Christie Testing 'Quad' Projection System
It was first tested in front of an audience at the Dolby Theatre during the recent Los Angeles Premiere of "Star Trek Into Darkness."
The first trial site for Christie's new "Quad" projection configuration is Hollywood's Dolby Theatre. It was quietly installed and tested for the first time before an actual audience last week for the Los Angeles premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness in 3D, and it might become a more permanent fixture in the theater.
It's called the Quad because the configuration uses four digital cinema projectors (in this case, four Christie CP4230 4K DLP projectors). Four projectors have been used for events such as premieres before -- particularly for filling large screens such as the 70-foot installation at the Dolby -- but making this unique is use of a newly developed lens alignment system.
With the Quad setup there are two projectors facing the screen and two others coming in at right angles to those projectors with those images bouncing off mirrors. This is effectively two joined Christie "Duo" setups (the Duo is pictured above), for which two projectors are perpendicular to each other and one of the images bounces off a mirror.
The goal of the Quad system is to bring the four lenses closer together for more accurate alignment, which is especially vital when lining up left and right eye images to produce 3D.
"When the projection lenses are further apart it's impossible to make the pixels overlap on the screen," claimed Don Shaw, senior director of product management for Christie Entertainment Solutions. "You can align them in the center of the screen, but as you go out toward the edge of the screen, the lenses are difference distances from the screen so you get geometric irregularities and pixel misalignments."
At last week's premiere, the Quad -- for which Christie is planning a commercial release -- was used in conjunction with the Dolby 3D system.

"Derek Jeter 3K" to air July 28th

Remember that documentary HBO is doing about Derek Jeter's pursuit of his 3000th hit, "Derek Jeter 3K?" It's a go. It's airing on July 28th at 9PM on HBO.

Earlier this week Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that the Twins have no interest in trading Michael Cuddyer and in fact want to re-sign the impending free agent, but that hasn't stopped other teams from inquiring about his availability. According to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News the Giants expressed…

Bryce Harper is struggling at baseball for what might be the first time in his life. Promoted from low Single-A to Double-A last week, the former No. 1 overall pick has gone just 6-for-35 (.171) with zero extra-base hits through 10 games against Eastern League pitching. He's an 18-year-old in a league where the average…

Astros call up 5-foot-7 second baseman Jose Altuve
Jul 19, 2011, 6:40 PM EDT
The Astros likely got a little worse Tuesday with Jeff Keppinger's departure, but they also got a little more interesting. Jose Altuve is listed at 5-foot-7, but according to just about everyone who has seen him in person, he's likely much closer to 5-foot-5. And now he's the game's most compact major leaguer after being…

beanie pattern without the point
Hello everyone, Would anyone have a pattern for a child's beanie cap? I have several , but when I decrease it always goes to a point.. I have blocked..but I would really like a pattern that has a rounded top to it. Surely there is one out there ?
Also is there a mistake in these directions.? Its the Row 4 of a shawl Iam trying to knit . Here they are
K3, *insert needle through next st and y o and K1, yo, K1 in same st, sl both yo and st off needle (3 sts made) P3, repeat from * across row, ending last repeat with K 3.
I've never done this stitch before and Iam really confused .
thanks for any help.
Hi Annie, heres what I do . I start the decreases this way..according to the directions.
Knit 8, k2tog, finish the row like this, then I knit two rows , then I go down the line .. knit 7, k2tog, knit two rounds , etc etc...when Iam done the knit 1, K2tog, I do two rounds and then K 2 together until I have 6 sts on the needle. Then I put the stitches on a yarn needle and gather them. thats it ???? I get a cap for a cone head lol.
You have to stop knitting the extra two rows between the decreasing rows when you get down to the K4, K2tog round. After working this dec, go right into the next dec round, and continue this way till you have your 6 stitches. It's the extra rounds of plain knitting in between the dec rounds that's giving you the point on top. I knit the whole hat a bit longer before starting the decreases, only knit one round of plain K between the first few dec rounds, and then drop to no knitted rounds as above. I've probably knitted a hundred baby caps, chemo caps, caps for my family and have never gotten a "conehead" cap that wasn't intentional.

Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
15 Dec 2011 20:24 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, China, Lebanon
Syrian army deserters killed at least 27 soldiers and security personnel in a series of clashes in the southern province of Deraa at dawn, according to activists.
The clashes occurred early on Thursday at two locations in the city of Deraa itself, as well as a checkpoint at a crossroads outside the city, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
Meanwhile the US-based rights group, Human Rights Watch, released a report naming 74 commanders and military and intelligence officials as having allegedly "ordered, authorised, or condoned widespread killings, torture, and unlawful arrests" during the country's nine-month uprising.
Live Box 20117693233259422
At the same time, Iraq will send a delegation to Syria to try to convince Damascus to implement an Baghdad initiative to end months of bloody conflict, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said on Thursday.
"When I arrive in Baghdad, I will hold a meeting to prepare the plans to send a delegation to Syria in order to implement the Iraqi initiative," Maliki said as he flew back to Iraq from Washington.
"America and Europe are afraid of the phase after (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad. That is why they understand the initiative" from Iraq, Maliki said.
On Wednesday, at least 25 people, including eight soldiers, were killed across Syria. Army defectors gunned down the soldiers in a retaliatory ambush after government troops destroyed a civilian car, activists said.
Meanwhile, huge crowds rallied in Homs on Wednesday to express their rejection of the Arab League decisions against Syria, and any attempt at foreign interference in its internal affairs, Syria's official news agency, SANA reported.
According to SANA, "The crowds burned an Israeli flag with logos of some of the instigative satellite channels which are participating in shedding the Syrian blood through fabricating news and falsifying facts about what is really taking place in Syria."
Violence on Lebanese border
In other parts of Syria, the Local Co-ordination Committees (LCC) activist network reported that at least 10 people were killed in the central city of Homs, three in the northeastern province of Idlib, two in the capital Damascus, two in Deir al-Zor, two in Deraa, one in the northeastern province of Qamishli, one in the northern city of al-Raqqa and one in the town of Zabadany near Damascus.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
On the borders with neighbouring Lebanon, two people were wounded when a Syrian military patrol entered Lebanese territory and opened fire on a border town, a local official said.
"Syrian troops entered Lebanese territory today and opened fire on the village of Khirbat Daoud in Aarsal," said Bakr Hujairi of the municipality of Aarsal.
In a separate development, a state-sponsored newspaper reported on Wednesday that Syria's ambassador to the US, Imad Mustafa, had been named envoy to China.
Al-Watan newspaper said that Assad had issued a decree appointing Mustafa, who was recalled in October in response to the US administration's withdrawal of US ambassador Robert Ford from Damascus over security concerns.
Ford returned to Syria last week.
'Unconscionable' silence
On Tuesday, the UN said it estimated that more than 5,000 people were killed across the country since March in the government's crackdown on dissent, although Syria criticised the figure as neither objective nor fair.
Al Jazeera reports on the questions looming around the Syrian National Council opposition bloc
The briefing heightened divisions in the 15-nation council over how to respond to the Syrian violence.
Washington has denounced the Security Council's silence on Syria as "unconscionable."
But Moscow said that the West is pursuing an agenda of "regime change" by putting pressure on Syria's government but not on armed groups in the troubled country.
The Arab League has called an emergency meeting of the 22-member bloc's foreign ministers in Cairo on Saturday to respond to Syria's proposal to admit observers in exchange for an end to regional sanctions.
The meeting would seek recommendations for the ministers on steps to take if Damascus refused to agree to a proposal to allow human rights observers into the country, Mohammed Zaidi, an adviser to Arab League chief Nabil al-Araby, said.

Sneak Peek: Arthur Elgort – 'The Big Picture'
Gotta love Instagram for sneak peeks. I saw this one on hairdresser Christiaan's* Insta, it's of Arthur Elgort with his next photo book, The Big Picture.
It's being published by Steidl again who singlehandedly win the argument of why print is still relevant – theirs are just the best quality books in every way. The book comes out in November.

So I had a feeling 2014 was going to be a big year for blogging and I was right. Some of my blog buddies have achieved huge things this year, for starters, look how many fashion bloggers are writing books. Not e-books, but big printed things full of that weird stuff called paper. Susie Bubble is working on her second book (if you count Style Feed which she contributed to), while Sasha Wilkins/Liberty London Girl has just sent her convivial cookery book to print.

Book report: Seven Sisters Style
I'm so thrilled for Rebecca C. Tuite who has just published her book, Seven Sisters Style (Rizzoli, £22.50). I stumbled across her site a while ago, when she linked to a blog post I wrote about Vassar Girls. She later emailed to let me know she was working on this very book.
If you loved Take Ivy, you could consider this the female version, but it's so much more than a photo book. Continue reading
Books and Bowie at Louis Vuitton
Love books? Love Bowie? Love Vuitton? Here's a treat for you then. Louis Vuitton has tapped David Bowie as its latest guest curator for its Curated Bookshelf.

Beach & Disco: Massimo Vitali
Ahhh beaches and discos, my two favourite things. I love love love Massimo Vitali's cult photo book, Beach & Disco, perfect for perusing at this time of year while envying the likes of Marc Jacobs frolicking on the sands of St Bart's and other beachy New Year destinations. Here's Marc wearing his Orlebar Brown swimming shorts which depict their very own Massimo Visali-esque scene (thanks What's-He-Wearing-nee-00o00 for the heads up)…
London Fashion Week SS14: Day 5 highlights

If you go down to Harrods today…
Need a good reason to go to Harrods? Of course you do. Well here's one: Valentino has created it's very own pop-up shop to celebrate the unstoppable cult of the Rockstud. In situ until the end of the month, the Rockstud Rouge pop-up sells bags and shoes adorned with the famous pyramid studs, amid a selection of Valentino AW13 RTW in the expected shade of crimson. (Can I point out that the walls are studded as well…)
It bags may come and go but the Rockstud is in another league altogether. According to Harrods chief merchant Marigay McKee, "it has dominated the accessories market, growing in demand since its launch." Continue reading
Heads up: Tony Viramontes
Along with Michael Roberts and Antonio Lopez, Tony Viramontes was a major influence in my early quest to be a fashion illustrator. His dynamic brush strokes and androgynous subjects are just as impactful now as they were in the eighties. Good to hear there's a monograph coming out in October courtesy of Laurence King to celebrate the illustrator who died in 1988 at the age of 33.
A month before sees a 1stDibs.com sale of original Viramontes artwork and Polaroids, which until now have resided in the Viramontes family lockup in L.A. Mark your diaries for September 4th to snap up a gem or two…

An online petition asking the White House to designate the Catholic Church as a "hate group" for its views on marriage is drawing criticism for generating unjust animosity.
The petition reveals an "underlying agenda," which is not simply to prevent violent crimes, but to "stigmatize any disapproval of homosexuality at all and essentially to silence us," said Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C.
He explained to CNA on Jan. 3 that applying the "hate group" label to organizations that are morally opposed to redefining marriage is simply "name-calling designed to cut us out of the public debate."
Initiated on Christmas Day, a petition on the White House website had collected 1,640 signatures by Jan. 3.
The petition - which is aiming for 25,000 signatures by Jan. 24 - argued that Pope Benedict XVI's 2012 Christmas address to the College of Cardinals "demeaned and belittled homosexual people around the world."
"Using hateful language and discriminatory remarks, the Pope painted a portrait in which gay people are second-class global citizens," it charged.
"Pope Benedict said that gay people starting families are threatening to society, and that gay parents objectify and take away the dignity of children," the petition said. "The Pope also implied that gay families are sub-human, as they are not dignified in the eyes of God."
It called for the Obama administration to recognize the Catholic Church as a hate group, as defined by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.
However, Sprigg argued that the petition is "distorting" the Pope's words, which do not actually include hateful or discriminatory language.
In his address to the cardinals, the Pope did not directly reference "gay marriage" or "homosexuality" at all. Rather, he defended the Church's understanding of sexuality and "the true structure of the family, made up of father, mother, and child."

Great Watch for the Price!,
This review is from: Mudder 6 in 1 Sport Watch with Heart Pulse Rate Monitor Calorie Counter (Watch)
I typically don't use watches, but while commercial fishing there are exact times to start and stop fishing. You have to have a way to tell time on the boat. A watch is the most convenient way. I needed a watch that was affordable, decent in quality, and was durable. This one caught my eye because it also had a calorie counter and heart rate monitor. Interesting, right? And for about $15.00- why shouldn't I snatch it up? So I bought it.
Let me start with the few downfalls of my watch- and I'll end on the pros. My particular watch only reads military time. This is fine for me- I was raised a military brat. But I'm not sure everyone would enjoy it. The directions tell how to move from AM to PM time- so I'm assuming some of these watches are made with just a 1 through 12 option for time. But, this watch featured the 1 through 24 hours, and I can't find a way to change that- nor do the directions say how to.
The other downfall, as mentioned by the other reviewer, is that there is no light. So you can't see the time in dim lighting or the dark. For some reason I really thought this watch had a light, so I was really bummed when I removed it from the package and realized other wise.
Those are the only two negatives I can find. Now onto all the positives!
This watch is DURABLE. Commercial fishing is no mediocre feat. I've busted a lot of typical watches, while commercial fishing. They break, come undone, have odd knobs that get caught on the netting (such a pain and not safe at all). This watch works great in every way. It's very sleek design never gets caught on things. It doesn't snag on the rain jackets I wear. It seems waterproof. It's been out in the rain and dunked in water. It's never stopped working. It's not advertised as waterproof, but it's taken some light drenching and is still working fine for me. It's been banged around and knocked into quite a few things- and is still holding up well. Telling time as good as ever.
As for the modes on this watch- I love them. There is the stereotypical time and date mode. Both the time and date show on the same front screen. When you originally program the watch you can also activate your age and weight- which will help with the other modes of the watch's accuracy. There is a timer- which works great for our drift-netting of fish. We like to drift for around 45 minutes. With the timer we know exactly how long the net has been in the water, and can also time our efficiency of pulling the net out of the water.
There is also a heart rate monitor and a calorie counter. The heart rate monitor can be used any time. It's very easy. You basically click mode three times until you're on the monitor mode. Then you hold the set button down for 2 seconds to let the watch know you're ready. The watch will beep and tell you to put your finger on the sensor (located on the right top corner of the watch). After about three seconds it will flash a number- which is your heart rate. Convenient and fun to use. The calorie counter can only be used when exercising. You start the calorie counter as you begin to exercise. It calculates the length of time you exercise and when you're finished- it takes your heart rate (the same way the monitor does). Then it calculates your heart rate and length of exercise to estimate the calories you've burned. I always find this to be really interesting when I'm doing daily activities (I'm not really an 'exerciser). But it's interesting to see how many calories I put into gardening, walking the dogs, bringing in firewood, and other daily things.
The watch itself is very comfortable to wear. It's a little big for me- a female. But it'd be great for most males. Definitely big enough to fit around most men's wrists. The material is really comfortable. It doesn't absorb sweat or water so it never feels 'wet'. It has a plastic sort of make-up so it doesn't get dirty and is easy to wash if you spill something on it. It's movable, so you can flex your wrist without feeling confined by a watch. All in all I really love it. I'm happy I got it- and recommend it as an affordable watch for anyone who is also looking for a motivation to get active (the calorie counter really does bring awareness of your activity level!).

Stephen Bassett: Open letter to Hillary Clinton on UFO disclosure
On April 30, 2008, Paradigm Research Group sent an open letter to Senator Hillary Clinton. Two things remarkable about that letter and this resend are: 1) every word of the letter as sent in 2008 is exactly applicable in 2015, and 2) since 2008 the mainstream political media have refused to engage the facts behind that letter, which have huge implications for the nation and the American people.
UFO disclosure? The Chess Game Continues … Can You Find the Strategy?
There is a complex political theater underway right now because the truth embargo is in its last days. This fact poses serious strategic problems for the U. S. government in general and the Clinton advisory team in particular. During the 22 years since the Rockefeller [UFO disclosure] Initiative began, none of the Clintons' advisors or key associates have spoken a single word about it.

Joker Is Wild!
In 1966 the Tifton Record Company's efforts to cash in on the popularity of the Batman TV show resulted in the release of an LP called Batman and Robin. Though the jacket credited "The Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale", the musicians were in fact members of Sun Ra's Solar Arkestra and The Blues Project. The wonderful folks at WFMU have made this unlikely collaboration's wonderfully infectious music available for your downloading pleasure. Very fun, lively stuff, with a warm and rollicking sound. I've fallen in love with it.

The Worst and Therefore Greatest Musical of All Time
"Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?" [MP3] A stupefying song (sung by the Joker) from a forthcoming Batman musical, written and sung by Jim Steinman of Bat Out of Hell fame. He discusses the matter in depth on his blog. If it's a hoax I fell for it. But a cursory Google search bears it out!
Superman hates milk
How bad does All-Star Batman and Robin suck? Super-bad, apparently. Tales from the Long Box (and it's predecessor Hey Dork! Let's talk comics - all about halfway down the linked page) at i-mockery.com continue the fine tradition of providing perspective on both the anciently awful (such as the transcendental Superman Jr and Batman Jr's Excellent Adventure - Saga of the Super Sons) and the up-to-the-minute. So why is it more fun to read about comics these days than to read the things themselves?

Probability senses tingling batman!
Experts can suck at predicting the future. Their intuitive sense of probability is no more developed than lay-people's. A classic experiment is to present two indistinguishable choices are presented, but with unequal probability of reward. Humans look for complex patterns, which don't exist, and preform quite poorly. Rats quickly recognize the choice with higher probability, and preform optimally.
Composite Superman!
"I'm greater than Superman and Batman put together! Before I'm through, I'll have them cringing before the might of Composite Superman!" The mighty Composite Superman is brilliant artifact from the Silver Age of comics. A variation on the theme recently resurfaced in print and on television! Just goes to show that you can't keep a gimmick supervillain down. He's even got his own blog! (via Scans_Daily)

Batman=smart, Superman=superpowerful
Today's weird correction from the NY Times (reg required, of course). More fuel for the old "who would win in a fight, Superman or Batman?" debate.
This will be a good comic... good enough?
ComicsFilter (but bear with me): Frank Miller & Jim Lee will be the writer and artist, respectively, of All-Star Batman and Robin, a new miniseries intended to make the characters simple, interesting, and easy to follow after decades of backstory. Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely were announced to be doing the same thing on All-Star Superman, and any comics fan will tell you that these four guys are some of the best in the entire field. Between these two projects, DC Comics most likely has the top-selling books in the tiny comics industry sewn up for most of 2005, which is reason enough to publish them.
But there's also a question for non-comics readers here at MeFi: DC are really doing this for you. They want new readers (best-selling comics are lucky to top 150,000 copies these days), and they think publishing accessible comic books linked to the release of large movies (The Christopher Nolan film Batman Begins, based in part on Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, will be released roughly alongside All-Star Batman & Robin) is the way to do it. But is there a snowball's chance in hell you'd read something like this? Would your kids, if you have them, be interested, do you think? (Frank Miller, it bears noting, is also the creator and co-director of Sin City, a film you might've seen a preview for recently -- truly insane cast.)

The Malaysian Twin Towers
When in Kuala Lumpur, it's a must to scale the Petronas Towers and enjoy the view of the city. It was officially opened in 1999, and was the tallest building in the world for 6 years. Consisting of 88 floors, they are a stunning addition to KL's skyline.
Nothing quite prepares you for the first time you see the 88-storey ribbed spires of the Petronas Twin Towers. Stand beneath the glow of the towers and admire one of the world's great buildings. Islamic elements dictate the way in which glass, steel and concrete envelope these colossal spires. Soaring 452 meters into the sky, the twin towers' exterior is elegantly fitted with horizontal silver ribbons of stainless steel. Fluted and winged, the towers are linked on the 41st floor by a Skybridge. Ride the high-speed lift that zooms up to the Skybridge. Strolling along the glass-encased pathway some 170-metres above the ground feels as if you're floating over the city. Expect fantastic views of KL city from up here. Be sure to queue up early as there is only a limited number of passes allocated per day. There's also an informative exhibition on the construction of the towers at the visitors' center (on the ground level), which is fitted with plenty of interactive displays. The ever-popular Suria Shopping Complex, at the floor of the Petronas Twin Towers, offers a glimpse of the modern Asian shopping experience.

Petronas Twin Tower
This is one must in Kuala Lumpur, if you have possibility, don't miss.
There has been a lot of discussion about the queues and being early bird, but remember, if you have the time, at least in low season, there are good possibilities to get there without queuing.
We were there 6th March 2012 and it was low season. We bought tickets in advance (Sunday) and had a lot of times where to select.
They take 800 persons and 20 time slots. All tours are guided, you get a short presentation, then climb up to the gate, where your team get 15 minutes and after that the guide takes you to 86th floor where you have 20 minutes time.
The first picture tells the ticket situation 10:50, there are still places for same day visit, and from second picture you see the situation 12:02, the day is sold out.
Take tickets in advance, helps a lot.
Tickets were 50RM (cheaper if you are local), you have to go through security check and you get a color badge telling to which team you belong. Then just follow your guide they shepherd the group with those colored badges.

Kuala Lumpur icon
Admission to the Petronas Towers has gone up to RM80.00, and there are still limited amount of tickets (roughly 1300-1600,) available per day to travel up to the Sky bridge and the top floor 86th
In order to get one of these tickets you will have to queue outside of the tower entrance early as 4-5am and by 7am they let you go down to the ticket counter on the basement level of the building. Please note the ticket counter will be open from 8:30am but it is advisable to turn up earlier than this as the queues have normally started building before the counter is actually open.
Once you have been given a ticket it will be for one time slots from 9am - 8pm
Andrew Nash is providing the service to get the tickets on behalf, i booked on his website and i got the confirmation email and the tickets was there when we arrived to the hotel and we left his payment with the reception counter as his mention on the confirmation email, i think its worth then being in the queue for hours, and there is a service charge in additional for Andrew Nash service, it is safe and make things easy as the we don't do any payment before getting the tickets and we manage to plan well to spend our time in Kuala Lumpur, Many recommended his service on the tripadvisor.com, there where i gave a try ....
Its worth experiencing the top floor 86th, Andrew Nash recommended the 6 and 7pm slot which is the sun set slot and it was really a beautiful view. Many thank's to Andrew Nash
for those who never get a change to go up to petronas tower, you may try on the KL TOWER, is kinda nice view there too, and don't mis the bird part, such a wonderfull experince there... you may get a good advice and guide from Andrew Nash

"Happy got the tickets in advande before arrival..
You really can't visit KL without doing the towers. Having read previous reviews here we planned ahead and visited the ticket counter on our first afternoon (no queues yah!) and purchased tickets for in advance thru http://klccvisitingticketyolasite.com which made the process very simple. We got the ticket earlier at the hotel doorstep before we arrived. Thanks NASH. The biggest dilemma was choosing between a night or day time visit (we opted for the day). You get about 20 mins on the bridge and 20 mins at the top for RM50. On-line booking would be a great addition. Interactive screens at the top "read" your ticket and display extra info and graphics. Lifts are a little squashy so be prepared to get up close and personal. buildings are very impressive to look at (from the ground) at night.

Thanks Nash....
I thought it just went to the bridge, so when the 2nd half was to the top of one of the towers I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled to get that high. Awesome views at the other tower, at KL tower and the rest of the city.
Luckiy we booked the tickets thru http://klccvisitingticketyolasite.com/
Watch the ticket queue thing .... got there at 8:30, stood in line for 45-50 mins to realise that I was queuing for a ticket for a time slot later in the day. I clearly hadn't read up on it enough to understand the set-up. If I had my time again, I would get there at 8am sharp, or earlier, to get one of the 20 or 30 tickets for the 9am visit, or 9:15 visit, so that I only had to get to this address once. BUT, coming back for 5pm ticketted visit was okay as we came back early and chilled in the air cond' shopping mall underneath, bought some clothes in Gap and ate double choc Gelato. Fantastic relief from the KL heat before enjoying the one hour tour.

Credit goes to NASH............
On our recent trip to KL we were most disappointed that we were unable to take the tour of the towers, probably due to our own fault. We walked by the Petronas Towers on Sunday evening and after asking the security guard we were informed that you must get there early in the morning to guarantee taking the tour as only 900 visitors are allowed each day. Monday morning we skipped breakfast and arrived there at 6.30 only to discover that there are no tours on Mondays, so next morning we arrived at 7 am, took our place in line, but unfortunately we realised that we wouldn't have the time as we were flying out that afternoon. The first few people go on the first tour and as the queue arrives at the ticket counter, the later you are , the later your tour will be. SO, if you are thinking of a tour, get there early to avoid disappointment.

An architectural masterpiece
No visit to KL would be complete without experiencing the jewel in the city's crown -
This architecturally outstanding building is probably KL's most visited tourist attraction and advance booking is required to enjoy the city views from its skybridge and observation decks. There is an entry charge. Although the skybridge is located in the mid section of the towers it is certainly a fun experience to walk between them and see KL spread out beneath you.
Tickets are issued on a "first come, first served basis" and can be obtained from the Ticket office on the Concourse level. Only a certain amount of tickets are allocated each hour as there are restrictions on the number of people allowed on the Skybridge at any given time. Time limits apply but there is plenty of time to admire the views and take photos.
TIP: If possible visit earlier in the day as tickets may not be available later in the afternoon.
NOTE: The Skybridge and observation decks are closed on MONDAY and between 1pm and 2.30pm on FRIDAY for Prayer.
There is also an upmarket shopping centre at the base of the complex: Suria KLCC.
Magnificent Twin Towers
No travel to Kuala Lumpur would be complete without visiting the Petronas Twin Towers. Visitors get the chance to go up to the Skybridge, one that connects Towers 1 and 2. The view above is magnificent, and being there is just amazing.
Entrance to the Skybridge used to be free, but now you have to pay RM 50. Pick the schedule closest to nightfall, as the twin towers are really fantastic once lit.
Once the towers are lit at night, well, they're just breath-taking. They make you smile. They make you feel as though you are witnessing something so grand, so beautiful, so elegant. No photos ever taken can give justice to the beauty of these buildings. I love love love them!
Petronas Towers
The Petronas Twin Towers is a tower complex in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. When the building was inaugurated in 1998 was the tallest building in the world. On 17 October 2003, the height surpassed by Taipei 101. The Petronas Twin Towers remain the highest towers in the world.
The two peaks reach a height of 452 meters. This is the Petronas Twin Towers complex is currently (2011) the fourth tallest building in the world [1] after Burj Dubai, Taipei 101 Shanghai World Financial Center and International Commerce Centre. The building has 88 floors. The top floor of the building is situated 375 meters and the roof is 378.6 meters high.
The shape of the towers is derived from traditional Islamic forms.

Malaysia's 1st
Petronas Twin Towers became the iconic symbol of Malaysia's futuristic developments.
Petronas towers are the world's tallest twin skyscrapers which were designed by Argentine architect Cesar Pelli and Filipino Malaysian Engineer Deejay Cerico.
The towers features the skybridge which is open to all visitors but on a first come, first serve basis and limited for 100 visitors only. So, it would be better if you come in before 8am since a lot of tourists are expected to have a great view in the skybridge.
The skybridge connects the 41st and 42nd floors of tower 1 and 2 to provide added support.
To some, the twin towers were being compared to 2 persons holding hands and never letting go.
When we got here, the facility's under renovation... gawd!

A Classy Structure
The Petronas Towers are now my most favourite giant buildings ever. I went there today. The tour was quality. It began with a safety video and the video was projected onto a mist so it looked all ethereal and futuristic. I put my hand in it. Cool. Then we all squashed onto the elevator and took it up to the bridge connecting the twin towers. We were given fifteen minutes to take photos. The views were brilliant (photos still came out great even though it was a grey and rainy day, so you can imagine how fab they would have been had it been a clear day). We went further up to the viewing deck. Views from here: also brilliant, and there was a bunch of other stuff to do and see up there as well. A bit like a little mini museum. Was totally sad when I was told we had to leave; the time was not enough.
Would definitely recommend this.
TIP: Get your tickets a day in advance to avoid disappointment ... tours run all day until about 5.30 but they are often booked out.
There is also a pretty cool shopping centre attached to the towers called 'SURIA'. I bought fancy shoes there today. I normally hate buying shoes for myself because my feet are weird, but at SURIA, I found the perfect pair almost straight away. Yay.

Hat Rip: Matt @ The Underground Forums
We mentioned this in the radio show, and it's been circling around the internet for a few days now. I've been on the fence a bit on if I should write something about it because usually when I write stuff it ends up being rude. And apparently being rude to people with no arms or legs is up there next to watching child porn and beating women as a very severe form of douchbaggery. So lets see if I can broach this subject without coming across as too insensitive.
Kyle Maynard technically *does* have arms and legs … they're just stubbies that don't go past the joints. I dunno how he expects to win an MMA fight, but after watching some youtube videos of him grappling I can say he seems pretty good at avoiding submissions. Of course, by missing most of his limbs you're throwing out about 70% of submissions in the book. It'll also be hard staying in the mount position on him too … no legs means no passing … he can go from being fully mounted to full guard at the flip of a stump.
But Kyle's greatest advantage is the fact that WRESTLING A GUY WITH NO ARMS OR LEGS FREAKS PEOPLE OUT. I've been grossed out having to grapple with guys who sweat a little too much. I can't imagine what it's like showing up at a competition and getting paired up with this guy. Not only would it completely throw you off your game, it would be creepy as hell. Sure, we'd like to be civilized humans who aren't uncomfortable about disabilities, but for the most part we can't just help it. I'd probably break down and cry from the heeby-jeebies halfway through the match.
Anyways, the truth of the matter in this whole situation is Kyle isn't going to be doing "˜real' MMA … the fight will be in Georgia where amateur rules state striking an opponent on the ground isn't allowed. I'm not 100% sure if that just covers strikes to the face, or all closed fist strikes. But regardless, that works out pretty well in Kyle Maynard's advantage considering he's technically never standing. Without strikes the bout is basically a glorified grappling match, and I doubt the promoters will be booking anyone who wants to make their name off of "beating the shit out of that guy with no limbs".
After a long hard day of laying cement out on the farm, there's nothing better than going out back and shooting off your retarded .50 calibre rifle with some friends. This edition of 'Lets blow shit up' is brought to you by the Hughes brothers, Robbie Lawler, and Matt Pena. Continue reading for full pics.
Holy motherfucking shit … how in the name of God is that thing legal to own? How about we make a new rule: Any gun that's bigger than a picnic table shouldn't be legal to own by a bunch of rednecks out in Illinois. I'm actually kinda afraid of mocking Hughes now just in case he decides to shoot that thing at my house and reduce it to rubble.
Goddamnit I am pissed off. I've had to spend my time today dusting up on Nandrolone instead of riding ponies down at the ranch. This is the LAST TIME I'm gonna bring this up, and I'm just bringing it up to show what a total assface Dana White is with his 'experts' and his whack understanding of Nandrolone. Read this:
Olympic laboratories, tasked with ensuring that their tests are fair as well as effective, have researched natural nandrolone production regularly over the past quarter-century, the most recent study being conducted at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.
There, of 621 competitors tested after competition, only five produced results where their nandrolone levels exceeded 0.1 nanograms per millilitre of urine (ng/ml).All five were women. The levels in women are marginally higher, as a result of a different hormonal make-up and use of the contraceptive pill. But the levels are still minimal. Nobody in the Nagano tests exceeded 0.4ng/ml.
This just served to confirm the IOC's cut-off levels – a doping-control speed limit, where anything above 2ng/ml in men or 5ng/ml in women is regarded as an offence. Basic arithmetic suggests that the IOC scientists have set themselves a generous margin for error – 2ng/ml being 20 times what might be regarded as a "normal" level of nandrolone in men.
So there you go. No Dana, the average person doesn't walk around with 6ng. He doesn't even walk around with 2ng. The average person walks around with less than half a nanogram of Nandrolone (try saying that five times fast). And the limit was based on tests against Olympic athletes, people just as dedicated if not more to their exercise routine than Sean Sherk.
And here's the best bit on REAL scientists being pissed off with lawyers paying for tests that back up their client's bogus claims of innocence:
The British decision to absolve Richardson of any blame on the basis of the tests in Aberdeen infuriated Dr Christiane Ayotte, the head of the IOC lab in Montreal and the most senior drug tester on the Olympic list. "This research was not even carried out on a proper scientific basis. We test thousands of athletes every year. All of them train hard, and many of them use supplements. So why don't they all test positive? It makes no sense.
"We have been testing for nandrolone for 25 years – do they think we don't know what it is when we find it?"
Dana White is such a great double-talker. For the first half of this interview with ESPN, he says "I'm gonna bust the balls of anyone who's caught". And then he goes on to say this:
White: I've known Sean Sherk for a long time. He's a really good man. He trains hard and has worked hard to get where he's at. You and me probably have six nanograms [of the steroid Nandrolone] in our system; he had 12. Other guys who've been busted for the same steroid have had over 50 nanograms in their system. What my experts tell me is, there's no way that he would only have 12 in his system.
First off, Dana's 'experts' are wrong. The average active person walks around with less than 1 nanograms … guys like Dana probably have as little as 1/10th of a nanogram. That's a fuckload less than 6.
This whole '6' value is a total fucking myth … it was invented by lawyers trying to get athletes off the hook for doping. By and large it's just now considered the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM an athlete can test positive for without being instantly considered guilty as sin.
"There's no way that he would only have 12 in his system."
Oh come on now. There's SO MANY WAYS he could have 12 in his system. He could have been cycling off the shit. One of his 30 different supplements could have had it. Keith Kizer has already gone over the A to Z on all this and simply put, 12 is not a weird number at all. In fact, 12 is a much more suspicious number than the off the chart numbers dropped by guys like Royce Gracie and Nate Marquardt.
Anyways, I'm not God so I'm not about to pass final judgment either way. But to have the president of the UFC say he's going to crack down on steroids and then in the same fucking breath defend a guy who tested positive … it's just nuts! Simply put, this is not a good precedent, no matter how many threats Dana White makes regarding fighter testicles.

I may be interested in a few sacks depending on the price, I'm a good hour to an hour and a
half or so South of TO, so it may or may not work out for me, but I sure would like it to!

This has got to be one of the coolest finds I've seen here on HBT, if for nothing other than
the historical aspect. Very nice!
