Michel Nostradamus
(Channel Seven, 10.30pm)
Prediction: a great wailing and gnashing of teeth will accompany this inquiry into the works of Nostradamus. The wailing will come from devoted Nostradamians, those who believe in the visions of the 16th-century Frenchman with a penchant for vagueness and predictions of disaster; the gnashing from ferocious anti-Nostradamus forces who see him as a fake and regard his followers as fools who trade in ignorance and promote fear.
Nostradamus: A Skeptical Inquiry is built around a debate at Yale University that pits Jack Latona against Victor Baines. Latona is a professional skeptic from the James Randi Educational Foundation, and committed fan Baines is author of Remember the Future: the Prophecies of Nostradamus. Excerpts from their curiously limp stoush are woven into a broader examination of Nostradamus' life and the contentious quatrains.
We learn that Mick Nostradamus (Michel to his friends) was a healer, an apothecary and a physician who lost his family to plague and became a dabbler in dark arts. He combined elements of Judaeo-Christian sources with astrology, the occult and study of the ancients to produce works that became best-sellers. In his "histories of the future" he made predictions about events as far ahead as the year 3797. His immense popularity in his day makes Nostradamus perhaps the world's first author to make a fortune writing science fiction.
Much of the pro-Nostradamus camp's case requires considerable wrestling of his Old French metaphors, homonyms and anagrams to match historical events if they're to be accepted as legitimate predictions. Even then, says the anti camp, they're more like post dictions because they're only connected to events after the fact.
Tenuous connections are made to attach his words to the rise of Hitler and Osama bin Laden, who, though he isn't named, is cast as the Third Antichrist (I must have been up the shops when they named the first two). Given the paucity of footage from the 1500s, the producers rely on re-enactment and parchment covered by gorgeous flowing ink. If only we'd bought shares in calligraphy before this went into production.
It doesn't take a Nostradamus to foresee the result of the debate. But the arrival of a new Nostradamus program on television does raise a truly terrifying question: can an Erich von Daniken special be far behind?

The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum today announced that it will host a one-day spring workshop for 25 Virginia history teachers on Monday, April 26, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The workshop continues the second year of a three-year program of history education seminars for high school teachers from Waynesboro Public Schools and seven other Virginia school districts. The program is made possible by a Teaching American History grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
Waynesboro Public Schools received the grant in partnership with the Presidential Library, Augusta County Schools, Amherst County Schools, Fredericksburg City Schools and Winchester Public Schools. Teachers from Staunton City, Rockingham County, and Rockbridge County will also be participating.
The workshop will support a week-long summer institute held in June as part of a professional development curriculum entitled "Critical Connections in American History." In addition to this coming summer's institute, the teachers will continue the program with a visit to Gettysburg. The curriculum is designed to improve the teachers' knowledge and appreciation of American history by focusing on critical connections in America's past.
During the second year of the program, which focuses on the 19th century, the teachers are examining four topics: immigration and the economic transformation of the U.S., the Civil War and Reconstruction, the making of modern corporate America, and the U.S. emergence as an imperial power.
Through the participating teachers, the Teaching American History grant will enhance the history education of thousands of students over the term of the grant. The project is designed to strengthen teachers' understanding of American history, impart a sense of the interplay of factors that influenced national development, provide knowledge of primary documents and material artifacts, demonstrate the use of advanced technology and, ultimately, improve students' performance on standardized tests in American history.
Those interested in more information about this program should contact Dr. Joel Hodson, Director of Education at the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and Museum, at (540) 885-0897, extension 103, or email@example.com.

Hi, I am a 28 yr old female from Pennsylvania. I am 5ft tall and weigh 134lbs. I have had 2 children, oldest 8, youngest 6. My breast size is 36c, or so this is what I buy, could possibly be a D. I am thinking of having breast reduction to go to a small B cup. My sister and I wear the same size, but she is taller than me so they look smaller. She always makes fun of me since I'm smaller that mine look huge! I'd like my face to be the first thing people see, not my breast! Any advice?
Interested in Breast Reduction. 36c Maybe D to a Small B, Will It Cost Alot? I Want my Breast to Match my Body!
Doctor Answers 2
Going from a large C or small D down is not a breast reduction
Going from a large C or small D down is not a breast reduction, but would be more descriptive of a mastopexy (lift) surgery which may or maynot involve removing small amounts of tissue. The size you're describing would make this a cosmetic case rather then an insurance eligible procedure in all likilihood
Breast Reduction Candidate?
Thank you for the question.
Based on your description, you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery; The best place to start may be a visit with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss options. Make sure you see lots of examples of his/her work and learn about the potential risks/complications associated with the procedure. Generally speaking, breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations were performed.
Sometimes breast reduction surgery is covered by health insurance companies. The best way to obtain insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery involves some "hoops" to jump through. The more documentation you have (for example, from your primary care doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor etc.) the better when it comes to obtaining insurance "authorization" for the procedure.
This documentation and letter/pictures from your plastic surgeon will help you obtain authorization.
Best wishes.

DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Campbell University men's tennis team took home four flight championships this past weekend at the Jeff Frank Invitational, hosted by Davidson College. Fernando Guillen, David Clavera, and Josep Baro all won singles titles while August Iwdal and Ondrej Kralik won a doubles title.
The invitational was a flight championship for both singles and doubles with each flight carrying a weighted point system. The top flight, No. 1, carried eight points and went all the way down to flight No. 8, which carried one point. In doubles it was the top flight, No. 1, carrying four points all the way down to the No. 4 spot, which was worth one point.
Guillen was the winner of the flight one singles championship. The Mexico native began his tournament run on Friday by defeating Chris Mark of Davidson (6-4, 6-3). He then knocked off Jack Williams of Charlotte (7-6, 6-1) on Saturday to claim the title. Guillen improved his fall singles record to 6-3.
Clavera won back to back matches on Saturday to claim the flight three singles championship. Clavera knocked off Calum Gee of Davidson (6-0, 6-1) and Alain Humblet of ASU (4-6, 7-6, 10-8). The Barcelona, Spain native is now 4-3 in the fall season.
Baro finished 3-0 in the tournament to claim the flight five singles championship. The junior defeated Davidson's Robert Lightbourn 6-3, 6-0 on Friday and Nate Shanok of Charlotte (4-6, 6-3, 10-4) and Andrew Mckinnon of ASU (6-2, 6-0) on Saturday. Baro was the only camel to finish undefeated in singles play at the tournament.
Iwdal and Kralik won the flight two doubles championship. The duo knocked off Ethan Kallick and Connor Evins (9-7) of Davidson and Paul Cisti and Alex Webber (8-2) of Charlotte. This was the second championship of the fall season for Iwdal and Kralik after winning the flight B doubles title at the UNCW Seahawk Invitational on September 18. The duo is 6-1 this fall season.
Campbell returns to the courts next weekend, October 7, at the Elon Fall Invitational.

Breast Reduction - Jenkintown, PA
I had a breast reduction 4 months ago and am extremely happy with my results. I no longer have neck, shoulder or back pain associated with very large breast. I had about 2 weeks down time and the recovery was not bad at all. For pain I only used advil as needed. I highly recommend having the surgery and for me it was the best thing ever. READ MORE

Mandy's Cafe stuffed hot pepper cakes were born of frustration
Many cooks create dishes through a process of trial and error. The stuffed hot pepper cakes at Mandy's Cafe (3796 Clinton St., West Seneca, 771-1553) started out by just plain error.
"When I would leave my cooks here, they could never get out the stuffed peppers the way I like to look at it," said owner David Ohl, who opened Mandy's 26 years ago. Getting a properly tender pepper that didn't have the cheese stuffing oozing onto the plate was challenging.
"So I said 'The hell with it, I'm going to do something you can't goof up,' and that's what I came up with," he said. They've been on the menu for about 10 years.
Mandy's stuffed hot pepper cakes are yet another chapter in the efforts of Buffalo-area restaurants to make the cheese-stuffed spicy chile the most riffed-upon Buffalo standard since the chicken wing. At Mandy's, Ohl has also offered a stuffed hot pepper quesadilla and a stuffed hot pepper pasta. "I put them on a fried bologna sandwich, that's a big hit," he said.
The pepper cakes start out with the same yellow Hungarian peppers, chopped fresh. They're mixed with a blend of Italian cheeses and spices. Since the fresh peppers can vary considerably in heat level, Ohl adjusts the amount of chiles he adds to each batch. How hot does he want them? "You can taste the pepper, but it's not going to burn you," he said.
Sausage was part of the mixture until one Lenten season, when he took it out because people weren't ordering the cakes. "People seemed to like the ones without sausage better."
The mixture goes into a cooler, and when an order comes in, a scoop of cheese-pepper mixture is rolled in panko breadcrumbs and squished onto the hot griddle. An order of two cakes with a side of tomato sauce is $5.95.
"Our hot pepper cakes are made fresh to order, every single time," Ohl said. "Nothing frozen. That's why they're so good."

East Tennessee Children's Hospital has some of the highest quality standards in the United States. The data below is a sampling of some of the most common types of potential safety issues associated with your child's stay at Children's Hospital and the steps we are taking to prevention infection. Click here to view the infographic as a PDF.
A music video produced by East Tennessee Children's Hospital emphasizes patient safety with a hip hop twist.
"We take patient safety seriously, and we've spent most of the year reinforcing our already strong safety culture through a training program called Destination Zero," said Jeanann Pardue, M.D., chief quality officer for Children's Hospital.
The video was originally intended as an internal reminder for staff about that program. It features lyrics addressing key safety behaviors and is set to the tune of Vanilla Ice's early 90s rap Ice Ice Baby.
"We wanted to deliver this serious message in a fun and energetic way," said Paul Parson, communications manager for the hospital. "We were so proud of the end result we decided to share it with the community. Not only does it stress our commitment to patient safety, but the video also showcases our caring staff and the type of environment that makes a pediatric hospital so special."
The rapper is Josh Picquet, R.N., a nurse educator at the hospital. The video also features both clinical and nonclinical staff, volunteers and former patients.

Disclose All Material Facts When Comparing Business Insurance Online
If you are in business you will want the re-assurance that the business insurance policy you bought is actually going to cover your losses and pay out in the event of a claim.
It is an unfortunate fact that when then worst happens and your business makes a claim on the policy, that either the offer from the insurance company is nothing like what you lost or expected to receive to get the business flowing again, or worse still that the claim itself is contested or repudiated.
The majority of these problems occur at the proposal stage which translates in modern parlance to the quote stage.
All the information a business supplies when applying for business insurance quotes online, will eventually become part of the policy contract. All insurance contracts come under a class of legal contracts subject to the rule of 'utmost good faith' and this requires full disclosure of material facts. If mistakes are made when filling in online forms and comparing business insurance quotes, then this will cause problems for the policyholder when a claim is investigated.
The FSA is already investigating the use of default data in form fields for personal lines products sold online and the potential for these contracts to be missold. We asked Insurance Blogger to have a closer look at this increasingly occurring problem that will only be exacerbated by the increased popularity, particularly for small business insurance, of using an online business insurance supplier.
Get Your Business Details Correct When Applying Online For Business Insurance Quotes
Applying for business insurance quotes online has become a simple process and many of the five million small businesses in the UK are purchasing cover this way.
It is now easy to get both business property and liability insurance quotes and buy cover online from numerous outlets including commercial insurance brokers, direct business insurance companies and business insurance price comparison sites.
Every type of business cover can be bought online if your company does not employ more than fifty employees, and even these larger cases are handled today by helplines and callback facilities.
The practice of buying cover online is particularly of interest to small business and self employed tradesman, often working from home. An hours research and comparison of business insurance quotes could save a small business a significant amount in annual premiums.
There are however sometimes major problems that arise for businesses that buy online, further down the line, if they are unfortunate enough to have to make a claim against the policy.
The majority of the problems that can delay a payment or repudiate a claim, occur because of the information about the business that was supplied or given, when first getting a business insurance quote.
It is therefore imperative when getting quotes online that the correct information about the business is supplied.
In particular clams will be questioned when the business is either misrepresented by the information supplied or there has been an alteration to the business activities which was not declared when getting the quotes.
Misrepresentation can be either deliberate to avoid paying additional premiums or unintentional, however neither is an excuse and will be penalised.
Deliberate misrepresentation is for example a builder applying for builders liability insurance quotes,who uses heat and works at height but who declares he only works on single storey extensions. Another example would be a company applying for employers liability who only declare half of the workforce.
Unintentional misrepresentation is far more common but can still lead to disappointment when making a claim.
Get your sums insured right
The most common mistake made by business men and women when applying for business insurance cover online, is to declare the value of property at a level less than its true worth. This could apply to declared sums insured for commercial buildings and or contents insurance.
If the declared value of the sums insured is less than market value or the cost of re-instatement, whichever is applicable to a particular policy, then the claim will be subject to what insurance companies call 'Average'. All properties will be subject to average if the market is inflationary and prices have risen over the period of the contract.
Average is applied to a claim and is a means by which the insurance company will reduce its liabilities. Average assume that the businessman will cover the loss for the difference between the declared sum insured and the true value and will reduce the claim amount proportionally.
Claims will also be repudiated and denied where it is found out that their has been an alteration to the original cover described at the quote stag which later went on to form the policy contract. For example if a motor trader has not declared that he also runs a taxi business with the same vehicles in the evenings for hire and reward.
To avoid disappointment and ensure that your business is properly covered be prepared with the correct and most up to date information about your business, when applying online for business insurance quotes.
When applying for business insurance quotes online it makes sense to use a company that can either offer fixed levels of cover so that you know that your business falls within these, or provide additional help and advice from an expert or broker on the phone.
At UK Commercial Ltd. you can compare business insurance quotes online from multiple suppliers who offer various levels of cover so that you can avoid losing out to average, at a claim.

Part 3. Introduction
(Please ignore the horrible ASCII art up there.)
Hey there. Welcome to my first FAQ ever, dedicated to the hunter who is
probably the most underrated of all seven - Kanden. When playing wi-fi, all
I ever see being used (most of the time) is Trace, Sylux and Weavel some of
the time. I used to use Sylux and Trace most of the time, and felt the need
to pick another character that people underestimated.
Then one day, I witnessed the true power of Kanden. Then I thought, hey, why
don't I just try him out? And I did. I was amazed by the power of the Volt
Driver, and what a diverse weapon it was.
Well, I'll stop rambling on now, and get to the part you came for.
Part 4. Kanden and the Stinglarva
Kanden is a fairly well-rounded character. His Volt Driver is deadly
when charged, due to its homing abilities, and he has an extremely useful
alt form.
The Stinglarva moves fairly quickly, and has bombs that, when dropped, home
into the enemy before exploding. This is EXTREMELY useful, especially when
running away. Since it moves quickly, your opponent probably won't catch up.
But if they do, your bombs will stop them, and even do a fair amount of
damage. If you are low on health, and think your opponent is trying to snipe
you, move in unpredictable patterns until you find energy. Otherwise, they'll
predict your pattern and go for the kill.
While in biped form, Kanden is best used at medium-range. This is because the
Volt Driver can home into your enemies, and while their screen is fuzzy,
you can rapidly shoot your Volt Driver at them, and maybe even aim for a
Kanden is kind of a big target, though. His upper-torso stands out from the
rest of his body, while his head is fairly small. This means it is harder for
your opponent to get a headshot, but easier to get a normal hit on Kanden.
But strafing around and jumping can easily help you avoid getting sniped, as
long as you're not jumping/strafing in a predictable pattern.
Kanden is good in large stages, such as Head Shot, due to (again) the Volt
Driver's homing ability. But this doesn't mean Kanden can't excel in the
smaller stages. In fact, I tend to do better in tiny stages like Processor
Part 5. The Volt Driver (and other weapons)
Kanden's affinity weapon, the Volt Driver, is a deadly weapon indeed. It does
a fair amount of damage when not charged, but when it is charged, it is
REALLY useful.
The most useful thing about the Volt Driver is the fact that it homes in on
your opponent. It can be useful long-range, medium-range and even short-range.
This makes Kanden useful in any level.
The Volt Driver is also really strong, taking off 50-60 damage charged, and
around 15 damage uncharged (thanks to Revoletion for the info).
It also makes your opponent's screen all blurry, which helps you out in some
cases (like in levels where you can fall off).
A simple strategy that I mentioned above and see a lot is charging up
the Volt Driver, firing it at your opponent, and while their screen is blurry,
fire rapid shots at them (hopefully getting a couple of headshots even). This
does a lot of damage if you can pull it off.
The Volt Driver is found in every level (except for Oubliette), and if
not then there's always the affinity weapon pick-up.
Actually, here's the exact damage the Volt Driver does (thanks to
MetaRidley276 for posting it):
Volt Driver: 14
Volt Driver-Headshot: 21
Volt Driver-Charge: 56
So as you can see, charged does about 56 damage, which means 4 fully charged
Volt Driver shots will kill your opponent, and that's only if they have maxed
out health to begin with.
A counter-strategy that most people use against the Volt Driver is going up
close to the Volt Driver user while they're charging it, so even if they get
hit, the user's screen will also go blurry. Don't let this stop you from using
the Volt Driver. As long as you can still screw them up for a bit, just use it.
After all, to win, you'll have to make SOME sacrifices... (I heard that from
somewhere, but can't remember exactly where right now lol.)
Here are some tips about the Volt Driver Lokarin let me use:
"The VoltDriver shot is a HUGE projectile, even without Kanden its impossible
to dodge it in a small corridor... also, the shot is SOOO big it actually
blocks your targets vision... and no, I don't mean the HUD distortion, I mean
the projectile itself is hard to see through... ANYTHING could be behind
it... a rushing Kanden... an Imperialist snipe... anything...
Another thing you may not know is that you are able to rapid fire AS SOON AS
you release your charge... meaning you can cause your opponent to panicked
even as soon as you fire...."
Credit goes to Lokarin.
Now getting to the other weapons...
The power beam is like a watered-down version of the Volt Driver. It is useful
to every hunter, since it has infinite ammo. Only use this if you don't have
the Volt Driver yet, or if you're saving up on ammo. It has the same firing
rate as the Volt Driver, so only use it if you're out on ammo or saving it up
for later.
Missiles have a pretty wide splash radius, but has a moderately-slow firing
rate. Don't bother charging it unless you're sure you'll hit. It does quite a
lot of damage when charged, so go for it if you want.
The Magmaul is a powerful weapon when charged, but isn't that great if you're
not Spire, as he gets teh BURNINATOR as his affinity bonus. Another con is
that it fires on an arc, which means less accuracy unless you're a skilled
expert. In short, only use the Magmaul if you have to. Otherwise, it would be
smart to conserve your UA for other things.
The sniper rifle of MPH, this weapon will come in handy to every hunter. The
Imperialist is the fastest weapon EVAR, it's so fast that if you get your last
kill with it you can still see the beam killing your opponent when it changes
to the overview screen. It's not only useful for sniping from afar, but also
comes in handy during close-up combat aswell. Also, a headshot with this thing
from far away is a one-hit KO. Awesome, eh? Well, it's not that awesome if
your opponent knows that you're trying to snipe them, so try not to miss, or
they'll see where the beam came from, giving you away entirely. Once they find
out where you are, they'll just strafe and jump like crazy, hoping you'll miss
them. Don't waste your ammo when they do that, because you'll need it for
later. Overall, I'd say the Imperialist is the best weapon in the game, and
that doesn't just go for Trace.
Ahh... The Shock Coil. Otherwise known as the weapon of mass destruction for
Syluxs case. But this weapon is not only useful for Sylux, as it can come in
handy for any hunter. One case where it comes in handy the most is when Weavel
goes alt. Just strafe around the halfturret using the Shock Coil to kill it
easily. The Shock Coil homes into your enemy, and does more damage over time,
which can kill your opponent in less than 15 seconds. One con about it is that
it's only close range, so keep that in mind.
The Judicator... Well I don't have much to say about the Judicator. Charged
shots fire three at a time for three ammo (what a deal!), and the shots
bounce around the walls before disappearing or hitting your opponent. This is
pretty useful in small hallways like the one in Combat Hall, but other than
that... I only find it useful when playing as Noxus. But that's just my
(stupid) opinion, so use it if you like.
Last but certainly not least, the Battlehammer. The Battlehammer is an
underrated weapon, and has a really fast firing rate. It does a lot of damage
when used correctly, but can't be charged. Instead, when the fire button is
held, it fires rapid shots, which does a lot of damage if you can adjust to
the Battlehammer's arc shaped shots.
Part 6. Kanden Vs. Strategies
In this section, I will give a brief description of how to deal with each
hunter, and what to do in a certain situation (to the best of my ability =P).
--Part 6. I. - Vs. Samus--
Samus. A very well balanced character, with a deadly alt in the hands of an
expert. Samus's affinity is the missile, with which she can home in on you.
Try finding an Imperialist somewhere in the level, and try sniping her. Avoid
her Morph Ball bombs at all costs. Or, if she tries to hit you with homing
missiles from a far side of the level, and home into her with your Volt
Driver. If she comes close up and fires endless missiles at you, either run
for it or try using the Shock Coil if you have one. If you're dying, go into
alt form and run, but don't alt spam right beside them and run around in
circles, while they hopelessly die. Actually, NEVER alt spam, no matter who
you're facing. It will probably piss them off and they'll either disconnect,
or alt spam back.
Okay, back to running. When you drop your bombs, try timing them, so Samus gets
hit every time, or jumps right into one. If she's in alt form, then drop your
alt bombs like crazy. If you notice that she isn't following you anymore, go
for the nearest energy before she gets it (or them).
One simple strategy I notice most Samus players use is to boost into their
opponent, and then use a bomb. This does a lot of damage if done right, so
avoid letting Samus boost into you.
Overall, Kanden does best against Samus in large levels. And don't let Samus
abuse the Morph Ball bombs.
--Part 6. II. - Vs. Kanden--
Ever heard the saying "You're your own worst enemy"? Well, it's 100% true in
this case. But it's easy to predict what the other Kanden will do. All I can
tell you for this match up is to think about what you would do in the level
that you're playing in, or the situation you're in, and find its flaws. That
should work for you (most of the time, hehe).
--Part 6. III. - Vs. Spire--
First of all, before the match even starts, do NOT let Spire pick Alinos
Gateway (but only if you know they're gonna pick Spire). There's a glitch
that let's him into a rock and snipe at you from
inside of the rock, while you can't do anything. And plus, Spire is
invulnerable to lava, so it would give him an advantage anyway.
(NOTE: I've been told by Bitentili that you can shoot through the rock which
Spire can go in. I can't really test it because I'm busy, so can someone test
it for me?)
Spire's affinity is the Magmaul, which when charged can set you on fire. It
does a lot of damage, so avoid getting hit by it if you can. Spire is a pretty
big target, so he should be easy to hit. Try sniping him if the Volt Driver
doesn't work.
Spire's alt form is the Dialanche, which is harmful when used by the right
player. One bad thing about it (well, bad for the Spire user, heheh) is that
it's fairly slow, and it's a big target. But then again, it can climb walls,
making it easier for them to escape an attack or run away.
--Part 6. IV. - Vs. Trace--
The first thing you should do is not let the Trace user find an Imperialist.
If they do, they'll probably go to a remote location and try to snipe you.
One thing, though, is that since Kanden's head is fairly small, it becomes
harder for Trace to get a headshot on you with his Imperialist. This is good,
since headshot snipes are always 1-hit KO's.
The above part is for facing against a predictable Trace, though. A good Trace
will know not to use the Imperialist as much as other weapons. This can
either make it easier or harder for you, depending on what they do. All I can
say for this kind of Trace is beware of Trace's ability to become partially
invisible. You can miss them like that, especially if he's in alt form.
And speaking of alt forms, Trace's alt is annoyingly good. And by annoyingly
good, I mean that most Trace users will abuse it, instead of hide in a
corner and lunge at you when you come (which is a pretty good strategy, rather
than spamming it [unless the radar is on, obviously]). It does a lot of
damage, and if there's a double damage somewhere in the level, GET IT
BEFORE TRACE DOES. Trace's alt attack done twice + double damage = death for
Here's an effective way of dealing with Trace, sent in by Purechaos13:
"When fighting Trace, a good way to hit a sniping Trace (especially an
elevated one) is to charge up a volt Driver while jumping and strafing like
crazy. Then point it in his general direction and fire. Trace probably won't
be able to get out of the way fast enough, you won't have to aim, and
jumping/strafing a lot reduces your chance of being headshotted."
Credit goes to Purechaos.
--Part 6. V. - Vs. Sylux--
I always have trouble against Sylux, especially in those smaller levels. Don't
let him keep the lock with the Shock Coil, or else he'll start draining damage
off of you. The get out of the lock, try jumping around and strafing, hoping
he doesn't have good aim with it. If it's a newb Sylux, it should be easy to
break out of. But if it's an expert, and you taking more damage than you're
dealing, go into alt form and run for your life.
Sylux's alt is the most abused alt ever. About 70% of the Syluxs I face just
go into alt, and spam the bombs. Also, watch out for tripwires that they'll
plant somewhere, in most cases near energy. If there's a tripwire, they're
probably somewhere near it, and once you go near it, they'll pop out of
nowhere and use the last bomb to encase you in the tripwire triangle to deal
180 damage to you. This is almost an instant kill, so be very aware of that
Oh, and try not to let Sylux get the Shock Coil. Other than that, I can't
really help you out there. Just avoid alt spammers, and you'll be fine.
--Part 6. VI. - Vs. Noxus--
Noxus can be hard or easy, depending on if the user gets an Imperialist. If
they do, they can freeze you with the Judicator, then snipe you in the head
for an instant kill. This is a DEADLY combo. Don't let Noxus get an
Imperialist, and try to stop them from getting a Judicator as much as you can.
When Noxus freezes you, they'll probably keep shooting at you to get as much
health off of you before you unfreeze. While you're frozen, charge up a
weapon, and fire it right at Noxus when you thaw. Also, some Noxus users
will try to charge up the Judicator right after you are frozen, attempting to
freeze you right after you thaw. This is a pretty cheap strategy, but then
again, nothing in this game is cheap. I don't think anything is cheap, because
after reading that article about scrubs (if you read it you'll know what I'm
talking about), creating imaginary boundaries in a game seems juvenile.
Anyways, sorry for my rambling. Meh. Okay, so avoid getting frozen by Noxus,
or else you'll die for sure (if the player has precise aiming).
Noxus's alt is strong. But after he hits someone with it, he has to wait a
while until he can throw his arm out again. Use this to your advantage, and
try to blur up his screen to bide you some time if you need it.
Here's some tips that Purechaos13 told me:
"When fighting Noxus, a good way to fight the freezing strategy is to charge
up a Volt Driver and run as fast as you can backwards. As Noxus approaches,
with his affinity weapon charged up, let it rip. It'll distort his vision so
he may miss, and it'll definately hit (Noxus coming towards you + Volt Driver
homing towards him = ouch.)
Putting a lot of distance works great too, because a charged Volt Driver can
home over distances so you won't miss, and he won't be able to freeze you.
Also, never overuse your alt form when playing Noxus. You'll get frozen."
Credit goes to Purechaos.
Part 6. VII. - Vs. Weavel--
First of all, don't pick Combat Hall. Weavel will probably try to put his
turret in the center of the arena, or near the corner where the health is.
If you do happen to play in Combat Hall and Weavel uses that strategy, just
let him do it, and kill it with rapid power beam shots while strafing around
and jumping.
Weavel's affinity is the Battlehammer, and it doesn't get much of an affinity
boost, only a bit more knockback and damage radius. Weavel will probably not
use the Battlehammer that much, though. He shouldn't be too hard, just avoid
those alt spamming newbs (or noobs) that always pick Combat Hall, and you'll
be fine.
Regardless of the level, whenever Weavel goes into alt, always kill the turret
first, before Weavel can pick it up again. Just strafe around it, the
Battlehammer isn't that fast. When you kill the turret, Weavel will have 1
health left, so go and kill him before he gets energy.
Other than that, Weavel shouldn't be too hard.
Part 7. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I unlock Kanden?
A: You don't, he's already in your roster to begin with.
Q: Why did you decide to write a Kanden FAQ?
A: Because I think he's one of the most underrated and under-used characters
in the game. And I'm sick of seeing Sylux and Trace in every match, so I
switched to something different.
Q: Kanden suxx!!
A: That's not a question.
Q: Are these real questions?
A: No, I just made them up. Bwahahahah!
Q: I was facing some guy (that was Spire) in Alinos Gateway, and he hid behind
the glitchy rock. I can't do anything!! Can you help?
A: If they stay inside the rock sniping at you, just disconnect. But eventually
they'll have to come out for ammo, so block the corner that they use to get
in the rock.
Eli Taylor told me that "you can shoot through the rock if you're close. Im
guessing the best thing to do would be to use the charged up volt shot
because it homes. Although you'd need to be far enough for it to home so you
should use the top ledge." Thanks Eli Taylor!
Q: What's your email address?
A: Sorry, but I took it out. I'm getting too much mail, and only a few of them
were actually regarding adding new things in the FAQ. Most of it was stuff
that was already answered here somewhere, and the rest was asking if I could
be the person's friend. So for now, I won't be putting my email here until
I die. If you desperately need to talk to me, talk to me on the MPH boards
on Gamefaqs. If you don't have a Gamefaqs account, then too bad. I'm sorry,
but those useless emails are becoming annoying. And by the way, no, I don't
have AIM or Yahoo, and even though I do have MSN, I only add people I know
in real life. Sorry about that.
UPDATE: Since it's been a while since I've updated this FAQ, I've decided
to put my email back in here. If you want to contact me for
questions regarding the FAQ in question (as in, no game-related
questions,) please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: What's your friend code info and stuff?
A: Okay, I took out my friend code because I'm getting a lot of people asking
me to add them, so no more friends that I don't know, okay? And by the way,
if you emailed me and asked if I could add you, and I don't see you online
for a while, I'll delete you, since I need all the space I can get in my
friend list. Sorry.
UPDATE: Well, I lost my cartridge of this game, so even if I wanted to add
you, I can't. =( I'll miss you, MPH... You've been good to me.
Q: How good are you?
A: Not good enough.

San Francisco's Melky Cabrera celebrated and Atlanta's Chipper Jones gave him a thumbs down.
Cabrera gave a crotch chop to the Atlanta fans several times last night, including after hitting a home run and then again after making a catch.
When teammate Gregor Blanco hit a three-run home run in the 11th inning with Cabrera on base, the former Brave again did the gesture while celebrating near home plate.
Jones didn't take too kindly to Cabrera's continued antics.
"That's Melky, and that's why he's not here anymore," Jones said after the game on CSN Bay Area. "He got a little happy when I think (Gregor) Blanco hit the home run. That won't be forgotten."
Here is the video of Cabrera celebrating.

The Buenafe family: Rev. Mark Buenafe, wife Norms, and sons Marick, 8, and Mahal, 3.
Mark has been a pastor for nine years and the associate pastor at First United Methodist Church since July 2001. Norms is a substitute teacher for Lodi Unified School District, teaching kindergarten through eighth grade.
Marick is a third-grader at Vinewood Elementary School. He recently scored high enough on district tests for the Lodi Unified School District's Gifted And Talented Program.
"He is so proud," Norms said.
Mahal is a preschooler at Little Methodist Preschool.
The family's last name means "good faith" in Spanish, which has been a running joke among those who know them.
"We always get comments. 'What a name for a pastor, like our local dentist named, Dr. Gums,' " Norms said.
How they met: The couple are college sweethearts.
Mark was born and raised on the East Coast but went to high school and college in the Philippines. Norms was born and raised in the Philippines, which is where they met their senior year in high school. They both enrolled at Philippine Christian University in Manila and began dating.
Mark moved back to the United States in 1983 to pursue his seminary studies. Norms came to Chicago to be a presenter at a seminar for Teacher's of English as a second language and they were reunited. What she didn't know was that Mark was planning on proposing to her, and he did at the top of the Sears Tower.
They were married in the Philippines, Norms said because the husband has to pay for the ceremony there. The couple have been married for 13 years.
Family activities: "We are very musical," Norms said. She and Mark play the guitar, Marick plays the piano and Mahal likes to sing. The family also likes to go to museums and zoos.
Their favorite pastime is going to playgrounds. "Of all the towns we see, Lodi has a lot of playgrounds, nice new playgrounds," Norms said. "The boys enjoy playing there. That makes our family time very special, fun and most of all free."
Family Traditions: The family takes a lot of pictures, a tradition handed down from Mark's grandfather. Norms keeps all of the family pictures in "fancy scrapbooks."
She said people know they can't get out of their house without taking pictures. "We usually have out the camera all the time," she adds.
Another tradition is that the family always makes sure they sit down together for their meals. "That is our family time," she said.
Best cook: "I am the cook," Norms said. Their favorite meal is a Filipino dish called sinigang, which is a broth soup with meat or fish and vegetables eaten with white rice.
Do you have a family ancestor of note? Mark's father, Mamerto Buenafe Jr., was a musician, who composed the theme for Manila Central University in the Philippines.
Was there a life changing event in your life? Norms' mother passed away a few years back from liver cancer. She said losing her mother taught her to enjoy her family.
"I learned to enjoy the moment, seize the moment. To spend time with your loved ones," she said.
She said that being pregnant with Mahal at the time was tough, because they were dealing with losing a life yet looking forward to a new life.
What keeps your family close? She said their faith in God in what bonds the family. "Our relationship with Jesus Christ. Because he loves us we know how to love," Norms said.
They also say that keeping things in the family consistent is important. The family moves around a lot because of Mark's occupation, which doesn't leave much stability. The family has lived in Redwood City, Lake Isabella, and Riverdale to name a few.
However, Norms said because they have kept consistency in their relationships, the kids have been able to handle it better.
Best family feature of Lodi: The community. "We fell in love with Lodi. It still has a small town atmosphere yet has a lot of services to offer," Norms said. "It's very family oriented."
They also enjoy how people in the area maintain their yards and keep them looking beautiful.
Families come in all shapes and sizes. To nominate a family, even your own, for our Family Portrait series, call Deanne Lowenstein, panorama editor, at 369-7035, or e-mail email@example.com.

American Legion OKs pro baseball agreement
Published Thursday, January 17, 2008
Members of American Legion Post 202 last night voted to approve an agreement that sets forth terms of use for a proposed $5 million multiuse baseball stadium for the Mid-Missouri Mavericks minor-league baseball team.
Legion members originally were scheduled to vote on the agreement with the Mavericks' owner, Columbia Professional Baseball, in December, but bad weather delayed the vote until last night.
Dale Roberts, judge advocate for the legion, said the final vote was 61-40 in favor of the agreement. "We had 101 people there, which is one of the biggest turnouts we've had in decades," Roberts said.
In 2000, the legion donated the almost 20-acre American Legion Park to the city of Columbia. In return, the legion reserved the right to review plans for the land to ensure its future use offers a place for family and community activities.
Under the agreement approved last night, the American Legion will receive revenue for renting its meeting hall for events, and Columbia Professional Baseball will guarantee the legion a minimum of $50,000 in annual income as well as approximately $250,000 for renovations for the hall, which the legion will continue to own and maintain.
Legion Commander Alan Wolfe said the agreement will provide the legion with the resources to continue its mission to serve the community and its fellow veterans.
"I'm very pleased," Wolfe said. "It's a win-win situation for us and the community."
With the vote, negotiations can now begin between the city and United League Baseball, parent company of Columbia Professional Baseball, but there is no word on when those talks will begin.
Tony St. Romaine, an assistant city manager familiar with the negoiations, could not be reached for comment this morning.
If approved, the stadium will be the eighth in the country owned and operated by United League Baseball and will offer a multiuse facility with artificial turf that in addition to a baseball field also can be converted to accommodate softball, soccer, Little League baseball and Pop Warner football.
United CEO Brad Wendt could not be reached for comment.

so give the gift you know can't fail
(Post title is a secret-handshake shout-out to all the Oklahomans out there. Boomer Sooner!)
This vendor / guest / giveaway post was supposed to go up yesterday, but I had to take an unexpected sick day – so here it is finally, a day late – but definitely not a dollar short! Welcome Kotori Photo Jewelry to Paperie!
Hello! My name is Tonya Dalton, and I'm the owner of Kotori Photo Jewelry. I'm a busy mom, like many of you, but creating jewelry for photographers has become my passion. I have a true appreciation for the art of photography – which is why our jewelry focuses all the attention on the images you create. All of our pieces are completely handmade and totally customizable so your clients can mix and match items to create their own unique piece.
We work exclusively with photographers, so everything we make, every process we create is made with you in mind. From the design of the jewelry to the marketing pieces we create for you, we focus solely on photographers.
Most people think of photo jewelry as just another add on to their offerings, but it can be a powerful marketing tool as well. Unlike your traditional prints and albums which sit beautifully inside a clients home, photo jewelry walks around with your clients. It's like a little walking billboard of your work that goes to the local play group, grocery stores, everywhere. And when people ask about the jewelry, and believe me they do, they will hear your studios' name. It's a great referral program.
Many of our partners do mark up the jewelry significantly to generate additional revenue, but we have some who use it as one of their key marketing tools, just marking it up slightly or even giving it away. They incorporate our jewelry into their packages and even use it as a thank you gift.
One photographer gives every bride she shoots one of our charm bracelets with an image from their engagement session to signify the start of their new life. In the future, when that bride has children and wants newborn or family portraits, she'll go back to the photographer so she can add her growing family to her original bracelet. This can create a strong returning customer base.
Today we'd love to give away studio packages to 2 different winners. One will win our Virtual Studio Package and one will win our Studio Package Lite.
Both come with our welcome kit, brochures, discount code and, best of all, our editable images. These files we've created make it easy for you to simulate how our jewelry will look with your own photography for your marketing materials, blog or web site. The Studio Package Lite also comes with two samples so you can see and touch the pieces with your images and show them to your clients.
Good Luck!

Chingford sprinter Omololu Abiodun believes he is running as well as ever as he prepares for this week's BUCS Gatorade Nationals in Sheffield.
The 21-year-old heads into the championships, which start tomorrow (Friday) on the back of a blistering start to the season which saw him crowned South of England 200m champion last month.
But Abiodun wasn't done there, setting a new personal best over the same distance at last weekend's British Indoor Championships as he crossed the finish line in his heat in 21.46 seconds.
And the University of East London student has set himself the target of running even quicker as he returns to Sheffield in a bid to bring home the gold in preparation for the outdoor season.
"I'm really, really looking forward to the BUCS Gatorade Nationals," said Abiodun, who finished the British Indoor Championships 200m final in fourth. "It's been a brilliant start to the season.
"One of the reasons why I did the indoor trials was so I could prepare for BUCS. I knew I was in shape but I needed to put it into practise.
"Training has been going really well. Since September I've been training really hard, working six days a week and testing myself in training as well which is really helping.
"I know I'm probably going to be one of the favourites at the championships but there are six people in the race so we'll have to see what happens. I want to come home with a medal, preferably a gold one.
"I want to run between 21.2 and 20.9 indoor so it gives me a greater view of what I'm going to do outdoors. I've set my target really high so I know if I get close to it then I'm on track.
"My strength and conditioning coaches have been putting in the work to help me get stronger and overcome all the weaknesses I had in my hamstrings.
"I now don't have niggles in my hamstrings which is a big help to my sprinting and I'm running bang on perfect at the moment."
Abiodun is confident his university team can hold their own at the competition, with the sprinters targeting a top-three place in all events.
And the Woodford Green Athletics Club with Essex Ladies runner has his sights set beyond the Championships, with spots on the England Commonwealth Games team and Team GB European Championships squad up for grabs.
"I want to build on what I did two years ago," Abiodun added. "When I started my career I was running 21.7 indoor and I have been trying to bring my times down so I can get into the Great Britain and England squads so I can compete for my country.
"I've set myself the target this season of giving myself a great chance of getting into the Commonwealth Games squad and qualifying for the relay team for England.
"If I don't get in the Commonwealths then hopefully I get in the squad for the European Championships."

By MALCOLM MORAN, Special to the New York Times
Published: March 14, 1987
TUCSON, Ariz., March 13— The most successful basketball season in the six-year Division I history of Marist College tonight ended the way it began - in frustration.
At the start of the season, the suspension by the National Collegiate Athletic Association of three of Marist's foreign players - including Rik Smits, the 7-foot-3-inch junior center from Holland - turned the Red Foxes into an ordinary team.
The suspensions were overturned and Marist produced a school-record 14-game winning streak. But tonight, Smits was forced to spend much of the game on the bench because of foul problems that existed throughout the 93-68 loss to Pitt in the first round of the N.C.A.A. tournament.
Marist (20-10), the winner of the E.C.A.C. Metro Conference tournament and 14th-seeded team in the region, was never a serious challenge for third-seeded Pitt from the Big East.
The Panthers advanced to a second-round game Sunday against Oklahoma or Tulsa, which will follow the match between Iowa and Texas-El Paso, first-round winners in games here this afternoon. On Saturday, Nevada-Las Vegas will play Kansas State, and Wyoming will play U.C.L.A. in Salt Lake City.
Smits scored 16 points - 4 below his average - and was conspicuous by his foul-induced absence late in the first half and midway through the second, when the Panthers (25-7) ran to the two spurts that put them in control.
''I really feel a little empty,'' said Dave Magarity, the Marist coach. ''Our best team wasn't on the floor.'' The Pitt plan was clearly to use its inside game to create problems for Marist. ''It wasn't that they took it at us,'' Smits said. ''The first foul was just a dumb foul. I don't know what I did on the second foul.''
Smits averaged 8.5 rebounds per game in his junior season, but had just two tonight. He made eight of nine shots but attempted just one in the first half. His frustration obscured the fact that Marist had achieved two major goals before the end of what had begun as a troubling season.
Tonight, Smits just quietly remembered the goal that was not met. ''The goal that didn't come true,'' he said, ''was to win a game in the N.C.A.A. tournament.''
Leading Pitt were Demetreus Gore and Charles Smith, with 22 points each.
Smits was charged with two fouls in the first 6 minutes 50 seconds. Rudy Bourgarel, the 7-foot sophomore, went to the bench with three fouls with 10:42 to go in the half.
Then Smits was charged with a third foul as he backed into Smith, Pitt's 6-10 junior center, with 8:22 to go in the half. Smits, who led the Foxes with an average of 20.4 points this season, played just nine minutes in the half and scored just 2 points.
Smith's foul shots gave the Panthers a 19-12 lead. And without Smits's height underneath, the Panthers pulled away. They outrebounded Marist, 22-10, in the half. And they outscored Marist, 24-9, in the final 10 minutes of the period.
With Smits back for the start of the second half, the Foxes cut their deficit from 18 to 9 on Smits's short jumper from the left baseline with 11:06 to go.
But that was as close as Marist came. Smits went to the bench with a fourth foul 20 seconds later, allowing the Panthers to build a 13-4 run -punctuated by a windmill jam by Jerome Lane, the 6-6 sophomore - to return its lead to 18. Texas-El Paso 98 Arizona 91 Hernell Jackson scored 9 points in overtime, including a 3-point basket that put Texas-El Paso ahead and a steal and layup that extended the lead.
The Miners (25-6), who overcame severe foul problems and a boisterous near-capacity crowd of 12,885 at McKale Center on the Arizona campus, advanced to a second-round game Sunday against Iowa.
Chris Blocker, a 6-5 substitute swingman, forced the overtime when he pushed the ball up the floor in the final seconds and made a 19-foot jump shot to tie the score at 79 with one second to go.
The Miners took control in the overtime despite having had four players foul out of the game late in the second half, including Quintan Gates, a 6-7 senior swingman who led U.T.E.P. with 26 points. Arizona made just two baskets in the last 10 minutes of regulation time. But by making 16 free throws in that same span, the Wildcats seemed to have enough points to win.
Arizona (18-12) took a 5-point lead with 50 seconds to go in the second half. The Wildcats were playing on their home floor despite being the 10th-seeded team in the region -three spots beneath the Miners -with 11 losses going into the tournament. Iowa 99, Santa Clara 76
Tom Davis, the former Boston College coach who came to Iowa this season from Stanford, had warned his team not to take Santa Clara too lightly. The 15th-seeded Broncos (18-14), winners of the West Coast Athletic Conference tournament, took a 4-0 lead against the second-seeded Hawkeyes.
But Iowa (28-4) extended its press to fluster the Broncos during a 22-0 run over the next 5:11 to take control. Roy Marble, the 6-5 sophomore forward, had 8 of his 16 points during the stretch, and Kevin Gamble, the 6-6 senior swingman, scored 6 of his 18 points. Ten players scored in the first half for the Hawkeyes, who led by 31 on the way to a 51-22 lead.

|From Singapore we headed up the Malacca Strait stopping briefly at Pulau Pisang, 65 miles from Singapore, then continued to Pulau (meaning "Island") Besar the following day.
Pulau Besar, Water Islands.
November 11
We anchored at a beautiful quiet spot in front of a tiny beach. Tony from Tactical Directions had us all over to his boat to celebrate our 16 Anniversary (Sept 10). We had a great potluck party
Leaving the anchorage from Pulau Besar, we rounded the island, surprised to see an impressive skyline of high rises and large buildings of Melaka. It was so incongruous to the serene bay we had just emerged from.
The Malacca Straits were a challenge to endure, with floating debris and garbage, long fish nets everywhere, logs, muddy waters and numerous fish boats, ships and cruise liners everywhere. But the hype about piracy was really not an issue. We did not hear of any incidents and we did not experience any unusual activity. In fact, there was a notable presence of military ships throughout the Straits and we could hear them contacting merchant vessels to confirm their credentials.
There is NO wind in Malaysia! We motored everywhere, often against current. We used an enormous amount of diesel during our passages but at least the waters were usually relatively flat. The only absolute was the predictable violent afternoon thunderstorms packed with hazardous lightening accompanied by torrential rains. We got in the habit of putting our electronics in the oven each afternoon in preparation for the onslaught.
Malaysia was a surprise to us. We did not expect it to be so developed and modern. There is a wide mix of cultures here but we did not find the people nearly as friendly as in Indonesia.
PORT DICKSON Admiral Marina
Nov 12-14
We arrived at Port Dickson Admiral Marina one day after all the scheduled activities for the Rally participants so as we were pulling into the marina, most of the boats were vacating to move north and we waved hello-goodbye in passing.
We were pleased to find the marina very upscale and modern. The slips were new, the dock clean and the resort included a swimming pool, always a bonus!
We spent the next days getting settled, cleaning the boats and making a quick trip to town by taxi. Port Dickson is a small centre, with rather conventional streets and storefronts, but we found an ATM, a phone card centre, a grocery store and a restaurant for lunch. We were reminded of the cleanliness of Singapore compared to its neighbors, Indonesia and Malaysia. It was difficult to adjust to the smell of garbage in the sewers alongside the streets and wondered about eating at the restaurants beside the road.
It was very hot and humid, almost impossible to sleep at night even with our little table fan plugged into the dock and situated inches from my face in bed.
MELAKA (Melacca)
Nov 15-16 Our group took 2 taxis to Melaka where we planned to stay overnight and explore the fascinating old trading port. We left the Marina early and so our rumbling tummies prompted a stop at a roadside cafe for breakfast.
Gord thought he would keep it simple and order an omelet. He always says that it's hard to screw up an egg! Well it turned out that they had no idea what an omelet was and something was lost in translation between us, our driver and the cook, because out of the kitchen came a single boiled egg on a plate. However when Gord cracked it the running innards quickly squirted out....it was just barely warmed!
So he tried again, explaining that the egg needed to be cooked without the shell. He eventually settled for a version of fried egg! The driver ate the original boiled egg and seemed to really enjoy it!
Upon arriving in Melaka an hour later, we drove down narrow streets into the oldest section of town where we checked into the Baba Hotel. The Baba Hotel was the location where "Entrapment" was filmed and it was interesting to recognize many of the sets that were used in the movie.
The buildings surrounding the hotel were hundreds of years old and we did not see any indication of the highrise shoreline that we spotted coming from Water Islands.
Melaka is known for its history, museums (which are surprisingly numerous!), and the unique Baba-Nyonya community, descendants of the original Chinese settlers who married Malays. The old town reflects the Portuguese, British and Dutch era in its architecture. Hundreds of small shops and eateries line the narrow streets with no sidewalks.
Shophouses were interspersed with temples, shrines and mosques, each with amazingly intricate decor of carved stone, inlaid gold, elaborately engraved pillars and fine craftsmanship.
|We spent the first day shopping and exploring the city, wandering up and down the quaint cracked streets, each with its own cultural personality and charm.
The windmill in Dutch Square with beautiful gardens as seen from the windows of the Art Gallery. Overlooking the main square is Melaka's Christ Church landmark.
Jonkers Street (China Town) is best known for shopping treasures
A group of Muslin girls wanted to take OUR photo
Trishaws decorated with flowers will take you anywhere
We visited the Maritime Museum, housed in a replica of the Portuguese galleon which sank off Melaka.
Later we met for lunch for scrumptious Malay food.
Kongsi (Clan Temples)
As we walked down the sidestreets, clouds of incense billowed out of an abundance of striking Chinese clan temples, each with an extravagant array of carved colorful mythical figures made from porcelain and glass reflecting Anglo-Indian design. Red and Gold were always the primary colors, accented by elaborately engraved showcases of lacquer work in the form of porticoes and pillars. .
We had met an ex-pat from New Zealand who, along with his Malaysian wife, operated a Jazz Bar in Melaka. He offered to open the bar up for us at 10:30 that evening so after dinner we joined a few locals and had a fun night of partying and dancing.
We found many street bars and frequented a number of them after supper.
Our new friend jumped from piano to keyboard to guitar and accompanied his wife singing. Becky and I were recruited for backup.
|Because Annie would not partake in the backup chorus, she was subjected to a test of suitors.
|First, Liam does his best to win her heart
|Gord thinks a dance will do the trick
|But Tony gets a ribbon for going on his knees!
|Nov 16 Breakfast together next to Hotel
|A walk along the river that runs through Melaka
|ramshackle housing along the river banks
|Melaka Tree
|Business is slow!
|We all visited the Cheng Ho Cultural Museum (1421 Museum) and our guided tour revealed much history and culture of Melaka 600 years ago. The museum occupies the original government depot built by Admiral Cheng Ho, the Ming Grand Eunuch. His fleet of several hundred ships visited 33 countries in the Pacific and Indian Ocean over half a century before Columbus discovered America.
Included in the interactive exhibits was a puppet show
|Once again, Gord and I took the opportunity to pray for safe passages and fair winds.
|.From the top of the museum there was a great view of Melaka, old and new intermingled.
Trishaws for Transport
Everywhere were colorfully decorated trishaws, overloaded with flowers, ornaments and lights. Most had a bank of batteries that supplied the power for the lights, sirens, horns and music.
We organized 2 trishaw to tour around the city. Ours was pedaled by an 80 year old man, with sticks for arms and toothpicks for legs. He had been operating his rickshaw for over 30 years. At 18, he worked his trishaw during the Japanese occupation of Melaka!
There were several spots, although flat, where his struggle to keep the bike moving was proving fruitless, so Gord got off and pushed!
|We slowly traversed the streets of downtown Melaka and ended up in the oldest part of the city where we stopped at the Hang Li Ph Well which was once the main source of water for the town.
Traditional Homes
A short walk across a bridge took us into a rather traditional neighborhood with beautifully kept decorative houses surrounded by fabulous gardens.
We were invited into one of the homes that was furnished with original artifacts, photos and furniture.
Vividly patterned and decorated example of local tradition
We all took the opportunity to bang the gong 3 times for good luck!
|After a bit of a climb for our Trishaw, we reached St Peters Church, the oldest functioning Catholic Church in Malaysia.
|Throughout Melaka were buildings displaying the ornate pagoda type decorated rooftops.
|Our Trishaw took us to a part of Melaka where the street was lined with Peranakan homes. Beautifully updated and restored colonial buildings, these buildings now house hostels and shops. The lavish 19th century original fine Chinese decor still remains.
Indian Table-top Lunch
After our tour, we were dropped at an Indian restaurant for lunch. There were many locals eating on basic wooden tables with a list of food items written on the wall.
We were shown to a table and banana leaf "placemats" were put in front of each of us. Then a pot full of rice appeared and a mound was scooped by hand onto each leaf. This was followed by some sort of greenish creamed vegetable, a corn/soy mix (I think) and an array of other items, all topped with a ladle of Dahl Soup. Some curried chicken, chopped complete with bones, was added to the pile of food.
We all wondered how we should eat this mountain of food. There were no eating utensils, but worse, no napkins! We all decided just to order roti so we could use it as a scoop and that worked great.
The food was good and a great experience too!
After a full day of sightseeing we
were ready to return to Port Dickson so arranged a taxi back to
the boats.
Nov 18 Stardust and ourselves took a taxi to a nearby town where we boarded a bus to Kuala Lumpur, the sprawling, chaotic modern capitol city of Malaysia.
KL is a modern dynamic cosmopolitan city. Its architectural heritage includes Moorish styled edifices, colonial buildings and old shop houses, mixed among the new modern condominiums and high office buildings. Multi-racial communities occupy the busy streets.
We had booked a room in the heart of Chinatown, a short hop from the bus station. The room was basic but had a shower and a/c for $30 Cnd and the location could not have been better.
We walked all over town, visiting Central Market, an art deco style shopping complex, as well as Chinatown. We met up with Annie who had bussed form Klang to meet us and we window shopped at some of the more exclusive stores. Gord got prescription sunglasses for the equivalent of $100 Cnd (300 ringet) and I bought presents for everyone to give when I return to Canada.
|The highlight of KL is the Night Markets of Chinatown. AT 5 pm, the main street is transformed and a huge array of shoes, purses, sunglasses, T-shirts, jewelry and of course, the Rolex knockoffs, appear from nowhere as the hawkers set up their temporary stalls, crammed together along narrow aisles packed with people looking for a deal. But you have to haggle hard. These guys are pros, and tough. But I did manage to get some good deals and it was really fun.
Petronas Twin Towers
Nov 19 We checked out of the hotel early to stand in queue for tickets to see the Petronas Towers, the impressive KL landmark that towers over the city's skyline. We had an hour and a half wait but managed to be included in the first group of visitors in front of a line of hundreds of others who had not got up so early!
|Inside the impressive structure structure, a luxury shopping complex houses the top designer labels, names like Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Versace, Armani, and many more.
|Its architecture is representative of the country's dominant cultures - the Malay, Chinese and Indian.
KL Radio Tower
Next stop, a visit to the KL Radio Tower, one of the highest free standing structures in the world. This sighting involved an entrance fee but it included a personal MP4 description of all the buildings, which encompassed 360 degrees so we got a great overview of the city from that perspective.
For a change of scenery, we took the train back to Port Dickson, which proved to be a mistake. The scenery was not much more impressive, the seats were hard, the cars packed, and the commuter made stops every 2 minutes all the way to the end of the line so the trip was long and uncomfortable (and more expensive than the express bus).
The sky opened up just as we returned to the boats, with the usual display of vivid lightning and a heavy downpour.
Nov. 20 We left Port Dickson deciding to bypass Port Klang and the Selangor Yacht Club because we heard that the water was polluted and shallow. Instead, we made way for Pulau Pankor.

The plans include refurbished toilets, improved security and CCTV equipment, and better car parking at all its key stations along the East Coast Main Line.
Stations included in the programme are Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Berwick, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark North Gate, Doncaster and Wakefield.
Christopher Garnett, GNER chief executive, said: "We have already committed £100m to increase train services, rebuild and re-engineer our trains and improve passenger information.
Customer information
"I'm sure the planned programme of customer service improvements at key stations along our route will be welcomed by our passengers."
Derek Langslow, chairman of the Rail Passenger Committee for eastern England, said: "Stations are part of the fabric of Britain's railway and the gateway to travel by rail.
"It is particularly pleasing that passengers will benefit from improved customer information and security at the stations managed by GNER."
The station improvements are due to be completed by January 2005.
The company is spending £30m to redesign and rebuild the interiors of all 302 carriages in its electric 225 train fleet.
The project is the largest of its kind in the UK and GNER's biggest single investment since starting services in 1996.
GNER operates 122 trains a day along the East Coast Main Line between Scotland, the north-east of England, Yorkshire, the East Midlands and London, carrying more than 14 million passengers a year.

Generate significant thermal and electrical savings onsite with
clean and economical power production.
Free Solar Analysis: Request Yours
Combined Heat & Power (CHP) or Cogeneration is the simultaneous onsite generation of both electricity and heat from a single fuel source, typically natural gas. This simultaneous generation from a single fuel source makes CHP systems highly efficient compared to conventional power generation.
A basic CHP system operates by fueling either a reciprocating or turbine driven generator set with natural gas. Electricity is produced by this process similar to standard generators. The difference is that CHP systems capture the waste heat that is normally exhausted to the atmosphere and utilizes it onsite for thermal processes. This captured thermal energy is used onsite for process steam, process hot water, dehumidification, pool water heating, domestic hot water and/or space heating. Space cooling, process chilling and refrigeration are also available through absorption chilling methods.
There are many reasons why now is a great time for CHP. Dynamic Energy can provide multiple financing options including:
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) provides the host customer power and heat at a discounted rate, with no capital requirement. A third party investor owns the CHP system and enters into a long term power contract with the host. PPAs provide the following benefits to host customers:
An operating lease provides the host of the system with monthly lease payments as well as ownership of the project's state incentives and generated electricity. A third party investor owns the CHP system and receives all of the tax incentives from the project. An operating lease provides the following benefits to customers:

Early in March 2009, four international sustainable building organizations signed an agreement to develop a common metric for measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in new homes and other buildings. The organizations—BREEAM, a program of United Kingdom-based BRE Trust and BRE Global; the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC); the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA); and the UK Green Building Council—will form a working group to develop the CO2 emissions metrics and will align their respective green building rating tools—including USGBC's LEED and GBCA's Green Star programs—to provide consistency in measurement and reporting.
With the world's focus on sustainability shifting more toward reducing CO2 emissions from buildings, demand for a universal method for measuring emissions and for greater consistency and comparability among the many green building rating systems in operation has been growing. The allied organizations seek to achieve this goal.
"The Memorandum of Understanding sets the stage for true progress by focusing on performance that is measurable and verifiable," said USGBC's president and CEO, Rick Fedrizzi. "As we work to alleviate the role buildings play in climate change—nearly 39 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States—it's vital that we are able to measure carbon emissions in a consistent, reliable way."

You hear more people using the words "mixed-race" than "half-caste" here.
Later on I let it go for a tenth of its value to a Dutch half-caste.
Then the half-caste unfolded his plan to Palmer and his wife.
Among these was a half-caste, the son of a very prominent white official.
The half-caste peaked and socketed his oar, and looked at the officer.
He started forward half involuntarily when the Portuguese half-caste kicked her.
The half-caste smiled and nodded acquiescence as he folded up the money.
I had given notice to one of the Melbourne police as he came aboard, and he arrested the half-caste, known as Warrigal.
In that case," replied the half-caste, "I can return to the coast without you.
The chief item on the programme was the "haka," or ancient Maori war dance, which was performed by four half-caste Maori youths.
