Top 10 Instagrammable Film Locations on 'Crazy Rich Asians' in Singapore
BY Aileen Adalid / 5 Comments
There are a lot of films that are associated with a certain destinations — when it comes to Singapore, though there have been many films about it before, the Hollywood blockbuster 'Crazy Rich Asians' which hit the theatres in the past months has been quite the craze as of late!
Based on the 2013 novel by Kevin Kwan, the movie is about a number of insanely rich Chinese Singaporeans but focusing more so on a couple named as Rachel and Nick. Basically, the latter hails from an extremely wealthy family and the former did not know anything about it until they both visit Singapore for a wedding. This whole storyline has been a hit for a lot of people so if you have the burning desire to see the places that were shot in the movie, I hope this guide can be of help to you.
After all, you don't have to be crazy, rich or Asian to visit the following Instagrammable film locations on 'Crazy Rich Asians'!
Activities to do around Singapore?
Check out these 'top things to do in Singapore' for fun activities and tours!
#1 Changi Airport

Right from the moment that you land in Singapore, you'll be greeted by the 'World's Best Airport': Changi. Rachel's reaction in the movie is much like any other visitor who has set foot in its expanse; after all, the airport can be a whole destination in itself!
With sprawling indoor gardens, gazillions of shops + restaurants, an infinity pool, and a FREE movie theatre among MANY others, you can surely spend a day here and not get bored of it. If you want a detailed guide for this, come check out my 'Singapore Layover' post.
#2 Gardens by the Bay
This futuristic garden served as the location for the ostentatious wedding after-party of Collin and Araminta in the 'Crazy Rich Asians' movie. With more than 500,000 plants and about 18 Avatar-like Supertrees, this could surely take anyone's breath away! It has its charm in the day but if you want to escape the heat and see the Supertrees in all its glory, it's best to come after the sun sets.
To book entrance tickets for this as a part of your Singapore layover, go here. Take note that there are a LOT of attractions here but notable of which are the following…
#3 Merlion Park
Located at One Fullerton, you will find here the iconic Merlion, a mythical creature with a lion's head and the body of fish — a widely used mascot of Singapore. Rightly so, this location has been extensively shown in the 'Crazy Rich Asians' movie.
In fact, when Nick asked Rachel an important question, the scene was filmed in this area. (To be precise, they were on the picturesque stone steps that's beside the nearby Esplanade Park.)
#4 Newton Food Centre
Singaporeans are passionate about food and you will find some of the best delicacies in its hawker centres!
NOTE: A 'hawker centre' is typically an open-air complex that houses a variety of stalls that sell inexpensive local food.
In the 'Crazy Rich Asians' movie, they featured the well-publicized Newton Food Centre which has a medley of Asian cuisines that the city is known for. Some of the stalls that you need to check out are: Kee Fried Oyster Omelette (for the oyster omelette), Soon Wah Fishball Kway Teow Mee (for fishball noodles) and Chong Pang Huat (for chicken wings).
Other food centres that you can check out would be Lau Pa Sat, Old Airport Road, Chinatown Food Street and Maxwell Road.
#5 Chijmes

Formerly a convent and a school, this 19th century structure now houses an array of bars and restaurants.
There is also a function room or event space in the property in which Collin and Araminta's glamorous wedding was filmed for the movie. Today, it still remains to be a popular spot for wedding photoshoots and celebrations especially with its white architecture.
TIP: While you're here, don't forget to drop by Whitegrass for its contemporary menu selections.
#6 Sentosa Island
This served as Collin's bachelor party venue for 'Crazy Rich Asians' — in reality, this serves more like a getaway for locals given that its filled with fun and recreation!
Here are just some of the many things you can do here…
#7 Marina Bay Sands
This is an iconic resort complex that faces Marina Bay in Singapore and it features The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands mall, a museum, two large theatres, restaurants, Crystal Pavillions, art-science exhibits, casinos and so much more!
It's no wonder that this landmark has been featured for several times in the movie, 'Crazy Rich Asians' — it's absolutely Instagram-worthy! In fact, one of the most sought-after locations will be the building's infinity pool (where where Nick and Rachel's after-party was held, complete with some synchronised swimming extravaganza).
#8 Humpback
This is the place where Rachel and her best friend had a conversation about the former's 'mother-in-law', and you will love not only the seafood fare from this restaurant (which is called as Humpback) but also the picturesque street that it is on which is called as Bukit Pasoh Road.
Found within Chinatown, this Instagrammable stretch is lined with beautiful Peranakan shophouses that have been preserved over time. While you're here, you can also drop by 'The Reading Room' which is just across the road (a coffee house by day and a bar by night).
#9 Raffles Singapore
As you will see on the 'Crazy Rich Asians' movie, Nick and Rachel were checked in to this luxurious accommodation which serves as a reminder of Singapore's past colonial heritage.
If you don't have the budget to shell out $10,000 (yikes!) for a night at its Presidential Suite (once the hotel opens again in 2019), then surely a visit to its lush lobby and bar can suffice. Otherwise, if you want a hotel that's more affordable yet not skimping on comfort and style, check by Citadines Mount Sophia!
#10 Ann Siang Hill

This is the beautiful street that Eleanor from the 'Crazy Rich Asians' was passing through while she was on her way to meet Rachel at a mahjong parlor.
As a visitor, I'm sure you will love its scenic street that's filled with refurbished bars, shophouses and restaurants. If you've got the time, don't forget to check out the underground bar called as 'Operation Dagger'.
I hope this list will inspire you to have your own 'Crazy Rich Asians' inspired tour in Singapore! Let me know how it goes for you!
How about you?
Thanks for providing the actual filming locations. I've been wanting to visit Singapore since 2016. I really need to start planning a trip there.Reply
Awesome! Hope you get to visit soon!Reply
Absolutely loved this. Singapore was always on my "I'll see it some day" list and never got round to but the movie boosted it up to my top 5 places to see! Thanks for the post!! when I get there i'll definitely check all these places out.Reply
I'm happy to hear this! Hope you get to visit soon!Reply
I missed seeing the premiere of this movie. So sad, but I will eventually. Even more so, I'd love to visit Merlion Park. The history behind the Singapore mascot is very fascinating.Reply

Ryan Murphy's TV empire continues to grow—the Glee and American Horror Story creator is heading back to Fox with a new drama, 9-1-1. Fox announced the latest block in their partnership with Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who were also behind the now-defunct Scream Queens, a while back. But at the TCA summer press tour today, the broadcast network shared some casting news—Peter Krause has joined Angela Bassett in the 9-1-1 cast. There's no word on what roles either acclaimed actor will be playing, but Fox CEO Dana Walden did tease that the new series' setup will echo that of Nip/Tuck: Instead of kicking off by wondering "what don't you like about yourself?," every episode will ask "What's your emergency?" We suppose that could still turn into a discussion of one's looks or self-esteem, but 9-1-1 will probably focus on more pressing concerns.
Given Murphy's obvious knack for producing, it's entirely possible 9-1-1 could become the flagship series for a whole franchise of first responder dramas. Sure, that's more Dick Wolf's territory, but since he's now so caught up with depicting murders, there might be more room for expansion.

ECB may take losses in second Greek debt restructuring
July 27, 2012
European policymakers are working on "last chance" options to bring Greece's debts down and keep it in the euro zone, with the ECB and national central banks looking at taking significant losses on the value of their bond holdings, officials said.
Private creditors have already suffered big writedowns on their Greek bonds under a second bailout for Athens sealed in February, but this was not enough to put the country back on the path to solvency and a further restructuring is on the cards.
The latest aim is to reduce Greece's debts by a further 70-100 billion euros, several senior euro zone officials familiar with the discussions told Reuters, cutting its debts to a more manageable 100 percent of annual economic output.
This would require the European Central Bank and national central banks to take losses on their holdings of Greek government bonds, and could also involve national governments also accepting losses.
The favored option is for the ECB and national central banks to carry the cost, but that could mean that some banks and the ECB itself having to be recapitalized, the officials said.

Big Cat Artist
Alan M Hunt used to teach field painting and lead study trips around the world. Trips in the past have been in the pursuit of his wildlife reference have taken him to the Masai Mara in Kenya to study the wildebeest migration which Alan says was his best ever trip to Africa, and a trip to Qatar to study the Arabian horse. Commenting on his painting, Alan says, 'As a wildlife artist and conservationist, I have grave concerns for the environment and believe it needs as much support as I can possibly give, whether financially or as a spokesman. If my son doesn't get to see half the wildlife in his lifetime that I've seen, I will feel very guilty. Rather than become a famous painter / artist I would like to be remembered as someone who tried to make people aware of the need to protect the environment, wildlife and the planet'.

Iranian authorities have revised downward the casualty toll from an earthquake in northwestern Iran.
Authorities now say at least 220 are dead, half of the previous reported death toll.
Another 1,000 people are believed injured. Earlier report said 1,000 were hurt after the quake devastated a series of villages.
The rumblings of the quake that rocked Iran's Qazvin province Saturday may have exceeded 6.0 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was in the town of Bou'in Zahra, 225 kilometers west of the capital, Tehran, where the reverberations also were felt.
Majid Shalviri, head of the provincial Red Crescent Society, said that most of the deaths occurred in Qazvin province. The earthquake and several aftershocks were also reported to have hit other provinces in the north, central and western parts of the country.
Mohamed Hossien Parvinian, deputy governor of Qazvin province, told Iran's official news agency that 10 villages in the province suffered damage ranging between 50 and 100 percent.
Iranian President Mohamed Khatami sent a condolence message over state-run television and called on the Interior Ministry to cooperate with other agencies in speeding assistance to the victims.
Rescue workers have already been dispatched, but many of the affected locations are in rural and possibly hard to reach areas.
Earlier, the official news agency reported the quake measured 5.2 on the Richter scale, but the U.S. Geological Survey has reported a magnitude of 6.3
Nearly 40 years ago an earthquake struck the same area in Iran, killing more than 12,000 people and demolishing 124 villages. Iran lies on seismic fault lines where tremors are a regular occurrence.

You say yes, I say no. You say stop and I say go, go, go.
Mixed signals can be confusing, as the Beatles' refrain has it. But when the signals come from antibiotic drug combinations, cells react in surprisingly simple ways, HMS researchers have found. Even when drug pairs affect different genes in a single cell in complex ways, the cell as a whole responds in a manner that's predictable—an insight that could improve drug design.
So-called combination drug therapy is a staple for treating many infectious diseases. Doctors treating tuberculosis, for example, might prescribe one drug to break down the pathogen's protective barriers and a second to deliver the knockout punch. But identifying effective combinations for a particular disease has relied on guesswork—and the excruciatingly slow accumulation of data.
Roy Kishony, professor of systems biology at HMS, and Tobias Bollenbach, a postdoctoral fellow in his lab and now an assistant professor at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, wondered whether there was a better way to explain —and perhaps predict—why some drugs work better together while other pairings are less powerful or even counterproductive. Using a systems approach, Kishony and Bollenbach investigated how, within a living cell, gene expression responds to drug pairings.
"The possibility of predicting how cells respond to multi-drug treatments opens the door to a more rational approach for the design of new drug combinations," Kishony said.
Average Or Prioritize?
Kishony and Bollenbach measured how the single-celled bacterium E. coli responded when subjected to a combination of two drugs. The effect could be either additive, with the drugs' combined inhibitory effect equal to the sum of their individual effects, or antagonistic, in which case the drugs have a weaker effect when combined. In either case, the bacterial cell's response to one of the drugs may prove incompatible with its response to the other. For example, a specific gene in the cell may be "turned off" by drug A but "turned on" by drug B. So how do cells as a whole respond, the researchers wondered, when A says stop and B says go?
In a study published in the May 20 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, Kishony and Bollenbach report that bacterial cells respond in surprisingly simple ways, which can be reasonably predicted by monitoring only a handful of their responses.
When drugs enter a bacterial cell's environment, the researchers found that the response can be broken down to two components: the first, comprising about 70 percent of the cell's response, involves processes resulting from the total inhibition of the cell's growth by the two drugs. In the remaining 30 percent, the cells focus on resolving conflicts that arise when paired antibiotics caused mixed genetic responses. This conflict resolution depends on the nature of the signals sent by particular drug pairs.
Kishony and Bollenbach found that bacterial cells resolve conflicting signals from drug combinations by either "averaging" or "prioritizing." For a drug pair that is additive, the cell averages the conflicting effects of the two drugs. (For example, when one drug's effect on the regulation of a gene is a four-fold increase and the other's is a two-fold decrease, their combined effect on the cell is a two-fold increase.) But for the antagonistic drug pair, the cell responds only to the stronger drug signal, ignoring the other. Particularly surprising was that, no matter the drug pairing, almost all genes within a bacterial cell were in agreement about which conflict-resolution strategy to use and which signal was strongest.
These findings demonstrate that it is possible to quickly predict bacterial responses to combined drugs, simply by measuring just a few aspects of how a cell responds to individual drugs. Thus the most effective combinations can be more easily determined.

Give the gift of tax savings this Valentine's Day
Margaret Meiklejohn
Tax Manager
13 February 2019
Roses are red, violets are blue, think about your tax and how it can help you.
Tax is not usually associated with romance. But giving generously to your beloved can be tax effective too. And the tax savings might even pay for those red roses.
Capital tax saving
Making outright gifts to your partner takes the value of these assets out of your estate for Inheritance Tax (IHT) purposes. Gifting assets into trust is another option if your affairs are complex. But don't forget that Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may be due on valuable gifts.
Income tax savings
Income tax has become much more complicated for Scottish taxpayers, with different tax rates and bands applying to different sorts of income. If one of you earns less than the other, why not gift income-generating assets to the lower earner?
Charity giving
You want to impress your loved one with your generosity, but you both already have too much stuff. Why not give cash to a charity under Gift Aid? The charity will benefit, while you can save tax and feel good too.
Finally, how about making the ultimate romantic gesture and proposing to your partner? Marriage brings tax breaks for IHT, CGT and income tax as well. There is even a special IHT exemption for wedding gifts, so you can benefit even if you're not marrying this time round.
Johnston Carmichael can't advise you on affairs of the heart, but we love giving tax advice!

The life of a wedding planner may be thought of as glamorous but we all know that it can be full of stress. Between managing the 1 million things that running a business requires and managing the 1 million more things that happen during the planning process, it can be a challenge to also take on the emotional work of guiding a couple through it all. And, every once in a while, things get even more interesting – like when you take on planning a family member's wedding.
As a wedding planner or professional in the industry, it is almost inevitable that you are going to be asked to work on either a family member's or very close friend's wedding. (You are, after all, the best person they know for the job!) And, as excited and willing as you may be to take on the task, navigating through a personal relationship in the professional sphere can throw you for a loop that you never saw coming.
Over the past couple of years, I have personally been involved in planning my mother-in-law's, my brother-in-law's, and my own brother's weddings. And, to be completely honest, there was more than one moment during the planning process that I asked myself, "Why did I sign up for this?"
I asked myself that question not because I didn't want to be involved in planning their wedding but, rather, that I hadn't anticipated the unique challenges that I would face. It is always difficult to mix your personal and professional life and I guess I wasn't ready to field the types of questions and pressure you get from every couple you work with (you know, the ones that make you audibly sigh) from people that I assumed would "know better."
So, if you find yourself saying "yes" to a family member's request to help you plan their wedding, here are my 3 tips to successfully plan (and survive) it.
They're Not Just Another Client
You can't expect that your family member is going to treat you any differently than any other client would. And, in fact, navigating through the overall planning process will probably be more stressful than with a regular client. You love your clients like they are your family but, in the end, they aren't and you can do (or not do) things in ways that might start a feud with a family member.
So, in order to successfully plan a family member's wedding, you have to recognize the emotional and personal history you have with them. Take the knowledge you have about them as a person and let it inform how you set boundaries, ground rules, and expectations. Because, while working so closely with family can be delicate, working with someone you know also means you have inside information. Use it to set yourself up for success.
You're Not A Magician
Even though you are extremely well connected and might have a few favors to call in, this might not be the wedding you want to use those cards on. Make it clear to your family member that you can't fill a ballroom with flowers for $1,000 or magically make that booked venue become available.
Take the time to walk them through a realistic budget and let them know what strings you are willing to pull right out of the gate. Because, if you don't have this conversation, you might find yourself under pressure to make the impossible happen – and force your vendor friends to save you. Do everyone a favor and set realistic expectations.
Don't Forget To Take It All In
But, regardless of the unique challenges of planning a family member's wedding, don't forget to enjoy the ride. They could have trusted someone else with helping them plan one of the biggest days of their life but they didn't. They asked you. And, that's an honor. So, remember to recognize the fact that you are helping someone you love dearly plan one of the most exciting days of their life! And hey, at least it gets you out of a Crate and Barrel run for a gift!

I wanted to just tell you that I have not turned into a dating lush into whipping! LOL. All the dating posts that I write are for a company and they then share them across their readers, they seem to like what I have to say and remunerate me accordingly but all the views are mine as you know, I always write the truth.
I have just changed my hosting provider as Siteground put the cost up for a year to £128 so no way was I paying that. I then had a very nice Twitter private message from Lee asking me if I would like details of their company called Nodestack. I then looked at reviews which were all really good so I asked for details and prices. I apparently have 6GB of data on my blog so I went for 10GB as I think if I get close to that then I can delete some of my very old posts that I wrote when my blog started. They did all the changeover and gave me a month free then a good price but the best bit is that it stays at that price so no more changing and deal hunting. I was so pleased with everything so I am now going to recommend them so if you would like any details click here and they will help you, or you can find the link down the site of my website.
I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have one less thing to research and compare prices about every year. I must admit I do it with all insurances as I really hate being taken advantage of so I will always do a compare the prices and go with the best deal. It also means that if I do recommend a company then you know they are good.
Talking about prices I had my yearly usage from BULB who I get my electric and gas from, they just get better and better as I am now down to £17 a month for both, they predict next year I will use about £500 worth of gas and electric. I am so pleased and I am still almost £200 in credit. If you would like to try them and receive £50 free credit straight away then click here, I do receive the credit as well so it's a win win for both of us.
Hopefully my blog is sorted now for the next year then all I have to do is renew my domain name next April. All I have to do now is try and sort out my Facebook as I am still blocked from using it, for no reason now they just need to change a setting so I can log in and change my profile to a page. I have tried everything so am really stuck now, there appears to be no way of actually contacting Facebook apart from the help centre, where I have left so many messages now under every heading! My views have gone down over half in the last six weeks which is really upsetting when it has taken me years to build up my readers.
That's about all my news for this week, I hope yours is going well

After our Meatball Classic we had dozens and dozens of meatballs left. We gorged ourselves on the evening of the Classic, but quickly realized that one can only eat so many meatballs in one sitting. In the evenings to follow I had to start getting creative with the meatball preparations in order to get them all eaten!
Here is one way I was able to use up some of the leftover meatballs: diced and placed atop baked potatoes.
We also had in the house that night some leftover Chicken and Stuffing Casserole ("One-Dish Chicken Bake" recipe from KraftRecipes.com.) Some of the baked potatoes were topped with this yummy casserole.
For both varieties I added a generous helping of shredded cheese: Mexican blend for the meatball-topped potatoes and mozzarella for the casserole-topped potatoes. A few minutes under the broiler, and they made for a very tasty dinner!
Leftovers on Baked Potatoes
- Scrub 3-5 russet potatoes until clean. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Place in the microwave with ends pointed to the center. Microwave for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. (For 6-8 potatoes add about 3 minutes to the cooking time.)
- Slice the baked potatoes in half and place halves on a foil-lined baking sheet. Preheat the broiler.
- Warm the leftover meatballs, chicken casserole, or leftovers of your choice in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove.
- Spoon the leftovers on top of the baked potato halves. Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the tops.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Solar power for schools
Your Energy Sussex is helping local schools to reduce their energy bills and cut their carbon emissions by fitting solar panels that generate clean electricity.
The schools pay a significantly reduced price for the electricity generated by the solar panels compared to the price they would usually pay for grid electricity. Most schools use around 75% of the electricity they generate on site and, on average, will save an estimated £1,000 per year off their energy bills.
Your Energy Sussex pays the cost of installing the solar panels and owns and maintains the systems. This means that the schools have nothing to pay up-front.
A rolling solar installation programme will have completed more than 70 schools in 2019. Your Energy Sussex is also exploring the use of on-site batteries at schools to store surplus clean electricity and feed it into the grid when it is needed.

In performance: NSO and Yo-Yo Ma
In Wednesday's/Thursday's Washington Post (different editions, abridged): NSO offers a gala pleasingly out of the ordinary, by Anne Midgette.
Imagine a standard-issue bakery cake, embellished with thick white frosting, and you have your typical orchestral gala: a sugary-sweet confection. Now imagine slicing into that cake and finding, instead of your typical white crumb glued together with standard-issue icing, the creation of a fine French pastry chef, and you have the National Symphony Orchestra's final concert of the season, featuring Yo-Yo Ma, on Tuesday night. It was still fun to eat, but it was a lot more substantial and nuanced than such things usually are.
(read complete review after the jump)
Your standard gala -- like, for instance, the one that opened the orchestra's 2009-10 season last September -- features lots of short fun pieces from the lighter side of the repertory: opera overtures and interludes, sections of tone poems. Tuesday's gala chose Ravel to represent the idea of lightness and fun. But while Ravel wrote music that was sometimes on a small scale and is often beloved with audiences ("Bolero" comes to mind), he is not a cheap thrill: his music is dazzlingly inventive. Tuesday's all-Ravel first half, with "Alborada del gracioso," the suite from "Ma mère l'oye" (Mother Goose), and the "Rapsodie espagnole," offered more thoughts and ideas and timbres in a short span of time than many entire programs.
Your standard gala also offers a star soloist, and Tuesday night obligingly offered Yo-Yo Ma, one of the most beloved figures in the classical music world (the roar of excitement that rose from the audience at his entrance, after the intermission, was touching). But while Ma welcomes the affection, he doesn't trade on it. He could have played a short virtuosic showcase and abundantly filled the bill. Instead, he performed "Azul," effectively a concerto in which the cello shares solo honors with two percussionists and a hyperaccordion (a regular accordion with electronic special effects), which Osvaldo Golijov wrote for him in 2006 and revised extensively a year later. It was long, thoughtful, different, and real: anything but an easy star showpiece.
Galas aren't always led by big-name conductors. Jeffrey Kahane, the conductor/pianist, is a familiar quantity in the music world; he offered a lot of energy, a clear beat, and an impressive ability to keep the orchestra together coupled with an ability to get them to play very loud. He was great at rhythm, marshalling downright funkiness in some of the Spanish dances of the "Rapsodie espagnole," though with a hint of instability that was now exhilarating, keeping things driving forward, and now dislocating, as if the music were about to fall apart. He was less adept at finding the magic otherworldliness between the notes, though the harps plunged into marvelously goopy glissandos at every opportunity, birds twittered and the bassoon blatted out the lines of Beauty's Beast in the fairy-tales of "Mother Goose," this was Ravel scrubbed clean.
I must confess to a personal block about Golijov. I always want to connect with his music more than I do. That there is much to connect with I don't doubt; at concert after concert, friends and colleagues are in raptures about how much they like it. Golijov brings hipness to classical music, in terms that both classical and non-classical fans can connect with. His music cuts through boundaries as if slicing through, well, frosting: "Azul" fuses echoes of Couperin with the hiss of brushes striking drumheads, the rattles and whines of a bevy of colorful percussion instruments (Cyro Baptista and Jamey Haddad), and the drone of the hyperaccordion (an accordion with electronic enhancement, here played by the man who designed it, Michael Ward-Bergeman). It's got a whole jungle full of birdsong, with swishing wave-like noises that take the whole thing perilously close to New Age; it's got a cadenza that sounds like an ecstatic jam session between the four soloists. Yet for all its eclecticism it builds in a single arc -- its core the long second movement, propelled upward by quasi-Minimalist rhythmic repetitions -- until the exuberant jam session is capped by the churchly sobriety of the orchestral idiom, returning as if to remind everyone of where they are, though more focusing the mood than interrupting it. I can see what he's doing; I can even appreciate it. I just don't find myself responding; it's like watching a be-in and not quite feeling the love.
It's a strong and genuine piece, though, and the audience knew it. The final difference from the standard-issue gala was the genuine, shouting excitement of the standing ovations.

I fully agree with the sentiment in the second-to-last paragraph. I am a huge fan of Yo Yo Ma, he inspired me to pick up the cello in the 5th grade. I have not seen a live performance of his in 10 years so my excitement and expectations were enormously high. With that said, I simply did not feel it last night. Perhaps I should have done more research on the performance before hand, and for that my disappointment is mostly my own fault. To expand Ms. Midgette's culinary motif, I felt a performance like last night was like taking the finest wine out of the cellar to make a sangria. To me, talent like Yo Yo Ma's is to be respected and enjoyed alone, only to be complimented not overshadowed. At times during Mr. Ma's performance, you could not even hear him over the cacophony of "nature" sounds and twirling rattles; the visual distraction as intense as the aural. Here's hoping to next year.

Dry Diggings is an El Dorado Hills-based distillery that digs deep into California history for Gold Rush twists on traditional spirits like whiskey, vodka, gin, brandy, and bourbon. Travel back in time to the mother lode-inspired tasting room with wood-paneled walls from the 1860s, a four-by-five-foot photo of Placerville's Main Street in 1866, a street-scene room leading to the saloon-styled bar, and the Victorian-parloresque area filled with bottled spirits all made with locally sourced ingredients.
Owners Cris Steller and Gordon Helm have created a farm-to-glass spirits experience and don't rely on terms such as craft or small batch or how many times they distill their vodka. With steam-powered pot stills that separate the "heart" of the distillation run, the most flavorful and drinkable components of a spirit run, from the "head" and "tail" — the head being the harsh chemicals where your hangover begins, and the tail being bitter after effects once alcohol burns off — you'll find a clean cut not found with national distillers, which mix the heart, head, and tail in continuous stills.
Dry Diggings works with local vintners, breweries, and farms for its wine, grains, and fruit, including Bella Grace Vineyards wines in Amador County for brandy, Loomis Basin Brewing Company for whiskey and bourbon, and Barsotti Family Juice Co. apples for its Rocket vodka.
"We wish that there were more integration," Steller says. "Sacramento is the farm-to-fork capital, and it doesn't carry over to the bar. And it would be nice if local spirits got the same attention that local wine and beer get."
That's exactly what he and Helm have spearheaded.
At the distillery, aged spirits like whiskey and bourbon, in California's varying weather, come out with an idiosyncratic color and taste, depending on the charred barrel, the season, and the length of aging. The Rubicon Rye whiskey is aged in Independent Stave Company barrels for two years and then moved into Radoux's handmade, charred wine barrels for anywhere from six to 12 months, depending on the barrel's surrounding temperature conditions. The Bodie 5 Dog California white whiskey turns the traditional whiskey on its head by only hitting new American oak barrels for five minutes, but it boasts interestingly of a high-end Blanco tequila aroma, and yet it has an earthy and citrusy taste all its own.
However, opening the distillery wasn't a walk in the park. Staking out their own claim in California history, Steller and Helm discovered in the middle of construction in 2011 that distillery tasting rooms were illegal because of the state's December 1933 regulation, unchanged since Prohibition days. So Steller rounded up five distilleries to create the California Artisanal Distillers Guild in 2012. The Guild approached lawmakers, who helped pass three key pieces of legislation that nullified the archaic laws forbidding tasting rooms at distilleries. Thus, with this win, Dry Diggings' tasting room pushed onward.
Currently, as the distillery makes and replicates history from its tasting room, Dry Diggings educates visitors about why they like the tastes they do, from both the bar and on tours.
Erica Steller, Cris Steller's daughter and the distillery's bar manager and event coordinator, says "it just makes you feel like you're back in the Gold Rush and you're walking down Main Street."

After the opening race on the Muttersberg at Bludenz, Austria, a week ago, the WMRA World Cup moves on to France and the famous Grand Ballon race on Saturday (15).
For the past six years, the Montée du Grand Ballon has been one of the premier events on the World Cup circuit and this year, around 500 runners are expected on the start lines of the two events: one in Willer-sur-Thur for men and the other at Goldbach-Altenbach for women.
The men's race is 13.2km, with 1231m of elevation gain, and three Eritrean runners look like the men to watch including Azaria Teklay, winner of last year's Grand Ballon race and winner of the two overall Grand Prixes, which has been transformed into the World Cup.
His compatriots Primo Mamu, the 2012 World champion, and Debessay Tsege, are also expected to challenge strongly.
Also competing this year will be Julien Rancon, the French mountain running champion the past two years and the winner of the Grand Ballon race in 2007 and 2010.
Rancon will be joined by his team mate Benjamin Bellamy. In ther absence of British and German runners, who have their national championships this weekend, Italy's Emanuele Manzi and New Zealand's Glenn Hughes could also enter into consideration for a place on the podium.
Italy's Valentina Belotti, the winner of the two last Montée du Grand Ballon races and third last Sunday at Bludenz, and France's Helene Froehlich look like the favourites in the women's 8.4km race which has an elevation of 822m.

10 Gadgets to Keep Mobile Pros Productive on Road or in Office
10 Gadgets to Keep Mobile Pros Productive on Road or in Office
by Wayne Rash
Mobile Device Car Charger Follows the Rules
The world is full of cheap car chargers that may or may not provide electricity to your mobile devices. When they work right, you can keep your phone and tablet charged while you're on the road. If you're lucky, they can do it quickly. If you're really lucky, the charger can also keep from frying your phone. The Choetech Four Port USB Car Charger includes circuitry that is designed to charge your device according to the manufacturer's specifications, and it has a Quick Charge 2.0 port for devices that can handle that.
Going Solar When You Are Literally 'in the Field'
Depending on your line of work, it's not that unusual to find yourself not only working in the field, but literally being in the field while you're working. That adds a layer of complexity to keeping your devices charged because you may not have a car handy to use a car charger with. One solution is a solar charger, but sometimes, these can be unwieldy. Choetech, the same people who make that smart USB car charger also make a solar charger that uses the same smart auto-detection feature to keep your gear charged without frying it. The good news is that the Choetech Folding Solar Charger comes with a carrying case, which makes it so you can actually take it with you.
Battery Pack Serves as Impeccable Power Source
There are lots of small batteries that promise to give your smartphone a quick charge when you're out of the office. But most of them fall short because they don't pack the power to provide more than a partial charge. That's not so with the Impecca PEB10200, which packs an impressive 10,200mAh worth of charge in a case that's about the size of a BlackBerry Z30. This makes it small enough to fit into your pocket, but powerful enough to charge your phone, your tablet and probably a couple of other items. It will even charge two items at the same time.
GoPayment Keeps the Cash Flowing on the Road
While I was working on this project, the folks at Verizon Wireless let me know that they're now offering Intuit's GoPayment credit card reader so that you can collect credit card payments while you're out of the office. This device connects to the audio jack on Android, iOS and BlackBerry 10 devices when you want to log into Intuit's financial services. For businesses ranging from farmers' markets to rental agencies, this is a nearly seamless way to work.
Getting Actual Work Done With Your iPad
No doubt, there are people who can touch-type 80 words a minute on an iPad. But mere mortals could use some help if they need to type lengthy documents on their tablets. This is why they make Bluetooth keyboards for iPads and other tablets—so that you can be productive as well as mobile. When Impecca sent me that massive battery, they also sent along a Bluetooth keyboard that's designed to boost the productivity of the more tangle-fingered mobile device users out there. The keyboard is even made out of bamboo, so that it is light enough and thin enough to fit into a briefcase.
Highly Portable Wireless Scanner Works Well on the Road
By now, you've certainly seen those people on crime dramas taking photos of documents with their SLRs for analysis by those magical people in the crime lab who can also get DNA tests results in 15 minutes. But in reality, turning a document into an image works best with a scanner. When the folks at Verizon Wireless told me about the IonAudio wireless scanner, it sounded like something that would be useful to business professionals. In fact, anyone, from insurance agents to lawyers, can use a small, lightweight portable scanner that works without wires, and IonAudio's model seems to be a good one.
Nuguard KX Phone Case Provides Military-Grade Protection
We all know the worry that you have when you're out of the office that something bad will befall your smartphone, costing you money and also keeping you from getting your work done. Obviously, one way to prevent a fatal drop, say in the airport concourse between passport control and customs, is by using a protective case. One example is the Nuguard KX case from NewerTech. The company says it meets a variety of military specifications, including MIL-STD-8100 US. This probably suits most users' needs.
Burg 12 Smartwatch Tells Time and Much More
Of course, you can use your standard old analog wristwatch to tell you what time it is, but why waste that valuable wrist real estate just telling time? Now that smartwatches have read the market, it's all about having your life on your wrist as well as on your phone. The Burg 12 Smartwatch does about everything that you've heard that these devices do. But the Burg model adds more features. Where most smartwatches link to your phone with Bluetooth and an app, the Burg 12 doesn't need that. Deep inside the Burg is a slot for a SIM card and a micro-SD card. Plug in the SIM, and the watch becomes a phone. It makes calls using a GSM network, can send text messages and uses data just like your phone. But it will also link to your Android or iOS device with Bluetooth. As you'd probably expect, the watch is fairly bulky, and the screen is about 1 inch in size. You'll need the stylus that's hidden...
Low-Power Desk Lamp Brightens Those Gloomy Offices
It's bad enough to get back to your office and then find yourself having to squint at the stuff on your desk as you work. Sure, that flickering fluorescent light in the ceiling is supposed to be adequate, but somehow, it's never enough. But a good desk lamp can make the job seem easier and the load lighter. NewerTech's NuGreen LED desk lamp provides plenty of light while keeping things cool because its uses less than 4 Watts of electricity.
iCoffee for When You Need to Recharge With Caffeine
There are few things in this world more critical to success than caffeine, at least for those of us in journalism. Coffee keeps us going; it provides the push to the end of the day when the words on the page start to run together. Unfortunately, whoever the other person in the office is that's supposed to make the coffee never does it, so the puddle in the bottom of the pot eventually looks and tastes like hazardous waste. Single-cup brewers could be a big help if only they made good coffee. So when the people at iCoffee sent along a machine that's supposed to brew K-Cups in such a way that the resulting brew tastes good, I was eager to try it. The good news is, it works, and it does so well enough to sustain life. Oh, and the coffee tastes a lot better than the wan liquid from most other brewers.

WASHINGTON (CBS DC) — A growing trend emerged from a comprehensive 2010 study of worldwide religions: roughly one-in-six (1.1 billion, 16 percent) of the world's population claims no religious affiliation.
This makes them the third-largest group worldwide, behind Christians who number nearly 2.2 billion (32 percent) and Muslims at 1.6 billion (23 percent). Their size is relative to those of Catholic faith.
The research is from a demographic study published on Dec. 18 of more than 230 countries and territories by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life. The study is based on analysis of more than 2,500 censuses, surveys and population registers across the globe.
And those who identify with religious practices still make up the vast majority of the world's population.
The study shows that the religiously-affiliated make up 84 percent of earth's population, with 5.8 billion of the world's 6.9 billion people associating themselves with a religion in 2010.
Following Christians and Muslims in size, there are nearly 1 billion Hindus (15 percent), almost 500 million Buddhists (7 percent) and 14 million Jews (0.2 percent). Additionally, more than 400 million people (6 percent) practice various folk or traditional religions, including African traditional religions, Chinese folk religions, Native American religions and Australian aboriginal religions.
But the religiously-unaffiliated are a rapidly growing group.
The religiously unaffiliated includes atheists, agnostics and others who do not identify with any particular religion in surveys. However, many of the religiously unaffiliated have some religious beliefs. For example, belief in God or a higher power is shared by 7 percent of Chinese unaffiliated adults, 30 percent of French unaffiliated adults and 68 percent of unaffiliated U.S. adults.
The religiously unaffiliated are heavily concentrated in Asia and the Pacific, where more than three-quarters (76 percent) of the world's unaffiliated population resides.
There are six countries where the religiously unaffiliated compose a majority of the population: the Czech Republic (76 percent are religiously unaffiliated), North Korea (71 percent), Estonia (60 percent), Japan (57 percent), Hong Kong (56 percent) and China (52 percent).
This report estimates that 16.4 percent of the total U.S. population (adults and children) was unaffiliated as of 2010.
But a 2012 survey shows that number has increased to 19.6 percent of adult Americans reporting they are non-religious. The recent study also showed that one-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under the age of 30 – are religiously unaffiliated — the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling.

Stone Bridge High School drama teacher and director, Glen Hochkeppel, can only beam with pride when asked about the cast of the school's production of "Seussical the Musical."
"I am so pleased, this was just so much fun," he said. "I am tremendously impressed with what the students have done. There has just been such an excitement around this show."
Hochkeppel said that the excitement surrounding the show hit a high point during the Saturday, May 6, matinee and never diminished.
"Their matinee was flawless," he said. "It was the first time everything went perfectly. By that Saturday night, I think everyone felt that we had a great show here and had great confidence in their ability."
Hochkeppel and his students were right; they did have a great show, a fact that has been proven by their monumental achievement. This year Stone Bridge High School's "Seussical the Musical" was nominated for 15 National Capitol Area Cappies.
The Cappies, or Critics and Awards Program for High School Theater, was started in 1999 by Bill Strauss, founder of the Capitol Steps, as a way to celebrate positive achievements in local high schools.
"It really is a celebration of high-school theater," Strauss said. "It is a great ending to a great year of shows."
Since its inception, the Cappies have spread across the country with programs in California, Texas, Missouri and Florida. Stone Bridge is currently the only Loudoun County high school that participates in the Cappies.
Besides giving high-school productions the chance to be honored, the Cappies also encourages students to experience other high schools' productions through its critics program.
Each participating school has student critics who travel around Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., to review other high-school plays and musicals. Those students who have reviewed more than five shows become eligible to vote for the awards. This year 305 high-school students voted for the 2006 nominees.
"[Voting] is a tightly proctored system," Strauss said. "Students can't vote for any categories where they personally are on the ballot and we have software that determines the outcome. There is nothing subjective; the chips fall where they may."
STONE BRIDGE'S 15 nominations is a record-breaking number, with no one school ever receiving as many nominations for a single show.
"It is truly a tremendous achievement," Strauss said. "We have typically had schools that had more than 10, but this is the highest."
For Hochkeppel and his cast, realization of the significance of their nominations was slow in coming.
"When I saw category after category with Stone Bridge's name on it, I was blown away," Hochkeppel said. "It was a wonderful little moment. It was just recently that I realized that it was the most [nominations] ever."
The cast was very excited, Hochkeppel said. He would see cast members hanging around in the hall outside the drama room, looking at the list of nominations over and over.
"They were constantly asking me questions about what it meant," Hochkeppel said. "They knew there were a million little details to work out."
Of its nominations, six are for behind-the-scenes work, including lighting, stage crew and choreography.
"Schools are only eligible for the technical awards if all the participants are students," Strauss said. "You typically have 30-40 schools eligible in these categories, so a nomination is a great accomplishment."
In addition to its technical nominations, Stone Bridge received many onstage nominations, including lead actor in a musical for Cat in the Hat, Mace Sorenson; featured actor in a musical for Horton the Elephant, Garrett Breenan; female vocalist for Sour Kangaroo, Catie Brown and song.
Hochkeppel said he is extremely proud of the nomination for their song, "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think," which is the opening number of the show.
"This is truly an ensemble show," he said. "Without the power and effervescence of that ensemble, the show wouldn't have had the power. I can't wait to see them perform that opening number on stage at the Kennedy Center."
Each nominated song will be performed live at the Cappies' award show, June 11, in the concert hall of the Kennedy Center.
"I think it is going to be an amazing thing to see them all up there on the stage," Stone Bridge Principal James Person said. "It is such a nice honor, especially following last year's issues."
IN 2005, Stone Bridge was at the center of a controversy that changed the policies of high-school theater in Loudoun County.
Following the performance of a one-act play, which was written by Stone Bridge student Audrey Jess the School Board voted to ban obscenity in all school plays and would require that high-school theater take the community's beliefs into account.
Jess' one-act play portrayed a high-school football player who is a homosexual. At the end of one scene two male characters lean in to kiss before the stage went black.
The almost-kiss landed Stone Bridge, Hochkeppel and Person in the middle of the decency debate, which Hochkeppel still does not totally understand.
"There was such a storm last year," he said, "but so much of the storm seemed beside the point. Those in the department were seeing how different things were on the inside than how they were viewed from the outside."
More than a year after the drama, however, both Hochkeppel and Person are looking forward and focusing on the positive things that are happening.
"It is ironic that now we are going to be known for children's theater," Person said.
The G-rated nature of "Seussical the Musical" did have some people asking Hochkeppel whether he intentionally played it safe.
"I put in to do this show two years ago, but I couldn't get the rights," he said. "I did it because it was a great show. It was never about anything else."
WHATEVER ISSUES Stone Bridge's drama department faced in the past had no affect on the Cappies critics who reviewed the show.
Winston Churchill High School critic Ben Hoffman called the presentation "unique and beautiful," the performances "wacky and wonderful," and the overall production "captivating."
Hayfield High School critic Sara Aultman went even further and wrote, "Stone Bridge High School's delightful and energetic interpretation of 'Seussical' beckons with the tempting call of the creative and bizarre, which charms every audience member with a sense that no matter what dreams you have, 'It's Possible.'"
Indeed it was the energy of the performers on stage that seemed to captivate Stone Bridge's audience the most.
"You could see the strong connection between the audience and the performers," Strauss, who saw the second act of Stone Bridge's final performance, said. "They were really giving it their all."
Even with all of the nominations, Hochkeppel is still proudest of the show itself.
"As pleased as everyone was when the announcement was made, I think everyone knew we had something special before that," he said. "We delighted the audience and I think that is more powerful then finding out about nominations. I couldn't have been happier than I was on that Saturday night."


text: Elizabeth Taylor's Jewelry, Clothing to Go on Sale in New York 4:29 PM PST 12/12/2011 by THR staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Terry O'Neill/Getty Images "Richard learned so much about jewelry, and his taste became so refined — he loved to watch my reaction to any piece he was considering buying for me," Taylor wrote. Among the items up for grabs is a 33-carat diamond ring from her two-time husband Richard Burton that's expected to fetch as much as $3.5 million. A collection of jewelry, clothes, accessories and memorabilia once owned by Elizabeth Taylor is going on sale in New York, but anyone interested in purchasing one of the pieces should be prepared to shell out big bucks. Taylor's necklaces, earrings, pendants and rings with diamonds, sapphires and other gems will go on auction at Christie's auction house starting Tuesday. PHOTOS: Elizabeth Taylor's Many Loves Among the high-profile items is a diamond bracelet given to the National Velvet and Cleopatra actress by Michael Jackson, with an estimated sale price of $30,000 -$50,000. A 33.19-carat diamond ring given to her by Richard Burton, whom she married twice, is estimated to sell for $2.5 million-$3.5 million. Taylor, who also starred in classics such as Giant, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, died in Los Angeles in March at age 79. A jewelry lover, she had pieces from some of the most famous names in the jewelry world, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chopard, in her collection. STORY: Elizabeth Taylor Jewels Expected to Fetch $30 Million at Auction Other sales of Taylor's art, clothing and memorabilia will be held later in the week. An online-only sale of some items runs until Saturday. Part of the proceeds will go to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, which she established in 1991 to help people living with AIDS. Taylor's collection of impressionist and modern art is scheduled to go on sale at Christie's in London in February. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I just saved a scribe called "Test Scribe".
Notice the 3rd image is a morph of the 2nd.
During playback BOTH the 2nd and the 3rd image disappear. (i.e. the 3rd does not remain on the screen like it should).
Please advise.
Hi Jonathan,
I noticed you had a different issue with this scribe and I have responded to your other question.
I have slightly adjusted the size of the third elements and it now appears.
Are these custom SVG's you are using in this scribe?
If so, are you able to advise how they were made? What tools you used and what save settings you used?
Thanks, Joe

Ex-Monkton Cokeworks staff to get their day in court
Battling ex-cokework employees from South Tyneside will have their fight for justice heard in court.
A date has been set for the High Court to review the progress of about 350 former coke oven works illness claims against British Steel and British Coal.
This will include claims lodged by former workers at Monkton Cokeworks in Hebburn, which closed in 1992, after a long and high-profile people's protest against the works, which had operated since 1936.
Led by Hebburn-based former county councillor Jennie Shearan, protesters living near the plant claimed it had sparked serious medical issues among the local population, including respiratory problems.
The new legal fight involves former coke oven workers, who claim they have been left with cancers and respiratory diseases because of exposure to harmful dust and fumes, several decades ago.
Law firms Irwin Mitchell and Hugh James are working jointly on two large group litigation claims against British Steel and British Coal. A spokesman for Irwin Mitchell confirmed that ex-workers from the former Monkton Cokeworks plant are among the 350 people fighting for justice.
Formal legal action in the case was launched last October and the High Court has confirmed it will review the progress of the claims on October 16.
A landmark judgement against a Phurnacite plant in South Wales in the High Court in 2012 paved the way for the legal action in other regions, including the North East, Yorkshire, Humberside, Derbyshire and South Wales.
The majority of the affected workers were employed in a range of occupations at coke oven works, such as Monkton, between the 1940s and 1980s.
Some of these ex-employees now suffer from cancer, emphysema, asthma and chronic bronchitis.
Lawyers for the former cokework employees allege British Steel Corporation and British Coal Corporation and their subsidiaries failed to correctly assess the risk of working in coke ovens, and failed to adequately protect workers from significant dust and fumes.
Roger Maddocks, a specialist workplace illness lawyer at Irwin Mitchell, said: "Hundreds of former coke oven workers are now suffering from terrible conditions, simply because of the work they carried out on a day-to-day basis.
"Employees have a basic right to be able to go to work and return home safely at the end of the day."
In August 2012, former coke oven workers suffering from lung cancer became entitled to industrial injuries disablement benefit, subject to meeting certain employment-related criteria.

I left Heathrow on 8th January, and flew via Dubai and Sydney to Christchurch. Total flying time (actually in the air) amounts to 24 hours, however all this was soon forgotten when I stepped of the plane in Christchurch to be met by Trevor and Wendy.
We only had two days in Christchurch before we had to head south, but I certainly packed a lot in, meeting up with Rick Hills, who runs the Standard Enthusiasts Club of New Zealand, and Andrew Symonds who also lives in Christchurch and owns a 1924 Standard SLO4 Warwick. Trevor also took me around the Christchurch in his 1924 V3 Kenilworth tourer, being lent the controls adding to the excitement.
Our transport for the next 2 weeks was going to be Trevor's 1930 Standard 16 H.P., fitted with a New Zealand bodywork, known as a fabric sedan. Upon arrival in Invercargill, I discovered that amongst the 800 odd cars on the Rally, there was but 3 Standards. The other two being a 1926, model V4, 14/28 H.P. Wellesbourne tourer and a 1953 Phase 2 Vanguard.
Eleven days of Rallying passed all to quickly, and we then had to spend two days driving back up to Christchurch from Invercargill. However, our Standard hunt was not yet over, for we called on another 1924 V3 Kenilworth tourer that is under restoration, and also a 1924 SLO4 Pall Mall saloon, a very rare car that requires extensive restoration
Then back to Christchurch, and two days left before I have to head for home. That was a great shame and I just didn't want to leave! Anyway, these two days, gave me the chance to meet up with Allan and Judy Bain who are the owners of a 1928 Standard Nine, with bodywork by Gordon England. This is one of two surviving Gordon England's in the world. The other example is in this Country and is owned by David Groom. I think that I can probably boast that I am the only person to have actually ridden in both of them!
So all in all an excellent time, an experience that I shall never forget. We motored all over the South Island of New Zealand in a 76 year old Standard and covered over 2000 miles in 16 days. My very grateful thanks to Trevor and Wendy Lightfoot and all other Standard owners that I met in New Zealand for their hospitality and friendship.
New Zealand is a lovely Country. There are wide-

RTL support for Sencha Ext JS Framework
ExtJS Mirror adds RTL feature to ExtJS framework.
Some languages like Persian, Hebrew and Arabic are RTL (Right-To-Left). ExtJS does not support RTL. To support RTL, every component should layout itself from right to left.
This project, provides this feature by overriding some basic functionality in ExtJS. Here, positioning of elements are overridden so that instead of positioning elements from "Top Left", positioning is converted to "Top Right" (hence the name MIRROR).
There are more problems to solve. Some browsers like Firefox and IE, place scrollbars on left in RTL pages and some like Chrome, place scrollbars on right in either LTR or RTL. So scrollbar position have to be considered. Also, some browsers use negative values in RTL context to scroll DOM elements, while others use positive values.
Develop your application for LTR. Then add
ext-mirror.js and
resources folder to your project. After that you have to include
ext-mirror.js on your page either by putting a script tag on your page (just put it somewhere after
ext.js or
ext-debug.js) or adding
ext-mirror.js to your dependencies and using Sencha SDK to build your single script file. You have to also put a
link to
resources/css/ext-mirror.css on your page.
<link href="resources/css/ext-mirror.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" charset="utf-8">
<script src="ext-mirror.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
This way you can create a single internationalized app and use localization to have both RTL and LTR apps.
As ExtJS, this project is licensed under GPL v3.

Importance: Milla asks Jon to find out if he writes to escape his reality. In many ways she is right. Jon writes to escape his boring life and sour wife. Try as he might he can't finish writing his book or even start. It is possibly because he knows after the book he will have to be only Jon.

2016 Salomon The Villain Snowboard Review
Average Rating:
All Mountain Freestyle boards are for carving and the park
Twin - symmetrical allowing rider to ride regular or switch
Medium - responsive yet forgiving for progressing riders
Camber - the ultimate in pop and response
Retail Value: $449.99 (29% OFF)
Watch 2016 Salomon The Villain Snowboard Video Reviews:
Read the Review Transcript:
Hey, this is Ian. Just got done riding the Salomon Villain in a 155 wide. Reason wide is got 11 size boot sole but I give this board 5 out of 5 stars. This is definitely geared for your intermediate freestyle snowboarder. Has what they call Slingshot up in the tip and the tail so you've got carbon fiber stringers which pre-load the board up giving a little bit more extra pop. Royal Rubber underneath your feet which definitely helps when you're landing in the flats, off jumps or going across boxes and rails. Keeps the board damp at higher based speeds as well. Once again, 5 out of 5 stars - Salomon Villain.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, I'm Mike. I just got off the Salomon Villain. I give this board a 5 out of 5 stars. It makes all sorts of fun turns whether it's long turns, short turns, super snappy, ride switch just as well as it rides regular. It's a great board for somebody who's looking for a higher performance park board.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, my name's Riley. I just got off the Salomon Villain. I give this board 5 out of 5 stars. This is a good board for a hard charging advanced park rider. It holds an edge very well - short and long. It's just really snappy and poppy in and out of carves, switch and regular. Overall, I give this board 5 out of 5 stars.
Read the Review Transcript:
Hi, I'm Trevor. Just got off the Salomon Villain. I give this board a 4 out of 5 stars. Really solid park board. A lot of fun to ride. Just buttering it around is super, super fun. Nice, mid-level flex which is what I like out of my park boards. Just solid pretty much on everything I did. 4 out of 5.

By: @henn_griffey
What's up Henncredibly Dope family? Welcome to the first edition of my "Roll, Light, Press Play" music review. Today I am giving you a direct link inside my head as I write a first listen review of Migos' second album Culture. I'll be listening to the album on a flight to DC. I love talking about music, so this will be the first of many reviews. With that being said: sit back, relax, and enjoy.
- Culture feat. DJ Khaled
Before I press play, I hope this track isn't filled with Khaled rants and quotes. I fuck with Khaled but I don't want to hear "Another 1" fifty-lemm times. So lets begin… Of course the first voice we hear is Khaled's. I'm feeling this beat though. Very "laid back" type of feel. I must admit, I was expecting a stronger intro track. Maybe this was a throw-away from Khaled's album. Best thing is Khaled didn't dominate the track. He was able to limit his rants to only two.
2. T-Shirt
This beat is fye. "T-Shirt" is the perfect follow up to "Bad & Bougee". This definitely should've been the opening track. The intro is trash compared to this song.
"Do it for the culture, they gone bite like vultures"- Quavo #FACTS
3. Call Casting
"How many chickens? You can get 'em whichever way, Nigga trap turned Zaxbys"- Takeoff
Dope ass metaphor. Imagine a trap house that was actually selling Zaxbys. "Lemme getta Big Zak Snak and that loud pack to go please. With extra Zak sauce". LOL. Another great hook from the Migos. The pause between the hook and the verse is 🔥🔥🔥. Damn its hot AF on this plane (random thought). I'm fucking with this track though. Love the hook and the piano riffs in the background."White boys in the game, call em Andy Milonakis"- Quavo. That's throwback. What happened to that guy?
4.Bad & Bougee feat. Lil Uzi Vert
Is it too early to name this the song of the year? Definitely hook of the year. Shout out to Offsett. Jit came on the track snappin' on the first verse.
"Cooking up dope in the crock-pot"- Offsett.
I don't know 'bout you, but my mom makes oxtails in her crock-pot. Seeing anyone cook dope in a crock-pot would be funny AF.
You know you've made it when you ghostwriting for the President. Still Fuck Trump. Uzi's verse is trash. I would've preferred a verse from Takeoff instead.
5.Get Right Witcha
Big ups to the flute. Loving the beat already 10 seconds in. Ahhhh shit they done added the soul claps. Nice build up, reminds me of "Power" by Kanye. Whoever produced this track did they thing. Migos coming for the "Best Adlibs" title. MY favorite track so far. Definitely gonna be my motto at work.
"Mr. Townsel, can I use the bathroom?"
"Hold up wait…I'ma get right witcha"
6. Slippery feat. Gucci Mane
GUWOP!!!!!!! Gucci been everywhere since he was released just less than year ago. About a minute in the half into the song, and I'm not really feeling it. Got hyped bout Gucci verse for no reason. That MJ/Pippen line was cool. Overall decent track.
"Bugatti on Forgis, and nawl I'm not crippin. I buy Ferraris like Jordans, I'm Mike and yall Pippen"- Gucci Mane
7. Big On Big
Zaytoven on the keys 🔥🔥🔥. When you get the chance you gotta check out Ziggy and Gucci's Tiny Desk performance. How does one go Big On Big? Serious question. Loving the energy of the track. Another classic Zaytoven track, my best beat on the project so far. Random Thought: Its dark AF out this plane window. Hella relaxing though.
8. What The Price
Nice guitar to open the track, wonder who the producer is. The production on this project is A1. Great beat selection from the Migos. The versatility of the group shines on this track. Solid trap anthem from the group.
9. Brown Paper Bag
Another fye Zaytoven beat. Hook is aight, one of the weakest on the album. I'll say it again; Migos picked some great beats for Culture. Decent track. Not bad, but not great either. Takeoff has the best verse in my opinion.
"You talking about modern day rap, but don't know the Culture"- Quavo #Facts
10. Deadz feat. 2 Chainz
Oh shit a Migos and 2 Chainz collab! Who's gonna have the best adlibs? I got my money on 2 Chainz. WHHHHHEEEEEWWWWW this beat is 🔥🔥🔥. Now officially my favorite beat on the album. The intro before the bass drops #LITTTTTT. I hope Chainz come on the beat snapping. Damn. I was expecting more from Chainz. Track still got me hyped. Takeoff legit TOOK OFF on his verse.
11. All Ass
Lemme grab my singles before the song start. Who am I kidding? I go to the strip club to eat and drink. Not a money thrower. I'm definitely bout to hit this Dae Dae dance in the middle of the plane though. Speaking of plane…when this bih land? Not the typical "strip club anthem" but definitely a dope ass song.
12. Kelly Price feat. Travis Scott
Been hyped 'bout this track since I first heard about it. The Travis Scott/Migos connection hasn't failed me yet.
"She gone eat this molly like its rice" Is she gonna use chopsticks? 🤔🤔🤔 #QTNA
If you making a young lady sing like Kelly Price, then it needs to be the Kelly Price from "Ultralight Beams". She took off on that song. This song reminds me of "On Dis Side" from Rodeo.
"She gone suck me dry until we land"- Travis Scott #SnakesOnAPlane
Damn this a long ass song. Way too much auto-tune at the end, other than that another successful collaboration. One of Culture's best tracks.
13. Out Yo Way
Last but not least, the final track of the project. Nice beat. We all have someone who goes out of his or her way for us. Whether that person is a parent, spouse, sibling or friend, don't forget to tell them thank you.
Hope you enjoyed the first edition of Henncredibly Dope's "Roll, Light, Press Play". After the first play through, I would say the highlight of the album is the production. My biggest disappointment would be the features. With the exception of Travis Scott, all of the features left me wanting more from the artist. Don't forget to like, comment, and share the site. If there's any album, mixtape, etc.. you want to see reviewed, comment below.
