PC Fair I 2010
The first edition of PC Fair 2010 held @ KL Convention Centre recently draw a huge crowd as the economy recovered. Many buyers are willing to spend money on ICT and related gadget to catch up latest trend and requirements. It's a good place for technology hunting as well as for social purpose (meet pretty babes promoter).
PC Fair I 2010
16 – 18 April 2010
I'd prepare a shopping list before continue with my support to PC Fair. I'm still support those promoters especially the young, tall and fair skin babes by appreciate their presence. So I can assured that you won't out from this fair without any pictures of them. Here there are …
Professional photographer normally have a complete set with extra lens and flash gun. They're able to adjust to the situation and captures the best details of those babes. Mine still with my original kit set of DSLR. The results are decent photos with decent look. Hope you enjoy looking these.
Babe from online game booth … portraying some characters
Babe from AntiVir booth … just have a glimpse
Babe from Kaspersky … never fought less to outshine [by DarkOne]
Babe from Hibikii …fair skin [by DarkOne]
Kingston babe … barbie look alike [by DarkOne]
Babe from … some where booth [by DarkOne]
Finally, a choice from DeXXy.Net Babe. Last edition, it was won by AntiVir babes.
The first edition of the year … fall to Sony Babe
Ok, let's come back to my shopping list now. I managed to explore the fair for 2 days during the weekend. I drive and park at KLCC car park which cost me RM9.20 & RM4.00 for few hours. If you plan to walk for half a day, better park somewhere else (per day parking) or public transport. Unless you plan to purchase a big bulk printer or accessories.
My hunting & purchased list:
1) Samsung G2 500GB 2.5', RM260
2) DSLR Lens 50mm, f1.8 asking price RM380 (KIV)
3) Maxis Broadband, RM48 monthly
4) SAN Disk USB Drive 4GB, RM29 (it was a birthday gift by DarkOne)
5) GPS WayWay (Papago preloaded), RM779
Broadband war as usual with Maxis wasn't so aggressive with their so called lowest RM48 per month (with free modem) campaign. Due to this, many attracted to this offer compare to other noisy and loud yelling Streamyx, P1, Celcom and Amax. Digi was offering their best short term discount (6 months) and less aggressive. I've not been irked by these broadband war because I'm looking for one.
This round, I went back with full load on hands, for myself, not for friends.
Let's see below:
Samsung G2 2.5' 500GB
My first non-clone hard disk from well budget branded Samsung @ RM260 only. One can buy separate without casing (clone type) @ RM245, but less value if I get the casing separately, which will cost me roughly RM40. A great deal anyway, a small compact size is fit into pocket very well and quite durable.
FYI, here are my previous purchase of all 2.5' hard disk (collections):
2005 – Samsung 60GB @ RM 360 (no case, sold)
2006 – Western Digital 120GB @ RM 370 (no case, spoilt)
2008 – Western Digital 250GB @ RM 299 (no case, sold)
2009 – Western Digital 320GB @ RM 208 (no case, in use)
2010 – Samsung G2 500GB @ RM 260 (with case, in use)
My next target will be 1TB (will wait)
Maxis Broadband
Lowest monthly fees is RM48 which provide 1.5 GB of data transfer. Opted this for external usage and non-download commitment. It's very useful to take out to anywhere you go to get connected. Previously I used RM88 (from Digi) with 10GB of data transfer. Too costly for fair usage. Not mine actually.
I'm still maintain my lovable fixed line Streamyx 1Mbps line @ RM75 for unlimited download.
SanDisk Cruzer Blade USB Drive (4GB)
Unexpected gift from DarkOne at last minute shopping. Indeed, he know my shopping list earlier on and insisted to buy me this small gift to me. Very nice. He got himself one as well. When I look back since in the past, we always purchase many identical stuff, such as mouse, earphone, hard disk, camera and etc. Our taste is quite similar when comes to technology wise.
My top wanted gadget of the year is always a Slim and Sleek GPS device with 4.3" screen. It's preloaded with Papago! navigation software. The device is full features with touch screen, 3D navigation, multi-language support, multimedia player, FM transmitter, games, removable battery, micro-SD slot and powered by ARM II CPU 500MHz.
I couldn't find any better GPS when they come with full maps of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand and Indonesia. Definitely a add-on value for my upcoming trip to Indonesia and Thailand next year.

I love getting egg rolls when I go out for Chinese* food. Especially at my all-time favorite restaurant that I've been going to since I was a little egg roll myself, Pago-Pago in Milford, MA.
My sister was a fan of the La Choy egg rolls when we were teenagers, realising we didn't have to listen to my pseudo-kosher dad and we could eat whatever we wanted. Whenever we ate something like this he'd shake his head and say "all those years of Hebrew school down the drain". Somehow the guilt never stuck with that one.
Michelina produces more Italian style frozen food but for some reason she decided to don a pointy straw hat and take a swing at making egg rolls.
La Choy by the way, makes one the best "Glad there's only one of" products, which is Chow Mein in a can and I will get to that eventually.
(*I just want to say I am very well aware that American-Chinese food is not what you get when you go to China and I like it for what it is).
These egg rolls are rectangle shaped, with a well proportioned amount of dough even though they're not filled as much as what is shown on the package. I thought these were a little peppery tasting and neither of us detected ant shrimp flavor. Ethan said the cabbage took over all flavors and in general tasted very "unfresh". This picture almost looks like it's sticking it's tounge out.
Ethan added googly eyes to make it more clear:
La Choy:
These are a little smaller and have a more round shape. Ethan said these are more eastern convincing than Michelina's. Although we could definitely taste the shrimp more in these they were a little too "briney". The dough I felt was a little too thick and could have had a little better dough-to-filling ratio.
Wrap up:
No thanks. Ethan isn't an egg roll fan anyway so he didn't care for either but if he HAD to choose he'd go with La Choy. I thought I would really like one of these more than the other but I didn't. I guess I'd agree with Ethan and say that La Choy at least had some flavor but it just left me wanting a "real" egg roll.

Pontins – do you want to go there on holiday now?
Anyone watch Watchdog tonight?
You know the programme you 'cannot afford to miss'. BBC 1 – Thursday?
If you are in business and you want to know anything about handling a negative story, you must tune in.
Tonught was a classic. Under the spotlight this time was Pontins holidays in general but the Somerset site at Brean Down in particular.
On the menu were stained bed clothes (yes,everything), mould, human hair in places which should have seen disinfectant and dusters.
All captured in stills and video, as well as the filming by the team featuring the alternative seven dwarves – Stinky, Grimy and Mouldy to name three.
Back to the studio with a woman representing the new owner Britannic Holidays.
Then followed a master class in how to make your company look as amateur and second class as possible. Even worse, how to make your business sector look awful.
Tip One – immediately be confrontational, especially to a presenter like Anne Robinson and try to make her look small. This makes Miss Robinson even more determined to undermine you.
Tip Two – use the tired excuse that you had 50 million satisfied customers and only ten had complained to Watchdog. Pointless. We aren't going to hear from the satisfied customers. All customers should be satisfied, that should matter. Remember the adage 'the customer is always right'? Well, when they've got photographs and video to support their case, they are right.
Tip Three – shout out and sound as if you are about to cry, quickly followed up by a suggestion that 'we offer affordable British holidays'. Sadly, the message we hear therefore is that British holiday makers who are on a budget should expect poor standards. Shut up you whinging Brits with little money and taste…
Media training clearly went amiss here. If indeed any had taken place.
Reading between the lines, I suspect that this lady is passionate about upgrading Pontins – it needs it!
But by taking it personally and trying to criticise Watchdog for covering the story, her message was completely lost and she spent valuable airtime trying to score points off Anne Robinson and the Watchdog team.
How would you have handled it if you had been Mrs Pontins in the hotseat? Would you have behaved differently. Do let me know……(I'll share my advice if you are good enough to comment).

FILTH and smut are absolutely fine in Jamie Land, in fact they are more than welcome – but The Happytime Murders woefully misses the mark.
It's the equivalent of a sniggering teenager laughing at some boobs and drawing a penis on a steamed window.
This Brian Henson-directed movie takes us to a version of Los Angeles where puppets and humans live side by side in perfect disharmony.
Puppets are treated like second-class citizens and there is a whole racism subtext being shoved down our throats like corn in a goose.
Puppet Phil Philips (voiced by Bill Barretta) is a cantankerous private investigator looking into a bunch of murders involving the stars of The Happytime Gang, a kind of Sesame Street kids show, with old police partner Connie (Melissa McCarthy), a human.
This is a fast-paced film with the intention of having a gag in every scene – but the script couldn't hit a cow on the a** with a banjo.
There is a spoof of Basic Instinct (guess which bit) that is just so misjudged and poorly delivered that it makes you embarrassed for every single person involved.
I'm no Oscar the Grouch when it comes to smut, but this is Sesame Street: Too Hot to Handle written by the cast of Porkies, in the dark, using typewriters, wearing boxing gloves, and directed by Ben Dover. The main guy, Phil Phillips, is just . . . boring.
Many should shoulder the terrible burden for this poor effort, in particular Brian Henson, son of Muppet marvels Jim and Jane, for sullying his family legacy and Melissa McCarthy for listening to either her agent or wallet too closely.
Only Maya Rudolph escapes with sympathy rather than scorn.
Brian and Co may be pulling a few strings, but they certainly aren't pulling up any trees.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Bolivia's electoral authority admitted Tuesday that more than 2,000 deceased persons in La Paz were registered to vote in next week's elections, local media reported.
The revelations came after an opposition candidate declared more than 300 dead people from La Paz's main cemetery remained on the electoral roll following a census update, raising concerns over possible vote-rigging.
Juan del Granado, candidate for Movement Without Fear (MSM) denounced the issue as "very serious" and demanded that the names be immediately withdrawn, reported daily Pagina Siete.
"We have done a sample of all of the cemetery's information of deaths from 2012 and 2014 and Surprise!, 326 dead people are going to vote in October," Granado said Sunday during a debate hosted by the Association of Journalists, and boycotted by President Evo Morales' party.
Granado, a rank outsider, labeled the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) "inefficient and ineffective" and appealed to international observers to investigate.
The TSE confirmed 2,187 out of 15,579 of the deceased remained eligible and placed the blame on families for improperly filing death certificates meaning they couldn't be removed. It denied the dead would be impersonated in the election.
"On the list is the photo and all the information to be identified by the ID card of the person that comes to vote," spokesman Ramiro Paredes said Tuesday, reported the daily La Patria.
While the mistake was possible in rural areas, the fact that the TSE authorized the names made it complicit, said MSM candidate for Bolivia's lower house, Edwin Herrera.
Granado drew further attention to another case where a man and woman were registered to act on election juries but they had been dead for four years.
Morales, an Aymara Indian who harnessed indigenous support to become Bolivia's longest-serving president since civilian rule returned in 1985, is running for an unprecedented third term.
Earlier this year a constitutional court controversially ruled in his favor to alter presidential term limits.
The election is considered Morales' to lose, amid high approval ratings and a fragmented opposition. Morales has refused to debate the opposition, dismissing them as 'neoliberals' and allied to the United States.
The MSM said Morales has pursued intimidation tactics to weaken the opposition, and alleged interference in national polls results.
A Equipsos Mori poll Sept. 16 gave the former coca leaf farmer 54 percent of the vote with his next challenger at 14 percent.
Del Granado polled fourth at 3 percent in the survey that interviewed 2,140 in 110 urban and rural areas. The margin of error was 2 percent.Last Mod: 02 Ekim 2014, 12:16

A MAN who stole from two town centre shops appeared in court.
Christopher Richardson, of Great Northern Street, was before Huddersfield magistrates yesterday.

Richardson, who has problems with drugs, is currently serving a prison sentence for shoplifting.
He is due to be released on February 10.
Magistrates agreed to adjourn his case until February 13.
When he is released his bail condition is that he complies with the DIP and probation service.

Two New Separate Master Bathrooms
The two new separate master bathrooms created for the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired contemporary art deco home. They are divided and accessed by a wide hallway that leads to the enormous walk-in closet.
- The husband's area has his lavatory, lots of storage and two built-in hampers, the toilet and bidet.
- The wife's room has her lavatory, with storage for all of her personal-care products, a two-person shower and an undermount soaking tub overlooking the garden.
The new home uses hydronic radiant heating throughout, including the tub-shower area to make the entire room comfortable. This project won the HBA Best of the Best Award. There are links to other rooms in the home below the photographs.
Other areas included in this project:
Exterior Construction – Kitchen – Main Floor Guest Bath – Second Floor Guest Bath – Living Room

My first go 'round with Australian makeup artist Napoleon Perdis made me a little nervous. I always look forward to trying a new line, but have to admit: I'm a bit skeptical of the "celebrity makeup artist" lines. Sometimes they're a bit more buck than bang.
I had the opportunity to try 3 brand new Napoleon Perdis products (they'll be available in March, '10). Let me tell you how it went...
The Napoleon Perdis philosophy is not dictated by fashion:
it's about elevating your natural beauty with confidence-building products.
Neo Noir Liquid LinerA candidate for title of one of the Most-Feared Items in the World of Cosmetics (another being the lash curler), liquid liner is a product that goes in and out of fashion while consistently being a staple in the makeup artist kit. With the strong appearance of the cat eye in recent fashion, I'd imagine liquid liners are seeing an upsurge in sales. However, when I talk to real women about it, most of them say something akin to "Oh, I can't do liquid liner!"
The Napoleon Perdis Neo Noir Liquid Liner makes it easy although, as with everything, a bit of practice will help you perfect your look.
They say:
- Marker-like pen
- Won't smudge or run
- Mistake-proof lining
- Super-soft applicator tip
- Long-wearing (6 hours +)
- Waterproof formula
- Buildable black color
- Safe for contact lens wearers and opthalmologist-tested
- $20
I say:
- Easy-to-use long, flexible tip makes lining a snap
- Definitely buildable, but starts off pretty black anyway
- Long-wearing, but did smudge a bit when my ears teared up in the wind and I wiped at them
- "Mistake-proof" if your hand is steady, but technique still counts
BSB Tip for Lining with Liquid Liner:
Hold the pen nearly flat and drag it along the lashline lightly
(rather than holding it perpendicular to the eye and using just the tip).
Start slow, and build color and the line itself until you've gotten to the desired intensity and shape.
Sometimes it's easier to use a pencil first to sketch the shape you want then apply the liquid liner on top!
Mesmer-Eyes Mascara
I have a real love-hate relationship with mascara. I'm quite picky, but can't live without it. What a pickle! The Mesmer-Eyes formula makes a lot of promises, but does it live up to them?
They say:
- "Like a miracle bra for your lashes!"
- Exceptional volume
- Superb length
- "You-go-curl bounce"
- Two-sided wand: wide side boosts lashes, fine side separates them
- Paraben-free
- Feels light on the lashes
- Conditions with Vitamin E, D-Panthenol, and bamboo
- Comes in regular and waterproof formulas
- Contact lens-safe and opthalmologist-tested
- $25
I say:
- Gives good length and moderate volume
- Darkest black
- Decent curl
- The wand takes a bit of getting used-to
- A touch clumpy - I found it hard to get the lashes truly separated and sometimes found little globs on the tips of the lashes
- It does feel light on the lashes
- The waterproof is nice and waterproof - no smudging or dripping
These pictures show the mascara (no lash curler used)
and 3 different widths of liner (all only 1 coat):
The bottom line...I'd probably purchase the liner, because I love the dark-dark-dark black shade and lovely tip. Because of the long, flexible point, this makes lining with a teensey line, a moderate line, and a big old fatty super easy, and flicking the outer corner is a breeze. I wish it weren't $20 though; I think $17 would be more appropriate.
As for the mascara, I love the color (super black!), but admit the wand isn't my style. I think I'd love this formula with a different wand. I just get so frustrated by the little globs of extra mascara on the tips... yuck. I'm going to keep fighting with it because the formula is great, but I confess: I may use disposable wands to apply it. I wouldn't repurchase this.
I am quite interested to try more of the Napoleon Perdis line, despite the bummer review of the mascara wand. The formulas on these two products really impressed me, and the applicator for the liner is stellar!

What element is used in thermometers?
1 Answer
Sep 8, 2016
Mercury is a popular choice for thermometers.
Mercury's liquid form, its metallic and opaque character which make it easy to see through glass, and its uniform expansion with temperature are all assets for use in thermometers. But mercury is toxic, so be careful handling mercury thermometers to prevent them from breaking.

Guided Hut Trip, Sawtooths ID Jan 20-24
This doesnt seem like the perfect place to post, but can't think of anywhere any better, everything in general seems to just get buried...
Wanted to float it out there to gauge any interest in a guided (+ Catered) hut trip Jan 20-24. I know its pretty last minute, but we have 2 open spots (possibly more, but will need to connect with the company). The trip is through Sawtooth Mountain Guides, at the Williams Peak Yurt.
Back in September I booked it as a private trip for a group of 4 of us. Was supposed to be me, my girlfriend, her best friend from high school, and her friends boyfriend. Due to an untimely breakup the boyfriend is now out, and we are down to three. Three skiers, and a guide for 5 days sounds less than ideal, so I figured I'd reach out to the people who helped get me into skiing over the past few years to see if theres any interest. The group of us are in our late twenties and all decently strong skiers, I'm probably the weakest of the bunch, but certainly capable, the two ladies raced in high school, but this is everyone's first foray into the backcountry. So seasoned vets, I dont think we'd slow you down too bad, plus those who just got there touring setup over the holidays dont be intimidated.
DM me if your interested and we can chat, see if we can make something work.

Making the Final Cut
- Posted by Stoked for Saturday
It is really difficult to pack your life into 4 suitcases!
Over the last few week's we've slowly cut back little by little the list of items that would make the final journey with us to New Zealand. Priority has been our camping and sporting equipment as we plan to make full use of it, in addition to the expense of trying to replace it all when we get there.
We also heard clothing is really expensive and shopping isn't exactly a highlight in New Zealand, so we made it a priority to ensure we purchased and packed work clothes to take with us.
Luckily, since I have traveled a lot for work, I am allowed check 3 bags up to 70lbs at no charge. In order to maximize our belongings we purchased the largest bags we could find. Apparently (although we will see if this theory is true very soon) according to Air Canada, hockey bags seem to fit into a loop hole in their baggage allowance (so Canadian). As long as it contains sporting equipment, there is no size or weight limits! Here's hoping that service rep was telling the truth! Amazing how much you can fit when you have no reserves on weight or size!
In order to fit all our clothes into 1 bag each, we leveraged the zip lock vacuum seal bags. It's amazing how much air it sucks out and the space you can save! Hard to believe we managed to get everything in!
So in the end we have 2 large suitcases, 2 hockey bags, 2 carrying on's and 2 backpacks! Here's hoping we can actually find a car to fit this all in when we arrive!
PS. In case you've noticed my new favorite thing to do is create animated GIFs 🙂
My longboard skateboard also made the final cut even though it's not pictured. I realized I wouldn't be able to look at the many long twisting roads in NZ and not ride them!
I never packed my bags like that, but it's definitely a good thing that you prepared it in advance.

Ice Hockey Equipment & Ice Hockey Bag

The worst part now is realizing you forgot something on the other side of the world and having no idea what box it's in.
[…] However, packing your life into a suitcase can be quite the challenge! We basically packed lots of clothes and as much sporting equipment as we could as we heard the shopping here wasn't great and slightly expensive. You may choose to bring more with you, but we ended up with 2 suitcases, 2 hockey bags, 2 carry-ons and 2 backpacks – and that was it! […]

Tips for Hiring the Right Music Producer in Orlando
You use much time developing good lyrics and style but all this can fail if you go wrong about choosing a producer. To know the best producer, you need to spend quality time in research. Although this may take much time, it is worth when the quality of your music is concerned. To get the most suitable music producer in Orlando, you should pay attention to the below factors.
You should establish what you need. Before you start looking for a music producer, be crystal clear about what you expect from the producer. You should determine if you possess a clearly-defined format of the way your music ought to sound like or if the producer's insights are all you will completely rely on. You should know whether you are proficient in vocals or you will need assistance to get the right performances on tape. Knowing what you want is helpful because you can compare producers and your needs in order to get the one that will provide answers to your questions. You also let your producer know what they are to accomplish.
Consider the experience. Make sure the music producer you choose has been producing your music genre for a long time. You need to check which other musicians are being produced for by the producer in question to ensure the quality of their music and the one you need are in line. A producer who is experienced does not only ensure artists have the freedom to express themselves but also maintains creativity quality. In addition, they have witnessed technology evolve in music industry hence having high tech equipment that guarantees good music.
You should put the relationship factor into consideration. Just because a producer is known for producing music of the best quality does not imply they will be the best in working with you. Before settling on hiring a producer, meet them prior to the start of your album recording to determine how possible it is for you both to get along. In addition, be keen on your ability to trust the producer. In case you are comfortable with the producer and like him, you should hire them because there will be much fun and no stress as you work on your album.
First of all, record demos. Consider recording samples with numerous music producers so you can know the one whose quality is excellent. You should take note of the fact that music production largely depends on the soundings and intonations. After getting demos from a number of producers, get your music teacher involved so they can guide you towards selecting the best. By so doing, the music you produce will be tasty and unique.

A criminal defendant's right to a trial by a jury of his peers is a very fundamental constitutional right in Maryland and the rest of the United States. To make sure that this right is protected, Maryland law has established some very specific processes that must be completed before a defendant's right to a jury trial will be considered to have been waived and the case decided by a judge. If you did not get a jury trial despite having never entered a valid waiver of your rights, then you may be entitled to a new trial. For advice and counsel on these and other criminal law issues, be sure to retain an experienced Maryland criminal law attorney.
As an example of this right in action, there's the case of S.H. S.H. was accused of having committed a series of 25 thefts in Calvert County over a six-week period. After much delay, the accused man's case reached a plea hearing. At that hearing, the defendant indicated that he wanted a jury trial. Later that day, at a different hearing in front of a different judge, the two sides informed the judge that they'd agreed to try the case without a jury. The case proceeded and the judge found S.H. guilty on all but two charges. Sentencing immediately followed.
The accused man appealed his conviction and was able to obtain a new trial. The success was one that resulted from the very strict procedural requirements that exist for trying a criminal defendant without a jury. Specifically, the law requires that a defendant must do more than just say, "I waive my right to a jury trial." Instead, the defendant must waive that right in such a way that it is proven to have been a knowing and voluntary waiver of rights, and the judge must make a finding that is included in the case's record that says that the waiver was knowing and voluntary.

I looked for it at about 11 or 11:30 and was unsuccessful. I don't know if it has moved or I didn't have the proper technique, of course, I was well after dawn! Maybe it was siesta time. Whatever, I'm disappointed.
Kathleen Anderson, Columbia
Quoting Brad Jacobs <[log in to unmask]><[log in to unmask]>:
Just before dawn, 4th try, I walked out on the breakwater at the marina at Long Branch Lake SP, Macon County, stopped where the white grass is on the trail near the right hand bend in the jetty and set up the spotting scope. I waited for five minutes then moved forward toward the distal end of the jetty about ten feet. Almost instantly there was brief motion of a small something in the white dry grasses on the right side of the gravel path about 30 feet in front of me. I waited without moving, then saw it move again and hop up on a rock. Moving very slowly so as not to launch the bird off the jetty, I got binoculars trained on the moving spot and it was a snow bunting.
After three failed attempts trying to find this bird, which was reported by myriad other birders about every other day for a week or so, I now believe snow buntings really do still exist. It vanished again down among the rocks where it could have been the whole time I was looking for it on previous visits in the howling wind. This morning was windless, so I was able to photograph it several time through a 20 X scope without being jostled and blown over by the wind. The images looked okay in miniature on the back of the digital camera. It was mostly pushing through the grasses picking seeds from the culms or off the ground.
Thanks to others who reported it often enough to get my hopes up. I usually wait until the first snow covers the plowed field and only a dirt strip is visible along the edge of the paved roads or patches are melting to ground on the gravel roads. I usually drive up some of the roads that parallel US 63 on the east side. Anywhere from Sturgeon on up to Edina, there have been flocks of 500 or more Lapland longspurs, horned larks, meadowlarks, juncos, several sparrow species, goldfinches, mourning doves, and several snow buntings in among them on most occasions in winter. I have seen up to 150 this way in Holt Co. on the Xmas count. The northern harriers patrol up and down the road trying to jump on something, but usually not having any luck with the birds.
Last winter was a bust for snowy owls and snow buntings, so now I am searching for snowy owls, along with scoters, long-tailed duck, mountain. bluebird, Townsend's solitaire, etc.
Any leads?

John Winning, the founder of Appliances Online, says retailers worried about the approach of Amazon probably have more of a problem with their own business than with competition.
Winning, who is also CEO of the Winning Group, said Amazon's arrival would without a doubt have a huge impact on the Australian retail landscape.
"But if businesses are now feeling worried and like they need to prepare, the issue is probably with their core business model," he said.
"Retailers should always be improving their operations as general good business practice and if they haven't been doing that then they aren't being fair to their customers, which is why they probably lack loyalty and would happily and easily jump ship to Amazon."
Amazon, which has made no official comment on its plans for Australia, is expected to be fully operational in Australia by the end of 2018.
The retail giant will be offering the whole catalogue of products including fresh food, takeaway food, electronics, fashion and its grocery delivery service Amazon Fresh, according to a retail executive who recently left Amazon.
Winning said Australian retail had for years happily lagged behind other markets. He said they now needed to start pursuing a global standard to remain competitive when international players entered the market.
"Australia's retailers need to wake up and realise that if you haven't got a strong enough business model you'll be left behind, and this is true whether Amazon enters this year or next," Winning said.
"Those that think they aren't prepared now have another year to either continue worrying about Amazon's arrival or an extra year to prepare and do something different."
Analysis by Credit Suisse showed Amazon would likely reach a better than 5% market share in many retail categories within five years of arriving in Australia.
Among ASX-listed retailers, Myer could be hit the hardest. Credit Suisse estimated the 117-year-old department store chain faced sales revenue falling by 4% to $3.16 billion in the 2022 financial year, compared with 2016, and EBIT falling 29% to $81 million.
The analysis by Credit Suisse showed Myer at the highest risk followed by Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi and Super Retail Group.

A Norwegian snowmobile patrol went off course and ended up driving about a kilometer on the Finnish side of the border, triggering a serious investigation, national broadcaster NRK reported.
The incident happened last Thursday in the northern part of Enontekiö municipality, where Finland borders northern Norway, and has been confirmed by Norwegian Armed Forces spokesman Major Brynjar Stordal.
"It is true that a Norwegian patrol mounted on snowmobiles last Thursday failed to navigate correctly and ended up a few hundred meters on the Finnish side of the border," Stordal said.
The patrol immediately informed the incident to the Armed Forces Operating headquarters (FOH), which notified Finland via diplomatic channels. According to the Norwegian Armed Forces, there were seven soldiers in the patrol who happened to cross the border illegally. The soldiers themselves couldn't answer where exactly the illegal border crossing, also reported by the Finnish border guard, occurred.

The Norwegian side lamented the incident.
"We are sorry for what has happened, Stordal told NRK. The border placement of military personnel requires diplomatic clearance. Therefore, the incident was immediately reported via formal channels," Stordal said.
According to Stordal, the Finnish authorities are treating the incident as a border violation by unauthorized military personnel.
Stordal refrained from commenting on the seriousness of the matter.

"As far as we know, we have a good relationship with our Finnish neighbors, which, when it comes to the military, includes common routine drills with our combat aircraft. Later this year, the Finnish forces will also participate in the largest military exercise on Norwegian soil in many years," Stordal said.

It's rare for soldiers from a NATO country to enter a country without authorization, at least in northern Europe, but ordinary Finns took the incident lightly and started joking about "unconditional surrender" and making references Norwegian skiers' enormous haul of asthma medication during the latest Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Other users welcomed the perspective of obtaining access to Norway's oil money, thus solving Finland's financial problems once and for all.

A Permanent Solution to Oenophobia.
Does oenophobia have a serious impact on your life? It may not seem possible, but after more than a decade working with the most severe fears and phobias we know that – for anyone who is determined – oenophobia can always be overcome.
Here is what we offer:
- Oenophobia significantly improved, maybe even gone within a day
- Complete confidentiality and privacy
- Clients in over 70 countries around the world
How to Get Started
We offer two programs for oenophobia. Our programs are designed to help you do it yourself with the Home Study program or get board-certified help with our one-on-one program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
Boxed CD's and Workbook are $147. Save $10 by just Downloading
• Get Underway Instantly & Download Now
• Work in Private at Your Own Pace
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Custom Program Developed for you by Your Expert Practitioner
• Board-Certified Practitioner
• Fast, Personalized & Proven System to Get Rid of the Root of the Fear
How the Program Works: Getting Over Oenophobia
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. Consciously, you know your oenophobia doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. But the fear remains because, with even just a thought of wines, your subconscious mind triggers fear and other negative emotions.
Getting rid of those automatic feelings isn't hard – you just need the right techniques for changing your reaction to your personal set of wines-related triggers. We'll help you learn this simple system to make the fear history. Are you ready to learn and utilize these techniques?
Process to Overcome Oenophobia: Treatment Versus Cure
We don't, in point of fact, 'treat', nor do we 'cure'. Modifying your awareness is a technique you have to learn to master for yourself. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. Time to say enough is enough. Harmful thinking isn't helping – you need to make some serious changes now.
The Triggers and Factors that Cause Your Fear
In most cases, Oenophobia (although not always) is triggered by an extremely negative encounter from the past. In some cases, it appears the brain has produced the fear with no instigation. By exposing the root cause, you will be able to remedy the problem by easily exchanging harmful triggers. People who are at the greatest risk include:
• Individuals who possess tendencies of apprehension
• Someone considered to be 'easily upset'
• One who is dealing with adrenal insufficiency
Do you feel as if even one of these represents you? Click here to see what individuals like you are saying about our capability to make a difference.
Or, if you prefer, read about us in the media.
Diagnosing Your Phobia
You can use our two minute Oenophobia Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: Now is the point in time to take control, if the fear is considerably taking over your life, in a negative way.
- By simply thinking about Wines, do you become woozy?
- Do you instantly get dry mouth and moist palms?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do your legs go weak?
These are only a few examples of the things one can feel. Click here to see more symptoms of oenophobia.
We help you with the symptoms, as well as find out the basis for them. That's why we're here
Prescription Drugs & Medications
We feel drugs and medication for Oenophobia aren't the best approach, but make sure you always follow a doctor's advice when taking or stopping any prescription. Drugs may produce a short-term improvement by masking symptoms, but they never tackle the core problem of the overwhelming automatic fear response to wines.
By the way – no one has ever developed a drug exclusively for Oenophobia – When looking for an answer, maybe you should think about possible side effects before turning to prescription drugs.
The good news is using our methods, you'll overcome Oenophobia, without the use of any meds..

Three great drums means lots of fun for everyone!
The XDrum hand drums have circular plastic frames covered on one side with natural skin, as is customary for frame drums. The depth of the burgundy plastic frame is 7.5 cm. The set includes three drums with different diameters (8 ", 10" and 12 "), a tuning key and a matching nylon carrying case.
The frame drum is the simplest type of hand drum. The sound is short and hard and can be struck on the head with fingers, one or both palms, the fist or a mallet. Depending on how close to the frame you strike the drum, the sound also changes.
These frame drums are popular with percussion groups and music schools. These instruments also provide a lot of fun for very young musicians, also in very young musicians these instruments already provide lots of fun - whether in the context of early musical education, at daycare or with friends in the playroom.

C.A.R. Affordability Index Drops to 36%
LOS ANGELES (Aug. 12) – Significantly higher home prices, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area and coastal regions, shut out more home buyers in the state during the second quarter of 2013, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) reported.
The percentage of home buyers who could afford to purchase a median-priced, existing single-family home in California dropped to 36 percent in the second quarter of 2013, down from 44 percent in first-quarter 2013 and from 51 percent in second-quarter 2012, according to C.A.R.'s Traditional Housing Affordability Index (HAI). The second quarter 2013 figure fell below 40 percent for the first time since the third quarter of 2008.
C.A.R.'s HAI measures the percentage of all households that can afford to purchase a median-priced, single-family home in California. C.A.R. also reports affordability indices for regions and select counties within the state. The Index is considered the most fundamental measure of housing well-being for home buyers in the state.
Home buyers needed to earn a minimum annual income of $79,910 to qualify for the purchase of a $415,770 statewide median-priced, existing single-family home in the second quarter of 2013. The monthly payment, including taxes and insurance on a 30-year fixed-rate loan, would be $2,000, assuming a 20 percent down payment and an effective composite interest rate of 3.64 percent. The effective composite interest rate in first-quarter 2013 was 3.55 percent and 2.82 percent in the second quarter of 2012.
The median home price was $316,490 in second-quarter 2012, and an annual income of $62,440 was needed to purchase a home at that price.
Nearly all regions of the state experienced sharp quarter-over-quarter declines in housing affordability, with Bay Area and coastal regions recording the greatest decreases in the index due to significantly higher home prices.
At an index of 71 percent, Madera County was the most affordable county of the state, while San Francisco and San Mateo counties tied for the least affordable at 17 percent
In Los Angeles County, 37% of home buyers were able to afford a median-priced home last quarter. The percentage was considerably lower in Orange County, where just 23% of home buyers were able to afford a home — making it the most expensive jurisdiction in Southern California. San Bernardino County was the most affordable in Southern California, with 69% of home shoppers able to buy a home.

Most people these days have access to good quality cameras, due to how reasonably priced they can be. However, owning a good camera doesn't mean the camera person is actually capable of taking a good shot. It helps to know some of what the professionals know, in order to take better quality photographs and more interesting shots. Read on for five great professional photography tips to help you get that perfect shot, time after time.
1: Understand your equipment
Make sure that you know your camera and equipment well. This includes learning about the various settings your camera uses and how to adjust them correctly. Not understanding your camera means you cannot expect it to accurately produce what you hope it will. So if you are looking to take macro detailed shots, or low light images, make sure you adjust your camera accordingly. A camera is only as good as the operator, and will only ever be able to take the kind of shots it is programmed to take.
2: Understand the resolution settings
Always make sure that you adjust the correct resolution on your camera settings. For quick fun snapshots you do not need to have a high resolution setting (particularly if you wish to conserve smart card memory), but for professional shots or images you intend to have blown up, the higher the resolution the better. Remember too that you can always scale down, but never up. For professional quality shots the best setting is to shoot the image in RAW, which can then be adjusted in a computer photography program.
3: Always clean your camera and lens
Im sure most of us have experienced taking a photograph and then realizing after we view it that the lens had a finger print, smudge or some dust or hair on it. This can completely ruin a perfect shot. Make sure that you get into a good habit of cleaning your lens and wiping down your camera. Take particular care of your camera if taking photos in dusty or sandy conditions. Small grains of sand or grit can easily damage the mechanisms of your camera, such as if you have a retractable telescopic lens. Take care in wet conditions by always using some kind of protective shade or waterproof casing.
4: Keep your camera with you at all times
It may not seem practical, but keeping your camera with you at all times can help you capture a perfect moment. If you do not always keep your camera with you then chances are there will be one really good photo opportunity that you end up missing out on. Keeping your camera on you at all times ensures that you are always ready to capture the right thing at the right time. Lastly, always make sure that your camera battery has plenty of life and that you have plenty of memory space. Consider purchasing back up batteries and extra memory cards, just in case your memory or battery suddenly runs out. That way you can be sure that your camera is always ready to go.

Paul Haggis Leaves Scientology
Director of Crash Paul Haggis penned a break up letter with Scientology and their current national spokesperson Tommy Davis. The Village Voice published it. What will get all the ink is that Haggis is upset at the San Diego chapter endorsing Prop. 8. But Haggis is also miffed, after 35 years, of the policy of "disconnection," which is the Scientology version of ex-communication. Davis denied the policy exists on CNN and this is suddenly outrageous to the Oscar winner.
Haggis writes:
This was my state of mind when I was online doing research and chanced upon an interview clip with you on CNN. The interview lasted maybe ten minutes – it was just you and the newscaster. And in it I saw you deny the church's policy of disconnection. You said straight-out there was no such policy, that it did not exist.
I was shocked. We all know this policy exists. I didn't have to search for verification – I didn't have to look any further than my own home.
Yeah, after a couple of months figuring out the church lies, we get it. After 35 years?
This reminds us of the scene in Casablanca where Captain Renault declares, "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"
Your winnings, Sir.

China's ongoing military buildup has some in the United States alarmed. Dennis Shea, the chairman of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, reported the buildup will challenge Taiwan's security.
In a meeting last Thursday, Shea further reported that China's increasing military buildup will make it hard for U.S. intervention in the Asia Pacific region.
Specifically citing that Taiwan wouldn't have a way to defend itself, and also advocating the further sale of U.S. Weapons to Taiwan to help ensure their autonomy.
The hope of the report was to get the attention of the U.S. Congress, so they could be more aware of Taiwan's needs moving forward.
The report also outlined that China's increased ballistic capabilities also threaten U.S. bases in the region.
Overall, it seems as though China's military buildup has broad implications for the U.S. as well as other allies in the region.

What To Do When Someone Dies
Our Funeral Directors Are Here To Guide You
Know what to do when someone dies. Don't wait until the moment is upon you. If you follow certain steps and protocols, the transport and eventual memorial service process will be easier and less stressful.
When someone passes away, their doctor is generally one of the first people to be contacted. The doctor would sign a certificate that confirms the death.
The funeral director would normally provide this 'cause of death' certificate to the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, which issues the official death certificate.
Funeral arrangements cannot proceed until the doctor signs and issues this certificate. If a doctor is not available to sign a death certificate, you would need to get the coroner to do so.
Once a death certificate has been signed, the deceased can be moved into the care of a funeral director.
You would probably also wish to alert friends and family members who knew the departed.
If your loved one has died in a hospital or nursing home, it will be a little different to the protocol that applies when the person has died at home.
Nursing homes would contact the family, who would then contact the funeral director. Funeral planning can then begin, providing no coroner investigation is needed.
A coroner may be involved if the death resulted unexpectedly, directly or indirectly, from an accident, injury, or during a medical procedure.
Hospitals, on the other hand, have mortuary facilities on-site. The doctor will advise you should a coroner be required. Once the paperwork has been signed off, the deceased can be released into the care of the funeral director.
If your loved one did not have a pre-paid or pre-planned funeral and, in the absence of anyone else to take the reins, you would need to make decisions regarding how the funeral should be carried out.
When determining how to proceed with the funeral and memorial services, you would need to consider:
Who should be involved with the planning?
Is a cremation or burial preferred?
Religious or non-religious ceremony?
Will a viewing be required?
Clothing for your loved one's burial or cremation.
Flowers to be displayed.
Music to be played at appropriate moments.

How honored I was to be able to interview my long time friend, AAPN member and industry leader Jesus Canahuati of Elcatex in Honduras.
By Mike Todaro
The Atlanta-based Americas Apparel Producers' Network (AAPN) is hosting the Apparel Summit of the Americas in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, November 27-29, 2018. This supply chain event will include a program of speakers and plenty of networking opportunities as well as tours of brand new state-of-the-art mills built to address the need for agile manufacturing.
Honduras has a country development program, known as Honduras 2020. This private sector initiative is complemented by the public sector and was developed to grow the country both socially and economically. Honduras 2020 focuses on six strategic areas of the economy, one of which is textiles and apparel. One of the goals for the textile sector is to increase annual exports to $7.4 billion and add 200,000 jobs to the country's existing 150,000 jobs by the year 2020. Another goal is to surpass Indonesia and Mexico to become the United States' fifth most important apparel provider.
Honduran textile companies are ramping up synthetics output in Honduras. One such company is Elcatex, a company dedicated to producing knit fabrics, cut parts and full-package programs. Founded in 1984, the 500,000-square-foot mill has a capacity of 2 million pounds per week. In addition to its textile manufacturing investments, Elcatex operates Latin America's largest above-ground photovoltaic generator that has a capacity of 7.5 megawatts, and also uses other forms of renewable energy including biomass.
Ahead of the Apparel Summit of the Americas in Honduras, AAPN's Mike Todaro chatted with Jesus Canahauti, general manager, Elcatex, about his company and the Honduras 2020 initiative.
Mike Todaro: Why are you working in this industry?
Jesus Canahauti: I was born into this industry. In 1959, my father, Juan Canahauti, and his wife traveled to the United States where they met the brand Lovable. That same year, he obtained the line's distribution rights in Honduras.
In 1965, he took the first step from distribution to actual production in what would become his own factory, Lovable of Honduras. Seeing the need for raw material within the country, in 1984 he created the company Elásticos Centroamericanos y Textiles, or ELCATEX.
I was born, raised and went to high school here in Honduras. I was fortunate to be accepted into the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta where I earned my engineering degree in 1987. When I returned to Honduras, my father encouraged me to build a small textile company within Elcatex in order to supply the fabric needed in his sewing facilities. Read More
