Wack'em Sinteeeeek 13HD ReviewHiya Ryceballs. As some of you know, I was askin for opinions a few journals back about the Wacom Cintiq, you lovely people gave me some great advice and tips and one even went as far as to find me an Australian website with a cheaper price. And she saved me $200, so special thanks to KokoroKanon for doing that. So yes I have been using the Wacom for more than a week now, I didn't wanna write a review until I get the SmudgeGuard, a SmudgeGuard is pretty much looks like a glove cut in half, it looks like a futuristic glove in Minority Report, the reason I wanted a SmudgeGuard is because I tend to get sweaty hands so I did not wanna dirty the Cintiq screen at all, it costed me around $20 to get that. An alternative is just buy a cheap glove and cut off the top three fingers.... you can then use the cut off three fingers glove and put it on your head so you can pretend to be chicken.OK so was the Cintiq what I expected? Well pretty much yea. Its a nice little screen th
Nintendo at E3Oh Nintendo Nintendo Nintendo, you son of a bitch. Ok. Relax Ry Ry, *deep breath*. Hello Ryceballs. So after that whole PS4 vs Xbox Done, we have concluded that the winner for this year's E3 is PS4. Yay. Its a PRETTY solid win too. Below are just a few highlights of what happened at E3 if you missed it.OK? Good, but what about Nintendo I hear you ask. They were being very quiet, almost like a bystander watching two people fight from a distance. Then after the fight, Nintendo walked out of the darkness and showed us some games. Did they redeem themselves? Was what they showed satisfying? Can I finally clean the spiderwebs off my Wii U? Am I asking too many questions without an answer? You're about to find out. :icondatryplz:OK so Nintendo revealed a few things that got ME Ry-Spirit personally excited, they know how to mess with my feels ok. Well lets begin by saying all the good things before I talk about things I don't like, and yes there are things Im not happy about Nintendo.. I re
Back from RysolationDear Ryceballs. I have returned. It was a short hiatus, but it was a necessary one. I traveled miles and miles on foot into the Indian Desert by myself, in hope that I would be able to find my missing soul, cos thats what people do when they wanna find their soul right? They always go to India. I called it my 'rysolation period'. So I was out soul searching. On my journey, people has been encouraging to me, giving me kind words and needed motivational speeches, I thank you, you know who you are. I think I am more collected and positive now. Yeah I think I am back. Oh also on my soul search I have had time to work out some 'things'. So yeah look forward to more 'things' from me in the future. The desert was hot as hell by the way, don't really recommend it, what my soul was doing there is beyond me.Ok thats it for now.
Watch me as Special Guest on The Show HereHiya folks, for those who missed it live and wanna watch my interview on JohnRamboPresents The Show #119, you can watch it here.

I had a fear of ugly peopleI was chatting with my aunty and her gf the other day. They told me stories about the young baby Ry-Spirit. When Ry had no pubic hair, when Ry couldn't form a sentence together properly, when all Ry did all day was draw and play with toys... Actually you know what? Ry of today is pretty much the same so no changes there. But anyway, there was ONE thing that was different and caught me by surprise when they told me, they told me that baby Ry had a fear of ugly people. I was like seriously? WHAT?Above is a photo of me as a baby after I saw an ugly person. I was fascinated by this statement they claimed, so they told me there was a time when they took me out to meet their school friends, I got along with everyone of them, laughing and having fun with them, except for one person, I got scared and cried everytime I saw him. It was a mystery as to why I was like that to him... and they have concluded that it might be because he's ugly. And yeah I know its rude to define who's ugly and who's
Tales of the N64Hello Ryceballs, its been a long time since I actually drew something or written something for Deviantart, mostly because of travelling to conventions and work, if you haven't guessed it by now I actually draw for a living. BUT IM BACK FOR A BIT NOW, with more stories to entertain you delicious people! This time Im gonna talk about the classic Nintendo 64, one of my favourite consoles of all time.This is a picture of me when I was playing the N64 back in the day. So why do I wanna talk about the 64 out of all the consoles? Well mostly because I have been trashing Nintendo so much lately about their decisions in the gaming industry that I thought I should talk about something more positive about Nintendo when they were at their prime. ALSO because I have so many good memories with this console! Without further ado, THIS is how it all began.. it started with my dad coming home from work one day and showing me a newspaper article with a competition on it, it was sponsored by Toyota and i
Tagged. Sh*tHiya Ryceballs. So.. I was tagged by somone in one of those survey thingy, usually I tend to ignore tags... But this is a friend of mine, so I must do it. And she even bothered to make a video tag too, thank you for that! I also was gonna make a video as a reply until I realise I dont wanna show my face. (Camera shy) Lucky she gave me permission to stay in my comfort zone and write about it in my journal if I like. Here's her video by the way, by Ms :iconminnibutt:AND here's my reply.1. What's your biggest fear?There's NO WAY Im telling anyone my biggest fear, that would be like showing your weakness allowing yourself to be open for attacks. I swear if I let this slip, there would be people coming up to me putting their hand on the back of my head and shouting "HEY RY THERE'S A SPIDER ON YOUR HEAD!" and I'll be running around screaming and crying like a little girl, jumping into the closet then freaking out again as I i
Alleyway IncidentHiya Ryceballs. I left out something on my previous journal, something I kinda wanted to talk about but was a bit scared to... But I have decided that maybe its better to get it off my chest. This is a true story and it happened two weeks ago while I was in Melbourne for Armageddon Expo, it was a sunday night, I had a long day selling artworks and I was back in the hotel room chilling, at around 10pm I got hungry and realised I don't have much to eat, I didn't wanna call room service because I wasn't sure if food is still available that late. So knowing the 24/7 grocery store is just a block away, I decided to head out to buy a cup noodle or something. It was pretty dark outside with a bit of rain as well, much to my annoyance, but I was really really hungry. Now the proper way to get to the grocery store is to walk around the block, OR I can take a shortcut and go through the alleyway.... I tend to always walk around the block as I didn't wanna get mugged, if Batman has taught me anyt
Sorry Mario BrosSorry Mario BrosSay what you will about Anita Sarkeesian, you gotta admit that people do take note of what she says for good or ill. In this piece of news, it's for the good.As you might already know, in her latest video she outlined a simple "damsel frees herself" video game. Nothing too spectacular but it showcased how one can subvert the typical trope and make a strong female character out of it. While many were quick to criticize her for not making the game herself (given her kickstarter success), others took a more direct approach and actually made a game in 2 weeks.The game is called "Sorry Mario Bros," and the plot is that Princess Peach decides to rescues herself by leaving Bowser's castle in world 8-4. You progress right to left through familiar, but slightly altered, original Mario Bros. worlds working your way backwards towards world 1-1. Along the way you can take detours and use Peach's float ability to reach hidden areas and collect "princess coins."
OKAY so here's where I'm at:I have basically become too ill to look after myself for a bit. So Granny, (probably the best person in the world,) has agreed to let me stay with her for a couple of years, without the pressure of paying a sum of rent high enough to require me to draw until I literally die.This is good news. Because now it means Imma play all those steam games that I bought to play 'when I had some spare time'. Also Granny has basically the same taste in everything that I do, and I'm going to show her all the games. (Granny is pretty legit. You stick a controller in her hand, and she just... gets it.) Oh my. Wait 'till Granny sees Portal 2. And Journey. And I reckon she'll enjoy Shelter.I'm glad I have support of family and friends during this time. It means I get to rest, and heal, which I haven't had the opportunity to do for... basically most of my life.
PE Daily Deviations- Presentation of your workHello all! Well we've had a fascinating week so far; a week which hopefully has provided some insight not only to the process of DD selection but helped you understand what we look for in DDs as CVs. As we draw to the end of this week, I bring you an article which will whet your Saturday with thoughts that don't just apply to the DD feature, but something which should be a consideration to everything you submit to dA. I am talking about deviation presentation. Why is Presentation important?Art isn't always about just being "creative". There are techniques and skills which develop over time which contribute to the quality of the work you produce and alongside this comes a developed understanding of good presentation.Good presentation could be anything from cropping a photograph, to spell checking your literature. These are common sense things that in the rush of wanting to show off your creativity can sometimes be
New Commissions Portal Coming SoonOur team has been testing an early version of our brand NEW Commissions portal. On the Commissions Portal you can find ALL of the (currently) 26,000 available Commission offers from artists, neatly categorized by Style, Type, Price, Popularity, etc. It's awesome! When we launched Commission widgets on Profile pages a few months ago, I personally didn't find them to be very helpful by themselves. Without a directory of available artists for commissions, and what commission options there are from across the whole community -- I couldn't be sure that I was buying the right thing. The new portal (which will be accessible right from deviantART.com's home page) has added an incredible value to my life since I've been playing with it: The ability to easily commission artists! Because the commissioning process exists in-line on the Commission area, I was able to facilitate 5 commissions in an initial 2 minutes and 30 second

A day of doing nothingHey Ryceballs. yesterday marked the day that I did absolutely nothing. I gota admit, the last 2 weeks has been one of my most crazy weeks of the year, there were just tooooo many things going on at the same time that has affected my emotional state. It was like an emotional roller coaster that just didn't end. Not just bad things don't get me wrong, but good things too. And being a guy who try to take as little rest as possible, I came to a point where I just got totally burnt out. I was just exhausted and tired and just felt extremely depressed. It has affected my judgement and logical thinking and it even shows in my polls to be honest, I don't know if people realise but sometimes the topic of the polls and quality of my artworks are affected by what's going on in my life.. but sometimes I throw in a few odd ball polls in there to mix it up so you guys don't think I am personally going through stress, so yeah 'poo flavoured icecream' isnt a thing from experience don't worry! I also d
So glad voting is over ..For all Ryceballs outside of Australia, be happy that voting is not mandatory for you. Ok if you didn't know this, in Australia if you don't vote you'll get fined. So even if you do not care about what happens in the government or your town mayor/leader/guy or whatever it is called (Like me), you STILL have to make your way to the nearest voting place to vote. Well I had to do exactly that today.Thats me in the middle confused as hell as to what I am doing there in the voting booth. I made a poll last week asking what the public think about this topic, whether voting should be mandatory or not, and 69% of you guys thinks that it SHOULDN'T be. (Wow 69). And I agree with ya'll 69%. I think it should be the people's right whether they want to get involved with our government mess or not, NOT FORCING US TO DO IT. Its especially annoying when you are out of town that weekend or you are just wayyy too busy to go. I myself travels a lot so its a hassle for me. Not only that but you ju
Symbol(s) for the non Premium DeviantsHello my Ryceballs. So eversince DA's recent symbol changes, I have been hearing a lot of complaints. Mostly about how regular non premium members don't even get a symbol. It makes them feel like they are not important. Its ok I hear ya I hear ya. And you know me, I am all about the people. Ry-Spirit cares. So I thought about this a lot and try to think of an appropriate symbol that best suits our non premium friends, at the end I came up with a symbol... WELL I say a symbol but its more like a string of symbols. I feel like this is the only option for it to work. And I have used myself as an example of what the symbols would look like if I am in fact a regular deviant. Ok please look below.You may need to right click and view the image to see the whole thing. Now what does it mean? I will tell you. It stands for "Sad because no money therefore no premium membership and seems like Im not considered an artist argh *swears*.. Sigh.. oh well.. I have an idea, look I'll continue to
IF YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY PIXLETT READ BELOW[EDIT: 8-14-14] Forgive me guys as I'm getting swamped with comments about this situation. Since the original posting, we have learned that:1) Pixlett/Toxic is a minor.2) That if prosecuted, the parents will be held accountable, not the child.3) At most, if convicted, she faces being marked as 'delinquent', and subsequently placed on probation unless she is tried as an adult, in which case, she would then be charged with theft/fraud, and face 3 years or more years in prison.4) We have found who we believe to be identified as the suspect theif. From here, we should be able to file something [not sure what yet] against her/them in court.:iconwitchpaws: and I are doing our best to dig up what we can about legal proceedings to have her delt with. Having her under 18 makes this extremely difficult to deal with legally, and also, each state has their own laws so I have to look at laws much different than my own. (which again, makes this hard)I will update when we figure things out furt

Commissions WidgetSome of you may aware of the newest released feature by deviantART- that very long awaited widget/module/space for commission on your personal page.Here is my thought about it, no, actually a serious concern where I posted there- please read it first: http://comments.deviantart.com/1/347788178/2897698997To add more: in my opinion I am quite disappointed with that new commission module which have quite childlish feeling (devART, IMHO, represents art as entertaiment which is pushing far away from art as a serious profession in our real world /where in effect many people don't take us, full time working artists seriously etc./ besides of Portfolio release where they did a good job. But when money is involved...) and that's pretty much fast-food commission for quick take and out (points, quick modul and price limit).That addition of the price limit (which is very low) which may suggest to many young people about fixed general idea of price with art into mentality (art has
Tomorrow, is the first blank page.......of a 365 page book. Write a good one.Every year is like a chapter of our lives.The object of a new year is not a celebration of a new year, nor having a new number displaying in our callendar but it is where we should have a new soul.To sit down and think over how to improve up our lives.Also is not a day to cry out loudly how our past year was unsuccessful and impatiently wait when it will be over, start a new, but to learn who we are and how we can move forward.I'm not here to wish a good New Year Eve since it's not the only day which will decide how our new year will be like however what I truly wish you guys lots of joy for every day for this year, as well for next year- regardless what is the day or what's happening. Every day is a miracle and a proof of our existence.Smile to yourself while looking at your image reflected by mirror and don't be shy to say "I love you" to yourself. And lots of love to all livings forms, animals and nature and less interest to mater
Communities rely on Pillars made of HeartCommunities of all kinds are held up by pillars made of heart. Typically embodied by people who let the weight of their community rest on their shoulders, willing to let life be life. Sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it's comfortable. Regardless, the result is a halo that surrounds all participants in a community. The healing light of being mothered, fathered or cared for.These are very special people who take this role in your community. Maybe this person is you. In which case, please be you today, and every day. Because you are very important.For the rest of us, we all know who the pillars are that hold up the communities that we care about. We all know the value of what they do, especially when we stop to think about it.There is nothing in life that I have ever found a deeper admiration for than people who take on this role. Pillars of Community. When a human being digs their heels in, claims territory and begins to show Love towards a group of people, they begin to embody
PE: Daily Deviations - The Myth and the LegendDaily Deviations, or DDs . . . for some deviants, receiving one is the epitome of awesomesauce in the deviantART world. For others, they are a nice way to show off the work of lesser-known artists. Still others treat them as a special way to bring attention to great art that exemplifies works being done by a particular gallery or community.Perhaps because there are so many different ways of conceptualizing DDs, there are also many myths and misconceptions. I would like to address some of those myths by responding to the ones most frequently heard. Please note that these opinions are mine and reflect my experiences with the photomanipulation community, but perhaps they will be informative nevertheless.Myth 1: DDs should always be perfect.To many of us, the ideal Daily Deviation goes to an artist with amazing talent whose work draws you in and makes you think, "Wow, everyone needs to see this!" A DD should move you, inspire you, and provoke you to think, b

My 3CHiya Ryceballs, today I wanna talk about three amazing artists that has inspired and motivated and kinda shaped who I am as an artist today, all three of them has a Deviantart account so you can check out their stuff if you like. And all three of them so happen to have their name starting with C, how about that huh? So I guess a tip is if you wanna become an amazing artist, change your name to something starting with C. Ry is also fortunate enough to know all three of them over time and likes to think of them as my senpais.Chamba:iconthechamba: Chances are if you are on Deviantart long enough you probably have come across his work already since he's been active on Deviantart for 10 years and he's like a megastar in the art universe.

The three of them Jim, Spock, and Bones had been eating in comfortable silence, enjoying a bit of calm before returning to their stressful jobs. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jim had seen Chekov accidentally bump into a yeoman, sloshing his water all over her red uniform. As the ensign busily sputtered out his apology in his thick accent, the small event sprouted an idea (an awesome idea) in the captain's mind.Hence the glob of chocolate pudding currently dripping down the good doctor's face."Dammit, Jim! What the hell is wrong with you?!"Jim's grin grew even wider on his face. "Sorry, the temptation was too hard to resist." He leveled another spoonful of pudding at his friend and it splattered smack dap on Bones' nose."Cut it out! What are you, two?"Plastering a pouting, innocent look on his face, Jim

Korean fare to be found at Wapping's Feast Festival opening tonight
Korean cuisine is having its moment in the spotlight - and the co-founder of a new restaurant is keen to introduce more East Enders to the fresh, spicy fare at the Feast festival this week.
Jubo opened its doors in Shoreditch's Rivington Street last year serving up what Leon Foong calls topical tasty food, including dishes like steamed buns and bulgogi.
"Arguably Korean food is highly under-represented in Asian cooking," he said. "Now it's time and we are looking to be a part of that movement.
"We've not got a lot of experience of food festivals but we wanted to bring more awareness of what Jubo is about and what we offer as a way of exposing Korean cuisine."
Feast takes place at Wapping's Tobacco Dock from tonight (Thursday) until Sunday.
Leon and his team will be whipping up dishes alongside a wealth of fellow foodie traders. Tea ceremonies, sensory experiences, live music and DJs will also be on offer.
Leon said Jubo's offering at Feast draws on raw, fresh ingredients as well as influences from Japan with its signature flavours being Korean fried chicken and steamed pork.
Those more interested in red meat might try the brand's Korean style beef-on-the-bone, cooked on a barbecue or a marinated loin of Iberico pork. Glass noodle salads and kimchi slaw cater for the veggies.
Leon said: "Authentic Korean cuisine can be sharp and aggressive with flavours - we don't believe in padding them out.
"If you look at the sauces and garnishes they're all very strong, punchy flavours - very exciting, very sharp and very fresh.
"It's a huge aspect of the food - our Korean fried chicken is served at the restaurant and at Feast in garlic, hot or volcanic strengths.
"The latter was only introduced recently. A lot of our Korean visitors weren't satisfied with the heat level so we revised the recipe - now it's really, really hot."
Tickets for Feast range in price, starting from £10 for a standard ticket or £8 for concessions.

Dow inches to record as earnings reports wind down
May 9, 2014 11:31 PMNEW YORK — The Dow Jones industrial average hit a record Friday, but without much conviction after a choppy day of trading during which investors couldn't make up their minds whether to buy or sell.
The blue-chip index flitted between small gains and losses at least a half-dozen times, and ended up beating its old record set last week by less than 2.5 points, or just 0.02 percent.
"The market is having trouble finding direction here," said David Kelley, JPMorgan Funds' chief global strategist. But he added, "I believe for the rest of the year, a warming economy … will push the market up."
The Standard & Poor's 500 index also eked out a gain but is no higher than it was in early March, after waffling between weekly gains and losses most of that time.
On Friday, stocks fell broadly from the open as investors took in the latest corporate earnings reports. It was an odd day in which winners became losers and vice versa.
Stocks of utilities have been in favor lately because of their stable earnings and fat dividends, but investors dumped them Friday, and they closed 1.4 percent lower. That was the biggest drop of the S&P 500's 10 sectors.
By contrast, a few big-name Internet stocks that had been crushed in a recent sell-off in that industry managed healthy gains.
Netflix formally announced it was raising prices for new subscribers of its streaming video service and investors cheered, lifting its stock 2 percent. Tesla Motors and LinkedIn, both down more than 10 percent since April, rose 2 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively.
The Dow edged up 32.37 points for the day, or 0.2 percent, to 16,583.34. That narrowly beat its previous record high of 16,580.84 set April 30.
The S&P 500 index rose 2.85 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,878.48. The Nasdaq composite rose 20.37 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,071.87.

J Boog (Born Jerry Afemata) is a singer born in Long Beach and raised in Compton, Ca.
Growing up in a large family, he was always surrounded by lot's of people and music.
J's father is the chief of the family village in Aloa, Samoa. Boog was raised with a strong sense of that tradition and culture and he proudly carries it with him today and always. One day when J was 4, he heard his sister practicing piano and started to watch & learn about music. Soon, J was singing along to the notes & melodies he heard his sister play. A while later she brought home a Bob Marley song book. Even at this young age, J knew Bob's name and his music. Upon hearing his sister begin to play, something clicked inside J. He hasn't been the same since. The first time J Boog sang for a crowd, he was 9 years old. It was a large family reunion at a church and there were nearly 200 people there. J's Mother and sister insisted he sing a Whitney Houston song and J obliged them. Though he was nervous, it went quite well.The song was One Moment In Time. J met his favorite artist, George "Fiji" Veikoso in 2005 and began to work with him on music a short time later. In 2006, J moved to Hawaii to continue developing his craft. J Boog released his debut album 'Hear Me Roar' in 2007. In 2008 J Boog joined a family and company called Wash House Music Inc, based in Hawaii and San Francisco. In 2008 J Boog met Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage. There was an instant vibe. Gramps was keen on working with J, and set out to make a way. Shortly after, Gramps, J Boog and other Wash House family members were in Jamaica recording. They worked in such prestigious places as Bob Marley's "Tuff Gong" Studio, Don Corleone's "Hit Maker", Bobby Digital's "Digital B", Shaggy's "Big Yard", Sugar Minott's "Youth Man Promotion" and more. The results are apparent when listening to Boog's new album. It is authentic Island Music and genuine Jamaican reggae at the same time. Truly a new and exciting combination. J's new album features some reggae giants like Richie Spice, Tarrus Riley and Morgan Heritage. There is a natural theme to Boog's writing, love. It recurs through out his work and never once seems contrived. J says he writes what he feels and knows. When you listen, you'll feel he truly knows matters of the heart. His new album, "Back Yard Boogie" is slated for release in 2010 and features J's new hit "Let's Do It Again" produced by Don Corleone. J Boog is excited about the future and all the amazing progress he's seen in such a short time. These days Boog is either in a studio, on a stage or catching a flight. Radio interviews have become a daily thing and it's a little overwhelming for the young artist. He has been smart enough to keep his humility. He has a great sense of humor and an even better sense of reality. He can be overheard saying how blessed he is on a daily basis. It's easy to see why J Boog has been winning over fans when you meet him. He has the right spirit and attitude to carry him to the next level.

Great Product!
By Paula!
from Sudbury, ON
This is our second purchase of these amazing grass seeds. We now have grass growing where it never grew before! Great product and will surely purchase again.
still hoping for more results........
By TSC princess
from Edmonton,AB
I have used this seed in 2 different areas. the more shaded area is definitely showing some nice results. I have nice looking grass growing there.not thick but is coming. the soil is quite clay-like. and that area may have gotten more of the topsoil.the hotter sunnier area is not showing much to rave about. the soil is really bad and it may not have had enough regular watering(live in a condo and no one else wants to water) but happy right now about the shade growth.

not good results
By frugal shopper
from Brampton, Ontario
I purchased three bags in the fall and I followed the instructions the rep gave. In the spring I saw no visible results. I reapplied again in the spring, again no results. I decided to reseed a third time using a popular store brand and I now have new grass growing. I wasted money and time not to mention the work with this brand, will not trust this brand in the future
Not Yet Proven Itself
By JohnnyG
from Hamilton
I had several "bald patches" throughout my front and back yards as well as ever invasive clover leaf weeds, so was excited to hear of the highly touted attributes of RTF Grass seed. Results are not as robust as advertised. Some areas have grass growing, several others still have no grass growing. There has been no reduction in weeds either...... Maybe by next spring the bald spots might grow grass? Not worth the premium price. Hope springs eternal.........
( 3 of 3 customers found this review helpful)
By Loveski
I really don't know what with our lawn this year, beside the weeds, there are all kinds of unwanted greens. I was not sure of this RTF at first, so I planted a little bit in a shady area and watered it for 3 consecutive days and also with the help of rains and yes my RTF grass are growing and it is a 100% grass, no mix! I'll plant the rest later on...thanks RTF!
RTF Water Saver Grass Seed
By Melly
from Stratford
Here is the update of my fall review that I did last November.What an amazing surprise we had this spring when we saw the RTF grass seed coming up green and lush. It only needed minimum repair ( I think our squirrels did a little digging of a couple of holes).There was a sigh of relief after so many years of having to reseed not only in the spring but throughout the summer season to keep that shaded area green.RTF certainly has met our challenge. AT LAST.
( 6 of 6 customers found this review helpful)
This seed has a real challenge to prove itself as it has been planted in a shaded area that has given problems for years.Grass needed to be replanted several times in that area if we wanted it green.RTF was planted about 5 weeks ago and showed good growth about 2 weeks later. Three weeks after that the RTF seed has thickened up rather nicely.Now the BIG challenge is to see what next spring brings and if we have finally found a grass seed that STAYS growing in that particular area.

BL1M to be implemented by January 2013
28 Nov 2012 04:52pmBy Zaiful Ariffin (email@example.com) KUALA LUMPUR –The 1Malaysia Licence Assistance Programme (BL1M) is expected to be implemented by January 2013 as soon as it is agreed and receives the allocation by the government. Umno Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin said that the programme has been consented by the Road Transport Department (RTD). "We are not finalising the finer details of the programme together with the driving school institutes. We will be able to launch the 1Malaysia Licence Assistance Programme (BL1M) soon," said Khairy today. Under the initiative, thousands of young people will be able to take their motorcycle licence priced at RM191. This is a 50 percent reduction from the current RM350. From the survey done by the Umno Youth Urban Affairs Secretariat (SHEB), over 200,000 motorcyclists especially the youths are without licence. BR1M is among the 10 initiative outlined in the Youth motion during the Umno General Assembly today. In addition to the package, the Umno Youth also intends to apply for a pardon for motorists who have been given an arrest warrant. "We will work together with RTD and the police. On the legal standpoint, I will raise this matter to Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz to see how we can help these motorists," said Khairy. |

Ok so these are 2 separate questions related to my last brew (my first 5 gallon batch). Here's what I'm working with, an SNPA clone I found on here. At least what I could find that was partial mash: 4 lbs American 2 row 1 lb Crystal 40 6 oz Carapils 3 lbs light DME I mashed all the grains at 148-152 for 60 mins (BIAB) and ended up with a 4 gallon boil (too much sparge water I think). I added 1/2 the DME at the beginning of the boil and the other half at 15 minutes. 1 oz Perle 60 minutes 1 oz cascade 15 minutes 1 whirlfloc tab at 10 minutes .75 oz cascade flameout Topped off to 5 gallons, OG 1.046 Pitched a WY1056 smack pack, no starter. It's now fermenting quite nicely 48 hours in. Question #1: I didn't really understand what whirlfloc was supposed to do. I thought it was supposed to help everything clear in the fermentor but later learned it helps clear in the boil. After struggling to get my wort in my carboy (too small of a funnel, didn't have a good auto-siphon, lesson learned) I ended up just saying "F it" and dumped everything in there. Am I going to get any benefit out of the whirlfloc or am I just at the mercy of letting everything settle? Question #2: My recipe also called for a week of dry hopping of 1 oz of whole cascade. Since I've got all that hop in the fermentor, should I back off on this or eliminate it entirely? I would personally love all the hop I can get, but I want to make something fairly "safe" so I can get my friends and coworkers hooked before getting too adventurous. Any thoughts?
You will still benefit from the whirfloc I only use a half tab per 5 gallons. I would still dry hop even though not a fan of cascade as a dry hop.

At 49, Lewis proves he's still a force
Former Hawkeye star wins two in his coming-out-of-retirement party
Andy Hamilton ? Iowa City Press-Citizen ? May 17, 2009
WATERLOO -- Randy Lewis arrived Saturday at Young Arena with a big box of shirts and a bigger following.
This wasn't his 50th birthday celebration. That will come next month.
This was his coming-out-of-retirement party.
The 1984 Olympic gold medalist brought his own cheering section to the Northern Plains Regional freestyle tournament. All decked out in "Team Lewboo" shirts that pictured Lewis with a flat stomach, a full head of hair and an Olympic gold around his neck, they wanted to see what the heavier, bald version had left after a 17-year break from competition.
"I did this to see if I'm as tough as I think I am," he said. "I still think I am, but not every time."
Lewis posted a pair of victories before Northern Iowa All-American Moza Fay handled the former Iowa great 9-2, 7-0 in the semifinals at 163 pounds.
Lewis got past James Reynolds (1-0, 3-0) and Trent Larrieu (3-1, 5-1) with craftiness and savvy, baiting them to shoot to his right leg, once known as the "impossible leg" and using his countering skills to rack up points. But Fay, 23, had too much leverage and strength for Lewis to overcome with experience.
"I told myself before this that if I got someone who was real tight with me on top and there's a decision to get hurt or get turned, I'm going to let them turn me," Lewis said. "That was the decision Moza Fay gave me."
It wasn't really Fay's choice. He said he didn't want to wrestle Lewis and viewed it as "a lose-lose situation."
"If you lose, you lost to a (49)-year-old guy, and if you win you probably broke his leg," Fay said. "But I thought it was really neat when I first found out he was wrestling here. I thought that was really cool. No (49)-year-old wrestles in this tournament. It takes a lot of heart. He beat two guys. That's amazing. The training and time it takes to do that at that age is just incredible."
Lewis said he had been contemplating a return to competition for years, but his body would never hold up through training. Thus, he spent the last two weeks concentrating more on his weight and cardiovascular shape than getting on the mat in live wrestling situations that would risk a derailment to his plans.
"About three or four times I tried to train, and I tried it this way without training," Lewis said. "It was fun. Actually, my shape was a lot better than I thought because I didn't really even get that tired in my first two matches, and I wasn't that tired in that match either. But I made a couple mistakes against Moza, and he's too solid for me to give up that much position, and then when he got on top it was over."
Lewis wasn't the only attraction at the tournament, just the main one. All-American Daniel Dennis, who will be a senior at Iowa in the fall, beat Luke Smith, reigning NCAA champion Franklin Gomez and All-American Brandon Precin on his way to the title at 132.25 pounds. Iowa strength and conditioning coach Jared Frayer wrestled six periods in three matches on his way to the title at 145.5, outscoring his opponents 29-1 with one pin.
But nobody else in the tournament captured the attention quite the way Lewis did. The action on all five other mats stopped when his matches started.
"It's great for the sport to honor an Olympic champ like that," Fay said. "I just wish I wasn't the guy who had to wrestle him. He's probably the one guy I didn't want to wrestle for several reasons. He's an Olympic champ, he's (49) years old."
Lewis hadn't competed since the 1992 Olympic Trials. His last competitive match came against Nate Carr. Oddly enough, one of the wrestlers in Lewis' bracket Saturday was Carr's son, Nate Jr.
Any chance of a Lewis-Carr meeting ended when Lewis forfeited his consolation matches.
"I came out of it healthy," Lewis said. "It was a great experience. I'm glad I did it."
Lewis got an ovation after his match with Fay. Moments after the official raised Fay's hand in victory, the Northern Iowa senior grabbed Lewis' hand and did the same.
"It was a lot of fun," Lewis said. "I didn't get as tired as I thought I was going to get, but I got a lot more sore in between matches. My body tightened up on me. A lot of people thought where I was going to be good was on the mat turning people, but it's all the feet for me at my age. I knew against Moza Fay that I didn't want to get underneath. Unfortunately, I got there a couple times."

I'm not a country girl, so I don't know a lot about wild animals unless they are the kind that have figured out how to survive in the city. So you can image how shocked I was when I saw a larger bird fly down and take a pidgin out of the air and onto the street.
I was driving down the street on my way to the bank, and suddenly I was watching a live episode of National Geographic or Wild Kingdom. I had no idea that birds of prey fed on other birds. I'm not a big fan of pidgins. We have way too many of them, but the scene made me feel a little sad for the poor bird.

I only activated the scan and it performs an excellent job. My machine is typically very clean, but it did find some software that must have been loaded with another product, that was marginally a bad product.
It gave me no choice as to where it would load. I don't like C:\Program Files; and I do not wish to make registry changes on the fly. My preference is that I be asked where to install. All products should provide this option.

I am not a big fan of Taurus, but I have to admit my bedside gun is a Judge. I have a bottom rail for it. I was just wondering if anyone has put a laser/light combo on one and could recommend it. I'm not looking to spend a fortune (under $100) as I rarely shoot the gun, but would like a light and laser advantage if ever needed.

Finally found this one. It is 126 lumens and the laser is really bright. Have not shot with it yet, but it feels substantial. It may look a little over the top, but it is my bedside gun and it does not seem to add much weight. Here is an amazon link to the product. I didn't know it was 126 lumens until I got it. It lights up a room like a movie set! There is a simple push button on/off that activates both light and laser together. I'm really happy with it. Now to see if it stays on the gun when I shot it!! :-) UTG P28 Red Laser Xenon Flashlight Combohttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018LBJPK/ref=oss_product

Looking for a new flashlight and a new magazine holster. Any one tried one of these? SINGLE SHEATH - MAXPEDITION HARD-USE GEAR Tactical Nylon Gear for Military, Law Enforcement, Tactical Concealed Carry; Tailored to Perform Tactical
Let me say that I do not want them together, I want two separate cases. Anyone have anything else they love? Ideally I'd go for a simple metal clip on style that can be worn IWB or OWB for the magazine. The flashlight one, just needs to hold the light and keep it from falling out when I'm running.

One of the biggest surprises at the last round in Singapore was Nico Rosbergs second place, not least because he was able to take a stop-and-go penalty and still keep his Williams on the podium. After that career-best finish, the young German is confident he can continue his run of good fortune at the Fuji Speedway this weekend - as long as it rains
Q: Nico, the dramatic race in Singapore ended very happily for you. At the start it didnt look that promising, but after you overtook Trulli, nothing could stop you - not even a stop-and-go penalty. Can you review the crucial moments of the race?
Nico Rosberg: It was really up and down all the way in terms of my hopes. So much was going on in the race, but Im really happy that luck was on our side for once and it all came together nicely. It was great for the whole team to finish on the podium.
Q: How were the tyres for you? Flavio Briatore said after the race that without an early switch to the harder tyres Fernando Alonsos win wouldnt have been possible
NR: The softer tyre was definitely too soft and yet on low fuel at the beginning of the race it worked quite well for us. So in terms of tyre choices we got it all right.
Q: When news of your stop-and-go penalty came through, did you think your hopes were over? And how did it feel on the podium?
NR: Well I knew it was coming so I was just pushing to make the gap as big as possible. It was nice that even after the stop-and-go I was still in such a good position. And yes, it felt very nice on the podium!
Q: It was your best finish ever. Were the car and track a good match or has the FW30 improved so dramatically?
NR: The track suited our car well, so we were on for points all weekend. The good result was then a combination of luck, a strong car in the race and I also drove very well.
Q: From a drivers point of view, did you enjoy the track?
NR: I think it was a fantastic race for Formula One and could be the best GP of the year soon. The only concern with such tracks is safety and it is very important that no compromises are made. Singapore was generally quite safe but even so, they need to make a few improvements for next year.
Q: After your second place, what do you expect for Japan?
NR: If it rains we have a very good chance of doing well as our car has strong pace in the wet. So I hope it rains a lot. Last year we qualified sixth with a lot of fuel.
Q: Williams at the moment hold P8 in the constructors championship - five points behind Toro Rosso in sixth place. Will the team be able to make up some places before the end of the year?
NR: We are definitely going to give it our best shot. It would be great if we could challenge both STR and Red Bull.
Q: And youll need a bit more practice dropping the champagne bottle to your mechanics
NR: Why do you say that? It worked fine! But more top results are very welcome.
Q: How have you spent your time between Singapore and Fuji?
NR: I went to Bali on a training camp, which was very nice, and I caught up on some surfing too.

Hi first post, looking for some help with my focus handbrake.
Its a 2002 1.8 tdci estate and has never really had an excellent handbrake, i have become very reliant on the clutch ;-) however now it has got to the stage that it doesnt hold at all, thus somewhat dangerous.
I have looked at different options on the web and am now at a 'don't know what to next' stage.
First of all I adjusted the cable but that didnt work - hand brake was either on or off, nothing inbetween.
At this point the pads and disks were old so i changed both. Then i retried tightening and adjusting the cable to 5-8 clicks before it bites. same thing, either on or off. (I used the method of jacking the rear wheels up and spinning them manually to try to guage the bite point...)
The lever doesn't have any friction until the point where it stops. Even though the lever wont go any further there is little to no contact between the pads and the disks.
I figure its either the cable or a sticky brake piston(s), however before going out and buying loads of new parts i wondered whether anyone could help me, or whether this is a common problem?
Many thanks in advance.

I have both canted and airbag bindings, both are great, much better than my old bindings. U have a busted knee.
Make sure your angle settings and stance width aren't putting unnecessary pressure/twisting on your knees too.

Great boots and aftermarket insoles first, then I'd say canting.

I've had nasty knee problems for a while ever since some injuries. I got some canted bindings a year ago and I find they help a lot. I rode my rock board a few times the other day and the flat bindings immediately hurt my knees.

I'd say the airbags are what you want if the pain only comes from landing jumps and the canting is what you want if the pain comes from riding in general. Plus I totally agree that you should get comfy boots with insoles if you don't have some already. They can make all the difference in the world.

I think overall cushioning will be better than canting. For example I have 2 pairs of K2 Formulas that have canting, but mostly plastic baseplate. On the other hand my NOW IPO's don't have any canting whatsoever, but the great minimal baseplate and cushioned footbed works great. My knees like the IPO over the Formulas.

I think factory canting isn't right for everyone. I ride with no pain and when I got canted bindings my back leg hurt. I finally switched the binding footbed for a flat one from some old bindings. I have really go fitting boots with custom footbeds.
