Singapore Sports Hub and Kallang Wave
Sport, sport, sport
What we say:
After six years of construction and at a cost of S$1.3 billion, the Singapore Sports Hub finally opened its doors in June. The 35-hectare complex is filled with athletic venues, public spaces and a sports-themed mall — Kallang Wave.
A 55,000-seat National Stadium is the centrepiece of the Hub and features a retractable roof and an innovative air-cooling system — a relief in Singapore's tropical climate. The roof spans 310 metres at its widest point and is the largest free-spanning dome structure ever built. The engineering marvel can host a plethora of athletic events such as football, rugby and cricket due to its flexible interior layout.
Other sporting venues include the OCBC Arena, which seats up to 3,000 and can host badminton, basketball, netball and volleyball. A 6,000-seat aquatic centre boasts a three-metre deep Olympic pool and a five-metre deep international standard diving pool. To round out the water sports, is a 'Splash-N-Surf' facility with waterslides and a wave pool for surfing and skim boarding.
Those looking to participate rather than spectate are spoiled for choice. The shores of the Kallang river are host to sandy beach volleyball courts and a field hockey pitch. Head to Level Three which houses lawn bowling, hard courts for basketball and netball and a skate park. There's even a giant chess board if you want to show your mental prowess. While most of these activities are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, some require advance booking.
Kallang Wave has a number of stores dedicated to running gear. Amusingly, even the supermarket and fashion stores like H&M are sports-oriented and carry plenty of athletic gear. Once you've worked up an appetite, take a seat at one of the cafes or restaurants, then check out the towering rock wall which has 1,000 square metres of climbing surfaces.
Construction was finished in stages and to date, the Hub has already hosted the World Club 10s rugby and is slated to host the 2015 Southeast Asian Games along with the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) championships for the next five years.
The Singapore Sports Hub was worth the wait. Not only are the facilities outstanding, the setting on the banks of the Kallang river makes it a particularly pleasant place to hang out.

Re: TheGodBen Revisits Deep Space Nine
I think the way Bareil died was a bit crummy, and I wish something more grand had happened that would have had harder-hitting consequences for the storyline. I like the suggestion of Winn offing him, perhaps after he helps her with negtiations? Having her cake and eating it to. Just not in the VOY sense.
I do agree with the writers that it was best to have him leave the show, as they had changed their plans with Bajor. Letting him leave the series in a dignified manner is better than keeping him around solely to be Kira's boyfriend. It's a shallow use of a character that was introduced with grander intentions.
I think the Nog storyline was fine though. I understand that the Ferengi as a culture are very annoying, but itsn't that the point here? Jake isn't being understanding of Nog, and is embarressed. Sisko is on the money, and it's his sort of stance that makes DS9 better than TNG at the end of the day.
Aren't you just a little bit curious?

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Respond to Review of Vegetarian Haven
by maulydaft
Review: I'm not sure why I never reviewed this place. It's not a place a think about going too because I find it a little too classy in atmosphere and price. There was a really amazing "salmon" burger I had a couple times for take out. The Singapore Seitan was good, but would have been half the price at say Green Earth. They use to have cake shakes, I don't think they have them anymore :( They seem to be getting fancier and their prices higher. A few times I've really not liked the server. But if you get BILLY - you will have a lovely meal...

Re: iCal auto-setting random & ridiculously timed reminders in OSX in response to John Maisey
Hello ~
I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping you are still out there John Maisey...? I followed the instructions on your link several times, however my reminders still come up as a message at 4:50pm the day before, plus an email at 4:50pm the day before.
I would like to set it up so that when I create a new event in my calendar, the default reminder time is at 8am that day. Message only, no email.
And the time it is set for is an hour ahead of the time I am creating the new event (i.e., if it is 12 noon when I open a new calendar appt, the default time for this appt sets at 1pm).
Is there a way to do these two things?
I am using iCal Version 5.0.3 / Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 (MacBook Air purchased in December of 2012).
Thank you!

All of the herbs that are put into this very fine penis enhancement product have their own natural power to enhance different aspects of sex and sexual health for men. Therefore, with this said, no more does need to be said. Not only does it have lots of pure herbs and plants in Penisole ingredients, this fine penis supplement also is jam-packed with nutritional benefits, which the body does require to.

The city of Charlotte is considering changing its rules affecting the construction of affordable housing near transit stations. City officials say that the policy that 30 percent of a housing development built with city money be reserved for middle to lower-income residents is a pricey one for developers to comply with.

If you think they should give the solution why don't you just give the solution?

Shopping in the city
I am continuing my little Berlin report. We planned to go shopping and sightseeing at the weekend with Nóri. Unfortunately, shops in Germany are closed on Sundays so we had to do the shopping part on Saturday... We were walking in the streets in the city centre in the morning and we went into interesting design stores when we spotted them. I like talking to the locals because a lot of nice memories come back in connection with Germany. I was 11 years old when I first spent a longer period of time in summer at a German family. It is funny to think back that I could hardly understand anything from what they were trying to tell me, I was so embarrassed that I answered "Ja" to everything... :) We left the shopping centres to the afternoon where we could really enjoy our shopping mania. We found a Primark shop here, too, well known from London... :) If you ever enter this shop, you will surely leave with more than one shopping bag. :) The sales were still on which meant that we bought almost everything for 3 or 5 Euros. It was the earthly heaven itself, I could hardly stop myself from putting the whole store into my basket. By the end of the day, we got totally exhausted and couldn't wait to relax after these two long days... X x FestyДалее »
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin - Studio Kaprol fashion show and backstage
I couldn't wait for the second fashion show on Friday because the marketing person of Studio Kaprol contacted me a few weeks ago to ask us to take some photos of their backstage and post them on our blogs. It was a great experience for me to get a glimpse again behind the scenes of an international fashion week. It had only happened to me once on my first fashion week in New York. Then, the series of pleasures continued as we got private VIP seats to the second row among journalists and celebrities from Berlin. I was extremely happy to be able to watch this special show from such proximity. It started with an art movie and then the models walked on the runway in an unusual way, wandering around and staying on the stage. There were more and more of them up there, then they got together and finally brought the designer forward. I found it a really good idea to present these loose street wear clothes in such a creative way. X x FestyДалее »
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin
I thought that Friday is also worth mentioning and I should make a post about the fashion shows, too. We received standing tickets for Marina Hoermanseder's show so we could see the happenings from upstairs with Nóri. It was ideal to take photos from there because we could see the whole area. I love the feeling when the atmosphere of the fashion week catches me and I watch the creations of different designers with excitement. Marina Hoermanseder, Austrian designer, created an extravagant collection with the patterns of medical aids in the clothes. It was interesting to see a kind of knee machine on a fashion show that I had to wear after my sport accident... xo, FestyДалее »
So many things have happened during a day, it seems that we have been here in Berlin for a week already. We left Budapest in the morning with Nóri Oravecz and we landed in Germany at noon. Our accommodation is in the city centre so we can easily reach everything within 15 minutes. I was really excited because I had never been to Berlin Fashion Week before so I couldn't wait to sit on the shows and learn about German fashion. We were invited to two fashion shows yesterday. At first, we checked the creations of a talented Austrian designer, Marina Hoermanseder. Then, we had the opportunity to look at the backstage of Studio Kaprol, it was the first time I had received a VIP ticket on an international fashion event. We could watch the fashion show from the second row which is a fantastic feeling for a fashion blogger. :) We got an invitation to the closing party at night where we got to know German and Austrian journalists and designers. It was adventurous to get to the party... It took almost an hour to find one of the old factory sites of East-Berlin. The place had a special atmosphere with a ruined brick building, wall paintings and railways tracks. Finally, we found a huge building like a hangar where masked hostesses were welcoming the guests at the end of the red carpet. We entered a large room where the closing ceremony took place. We talked to a lot of fashion professionals, everybody was friendly and kind to us. One of the great advantages of Berlin is that the underground operates all night so you can get home very easily even after midnight. X x FestyДалее »
During our last day at Berlin we had a little sightseeing around the city with a hopp on hopp of bus. It was great to see all the statues and monuments all over the city, and the squares and of course Potsdamers Platz again. After that tour we shortly started to recognize the places what we have been visited so far, and the distance between them. For us our tour was ended at West-Berlin, where we checked the place where we had party on Friday night, we made some photos in front of the graffiti walls, and finally found our best restaurant experience ever! Sunday Brunch for 1O euros, in a restaurant called Via Nova, with an extremely nice stuff and food of course! If you have time to go there, visit them, you're gonna love it! Berlin, we love you, and it was so good to spend 3 days there! :) See you soon again. NoraДалее »
E4 Berlin
After our exciting Friday on Saturday we had a little shopping tour around Berlin. We've started our tour in the street, where you can find Boconcept, and after we visited the high category brands as well, where we met with the personal shopper of Sarah Connor. The last station of our shopping tour was Primark, where we bought a bunch of new stuff for us, where we were very excited about the sale. You need to try Primark, than it's a good thing to visit Potsdamer Platz and drink a coffee in Carac Gourmet, you won't forget that view! If you still want to go and have a big walk, just visit the Sony center, where you can have dinner, and you can see on the screen all of the famous celebrities, who has been visited the city so far. Just check Berlin. It can't be a mistake.Далее »

We've just got the invitation some weeks ago for BFW, we were so excited! I have really good memories from my latest visit, and I was hoping that someday I can come back. And now I brought with me my fashion blogger friend, Festy as well. Yesterday we saw 2 fashion shows, the last one was my favourite one! It was so energetic and cool, nobody could take his eyes off from them! :) During the night we had a great party, because we were invited to the closing party of the BFW. We got know one of the journalists of Bild.de magazine, he was very nice, we had a short chat with him. Today we were shopping for hours, tomorrow I am going to tell more about that - what we visited ,where we had the shopping tour, etc. :) Tomorrow we are going to have our Big Bus Tour, so I can come back with great photos about the city!

Article by Susan Larson
When I attended an organizational meeting for the newly formed ArtReach Foundation in Duluth in 1999, founder, Susan Anderson blissfully explained her proposed mission of taking art supplies to war torn Bosnia to help children emotionally heal from the trauma of war. To me, it all seemed overwhelming. To Anderson it was just a matter of following Joseph Campbell's words: "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls."

Comments about Plantronics® Audio 995 Wireless Headset:
He uses Google Voice to dial out on sales calls. He says he can barely hear anyone else in the office with the noise-cancelling feature these headsets have. So that's cool with me! 3 people, only 2 phone lines in the office, it gets a little crowded with the phones going. Pretty soon we'll go back to a VOIP system, and Ill definitely use more headsets like these.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

THESE Plantronics .Audio 995 Digital Wireless Stereo Headset by Plantronics are a great set of headphones. The only thing I would change is I

Taiwan Bonds Rise Before Government's Second-Quarter Sale Plan
Taiwan bonds rose and the currency was little changed before the government releases its debt sale plan for the second quarter today.
The island's dollar strengthened earlier after central bank Governor Perng Fai-nan announced yesterday he would leave the discount rate on 10-day loans at 1.875 percent and focus on inflation rather than boosting growth in 2012. A government report today showed factory output increased 8.4 percent last month from a year earlier, after contracting more than 16 percent in January.
"What's happening now is growth isn't as bad as before and the focus now is inflation," said Wee-Khoon Chong, a strategist at Societe Generale SA in Hong Kong. "We might expect a stronger currency as a result."
The yield on the government's 1.25 percent bonds due March 2022 fell one basis point today and during the five-day period to 1.283 percent, according to Gretai Securities Market. It reached 1.30 percent on March 15, the highest level for a benchmark 10-year note since Jan. 6, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Taiwan's dollar traded at NT$29.585 against its U.S. counterpart, compared with NT$29.585 yesterday, according to Taipei Forex Inc. It weakened 0.08 percent this week. One-month implied volatility, a measure of exchange-rate swings that traders use to price options, dropped 10 basis points, or 0.10 percentage point, to 4.4 percent, the lowest since September 2010.
The overnight money-market rate was little changed at 0.399 percent today and during the five-day period, according to a weighted average compiled by the Taiwan Interbank Money Center.

ALBUQUERQUE Shampoo and toothpaste could soon return to an airport near you.
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are developing a new type of scanner that can distinguish liquids blaring out a warning for bad ones, like explosives, while letting through good ones, like water.
The device can already detect about 50 liquids and when commercialized should cost about the same as a normal airport X-ray scanner, said Michelle Espy, a Los Alamos scientist.
"I hope this makes air travel easier and safer for people," Espy said. "I know I'm looking forward to it when I'm traveling."
The scanner uses magnetic resonance imaging to see signals from a variety of chemicals. The idea grew from a different LANL project to create an inexpensive, portable hospital MRI, said Bob Kraus, another scientist on the project.
"When the London news about liquid explosives on planes hit the wires, we thought, 'Gee, we might actually have a way to impact this,"' Kraus said. "It's fascinating when one project transfers to another area like this did."
About 50 people have been working part-time on the device since fall 2006. It was funded through a $3.3 million grant from the Department of Homeland Security.
The group hopes to test the scanners first at the Albuquerque Sunport sometime after August 2008, when the final two prototypes are finished, Espy said.
In airports, the scanners could go directly behind normal X-ray scanners, so they wouldn't be particularly disruptive to the standard screening process in place today.
They will be able to scan bottles as big as a "magnum-sized champaign bottle," Espy said.
"Apparently the whole duty-free thing is suffering, and people can't carry their liquor on airplanes anymore," Espy said. "It's been disruptive to commerce. So, that's one of the benefits of this."
Software upgrades could add new liquids to the device's detection list if any new threats arise, she said.
"The nice thing about this system is it's not tuned to any specific threats," Espy said. "As new materials of concern arise, it can be adapted to detect those."
The inexpensive portable hospital MRI is also coming along well, Kraus said.
"We got our first human brain image two weeks ago," Kraus said. "We're preparing a paper on that."
After prototypes are complete, both MRI technologies will have to go through commercial development before they get to the public.
The hospital MRI could be ready for commercialization in the next few years, Kraus said.
The airport version should be ready some time after the prototypes are tested, Espy said.
"Of course, everybody wants it now," she said with a laugh.

Kate Humble and her husband, Ludo, have launched an ambitious plan to preserve a Monmouthshire farm and use its old buildings as a centre to teach rural skills and animal husbandry. Here Kate reports on their progress:
A truck drove up and parked in a quiet corner of a motorway service station car-park. The driver didn't get out, but sat reading the paper and listening to the lunchtime news on the radio. Half an hour later another vehicle, this one towing a trailer, pulled in and drew to a halt beside the truck. Both drivers emerged and greeted each other. Money changed hands, the cover was lifted off the trailer and a crate taken from the back and loaded into the truck. There was a short final exchange and both drivers parted, driving off in opposite directions.
This assignation happened in broad daylight at an M4 service station outside Cardiff on a Sunday. The planning was immaculate, the transaction, suspicious though it must have looked to anyone watching from the sidelines, entirely legal, and as a result I'm the proud owner of 12 new hens. That morning Lucy, a volunteer from the British Hen Welfare Trust, had picked up several hundred commercial layers from a farm in Cornwall. Commercial layers – whether free-range, barn or caged – have a short life. They are kept until they are about 10 months old; then, as their productivity starts to wane, they are sent for slaughter and replaced by new stock.
Earlier this year I was put in touch with a farmer near us with 16,000 hens producing barn eggs. He can't bear the waste of young birds that are still laying being turned into pies or pet food and tries to get them re-homed. As a result, I took a dozen of his commercial layers, and they lay beautifully.
My new birds had spent all their laying life in cages. Battery cages – bare wire enclosures big enough to contain a hen but not big enough for it to move – were banned in Britain in January this year. My birds would have been kept in what are called enriched cages – larger cages holding up to 90 birds each with perches, a scratching area and a nest box to allow a certain amount of natural behaviour.
That they didn't go to slaughter but are instead beginning a new life on our farm is thanks to the tireless work of Jane Howorth. Jane is the champion of the commercial layer. Seven years ago she founded the British Hen Welfare Trust, and her sensible, pragmatic approach has made her a real force for change. She, like many of us, would like to see caged egg production banned altogether. 'But the onus is not simply on farmers,' she told me. 'As long as businesses and consumers demand cheap eggs, we will have caged birds. Even if we ban caged egg production in Britain, businesses will simply get their eggs from abroad, where welfare standards might be much worse.'
As well as educating consumers and persuading businesses such as Hellmann's, the mayonnaise people, to use only free-range eggs, she runs an extensive re-homing programme. Jane works with about 50 farms around the country and together with a national network of volunteers has found new homes for more than 300,000 birds to date. 'It's hugely rewarding for people to take on these scruffy hens and see their gradual transformation into happy, healthy, free-range birds,' she says.
My birds are certainly scruffy. With their wonky beaks, overgrown claws and bald patches, they are not, as Tim, our tenant farmer, pointed out when we unloaded them from the crate, going to win a beauty contest any time soon. Jane had warned me that they would take a day or two to adjust to their new surroundings, and although some of them ventured to the door of their house and looked out at the grass, none was quite brave enough to make the leap. But early the next morning a text arrived from Tim. 'Chickens are out. You've even got some eggs!' It seems they are taking to the free-range life rather nicely.

I want more red dead too... it's my favorite R* game this gen. #1.1.1 Agree(22) | Disagree(3) | Report JamieL + 1114d ago Don't forget Gun, that was an awesome game as well. To me. #1.1.2 Agree(10) | Disagree(2) | Report TopDudeMan + 1114d ago See, I was never into the western scene, so when the game was announced I didn't see the appeal. So I can see the standpoint of the people who told them that, but when the game came out, I bought it because my friends were playing it and loved it. It showed that rockstar can write an awesome story. #1.1.3 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report Outside_ofthe_Box + 1114d ago ***"See, I was never into the western scene, so when the game was announced I didn't see the appeal."*** Same for me. I was never into the whole "old wild west" thing. The game has made me more open to the genre though. I bought the game because it was a Rocktstar game as Rockstar rarely succeeds at disappointing. #1.1.4 (Edited 1114d ago ) | Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report Pushagree + 1114d ago I'm glad Rockstar took the chance with this one. John's story and the way it all ended was one of the most memorable moments in gaming this generation for me. The game showed that you can do something different and still be a success and the industry needs a lot more of that. #1.1.5 Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report Freak of Nature + 1114d ago @ Knight_Crawler... Yup, I cannot wait to see what this team will do on next gen systems... This game is full of win! One of my top 5 games this gen....Should be on most peoples top 10 list's... I cannot wait to see what they have cooking with there next game.... #1.1.6 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report knowyourstuff + 1114d ago Not entirely accurate on the title, it was simply someone who worked for Rockstar who was saying it may end up being a disaster if they were to put a massive amount of money into a western, when westerns weren't 'Popular' at the time. This only goes to prove what most people know - it doesn't matter what the genre is, or the setting, or other surface level things like time period etc. A popular game is, always has been, and always will be a game that is WELL DESIGNED. As long as it's fun, and has amazing design, it doesn't matter the time period, whether it's a western, or survival horror game, if it sucks beyond belief, it generally speaking won't sell. If it's amazing, it generally will sell. There are always exceptions to the rule on both sides, but generally speaking you need quality and fun first, everything else is second. #1.1.7 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report blackmamba707 + 1114d ago that disaster sold 13M copies, how wrong can you get #1.2 (Edited 1114d ago ) | Agree(26) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply raWfodog + 1114d ago I wonder if whoever told them that still has a job because they couldn't have been more wrong. #1.2.1 Agree(12) | Disagree(0) | Report vortis + 1114d ago @raWfodog they probably still have their job, handing out horrible advice, like "Mobile phones will kill console games", which is why big pubs keep making stupid comments about us core gamers giving up our beloved consoles/PCs to play on some shoddy tablet device. #1.2.2 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report -GametimeUK- + 1114d ago I predicted a disaster. I am not in the slightest bit interested in the western setting. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't appeal to me. I got the game day one and never played it... ... until a few months ago. I realized I was proven wrong BIG TIME. I should never judge a book by its cover. This game captivated me like no other game this year. It turned an absolute non believer into a huge fan of the game. It even made me buy a Red Dead avatar for my PSN profile just to show my support for this game. That avatar is a symbol of how wrong I was and my love for the game. Fantastic game... I WAS doubtful too... I was incredibly wrong. #1.3 Agree(29) | Disagree(5) | Report | Reply Jobesy + 1114d ago Kudos for manning up and admitting you were wrong.

The mp is highly underrated also, especially the co-op modes. #1.3.1 Agree(11) | Disagree(1) | Report grailly + 1114d ago you predicted a disaster because western settings don't appeal to you? then you still bought it? lol you're right about the game being brilliant BTW #1.3.2 Agree(8) | Disagree(0) | Report JoGam + 1114d ago When I heard RDR had posse's I had to get it. #1.3.3 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report Oh_Yeah + 1114d ago Im sure RDR was a system seller too..for the people who only had a pc. #1.4 (Edited 1114d ago ) | Agree(6) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply PhantomT1412 + 1114d ago If I recall the exact quote, the Housers were told that making a western-themed game would be a disaster. #1.5 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply wastedcells + 1114d ago It may have looked like a failure on paper because wester themed game are a tuff sell but rockstar knows how to make games engaging, immersive and fun so the results were amazing. They prove that good games sell.. Period. Other developers should be taking notes. #1.6 (Edited 1114d ago ) | Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply vortis + 1114d ago This right here. Instead of taking note about making "good quality games" pubs will see this as "Uh, Red Dead made a lot of money?! let's throw $20 million at a generic clone and it'll make money too!!!" For now they've yet to clone Rockstar games this gen like they did during the PS2 era (although the GTA clones in the PS2 era were hardcore, cool and some of them were almost better than GTA) but this gen pubs are chasing COD's money trail. They'll probably chase GTA's money trail for next-gen. #1.6.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report RumbleFish + 1114d ago If they only would bring it to pc, this brilliant game.

Really all they do now apart from get games onto shelves (just launch digitally and they aren't needed) is hold onto the profits from games and trickle only the required funds back to the developer, because the shareholders need their payouts. edit: Also, if made by a good dev team and given enough time, almost any concept can become an incredible game. #11 (Edited 1114d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply vortis + 1114d ago LOL this post is so true. Looking at Minecraft it's obvious that a well crafted game beats any and all "forecasts" by so-called industry analysts and publishing executives. Those top-tier guys don't play games, they don't know video games, they don't know game culture, they have NO idea what makes a game fun. Using metrics, focus group testing and marketing data is not how you determine how to make a fun game that will have a long tail and lasting appeal.

This game is crafted with so subtle touches and the storytelling is so humble that I friggin love it. Calmly unfolding story, serene cutscenes, gorgeous scenery... It doesn't rush anything, it has a long, great introduction, and a lenghty, conclusive and gorgeously played finale, with a well thought epilogue. When the game ends, it fills you with a strong feeling of "satisfaction" which most of the games out there lack nowadays. It's an example of how you make a great game. #13 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply franko + 1114d ago I wonder why it never went on pc. I.

Maya Buri
What we say:
Although not on the beachfront, Maya Buri Boutique Resort is a good flashpacker option on Ko Samui that's centrally located for those with hired scooters. A big pool as well as good rates more than make up for the location.
Although it's not the most scenic location, you can't knock it as a central point to most of the popular areas. This road leads to Chaweng, as well as to the Ring Road near Big C shopping centre, and Bang Rak (Big Buddha) beach. Rooms are set in well-maintained gardens, many facing the large pool. This is a quiet residential area for locals and expats, with many small sois leading off the Ghost Road.
Although a relatively busy thoroughfare, there's only noise from the reception area and Mushroom Restaurant, which serves reasonably priced breakfasts, Thai favourites and Chinese and Western dishes. There's an adjoining bar if you don't feel like venturing out, but along this road you won't be short of cafes, bars and streetside vendors.
Rooms all have air-con, fridges and cable TV as well as ensuite bathrooms with hot showers — rooms are serviced daily, too.
There are several room types, but the two lower categories are worth mentioning, as they are spacious and well equipped for the price. Studio rooms range between 750 and 950 baht per night, and standards are from 1,000 to 1,200. If you're prepared to splash out a little extra for more space, the slightly bigger deluxe rooms are 1,200 to 1,400 per night. The reception staff were happy to negotiate a better price for longer stays.
Rooms are bright and breezy, with pale yellow walls and screed floors. WiFi is free, and the resort offers a laundry service, car and scooter rental as well as the standard tour desk services. There's a small onsite spa too.
If you're feeling energetic, the Samui Tennis Club is down this road, as is Yato Fitness and also 99 Sports Club, offering badminton, a swimming pool, foosball, pool (snooker), karaoke and a fitness centre.
Maya Buri isn't on the main songthaew routes as they tend to stick to the ring and loop roads, but all in all, if you don't mind being away from the beach and have hired a scooter or a jeep, Maya Buri is a solid flashpacker option.

" Migraine medications overview
Migraine is a serious, potentially life-threatening neurological disease that affects nearly 36 million Americans, the majority of whom are women. The American Migraine Foundation estimates that one in ev"...
Cardiovascular: Vasoconstrictive complications of a serious nature may occur at times. These include ischemia, cyanosis, absence of pulse, cold extremities, gangrene, precordial distress and pain, EKG changes and muscle pains. Although these effects occur most commonly with long-term therapy at relatively high doses, they have also been reported with short-term or normal doses. Other cardiovascular adverse effects include transient tachycardia or bradycardia and hypertension.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea and vomiting.
Neurological: paresthesias, numbness, weakness, and vertigo.
Allergic: Localized edema and itching.
Fibrotic Complications
(see WARNINGS).
Drug Abuse And Dependence: There have been reports of drug abuse and psychological dependence in patients on CAFERGOT® (ergotamine tartrate and caffeine) (ergotamine tartrate and caffeine tablets, USP) therapy. Due to the chronicity of vascular headaches, it is imperative that patients be advised not to exceed recommended dosages with long-term use to avoid ergotism (see PRECAUTIONS).
Read the Cafergot (ergotamine tartrate and caffeine) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
CYP 3A4 Inhibitors (e.g., Macrolide Antibiotics and Protease Inhibitors): See CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS.
CAFERGOT® (ergotamine tartrate and caffeine tablets, USP) should not be administered with other vasoconstrictors. Use with sympathomimetics (pressor agents) may cause extreme elevation of blood pressure. The beta-blocker Inderal (propranolol) has been reported to potentiate the vasoconstrictive action of CAFERGOT® (ergotamine tartrate and caffeine tablets, USP) by blocking the vasodilating property of epinephrine. Nicotine may provoke vasoconstriction in some patients, predisposing to a greater ischemic response to ergot therapy.
The blood levels of ergotamine-containing drugs are reported to be elevated by the concomitant administration of macrolide antibiotics and vasospastic reactions have been reported with therapeutic doses of the ergotamine-containing drugs when coadministered with these antibiotics.

text: I got tired of the tubulars and the constant flats and decided to switch to some very attractive Rigida polished aluminum clinchers and a set a Panaracer Paselas in 700x28. I figured that for the type of riding I use the old Bottecchia for and considering my 200-lbs bulk this would be appropriate. But man to they look big! Like a fat-tired beach cruiser. They actually measure 26mm wide but they are substantially taller than the tubulars were or the 700x23s on my modern road bike. I'm not sure I like the look but I'm kinda stuck with it now. Maybe it'll grow on me. What do ya'll think?

Washington Authority Sells First Public Utility Century Bonds
The District of Columbia Water & Sewer Authority sold $350 million of taxable bonds to be repaid in 100 years, marking the first issuance of century bonds by a U.S. public utility.
The authority increased the deal by $50 million from its original $300 million offering, and moved the sale date from next week to today, said Mark Kim, DC Water's chief financial officer. Orders were placed for about $1.1 billion, and buyers included insurance companies and pensions, he said.
Proceeds from the sale of the taxable revenue bonds with a final maturity of October 2114 will be used to build tunnels as part of a $2.6 billion project to fix sewer outflows in waterways, bond documents show. The deal priced to yield 4.81 percent as benchmark 30-year Treasuries yield 3.37 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The structure of this transaction offered a lot to the market," Kim said in a telephone interview. "It was a very highly rated credit coming into this space in very favorable market conditions."
The borrowing benefits from demand for long-term debt, which has earned 11 percent this year, compared with 5.9 percent for the broader $3.7 trillion municipal market, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show. The bonds are rated Aa2, the third-highest investment grade by Moody's Investors Service.
