Hello world!
My name is Sandra Roberts-Anderson. I received a BFA in Art/Photography at CSUN in 1972 and an MFA in Photography through an extended program at the Museum of Art in S.F. in 1979.
I worked for the premiere E6 photo processing lab in Hollywood, CA. for 7 years, serving the worlds top High Fashion photographers, most of whom I got to know very well and would be the only one allowed to take a test strip, judge it, and decide how long to process the balance of the film for optimal results. I have a very sensitive color vision.
The photographers I worked with on a daily basis were Greg Gorman, Matthew Ralston, Herb Ritts, Nancy Rica Schiff, Annie Leibovitz, Henry Diltz, Bruce Weber, Gilles Bensimon of Elle Magazine, Larry Williams and too many more to name. It was an exciting time. I'd get to see the film before even the photographer! I was learning every day; one of the owners, Ish, had really taken me under his wing and continually provided me with new learning experiences. It all had a positive influence on business, as the photographers gave me more and more of their confidence. I became friends with several of them, attending their parties and birthdays.
After that, I went to work as a script supervisor in the Hollywood film business, until sidelined by a severe illness.

NEW YORK -- A year after filing for bankruptcy and changing ownership, Crunch is making waves with the addition of new clubs.
This week, Crunch added two clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area, clubs that were formerly Gold's Gyms. The New York-based company also announced a new location in Gresham, OR, a suburb of Portland, part of Crunch's new line of franchise clubs.
The two Bay Area clubs bring Crunch's total to 21, including six others in San Francisco. New York, Los Angeles and Miami house the rest of the Crunch clubs as the company looks to expand in new markets. During its bankruptcy and sale proceedings last year, Crunch exited the Chicago and Atlanta markets.
The franchise club in Portland is expected to open in September with lower membership rates, varying from $9.95 to $19.95 a month. Crunch's pre-sale website, www.crunchportland.com, is offering no money down at enrollment and the $9.95 monthly rate.
"We are thrilled to expand the collection of state-of-the-art gyms that make up the Crunch brand," Ben Midgley, president of Crunch Franchise, said in a statement. "Portland is the perfect destination to welcome these new clubs and to accelerate the growth of this distinctive entity in the fitness industry."
Midgley joined Crunch in January. He left Planet Fitness, Newington, NH, in the spring of 2009 after having served as Planet Fitness' vice president of development in charge of franchise sales. Midgley had served as World Gym president when Planet Fitness briefly owned World Gym.
Midgley is no stranger to Mark Mastrov and Jim Rowley, co-founders of New Evolution Fitness Co., Lafayette, CA, the company that bought Crunch out of bankruptcy last year. All three worked together at 24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA.
Crunch is celebrating its 21st birthday this month with its new micro site, www.crunch21.com.

Mary Muthohi is among the 3.8 million Kenyans who are facing the bruising effects of drought. Yesterday she had to borrow food from her neighbour to feed her five children. The whole family had not eaten at all the day before. Watch video
NAIROBI -- Mary and her family, like many other farming families in Kenya, are facing a bleak few months. During this time, food assistance will be crucial.
This is just the beginning of Kenya's food crisis, but the drought has already ravaged the country. In parts of central Kenya, 50 percent of shallow wells, boreholes and other water sources have dried up. People walk up to 30 kilometres in search of water.

Tata threatens govt over e-car loan decision
'Give us the cash, or else!'
Leccy Tech The government's relationship with Indian car maker Tata could be turning sour, following delays over a multi-million pound e-car loan.
Tata wants a £10m govt loan to help it build a UK e-car production line
Back in April Tata applied to the government for a £10m ($16.3m/€11.6m) loan to help set-up a UK production line for its Indica Vista leccy hatchback.
But Tata's since been told by the Department of Business Innovation and Skills that a decision on the loan won't be made for another eight weeks – significantly extending the length of time that Tata must wait for an answer.
Tata – which also owns Jaguar Land-Rover - has implied that this just isn't good enough - threatening to bin entire the project if a decision isn't reached pretty damn quickly.
If Tata is awarded funding then the cash will come from a £2.3bn ($3.8bn/€2.7bn) car assistance package, which the government announced back in January. The cash is earmarked for schemes that could help the UK car industry out of the current crisis and eco-friendly car development projects.
But it's worth noting that a cross-party group of MPs recently pointed out that, to date, the government hasn't spent a single penny of its car assistance package cash.
To make matters worse, the government is also still haggling with Tata over the exact terms of a €340m ($556m/€394m) loan that Jaguar Land-Rover agreed with the European Investment Bank back in April.
Reading between the lines, the government's caution may be something to do with the fact that it lent MG Rover £6.5m ($10.6/€7.5m) back in April 2005 - only to see both the cash and the company vanish down the toilet almost immediately afterwards. ®

Telerik, a developer of tools and UI components for .NET, has announced WebAii Testing Framework (Beta), a free web automation framework that helps developers and QA professionals write functional tests for AJAX and Silverlight applications, and the Q2 2009 release of its RadControls suite of tools, including what the company claims is the first commercial 3D charting tool for Silverlight.
The WebAii Testing Framework provides a single API that lets users automate the UI of web applications as part of regression testing. Besides Silverlight support, a key benefit of WebAii Testing Framework is the browser abstraction, which lets developers create a test once and execute it against all major browsers.
"WebAii Testing Framework has been designed in partnership with ArtOfTest to address developers' challenges in testing modern web applications. Many people are not running functional testing because the tools are difficult, expensive, and lag behind from a technological standpoint," says Telerik's Svetozar Georgiev. "The WebAii Testing Framework is free, supports complex AJAX scenarios on all major browsers, and most importantly supports Silverlight. Telerik's WebAii Testing Framework removes the barriers to functional UI testing."
In addition to testing AJAX-based applications, the framework has a UI object model that mimics the complete list of UI XAML elements in Silverlight, letting developers perform basic automation actions like clicking, moving, and setting text, and giveing access to all properties such as brushes, borders and even transform matrices.
The Q2 2009 release of its RadControls toolsuite includes UI components, Reporting, ORM and Web Testing solutions. In addition to 3D charting for Silverlight, the enhanced Telerik Premium Collection for .NET includes a full-featured Silverlight Scheduler, combining Outlook-style convenience with advanced editing capabilities; and Visual Style Builder, enabling point-and-click customization of skins for Telerik's RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. All in all, the Q2 2009 release delivers more than 30 Silverlight controls. Telerik's Georgiev added that "our Q2 release of the Telerik Premium Collection for .NET brings us another step closer to supporting the developer community in all aspects of the development lifecycle."
Most of Telerik's Silverlight components have identical Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) counterparts. Both the Silverlight and WPF suites are derived from the same code base and share the same API. With the release, Telerik continues to support a line of desktop components. The new WinForms volume features performance enhancements in the underlying framework, resulting in minimized memory footprint and efficient re-painting.

EX Deoxys (TCG)
EX Deoxys (Japanese: 蒼空の激突 Clash of the Blue Sky) is the name given to an expansion of cards and Theme Decks for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set centers around the mysterious Pokémon Deoxys and its various formes.
The release of EX Deoxys was delayed to coincide with the release of the movie Destiny Deoxys. Because of this, Nintendo released EX Team Rocket Returns before EX Deoxys, throwing the English sets out of sequence with the Japanese sets and causing the confused set number gap between the two languages. Nintendo would also later do this with EX Legend Maker, albeit due to translation errors.
The set marks the English TCG debut of the final Generation III Pokémon, Deoxys. All Deoxys cards have the Poké-Power Form Change that allows players to switch between its various formes as featured in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
- EX Deoxys was the first set to focus on and be named after one specific Pokémon. This would later be applied in Platinum: Arceus, which also centralised around a movie and focused on the final Pokémon of its current generation.
- Deoxys cards that portray different formes are still treated as one card, as they share the same name. Forme differences did not bear an effect on the name until Deoxys cards released in Legends Awakened.
- The reverse-holographic design for this set features a 'wheel' pattern and the EX Deoxys set logo.
- The secret box topper for this set is Rocket's Raikou ex.
- The Prerelease card for this set is Manectric.

First Image Taken by Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera
On the right is part of the first image taken with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) Wide Field/Planetary Camera. It is shown with a ground-based picture from Las Campanas, Chile, Observatory of the same region of the sky. The Las Campanas picture was taken with a 100-inch telescope and its typical of high quality pictures obtained from the ground. All objects seen are stars within the Milky Way galaxy.
The images of the stars in the ground-based picture are fuzzy and in some cases are overlapping, because of smearing by the Earth's atmosphere. The same stars in the HST frame are sharper and well resolved, as shown by the double star at the top of the image. By avoiding the Earth's atmosphere, the HST gives sharper images and better resolution. In this early engineering picture, the HST images are roughly 50 percent sharper than the ground-based images.
Technical Details: The first image taken with the HST is intended to assist in focusing the telescope. The region observed is centered on the 8.2 magnitude star HD96755 in the open cluster NGC 3532, in the southern constellation Carina. Identical small subsections of the HST and ground-based image pictures were chosen to highlight the difference in resolution. The field shown is approximately 11 x 14 arcseconds in size and does not contain HD96755.
The ground-based image was taken by Dr. Eric Persson at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, using the 100-inch DuPont reflector. We thank the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington for permission to use this picture. The three-second integration was made with a single Texas Instruments charge-coupled device (CCD) of the type used on HST. A broadband visual filter equivalent to the HST filter was used. The small field shown was extracted from an observed area covering 130 arcseconds on a side.
The HST image is a thirty-second exposure taken by the Wide Field/Planetary Camera. The picture shown was extracted from the area observed by the WF-3 OCD using the F555W broadband filter. The measured width of star profiles (FWFM) gives a good indication of the angular resolution. For the Las Campanas picture, the FWFM is 1.1 arcseconds, typical of exposures from the best ground observations. The FWFM of the stars in the HST picture is about 0.8 arcseconds, which points out the remarkable increase in resolution of the HST even at this early stage of the focusing task.

Mitsubishi has released the latest in a series of vertical-axis robots that are designed to perform particularly dexterous and complex tasks formerly operated by humans in a factory setting. RV-F is the new release in the company's
F series of six-axis vertically articulated robots designed for speed, precision, and ease of integration, according to the company.
Advanced features such as a force torque sensor and coordinated motion and automatic collision avoidance make the RV-F and F-series robots particularly well-suited for tasks such as material handling, machine tending, assembly, picking, packing, kitting, dispensing, and inspection, Sunny Ainapure, a senior product manager for Mitsubishi Electric Automation, told Design News. "Vertical articulated arms are more flexible and can help reduce the cost of other components in an application," he said. These tasks, usually reserved for humans, can now be performed by robots like those in the F-series.
Indeed, even as assembly and processing tasks become more complex, factories and production plans are looking to reduce costs and improve productivity through more automation. Mitsubishi and other companies offering robots for factory-automation systems are responding to this need with more sophisticated technology that can do more, Ainapure said. "The new F series are faster, have higher payload, larger work envelops, much higher toleration of inertia, collision avoidance, robot cooperation, have dress packages through the center of the last axis, force torque sensors, and have grease changes at 24,000 hours," he told us.
Specifically, the F-series robots include SCARA robots with payload capacities of 3kg, 6kg, 12kg, and 20kg, and articulated robots that offer 2kg, 4kg, and 7kg payload capacities. Each new F-series model comes with improvements in operating speed, Z-axis speed, and/or operating range, depending on the robot selected, the company said.
The RV-F also features internal routing of cables and hoses, as well as standard features that span the entire F-series line. Those include 64-bit RISC processing, multi-task programming, plug-and-play interface to Cognex cameras, and USB and RS232 ports, which make them easy to connect to a PC. Mitsubishi's F-series robots also comply with ANSI/RIA/ISO 10218-1-2007 safety standards and are available in CE for global acceptance. They are available in both vertical and horizontal configurations, according to Mitsubishi.

Charles Clérice was born in Buenos Aires into a family of Normandy origins. The family moved to France after the death of father Clérice in 1881. Charles found employment as an illustrator and lithographer. The signature of Clérice appeared regularly in the early issues of La Semaine de Suzette in the 1910s, with comics featuring Arabs and Persians in the fairytale atmosphere of 'Arabian Nights'.
Charles was sometimes helped by his brother Justin in the production of posters. These posters are mostly signed "Clérice Frères". The Clérice Frères also published two books of 'L'Affaire du Courrier de Lyon' at the SPE in 1938 (text by Aleyrac).

When I'm in the main menu, the upper part of the background of the screen is plastered with white stripes. While in the game (at least) I haven't encountered it, but it's still kinda off throwing.
My system is:
Windows 10 Pro
i7-4770S CPU @ 3.10GHz
The game is installed via steam. Both reinstalling and searching the game data for errors didn't help (though the search seems to find 1 defect file after each start of the game; Tried setting the whole game folder as read-only. Bug persisted, but the game crashed via popup that it can't write in its own folder... at least after that, no file was corrupted).
The bug persists for both full screen as windowed, independent of the resolution.
In the AMD folder, I've disabled all AMD settings that might tinker with the game.
Windows compability options don't solve it either.
I don't know whether they're helpful or not, but here are the console logs from the game folder:

Leftover Turkey Recipes: Nanny's Turkey Curry Plus 12 More Recipes
Leftover Turkey Recipes
Love Thanksgiving Leftovers but Tired of the Same Old Turkey Recipes?
Leftover turkey is almost as popular in my house as the Thanksgiving feast itself! Are you tired of the standard leftover turkey recipes yet? In our house, we tend to cook turkey several times a year, just so we can eat leftovers. My mother-in-law is famous for her Turkey Curry, in fact on every summer vacation, we beg to cook a turkey just so she will make curry the next day.
While I love curry, I also like soup and my husband loves hot turkey sandwiches the next day. So, I searched the internet to find many recipes for leftover turkey. I am only sharing 12 with you here, but each of these links will lead you to dozens of additional ideas for leftover turkey. I tried to pick the very best ones with the best reviews or that I thought were creative, different and easy. Who wants to spend a whole other day in the kitchen? I usually wait until Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving to make the stock and either soup or curry.
Here is Nanny's turkey curry "recipe." The truth is she doesn't have a recipe. These are just guidelines. The secret is to cook the bones for as long as possible to create a rich stock and to use a good quality curry powder (or make your own.) We usually get a pot of soup and a pot of turkey from the leftovers, which we means we stretch our grocery dollars and get to eat great food for several days.
Nanny's Turkey Curry Recipe
Remove the leftover turkey from the bones. A good turkey curry needs lots of turkey stock so put all the bones and skin into a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Add carrots, onions and celery to taste to the stock. Simmer for at least 3 hours.
The left over turkey should be cut into bite size pieces and stored in the refrigerator. If you have dressing use that too. We make a bread dressing or a sausage meat dressing and both of those add a delightful flavor to the curry.
When the stock is ready for use you can begin to make the curry. I'm not going to give you quantities because they depend on your family size, the amount of leftovers you have and your personal taste. We always buy large turkeys so there are leftovers.
Saute chopped onions and apple in a large frying pan. I suggest 1/4 onion and 1/4 apple to each cup of cut up turkey, but we love spicy food in our family. Add 3 to 4 cloves of chopped garlic and cook until the onions are tender. Add curry powder to taste to the frying pan, I would suggest 1 to 2 TBSP of good quality curry powder for a large pot of curry. Make sure to stir the curry into the cooking oil with the onions, garlic and apple as that brings the flavor of the curry out and prevents it from burning.
In a large soup pot, put the onion-apple mix and all the turkey you have. Cover with the turkey broth that you made. You may add several tablespoons of tomato paste if you like the tomato flavor in your curry. Here is where you can also use up any leftover gravy. It adds a richness that nothing else can.Cook gently for several hours to make the meat tender and full of the curry flavor. If you want a thicker sauce make a flour paste and add just before you serve. Don't thicken it too much as the rice or baked potatoes you make will want to soak up the gravy.
Serve curry over rice or potatoes.
Serve with a homemade chutney and some fresh bread. (Nanny didn't add this piece, but what my husband remembers is that she also always served a fresh fruit salad with the curry.)

Town of Tioga, Texas Rallies Around 'Adopted Son' Randy Travis
Randy Travis moved to Tioga, Texas only recently, but the town of just 803 people is treating him like a lifelong friend. Townsfolk say the singer has been nothing but generous and humble since becoming part of the community, and they're pulling for him as he fights for his life after congestive heart failure and a stroke.
Signs have begun to pop up around town reading: "Pray for Randy Travis, One of Our Own." Video footage and interviews captured by WFAA-TV in Dallas show how the tiny town has nothing but love for a man one resident calls their 'adopted son.' Tioga is a true water tower town, with an old, slightly-dilapidated tower still standing tall within the city limits.
Travis has been in the hospital since Sunday (July 7), when he was admitted with a viral cardiomyopathy. He's since had a heart pump implanted, and more recently, brain surgery following a stroke on Wednesday night (July 10). His condition remains listed as critical, so fans, friends and fellow country stars have been sending prayers his way.
In addition to Nancy Jones' (wife of the late George Jones) visit, Travis has received messages from Keith Urban Brad Paisley and more. Kenny Rogers and actor Chuck Norris are among the celebs who have paid him personal phone calls.

This book is rousing and suspenseful. Jack is a personable champion and an honorable man. Grace is a plausible heroine. There were a few times, though, I thought her a bit too naïve. Still, she had tried to be a dutiful wife and Daniel had been an unusually controlling, aloof partner. I especially enjoyed the description of the marshy, Florida Everglades. Jack and Grace's sojourn there one night while a killer hunted them held me in thrall. For everyone who craves dangerous armchair adventure with a dash of romance, this book is just the ticket for a thrilling ride. Read Full Review

We can't equate the horrendous treatment of animals with the oppression of people.
by Sarah Grey & Joe Cleffie
On May 27, 2015, as the US Supreme Court deliberated about the marriage rights of same-sex couples and the legacy of the Voting Rights Act, a New York Times interview with utilitarian bioethicist Peter Singer, famous for his philosophical work on animal liberation, asked us to consider another kind of bias: speciesism.
Speciesism, as Singer defines it, is "an attitude of bias against a being because of the species to which it "belongs" — in short, discrimination against nonhuman animals. "Humans show speciesism," he explains, "when they give less weight to the interests of nonhuman animals than they give to the similar interests of human beings."
Singer does not think it is speciesist to think human life is more important than that of nonhuman animals in some instances. It is only speciesist to say human life is always more important.
To support this distinction, Singer focuses on the specificities of particular situations. It is not speciesist, for example, to declare that monkeys should not teach physics, because monkeys lack the ability to do so.
It is, however, speciesist to argue that monkeys should be used in medical experiments that are not absolutely necessary, simply because they are not human. He grants that killing "a being with the ability to think of itself as existing over time, and therefore to plan its life, and to work for future achievements" is more wrong than killing a nonhuman animal, but he argues that
given that some human beings — most obviously, those with profound intellectual impairment — lack this capacity, or have it to a lower degree than some nonhuman animals, it would be speciesist to claim that it is always more seriously wrong to kill a member of the species Homo sapiens than it is to kill a nonhuman animal.
People influenced by Singer's concept of speciesism often use it in a stronger sense — and deploy it less carefully than Singer himself does. The concept of speciesism is a cornerstone of the animal-rights movement, whose members tend to categorize it alongside (if not ahead of) forms of human oppression such as racism and sexism.
Those who count animal-rights activists or vegan evangelists among their Facebook friends will no doubt be familiar with this sort of framing: it often involves inflammatory memes juxtaposing images of factory-farmed chickens with images of slave ships or Nazi concentration camps. Israeli animal-rights activists also drew this parallel in a recent viral video, explicitly describing a truck full of chickens as "just like what my grandparents experienced during the Holocaust."
The recent illegal killing of Cecil the Lion has also brought this dynamic to light. Author Roxane Gay tweeted her thoughts on the hypocrisy of white Americans who were outraged about the lion but expressed no concern for ongoing police murders of African Americans, writing: "I'm personally going to start wearing a lion costume when I leave my house so that if I get shot, people will care."
Gay was subsequently inundated with hundreds of messages from incensed animal-rights activists, who insisted that "animal lives matter" and accused her of speciesism. The next day, the hashtag #AllLionsMatter was trending on Twitter.
Given the popularity of these viral images and the influence this thinking has on certain sections of the Left, it's worth taking a closer look at the idea of speciesism.

Black screen on startup
On startup the game will refresh each time I minimize and reload, however, even though the game loads normally it's as if the game screen is not functioning properly and does not register my cursor movement. i.e. I can still click on menu selections but I can't see what I'm clicking on. I'm running windows 8. I love this game and any help would be awesome.

Good stuff. Particularly as it indicates how unstable you are.
That is just a regular inner tube that you modified? Awesome.
I am looking for your posting on predictions for Kona this weekend. Macca? Raelert? Crowie? Bring it. I know you are not running this weekend because you are going to be glued to the interwebs watching.
- October 11, 2012
- Lucho said...
Ya, I was surprised at my stability. But you are throwing 30 pounds around while stepping backwards. Tougher than it looks for sure. That's a $10.00 car inner tube and $2.00 worth of sand.
Kona. No idea. I've barely followed the sport this year. I would bet on Rinny. For the guys you have to go with Crowie and Macca... not necessarily in that order though. Crowie is consistent where Macca has struggled in the past. Jordan Rapp for 3rd maybe (he's American so I want him to win)

I have a hard time staying stable while doing simple lunges with a twist and no weight! Ha! Yes, great exercise!

- Dave said...
Love that one! I'm just getting into sandbag work with my clients and I'm totally gonna use this. Stability is something you don't know you DON'T have until you try and use it in a manner like this.
Have you tried kettle bells at all? I had thought for the longest time that they were just another 'crossfit waste of time' but I couldn't have been any more wrong. Best piece of equipment I've ever EVER used. (And this counts being coached professional powerlifting coaches and playing Division I Football and lacrosse). Amazing they are! I just got a certification in them and use them, push ups, pull ups, tire flips, and thick, 2 inch gauge ropes as my only strength training tools.
The way I see it, whether runner, cyclist, football player, or whatever, all these things (i.e. sandbags and kettle bells) have they're place in making you a better athlete and better performer.
Cheers man!

Yeah, what is up with the lisp?

- FatDad said...
nice vid. i have a homeade medicine ball i crafted from an old basketball, some sand and some duct tape. total coast like $3.the jurassic park camera shake when you drop the bag is rad. are you taking requests because i'd love to see some slosh tube stuff...
- October 11, 2012
- Lucho said...
Slosh tubes look fun but it reminds of the shake weight. If I could find an old pvc pipe I might try it.
- October 12, 2012
- Brett said...
Yea if Chrissie is not racing then I'd put my money on Rinny. She is so much faster than everyone else on the run, she'll be in their head big time. She'll have the 'advantage' of seeing all the splits coming down and they'll have the unenviable task of coming up with reasons to stay positive while they watch her walk them down.
- October 12, 2012
- Lucho said...
Brett- But Rinny has placed a huge focus on the bike this year... imagine being one of the other girls, crushing the bike, then looking back and there's Rinny? You are now starting the run with a 2:52 marathoner.
- October 12, 2012
- FatDad said...
hahaha....oh dude, a lucho shake weight tutorial would explode the internet...hahaha. it would be an interesting social experiment to see how long it took for a deadpan ironic video to start showing up as a training recomendation. "This guy won Leadman, it must really work."
- October 12, 2012
- Lucho said...
That's hilarious. I wonder...
- October 12, 2012
- Jeff said...
you're a liar. that's more than $2 worth of sand- probably more like $2.75
Kona today. Crowie will destroy.
- October 13, 2012
- Lucho said...
You don't know. The 40 pound bag was 2.95 and I only used 30 pounds. So it was less than 2.00. I'm saving the other 10 pounds and am going to fill my bike frame with it to make it heavier.
Hell ya Kona man! I'll be here all day.
- October 13, 2012
- FatDad said...
Bulgarian Ball Buffer. That's all.
- November 01, 2012
- Bri Henderson said...
Tried this with my original sandbag workout!
10x dead lifts, 10 stand ups (alternate which shoulder u put the sandbag on - lay flat and stand up), 10 lucho lunges and then either sprint with sandbag or (if stuck on a treadmill) do as many 40x20 sprints as you can (sprint 40s and then hop off to sidebars while tmill keeps running for 20s rest, sprint 40s etc)...... Repeat. Awesome!

Hi RobberPhex
Thank you for alerting me.
I usually look for new requests every day, but regrettably I have to skip a day once in a while. I have added all three of you to the translators group now. If you run into problems, have questions or find pages that are out of date or incomplete feel free to contact me.
Welcome to the translators group and happy translating.
Hello Claus, I tried to translate a paragraph on the page https://userbase.kde.org/Akregator into German. But somehow my changes are not saved. I saw that the translation GUI has changed since the last time I did translations. I guess I'm missing something. Best Regards, Sordon
Hi Sordon,
sorry, due to the massive spam amount we were fighting with we disabled the writeapi on mediawiki for normal users. Unfortunately this is needed for the translate extension to work, and it was also disabled for translators, due to inheritance rules of the access list. This has been fixed, the translator group explicitely got writeapi rights.
I adressed this to Yurchor because they seemed to have marked our pages for translation, but Timothee Giet told me you are the main translation admin.
Basically, we are moving wikis but one of our translators decided to move a lot into the translation todo page, and I wouldn't want to try and resolve this situation without the translation admins knowledge about it, because I don't want to confuse you.
I would like to start translating for the Kubuntu Userbase department.
For now, at least. How do I get started? I think I need an account with the privileges and then everything goes by itself.
I am just wondering now though ... at this point.. whether subpages would need translation first, prior to the initial index for that site (https://userbase.kde.org/Kubuntu). It also appears as though you are Dutch :p.
Regards, Bart (Xen).
Hi Bart,
Yes, you need translators priviliges. I'll be happy to grant you those priviliges, but I need you to add your name and a few other details on this page: Translator_Account.
Translation is easy once you have the required rights: just click on the link above the languages box; that takes you to the translation page. You can translate any content (once it has been marked up for translation) in any order you wish. And when you are done with the Kubuntu stuff, you might enjoy translating some of the KDE stuff :-).
You can find more info on translation work here: Translate_a_Page
Btw. if I appear to be Dutch it is probably because the translation software has confused some of my admin work for proper translations. I am in fact Danish.
Regards, Claus
Have you checked the Tranlator Account inquiry page?
I have now :-)
I have been away for a week without internet, sorry.
I just noticed a problem while editing this page. I say there "As soon as similar projects exist for countries connected to this language they will be listed here." and sure we will do that but how is that going to happen technically?
Assume there will be four links for the English page (due to the many countries speaking English and the national limitation of the projects), one for the French version, none for most of the others. There are no problems if this is done as text but that would be strange, wouldn't it? Does the translation tool allow lists or tables with different lengths in the language versions? Do we need some kind of dummy structure in the English one?
Technically it is not a problem having list or tables of different lengths in translated pages. It works this way: The English page is split in translation units by blank lines. Each unit may be replaced by any content by the translator, even by no content at all.
On the other hand, if you want to have content on the German page for which there is no similar English content you would need to create an empty unit. It should be possible to do this by placing a comment surrounded by blank lines at the appropriate position in the English page.
With today's update of the Translate extension, we have two new options in the "I want to" combibox -
Review all translated messages in... and Accept translations in.
These should be useful when you are checking on the work of new and relatively unknown translators. They are only available to translation Team Leaders, at least for now.
Hi, Claus. Could you please read and comment on http://userbase.kde.org/Talk:Kontact_Mobile#Rename_page_to_Kontact_Touch._684
Perhaps an accident? Could you take a look, please?
Yes, it was an accident. I have no idea how it happened - my best guess is that it was somehow inadvertently pasted there, but I have no recollection of using that phrase anywhere recently. Anyway, I have removed it.
You now have perms to upload your own translations. When you have finished a translation, or finished a translation session, open Special Pages -> Wiki data and tools -> Import translations and point it to your .po file. Let us know if you meet any problems.
Thanks. I have tried a few pages, and so far no problems.
We are close to moving UserBase to the new Chihuahua theme. There are some big advantages with Chihuahua, not the least being the ability to adapt to screen space, both large screens and small, hand-held ones. Much of the work I've been doing lately has been to prepare pages for the switch. As always, with something new, there are likely to be issues that we are not aware of until it is in more general use, so I'm approaching all who have made significant contribution in the last seven days, asking for help.
I'd like you to change your User Preferences to use Chihuahua, as soon as possible. The plan at the moment is that if at the end of this week we have no show-stopper issues we will make Chihuahua the default theme for UserBase, probably next weekend.
There is a public Etherpad at http://webteam.notes.kde.jefferai.org/14? - please add any notes, comments, issues there. It's also helpful if you say "Hi" in the chat window, because that ties a comment colour to your name, so I know who to approach if more discussion is needed.
Thanks for the help.
Claus, I started work yesterday on updating the category language lists to the new format, so that new translators won't get off on the wrong foot. I'm aware that it will outdate existing translated pages, so as soon as I've finished updating those lists I'll pick up the Category pages to get lists of pages using the older format, and make the change to the new one. I don't want to create too much work for everyone else. Hope that's OK for you.
I see that you've already done lots of the pages - sorry I didn't get this written last night
No problem, it didn't take too long. In the process I noticed, that the Gluon page has no category. I would have added one, but was not quite sure how: when making a new section in an existing page, should I leave out the unit number tag and let the translation system generate it, or does this only work when marking up a new page?
Just add the category. The system will generate the new tag. Thanks for fixing it.
Regarding the page User:Hans/HowTo. We (annew and me) marked it as translatable yesterday because I wanted to play with the new translate system before the BoF tomorrow at Akademy. We didn't realize it would show up anywhere since it's a user page, and as mentioned it was only intended as a playground.
The changes have been reverted now, and I apologize for any extra work this has meant for you.

Company could pay millions for junk faxes | Business
ATLANTA -- The Supreme Court of Georgia ruled against a company accused of partnering with a Texas firm to send more than 300,000 junk faxes to metro Atlanta homes and businesses, meaning it could be liable for a $459 million penalty.
In an opinion released Monday, the court reversed a lower court decision, ruling against home maintenance firm American Home Services Inc.
Norcross-based A Fast Sign Co., which received some of the faxes, sued the company in 2003 in a class-action lawsuit.
A trial court entered a judgment against American Home Services for $459 million but an appeals court threw it out. In Monday's ruling, the supreme court sent the case back to the appeals court, saying the company could still remain liable for $459 million, depending on how issues in the case are resolved.

Purchasing Bulk CBD oil at wholesale in Padroni basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Wholesale Bulk CBD oil produced by the plant.
Wholesale CBD Oil Products
CBD oil is one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers in Padroni need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.
Buy Wholesale CBD Isolate in Padroni Colorado
Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD materials, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. We offer bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of wholesale CBD oil products on the market.

Wholesale CBD Skin Care Lotions
Research about CBD is still in the beginning stages. This is thanks to the evolving laws in states like California and Colorado that have begun to note that marijuana has a wide variety of medicinal benefits. CBD pain relief cream has helped multiple patients in states where marijuana is medically legal, and has allowed them to enjoy relief of numerous symptoms.
Much of the research about marijuana has been focused on its THC content. This has left researchers with much difficulty learning about the other ingredients in the plant. The last several decades, however, have taught us that CBD and other parts of the plant can provide many benefits to patients who choose to use them to treat their symptoms.
However, it is crucially important to be sure that you get your CBD cream from a distributor who is authorized. States that are authorized to retail medical marijuana have strict rules about making and distributing these types of creams. Learn about the regulations where you are, and be sure that anything you purchase follows these rules.
It's also important that you learn how much of the cream to use, as well as the precise way to apply it. Ingredients of the cream are always absorbed through your skin, so it can be tough to sort out the right dosage for you at first. Some individuals will recommend that you start a chart when you begin to use the cream, noting the result that you're achieving. For instance, you can note your pain levels when you first begin to apply the cream.
Write down how much of it you use on which are of your body, as well as the brand you've used. Also note how you're feeling fifteen minutes after application, a half hour later, and then after a full our. Keep a log like this, and over time you'll have the right dosage to use for the level of pain that you're experiencing. You'll also know where to apply the cream to your body, as different areas may respond to the cream in different ways. This makes it essential that you keep a careful record of all the areas that you use the cream on your body, so that you'll have a complete understanding of your results.
You'll be able to use CBD pain relief in the states where it is now legal, and it will help you to obtain long lasting freedom from the aches and pains that you currently have. You'll be able to permanently say goodbye to your chronic pain, using a good quality CBD pain relief cream.

Wholesale CBD Topicals From Herb Genix
If you've ever come across the likes of CBD topicals in online shops or even one your local health stores, you're likely left wondering why you should ever put CBD anywhere on the outside of your body in the first place. The general thought surrounding this type of product is that CBD has to be ingested in order for it to provide any usefulness. The truth however is that it works just as well even if it's used externally.
Believe it or not, cannabinoids such as CBD really do work internally and externally alike. In regards to the latter, topicals are among the most rapidly growing means of cannabinoid use. There's actually quite a large variety of cannabinoid rich products currently being sold that are meant only for external usage.
1 - What Is Wholesale Topical CBD Skin Care?
As more research is conducted on THC, the endocannabinoid system, and CBD, many new ways to use products based on cannabinoids are being developed. The advancements over the last few years have honestly been staggering. One of the major breakthroughs was in making them effective when applied to the skin.
Cannabis topicals are often made in the form of lotion, oil, salves, and balms. Any sort of topical cream or oil you can think of has already been given the cannabinoid treatment. Products of this kind are made with active cannabinoids that are absorbed into your system directly through your skin. Topicals can owe their popularity in recent times largely to the wide variety of products available. CBD has even made its way into lip balms, body butters, general cosmetics for the skin, and a number of hair care products.
2 - How Do Wholesale CBD Topicals Like This Work?
Instead of taking CBD hemp oil by mouth, a topical application of cannabinoids means they can absorb into the treated area in a much faster manner. The resulting effects will have a much more focused onset. Orally ingested CBD affects the entire body, and it may take as long as 2 whole hours to work.
Given its nature as such a minimally invasive means of using CBD, the topical cannabinoid method is favored by many consumers that are just barely dipping their toe into the much larger pool of the hemp oil industry at large. Many people are hesitant to take CBD oil orally. An external application feels much safer for a first time experience, especially given the targeted response.
CBD oil topical products are non-psychoactive, much the same as all hemp oil products. Since the cannabinoids are reacting along with CB2 receptors located close to the skin, they never reach the bloodstream at all. The endocannabinoid system is activated immediately upon the oil working its way through the skin.
Since human skin has shown to have such a low rate of absorption for cannabinoids, the application has to be quite heavy. Think of it as a barrier that you're pushing through. As such, CBD topicals generally direct consumers to implement a liberal application to the desired area. CBD is much more prone to penetrating through the skin in comparison to THC however, and it's also a lot more likely to engage the CB2 cannabinoid receptors. This makes CBD a much more popular choice for creating cannabis derived topicals. CBD also has a lot of hemp content, making hemp a great source for CBD topicals.
3 - How Should CBD Oil Topicals Be Used?
Hemp Genix has a wide variety of topical CBD oil products in the online shop. Hemp oil sales made by Dixie Botanicals and RSHO are among the most popular options currently available.

A motorcyclist narrowly escaped death after a lorry overturned just inches in front of him on a busy intersection in Linhai, Zheijiang Province.
In dramatic CCTV footage caught at the Xushi Village section of the No.318 national highway, the lorry rolls over whilst trying to turn left, offloading the 19-ton container into the path of the cyclist waiting at the traffic lights. The container crushes the front of the bike but narrowly misses the cyclist himself.
Remarkably no one was injured or killed in the incident. The truck driver, named Zhu, was heading to the Eastern Chinese city of Ningbo, and said to China Central Television afterwards that that he was lucky to be alive.
"I was driving the lorry downhill, at a speed of about 10 kilometres per hour. As the road winds here, the container tilted toward the right tires, and then the container turned over, followed by the lorry head," he said.
"When I saw the lorry turning over, I hid myself beside the seat. I was lucky, and nothing happened to me," he added.

Bat-like protester
A man shouts from a tree as police walk through St. James park after they moved in to evict protesters during the "Occupy Toronto" movement in Toronto. Backed by a court order, police arrived at the downtown park at dawn and began removing unoccupied tents and garbage, while some protesters screamed at them, some sang and played guitar, and others dug in for an expected stand-off and forcible removal. Protesters first set up shop in Toronto's St. James Park in mid-October, following the lead of Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York's Zuccotti Park.

Fast Swimmers: Seals
These cute animals, which most of you know from television and from circuses, spend most of their lives in the water. They are very good swimmers and divers. They are just as happy and comfortable in water and on glaciers as we are on land. Even in spring, the temperature of their habitat remains around –5 degrees Centigrade (23F). While we have to put on clothes and take many precautions, they don't feel cold at all. Because their fur and the fat they store in their body prevent them from being cold.
Seals live in crowded groups. How do you think a mother seal recognises her young in the group? That is easy. After delivery, the mother seal gives her cub a welcome kiss from which she becomes acquainted with the baby's smell and distinguishes it from all other cub seals.
At birth, a kind of oil called the "baby oil" covers the cub's body. Thanks to this oil, the little body always stays warm. This oil is so dense that during the swimming lessons the cub takes from its mother it floats on the surface of water as if wearing a life buoy. That is because this oil is lighter than water. Swimming lessons for the cub take about two weeks. Once it is over, the seal cub becomes entirely self-reliant.
As is in the case of all other animals, seals are also given by Allah features suiting their environment. This is another sign showing us the mercy of our Lord.

In Arabic culture, as in other civilisations, the cultural dimension of the history of astronomy appears in part in the meanings and origins of star and constellation names. This nomenclature was shaped by cultural symbols transmitted across the centuries. The article describes some examples of the popular Arabic culture that lies behind the names of several stars and constellations.
By Roland Laffitte*
There is today a real interest in the history of astronomy, not only in its mathematical and physical aspect but also in its cultural dimension, that is to say in the representations of the sky and of the celestial imaginary. Furthermore, we may observe a huge effort on the part of many people around the world to make these treasures of the human spirit more generally available. However, whereas two thirds of the common names for stars in star catalogues around the world are Arabic in origin, the very rich immaterial patrimony to which these names belong is largely unknown. It is a cruel paradox.
This situation is due, perhaps to a characteristic feature of the Arab and Islamic astronomy consisting in the fact that the figures represented on the heavenly vault were inherited from the Greeks.
|Figure 1: Brass celestial globe, made in Mosul by Muhammad ibn Hilâl in 674 H / 1275-76 CE; preserved at the British Museum. (Source).
If we consider for example the star names on the figure of al-Dubb al-Akbar ("the Great Bear"), i.e. Ursa Major, as presented on the globe by Muhammad Ibn Hilâl (see Fig. 2.), we may find the following list:
Al-Na'sh, evoking a "hand-barrow", a "bier", but corresponding to an antique Arab divinity: Na'sh; Banât Na'sh ("the Daughters of Nash"); al-Qâ'id ("the Guide"), al-Zhibâ' ("the Gazelles"), al-Hawdh ("the Pond [of the Gazelles]"), Âwlâd al-Zhibâ' ("the Young of the Gazelles"), al-Qafzat al-Ûlâ ("the First Jump"), al-Qafzat al-Thaniyya ("the Second Jump"), and al-Qafzat al-Thâlitha ("the Third Jump"), those names corresponding, as reported by the astronomer 'Abd al-Rahmân al-Sûfî in his Kitâb suwar al-kawâkib althâbita ("Treaty of Figures of Fixed Stars"), written in 964, to the hoof spoors of the Gazelles when they are jumping, afraid as they are when the Lion – a very near figure in the sky – is striking the soil with its tail. Al-Jawn may be "the Black Horse", al-'Inâq ("the Lynx of the desert"), or al-Suha ("the Abandonned One").
|Figure 2: The figure of Ursa Major (Al-Dubb al-Akbar) on the globe of Muhammad Ibn Hilâl in the 13th century, now at the British Museum (published by Johannes Albrecht Bernhard Dorn, 1829).
As we may observe (see Fig. 2), not all the star names are related to the mythology of the Bear. As a matter of fact, within the constellations inherited from the Greeks, the Arabic tradition of astronomy took up the organization of the sky from the Greeks. However, the astronomers of Islam generally indicated in this frame the popular Arabic names for the stars belonging to their own figures, such as the names we just saw in the figure of Ursa Major. Nevertheless, it is possible, as we are trying to show below, to compose representations in conformity with the descriptions given by the Arab classical astronomical texts (see for example Fig. 3).
By the way, for the Bedouins of the Syrian desert, the Daughters of Nash accuse al-Jaday, i.e. Polaris, to have killed their father. But al-Farqadân deem that the killer is not al-Jaday but Suhayl, and interpose between them and the North star. That is the reason why they are called al Hawâjzîn, "the Interposers": they prevent the daughters from slaking their thirst for vengeance, and condemn them to turn indefinitely around the Pole.
It was only in a further time that the Arabs got accustomed to creating new appellations corresponding to the positions of the stars in the Greek figures, such as, once more if we still consider the figure of Ursa Major: Marâqq al-Dubb al-Akbar ("the Lower part of the Abdomen of the Great Bear"), Maghriz al-Dubb al-Akbar ("the Root of the Tail of the Great Bear"), and Fakhd al-Dubb al-Akbar ("the Thigh of the Great Bear"). These are the elements which explain the following international appellations: Merak, Megrez and Phecda.
Living the space of the Great Bear, let us now have a glance on other Arab figures during a short trip in the celestial vault.
We will begin with this original Superlion (see Fig. 4) suggested by the names of the Manâzil al-qamar and the anwâ' tradition. As a matter of fact, the proper Arab Lion is far greater than the classical Lion transmitted by the Greeks: he spreads indeed from the bright stars of the constellation al-Taw'amân (i.e. Gemini, "the Twins") and al-Kalb al-Asghar (i.e. Canis Minor, "the Little Dog"), where his arms are located, till the west end of al-'Adr\â' (i.e. Virgo, "the Virgin"), there is located the asterism al-Ghafr, popularly conceived as "the Tailhair" of the Lion. This Superlion has probably been shaped inside an oral heritage coming from the Babylon through to Aramaic traditions.
Figure 4: A modern composition of the Arab Superlion, with inside, the Lion inherited from the Greeks.
Pursuing our trip, we can look at an immense figure occupying roughly the space of Orion/Canis Minor and Major/Carina (see Fig. 5), we meet Al-Jawzâ', linked in the Arab legends to the imaginary of Suhayl. According to an old tradition, we are told that Suhayl (Canopus) espoused her lover and, unfortunately, he broke her back when entering into the nuptial bed: hence the name of the famous three bright stars that indicate the hour along the night, particularly in winter, that is to say al-Faqâr ("the vertebras"). In consequence of this fatal event, poor Suhayl ought to flee towards Yemen, condemned to indicate the direction of South. According to the legend, Suhayl has two sisters, both called al-Shi'râ: the first of both managed to cross the Milky Way, what explains her name: al-Yamâniyya, "the Yemenite" or al-'Abûr ("the Crossing One"); the second remained alas on the North bank, forever crying for her dear brother moving away towards the South, from where her name : al-Shâmiyya ("the Syrian"), or al-Ghumaysa, "the Rheumy-eyed One".
We may also admire al-Thurayâ (corresponding to the Pleiades) (see Fig. 6), the most famous figure in the Arab imaginary. As you can see, her figure, and especially her right arm, contains a lot of stars endowed with a name explaining their position in the constellation: so, between al-Kaff al-Jadhmâ' ("the Mutilated Palm"), and al-kaff al-Khadhîb ("the Palm tincted with hanna"), we can find: al-'Âtiq ("the Omoplate"), al-Mankib ("the Shoulder"), al-Marfiq ("the Elbow"), and al-Mi'sam ("the Fist"). Note that we only mentioned above the names borrowed by the international nomenclature, namely: Kaffaljidhmah, Kaff, Atik, Mankib, Mirfak, Misam. Furthermore, let us not neglect a very bright star, a bit apart but the best known of them all, Aldebaran, which comes from the Arabic al-Dabarân [al-Thuraya] ("the Follower of Al-Thuraya").
Here below is a testimony of the importance of the celestial figures in Arabic literature, with these two verses of a poem by 'Umar b. Abî Rabî 'a , from the 7thcentury, known by all Arab pupils. The author relates the marriage of Suhayl b. 'Abd al-Rahmân b. 'Awf and Al-Thurayâ l-'Abliyya of the Banî-Umayya, a beautiful metaphor of miscommunication:
O thou who intendst to marry al-Thurayâ to Suhayl,
by God, tell me how they could get on well ?
Al-Thurayâ is Syrian when she is awaking
whereas Suhayl is Yemenite at her rising.
Thus, taking into account the mentioned characteristics of Arab and Islamic astronomy, we do not possess the least picture of the constellations imagined by Arab peoples. But, at a time when the world is living the image revolution, there is a special interest in presenting the figures that are the product of the Arab imagination, as others are doing elsewhere in the world for other cultures.
And besides images, there is also a need of giving the world public Arab star lore. But this one remains to be assembled and will require a considerable amount of work, on classical literature and popular traditions as well.
On the one hand, classical literature is concerned, and the work may be based on the following sources: classical dictionaries, literary texts (poetry, fiction, etc.) and classical astronomical literature. On the other hand, the work consists in gathering the popular traditions. It will be based on popular literature in dialectical Arabic and on oral memory and, being partly pursued on the ethnographical and partly anthropological field, will involve: assembling material provided by orientalists or European travellers to the Maghreb as well as to the Mashreq; local almanacs (kutûb al-anwâ') – on which a consistent work has already been done particularly in Arabia and Yemen –; and collecting data from the populations concerned.
In relation, everybody can understand a very simple observation: at the time of daily meteorological bulletins and GPS, when a farmer using the anwâ' tradition, that is to say the almanacs based on heliacal risings or settings is dying, when a sailor or a fisher, a Bedouin who uses the stars for finding his way is leaving us, when any old man or woman who was accustomed to look at the sky as a clock in the night is going for ever, it is a precious knowledge and a rich star lore that are also vanishing for ever. So it is high time to make haste to collect this precious patrimony and to share it.
Popular literature and oral memory are not only precious tools for explaining a certain number of celestial figures. They can also be used as a reference point for presenting these figures to an Arab public, while also helping to safeguard the cultural heritage of the Arab peoples and of humanity. Such en effort would lead to a correct glaring imbalance existing today between the importance of the Arab patrimony in our conception of the Sky and the knowledge we have of it, and to confer to this patrimony the full place it is worthy of in the celestial imaginary of humanity.

Shopping info: Tanakaya
The Tanakaya liquor shop in Mejiro, Tokyo is a treasure trove if you are living in Japan and fancy some foreign alcohol. Its single malt whisky selection, for instance, is formidable, much better than the vast majority of off licenses in the UK. Tanakaya has a great beer range, good wine, port, sherry, and loads of different spirits.
It is specialising in foreign liquor, so it is not the place to go if you are after sake or shochu, but it does seem to carry limited stocks of Japanese produced foreign style alcohols. This is fortunate for the Japanese whisky fiend because the limited stock of Japanese single malt whisky currently comprises of the Ichiro's Malt range. None of the standards are here - Yoichi, Miyagikyou, Hakushu, Yamazaki, Fuji-Gotemba or Karuizawa - but when I visited they still had a few bottles of the divine Ichiro`s Malt Single Cask 2000 on the shelves (not to be confused with the somewhat less than divine but similarly labeled Ichiro`s Choice Peated Golden Promise.) Ichiro`s Malt is not cheap. Expect to pay between 7,000 yen and 14,000 yen for a bottle, but this is the only place I have found so far where you can buy this stuff on the high street.
Digressing from whisky for a moment, if your budget gets the better of you, as it did in my case, you can always walk away with a few bottles of their Japanese indy brewery beer:
All made by Baird Beer of Shizuoka, Japan. Nice. Loved the labels too: "Shimaguni" ("Island countries"), with Japan replacing England beside the Emerald Isle, and "Teikoku IPA" ("Imperial IPA"), with the Japanese Empire replacing the British as the producer of that quintessentially imperial brew India Pale Ale.
Mejiro Station on the Yamanote line. There is only one exit. Turn left. Walk about 20 meters. It is in a basement on your left. Right beside McDonalds.
3-4-14 Mejiro, Toshima-ku
Tokyo, Japan.
Tel: (03) 3953-8888

One thing I found the hard way is that if you want to purchase something, YOU NEED CASH!! They do not take any kind of plastic. I was heartbroken not to take two fantastic single malts back with me... :(

Iowa Holds Off Iowa State 27-21
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Jake Rudock threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another score, Mark Weisman added 145 yards rushing and Iowa hung on to beat rival Iowa State 27-21 on Saturday night.
Kevonte Martin Manley had seven catches and a TD for the Hawkeyes (2-1). Iowa ran the ball 60 times for 218 yards and snapped a two-game losing streak against the Cyclones.
Quenton Bundrage rallied the Cyclones with two touchdown receptions in the final 4:27. But Iowa recovered an onside kick and snuffed out a last-gasp try by Iowa State.
Bundrage had a career-high 146 yards receiving and all three TD grabs for Iowa State, which is 0-2 for the first time since 2007.
Iowa appeared to have the game in hand when it went up 27-7 with 7:05 left.
The Hawkeyes inexplicably let the Cyclones back in it -- despite a spectacular one-handed interception by Iowa's B.J. Lowery.
Richardson found Bundrage for TD passes of 26 and 17 yards, pulling Iowa State within 27-21 with 2:26 to go as streams of Cyclones fans headed for the parking lot.
The Hawkeyes then recovered an onside kick, but they couldn't get a first down. Iowa was forced to punt it back to the Cyclones, whose lateral-filled final play went nowhere.
Sam Richardson, clearly still hampered by the ankle he sprained in the opener two weeks ago, was 22 of 39 passing for 260 yards and two picks.
Despite a terrible start on offense, Iowa State got back in the game with one throw.
The Hawkeyes answered by beating the Cyclones on a similar scoring play -- and then ran right through the heart of Iowa State's defense.
Bundrage caught a ball near the sidelines and got past Lowery and the rest of Iowa's defense for a 67-yard touchdown, making it 13-7 Iowa with 5:28 left in the third quarter.
But Rudock found Jacob Hillyer near Iowa State's 15-yard line, and he beat a pair of Cyclones defenders for a 26-yard TD reception and a 20-7 lead just before the start of the fourth quarter. The Hawkeyes then ran 14 times in 15 plays on the weary Cyclones, a drive that ended on a 1-yard TD plunge by Rudock.
Weisman had a touchdown overturned by replay in the fourth quarter, but was by far the focal point of Iowa's offense, even though he failed to find the end zone.
Weisman has rushed for at least 100 yards in Iowa's first three games. The last Hawkeye to do that was Shonn Greene five years ago, when he won the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back.
Establishing the run figured to be crucial in this matchup. Iowa and Iowa State both have sophomore quarterbacks -- with Rudock in his first career start and Richardson coming off a sprained ankle -- and much more quality depth at running back than at wide receiver.
The Hawkeyes got their ground attack going early, and they never let the Cyclones do the same.
The Hawkeyes went on a 15-play drive late in the first half that took more than 7 minutes and also featured just one pass. It only resulted in a 27-yard field goal by Mike Meyer, but it sent a clear message that Iowa could do what it wanted even when the Cyclones knew what was coming.
Iowa State rushed for just 59 yards on 24 carries.

Taxis are the preferred mode of transport for visitors in Shanghai. The metered Volkswagen cabs in primary colours are easy to identify and plentiful. The smaller, older cars are generally cheaper. All can be hailed on the street or booked by telephone. The Shanghai subway, costing just a few cents a ride, is perfect for covering long distances, as it covers the entire downtown area and connects to the airports. Alternatively, public buses are common and extremely cheap; however, they can be an uncomfortable and inconvenient experience for travellers, being hot, crowded, unreliable, and frequented by pickpockets. Many visitors opt to join the city's millions of cyclists and rent bicycles from their hotels or one of the numerous hire shops in the city. Shanghai is also a good city to explore on foot and sometimes the best way to get around in the city is just to walk.
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Plug types vary, but the two-pin flat blade and oblique three-pin flat blade plugs are common. Adapters are generally required.
China's currency is the Renminbi Yuan (CNY), which is divided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Make sure you exchange your leftover Yuan before returning home because you may have difficulty exchanging the currency outside China's borders. Foreign cash can be exchanged in cities at the Bank of China. Banks are closed weekends. The larger hotels and the special 'Friendship Stores' designed for foreigners will accept most Western currencies for purchases. Major credit cards are accepted in the main cities, but acceptance may be limited in more rural areas. ATMs are scarce in rural areas.
The international dialling code for China is +86. Phone cards are widely available and calls can be made from post offices and hotels; phone booths on the streets are usually for local calls only. In hotels, local calls are generally free or will be charged only a nominal fee. Mobile phone networks are very advanced and Chinese networks have roaming agreements with most non-North American international operators. Internet cafes are available in most main towns.
Emergencies: 110 (Police); 120 (Ambulance)
Everything about travel documents
Metro Line 2 (Green Line) connects the airport with the city, with regular departures between 6am and 10pm. Public buses also service the airport. Taxis are available and are a convenient way to get to the city, but they are a more expensive option. Many hotels provide an airport pick-up service for their guests.
Car hire is available at the airport and vehicles can be booked in advance.
Taxis are available outside the airport terminal. Do not expect drivers to speak English; use a map to indicate your destination, or get it written down in Chinese. The drive into central Shanghai takes about 45 minutes.
Shuttle buses run between the terminals at 10 minute intervals between 6am and 12am.
Facilities at the airport include banks, ATMs and currency exchange, a post office, luggage storage, and business facilities. There are also several restaurants and shops, including duty free.
Short-term and long-term parking is provided at Shanghai Pudong Airport. Rates range from CNY 10 per hour, for the first two hours, up to a daily maximum of CNY 60.
Free wifi is provided.
