Thoughts, but Not a Review
I figured I'd save my review because I want to finish checking out the extra content, but I also wanted to just take this time to share some more personal thoughts on the overall feel and story ofResident Evil 5. Fair warning, Spoilers ahead! Turn back now if ye haven't finished it or don't give a damn.
I liked the story alright, but I don't think I liked it as aResident Evil story. Part of it is because, be it Ouroboros or Las Plagas, it kind of feels like RE4 all over again, sans the amusing bit about the presidents daughter being kidnapped (and whether or not you're a bad enough dude to save her), and more whining.
First off, Chris Redfield. They try to convince us that Jill is dead but anybody with half a brain (From experience) can figure out that not only is she still alive, but that mysterious cloaked figure is totally her. I don't know how, but I think that whole story could have been handled much better and made for a much more gasping reveal, as opposed to "How is it that Me and Wesker are the only people in this room that have figured it out?"
Sheva, aside from having the most made-up sounding name since Dr. Spaceman (30 Rock reference, it's pronounced "Spa-che-men"), has almost no history. And she's so uptight and sans a personality that there's really no empathatic link properly established to her, at least from this guy's opinion. Ashley at least was a helpless damsel, so you kind of had to establish empathy out of necessity, though I did manage to take a rocket launcher to her more than once out of frustration. What I think is even worst is how they try and shoehorn the most atypical story ever: Parents were killed by blank, so I'm going after blank. Overall she felt more tacked on, and, given my comments above, couldn't she just have been Jill?
Playing through Resident Evil 4 I found myself wowed and in awe almost every time I reached a new chapter because of the interesting scenarios that were presented. Be it the first time I fought Del Lago, or the grandiose and over the top archecture of the castle, the game never ceased to amaze me at where it was going. Five? Not so much. In fact, aside from swapping my Ganados with Majinis, there wasn't a whole lot of difference. We had our 3rd world village, a big lake, a factory or refinery type scenario... Aside from a little time in the savannah, nothing really felt new. All technically impressive environments, sure, but nothing really made me go "Oh, wow, this is interesting," in terms of scenario.
Also, where was the banter? We don't even really have a villain to personify until Chapter 5, when Wesker and his pair-of-boobs partner show up. Before then there was just that Ricardo guy but he had like 10 lines. None of these characters had the ominous nature of Mendez, Salazar, or Sadler. And again, where was the banter?! Where was my "Writhe in my cage of torment!" or "Saddler, you're small time!"
Overall I felt the game took itself too seriously, especially considering some of it's history. Between the Bourne I-Wannabe camera angle and the stuffy dialogue... I don't know, as much as the gameplay is still phenomonal and the presentation is immaculate... The story wasn't really there for me. And there were no real characters that drew the experience together, beside Ricardo, and he was terribly shortlived. Even my long-amored Wesker seemed a little plain this time around.
Also, why did they cut theMerchant? He was my favorite character... Instead I get a faceless shop screen, which, for the record, is far clumsier than the Merchant ever was.
Thoughts? Disagreements? Other things you would like to bring up? Don't get me wrong, I love this game, and once I get through the rest of the content my review should reflect quite well upon it. I just kinda wanted to get this set of details off of my chest, because for the most part I don't think it should reflect as negatively as it might sound in my review.
-Make it a good one.

My Rating
The tour was fabulous. The gardens beautiful and our tour guide pleasant, professional and widely knowledgeable Getting into areas of the palace not allowed by the general tour made it all worth it. My husband and I hope to go back in two years and bring our three children. If you have to choose between this and the Louvre or the Orsay. This is well worth it

Oh, and yeah...those invisible torpedoes can follow you for quite a bit of distance. At least 15km. In the past, I would evasive maneuvers out of a cube's range. The regular torpedoes follow me fizzled out. A few seconds later, I instantly exploded.

I have MACO mk XI shields while I was in orbiting space.
My shields used to be a little over 10k. Now, it's 9k. I'm definitely sure it was 10k, because, when I equipped the Omega deflector, my shields would drop a little over 100 points, putting it in just under 10k. Now it's pretty much ~1k with the field generator nerf.
In sector space, it's just under 6k (where consoles and modifiers are not applied).

20+ years expert SQL database designer preferring MySQL and PHP.
United States - Last active: 12 hours ago - Tests: 48 - Portfolio: 4
I am one of the top database design specialists on Upwork. My sophisticated hand-crafted database design will save your organization significant time and money. I am a serious professional with over 20 years of experience as a programmer and database specialist. My emphasis has been on creating elegant SQL database design integrated with user-friendly front-end software (desktop and web applications). I have worked mainly as a database designer, programmer and database administrator for bioinformatics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biomedical research applications. I also have extensive experience programming database-centric software (websites, web applications, desktop applications) for publishing, business, financial, personnel and other purposes. One of the things I enjoy most is creating database schemas which make sense for both programmers and non-programmers, designing with an eye toward flawless data integrity, maximum maintainability and optimal performance. I love crafting websites and web applications which perform with shocking speed. It makes for a better experience for users, developers and administrators. My expertly designed database systems - with well-written queries, intelligently chosen indices, and sensible caching strategies - can easily perform 10 to 100 times faster (using the same underlying hardware). My emphasis when working with clients is on their data and system usability, not specific trends or technologies. But in case you're wondering about some specifics, I strongly believe that the database data should be integrated with but also somewhat independent from a presentation/application layer. Data in the database should be easily accessible from one or many different applications built using one or multiple different technologies. Currently I favor PHP/JavaScript/HTML5 for web applications, RealBasic/Real Studio/Xojo for cross-platform applications [Mac OS X/Windows/Linux], Xcode for Mac OS X-only/iOS applications, Visual Studio for Windows desktop applications. I prefer using MySQL for back-end RDBMS, but I also use Oracle, Microsoft MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL and SQLite on a regular basis. If your data and information organization is already in great shape, and if you are satisfied with how your database-integrated software and website performs, then you probably don't need a high-end expert like me. I can make routine modifications, add to well-crafted existing systems, etc. But so can many other people. But if you're just getting started on a new system that you want done right, or if you suspect your database website programming strategy needs an overhaul, then I can get you on the right track in a short amount of time. * * * * * * * * Let me mention a few of the client-friendly policies and practices I apply with all my clients. I don't do these things to distinguish myself from other contractors. (I would hope they all do the same.) I do these simply because this is how I would want to be treated if I was the client: - You don't need to have your own web servers; I can host development and/or live production work on my own high-capacity servers. - I don't mind working on a client's servers, or doing dev work on my servers and transfering finished work to client's servers. - I do not charge clients any fees for hosting their websites or software systems, or for moving their websites or software systems elsewhere. - I provide clients with root log-in access to all the work I do for them; you are welcome to log into the server (cPanel, FTP, and phpMyAdmin) at any time and copy or back-up or move any work I do for you. - If I am working for you, all work product, all source code, all database design belongs to you. Always. Period. - I am happy to work with you and/or other programmers you enlist to work on a project; I am happy to pass off development work. - I do not provide mysterious "black box" solutions. I am happy to have you look under the hood at everything I do. You don't need to know anything at all about the inner workings of a system. Or you're welcome to ask about the most intricate details. - If we're developing a system from scratch, I prefer to do so using very widely-available technologies (PHP/MySQL/JavaScript/HTML5) which you can hire countless other people to work on if you decide to have other developers work on your system. - Do not be embarrassed to ask ANY question! I enjoy working with clients who have zero technical know-how in programming/databases/etc., partially because I appreciate their expertise in OTHER fields (real estate, art, medicine, law, science, civics, etc.) If you already know everything about databases and programming you probably wouldn't need me, would you?

The ceramicists at Atelier NL took cues from this intrinsic desire for regionally-produced goods and produced a line of pottery that is geotagged with the location of each area farm where their clay was sourced. Just think: You could potentially eat vegetables that were grown in same soil that the bowl is made from.
Each of Atelier NL's vessels is marked with a code that relates to a farm from a 460-square-kilometer polder (a Dutch derived work for low land area) in the central Netherlands. At the invitation of Jurgen Bey and Rianne Makkink, Atelier Designers took up artists' residencies here to study the creation and development of this agricultural area called Noordoostpolder.

I also made crayon cakes in mini muffin tins and popped in a mini adventure book I made (puzzles, word searches, and games for the older ones, coloring for the younger).
I also love to make play-dough. I added leftover glitter from Christmas, put in some mini cookie cutters I no longer used and a dowel I had DH cut up from soemthing - I have no idea what - but it was a leftover. I sanded the edge of each one to make a "rolling pin".
All in all, it was very well received.

I got some craft sticks (popsicle sticks) at the thrift store and we are going to cut out fairy silhouettes, glue them to the popsicle stick and decorate with glitter.
We are also getting some tiny containers at a craft store, filling with aloe vera gel and adding glitter to make fairy dust for the girls to put on their bodies.
Making something fun to eat is a really good idea also and something dd can help with.

Motley Crue Singer Vince Neil Sentenced to Two Weeks in Jail for DUI
AP reports say that Neil, 49, will serve two weeks of jail time, plus two weeks of house arrest. The singer agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor driving under the influence when he appeared before a Las Vegas judge on Tuesday.
His publicist released a statement on his behalf, saying, "I have recognized that you can't drink and drive at all."
Neil's lawyer, David Chesnoff, added that the singer could have faced up to six months in jail and said his client "recognized that he needed to take responsibility for his actions."
The Motley Crue rocker is scheduled to begin serving his sentence Feb. 15. He was arrested June 27 for driving under the influence, only a week after declaring his sobriety.
This isnt the rock-and-roll frontman's first brush with the law. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and drunken driving in a 1984 crash that killed his passenger, 24-year-old Nicholas Dingley. Neil was 25 at the time and walked away uninjured. He served 20 days in jail and paid $2.5 million in restitution to victims.

Guess Vince Neil didn't learn from killing someone while driving drunk in 1984. What a shame. You would think at 50 years old, he would know the damage that can be caused by DUI.
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy patman
I agree!! I quit drinking 15 years ago, I was 40. I never killed anyone and think his behavior is immaturity and he cares about no one but himself
- Wednesday 19 JanuaryBy BTDT
"He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and drunken driving in a 1984 crash"
He does it again and gets off with two weeks? Travesty.
"charges of drunken driving in his Lamborghini last September"
"He was arrested June 27 for driving under the influence"
So which was it? Or was it both? Nice reporting.
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy jckfmsincty
Why the plea bargain and only two weeks? Clearly, justice is not blind in America.
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy pgrlights
he got off real easy, in other states that would be serious jail time
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy Lisa
It's hard to believe that Vince Neil only got a slap on the wrist for drunken driving after incident in 1984. They should have thrown him in jail and tossed away the key.
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy K
He never stopped drinking. They all say that. He killed someone and still hasnt learned. Dont really like the guy. Who wears a shirt with there name on it....???? The groups name... but his??? Maybe hes his own group.? Both him and his wife look the same... wait a minute... they have the same plastic surgeon...LOL
- Wednesday 19 JanuaryBy Sekinu2
Yeah guess you don't know much about Motley Crue or Vince. The shirt is a promo shirt for his solo career. he has just released a 3rd solo record and the pic is bit old from when he was promotiing the new solo cd tour.

Just watched his Celebrity Ghost Stories episode and he has had many demons to face in his lifetime. Heartbreaking that he was responsible for a death in 1984, and he also lost a child to cancer. He claimed to have stopped drinking and wanted sobriety.
Obviously no one learns any lessons and he has proven that with all the chances he gets. So many celebrities take their successes for granted.
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy Tiffany
Wow, not much of a punishmment...especially after the fact that he killed someone many years ago.
- Wednesday 19 JanuaryBy Dono
He killed a guy before while driving drunk! 2 weeks? Are you serious? He admitted that after he killed that guy and was ordered to do a PSA on druck driving he was drunk making the tv spot. Pathetic! The Las Vegas judge should be ordered to let a drunk Vince Neil drive him around town for awhile!
- Tuesday 18 JanuaryBy steener122
He was arrested late June 27 for driving under the influence, only a week after declaring his sobriety.
Ha. Sounds like something that would have happened to me back when I was using. Although I'd get pulled over on my way home from "the NA meeting" or something....
Hope he can pull it togther though. I really do.

Study: E-cigs increase 'superbug' MRSA resistance
"These studies are all in dishes and mice so far, so it's hard to extrapolate," she said.
Another researcher not involved in the studies, Dr. Michael Siegel of Boston University, made the same point, using many of the same words.
"What happens in cell cultures is not always relevant to the clinical situation," said Siegel, a professor of community health sciences. "You can't necessarily extrapolate from what's called an in vitro study to what would happen to an actual human being."
Siegel said the research is best interpreted as "suggestive evidence" of a possible effect that requires human studies to be confirmed. A study conclusion that the evidence suggests e-cigarette "vapers" are more vulnerable to infection went too far.
"That's way, way more than they can conclude from this study," Siegel said.
Stopping resistance
The researchers are trying to find out the mechanisms for MRSA resistance and how it might be thwarted by altering the components in e-cigarette juices.
Resistance may have been encouraged by changes in alkalinity and acidity, Crotty Alexander said. Cells cultured with the vapors became excessively alkaline, increasing from a pH 7.4 to 8.4, and then became excessively acidic. This appears to be an inherent property of nicotine, she said. Nicotine itself is an alkaloid compound.
Other experiments examined the effect of e-cigarette vapor on human epithelial cells, the kind that line the lungs and on mouse immune cells found in the lungs called alveolar macrophages. Exposure reduced the ability of these cells to kill MRSA compared to control cells not exposed.
The immune-suppressing effects on the nonbacterial cells may be caused by something other than nicotine, she said.
"I think it would be really cool if we could find a way for people to use these in a safe way," she said. "We are looking at different components of the e-cigarette juices to try and find the problems within the juices. They do have juices that don't have nicotine, so we're testing those as well."
Testing the juices is a major effort, Crotty Alexander said. The researchers tested about six flavors, including cappuccino, crème brûlée and chocolate mint. But there's far more that haven't been tested, from many sources.
"There's over 200 companies producing these juices," she said.
The study was funded by the VA with support from UCSD. For more information on the study, contact Crotty Alexander at email@example.com.

12,000 cops to finally get guns
MANILA, Philippines—The wait will finally be over for some 12,000 policemen.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) will start distributing next week the first tranche of close to 60,000 service pistols that it had purchased for P1.2 billion last year.
Chief Supt. Generoso Cerbo Jr., the PNP spokesman, said Tuesday that President Aquino might even be on hand to lead the symbolic distribution of the 9-mm Glock 17 Generation 4 pistols in turnover ceremonies at Camp Crame on Monday.
He said the procurement of 59,904 Glock pistols would end the shortage of short firearms for the 148,000-strong police force.
"Every pistol went through the stringent process of inspection to make sure that the firearms conformed to our standards and that all were free from factory defects," Cerbo told reporters.
Completed training
According to Cerbo, only those policemen who had completed the required marksmanship training, as ordered by PNP Director General Alan Purisima, would receive the new service firearms.
"This is to ensure that each PNP personnel who gets a service pistol will be able to use it appropriately," he said.
As stipulated in the contract it entered into with the Trust Trade and Glock Asia Pacific joint venture, the PNP received the first delivery of 12,000 pistols in February.
The second tranche of the pistols has arrived in the country and is undergoing inspection, Cerbo said.
Biggest procurement
Considered the PNP's biggest procurement in recent years, the pistols contract was awarded to Trust Trade, the second-lowest bidder, after R. Espineli, which offered the lowest bid of P974 million, was disqualified for failing to comply with documentary requirements.
Trust Trade, which submitted a bid of P998 million, offered the Glock pistols at P16,659.94 each, much lower than the P20,000 price that the PNP had set for each pistol.
However, two of the losing bidders, Kolonwel Trading and Roferma Enterprises, claimed that the bidding was attended by irregularities and filed graft charges against 16 senior officials of the PNP in the Office of the Ombudsman.

Mine has his games. This isn't one of them. But after Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas came out he disappeared for like a week. And it's been that way with a few other big games like Dead Rising 1 and 2, and a few other games. But you know, I'm ok with that. He lost me for whole 8-10 hour stretches when Castlevania: Lords of Shadow came out and with every Zelda release I was gone from his life for days on end. So, while he has more games he disappears into than I do I certainly understand it.

Obama to push for Latin American arms treaty
In the past, Obama said, America has been "too easily distracted by other priorities" while leaders throughout the Americas have been "mired in the old debates of the past."
More than 10,000 people have been killed in Mexico in drug-related violence since Calderon's stepped-up effort against the cartels began in 2006. The State Department says contract killings and kidnappings on U.S. soil, carried out by Mexican drug cartels, are on the rise too.
A U.S. military report just five months ago raised the specter of Mexico collapsing into a failed state with its government under siege by gangs and drug cartels. It named only one other country in such a worst-case scenario: Pakistan. The assertion incensed Mexican officials; Obama's team disavowed it.
Indeed, the Obama administration has gone the other direction, showering attention on Mexico.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in Mexico City that the U.S. shared responsibility for the drug war. She said America's "insatiable demand" for illegal drugs fueled the trade and that the U.S. had an "inability" to stop weapons from being smuggled south.
Obama has dispatched hundreds of federal agents, along with high-tech surveillance gear and drug-sniffing dogs, to the Southwest to help Mexico fight drug cartels. He sent Congress a war-spending request that made room for $350 million for security along the U.S.-Mexico border. He added three Mexican organizations to a list of suspected international drug kingpins. He dispatched three Cabinet secretaries to Mexico. And he just named a "border czar."
The Justice Department says such Mexican drug trafficking organizations represent the greatest organized crime threat to the United States.
The White House is vowing more enforcement of gun laws. But it is not pursuing a promise Obama made as a candidate: a ban on assault-style weapons.
That ban on military-style guns became law during the Clinton administration in 1994 but expired under the Bush administration in 2004. When Attorney General Eric Holder raised the idea of reinstituting the ban this year, opposition from Democrats and Republicans emerged quickly.
Reopening the debate on gun rights is apparently a fight the White House does not want to take on right now.
"I think that there are other priorities that the president has," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said this week.
Mexican leaders, though, say the ban saved lives.
The swooning economy, blamed largely on failures inside the United States, has taken a huge toll on Mexico. About 80 percent of Mexico's exports – now in decline – go to the United States.
Obama and Calderon are likely to tout the value of that trade, but a spat between their countries remains unresolved. Mexico has raised tariffs on nearly 90 American products, a retaliation for a U.S. decision to cancel access to Mexican truckers on U.S. highways despite the terms of a free trade agreement.
On immigration, Obama is expected to make clear he is committed to reforms. The effort is likely to start this year but won't move to the top of his agenda.
"It's important because of the human costs," Obama said in the CNN en Espanol interview. "It's something that we need to solve."

Invisible walls no longer working?

Invisible walls are still working for me. I have found, like you, that some of the old "work arounds" still work better than using the NPC/Enemy appear/disappear feature.
Are you using "Invisible Wall - Tall"s? If so, make sure you are placing their Y value to be slightly below ground so that you can be sure there isn't a gap at the bottom that can be seen through (putting the Y value down by 5 or so should be sufficient, and the invisible wall - tall will still stick up quite a bit higher). Also, it might help to put a double layer of walls so that the player's boffs can't jump through and trigger the enemies accidentally.
I'd also suggest boosting the Y value of the enemies so that they are off the ground. They'll still spawn on the ground, regardless of whether they are set slightly off the ground. However, it will ensure they don't spawn beneath the ground. It sounds to me like your NPCs are spawning beneath the ground and thus seeing beneath the invisible walls.

Gamers who finished September's Dead Rising 2 know the zombie action game leaves some plot points unresolved. Those loose ends may be tied up soon, as Capcom today confirmed a December launch window for the game's downloadable epilogue, Dead Rising 2: Case West.
The Xbox 360-exclusive Case West features the return of Frank West, the protagonist of the original Dead Rising, as well as his camera. Frank will team up with Chuck Greene, star of Dead Rising 2, to uncover the truth about Phenotrans, the pharmaceutical company behind the Zombrex medication that treats (but doesn't cure) people infected by the undead hordes.
Set at Phenotrans' Fortune City facility, Case West will see the undeath-defying characters resort to their old tricks. The original game's picture-taking gameplay and the sequel's duct tape-driven weapon combinations will both return, with both Chuck and Frank able to snap pics and wield an amalgamated arsenal of odds and ends.
Case West will be the second downloadable Dead Rising offshoot, bookending the story of the original game along with August's Dead Rising 2: Case Zero. Also an Xbox 360 exclusive, Case Zero served as a prequel to the full game, telling the story of how and why Chuck found himself in Fortune City just in time for a catastrophic zombie outbreak.
For more on the series, check out GameSpot's reviews of Dead Rising 2: Case Zero and Dead Rising 2. For more on Case West, read GameSpot's previous coverage.

A novel aroA gene encoding 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase from Bacillus cereus was identified and overexpressed by genomic library construction and complementary screening. The enzyme was then purified to homogeneity. We also transformed the aroA B. cereus gene into Arabidopsis thaliana by a floral dip method, and demonstrated that transgenic A. thaliana plants exhibited significant glyphosate resistance compared with the wild type. These results strongly suggested that the strategy was highly efficient and advantageous for rapidly cloning aroA genes from microorganisms in natural environments.

Scientists create 'nano LEDs'
Transmission electron microscope image of nano LEDs emitting light (all images courtesy NIST)
The transmission electron microscope image shows four rows of nanowires and their corresponding nanowalls, nicknamed "nano LEDs" because they emit light when electrically charged
Graphic illustrates a single row of nanowires (cylinders with red tops) with fin-shaped nanowalls extending outward
Article Summary
Chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have stumbled upon a way of producing light from nanowires. While they were refining a method for producing horizontally-grown wires across a substrate, Babak Nikoobakht and Andrew Herzing electrically charged an array of junctions between two materials and caused illumination to occur. The pair hope to further refine the technique so that these nano LEDs can be applied in the development of light sources and detectors useful in photonic devices or lab-on-a-chip platforms.

Hi Nick,
I finally saw your response 5 weeks later! I had forgotten about this. I also saw your Private message, but I can't respond until I do three more posts after this one. We have had Footloose for five years and keep her in Kittery, Maine. I have never seen another 323. We love her. We are her second owners and since nothing had been updated since 1984, I have done many upgrades. The boat was kept in excellent condition. I would be interested in some of the mods on your boat.
The pictures of your boat are great and the ones showing the pole are very helpful in planning where to locate mine. How high is it, 8'?
I do have some pictures I can share, but I have to reduce them first. I'll try to do that in a couple of days.
Thanks for responding and sorry it took so long for me to notice.

"My Home, My Singapore" snuggie's Profile
Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home
When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That homes about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home
(For this is where I know, I'm HOME)
Xitang is a famous town with thousands of years of history, located in Zhejiang Province, China.
Xitang is a very lovely town, less bustling and commercialist as compared with other water town. Xitang is about 90 km away from Shanghai and 110 km from Hangzhou. It is built on a plain crossed by nine rivers and this divide Xitang into eight districts.
In Xitang, there are well-preserved groups of buildings of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) with relatively high artistic quality and research value. It is famous for its large number of covered corridors, lanes and bridges.
Shanghai is a mix of east and west, old and new city. Shanghai, is the home to almost 12-million people and is China's largest city. It is situated in the centre of the coastline where the Yangtze River flows through its delta into the East China Sea.
The two chinese characters in the name "Shanghai" simply mean uo or on the sea. Shanghai today, is China's biggest city and also the biggest seaport as well as the major center of economy, sciences and technology and culture.
Shanghai is well known not only as prosperous metropolis with rich cultural resources, but also for a number of new tourist attractions that have been developed in recent years. Huangpu River, Jin Mao Tower, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Yuyuan Garden just to name a few.
Beijing,being the capital of China has a long long history and is the home to the emperors during the Ming & Qing Dynasty.The forbidden city is a must see activity for all tourist.Another must see is the hutongs or known as the 'narrow alley'.The hutongs surrounding the Forbidden City and Prince Gong's Residence as the center are the more well preserved one.
As Beijing is making preparing for the Olympic in 2008,many old building are making way for new roads and building.
Bali is a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago. It is so picturesque and immaculate. Bali is a favourite destination among the western tourist and every year,many of them flock to this paradise.However,Bali today lies the memory of the 2002 Kuta bombing.
Something about Bali
Country name: Bali
Area: 5,620 sq km
Population: 3 million
People: 95% ethnic Balinese, Javanese
Main Languages: English, Indonesian
Religion: 95% Balinese Hindu, Muslim and Christian
Seoul is the capital of South Korea and is one of the largest city. It is encircled by mountains with a population of 10 million. Seoul has brought itself all the way from the Yi Dynasty capital of the Hermit Kingdom to become one of the most dynamic city in the world.
Today Seoul is a neon lit example of modern technology and architecture, and yet it retaining its ancient heritage of temples, palaces, and traditions.
This lovely show was staged in the theme park of Sony Dynasty in China Hangzhou. It was meant to showcast the beautiful legends such as
1) Beautiful Mysterious Legends of the West
2) Song Palace Dance
3) Shining Spears & Armored Horses
4) Meeting of peoples from the world
Do drop by my Hangzhou pages for some more information of each scene.

In addition to the debut of the first two LeBron X NSW Lifestyle colorways, we see the King's EXT series tripled in a single day when the Denim edition drops alongside this above-pictured pair. Its release date freshly announced on Friday, this Nike LeBron X EXT is perfectly executed with luxury expressed by the materials, colorway and limited numbers. The color code appears to be updated from Hazelnut and Tide Pool to Suede Brown and Sea Royal, which would both be new for this release. Stick with Sneaker News for more details and check out some new images below to tide you over until the big day.
