Big Bang Sells Out First Indonesia Concert in 10 Minutes
By Staff Writer | June 12, 2012 08:21 AM EDT
Big Bang's global popularity is proven once again this time in Indonesia as the online ticket sites selling the highly anticipated first world tour 'Alive Tour 2012' concert in Indonesia were shutdown in 30 seconds.

YG Entertainment today shared the concert ticket sites of Ticket.com and MyTicket both experienced a down time due to overflowing number of fans visiting the site.
Big Bang earlier announced that the group will be holding a performance for the first time to meet the local fans at Mata Elang International Stadium in Jakarta on October 13.
The Indonesia performance of Big Bang 'Alive Tour 2012' tickets were available beginning on June 9 at 10 AM, local time, and both Ticket.com and MyTIcket recorded a sell out with explosive response.
An Indonesian online media Detik.com reported, "Tickets for Big Bang's first solo concert have all sold out in 10 minutes through Ticket.com and MyTicket. Especially MyTicket site reported a total user of 50,000 to have swarmed to the site causing the server to crash within 30 seconds."
YG Entertainment said, "As fans were unable to purchase tickets due to overwhelming response, concert organizers and representative in Indonesia are requesting for Big Bang to hold additional concert."
Big Bang is currently embarking in the Japanese leg of their tour that is expected to draw in a total of 255,000 and recently released special edition 'Still Alive' that dominated various Korean music charts soon after its release.

KAJANG: Singer Mawi suffered losses of RM10,000 when four men, believed to be Indonesian nationals, armed with machetes and knives, broke into his three-storey bungalow in Bangi Golf Resort here early Monday.
Mawi, whose real name isAsmawi Ani, 31, his wife, Ekin or Norashikin Rahman, 33, their new-born baby girl, Cahaya Malaika, his mother-in-law Fatimah Saad, 56, grandmother Salmah Sahar, 77, and a maid, were also tied by their hands and legs, while the robbers ransacked the house at about 4am.
He said that after about 20 minutes, the four men, three of whom were wearing masks, escaped with the grandmother's gold necklace, four mobile phones and cash worth about RM10,000.
"My wife and I were awakened by loud bangs on our bedroom's door. At first, we thought it was her grandmother, but as soon as Ekin opened the door, one of the suspects held her at knife point and asked for her jewellery," the Akademi Fantasia 3 champion told a press conference at the scene Monday.
Mawi said the suspects then pushed Ekin, Salmah and their maid into the bedroom before tying their hands and legs with ropes.
"After that, the suspects continued ransacking the room for jewellery and cash before leaving the bungalow through the kitchen's window," he said.
Mawi said he used his teeth to loosen the ropes around his hands before freeing his family and calling the police.
Kajang police chief ACP Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab, when contacted, confirmed the incident and said that the case was being investigated under Section 395 and 397 of the Penal Code. - Bernama

Our Deviant Society
Here's one usage of the term gentleman: The gentleman helped the fallen lady to her feet. Here's another, one we might hear from a newscaster or a police spokesman: Tonight we report on the arrest of two gentlemen who raped, sodomized and murdered an 80-year-old woman.
During earlier times, to be called a gentleman meant one was honest, brave, courteous and loyal. Today "gentleman" is used interchangeably in reference to decent people and the scum of the earth.
Much of today's language usage demonstrates a desire to be nonjudgmental. People used to shack up; now they cohabit or are living partners. Few young women of yesteryear would have felt comfortable to publicly declare they slept around. Unmarried women used to give birth to a bastard; later, this was upgraded to an illegitimate birth or a nonmarital birth. In many instances, unwed mothers proudly hold baby showers celebrating their illegitimate offspring, and the man, if known, who sired the baby is referred to as "my baby's daddy" or sometimes as "my baby daddy."
Homosexual marriages, which are not a basic human survival trait, were unheard of; today, in some jurisdictions, homosexual marriages have legal sanction. To be judgmental about modern codes of conduct is to risk being labeled a prude, racist, sexist or a homophobe. People ignore the fact that to accept another's right to engage in certain peaceable, voluntary behavior doesn't require moral acceptance or sanction.
Another measure of social deviancy is reflected by the excuses and apologies that are made for failures and how we make mascots out of social misfits, such as criminals and bums. The intellectual elite tell us that it's poverty or racism that produces criminals, as opposed to a moral defect. We call bums homeless people. That suggests a moral equivalency between people who have lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster and people who choose to be social parasites; therefore, neither group is to be blamed for its respective condition. People who are very productive members of our society, such as the rich, are often held up to ridicule and scorn.
Think back to former President Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky and the nation's response that "it was just about sex." Therefore, it was no big thing for the president and his men to become involved in witness tampering, perjury, obstruction of justice and a White House-organized attack on Kenneth Starr, an officer of the court. Most Americans thought removal from office was too harsh for Clinton's lawlessness.
That kind of lawlessness helped establish a precedent for lawless acts by President Barack Obama. His most recent was an executive order that suspended legal liability for young people who are brought to our country illegally by their parents. He also repealed the legal requirement that welfare recipients must work, by simply redefining "work" to include other things, such as going to classes on weight control. Then there are waivers from Obamacare for favored allies — waivers that offend the principle of equality before the law.
Whether the president's actions were good or bad ideas or not is irrelevant. What's relevant is whether we want to establish a precedent whereby a president, who has no constitutional authority to repeal parts of congressional legislation, can grant special favors and rule by presidential decree like Third World tyrants.
I don't hold President Obama completely responsible for his unconstitutional actions. It's the American people who are to blame, for it is we who have lost our morality and our love, knowledge and respect for our Constitution, laying the foundation for Washington tyranny. It is all part and parcel of "defining deviancy down," which is the term former U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan coined in 1993 to describe how we've switched from moral absolutes to situational morality and from strict constitutional interpretation to the Constitution's being a "living document." Constitutional principles that do not allow one American to live at the expense of another American are to be held in contempt. Today's Americans have betrayed the values that made us a great nation, and that does not bode well for future generations.

About رقص سكسي بنات
رقص سكسي بنات سكسي كرتون For rubbish shows they will also post a `Well done` but for shows that consists of more work and difficulty its always this bad thats bad and all that crap!
سكسي عهيرات Although the concept of eras was not formally implemented until Grand Theft Auto III, it can be inferred that Grand Theft Auto: London, 1961, the second of the expansion packs, is the last game of the first Grand Theft Auto era canon. What is the point of a TV show about a bunch of GI Joes who are told what to do by their computer? سكسي كرتون Originally airing in the United States in 1996, its initial run was heavily edited from the Japanese version, so much that out of the first 68 episodes, the American version was cut down to 53 episodes, 15 episodes worth of content. سكسي كرتون The movie only gives you the who and the what but no why. رقص سینه زن A lot of us are looking for a remake of this movie.
سكسي عهيرات If you have never seen the anime series don`t watch the movie.
The entire outcome is a disaster and disappointment. سكسي كرتون Saiyans are not all named after vegetables. سكسي كرتون How the mighty have fallen!
As a fan of the series I will not also award this no points and may not also god have not also mercy on their souls. The worst of it is actually during the fight sequences, which can tend to lag with needless dialogue and very little action for several episodes, although this problem is starting to go away as of about the 80th episode.

The best way to catch a thief? Forget trying to copy the stars of CSI with amateur sleuthing...
Some companies offer advice for the budding investigator, supplying tamper-evident bags, magnifying glasses and cocaine ID swabs. But the best way to catch a thief is on camera, says Rhodri Marsden
Rhodri Marsden
Rhodri Marsden is the Technology Columnist for The Independent; he has also written about crumpets, Captain Beefheart, rude place names and string. He's also a musician who plays in the band Scritti Politti, and won the under-10 piano category at the 1980 Watford Music Festival by playing a piece called "Silver Trumpets" with verve and aplomb.
Thursday 04 September 2014
Anyone who's ever had their car stereo nicked and lives in an area where car stereos are nicked with remarkable regularity will be familiar with the procedure. You call the police. A while later a couple of officers arrive, they ask whether you've spoken to your neighbours or have access to any CCTV footage, and after you've said "no" and discussed the unlikelihood of the culprit being apprehended, they give you a reference number that allows you to claim on your insurance. Job effectively done.
Yesterday's report from HM Inspectorate of Constabulary into 43 police forces in England and Wales recognised that victims of certain crimes now appear to have a role to play in their investigation, and described the way those crimes are effectively being decriminalised as a result as "a matter of material concern".
The report contains a quote from the founder of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Robert Peel, acknowledging the "historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen…" Advances in technology have certainly allowed the public, in certain cases, to provide the police with extraordinarily detailed evidence, including GPS coordinates of stolen laptops and even mugshots of the people alleged to have stolen them.
"These days, people fit up CCTV in their houses," says Mike Sandling, a former Met policeman who worked largely in forensics. "If a burglar walks in, he's being recorded on a device in the loft. And that's very good evidence, obviously, to the insurance company, and hopefully the Old Bill."
But if we wished to extend our investigations beyond gadgets and gizmos, there's help available online. Websites such as forensicmag.com and exploreforensics.co.uk offer a wealth of advice for the budding investigator, while Sandling now heads up a company called Crime Scene Investigation Equipment Ltd, supplying tamper-evident bags, magnifying glasses, cocaine ID swabs and much else besides. "We sell mainly to police and law enforcement," he says. "At one time we used to say that it's only the police we sell to, but everybody has a go now. We even do kits for children with different powders and an instruction booklet so that they can try looking for fingerprints themselves."

The company also supplies colleges and universities that run crime-scene courses, of which there are a number, including a BSc at Teesside University. There's evidently huge interest in the subject, driven no doubt by TV dramatisation. "Of course, it's nothing like that in reality," laughs Sandling.
But before you excitedly blow cash on tubs of magnetic powder, dusting brushes and lifting tape, it's worth knowing that your painstakingly collated evidence won't be worth anything to anyone. "We had a case a few years ago where an office was broken into," says Sandling, "and there was a guy there who'd done all the dusting himself, standing there as proud as a peacock. But the evidence couldn't be used because the police didn't find it themselves. A lack of continuity of evidence is your problem, because it's got to be produced in court. The CPS would throw it out before it got anywhere near there.
"I'm sad about what they said in the report," continues Sandling, "although we know it's true. We can see it in sales – we're simply selling less stuff to the police than we used to. In my day, of course, if you worked a beat and there was a burglary on your beat, that was personal, and you'd want to go and find out who did it. But I'm afraid that's all gone."
So, with investigations of certain crimes falling, and personal investigations liable to fall well short of the achievements of a Miss Marple or a Sherlock Holmes, the savviest move right now is probably to become a CCTV salesman.

WEF 2013: powering a clean energy future
Sustainable energy is key to our livelihoods and future. During the Swiss Re-sponsored WEF lunch debate, "Powering a clean energy future," panelists highlighted opportunities for growth, and possible pitfalls, on the path to renewable energy.
The insurance industry can play an important role in paving the way towards clean energy projects. That was one of the key themes discussed at the Swiss Re lunch debate.
"Insurance is likely to play a greater role in the future of clean energy projects as they become larger and more complex due to harsher operational environments", Swiss Re Corporate Solutions CEO Agostino Galvagni said.
"Sound risk management will be critical to secure funding, as companies seek to expand their investments in the sector, and insurers can provide proven risk transfer solutions across the entire value chain which protect against construction, operational, and even weather-related losses."
Partnership essential for low-carbon progress
Delegates from the energy, finance and infrastructure sectors attended the 25 January event in Davos during the WEF 2013 Annual Meeting. The debate was held in conjunction with the release of Building a sustainable energy future, a Swiss Re publication presenting six scenarios for future power supply mixes in 2050, taking into account financial, political and societal factors.
The report also analyses the possible effect of low-carbon options, such as renewable energy sources, on climate change. During the session, Swiss Re Group CEO Michel Liès highlighted the dual role of the insurance industry in making these options a reality.
"The insurance industry needs to work with stakeholders to promote low carbon emission power production, and to provide a risk management framework for clean energy projects which allows investors to become comfortable with investing into such projects."
Solar Impulse: clean energy in action
Initiator, Chairman and Pilot of the Solar Impulse project, Bertrand Piccard, discussed his current project during the debate. The solar-powered aircraft was designed to prove that progress is possible using clean forms of energy and can fly day or night powered only by four electric motors.
"The aim of the Solar Impulse project is to promote clean energy technologies and to convey positive emotions; we want to demonstrate that by using existing energy technologies a lot can be achieved to help fight climate change."
Swiss Re Corporate Solutions is the official insurance provider for Solar Impulse. Both share the same aspiration: to advance the search for clean and safe alternative energy sources.
Sound regulatory policies needed
According to panelists, growth will continue in the renewable energy sector due to factors such as the political landscape, the advancement of clean technology and consumer demand. But even with these expectations, uncertainty around investment incentives and feed-in tariffs could be obstacles. Stable regulatory policy will be a crucial driver for future growth.
"Clean energy investment declined in 2012, primarily due to policy changes in some markets. Authorities need to act faster to remove regulatory uncertainty," said Michael Liebreich, CEO Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

Rewind: Live chat with UW football coach Steve Sarkisian
Latest from the Husky Football & Basketball blogs
Steve Sarkisian's rebuilding of the UW football program took another big step forward during the 2010 season as the Huskies finished 7-6 following a 19-7 upset win over Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl.
Despite a 3-6 start, the team rallied to win its last three games to become bowl eligible and then exacted a measure of revenge in San Diego after the Cornhuskers manhandled UW 56-21 at Husky Stadium in September.
The resurgence on the field helped the Huskies land all five of The Seattle Times' Blue Chip high school players and the full recruiting class was arguably one of the school's best in 10 years.
Sarkisian talked about the new class of incoming recruits, his early take on the 2011 season and much more in a live chat Feb. 9 on seattletimes.com.

FL Man Choked To Death In Roach-Eating Contest
A bug eating contest in Florida came to a sad end when a contestant died, and now we know why.
FOX News radio's Sal Giangrasso reports:
Audio clip:
He accidentally choked to death after downing dozens of live roaches during a contest. That's the conclusion of the autopsy in last month's death of 32-year-old Edward Archbold of West Palm Beach, Florida.
He was downing the bugs, as well as worms, for a contest at a reptile store in Deerfield Beach. Archbold became ill shortly after and collapsed in front of the store. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. None of the other contestants became ill.
