A bravissimo performance
With a win over Seppi today, Raonic could send Canada to Davis Cup semis
Tony Gallagher, The ProvincePublished: Sunday, April 07, 2013
Vasek Pospisil wasn't about to let this big one slip away, not after getting up two sets in his singles match Friday, only to let it fall through his fingers and into the hands of Andreas Seppi.
Saturday afternoon, he played perhaps the game of his life in a remarkably dramatic doubles match, the kid demonstrating exactly the kind of potential he has if he ever decides to take the Daniel Nestor route and become a doubles specialist. That decision however, is a long, long way off.
The constantly improving Vernon native, who now lives in Vancouver, partnered with veteran Daniel Nestor to put Canada into position to advance to the semifinals of Davis Cup with a Milos Raonic singles win Sunday afternoon.
Vasek Pospisil (right) overcame nerves and fatigue to partner veteran Daniel Nestor to a dramatic five-set victory over Italians Fabio Fognini and Daniele Bracciali in quarterfinal Davis Cup action at UBC Thunderbird Arena on Saturday.
Jenelle Schneider, PNG
They survived a confidence and fatigue test of astounding drama to beat the Italian doubles' team of Fabio Fognini and Daniele Braccia-li Saturday at the Thunderbird Arena on UBC campus. It turned out to be 15-13 in the fifth and deciding set after a match that went well over four hours and had more twists and turns that can ever be recounted here.
Pospisil served beautifully for the first two sets, then faltered in the third and fourth, only to recover form in the amazing fifth set to carry his partner Daniel Nestor in what will be one of the most remembered matches in Canadian Davis Cup history.
With great vocal support from the Canadian fans finally becoming a big factor by getting under the skin of the visitors who frequently pleaded with the chair umpire to ask for quiet, Pospisil served out of his mind in the final set and fashioned a stream of winners as the team that figured to be the most fatigued gutted out the win.
By the time it was all over, the Italians had been ushered out of the match 6-3,6-4,3-6,3-6 15-13, the Canadian team finally getting that crucial victory after dropping matches against France and Spain in this building over the past year to miss opportunities. With a win over Seppi Sunday, Raonic could send Canada to international tennis heights previously thought to be unthinkable for this country, a trip to the semis obviously a first given this is the first time the nation has ever reached the quarters.
It looked like Pospisil was in a dreadful place mentally after he was broken twice in the third set and there certainly had to be concerns about fatigue given he had played five sets the previous day.
With Nestor being in his 40s, his fitness also had to be called somewhat into question despite his enormous experience at playing long matches. But the pair held it together and finally closed out the Italians after a Titanic struggle that seemed to go on forever, neither side giving an inch and both fending off break points in the final set when nobody could afford to lose a serve.
"It means everything with all the crowd support here," said Pospi-sil, thanking the huge throng that cheered every Canadian point. "It's just such a rush to play in front of these people. For Daniel to play the way he did, it was just incredible. He showed why he is such a legend in the sport again today."

Make sure you are seeing the right eye care provider for your condition or treatment.
Are You Fit at 40?
A baseline eye exam is recommended at age 40, when the signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Eyes may change somewhat during pregnancy due to fluid retention, increased blood volume, hormonal fluctuations and other physical shifts that are part of pregnancy. Usually these changes are temporary and resolve after the baby is born, or after weaning a breast-fed child. Vision changes tend to be minor and don't require a new eyeglass prescription. LASIK surgery should not be done when a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding.
What to Look For
A condition known as dry eye may result from hormonal fluctuations. Talk to your Eye M.D. about lubricating drops and other treatments that are safe during pregnancy. Wearing contact lenses may be less comfortable when dry eye is present. Eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EFA), such as salmon, flax seeds and walnuts, may help resolve dry eye and also supports general good health.
If vision becomes very blurry, it may signal high blood pressure or pregnancy-related diabetes. Contact your doctor right away.

Bank details - PAH! Phishers want your FACEBOOK password
The frequency of phishing attacks against UK internet users has tripled over the last 12 months, according to figures from Russian security software firm Kaspersky Lab. Facebook, Yahoo! Google and Amazon are the websites most targeted by phishers in the UK, indicating a diversification away from the traditional target of …
Hey phishers!!!!....
If you want my Facebook login you're bloody welcome to it - if you're that desperate to look at pictures of my sisters cats all day that is! Thought not!
But if you change your mind and you do fancy ogling some puss, then why not cut out the middle-man - instead of phising for Facebook logins just get a job at PRISM and fill your boots with as much puss as you can handle!
Paris because its too early in the morning and I'm talking shite to myself on the el-reg forums! Again!
Re: Hey phishers!!!!.... THINK AGAIN!
Be careful with your Facebook account. There are many, many other sites that will use the Facebook login process to access their site (I think linked-in will, and I was looking at the On-TV app on Android that allows it - I tend to ignore it as I don't want all my accounts linked together). I think these processes work by logging into Facebook themselves, and seeing whether the ID that you've given is currently logged in.
There seems to be a group of information providers that would like to become single sign-on candidates. I've seen Google, Yahoo and PayPal as well as Facebook offered as quick ways of registering and authenticating for other sites on the Web.
Re: Hey phishers!!!!.... THINK AGAIN!
"There are many, many other sites that will use the Facebook login process to access their site"
And, before long, social security benefits. "Hello Mr Link. DWP here. We see you've been claiming Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit and Disability Personal Independence Allowance Benefit (due to an old sword wound) for the last five years. Can you please provide the documentation for that?"
Re: Hey phishers!!!!.... THINK AGAIN!
They can have my Facebook password
Pity I don't have an account to go with it!
If someone steals your Facebook password, then...
...you have lost face.
Re: If someone steals your Facebook password, then...
Oh the shame (of posting such a terrible joke)!
Re: If someone steals your Facebook password, then...
No that's a good joke, I just upvoted it! It's better than the guff I come up with after-all!
Login using FaceBook!
Can't be long now until Summer Wars becomes reality.
I remember thinking, after the first time I watched that; "Hell, we're actually bloody doing this....".
If I ever see a bank or similar offering the "convenience" of logging on with your FB credentials I'm going to find a deep hole, climb in and pull the ruddy thing in after me.
It's a new world, new measures are required
As more and more social, government, financial and business interaction moves to the Internet, especially for individuals, people - especially vulnerable people, such as older people - are going to have to be educated in computer security, because the risk of online crime against these people are becoming ever greater, and their mindset isn't adjusted to it; they are barely aware of the security measures that have to be taken against physical attacks (in the street, against the home), let alone digital attacks, which are too subtle for most people to detect. A lot of work lies ahead.
surely this is a hold-to-ransom type of affair rather than "I just want to look at your messages and pictures etc"
If you stole a FB account details, then emailed the user saying I want X amount before a certain day, otherwise I will:
message your mother saying you are addicted to crack and a secret gay
message your ex claiming to have aids
message a friend admitting you watch big brother
post a status proclaiming your love of nickelback and a photoshopped image of account holder with the lead singer
plus other various dodgy images, gore and racist things you could post to wreck the lives of the people who devote their whole life to FB
I do remember a 4chan escapade where they had a bunch of details for FB accounts, watching the madness unfold was rather funny
message your mother saying you are addicted to crack and a secret gay
message your ex claiming to have aids
message a friend admitting you watch big brother
post a status proclaiming your love of nickelback and a photoshopped image of account holder with the lead singer
I would be mortified if anyone proclaimed I loved nickelback, also is "addicted to crack and a secret gay" not a contradiction?
Re: Struggling
"also is "addicted to crack and a secret gay" not a contradiction?"
Not if it's arse crack :)
Re: Struggling
john the ripper could rip you one...
Hackers dream
Get in to target's Facebook/linkedin accounts and create a dictionary based on the content (most people's password are based on something in their life)
Then dictionary attack their place of work/bank etc.
It is like social hacking without actually talking to the target (other than the initial phish).
Has John Leydon left...
...the Sex Pistols then? I bet I'm the 12th to ask today.
Why would anyone not use upper/lower case alpha/numerical/non-alpha numerical characters and different passwords and not keep them in txt files?
Unless of course the world is full of idiots? Picture for example of this
For every nefarious action
there is a reason
One day ...
I might write a program to hit phishing links with hundreds of thousands of bogus login details, and invite people to forward me any phishing emails they get as targets.
In fact, now I'm thinking about it, a better way would be a distributed app (a la SETI@Home) so the logins appear to come from all over the net.
On a more low-tech note, if everybody who got a phishing email clicked the link and supplied a duff login, the inherent value in phishing would collapse overnight.
I just need that round tuit ....
Re: One day ...
"On a more low-tech note, if everybody who got a phishing email clicked the link and supplied a duff login, the inherent value in phishing would collapse overnight."
Been doing it for years, behind TOR, with valid card numbers from dark coding (he does a card number gen which passes all checks except the csv digits..
Its great fun, knowing these fucking idiots will be trying over and over to try my apparently real details...
Im pleasured to have wasted their time....
Phishing Attacks?
Who is going to save us all from these BT, PayPal, Yahoo, Google, Facebook and Amazon phishing attacks ?
Ho-hum; what moron would possibly be fooled by such childish tricks?
Re: Idiocracy
You must now know very many actual people.
Re: Idiocracy
Not, dammit NOT. Where's that fucking edit button?????
BT encourage phish-prone behaviour by sending out regular emails with links to their site, requiring you to log in to see your bill.
Once they have established that habit, it makes it very easy for the phishers.
I have long sent requests to their customer service bit bucket for an option to put a bill summary in the monthly email (as talktalk do now) - that's all I (and probably most people) need to see (to check nothing is amiss), and then they won't bother clicking on links. I don't consider my monthly bill total sensitive data that cannot be sent by email.

At the age of ten, Dorothy Rickmeyer took up the alto saxophone and continued to play for years. Living in West Virginia at the time, she was proud to march in the sax section of the Ceredo-Kenova High School band during parades. But, like many, she stopped playing after graduation.
Jobs and families take up so much time that, unless you're a professional musician, it's virtually impossible to stay with that trumpet, violin, flute, or drum set. But eventually, the kids fly the coop and retirement looms. Realizing she no longer had any excuse, Rickmeyer decided to return to the sax.
"I had not played for 40 years," she explains. "I started playing again about 6 years ago, when I was introduced to a musical group, and they handed me a saxophone at a rehearsal."
Rickmeyer, age 69, no longer plays with the group, but she recently had another stroke of luck. She was getting her sax repaired at Mars -- The Musician's Planet in Fort Lauderdale when she heard about the music store's New Horizons program, which will enable musicians over age 50 to meet twice a week for twelve weeks to prepare for a full concert.
The program doesn't begin until April, but men and women ages 55 to 85 have already attended initial registration meetings. Like Rickmeyer, many of them are former musicians who want to get back into performing. Some have never played an instrument but would like to give it a shot.
The first hour of each two-hour session will be devoted to small-group rehearsal for like instruments. "They'll all become a part of the program, even beginners," explains Randall DeWitt, Mars' director of education. "Those with experience will be mentors." An ensemble practice conducted by retired high school band director Al Fetterman of Miami will take up the second hour.
Whatever they're looking for musically, players get something more from the program, which is based on the model created in 1991 by Roy Ernst, a professor of music at Rochester University's Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. "Senior adults enjoy music, and there is a special kind of joy involved in playing music as a group," Ernst says. "And they make new friends, and there are events to look forward to."
Music is also good for one's health, he claims. Intellectual stimulation keeps the brain in working order, and the use of muscles -- whether it's blowing into a flute or pounding on a drum -- keeps physical dexterity intact. "Music provides all these things," Ernst says.
Rickmeyer couldn't agree more. "This seems like an opportune time to further my education in music," she says. "And we will be socializing, as well."
-- John Ferri
The New Horizons program for musicians age 50 and older will begin in early April at Mars -- The Musician's Planet, 5300 Powerline Rd., Fort Lauderdale. An informational meeting will take place in mid-March. Cost for the twelve-week program is $159. Call 954-489-1175.

Business Revenue Lending
Quick Working Capital For Growing Businesses
Business Revenue Lending is based on businesses that are currently operating and who are generating bank deposits. Because that is the only thing that revenue based lending depends on…bank deposits.
Many business owners take out this type of financing who are stuck. Revenue based lending is one of our most popular products. It allows the business owner to access cash from their business without personal credit requirements. So for entrepreneurs looking for small business loans for bad credit, this is a perfect financial vehicle.
Depending on the credit and the type of credit presented with the merchant account and bank statements, our lenders will provide you the lowest rates available.
Here's The Guidelines:
- Length in business greater than 6 months
- Minimum $10,000 in business bank deposits
- A "non" sole proprietor
- Access to last 6 months bank statements
- Access to last 6 months merchant statements
- Annual gross revenue of $100,000
- Over 15 monthly transactions
- Bankruptcy's seasoned from discharge for minimum 2 years
- Personal credit better- No requirements- Personal Credit will affect rate
- If in collections of judgements positive payment plan
Here's The Benefits:
- ½ the cost of a merchant advance
- Credit profile, bank statements and industry type are determining factors when deciding how the loan is processed.
- Your payment reports as a positive business credit tradeline
- Interest and Fees Tax Deductible
- 48 hour turnaround
- Very quick funding
- Build business Credit
- Loan is unsecured
- Loans from $3000 to $250,000
- Perfect for short term necessities
Here's The Terms:
- Fixed Interest. Fixed Payments
- No collateral
- Many Times No Personal Guarantee
- Micro payments collected only on business days
(2-3%) of expected daily receivables
- 3-18 months terms
Business revenue lending is designed to be a short term loan.
The lender will withdrawal money every day once the funding is dispersed, Monday-Friday. No weekend. No Holidays
You need to ask yourself a question when it comes to business revenue lending… will you ROI on the investment and is it worth the loan?
Business Revenue lending is a fee based, short term micro business loan and the fact it is short term, you will be paying a higher rate than a traditional SBA loan. Generally speaking, if you are averaging $100,000 a month in receivables and you have over 700 credit you will receive the lowest rates and the longest payback period and in theory you're RIO should trump anyone else's.
But at the end of the day it comes to one thing…
What would you do if you didn't take out this loan? Would you pass up an order you cannot fill? Would you not be able to hire the personnel necessary to handle the client influx? Would you not be able to purchase the leads necessary to use your sales team efficiently?
Contact a finance manager today to talk about revenue based lending and business loans for bad credit so you won't have to suffer any of these. Within a few short days you can have working capital in your business bank account.
Here's an example of how Business Revenue Lending works:
Mr. Smith owns a food service. He's currently generating $32,000-$40,000 a month, been in business 3 years and has a FICO of 550. His bank statements have no negative days and only 1 NSF. He has ended the previous 6 months with a daily balance of $1200
Mr. Smith is looking for a piece of equipment that costs $20,000. He believes can generate an additional $12,000 per month once the equipment is up and running.
Mr. Smith contacts Bentley Capital Ventures and is approved for a $20,000 loan on Monday. The term is 9 months loan with a daily payment of $135.75. On Tuesday the funds are deposited into Mr. Smith's business bank account and Wednesday the daily withdrawal begins.
Thursday Mr. Smith is able to purchase his new piece of equipment and he's live….
Here's the math of the deal:
Mr. Smith believes with a $20,000 he'll be able to change revenues from $32000- $40000 to $44000-$52000 every month. His loan has been approved with a $135.75 daily payback. There are 22 business days in the month. This equals $2986.50 as a monthly payback to Bentley Capital Ventures and/or affiliates.
During the first month, Mr. Smith virtually covers 50% of the loan in new revenue because of the piece of equipment and is able to continue generating revenue at a rapid pace
If you want to use our revenue based loan calculator you'll have a good idea of what you can get approved for based on monthly deposits and credit score range.
Additional Benefits To Business Revenue Lending
Many of our partners will allow the business owner to "re-up" once 50% of the balance on the loan is paid off. So business owners can add additional funds into the business account if need be. This allows someone with troubled credit, trouble bank statements, a restricted industry ect. to access additional funds where the alternative would be a bank turndown.
For a complete guide on revenue based loans we've compiled a full 5 chapter guide on everything from terms conditions and guidelines, to the underwriting process, to what can kill your chances of approval

Taiwan Cafe - a little funky...?
- Bob Dobalina Jul 2, 2007 04:21 AM
We stopped in late on Friday night to Taiwan Cafe based on what I perceived as near-universal acclaim on the board.
Oyster pancake
House-style noodles with eel
Sauteed pea greens
Maybe poor choices, but we struggled to enjoy the food.
The oyster pancake was just too funky...runny eggy "pancake" with unidentifiable gelatinous bits and lots of oysters, which I am guessing were canned? Slathered in redish-brown gravy. Did not look particularly appetizing. I guess I was thinking, "Cool...scallion pancake with oysters..." but this was rather different.
The noodles were good (flat variety) but the eel was in slivers and tasted just slightly...off...somehow, as in from a can, rather than unagi-style eel, which I guess is what I was expecting.
The pea greens were delish! Thoroughly enjoyed them, simple preparation with chicken-based broth (I think) and garlic.
Based on the other reviews, I am guessing that the food must have been all very authentic Taiwanese, properly prepared and so forth, which so happened to be just a little too unexpected for my Sino-Americanized palate. Thoughts? Other ordering recommendations? I mean, let me be clear that when I say off, it was to a degree that made me think it was my experience level that was being tested, rather than food that was spoiled. Although I thought for the bounty of oysters and eel that was in each dish respectively, I thought it had to come from a pre-packaged source and was not fresh. Perhaps also the time had something to do with it? It was midnight when we rolled in. Oh, and cash only...? Bother.
Anyway, I welcome your feedback.
I remember getting the eel dish on 1 of my first trips to TC..None of us went nuts for it and I haven't had it since so that says something. I much prefer the eel/black bean or maggei prep of the eel at other Chinatown favorites.
I occassionally get the oyster pancake, but Ms 9 agrees with you..too runny. Ther recent version at Potluck Cafe is far better..and worth trying if you like that dish.
My "always order" TC dishes are the poblano beef, basil eggplant..often the soup dumplings or pan fried ravioli. They also have a pork belly/taro root..that's on the lunch menu or specials page that I like a lot..also a seafood clay pot..good sliced kidney dish. Soft shell crabs are good..not quite PFS. I'm probably forgetting a few more of my favorite; but I'm sure others will weigh in.
I have eaten there twice. My impressions were the food ranged from fair to awful. Can't agree with Chowhound consensus all the time.
Edit: It's possible I just don't appreciate authentic Taiwanese food, because I also disliked Mulan. If so, this would be the first cuisine I can think of I really don't like. But I love Shangri La and it's supposedly Taiwanese, so...?
re: aventinus
Shangri La is run by Taiwanese, but they feature a lot of Sichuan dishes even the menu draws from multiple regions.
Oyster pancake means oyster omelet, at least every time I've ever had one. I've never had it at TC.
Eating at TC makes me feel like eating in someone's kitchen- the food is simple in flavor, often unbalanced, often a little funky. Taiwanese food generally makes me feel like that. It's also sweeter than most Americans are used to.
I think you can't go wrong with the salt and pepper pork chop bits, the greens, the eggplant with basil (although this is one of those super-sweet dishes), and the beef with peppers (which is sometimes a little bland).
I think TC gets a lot of points here for being different, since there aren't that many Taiwanese places around, and they tend to be equally hit-or-miss (MuLan, May's Cafe).
If you're interested, I've had a series of good meals at Wisteria House, though I am no expert on authentic Taiwanese. Fantastic yellow chive and leek/pork dumplings.
I will say that my first visit to Taiwan Cafe was not a success. That was about 10 years ago, and thank heavens we gave it a second try, as I've probably been there on average once a month now for the past 8 - 9 years.
All I remember from my first visit was thinking that the clams with basil were way too garlicky and salty.
What I can tell you from the 100 or so subsequent visits is that I have never been anything less than thrilled with:
"mini steamed buns with pork" - a.k.a. soup dumplings, xiao long bao, or xlb. larger than those I've had anywhere else, but very tasty.
salt & pepper fried pork
Taiwanese style pan fried dumplings
Taiwanese fried rice with chicken
Noodles with ground pork and broad bean sauce
Noodles with beef and sa cha sauce
Homestyle braised eggplant with basil
Beef with poblano peppers (sometimes listed as longhorn peppers)
Beef with sa cha sauce
Pork or beef with bamboo shoots
Pork with mustard greens
I guess we lean towards non-seafood items, but I've seen many a fish come out of that kitchen, so don't take my experience as gospel. Just don't give up!
never been disappointed or noted anything but top-notch stuff here at TC. as others have posted the Beef w/Longhorn peppers, eggplant w/basil etc are very very good.
i've also had their eel with yellow chive (yum) pork with bamboo tip (also yum), stinky tofu and mao po tofu (extra spicy please!). all wicked good.
i have never been that late at night, so that may of had something to do with your less than stellar experience. i'd give it another try.
re: ScubaSteve
Thank you everyone for the advice and encouragement. From the recs, it sounds like I indeed missed out on the favorite dishes, so I will give it another shot.
re: Bob Dobalina
Also, a number of Chinatown restaurants are cash only. The real pain is the lack of ATMs in the area. There is one back in the Chinatown garage and then the large Fleet location on Kneeland. Other than that ...
I also really like the oysters in black bean, plus a scallion pancake for dipping into the bean/oyster sauce. Probably are canned oysters but I like the taste with all of the basil.
I'm not really that big a fan of TC - food is often overseasoned and not very consistent in quality. Have tried several dishes - beef with tomatoes, three cup chicken, braised tofu, various veggies etc. I highly recommend the tofu (hong2 shao1 dou4 fu3). I think they used egg tofu, which added a great deal of flavor. Everything else was just so-so. My friends used to eat at TC a whole lot, but only ever ordered their stewed pork belly over rice.
Like others, I'd say give it another try. TC is one of my faves in Chinatown, but I didn't know those dishes had universal acclaim on the board. ; ) Except for the pea greens, I've had the oyster pancake and eel only once, and went back to my favorites. As 9Lives mentioned above, the eel was on one of my first visits about 5 years ago and I wasn't a fan; like you I thought the eel tasted 'off'. I love eel, but I've had that happen to me one other time, maybe Peach Farm or Noodle Alcove. I have a hard time straying from my favorites:
Beef with poblano/longhorn peppers (plenty spicy last time), julienned pork with bamboo shoots, eggplant and basil, minced pork roll in tofu silk, edamame with mustard greens and bean curd, soft shell crabs in season, big pan-fried dumplings, and the scallion pancakes which, unfortunately are inconsistent - when they're done right, they're some of the best in the city.
re: Bob Dobalina
Yes, you're right. I think I'm just not a huge fan of the oyster pancake in general. Most times it's too "soggy" to me.
re: Bob Dobalina
If there was any waxing, it was likely for the scallion pancake.
re: Bob Dobalina
There HAS been waxing about the oyster pancake, but it seems to be a prime victim of the inconsistancy problem. When it's on, it's full of juicy oysters, cripey(in an eggy way) pancake, spicy sauce. When it's off, the rice flour(or rice stach,or something like that; I looked up a recipe once) doesn't seem incorporated, the sauce tastes like ketchup, and it is, to quote Tony Bourdain, (speaking about natto), "Like drinking out of the spit cup at the dentist"....But I've only had the bad one once....And for next time, get the seafood in Claypot, or as Dave MC once cristened it, "Death by Seafood in clay pot"....
re: galleygirl
What's that wry comment from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when the evil guy drinks from the gold chalice and turns to ash?
"He chose...poorly..." Clearly...
Thank goodness the oyster pancake and eel weren't quite THAT bad! ;)
Taiwan Cafe is one of my favorite places in Chinatown. Never had the oyster pancake or the eel, but I like the eggplant & basil and all of their soups that I've tried. They also prepare vegetables well (as you saw), and do well with pork - think it was a braised bacon dish I had once that was so good. I'm also a fan of their Taiwanese brunch, but that's mostly for the fried dough & beef sandwiches they serve. I'm one of the few that doesn't like the XLB - really unwieldy and a poor broth. I think they do approachable Chinese food and their staff has always been really sweet and helpful with the menu.
Maybe you caught them on an off night or had poor dishes. Or maybe they had food to use up at the end of the night and you got stuck. Anyway, I do hope you try them again and have a better experience.
re: CapeCodChowHound
Yeah! It's like a Ouija board.
TC's a rather inconsistent place. I've had the eel noodles a few times and it's been quite variable, fishy sometimes, just right at other times.
The quality of the cooking at TC is generally very rough and homey; Mulan's cooking is a bit tighter.
The oyster omelette is supposed to have gooey bits of tapioca flour in it -- you'll see that in renditions from Fujian and Chaozhou. The reddish sweet sauce is likely a sweet bean sauce, a Taiwanese touch. But I've had perfectly "authentic" dishes that are poorly rendered, and considering TC's variability, it doesn't surprise me too much.
Do try the oyster pancake at Rainbow Cafe next door -- it was very good, and more of a pancake than an omelette.
re: limster
Ah, limster buddy, thanks for the info. Sounds right on the money...
re: limster
I love the oyster omelette at Penang--is this evidence of my shoddy knowledge of Malaysian cuisine or do others agree?
re: tatamagouche
The oyster omelette in Malaysia and Singapore are essentially Fujian or Chaozhou, won't be too dissimilar from the ones at Potluck Cafe etc.... I've had it before and agree it's pretty good.
re: galangatron
TC's whole steamed fish is a revelation....served with a light ginger/soy/scallion sauce, we devour it every time. I'm an eel lover but I didn't love the eel/noodle dish, either.
went yesterday (7/4/07) around 4pm with the kid. had beef w/LH peppers, mao po tofu, pea stems and the eggplant with basil.
the tofu was excellent. asked for it to be prepared extra hot and it came with a nice bit of chopped tiny green peppers that really lit it up.
the pea stems were really good as was everything else.

Apple's new iPhones dope-slap Samsung in US
More data has surfaced that indicates Apple's new smartphones are humbling Samsung's Galaxy S 4 in the US. According to a sales survey conducted by the investment bank Canaccord Genuity, the iPhone 5s outsold the Galaxy 4 S at the US's four major carriers – AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile – in September, and the 5c is …
5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
I have a 5s (as if you've seen previous posts I train people in app programming and app writing, so I need one - that's what I tell the wife :o) and the fingerprint scanner is a real game changer as you you don't need to type in a passcode (only been using it 3 days and boy does it make a difference). Before I used it I thought the difference would be negligible.
The 5c has made one of my teenage daughters offer money towards buying one for her as a Christmas present (normally she is so tight with her money she'd make Scrooge look like a philanthropist).
So even though it didn't seem to be much of a change I think Apple has tapped into something here that wasn't obvious.
Now that I've used a 5s for a few days I wouldn't want to go back to typing a long password any more.
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
Do you have to focus on using the fingerprint scanner, or do you find if you pick it up "the right way" (!) it automatically detects your finger and unlocks without you having to think about it?
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
You mean like Google's face recognition... sometimes I pick the phone up and it naturally unlocks when it catches glimpse of my handsome visage.
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
Fingerprint readers have been used for authentication on mobile devices since at least the Microsoft PocketPC devices from years ago, and probably even before that. How is it not obvious that they can be used in this way?
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
They weren't "touch" and unlock readers. They were more cumbersome "slide your finger" readers. If they worked so well why did it take Apple to re-introduce them to the mass market?
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
You have to use the fingerprint scanner to believe how good it is and how easy it is to use - it is a game changer in authentication. Yes - others will copy it and make out it's not a big deal but as a way of improving security (especially when half of all phones do not even have a passcode.
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
Or a photo of your face?
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
The trick is to scan you finger print the way you naturally use it, so my thumb is at 45 degrees to the phone.
It takes multiple scans and then gets you to roll you finger (or thumb) around so it gets a larger scan.
Then it just works :o
It is so convenient that it seems that the phone is not locked, I am actually impressed (having tried other finger print scanners in the past), best I've seen and no-one else has been able to unlock it :)
Plus the slow motion video is also fun 120 frames per second.
Wait until
They bring out limited edition colours for the iPhone 5c.....
The scanner really does works, my only gripe is that it only records 5 fingers and as I am ambidextrous I have used up four spaces with my fingers and thumbs. My son has the other space so that he can play games on it.
Pick it up anyway you want it just works.
Why would people downvote a)someone asking a genuine question b)someone who takes the time to give real hands-on feedback.
Get back to jacking off to the Linux source code, you bunch of spotty virgins.
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
Why has Apple re-introduced them??? and is it THAT hard to slide your finger over a sensor to unlock?
Why is it whenever Apple put something on the mobile that has been around for ages in other areas its an innovation? NO its EVOLUTION, shrinking of technology means technology will evolve to use it no matter what...
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
I haven't used a new iPhone, so the fingerprint thingymajig may be a load of rubbish. But I did have a laptop with one of the standard
pull/scan-my-finger type of sensors, and it was totally rubbish. You had to look at the scanner, precisely orient your finger in the correct way, and slowly slide it across the slot at an even speed. And your reward was that it worked about 1 time out of 3.
Whereas the Apple one is on a depression in the face of the phone, in a place your thumb naturally goes to to turn the thing on, and does the scanning in the gesture that you'd be using anyway. So it looks to me like a much better implementation - assuming it actually works.
Is it innovation? Yes and no. Other people could have done it, but they didn't. They couldn't be arsed. Business laptops have had these piss-poor fingerprint readers on them for at least the last decade, and they've been shit for at least the last decade.
So do Apple deserve to be praised to the skies for their brilliance? No. Do they deserve credit for seeing that only half their users were password locking their phones, and making an effort to come up with a workable solution that's simple enough that it might actually get used? Yes.
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
It's a different kind of sensor to the crap sensors used in the past! It's been explained in any number of articles that this is a capacitative sensor with the equivalent of a 500 dpi resolution that looks beneath the surface of the skin. It's not an old optical surface scanner as used on those old, less reliable, sensors.
Your assertion is like claiming that iPhone 4's "retina" display was just a gimmick because "every phone has a display".
The iPhone 5s isn't the first phone to include a fingerprint sensor, no, but it is the first to include one that is (a) not shit, and (b) actually integrated right into the OS at a very deep level, making it far more useful.
Apple are all about creating a seamless user experience. They only include a technology if it will actually enable them to improve that. Any new technology they include in their products therefore has to be integrated at a very deep level in order to provide that appearance of seamlessness.
(And, before the usual bunch of ignorant haters jump in: no, they're not perfect. Last time I checked, neither were any of Apple's competitors.)
Nothing I've written above should be even remotely surprising to regular readers of El Reg as all the evidence has been right there, out in the open: Neither Jobs nor Apple have ever hidden this information from the public. They've even produced TV spots explaining all this. And not just that one either. Many of their ads are there to educate people about Apple's philosophy of making design and the user experience – not merely shovelling raw, unprocessed technology into a box for its own sake – their top priority.
They've been doing this for at least fifteen years now.
What more do they have to do? How long will it take for some of you to grok that Apple are not Microsoft or LG and are successful precisely because of how they differ in their approaches to product design and production?
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
I'm sure it's fine, but the problem is that this small feature is trumpeted as being the best thing ever - and then you launch into your marketing speech praising everything about them - whilst other features for companies are ignored. Why not praise the face-unlock in Android too? (And I don't use the fingerprint scanner in my laptop, not because it doesn't work, but because it's quick enough typing a password; I don't use face-unlock either, finding in pin Just Works fine.)
Same as with "retina" - why aren't you praising every other increase in resolution, before and after, since apart from 2010, it's been other phones that have had the highest resolution?
Most other companies only include technology if it improves things. Everything you say applies to most other technology companies - Microsoft and LG included (I love my LG TV, and I'd gladly upgrade to an LG Nexus). They're not special. Other companies aren't perfect, which as you say isn't any different either.
So to conclude, they're just like any other company - no need to evangelise.
"not merely shovelling raw, unprocessed technology into a box for its own sake"
I'll remember that when I hear someone credit for having the first 64-bit phone. Or going on about "retina".
Re: 5S and 5C impressive for different reasons
Actually this whole story about Apple and their fingerprint sensor is full of FUD, hyperbole and blatant theft from Samsung. The truth is Samsung had applied for using this very same Authentec sensor in the Galaxy S3. Because Samsung was already using Authentec sensors in notebooks since 2005 and had even planned to put them in it's first Origami UMPC ("Ultra Mobile PC" 2007 tablet PC) well before iPad even. Their Patent Application was in 2011, a year before Apple's. It was for one in the Home Button and the proof was just discovered this year. When a coded image was found in the Galaxy S3's firmware. People want to deny this... because they also put several other locations in this patent.
But our Appleholic USPTO ignored it and it didn't get approved till after the image was discovered and made public, just this year. Meanwhile, Samsung since they had been running this very same sensor technology in Notebooks was having the same problems Apple is having now.... chip yields. They had also found out how weak and hackable the security in this technology was. So it didn't make it into Galaxy S3.
Apple in the meantime, had been trying to buy Authentec out from under Samsung. After they had found out from a patent search that Samsung was going to possibly use Authentec's sensor in the Galaxy S3, while discovering their Patent. Which is why they only applied for a patent for a hand print scan under the screen a year after Samsung's application. They had no sensor for one in the Home Button, until just recently modified to fix this failure. So Apple actually ended up way over paying for Authentec's now failed technology, hacked by fake prints.
Yet Apple had gone after the very same company that their biggest competitor had been using for then 7yrs. Was this anti-competitive? What they got though.... was a bio-metric technology doomed to fail. Because it only scans the surface layer. Unlike Validity's technology that uses Deep Tissue scanning to prevent the HACK that your 5s is susceptible to. Meanwhile Samsung scrambled to find a replacement sensor for GS4 and to fix that problem, that Apple apparently couldn't.
After Apple bought Authentec out from under them and had Authentec discontinue support for former customers like Samsung, only then did they file for a patent that got approved immediately.... naturally by a now totally consumed Appleholic USPTO like you and the Register's writer here. Anti-competitive? You better believe it!
So how do you think Samsung found out about Authentec's failure on small devices? Easy.... they are partners with Motorola. Who had an Authentec sensor in the Atrix two years ago. This is why Moto was dissing and laughing at Apple. Because they already knew Authentec's fingerprint sensor technology was doomed to be hacked even by kids on YouTube videos!!! lol....
But every other phone maker now has opted for Validity's far superior technology and algorithms. While Authentec had been sitting on technology that had already been set up to fail back in 2002. When a hacker had published a how to hack their fingerprint sensor way back then. Can Apple somehow save Authentec? Well hey'll try for sure, but meanwhile you have an iPhone 5s that can be hacked by novices and children! ...Enjoy It while it lasts, but don't use it to buy stuff for sure!!!
So both Motorola and it's fellow Android partner... Samsung are snickering and laughing about Apple's misfortune in paying so much for technology doomed to fail! :DDD
btw... Samsung has just broke their own smartphone sales record this last Quarter, by selling between 85 and 89 Million Smartphones in September Quarter. Putting them on target to sell well over 300 Million Smarterphones this year! ;-P .....and that compared to Apple only headed for a measly by comparison 150 million iPhone w/ sensors conned by kids, monkeys, cats and dogs prints!
I'm trying to be interested, really I - oo look a butterfly.
... comment ever.
Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
I look forward to reading the inverse of this story when the S5 arrives. And then reading it the same way around again when the iPhone 6 arrives.
(it is interesting to see the 5C gaining proportionally on the 5S though; I'm still not sure about its potential, on the grounds that (i) it's not particularly cheap; and (ii) the coloured plastic with a black front looks a bit odd)
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
In Canada Apple is advertising the crap out of the 5c. On TV and in the Mall where every store that sells phones has a giant poster of that back of a 5c in the front window.
If the 5s is still #1 in three months it will be more interesting. Now it's just the normal new phone blip.
@ Thom - HRe: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
> . . .
it is interesting to see the 5C gaining proportionally on the 5S though
. . . <
Easy explanation: More people actually want the 5C, there just weren't enough of them about. Now that enough people have traded in their old iPhone5 for a new 5S, there's enough of them about that can be resold with a plastic back as a new iPhone 5C.
3.) Profit
Not sure if icon appropriate.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
If Apple is so far behind then why would that matter?
Re: @ Thom - HStop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
No surprise - the 5C is a fantastic phone at a competitive price - it's basically the previous 5 with a new skin and appeals to a much wider market. Expect to see some similar looking competitor phones soon.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
Stop press! Heavily promoted and press hyped product sells well in home market shocker.
Re: Expect to see some similar looking competitor phones soon.
Yeah, I can't wait to see some of the Android and Windows Phone manufacturers release some plastic cased phones available in different colours.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
"Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!"
You're sarcasm would work better if the S4 had outsold the iPhone 5, an older phone, but it didn't outsell that either.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones! (@SuccessCase)
This news story is Canaccord Genuity stating that the new iPhones have outsold the Galaxy S4. In June Canaccord Genuity stated that the Galaxy S4 was outselling the old iPhone.
Here: http://www.informationweek.com/mobility/smart-phones/samsung-galaxy-s4-outsells-iphone-5/240156177
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones! (@SuccessCase)
Thom, Thom, Thom, are you seriously presenting 1 months data in the month immediately prior to the new iPhone release as indicative of iPhone 5 sales performance versus Galaxy S4 ? Sales figures, which also exclude Apple Stores, you know, only the most successful retail stores in the world very much on the strength of iPhone sales !!! Really !!?
Why do you think Apple provide a breakdown of iPhone shipments and Samsung don't break out the sales of their Galaxy line of phones?
Hint, because they aren't anywhere close.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones! (@SuccessCase)
BTW, iPhone 5 sold twice as many as the S4 during the launch weekend. It has sold 89m units (the majority of that figure is to end users, not to channel) over 12 months including overlap with S4 launch. The S4 has sold 20m units to channel in the first 3 months (which, being a new release, should be, by a long way, the strongest quarter) and Samsung have since reported an unexpected slowdown which means they will miss targets (as they are obliged to report this as a public listed company). The extent of this slowdown is not yet clear. Plus reported sales do not yet include overlap with the iPhone 5S being on sale, so it can be expected sales of the Galaxy S4 will be further reduced due to competition, So basically the chance of the Galaxy S4 getting close to iPhone 5 sales figures is zero.
Re: @ Thom - HStop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!

Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones! (@SuccessCase)
I think the data backs up your claim on individual models: Apple significantly outsells the Samsung flagship. But seeing as Samsung has a multi-model strategy, and this year it's a plethora, that's hardly surprising. As a result Samsung will definitely sell more Galaxys than Apple sells I-Phone. In addition, that the S4 was the biggest selling phone on several networks for several months is impressive and will continue to build the Samsung brand.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones! (@SuccessCase)
Hi Charlie, well said. You will see my original comment was in response to the sarcastic headline "Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!" and I pointed out the sarcasm was misplaced. The iPhone 5 has outperformed S4 sales by a considerable margin. The Samsung Galaxy line has done well. Especially the Galaxy note as a clear popular second choice. It is still unclear however if the Galaxy handset line as a whole is outselling the iPhone range as a whole (remember when the 5 was on sale the 4S and 4 remained on sale and were both continued to sell strongly). And then if tablets are also taken into account, the answer is almost certainly that iOS is outselling the Galaxy range by some margin.
Can the comparison be made? There are figures for the relative sales of iPhone 4 versus 4S versus 5. It may be possible to do something with the second chart on this excellent report to extract the Galaxy range figures:
but the ratio's and data-points are constrained to launch date --> present day for each model, so getting an equivalent point in time to compare recent performance is fraught with difficulty. I still strongly suspect the Galaxy range as a while is not outselling the iPhone range for either phones or tablets, because if it was, Samsung would have found a way to publicise the story. In my experience there is only ever one reason a public listed company will not publicise relative sales performance figures and that is as a measure against the competition, they are not as good as people might otherwise think they are.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones... @CharlieClark
WTF do you think you're playing at, trying to bring your crazy brand of rationality into this? Troll.
Re: @ WhoaWhoa - HStop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
Don't you dare call the new, innovative, magical, never seen before, revolutionary iSkin "Plastic"
Heresy, I say! Burn the heretic!
Only Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, etc. use cheap plastic.
Only news when it's Apple...
It's also worth noting that this is just one country, one month (and one survey). So, given the large numbers of countries that phones are sold in, and the 12 months a year, why isn't every time a phone is best selling in a country news? (Especially as the US market has always been very different to the rest of the world - e.g., Nokia never having had much presence, it always being iphone's strongest market, and Android has far less of a lead.)
There's also the point that Apple always do better on individual devices sales, because they have far fewer devices - if we're really comparing Apple to Samsung, then we should compare Apple to Samsung. How do total sales compare I wonder?
From the article:
"The sales stats are striking, seeing as how Apple's new iPhones didn't go on sale until September 20"
Well no, not really, because you have all the rush of early buyers and pre-orders. If anything, I would expect this to favour the phone just released, and it's a known fact especially for Apple that their sales are very seasonal. Will we get a news item if in 6 months' time, the S4 is leading again in the US? And 9 million? IIRC the S4 was 9 million on pre-orders alone, and that was for *one* phone, not two.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
I agree (endless hype and advertising here in the UK too) - but also Apple have long held the "single best selling device" for years even worldwide I think (which as I say in my other comment, isn't due to higher overall sales than other companies or platforms, but far fewer models). So it's interesting that we've gone from "Always having the best selling device" to "It sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't", even in the iphone's best market, the US...
I think a rough history from the media is:
2007: Apple sell a million in 76 days (let's forget sales of Symbian, Blackberry and even Windows Mobile)!
~2009: iphone sells more than Android! (what's Symbian?)
~2010?: Okay, Android sells more, but Apple sell more than Samsung (who are Nokia?)
2011: Okay, Samsung sell more, but the iphone is the best selling phone!
2013: For this month, in one country, the newly released iphone is the best selling phone!
And when a Samsung device reclaims the lead, mark my words, the trick will be to combine the 5S and 5C sales together as if they were one.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones! (@SuccessCase)
I still strongly suspect the Galaxy range as a while is not outselling the iPhone range for either phones or tablets, because if it was, Samsung would have found a way to publicise the story
I'm not quite sure if we're on the same page here. Worldwide Samsung is definitely selling more Galaxys than Apple is selling I-Phones - the numbers were in the 2012 results and I think there's little discussion about them. Things probably still favour Apple if you include tablets where the I-Pad still is the market leader and where Samsung is competing not only with Apple but also with Google and Amazon. Regarding larger tablets it has taken Android longer to catch up with Apple than in the 7" sector which it created.
But maybe you're referring solely to the US market? If so, then you could well be right: Apple definitely has a "home" brand bonus in the US and, as far as I understand the tariff model, seems to favour premium models through higher tariffs. There does indeed seem to be a significant and persistent difference between the USA and the rest of the world. At least in Germany the pricing seriously favours Samsung, and indicates Apple's much fatter margins. You can get an S4 (16 GB) for € 241+ tariff (from € 5 per month), an I-Phone 5s (16GB) will cost you €550 + at least € 18 a month. It's impressive that Apple is still able to command such a premium in many places but outside the US the hardware/software combination it looks increasingly tenuous.
Re: Stop press! Newer phones... @CharlieClark
WTF do you think you're playing at, trying to bring your crazy brand of rationality into this? Troll.
Sorry about that! I'll try and improve next time! :-D
Am I missing something on these charts? Like numbers? Just wondering what amounts to 'dope-slap'. Poked around the investment bank's website and looked at the CNN article, and I can't find any numbers anywhere, other than the $100/200 things, which I'm assuming are sale prices for the handsets(?)
Any chance of getting some real information?
Quite ... for all we know Apple outsold Samsung by 1 phone across the whole of the country. Hardly a "dope slap" but this is The Register after all......
Apple sells two models, and these get compared against one model of Samsung, but their portfolio is much more diversified (S4, S4 active, note, ...) and Samsung is about to release newer models so it's in a natural dip.
Re: Also...
These statistics ignore sales of the Galaxy Note, and many other Samsung phones. It seems a little devious to ignore sales of these other phones. It would be more meaningful to compare total sales of all current Samsung phones with total sales of all current Apple phones.
And the pride drop?
Why would Apple leave money on the table by dropping prices so much? On second thought, who cares? Just everyone have a price war.
new phone out sells 5 month old model in first weeks..
I think if anything Samsung should be worried about their over hyping of that new watch thingamabob, seems like pretty much nobody likes it.
Still waiting for a 64G Note 3.
Re: shocker
It's a different market but it is interesting to see how Samsung has created its own very loyal base for the Note.
"Film at 11"
Phone that just came out outsells phone that has been on the market for six months. Film at 11.
That said, I hope Samsung reverses this recent craziness of SIM locking.
Shall we all bookmark this thread
So when the Android fanbois start bleating about the new Samsung/Google phone outselling iPhone5S in a few months, we can remind them that outselling an old phone isn't a big deal?

Does not do well at cutting the smallest of brush/weeds. It basically just bend the weeds over and not cutting them. I have to slant the cutter and cut weed/brush one at a time. I have tried several different angles.......never had this problem with other cutters.

Not very good at cutting thick brush. Will probably do fine once the brush has been thinned.

It is a little unbalanced when you first start using it but smoothes our at full speed. I bought this because of a lot of brush on our new property. cuts like a knife thru butter! Handled tough thick weeds without a problem, cuts saplings up to about 3/4 to an inch with little trouble at all. Overall very happy and satisfied with it.
Chesapeake, VA

If I had a different option, I'd try it. When I first connected the brush-cutter to my trimmer, it seemed like a sloppy fit. After starting the trimmer, I realized how bad it was. The locking/release tab is smaller than the hole on my connector on my trimmer, which causes the attachment to jump a little every time you rev the trimmer. The real problem being that after this happens a few times, the attachment acts like a hammer and rotates the connector and the attachment until your brush-cutter blade is facing upward and staring you right in the face. It's managable with a little modification to the trimmer but it scared the **** out me the first time it happened and started shooting debris straight up in the air.

I purchased this cutter for my husband to go along with the pole saw and weed cutter attachments. He really enjoys using them and they are a very good quality product! I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a convertible unit. We have trails through our woods and using this cutter to go through the small saplings is awesome!

The brush cutter can knock down everything I needed including small trees.

We're working on the new Cat Face and it's been quite tricky to make some of it work so it's now going to be finished on Monday instead. Sorry about that.
Instead I've got two games for you this week and there's some great stuff in the Peepl's Stuff section, so prep yourself for a bunch o' links.
The X Spot
A nice new game by the chap/chaps/chapesses at www.pencilkids.com along the lines of Warioware.
Battalion : Skirmish
Ok. So it's a one level demo but I think this is going to be awesome. It's basically Advance Wars and that's no bad thing.
Peepl's Stuff
So many good things aproved this week. Good work people. Here's my top two.
Action Pals
Nice little game
The Test Of Doom
One of my favorite submittions so far.
I've messed up a little bit with our schedule resulting in no new cartoon this week. Next week there's probably going to be two new things for you, possibly even three but that would be silly.
So to make up for my messing up here's a game by the chaps at Armor Games called The Mind Bender.
Also in other news; you might see or hear an advert that sounds like I made it (UK only). Fact is: I did. So you don't need to email me about it saying someones stolen my work. Also I've got Webmonkey Ash working on some tweaks to the site that will reward posting to the Peepls Stuff section so keep an eye out for that too.
Due to all the moaning from people with little-to-no hand-eye coordination we've added an easy mode to the DJ Pie Safety game. The scores for the easy version are a lot lower though so if you actually want to make it onto the high score table you'll need to get good.
Cast your minds back to a day when we asked for poster and music submissions for a game, all in the name of anti knife crime. You done that? Good because now we can finally reveal the game that we done made with the things what you did.
Lady folk, and indeed, gentlemisters we can now present the DJ Pie Safety game
As you've probably noticed by all the mascot changes and banners, we've been making a game for a science and maths based game. Now.... That game is here.
Based on the winning idea by Mr Noah Wentworth, you must stop your village from being flooded by the leaking dam by flinging stuff at a giant cork in order to slow the flow (That rhymes!). Apples, cows, sheep, farmers, anything goes.
We've also been blogging about how the game was made so you can get your learn on if you wish. We'll probably also give the source code away at some point as well so you can have a play around with it yourself. We're nice like that.
Finally a big thanks to everyone who entered, not just from us but also the guys and lady-guys funding all this: DCSF.
It is a Cat Face Halloween special. Yes.
Steeds will be beheld. Verily.
Once upon a perfect peril...
So here it is! I'm starting Uni this September, and as...

Before I cooked him dinner, I also called the girl and confronted her. She told me they never slept together, but in the back of my mind I didn't know if I believed her, since I am sure she was planning this all along. I never trusted her, and Marta told me numerous times to keep an eye on her. I didn't think of her as a threat, so obviously this shows that Marta was right and I should have listened to my sister. I had a feeling she was a trouble-maker, and I'm sure that for the five years that she was working at Mynt she took advantage of their friendship and Romain's being nice to her, trying to manipulate and flirt with him. Since I am sure he told her our relationship was on the rocks, she found the perfect time to try to step in and make him feel wanted. (I am sure he told her that he doesn't feel wanted by me and she dove right in just like a typical girl that has no shame). But no matter what, this is something that will always be in the back of my mind, because if he wasn't happy and wanted to leave me, he should have broken it off with me or told me that he needed a break. Even if nothing happened, what if I didn't find the emails and it happened eventually? But I do believe the truth will come out one way or another.
During our dinner, the points Romain offered made a lot of sense. The fact he told me he wanted to leave me and tried to forget me really hurt, because no matter what obstacles I had to overcome over the last year, I never once looked at another man or even thought of going away with someone, even though I wasn't happy and had the same thoughts of leaving him. My love for him was too strong for me to let go. I understand he felt that I abandoned him last year, since I hardly ever came to Miami. I was too focused on my career, especially since a big project I had waited two years for had fallen through. It devastated me, and my relationship with Romain wasn't my priority. I will admit that I was being selfish, but at the same time I was very down and hard on myself, and I should have just let Romain be the shoulder I cried on. But instead I shut him out and pushed him away.
