Soak in the sun or unwind on the beach while you enjoy a host of aquatic thrills from wind-surfing to canoeing. For a spine-tingling adventure, try parasailing to enjoy the view of the beach from the sky. As the sun sets, Batu Ferringhi comes alive with a carnival-like atmosphere with an open-air bazaar selling anything from ornate curios to enticing souvenir items.

dont know if you question was specifically for david but i have the blaze and out of the box it needed 2 clicks or so right trim, the airframe was straight, and it uses some sort of flexible white adhesive. not terribly strong or sticky. easy to peel off.

Thanks to those who have replied. Like Johnwohl only a couple of clicks and the Blaze was right. I'll have a look at the gluing but no problems I can see other than that I felt the Tail end could have been a little too flexible from side to side. This was solved by running a length of 18mm glass strapping the full length of the fus' and around the end. So far no problems.
As for the Blizzard this is a different ball of wax. It is distinctly intended to run with more power and faster. Because of this I'm sure anyone who has been interested will know of the strapping "upgrade" that Multiplex recommend to increase rigidity. This is one of the first times I can recall of such an upgrade to one of their aircraft (maybe I'm wrong) but although I know of a couple of Blizzard fliers both show some respect during flight. At the price here in Oz I feel that if considering more of a speed beast I think I'd pay the little extra price a buy warmliner glass from the get go. |

I agree with david. The Blizzard is a different plane. It's a bit smaller I think but more importantly, it's got a lot more reinforcement in the form of fiberglass wire embedded in multiple places (which I hear is quite tedious to put in). Also the recommended multiplex power pack seems like it would make the Blizzard quite a zippy aircraft indeed. Not to mention the price all up is quite a bit more than these planes.

I'm trying to fix it this evening. If it doesn't come together nicely, I'll be hunting for spare parts. I seem to have a persistent problem with depth-perception. |
Feb 18, 2013, 02:29 AM | |
Ha! I'd like to take a chainsaw to it, but the plane got its own revenge. It was moving so fast (bottom of a power dive) that it broke off branches on its way through. When I went to pick it up, I had to pull them from its wings.
It's past midnight now... and I work tomorrow... but it's all fixed! The wing is looking a little "seasoned", but the fuse looks surprisingly good (considering the nose was drooping about 45 degrees when I first found it). Powered up, tested, and ready for another round -- that is one tough airframe. |

Bobby Jindal issued a public health emergency for the entire state.
The executive order says, quote:
"The state continues to experience widespread flooding in certain areas, has issued more than 200 water boil advisories, and lost over 40% of electrical power statewide for an extended amount of time."
so what does this mean?
This means the executive order went on to explain that a declaration of public health emergency is necesssary to allow federal, state, and local governments to go on private property.
That allowance is so they can assess and remove any nuisance debris that poses a health hazard.
This public health emergency was a request by the secretary of the Department Of Health And Hospitals and the state health officer.
The emergency will last one month unless terminated sooner.

US officials say PRISM surveillance program helped prevent terrorist plots in more than 20 countries
Posted By Briley Kenney On June 18, 2013 @ 11:05 AM In General Tech,World Wide Web | 6 Comments
US intelligence officials sent Congress a document over the weekend in regards to recently discovered PRISM mass surveillance program [2]. The Senate Intelligence Committee made the document public in an attempt to explain the massive government data collection program which was recently uncovered.
According to the Associated Press, the intelligence officials hope to "show Americans the value of the program." As such, they've clearly outlined that the program obtained through what we now know as PRISM, helped agencies prevent terrorist plots in more than 20 different countries. In addition, the phone metadata that was so openly discussed in another leak, was only searched less than 300 times within the database. Furthermore, the metadata records can only be examined for "suspected connections to terrorism." In case you're wondering, those records contain information like call times, and duration.
Information collected through PRISM must be deleted after five years, and the programs are reviewed every 90 days by a secret court. The court proceedings are apparently authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
For more information on the situation be sure to check out the source link below.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:It's definitely a DS, the OS looks authentic and physically it seems fine
Not sure if it's a fault on the original unit but the start & select buttons are a bit hard to push in. Other buttons seem spongy and the D-pad is a bit hard to use reliably sometimes but apparently this is the same on a new one. Buy a DSi if that's a concern to you, apparently it fixes some of these issues
I don't have an original/new unit to compare it to, but ...
It works well, and if the exchange rate is working in your favour this could be a decent bargain for you.

i find buckwheat tasty. you can use buckwheat flour in pancakes, by adding it to granola bars, you can even sprout it and eat the greens in your salad.
it's a gluten-free grain that has been associated with reducing cholesterol, improving circulation, and might even be able to treat type II diabetes.
this is a simple way to cook it up as a hardy breakfast, especially great on those cold foggy mornings.
this recipe was blogged at http://sweetbeetandgreenbean.net along with lots of other vegan treats. check it out for the full post and more pictures!
- 1in a large frying pan or skillet toast the buckwheat dry over high heat. after about 5 minutes over heat, with continuously stirring, they should start to turn toasty brown. make sure you get them before they start to burn. (note: if you are using toasted buckwheat you can skip this step.)
- 2add the salt to the water and bring to a boil.
- 3add the toasted buckwheat and boil on high, while stirring occasionally. cook until all the water has boiled off, which takes about 10 minutes.
- 4while still over heat add the earth balance and stir completely in. serve warm.

First off I will say that this is my fault!! I dropped My EGO Twist with a CE5 Clero on it from about 10 feet and it hit on a concrete floor. At first I was dissapointed that I prob. broke my CE5 but low and behold my Twist was not working. When I plug it into the charger it looks at me if I am stupid and does nothing, when I put my CE5 on it, it blinks 3 times and if I hit the button it blinks about 38 times then stops. Now I have already ordered replacements thinking I know the answer to my question, but here goes. Is this Battery trash or is there some hope for it?
Thanks in advance


text: Taking it to the top on Mt RuapehuTPP Contracting operates a digger high above the snowline on a Mt Ruapehu chairlift construction project. BY GAVIN RILEY Imagine driving a digger up a mountain and operating it at a height of just over 2320 metres (7600 feet). That's what Taumarunui firm TPP Contracting has had to do in helping carry out the biggest skifield upgrade in New Zealand's history. Led by owner/manager Russell Le Quesne (pronounced Le Kane), the company has excavated the tower and terminal foundations for a 1.4 kilometre high-speed chairlift at the Turoa skifield on Mt Ruapehu. The six-seater detachable chairlift, the largest and fastest in the country, starts at 1927 metres (6322 feet) and rises a vertical 400 metres to 2322 metres (7618 feet). It will be able to carry 3200 skiers an hour up the mountain. TPP Contracting has also created a 50-million-litre snowmaking reservoir, lined with 12,000 square metres of HDPE, at an altitude of 1700 metres (5577 feet). The reservoir will feed 25 new snow guns to improve the snow on the lower slopes. Ruapehu Alpine Lifts (RAL), which runs the Turoa and Whakapapa skifields, commissioned the $18.5 million improvements, which include an upgraded cafe and retail complex at the base of the ski run (built by Stanley Construction of Matamata). The package is part of an overall $30 million investment programme, which will see a new and a replacement chairlift at Whakapapa. TPP Contracting has been working on Mt Ruapehu contracts since 1993 and was featured in Contractor in May last year. The company began the Turoa chairlift earthworks in early November. The work consisted of excavating the foundations for the drive and return terminals and 11 towers in between, ranging in height from 10 to 19 metres. Three of the foundations had to be dug by hand because the sites could not be accessed by machines. Each tower foundation required up to 50 cubic metres of concrete, all supplied by Byford of Taihape. Including the terminal foundations, a total of just over 600 cubic metres was poured, all of it from a helicopter. Foreman Chad Hooton had the task of operating a Hitachi ZX160 digger at "the top site", the chairlift's return terminal, and completed the task in early February. The digger had been driven up along a track cut partly by Russell Le Quesne but largely by snow groomers. Fuel for the machine, containing anti-freeze additive, was helicoptered to the top site in 500-litre pods. Hand drilling and blasting had to be carried at the top site because of the amount of lava. TPP Contracting had up to three staff there and they were supplemented by workers from Doppelmayr New Zealand, which had the contract with RAL to install the chairlift components supplied by Doppelmayr's parent company in Austria. "It was hard work and very cold work," says Le Quesne, who holds a construction blaster's ticket. "You have problems where you're using compressed air and your guns freeze up." Le Quesne headed a team of four which from Christmas till the end of April created the snowmaking reservoir. Using 25- and 20-tonne excavators and a 30-tonne Moxy dump truck, the team shifted about 28,000 cubic metres of volcanic earth and rock, which was used to create an embankment on one side of the reservoir. Extreme weather, as always on Mt Ruapehu, was a constant hazard. "I lost 32 days on the snowmaking pond. It's a lot of down time – a helluva lot more than I was expecting," Le Quesne says. Doppelmayr New Zealand project supervisor Darren Wedder says the chairlift is due to be finished in mid-June, in time for the ski season. The entire contract has been "very much a weather game" because everything has to be flown in. "So you have to judge the day in the morning, and try to judge it right, because a lot of the foundations, of course, you can only pour in one hit," he says. "It's been quite a juggle against the weather, but we're managing to get there." It takes a special kind of contractor to earn his livelihood from working on the mountain. Le Quesne, 41, lives at Piriaka, 12 kilometres south of Taumarunui and nearly 60 kilometres from Mt Ruapehu. Because of that distance he and the rest of the TPP Contracting and Doppelmayr staff have been staying at Ohakune, 17 kilometres from the Turoa work site. "You don't work a five-day week, you just work every fine day that's there," Le Quesne says. "You turn up every morning regardless at 7am. If you get an extended period of wet weather you go home for a couple of days. But it doesn't happen very often." Because of the altitude and environmental considerations, life on the mountain is not like anywhere else. "Everything you do has to be supervised by the Department of Conservation," he explains. "There's a fairly tight rein on what you can and can't do on the mountain. You're given a footprint or boundaries to work to, and no matter what happens you're not allowed to go beyond that. "You're not allowed to drive a vehicle up the track to where the snowmaking pond is. You have to walk there every morning. All fuel has to be flown in by helicopter. Everything you do, logistically, becomes a major exercise. "The guys working up on top get flown to work every morning. At the end of the day they then either walk or take a chairlift part of the way. "We're extremely lucky we work with a very good pilot. There's not many down days he bails out. A decision is made on the mountain as to whether any work can be done that day. We have to turn up every morning and try to make it happen." Le Quesne says working on the mountain keeps him fit because of the amount of walking he does over rugged terrain. But he agrees with his 74-year-old father, Trevor (who chairlifts his way up the mountain some days), that when he turns 50 it will be time to call it a day. He says he has enjoyed the latest contract and (like Doppelmayr) is hoping for work on the Whakapapa skifield upgrades, due to start later in the year. "It's mainly the challenges. Most of the work you do on the mountain can be financially rewarding – but not always, because the weather plays a part and you've got staff to pay. "But the work you do there is a challenge. There's not a day goes by where effectively it's not all a big challenge." Does that mean any young, fit, energetic contractor could make a go of working in such a harsh environment? Not necessarily. "They had an end-of-concrete shout last night, and we were talking to the pilot who does all the work there," Le Quesne says. "And he said, 'You either don't make it after the first day or you're there for a long time'. "You either make the grade or you go home. And you've got to work in with people, and you've got to work in with the environment. That's just how it is." Contractor Vol.31 No.5 June 2007 |

Front Yard Landscaping Ideas
75 percent of American homeowners spend time or money or both tending to their lawns. Read on for easy DIYs (plus grass alternatives, if you're over the effort).
Special Offers
It's easy to get caught up in decor projects, from new countertops to curtains sometimes at the expense of your home's exterior. But landscaping and other outside updates don't have to be a hassle. Follow our targeted tips, and you'll be proud to invite guests over, have the neighbors stroll by, or even just pull into your own driveway.
Yard Smarts
Here are three solutions for covering more ground with less effort:
1. Cure a Sick Lawn
The top five grass-related grumbles, solved.
Brown sections. It's tempting to set the mower blades low so you won't have to cut the lawn again so soon. But slicing off more than an inch of grass at a time can cause what remains to turn brown. Ditto with using a dull blade. (Have the mower serviced yearly.)
Trampled paths. If your family and guests are always trekking across the grass, take it as a cue that the route should be recognized: Install slate or concrete paving stones.
Brittle grass. If blades look withered or snap easily, it may be that the ground's too dry. To test, push a screwdriver into the soil in a few spots. If it doesn't go in smoothly to a depth of six inches, haul out the hose.
Overall yellowing. A jaundiced lawn can actually be caused by fertilizer the nitrogen in it that encourages growth can "burn" the grass if it's overdosed. After a treatment, water well to dilute the fertilizer and help it soak down.
Yellow patches. The probable (icky) culprit is pet urine. Like fertilizer, it contains nitrogen, but in a more concentrated amount. The only real solution: Curb your dog. If you catch him (or another pup) lifting his leg on your lawn, quickly douse the spot with the hose. Existing yellow patches may need reseeding.
2. Grass Begone
If keeping a lawn green has you seeing red, consider these alternatives:
What's known as "no-mow" grass, which doesn't grow as tall or clover, or a blend. These won't offer a golf course like appear-ance, but both cover large areas with a swath of green, and need far less TLC.
Edible ground cover. Replace small areas of grass with spreading varieties of herbs, such as wintergreen, thyme, or sage; leafy veggies in the lettuce family; or even low-growing berry plants. Note: These, and clover by itself, can't take as much foot traffic as regular grass.
Hardscaping. For the least maintenance, consider gravel, slate tiles, or another rocklike ground cover a particularly smart solution in drought-prone areas. Plan it out (with a pro, if needed) before you de-plant, to decide what greenery stays. Landscape fabric underneath should help prevent regrowth.

3. Mind Your Mulch
Put it down to deter weeds in flower beds
Pick organic mulch (rather than inorganic types such as brick chips or shredded rubber) it will keep the ground cool, hold in moisture, let plant roots breathe, and break down to enrich the soil.
Skip free mulch, unless you know the source. If it contains weeds, mushrooms, or diseased wood or plants, it can spread those scourges to your yard.
What not to DIY: Power-washing your house. Why? Power washers are tricky to use, and while brick and vinyl siding wash well, wood clapboards could be pitted by a high-pressure stream.

From 2008 to 2011, coupon usage increased slightly for cat owners but declined slightly for dog owners, according to Packaged Facts.
During the "new normal" of ongoing economic sluggishness, US petfood consumers are coping in a number of ways, including shopping around more for bargains and charting out grocery visits in advance. According to Packaged Facts' September 2011 Pet Owner Survey, 74% of US pet product buyers agree they look for lower prices, special offers and sales on pet products.
Another way petfood shoppers have been managing during the new normal is rather old-fangled: coupons. From 2008 to 2011, the percentage of dog owners who used petfood coupons rose from 34% to 37%, with the cat owner number rising from 39% to 45%, according to Experian Simmons consumer survey data. Dog owners declined slightly in coupon usage from 2010 to 2011, while cat owners picked up a bit. In both groups, the usage levels remain elevated compared with pre-recession 2007, when the figures were at 33% and 28%, respectively (Figure 1).
Not surprisingly, petfood coupon usage is higher among dog or cat owners who consider themselves worse off financially than they were a year ago. Whereas 37% of dog owners and 45% of cat owners use coupons, the percentages rise to 42% and 49%, respectively, among the segment that identifies itself as significantly worse off. Usage is also above average among dog or cat owners who are female (index 111, with an index of 100 representing the norm), age 18-24 or homemakers.
On the other hand, it's somewhat unexpected to see coupon usage rise up the income ladder, with dog or cat owners living in households earning US$75,000–$99,000 the most prone to use petfood coupons (Figure 2). In the case of dog owners, the rate rises from 32% in the under US$75,000 household income group to 53% in the US$75,000–$99,000 group; with cat owners, the rate rises from 44% to 52% in those segments.
This trend carries through when looking at individual retail channels and pet superstore chains. While usage of petfood coupons by dog or cat owners is about average in the under US$75,000 household income segment (index 108), it's above average in the US$75,000–$99,000 group (index 128), with supermarkets indexing at 123, discount stores at 115, PetSmart at 111 and other channels at a chart-topping 153. For dog and cat owners alike, however, coupon usage falls off in the highest household income group of US$100,000 or more to 36% of dog owners and 45% of cat owners.
According to a survey of US cat and dog owners in summer 2011, petfood coupon usage varies by household income as well as retail channels shopped.
In addition to reflecting the mood of pet owners, increased coupon usage is a function of heightened promotional activity among major marketers and retailers. During 2008 and 2009, pet product retailers began employing a variety of promotional strategies to draw shoppers into the store, including cooperative programs with vendors.
As would be expected, mass retailers including supermarkets and discount stores are big on coupon usage, but coupons also have the power to draw shoppers into the pet specialty channel. Shoppers at other pet stores are 14% above average (index 114) for agreement with the statement, "Coupons draw me to stores I don't shop." And while shoppers at pet superstores are only average in this regard, during 2009, PetSmart jumped to number two among retailers most active in promotion pages circulated, second only to Target, according to TNS Media Intelligence.
Given marketers' and retailers' growing reliance on Internet marketing, expect to see coupons continue to grow in importance. The Internet is an ideal venue for coupon distribution directly into consumers' hands, and more marketers are fielding coupons that can be redeemed immediately via online purchasers, eliminating even the need to print out the coupon and take it into the store.
At a time when pet owners continue to look for deals wherever they can find them, something as basic and familiar as a coupon can help them feel proactive, not to mention better able to afford the foods and treats needed to keep their pets happy and healthy no matter which way the economic winds blow.

USA, 2013, 90 Minute Running Time
One Night Only! Tuesday, May 27th at 7:00pm. Winner of multiple festival awards, The Rugby Player is an uplifting and stereotype-shattering documentary that tells the story of a mother, a son, and what it takes to be a hero. The film explores the lives of Mark Bingham, one of the passengers on United Flight 93 on 9/11, and his mother, Alice Hoagland, a former United Airlines flight attendant. The Rugby Player is a touching, funny and stirring portrait of how a son's heroism can inspire a nation, and how a mother's love can turn unfathomable loss into unshakable resolve. Utilizing footage shot by Bingham himself, this timely film provides keen insights for the national debates on LGBT rights, marriage equality and gay athletes in sports.

With Blockbuster on its way out, the DVD market is being savored by the mail-delivery, keep it as long as you want Netflix on the left and the get it and watch it when you want (as long as it's available) for $1 on the right. The model is uniquely different – Netflix comes to my door on a rotating basis, for only $4.99 a month and I can take how long I want to watch it. Once I return it, the turnaround time is give or take 2-3 days for another one. Redbox is a hop, skip and a jump away, and if I feel like watching a movie tonight, by god, it shall be done for the price of just $1 as long as I return it the next day, but if I don't, it's still only a dollar fee – who thought of this stuff.
However, Redbox has a few kinks it needs to fix if it's going to compete. For instance, I'm a user of both but newer to Redbox, and out of my handful of experiences, more than half of them, I was met with a box that was out of service--no bueno for this gal and no bueno for Redbox's quality service ratings. I'm speculating, but I get a sense that what Redbox thought worked for its parent company CoinStar (the change exchanging kiosk) is actually becoming to look like a model built off of the vending machine business . . . I don't know about you, but a poorly stocked, poorly functioning vending machine doesn't make me happy. Hmm. My guess is Redbox thought they could build the perfect operation, one that practically ran itself through strategic locations, reduce overhead costs to practically nothing, and provide just enough DVD variety to satisfy the consumer substitution sweet tooth . .customer service, that's so 2000? I'm also guessing that CoinStar now can transfer your change into not only a Starbuck's card, but, you guessed it a Redbox card (and if they're not doing this, marketing's not doing their job – P.S. I can help with that). Believe me, I'm all about the idea, however, as with technology, when it's works, it's great – when it doesn't, we sulk and when we sulk as consumer, especially when it comes to our entertainment, we seek the alternative. Judging by the mph the video business is moving, streaming, not quality and customer service, might be redbox's biggest thorn. Check out an interesting article from Fast Company that's begging for a merger between Netflix and that other guy, Hulu.


text: One of the primary advantages of modular construction is the ability to relocate the modular buildings to another location for the same purpose or for some other secondary utilization. This flexibility is now on full display at the Houston-area Aldine Independent School District's Eisenhower High School, where Ramtech is relocating two cafeteria buildings which were originally installed in June 2013 at the District's Nimitz High School campus. This was part of the 41,216 square foot project which included four buildings including two at the district's MacArthur High School. All of the modular cafeteria buildings are being used as interim facilities for six months to a year while the District renovates each of the school's existing permanent cafeterias. (more…)

Miss Tacuarembó: A Cheeky '80s Festival of Spandex, Sacrilege, and Song
Categories: Film and TV
In small-town, über-Catholic Uruguay in 1983, Natalia is an 8-year-old dreamer who believes her TV set was sent to her by Jesus. To the horror of the provincial townsfolk, she and her adorably effeminate playmate Carlos don shoulder-baring leopard print tops, leggings, and bright sweat bands as they rehearse their carefully choreographed dance routines in preparation for the what they consider to be an inevitable big break.
Their grand dreams are sparked by a glamorous star they discover while watching their favorite telenovela. The duo refuses to give up on their pursuit of stardom, even in the face of homophobic adults who forbid Carlos from dancing or playing with girls, and dire warnings from Candida, a witch-like holy roller who, among other offenses, brings a priest into Natalia's home to warn her mother that her child's television role model is a prostitute. (The character is actually a model.)
A flash forward to the 30-year-old Natalia (who often goes by the stage name "Cristal," taken from the lead character in the soap she was obsessed with as a child) reveals that she and Carlos have not made much progress in achieving their Hollywood dreams. Living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the reality show rejects work as dancing ten commandment slabs in Catholicism-themed Cristo Park, "the only theme park approved by the Vatican." Subsequent scenes skip forward and backward from Natalia's frustrating childhood, filled with taunts from more privileged children who laugh at the absurdity of her Hollywood hopes, Natalia's decade-early preparation for her participation in the Miss Tacuarembó beauty pageant, and very aggressive prayers -- more like threats -- to Jesus, requesting that He kill her oppressors.
The "dream theme" has been done before, but never quite this way. The movie spills over with energetic scenes, often jumping from past to present or from straight to ridiculous (the musical number about spinach pie, for example) at a dizzying pace that makes it hard to say whether we're engaged because we're having a good time or because we're simply trying to keep up.

'How did they ever make a movie of "Lolita?" '
(Read article summary)The Novel to Screen Film Festival will examine three National Book Award nominees alongside their screen adaptations in New York next month.
It was in 1962 – three years after the novel received a National Book Award nomination – that Stanley Kubrick's film version of Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita" was released. Kubrick later said that, had he realized how tough it would be to get past the censors, he probably never would have made the movie.
But he did. And next month his achievement will be honored at the first Novel to Screen Film Festival, created by the National Book Foundation and the Pratt Institute. The inaugural festival will be held on April 4-5 on the Manhattan campus of Pratt, to celebrate Kubrick's "Lolita" and two other movie adaptations of National Book Award nominees. The three movies will be screened and each will be followed by a panel discussion by actors, writers, filmmakers, critics, and scholars who will consider the faithfulness of the adaptation.

So, Frogwares' game is afoot, and this time it's drawing from the detective's depictions on TV. As designer Olga Chalovskaya told us last year, the new "Character Portrait" ability is inspired by BBC show Sherlock. The gentleman hero examines suspects with his keen eye and elucidates clues by scanning over particular features such as injuries, fancy clothing, and maybe the odd conspicuous blotch of ketchup. Always suspect the messy eaters.
Crimes & Punishments, the new investigation game developed by Frogwares studio, is now set for release on consoles and PC on early September 2014! Previously announced for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and PC, we can now officially confirm that Crimes & Punishments will also be released on Xbox One®.
On this occasion, discover 3 new screenshots of the game, featuring Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson investigating some of the crime scenes from the 6 exceptional cases the game asks you to solve. You will have to exploit the incredible gifts and talents of Sherlock, such as his ability to guess the details of an individual's life simply by observing them, or to imagine and reconstruct a past event by studying the key features of a crime scene, in order to find out the truth. But what will you do of your suspects? Will you listen to your moral sense, or will you impartially enforce justice?
Crimes & Punishments will be released on PlayStation®4, Xbox One®, PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and PC early September 2014.
About Crimes & Punishments
Crimes & Punishments marks the most important stage in the Sherlock Holmes series. The decision by Frogwares studios to switch from the in-house engine to the Epic Unreal Engine 3 enables a much richer, more immersive and detailed rendering of both the environments and characters.
But the change of game engine has not only improved the graphics; new investigation techniques have been developed and the game can now offer 14 game mechanics. From the opening of each of the six investigations up to the arrest of the culprits and the moral dilemmas faced by the players, the new game mechanics convey the feeling of BEING Sherlock Holmes. Players will therefore be able to exploit the incredible gifts and talents for which he is renowned, such as his ability to guess the details of an individual's life simply by observing them, or to imagine and reconstruct a past event by studying the key features of a crime scene.

About 5-6,000 people were present at the May Day protest at Hong Lim Park this afternoon (1 May) to protest against the Govt's 6.9 million Population White Paper a second time. The Govt has proposed to bring in more immigrants in order to hit the projected number of 6.9 million population in Singapore by 2030.
This is the second protest organized by Transitioning.org. The first one was held on 16 Feb also at Hong Lim Park with an estimated crowd of 4-5,000. The organizer and speakers felt that the crowd was bigger this time round for the May Day protest. Other participants who were at both 16 Feb and 1 May protest events also said that the crowd at the second protest was bigger.
Live streaming for the protest event was also available for the first time ('Live TV Streaming for May Day Protest at Hong Lim'). A total of about 20,000 people viewed the event via live streaming.
At the start of the event, Gilbert Goh, President of Transitioning.org, asked the participants to wave their pink ICs to show that they were not foreigners, as non-Singaporeans were discouraged from attending due to a reminder from NParks to Mr Goh earlier ('NParks: Police permit needed for May Day Protest if foreigners participating'). NParks told Mr Goh that he will need to apply for a Police permit if foreigners are allowed to attend the protest event as required by the law. The organizer decided not to and instead, posted signs at the park to warn foreigners not to attend.
Mr Goh spoke at the event, "I am not against foreigners but we are against the policy of allowing a company to hire 100 per cent foreigners."
"The employment pass allows companies to hire 100 per cent foreigners, and I don't think this is right. There is a quota for S pass. Why don't they put a quota for the employment pass? They are the greatest competition for educated Singaporeans," he said.
Mr Goh hopes to organise similar protests on Labour Day every year.
Anti-foreigner sentiment has been rising in Singapore with many citizens blaming immigrants for pushing up the cost of living, taking jobs away from locals and straining infrastructure.
One of the speakers was human rights and constitutional lawyer M Ravi. He talked about the wide income gap and lack of protection for human rights in Singapore. He said that the government, employers and trade unions were supposed to protect workers' rights, but the tripartite arrangement has been "ineffective". He also said population growth in Singapore "increases poverty and causes unequal distribution of wealth", citing that the country has one of the widest income gaps in the world. He noted that while other ASEAN member states have human rights commissions, Singapore does not.
Lawyer and former board director of AMP was supposed to be speaking at the event. However, he had decided to withdraw from speaking due to allegations that he is using AMP and May Day protest to seek political mileage for himself.
He wrote on his Facebook page, "There has been suggestions that I have purportedly used AMP for political reasons, which is untrue. I have been an advocate of the need for a strong civil society and a rich diversity of views for Singapore to be resilient. This will allow Singaporeans to reconnect themselves with the country and to feel a part of the core."
"As a personal protest against untruths on my purported political objectives, and to underscore the fact that I am not seeking political mileage arising from my withdrawal from AMP and to speak at the May Day protest, I have, with a heavy heart, decided not to speak at the May Day rally at Hong Lim park."

text: | The leading ladies on my TV ScheduleOctober 6, 2010 - Pam RodgersI am a big fan of TV. I have blogged countless times about different shows and my television schedule as a whole. I have noticed a few things about the leading actresses in my favorite television dramas. Many of them have been born somewhere else besides the United States. My top two shows, Chuck and NCIS are great examples of this fact. Yvonne Strahovski and Cote de Pablo are both foreign born, but are tremendous on American TV. Yvonne Strahovski, Chuck's Sarah Walker, was born to Polish parents and raised in Australia. While she speaks in an American accent on the show, any off camera interviews will find her speaking in her native down under accent. I think she is amazing actress. She is awesome at the fight scenes but can also to to tender, lovey-dovey scenes with Zachary Levi, who plays Chuck. Cote de Pablo, plays Special Agent Ziva David on NCIS. While her character's native country is Israel, Cote was born María José de Pablo Fernández in Santiago, Chile. She was raised in Miami, so she is American but her roots begin elsewhere. Cote's character, Ziva is my favorite television character on air right now. She is a former Mossad assasin turned NCIS agent. She is tough, funny and shows affection in her own way. There is a great relationship with Michael Weatherly, who play Agent Tony Dinozzo. It's great to see them on camera together. These are just two examples of leading ladies from foreign lands. Here is a run down of other examples in my TV line-up. In ABC's Castle, Dectective Kate Beckett is played by Stana Katic. She was born to Croatian parents who hail from Dalmatian Coast in Croatia and immigrated to Canada where she was raised. In the NCIS spin off NCIS Los Angeles, Special Agent Kensi Blye is played by Daniela Ruah. While she was born in Boston, her family was Portuguese, and they moved to Portugal when she was five. In my new show on NBC Undercovers, CIA Agent Samantha Bloom is played by newcomer Gugulethu "Gugu" Mbatha-Raw was born in Oxford, England to a South African doctor and nurse. In TNT's Leverage, grifter Sophie Devereaux is played by Gina Bellman who was born in New Zealand raised in London. My last example is in USA's White Collar brought a new character, FBI Agent Diana Barrigan played by Marsha Thomason who was born and raised in Manchester, England. It is crazy how the television and movie industry has grown to involve so many people outside the US. It is truly a global business, and it is making for some amazing entertainment. There are a ton of American born actress who I love to watch. My current example would be from my favorite sitcom Big Bang Theory with the talented native Californian Kaley Cuoco is in the leading lady. I just think it is interesting to think how many of the actresses I like to watch every week are from outside the US. It just shows what a land of opportunity America truly is.

If you had to choose between Heaven and Hell, which would it be?
Are you sure about that...?
Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a wicked streak. She's spent years keeping everyone at a distance--even her closest friends--and it seems her senior year will be more of the same...until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can't seem to stay away from him. What she doesn't know is that Luc works in Acquisitions--for Hell--and she possesses a unique skill set that has the king of Hell tingling with anticipation. All Luc has to do is get her to sin, and he's as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn't stand a chance.
Unfortunately for Luc, Heaven has other plans, and the angel, Gabe, is going to do whatever it takes to make sure that Luc doesn't get what he came for. And it isn't long before they find themselves fighting for more than just her soul.
But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay...for all of them.
