KBS-MAM KAPCAI ENDURANCE RACE – ROUND 6: Y.Y. Pang Racing Wins Round 6 at Elite Speedway PLUS
As widely predicted, MOTUL Yamaha Y.Y. Pang Racing Team took top honours at Round 6 of the inaugural KBS-MAM Kapcai Endurance Race as they took opportunity of a sunny weather and dry track at Elite Speedway PLUS Circuit; putting a dominating performance on their Yamaha machine to sweep aside.
With an experienced partnership of Mohd Adid Rosley, Mohd Azhar Abdul Jalil and Mohd Izat Zaidi, the trio completed 123 laps around the twisty and challenging 959-meter track in the two-hour contest, which was watched by some 1,000 fans that included Malaysia's Moto 3 rider Muhammad Zulfahmi Khairuddin of Red Bull KTM Racing.
Second place for bikes under 150cc category was won by KKMR Racing Team with Pagoh Motocross taking third place. Both teams completed 120 laps. Despite their awesome display of speed and consistency, the MOTUL Yamaha Y.Y. Pang Racing Team quickly dismissed suggestions that they would start as favourites in the Grand Finals, which would be held at Sepang International Circuit (SIC) on February 24 and 25.
"We would not say that we are favourites … we would also not say that we are gunning for the grand title. There would be many good teams, good riders at the Grand Finals," says Mohd Adid, who acted as spokesman for the team.
"Having said that, you can expect us to do our very best … it's quite an enjoyable race; but really a true test of fitness and stamina as well as the sustaining power of our Yamaha machine. The Grand Finals will be even more challenging as it would be a four-hour endurance race," Mohd Adid said.
Team manager Y.Y. Pang expressed happiness in winning the round; and declared that his team would be going all out for the Grand Finals.
"We have a very good bike in Yamaha …. Yamaha is a very good and very reliable machine. If everything goes according to plan, no accident, no problem with machine … I believe we can do very well in the Finals," added Pang.
Class 2 for bikes under 120cc was topped by Lyhin Daris Motorsports, which managed 122 laps in an earlier race of two hours. KCS Motor took second place with 120 laps; and MM Bike Centre took third place with 118 laps. Class 1 for bikes under 100cc was won by Scud Motorsports with 97 laps. Parit Wahid Racing Club took second place with 91 laps and Pro Test Motorsports 2 completed the podium with 69 laps.
The series would now proceed to Dato' Sagor Racing Circuit in Kampung Gajah, Perak for Round 7 on January 19 and 20; before concluding the preliminary rounds in Kuala Terengganu on February 1 and 2 for Round 8. Top seven finishers in each categories would qualify for the Grand Finals. Winners of the grand finals earned automatic berths for this year's SIC Ninja 250 Cup, which in turn, provides the opportunity to be selected to race on the world stage at the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix on wildcard tickets.
Supported by Repsol, Corsa Motorcycle Tyres and Sepang International Circuit (SIC), the riders interested to enter the KBS-MAM Endurance Race can send their application forms to HYPERLINK "mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com" email@example.com

Hollywood could not have choreographed a more beautiful, dramatic entrance than the one made by Jennifer Hsu in the entryway of the Wheatleigh Hotel. Votive candles lit the outside curve of the marble staircase as Jennifer, flanked by her parents, walked down. Calm, smiling, and resplendent in a cream gown with a lace bodice and green satin sash, Jennifer looked as though there was no other place on earth, or time, than this crystal moment.
Guests had all been greeted with warm apple cider to chase off the November chill. John Todd's good friend, Dan Gien was playing the piano as everyone gathered in the lobby. The classic Italianate lines of the marble entryway were softened by the rich glow of candlelight, and the warmth of autumnal colors. Two huge planters filled with leaves stood in front of the French glass doors overlooking the patio and gardens. The sun's setting rays lit the leaves and the entire room with spectacular bursts of fiery reds, yellows and oranges.
John and Jennifer wrote their own vows, and the ceremony was performed by Justice of the Peace Eva Sheridan. Two year old Alex was the proud ringbearer. The reception began with a cocktail hour in the solarium dining room, and guests were all seated for dinner at tables named for small towns surrounding Lenox, Massachusetts. John and Jennifer's first dance was "Up on the Roof" by Carole King, and Jennifer's special dance with her father was to "Shelter in the Rain" by Stevie Wonder.
Earlier, in the afternoon of their wedding day, John and Jennifer had gone running together on the hotel's grounds. Even in the full splendor of the evening they radiated a calm happiness and that enveloped everyone. Their wedding will be remembered in warm, autumn jewel tones.

Eve Batey, formerly with the Gothamist network news site SFist and most recently with the San Francisco Chronicle*, launched new online newspaper The San Francisco Appeal a few months ago. The SF Appeal provides comprehensive coverage of local news and events, which means if you're wondering about the latest on anything to do with San Francisco, this is the place to go. Eve recently came by to talk with us about working with the Six Apart Services and Media teams to build the site and drive revenue by placing quality ads on it. Eve also shared how Movable Type will help her grow her business as she expands coverage and how it helps her team be the first to get photos online during time-sensitive events like protests and, of course, the annual Bay to Breakers extravaganza.
We'll let her tell the story. Have a look.

Following their success in winning first prize in an international competition, the architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) have been commissioned to design the new southern railway station in Hangzhou. The project involves the conversion and extension of the station in the Xiao Shan district to the south of the Qiantang River; after the eastern and main railway stations it will be the third largest railway station of this metropolis.
The design reflects the local culture, with the station building picking up elements of traditional buildings in Hangzhou: the base plinth consists of grey granite, the main building's white walls enclose the waiting room level which is framed by perforated vertical slats - a reference to the traditional Chinese window shutters.
Passengers enter the station through foyers to the east and west. The 200m-long and 18m-high waiting hall, with its free-spanning construction without columns and plentiful daylight, offers passengers easy orientation. It creates a light-flooded space and provides a unique experience for passengers upon their arrival and departure. There are escalators and lifts for passengers and visitors to descend to the total of seven platforms.

Tomorrow, Nintendo will host an all-day media event devoted to its upcoming handheld, the 3DS, and it is believed that the publisher will announce the device's specific US launch plans. Preempting that event, Majesco delivered 3DS news of its own, announcing that Pet Zombies in 3D and Face Kart: Photo Finish will be available exclusively for the glasses-free 3D-enabled handheld this fall.
As a counterpoint to Nintendo's own Nintendogs + Cats, Pet Zombies in 3D lets gamers tend and train their very own brain-gorging undead. In development at 1st Playable Productions, Pet Zombies charges gamers with looking after (or tormenting) their moribund human pets by dictating their diet, cleanliness, and activities.
Locations in Pet Zombies range from cemeteries to run-down military bases, and gamers can customize these environments with objects, backdrops, and music. Customization options also extended to the zombies themselves, altering their bodily disfigurements, degree of decay, and clothing.
Renegade Kid, which is itself known for horror titles such as Dementium: The Ward, will be lending another kart racer to the 3DS library. Titled Face Kart: Photo Finish, the 3D-enabled racer lets gamers photograph themselves and then paste the product onto an in-game avatar. Face Kart features 20 different tracks, and gamers can further customize their in-game appearance, choosing from hair, clothing, and eyewear.

Bercow Supports Hunting
The Speaker has just granted an Urgent Question on the Hunt situation, meaning that the last day of the session will be dominated by Murdoch and the Culture Secretary. This will not go down well with No.10, especially as many saw Labour's demand for a statement as over-playing their hand…
UPDATE: After failing to land a punch last week, Guido recommends that Ed has a read of this post from legal blogger David Allen Green.
UPDATE II: The statement will be at 15.30.
UPDATE III: Guido would also recommend that Ed turns Theresa May's Qatada line on it's head:
"If any of my officials made a mistake, that is my responsibility…"
This could get messy…

We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of amniotic fluid index (AFI) (<5) for adverse perinatal outcome in terms of cesarean section for fetal distress, birth weight, meconium staining, Apgar scores, and cord pH at birth.
This was a prospective study of 200 antenatal women booked at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital during the years 2009–2011 with gestational age between 34 and 41 weeks. The women's history, clinical examination recorded, and AFI were measured and the perinatal outcome was compared between two groups, i.e., AFI < 5 and >5.
The cesarean section rate for fetal distress and low birth weight babies, <2.5 kg, was higher in patients with oligohydramnios (p = 0.048, 0.001, respectively). There was no significant difference in meconium staining, Apgar score at 5 min <7, and cord pH at birth between the two groups (p = 0.881, 0.884, 0.764, respectively).
Oligohydramnios has a significant correlation with cesarean section for fetal distress and low birth weight babies.

Nothing, we remind ourselves, lasts for a lifetime. Understand this. Believe it. Then, maybe the next time we won't be so gullible. Unfortunately, once we protect ourselves from being so gullible, we easily become cynical, disillusioned, hopeless, and habitually critical. Nothing is as it is supposed to be, we tell ourselves. Why attempt to believe in anything? Nothing lasts. We need to get used to the idea.
Please don't get used to this idea. Contrary to popular belief, there are a few precious things in this world that can last a lifetime. You certainly won't find them in stores or peddled from the Internet. But they are there. You just have to know where to look for that which lasts a lifetime. Take a moment and think about what has lasted for you. Maybe your list will be similar to mine.
First, a love for nature can last a lifetime. Living in Tennessee we are especially fortunate. What better place to appreciate the beauty of nature — dogwoods, daffodils, lilies, dandelions, green grass, mountain views, colorful foliage, wildlife, mountain streams, peaceful lakes, balanced seasons.
A love that can last a lifetime — guaranteed.
Second, a love for the written word can last a lifetime. In response to a question by the famous writer and teacher C.S. Lewis, "Why do we read?" a student replied "We read to know that we are not alone."
He's right. There has been greatness before us and greatness will surely follow. Tap into this greatness by reading the great books. Dr. Seuss provides a good start. Continue until you have read the classics. They can be a teacher and a guide that will serve you all the days of your life. A love that can last a lifetime — guaranteed.
Third, a healthy love for yourself can last a lifetime. Live in such a manner you develop an unashamed conscience. There are so many choices to make, many of them difficult. Since the choices we make determine whether we are a part of the problem or a part of the solution, it's important to choose wisely. Seek the additional support of family and friends for support when the need arises. Develop a healthy love for yourself. A love that can last a lifetime — guaranteed.
Fourth, a love for great ideas can last a lifetime. As you mature, you quickly learn that small minds talk about people while great minds talk about ideas. There is a lot of trivia out there. I know this means some sorting through, but it's worth the process. There's nothing much worse than living a meaningless life invested in nothing but trivia. Choose to invest your time in ideas and projects which keep you excited and motivated. A love that can last a lifetime — guaranteed.
Fifth, a deep and wonderful sense of the life within you can last a lifetime. This can be your spiritual connection. Whether or not you recognize God's presence will depend on your perception. If you have lived the other parts of your life well, this perception will not be nearly so difficult.
But, ultimately, even with good perception, you must have faith, faith to believe that everything is not within what can be touched or tasted or felt or smelled or heard. Reach beyond yourself and within yourself. A love that can last a lifetime — guaranteed.
These are a few guarantees — guarantees which can deliver most of what life was intended to be.

We are building a (54" x 74") island in our reno'd kitchen and covering it with jet black granite (which should work nicely with the ivory fantasy granite on the existing counter tops...) To keep the look a bit subtle I don't want to go with with a shiny polished look on the black granite so am leaning towards a honed or leather finish... Maybe a bit hard to visualize this with out actually seeing the kitchen but would welcome any ideas/suggestions on the look... Also I'm particularly looking for feedback on going with a honed or leather finish (any thoughts on one compared to the other?) regarding the pluses and minuses - may be especially along the lines of showing finger prints, keeping clean etc... Much appreciated and best regards... |

I'm not sure if jet mist is the same, but here's mine in brushed finish. I have to admit that I do baby it a bit based on reports that etching is possible, but overall, we have been happy with the finish. |

My sister put in the black leather granite and she absolutely loves hers. It is quite beautiful and does not show fingerprints at all. The texture is so nice too. |
Not the same application, but FWIW, we have an AB saddle in our MB. It is honed and was enhanced/sealed with Tiger Ager. It is holding up well, and seems pretty forgiving. |
My neighbor has her AB leathered and she still shows fingerprints - but not nearly as much as the polished. They use a lot of olive oil, so I think it is hard to hide those fingerprints on anything! |

Could you be a mentor to an aspiring lawyer?
Are you interested in helping local students achieve their potential?
The School of Law Mentoring Scheme is an opportunity for law undergraduate and postgraduate students to network with legal professionals in order to find out more about the recruitment process learn from their experiences and receive feedback on CVs, etc. We match students and mentors in pairs (as far as possible) according to the expertise of the practitioner and aspirations/interests of the student for one academic year. We expect students and mentors to meet up at least twice during the academic year to discuss the student's progress but it is not intended that the scheme should be an onerous commitment for mentors. We therefore leave it to mentors and students to arrange further contact at mutually convenient times throughout the year, either by telephone, email or face-to face. There is no obligation to provide work experience - we leave this entirely to the discretion of the mentor.
If you are interested in supporting the scheme, or for more information, please contact Joanne Atkinson at the School of Law: firstname.lastname@example.com

Exercise helps us stay healthy. That's the underlying message of Go4Life, a campaign from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health, developed to encourage older people to exercise more. The campaign focuses on four exercise categories: aerobic, strength, balance, and flexibility. "We strongly encourage people to incorporate exercises from each of these four categories into developing their own personal routine," said Dr. Chanda Dutta, chief of the NIA's Clinical Gerontology Branch.

Doss bursts forth into our reality by stepping sideways from one where the 90s boom never ended - an alternate Earth of curved, shining surfaces andstrobing colours.
As a producer and singer exploring "Electronica" as a concept, Doss sidestepst the revivalist tag by reaching across genres, from trip hop and trance to liquid drum & bass and Eurodance, and warping them into something simultaneously nostalgic and futuristic. Perhaps what makes her music so vital is that she manages to avoid using her influences as obvious templates. Instead, she uses particular genre tropes as tools in a contemporary, almost EDM, context; a place where the synth melodies of Crystal Waters and Love, Inc. coexist with the slinking shuffle of LTJ Bukem and Fabio. Doss makes bold, emotional pop music that bursts with imagination. But beyond the sheen there is a complex fragility reminding us that glossy fantasies are just as interesting for their subtext..
Crawling Up The Stairs is the second LP from Austin, Texas' Pure X. Made up of principal members Nate Grace, Jesse Jenkins and Austin Youngblood, they stay true to the dense sound they explored on their last album, Pleasure, but add twinkling atmospherics and a new clarity to their carefully cultivated, emotionally heavy songs.
Where Pleasure was built on syrup-slow hooks and a weighty, sexy haze, Crawling Up The Stairs is the sound of Pure X emerging from that humid cocoon to stare all the screwed up parts of life directly in the face and embrace them. When Grace's voice, cracked and worn, breaks through a fog of downtempo drums and misty guitar on "Someone Else," the pain that used to be visible in his face when he was on stage is pushed to the forefront of their sound, his voice growling and moaning with barely contained anger and apocalyptic worry in anguished falsetto. Crawling isn't a record about escape, it's about what you do after you've realized that escaping isn't an option and you just have to face the world you live in head on.
How To Dress Well is the stage name of songwriter and producer Tom Krell. Combining a gorgeous falsetto with fractured R&B-influenced beats, an instinctive ear for subtly devastating melody and elements of noise, sound collage and avant-garde composition, Krell's debut album Love Remains offered a beautiful window into a startlingly realized artistic imagination.
Praised for both its conceptual strength and immediate emotional resonance, Love Remains duly garnered vast critical acclaim and saw Krell accredited with having given birth to a new, narcotized strain of R&B. This fall will see him share this new body of work with the release of Total Loss, his new album.
Whereas his previous work was a study of love in its darkest hour, Total Loss is an attempt to find one's way out of darkness, even when there seems to be no light ahead. Co-produced by Rodaidh McDonald (the XX), the album retains many of the elements of Love Remains; noisiness, moodiness, and layers of swarming voices. Now these stand alongside other complex elements: the elegant weeping arcos and pizzicatos of neo-classical music, the rude drums of trap-rap, and the sweet, special and sentimental moments of Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope are all swept up and embraced in the deep beauty of Total Loss.
Estasy is the musical alias of Rome, Italy-based installation and performance artist Emiliano Maggi. After a few cassettes and CD-Rs, Estasy is releasing its full-length debut, Wild Songs, on Acéphale (SALEM, Elite Gymnastics, How To Dress Well).
Wild Songs doesn't sound like anything else, but it contains echoes from disparate sources. The first thing you'll notice is Maggi's voice, which has the range and timbre of an Italian Coloratura singer. Unlike many of today's high-octave singers, this is not a falsetto; it's a soprano. Sometimes it appears stark and alone, sometimes buried underneath ghostly vocal overdubs.
Wild Songs has a haunting quality that derives spiritually from Maggi's recording process. All but three tracks on the album were recorded en plein air: amongst nature in fields and woods. The sounds of wind and nature, and Maggi's tape recorder, blend into his spectral soprano to create a mythological world that modern civilization can no longer see, but which through acts of the imagination we might be able to hear.
The result is something like Alan Lomax's field recordings trapped in Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Reference points include the Nordic folk music traditions currently being kept alive by acts such as Dvergmål, the sublime other-worlds given birth to by Sigur Rós's made up language, and most notably the proto-gothic funereal dirge of Nico's post-Chelsea Girls trilogy.
Elite Gymnastics is the project of Minneapolis-based James Brooks and Josh Clancy. Rooted in a diverse set of influences, the duo makes music that is informed by Korean pop, heavy noise, and the world of media that surrounds them. Rather than sound scattered, it's filtered through a sense of resigned melancholy, paired with lyrics that grapple with what it means to stumble through life wondering what you're supposed to do with yourself. They are brutally honest, but never really cynical.
After building a series of online only releases, Brooks and Clancy completed the gorgeous Ruin 1 and 2, a pair of distinct EPs combined as RUIN on this release. On Ruin 1, the duo jumps genres effortlessly: the slow throb of "Omamori" gives way to the jungle-influenced "Here, in Heaven" before switching gears entirely for the driving shoegaze of "Little Things." Ruin 2 is a blurred version of Ruin 1's clarity, flipping the songs into contemplative mirrors of the originals. Clancy and Brooks are effortless synthesists, informed as much by their impeccable taste as they are by their ability to suck in the world of music and the internet and spit it back as open-hearted beauty.
After their introduction to the world through the singles The Truest Faith and Honey Mine the partnership of Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (also of The Radio Dept) presents its debut album, An Album By Korallreven. The project was conceived after Joons returned from an extended trip to Samoa where he found inspiration in the local choirs. Mesmerized by the South Pacific and the exhilaration of travel, he shared his newfound passion with Tjäder and a partnership was born.
The result is a journey through influences as far flung as Southern Rap, Dreampop, Reggae, and Minimal Techno, among many others. The glittering production focuses on melodic evolution rather than structure; lush, dubbed-out instrumentals (Loved-Up) perfectly complement trance-pop vocal cuts (Keep Your Eyes Shut & Comin' Closer).
Joining the duo are a host of collaborators including Victoria Bergsman and Julianna Barwick. Bergsman, who contributed her dulcet vocals to Honey Mine, returns with the swirling meditation of Pago Pago and the anthemic As Young As Yesterday. With Samoan choirs being a major influence on the record, who would be better to enlist than Julianna Barwick? Here, her loop-based vocal soundscape on Sa Sa Samoa builds from a choir of one to an ecstatic eruption.
After their introduction to the world through The Truest Faith and Honey Mine Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (also of The Radio Dept) return with their third single, As Young As Yesterday.
Returning for her second collaboration with the duo is Victoria Bergsman who previously contributed her dulcet tones to Honey Mine. As Young triumphs with glittering bombast - a true Balearic anthem. Cascading 808 fills mingle with steely acoustic guitar and chipmunked vocals while deep kettledrums and pulsing strings balance things out. It's a glorious celebration of Summer's fade, a song that looks forward by glancing back.
Animal Collective's Panda Bear, fresh off the tremendous success of Person Pitch, delivers a reinterpretation that is at times frenetic and jarring, and at others meditative and soothing. London's Girl Unit revisits the pitched vocals and builds a sprawling epic that erupts into a throbbing payoff before subsiding to begin anew. Finally, the Korallreven boys wrap things up with a massive expansion of their original ? an evolving, layered rhythm section lays the foundation for ecstatic builds of shimmering, hazy synths.
As Young is the latest single off of Korallreven's debut album, An Album By Korallreven, out this November on Acéphale.
Pure X is the latest incarnation of a long-standing collaboration between Austin, Texas musicians and friends Nate Grace, Jesse Jenkins and Austin Youngblood. Acéphale is proud to present their debut album, Pleasure, released July 5th in the US and worldwide August 22nd.
Looseness is a key concept for the band, and all songs were recorded live without overdubbing. The aspiration was to capture songs in their purest form, mistakes and all, as they were being written. This process allowed the songs to form themselves; structure and formula lost their rigidity as songwriting became more about evolution than intent.
Patient, sparse and never any less than heartbreaking, the clutch of songs making up Pleasure has a sonic originality that many artists spend entire careers trying to cultivate. There are clear influences here: the nonchalant bombast of the Jesus and Mary Chain, the wistful croon of Hank Williams and the lovesick melodies of 1960s soul music can all be easily perceived within the group's work to date. Crucially, however, Pure X do not let their reverence for such precedents overwhelm them. So where other lo-fi fetishists currently garnering attention tend to produce a facsimile of their inspirations, Grace, Jenkins and Youngblood dissect, invert and damage them.
Porcelain Raft is the nom de plume of one Mauro Remiddi, Rome native, music/video mastermind and purveyor of some of the most exquisite, haunting and heartbreaking love songs you're likely to hear in a good long while. Unsurprisingly, for someone who started off in music scoring short films, the world of Porcelain Raft traverses deeply evocative and emotive terrain, gorgeously redolent of moments lingering just on the fraying edges of time and memory.
Together, these tracks serve to announce Porcelain Raft as an important new name to watch, and, as anybody who has caught him live recently (supporting the likes of Blonde Redhead on their recent European tour or at several showcase at CMJ 2010) will attest, a beautifully compelling live act as well.
Pure X is the latest incarnation of a long-standing collaboration between Austin, Texas musicians and long-term friends Nate Grace, Jesse Jenkins and Austin Youngblood. Acephale and Light Lodge are proud to present their latest EP, You're In It Now, with a special first pressing on black and white blended vinyl.
Bound to its influences only by its golden melody and bruised sentiment, the music of Pure X is a genuine, unafraid and honest foray into the emotive and redemptive potential of pop music; an endeavor that captures perfectly its indefinable ability to captivate and devastate in equal measure..
After their introduction to the world with Loved-Up and its follow-up The Truest Faith, Korallreven continue to bring the Balearic hits with new single Honey Mine. This time around Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (also of The Radio Dept) enlist the sublime Victoria Bergsman (Taken By Trees, The Concretes), whose distinctive voice brings a bittersweet gravity to an otherwise upbeat production. What could be a more fitting Valentine's release than wallowing in the melancholy of a fading love?
This online only remix package includes the vinyl B-Side reinterpretation by fellow Swede Dan Lissvik, most notably of Studio. Lissvik's instrumental remix lightens the mood a little, but the soft sadness of the original remains. Canadian duo Memoryhouse take the track into dreampop territory ? with just a little bit of echo Bergsman's vocals go full-on 4ad. Toronto's Nacho Lovers stray from their usual classic house template to bring the dub with their version, evoking Carly Simon's Balearic classic, "Why." Finally, Korallreven close out the EP by revisiting their own production with cellist in tow ? ramping up a massive build that climaxes in shimmering glory.

What faction do you will choose in Shaiya? Alliance of Light or Union of Fury? Take your decission and fight for one of the goddess in the different difficult modes but be careful, because your character can die forever.
Star Alliances
Star Alliances
Dark Sky Entertainment, the company behind the new MMORTS named Beyond Protocol, has just unleashed yet another revolutionary experience to the masses. Its name is Star Alliances.
Star Alliances gives the player massive amounts of customization with the ability to jump into the midst of interstellar war instantly, for FREE (more on the FREE part later). There are similarities between Star Alliances (SA) and Beyond Protocol (BP), but they are very different games. Unlike BP, SA focuses more on the intensity of fighting for supremacy, and less on the complex strategy of building an empire. However, much like BP, SA takes place in a galaxy with hundreds of environments in which war can rage simultaneously. Environments range from any of the 8 planet types and 5 planet sizes, to the orbit above those planets, to the very center of any of the 100+ star systems, to the cold outer reaches of space.
Allow me, DSEs Diplomat, to walk you through the basic actions that compose SA, a game that can most accurately be described as a Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Tactical (MMORTT).
The game begins by choosing one of three factions, the Legion of Systems, the Unification Alliance, or the Galactic Confederacy. Each faction comes with its own premise of governance, basic hull designs, and region of space inside the SA galaxy.
After choosing a side, the player is taken to the home system for the chosen faction, and presented with a window summarizing research, production, and deployment options for their units.
Research in SA is based heavily on combat, mainly because research costs influence and influence is gained only by destroying enemy ships. The more and bigger the ships destroyed by the player, the easier it is for them to design a behemoth or sleek set of corvettes of their own.
The 10 different resources in the game are collected automatically, and directly relate to the different components in the game (engine, radar, weapons, etc.). The factions home system provides a steady and secure flow of resources, but by branching out into contestable systems, higher accumulation rates can be achieved. From these minerals, custom buildings, ships, and tanks can be made.
Deploying units to the action is made easy, by allowing the player to place them in any system linked to the factions main system. Wormholes are the main method of transit in SA. So long as the players faction (one of three in the game) controls the wormholes which connect, units can be placed in that system instantly. Intense battles can form very quickly where these control points intersect.
The number of ships a player can control at one time is determined both by technology level and prowess in battle. As technology level increases, so does the basic number of units and buildings that player can create, represented by Command Points (CP). Prowess is rewarded by experience points gained in battle on a per unit basis. With as much as a 10:1 reduction in CP requirements per unit, superior tactics are very much a necessity in domination.
Community is also a cornerstone of any MMO, and SA does not disappoint. A friend list keeps track of who is online and how high they rank. An alert system allows players to place markers with text, arrows, and other symbols in various colors to better communicate a winning strategy. Of course a full chat and mailing system are included as well. The mail can even be sent out of game to an email address or SMS capable mobile device.
Well this all might sound incredible, but I know that somewhere in your mind you are thinking, He said I can play for FREE? I certainly did, and heres how. Trial accounts in SA never expire. They can be played 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year just like a paid account. However, of course there is a catch or two. The first day a trial account is registered, that account is given 2 hours of play time. After that first day, each subsequent day the account is given 1 hour to play. Additionally, access to higher technology, like corvettes, destroyers, and battleships, is restricted making fighters and escorts the mainstay for trial accounts. However, trial accounts have the same front row seat to the carnage that paid accounts do, perhaps only with smaller guns. The time limit should fit most any casual gamers daily allotment, but should you need more, a one time subscription can be bought at any time.
Well? What are you waiting for? Go to www.Star-Alliances.com and start downloading WHILE you register! Tell em that Diplomat sent you, and theyll treat you right!

My goal as an photographer is to translate what I see and feel into something that evokes a response from you, the viewer. This doesn't always require an exact reproduction of what I see in front of me, therefore you will find many abstract and altered reality images in my galleries. My subjects vary but I love night photography and abstracts. While travelling I use a digital SLR Canon Rebel to document my experiences. I also LOVE getting visitors from all over the world. Please say hi if you have time, and if you like what you see, use the little buttons below the photos as often as you want....vote, stumble, and tweet!

We have no doubt that once you meet this sweetie pie that you'll be smitten.

Other Pets at Associated Humane Societies
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Konga, a Tinton Falls Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Tinton Falls, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) dog from a breeder in Tinton Falls.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tinton Falls already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tinton Falls breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tinton Falls paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bedford-Stuyvesant, generally referred to as Bed-Stuy, is the larger of New York City's two major black communities. It is bordered by Flushing Avenue on the north, Broadway and Saratoga Avenue on the east, Atlantic Avenue on the south and Classon Avenue on the west. Bed-Stuy is in Brooklyn Community District 3.
The neighborhood name is derived from the joining of two 19th-century middle-income communities: Bedford to the west and Stuyvesant Heights to the east. The woodlands of Bedford were purchased in the mid-1600s by the Dutch West Indies Company from the Canarsee Indians, and the land was used as a farming village inhabited by Dutch farmers and black slaves.
Over the years, farmland was gradually divided into housing lots. By 1873, the population had reached 14,000, and included Irish, Germans, Jews, Scots, Dutch and free blacks. Further growth was spurred in the 1880s by the opening of the elevated railway and then the Brooklyn Bridge; by 1920, the population had grown to 45,000.
In 1936, the subway system reached Bedford-Stuyvesant. Soon thereafter, blacks, including recent Caribbean immigrants, became the dominant group of residents. In 1968, the area's residents elected Shirley Chisolm, the first black woman to serve in the U.S. Congress.
Bed-Stuy is a stable and moderate-income community, with tree-lined blocks of literally hundreds of well-kept brownstone, brick and masonry townhouses, many of distinguished architectural quality. The area contains several historic districts and many landmark public buildings.
The southern and western portions of Bed-Stuy have some particularly fine architectural properties. Brevoort Place, south of Fulton Street between Franklin and Bedford Avenues, for example, features a full block of handsome brownstones in excellent condition, complete with original architectural details. Note also the three blocks on Jefferson Avenue between Nostrand and Throop Avenues for fine examples of Renaissance Revival brownstones built in the 1870s.
More than 2,290 middle-income homes are currently under construction or have been recently completed in the greater Bed-Stuy area, and the neighborhood homeownership rate is 20 percent.
The Saratoga Square Urban Renewal Project accounts for a major portion of new housing development in the community. Encompassing a 30-block area in Bed-Stuy and the adjoining Oceanhill/Brownsville neighborhood, the nine phases of Saratoga Square will provide a total of 1,240 residential units in a combination of newly constructed two- and three-family homes and condominium units in rehabilitated apartment buildings. All phases have been completed and the properties sold, with the exception of the final parcel of 8 two-family homes.
Bed-Stuy hosts many seasonal events: the Fulton Avenue Fair, which runs for three consecutive weekends in June and July; the International African Arts Festival in July; the Brownstones of Bed-Stuy House Tour in October; and the Weeksville Family Festival in August.

"It would always be strangers like them, at the various Cat's Tables of my life, who would alter me...",
By Friederike Knabe "Books are funny little port... (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Hardcover)
In his new novel, The Cat's Table, Michael Ondaatje imagines a young boy's three-week sea voyage across the oceans, from his home in Colombo, Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) to England. Surprisingly, the eleven-year-old travels alone and is, not surprisingly, allocated to the "lowly" Cat's Table, where he joins an odd assortment of adults and two other boys of similar age. In the voice of young "Michael", Ondaatje shares the boys' adventures on the ship with charming immediacy, while an older, adult "Michael" looks over his shoulder, first hardly noticeable, and later, more and more directly reflecting on his own recollections and more. Are we reading a childhood memoir of sorts, a coming-of-age story, a personal journey into the past? Are we reading fact or fiction? May be, all of it. The parallels to the author's life are easily spotted: a childhood in Ceylon, a nineteen fifties journey by ship from there to England... Other parallels to the author's life come into view in the course of the book. Also, Ondaatje suggests in the first pages: "I try to imagine who the boy on the ship was..." In the Author's Note (at the end of the book) Ondaatje is as clear and opaque as can be. If you don't want to know, don't look at the end and discover the journey as it unfolds.
Young Michael and his two new friends, Cassius and Ramadhin, become soon inseparable. They freely roam the huge ship, exploring any nook and cranny they can get into, especially during nights. Cassius is the rambunctious, Ramadhin, the cautious, more reasonable one, conscious of his "weak heart". Michael describes himself as a "follower". The men at the Cat's Table, astutely observed by young Michael, while distinct in personality and behaviour, share, nonetheless, their curiosity for the happenings on the ship - one could call theirs "the gossip table" - and, more importantly, they each provide some kind of "life lesson" for the boys, be it in history, music, literature or biology. The most intriguing passenger at the table, however, is Miss Lasqueti, who appears to have insider knowledge of a very different kind. From time to time, they are joined by seventeen-year-old, beautiful and "mysterious" Emily, a distant cousin of Michael's. Given her "higher social standing" and her placement in the dining room, she can contribute intriguing news for any evolving "story". She knows, for example, much about the dangerous, heavily guarded, prisoner, who the boys have noticed during their nighttime adventures. Of course, Emily also has her secret encounters at night, overheard by Michael hiding in a lifeboat... For the first half or so of the novel, I am simply charmed by the descriptions of the boys' hilarious or risky escapades on the ship as it moves across the Indian Ocean towards the Suez Canal. We explore the ship's "world" through a child's eyes. The episodes, told more like independent vignettes than in a contiguous narrative, succeed, nonetheless, in carrying our curiosity forward: they captures the atmosphere on ship, provide personality capsules of passengers or crew, and details of their various activities. Once closer to land, we are offered glimpses into the varying landscapes and port cities. While Michael's journey is depicted with gentleness and often lyrical descriptions, something seems to be missing in terms of the story's overall meaning and depth - at least for me. But soon enough, like entering a new section in the book, the voice of the adult Michael takes on a more prominent role. He drops hints how different episodes or people might be connected; he starts asking questions about the veracity of what we have been told, pondering the reliability of his long-term memory... And, most engagingly, Ondaatje, while continuing to remain within the overall three-week time span of the journey, now leaves it with ease to reveal aspects of past and future of several of the central characters. These mental excursions - relating to Emily, Miss Lasqueti, Ramadhin, etc. and, last but not least, the prisoner - help us fill in gaps within earlier descriptions of episodes during the voyage. They also add an integrating layer to the narrative that I had been hoping for. Finally, they bring us also closer to the adult Michael. It is only later in life that he realizes the journey's importance as "a rite of passage"; a journey that formed him in more ways than he has acknowledged for a long time. In hindsight he can give voice to an emotion that he experienced then and many times since as he grew into an adult as "a desire that is a mixture of thrill and vertigo." Emily, when he meets her again, much later, has the better phrase for what affected them: "We all became adults before we were adults." In the end, it does not matter anymore - at least to me - whether this book is a novel or a memoir/autobiography. It is a beautifully rendered story of growing up and living with the memories of youth. The novel's language, the tone, the images and the tender approach to his subject suggest that this is probably Ondaatje's most personal and intimate novel in many years. [Friederike Knabe]

More Bookish Thoughts...,
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Hardcover)
I willingly admit that Michael Ondaatje's novels do not rank among my favourites; I found "The English Patient" melodramatic, "Anil's Ghost" tedious and "In The Skin of a Lion" only barely engaging. However, when a Canadian literary icon releases a new and critically acclaimed novel, I have to jump on the bandwagon so as not to miss out.
During a recent interview, Ondaatje quipped that the story line of "The Cat's Table" consists of, "A boy [Michael] getting on a boat...and getting off a boat." Fortunately, the plot develops beyond such a reduction. On a 1950s voyage from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to England, the reader meets three young boys who, free from adult guardians, find opportunities to spy, assist in burglary, smoke unknown substances, and speculate on human behavior. A slew of eccentrics join these boys at their dining table, sharing world knowledge and personal stories: a tailor, a botanist, a burned-out pianist, a retired ship junker and a mysterious spinster. A chained murderer, a deaf girl, an upper-class woman who largely neglects her role as Michael's caretaker and Michael's comely cousin complete the novel's cast of skillfully manipulated and mysterious characters. Each personality harbours secrets, which emerge both on board the Oronsay and during the flash-forwards that dominate the book's latter half. I have always revered Ondaatje as a poet for he has an incredible ability to manipulate the intricacies of space and time. This skill shines in "The Cat's Table," producing a spare yet lucid story that engages the reader's intellect. The storyline moves fluidly while the author leaves enough unsaid for his audience to play an active role in piecing together his puzzle.

Memories as fluid as an ocean,
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Hardcover)
Michael Ondaatje's admirers await his books with patient anticipation. In return, Ondaatje crafts works such as The Cat's Table, one of those rare literary achievements that combines page-turning storytelling with perfectly shaped prose. Each word and each scene has been chosen with care, and the book comes together in a harmony of ideas, memories, and narratives.
I say narratives because The Cat's Table encompasses many stories: in its seemingly straightforward telling of a boy's 21 days on a ship bound from Sri Lanka to England, its deeply complex characters offer glimpses of chance encounters and intermingled lives. The book is a palimpsest, the story of an 11-year-old boy named Michael, told by his older self who happens to be a well-known writer, written by Michael Ondaatje, who includes a disclaimer that while he took a similar trip as a boy, this work is purely fictional. These three Michaels intersect with one another in a memory play seen through the lens of the ship. The language and reflections are mature: this is the understanding only an adult can bring when he looks back at himself years later, trying to come to grips with how the smallest of actions can ripple through many lives over many years. The titular Cat's Table is the opposite of the Captain's Table, the least prestigious spot in the dining room. The characters who gather around it pass through young Michael's shipbound existence, from his two contemporaries who raise hell with him all over the ship to the adults at the table. You get the sense that an entire novel could be devoted to any one of these subsidiary characters, even though they figure in only small ways in Michael's story. Without ever belabouring a description, Ondaatje fills the reader's world with the sights, sounds, and smells of the ship and the ports it slips through. He also inverts the idea of the ship as a closed-off setting, creating a wonderland with myriad decks and enough forbidden places to keep a gang of three boys busy for weeks. It is peopled by ailing millionaires, live pigeons, unseen violinists, and the prisoner, a mysterious figure whose close-guarded nightly walks become a focal point for the boys, giving their days structure and their imaginations fodder. And there is always the sense that there is more to see, more to hear and overhear, than anything Michael and his friends can comprehend. Memory and time are as fluid as the ocean the ship traverses, a moment in childhood with momentum but no fixed address. The narrative is overall a linear one, starting at the beginning of the journey, ending when the Oronsay arrives in England, but this is also a collection of stories. As the older Michael reflects on a particular character, events jump forward in time, following that character's interaction with Michael throughout the years before looping back to pick up where we left off on the ship. We arrive at the end of the book a little wiser, a little changed, just as the characters at the Cat's Table are. Without falling into the triteness of a typical coming-of-age story, The Cat's Table offers a refined, note-perfect journey of how three weeks can alter the course of lives. I genuinely cared for these people and their misadventures, and when it was time to depart for other shores, I was left hoping that I would run into them again. ~*~ Like this excerpt?

This review is from: The Cat's Table (Hardcover)
I have always admired Michael Ondaatje's writing and this time out is no exception. The Cat's Table took me back to my Atlantic Crossing en route to England (from Canada) in 1960; the book revived scenes from my own voyage that sprang back to life for me as young Mynah (fearful and fearless) traveled over, around, above- and belowdecks on the Oronsays, en route to England. For me, any piece of writing that, because of its essential truth, becomes personal to the reader in the course of its narrative is writing of the highest order. Ondaatje's ability to craft a novel that weaves multiple strands from other lives into that of his central character is peerless. Everything feels inevitable, appropriately placed. Years after the fact, I still recall moments from The English Patient or Anil's Ghost. I applaud and envy the texture of the writing and the circularity of this narrative. I will now, for a long time to come, be recalling moments from The Cat's Table too. This is a book not to be missed.

A wonderful adventure!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful tale that unwinds itself at a leisure pace and packs a wallop ending which I won't tell). Based on the real event of Ondaatje's own travel from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) to England when he was a young boy, the tale centers around a young boy called Michael traveling to see his mother after years of absense (Ondaatje does point outbthat most of the events and characters were made up). The Cat's Table refers to the table the boy and his companions are positioned to eat at which includes two other boys, his older cousin, a musician down on his luck, a botanist and an eccentric woman who wears a jacket for her pigeons. Quite the cast. As the tale unravels there is more here that meets the eye - enter a band of circus performers, a mute girl and a prisoner who is kept below decks and two policemen to watch the prisoner. Something seems a miss?
Ondaatje marvelously weaves the tale by first telling us about the journey and then jumps to the future explaining what has happened to various lead characters. Then one grasps that our Michael is searching for clues about an event that happens during that journey. He does so easily that the travel tale becomes a mystery without myself realizing it and yet it is a reflection about the last vestiges of childhood that occurred on that trip. Like Liesl Schillinger's review in the New York Times, I too was awed by the ease and depth of the story. A truly enjoyable read.

A rather boring story...,
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Kindle Edition)
The comments on the book jacket would make you expect a brilliant, engaging and entertaining story. I don't get it. The first half of the book is mostly very boring. In the second half, the author finally gets to the intrigue about the prisoner on board of the ship and things pick up but only a little. The book is mostly about the recollection of the rather mundane adventures of a young 11 years old boy who travels on a boat from Sri Lanka to England to go to school in the early 1950s. The authors uses a lot of space to sketch the background of some of the passengers with whom the boy interacts. Some of them are quite eccentric but, since there isn't much of a plot supporting their involvement, I found it rather boring to read about the various characters. The long letter from one of the passengers (Ms. Lasqueti) which is included towards the end of the book is so pointless (nicely written, of course, but so improbable) - what a waste of space. The boy's adventures are not "wild"; the intrigue is not "galvanizing"; this was not a "joy to read" and certainly not "the most compelling novel"... I kept reading this book only because I was at the cabin and had nothing else to read. Clearly, I wasn't the intended audience for this book. I give it 2 out of 5 stars - bad.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Kindle Edition)
but...boring. Sorry, maybe that`s just me, but I found this book extremely slow. I am a voracious reader, and just finished a 700 page war saga that was captivating, so perhaps my tastes don't transfer to a story about, in the words of the author, "A boy [Michael] getting on a boat...and getting off a boat." Even the unusual setting and the interesting mob of characters didn't do it for me. Sorry, Mr. Ondaatje. I'm not your audience. But don't fret. There are thousands out there who will disagree with me.

A Richly Woven Coming-of-Age Tale with Vivid Characters and Hidden Depths,
By Donald Mitchell "Jesus Loves You!" (Thanks for Providing My Reviews over 124,000 Helpful Votes Globally) - See all my reviews (#1 HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Hardcover)
"Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall," -- Isaiah 40:30 (NKJV) It's easy to mistake this novel for an autobiography. That's how good it is. Michael Ondaatje deals with perspective in this story, taking as his starting point the awareness of an eleven-year-old boy on a sea voyage from Colombo to be reunited with his mother in England. In such circumstances, the boy is on the bottom of the social ladder that always seems overly important on board a ship. The book's title refers to his status as one of those assigned to the dining table furthest from the Captain's table, which is, of course, the acme of social status. The cat's table, by comparison, is at the outer edges of civilization. Due to finding two boys he can pal around with, the boy's days and nights are filled with adventures. They probe into places that adults easily overlook or disdain to consider. As a result, they spot subtle dramas at odd hours that grab their attention. Their adult companions at the cat's table are harder for the boys to figure out. However, any gestures of sympathy and friendship are quickly grasped and enjoyed. It's a more perilous voyage than one might imagine, as youthful pranks and escapades sometimes have important consequences. In a few places, Mr. Ondaatje moves forward into the future to reveal "what happened next" to add shadows and dimensions to the relationships among the characters on board. These sections felt a bit awkward to me by adding a little too much intrusion into the main story's pacing and timing. The plot may seem a bit over the top to some. I disagree. I thought the plot's scale was necessary in order to explore the book's fundamental focus on the limitations of perception and perspective. The Cat's Table certainly rewards a close reading of the novel as you go. There's an element of a mystery story here that you need to pay attention to in order to fully enjoy the story on the first reading. Yes, this book deserves at least a second reading. You'll marvel at the author's skill when you do. It's most impressive. When was the last time you read a novel that demanded an immediate rereading? It's all too infrequent in my experience. Bravo!

The Cat's Table,
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Hardcover)
I chose this book for my book club. It was generally very well accepted, as a beautifully written and clever book on many levels. We are next going to read "Half-blood Blues" and examine why it won the Giller over "The Cat's Table".
4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting characters,
This review is from: The Cat's Table (Paperback)
I loved the story of Michael's voyage on the Oronsay. The characters were well-written, quirky, and believable. The story could actually have been longer...I would have loved to have known more about Emily, Cassius, and Ramadin's lives after their voyage together as youths.

Ami: I am already anticipating going into a deep depression when this season of "Here Comes Honey Boo" ends. I can feel it coming. And I can't even bare to think of it. But we still have episodes to discuss and they are still mind-blowing, heart warming and disgusting all at once. I am going to skip the heart warming stuff where Alana and Sugar Bear go on a father/daughter outing to the skating rink and Alana sells lemonade to raise money for her next pageant (collective Awwwwwww), and get into the gizzards of the episode. Prepare yourself for smell breaths and more after the jump.
The girls take a trip to the local convenience store. And when I say local, I mean 100 feet from the Boo Boo house. Alana likes to turn backflips and try on goggles. But the Boo Boo who's most at home there is Pumpkin. She likes to show up there "Bamm-Bamm" style as manager Donta with the flavorful grill puts it. That means she goes barefoot. Our very own Amelia likes to do everything Bamm-Bamm style. This really is her spirit family.
Amelia took over writing this recap because Ami had to go to a bris.
Amelia: The family is sitting around discussing Kaitlyn's imminent birth from Chickadee's "moon pie." I'm unclear on whether there is a difference between a moon pie and a biscuit, by the way. Chickadee has just been to the doctor and had her cervix stretched and she's three centimeters dilated now, which June attempts to illustrate with her fingers while Alana looks on. Alana is pretty sure giving birth is disgusting and I have to agree that it sure sounds that way from Mama June's description.
The Boo Boos like to get creative with their leisure activities and have invented a game called "Guess Whose Breath?" in which one person wears a blindfold and has to guess whose breath is being blown in their face. The Boo Boos all seem to be pretty good at guessing, which makes me think they each have their own distinct "fragrance." According to Alana, Chubbs breath smells like "A-S-S" (probably because she only brushes her teeth on special occasions) while Pumpkin's smells like "booty boo." Must be nuances to the top notes. I wonder whether they would be impressed with the game I used to play with my cousins as a kid. Hmm, maybe we should play "Guess Whose Breath?" at our next Frisky party. Looks like fun! Chickadee, by the way, has such a good time that she pees a little on June's couch. June is not amused.
"Guess Whose Breath?" is probably less fun after the Boo Boos have had sketti for dinner. Sketti is June's specialty. This dish consists of sketti (that's spaghetti) mixed with butter and ketchup. Redneck marinara, obviously. You may be shocked to learn that June does not really enforce table manners in her house. But maybe that's because they eat on the couch not at the table. Anyway, I'm kind of curious about what sketti tastes like, but not enough to actually buy ketchup and butter and bastardize Italian cuisine. I'll just take the Boo Boos' word for it that it's delicious.
