Boat Quay, Singapore

17 Reviews
Semi-concealed by the whiffs and buzz from the Indian restaurant on the ground floor, St. Monica's is an all-encompasing dive bar. Serving up craft beers and ciders alongside a select list of yummy cocktails created by their very yummy owner, St. Monica's is a necessary enclave. It isn't a huge space, but it works perfectly for this dive with its DIY benches and tables. From the looks of it, it's got a loyal following but walk-ins are well embraced. The view is definitely one to appreciate as well - If you're lucky, you might even get a perfectly unobstructed view of some spectacular firework displays!
In the area Boat Quay is easy to walk around and so to make photos like here-
at real and the photo shoes it-
it is an interest impression comparing architecture of the new towers with the old traditional buildings at the quay.
And surprising in Singapore, at clear nights even here inmid the inner city between the great towers some south stars are to see (photo in 1997)-
compare it with the night view inside the blanket of smog in Jakarta!
This area is the place to be at night. Very nice ambience with a lot of street performers and couples strolling around this place. This area also houses a lot of clubs, bars and restaurants. A must place to visit in Singapore...
Boat Quay is a waterfront place with a lot of lights and colorful restaurants specializing in seafood but also has Asian, Italian, Western and Indian restaurants.
The thing that I didn't like is the tables are too close one to the other, and before you choose the restaurant the waitresses are stood in front of the restaurants calling you and showing you the menu, and some of them are a hassle, but the food and the ambience is very nice, the air is fresh and is very safe.
Boat Quay and Clark Quay are next to another. Renovated riverside warehouses, there are popular drinking holes and eating by the river for Western tourists. There is even a chair bungee to fling you up in the air for an ultimate thrill. Just do not be wearing short skirts to show it all as there is a live video to capture the world experience that others can see you screaming and yelling your head off.
Food here is no doubt pricey but it is for the ambience and privilege of see and being seen by expats and their local friends. Worth walking up and down even if you are not going to eat, drink or party there. There is also a boat cruise if your legs get tired of walking.
Looking for a nice place to spend the night? Head on down to Boat Quay, where you'll find a huge variety of restaurants and bars. Located on the bank of the Singapore River, Boat Quay has a lot of al fresco dining options, as well as airconditioned restaurants. I suggest starting the night off at one of the restaurants, before heading for a pub crawl. There's plenty of pubs and something for everyone; from all you can drink watering holes to upscale bars with live music. It's your pick and you're surely bound to find something to your liking!
Dress Code: Trousers are appreciated in the bars. When just going for dinner anything will do.
As other VTers suggested I took a night ride in bumboat ($12), the trip takes around 30 mnts, but it was worth it, since I can see scenery of Singapore in the night, that's why I called City of Lights
Dress Code: Very casual, jeans, short, t-shirts anythings comfortable.
This stretch along the Singapore was once a decrepit place that were closed to being demolished by over-zealous developers. However, Singaporeans have seen the value of old heritage buildings that they have decided to save the old colonial structures and transformed it into a row of tylish restaurants and pubs.
Dress Code: Now an upmarket place frequented by overworked Financial District workers, the patrons in the restaurants along the river are well-dressed in their business attire.
Eating here is more pricey. The beers are expensive.
yes, for hang-out with friends to family meeting can be arrange here. while talking, enjoy the wind blowing to the singapore river. nice and comfy. but also loud of music and i found several of warehouses that changed into resto and bar painted too colorful ... ohh, make my eyes bit sore!!!!
Dress Code: casual and comfy.
Yup, i'm very much into live music, be it hard rock, blues, R&B or jazz! =)
This place is very very sexy...the music, the crowd, the limited space, the cosy ambience...and of course the music again. It's very soulful and true-blue jazz.
But unfortunately i'm not very good with names of these fantastic jazz players. They are pretty big and famous in this industry. Why don't you go visit and find out for me??
Another it's very very crowded. You will need to come at around 7pm or earlier to get a seat. Bear in mind, this place is not very big. Go up and you will see what i mean.
Happy Hours from 6pm to about 8pm
Dress Code: smart-casual
Many locals say that EATING is their habit and lifestyle ... its amazing to see establishments where ever you turn your head..... really never get caught with a hungry or empty stomach.
This place is highly recommended to go and experience the atmosphere. Locals and expatriates water hole are located here too. There are many dinning and water holes here from various nations, ranging from Vietnamese, Thai, French, Italian etc...... whatever food you fancy can be sample here as most of the Chefs are "Imported" from their origins.
Dress Code: Smart Casual
All along the Boat and Clarke Quays, there are numerous restaurants and bars / nightclubs. This was the center of action for tourists, and a few locals were thrown into the mix, as well. While not providing the excitement of Bangkok, this area has its upside, in that it is completely safe and still rather fun. The restaurants serve overly expensive meals, so try not to eat here. Just come for the party!
Dress Code: Casual,
Toned-down club wear
Sorry...but I don't like this spot...it might be in a nice area beside the water but the music is terrible, the DJ play the music too loud and the crowd inside is not my type...
Seems like all the tourist flock there though...I don't know why...
I much prefer Mohd Sultan St. There's better choice of clubs there.
(thought I'd put a picture for the guys of what you will NOT see on Boat Quay)
Dress Code: Anything you feel like
Near the financial district, this Quay retains its historical look much more than Clarke Quay. It's a great place for lunch, dinner or just a drink.
I am neither a clubber nor a pubber, so I have no recommendatiosn as to nightlife in Singapore, but this is the spot. In any case, it's nice to just stroll around and watch other people.

The Snakes of Southwest Florida
Eighth in a series of visual guides to the region's natural resources
NAPLES - Southwest Florida is home to about 26 beautiful and fascinating native snake species, and many more regional subspecies and races.
Four species are venomous. There are no standards for identifying venomous snakes but precautions to avoid dangerous encounters include: keep walkway borders free of debris, use caution when working low to the ground, giving all snakes a 10-foot berth, and learn the region's venomous species.
More than half the venomous snake bites reported each year involve humans handling snakes. Most snakes avoid humans if possible.
Recently, the Brahminy blind snake (averaging 2.5–6.5 inches long) and Burmese python (13-27 feet) have been introduced into Florida from southeast Asia.
The harmless silvery-black blind snake likely came here in the soil of exotic potted plants. This all-female species quickly spread by cloning itself in a process known as parthenogenesis.
The Burmese python is popular in the exotic pet trade but many quickly outgrow their enclosures and affections, only to be released into the Everglades. They are breeding and hundreds have been collected, there where they raid wading bird rookeries and challenge alligators for supremacy.
Snakes have gotten a bad rap. Since ancient times, more misconceptions have been perpetrated against these legless reptiles than all other animals combined. Snakes should be treated with respect and caution, but they are not the monsters they have been made out to be.
As significant predators of rodents and insects, snakes keep pest populations in check. Unfortunately, most snake species are suffering due to habitat loss, over-collection and persecution.
What you can do to help: Visit exhibited native snakes at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, or books from the library; preserve habitat and enhance property edges with garden pools and cover such as brush piles or plywood.
As for pets, purchase only captive-reared snakes and do not release pets into the wild.
We should look upon snakes as part of our rich natural heritage — rather than something to be destroyed.
Florida Banded Water Snake — Common and pugnacious with a large triangular head, dark individuals are frequently mistaken for Cottonmouths. A strong swimmer, this variable reptile is easily seen by flashlight, hunting at night in wetlands for fish and frogs. Females average larger than males. (24–42 inches)
Southern Ringneck Snake — A harmless pencil-sized charcoal-colored snake with a broken orange neckband, the ringneck coils the vibrant vermillion underside of its tail and releases copious musk when alarmed. It feeds at night on slugs, earthworms and insects and is favored prey of the Coral Snake. (10–14 inches)
Eastern Hognose Snake — When threatened, the hognose dramatically spreads its neck, hisses and vibrates its tail. If further pressured, it plays dead until its attacker withdraws. It has an upturned snout, enlarged rear fangs and mild venom for capturing toads, but is completely harmless to humans. (20 – 33 inches)
Black Racer — Frequently seen because of daytime activity, this quick, slender and graceful serpent prefers a speedy retreat — but will strike aggressively if cornered. Quite different from adults, the young are heavily patterned in gray and rust. It preys largely on lizards and frogs. (30–60 inches)
Eastern Indigo Snake — At lengths up to 103.5 inches, this beautiful glossy blue-black serpent is the longest North American snake and, sadly, a federally listed threatened species due to development of its woodland and scrub habitat. Famed for its venom resistance, this animal regularly eats other snakes. (60–84 inches)
Corn Snake — This attractive species varies from orange and red to gray and rust, but it draws its name from the characteristic bold black and white checkered "Indian corn" pattern on its belly. A skilled climber, this "red rat snake" readily ascends trees in search of rodents, eggs and small birds. (30–48 inches)
Yellow Rat Snake — Also known as "chicken snake," this serpent may be found around hen houses eating rodents as well as eggs. Two color forms, both wearing four dark stripes the length of the body, exist in our area; yellow with a black tongue and the orange Everglades rat snake with a red tongue. (42–78 inches)
Florida Kingsnake — This snake is partial to wetland borders with plenty of cover where it hunts frogs, turtles, rodents and other snakes. Like the Indigo Snake, the kingsnake seems immune to snake venom. Glossy and highly variable, this heavy-bodied serpent ranges from mostly black to a butter color. (36–48 inches)
Eastern Coral Snake — This slender colorful cobra relative is fairly retiring, hiding most of the time. It dines on lizards and other small snakes and is mimicked by the harmless scarlet snake and scarlet kingsnake. Coral snakes wear red bands bordered by yellow; mimics sport red bordered by black. (20 – 30 inches)
Florida Cottonmouth — This pit viper's name comes from its habit of exposing its cottony white mouth lining when alarmed. An adept swimmer, it is also known as water moccasin. It hunts cypress swamps for fish, frogs, snakes and alligator hatchlings. The young twitch their yellowish tails to lure prey. (30–48 inches)
Dusky Pygmy Rattlesnake — This handsome hot-tempered little serpent resides near marshes and wet prairie where it eats insects, frogs, lizards and mice. The diminutive rattle produces an often overlooked insect-like buzz. This scrappy little reptile strikes ferociously and repeatedly when cornered. (15–22 inches)
Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake — Favoring palm scrub and pine woods, this majestic predator, like the gopher tortoises with which it often cohabitates, is now rare due to persecution and habitat loss. This imposing, magnificent serpent feeds on rabbits, rodents and birds. The record length is 96 inches. (33-72 inches)

5 Reasons Why Aliens WOULD Only Land in the US
Subscribe to our newsletter
Every god damn science-fiction movie it's the same thing, with aliens coming to Earth and always landing in America. What's so great about America? There are thousands of other countries on the planet, so why is the US of A the typical destination for interstellar travelers? Well OK, the last time the aliens ventured beyond American borders like in "District 9" they got locked up in slums and concentration camps, but besides that, there are actually 5 very good reasons why aliens would bother to trek through the cosmos and eventually land in our backyard.
The People
If they are the good kind of aliens: they would immediately notice our cultural obsession with the cosmos and little green men, which would make these space visitors feel safe in landing right here. Our culture is very friendly to the alien kind. Right now all across the country there are people openly believing in aliens and even willing to accept them as their new Gods.
Plus, the aliens would probably want to set a few things straight with those people who are claiming they were abducted and molested by extraterrestrial perverts. No one wants to be remembered as a cosmic rapist, so that's just one more reasons for the aliens to land in America.
If they are the bad kind of aliens: they would immediately blend in. Look at the streets right now. Observe them long enough and you are bound to see some crazy hobo in a tinfoil hat and a shower curtain instead of actual clothes, or some bored douchebags running around in monkey costumes because they think they are so outrageous. We are all utterly unfazed by the insanity that is going on around us every day.
This environment creates the perfect opportunity for the evil aliens to blend in and plot their enslavement of the human kind, because even if anyone spots them, they are bound to be mistaken for children in Halloween costumes or common drug hallucinations.
The Movies
If they are the good kind of aliens: they have undoubtedly intercepted our TV and radio signals that have been going out into the vast vacuum of space for a couple of decades now. They saw our movies and our TV shows and among the transmissions coming from the US they must have caught all the productions about aliens that we have spewed out.
It goes without saying that they would first of all land in Hollywood to become instant movie stars - the envy of their planet. Incidentally they would probably also want to correct us on our misunderstandings about alien folks, because we do NOT want to get on the Alien Anti-defamation Association's bad side.
If they are the bad kind of aliens: they have undoubtedly intercepted our TV and radio signals that have been going out into the vast vacuum of space for a couple of decades now… and therefore know all of our weaknesses. We really f****d up here people; we have basically given away our planetary defense strategies to the enemy!
After watching "Independence Day" the aliens now know to make their computer OS incompatible with Apple products, and after "War of the Worlds" they are bound to invade us in those anti-cold facemasks. The aliens know where to hit America so it will hurt the most, and it's nobody's fault but our own.
The Population Concentration
If they are the good kind of aliens: they would naturally be drawn to America due to our high population concentration. The USA is hardly the biggest country in the world, but unlike Russia, Canada or Kazakhstan the majority of our land isn't a barren wasteland of depressive nothingness.
All aliens wanting to visit Earth would take a quick look at our East and West coasts, see how many people are living there packed tightly into organized communities and decide that those are the places where they should reveal themselves to the world. Just like a professional flasher always performs in front of the biggest possible audience.
If they are the bad kind of aliens: they would naturally be drawn to America due to our low population concentration in the middle of the country… where our nuclear stockpiles are kept. It seems like we are asking for an otherworldly invasion on our country. By landing in places where there are fewer people, the aliens would have an easier time disarming our nuclear warheads and later enslaving the living crap out of us with what would amount to alien sticks and stones.
Once again, we would only have ourselves to blame. Those atomic missiles should have been kept in the middle of Manhattan, but does anyone listen to the voice of reason? Nooo...

text: Red Sox Show Interest in Scott Rolen By Anthony Emerson , Analyst Jul 14, 2009 Share Tweet Next ARTICLE » Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images) 535 Reads 18 Comments According to multiple sources, the Boston Red Sox seem to be interested in the Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Scott Rolen. Rolen was a member of the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals before joining the Blue Jays. He was traded from the Cardinals to the Jays for power hitting first baseman Troy Glaus. You might or might not know that the Red Sox are also interested in Blue Jays' ace pitcher Roy Halladay. It's unknown whether or not the Red Sox will pursue Rolen and Halladay in a package deal, but it will certainly take a lot of good prospects and major league talent. Red Sox fans can kiss Clay Buchholz, Michael Bowden, Casey Kelly, and Lars Anderson goodbye. Seriously, how many aging third baseman do the Red Sox need? And does Theo Epstein really want to mortgage the club's future to a division rival? The answer to that question better be "no". Plus, a third base problem will start next spring training, when Mike Lowell and Rolen will both be vying for the same spot. However, this season Rolen is hitting the ball a ton. So far this season, Rolen is hitting .320 with six home runs, and 35 RBIs. Rolen has 94 hits in 77 games.

Nice quality. The only issue I had was the bolt on the tip. It needs to be at least one gauge bigger. I stripped the threads right away when i started to fasten it. I had a bigger bolt and it worked well. I had to shim it also to fit.


text: Sepang Practice 3: Rosberg and Hamilton tops as Mercedes show their hand 29 March, 2014 137 Nico Rosberg tops in FP3 One thing is certain at Sepang: Mercedes have the upper hand and their rivals could be looking at a full second deficit to the Silver Arrow,s as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton hogged the top of the timing sheets at the end of the third and final free practice session of the Malaysian grand Prix weekend. Rosberg powered around Sepang International Circuit in a best lap time of 1:39.008, which was almost a second up on his best time in FP2. Hamilton was 0.232 of a second down on his teammate, the pair the only two to dip below the 100 seconds mark in the morning session. Next best in third was Kimi Raikkonen, again trumping his Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso who ended the session seventh fastest, the Spaniard over half a second down on the Finn. Kimi Raikkonen was best of the rest Despite a myriad of fuel sensor and power unit related issues, Sebastian Vettel ended the one hour session fourth quickest in the Red Bull RB10, with Daniel Ricciardo sixth fastest. Splitting the blues, on the timing screens, was Nico Hulkenberg in the Force India who was again quicker than teammate Sergio Perez who was tenth fastest – half a second between the two. Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas were eight and ninth respectively, the Williams outfitperhaps keeping their powder dry until it really matters, each notching up 20 laps apiece in the session which was five or six more than their rivals ahead. Also clocking some good mileage, after a woeful first day, were Lotus pair of Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado. The latter hardly turning a lap a day earlier racked up 20 laps and set the 16th best time in the process, albeit 4.5 seconds adrift of Rosberg's benchmark time. Sebastian Vettel fourth fastest Grosjean was tad faster, with 16 laps on his chart, but was clearly unhappy, Grosjean: "There is no performance from the diffuser. The rear end is a disaster." Lotus saw the lighter side of their predicament when they tweeted: "We didn't set the time sheets alight in #FP3. Fortunately we didn't set the cars alight either." Ahead of Round 2, McLaren top the constructors' standings, but FP3 suddenly turned their thus far positive season upside-down as an engine sensor problem affected both cars, neither Jenson Button or Kevin Magnussen doing any meaningful running in the session, and the pair could even miss out on qualifying as the team rush against time to resolve the issue. The team said afterwards, "It's not quite the nightmare scenario but there is a lot of work to do between now and [qualifying]." Nico Hulkenberg With Mercedes setting the pace by some margin, perhaps consolation for the rest are the rain laden clouds looming overhead and threatening to burst over Sepang, and perhaps impact qualifying, if not the race. And also that the pace setting Mercedes W05 may not be kind enough to its tyres to be as effective in the race.

The Book of Madness and Curesby Regina Omelveny
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Dr. Gabriella Mondini, a strong-willed, young Venetian woman, has followed her father in the path of medicine. She possesses a singleminded passion for the art of physick, even though, in 1590, the male-dominated establishment is reluctant to accept a woman doctor. So when her father disappears on a mysterious journey, Gabriella's own status in the Venetian medical society is threatened. Her father has left clues--beautiful, thoughtful, sometimes torrid, and often enigmatic letters from his travels as he researches his vast encyclopedia, The Book of Diseases.
After ten years of missing his kindness, insight, and guidance, Gabriella decides to set off on a quest to find him--a daunting journey that will take her through great university cities, centers of medicine, and remote villages across Europe. Despite setbacks, wary strangers, and the menaces of the road, the young doctor bravely follows the clues to her lost father, all while taking notes on maladies and treating the ill to supplement her own work.
Gorgeous and brilliantly written, and filled with details about science, medicine, food, and madness, THE BOOK OF MADNESS AND CURES is an unforgettable debut.
"Poet O'Melveny's debut fiction is like a lyrical composite creature — part father/daughter epistolary novel, part aristocratic diary, part adventurer's travelogue, and part compendium of allegorical diseases. When 16th-century Venetian doctor Gabriella Mondini is barred from practicing medicine, she sets off across Europe in search of her father, a respected doctor who left under mysterious circumstances 10 years ago to gather material for his Book of Diseases. As a rare female doctor, Gabriella needs his mentorship, but his letters have grown increasingly incoherent; as she follows his route, she hears disturbing stories about his erratic behavior. Forced to cut off her distinctive red hair, she travels as a man through villages empty of women and girls after mass witch burnings. Her own adventures begin to rival the tales in her father's letters as she encounters suspicion, condescension, respect, and even romance. Gabriella's father continues to elude her, and she must face the possibility that she no longer knows where to find him. Yet she cannot resume her own life until she does. Gabriella's servants Olmina and Lorenzo accompany her and act as a pair of Sancho Panzas, providing mild salt-of-the-earth comic relief when not worn down by a yearning for home. By the time Gabriella reaches Morocco, where she believes her father to be, she too yearns for the comforts of Venice. But she has changed in ways that will greatly complicate her return. Readers will be delighted by O'Melveny's whimsical embellishments, though veterans of historical fiction may balk at the poetic, metaphor-laden prose and fancifully piebald construction. Maps. Agent: Daniel Lazar, Writers House." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
A brilliant debut about a woman doctor in Renaissance Venice, forced to cross Europe in search of her father.
Gabriella Mondini is a rarity in 16th century Venice: a woman who practices medicine. Her father, a renowned physician, has provided her entrée to this all-male profession, and inspired her at every turn. Then her father disappears and Gabriella faces a crisis: she is no longer permitted to treat her patients without her father's patronage. She sets out across Europe to find where-and why-he has gone. Following clues from his occasional enigmatic letters, Gabriella crosses border after border, probing the mystery of her father's flight, and opening new mysteries of her own. Not just mysteries of ailments and treatments, but ultimate mysteries of mortality, love, and the timeless human spirit.
Filled with medical lore and sensuous, vivid details of Renaissance life, THE BOOK OF MADNESS AND CURES is an intoxicating and unforgettable debut.
About the Author
Regina O'Melveny's poetry has been published widely in literary journals, garnering several prizes. She grew up at the edge of pungent chaparral in La Mesa, California, and chose to enroll at Callison College--a school of International Studies at the University of the Pacific--almost solely based upon the fact that the second year would be spent in India. Thus began her many extended travels that would later inspire The Book of Madness and Cures, her first novel. She lives in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

How do I stop suffocating my boyfriend?

Most Helpful Opinion
Cut down on the communication and time that you spend together. This will help a lot. It sounds like he feels that you are giving him no space and time to him self.
Try calling or messaging him once every other day max and do not have any more communication than that. Just because you are not talking and seeing each other all the time it does not mean that he is not thinking about you.
When it comes to time together. Once or twice a week is plenty, you do not need to spend any more time together and it is important that you have time apart to do your own things.
Have you considered getting a part time job? This will give you money to do things, give you something to do in your spare time and is also a way of making new friends. Also maybe get some hobbies. I.e join a running club or something like that - Again a way of meeting new people and giving you something to do.
Guys like girls who can be independant and think and do things for themsleves. When girls get clingy they find it a turn off and it can make them end things.
By getting a job, getting hobbies, making new friends and cutting back on the communcation and time you spend with him you will come across as independant and strong and he will find this very appealing and a big turn on and will make him appreciate you more.
What Guys Said 1
What Girls Said 3
It sounds like you need some other interests besides him. If you're away from him, having fun without him, then he has some space to miss you. And when you do get together, you have more to share.
So pick something that you love, or something you've always wanted to learn, and go do it. Buy supplies, take lessons, join something. Have fun! You and your relationship will be better for it.
I agree but I don't know what, I have no spare money and my friend has recently really betrayed me so my boyfriends all I've got.
You really need to step back a little. Your man cannot be your everything, because it's draining for him. And it's not good for you either.
If you had a whole day where you could not contact him in any way, what would you do? Assume you can't screw around online or watch TV or otherwise p*ss your time away.
What things were you involved in before you met your boyfriend? Answering those questions should help you find something YOU would enjoy doing.

Apple releases iTunes 10.1.2, compatible with CDMA/Verizon iPhone
Apple has just released iTunes 10.1.2, a minor point update that claims to provide "a number of important stability and performance improvements." Unless they're planning to update it again in the next few weeks, might it not also include support for the Verizon iPhone and iOS 4.3?
Once you've installed it let us know if you see anything else new!
UPDATE: Sure enough, eagle eyed readers point out CDMA iPhone 4 compatibility is mentioned in the release notes. Why not jsay Verizon iPhone 4...?

Apple releases iTunes 10.1.2, compatible with CDMA/Verizon iPhone
If it was necessary for 4.3 wouldn't that have already released the beta to developers?
Same here. No update for me. 10.1.1
Just got home and I have an iTunes update waiting for me.
Por que no iTunes 10.1.2?? WTF?! I hate when they release a new version of iTunes, and they neglect to include EVERYONE's accounts. It's stupid
"Why the verizon iPhone? Apple is a world wide company. Verizon isn't the only carrier using the CDMA iPhone."
Wow... really? I must have missed the incredible flood of announcements from all over the world, the dozens, nay, hundreds of carriers with CDMA networks who will be carrying the iPhone now.
To clarify, the reason that Rene mentioned that it's odd that it doesn't say Verizon iPhone 4 and instead CDMA iPhone 4, is because Verizon, for the moment, is the only CDMA network in the world offering the iPhone 4. I am sure others are to come, but the comment makes sense for now.

The CINE HDSLR Rain Slicker from Porta Brace is a heavy-duty accessory that should be considered a requirement for anyone who uses their HDSLR outside. It is designed specifically for a rail-mounted HDSLR or modular Cine-Style camera rig, with or without mattebox. This water-proof coat protects your gear from the elements as well as adding an additional layer against dust and potential scratches. And, if you're a pro out in the field on assignment, you don't have room for error or need to worry about your gear getting soaked by some cheap piece of fabric that you thought would do the job.
The double-layer of touch fasteners across the top leave room for flashes and lights and there are plenty of vinyl windows through which you can see your display screen. There are two detachable lens covers - one for standard and another for zoom lenses. For ease of use, the sleeves have elastic openings that permit full access to the camera.
Porta Brace specializes in quality protective bags and cases for your expensive equipment. Since 1972, their products have all been handcrafted in the United States. They are constructed to the highest quality and performance standards.
- Two different detachable lens protection covers: one for matte-boxes and a second for traditional or zoom lenses
- Sleeves with elastic openings on either side of the case provide full access to camera controls while keeping your camera and hands dry

I need a fast way (1000's of typechecks per second) to typecheck generated Haskell source code.
We tried hint which was fast enough except it cannot access dynamically loaded code unless the source code is available which we would not have in some cases. Maybe there is some way to register dynamically loaded code as a package or something since hint can access registered packages it seems?
We tried using the ghc api, but it appears to require the files be on disk and all the file IO required makes it too slow.
We can use haskell-src-exts to generate the code, but we need to typecheck it.

- The following comes from Kris Zellner's Lucha Report: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Alberto del Rio gave an interview with Yahoo! Deportes over the weekend where he admitted that Mexico isn't in the WWE plans anymore due to declining a economy, attendances, ratings, and even piracy. ADR said that once WWE sees that a market is beyond saving in their minds then they would turn their attention to newer markets. ADR said that a couple of years ago Mexico was held in high regard by the promotion but their last tour there last year was considered a flop in their eyes with the lack of merchandise sold being a key factor in determining that the product just wasn't hot anymore. ADR spoke of his future and said while he hopes to return to Mexico one day he feels a deep sense of gratitude to the WWE for giving him the opportunity that made him a superstar and they stood by him in very difficult situations.

Wedding locations in Santa Barbara include the many beautiful beaches, the Mission, the dramatic Courthouse lawn and a variety of parks. Just like in Hawaii sunset is the most popular time for the wedding.
Santa Barbara like Hawaii hosts a lot of weddings. Most weddings are for locals although it is a destination wedding location for those traveling from Los Angeles and other Southern California locations. Often called the American Riviera, Santa Barbara is a natural for a destination wedding.
Mr. Steffan grew up in Santa Barbara prior to moving to Hawaii and knows the area and the people. In that same interview he said that "Santa Barbara has that similar spiritual feeling to Hawaii". He also wanted to let people know that since one of the best photography schools in the nation, Brooks Institute of Photography is located there, a great selection of high quality photographers and videographers exist for the clients choosing.

Transit Benefits, Cutting Contractor Pay, Collective Bargaining and More
- By Eric Katz
- February 18, 2015
- Leave a comment
Federal worker compensation is facing a pair of Kings.
No, this is not referring to a poker game. After all, the Office of Government Ethics prohibits feds from gambling while on the job.
Instead, two lawmakers -- both named King -- have introduced measures that affect federal pay and benefits. Rep. Pete King, R-N.Y., has unveiled the 2015 Commuter Benefit Parity Act, which would give federal employees -- and all commuters -- the same benefit cap as those who drive to work.
The 2009 stimulus package first raised the commuter transit benefit significantly, but renewing it has proven to be a nearly annual battle. The benefit actually dropped nearly in half in 2014 to a maximum of $130 per month, but Congress voted to retroactively bump the subsidy up to $250 per month in December.
Pete King's measure would set the monthly maximum at $235.
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, has his own ideas for reforming federal compensation. The more conservative King has introduced a measure to repeal the Davis-Bacon Act, which sets the minimum wage for contractors on federal public works projects. The law, originally enacted in 1931, requires federal agencies to pay laborers and mechanics the "prevailing wage" -- or the pay...
Aggressive Lobbying on Pay Issues, Veterans Suicide Prevention and More
- By GovExec Staff

Two major federal employee unions have gathered for their annual legislative conferences, and while their styles may be a bit different, one thing is clear: they are both hitting Capitol Hill aggressively on behalf of their members' job security, resources, pay and benefits. One area of focus for the National Treasury Employees Union and the American Federation of Government Employees is repealing the across-the-board cuts from sequestration scheduled to return in October.
"If I meet one more politician who tells me we need to tighten our belts, I'm going to take my belt off and I'm going to whoop his ass," said AFGE National President J. David Cox, in a speech to union members Monday.
NTEU President Colleen Kelley was much less combative, but her message was similar: Sequestration has "shackled agencies in myriad other ways" in addition to hiring freezes, furloughs and decreased training, she said during that union's conference last week. "If Congress does not adequately fund our agencies, we will fail in our efforts to deliver on our missions, period."
Other items on the unions' agendas include: keeping the Homeland Security Department open past Feb. 27, when funding is scheduled to run out; obtaining...
Prescription Drug Price Hikes, Pay Raises, Benefits in the 2016 Budget and More
- By GovExec Staff
- February 4, 2015
- Leave a comment
These days it's rare to find a benefits change that will both save the government money and help federal employees. But the Veterans Affairs Department on Wednesday touted a new service that does just that. More than 57,000 veterans are using an online tool that allows them to track the status of their prescription medications requested through the VA Mail Order Pharmacy, the department announced.
The prescription tracker – available through My HealtheVet -- was the idea of VA employee Kenneth Siehr. The tool is designed to save money by cutting down on calls to VA medical centers, and it earned Siehr a Securing Americans Value and Efficiency (SAVE) award in 2013.
VA is planning further enhancements to the tracker, including images of the medicine being sent and a secure messaging alert to let veterans know when an order is mailed.
"VA prescription refill online is an excellent example of how one employee looked at the process of VA prescription tracking through the eyes of our veterans and came up with an idea that better serves veterans," said Carolyn M. Clancy, VA's interim undersecretary for health, in a statement.
Meanwhile, some participants in the military's TRICARE health insurance...

It's that fun time of year. No, we're not talking about the Super Bowl. It's time to start assembling all your tax documents. If you received a withdrawal from your Thrift Savings Plan account or a taxable loan in 2014, your IRS Form 1099-R will be arriving soon in your mailbox. If you don't receive it by mid-February, you can print out a copy at TSP's My Account website.
In more uplifting news, disabled veterans newly hired by federal agencies are a bit closer to receiving paid sick leave to attend medical appointments. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee passed H.R. 313, the 2015 Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act this week, sending it to the full House for a vote. Also this week, Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., introduced similar legislation, S. 242, in the Senate.
While new federal employees begin their careers with no sick leave balance—they accrue it over time—the bill would give veterans with a 30 percent disability rating or greater 13 days of sick leave to use for medical treatment related to their injuries.
The National Treasury Employees Union strongly supports the legislation. "The...
Paid Family Leave, Double Incentive Pay for a Stressful Job and More
- By GovExec Staff
- January 21, 2015
- Leave a comment
The president's annual State of the Union speech often addresses the role of government, broadly, and may even give a shout out to particular federal workers. But it rarely delves into specific federal pay and benefits issues, and this year was no exception. Obama did, however, make reference Tuesday night to one hot button proposal that would affect the federal workforce: paid family leave.
"Today, we're the only advanced country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick leave or paid maternity leave to our workers," Obama said.
He did not specifically mention civil servants, but they are among the workers who lack paid maternity leave. Last week Obama ordered agencies to change that, by advancing employees six weeks of paid sick time to care for newborn babies or ill family members. He asked lawmakers to pass a bill granting another six weeks of paid leave for the birth, adoption or foster placement of a child.
Of course, it's unclear if Congress will cooperate. Past proposals to give feds paid parental leave haven't gotten very far. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., has been offering bills along those lines since 2000; the House has passed the measure...

Post subject: Please help me DISABLE font smoothing in OOo under Tiger
I have OOo running on Tiger (10.4.
, and it seems to be working great, but it's ignoring my global font smoothing settings (I want NO font smoothing). From what I've read, X11 is using its own font-rendering settings.
Surprisingly, I haven't found the solution by searching here or in the app's "Help" file.
Please tell me there's a way to entirely disable font smoothing, because if I can't disable it in in OOo I definitely won't be able to use OOo. Thanks for any ideas!

Doesn't Apple provide any documentation at all for it's version of X11? I tried a Google search and there's nothing of any real use about it. One thing I did find suggested reducing the interface fonts in OOo and below a point they won't be covered by X11's antialiasing.
Unfortunately OS X is nothing like the Unix system it's supposed to be as they broke POSIX so I've no idea where it would be but there will definitely be some config files for X11 somewhere. I'd ask an Apple Mac forum.
Which OOo version are you using? I here that 2.0.4 does improve font integration.

Thanks, I will ask in a mac-dedicated forum (so far the searching in sch forums has turned up nothing), and if anybody else here has any ideas, I would still be reallygrateful to hear them!
X11 is clearly not following any font rendering settings from elsewhere in the OS (it anti-aliases every character, both in the interface and in the app wndows, no matter how tiny the font)... and it has a grand total of 6 user-configurable settings in its "Preferences" GUI.
Everything I find by Googling is either app-specific (how to disable anti-aliasing in Gimp, etc.) or assumes more UNIX background than I have or can figure out...
To answer your question about the version #, I was trying 2.0 -- I just dl'd and tried 2.0.4 and it appears to have exactly the same issue. (The difference is that this version does ask at first use whether I want to use "Apple system fonts" -- I said yes, but it's still anti-aliasing everything at every font size.)
(But hey, I see there's an Aqua version coming sometime soon!!! On a page "Last Updated 2006/09/05" it says "1-3 months" til the public Alpha...)

for mac and oo.o and forums, this is really it. you may be able to find some x11 info, maybe on the gimp or inkscape sites.

Thanks, jakeosx!
I think it it's only a few months' wait til the Aqua version, I can handle that wait... the Aqua version will follow my existing rules for font rendering (I've eliminated antialiasing as much as I possibly can in OS X -- there is no true system-wide elimination of it in Tiger, as far as I or anyone I've found on the web can figure out...).

Thanks for the postings people. It seems I'm not the only one desperate to get rid of antialiasing (who invented that monster anyway..)
I can confirm OOo ignores the global font smoothing settings and unchecking "Screen font antialiasing" in OOo's Tools-->Options-->View menu doesn't do anything either. Ironically the only thing not antialiased is the OpenOffice title bar (e.g. "Untitled1 - OpenOffice.org Writer" looks exactly how I want it
Turning off antialiasing is a bitch in Tiger anyway. I managed to limit the use of antialiasing to the menus and title bars with a command I found floating on the net (edit.. might as well put it here: setting this default in the terminal: "defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 128" will turn off font smoothing for fonts up to size 128 (does not work in OOo
) ) Apple should implement a global turn off antialiasing switch. It is really mind boggling that such an important visual item in the user interface can not be changed easily in 2007. I thought we had left the Computer Stone Age behind us but alas..
Too bad, I can/will not use OOo like this. Sadly the aqua version hasn't arrived yet.
at least 1-2 months before a pre-release alpha

Thanks jakeosx. I installed NeoOffice on Tiger (OS X v10.4.8 ) and here's the result:
Notice which parts are anti-aliased and which are not. Though I still can't completely eliminate smoothing this environment is a workable solution for now.

In the past year, my biggest achievement occurred through my role as a student attorney in the immigration clinic. I was able to secure the release of a mother and her six year old son from immigration detention. The family came to the United States fleeing gang violence and had been imprisoned for more than three months. I argued for their release before a judge in immigration court and helped arrange for payment of their bond. After the bond was paid, I drove to the detention center in Karnes City, Texas to pick up my client and her son and bring them to Austin. The family was so grateful for my assistance in securing their freedom, and the positive change in my client's demeanor was striking. I was able to accomplish this with the superb training and guidance I received in the immigration clinic and through a network of attorneys and members of the community serving the population of families detained in Karnes City, Texas. This experience reminded me of the value my legal education has to make substantial change in the lives of others.
I have known I wanted to attend The University of Texas School of Law since I was in high school. I am from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, so after I decided I wanted to become an attorney and hoped to settle in Texas, I knew I wanted to attend the state's most reputable law school. My decision was reinforced when I was researching the school during my application process. I plan to practice immigration law, thus when I learned about the school's clinical opportunities and the impressive work of the Immigration Clinic, I knew I had made the right choice.
My great-grandparents emigrated from Mexico, and I've always loved learning about history and different cultures. The fact that America is a country founded by immigrants has led to my intrigue with the phenomenon of immigration, even before I became aware of its legal implications. My interest in modern day immigration piqued when I moved to Phoenix for my undergraduate studies. Many of my friends were children of immigrants or had immigrated when they were very young. Some of them were undocumented, and it seemed so unjust that we were all high achievers and had so much in common, yet the fact that they were born on the other side of the border created a host of problems for them that I did not have to face. I hope to use my legal education to assist those caught in the web of our convoluted immigration laws and policy today.
I remember that my grandmother, despite her very humble means, opened her door to everyone and provided any help she could offer, no matter how small. Her example of generosity and the message of social justice I learned from my parents instilled in me the notion that part of the human experience is helping others. During my undergraduate studies I found like-minded people through community service student organizations, and in doing volunteer work with these individuals my passion for service flourished. I was excited to learn that UT Law offers numerous opportunities for students to participate in pro bono projects. Through pro bono projects such as volunteering at Catholic Charities and at the Immigration Clinic's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) workshops, I've been able to continue practicing immigration legal work to maintain and augment my knowledge in the field. Pro bono work also helps me stay grounded despite the rigors of law school. Working with clients who are immensely grateful for the help you provide them in their dire situations makes me appreciate so much in my life. I'm then inspired to continue tackling my studies so that I can earn my J.D. in order to continue giving back as an attorney.
The book discussion during Orientation has had a large impact on my life as a law student because it set the tone for my path in public interest work. I chose to participate in the discussion of the book "Tulia," led by Professors Mary Crouter and Tina Fernandez. "Tulia" is the true story of a small town in the Texas Panhandle that was the seat of a large criminal justice and race controversy that began in 1999. Reading this book and the discussion at orientation made me aware of the potential abuse of the justice system when there is no oversight or insufficient resources for advocacy. America prides itself on the "innocent until proven guilty" presumption, yet societal factors such as level of education, poverty and institutionalized racism or sexism can effectively negate that protection. However, lawyers are in a unique position to be able to help those failed by the legal system in that last phase before they're potentially stripped of their liberties. This knowledge inspires me to take advantage of as many opportunities that UT Law offers for practical advocacy experience as possible.
I have participated in many DACA Clinics, where law student volunteers assist undocumented individuals who came to the U.S. as children apply for protection from deportation under the DACA program. One of my most memorable experiences occurred at a DACA clinic in the Rio Grande Valley that was part of UT Law's Pro Bono in January trip. I was assisting an 18-year-old girl whose only caregiver was the social worker who had brought her to the clinic. At the DACA clinics, we also screen for other forms of immigration relief, especially since DACA does not provide a path to citizenship or even legal permanent residency. As I learned more about this young girl's case, I found out that her mother had been killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, her father was never in her life and her only brother was in prison. This young woman was still in high school when she was thrust into the world on her own, and faced homelessness until her social worker took her in. She was also a victim of abuse, and because of that, learned at the DACA clinic that she might have an avenue to legal permanent residency. For her, that news was life changing. Since there is a checkpoint a few miles north in every direction, and Mexico is to the south, undocumented individuals essentially become trapped in the Rio Grande Valley. The prospect of gaining legal status as a result of her struggles gave this young girl hope that she would be free to pursue her goal of obtaining higher education and a life beyond the Valley.
