Great Service noted Suharto
Indonesia newspapers were busy discussing the status of former President Suharto. There are still calling for Suharto to be tried -- forgiveness is the business behind after the first court decision is made, otherwise there is also calling for the trial of former President Suharto was completely stopped.
President precipitate first decision problem, but the Attorney General and the High Court of South Jakarta barge take its own decision, totally ignoring the President's decision. The term "precipitate" apparently okay interpreted in all directions.
Now let us look briefly outside Indonesia, look to the former Soviet Union and China-PRC to present-day. Communist countries have always faced difficulties to write their own history, especially if the leader dies and then comes the new leadership with new policies. In Russia today, Lenin and Stalin considered fart considered impurities that must be forgotten and thrown away. In China-PRC present-day, the people who are now starting to feel the prosperity and enjoy the freedom of worship as a leader Teng Hsiao Ping highly meritorious but do not waste their history, they still talk about Mao Tse Tung with a fixed sense of respect. At the mouth of the Chinese people sound wise assessment: Mao Tse Tung make mistakes, but he's immense service to the people of China and for China as a country. Mao Tse Tung errors mainly occur in the latter years of age, before the magnitude of his services are invaluable. They then by using a pragmatic balance between service and errors -- judge which one is heavier?
In conclusion: Mao Tse Tung services is enormous, only 30% maximum error maybe even just 10% -- and what do the people and the Chinese government is to correct and fix errors that Mao Tse Tung. As a result of China and its people with gait present-day prosperity and economic development of the massive, still love and respect for Mao Tse Tung in addition to the Teng Hsiao Ping.
What about Suharto?
The majority opinion's holding power in Indonesia is as above, then by itself we can already guess what the future continuation of the decision "precipitate" Suharto case. Instead we will never know the true voice of the people, for all mass-media, TV, radio and newspapers, in essence become the official voice channel, so that in itself sounds as though it is a "public opinion" dominant and should be considered legal in Indonesia. Besides the entire device and the state apparatus, executive, judicial, legislative and military leadership in the hands of the heirs of the dominant Suharto's New Order.
Absolutely services leader should not be forgotten! Let us now categories detailing the services of Pak Harto.
1. President General Suharto invaluable merits of his crush communism and the Communist Party to its roots and eventually also with the brilliantly to get rid of President Sukarno.
Domestic anti-communist leader in its own world number one was, the United States with the paradigm MacCarthy, never succeeded in crushing communism as what is done by Suharto. In modern political history of mankind the world, there never was such a precedent by Suharto's brilliant achievement in completely destroyed following an ideology adherents physically. In the meantime, President Suharto's Indonesia proclaimed verbally remain independent and active politically neutral, but in essence is a camp with what is calling itself "The Free World".
2. Pak Harto is not only a brilliant military, but he is also a reliable politician who is able to optimize the momentum of vested interests which are always implicitly integrate succeeded him as the interests of the State, Nation and People of Indonesia. The most striking examples vividly: the despicable murder of General Achmad Yani cs be a great blessing that he optimally utilized; him with a resounding standing on top of dead heroes of the revolution was to reach the highest peak power while proclaiming the miracle rescue of Pancasila. As a military-politician, he also managed to secure and pave the way of any barrier that comes from the opponent or any of his own friends, such as, among other general Nasution, general Ton Sudharsono, general Sarwo Edhi, general Hoegeng, and general Ali Sadikin.
3. Pak Harto is the "Father of Development" which managed to build Indonesia without using the money itself but mainly by debt from abroad. He was successful not only became President of the richest in the world throughout human history, but at the same time without sweat slam-bone is able to scratch the ground-water wealth of the Earth Indonesia to enrich all children and grandchildren, along with his supporters became millionaires and multi-millionaire dollar impromptu. At the peak of its economic achievements, the Pak Harto had inherited the debts that the people of Indonesia to pay it off.
4. Soeharto succeeded brilliantly resplendent intelligentsia Indonesia frame of mind control so as to homogenize the brain thought to always think they are fully in accordance with what he desired. The scholars are trained to receive a variety of engineering ideas as facts and truth, the art of hypocrisy trained in all areas of community activities, social-cultural-political-legal. Violations of law and human rights no matter how heavy, in the Soeharto era to become something that is constitutional, official and legal department.
Bung Karno once said, "you should never forget history!"
Yes, do not forget the services of Pak Harto!
Yes, do not forget the services of Pak Harto!

The Coolest Ways to Store Your Wine
There's an innovative storage solution for every kind of drinker.
Recommendations are independently chosen by Reviewed's editors. Purchases you make through our links may earn us a commission.
Whether you're the kind of person who only drinks at parties or a serious oenophile, properly storing your wine can be a daunting prospect.
Most standard American fridges aren't set up to handle wine bottles, so drinkers just lay them on the shelf or stand them up in a door tray. Those who are a bit more serious about their wine can invest in a dedicated wine fridge, but not all of them provide the features or control real wine nuts desire.
At this year's EuroCucina kitchen show in Milan, we saw a number of innovative storage solutions from our wine-crazy friends across the pond. If you're looking for a better way to house your vino, these are the best we've seen.
The Timid Tippler
If you only drink wine occasionally, you probably have a bottle of red lurking somewhere in your cupboard. That's fine—that's where it should be.
But what about whites and rosés? If you're like most people, you probably just throw them in the door of your fridge, right next to the ketchup bottle and Brita jug. But depending on which fridge you own, getting it to fit can be a pain. Wine bottles are often simply too tall.
A new fridge door concept from Electrolux offers an easy way around that particular conundrum. Rather than fixed door shelves, it has one shelf and then a series of modular compartments that can be moved around as you see fit. Not enough room for the bottle of Pinot Grigio? No problem, just move the butter container up a little.
The Entertainer
Okay, so you like to host fancy dinner parties. Alongside the hors d'oeuvres and crudités, you probably like to put out white wines and champagne for your guests. That means you need room to chill at least a few bottles.
At EuroCucina, we saw a few different takes on multi-bottle storage, from a wide variety of brands. Some, like Electrolux's clever crisper drawer implementation, stand the wine up. Others take a horizontal approach, either slinging the bottles under a shelf on a wire rack or carefully arranging them on the shelf itself.
The one thing they have in common is that they're brilliant uses of space. (That's something Europeans are particularly good at thanks to their generally smaller homes and kitchens.) When they're not in use, they take up hardly any room in the fridge. And when they are, they don't take up a whole shelf.
The Connoisseur
If you can tell a Merlot from a Tempranillo just by sniffing it but can't afford to excavate for a wine cellar, you're probably in the market for a dedicated wine fridge. Good news: There are plenty to choose from! Bad news: The coolest ones are only in Europe.
We saw walls of wine fridges, side-by-sides with wine fridges built into them, and even French-door units at this year's EuroCucina. We saw an Electrolux with a bottle-height 15-bottle standing drawer rack at the bottom. We saw dozens and dozens of prop wine bottles. (And, yes, we drank our fair share of wine. It's Italy.)
One fridge, from German manufacturer Liebherr, even offered display shelving alongside its traditional horizontal storage.
The point is: If you really love wine, you should probably move to Europe—for a number of reasons.
The Eccentric
Let's say you decide you do in fact want a wine fridge, but you don't want to run with the pack. You're a renegade. A loose cannon. An outlaw.
What you need is a miniature Fiat 500 that's been cut in half and turned into a chest fridge with working headlights.
Just trust us on this one.

The Union Cabinet today approved a proposal to allow 100 per cent FDI or foreign direct investment through automatic route in single brand retail. Currently, FDI up to 49 per cent is permitted under automatic route in single brand retail but beyond that limit, government nod is required. The Union Cabinet today reviewed foreign direct investment policy in certain sectors with a view to attract more overseas funds.
- Move to attract more FDI to boost economic growth and create jobs
- Most of the retail sector stocks surge in Wednesday's session
- Foreign airlines can invest up to 49% under approval route in Air India
The Cabinet also allowed foreign airlines to invest up to 49 per cent in national carrier Air India under the approval route. This move is expected to expedite the Air India divestment process. A group of ministers is in the process of finalising the contours for the proposed strategic stake sale in the national carrier and expression of interest is likely to be invited from bidders soon.
The relaxation of policy is aimed at providing a more investor-friendly climate to foreign players and in turn attract more FDI to boost economic growth and create jobs.
It also cleared 100 per cent FDI in construction development via automatic route.
FDI during April-September this fiscal year grew by 17 per cent to $25.35 billion. FDI into India increased by 9 per cent to $43.48 billion in 2016-17.
Most of the retail sector stocks traded higher today. Cantabil Retail, Store One Retail India, Future Enterprises and Provogue India surged between 5 per cent and 8 per cent. Other retail stocks such as V- Mart Retail, Shoppers Stop and Avenue Supermarts also traded higher in a flat broader market.

Becoming a mummy for the first time is probably the single most life-altering and amazing thing that could ever happen to you. You find yourself filled with love for a little person, in a way that you didn't ever imagine would be possible. Lots of new mums find that despite having read lots of books, magazines and having chatted to lots of friends who'd already had a baby, there are still things which take them by surprise. Things no one tells you!
Of course, it's not some big conspiracy to keep mums-to-be in the dark, there are just some things which don't seem to be talked about much! So we asked some mums to reveal to us the one thing which no one told them, when they had a baby… After birth pains
"I was really surprised by the intensity of after birth pains after I had my second baby. Apparently they can get stronger the more babies you had. I didn't remember having them with my first daughter but with my second they really hurt! I had a beautiful labour with no pain relief at all, but was stocking up on paracetamol once the after birth pains kicked in!" Molly Forbes, mum of two.
When pregnancy hormones leave your body "Everyone mentions that you might have a touch of the baby blues, but no-one tells you about the emotional rollercoaster of day 3 – and beyond – when all the good pregnancy hormones leave your body and you might feel more than slightly glum and cry at absolutely anything at the drop of a hat (the good news is that it passes really, really quickly though)." Gillian Crawshaw, mum of two.
That your period sometimes re-appear while you're breastfeeding "That the supposition that your periods don't return if you are breastfeeding isn't always true. I was surprised, and a little bit frustrated, when mine returned after 12 weeks. It made the next five months of breastfeeding interesting…at some points in the month my boobs had a life of their own and my milk quality diminished." Eleanor Willock, mum of one.
The conflicting emotions "I didn't expect to feel such a huge mix of emotions…an overwhelming desire to protect my baby and them never be out of my sight yet also the wish that I could sleep 8 hours straight or have just five minutes to myself" Polly Davies, mum of four.
Doing that first wee and poo! "I was shocked to discover that everything doesn't always work straight away after you have a baby. It took about 15 minutes for me to squeeze out my first wee, and my poor partner was a little shook up when I asked to hold his hand whilst doing my first post-birth poo!" Bryony Barry, mum of two.
When your milk comes in My milk coming in was a real shocker for me…they literally ballooned out of nowhere and I then spent about 12 hours hopping in and out of the shower to ease the swelling, scolding my chest with a hot water bottle, hand expressing into my baby's mouth because she couldn't latch onto my mammoth boobs!" Katie, mum of one.
It can take time to breastfeed "Breastfeeding is mostly talked about as if it's going to be easy because it's natural. It can be but for many mums, it's a learned skill. When we do hear about problems, we don't hear enough that they can be overcome. It was a real shock to me when I struggled to establish breastfeeding with my first baby. Though we eventually managed, it rocked my confidence as a mother in a way I couldn't have imagined beforehand. I wish I'd known it was OK to find it hard." Adele, mum of two.

Tonys: 2014 Nominations Were Determined by Only 33 People
NEW YORK -- Being new to the Tonys beat this season, I have had to learn a lot, very quickly, about the minutiae of Broadway's highest honors. Among the things I have found most surprising is the fact that Tony nominations are determined by a Nominating Committee comprised of a rotating group of no more than 50 "theater professionals selected by the Tony Awards Administration Committee," each of whom serve overlapping three-year terms.
That shockingly small figure, however, often ends up being even smaller because of people's inability to see the shows and/or various conflicts of interest that arise, forcing some Nominating Committee members to recuse themselves from the process. (This year, for instance, the writer/producer Rick Elice took his name out of the hat because his husband, the actor Roger Rees, was cast in The Winslow Boy, which was eligible for consideration.)
The bottom line: only 33 people determined the 2014 Tony nominations.
No one can argue, in good conscience, that 33 people, or 27 (the number in 2010), or even 50, are really able to speak for the entire Broadway community. And yet most people outside of that community assume that the Tony nominations and awards do just that. Therefore, it seems to me that the process probably should be reconsidered.
STORY: Are Multiple Tony Acting Nominations for a Show Ever Actually a Bad Thing?
I'm not sure what the "right" number is -- the current figure represents about five percent of the 868 people who get to cast ballots this year to determine Tony winners -- but in a community as large as this one, I know it's higher than that.
(For point of reference, more than 15,000 members of the TV Academy determine the Emmy nominations and more than six thousand members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences weigh in on the best picture Oscar nominations; the other Oscar categories' nominees are determined by segments of that group numbering between 108 and 1176. In contrast, though, fewer than a dozen voters determine the Olivier Awards, London's equivalent of the Tonys.)
Of course, the greatest challenge in expanding the size of the Tonys Nom-Com is probably finding people who are able and willing to see all of the eligible shows, as the position demands. There are around 40 new shows each year, which open throughout the theater season, only, of course, in New York. That means that nom-com members have to be in town and available for shows that debut anywhere from May of one year through April of the next. (Nom-com members' attendance at shows is carefully monitored by the productions' publicists, so they really do need to show up to everything.)
STORY: 'Rocky,' the $15 Million Musical That Was Denied a Title Bout
Below is a list of the 33 people who determined this year's Tony nominations. I cannot emphasize enough that the purpose of this piece is not to question their qualifications or selections, but rather the notion that a group this small can possibly speak for a community this large.

There is a lot of confusion over FICO scores. Why does my credit card send me a FICO score of 640, but CreditKarma shows a 580, and the auto dealership said I was a 720?
Why do web sites I pull my credit score up at are lower than what my mortgage lender says they are?
There are over 50 FICO scores I use today. When FICO comes out with a new scoring algorithm they do not deactivate the old ones. The media went crazy announcing FICO 09 and XD would not count medical collections against the scores. Problem is none of the banks have adopted those scoring models. SO medicals count. Web site such as Creditchecktotal.com, creditscore.com, scoresense.com, etc. are only allowed by FICO to use FICO 08, a mortgage model. But the banks have refused to use FICO 08. They use FICO Classic (a combination of FICO 04 for one bureau, FICO version 5 for another, and Beacon 2.0 (a FICO product) for the third). This model is not available to consumers.
Additionally some FICO scores are very unique to what is being purchased. The FICO score for a car is a totally different model than a mortgage for example. So the credit score and report from an auto dealership is useless for a home purchase, for example.
CreditKarma does not even use FICO, the use Vantage which is a scoring system the credit bureaus came up with and would love the whole world to use because that's more profit for them. Major lenders still look at FICO. Plus CreditKarma only gives 2 of the 3 bureaus and limited information on their reports. Stay away from them for accurate scores and reports.

Mobile devices are a permanent part of our lives and help us to get smarter. Which apps, technologies and trends will determine the future of the mobile world? In this interview Pei-Ching Wu, mobile developer at Neofonie Mobile, gives an outlook.
Which upcoming trends do you expect in the field of mobile devices?
The smartphone and tablet markets are quite mature and saturated now, so I don't expect much more innovation to happen in that sector. The new frontier is definitely in wearables and making all things smart and connected (possibly with a smartphone or tablet as the centerpiece). I imagine the trick is to make the devices and technology fit seamlessly into our lives, so I think developers should focus on pragmatic features rather than on gimmicky novelties.
In which field do you expect the biggest benefit for users?
What do you think about location based services and beacons?
I've worked with iBeacons technology for an App that delivered location-based, beacon-triggered content and in-door navigation. I think in-door navigation won't necessarily be life-altering but will be one of those convenience features that will fit seamlessly into our lives, and we'll later wonder how we ever managed without it. I rely quite heavily on the maps and GPS navigation on my smartphone and only vaguely remember that once upon a time, I had to look up and plan where I wanted to go before leaving the house. I imagine in-door navigation will be quite the same – we'll no longer have to wander lost through buildings or have to search for a physical map of a building; instead we'll just do a quick look-up on our mobile devices and then be on our merry way.
Is there any crucial ingredient to make an app successful?
I think what's important for mobile development is having a very focused feature set and knowing who your target audience is. A mobile app isn't a website, and mobile devices typically have less screen real estate than laptops and desktops, so cluttering up a mobile app with unnecessary features and an overly complex UI can ruin the experience. And your audience is likely on the go with a poor internet connection – so your app should do only a few things and do them well with limited resources.
Mobile developers often debate on hybrid versus native technologies. What is your preference?
I've worked with both native and hybrid technologies for mobile development, and I'll have to admit that I personally still favor a native approach as opposed to the Cordova / hybrid approach since the native approach will typically trump the hybrid approach due to performance and availability of the latest features. Targeting multiple platforms will always result in some amount of compromise and overhead while trying to accommodate the paradigms of multiple platforms. I think the Cordova hybrid approach is more about use of personel resources – if a company has a lot of web expertise and webprogrammers and would like to make a venture into the mobile sector, the hybrid approach is a viable path and could work well for a limited feature scope and a narrower audience (i.e. limited device support).
Is swift the new programming language for the future?
In terms of the future of mobile development, the Swift language is definitely gaining a lot of steam, and there are even rumblings that Google may adopt Swift. I'm still somewhat skeptical about that rumor, but even Kotlin, the new Android development language from Jetbrains seems to be syntactically the same as Swift. So I think there will be some convergence in the near future.
In asia the mobile use is significantly higher than in europe. Why?
I'm sure there are a number of factors that affect mobile usage, but one that plays a big role is infrastructure. According to a report of OpenSignal in Asia, LTE coverage as of Feb 2016 in Japan and South Korea were over 80-90% with speeds upwards of 20-25 Mbps, while here in Germany LTE coverage hovered around 60-70% with average speeds sitting around 15 Mbps . That's quite a gap in performance and availability which will certainly affect whether users have a comfortable online experience and whether they spend more time on their mobile devices or not.
I also have the feeling that Europe has also been slower to adopt mobile payment technologies as compared to Asia, so that could also be another factor affecting mobile usage. I think this has more to do with the consumer mindset in Europe where consumers probably prefer more traditional payment methods due to perceived trust and security issues with new mobile technologies.

LG Electronics is set to unveil the world's slimmest LED LCD TV at CES in Las Vegas next week.
The LG LH95 is set to go up against offerings from Sony and Samsung – both of whom were claiming the thinnest TV crown at IFA in Berlin earlier this year.
How thin?!
So exactly how thin is the LG LH95? It is an impressive 24.8mm thin (or just under an inch, for the fans of imperial measurements).
The LG LH95 also supports 240Hz TrueMotion Drive technology and 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
Also, according to LG, this LED LCD TV is set to bag the 2009 CES Innovation Award winner in the Display category. Check out the pics of LG's new skinny telly over on AVing.net

Original works by godly writers, tailored for the understanding of today's reader
For hundreds of years Christendom has been blessed with Bible commentaries written by great men of God who were highly respected for their godly walk and their insight into spiritual truth. The Crossway Classic Commentaries series, carefully adapted for maximum understanding and usefulness, presents the very best work on individual Bible books for today's believers.
Addressed to persecuted believers, Peter's first letter encourages them with the knowledge that it is possible to live victoriously in the midst of hostility--just as Christ, who suffered unjustly, did. He exhorts them to live a holy life that they might be a witness and evangelize the world through their faithfulness. In his second epistle, Peter warns against the more subtle dangers from within the church--false teachers and errant doctrine. He also emphasizes the importance of scriptural knowledge, for only in understanding true doctrine will heresies be known and immoral behavior be exposed.
Robert Leighton and Griffith Thomas's exploration of 1 and 2 Peter's key passages offers resounding wisdom that will both instruct and encourage all Christians.

Last Friday, 4 members of our team had been invited to watch the Teh Dar show – an art performance depicts the lifestyle and culture of South West Vietnamese – an another version of the famous Ah Oh Show by Lune Production.
Teh Dar is described as a version of A O Show which features an exotic Vietnamese tribes life with the untold stories from the mountains and jungles. The performance exhibits an enchanting stage craft and live music from different tribal instruments
The performance is held in Saigon Opera House – one of the most famous landmarks of the city built by French Colonial. It is a smaller counterpart of the Hanoi Opera House, which was built between 1901 and 1911.
The name Teh Dar means "going in circle" as the South West Vietnamese believing in the life transmigration and how the cycle of birth, suffering, death and rebirth effect in each member of the society.
Before the show begun, the team had a chance to visit the theater to see how it would be sitting in a different location as the venue is separated into three sectors: "Ah", "Oh" and "Wow" with "Wow" being the best location – seats to see the act.
The " Wow" is the first floor quite the "Ah" and "Oh" are in the ground and second floor
The girls posed for a picture in "Wow" section before any guests getting in.
There was a refreshment area outside offer Vietnam teas and some sweet treat for the audience before the show. If you buy the ticket for "Wow" sectors, you can taste the wine from Dalat as well if you want.
The front and back of the tickets.
Before the show's stage
When the show started, no camera or phone allows keeping the show going smoothly as possible. The latecomers also would be asked to wait outside the first 10 minutes as the performance requires absolutely no outside lighting in that first 10 minutes of the show.
During the performance, the team was going from one surprise to many others. The cast illustrated the world of South West Vietnam with stunning bamboo cirque, daring acrobatics, and hypnotizing melody from exotic tribal instruments certified cultural heritage by UNESCO.
The haunting, beautiful, sensual performance by an absolutely gorgeous cast of men and women doing absurdly dangerous stunts. Like you can see from a picture below, he stood with one feet like that with being circulated around for almost 2 minutes from the height can be 3 metres to the stage's ground.
The performance was so great that after each act, the applause was so long and so loud. The girls' hands got all red from clapping but wanted to express their love and admire so much. The whispers of "Wow", "Amazing" and "Fantastic" were heard so frequently during the show.
The combination of outstanding lightning, simple but authentic set design, live tribal instrument and singing with the jaw-dropping athleticism and musical skills of the performers made all of the audience speechless from the beginning till the end.
After 60 minutes of madness, beauty and excitement, the show ended with standing ovation and the cast went outside by the main entrance followed by the excited audience.
After the the show's stage
Despite of being so tired after the show, the cast and the musician gathered outside to take pictures with guests and allowed the audience to get close to them. The girls were thrilled and really speechless. One of them wanted to shake the hands of the artists so much but being shy ????
Coming back home after the show and all of them wanted to say just one thing "Teh Dar is so great that everyone must see at least once in their lives". They love their experience and want you to experience it too when you arrive in Saigon with us.
Please contact us for the schedule of the show and the price ticket (you will be offered the best rate ever when contacting us!)

I Am Legend Film Critique

I am Legend Critical Review
"All right, let me tell you about your "Gods plan". Six billion people were on Earth when the infection
hit. KV had a ninety-percent kill rate, that's five point four billion people dead. Less than one-percent
immunity. That left twelve million healthy people, like you and me. The other five hundred and eighty
eight million turned into dark seekers, and then they got hungry and killed and fed on everybody!
Every single person that you or I has ever known is dead! There is no God!" This memorable line from
the main character Robert Neville, close to the end of the story gives a dark realization that there is no
hope for any survivor and that they will be stuck in this distopian society for the rest of their lives.
The year is 2012, Robert Neville is a military scientist that has been living for the past three
years in the broken- down ruins of a Dystopian New York City after creating a bio-chemical disease,
originally created for curing cancer, that eliminated ninety-percent of the worlds population and sent
the world into a distopian chaos. Twelve million of the remaining six-hundred million survivors were
completely immune to the disease, but were soon after killed by the other five-hundred and eighty-eight
million survivors that turned into "dark seekers", savage, cannibalistic zombies with super-human
abilities thathunt at night. Robert very well might be the last man on Earth, and could possibly hold the
fate of the human race in his hands if he can find a cure.
In the films opening scene, you find yourself in a beat down, vegetation enriched abandoned
New York City with spooking realism. Cars and bikes are scattered across the streets as if everyone had
dropped what they were doing and left town. The buildings are rotting and falling apart, the streets are
wearing down and there are wild animals running freely. After a few seconds...

The New Proforma — After the Collapse
By Mark Smith Urban development entered a new era in the mid 1990s as consumers and developers began to embrace higher density development in urban locations. This is an important trend that promises better ecological outcomes and better economic outcomes for both municipalities and consumers. However, the current economic recession poses a problem relative to the much-heralded urban renaissance. The problem is in what I'll call the New Proforma,... Read More

Start with the 94 pages of Apple Valley Police reports and the 485 pages of BCA reports and documents. Then look over the 464 crime scene photos released by the Dakota County Sheriff's office and the BCA's 662 photographs of the crime scene.
To get a better understanding of what the crime scene looked like, check out the 57 points of interest noted by authorities.
From there you may want to read the contents of the 911 calls by Collin and Judy Prochnow. Komel's final text messages were also released to Dan Hennen and put on his website, The Ugly Truth. Hennen also pointed out a clear contradiction about Rani's emergency contact info, "Cypress Montessori told law enforcement there were NO emergency contact phone numbers provided, but the Minnesota BCA reports show otherwise."
After you've read the final email exchanges between Jason Allen and David Crowley, consider reading Dan Hennen's informative article, and maybe even one of my Gray Stage articles. Regardless of your view on this case, please do as much research as possible.

[L-R : Kellie Wright, Jim Wright, Travis LeMaster, Jason LeMaster (seated)]
Christmastime is full of many traditions and memories in my family. I remember as a child going on Christmas Eve to my Grandma Wright's house in Alexandria, and then on Christmas day, after opening presents at home, we would travel to Grandma LeMaster's in Portland.
One of the family traditions that I recall from my youth at Christmastime was gathering together for a family photo. My cousins and I would gather next to the plastic Santa, who had our names written on his list, and pose for a group photo. The Santa is now at my mom & dad's, and they've tried to carry on the tradition by adding the grand kids names to Santa's list. I'm not sure when the Santa tradition started, as he is not in the 1971 photo above.
Another tradition I can recall from Grandma Wright's was the famous red punch that was a hit with the kids. If I remember correctly, it was Hawaiian Punch with ice cream. Many of the photographs from that time will show us kids with red punch smiles!
Early Christmas morning we had to eat breakfast before we could open any presents. I remember dad getting out the old Super 8 movie camera and the big light that it had. We each had to take a turn opening presents, so that everyone could see what was being opened. After everything was opened, we each placed all of our loot on the bed for a photograph that would show all of the things that we received. When we would get dressed to head over to Grandma LeMaster's we could take one or two things with us to play with.
At Grandma LeMaster's I remember a big meal with lots of cousins around watching football on television or playing games. Many times that would be the only time of the year that I would see these cousins.
Christmas continues to be a special time of the year for me, but for different reasons now. I wonder what the kid in the picture above was thinking about.

text: [PDF] ✪ The Awakening By Kelley Armstrong – Blockdiagramwiring.co That was kind of underwhelming. The Awakening definitely left me wantingI just feel like it was missing so much which is a shock to me because these book are huge.Chloe was so annoying in this book I wanted to stab my eyes so I didn t have to see her trying to flirt with everyone and anyone that walked I honestly gave zero fucks about her until she found out she was apart of a experimental group thing Honestly, I only cared a little bit I mostly just wanted the book to be over. or something to happen that would grab my attention.Back to Chloe She constantly made terrible, silly, and super stupid decision throughout the whole book My eyes hurt from all the rolling I ve done today Derek was interesting because he called her out on her shit. but then Simon was an annoying twat defending the ground she walked on UGH Overall, I wanted this book to end I wanted it to be either shorter and suck. or longer and wayexiting I got neither I m just disappointed in this book and I pray that the next one is a lot better. The Awakening is evenenticing and action packed than its prequel While the setting shifts, it is no less menacing as Chloe and the gang face a grim and tretcherous life on the streets Tension is heightened by the added appeal of a perfectly sinister and powerful enemy and the suspense of unknown supernatural powers Armstrong s teen characters are smart and resourceful, and each obstacle thrown their way requires them to use every bit of caution, wits, and intelligence they possess Armstrong focuses a littleon the technical aspects of the teens powers and abilities, especially as Derek and Chloe explore their capabilities and restraints Their difficulties and the tension that they face help them grow as characters and make themappealing My crush on Derek has increased ten fold The Awakening is a dark, gripping, and highly suspenseful read will have readers staying up to all hours of the night and leave them desperate for the next installment If You Had Met Me A Few Weeks Ago, You Probably Would Have Described Me As An Average Teenage Girl Someone Normal Now My Life Has Changed Forever And I M As Far Away From Normal As It Gets A Living Science Experiment Not Only Can I See Ghosts, But I Was Genetically Altered By A Sinister Organization Called Edison Group What Does That Mean For Starters I M A Teenage Necromancer Whose Powers Are Out Of Control I Raise The Dead Without Even Trying Trust Me, That Is Not A Power You Want To Have EverNow I M Running For My Life With Three Of My Supernatural Friends A Charming Sorcerer, A Cynical Werewolf, And A Disgruntled Witch And We Have To Find Someone Who Can Help Us Before The Edison Group Finds Us First Or Die Trying At least it s better than the first BEWARE FOR SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES This whole review can probably contain spoilers for the entire series This review is mostly for me to remember the details. Re read 04.05.2018 I decided to continue with the re read with this series I m not overly fond with it, never have been, but the story plot has some real potential I just wished the characters where older 15 and 16 is so young, and blushing because someone holds your hand. it s too immature for my taste This book should ve been a NA I m just saying Overall, it s better than the first book, that s for sure Something happened all the time and at least Derek s treatment was better in this one Derek is, without doubt, my favorite character in this series, and I don t like my favorite character being treated wrong Good thing Chloe was getting better with treating my boy better She don t deserve him She s so blind Tori waited until he was gone, then shuddered Okay, Derek always weirded me out, but that wolf man stuff is seriously creepy Suits him, I suppose A creepy power for a creepy guy I thought he looked better She stared at me What He does Probably because he s starting his wolf changes and he s not stressed out about being in Lyle House That must help You know what would really help Shampoo Deodorant I raised my hand to cut her off He smelled fine, so don t start that I m sure he s wearing deodorant and for once it s working As for showers, they re a little hard to come by on the street, and we won t look much better soon Do you think he doesn t know what you re saying News flash he s not stupid Derek was all too aware of the impression he made At Lyle House, he d showered twice a day, and it still hadn t fixed the puberty smackdown. The characters view spoiler Chloe Saunders 15 , diagnosis schizophrenic Can see ghosts a necromancer Main character Simon Bae 15 , a sorcerer can cast spells, such as levitation and mist projection Derek Souza 16 , diagnosis antisocial personality disorder, a werewolf and foster brother to Simon Victoria Tori Enright 15 , diagnosis mentally disturbed bipolar, view spoiler a witch sorcerer hybrid hide spoiler I remember finishing the The Summoning, the prequel to The Awakening, last summer and thinking, I doubt Kelley will be able to top this Though, apparently she can, as she has proven it with The Awakening In The Awakeningaction and intense drama occurs As well as major character development Since, Tori, Chloe, Derek, and Simon s powers began to involve steadily in the book Also, there wasinformation told and found out about the Edison Group and werewolves which was fascinating in any case Derek and Chloe Yep, their relationship defiantly grew throughout The Awakening and made it one of my favorite parts I swear I will scream if they don t get together by the end of this series Since, they are so cute with their bickering and how they always protect each other Overall, The Awakening will have any fan of the Darkest Powers Trilogy begging for a sequel by the end I look forward to reading the next book, tremendously I wish Spring 2010 would come faster Grade A Alas, this is where Chloe Saunders and I must part ways As with the first book, I just couldn t stop myself from wanting to call it quits after about half of the book There s just something about the storyline and this little necromancer that doesn t seem to captivate me despite how much I love a great paranorm Now, I m actually apologizing upfront for my rant that is about to unfold, but it s only because my fellow group of trusted readers loved this book and I couldn t I just couldn t I tried but it didn t happen whimpers is shame There s quite a bit that fuels my annoyance with The Awakening and let me just start with demi demons Reeeaaalllllyyyy Okay, so I understand the whole concept of a demi gods when a god procreates with a human and vio la You get a demi god Okay, that I can handle and actually it s rather fascinating and worthy of my time and attention But get this, according to Armstrong, you get a demi demon by mutating the genetic make up of a demon and as a result you get a human with less subtle demon powers and the added benefit of an attitude problem and anger management issues Wait I guess there is no benefit Either way it s laughable at best.Okay so these mutations are conducted by The Edison Company Where do they get the name you ask Again get this this group of twisted scientists are named after Thomas Edison who not only invented some sound devices such as the phonograph, motion picture camera and the crafty little light bulb, but what I bet you didn t know is that he attempted to invent a device intended to contact the dead Okay, I ask did I read that right I m sure I did, but just humor me for a bit I think our history books are in need of a revision So, this worthy set of scientists run their experiments and when the study goes array, they dispose of the subjects Not so much of a problem if they were lab rats or guinea pigs Well for animal humane societies, it might be an issue and nothing against rats or guineas but unfortunately their subjects are TEENAGERS So yes, they dispose of teenagers when their experiments fail That s eff ed up to say the least.Now on to the characters There is not a one that I liked Well maybe the ghost Liz was cool, but all the other characters were worthy of a head shake IMHO Chloe is not a very bright girl and many of her attempts to either escape, manipulate lie to the adults, fight off batty ghouls, dead people or wolves are just simply too drawn out or end up in failure And she really needs to learn how to hold onto a knife It s actually rather irritating A smarter maybeconniving Chloe would have been fun to read about Rae Ugh Tory Double up Ugh.Ugh Yes, I still have that song in my head Simon and Derek ohhhh Simon and Derek What s to like about these two characters One suffers from a puberty smack down and a bad case of body odor Now, I understand Derek can t help his acne and BO, but if Armstrong was going to emphasize his insignificant flaws notice my emphasis on insignificant , give him some character elements worthy of applause But no, you have Simon that is simply his brother s shadow and Derek who s either brooding all the time or losing his temper Oh that s right, his genetic makeup was altered so he can t help being in a constant state of anger For most of the book, they spend hiding out in warehouses, catching buses, eating junk food and fighting off bats, ghouls, and wolves Sounds like a fun adventure, right But nope, I lost interest early on and never really found myself drawn back into the story I guess this is just the rare occasion where the paranorm element wasn t enough to take me on a fictional adventure Sorry, but that s just where it stood Review Edit I cleared Simon up of his acne that never existed Probably not quite 4 stars but this is just one of those series where I want to read all three novels before I really give a solid opinion, but so far I like where it seems to be headed The pacing could be better meaning I wouldn t complain if things moved along somewhat and the relationships could be clearer but overall it s a pleasant experience and I m eager to read the final book. Chloe Saunders is back in the second book of the Darkest Powers series If you haven t read The Summoning yet read it before reading this review SPOILERS.At the end of the first book Chloe and Rae go to Chloe s Aunt Lauren for help, not knowing that she is working for the very group that they are trying to escape from As a result, Chloe and Rae end up locked in a high security warehouse that houses the Edison Groups many experiments Luckily, Derek and Simon are still on the run and on the lookout for Chloe and Rae.After encountering ghosts of some of the former Lyle House occupants Chloe decides to take matters into her own hands and figure out a way to escape, this time for good With the help of Liz s ghost and a trapped demi demon Chloe manages to findinformation about the Edison group and how she can possibly escape from them.Once away from the Edison group Chloe is forced to face the reality of living on the run with nowhere and nobody to turn to other than Tori, Derek, and Simon Her father has posted a 500,000 reward for her safe return and the Edison group is no longer worried about keeping any of them alive.Will Chloe and the others be able to outrun the Edison group or will their luck finally run out Will Chloe ever figure out what her true feelings are for Derek and Simon The Darkest Powers series is full of paranormal happenings, betrayal, and budding romance I highly recommend this series for any fans of the Twilight series Definitely not the same story line but just as good. I don t know how I feel about this one I mean the kids are out there trying to get way from the evil people that are trying to hurt them And we find out some reasons as to why they are the kind of supernaturals that they are but I was just sort of meh I will say that I loved to gettime with Chloe and Derek I really love Derek s character And we learnabout the families of the kids There is alsoaction with the supernatural abilities of some of the adults and kids but I still couldn t get into it all the way Sometimes I wonder if it s the mood I m in or if I really did just like the book and not love it to death One will never know unless of course you read it again Chloe, Rae and Tori are in cells at The Edison Group after they tried to escape with Derek and Simon in the first book A bunch of stuff happens and Tori and Chloe get away and meet up with the boys Thenstuff happens and it s a little cray I also really love the ghost, Liz, in the book too I hope we get to find out something good for her in the next book I did enjoy the book, I m just mad that I didn t love it to death, but we can love them all that way right MY BLOG Melissa Martin s Reading List As seen on The ReadventurerThe second book in Darkest Powers trilogy starts where the first one left off Chloe is at the research institute and contemplating escape What follows is pretty much Chloe s and her friends journey to get to the person who might be able to help them find Derek s and Simon s father which is I suppose is what this trilogy is about, but I am not sure at this point.The first book in the trilogy was undoubtedly drawn out and artificially extended, but this second book sure beats that While The Summoning had at least some semblance of a story specifically, the discovery of the true nature of Lyle House , The Awakening is truly 400 pages of filler Almost nothing is added to the main story arc only 3 pages describing the purpose of the experiments on supernaturals and the idea that Derek s and Simon s father can be found with the help of his friend Andrew The rest of the book is pretty much limited to hiding in various warehouses 150 pages , hiding in an abandoned house 50 pages , riding a bus to Andrew s house 150 pages , and finally meeting Andrew 10 pages The Awakening truly has no climax of any sort It reads as a boring series of events that serve no purpose but to develop the characters, which is fine, when not used so shamelessly to fill pages and pages at the expense of the real plot There are some nice Derek Chloe moments, and only these moments save the book from being a complete waste of time If I had hopes that the trilogy would pick up after a rather slow first book, I don t have them anyThe second book proved to be as boring of a read as the first one, and even worse This is a pity, because Armstrong knows how to write an engaging and tightly plotted book This Darkest Powers trilogy however is a shameless attempt to extend 250 pages of story into 3 books 400 pages each I am not sure if I will ever get back to this series I expect I will not be able to remember much about it even a month later.

How I do I start a PHP program which takes a long time to complete and how do I track its progress?
While these tend to attract lots of replies, they are usually wrong.
The first thing to consider is that you need to seperate the the thing which takes a long time from its initiation, the ongoing monitoring and whatever final reporting is required.
Since we're talking about PHP its fair to assume that in most cases, the initiation will be a PHP script running in a webserver. However this is not a good place to keep a long-running program.
1) webservers are all about turning around requests quickly - indeed most have failsafe mechanisms to prevent one request hanging about too long.
2) the webserver ties the request to both the execution of the script and to the client socket connection. Typically NOT keeping a browser window open somewhere waiting for the job to complete is an objective for the exercise. Although the dependence on the client connection can be reduced via ignore_user_abort() that was never its intended purpose.
3) long-running typically means it will have quite different resource requirements than a typical web page script - e.g. lots of file handles being opened and closed, more memory being consumed.
Most commentators come back with the suggestion of spawning a seperate thread of execution, either using fork or via the shell. The former obviously does not solve the webserver related issues if the interpreter is running as a module - you're just going to fork the webserver process. You've not solved any of the web related issues and created a whole lot of new ones.
You need to create a new process certainly.
The obvious type of process to create would be a standalone PHP interpreter to process the long running job. So is there a standalone interpreter available to the webserver? The prospective implementor would need to check (and whether the webserver runs as chroot). So lets assume there is, our coder writes:
print shell_exec('/usr/bin/php -q longThing.php &');
A brave attempt. However they will soon find that this doesn't behave as well as they expected and keeps stopping. Why? because all the process they created runs concurrently with the php which created it, it is still a child of that process. Now this is where it starts to get complicated. In our example above, the webserver process finishes with the users script immediately after it creates the new process - however it will probably hang around waiting to be assigned a new request to deal with. However at some point the controller for the webserver processes will decide to terminate it - either as a matter of policy because it has dealt with a certain number of requests (for apache: MaxRequestsPerChild) or because it has too many idle processes (apache's MinSpareServers). However the webserver process should not stop until all its child processes have terminated. How this is dealt with varies by operating system and of course, webserver. Regardless, the coder has created a situation which should not have arisen.
But on a Unix system there are lots of jobs which run independently for long periods of time. They achieve this by:
1) they are first started, say as pid 1234, and try to fork, say to pid 1235 after calling fork, pid 1234 exits
2) pid 1235 will become the daemon - it closes all its open fds including those for stdin, stdout and stderr
3) pid 1235 now calls setsid(), this dissociates this process from the tree of processes which led to its creation (and typically makes it a child of the 'init' process).
You can do all this in a PHP script, assuming you've got the posix and pcntl extensions. However in my experience its usually a lot simpler to ask an existing daemon to run the script for you:
print `echo /usr/bin/php -q longThing.php | at now`;
But how do you get progress information? Simple, just get your long running script to report its progress to a file or a database, and use another, web-based script to read the progress / show the final result.
Troubleshooting (updated Sep 2014)Following on from the feedback I've received, there's a couple of things to check if it doesn't go according to plan.
The atd has its own permissions system implemented via /etc/at.allow and /etc/at.deny - see you man pages for more info.
On Redhat machines, the apache uid is configured with shell /bin/nologin - this will silently discard any jobs submitted to it, hence a more complete solution is:
print `echo /usr/bin/php -q longThing.php | at now 2>&1`;

Review>Pearl Reference>snare drum>original series
The best snare drum? There isn't one. There are many good ones, depending on the music. But certainly the Pearl Reference first series snare drum is among the very best I've played. I understated this years ago in Modern Drummer. The passage of time has done nothing but confirm my original thumbs-up. This is a drum that'll cut and rock to the last stadium row, yet do Ravel's "Bolero" right in a velvety concert hall.
This first-series Reference snare drum shouldn't be so good. The shell is thicker than a sidewalk and, in this case, ought to sound out out of sorts, as if contradicting itself, given it's a slender 5" in depth. It's like, where's all that sound going to go? The resonant chamber is too tiny to contain it!
But speaking this 14×5" Reference drum (and the one I reviewed for MD), the elements combine in a rare harmonious fashion. This is a drum that exhibits few weird overtones, errant rattles/hums, or dissonance. It's all drum, snares on or off, suggestive of the range from African tribal to American urban.
My Modern Drummer Review and on to today
Back in the day, I remember remarking I was tickled pink that Pearl sent me a complete, sparkling gray Reference kit—not a wrap but a pristine covering exhibiting incredible depth of field. That kit turned this reviewer from a doubter to a believer. It's all public record.
But drummers are fickle. They go back and forth; they horse trade; they seldom remain satisfied. Give them two weeks and their perfect ride cymbal is tainted and ready for sale. Then they sell and hear it in the arms of another and regret "the one that got away".
Sometimes people tell me I'm too favorable in my reviews. In that light, I've wondered about the Reference on many occasions since that MD review was published.
As it turns out, two years ago I was making my usual rounds of Dave's Drum Shop, a facility in my home town that will ship to yours, even if you're in Japan or New Jersey (my MD editor, the late Bill Miller bought 2 kits from Dave's Drum Shop and had them sent to his home in "Joisey").
I was browsing in my own disjointed fashion and spotted an equally curious snare drum, brushed aside to the far reaches of the rack. The color was not immediately to my liking—a burnt orange sunburst. But it was a well-executed paint job and the generously chromed Pearl lugs spoke "Reference" to me. Dave told me this drum had sat unnoticed, unwanted, for months and he'd reduced the price. To me, it was going for peanuts, something well under $300.00 US.
I examined the drum. Peering through the opaque, condom-thin snare side head it was obvious this was a Reference comme les autres, a typical first-series, mega-thick shelled snare drum. By "mega thick" we're talking 2" shell walls composed of 16 plies maple, 4 inner plies birch. The maple is said to enhance bandwidth while the birch nudges the attack component upward.
Immediately I saw why the drum was a shop orphan. Who'd want a cinder block weight snare drum that sounds mushy, indistinct and absent of any unique attributes—a drum you strike once a push back into the ranks? The heads were sloppy, the bottom rippling a little.
Fortunately, I'd spent a little time with the drums, thanks to MD. Perhaps that's what caused me to hear something in this 14×5. And it was struggling to get out.
Feel me, touch me, tune me!
I carry a drum key everywhere and without ado I cranked the snare side two complete turns with the drum key—complete turns, mind, and perhaps a wee bit tighter at the snare gate and butt. The batter received 1.75 complete revolutions of the drum key.
I hoped that some fool hadn't browsed along and strummed the snares as if windmill-chording on a guitar but, fortunately, were pristine and parallel when engaged. They were simply looking for a little tension.
Pearl Reference snare units, you know, the rack of wire strands stretching across the bottom of the drum, offer a delightful feature. You crank them tight and the band of wires in the middle, or maybe it's the edges, remain slightly looser. You tighten further if you like heightened articulation and the one band of snares remains relatively looser, irrespective of how tight you tension the group. Works a charm.
Drum nerd note: This is a quality well-exploited in the Fat Cat snare units, which I had ignored in my basement work area until recently when they brought a previ9usly deadbeat snare drum alive on account of the same concept. With Fat Cat units, you tighten the snare wires with lever the usual way, fine tension them with the knob and get the snares snug and comfortable. If you prefer a little "wetness" to the response, you get it by taking a screwdriver to a little slotted screw on the snare plate: you can loosen it in fine degrees and retain the snap yet enjoy a elongated sizzle from the ten or so strands affected by the turn of a screw.
The Pearl snares do this in a manner that suits me. I get beautiful "snap", and the capacity to articulate quiet buzzes and doubles cleanly, plus a little sustain in the bargain. Pearl seems to have gotten proportions right.
Those wires literally sizzle seamlessly on that ship funnel thick Reference shell, which probably would stop a bullet it's so substantial. The snare bed, although I haven't measured it, looks fairly wide and, perhaps, slightly deeper than many today. You can judge from the photo.
The tone is woody (duh, it ought to be, what with 20 plies of maple and birch) and most significantly, with snares off it sounds like a drum, even when you crank tension unbelievably high. You get this sharp, sustaining rimshot with snares on and, by flicking the lever off (the lever boasts a tiny locking button, a no-brainer), you get a usable "first tom". Most drums choke and refuse to offer any discernible pitch when tightened unreasonably high.
Back to Dave's Drum Shop, I'll never forget striking the drum. The first blow turned heads…people's heads, that is. The second dropped jaws. It was that obvious. The Reference snare drum boasts an uncanny desirable sizzle everybody seeks from drums wood and metal.
I bought it, no questions asked.
The Reference: a keeper not a sleeper
t's been a couple of years, several recordings and loads of live gigs under my belt, and the drum has not failed me. Not once has the locking strainer arm slipped nor has the butt-end fine tension knob (usually it's at the strainer side) proved unreachable. In fact, I wonder know if a butt end fine tension knob counters the ability to apply tension on the strainer side…just a thought.
Under every silver lining there is a dark cloud
The one blotch on this sunny canvas is the rim. Why on earth did Pearl supply an already powerful snare drum—and strangely one that would sit in the LA Philharmonic without flinching—with a heavy, die-cast rim. It protests too much. Overkill. Coals to Newcastle.
Paul Frederick, then Pearl rep now Direct Music marketing manager, suggested I try the last Pearl stainless steel rim he had in stock—a regular, triple-flanged hoop to all intents but constructed from, well, stainless steel—as opposed to the usual steel, zinc, brass, aluminum, white metal, and so on.
The moment I fitted the Reference with those stainless steel rims, the drum went from better to best. Rimshots were cleaner and more in keeping with the timbre of the resonant chamber. The drum gained an even broader frequency range, and yielded a "rim click" or country "cross-stick", that balanced better, in terms of attack and "wood block" tone, with adjacent drums in the kit. I found this important when recording with distant/minimal mics.
No Ambassadors or G1s for me
My choice of batter head for the Pearl Reference first series 14×5" snare drum is not the factory fitted head, a Remo Ambassador, the lazy man's choice. It is, rather, a Remo Renaissance Emperor, either marching (extra-crimped?) or regular model. I've gone through two in the life of the drum and have changed over only out of habit. The rimshot sustain is longer with the Renaissance Emperor (or, for that matter, any Emperor or Evans G2; am I alone in noticing this?); the tone is more equally distributed (no bright, boingy spots aside choked zones); and the overall feel is what I associate with a medium weight calf head. If you haven't tried a Renaissance Emperor batter head on your snare drum, irrespective of brand, you are missing something special; extra-special on the Reference. The heavier head seems to stand up to the heavier, thicker shell. High energy meets high energy and disperses smoothly and widely (John Donne, your days are numbered!). This drum might have been like hitting a boulder, all hard and brittle. It "gives", however, before striking back!
I truly love, okay appreciate, this drum. The snares-off tone is a bonus and rare attribute. I own snare drums that excel with snares secured but cough a dry rasp when snares are withdrawn. The Pearl 14×5" Reference snare drum can do Chad Smith as easily as Aaron Copeland. My only concern is replacing the snare strands should mine meet with an accident. Gene Okamoto, veteran drummer and Pearl rep, insists I will not have trouble.
Hopefully the series II Reference "lite", Pearl Reference Pure, with slender shells (snare drums are 6-ply), will hold a candle to these. With respect Gene, I can't see how they can but I've come to respect Pearl over the years. They're doing things their own way and, from what I've seen, doing okay or better. The only Pearl drums I own are the Reference 14×5 snare and the 1960s budget Coronet (Pearl stencil brand) kit, which as surprised me more than once. Let's see if Reference Pure is more than relief for lower back sufferers….If not, the first series are plentiful and penny-conscious, considering what you get. Mind you, although I happened upon a sweet deal on a sweet drum, I wouldn't pay over $500 for a snare drum. Then again, if I did, I'd be buying a grand instrument.

On my recent trip to beautiful Iceland I was fortunate to stay in the fabulous Hotel Ranga (you can read more about that by clicking here). And even more fortunate to be treated to the genius cooking of their head chef Karl Johan Unnarsson.
The ingredients of Iceland are amazingly plentiful with ample lamb, fish and dairy. Salmon, trout and cod are particular favourites as well as at the tastiest of langoustines. And there's also the more unusual with seabirds like puffin and other waterfowl and even shark (no, I didn't go there!) plus dried seaweed and moss to add a uniquely Icelandic flavour.
Vegetable production is steadily growing with some vegetables started in greenhouses in the early spring and then grown outside. Tomatoes and cucumbers are produced entirely indoors. Crowberries and blueberries grow easily and you'll find herbs growing wild, like thyme. And there are plenty of wild mushrooms on offer, too.
Karl is passionate about using local, seasonal ingredients and came up with two amazing tasting menus – one of four courses and the other of eight. Perfect for getting a really good feel for his take on the food of Iceland. And what a fabulous take it is, too, real food inspiration. Feast your eyes on a selection of the some of Karl's creations.
An earthy, creamy wild mushroom soup is served with vivid drops of dill oil – an Icelandic store-cupboard essential.
On the second night our first course (of eight) was this amazing tomato extravaganza. Tomato juice with slow-cooked mini tomatoes, onion, pepper and tomato sorbet. My love for tomatoes is well documented – a dish like this is always guaranteed to get my night off to a great start.
A clever and pretty vegetable creation: slow cooked cauliflower with buttermilk sauce and pickled red onion.
I loved the salmon at Hotel Ranga. Well, it is one of Iceland's key ingredients – we are in this island nation after all. This is lightly cured and blowtorched, served with trout roe and a smoked egg yolk. A dish that melts joyfully on the tongue.
And now for some beautifully flaky cod which was lightly salted and served with smoked haddock foam and mustard cress.
Seabirds are also a big part of Icelandic cuisine, here's a dainty dish of beet and smoked puffin.
The pan-fried langoustine came with onion puree, apples, celery and dill sauce (more of that delicious dill). The wonderfully sweet seafood went perfectly with the crunch of apple and celery.
Skyr is another great Icelandic product. It's kind of like a cross between yogurt and cheese – it's made using a cheese-making process which gives it a bit more of a savoury flavour, slightly more cheesy than yogurty. It's widely used in desserts, like here, served with crumble and berries.
And here's Karl in the kitchen where he produces all his works of art. Because this is the gourmet food of an artist. A real joyful experience of tastiness and inventiveness. The food of Iceland rocks.

Many resources exist for proper home staging techniques. Home staging is defined as the preparation of a home for sale with major emphasis on presentation and visual appeal. This goes above and beyond expected repairs to the home and actually crafts a visual appearance so that potential buyers will not be distracted by clutter or personal belongings, will feel comfortable and envision themselves living in the home.
Not only is a quicker sale one of the desirable outcomes, but sometimes also the ability to get a higher price. Your home is made to appeal to the largest possible audience and give it optimal chances for a quick and profitable sale. How many situations have there been, where a buyer is distracted by items in the home or off-putting wallpaper and colors to simply dismiss the house in favor of the next showing they go to. Although we think rational people will not behave this way, there is a subtle appeal of a staged home that presents the home in it's best possible light and somehow feels more move-in ready. In the current buyer's market, you need every advantage you can get to sell your home for the best possible price.
Usually when home staging is brought up the focus shifts to wall color, interior decor and decluttering, but in addition to there being much more to be done on the interior, there is the often overlooked curb appeal factor to consider. Yes staging a home also applies to the exterior. Curb appeal means making a good first impression may allow potential homebuyers to be more open minded on their first walkthrough of your home.
In our Oakville home, we had a friend offer an impartial look at the front exterior and that creates an alert to upgrade items such as painting doors and shutters, lawn repair or even fresh sod in this case, add fresh mulch to garden beds and around trees, add a few potted flowers, yellow plants near a home's entry are a good choice. Dispose of weeds, front yard clutter and rake up any leaves. Trim bushes and hedges and in general make the yard look well kept. You can add outdoor furniture such as a bench or even a couple of sitting chairs if you have the layout for it. There was room for a single bench that was implemented.
The next area to have a closer look at will be the entry area of your home once the front door is opened. Simply decluttering this space and cleaning it will go a long way to improving first impressions. There should be plenty of light and invest in a new welcome mat if you don't have one or if the old one is worn.
There are many more helpful home staging tips to share ranging from which are the current and trendy color schemes to decluttering advice, the necessary removal of all personal photographs and trinkets from the staged home, and even renting furniture if necessary to give a particular room a more upscale or neutral appeal.
A local Oakville home staging company can help Southern Ontario residents and real estate agents turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

It has been a good few weeks for acquiring new zines.
I've been sent quite a few submissions directly, plus I picked up a good haul at DIY Cultures in east London. It was a great event, almost too full of people at times, with some fantastic alternative, radical zines alongside art and comic zines. It is heartening to see London still has a thriving diy scene, despite the heavy boots of corporate capitalism squashing almost everything interesting.
And then a huge package arrived from my friend Guy J Jackson, who visited the LA Zine Fest and gathered a brilliant array of stuff for me to plough through.
So, reviews are coming, apologies if the backlog means they have been a little slow.
Saying all that, I always welcome new zines.
(The floor in the photos is the floor in my office that is so full of holes it is in the process of being replaced. I don't think I've lost any zines in the move, but if you are waiting on a review from me and it isn't up in the next two weeks give me an electronic prod!)
