London - Best Singaporean-Malaysian Ever at Sedap, Old Street
What happens when perhaps the most talented and famous Penang-Nyonya chef in Singapore moves quietly to London, and opens her own little restaurant? She who has cooked for Presidents and Prime Ministers back in Singapore – all yearning for her delicious renditions of Nyonya dishes from Penang, Malaysia's food mecca. That's the extraordinarily talented Mary Yeoh of Sedap in Old Street.
Mary Yeoh and her husband, Yeoh Teng Chye, first became famous because of their legendary Penang buffet at the Princess Terrace restaurant, Copthorne Kings Hotel in Singapore – it's still going strong after nearly 30 years, where legions of Penang-born chefs still churned out the best Penang-Nyonya cuisine by following Mary Yeoh's recipes to a "T". Her Penang Fried Koay teow, Singapore-style Curry Laksa, Belachan Fried Chicken, Roti Prata with Nyonya Chicken Curry, and many other dishes were the stuff of legend. Singaporeans could never get enough of it.
Kwek Leng Beng (one of Singapore's richest men & owner of the Millennium & Copthorne Group) sent Mary Yeoh and her husband to London as consultant-chefs to the HK-born Chef de Cuisine of Bugis Street restaurant at the Gloucester Hotel back in 1993/4 then. I'd posted about Bugis Street recently – it's still packing in Malaysian & Singaporean diners in the droves today – though the standard of food there is nowhere near what Mary Yeoh can conjure up if she runs the kitchens herself.
In early 2000, a rival Singaporean billionaire-hotelier, Ong Beng Seng, poached the Yeohs from under the nose of the Millennium & Copthorne Group, and set them up at Nyonya restaurant in Notting Hill. For the next 5-6 years, lines of Singaporeans and Malaysians made their pilgrimage to Nyonya for authentic Singaporean/Malaysian chow.
Anyway, Mary Yeoh & her husband soon decided to finally strike out on their own – thus, Sedap was born. For decades, I'd looked for good Oriental food in London, specifically good, authentic Singaporean food. In the 1960/70s, it was Mr Chow's – expensive, pretentious, snooty, filled with A-listers and, unless you are Alec Guinness or Michael Caine, you're likely to be ignored by the waiters. In the 1980s, Ken Lo's Memories of China set the benchmark. To get gritty Cantonese, you go to Fung Shing or New Mayflower or to the despicable Wong Kei, where you take your chance with rude, obnoxious waiters. For authentic Malay (not Malaysian), you trudge over to Malaysia Hall (then in Bryanston Square, now on Queensborough Terrace) for authentic beef rendang & sayur masak lemak churned out by "makciks" ("aunties") cooks sent over by the Malaysian government to provide sustenance to the hordes of Malaysian students studying/living in London.
But nowhere was I able to find a really, really authentic & good Singaporean restaurant. Not even the definitive Singapore Garden in Swiss Cottage, although it did come close.
All that changed when Sedap came into being. It was mind-boggling – in cold, wintry London, I can find Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine which, in some instances, surpassed even the versions I found back in Singapore or Malaysia! Such is the sheer talent of Mary Yeoh. What we had this evening:
- Singapore-style Curry Laksa: spicy, aromatic, coconut-rich curried noodles, topped with poached chicken, fresh crunchy shrimps, tofu puffs, fish-cake slices and a hard-boiled egg. It was the perfect comfort food for any Singaporean foodie who wanted to look for something familiar from home, after a diet of Michelin-starred restaurants in London's rich, cosmopolitan culinary scene.
- Sesame encrusted Prawn Toasts & Crisp Vegetarian Spring Rolls: both very tasty and greaseless, despite the deep-frying involved;
- Roti Prata with Nyonya Chicken Curry: this dish was incredible – the crisp Singaporean pancakes served with perhaps the best Nyonya-style curry in this part of the world. Even back in Singapore, Mary Yeoh's curry was legendary – amongst hundreds of her peers. Here in London, it was both unique and extraordinary – it made the curries I had in Chinatown and Bayswater seemed plain & practically amateurish;
- Sayur Lodeh: a rich, fragrant vegetable curry with aubergines, long beans, cabbage, tofu and fresh bamboo shoots – a veritable vegetarian's dream;
- Malaysian fried rice, with eggs & shrimps: delicious, spicy, perfectly-textured;
- Belachan-fried chicken: slightly sweetish chicken, flavored with fermented shrimp paste, fried till crispy on the outside, deliciously moist inside. Mary Yeoh's Belachan Chicken was much talked-about back in Singapore, and still features prominently in the Princess Terrace's famous buffet.
- Penang Char Koay Teow: fried flat rice noodles with shrimps, eggs, beansprouts. Nice "wok hei" fragrance treasured by Chinese diners.
- Desserts were an unforgettable "Kueh Bengkang" (pan-roasted tapioca cake) and "Kueh Talam" (Nyonya-style pandan-flavored custard pudding, topped with coconut crème). Both items were better than any similar items I'd tasted back in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore in the past 1 year!!
How I wished Mary Yeoh would come back to Singapore once again, where her cooking prowess are well-known and acknowledged by foodies & discerning diners. No superlatives are enough to describe how I felt about Mary Yeoh's cooking. Until then, many Singaporeans like myself will just have to make a 14,000km food pilgrimage to Old Street to pay homage to Mary Yeoh's food :-D

re: JFores
I trust your trek there will be shorter than mine, JFores :-)
re: greedygirl
LOL! Well noted.
BTW, I spoke to Mary Yeoh and she's very happily settled in here.
Senior management executives from the Millennium & Copthorne Group Singapore still drop by for her food whenever they are in London. And her own favorite cuisine here? "Indian!", she exclaimed. Yep - you do get some awesome Indian here - Londoners are some of the luckiest diners in the world :-)
Looks very nice. No veggies? ;-)
From your recounting of the Yeohs' storyline Sedap was opened around 2006? Googlemaps street view must predate that, then, as it shows the address to be occupied by an "Authentic Cantonese & Peking Cuisine" place called Yat San 111. :-)
BTW here's one diner who had a contrary view of the place: http://maps.google.com/maps/user?uid=... Perhaps everybody in BOH was off-kilter that day...
re: huiray
Oh yes - I do believe there can be off-days for some chefs, but I seriously don't think Mary Yeoh could be *that* bad. Perhaps a review by a business rival? ;-)
re: klyeoh
Heh. Ya think? :-)
re: huiray
Hey, it's a dog eat dog world out there, huiray :-D
re: klyeoh
I'd guess that review was written by the chef/manager of Awana -- he was all over the internet writing fake positive reviews for Awana (which has closed -- worst restaurant in London).
re: brokentelephone
Nasty. But that's the problem with some high-profle Malaysian restaurant openings (used to be Awana, now Rasa Malaysia) in London - pluck some random chefs out of nowhere, and expect the local diners here to swallow whatever they churn out.
Mary Yeoh: now that name's a blast from the past! She made the best assam laksa I ever tasted in Singapore. I first met her when she came to cook in King's Hotel when the hotel GM Yeoh Cheng Kung who's also originally from Penang enticed her and her husband to come to cook in Singapore.
Yes, she is one talented lady, about my age too now, if I remember correctly - 65 (now keep this a secret between us Chowhounds okay?)
My mahjong kaki friends and I still made it a point to go to Princess Terrace for the Penang buffet at least once a month or every two months these days. Mary should take credit for the Penang Hokkien prawn mee noodles soup, assam laksa, too-thor (pigs stomach) soup, Penang Nonya achar, nasi kerabu, kerabu bee hoon, char moy (fried porridge), delicious satay, the superb Nonya kueh-kueh especially the pulot tay-tay. Her chicken curry is so shiok! Lemak and pedas!
I still like to buy the Nyonya kaya back home. Thank you, Mary Yeoh, if you are reading this, for making our lives so much richer with your wonderful food! We all miss you!!!
re: politicfool
Which dishes did you order? I sometimes find issue with Singaporean/Malaysian restaurateurs who tweaked their recipes to "suit Londoners' tastes". But it's a common practice, from what I hear.
Have you tried "Laut", the Michelin-starred Malaysian restaurant in Manhattan (owned by Malaccan-born Michael Bong http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp...) - all its dishes were changed to suit New Yorkers' tastes as well, as my Malaysian friends visiting NY found out when they dined there.
Whilst at Sedap, I'll usually get authentically-prepared dishes, but mainly because I'd request for that whilst ordering.
re: klyeoh
Yeah, we didn't state explicitly that we wanted the food to be "authentic". That may have been why the kitchen sent us dishes that I would think of as rather bland and ordinary.
re: politicfool
I prefer the Nyona curry dishes there over the more hawker-styled items, so having different dishes could also be another cause for difference. The sauces there tend to be appropriately rich and complex in my experience. When in doubt, order sambal belachan to perk things up.
re: limster
There's a program called "Singapore Flavours" currently screening on the AFC channel in Singapore: each episode featured a popular Singapore dish and how it's perceived overseas. The show's hosts (comedian Mark Lee, actor Chen Han Wei, actress Fiona Xie and radio DJ Dennis Chew) each traveled to a different city to try out the food.
In the episode on fish-head curry, Chen Han Wei visited London (the other hosts went to Adelaide, San Francisco and Tokyo). Chen Han Wei chose Malaysia Kopitiam on Charing Cross Road, where the version looked authentic. The owner of Malaysia Kopitiam did say that only Malaysian/Singaporean customers would order that dish, so they did not tweak the recipe.
In another episode featuring Hainanese chicken rice, Chen Han Wei went to Rasa Sayang on Macclesfield Street. There, he tasted authentic Hainanese chicken rice. Interestingly, Rasa Sayang's proprietress did tell him that they'd serve 2 different versions: one to Singaporean/Malaysian/Oriental customers, and another version to others who'd not be able to appreciate the actual Singaporean version.
The best part of the episode was when Chen Han Wei asked a Russian lady customer in there to try the authentic version (which he really liked) ... and she hated the very taste of it :-D
re: klyeoh
"The best part of the episode was when Chen Han Wei asked a Russian lady customer in there to try the authentic version (which he really liked) ... and she hated the very taste of it :-D"
...and that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is another illustration of why servers and chef-proprietors in a great many Chinese (& related) restaurants throughout the Occident say "You No Like" to their general Western clientele who ask for "authentic dishes". At least at one time. ;-)
A recent thread on a facet of this phenomenon from across the Pond: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/826545
re: klyeoh
Klyeoh - how do you precisely ask for something to be "authentic" if you don't speak the language?
re: Will125
It's difficult - unless you have a Malaysian or Singaporean amongst your dining party. Restaurateurs here tend to be *very* resistant to serving food which they think won't be appreciated by the locals, no matter what you say to them.
Camellia Panjabi (who owned Masala Zone) experienced that, too - she wrote about how she wanted to introduce "real" Indian food here, but no one wanted to order what she offered. So, you now have Masala Zone outlets which serve watered down versions of the real stuff - but, they suit local tastes!
re: klyeoh
So even a request for something to be more authentic will likely not suffice? Oh well, I guess I need to make some Malaysian friends!
re: Will125
I was back at Sedap last night with Limster and Deansa. The owner-chef, Yeoh Teng Chye, spoke to us and explained how he couldn't provide 100% authentic renditions for all dishes - firstly, local diners had thought that his "Curry Kapitan", a Penang-style spicy chicken stew, had been sent back by some customers who mistook the sourish taste as "the curry's gone bad". He's since removed the item (plus others which proved unpopular with local diners) from the menu.
What we had last night:
- Kerabu prawns: a very (and I do mean *very*) spicy prawn-and cucumber salad. Very fresh prawns used here.
- Deep-fried spring rolls. A bit too small for me, but seemed okay for the others.
- Roti canai and chicken curry. The roti was crisp and flaky, though a bit greasy last night. The chicken curry was *incredible* - only Sedap has been able to produce Chinese-Nyonya-style chicken curry with the requisite flavours. The other versions I'd had in other Malaysian spots like Rasa Sayang (Macclesfield St), New Fook Lam Moon (Gerrard St) or Malaysian Kopitiam (Charing Cross Rd) tasted closer to Indian curries: probably catering to the average Londoner's taste, who're also more familiar with Indian curries than a Nyonya one.
- Hainanese chicken rice - much better than the version I had at Singapore Garden (Swiss Cottage) or Rasa Sayang (yuk!). It's hard to find great Hainanese chicken rice in London.
- Penang fried koay teow: perfectly respectable version here, with a smoky, delicious aroma.
- A variety of Nyonya kuehs (cakes) which included kueh talam, kueh serimuka, kueh bingka, and kueh lapis. They were 100% authentic and better than those I get in 99% of Nyonya stalls back in Singapore or KL! Quite a feat indeed to produce these here in London.
Coincidentally, the Asian Food Channel in Singapore just featured Mary Yeoh and Sedap restaurant in this evening's episode of "Singapore Flavours"!
I'll have to try again.
I popped in one lunch and whilst it was OK / pleasant it didn't stand out for me, with the exception of the dessert.
I shall go again and try different dishes.
Interesting, I knew they used to be at Nonya but I didn't know the full back story.
I first came across Sedap on the way to an office lunch at the nearby Indian restaurant, not long after the closure of Nonya.
Since then, they have been my go-to restaurant for office lunches and whenever I had to work late on clients' expenses.
The typical chinese takeaway fare they do is I must say, pretty ordinary. And unfortunately, that is what most of my non Sinagporean/Malaysian colleagues would order.
The things that they really do well are the Singapore/Malaysian specialities. The Penang Char Kway Teow is absolutely one of the top, if not the best in the world. I have tried all the best rated Char Kway Teow in Singapore and it doesn't get any better than this.Ditto for the laksa, curry and the kueh.
Now, if only somebody can convince them to set up a lunch outpost at the White Cross St market so that the hordes of office workers can enjoy the food.
I went today for lunch and thought it was OK, but not spectacular by any means.
Granted, I only sampled the beef rendang (it was a lunch special served with an excellent salad), but found it tasted much like any beef rendang I'd had before. The meat was braised, and was slightly on the dry side (I'm a fan of beef belly or fatty brisket for dishes like rendang -- this tasted more like braised chuck).
It's very cheap so will give it a second shot and will ask for some of the dishes listed here.
re: brokentelephone
Beef rendang would not be one of Sedap's specialties as it's more Indonesian (or else ethnic-Malay) than Nyonya. In fact, in Singapore & Malaysia, beef rendang will not appear on the menu of a Nyonya-style restaurant - but I guess Sedap is offering what locals want in London.
One of the "better" beef rendangs I'd tried in London was at Malaysia Hall's canteen on Queensborough Terrace, but it's harder for non-Malaysians to get in now without being accompanied by a Malaysian - as the food there is subsidized by the Malaysian government.
Generally, to make authentic beef rendang, you need freshly-grated coconut (to be slow pan-roasted till golden-brown), fresh turmeric leaves & fresh kaffir limes leaves to give the dish its trademark taste/smell, besides the blend of spices. The first 2 items are virtually impossible to come by in London.
re: klyeoh
fresh coconuts are easily sourced and then able to be grated - this is how i make rendang at home, in london.
re: abby d
Then, maybe the Indonesian/Malaysian restaurants in London did not bother to go the extra mile to use them, relying instead on easy-to-store dried shredded coconut or else canned varieties of coconut. Are there any places in London where you've found *proper* rendang?
re: abby d
Pardon my ignorance, but where exactly does one get FRESH coconuts in Britain?
re: M_Gomez
Young coconuts can be found at Asian (SE Asian. Chinese, etc) supermarkets in London (can't speak for outside of London).
Coconuts (i.e. the hairy brown things) can be found at my local Waitrose most of the year, and at Asian (Indian) markets year round.
re: klyeoh
Bonda Cafe (near Lancaster Gate) also has (or had... i haven't been there in 6 month or so) a killer beef rendang! The first time I had it, the beef was super soft with a melt-in-the-mouth texture. And this is from a person who's not usually a big fan of rendangs.
But the last time I went back, the beef rendang was not as good as before (the previous chef had gone back to Malaysia), and the portions had shrunk, hence I haven't been back since.
Went for dinner tonight with high expectations - we make annual trips to Malaysia to see family, and have always over indulged to compensate for lack of this type of food in London.
We ordered char kway teow, roti prata (with chicken curry), blachan chicken, chicken satay, Hainanese chicken rice and Nyonya desserts. Accompanied by teh tarik.
Char kway teoh had great 'wok hei' as compared to other Asian restaurants. Good balance of flavors (we asked for not spicy) and not overly salty, nor oily, as is often the case.
Roti prata, never missed when in Malaysia, were delicious. Cripsy and flaky, and not at all greasy. I can eat these all day, sans curry. Which was good tonight, since we found the curry resembled more of a mains dish, rather than the more watery version which typically accompanies. It was also a bit too spicy, rather than being spice heavy.
Blachan chicken is not something I think I've eaten before. For me it was not unlike Japanese karage - deep fried perfectly to retain succulence, though not a great deal of other flavours going on. We did order the sweet chilli sauce on the side to accommodate one of the DPs tastes, being unsure of the level of spice. Am reliably informed this dish has definitely been modified from its original form to appeal to Western palettes.
Chicken satay - delicious! But lacked the characteristic charcoal flavour. The satay sauce also could have used a more prominent peanut flavour. Well cooked meat though.
Hainanese chicken rice - went down very well. Chicken was succulent and juicy, and cooked just right. Rice was the right texture and fragrant, though missing the chicken aroma, and also typical spring onion hint. Would definitely get this again.
Nyonya desserts - not sure if I'm confusing this with something else, but we've also had these cold, so were pleasantly surprised to be served it warm. Delightful combination of sweet, savoury and gelatinous though. Enjoyed so much we ordered a second.
I don't know that this is the most authentic Malaysian Chinese food I've ever eaten, but from the sounds of it, Sedap tops the list for offerings in London. Definitely great food, even if not the most authentic - and I understand that most transplanted cuisines do get the Western makeover.

re: flaymzofice
You're right regarding the makeover bit, flaymzofice, Sedap's offerings these days are tweaked to suit local tastes in some instances. But their Nyonya kuehs are still very authentic and definitely the best in London!

Maemo Update to Allow N900 to Dual Boot with MeeGo.
Not the full experience, but we'll take what we can get.
The MeeGo blog has confirmed that the upcoming update for the Nokia N900 (PR 1.3), will allow a dual-boot option between MaeMo and MeeGo. Considering Intel's recent announcement that the smartphone market won't be getting an official MeeGo device until 2011, users eager to try the OS out on a phone are going to have to take what they can get.
An interesting note for developers, the dual-boot feature allows for testing Qt apps in both operating systems. App development for both MeeGo and Maemo are based on Nokia's Qt development APIs, allowing apps to be written on a PC and then transfered to both Maemo and MeeGo.
Nokia told the MeeGo blog that the N900 is used as a development hardware platform and that there is no plan to implement the dual-boot option in commercial software releases.

Film and Theology
Monday 8th – Thursday 11th April
This annual gathering, now in its fifteenth year, provides an opportunity to reflect theologically on contemporary and classical films including Amour, Hunger, Argo, The Hunt, Intolerance, Moonrise Kingdom, and Shame. As usual it is an eclectic bunch of films ranging from 1916 to 2012, art house to popular blockbuster, IRA hunger strike to young love. But the range and variety doesn't matter nor does the apparent lack of explicit religious themes or setting. All films have a set of values that they are implicitly or explicitly propagating and can therefore be part of a dialogue with theology.
Participants in the course are also asked to bring a short clip (4 – 5mins) from a film that is resonant with their theology or world view. They will be asked to show the clip and introduce it – the only rule is that their introduction must be shorter than the clip!
The inclusive course fee (£255 - £285) covers morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, bed and breakfast. Non-residential prices, Clergy and Student discounts are available on request.
To book call 01244 532350 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you are interested in joining the course, or simply in film and theology, Peter Francis has developed a short Study Guide from the library's extensive collections on the subject. It can be downloaded to your computer, tablet or Kindle here.

BOSSIER CITY, La. (AP) - A gunman robbed a Barksdale Federal Credit Union location in Bossier City and four people were taken into custody in connection with the crime.
Police say an employee was opening the business Wednesday morning when a man rushed in with a handgun and demanded money. The employees gave him the cash he demanded and nobody was harmed.
Bossier City patrol officers and K-9 units immediately converged on the area looking for the suspect. Two people were detained about a half an hour after the robbery. Two others were arrested later. Some of the money has been recovered and police say they are continuing to look for evidence.

A Native name given to a girl who was born during a New Moon or a Lunar eclipse. Darkmoon is spiritual in nature, loving all living things. She brings light wherever she goes, and loves to shine on everyone around her. She is a gentle soul who's main purpose in life is to bring love and joy to all others. Don't piss a Darkmoon off, or you will see she can change like the tides. Normally soft and gentle, she can let loose her fury like a great tsunami. Best of friends, as she will always be there for you. She's the kind of person who would buy the homeless person a meal with her last buck. Animals and even butterflies seem to understand her and flock to, or alight on, her. So it is not uncommon to see her chatting up the animals or petting butterflies.

The Scenic Route
Rediscovering the countryside from a skinny-ass bike seat
At a small daylit bar in Thurmont--motto: Gateway to the Mountains--a dozen bearded bikers are watching the Kentucky Derby on a giant flat-screen television. Conversations involve their various rides into town from what seems like a scattering of Central Maryland mountain locales, when they have to be back to their kids or dogs, and where they went to place their bets on today's winner (Charles Town, W. Va., mostly)--which no one picks. Pickled eggs are 35 cents, and sticks of venison are $1.35. Before the door even shuts behind me, someone shouts out, "You a horse jockey?" In a sweat-crusted wool cycling jersey, tiny cap, and cut-offs, I lamely offer, "Well, a bike jockey, I guess." Outside is a line of highway cruisers of the gas-fed variety and, locked against a parking meter, is a fixed-gear British racing bicycle loaded down with camping gear and empty water bottles.
I've had "serious" bicycles and ridden them obsessively since getting a Gary Fisher mountain bike in 1998. I've ridden tens of thousands of miles in those years and done many a heinous physically brutal thing, and the 30 miles ridden that day--over the course of five hours, averaging a pathetic 6 miles-per-hour--were the worst, the most painful, the ones that had me cursing the Lord and all but whimpering on steep climb after steep climb through the sort of mountains I didn't even know Maryland had. Bicycle touring, which boils down to riding from place to place over multiple days with most likely a load of camping gear and food, is in itself a unique beast, but doing it without gears or without the ability to coast feels as unnecessary and painful as cutting yourself.
Thirty miles by ordinary touring standards is lightweight, perhaps a good starting place for newbies. More realistic is 50 or 60 miles in a day. You get a wider berth for pacing yourself, can allow for breaks and meals, and get someplace with enough light left to unroll a tarp and sleeping bag, maybe even time enough to have a local beer. Thirty miles with around 4,000 feet of climb in them is not at all lightweight.
The day's route took me from the woods northwest of Burkittsville by the Appalachian Trail, where I'd camped in the yard of a boarded-up cabin a half-mile up the hill from a set of ruins and a church graveyard, to this Thurmont bar. Specifically, that's two trips over South Mountain, and a single slow slog up the back of granite-pocked Catoctin Mountain, the nearly 1,900-foot ridge that looms over Thurmont and stretches into Southern Pennsylvania. It's all very pretty; in very early May, the green is so explosive it feels like the treed ridges are part of the upwelling of some deep and powerful current.
But it's not a scenery fix. I mean, it is, but that's not the whole of touring, the grand why of sitting on a bike for days at a time, crawling sweat-sticky into a sleeping bag somewhere quite possibly illegal (legit state park camping isn't a whole lot cheaper than a low-end motel these days), inhaling exhaust and gnats, the inevitable roadside flats and breakdowns (that you yourself can fix!), and the similarly inevitable open road boredom of certain parts of farm country. As far as the bare getting from place to place? Well, it's probably faster than a horse--but the hour or so drive to Thurmont from Baltimore makes four or five hours on a bicycle seem like a bit less of a bargain.
Because it's there? Because it's free? Or, maybe, if you're someone like myself, it's a bit more practical than the above. Carless, how the eff else can I not be around people for three days at a time? (A requirement.) And it is a fine way of getting away in an absolute sense. It's one thing to get away from the internet for a few days, it's a whole 'nother to not have to interact with people at all.
Yet, that getting-away-from-it-all is nicer in theory, and misses one of the more interesting things that happens when you're touring long distance on a bike: Places get smaller. There was a time when this country, or even this world, was larger on an order of magnitude in the 100s. Fun fact: Charles Village was once a vacation community of Baltimore until the streetcar and its comparative speed brought that distance more in line with how we experience it now.
Touring on a bicycle, one thing that always amazes are the towns--like, the places you drive through and think, Town? There's nothing here. A couple of buildings, maybe a pizza shop, a few houses, and then back into farmland. It's a fact of physics that as things get faster, they physically get smaller. And, as things get slower, they get larger. And as they get larger, they get more detailed, more characterized. Thurmont is dusty storefronts, crab boils, a bar, and a peculiar deafening quiet. On the other side of the mountain, Wolfsville is a small road intersection in a tight valley of little kids running around main street, dogs, and tended lawns. Around Libertytown, 30 or so miles outside of Baltimore on Liberty Road, towns finally turn from strip mall and fast food nurseries to actual main streets and porches.
Moreover, towns turn from regions back into towns. Like, say, Gettysburg. I can't explain where I rode to in Pennsylvania--around Idaville, Pine Grove Furnace--without reducing it to Gettysburg. It's not people lacking intimate knowledge of Southern Pa. farmland, per se, but understand that while it's only 10 miles between the Gettysburg and Idaville, 10 miles on a bike through the deepening hills of the area equates to over an hour of riding. In the world of cars, Idaville becomes Gettysburg. (Hell, in the world of airplanes, Thurmont practically becomes Baltimore.) It's an interesting thing: Something as American as cars have separated us more than anything from, well, America.
And separated us from other people. I know what I said above about not liking people very much, but something interesting happens on a bike tour: As much as you start re-interfacing with the landscape, you also acquaint with its people. It's ridiculous to buy bottled water or hunt out drinking fountains or public faucets for a days-long trip, so you inevitably ask people along the road. Off of the highways and onto the backroads, it might seem that everyone is along the road, a constant stream of porch-sitters, lawn mowers, barbecues, and farm workers, and they are almost always wanting to talk to the weird dude on a loaded-down bicycle. Or give you better directions than Google Maps. Or offer up a patch of land to sleep on for a night.
Where: In practical terms, it is very easy to get out of Baltimore onto the road via bicycle. Very near legit camping can be had a flat and easy 45 miles south at Greenbelt Park, 55 relatively easy miles west in Cunningham Falls State Park or Catoctin Mountain Park, or 50-odd miles north in Codorus State Park by Gettysburg, the town itself being a popular stop-off for cyclists. (Though offering more in the way of cheap motels than close-in camping.) My first tour took me about 80 miles into Pine Grove Furnace State Park, a bit north and west of Gettysburg in a pretty, wide mountain valley. With a sharp 1,000-foot climb at the end, you could say I overextended.
Food: First, get enough of it. Figure you're killing at least 5,000 calories in a day while touring, versus your usual 2,000. You can get a small camp stove pretty cheap but, honestly, I've generally just bought things that didn't require cooking to munch, like hummus or pre-made sandwiches.
Camping gear: Lightweight is better, of course. For less than $200, you can get a small one-person tent light enough to pack on a bike. I use a tarp and sleep on top of it with a sleeping bag and Thermarest mat or, in rain, string the tarp between the bike and a tree. The tarp cost $5 and gets the job done. A shitty cheap sleeping bag will weigh several times more than a good one, and freeze you if it gets wet. A necessary investment.
Bike: I use an old steel racing frame covered in surface rust and chipped paint, converted to a fixed gear. You are probably not this stupid. Surly's Long Haul Trucker, going for about a grand new, is the touring gold standard. But, obviously, you don't need a super specialized bike: something steel and sturdy, and reasonably light. You do need a rear rack, at least, and a set of panniers, i.e. the bags that hang off either side of a rack. To carry more stuff, get a front rack and front panniers as well.

Buckcherry Sorry Lyrics
Last updated: 05/30/2012 11:00:00 AM
Oh I had a lot to say was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me want to die
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue, I'm sorry about all things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds, and baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry:
This time I think I'm to blame it's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame
Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried it's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry!
Thanks to email@example.com for submitting Sorry Lyrics.

Apparently, this is a perfect place to complain about your relationship problems - a lyrics site.
Please see a counselor, or talk to someone on the internet, instead of crying in the comments at the bottom of a lyrics webpage. What do you think is going to happen if you post your problems here? Someone will take pity on you?
Just thought I'd say that :) please talk to a friend or counselor.

I miss you | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/1/11
I'm sorry. I know it was the right decision to break up with you, but it's so hard.
The hardest part about leaving is you is knowing eventually you won't care. The hardest part about leaving you is knowing you're already not there. In a way, I hate everything relating to us. And in a way, I love it more than anything.
real men | Reviewer: Sarah | 11/14/11
i just wanna know how it is so easy for that sexy man to sing his guts out, but our men cant seem to even SAY the words sorry when they r wrong... if they would just admit to their mistakes alot of times, we wouldnt get so pissy and fight with them....

a thought | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/3/11
Have you ever realized that the person you "loved" was really not what they made you think. They put on a show to get you to believe they were something that you wanted. Then, when it all ends and the real person comes out, you realize you were an idiot for believing all the lies. You really and truly were the biggest mistake of my life that I will never make again.
Question | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/24/11
Do you enjoy being a cunt? Do you enjoy trying to ruin my life or make me feel uncomfortable? I don't want to be bothered by you. I don't have much longer, please don't push me into doing something stupid.

Don't you think I think it is kind of weird/creepy that your friends (i.e. Sarah Moore) show up in my classes (i.e. art 020). Just leave me alone. I wouldn't take you back even if you wanted me back. Let me be. Go off and do your nasty thing without me. I am thing of the past that you ruined.

I'm sorry... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/11
Well, my exboyfriend and I were together for almost three years and I loved him with all my heart, and still do. The shitty part is that a "friend" broke us up and it was the day of my uncles funeral. I tried to talk to him and everything. He said he couldn't believe I did that but I never did anything. Then he recently tells me that I'm the first girl he's had feelings for after a break up then goes and gets a girlfriend. I cried for hours. He said I hurt him bad and me wanted me to feel bad the way he did. So I lay here in hears saying sorry but your too childish to text back.
good song. | Reviewer: annonomo | 7/27/11
I made the biggest mistake of my life leaving the man of my dreams because I was so insecure. Any time anything went wrong I was afraid he was going to leave me and I didn't want him to leave me so I left him. We had a pretty good relationship for the most part. He was amazing.with my child. It's been months and he says he'd never take me back because I hurt him so bad but I wish he would understand that id never do it again. He is the mM I aNy to spend the rest of my life with! I'm sorry! I never regret things I just go with the flow but leaving him is my biggest regret. I still love that man with everything I've got.
Whatever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/3/11
You want to be a jerk about it? Fine. I just thought I would tie it up, end with a friendly 'hello, hope you're well' apology. But you're too stubborn and childish to even message back. That's fine. Have a nice life.

Tony Kirby is in love with Alice Sycamore, but when he brings his parents to dinner at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening, it looks like his blooming romance might be in jeopardy. Though the Sycamores seem crazy at first, it's not long before we learn that if they are crazy, the rest of the world is even crazier.
The Mineola Chief's 7-year-old's played at home on Sunday and beat the Garden City Thunder 20-6 in front of a crowded Hampton Field. This brings their record to 5-1-1.

Now that the season is over, it is time to review the last five months. This is our yearly look back at what went right and what went wrong during the 2013-14 season.
In talking with the traveling media throughout the year, you get a sense of what life can be like on the road in the NBA. For the Magic media, the trip to Minneapolis came early for the Timberwolves' home opener back in October. The two sister franchises were celebrating their 25th Anniversary seasons.
The Magic had a lot planned to celebrate. The Timberwolves? Well, there was not much history to celebrate. And the biggest part of the team's history was still playing — albeit for the Nets now. There were no championships to honor or legends to bring back.
In that sense, Orlando is incredibly lucky to have had so much to celebrate to mark its 25th Anniversary Season.
It started on Opening Night with the unveiling of a new introduction video that showed classic highlights from the team's great players and its most memorable plays. The team invited Tracy McGrady back that opening night and he soaked in the love from the Magic fan base. It seemed all demons had been exorcised and McGrady could finally be welcomed home.
The same eventually went for players like Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, Horace Grant, Sam Vincent, Dennis Scott, Pat Garrity, Jeff Turner, Bo Outlaw and Darrell Armstrong.
It culminated with the unveiling of the Magic Hall of Fame, and its two inaugural members — Nick Anderson and Pat Williams.
It was a great celebration of the Magic and its history and the team did so many things throughout the year to commemorate the franchise's history. It was a natural and proud mix of nostalgia to go along with the hope for the future. There were some great promotions and some great looks back at the history of the organization.
As someone who grew up watching the Magic, I was very much immersed in the team's history. It was fun reliving a lot of those memories and uncovering some of the stories from the past years.
It is not great that the season highlights was welcoming back McGrady and Hardaway. I am sure the Magic imagined they would be competing for a championship like they were five years ago for the 20th Anniversary.
What was great about these little moment was that it was officially the time for fans to forgive the bitter exits for players like McGrady and Hardaway. Both mentioned trepidation over the reception they would receive on their nights. Both got standing ovations. Nostalgia has certainly replaced some hard feelings for those two players. Time heals all wounds.
It was also great to see the Magic recognize the former Magic players and coaches as they came in to the Amway Center. It was somewhat comical sometimes watching highlights from players like Zaza Pachulia as they came in. But it was also nice celebrating the contributions from Marcin Gortat, Dwight Howard, Vince Carter and Matt Barnes. All the fan favorites — and one villain who still deserved some appreciation of giving the Magic some great years.
It was a great celebration. You only wish more wins could have accompanied it. But looking back at Magic history should have given longtime Magic fans a tremendous sense of pride.
A lot has happened and a lot has been built in the last 25 years. Certainly something worth celebrating.

UPDATED: Monday, February 4, 2013 --- 6:00 p.m.
An identity theft suspect is in custody after trying to open a credit card under a second assumed identity at the same store in less than a week.
On Sunday, an Old Navy staffer at the store near East Towne Mall in Madison thought a customer looked familiar. The woman tried to open a credit card. The staffer realized it was the same person who had opened another account a few days before, under a different identity, and walked away with $1,000 in gift cards.
Police believe the suspect was using a doctored Vermont drivers license. Receipts indicate she may have bought thousands of dollars in gift cards from other local stores under other identities, possibly traveling outside the state to cash them in on unsuspecting businesses.
"These thieves are professionals," said Joe Campana, who advises businesses on how to prevent and recover from identity theft. "An inexperienced thief will go in and do something like that the first time, and very likely get caught, but an experienced thief will be testing and seeing 'Hey, is this gonna work?' They'll do $20 gift certificates."
The Old Navy suspect, who authorities are still trying to identify, purchased cards from at least five stores in Madison including a Boston store where she walked away with $1,000 credit.
"It's cheap for a crook, it's relatively easy, doesn't require any kind of investment in terms of a computer or modem or anything like that," said Wisconsin Trade and Consumer Protection Administrator Sandy Chalmers. "They may not realize it until months later and in the meantime the thief has continued to open up new lines of credit and bank accounts or home loans in your name."
Chalmers says a call to one of the three major credit reporting agencies should be among a victim's first. That can limit what accounts can be opened in your name. She also recommends not carrying your social security card number on your person.
Fraud cases claim about $2 billion every year in the US, a quarter of the cases involving credit cards.

Address: 2348 East Springs Dr. (Old Navy store)
Arrested: Bathshuwa M. Edwards, age 24, St. Paul, MN
Suspect was arrested for Fraudulent Use of Financial Transaction Card - 6 counts, Forgery - 4 counts, Resisting/Obstructing - 1 count.
Details: Her face looked very familiar. An employee at Old Navy, 2348 East Springs Dr., had seen the woman before, in fact, just last week. Only during the past visit the woman was using different identification, and a different name to open an Old Navy credit card account.
She took immediate advantage of the new account by purchasing two $500 gift cards. With suspicions escalating during the woman's return visit yesterday afternoon, Old Navy staff thought it prudent to notify the MPD. When an officer arrived, the suspect was still in the process of trying to open another credit card account.
She provided the officer with a Vermont driver's license. It was later determined to be doctored. It contained the suspect's photo, but another women's identification. The investigating officer found the suspect had receipts for numerous gift cards, worth several thousand dollars, from various stores: JCPenney, Boston Store, Victoria's Secret, Best Buy and Macy's.
The initial investigation indicates the suspect may have taken out credit cards at stores on both the east and west sides of Madison. A Boston Store loss prevention officer said a woman, believed to be the same suspect, used an Arizona driver's license to take out 2 $500 gift cards on January 26th.
The gift cards were subsequently used at Chicago area stores to purchase merchandise, primarily cosmetics. The suspect refused to provide any information Sunday. During the booking process, a Dane County deputy was able to determine two more aliases that the suspect has used.
Those would be in addition to the two identities used to take out the recent credit cards. The suspect was booked on the name listed above; however, the arresting officer noted that the FBI's finger print identification system should be used for positive identification of the suspect. Law enforcement records show she likely has connections to St. Paul, Chicago, and now Madison.

Back in 2001 myself and my old Leicester Tigers team mate Benny Kay made our debuts for England… and two years later we both had Rugby World Cup winners' medals around our necks after an unforgettable victory in Sydney.
The same path to World Cup glory is available to every young player and that road to 2015 for some could start during this season's LV= Cup.
Players are bigger, faster, stronger than they were 12 years ago so all the players know that a big performance in the LV= Cup could be just the springboard they need to bring them to the attention of England head coach Stuart Lancaster or one of his international colleagues.
You can see from Stuart's recent selections that no one is guaranteed their place in the World Cup squad and that after seeing the squad he picked for the Autumn Internationals it is definitely based on form and not on reputation.
I thoroughly enjoyed last season's LV= Cup and if you look at the list of those players selected on the shortlist for LV= Breakthrough Player Award, you can see guys who could easily be playing for their country at the World Cup in 2015.
The eventual winner of last season's LV= Breakthrough Player Award was Exeter Chiefs' Jack Nowell; a major prospect and has the ability to play either full back or wing. other contenders Tom Heathcote has already been recognised by Scotland, while Luke Wallace is a guy who clearly has the pedigree to play Test rugby.
It was very tough picking out four young players to watch, but in the end I came up with a quartet (below) who I believe could use this season's LV= Cup as a platform to kick off an international career that could include a World Cup in two years' time.
This season the LV= Cup has a big Friday night kick-off, with five matches on that first day, the pick of the bunch live on Sky Sports when the Leicester Tigers host Ospreys in the rerun of a past final.
I am particularly interested to see how Dafydd Howells fares in this season's competition. Despite his age, Dafydd has all the attributes you would hope to see of a promising winger. He will be pitted against the next generation of Tigers, who will be keen to set down a marker at Welford Road in front of what is certain to be a big crowd.
The opening round of games sees some big matches, and will undoubtedly set the tournament up to be another cracker. It is a chance for silverware, so the cup mentality will be there from the off. I was very impressed with the matches I saw in the competition last season and especially the final, which was a fitting climax to a great tournament. This year the final will be at Sandy Park, Exeter, a stadium that will grace the Rugby World Cup in two years' time, alongside some of the players on show this season.
Luke Cowan-Dickie – Exeter Chiefs
Dafydd Howells – Ospreys
Charlie Walker – Harlequins
Owen Williams – Leicester Tigers

Steve MacNaull Visits Watermark
Journalist Steve MacNaull's recent visit to Watermark Beach Resort became the topic for a story that appeared in The Edmonton Journal Newspaper online and also appeared on Canada.com, and the websites of The Calgary Herald, Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province and Montreal Gazette.
Watermark Beach Resort operates as a resort condominium hotel which means all of the suites and townhouses will eventually have owners, who can then put their suites into the rental pool which allows the resort to operate like a hotel.
MacNaull's story focuses on the Owning at Watermark aspect of the resort. Read Welcome To Canada's Hot Spot for Fun by Steve MacNaull.

Sleeper is a 1973 futuristic comic science fiction film, written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman, and directed by Allen. The plot involves the adventures of the owner (played by Woody Allen) of a health food store who is cryogenically frozen in 1973 and defrosted 200 years later in an ineptly-led police state. The film contains many elements which parody notable works of science fiction.
Miles Monroe (Woody Allen), a jazz musician and owner of the "Happy Carrot" health-food store in 1973, is subjected to cryopreservation without his consent, and not revived for 200 years.[2] The scientists who revive him are members of a rebellion: 22nd-century America seems to be a police state, ruled by a dictator about to implement a secret plan known as the "Aries Project". The rebels hope to use Miles as a spy to infiltrate the Aries Project, because he is the only member of this society without a known biometric identity.
The authorities discover the scientists' project, and arrest them. Miles escapes by disguising himself as a robot, and goes to work as a butler in the house of socialite Luna Schlosser (Diane Keaton). When Luna decides to have his head replaced with something more "aesthetically pleasing," Miles reveals his true identity to her, whereupon Luna threatens to give Miles to the authorities. In response, he kidnaps her and goes on the run, searching for the Aries Project.
Miles and Luna fall in love, but Miles is captured and brainwashed into becoming a complacent member of the society, while Luna joins the rebellion. The rebels kidnap Miles and perform reverse-brainwashing, whereupon he remembers his past and joins their efforts. Miles becomes jealous when he catches Luna kissing the rebel leader, Erno Windt (John Beck), and she tells him that she believes in free love.
Miles and Luna infiltrate the Aries Project, wherein they quickly learn that the national leader had been killed by a rebel bomb ten months previously. All that survives is his nose. Other members of the Aries Project, mistaking Miles and Luna for doctors, expect them to clone the leader from this single remaining part. Miles steals the nose and "assassinates" it by dropping it in the path of a road roller.
After escaping, Miles and Luna debate their future together. He tells her that Erno will inevitably become as corrupt as the Leader. Miles and Luna confess their love for one another, but she claims that science has proven men and women cannot have meaningful relationships due to chemical incompatibilities. Miles dismisses this, saying that he does not believe in science, and Luna points out that he does not believe in God or political systems either. Luna asks Miles if there is anything he does believe in, and he responds with the line, "Sex and death — two things that come once in a lifetime — but at least after death you're not nauseous."[3] The film ends as the two embrace.

Jackie Mason (as voice of one of the robot tailors)[4] and Douglas Rain (voice of the Evil Computer[3]) appear in uncredited roles.
The film was shot in and around Denver, Colorado. The outdoor shots of the hospital were filmed at the Table Mesa Laboratory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. There is also a cameo appearance of the main building of the Denver Botanic Gardens and of the signature concrete lamp posts. The Sculptured House, designed by architect Charles Deaton, is a private home known locally since the film was shot as the "Sleeper House" located on Genesee Mountain near Genesee Park, west of Denver. The Mile Hi Church of Religious Science[5] in Lakewood, Colorado was turned into a futuristic McDonald's, featuring a sign counting the number sold: the digit 1 followed by more than twenty zeroes.[6]
Vincent Canby, in The New York Times, called the film "terrific", saying it "confidently advances the Allen art into slapstick territory that I associate with the best of Laurel and Hardy. It's the kind of film comedy that no one in Hollywood has done with style in many years, certainly not since Jerry Lewis began to take himself seriously. Sleeper is a comic epic that recalls the breathless pace and dizzy logic of the old two-reelers."[7] Roger Ebert gave the film 3½ out of four stars, saying Allen "gives us moments in Sleeper that are as good as anything since the silent films of Buster Keaton."[2]
In 1974, the film was awarded the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation at Discon II, the 32nd World Science Fiction Convention, in Washington, D.C.[8]
In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Sleeper the 30th greatest comedy film of all time. That same year, the American Film Institute listed Sleeper as 80th among its 100 Years… 100 Laughs.
In October 2013, the film was voted by the Guardian readers as the tenth best film directed by Woody Allen.[9]
Film as tribute[edit]
The film contains several plot points which parody or spoof several well-known works of science-fiction, most notably H. G. Wells' The Sleeper Awakes and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.[citation needed] Another direct homage/parody is the use of actor Douglas Rain (best known as the voice of HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey) to voice the evil computer in Sleeper.[3]
In an interview published in 2007, Allen stated that Sleeper is mainly a comedic tribute to the comedians whom he deeply admires: Benny Hill and Bob Hope.[10]
- Margaret Keane's "Big Eyes" paintings are also parodied in the film, where Allen suggests that by the year 2173 Keane paintings would finally be appreciated by the cultural elite (it seems he was only off by about ±173 years...)
Alternate versions[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (August 2013)
There are two known cuts of Sleeper. The first, seemingly original cut, contains a dinner scene shortly after Miles and Luna return to the house where Miles was originally taken after revival. In the dialogue-less scene, Miles eats in time with a piano soundtrack while Luna watches him in amazement. A different scene is substituted for the former in another cut, distributed in the United States, in which Miles shaves using a high-tech mirror and accidentally tunes into the view from the mirror in another bathroom. The latter cut is on the MGM 2000 DVD, which has both a widescreen and full-screen version of the film, a trailer, Spanish dubbing, and French subtitles.
The network television version cuts the scene in which Miles and Luna discover a 1990s newspaper with the headline "Pope's Wife Gives Birth to Twins".

KColl tells all
Photographer and Smile for Camera co-founder Kevin Collier on DJs, dance nights and promoting the Orlando club scene
Published: March 22, 2012
ITunes will probably come in the near future, but we are focused on getting our artists' material directly to the DJs. I don't think many DJs purchase music from iTunes. That's more for the music listener rather than the music producer.
We will probably press some sampler CDs to start, handing out at our events and especially at our Winter Music Conference showcase down in Miami [on March 24]. Our first WMC event, by the way! It's very exciting.
What is the wildest thing that you've personally witnessed at one of your events?
I'm not sure if I recall something specific from one of my events, but being in the nightlife scene I've seen a bunch of fights, a bunch of bouncers choking people out, a glass pane punched through, a bunch of nipples and vaginas (usually just in photos), lots of people actin' a fool, a bum masturbating in an alley, people having sex at an after-party to one of our events and someone dragging a stanchion with balloons attached to it about 50 feet down a street in Miami.
Excluding your residents DJs, who has been your favorite artist to work with?
We've been fortunate enough to book a lot of DJs who are really down to earth, fun and humble. Tittsworth was a fucking blast to chill with. He's the first DJ to come to Takeovr at the beginning and hang out at the bars and talk to people and take pics with people. Dillon Francis is one wild dude. I won't go into details, but that guy can definitely party. Dada Life were really cool, too. They actually hooked us up backstage to the Beatport parties last year in Miami. Justin Martin was super awesome, too. Stereoheroes are one of my faves.
It's surprising to me the amount of DJs that could have huge egos but don't.
Last year Smile for Camera ventured into the nu disco genre with a show with Shit Robot, Galactique and Adam Wright at Firestone. Are there any plans to explore the genre further?
Nu disco is my favorite genre. I just wish Orlando was ready for it. I would love to help push this genre in town like we're helping push the moombahton movement in Orlando, with the likes of Dr. Khan, Ma-less, Frandomeda and Bigmakk.
I want to get an event together with [DJs] Cliff Tangredi, Adam Wright and hopefully Pauly Crush to do some sort of nu-disco event. I drunkenly facebooked Pauly the other night about doing a festival. [laughs] That's a massive undertaking, but I would love to put together a regular event sometime down the line.

More Data Emerges on Non-degree Credentials
A new publication from the federal Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 tracks the attainment of a variety of credentials, including undergraduate certificates, as well as workforce participation and earnings.
This report shares data collected in 2012 for the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002), describing the outcomes of the study cohort at about age 26. By this age, the respondents included the following (industry certifications were not tracked):
Of respondents who had earned an associate's degree or undergraduate certificate, or had enrolled in some postsecondary education but not completed a credential, 81 percent were working for pay compared to 89 percent of those with a bachelor's degree.
When it comes to earnings, the percentage making at least $20 per hour included:
This release came just days prior to a Census report exploring the attainment of certifications, postsecondary certificates and licenses. The increased interested in unpacking the "some college" category to find out more about people with non-degree credentials, and their employment and earnings outcomes, is very welcome!

Matthew Birt says:
Honda has said it would give serious consideration to offering Casey Stoner the opportunity to step out of retirement and race in at least two MotoGP rounds in 2013.
There has been speculation that Stoner could ride a factory Honda RC213V machine in a bid to extend his phenomenal winning record on home soil at Phillip Island, while also taking part...

CHRainmaker - Youre right ! Casey certainly has got under a lot of peoples skin on these forums.They can't stand the fact that Casey could beat Rossi.The same goes for Lorenzo,but Lorenzo plays Rossi at his own game with the media unlike Casey who spoke his mind regardless.Casey always said what he thought while Jorge thinks it but says nothing & looks good.
Casey is like Marmite,you either love him or hate him but either way you should respect him for his raw talent & riding ability.The guy is a Legend in my opinion & deserves a little respect.

I guess all we need to do now is wait for Stoner to deny it'll happen..then we'll know it's true.
Mate..as a race fan I hope it happens, and it paves a way for him to return. Fkin V8's is a joke. Casey is a bike racer and he belongs in our paddock.
It just makes me laugh to see all you little fangirls jumping up and down and rushing to defend him without a plan, when it's pointed out that Stoner really hasn't got a clue what he wants. He may look the part..all married up, a beautiful baby girl, big bank balance, nice house..but he's still a kid and very immature, a bit like most of his fans.
Here's a bit of bedtime viewing shag..and no wanking into the wee hours either, else I'll be on the phone to your Mum.

''If Stoner took him to the cleaners after an extended sabbatical, Valentino and his fans would have no where to hide from the embarrassment of it all.''
Hypethetical - but hey man hang on to that thought - it's all you've got till it happens. lol
I'm not suggesting it would happen, the chances are it won't. But I just thought it amusing that it was dismissed as having "no merit" if it were to happen - when of course we all know, every rider on that grid would do their utmost to blow Stoner into the weeds, particularly Rossi. I hope it does happen, it's a juicy thought...

You may giggle but..what if he skittled a load of Championship contenders?..making the title race null & void?..all the effort & sponsorship dollar to that point, literally up in smoke?
For what?..so Casey could say he won another meaningless race and CHR & Pacey could rub cocks?
Do me a favour..or at least let me watch.
Shouldn't he have some sort of Super licence that needs a stamp..like a pilot with his hours?
Behave yourselves daftlads..
It's one thing having a Jap test rider lapping with the CRT bikes..quite another having a race rusty Casey Stoner in charge of a guided exocet with the red mist down. We all know he pushes over the limit and crashes too often?
No..definitely not. I'm going to put a stop to this silly train of thought with a petition to Uncle Carmelo.

Today's Best Dressed is a Burberry-tastic special from Christopher Bailey's S/S '11 show (you can still see the collection in full by clicking on the pink bit here) and, surprise surprise, pretty much everyone's wearing Mr. Bailey's finest from A/W '10!
Keeping it khaki were Cat Deeley and Alexa Chung. Alexa described her look as 'Land Girls' rocked a military shirt and skirt combo with a Peter Pan collar and frayed hemline, which she's paired with a cute metallic studded shoulder bag. Cat went for a belted, metal-buttoned jacket with skinny black jeans and the Deeley trademark of lots and lots and lots of big hair.
Star wattage was provided by the luminous Sarah Jessica Parker, who looked positively glowing in the afternoon sunshine. SJP opted for leather and lace, in a double breasted coffee leather jacket over a ruffle detail lace dress, which she paired with (naturellement) some killers Nicholas Kirkwood heels and a baby pink studded McQueen Novak bag – a subtle nod to the late Alexander McQueen, who's memorial she attended the day before.
Caroline Sieber, meanwhile, was top-to-toe in Burberry A/W '10, pairing her shearling lined ankle boots with a belted, collarless three-quarter ponyskin coat and perfect pins that go on and on and on. Poppy Delevigne brought some colour to the proceedings with a bandage style fuchsia skirt which she matched with a cream vest and buckletastic caramel leather ankle boots.
Finally from Burberry we have the younger Miss. Geldof who broke from the crowd in a black leather biker jacket, super skinny black jeans and leopard print shirt, accessorised with rosary beads, seventeen rings and ginormous crucifix earrings. We like!
