Green shouldn't be the only color a fleet is considering when making a move toward "going green."
"The most important colors in business are still red and black," said Joe Fiorelli, fleet and safety director for Gulfeagle Supply, during a session for the National Truck Equipment Association's recent Green Truck Summit entitled, "Compounding the Green: Incremental Measures for Going Green and Sustainable."

Online House Hunter: Top Ten bookmarks
WHETHER you are starting out on the property ladder and looking for your first home or looking to move house then you'll find the internet can be a big help.
I've featured many 'bookmarked' websites over the last few weeks but here's a quick run-down of the top ten that should be on any house-hunter's Favourites.
A GOOD property search engine is a must and you'll forgive me if I recommend our own! (others property search engines are available…). Whichever search engine you use make sure you get the most out of it. Check out any email alerts that can be sent as soon as a property becomes available so you'll be first in the queue for that dream home for sale in Dunstable or a des res for sale in Dulwich.
Brush up on the basic information about the whole process of buying or moving house by visiting such sites as Directgov. It will give you background on the law, the finances and the pitfalls of either buying or renting property.
MOST people will favour buying or selling their home through an estate agent and while we joke about their popularity (just one place above journalists on the PR league table) the majority of transactions go through without a hitch. Check out the National Association of Estate Agents which is currently introducing a licence for agents in the UK.
The Property Ombudsman website includes a Code of Practice for estate agents (and landlords) abut the Ombudsman emphasises he is not a regulator or consumer guardian. In his words: "My powers allow me to make awards of compensation for financial loss and/or ggravation, distress and inconvenience, where I feel that is appropriate. The service is free of charge for the public."
THE mortgage lenders may not love new homes quite as much as first-time buyers but perhaps the newly-announced FirstBuy scheme will help. The government-led scheme will offer a 20 per cent loan to top up first-time buyers' own deposit of 5 per cent enabling them to take out a 75 per cent mortgage. Details are yet to be ironed out but ask your new-home builder or estate agent to keep you informed. It should start to roll out in September.
- See also National House Building Council
YOU'VE decided where you want to live – how do you find out about the neighbourhood. There's a lot to think about including how you'll get to work and where the local schools are. Then there's the doctors, dentist etc to sort out. These links will point you in the right direction:
IF you're moving house you'll need to know how much your current house is worth and how to go about selling it. Commercial sites such as houseprices.co.uk will tell you at a glance the potential value of your home. The Land Registry is the official source for data on how much houses sold for in your neighbourhood but is not as user-friendly as some of the commercial ones. And checkout Theadvisory for the some good common sense practical advice on selling your home.
HOW green is your home? It's an important consideration to many house-movers. Energy performance certificates are supposed to help house-buyers make a green decision but most admit to being confused by the information. Find out from directgov what these certificates mean and how to interpret them. And learn from ActonCo2 what you can do to improve your green rating in your old home or your new one.
THERE are a number of mortgage calculators online to help you work out what mortgage you will need, what schemes are available and what the repayments will be like. Directgov has a good general introduction.
And finally, you'll find my house-hunting bookmarks publicly available on Google.Tagged in: buying house, estate agents, mortgages, moving house, Online House Hunter, real estate, selling house

Man in court for love triangle murderComment on this story
Butterworth - A man accused of murdering his girlfriend and her lover appeared in the Butterworth Magistrate's Court on Thursday, said Eastern Cape police.
Captain Jackson Manatha said the case against Mteteleli Ndzuzo was postponed to February 19. He would remain in custody.
"He was not asked to plead," said Manatha.
Ndzuzo allegedly killed the two at Boyleni Location on Sunday.
The 35-year-old man apparently went to his girlfriend's home after being told she was sleeping with another man, said Manatha.
"Upon his arrival, he forced the door to the house open and began to assault the two with a hard object," he said.
His 25-year-old girlfriend and a man, 29, were declared dead on the scene. Residents caught Ndzuzo and alerted the police. - Sapa

The nation's unemployment rate plummeted dramatically to 8.6 percent last month, after hovering around 9 percent for much of the year, as the pace of job growth quickened, the Labor Department reported Friday morning.
Private businesses created another 140,000 jobs in November. And although that was offset a little by job losses of 20,000 in the U.S. Postal Service and other government agencies, it follows a revised gain of 210,000 jobs in October that was significantly larger than the 158,000 originally reported.
Economist Jerry Jasinowski called the lowest unemployment rate since March 2009 "icing on the cake after a week of good news" on the economy, which included signs of healthy growth in manufacturing, strong early holiday sales and a big rally in the stock market.
"None of this indicates we are out of the woods by any means," he said. "But in the overall scheme of things, there's nothing like a good solid dose of economic growth to reduce deficits, create jobs and foster holiday cheer."
The stock market welcomed the encouraging employment news at the start of trading Friday morning, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average shooting up 81 points to 12,101.
"The U.S. economy continues to show improvement, even as the picture for the rest of the world deteriorates," said Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist with IHS Global Insight. He noted that holiday sales, which started out strong over the Thanksgiving weekend, should give a "respectable" lift to the economy as new jobs help to lift the gloomy mood among consumers.
With the Christmas selling season off to a strong early start, job growth last month was particularly strong among retailers, who added 50,000 positions to their sales staff, with the much of the gains in clothing and electronics businesses that were flooded with shoppers in recent days, the department reported.
Employment growth in health care, food services, and professional and business services remained healthy. Manufacturing added a scant 2,000 jobs while the building industry — the hardest hit sector in the economy — lost another 12,000 positions.
The dramatic drop in the unemployment rate was concentrated among whites and adult men. It was due not only to people finding more jobs, but to about 300,000 discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force.
While jobs were more plentiful last month, raises were hard to find. Average hourly wages actually declined by 2 cents to $23.18, and were up by only 1.8 percent over the last year.
"The labor market continues to heal, but the pace of improvement is still rather slow," said John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo Securities, noting the disappointing absence of income growth.
Tom Porcelli, economist at RBC Capital Markets, said the decline in wages showed that beneath the surface, the job market remains sluggish and "unambiguously subpar."
Incomes are "now "deep into negative territory," especially when taking into account the rise in inflation, he said. "This is the household's ammunition, and it remains weak. To supplement it, they are using savings to support consumption," which is not a "sound" way to fuel economic growth, he said.

AURORA, TEXAS (Jefferson County). Aurora was located near the mouth of Taylor Bayou on Sabine Lake, at the site of present-day Port Arthur. The town was conceived as early as 1837, and by 1840 promoters led by Almanzon Huston were advertising town lots. Although some lots were sold, Houston's project failed to materialize. The area came to be known as Sparks after John Sparks and his family moved to the shores of Sabine Lake near the Aurora townsite. The Eastern Texas Railroad, completed between Sabine Pass and Beaumont just before the outbreak of the Civil War, passed about four miles west of Sparks. The railroad passing track at this point was named Aurora after the Houston project. The rails were removed during the Civil War. A few scattered settlers remained until 1886, when a destructive hurricane led residents to dismantle their homes and move to Beaumont. By 1895 Aurora was a ghost town. The abandoned community, however, soon became the site of Arthur E. Stilwell's new city, Port Arthur.

Incoming University of Denver freshman defenseman David Carle, brother of former DU star Matt Carle of the San Jose Sharks, withdrew from the NHL draft after being told by doctors Thursday that he has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the heart that has been linked to sudden death for athletes.
"I'm really quite fortunate they were able to find it before it was too late," Carle said. "It's tough, but I'm just trying to focus on the positives."
Carle was expected to be taken in the first two rounds of the draft. Matt Carle, who in 2006 became DU's first Hobey Baker Award winner, was selected in the second round (47th) of the 2003 draft by San Jose.
Matt Carle said in January that his brother is "better than me."
David Carle, 18, still plans to attend DU. Pioneers coach George Gwoz- decky told Carle his scholarship would be honored.
"I'm grateful to NHL doctors for discovering it and very happy with the University of Denver for honoring my scholarship and still treating me like part of the family," Carle said.
Gwozdecky won't get the chance to coach Carle, but knows life isn't all about hockey, either.
"We are so grateful for David's long- term health," Gwozdecky said. "(Not being able to play hockey is) very disappointing for David, his family and, obviously, our program. But we are still very grateful to have him at the University of Denver."
Carle's disease is different from the one that forced former Avalanche forward Steve Konowalchuk to retire in 2006.
"The first thing is, he's going to have to worry about quality of life. 'What can I do with my life? And am I an immediate threat?' " Konowalchuk said of Carle. "If he keeps his heart rate under control, phase two is he's going to be missing out on his whole career.
"I was upset and felt like I got shafted out of a couple years of playing, but fortunate that I did get to play as long as I did. He could live his whole life like, 'What if?' That's unfortunate. A kid like that, the NHL is his dream."
Agent Kurt Overhardt, whose clients include Matt Carle, is David Carle's adviser and informed all NHL teams Friday that David's career was over.
On Saturday, however, the Tampa Bay Lightning selected Carle in the seventh round (203rd overall).
Incoming Lightning owner Oren Koules pushed for the team to select Carle.
"The kid worked his whole life to be drafted in the NHL, and I didn't see a reason he shouldn't be," Koules said on the club's website.
Carle has spent the past two days studying about his disease, and he has learned a solid diet and only light exercise will give him a chance for a normal life.
He is motivated to help other athletes who don't know they have it.
"The awareness of the disease is not out there," he said. "I would like to stress to others that I didn't show any symptoms, and I encourage all athletes to get tested because usually your first symptom is cardiac arrest, so it's your last symptom."
Carle said his heart condition was first detected at the recent NHL combine and confirmed Thursday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
"Once I got my results, I got back and read about the disease online," he said. "I was real conscious and paid attention to it, and I did notice some chest pains. But nothing in my workouts, on or off the ice, did I ever feel like something was wrong."

Athlete fatalities
Athletes who died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy while playing their sport:
Greg Menton: The 20-year-old swimmer at the University of Massachusetts collapsed and died about 10 minutes after swimming the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyles in a meet Jan. 11, 1996.
Reggie Lewis: Boston Celtics star player died July 27, 1993, at age 27 after shooting baskets during an informal practice.
Eric "Hank" Gathers: Basketball player for Loyola Marymount died March 4, 1990, during a West Coast Conference Tournament game against the University of Portland, about three months after he first collapsed while playing basketball. He was 23.
Sergei Grinkov: The Olympic and world figure skating champion died Nov. 20, 1995, at age 28 after collapsing in Lake Placid, N.Y., while practicing pairs skating with wife Ekaterina Gordeeva.

Copenhagen Climate Pledges May Not Be EnoughWritten by Amy Givler
The January 31 deadline for nations to submit their emissions reduction pledges has passed, but the UN feels that it may not be enough to keep the Earth's temperature from rising beyond the approximately two-degree target temperature established during the Copenhagen climate conference held in December. Fifty-five nations, including China, the US, India, as well as the European Union, have submitted their goals in reducing emissions. Together they produce about 78 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and have varying commitment letters pledging to reduce emissions anywhere from 17 percent to 45 percent by 2020. Developed countries also made commitments supporting financial assistance to less developed countries to adapt to climate change. Despite the efforts being made by nations worldwide, some analysts believe that efforts have fallen short as a result of emissions not being cut enough and the lack of a legally binding treaty. Regardless of both the positive and negative reviews, UN climate chief Yvo de Boer believes that the pledges sent in by the January 31 deadline should at least help to reinvigorate negotiations toward a stronger agreement on climate and hopes that a more binding pact can be completed at the UN climate conference in Mexico City at the end of this year.

Federal Gov't Aims for Greenhouse Gas ReductionsWritten by Amy Givler
Following on the heels of Obama's State of the Union Address, the White House announced that the federal government is taking steps to cut its energy use and reduce its heat-trapping, greenhouse gas emissions by 28 percent by 2020. The government, the largest user of energy resources in the country, would save $8 to $11 billion in energy costs over the course of the next decade. Federal agencies are beginning to invest in clean energy technologies, such as tapping landfills for renewable energy, putting energy management systems in government buildings, and replacing older vehicles with more fuel efficient hybrid models. "As the largest energy consumer in the United States, we have a responsibility to American citizens to reduce our energy use and become more efficient," President Obama said in a statement encouraging job creation and pollution reduction technologies.

Obama on Clean Energy and JobsWritten by Paul Burman
Last night's State of the Union address by President Obama covered a lot of ground over the course of the 71 minute speech. One of the main pillars that helped to get President Obama elected in the first place, a commitment to clean energy and reducing US greenhouse gas emissions, was a focal point for the President in the address. The President stressed the need for Congress to take action on climate change to reduce emissions and also remain competitive in the international marketplace and help create jobs here in the US.
[T]o create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives... And yes, it means passing a comprehensive energy and climate bill with incentives that will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy in America.President Obama tried to reframe the climate legislation awaiting action in Congress in terms of clean energy and jobs, particularly as some observers have deemed the legislation stalled for the time being. It's true that investing in clean energy will create new jobs in construction, manufacturing, installation, as well as research and development. With our nation still in economic recovery, climate legislation can help re-invigorate and re-energize our economy and should be a focus for Congress and the White House.

Lessons from HaitiWritten by Paul Burman
Natural disasters impact those that are the least prepared the hardest. The earthquake that recently struck Haiti may end up killing 200,000 people - an astonishing and devastating figure. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. The country has had high rates of TB, AIDS, malaria and other preventable diseases. The country's systems are less than adequate on a good day - meaning that access to essential government services like emergency services and building code enforcement is lacking. These and many other factors left Haiti especially vulnerable to a natural disaster. The poorly constructed buildings crumbled easily. Without extensive foreign aid, Haiti would have tremendous difficulty trying to rebuild. There is a lesson for the potential impacts of global warming, in the fact that global warming is expected to have many negative effects such as more heat waves, rising sea levels and other potential natural disasters that should raise concern for the world. While some countries are more prepared to handle these impacts than others, these effects most adversely affect developing countries and those who may be in poverty. You can learn more about the linkage between global warming and poverty or economic development by visiting this site, Live Climate, which is a nonprofit program of Carbonfund.org. The world needs to respond as quickly as possible to the needs of Haiti, while ensuring that it learns lessons from the disaster and be more prepared for the future, including the expected effects of global warming.

Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
I'm sure many of you will remember NCC-1701's Apex Class thread (see here). Well, I was very impressed with the look of his designs, especially this sketch:
And with NCC-1701's permission I've set out to develop this idea a little further and build up a 3D model.
In NCC-1701's thread the design evolved into a more of Daedelus era ship, whereas here I want to keep more of the TOS look about the design.
I'm still in the early stages of building the 3D model. My main departure from NCC-1701's sketch is the integration of the shuttlebay "module" with the upper section of the engineering hull. Although, I do like the modular look in the sketch, I couldn't quite reconcile the off-set shuttlebay with my chosen number of deck for the ship (9 main decks).
Here's how it looks so far:
More coming soon...
Comments and suggestions are welcome. ;)
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
Me likey!
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
:eek: Honestly, I'm speechless! It simply looks fantastic! I love how you modeled the bridge more in the style of a Constitution class ship. Also, the new secondary hull with the shuttlebay ... astonishing! It really comes all together. You even fixed something I never could get quite right in my sketches: The link between the sphere and the secondary hull. (Without 3D technology it's quite hard to imagine how a spherical object and a cigar-shaped thing come together.)
Anyway, I'm looking forward to how this will develop. Good job, Starscape! :bolian:
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
Great 3D modeling. Great job!
It's fascinating to see the Apex drawings seemingly "coming to life". I've said it before: the Daedalus concept in the TOS/pre-TOS galaxy has enormous aesthetic and dramatic potential. I would love to see a post-ENT/pre-TOS/TOS-era story featuring a ship like this.
Needs more of a "Cage"/"Where No Man Has Gone Before"-type bridge.
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
Given the size, could this ship be, or could it be related to, Capt. Merrik's SS Beagle?
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
Thanks very much guys! Glad you like it. :D
Here's another small addition, the lower sensor dome:
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
There is another possibility, if you're so inclined:
The dome-like structure on which the bridge sits could be stretched upward, so that the aft hull would blend into this sub-dome, and then the bridge would sit on top of that.
Here's another idea, unrelated: the NCC banner should run across the front slope of the sub-dome. The ship name would span the flat bench around the base of the bridge. That's just an aesthetic suggestion.

Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
@ Starscape: Personally I favor the "TOS bridge design" over the Cage one, but that's just me. Still love to look at your images. :)
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
I just wanted to chime in and say that Starscape's work on the Apex concept is outstanding to date. It shows that there really was something unique and interesting, and yet familial with the TOS Enterprise, to Jefferies' original concept drawings over 40 years ago.
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
Thanks Wingsley. I haven't forgotten about this, I'm just taking a little time to rethink my approach.
When I started I didn't really have a clear idea of how certain aspects of the design would work out (specifically the size of the bridge) and it was starting to bug me. I tried to sort the size problems out by scaling the model comparing it to my Enterprise model. It didn't help much so I rebuilt the model using top three decks of the Enterprise as a guide.
Here's a comparison of the old and new apex models to scale next to the Enterprise:
I'm still not happy with the new model, though. The engineering section needs to be sleeker and, perhaps, follow the lines of the Enterprise engineering hull more closely.
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
I like them both, and I can see them each as starship classes.
I could see your larger Apex as the "real" Scout/Destroyer class Federation starships; like FJ's Saladin/Hermes. Maybe this one could even use the same nacelles as the Enterprise, or a somewhat scaled down version of the same technology.
Your smaller Apex could be much smaller class of vessel, like the SS Beagle or perhaps the remastered Aurora.
There is a way to make the aft section flow in the spheroid nose: As I suggested in my earlier (May 22) posting, the dome-like structure on the topside of the sphere, on which the bridge sits, could be stretched upward, so that the aft hull would blend into this sub-dome, and then the bridge would sit on top of that. This would blend the top of the sphere with the aft hull.
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
I made this quick attempt a few days ago following Wingsley's suggestion:
(It was easier to re-build the upper section from scratch and since this was just a test of the forward section I didn't add the hanger door details at the rear.)
Hmmm, I think I prefer the look of the thinner "dome" above the sphere section from the previous models, so I'm going to stick with that.
Also, I've started the model again, this time taking more care with the shapes and proportions. I've no images yet, but I should have something soon. :)
Re: Developing NCC-1701's Apex Class [3D]
Here are some images of my latest model of the Apex. That is, if anyone is interested - I hope so, because this one is much better. ;)
With this version of the model, I've taken a lot more visual cues from the Constitution class and settled on 14-15 decks for the ship, this means the bridge, lower sensor dome and hanger bay are the same size as those on the Enterprise.

About Me
To show off Geelong to the world of travellers
Some things you will always hear me suggesting or doing are: Catching up with family and mates, Going to a restaurant, pub, party, cafe, movie, on a holiday, comedy night or music festival.
I work as a Park Ranger, so the environment is a major passion of mine!
Food, did anyone mention food? Food, food, food, I LOVE food :-) It possibly takes up 70% of my day thinking of what I will have for lunch and dinner haha. On top of this eating comes a lot of exercise, so not to worry, I don't get around on a forklift!
And where would I be without travelling? - It's a passion/addiction which I can't control. So far I've been to Brazil, USA, Cook Islands, Mauritius, Reunion Island and Bali. Hopefully head back to South America later this year. There is something enthralling about getting out of your comfort zone.
I like to experience all things, challenge myself, my brain, my thoughts, opinions and also be alone from time to time.
With so much to do, boredom isn't necessary.
I work to live, not live to work. While I hate being at work I love thinking about my travels and where I next want to go. i have only ever traveled solo, which to me is ideal.....at the moment.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The poverty in almost every country I have been to, in particular Brazil and Mauritius, BUT in seeing this I also witnessed smiles on the people's faces who were in this dire situation. These people get my respect 100%
Countries I've Visited

traveling makeup services, including airbrush foundation

I am 5 star rated on Yelp! I was in the top 10 of makeup artists in Philadelphia on the Philly Hotlist for 2013. I have worked with Philadelphia Weddings Magazine and NY Times featured brides. I give every bride the same great service whether her wedding is 500 people large at the Lowes Hotel or if it is a simple park wedding. They are all important and I have loved working with each and every one of them. Offbeat Brides to Conservative brides- I take everyone's taste and personal style very seriously. I am capable and love doing the makeup for any type of event. All wedding are welcome!
Almost all makeup artists offer on site services just as I do. The things that set me apart are:
I am an individual artist. I do not manage any other artists except for 1 very wonderful assistant occasionally when I feel the group is too large with the time restriction. I will be the one doing the brides makeup on the day of the wedding and will be present during the entire service. Other large collectives that manage groups of artists cannot guarantee that the artist that did the bridal trial will be doing the makeup on the wedding day. I can. My main concern is makeup artistry and service - not talent management.
I give full and comprehensive trials considering your tastes and comfort levels while also giving the best advice I can to give you the best results for you and your photographic read. I am capable of handling large groups and happy to do small ones too! I provide services to all ethnicities and ages. In fact, mothers of the bride and groom are a specialty! I am also very knowledgeable about modern and period/ historical makeup looks and can give each bride the most custom look reflecting her own personal style. Geek and themed weddings are welcome! Prices are determined by each bride and party's individual needs. Airbrush foundation is available!
I also offer makeup lessons for brides planning destination weddings and I can't be there. These brides need to know how to make themselves look great and hold up for the whole day. I give them the tips and tricks so they can achieve it on their own. I also offer bachelorette makeup lesson/cleanout parties. It's a fun way to start the evening and everyone gets to learn! Consider me for group bachelorette makeup party lessons!
Please contact me at 6107661585 or go to my website to the Quote section for a quote, then we can schedule your trial. You can see examples of my work, a resume' and more testimonials at:

Lifestyle products: (From left ) Azizan, Mohd Sharkar, MPTF and GCTC 2014 chairman Datuk Mohd Khalid Harun and KPJ Healthcare Berhad group marketing and corporate communications senior general manager Rafeah Ariffin at the press conference announcing the Malaysian Premium Travel Fair (MPTF) 2014 and Global Cruise Tourism Conference (GCTC) 2014.
TWO premier and niche high-end tourism events will be held this month at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
The events, Malaysian Premium Travel Fair (MPTF) 2014 and Global Cruise Tourism Conference (GCTC) 2014, are scheduled to take place from Aug 7 to 10.
MPTF and GCTC 2014 chairman Datuk Mohd Khalid Harun said the industry was heading towards luxury tourism and there was a demand for it.
"Malaysia is ready to promote high-end tourism to the world. Malaysians are becoming more affluent and with that, they want a certain lifestyle and luxury benefits.
"They are willing to pay for premium and niche products. So, both the events are ideal opportunities for the travel and tourism industry to reach out to over 30,000 high-end consumers," he said during a press conference to announce both the events at a hotel recently.
Tourism Malaysia deputy director-general Datuk Azizan Noordin said they would be taking up 20 booths at the MPTF 2014.
"We will focus on five areas during the fair— hotels, spa, helicopter tour, Menara Kuala Lumpur and luxury vehicles," he said.
He said for hotels, they would be bringing in The Settlement Melaka to promote boutique hotels.
Azizan added that the helicopter tours here were popular among Arab tourists and was one of the cheapest in the world.
As for the cruise industry, he said it was expanding with 512,400 cruise passengers coming into Malaysia last year.
"The conference will help put Malaysia on the map in the cruise tourism sector," he said.
Pahang Tourism and Culture Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin said they had been given an opportunity to be chosen as the Favourite Domestic Destination Partner for the fair this year.
He said Pahang, which was famous for its eco-tourism, had 10.5 million tourists and RM7.5bil in tourism receipts last year.
Mohd Sharkar added that the state had 10 popular tourist destinations, including Taman Negara, Tioman, Genting Highlands and Cherating.
"I hope with our participation in the fair, we can achieve our target of 12 million tourists
and RM8.5bil in tourism receipts in Pahang in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2014," he said.
MPTF 2014 will be held from Aug 8 to 10 at Hall 5 and 6 of the convention centre, from 11am to 8pm.
There will be a total of 220 booths and 55 exhibitors, including operators and providers of helicopter tour services, theme parks, premium spas and wellness facilities, cruise liners and yacht clubs, high-end transportation vehicles as well as state tourism organisations.
Meanwhile, GCTC 2014 will be held on Aug 7 and 8 at the Plenary Hall at the convention centre from 9am to 6pm.

Scientology Grand Opening: Walls! Weirdos! Whacking a Weekly Reporter!
Categories: Gimme That OC Religion
|His sign is better then my cropped photo!
As the Church of Scientology was stalling the opening of their new Ideal Org in downtown Santa Ana, they told me the media would be alerted about the big debut. I never got the memo.
But if I did, it likely would've said, "You're not welcomed."
That was the message I got Saturday when I walked three feet into the ceremonies in front of the former Santa Ana Performing Arts and Event Center at 505 N. Sycamore St.
Well, after a nice young lady asked for my name and I responded with, "why do you need to know?"
I told her my name. She stepped away for a moment, returned, and told me it was a private event. Indeed, a private event for the busloads of thetans that had to be shipped into the bowels of a boiling Santa Ana so as to cover for the fact that no one else gave a damn about the opening of what L. Ron Hubbard would refer to as an "island of sanity," otherwise known as an Ideal Org.
|All I ever learned about Scientology...
I was then told that a representative would speak with me, which turned out to be their thinly disguised effort to finally put a photo of me on their files. While I spoke with a lady who didn't want her name in the story, a portly fuck-of-a-man decided to stand several feet away and snap photos of the most handsome reporter in Santa Ana. I smoked my cigarette and stared directly into the lens.
The lady -- let's call her "Miss Anonymous" for ironic shits and giggles -- told me the event was for "parishioners" only, and the new Orange County location was necessary, as the so-called church continues (cough) to grow (cough).
No longer in the mood for sweet seques, I asked about the alleged physical and financial abuses in the organization, including those from former executive Debbie Cook, who told the world that the Church of Scientology is pretty much a fundraising machine. Cook blew the whistle on Scientology after she was confined in "The Hole" at its international base in Hemet.
The church sued Cook, saying she violated a signed non-disclosure agreement when she left the group. The church settled with Cook and her husband in April. Neither party got money in the settlement, and Cook and her husband agreed to no longer talk crap about the church.
Miss Anonymous called the allegations "bologna" and said Scientology apostates are looking for money and "should move on with their lives." She's been a Scientologist since 1977.
So, not being allowed to mingle with the Scientologists and give a fair-and-balanced report of the day, I moseyed around until I found a group of protesters who were more than willing to talk about their former lives inside Scientology. Along the way, several Santa Ana Police Department officers reminded me that I wasn't allowed inside the event, nor in the surrounding buildings.
The protesters taught me a lot about the church. What I learned from their picket signs:

'Steggy' marks 10th anniversary at Ligonier library
A prehistoric member of the Ligonier community is celebrating its 10th year in the Valley.
Ligonier Valley Library will play host to a birthday party at 10 a.m. Saturday to celebrate the town's friendly fiberglass dinosaur, Pixelsaurus, and its decade of residency at the library.
"The kids absolutely love this dinosaur," said children's librarian Linda Norris. "There's no other library in the world that has a dinosaur like this."
In 2003, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History presented "Dino Mite Days," a fundraising program during which 100 fiberglass dinosaurs, donning designs by numerous artists, were displayed throughout the region and auctioned off to raise money for the museum.
"Floor to Fauna," a dinosaur painted by artist and Ligonier native Quentin Curry, was displayed in Ligonier's Mellon Park, for six days. The decorative creature fell victim to vandals, losing its head and part of its tail during the unfortunate incident.
"There was no reason for it," said Norris. "It was just a shame."
Resident Marge Hermann felt compelled to help save the dinosaur somehow, as her son, Ted, was working for the museum at the time and was involved with "Dino Mite Days."
The "Save the Dinosaur" committee chose to sell $3 chocolate dinosaurs from Ligonier Sweet Shop at various local merchants. Their cause grew popular in the town, attracting more and more residents and business owners to the mission. According to Hermann, $9,000 worth of the novelty treats were sold to fund the creation of another dinosaur.
"It was a great experience and a real tribute to all the merchants in Ligonier and the people that helped," said Hermann.
Research Castings, who supplied the first dinosaur, donated a second fiberglass dinosaur for Curry to design.
The "Friends of the Ligonier Valley Library" group later purchased "Pixelsaurus" at auction for $4,200, so it could have a permanent, safe home in the Ligonier Valley Library, Norris said.
Carnegie Museum contributed $1,500 to the price of the dinosaur from excess monies generated by the "Save the Dinosaur" campaign.
Curry appreciated the opportunity to paint another dinosaur, making his second design more "pixelated and digital" than the first. He used colors to make the design symbolic – red and black for Ligonier Valley School District, red for Heinz Ketchup and yellow for Pittsburgh's sports teams. The dinosaur was dubbed "Pixelsaurus."
Since its arrival at the library, "Pixelsaurus," which library staff lovingly refer to as "Steggy," has become a fixture in the library, Norris said.
"He very patiently accepts getting decorated for different holidays," she said. "He's coated with spider webs and spiders for Halloween, a Santa hat for Christmas and an Abraham Lincoln beard and top hat for President's Day."
The dinosaur was even the center of an April Fool's Day prank several years ago, Norris said.
"He was kidnapped, and the ransom was six full six Snickers bars and one Kit-Kat," she said. "Literally half of the ransom was paid. The Snickers and Kit-Kats were cut in half, and the other half would be paid when Steggy was returned. He was discovered back in the picture books hiding under a sheet."
Curry said he loves that "Pixelsaurus" resides at the library.
"The library was always a safe place for me as a kid," he said. "I'd go there a lot after school. I'm very happy that Pixelsaurus is able to interact with so many people on a daily basis."
At the birthday party, cake will be served at 10 a.m. Children in kindergarten through second grade may sign up for a program presented by the Carnegie Science Center at 10:30 a.m., during which children will create a cast of a fossil, play a dinosaur survival game and listen to a Magic School Bus story about dinosaurs.
Children in grades three through five may participate in another Carnegie Science Center program beginning at 1:30 p.m., where they will learn about excavating fossils, fossil casts and dinosaur history.
Both programs are free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. Seating is limited.
For more information, contact the library at 724-238-6451.

But whether that's good or bad isn't yet clear
by lk1965 on Fri Mar 23, 2012 02:17 AM
Just heard on FOX news about this PEGPH20 enzyme that studies have shown to improve delivery of chemo drugs into pancreatic tumors by expanding blood vessels. I Googled it, and the information out there looks very promising. It is currently in phases 1B & 2 trials right now in Seattle, WA and New Hyde Park, NY. Was wondering if by any chance, anyone here on this forum is (or has a loved one) currently particpating in this trial?

Dr Chris Cerceo is TERRIFIC! Before I started seeing Dr. Cerceo, I was terrified to go to the dentist. Dr. Cerceo is an extraordinarily gentle and considerate dentist and, he does great work. He also does twilight sedation if you are really really nervous; but, I've never needed it because he is so gentle.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse

How the Governor Came to the Port of Xagua
and Brought a Pilot with Him
At this time the Governor arrived with a brigantine he had purchased in Trinidad, bringing along a pilot named Miruelo. 1 He had taken him because he said that he knew, and had been at, the River of Palms and that he was a very good pilot of the entire north coast. 2 He also left on the coast of Havana another ship which he had purchased, along with Álvaro de la Cerda as captain, with forty men and twelve horses. Two days after the Governor's arrival we set sail with four hundred men and eighty horses in four ships and one brigantine. The pilot whom we had just engaged took the ships through the shoals called Canarreo, 3 so that the following day we ran aground. And there we remained for two weeks, with the keels of the ships often high and dry. Finally a storm from the South flooded the shoals so much that we were able to leave, but not without great danger.
Having departed from there and arrived at Guaniguanico, 4 we almost perished in another storm that overtook us. We encountered another storm at Cape Corrientes, 5 where we spent three days. After this we rounded Cape San Antonio6 and sailed with contrary winds until we were twelve leagues from Havana. The following day, as we were about to enter Havana, a wind from the South blew us away from land. We crossed toward the coast of Florida, sighting land on Tuesday, April 12, 7 and sailed along the coast of Florida. On Maundy Thursday we came upon a bay along that coast, 8 at the head of which we saw several Indian houses and habitations.

Hi! I'm Mallory Whitfield!
I am a… creative entrepreneur. artist. crafter. maker. craft show veteran. speaker. teacher. coach. drag performance artist. writer. blogger. friendtor. sister. daughter. aunt. dreamer. do-er.
I've been making things and dreaming big for as long as I can remember. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs and learners. Growing up, my parents and grand-parents owned their own businesses. I remember the stories of how my grand-father taught himself trigonometry and calculus from books, and the value of self-education has always stuck with me.
I was always an over-achiever, getting top marks in school and reading everything I could get my hands on in my spare time. I was Internet-addicted by my tween years, at a time when the Internet was just getting started. I dropped out of high school halfway through my junior year, started college early, and graduated Loyola University New Orleans with a Bachelor of Arts in history in 2004. (I was three production credits short of a theatre minor.) And yet, the most valuable knowledge I have didn't come from traditional means but from books, friendtors (friends + mentors), online courses and the handiest self-education tool of all: Google.
In 2004 I started my first business and dipped my toes in the craft show scene, selling my handmade clothing and accessories. Later, as my dreams turned to owning a retail store dedicated to handmade and eco-friendly goods, I stepped up my game, selling my work alongside that of other talented artists at craft shows, festivals and local events of my own making around New Orleans and beyond. I even wrote an e-book about how to make money at craft shows from what I learned during 10+ years of selling at craft shows.
In 2006, I started blogging here at MissMalaprop.com, though my earliest memories of blogging are on LiveJournal starting in 2001. (Cool fact: my boyfriend and I met on LiveJournal way back in the day!) Through trial and error, and a whole lot of Google searches, I taught myself all I could about blogging, HTML, WordPress, social media marketing, SEO, affiliate marketing, and so much more. One day, I realized I'd taught myself enough to land a job in the field, which is how I wound up working for one of the leading digital marketing agencies in New Orleans, FSC Interactive.
After a lot of soul-searching, I realized that my old dream of owning a retail store was no longer in the cards for me, but I couldn't shake that entrepreneurial spirit.
I love helping small businesses grow and inspiring badass creatives to dream and do bigger.
Cool stuff I've done…
I am one of the founding members of the New Orleans Craft Mafia, a collective of indie craft artists created in 2005. I've organized and promoted group events, including our long-running Last Stop Shop holiday art market.
I've been jamming out with the best bunch of weirdos in the world since 2006 as part of Noisician Coalition, and have had the pleasure and privilege to perform at Voodoo Experience and march with the Krewe of Muses and Chewbaccus during Mardi Gras.
I won 3rd place in Etsy's nationwide Upcycling Contest in 2007 for an outfit I made using FEMA blue tarp.
I created Tech School, a second stage of hands-on, how-to panels at the Rising Tide Conference in 2011 here in New Orleans.
I spoke on a panel during New Orleans Entrepreneur Week in 2012 on "Creating an Online Presence."
In addition to writing for my own sites, I've written for a variety of publications and other websites, including Antigravity Magazine, GoNOLA.com, Creative Income and Little Farm Media.
In 2014, I graduated from the New Orleans Drag Workshop; you can sometimes find me performing around New Orleans as my alter ego, Glamdromeda Strange.
In 2015, I spoke at iRetreat Conference and Rising Tide Conference here in New Orleans about how to grow your following on Instagram.
In 2015, I was part of the team organizing VenturePOP, the first conference for creative entrepreneurs here in New Orleans.

Which team will end its 'curse' first?
Latest results
Every week during the season, USATODAY.com's Steve Gardner and Stephen Borelli
debate a hot topic in the major leagues. Then readers get a chance to voice
their opinions in our "quick question" voting. Stephen is on assignment
for the next two weeks at the U.S. Open, so Nate Davis comes off the bench to
pinch hit vs. Gardner.
Fairly or unfairly, both the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs carry a stigma
as lovable losers, teams cursed to never reward their legions of passionate
fans with World Series titles. Boston hasn't won a title since 1918; the Cubs
drought extends back to 1908.
Boston played the first three-quarters of the 2001 season like a team bound
for the playoffs. The team's current eight-game slide, however, probably relegates
the Red Sox to the sidelines for October.
The Cubs, meanwhile, lead the NL wild-card standings and are very much alive
for the NL Central Division crown. Of course, that's no guarantee that they'll
be playing in a month, either.
Which championship-starved franchise will break through first.
First of all, any team with Pedro Martinez, Manny Ramirez and Nomar Garciaparra
can't be all that bad. Beyond that, this franchise is in need of some
serious help. And it's becoming quite obvious that GM Dan Duquette is
more the problem than the solution. His decision to "reassign"
pitching coach John Cumberland (who only took over the job three weeks
ago when Joe Kerrigan was promoted to manager) may have been the last
straw in the fragile Boston clubhouse. Duquette now has even the mild-mannered
Garciaparra tossing around expletives about why players don't want to
come to Beantown. It doesn't have to be that way, but it will likely continue
until the club is finally sold and Duquette gets the ax In the dugout,
Kerrigan at least deserves a chance. He's well-respected for his work
as pitching coach after retreads such as Hideo Nomo, David Cone and Tim
Wakefield bounced back to post solid numbers this season. Former closer
Derek Lowe is probably on his way out the door, with Ugueth Urbina taking
over full-time next season. That's an upgrade. The offense is in decent
shape if everyone can stay healthy. Garciaparra, Ramirez, and Carl Everett
are about as good as you'll find in the middle of the order, but they've
rarely all been there at the same time in 2001. This season may have turned
out to be a lost cause for Red Sox Nation, but all is not gloom and doom
down the road. An impact free agent Phil Nevin or even Jason Giambi
could help turn things around in a hurry. Besides, the Yankees
are bound to have a down year sometime this century. Right?
It all starts at the top, and for years Cubs fans have reasoned that
that's the problem. The Tribune Company, which owns the team, was content
to simply let Wrigley Field fill up every summer and turn a tidy profit.
Of course those profits weren't always reinvested into the team payroll.
But with strong baseball men like GM Andy MacPhail (the architect of two
Twins title teams) and manager Don Baylor handling the operation, you've
got to think Chicago, which hasn't even won a playoff series in
93 years will break through soon. Just look at the field, whether it's
Wrigley or Sec Taylor Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa (home of the AAA Iowa
Cubs) or Pringles Park in Jackson, Tenn. (AA West Tenn Diamond Jaxx).
The big club boasts a starting staff featuring Kerry Wood and Jon Lieber,
a 1-2 punch most teams east of Arizona and west of the Bronx would love
to have. A bullpen loaded with Kyle Farnsworth, Tom Gordon, Jeff Fassero,
and Courtney Duncan rates with the best anywhere. The lineup ain't 'Murderer's
Row', but a foundation of Sammy Sosa (who should be the NL MVP) and Fred
McGriff isn't bad. But it's the farm system, considered one of the most
talent-laden, that will get the Cubbies to the promised land. OF Corey
Patterson and 1B Hee Choi look like future stars. RHPs Juan Cruz, who
drew comparisons to Pedro after his MLB debut, and Ben Christensen should
make major contributions. And 2001's No. 2 overall draft pick, Mark Prior,
has been called the next Tom Seaver. One or two shrewd MacPhail free-agent
acquisitions (can you say Bonds) and you gotta believe fans on the North
Side will drink champagne soon enough.
