This module corresponds to section 6.2 (Managing Rendering Contexts) of the OpenAL Specification and Reference (version 1.1).
All operations of the AL core API affect a current AL context. Within the scope of AL, the ALC is implied - it is not visible as a handle or function parameter. Only one AL Context per process can be current at a time. Applications maintaining multiple AL Contexts, whether threaded or not, have to set the current context accordingly. Applications can have multiple threads that share one more or contexts. In other words, AL and ALC are threadsafe.

Frequency, specified in samples per second, i.e. units of Hertz [Hz]. Note that the underlying OpenAL API currently uses integral frequencies only, but we want to mirror physical reality here more closely.
data ContextAttribute Source
The application can choose to specify certain attributes for a context at context-creation time. Attributes not specified explicitly are set to implementation dependent defaults.
|Frequency Frequency
Frequency for mixing output buffer, in units of Hz
|Refresh Frequency
Refresh intervals, in units of Hz
|Sync Bool
Flag, indicating a synchronous context
|MonoSources Int
A hint indicating how many sources should be capable of supporting mono data
|StereoSources Int
A hint indicating how many sources should be capable of supporting stereo data
createContext :: Device -> [ContextAttribute] -> IO (Maybe Context)Source
Create a context for a given device and given attributes. Context creation
will fail in the following cases: a) if the application requests attributes
that, by themselves, can not be provided b) if the combination of specified
attributes can not be provided c) if a specified attribute, or the
combination of attributes, does not match the default values for unspecified
attributes If context creation fails,
Nothing will be returned, otherwise
Just the new context. Note that
createContext does not set the current
context, this must be done separately via
currentContext :: StateVar (Maybe Context)Source
Just the current context with respect to OpenAL operation, or
Nothing if there is no current context. Setting it to the latter is useful
when shutting OpenAL down. The state variable applies to the device that the
context was created for. For each OS process (usually this means for each
application), only one context can be current at any given time. All AL
commands apply to the current context. Commands that affect objects shared
among contexts (e.g. buffers) have side effects on other contexts.
processContext :: Context -> IO ()Source
The current context is the only context accessible to state changes by AL
commands (aside from state changes affecting shared objects). However,
multiple contexts can be processed at the same time. To indicate that a
context should be processed (i.e. that internal execution state like offset
increments are supposed to be performed), the application has to use
processContext. Repeated calls to
processContext are legal, and do not
affect a context that is already marked as processing. The default state of a
context created by
createContext is that it is processing.
suspendContext :: Context -> IO ()Source
The application can suspend any context from processing (including the
current one). To indicate that a context should be suspended from processing
(i.e. that internal execution state like offset increments is not supposed to
be changed), the application has to use
suspendContext. Repeated calls to
suspendContext are legal, and do not affect a context that is already
marked as suspended.
destroyContext :: Context -> IO ()Source
Destroy the given context. Note that the the correct way to destroy a
context is to first release it by setting
currentContext to
Nothing. Applications should not attempt to destroy a current context,
doing so will not work and will result in an
ALCInvalidOperation error.
contextsDevice :: Context -> GettableStateVar (Maybe Device)Source
allAttributes :: Device -> GettableStateVar [ContextAttribute]Source
Contains the attribute list for the current context of the specified device.

Juicy New Research on Immune Health
New Study Suggests 100% Grape Juice May Play a Role in a Healthy Immune System
CONCORD, Mass., January 14, 2011 - More than a decade's worth of research suggests that drinking Concord grape juice may benefit the heart.1-8 While emerging research has also pointed to Concord grape polyphenols' possible immune health benefits,9-12 for the first time, a study involving humans reinforces that grape juice made with Concord grapes and vitamin C may play a role in supporting adults' immune system health.
To date, the emerging research on Concord grapes and immune health has involved studies using animal and cell models.9-12 This new research by University of Florida scientists, which was published in the January/February 2011 issue of the Journal of Medicinal Food, is the first study with humans and it points to the opportunity for more research on the possible immune health benefits of grape juice made with Concord grapes.13
Grape Juice and Immune Health
The conclusions drawn suggest that daily consumption of 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes and added vitamin C may help support a healthy immune system in healthy adults, though further research is needed. In their study, 85 adults between the ages of 50-75 years consumed either 12 ounces of 100% grape juice or a placebo, grape-flavored drink every day for 9 weeks. Subjects who consumed the 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes showed significantly higher numbers and increased proliferation of a specific type of immune cell, the gamma delta T-cell, compared to the placebo group. (An increase in gamma delta T-cell proliferation indicates an improved ability for these cells to be primed for action and ready to respond to potential invaders.)
The subjects who consumed the 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes and vitamin C also had significantly higher levels of serum vitamin C, which functions as an antioxidant to support a healthy immune system; maintenance of serum antioxidant capacity levels (while the antioxidant capacity of those consuming the placebo drink dropped over the study period); and significantly lower induced DNA strand breaks versus the placebo, suggesting antioxidant protection against oxidative stressors that can damage healthy cells.
It is important to note that in addition to containing polyphenols, each serving of 100% grape juice made with Concord grapes consumed in this study delivered more than 100% of the daily value for vitamin C. The observed positive effects could be the result of the vitamin C, the polyphenols, or both working together. More research is needed before any conclusions can be drawn.
Expert Outlook
According to study author Dr. Susan S. Percival of the University of Florida in Gainesville, "Plant foods contain an array of vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant nutrients (like polyphenols). And, purple plant foods, such as the Concord grape, deliver natural plant nutrients not found in many other colors of fruits and vegetables." She added, "While this study can't directly pinpoint a specific plant-derived nutrient responsible for the positive results seen, it further supports that a healthy diet, rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, like Concord grapes and 100% grape juice, can support a healthy immune system."

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
2003 Ford Mustang Cobra - Badd Asp
Gary Hamlin's '03 Cobra is a slithering salute to the troops
Even though the world's favorite pony car has frequently worn some form of running horse badge over its multi-decade history, there's little doubt that also sharing a name with the iconic P-51 Mustang—arguably the most capable and aesthetically pleasing Allied fighter aircraft of WWII—hasn't hurt its macho image amongst the car's primary demographic. By comparison, can you imagine anyone ever naming a manly combat aircraft Camaro?
From the time Gary Hamlin Jr. of Hammond, Wisconsin, picked up his new Torch Red Cobra convertible back on July 30, 2002—not long after the obscene terrorist attacks of 9/11—he knew he wanted to someday theme it as a tribute to the American armed forces, who have sacrificed so much to defend not just our own freedom but seemingly that of the whole world. What better way to do that than to make his Mustang resemble, well, a Mustang? Which explains why the front half of Gary's '03 Terminator is now painted to bring to mind the riveted aluminum skin of a P-51D Mustang fighter.
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
"It took five years to imagine a paint scheme to honor our military heroes," Gary said. "It was painted February through April 2009 by X-Treme Paint in Wyoming, Minnesota. I stopped there on a weekly basis to check progress and keep true to my vision." We can only assume that the look of weathered, streaked aluminum, the faux panel lines, and rivet details, the mid-body tear-away scheme dividing the silver and red portions, as well as the trailing yellow flames must have consumed many hours' worth of airbrushing skills.
This WWII aircraft persona continues with the retro, pinup-style nose art on each side of the front fascia forward of the wheelwells, highlighted by this Cobra's catchy nickname: Badd Asp.
The name needs little explanation (except possibly for its spelling) and Gary tells us that the pooch benefitting from the attention of the classic pinup girl is Jazzy, a family pet lost to a brain tumor in 2008. We have to assume that the inspiration for the pinup girl herself is Gary's wife, Tracy.
Tributes aside, for Gary, it's all about getting in and driving his highly distinctive Cobra. "If you see it on a trailer, it's been stolen or is broke," says Gary, and we don't think he's joking. We caught up with the Hamlins at the Sturgis Mustang Rally, which would have been a pretty good jaunt from their Wisconsin residence. Gary was right at home surrounded by fellow 'Stangheads at Sturgis: "I love to talk to people at car shows—especially military vets—and explain the theme and inspiration for the car, and listen to their stories."
And obviously there's more for him to talk about than just the Cobra's paint job. Internally, the Hamlin Terminator's Four-Valve 4.6-liter remains stock and, for now at least, is still fed by a production-style Eaton M-112 Roots blower. But Gary shipped said supercharger—and its lower intake—to Stiegemeier Porting Services in St. Charles, Missouri, for its Stage 6 porting and Snake Bite upgrade (www.stiegemeier.com). The inlet side was also freed up with a BBK twin-65mm throttle body and inlet tube downstream of a C&L 95mm mass-air sensor that Gary tells us he has ported and polished. On the exhaust side, the factory headers remain but feed into a nicely vocal Bassani 3-inch stainless system.
Today such mods may seem minimal (especially within these pages), but there's no arguing their effectiveness. The fighter-themed roadster now has 507 hp and 558 lb-ft of grunt available at the rear tires. Even so, Gary says there's a Kenne Bell 2.8-liter twin-screw blower in his Cobra's future.
Beyond that, the extroverted convertible is lowered and armed with brake upgrades, as well as road-worthy suspension and rolling stock suitable for its two-pronged primary missions of touring and crowd gathering. And, occasionally, it gets attention from unexpected quarters:
"On the way to the Car Craft Summer Nationals," says Gary, "we had a Minnesota state trooper pull out from the median, pull up next to us, and say 'nice car' over his PA, then pull back into the median." Oh, if only all our meetings with law enforcement should be so cordial…

Callaspo for O'Sullivan, Smith
ARLINGTON – A few hours before the start of a crucial four-game series with the front-running Rangers in the American League West, the three-time reigning division champion Angels moved to bolster their offense on Thursday.
Alberto Callaspo, a switch-hitting infielder expected to spend most of his time at third base, was acquired from the Royals in exchange for pitchers Sean O'Sullivan and Will Smith.
Callaspo, 27, is hitting .275 for the Royals this season after batting .300 in 2009 with a career-high 11 homers and 73 RBIs. He has eight homers and 43 RBIs this season. He signed with the Angels in 2001 as a teen in Maracay, Venezuela, and was trade to Arizona for pitcher Jason Bulger. The Royals acquired Callaspo for Billy Buckner.
"He'll be a boost," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He can definitely play third base every day. We'll see how some of the pieces fit. The work he does in the batter's box is special. He can hit. He'll help fill the void Kendry Morales' departure created."
O'Sullivan, 22, held the Yankees to two runs on two hits in six innings in a victory on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. The Angels were 9-2 in the big right-hander's 11 starts over the past two seasons. The San Diegan was a third-round pick in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.
Smith, a 21-year-old native of Georgia taken in the seventh round of the 2007 First-Year Player Draft, is a 6-foot-5 left-hander in his third professional season. He has pitched for high Class A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Arkansas this season and is considered to have high upside.
"This was not by any means an easy decision on Tony's part," Scioscia said, referring to general manager Tony Reagins. "It's not easy to put Sean O'Sullivan or Will Smith in a deal unless we were getting a player who can help us."
Callaspo is expected to join the Angels on Friday night. O'Sullivan, who had been scheduled to pitch Sunday's series finale, likely will give way now to Trevor Bell. Scott Kazmir (shoulder fatigue) is not eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list until Monday, and it is unclear when he'll be ready to rejoin the rotation.
"It's weird," O'Sullivan said, minutes after being informed of the deal by Scioscia. "It's the first time I've ever been traded. The goal is to go to a place where they need you, want you, so you can show you're capable of playing at this level.
"I'm trading red for blue. That's all I know right now." — Lyle Spencer

Wow I am disappointed at this trading pitching (which we need) for a utility guy who is no better than Izzy. Guess we wont make the playoffs this year just not our year I guess next year I guarantee a World Series just not this year!
At first, I was a little iffy about the trade, but I think this helps this year and next. Izzy is a good bat and solid defense, but injury prone. I don't know if he would last the entire season playing everyday. So all in all I like this one. Let's see how this Texas series goes…I think we just need some bull pen help.

Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
Founded in 1884, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology holds world-class collections of art and artefacts from all over the world, representing cultures and histories over millennia.
In 1997 the Museum's entire collection was recognised as a Designated Collection of national importance and in 2013 the museum was shortlisted for the Art Fund's Museum of the Year Prize.
Venue Type:
Open Tuesday - Saturday 10.30am - 4.30pm and Sunday 12.00 - 4.30pm
Closed Bank Holiday Mondays
Free admission
The entire collection of this museum is a Designated Collection of national importance.
This museum was founded in 1884 on the basis of two important collections: the Cambridge Antiquarian Society collection relating to British archaeology; and anthropological artefacts from the South Seas acquired by, among others, the museum's first curator, Baron Anatole von Hügel. The collections now comprise approximately half a million archaeological items and over 150,000 ethnographic objects. Most have been acquired through Cambridge-based research and are exceptionally well documented.
The strengths of the archaeological collections include their worldwide scope and the extensive Palaeolithic and Mesolithic material. Important anthropological collections include artefacts from Cook's first voyage to the Pacific in 1769 and artefacts and photographs from the 1898 Cambridge Expedition to the Torres Strait.

Bornholm disease (also called pleurodynia) is a viral infection that causes pain in the chest or upper tummy and flu-like symptoms.
It usually clears up by itself after a few days, but can sometimes last longer (up to 3 weeks).
Bornholm disease mainly affects children and young adults.
Symptoms of Bornholm disease
The main symptom of Bornholm disease is a severe, stabbing chest pain, which is often worse when you breathe deeply, cough or move.
The pain tends to come and go, with episodes lasting 15 to 30 minutes.
In very severe cases, the pain can make it difficult to breathe and the affected area may be tender.
Other symptoms of Bornholm disease include:
- tummy pain
- high temperature (fever)
- headache
- sore throat
- cough
- aching muscles
These symptoms usually start suddenly and last for a few days. They can sometimes last longer (up to 3 weeks), or they can come and go for a few weeks before eventually clearing up.
When to get medical help
If you have chest pain, it's important to get it checked out, particularly if it's severe and comes on suddenly.
Get more advice about chest pain and when to get medical help.
Bornholm disease can be serious for newborn babies, so if you're in the late stages of pregnancy or have a newborn baby and you've come into contact with someone with the condition, ask your midwife or GP for advice.
Treating Bornholm disease
There's no specific treatment for Bornholm disease. The infection usually clears up on its own within a week.
As the condition is caused by a virus, it can't be treated with antibiotics. You can use over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, to help with any pain.
Newborn babies at risk of getting Bornholm disease may be treated with immunoglobin to make the effects of the virus less severe and help prevent complications. This is only offered on the advice of a specialist.
How the infection is spread
Bornholm disease is very infectious and can be easily spread from one person to another, usually through contact with secretions from the nose or mouth, or the poo of an infected person.
You can get infected by eating or drinking contaminated food or drink, or if you touch contaminated objects such as nappies and then touch your mouth.
This is why it's very important to wash your hands properly and avoid sharing utensils if you or someone close to you has Bornholm disease.
Less commonly, you can catch Bornholm disease by breathing in infected droplets from coughs or sneezes.
As Bornholm disease is so infectious, there are sometimes outbreaks in schools or nurseries.

Ballad of the Monon Bell is Recorded in Nashville
October 15, 1985
[Download Audio: "The Ballad of the Monon Bell - Stereo" - 2514kb]
October 15, 1985, Greencastle, Ind. — One of college football's oldest and most celebrated rivalries now has a song. Today a team of musicians led by Jimmy Ibbotson, a member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and 1969 graduate of DePauw, recorded The Ballad of the Monon Bell in Nashville, Tennessee. The song can be heard here, and will soon be made available to alumni and fans of the annual football game between DePauw and Wabash College, a rivalry which dates back to 1890 and awards the winner the prized railroad bell.
Ballad was the brainchild of Pat Aikman '57, the director of public relations for DePauw. Aikman approached Darel Lindquist '68 to work up a set of lyrics, which he delivered in the spring. The project was then handed to Nancy Ford '57, whose musical credits include Broadway's I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It On the Road. The next link in the chain was Ibbotson, who worked up a country and western arrangement and brought together a group of musical friends for today's recording session. (at right: a shot from the 1959 Monon Bell game)
Lindquist, Ford and Ibbotson have assigned their rights to the new song to the University. It is hoped the song will become a new tradition in a series that is rich with great legends.

We close our eyes because we dowan to see
Her service to that TT Durian lancheow face must be damn solid man! Only got one job in the world can get this kind of promotion and salary. That job is be call Mistress.
We are so stupid, Singaporeans. Everything we also believe. Look! Cannot be one! NKF is got gahmen support so how can be cheat people money!
Actually you want to fuck, I think Durian is not the only fucker to fuck. You want to find the real fuckers of the NKF cheater, it is those Board of Director, people like Richard Yong, Mathilda Chua (Durian favourite girl) and Alwyn Lim. You think they just give Durian power for fun one ah? Of course give Durian so many power is so that they also can enjoy.
The Richard Yong insurance company call Tenet Insurance can get business of $11,000 from NKF. The Mathilda Chua computer company can get computer business of few million dollar from NKF (the cheebye software also never write finish can get paid!). And the Alywn Lim who is also the NKF vice chairman and accountant never tell people he is some Senior Advicer of Shanghai Intelligence Consultants, some China HR company who got $55,000 business from NKF.
Raymond tell me that Alwyn Lim fucker got one PRC mistress in the Shanghai Intelligence Consultants. Nabei no wonder so easy to make money from NKF lah!
Next time remember, you want to get big business from dirty Board of Director of charity, make sure you know how to make his lancheow happy. Do for him the best stunt in the bed, and he will give you all the donation money you want. Look! I can balance my cheebye on your lancheow! Donate to my company! My neh nehs is so big, I lie down also they still stand sedia! Donate donate! See! I know how to suck your cock and rub my cheebye on your face! Donate some more!
10 cent for the poor and the sick. 90 cent for the chanpion fund raiser and cock sucker of the world.
I think Durian also stupid. Must be he join the Lau Goh camp then Lao Lee toolan and buay song, call the Strait Time dogs to go and tear Durian lan cheow also become cheebye hole.
If I am the new NKF, I will change my name now. Put one NEW in front is no use one. People see the name of NKF already want to pui chau nua, you still want to keep the name because of the first NKF CEO who is real good heart one? I think best is change name to No More Durai Kidney Federation, NMDKF. Like this maybe people will trust you again.
Another thing is sell away those expensive puacheebye chair the Durian gang buy for their diamond backside, sell away the beautiful fish tanks I see inside the kidney centre (so which Board of Director mistress is own the fish tank company one ah?), sell away all the golden tap and first class ticket, and use the money to pay back the poor fuckers who kena sue by Durian when they dare to say his bad things. They are the real heros, come and say Durians evil thing, but kena tekan by his lawyers.
Now we know they last time is telling the truth.
You know who else is sian by all this NKF problem? Mediacock. I tell you, the one who make million from NKF is them. Every year do all the charity show, they also earn good money. You think the Zoe Tay and the Fann Wong of the world like to do the cheebye stunt? Lan cheow ok! My friend who got Mediacock mistress tell me, every year, the Singapore star not just have to act their normal tv show, they also have to do all the cheebye stunt for the different charity show Mediacock make money from.
Most of the do stunt star is got no OT (not like NKF Durian and gang), no backpay, no extra money. Mediacock say you must do, means you must do. One year do so many stunt, the only one who make the money is not the actor or actress (and now not even the kidney patient). The one that make the money is Mediacock and NKF Durian gang.
Singaporean need to stop being stupid. We think everything is take care by Gahmen, even charity also will not cheat people. Now we know even Gahmen also can make mistake. The only people you can trust is yourself. So many big company and gahmen department involve, now then they catch NKF.
PWC: I dunno
National Charity Ministry: I dunno
Health Ministry: I dunno
Income Tax Ministry: I dunno
They dunno who fucking know?
NKF last time say, we are make ourself like gahmen, pure and white. Now we know they also follow gahmen style, pay themself high high pay, say themself is the Only Best Charity of Singapore, and use lawyer and court to tekan and sue people dare to say anything bad about them.
When you don't have transparent, the see-until-you-can-see-cheebye kind of transparent, NKF is what you get. But then Singaporean is use to not have transparent. How many of you have seen the gahmen cheebye? You think the gahmen dog call Strait Time will show for you? You can wait long long! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

hat Tulan Of NKF can sue people for saying that he use business class, now those two persons can counter sue him. He deserved to be
screwed by the public, especially by the mediacock actors and actresses for going through those dangerous stunts and only 10 cents go towards the patients. Where the other 90 cents ? Hide inside his kacin or his mistresses cheebye ?

It's not just NKF lah, PAP is like that too.
You think they're genuinely interested in our welfare? ERP fare increase and all that.
Who owns Singapore Press Holdings, SingTel and Singapore Technologies?
He's the local version of Suharto.
PAP is making Singapore into a country that is livable only for the rich. The poor are exploited and forced to work long hours. No choice.
Civil servants get 5-day weeks from 6 days? Sounds nice? It just means they work more from Monday to Friday lah!
I have had the good fortune to live in Sydney. It's only when you live overseas that you realise how messed up PAP is. True, Singapore is clean, etc etc but after a while you realise it's all superficial stuff. I'd rather live in a fair society with a bit of litter here and there than a corrupt one that's free of litter.
- Friday, December 23, 2005 8:49:00 PM
Who the fuck is the Anonymous that say NKF is a good organisation? Dun even fucking dare to show your name.
It is the fucking ppl who make an organisation good or bad.. so now,, the high fuckers fuck the lower paid ppl.. how do you wan to rate that?

Rockson, you become MP. Limpei support you. gahmen just like nkf. no transparency. give high salary to justify their ivory towers and sue any muthafucker who crosses their path.
Something wrong immediately say it's honest mistake. hope this one is no more honest mistake cos the real honest mistake card was used up already.
There is only one path and it's for the rich and powerful. If you are not rich or powerful, please take the long kang.
- Friday, December 23, 2005 11:17:00 PM
Singaporeans are blind. Takumi Tan i'm so glad you have this website la. Even though its 90% vulgarities, you say the things that matter most. This country is a private limited company. How can a country have only 10% opposition? They all have legitimate reasons to take money from Singaporeans. Everytime they do, they have some justification for it. Singaporeas: "Government mah, must be right. Cannot do anything much also, later they do something to us." Its sad that we have not much of opposition to check the ruling party. Everytime there is news about opposition, its either to make fun of them or to put them in a negative light. Why are we such meek people? Strength in numbers.

i think we're forgetting that alot schools force their students to donate or go round collecting money with the NKF tins so that the schools would get a certain award from NKF when they attain a certain amount say, $50,000. Imgaine having 200 secondary schools and about $50,000 per school? Now, let's include the amount earned from charity shows and other sources over the years. That's a freaking huge amount.
- Saturday, December 24, 2005 1:35:00 AM

Its so sick that such things happen in Singapore, who will believe that!!! Cheating patient's $$ for their own lavishes and enjoymnet. TOO MUCH MAN!!!!! FUCK CB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SO PISSED man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Saturday, December 24, 2005 5:51:00 AM
You are dame right man – NKF not only need to change name but also must change some of the old staff, like Michelle Ang who talk so bloody good about the chee bye Durai and now still so fucking thick skin staying there. If she stand by her chee bye words then she should fuck off lah otherwise how to call New NKF when they still got those old chee bye people inside. Chinese saying "only change the soup but not the ingredients" so how to trust them har? Also now kenna all gadman depts orso claim they dunno know and as usual lar they will say, "honest mistakes lah", "over look lor", "lets move on", maybe should orso add "more good years to come". Orso funny har - how come this time no one in her own capacity come out to talk about this Durai har? Aiya sorry man maybe she on holiday so dunno all these happening. Sillyporeans - It is time to wake up from our slumbers hor.

I'm sure the government knew about it and were getting some of the $$$ themselves, esp. LKY.
If they bother to do all the research and sue the pants off opposition leaders, how can they not know about this?
- Saturday, December 24, 2005 12:16:00 PM

- Saturday, December 24, 2005 1:52:00 PM
You are a champion, your blog raise some good questions for the wrong doing, which show good thinking. Your analytical way of condamn show good critique.
Singaporeans will have to ask, how many NKF are there? I believe we all don't know, otherwise NKF could not have been deceiving the public for so long. Garment implied nothing much can be done on punishment, because NKF is not a garment body. Our garment is an independance body meh? Only care for its own business to collect taxes from everybodies, what a nonsense, our garment has been very hard on so far all the wrong doings but this time seems a bit different, dunno why lay!
- Saturday, December 24, 2005 2:10:00 PM
NKF is a total letdown -- that i agree. but i think its unfair to let one rotten egg spoil the whole basket of eggs. its unrealistic for the govt to keep track of all govt bodies and affiliated companies. when things go well, few of u praise the govt. when things go wrong, u all start blaming them. is that fair?
i've lived in another cty for a few yrs now, and its only then i realised how much our govt has done for us. to those who has nothing but criticism abt sg, get the hell outta here then. why r u still staying here? go to aussie where u get racial discrimination for being yellow skin, n get to do drugs till u get aids infection or simply enjoy the ecstacy feeling till u suffer a premature death. go on! or go to the states, where u get robbed in broad daylight, or have sch massacres. go on, pack ur stuff and leave. what the hell r u waiting for?
- Saturday, December 24, 2005 2:31:00 PM

hey yah, well said ah! i also agree singapore govt is not too bad already... went Australia for short hols already can feel like 2nd class citizen liao... n i also hear from many from US that they appreciate Sing govt so much more after living at states for a few years...
got good got bad lah. i like that spore is quite developed and advanced and business wise, we are a lot more reliable compared to most other Asian countries... not trying to bad mouth lah, just saying we are very fortunate to be more advanced... u wanna complain, please migrate elsewhere ok?

You look at how people protest in other countries. Most people rather talk and not do anything. I got one friend.. her friend has like a few friends in "This School". One day toa pek gong gong come and talk to them abit then they try and tekkan him a little bit also. Then kenna check background. Their parents so scared lor. One party give you 10,000 the other party give you 4000. People of course kiss the ass of the screwed up higher power that can afford to give 10,000. Those rich people that earn 20k a month get taxed nvm, still got substantial amount to bring home. Poor people also nevermind, got all those helping stuff. Middle income the worst. 4000 income kenna taxed then bring home 2000. Where got enough?! Because people ALLOW the higher power to do such things, thats why justified ways of leeching money from us is condoned. We don't say anything. People even look up to them, say that they're their model example. Bull shit i tell you.

Sometimes PAP does or say things that really insult the people's intelligence.
How can the government be powerless to punish NKF? If the EU can fine Microsoft $2.4M a day for abuse of monopoly, how can SG govt not do anything about it? They're in cahoots lah.
BTW it's not true that Aussie treat you as a 2nd class citizen. I don't know which city you were in, but I've been in Sydney for 5 years now and everything is ok.

Wat a stupid idiot, he expect to go everywhere in the world and feel like he is a citizen everywhere? WAHAHAHA!!!

hey everybody, merry xmas!
from the things i gathered, the whole thing started off as incidental. dulan is a genuis, smart n creative guy, he managed to rake in huge dough so much dough that the board was shocked n wondered what to do with the surplus when at that moment they had only few patients.evil thoughts invaded the board, n they decided to pay dulan more, pay increments, incentives, bonuses to keep this smart ass around to rake in more peanuts for them.
the admin staff who handled all aspects of accounts, management of the day to day operation, they too might leak out to the world abt their merry money gernerating methods, were stuffed w big dough in their mouths, so that all will be well. i strongly believed the gahmen knew what was happening as i believed they were funded from nkf in someway or another.
come to think of it...this whole operation reminds me of the italian mafia n jap secret society. when the owner in the household enjoys big pizza, everyone in the house gets fed...including the pests. $$$ were stuffed here n there to have many more good years, till someday someone ruin the whole game.
aiya, somehow, this is all very political. the degree of ultimate transparency can never be attained, even w the gahmen. auditors n staff also bullshit, human also them, ghost also them. everything they say, we have to accept. unless they get the UN admin to audit n monitor under the human rights act. but who knows, gahmen n them good frens, kelong is highly possible.
is all polictics, n this is a dirty world....
- Sunday, December 25, 2005 2:23:00 PM
sigh...we all should have worked w nkf long time ago...then can get chance to fly 1st class n stay 5 star hotel...but come to think of it, nabei...is very chek ark one. cos the $$$ came from all walks of life, not only u n me, but pple who were sick, young, old folks n pple who lost their jobs n yet feeding the nkf needy top level pple.
sometimes i wonder, how much $$$ did each and individual ministers donate to nkf n any charitabe organisations.
n i also very too lan that the impression they gave us was that there were so many pple w kidney failure n suddenly the whole singapore got kidney failure...thats y all of us donated, when i found the figure was only 1700 plus patients...i wanna hood them liao. got surplus, then donate to the medical research association to come up w solutions, cure or pay for the bills la!
really dun get it, if pple really r sick, got no ability to generate anymore income, yet nkf got so much $$$ y not help pay their medical n hospitalisation bills. y organisations like renci can do it? they have free clinics n free hospital.
the more i say the more i too lan...better pray for good health

i swear by never to donate to nkf some 6years back. why? i have many nephews and neices. They used to bring home the nkf donation cards given by their schools. It was convetional 20 columns card where you can donate whatever amount you wish to. I helped them fill up by bringing to my friends. I am sure many parents had done that for their kids in their offices. Till they started printing allocated amounts in the card, if I remember clearly the min amount was $2 and ranged to $50. Isn't this forcing?
I was totally disgusted with that and around the same time, I heard that they had their own building, nice one somemore, then I suspected that it was all a cover up scam. That was when I boycotted nkf and its subsidiaries. I chose other organisations to donate instead.

to the dude who wrote abt school children being forced to donate... I just want to share my story... that was before this whole scandal happened, one fine day I was in bedok central, walking along the car park near hawker center. this mum and gal in front of me approached me, at first i thought they asking me direction or something, and when get closer, the mum, with that kind shy shy and embarassing look, asked me to help donate her gal's card (NKF one of couse). Like the previous dude, i hv not donated to nkf long time liao, but i just felt want to help the poor mum and daughter. They are obviously the under average group family, non-english speaking, didn't wear very nice one, and the way they spoke, can tell they were obviously not from our 'elite' level, hardly making ends meet people. Reminded me of my own old poor primary school days, although still hv donation thing last time, but definitely not as many as this motherfucker nkf and others now, I sure can emphatize with them. I just hope my few dollars helped release their burden a bit. If the student come from a better to do family, they definitely can get the card fill up quick, whether by their own parents or friends of the same calibre. This is just another small incident of this whole fiasco.

i am quite confused why some people just like to connect with the gahmen when durian is the sole planner of the whole NKF saga. the only reason i can think of is this people are simply from the opposition party or foreigner. i suggest for those who have hatred on gahmen for individual reason, pls do not stir up your problem here. we can discuss abt social affairs here but not to put your personnal hatred to garmen just becoz you didn't benefit any from garmen.
- Monday, December 26, 2005 9:42:00 AM
Wah lau what so brave abt speaking the truth and if everyone just fuck the gadmen will go to jail, another ten Changi Prisons orso not enough lah. Just go to Sammy's Boy.com and they been here for years and everyday so many people fucked the Gadmen upside down and down side up and they are still around mah, where got go to jail. Every things orso scare that is why people call us Sillyporean. Educated people orso like the old anties or uncles, say a bit abt the fucking Gadmen only will go to jail. Veri Sai suay man.

people like to call us silly and stupid becoz our heart are too good. we donated money to huang na's mother to bring back to her own country to build her own empire. we donated money to durian to enjoy his first class life. are we doing this at our own will and making ourselves stupid? somemore, we have our spore minister of australia dr chee bye opposing his own country people.

Some people didn't know that some of the NKF dialysis machines were donated by some kind hearted companies' directors and not all bought by NKF. We must give donation to the needies directly to their hands. Many of the donation boxes are locked probably it would be openned by the person who has the key and the money don;t know goes to where loh .
- Tuesday, December 27, 2005 2:02:00 PM
watever it is, i will nevr donate to NKF even if it change name or not. they have millions stashed away. i dont even have a million to my name. until i have my 1st million, then i'll consider helping anyone again.
- Tuesday, December 27, 2005 2:28:00 PM
I hope the stoopid Singaporeans will still remember the $5000 dun do NS, and the NKF, and all the fuck thing that happened when it comes to election...
Oh yes, they'll remember... but what other choices do they have other than the current one?
you choose the lousy one, or you choose the lousier one, sometimes you dun even need to choose, they call your area a walk-over.... the gahmen walk over you like a piece of shit, they'll just clean you off with the newspapers they own....

Those Ass of Old NKF reali deserve to be insult by the public. Earning money is already damn fucking hard, and yet people tried to squeeze out some for the sick ones. But what every kind soul get in the end?
I think all Singaporean shld not donate to ANY organsiation until they showed the country their FUCKING CLEAR finanical report quarterly!
May the Durian gang of NKF, DIE IN HELL! You are a CEO of charity organsiation and not some fucking big biz company, so you n your fucking gang doesnt deserve to get such a fucking high pay! CB KIA, u understand?

this is really good rockson, there must be some focus in the investigation and really it must not allow the whole gang to get away with it. durian must be addressed but as you have rightly commented, the whole committee and favourite people must also not be forgotten. I guess if the government was lacking as well as the auditors, then they too should be reprimanded, or is that just wishful thinking?
- Wednesday, December 28, 2005 1:52:00 AM
I agree with the fact that Durai and Gang need to be brought to justice...if not for anything else (everything seems to have been lagally done) but for moral justice. Just want to point out though that it was with the help of ST journalist Susan Long (I think that's her) that Durai's shit was made known to the public.

When they sell call ctr away, only increase 1 gal call Sushi pay b4 handing whole set a/cs to new coy. Izzit same like NKF? Now I wonder if tt Sushi got share in NKF bo.

The garmen control everything lah, they use the media to whip everybody incl you rockson into a mad frenzy which also help to feed their main objective, which if you think abt it , we are not so different from those uneducated kampung melayu in malaysia you see at their election or political rallies, and we are starting to resemble the MOB which the ancient romans had which they manupliated from time to time to further their political agendas. wake up Sillyporeans.
All Durai did was abuse his position, remember he is a trained lawyer, I'm sure he knows what he can or cannot do within limits. Mebbe he screw all the pretty ger in NKF, mebbe he used his position to enrich heself materially to enjoy all the high class things, mebbe he ruled NKF like his little kingdom but ask yourself which CEO or people in power don't do most of that, mebbe some of your company bosses also liddat, I'm very sure my ex and current boss doing that, sure this is a charity and in the eyes of the people that is big sin, but in the eyes of the court this is only a sin and not criminal.
The most he will kanna is tio pok, which happen already.

But we shouldnt condemn the innocent. Such as the healthcare workers and all that. They didn't know a thing.
Condemn the guilty, but give the innocent a break la. They weren't even involved.

actually this is a good incident... pple always get the idea that we singaporeans no balls to stand out on our own
say we scared of our gahmen and accept stupid things like ban chewing gum and recently hanging pple...
but this incident basically show that we singaporeans will stand up against what is wrong and not for meaningless things...
we all understand the need for charity and thats why du lan that the $$$ did not reach the pple in need
and not fucking hold banners standing on the street just to hope that a law is passed or not...
i also used to think that singaporeans are too nuah to response to anything, but this incident tell pple dun fuck around with us, otherwise we throw egg at your office and force your ka chng open until can see your brains..
when we see something wrong we will MAKE the changes...gahmen or not, NKF or SOS. Cheaters or NS deserters...
piss us off and you will see...
thats why election kana hentakaki also right? why?not we scared of them, but they scared of us...

u all realize hor now nkf kena sai is bcoz it cannot force the public to donate. That's why gahmen kan cheong bcoz if no one donate the burden will fall on them stingy arses. Ppl now kpkb over nkf gahmen also allow them to kpkb, but think a bit further if anyone wan to go and ask gahmen to open their temasek accounts, GIC, CPF, HDB, MOE, all the stat boards to be transparent and independent check and balance the gahmen will swoop down and sue your asses! You also wont see SPH or Susan Long ask about GIC or HDB's "golden tap". That's the difference! Ultimately the nkf is pure wayang from the gahmen, just like the White Elephant saga which resulted from PAP's own infighting.

To those who say that they can't see the connection between the governemnt and the NKF fiasco ... I say wake up your fucking idea. There's no fucking way ppl in the government did not know or at least have some idea that this is happening. A fucking simple look at their premises is more than enough. NKF was not being entirely discreet. I simply cannot believe something as horrnedous and big as this was "overlooked" by the government. Despite all the assurances to the later and all the excuses to parlay their innocence ... someone somewhere in the government must have known ... It is so fucking to stupid to feign ignorance ... stop hiding behind the sheets and fiond someone responsible ... even if they truly did not know, I really question their job ability ... to let something like this under their noses for so many years only reeks of complacency .. They are not doing their fucking job! and if they are not, I say they should get punished ... how many NKG patients have suffered for so many years .. how amny? We will never know ... we only know the dollars and cents but we will never know the through anguish ... So fucking sorry is not enough ... who is going to pay for these people sufferings? WHO??????? Durai and the NKF board are definitely the ones ... but I say heads in the government must roll too .. their knuckles need to be rapped for such gross job negligence. Business is business and friends are friends ... these 2 must be kept seperate ... after all you are playing with other ppl's money and other ppl's lifes ... So don't fucking say that my respect and trust in an individual is gone ... I say fuck you. You didn't do your job ... admit it! You fucking didn't do your job!

Instead, those heads who neglected their duties in failing to check on the NKF may have received fatter Performance Bonus. A Performance Bonus, which is not transparent, is paid to different staff at differant rates in government dept.

to the person w the blog named "reality singaporean"....
pls understand the discussion here is more of a social problem then hatred for the govt. i do not wish to offend but pls understand many singaporeans here in this column or out there are disgustingly disappointed at the whole saga...perhaps there might be more which has yet to be uncovered...like the x-files.
we are the ones who appointed and elected this govt to run the country for the people, and thus they must assume every responsibility in really doing their jobs in governing the place, so that is a peaceful, safe and vibrant city to live in. so that we can be proud of sharing the lifestyles we are living to the rest of the world. however, i m one of them who cannot bring mnyself to be as patriotic as i would like to be for i m not proud at all.
yes to the clean, green environment, but look indepth...what policies have been implemented to encourage green and environmental friendly lifestyles? clean...cos we would be slapped with hefty fines, not becos the residents here in singapore understand the rationale behind in keeping the place clean. (that's ny many foreigners claimed that we singaporeans littered like noboby biz in their countries...cos there sina't any fines)
our govt has been imposing policies that penalised instead of policies that enhances or encourage better lifestyles. y wait for things to happen then started pointing fingers here n there and i tell u at the end of the day, durai will be one who tio cheng.
the extravagance of nkf were never discreet, why didn't anyone question or investigate then? especially many years back when there were complaints against them?
the reason y so many people who had donated was becos they had faith in the govt that all charitable organisations are ethical in conducting their charitable activities and had faith in the govt that they were watched. to my amazement, we just found out that they were not. we appointed a govt who trivalised our hard earned money.
the whole saga really reflects the competence of our govt. not that they r not doing a good job, but the priority here is all wrong, cos there were indeed millions of dollars involved which could really make a difference to our lives, the needies, the sick or even the economy of our country.
the really smart and competent people, who are singaporeans, chose to migrate, leaving behind people who r well paid, chor bo lan around.
frankly, if i have a master or phd, i will definitely set an opposition, not to overthrow the govt but just to ensure that we deserve what we should have.
so...conclusion..is all a social issue here.

cheer up, singapore is not as bad as it seems. although you guys have a nanny state, i fink it is the only way to handle the asian mentality.and im sure you guys are very familiar with what im talking about. you should be glad that it is not as corrupted as your neighbouring country. im msian, and i fink, sometimes being a msian is worse than being a foreignor in my OWN backyard. im taking steps so that i wont have to tolerate the kind of crap i get back in my country. How about you? do sumfing today.

Sky-Watcher Telescopes
Our customers are talking
This is a really great telescope at a really great price. The weather has been a bit so-so since we put this together, and we only had a couple of nights to use it so far, but have had some good viewing sessions.
I have been in the market for an Ultralight 12" Dobsonian telescope. Ryan helped me with useful information on Explore Scientific telescope. What an amazing purchase. A high quality instrument and a dream come true for collimation. Great company, great scope.
This is my first imaging telescope. I combined the Esprit 100 with a Celestron CGX mount, Sky-Watcher guide scope, ZWO guide camera and a Canon DSLR.
Setup has been straight forward with lots of information available on-line. I completed my first polar alignment using Sharpcap and am waiting for some clear Colorado nights to get started. Thanks to Ryan at Telescope Space for helping me put this together.
This was an awesome buy! Great starter telescope, would recommend!
I took the attached photo with my phone through the telescope (with the phone included smartphone adapter)
This telescope is awesome. My wife and I are serious beginners and have been loving it. Ryan with telescope space has been nothing but incredible. So very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Thank you guys so much for a fantastic start to this amazing hobby!!!
My first telescope purchase and I hit the jackpot with Telescope Space! While doing my research, I found that pricing at the various online sites was very comparable. I chose Telescope Space for my purchase because of the avaialability of the equipment in which I was intersted. Little did I know that I would receive the absolute best online customer service I have ever experienced. And when I was having a problem with my newly purchased telescope (my problem - not the equipment's) I made a call to Telescope Space and was provided fantastic assistance by the founder of the company.
If you value customer service, I strongly suggest using telescope Space for all your astronomical optical needs - you won't be sorry you did. . .
Astronomer myself, I choiced this telescope for my 5 years old son who wants to explore the Universe.... And I ve been very impressed by the global quality of this product... all the optics are good enough to watch planets and near Messier objects....It s a great deal for all beginner (young and even expert)...
I thought my ED80 Triplet was nice but this ED102 FCD100 is awesome. Delivery and customer service was excellent.
I bought this scope for an industrial client whose needs are industrial, not astronomical, and this Explore Scientific ED127 is intended to be a beam expander in various Interferometric testing setups. For this, optical quality must be high and the carbon fiber tube is a plus for thermal stability. My purchase of the Explore Scientific ED127 F7.5 APO Triplet through Telescope Space was straightforward and pleasant. Ryan made sure everything was smooth.
Upon receipt I tested the scope by looking at a power pole 700 feet away, one that I have used for many such tests. The star test from the insulator glints was good – the focus snap was crisp, the in-focus diffraction blur was round with a faint first ring. I did not look at the through focus balance with a narrow passband filter as it was obvious there was no SA3. Color correction is very good as you would expect with the glasses used. There is no color in focus, and only a hint of subtle color fringing in the just out of focus edges of details. Extended details on the pole were rendered as well as, or better than, with any similar scope I have used on this target – this includes TMB, Astrophysics, and Takahashi scopes.
The build quality of the carbon parts is gorgeous. The metal parts are good quality anodized machined. I would prefer machined tube rings as the cast ones supplied are a little chintzy compared to the rest of the scope. The rack and pinion focuser works well, but the feel is not as good as some stock friction focusers I've used. Considering the extra high weight capacity of the focuser the feel may be the price paid. Overall I think the mechanical appearance and function is in line with the price.
I would certainly consider the Explore Scientific ED APO FCD100 triplet scopes for my personal use. My transaction with Telescope Space was great and I will do business with them again.
A great package for the price! The mount is steady! The Optics excel, in that the resolution and contrast are everything to be expected in a quality refractor! H.B. Appleton, Hi.
The staff at Telescope Space were very supportive and helpful as well!
I did considerable shopping around and finally decided to buy my 152 Mak from Telescope Space. Ryan was very helpful with all my questions concerning Explore Scientific and my specific purchase. After a short period using my scope and mount, the mount seemed to have more play than it should have. Ryan had the Explore Scientific owner call me directly, where he immediately offered to exchange my mount. He also had the factory ship out the new mount while I was still using my original unit. Excellent service and sales support from both Ryan at Telescope Space and Explore Scientific. I will buy again from Telescope Space!
Prompt customer service, positive attitude, great results
I have owned many tripods. I have spent years trying to find an altazmith tripod that could carry a reasonable amount wieght, yet be portable, and have the handling and maneuverability of a Porsche, especially as the power goes up. This is a very well enginered tripod. It is as if they said let's not try to make it look a certain way, let's make it work a certain way, and that's why it looks extraterrestrial. Very well made with very little plastic. Fit and finish is close to perfect........9.9 on a 10 scale....5 stars +.....Carlos B.
As a higher-level amateur, I was looking for a decent scope & mount that I can modify for my needs. The 130mm Newtonian scope fits my needs quite well. It comes with a 25mm eye piece--which is great. I would consider purchasing other eye pieces at the same time to give you a variety of magnification options. I'd recommend something like a 12mm and 8, or 6mm eye pieces to complement the 25mm. Getting a 2X Barlow will double your eye piece viewing options. The higher number will give you a wider view, smaller number a tighter, more magnified view. In order to just resolve the bands & zones of Jupiter, I need to use an 8mm eyepiece. For exploring Lunar geography, or seeing the Galilean Moons, the 25mm is sufficient. Saturn is just discernable, until you switch-out the eye piece for a 12mm, or smaller. The heavy & stable tripod mount is easy to set up, and the large rotation nobs allow you to smoothly track your subject as the Earth rotates. The Red Dot spotting site is dead-on accurate (once you dial it in). If you want a good, intermediate telescope: one that's neither too cheap, nor one that's too expensive, the 130mm Newtonian should fit your needs quite well. (Image of the Moon has been rotated and adjusted with photo software).
the best telescope shop on the web!!! I received excellent customer service from Ryan. He helped me choose the telescope i needed and was very informative about all the products!!
very easy to put together,,,,,,,good view if moon,, waiting for good weather to check out saturn s rings,,,,,,im happy so far,,,130,mm,,,,,1st light telescope,,,,,these people are very helpful,,,,,
For an amateur astronomer, this scope fits quite nicely. Everything arrived about 2 days after ordering. Assembly took less than an hour, and that was with a cat continuously attacking plastic wrapped items (cat not included). After assembly, I spent about 30 minutes fund-raising the control placements, mount angles, etc.... It comes with a 25mm eyepiece, which is a decent, general purpose unit. Perfect for observing the geography (selenography?) of the moon. Was also able to observe Jupiter and 4 of its moons. Couldn't resolve the Jovian bands with the 25mm eyepiece, so will purchase other eyepieces for viewing the gas giants. The red dot spotter scope was easy to dial-in for accurate spotting. It came with a battery, so all good. I would recommend this scope for serious amateurs, consider buying other eye pieces at the same time for various magnifications that you might need.
I wanted to take advantage of the recent Explore Scientific sale on their 8" imaging Newtonian Optical Tube Assembly when I came across this new company. The deal included a well discounted OTA, an in-store discount and a choice of accessories for which I wanted a nice bahtinov mask. I decided to call before I order. I received a call back within 15 minutes. All my questions were answered, my concerns about a new company were eased and I placed my order. Shipping literally took one day from the Explore Scientific facility. I've received a couple of follow-ups from Ryan from Telescope Space just to see how I liked my new scope! I'm looking forward to my next purchase from them!

A very great product! Easy and simple to use. Their customer service is second to none.
I purchased this telescope at Telescope Space and was very pleased with the process and the follow up support. Ryan made every effort to answer my questions that came up. I know that smaller companies have a tougher time to sell their merchandise compared to the "big" ones, but that does not necessarily mean that they are better. I have a good comparison right now since I purchased some other items from a different vendor and the answers I got from them were by far not as good (and timely!). The telescope itself is a wonderful piece of current technic, I already spent many hour taken some photographs through it (since I was lucky to have several cloudness skies since I purchased the telescope). Attached some examples what is possible with this telescope!
I lost my opera glasses and needed a quick relacement before seeing a show. The glasses are perfect and arrived in a short turnaround time. They made my theater experience so much better, aesthetically beautiful but functional. The company's flexibility and attention to customer service are outstanding! Thank you so much! I highly recommend this company.
