As the furor over the city's surprise evictions at underground art venue Rhinoceropolis continues to reverberate, Denver officials have responded with a forum for "safe creative spaces and artspace collaboration."
Set for Jan. 18 at McNichols Civic Center Building, the community event will allow Denver Fire and Community Planning & Development board to respond directly to concerns that Denver is targeting — or at the very least discounting — its artists amid rapid development and gentrification in the River North neighborhood, and elsewhere around the city.
That's no small thing, considering Denver boosters frequently tout the city's art scene and local creatives as central to its reputation and economic health.
Metro Denver's cultural scene generated $1.8 billion in spending last year, according to the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts. Moreover, Colorado ranked No. 1 in a recent report from the National Endowment for the Arts for the percentage of residents who personally perform or create artworks (with 64.6 percent of adults).
But as Ray Mark Rinaldi wrote in a Denver Post op-ed last week, "There's also a broader realization that Denver has been living a lie, acting like a place that's friendly to the art community while giving it the shaft."
Enter Michael Seman, a newly appointed researcher at The University of Colorado Denver's College of Arts & Media, whose job is to examine how the city and state will continue to grow as a cultural hub.
Seman's unusual background — as a former Hollywood industry insider and promoter, and a still-active writer and musician — would not seem to provide a direct path to a Ph.D. in urban planning and public policy.
The 48-year-old, who moved to Denver from Denton, Texas, in October, will also be working an odd job here. From his position at CU Denver, Seman will collaborate with city machinery like Denver Arts & Venues and Colorado Creative Industries, the state's art council, to gather data and "inform policy makers how future investment in creative industries will contribute to overall economic growth," according to CU.
He's what you might call a big thinker, or generously, a visionary. But is he an objective scholar or a civic booster? An artist or a critic?
The following conversation is compiled and edited from several phone and e-mail interviews with Seman over the past few weeks.
Q: Before we dive in, can you tell us what qualifies you for this job?
A: I worked at CAA (Creative Artist Agency, in Beverly Hills, Calif.) from about 1996 to 2003 and worked my way up from the guy who made color copies to an executive who worked with internal projects and "cultural intelligence." That involved matching entertainment entities with corporate entities, so things like Harry Potter with Coca-Cola. (We were) also developing the Warped Tour and (I was) playing in a band (Shiny Around the Edges). I did all I wanted to do there and ended up in Denton, Texas, where I went back to graduate school for urban geography because I was fascinated by cities.
Q: That sort of research would seem to play into what you're doing here.
A: I based my master's thesis on Saddle Creek Records' $10.2 million mixed-used urban development project (Slowdown) in Omaha that catalyzed an entire area of the city. It hit a nerve for me because no one had really looked at that before: how musicians had helped redevelopment. I learned to explain to people at the policy level why music scenes were important for their city, and one way of doing that is through the language of economics. My Ph.D. dissertation, based on the framework of Harvard economist Michael Porter, was "What if Hewlett-Packard had started a band?"
Q: What have you learned that's applicable to Denver?
A: Music scenes are more than just a collection of musicians and venue owners. It's really a group of people — artists, photographers, designers and other creatives, plus musicians who are also teachers, real estate advisers, nonprofit administrators, and more — who are educated and highly skilled and helping a city move forward. It's important to understand when looking at an intertwined economy that what helps one cultural scene could very well be helping another, and more broadly, the city's economy.
Q: And it looks like you've also explored that concept in your writing?
A: I got a book deal with the University of Texas Press and at the same time was writing for The Atlantic's CityLab and looking at this phenomenon across the country. Richard Florida (who coined the term creative class) and I became friendly and started working together as I began giving talks across the country. This whole idea of bringing cultural producers like musicians and policy makers to the same table helps them realize they both want the same things and can help each other. And honestly, most of the time it's not expensive, if it costs anything at all. It's just a matter of understanding the value from both sides.
A: What are you most interested in learning in Denver?
Q: One of the reasons I was really excited to come to Denver is that I'm fascinated by the power that all-ages, DIY venues have, and how they harness the younger people that are emerging as musicians and artists. I'm also interested in how that is connecting with technological creation. New York City has the Silent Barn, an all-ages, DIY venue but also somewhat of a maker space and incubator for technology. All-ages scenes are the minor leagues. That is where your talent is blossoming within your city. Some cities are really embracing that, like Seattle or places in Michigan.
Q: Let's talk about Rhinoceropolis, which was raided in response to the Oakland fire at the Ghost Ship warehouse that killed 36 people. What's the viability of relying on places like these for artistic regeneration when they're so clearly vulnerable to disaster, or at least closure?
A: It's still completely viable to rely on DIY spaces as incubators of innovation in the arts, as important foundation pieces of a city's creative economy, and as developers of communities with city-wide networks. However, in a time when economic forces are rapidly reshaping the downtown cores of many cities, those who run these spaces and local governments need to take steps to ensure they become less vulnerable to precarious situations.
Q: How do they do that?
A: It may require thinking in a broader geographic framework and relocating to less expansive space outside of the city's core, setting up the organization as a nonprofit, partnering with another arts organization that is a nonprofit, connecting with philanthropic-minded individuals and organizations that could provide guidance and support. In the case of offering living space, a re-examination of the risks and benefits associated with that option. It will most likely require a mix of all of the above.
Q: Writer and activist Bree Davies has called the city's recent actions a "witch hunt on DIY." Are you worried you'll be perceived as being in the city's pocket?
A: The fact that many in Denver and nationwide were immediately and passionately vocal in their displeasure of the abrupt closing of Rhinoceropolis was not surprising, and affirming of how important these spaces are to the extended communities that form around them. This passion could never undermine my goals, it simply puts an added spotlight on them and further encourages me to do what I can to facilitate the continued life of these spaces in Denver.
Q: It's also not as simple as "the city wants to shut us down," I imagine.
A: Yes, it was a city department that took action to temporarily shutter Rhinoceropolis and its sister-space, Glob, for code violations. At the same time, others in the city and in the administrative body guiding the RiNo Arts District, while not aware of the structural details of the spaces, were aware of the legacy and value these particular spaces afford the district and city and have been considering ways to help them continue as a vital piece of the area's cultural landscape.
Q: As an academic, does it undermine your work to know your research is being used by government leaders? There's a real danger in doing these things that you can cross the line from studying to promoting them.
A: I am trained as a social scientist (meaning) that when dealing with data — quantitative or qualitative — I have learned to bring no bias to the interpretation and analysis. I want the city to work together with creative producers to benefit both. Sugar-coating anything or obscuring facts is not going to help either side.
Q: What's happening in Denver now — the gentrification and redevelopment, the artistic soul-searching — has a precedent in cities like Austin, Texas, and Portland, Ore. What's different about Denver?
A: The advantage that Denver has is that it can look to cities like Austin, Portland, and Seattle and see how rapid growth threatened, and sometimes harmed, their creative scenes, what local policymakers have or haven't done to mitigate certain situations, and proactively address issues that threaten the sustainability of its creative economy.
Q: The city's already done some of those things, of course, but it still feels like we're at a precipice in some ways.
A: Unfortunately when you're "discovered," real estate valuation goes hand-in-hand with having a really thriving economy. Denver has very progressive people who are cognizant of that, and I'm really interested in learning how to mitigate those effects of marginalization of artists and residents, perhaps through policy. You can call it the pioneer spirit, but Denver seems willing to address these issues and really try to create a sustainable city for everyone. I mean, I'm a transplant, too. But I hope I can be a positive influence.

LOC and NEH Site Now Has Over 10 Million Pages of Vintage Newspapers
First thing we did was look up the Titanic.
The Chronicling America database features a record of history from the pages of newspapers published between 1836 and 1922–you know, the kind of stuff normally relegated to library microfiche collections.
Since it created the database in 2007, the National Digital Newspaper Program, a partnership between the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities, has been adding pages from the past to its online, searchable collection. Today it surpassed the 10 million mark.
The National Digital Newspaper Program exists to digitize old news and reduce the amount of time spent in front of one of these:
Chronicling America is a resource used by students, researchers and journalists, and used it is. The site reports an average of 3.8 million page views per month.
To celebrate and also explore 10 million pages worth of America's reported history, the LOC will produce a series of posts on its blog, beginning tomorrow, to pay homage to the stories and obsessions of yesteryear. And what better way to link the old with the new than with an inaugural post titled, Cat Tales?

If you watch 30 Rock (I don't know why you aren't), you'll remember an episode where Kenneth had a party. Nobody wanted to go to Kenneth's party, because they're always lame (and Liz is always the only one there.) So, to help Kenneth out, Tracy hyped up the party by saying T.I. was going to be there, and then it was like a game of telephone. Every time someone told another person about the party, they added on a special guest, i.e. Fallout Boy, the Harlem Globetrotters and the CEO of Texas Instruments (which is who Jack thought T.I. was)
Anyways, when the party eventually happened – it was shown in flashbacks of people going insane. Everyone was drinking, vomiting, making out and eating birds. Then it went to a scene of everyone in Jack's office sitting quietly, looking gross and embarrassed.
When I woke up on Tuesday morning… that is how I felt. I looked over to my right and laughed. My bed was a mess. The dog was asleep in a pile of clothes on the floor. There were pizza boxes in the kitchen. Four empty glasses on the table with a giant empty bottle of vodka next to them. And I looked like a hot mess. I didn't remember anything (well, most of it) and I could have used that series of flashback scenes. But, I have a feeling it's better that I don't see them. Plus, seeing flashback scenes in real life is impossible. Totally impossible. I'm not living in a television show!
Needless to say, I was a zombie all day yesterday. I figured after work, I'd just take a nap. So around 6, I did that. Then didn't wake up until 8am today. I slept fourteen hours. That might be my record.
Stupid O'Hara and his stupid birthday.

A Canada goose got its final revenge on Feb. 1 when, after being shot out of the sky by a hunter in Easton, Maryland, it struck Robert Meilhammer, 51, of Crapo, Maryland, seriously injuring the waterfowler. NPR reported that Meilhammer was hunting with a group when one of the large geese flying overhead was killed and fell about 90 feet, landing on Meilhammer's head and knocking him out. It also dislodged two of Meilhammer's teeth. Adult Canada geese weigh about 12 to 14 pounds and can have a wingspan of 6 feet. At press time, Meilhammer was in stable condition after being airlifted to a hospital.
Aaron Meininger, 29, of Hernando Beach, Florida, was arrested on Feb. 2 after Hernando County deputies caught him stealing items from the Demarco Family Funeral Home in Spring Hill. When officers arrived, Meininger was carrying a tub of formaldehyde out of the building. They also found makeup, nail polish, electric clippers, soap and other items used in funeral preparation in Meininger's car. Curiously, the Tampa Bay Times reported, Meininger told deputies that he was "bored" and "messed up" and didn't even know what kind of business he was burgling. He said he probably would have just thrown the stolen items away.
Somebody in Muskegon, Michigan, didn't want the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl LII. Immediately following the Eagles' victory over the New England Patriots on Feb. 4, Subaru of Muskegon ran an ad on local NBC affiliate WOOD-TV that featured 30 seconds of silence and a written message: "Congratulations Patriots!" WOOD-TV reported via Twitter that the business had submitted only one version of the ad and had specified that it run regardless of the game's outcome.
When a Texas stripper arrived at her 11:30 a.m. gig on Feb. 1, she smelled a rat: Her destination turned out to be Noel Grisham Middle School in Round Rock, Texas. Rather than going inside, the performer called the school and reported a prank. Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, a district spokesperson, told the Austin American-Statesman the student jokester had used his cellphone to order the stripper and paid for it with his parents' credit card. He is now facing disciplinary action.
Houston Realtor Nicole Lopez is sporting a new nickname these days: The Taco Lady. Since late 2017, Lopez has incorporated a novel incentive for buyers of homes she's listed: $250 in free tacos with the purchase of a home. "Let's be honest, everyone in Texas loves tacos," Lopez told KHOU-TV. "And so, it's really been this 'taco the town,'" she laughed. Lopez cited as proof of her success a $170,000 home that's under contract "and they are super excited for their taco party at the end of this month."
Staff at an internet cafe in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, China, had to call paramedics on Jan. 28 when a gamer lost all feeling in his lower limbs after playing the same game for more than 20 hours straight. Newsweek reported that the unnamed man didn't realize he had become paralyzed until he tried to use the restroom and couldn't move his legs. As he was being carried out on a stretcher, he was heard begging his friends to finish the game for him.
A parking lot in Augusta, Georgia, became the scene of a nightmare for an unsuspecting motorcyclist and his 1982 Honda bike on Jan. 31. On his way to exchange some shirts at Target in the Augusta Exchange shopping center, Don Merritt told WJBF-TV, "I was going to go around the back to avoid the speed bumps," but when he did, he and his bike fell into a sinkhole. Firefighters were called to rescue Merritt, who suffered a skull fracture and a loose tooth as a result of the 15-foot fall. The bike was totaled. "It's not good customer relations," Merritt said about the sinkhole. The center property manager reportedly is fixing the hole.
Sonny Donnie Smith, 38, of Clackamas, Oregon, was feeling snubbed in September 2016 when both his father and his brother were invited to a family wedding, but Sonny wasn't. As a perfectly reasonable revenge, Sonny made anonymous phone calls to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas and the Midland International Air and Space Port in Midland, Texas, claiming that his father and brother were terrorists and would be traveling through the airports. An FBI investigation revealed no terrorist threats, and after interviewing the father and brother, they were both released. On Feb. 1, Sonny Smith pleaded guilty to making the calls, according to The Oregonian, and will be sentenced on May 10.
Cheryl Merrill, 60, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, was arguing with her boyfriend of five years about who would win Super Bowl LII on Feb. 4 and became so enraged shortly after kickoff that she picked up a wooden shelf and threw it at him. St. Johns County sheriff's deputies were called and found Merrill "extremely intoxicated," according to reporting by WJAX-TV. Merrill was charged with aggravated battery and taken to the St. Johns County Jail. Her boyfriend was unable to sign an affidavit because of the hand injury he sustained in the assault.

PETALING JAYA: Controversial Indian Muslim preacher Dr Zakir Naik, who is wanted by Indian authorities, met with Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today, sources have confirmed with FMT.
"I can confirm that Naik went to see Tun (Mahathir) this morning," said the source.
It is unclear as to what Naik discussed with Mahathir in their first meeting since Pakatan Harapan took power in Putrajaya, though the meeting, which was unscheduled, was said to be brief.
The meeting between Naik and Mahathir comes a day after the prime minister gave the clearest indication yet that the federal government would not deport Naik, who is wanted by Indian authorities over allegations of money laundering and terrorism.
There had been intense media speculation in India that the Malaysian government would act on an extradition request made in January. The Indian foreign ministry confirmed on Wednesday that an official request had been made.
But yesterday, Mahathir said that the government would not deport Naik as he has been granted Malaysian permanent resident status, unless he causes trouble.
Naik has accused the media in India of subjecting him to a campaign of vilification over the past two years. He said "fake news" about his deportation would be exposed.
"Most of the articles published against me will be proved as having no basis and that they were false," he said in a new video message through his Facebook page.

Updated Grasscloth Wallpaper
Love It or Hate It? Grasscloth Wallpaper
I've had a bitter taste in my mouth for grasscloth wallpaper after spending days removing hundreds of yards of a hideous pea green version from the walls in my parents' Summer home. However, the latest issue of Lonny Magazine has me drooling over the updated look and use of the wall covering. When done right, not only can grasscloth add texture, but it also helps soften up a space naturally. I'm not sure I could stomach sticking it to all my walls, but think it could work wonders as an accent. What do you think?

A waffle maker refers to a utensil that's used for cooking waffles. It typically consists of 2 hinged metal plates. The plates are molded to create the honeycomb patterns found on the waffles. The iron is then heated, and either dough is a place or batter is poured between the plates that are then closed so as bake the waffle.
Finding a good and homemade waffle recipe is an easy part. However, it's finding the best waffle maker that might be a whole other story. The best waffle makers come in a very wide range of styles and designs. Some models are perfect for fresh and homemade waffles on a slow morning during weekends. There are also other models that are better suited for cooking in bulk and then freezing the waffles for later use or the standard toaster.
With the standard waffle maker, there is no need for going to a restaurant so as to enjoy the mouth-watering waffles. In previous years, the options for the consumer-grade waffle makers used to be severely limited. However, it's nowadays possible to get a high-quality waffle maker at an extremely low price. There is a wide variety of waffle makers on the market. This makes it necessary to look at the best waffle maker buying guide so as to pick the right one.
Waffle makers usually have a very wide range of uses. With the waffle maker, you can enjoy the delectable aroma waffles. Furthermore, you're able to enjoy a taste of the freshly cooked waffles by adding the waffle maker to kitchen appliances in your home. The entire people who use a waffle maker are:
- Chefs
- Housewives
- Individuals working in hotels
As it's the case with many other smaller appliances, there's a selection of styles, designs and features that are available for waffle makers. There are several options for each budget as well as taste. Sorting through the waffle makers can be a little tricky.
However, you don't need to worry anymore because the buying guide will help you through the process with a lot of ease. Here is the best waffle maker buying guide:
Size is vital whenever it relates to the waffle makers. While several compact designs and models are available, certain waffle makers are particularly bulky. Before purchasing any waffle maker, one should decide on the amount of room that she will have to spare. Where shall it be stored when it's not in use? Whether there's enough room on a shelf or in a cupboard?
Without taking the above points into consideration, you could end up having a waffle maker that's too large so as to be stored with ease. However, in case your waffle maker is meant to be kept outside at most times, this might not be a significant issue.
Number of Waffles
Large families ought to be wise and invest in the makers who can produce great waffles at once. If not, the process having to make adequate waffles for every person will be quite long. It is important to note that certain large waffle makers usually have grids that produce many waffles at a given time.
They just have required being cut after they have finished cooking. This is one way of producing many waffles at once. As a result, it is vital to consider the best waffle maker buying guide. This will enable you to know the number of waffles required whenever you buy a waffle maker.
Waffle Shape
The shape of the waffle matters to certain people, and it doesn't matter to others at all. For those who care, it is smart to read a listing closely before buying any waffle maker. The standard waffle makers typically produce square waffles and round waffles. However, but that is hardly all which is available.
There are major waffle makers on the market that are capable of producing triangular waffles, heart-shaped waffles and several other fun shapes. Such waffle makers were particularly popular with the young kids. This is because they are always thrilled whenever they are presented with the uniquely shaped waffles.
Waffle Thickness
When shopping for any waffle makers, the thickness of waffles that the maker produces ought to be considered. Certain people have their preferences whenever it comes to their waffles' thickness. A waffle maker having an extremely simple grid shall produce extremely thin waffles.
The thin waffles usually tend to be a little crisper. However, that isn't always the case. The waffle makers who have a high grid shall produce thicker waffles. Based on the temperature which is used, the batter which is used and the time that the waffles are cooked, the thick waffles might be crispy, fluffy or somewhere in between.
Grill Surface
One concern which people mostly have about purchasing and then using makers has to clean up the mess afterward. The old-fashioned waffle makers used to be notoriously difficult for one to clean.
Fortunately, the today's popular models have the non-stick grill surfaces which make clean-ups quite easy. As an extra bonus, the non-stick surfaces make it very easy to slide waffles out whenever they are always ready. There is usually no need for prying them out of this machine since this could damage them.
Indicator Lights
Using some waffle makers to make waffles, there's lots of guesswork that's involved. The waffle makers who don't have the indicator lights are usually not quite easy to use. Individuals have to always stand around and then watch for signs such as excessive steam so as to determine whether waffles have become ready or whether they are not
It's much easier when waffle makers have the indicator lights. This light comes on whenever the maker is heated thoroughly, and another light shall come on whenever the waffles are ready. Certain waffle makers will also beep whenever they are prepared or even when the waffles have to be flipped.
The top waffle makers usually have internal thermostats which ensure outstanding results. What it is s even better when it's an adjustable the thermostat. With adjustable thermostats, a person can dictate how hot a waffle maker gets. Certain individuals prefer soft and light-colored waffles.
Conversely, others prefer crispy and dark-colored waffles. Different kinds of batter at times call for varying temperatures as well. As a result, this feature makes the waffle maker a lot more useful and versatile.
Flip Models
Most persons are familiar with the flip-style type of waffle makers that come from hotel breakfast regions, where they are mostly available. The prices have dramatically dropped for these professional-grade makers thus it is easy to purchase them for usage in the homes as well.
By rotating the simple handle, an individual can flip the waffle 180 degrees while it's cooking. This ensures cooking, and it also ensures that the batter is distributed evenly.
It is important always to make sure that the flip-style maker seals are shut completely. Otherwise, a recipe may end up everywhere. Thus, the best waffle maker buying guide should give you a clear insight on the flip models.
All of the today's makers are insulated so as always to ensure that they won't become hot to touch. However, several used waffle makers are available as well on the market. Some of them might be old, and they might not have this insulation.
It is important to know whether the waffle maker has been insulated or not before buying it. In case it's not insulated, the oven mitts will have to be used. A lot of people would rather fail to use waffle makers in case they have to put on the mitts more so since many cool-to-the-touch models are available out there.
Drip Trays
As nice as the non-stick surface could be, it usually does nothing by preventing the batter from having to drop out of the waffle maker. Certain waffle makers are commonly marketed as being mess-free or drip-free. However, the reality is a bit different usually.
One way of minimizing the risks of having to end up with the batter splattered all around your kitchen is by buying a maker having the built-in drip tray. Even though the drip trays aren't always fooling proof, they radically reduce odds of having to create a huge mess while in your kitchen. A good number of the waffle makers usually have this feature.

Hiking near Manila? Referred to by many as a beautiful disaster, Mt. Pinatubo day tour is not your typical adventure climb. It involves an epic 4×4 ride, river crossing, scenic ascend, and immersing in a local community.
Mt. Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano that can be reached around three hours from Manila. It is located in the boundaries of Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga. Experts claimed its cataclysmic eruption in 1991 as one of the deadliest in history. At present, it has become a favorite hiking destination.
Guide Content
About Mt. Pinatubo
Prior to its eruption in 1991, Mt. Pinatubo was dormant for 600 years. Comprised of complex lava domes, the said eruption was the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. It was then that the beautiful crater lake, Lake Pinatubo, was formed.
Mt. Pinatubo is part of the Cabusilan mountain range of Zambales mountains. It also serves as home to the indigenous Aeta tribe. Mt. Pinatubo has an elevation of 960 MASL. It is considered as a beginner friendly hike with a difficulty level of 2/10.
Mt. Pinatubo Day Tour Hike
Mt. Pinatubo hike usually begins at the jump-off point in Sta. Juliana, Capas, Tarlac. From here, Lake Pinatubo can be reached for around 2.5 hours.
Together with my friends, I joined a tour from a provider called TRIPinas Travel and Tour Ventures. We left Manila around 2AM. It's important to be really early because of the cut-off and a huge number of visitors was expected especially on a weekend. As we arrived at the base camp, there were a number of hikers already. It was also freaking cold. A short briefing was conducted after which, participants were grouped for the 4×4 ride.
4×4 Off-Road Adventure
Excited as we were, we proceeded with our badass 4×4 ride. The vehicles were assigned based on queue and you cannot really choose. Some can even get a 6×6 ride. We also shared transport with other groups.
I'm sure it's more of an advice than a threat when we were told to secure our belongings especially our mobile phones and cameras. With no seat belts and with a very bumpy ride, some visitors before accidentally dropped their gadgets. Covered in lahar, the items can no longer be retrieved most of the time.
Windy and dusty, our ride can never get more exhilarating! I'm holding on to whatever I can grab every time I feel I'd be thrown out of our ride. I carefully took snaps when things get a little calmer. We were laughing and screaming at the same time. Our body started to ache but it was tolerable. There were very steep and narrow descent I almost can't imagined how we managed to pass through them. As such instances, our driver informed us ahead so we'll be cautious and prepared.
Surely, I will never forget our 4×4 ride experience. This contributed as to why Mt. Pinatubo hike is one of my favorite climbs to date.
Trekking Mt. Pinatubo
The 4×4 off-road adventure is just an introduction. After the bumpy ride, the trekking commences that can take around 2 hours on average. Add 30 minutes to an hour if you're on a slower pace.
The hike in itself is mesmerizing. Aside from the usual mountain view, the stunning lahar-covered landscape is truly one of a kind. We passed by rivers and streams. There were rocky areas. The transition in scenery from time to time can't get any better.
As we continue to hike our way to the crater lake, we came across a beautiful Aeta tribe inhabiting the area. Despite of language barrier, we felt their warm welcome. Make sure to bring extra trail food because the children will surely appreciate it.
Lake Pinatubo – Mt. Pinatubo's Crater Lake
With aching body and feet, we finally reached the crater lake or Lake Pinatubo. You can say its sighting took all our exhaustion away. It was a beautiful disaster indeed. Despite the history of Mt. Pinatubo embodying a catastrophic past, the gorgeous scene laid before us is an image to behold.

The flexible accommodation at The Bothy makes it ideal for a couple or families. For couples, the larger second bedroom at the very end of the cottage can be shut off and a couple can be perfectly self-contained and cosy in the main part of the house. The large second bedroom is ideal as a 'dorm' for children and during the summer months, two families holidaying together are welcome to set up camp for older children in the garden (see below for details). During the winter months, the large second bedroom at the far end of the cottage provides plenty of space for children to play without disturbing adult-time and a television and DVD player are provided. The garden is fenced so children can play safely and dogs can't wander off and the immediate area offers endless opportunities for families to explore whether on two legs, four legs or two wheels! A neighbouring barn provides a fabulous indoor games / picnic room for wet days complete with a wood burning stove, table football, pool and a full size table tennis table. The accommodation at The Bothy is all one level and sleeps a maximum of six guests in two bedrooms. Over the summer months two families can share the accommodation with children camping in the garden at additional cost. Please contact us for further details. Please note the central heating is via a log burner which is lit prior to arrival during the winter months. Please see below for full details. The system is surprisingly easy to use but please contact us if you have any concerns. Open plan kitchen, dining area and seating area Fabulous, handmade, fully-equipped kitchen with range oven with 5 ring gas hob, fridge and dishwasher.

IMPORTANT - Heating and hot water Central heating at The Bothy is provided by a log burning stove. During the winter months the stove will be lit in advance so that the cottage is warm on arrival. The system is very efficient providing that logs are added a couple of times a day; each morning the fire needs to be flared up so that it is burning sufficiently for the pump to operate allowing hot water to circulate around the radiators. In the evening, the logs need replenishing before guests go to bed and with the vents closed there is sufficient residual heat to keep the fire alight through the night. If required, additional heating is provided by two oil-filled radiators. An immersion heater provides additional hot water if required. The system is surprisingly easy to use but it is important that guests contact prior to booking if they have any concerns. Wi-Fi and mobile telephone reception Wi-Fi is provided in the open plan kitchen, dining and seating area, however the signal can be intermittent and it is important to note that due to the thickness of the walls the signal may not reach other rooms of the property. Please note that there is no mobile telephone reception at The Bothy. There is however a landline at the property for guest use. Excess use will be charged back to guests. Catering Home-made ready meals can be prepared and delivered to your property during your stay.

Halfway through World War II aliens invaded Earth. They were repelled - but now, years later they are back . . . This is the third volume in the three-part Colonisation series, which follows the Worldwar trilogy, Colonisation: Second Contact and Colonisation: Down to Earth. The whole sequence will conclude with Homeward Bound.
Humanity is still locked in a battle for supremacy with the conquering alien invaders, the Race. The German Reich has finally been subdued and the Race believe it only to be a matter of time before the rest of the planet follows suit. However, they underestimate humanity's desire for freedom and the lengths they will go to gain it.
With America and Russia holding the alien invaders off in a technological standoff, the disorganised red armies of Mao Tse-tung's revolutionaries causing havoc and the ever-increasing dependence of the Race on the addictive substance ginger, the Empire realises that the colonisation of Earth may only be achieved through its total destruction.

Between being sick and having Internet issues everything computer related has fallen by the wayside. Once I started feeling human again I spent some time trying out the cupcake cookbook (Martha Stewart's Cupcakes) I got for my birthday. I tried the marble cupcakes first and made them glazed and unglazed.
The unglazed were actually better to me. It was a moist cupcake that was not overly sweet. I also made the peanut butter with peanut butter frosting but forgot to take pictures. Those were a bit overdone on the peanut butter. I will do them next time but swap out either the cupcake or the frosting with chocolate.
This past weekend I made the yellow buttermilk cupcakes and used this Nutella frosting recipe. It was a nice balance for the plain cupcake.
I really prefer baking from scratch. I find that my cupcakes are lighter than when I use a cake mix. All three of the recipes I have tried have been good. I seriously doubt I will get through all 175 recipes, but it has been fun to experiment a bit.

14th January 2013
Everyone knows how much I love skulls especially my sweet little sister, and when she gave me this amazing bottle of wine for Christmas I completely fell in love with it.
Skulls 2008 was produced by R Wines (a collaboration between winemakers Dan Philips and Chris Ringland) in South Australia. It was then imported to Vancouver where she bought it and took it back to Hong Kong. Then she gave it to me for Christmas and I brought it back to Cape Town. How's that for around the world?
The best bit about this wine though (aside from it's 16.3% alc./vol.) is the AMAZING label by Hungarian designer István Orosz, entitled Ship of Fools. It's surreal and beautiful. Orosz is often compared with M. C. Escher because of his forced perspectives and optical illusions, so spend some time seriously checking it out.
As Eat Magazine says: "This wine, and its label, is not for the feint of heart."
Think we'll have to save it for a special occasion.

ISI FESTA was a large scale event, with 1700 people from over 65 countries around the world gathering at the Shinjuku Bunka Centre, including over 100 special guests, to watch our students exhibit the results of their hard work and effort over the last year.
The first part featured a speech contest. 12 participants delivered a speech in Japanese as their classmates cheered them on, based on the themes "Me before I came to Japan, and me after I came to Japan" for the Intermediate Level participants, and "Me, Japan, and the world: in ten years time" for the Advanced Level participants. The second part showcased various performances from our students, and from guest musicians and singers. Our guest performers included TAEKO GLORY, Wagosnation Gospel Choir, and AUN & HIDE, who sang of Japanese hospitality and the Japanese heart. They put on a special performance, and left a strong impression on the audience.
This year ISI Group received incredible support from our sponsors in creating ISI FESTA, from companies, organisations, and individuals, many of whom donated prizes for the speech contest winners and participants. ISI FESTA was a huge success again this year, and will undoubtedly become an important memory for our students graduating in March.
There were students from many different countries, and I was surprised by the speech contest participants' high level of Japanese. I'd love to see them come and visit our university one day.
I saw students from Iran, Germany, South Korea, China… so many different backgrounds, and I felt like I was seeing Japan's future presented before me. It was very exciting.
The speech contest participants pointed out things I've never noticed as a Japanese person, and I was amazed by their accurate use of Japanese. I could sense new bonds being formed between international students and Japanese people, and Japan and the world.
I was surprised by how well the students could communicate in Japanese. The speeches all focused on Japan's future and were truly excellent, and I'm confident people like the students I saw today will make a truly global society in the future. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do from now on.
Everyone's speeches were excellent and I was really moved, and to be honest, everyone in the first half was so good I became really nervous and thought first prize was impossible, so to be picked for first place was took me by surprise. I'm really happy.
I am truly grateful for receiving first place. I don't think I'll ever forget this moment. Thank you for everything.
It's a shame I didn't get first place, but I put everything I had into my speech and I have no regrets. It was an excellent experience. Thank you.
I am still relatively new to learning Japanese, yet thanks to my teachers' guidance and my classmates' support, I manage to win a prize. I am truly grateful.

What is pH?
In simple terms the pH value indicates if the water mass is acid, neutral or alkaline. pH is determined on a scale of 0-14. Under 7.0 is acid, 7.0 is neutral and above 7.0 is considered alkaline.
What determines my tank's pH?
The biggest factor affecting pH is the water that is used to set up the tank and do water changes. The pH of water varies by location. Some other factors can change a tank's pH without a customer trying or knowing.
- Nitrification cycle. As harmful ammonia is converted into nitrates by "good" bacteria, nitric acid is produced which can lower a tanks' pH.
- If your tank has a low level of aeration excess carbon dioxide will lower your pH value.
- Certain aquarium chemicals can lower or raise the pH of a tank.
Why should I know what my pH is?
Even though most aquarium fish will tolerate a wide range of pH (6.6 – 7.2) without dying, pH will affect the toxicity of the ammonia in your aquarium. When your pH is above 7.0 it combines with ammonia to make a very harmful combination. When your pH is below 7.0 (acidic) your ammonia's toxicity is reduced.
How do I test my pH?
We sell inexpensive pH test kits that are easy to use and read. If you have trouble determining the results of your pH test, bring in your water and we will test it for you.
Should I adjust my pH?
Yes. It is safer to have your tank's pH below 7.0 because it lessens the toxicity of ammonia. In some areas it is difficult to keep your pH below 7.0 because of local water conditions. Some choose not to adjust their pH and work to keep ammonia low, feeling this is easier than trying to manage pH.
How do I adjust my pH?
This is not a big deal. Owners of swimming pools are doing it all the time!
If your pH is above 7.0 and you want to lower it:
- You will need a pH test kit and pH adjusting chemicals. (Both are sold at our store)
- Follow the instructions for whatever type of adjusting chemicals you buy.
- pH may bounce up and down. After changing your pH, retest it daily for 3 days. If it starts to change add more pH adjuster. Eventually the pH will stabilize until your next water change.
- When doing a water change you should adjust the pH of your tap water before refilling the tank. You could adjust the pH of the new water to math the current pH in your tank, if it is at an acceptable level.
If you want to raise your pH:
- Test your tap water. If your tap water is above 7.0, do a water change as the fresh tap water will raise the pH in the tank. Remember, always dechlorinate water that comes from the tap!

After checking local CCTV cameras, police found that two thieves, 36 year old Prakarn 'Aek' Sangsawang from Prachinburi and 27 year old Seksan 'Ton' Ountan from Phuket.
The two were arrested on March 18 at a hotel on Kra Road and sent to Kathu Police Station.
They confessed that they found her car key in the basket of her PCX motorcycle nearby. They went to ask a second-hand shop to sell the car and returned back to take the car but were arrested before they were able to sell it.

Protesters say more rallies will kick off again at 10pm tonight if the PM doesn't resign
27C with a low chance of rain. That's what the protesters will be facing after their promise to resume anti-government protests at 10pm this evening if the Thai PM doesn't accede to their demands for him to resign.
Phatupat Boonpathararaksa, alias Pai Daodin, released on bail from the Bangkok Remand Centre yesterday, announced this morning that speeches will be delivered tonight by a range of protesters focussing on issues relating to the Thai Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha.
The protesters have been assembled in Thung Song Hong since last night, although there was a reprieve early this morning when traffic was allowed to pass. Police say the protesters' occupation of area in front of the Bangkok Remand Prison is illegal and that they must disperse. The protesters have also been demanding the release of 3 other protest leaders that remain detained after losing an appeal for their release earlier this afternoon. the Appeals Court denied their release on the grounds that they "may repeat similar offences if released".
Parit "Penguin" Chivarak, Panasaya "Rung" Sitthijirawattanakul and Panupong Jardnok, aka.Mike Rayong. were charged with inciting unrest, in accordance with Section 116 of the Criminal Code, and violations of the Archaeological Venues Act (when they embedded a replacement plaque in the Sanam Luang concourse on September 20).
It appears that, after the 10pm deadline passes, there will be fresh protests at many locations around the country.
Earlier this week, following an address to the nation by Prayut Chan-o-cha, the protesters said they would give the PM until Sunday night at 10pm to deliver his resignation. That deadline was shuffled back a day to this evening. No particular reason has been offered for the revised deadline.
Police are now on site out the front of the remand prison and await the announcement of any other protest sites, a system that the protest organisers have been able to keep secret until the last minute.
Meanwhile, Royalist rallies have been held today in Nakhon Sawan, Chiang Mai, Chainat, Loei and Kamphaeng Phet provinces as a deeper polarisation starts to emerge between the two factions. Wearing the trademark yellow shirts (the colour that reprints the Thai King), the demonstrators have pledged their loyalty to the monarch and support for the Thai PM and the current ruling coalition. The pro-Monarchy demonstrators say their providing a balance to the anti-government protests and point out the comments made by the pro-democracy demonstrators and criticisms of the current Thai King.
There now seems a concerted effort to win the 'numbers' game and see who can attract the largest numbers to rallies. With parliament being called back to an extraordinary session on Monday and Tuesday to debate the current impasse, there is little doubt that the rallies, from both sides, will continue to ramp up in number and rhetoric in coming weeks.Keep in contact with The Thaiger by following our Facebook page.

Coronavirus (Covid-19)
Malaysian PM proposes a state of emergency in a political move to postpone budget vote
Malaysia's head of state is said to be consulting with the country's other hereditary rulers to discuss a proposal by Malaysian PM Muhyiddin Yassin, who has requested that the King declare a state of emergency. The Star newspaper is reporting that the country's rulers would meet at 2.30pm tomorrow, after which the king will deliver a decision to the PM.
Muhyiddin had an audience with King Al-Sultan Abdullah yesterday to formally request the rare state of emergency which would result in a suspension of the Malaysian parliament. On the face of the request is the need to take emergency measures to control a recent outbreak in new coronavirus cases. But opposition MPs say the manoeuvre is purely political and not related to the country's response to Covid-19. They say the country is well equipped to make decisions related to public health and the coronavirus outbreak
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has denounced the move as a "power grab" by the country's PM. The Council of Rulers, which groups the heads of Malaysia's 9 royal houses, has the power to withhold consent from any law and deliberate on questions of national policy.
Malaysia is suffering a resurgence in Covid-19 cases, much more pronounced than the first wave in March and April. The move to apply for the dissolution of the Malaysian parliament is being read by commentators as a political stunt, unrelated to the coronavirus spike, since PM Muhyiddin faces a leadership challenge from opposition leader Anwar, who last month claimed majority support in parliament to oust the premier.
Meanwhile, the palace has not formally identified the specific recommendations made by the PM, and says the king will "soon" be discussing the motion with Malaysia's other heredity rulers.
"Al-Sultan Abdullah greatly understands the need for the country's administration to continue to tackle the threat of Covid-19."
Malaysia has suffered between 800 – 950 new cases per day over the past week, a spike in new cases, causing concern for the South East country that had largely contained the worst of the spread earlier this year.
As a background, the ruling government government is scheduled to propose its 2021 budget on November 6, and there have been questions over whether the PM can muster a majority to pass the supply bill. Defeat on the budget would count as a vote of no-confidence and could trigger an election. Any state of emergency, involving the dissolution of parliament, would postpone a vote on the forthcoming budget.
The government agreed at yesterday's special cabinet meeting that declaring a state of emergency would halt any attempts to politically destabilise the government, "allowing it to focus on containing the outbreak".
In a state of emergency, the Malaysian King is able to act on any important bills at his discretion.

Illegal gambling site taken down after raids, alleged earnings up to 10 billion baht
Billion, with a 'B'. A group of 6 Thais have been arrested over the operation of an allegedly lucrative illegal online gambling website. The website, since closed down, was called 'Marwin Net.com' which was allegedly connected with previous raids in Chon Buri. Police claim that the gambling ring has generated an astonishing 10 billion baht.
The online gambling ring is facing charges of the illegal operation of the gambling website and money laundering.
Police report that they seized 50 million baht in cash, 8 luxury cars, 5 guns and ammunition. The suspects were arrested in Chon Buri, Koh Samui and Bangkok. Police say that another suspect is currently at large having fled Thailand. Police say they will be seeking the assistance of transnational police.
The national raids were co-ordinated by the Thai Commando Police and were conducted during the past week in different locations around the country.
6 Thai nationals were arrested and remain in custody for the alleged operation of the gambling ring – 27 year old Kietisak Jaroensuk, owner of the web domain, 27 year old Surin Kaewsangthong, 27 year old Jaruwan Pumpuang, 28 year old Nattaphon Kumsap, 27 year old Chalita Pitaksakunsasem and 28 year old Taweephong Suksuwanphon.
Police told The Pattaya News that the server for the web domain was operated offshore. They say that the gambling ring is run by the same operator who was raided 2 years ago in Chon Buri. Although the domain owners changed the name of the website they still retained the same URL.
