: Windsor Racecourse
Cost: FREE
Roger George and Ian Severn have organised what sounds like a lovely gluten free day out. Coeliacs and gluten free dieters will be taking over Windsor Racecourse, and 30+ gluten-free manufacturers will be exhibiting their products, providing copious sampling opportunities! This event is to be held in conjunction with Coeliac UK's Annual General Meeting, and the day will also include a coeliac-focused presentation from a dietician. The event exhibitors include some of my favourite freefrom brands (hey Isabels and Ilumi!), as well as many others that I have been wanting to try. Download the leaflet here for more information, including directions and a list of exhibitors. It is worth noting that there will also be a free 'Coeliac River Shuttle' to take visitors to and from the very pretty Windsor and Eton, so this could be a good chance to explore the area. If it's good enough for the queen…
Perugia Gluten Free Fest
Date: 30th May to 2nd June 2014
Location: Perugia, Italy
Cost: The event itself is FREE, but unless you live nearby there will be Plane fare, accommodation, etc.
Ok, so this is really stretching the definition of 'London and surrounding' but in case anyone fancies a gluten free mini break, the Perugia Gluten Free Fest sounds like fun. With the amusing slogan 'It's all of your flour sack!' (that must sound better in Italian) they are offering a 'full programme of novelty' with tasting tours, scientific seminars and debate, and 'an international bazaar of the best gluten-free products you can buy'! You can fly from London Stansted with Ryanair. Though I speak no Italian and it is a bit far to go, I am tempted. Partly because Italian food is my favourite and partly because I had a lovely stay in Perugia a few years ago in this wonderful hostel, just by Lake Trasimeno. At the time I went, the owner kept a stash of gluten free pasta and treated us to homemade pannacotta!
For regular gluten free meetups closer to home, join The Gluten Free London Club. The group hosts regular gluten-free meals out, and I am actually going to my first one tomorrow, at the lovely Vozar's in Brixton! If you are a Twitter user, it is also worth following @GFtweetup.
Are there any other GF events I should know about? Hope to see you at the next one.

Concern And Hope./
I recently came across an article in New York Magazine titled "Your Positive Thinking Could Be Holding You Back." In it the author argues that based on the research he has conducted, "positive fantasies either did not help or significantly hindered individuals from achieving their goals. Any way you sliced it, conventional wisdom in psychology and self-help literature was wrong: positive thinking wasn't always helpful. Yes, sometimes it did help, but when it came in the form of a free-flowing dream—as so much positive thinking does — it impeded people in the long term from moving ahead." This got me thinking about the Science of the Positive and how one of the greatest misperceptions about the Science of the Positive, is that people confuse it with the Positive Mental Movement. In fact, the Science of the Positive seeks to merge both Concern AND Hope in order to achieve positive outcomes. This difference is crucial in our understanding of the Science of the Positive, and so I want to know if you have any questions about this. I am also interested in your thoughts on the article. And I want to invite you to share both your questions and your thoughts in the Comments section below. Thanks.

Now that winter has arrived and the Tahoe Keys lagoons and waterways are covered with ice and snow, it is important to think about ice safety. TKPOA Security and South Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue recommend you never venture out on our frozen lagoons and waterways, as they are extremely unsafe. Please keep in mind:
Never allow children or pets to venture onto the ice. In the event they fall through the ice, there is a high probability of injury or death. TKPOA rules pertaining to pets and City of South Lake Tahoe Animal Control Codes do not allow an unleased pet to run or play on the ice.
Recognize that ice will never be completely safe. Conditions, and unseen or unknown factors, can render seemingly safe ice suddenly dangerous. Take all care and precautions to avoid mishaps and make sure you have a rescue plan in place, i.e.; throw able floatation device with an attached rope, for those who live on the water. Having a safety plan in place, should you see an ice incident, can save lives.
Understand that ice strength is not the same everywhere, not even on the same body of water. It is difficult to judge the strength of ice based on appearance alone. Other factors including snow cover, currents, bubblers to prevent ice around boats, distribution of the load on the ice, schools of fish, and other factors affect the thickness and safety.
Find an alternative to playing on the lagoons. Skaters can go to Heavenly Village or the South Tahoe Ice Arena. There are many interesting trails in and near the Tahoe Keys for walking and snowshoeing. All people who venture out during winter should carry emergency supplies no matter how long they plan to be out or where they plan to go. Always make sure that someone knows where you are going and when you are expected to return.
If you own a residence that is utilized as a Vacation Rental. Please inform your renters that the ice within our community is unsafe. Renters and their families should refrain from walking on it for their own safety.
Above all, avoid alcoholic beverages when you are outdoors. Alcohol increases your chances for hypothermia and increases the likelihood that you'll make a mistake that will cost you, your family, or a friend their life.
While the TKPOA currently does not currently have specific rules prohibiting walking or playing on the ice, ice skating or playing on the ice, could still be a trespassing issue or a violation of TKPOA nuisance rules. As an example, a recent incident occurred when several ice skaters walked upon a neighboring dock causing damage from their ice skates. Bottom line, the TKPOA cares about your safety, please stay off the ice.

They had just completed a $643,000 project to reconstruct and expand the bocce court area. But as they strolled through the green space, they saw the old spray shower and saw the need for an upgrade.
"I recognized it when I brought my children here," Katz said.
"My son played here, too," Lewandowski added.
Last Wednesday, they joined local officials, civic leaders and longtime park users to break ground on the $2 million revamp of the spray shower area. As of now, the project is expected to be complete next fall.
According to the outgoing parks commissioner, the area will not only have a new interactive spray shower, but also new concrete, lowered fencing and new plantings. The space has also been elevated so it's "at-grade" and ADA accessible.
The design was completed in consultation with local parents and community members, said Lewandowski, a Middle Village resident who is retiring at the end of the year.
The borough president called Juniper Valley Park her "go-to park during the summer."
"I bring my kids to the play equipment, we love the tennis courts," she said. "It really is family friendly."
Councilman Robert Holden added that he thinks it is the best park in the borough, but it wasn't always this way. When he became president of the Juniper Park Civic Association in 1989, the park wasn't in great shape, he said.
The civic group worked with former Councilman Tom Ognibene to rebuild the park "from end to end." The new state-of-the-art spray shower will continue that progress, Holden said.
Multiple areas are slated for reconstruction at the Middle Village park, including the running track and turf soccer/football field. Holden added that the baseball field doesn't drain well, and needs work as well.
Though $2 million is just a "drop in the bucket" of all the improvements needed, Holden said the project is still important.
"We never had a great spray shower here. It was always a problem, with the drainage. When you came upon it, it was dangerous," he said. "So I think it's a great $2 million spent."
Steven Fiedler, who chairs Community Board 5's Parks Committee, said when visitors come in the summertime, the spray shower is packed with children. He said he's happy with the drainage improvements.
"This will be great to bring the kids in," Fiedler said. "It'll be nice and safe."

I recently acquired a Western Digital 6TB external drive for Time Machine backups as well as a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD[1] for my home iMac. While I normally don't care about naming drives I decided it would be great to have a punny name for the SSD which was to be used for Premiere and Resolve caches and renders. Naturally, I reached out to Twitter:
Jay Bond (@jbcashmoney) came in with the winner:
Hey #PostChat I need your help. What do I call my 240GB SSD to be used as a scratch/render/temp drive?— Matt Christensen (@_mchristensen) December 30, 2015

So far the drives have been working out great permanently connected to my 27" iMac but were taking up too much space on my desk when next to other drives I usually have for client projects. I've always loved products by Twelve South and decided to give their BackPack for iMac a try.
The packaging was simple, solid, and easy to open. It seems like a small thing but it instills a lot more confidence in the product you're about to try out if it feels like thought was given to the packaging. Since the BackPack is designed to work on any iMac or Thunderbolt/Cinema Display[2] it comes with four different inserts depending on which model and where on the stand you're attempting to attach the BackPack. My iMac sits at the back of the desk against the wall so I went for the higher rear position which sticks out less due to the slope of the iMac stand.
After sliding the inserts into the clips and screwing the clips into the main plate it was simply a matter of slotting the BackPack around the iMac stand and tightening the thumb screws. When attaching to the back of an iMac or Display the screws are underneath the platform and a bit hard to reach and apply enough force to properly tighten.
I put a little weight on the platform to test it and it sunk just a hair and then seemed sturdy enough. The BackPack is rated for 3.5 lbs which was enough to hold the 6TB My Book (2.3 lbs) and the 850 EVO (0.15 lbs). Included with the BackPack are four pegs which can be screwed on anywhere on the platform to help hold whatever you may put there. TwelveSouth suggests they are great for MacBook or MacBook Air but I used them just to keep my two drives upright and separate.
So far it's only been two days, but I am very impressed with the BackPack. I've got a cleaner desk and two new drives out of sight but always on and connected. While I attached mine to the back, the TwelveSouth gallery shows other ways to attach the BackPack depending on what you'd like it to.
[Note: While I purchased the BackPack for iMac myself and am freely reviewing it, any links to Amazon are affiliate links. Thanks for the support.]
I bought a StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable to connect the SSD to my iMac. Works great! ↩
Except of course the iMac with Built-in VESA Mount Adapter ↩
