Citylets the Online Home Finder Keeps Getting Bigger

15 February- UK, Edinburgh – ( –

Rental portal has published strong results for 2011 with visitor traffic up 22% on 2010 and enquiries to agents up by 21%.

The performance cements the Scottish-based company’s position as the UK’s most visited dedicated residential lettings site – even outperforming sector giant Rightmove in the Scottish heartland.

The continued growth means Citylets traffic has increased by 200% since 2007, the year the company launched its quarterly datareport into the state of Scotland’s rental market.

Thomas Ashdown, founder and MD of Citylets said: “We’re delighted to maintain our strong growth trajectory with a 22% rise in traffic in 2011.

“We operated in broadly the same geographies as 2010 and are confident these results reflect not just a growth in the rental market, but a growth in our market share.

“Traffic to Citylets is now three times what it was just four years ago.”

According to Experian Hitwise, the online intelligence agency, Citylets’ average monthly rank in the property category (based on UK visits) in 2011 was higher than any other dedicated residential letting site. Citylets was also the only site in its genre to maintain a top 100 position throughout the year & was regularly the most visited lettings site in the UK.

Agent offices on site (Scotland and Northern Ireland) grew over the year to 450, up 12.5% from the previous year.

One of the most interesting findings by Citylets is that more than half of all its Scottish clients are not on Rightmove, the UKs largest property site.

Thomas added: “Rightmove may be the UK’s biggest site, however in Scotland Citylets is the clear market leader for lettings with 54% of our clients not subscribed to Rightmove.

“In major cities like Edinburgh and Dundee, that increases to 85% and in Aberdeen it’s currently 65%. These figures suggest that in urban Scotland, Citylets attracts the larger audiences relevant to our local clients.

“Indeed the figures seem to underline the fact that property markets are predominantly local and it is local presence that counts, not over-arching UK visitor numbers.”

Citylets was set up in 1999, remains under independent ownership and is managed in Edinburgh by its founding team.

Already 2012 looks set to be another interesting year for the company which promises improved site functionality for visitors and a suite of new products for agents.

As well as being the UK’s number one residential letting portal, Citylets established its quarterly datareports in 2007 to fill a knowledge gap about the Scottish rental market. Although more than one in 10 homes in Scotland is rented privately, there was little detailed information about the sector.

With more than 50,000 rental transactions per year in Scotland, involving over 400 agents Citylets now produces a comprehensive quarterly datareport, which is established as the definitive guide among landlords, investors and letting agents.

KB Featured Book
Lord of the Rings
by J.R.R. Tolkein

Kindle Edition published 2009-04-17
Bestseller ranking: 786

Product Description

All three parts of the epic masterpiece combined in one definitive edition of the text.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike.

Ocean Rescue Division

Physically challenged persons enjoy our beaches by transporting a wheelchair designed especially for the beach over the dune-line. The Ocean Rescue Division maintains a beach wheelchair that enables "mobility challenged" persons to go out onto the beach and enjoy the seashore. The original beach wheelchair was provided through a grant from Easter Seals North Carolina and the Kate B. Reynolds Foundation. There is, however, a requirement that persons borrowing the chair must be able to load it into their vehicle without the Fire Department's assistance, on the theory that the members of the department cannot be there to help get the chair out to the beach and back in the vehicle to return it. Call or come by Ocean Rescue Division to make arrangements. You may click here for additional information.

Middlebury College, Master of Arts in Spanish

Northern Arizona University, Bachelor of Arts in Spanish

My area of specialization includes 19th-21st century Spanish Peninsular and Latin American literature and film from a transnational perspective, with an emphasis on the relationship between history, literature, memory, and gender. More specifically, I explore how writers and filmmakers have grappled with the legacies of 20th century dictatorial violence in Spain and Chile, as well as the loss of revolutionary utopianism that characterized the periods of the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939) and the Popular Unity (1970-1973).

My approach to teaching always emphasizes critical thinking, interdisciplinarity, and active learning. In my Spanish language courses, I strive to enliven the language through culturally rich content and encourage students to study abroad by sharing my own experiences traveling and researching in Spain, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, France and Italy. At all levels, I aim to challenge students to question their assumptions and to gain depth of cultural and historical knowledge through the study of language, literature and film.

Hungarian Hunk Fisted By Twins - StaxusDF

Hungarian Hunk Fisted By Twins - StaxusDF

cover photo
Some bastards have all the luck — and Zsolt must be one of them. How else can you explain why this muscled, cropped-haired daddy got the chance to bed a pair of over-sexed twins in the shape of Romeo and Enzo? In fairness, however, when you’re a slut like Zsolt, who seems quite willing and eager to do pretty much anything in bed for an extra ten quid, you’re obviously going to attract the attention of the guys who make decisions of casting — a hint there for anyone thinking of a late entrance to the biz!

But it’s clear from the off that the fun-loving siblings have taken a natural shine to their older companion; and having allowed the hunk to suck both their dicks, they feverishly take turns at fucking the fellow’s ass. And what an ass it is — a real fine bubble-butt that’s as hungry as they come! Little wonder that the brothers are soon hyped up enough to replace their dicks with their hands, as they brutally fist the horny dude for all that he’s worth, culminating in a double-fisted bonanza that really does have to be seen to be believed.

No question about it, Zsolt is one fuck of a Hungarian bitch; and it comes as little surprise when he wraps up proceedings by allowing both the lads to wank themselves off above his face. The result is a mega-sticky frenzy of pent-up goo dripping from the daddy’s all-too-obviously satisfied face!

The Joseph Smith Revelations: Text & Commentary

440pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] in boards.

There was frustration in Oliver Cowdery's 4 February 1835 letter to Bishop Newel K. Whitney. Oliver Cowdery was trying to acquire "the original copy of ... The Law of the Church" and had so far been unable to locate a reliable source. He even confessed publicly to being "not a little surprised" in preparing the revelations of Joseph Smith for publication "to find the previous print[ing in the church newspaper] so different from the original." The problem, as historian Richard P. Howard has noted, was that Cowdery was using "a different original" from what he had seen four years earlier.Indeed, agrees author H. Michael Marquardt, it is apparent that the 1835 version of Smith's revelations was a "revised, expanded text that contained material anachronistic to the original 1831 setting." More specifically, many documents were "added to, excised, and in some cases assigned different historical settings. ... Among other emendations, the changes softened language, reinterpreted economic matters, added offices existing at the time of revision, and inserted references to priesthood restoration." Where events had "not unfolded as proposed," prophecies were reevaluated and, where necessary, revised.What does it matter? Many of the changes are significant, whether one sees them as historical curiosities, background to the intent of now ambiguous passages, or as insight into God's "line upon line" dealings with mortal men and women. The latter may be the most important, as the "evolution of the canon" implies something about the nature of revelation itself. The obvious casualty for anyone undertaking a careful study of church documents is the assumption of infallibility versus a fluid, dynamic model of revelation, what Marquardt calls the "richness of the living text as it is transformed over time." This new understanding reveals "important, fundamental vistas" for understanding doctrine, policy, and history.

Water-hit homes back to normal

19 March 2012

Burst water main

by Angela Cole

Hundreds of families were getting back to normal today after a burst water main left them without water for the day.

The 12-inch water main burst in Loose Road, Maidstone near the junction with Heather Drive at around 4am yesterday.

A team from South East Water were quickly on the scene to repair the main, which involved cutting out and replacing a 4m-long section, but the work was hampered by the large number of utilities in the road.

Many homes in the area had low pressure or no water, so bottled water was handed out.

The repair was completed just after 9pm.

A South East Water spokesman said: "We would like to thank those people affected for their patience while we carried out this emergency repair and we are sorry for the disruption caused."

  • Link width support x1 through x16 lanes
  • Standard PCIe Half-size card form factor to fit into most platforms

LTSSM software capabilities

  • Pre-defined LTSSM tests to help validate the complex and hard-to-test state transitions of the DUT’s LTSSM
  • Detailed reporting to clearly define source of problem for faster debug
  • Easy-to-use test architecture, single click to run all tests

NVMe Root Complex (RC) emulation

  • Scan and initialize the NVMe registers, queues, and interrupts
  • Configure submission queue Head and Tail pointers and completion queue head pointer
  • Add NVMe commands to submission queues and submit these to the NVMe DUT. The commands are available as predefined templates
  • Create PRP lists and PRP entries, or SGL entries and SGL lists, that can be used in the submitted NVMe commands for data transfer

Additional PCIe testing

  • Emulate an NVMe drive
  • Test automation with scripting support for TCL, Python, and C
  • Protocol Test Card (PTC): Test and validate according to the PCI-SIG test specification

PCIe® - PCI Express and PCIe are registered trademarks of PCI-SIG.

Keysight´s PCIe protocol analyzer is a combination of hardware and software features that ensures the fastest time to insight.

Thorough link testing

The U4305A PCIe 3.0 exerciser with pre-defined LTSSM test cases can help validate the complex and hard-to-test state transitions of DUT´s LTSSM. With the ability to emulate either a root complex or an end point in the same card, the U4305A PCIe 3.0 exerciser can help you validate your device whether it is a server or an add-in card. The emulated personality is easily switched through a simple software switch. The LTSSM test cases come with detailed reporting to clearly define the source of the failures, if found, for fast debug.

NVMe testing

Keysight’s NVMe emulator allows users to test devices and create operational scripts that will allow hardware and software developers to simulate a host root complex. The emulator is able to test all of the NVMe functions of a storage device and from queue management to sending traffic loads to create test scenarios to prove device operation.

Aside from the pre-defined LTSSM test cases, the U4305A PCIe 3.0 exerciser can be controlled also through a built-in API interface, which is backward compatible with Keysight’s PCIe 2.0 exerciser. This allows customers to leverage test cases they have already developed for maximum investment protection.

An appeal was made at the meeting for new volunteers to help and support the funeral catering co-ordinators in their areas. It was decided that the easiest and most effective system is to contact either the Chairperson Ann Young at 7769370 or Secretary Miriam Purcell at 087 7953916 to assist on occasion at a funeral in your area. This does not commit you to every funeral.

BALLYKEEFFE CEMETERY - Kilkenny County Council is doing its best, within diminishing resources to continue to keep graveyards such as Ballykeeffe cemetery in a fair and reasonable condition. One of the biggest costs in the upkeep of any cemetery is clearing away debris such as old wreaths, plastic bottles and so on.

Kilkenny County Council is requesting that in future people tending to graves in Ballykeeffe Cemetery bring home and dispose of appropriately their old wreaths and other general items. This would help them immensely in focusing available resources on general maintenance such as grass cutting and keep Ballykeeffe Cemetery as it should be, tranquil and litter free. Everyone’s co-operation with this request is greatly appreciated.

COFFEE MORNING - Will be held tomorrow (Thursday, May 2) at 11am in Droicheád Family Resource Centre. This coffee morning will raise funds for the Irish Heart Foundation where information will be available to create awareness on the importance of having a healthy heart and minding it!!

Please come along and support this worthy cause and donations of cakes and buns are very welcome.

ALZEHIMER CAFE - Will be held from 11am-1pm this morning (Wednesday, May 1) in Harry’s Bar, Langton’s.

CAMOGIE MEMBERSHIP - Membership is now due.

ST AIDAN’S - St Aidan’s NS took on St Canice’s NS recently in a windy Kilmanagh. A slow start by the home side saw them concede three goals inside the first 10 minutes. They settled down after this and Killian Egan scored 3 points before the half time whistle to leave the scores 3-2 to 0-3 at the break.

However, Kilmanagh dominated the second half for long periods and goals from Aaron Brennan and Jack Walton put four points between the sides. A late goal from St Canice’s saw them run out winners on a score line of 5-2 to 2-4.

Team: L. Ronan, D. Lawlor, A. O’Brien, A. McCluskey, P. Brennan, S. Dwyer, K. Ging, S. Keoghan, A. Brennan (1-1), O. Egan, K. Egan (0-3), S. Lawlor, L. Cullen, F. Lanigan, A. Wall.

Akihabara Cosplayer Flashmob!!

Just when you think the world couldn't get any stranger...

Flashmobs of cosplayers doing choreographed dancing [update: from an anime called Haruhi] in the streets of Akihabara. (I love the hurried-but-polite rapid dispersion by police at the tail end of it)

via Tokyomango

Yeah, I don't imagine civil disobedience and cos-player dance numbers really converge.

I really liked Akhiabara and tokyo in general.

Impressed with Street performers and the way usually they define their act boundary, by placing a rope

Formats for 2017 AFCON, 2018 World Cup qualifiers revealed

Posted on January 25, 2015

2015 African Cup of Nations

African football’s governing body (CAF) has approved qualifying formats for the 2017 and 2018 , it announced on its official website.

2017 Africa Cup of Nations

According to the statement, the host for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, known acronymically as AFCON, will be announced on April 8 after CAF’s Ordinary General Assembly in Cairo.

Qualifying for the tournament will begin this June with 52 teams set to enter. FIFA has designated June 8 through 16 as international match dates.

The host nation will participate in the qualifying stages for the first time ever, though the matches they play will not count for points. Instead, they’ll be considered friendlies.

The teams will be divided into 13 groups of four, with the group winners qualifying for the finals. The top two second-placed finishers will also qualify, though the second-placed finisher in the group that includes the host country will not be considered.

The draw to determine the 13 qualifying groups will be made immediately following the announcement of the host.

2018 FIFA World Cup

African qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia will comprise four rounds total, including three preliminary stages. The final phase will consist of 20 teams divided into five groups of four. Only the winner of each group will qualify for the World Cup. No details were given regarding what the preliminary stages will entail, though historically they’ve included a series of home-and-away playoffs.

Preliminary 2018 World Cup qualifiers will begin in October, during FIFA designated international match days. Draws to determine groups and match-ups around the world will be held on July 25 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The qualifying format is a change from the one adopted for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which concluded with a playoff round comprising 10 group winners. The new format is a familiar one, however, resembling those used in African qualifiers for the 1998, 2002, 2006, and 2010 World Cups, with only group winners advancing to the finals.

Though no official word has been given, procedures for seeding in each round will likely be heavily influenced (or even completely determined) by the FIFA World Ranking. If is to avoid being paired with the continent’s most formidable sides, it’ll have to improve on its position in the rankings with as many wins as possible in 2015. will already likely have to compete in at least one of the three preliminary stages. The Pharaohs will be looking to end what would be a 28-year World Cup drought.

Hello Kitty Honda Fit

One would think that with all the Hello Kitty cars that already exist in the world (Hello Kitty Ferrari, Hello Kitty Pick-Up Truck and Hello Kitty VW Bug to name just a few — and I know you really don’t want me to go on which, unfortunately, I could…), that the evil feline would finally decide that there would not be a need for any more. Of course, you would be wrong. Apparently Honda has jumped in bed with Hello Kitty to create the Hello Kitty Honda Fit:

hello kitty Honda fit

hello kitty Honda jazz

hello kitty Honda fit car

My wife loves it and thinks that we should get one. I tried to explain that it would be extremely dangerous to own something like that. There would undoubtedly be huge numbers of people thrown into instant fits of road rage when forced to look at it resulting in an early exit from life for anyone that was driving it. Then again, an early exit would be the most humane thing anyone could do for someone that was unfortunate enough to be seen driving something as hideous as that…

Sent in my Fiona who should have to ride around in a Hello Kitty Honda fit for the rest of her life as punishment for ever thinking that sending me these photos would result in anything besides my wife sending me to the couch in the Hello Kitty sleeping bag…

22 thoughts on “Hello Kitty Honda Fit

  1. You would think this fron Houndai who can’t make any good looking cars so it wouldn’t really do any difference, Hello Kitty or not. But from Honda! It’s an outrage! They make the most fab and best street cars =) Imma kill that feline for molesting them like that!! Grr

  2. LOVE this car!!! Yes, it’s a bit overkill for most HK fans, but it’s cute anyway. @Fia- There are no car companies that mass produce HK edition cars. Sometimes companies do stuff like this for charity auctions. Most times though, someone who has a car like this paid ALOT of money to have it customize and still has $$$ left over to repair any damage to the paint job. @SHEENA- Lucky you, my husband would rather walk through a desert w/o water than drive this or any car that had HK on it, lol :-)

  3. MEN! It’s beautiful like a sunset and only a miserable person could dislike such a thing.
    Hello Kitty spreads joy to all faces except bad people’s and that’s how we can tell the good people from the bad ones.

    You are living in Hello Kitty Heaven but have a curse. you can’t see the beauty even though you are surrounded with it. It’s like you have magical sunglasses that make all things seem ugly even though they are the best thing ever.

    I pity you. One day when I lose all the weight and can squeeze past the doorway, I will go outside and drive this car! I’ll take a road trip!

    There is probably enough room for my 10 Persian cats in there… but not a litter box. Maybe they can poop in my lap.

  4. at first i thought the sticker on the back bumper said “Pimples”. now i realize it says “Dimples”. either way, what the hell?

  5. Ugh… I love Hello Kitty & would probably gush over this if I saw it, but it wouldn’t take me long to get incredibly sick of this car. In fact, I can actually time it- the “aww, so cute” gushing lasted about maybe a minute before I went “eww… this is kind of annoying now”.

  6. Despite the creative blurring, I recognize the design of that license plate. Coupled with “Dimples”, this is a Philippine car.

    I once saw a pink Honda Civic drive past my house. When it slowed down, I saw some lighter decals on it; Hello Kitty heads.

Brief considerations on Korea

datePosted on 08:36, November 24th, 2010 by Lew

Normally I would leave discussion of this sort of topic to Pablo, whose expertise is much greater than mine (and I expect he will weigh in with his own thoughts on the topic too). But I lived there for a few years and had a great deal of time to ponder the security situation there, both through my own research and in discussion with several groups of former soldiers and senior businesspeople whom I was teaching English whilst there, and I think I have a handle on it.

A bit of background. The DPRK (North) and ROK (South) Korea remain officially at war; the armistice agreed in 1953 after the Korean War was not a peace treaty and signalled only a cessation of hostilities which has been accompanied by significant military and intelligence preparations on both sides. It is a tense situation, but it is at a fairly stable equilibrium because the mutual assured destruction principle still holds to a large extent. The ROK and its allies understand that the DPRK and its primary military and command assets are sufficiently well-defended that an assault from the South would draw a counter-attack which would inflict massive civilian, military and infrastructure casualties — estimates range in the hundreds of thousands of deaths in greater Seoul alone, which is within easy artillery range. And that’s with conventional weaponry alone, not taking into consideration the possibility of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons (the regime certainly has the former two; it’s generally agreed that it also has the latter, but not in a deliverable form). For its part the DPRK understands that such an assault on the ROK would spell the end of its regime at the hands of a US-led NATO force.

There is a sense among people responding to the the news that yesterday’s exchange of artillery fire at Yeonpyeong Island in the West Sea is qualitatively different from the dozens of other skirmishes which have taken place over the past 50-odd years of this cold conflict. It is true that this is one of the more serious engagements of that war, but it essentially follows the same pattern. Some action by the ROK and its allies (in this case a joint US-ROK naval exercise) granted the DPRK a pretext to rattle its chains; it fired a few rounds and some fiery rhetorical statements and the ROK does likewise. Two ROK soldiers have died, a dozen or so soldiers and a few civilians have been injured, and more civilians from the region have evacuated to the mainland. The casualty count is higher than usual, but so far, so typical. Late last night (NZ time) the DPRK released a statement alleging that the ROK had fired first. This is almost certainly false — the ROK rarely instigates these sorts of engagements — but that doesn’t matter. The purpose of the statement is to raise questions as to the ROK’s moral standing in the engagement, and to provide the ROK government with cover to stand down on the basis that it’s not worth going to war over a misunderstanding. If they do stand down the ROK government risks a minor loss of face, but since they are a liberal-democratic state whose populace has no appetite for war (and for the strategic reasons mentioned above) then barring much more serious provocation they will do so, President Lee Myung-bak’s own florid rhetoric about “enormous retaliation” notwithstanding.

Again: business as usual. While this latest event is perhaps quantitatively more serious than some previous events, it is qualitatively no different. This is the same strategic posturing game which is played out every crab fishing season in the West Sea, and year-round on the land border between the two states. The most serious mistake most of those who are now calling this the start of World War III are making is to try to understand this event in customary diplomatic terms as they would the relationship between two liberal-democratic states in good international standing. The DPRK’s actions and motivations make no sense when viewed in this light, because the DPRK is not, and never has been such a state. The explanation of these events are to be found, if anywhere, in an examination of the DPRK’s internal regime dynamics. Pablo has written about this topic recently with regard to the sinking of the ROK naval vessel Cheonan in March, and I urge you to reread his post in light of these most recent events.

So I don’t think there’s anything much to this. Due to the DPRK’s military doctrine of total war, an invasion or genuine commencement of hostilities would not begin with a few mortars; it would start with a massive and rapid deployment of force, targeted at the most vulnerable civilian and infrastructure targets, likely in the middle of the night and preferably during an adverse weather event or some sort of civil unrest. None of these conditions abide at present. But the fundamental point is that the tense yet stable strategic situation on the 38th has not changed, so it is very unlikely that either side will choose this juncture as the hook upon which to hang the possible demise of their state. There have been some recent developments in that strategic situation — the probable elevation of Kim Jong-Il’s son to a senior position in preparation for ascent to leadership of the regime; fresh concerns about the regime’s nuclear weapons program, and so on — but I believe these are too minor and too recent to have wrought the sorts of changes to the internal DPRK dynamic and to the cross-border dynamic which would be required for a substantial change in posture.

Of course, you never know. I have no special inside information or insight into the strategic situation there, and it may be that events of which few people are aware are driving this situation. But on the face of things this has been just another day on the 38th Parallel.

    Good analysis Lew.

    I guess the only real danger is if this attack was precipitated by some internal power struggle between soft- and hard-liners in the DPPK military in light of the succession to Kim Jung-Un’s leadership. The latter was promoted to four star general at age 27 in spite of his complete lack of leadership background or skills. For the old guys who earned their stars the hard way, that may not sit too well, which is why I think that given his limited experience etc., Kin Jung-Un is a walking dead man once the old man kicks off. So perhaps what we are seeing is the first salvo (no pun intended) in an internecine power struggle in light of the succession. That could be trouble as the internal logic of the power struggle could outweigh rational considerations of international consequences. Nukes will not factor into the equation in any event, for the reasons you describe.

    The muted ROK response says much about how they see the situation, because if anyone can glean a motive for the DPPKs behaviour it is its southern neighbour. On the other hand, the response may be muted simply because the ROK does not want to exacerbate the situation or play into the hands of the hard-liners up North.

  2. Lew on November 24th, 2010 at 10:05

    Thanks Pablo. Yes, I agree — though lacking any detail beyond what you describe here and in the linked post I didn’t see much use in rehashing it. But it’s certainly true that those cold warriors are just as practiced at internal brinksmanship and games of annihilation chicken as they are at the external versions we’re familiar with.

    That said, I do have a theory (based on discussions with Korean veterans, for what that somewhat distorted view is worth) that the best hopes for Korean peace lie with one of the generals taking the lead, rather than the Kim dynasty; in a similar way to how Khruschev, as a trusted member of Stalin’s inner circle and one responsible for enacting many of its more brutal policies, had seen the failings of Stalinism more clearly than some of the other, more distant, observers within the regime. Though I’m the first to concede that the hope of such a comparatively benign outcome as observed in the USSR is faint in the Korean case.

  3. Eric Crampton on November 24th, 2010 at 10:35

    Visited the DMZ on the USO tour a couple years back. Spooky looking across into a what’s effectively a massive prison camp.

  4. Lew on November 24th, 2010 at 10:45

    Eric, yeah. Somewhat surreal, since most of the DMZ is beautiful forested wilderness the like of which doesn’t exist elsewhere in the ROK. Apparently the last known habitat of totemic Korean animals such as the black bear.

    Found it even spookier from the Chinese side, in Dandong, viewing the DPRK across the river. There are factories and shipyards and apartments and even a ferris wheel on the far side — none of it lit or evidently inhabited. We sat and watched on the riverfront for hours, saw no vehicles except army patrol boats. A few people walking or cycling on the bank, and the only light we saw, just on dark, was the blue glow of a single welding torch down at the waterline. That was a grim metaphor.

    Funny story, though. Once, on a roadtrip in ROK, my wife and I went up toward (not into) the DMZ. I stopped to photograph the explosives laid under a bridge (all the bridges, bluffs, cuttings & dams up there are wired in case of ground invasion). When I returned to the car we were blocked in by police. The officer was very polite and wanted all my details — where I lived, who I worked for, my visa status, &c, and also details of my family and residence in NZ, including phone numbers and all. I thought it best to comply fully, and after 15 minutes or so it became clear that he didn’t care a damn about my taking photos of artillery emplacements or dynamite piles; he was looking to retire soon and just wanted a contact to put on his NZ residency visa application! Never did hear from him, though.

  5. Lew on November 24th, 2010 at 11:53

    And speaking of succession dramas in oppressive dictatorial regimes, rumour is that Frank Bainimarama has died of a heart attack. (According to Ali Jones of Newstalk ZB, this has been confirmed by family member of a senior Fijian interim government official).

    Update: A TVNZ reporter has apparently spoken to Bainimarama this afternoon. So much for that source.

  6. Hugh on November 24th, 2010 at 14:50

    I would guess the opposite, Pablo. While I think the real cause of this little event lies in the internal politics of Pyongyang, I don’t think Jong-Un’s position is as weak as you say it is. Everything you mentioned about his lack of leadership experienced applied to Jong Il back in the 80s, and obviously he had little trouble keeping hold. I think the Jong-Un vs The Generals dynamic you’ve described doesn’t capture the real situation. More likely is one group of Generals vs another group, with Jong-Un the figurehead of the second group, whose real leaders are likely to be Chang Sung-Taek and his wife. Whether one group is more hardline than the other, or whether it’s simply a factional dispute over the spoils of power with no genuine policy content, I’m not sure.

    One thing that does seem interesting to me when you look at the continuum of incidents along the inter-Korean border from 1953 to the present is that the last fifteen years have been mostly dominated by naval incidents while the border itself has been quiet. At first I thought this might be related to South Korea’s well known aspirations to be Asia’s second or third blue water navy. But North Korean naval troublemaking probably assists rather than impedes that aspiration. More likely is a perception on both sides that land-based provocations carry an unacceptably high risk of escalation, while naval ones are appropriately low volume, even when they involve attacks on civilians as this did.

    On a parochial note everybody is talking about this at my workplace this morning. There’s quite a few people who seem to relish the idea of giving the North Koreans a kicking, worryingly, but I doubt their views will find much acceptance in the actual corridors of power, where corruption and apathy is at least accompanied by a realistic view of the costs of war.

  7. Lew on November 24th, 2010 at 15:14

    Hugh, I’m not so sure. Those generals held an actual, genuine loyalty for Kim Il-sung, since he was the guerilla leader under whom most of them served fighting the Japanese — in other words, a real soldier with real nationalistic aspirations. Also, until his death, the DPRK was doing comparatively well — for much of that time, better than the ROK (with Soviet & other patronage). Korean society being what it is, it’s not hard to see them transfer some of that loyalty to his son and anointed heir, but those bonds of military and confucian loyalty have been strained in the intervening decades, and a second-generation of unblooded leadership may be too much to bear, particularly given the state’s flagging fortunes. In addition, the generals are no longer the same — few, if any, from Kim Il-sung’s era remain.

    The remainder of your analysis I tend to agree with. The gung-ho attitude toward North Korea, particularly among Americans who don’t see the downside, is frightening. I find that if you keep repeating the phrase ‘10,000 artillery shells per hour into one of the most densely-populated and congested cities in the world’, they start to get an inkling of the potential for a bloodbath.

  8. Pablo on November 24th, 2010 at 20:38

    I am not sure how you “guessed the opposite” to my comment other than being your usual contrarian self (apparently fueled by water cooler debate), but your first paragraph essentially confirms what I said in my comment on the post–there are factional disputes rather than real international issues at play.

    The rest of your comment was uninteresting, although Lew is always nice to engage with tangents. What the Fox-fed Yank public think about nuking NK (when they are not nuking Iran) is irrelevant, and the fact that the SK leadership is soft-peddling the incident is clear proof that this is not a bonafide international incident worthy of escalation (did I not say this before?).

    It does not matter if Kim Jung-Un is backed by one side or another–it is the succession crisis that matters. I could elucidate a whole lot more on authoritarian succession crises being the Achilles Heel of the regime, but you seem to like simple descriptions of events and historical precedent as explanatory variables rather than conceptual frameworks based upon both of them. So be it. I can also refer you to my previous post on the universal law of genetic decline so as to give you a hint, beyond what Lew explained above, why the son is not quite like the father or grandfather.

    So to put it simply for you, since you already understand the basics without apparently comprehending the bigger picture: it is the NK internecine quarrel about the direction of the succession, not the personalities involved, that are the driving force in this affair. Even if you do not understand this, the SK leadership clearly does even if they have their own domestic reasons for doing so–which is the point that Lew made at the onset.

  9. Hugh on November 24th, 2010 at 22:04

    Pablo, where I disagree with you is your assertion that Jong-Un is a “walking dead man once the old man kicks off”.

    And who’s talking about the Fox-fed yank public? I work for Japanese government.

  10. Hugh on November 24th, 2010 at 22:11

    It’s hard to debate, Lew, because we know so little about what goes on in Pyongyang. Even if we were experts, rather than interested amateurs, there’s little we could say with authority. A big question mark is the degree to which Kim Jong Il cares about his legacy. If he’s disposed to use his powers of patronage to build a pre-existing network of support for Jong Un before he dies, or becomes so sick he’s effectively politically dead, all the factors you’ve listed may not be insurmountable.

    Of course the frustrating thing is that if he had done this we would have no way of knowing, due to the extraordinary opacity of North Korea’s power structures. So I guess we’ll have to see.

    The problem with the sombre reflection on the carnage that a new Korean war would wreck is that it effectively gives the North all the cards. There’s no incentive for North Korea to behave more than absolutely minimally responsibly, at least to anybody other than China or to a lesser extent Russia. If North Korea blows up a crisis that might lead to war the onus is then on the South to defuse it – and there’s an incentive for another crisis to be blown up as soon as possible.

  11. Pablo on November 25th, 2010 at 03:59

    OK Hugh.

    We can respectfully disagree on the fate of Jung-Un and whether he commands enough support to put down what to my mind will be inevitable challenges to his leadership, which I see as the likely cause of this and the previous ChonAn sinking incident.

    My remark about the Fox-fed public had to do with the rabble rousing in the US that I have been watching and was not directed at at your work interlocutors. I should have made that clear.

    Here is an analysis the differs from mine and overlaps with yours and ties into Lew’s original post. It is good food for thought:

  12. Will on November 26th, 2010 at 02:33

    Lew / Pablo,

    You both seem in agreement that this is much ado about nothing. But DPRK’s significance ultimately lies in that it is a client state of the PRC. And China has been unwilling to distance itself from the DPRK. If anything, it is drawing closer. Zhou Yongkong (a Standing Committee member, and a rising power) attended the annointment of Kim Jong-Un (standing next to Kim Jong-Il), while Xi Jinping described the Korean war as a war of foreign aggression, something Jiang Zimin or Hu Jintao have not (at least to my awareness). Turning points are very subtle . . .

  13. Pablo on November 26th, 2010 at 08:07

    The PRC has everything to lose and nothing to gain by backing the DPRK to the hilt. It does need a major conflict in its backyard (in what it essentially views as a buffer state) at a time when it is unable to protect the sea lines of communication upon which it depends on for 80% of its primary good imports (including strategic commodities like coal). The DPRK is an economic drain on, and a source of illegal immigration into the PRC, among many other negatives. Even ideologically the two regimes have moved apart. A major war that forces the US to invoke its security guarantee for the ROK is exactly what the Chinese do not need at this moment.

    If anything, the best Chinese response to a war on the Korean peninsula that involves the US is to stage some sort of assault on Taiwan that will force a quid pro quo ceasefire and withdrawal of troops back to home soil. Even that scenario would be too risky, although less so than committing Chinese troops to battle against US forces on the peninsula.

    So the reason the PRC has diplomatically backed the DPRK is to help it save face and reaffirm the diplomatic ties between them that keep the DPRK as a buffer. And like Russia, the Chinese see anything that keeps the US busy wasting military resources putting out small fires world-wide as a good thing for them.

    Bottom line: the Chinese are into conflict-avoidance unless things are overwhelmingly on their terms regardless of who stands next to who at foreign photo ops. This is not one of those times.

    this was mildly interesting, but could i interject that, in the interests of resuscitating precision in english language discussion of political events, you all consider using the phrase ‘liberal-oligarchic’ in referring to western governments? unless discussing helvetia?

Atlantic City Council passes Tax Increment Financing Policy

November 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

After nearly 30-minutes of discussion and a tweaking of the wording, the Atlantic City Council, Wednesday evening, passed a resolution establishing a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Policy, which has been in the works for months. Councilman Shaun Shouse, said the process involved input from a Citizen Task Force, the Community Development Committee, suggestions from the City Attorney and Bonding Attorney, along with local developer Don Sonntag. Shouse said Bond Counsel Bob Josten suggested the City specifically state in the policy that preference be given to the use of property tax rebates when considering TIF projects, since that results in lower costs to the City by eliminating the bonding process. He said it doesn’t prohibit the City from doing “up-front” grants bonded, or otherwise.

Another suggestion puts the burden on the developer to demonstrate financial assistance is necessary in the amount as warranted, based on “public benefit.” He says that refers to a “Cost-benefit analysis” type of reasoning being used for the TIF. It means people need to be aware that not everyone who requests TIF will receive the maximum amount, and that the City will consider whether the project warrants public input, and that the amount requested is reasonable, considering the benefits back to the City and its residents.

Josten also suggested the City be very clear in how it words “Incremental Taxable Value,” so that any future rollbacks would not result in modifications to the wording to account for that. Instead, the City would consider increased taxable value. There was also a section on what is classified as “Qualified Expenses.”

After the Council unanimously approved the resolution, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Livengood said the fact they were able to come up with a final policy was “amazing,” considering how long the process took, and the amount of paperwork it involved that was reduced to just a few pages at the end of that process. Developer Don Sonntag commended the Council for establishing the policy, which he said might be used in the near future to develop a property subdivision for rental and for-sale homes that would come in two phases, and result in the construction of some 40 homes. The homes that would be offered for rent, would be priced at about $750 per month.

The project, if it comes to fruition,  would cost anywhere from $1.4-to $2-million, and would be built in the vicitinity of East 22nd Street, near the Sundance Apartments. In order for the project to be viable, Sonntag said he would likely need a TIF of up to $250,000. He said there are a lot of hoops to go through before he approaches the City with a TIF request, however.

RMAC Baseball: CMU claims tournament title, Kaiser named MVP

By  |

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. It was a familiar match-up for the CMU Mavericks, who went 3-2 against CSU-Pueblo during the regular season. The Mavs were in this same spot one year ago at Suplizio Field against this very same team, competing for the RMAC tournament title. Only this time, they were hoping to be on the right side of the scoreboard.

Like most of their games this season, they wasted no time getting on the board. A double play that scored a run and an RBI single from Derek Garcia put the Mavs up 2-0 after the first inning.

Nate Robertson and Jordan Liester added RBI singles later on in the contest, and paired with superb pitching from starter Kyle Davis and Tyler Dunnington out of the bullpen, the Mavs held off the Thunderwolves by a final of 4-2.

It's their 11th all-time conference tournament championship. They earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney, though that was never in doubt. Saturday's win should also solidify the Mavs as a regional host for the tournament which begins Thursday.

The win also improved them to 27-0 at Suplizio Field this season, and 40-10 overall, which is the seventh time in the last eleven years they've reached 40 wins.

CMU now awaits their first round match-up, which will be decided by the selection committee at 8:00 PM Sunday.

CMU players on the RMAC All Tournament Team:
RF Austin Kaiser (MVP)
SS Nate Robertson
C Austin Wallingford
P Kyle Davis
P Matt Delay

A son's personal exploration of one of the most influential--and troubled--artistic couples of the twentieth century

Stephen Spender's life, with all its secrets, successes, and contradictions, is a vivid prism through which to view the twentieth century. He befriended Auden and Isherwood while at Oxford, and together the three had wildly transgressive adventures in Europe and were early vocal critics of Hitler and the rise of fascism in their celebrated writings. Like his friends, Spender was drawn to other men, yet he eventually married Natasha, a world-renowned concert pianist, and started a family.

In the midst of a heady world of poetry and liberal politics, gay love affairs and tense silences, Matthew Spender grew up the child of two brilliant artists. Taught how to use adjectives by Uncle Auden and raised among the British cultural elite, Matthew led what might have been a charmed existence were it not for the tensions in his own household. His father, always susceptible to the allure of young men, was unable to stop himself, or reveal his secret, for the sake of his family; and his mother's suffering led her to infatuations of her own. A House in St John's Woods: In Search of My Parents is a son's attempt to reconstruct a portrait of his magnetic father and unconventional family out of the ambiguous experiences of his childhood.

Drawing on unpublished letters and diaries, family keepsakes and youthful memories, Matthew Spender tells the story of a singular family in the midst of its own cold war, as the artistic world of mid-century London circled around them.

The unholy alliance of the Political Right and the Religious Right threatens to destroy the America we love. It also threatens to generate a popular aversion to God and religion by identifying religious values with a pro-war, pro-business, pro-rich, anti-science, and anti-environmental stance. Over the past few decades, the Republicans have achieved political dominance by forging a union with the Religious Right. This marriage has provided a sanctimonious veneer for policies that have helped the rich get richer while ignoring the needs of the middle class and the poor, dismantling environmental and civil liberties protections, and seeking global domination. The Right champions the materialism and ruthless selfishness promoted by unrestrained capitalism and then laments the moral crises of family instability and loneliness experienced by people who bring these commercial values into their homes and personal lives. In response, the Religious Right offers insular communities for the faithful and a culture that blames liberals, activist judges, homosexuals, independent women, and all secular people for the moral and spiritual emptiness so many Americans experience. Yet, however distorted both the Right's analysis and its solutions to America's spiritual crisis may be, it wins allegiance by addressing the human hunger for a life with some higher purpose. The Left, by contrast, remains largely tone-deaf to the spiritual needs of the American people. It is the yearning for meaning in life, not just the desire for money or power, that lies at the core of American politics. Addressing the central mystery of contemporary politics -- why so many Americans vote against their own economic interests -- The Left Hand of God provides an invaluable, timely, and blunt critique of the current state of faith in government. Lerner challenges the Left to give up its deeply held fear of religion and to distinguish between a domination-oriented, Right-Hand-of-God tradition and a more compassionate and hope-oriented Left-Hand-of-God worldview. Further, Lerner describes the ways that Democrats have misunderstood and alienated significant parts of their potential constituency. To succeed again, Lerner argues, the Democratic Party must rethink its relationship to God, champion a progressive spiritual vision, reject the old bottom line that promotes the globalization of selfishness, and deal head-on with the very real spiritual crisis that many Americans experience every day. Lerner presents a vision that incorporates and then goes far beyond contemporary liberal and progressive politics. He argues for a new bottom line in our economy, schools, and government. This is a fundamentally fresh approach, one that takes spiritual needs seriously in our economic and political lives. Presenting an eight-point progressive spiritual covenant with America, Lerner provides a blueprint for how the Democratic Party can effectively challenge the Right and position itself to win the White House and Congress. By appealing to religious, secular, and spiritual but not necessarily religious people, The Left Hand of God blazes a trail that could change our world and reclaim America from the Religious Right.

Man stabbed, robbed, dumped in ditch

Man stabbed, robbed, dumped in ditch

GERBER, Calif. - Tehama County Sheriff's officials said a Washington man who was visiting Corning was attacked by three men Saturday night.

Officials said 22-year-old Ignacio Flores Geron had been in Corning for three days looking for work. They said Geron was in a park in Corning where the three unknown suspects approached him.

Geron said the men grabbed him, put him in a car and robbed him. Then the suspects stabbed him in his back, abdomen and buttocks. Officials said the men then dropped Geron in a ditch off of Rawson Road and Gyle Road in Gerber.

The Tehama County Sheriff's Office has no description of the suspects and said they are looking for help from the public.

"We don't know who they are, we don't have any good descriptions yet at this point," said Lieutenant Yvette Borden. "I think we have to go back to the old adage, stranger danger, don't flash your money and if you're talking to people you don't know because you don't know if they might be using that as an opportunity to see what you have and try to take advantage of you."

Geron was taken to a local hospital for emergency surgery. The suspects are believed to be around 20 to 25 years old. If you know anything about this incident contact the Tehama County Sheriff's Office.

    After an updrate from wordpress 3.1.1 to 3.3.1 the Featured Image Slideshow will not load. The loading icon stays on screen.

    Any suggestions to solve this?

    Hi jurjan,

    You also need to update the Habitat theme to the most recent version. You can download the updates free by re-downloading the theme from Themeforest.

    I seem to the same issues after the WordPress installation. I downloaded the latest update for the Habitat theme, too! Still, my feature images are not showing up. In fact, I get a “Script Error Message Pop-Up” every time I open up my site. I really don’t know what to do!

    Update! I did some debugging and deactivated all plug-ins and changed the main theme to Twenty Eleven to see if the problem still exists. Everything in that Twenty Eleven theme works fine. My idea is that it must be the Habitat template with a jQuery or other javascript conflict causing the issue.

    Yes I have Habitat v. 1.1.1 and WP v. 3.3.2

    Any advice on what may be the problems here?

    1)Please try to upload all theme files and wordpress files again. Sometimes one or more files are corrupt after the ftp transfer and you need to upload them a second time.

    2) If this doesn’t help deactivate ALL other plugins to make sure that it’s a theme js code flaw which causes the jquery error.
