7-year itch? Nami-Nami food blog anniversary post and a recipe for a Swedish shrimp salad (Räksallad)
Nami-Nami foodblog is now seven years old. On June 15, 2005, I wrote my first English-language blog post. Back then I was seven years younger. I had just finished my PhD in Sociology of Nationalism at the University of Edinburgh in bonnie Scotland, and about to start my first post-doctoral fellowship at the same university. I hadn't yet met my dear K, who seduced me back to Estonia in October following year (I met in him on November 1, 2005, four and half months after starting blogging, at a reception in Edinburgh), and I definitely didn't have any gorgeous kids back then (and, consequently, I had much more time for blogging :))
Those seven years have been fun - it's been fun meeting other foodbloggers from all over the world, it's been fun taking part in various foodblogging events. It's been educating and entertaining thinking more about what, how, and why we eat, being more reflexive about our dietary choices, eating habits and the food culture in general.
And nope, there's definitely no seven-year itch in my relationship to Nami-Nami foodblog. We're still going strong, and I have no intention of quitting just yet. Furthermore, there are some extremely interesting blogging-related trips and meet-ups lined up for the near future, so stay with me and Nami-Nami :)
For today's recipe, I'll give you this Swedish shrimp salad, something that was offer on the recent Swedish buffet. Although I do cook and blog about dishes from all over the world, then I do feel most happy and confident when blogging about Estonian, other Nordic and possibly also Eastern European dishes. This is a very Nordic salad flavour-wise - fresh, herbal, light and very summery. You can serve it as a simple salad or perhaps on top of some buttered toast.
Swedish shrimp salad
Serves six (can be easily multiplied)
400-500 g hand-peeled cooked shrimps*
100 ml (7 level Tbsp) of good-quality mayonnaise
100 ml finely chopped fresh dill
juice of half a lemon
1 tsp mild paprika powder
0.25 tsp freshly ground pepper (preferably white pepper)
* I prefer the ones in a light marinade or brine to the frozen ones, but both will do. Just make sure the netto weight after defrosting and draining is about 400 g.
If using frozen shrimps, then thoroughly defrost them (I take them from the freezer and put into the fridge on the previous night). Drain thoroughly, then squeeze gently to remove as much water as possible. If using shrimps in a brine/marinade, then simply drain them.
Put couple of shrimps on the side, if you want to use them for garnish.
In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise and dill, season with lemon juice, paprika powder and pepper. Add the shrimps and stir gently, until combined.
Transfer the salad into a serving bowl, garnish with some shrimps and dill.
Serve at once, or cover with clingfilm and place into the fridge for an hour or two.

We check over 450 stores daily and we last saw this product for £115 at Nike.Go to Nike
Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Men's, Black, Size 6 (EU 40). Ultra-lightweight: The Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Men's Shoe weighs 50 percent less than the '82 hoops original thanks to its all-new, ultra-breathable Nike Flyknit upper. Strategically crafted Flyknit panels add dimension while remaining true to the AF1 design aesthetic. Lightweight breathability: Woven Flyknit yarns integrate areas of high breathability, stretch and support where you need it most, conforming to the shape of your foot for a comfortable, lightweight feel. Superior cushioning : The lightweight, injected midsole includes an encapsulated Air-Sole unit in the heel for long-lasting cushioning and impact protection. More details : Adjustable ankle strap with a hook-and-loop closure for a locked-down fit, Synthetic leather heel tab and tongue for a premium look, Pivot points for smooth multi-directional transitions, Rubber pods under the toe and heel for durability, Air force 1 origins: Transcending foot coverage since 1982, this former basketball shoe was coined after Air Force One, the aircraft that carries the President of the United States. It was the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air, revolutionising the game for players like Moses Malone and Charles Barkley while rapidly gaining traction around the world, from the hardwood to the tarmac to the core of hip-hop culture. Today the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots with soft, springy cushioning and a massive midsole, but the Air technology takes a backseat to the shoe's status as an icon. Flyknit origins: Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners craving a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability—all in one layer—was refined. The result is a featherweight, form-fitting and virtually seamless upper. This unprecedented precision maximises performance while reducing material waste by an average of 60% compared to traditional cut and sew, saving millions of kilograms of material from reaching landfills.

If your engine has high mileage, has not been moved for a long time, is tuned or is losing fluid, it deserves having its 'cases cracked and a major service. All bearings, gaskets, oil seals, the cruciform and the primary drive should be replaced.
All gaskets necessary for this job are included in our engine gasket sets. Our standard gasket sets are RMS Classic or CENTAURO. The original PIAGGIO gasket sets usually have thicker paper based gaskets than standard gasket sets do. Additionally the O-ring gaskets are usually also included as part of the set by PIAGGIO. The sets display only minimal differences between them, according to the model of Vespa they are meant for. For example, if the carb box gasket is suitable for autolube mixing (Lusso onwards) or if the cylinder base gasket is made of paper or metal, etc. Due to the fact that you should not delay your motors overhaul, we advise that you consider ordering pattern products or the gasket set from a related model if your models set is temporarily not available.
Grease all gaskets before use. For older motors a gasket sealant paste should be used for an efficient fit.
SIP-TIP: Do not forget to order gasket sets separately for your carb, clutch and if fitted, tuning cylinder, when replacing the other engine gaskets. New oil seals and fresh gear box oil should also be included for safe and enduring use of your motor.
SIP community user "davidbue" (on Art.-No 92055000): "This kit's a bang for the bucks."
SIP community user "tcpip" on Art.-No.13095000: "Great, well packed, fits perfectly and good value. Tip-top!"

"How to Be a Young Woman of God," New Era, Sept. 2012, 48
From Church Leaders
How to Be a Young Woman of God
From the October 2005 general conference address "To Young Women" (Ensign, Nov. 2005, 28–30).
I want you to be proud you are a woman. I want you to feel the reality of what that means. You are literally a spirit daughter of heavenly parents with a divine nature and an eternal destiny. That surpassing truth should be fixed deep in your soul and be fundamental to every decision you make as you grow into mature womanhood.
Your Father in Heaven knows your name and knows your circumstance. He hears your prayers. He knows your hopes and dreams, including your fears and frustrations. And He knows what you can become through faith in Him. Seek to comprehend the significance of these doctrines.
Cherish your esteemed place in the sight of God. He needs you. This Church needs you. The world needs you.
If for a time any of you are less visionary than this or seem bent on living beneath your privilege, then we express even greater love for you and plead with you to make your teenage years a triumph, not a tragedy. Fathers and mothers, prophets and apostles have no motive except to bless your life and to spare you every possible heartache we can spare you.
For you to fully claim Heavenly Father's blessings and protection, we ask you to stay true to the standards of the gospel of Jesus Christ and not slavishly follow the whims of fads and fashions. Our standards are not socially negotiable.
A woman not of our faith once wrote something to the effect that in her years of working with beautiful women she had seen several things they all had in common, and not one of them had anything to do with sizes and shapes. She said the loveliest women she had known had a glow of health, a warm personality, a love of learning, stability of character, and integrity. If we may add the sweet and gentle Spirit of the Lord carried by such a woman, then this describes the loveliness of women in any age or time, every element of which is emphasized in and attainable through the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
May you let the eternal realities of the gospel of Jesus Christ lift you above temporal concerns and teenage anxieties.

"The Miracle of Spiritual Healing," Liahona, June 2012, 53
From the Mission Field
The Miracle of Spiritual Healing
One day when my companion and I went to visit a recent convert in Colombo, Brazil, the house was full of family members. It was crowded, but they still invited us to share a message. We were about to start when the convert's brother came in. He was not a member of our Church and was not happy about our visit. He seemed to find any way he could to contradict us.
He had a notebook of all the members of his congregation and their sicknesses. He asked us if we believed in the gift of healing. "Of course we do," we replied. "Well then," he continued, "I've healed all the people in this notebook. How many people have you healed?"
We tried to explain the priesthood, faith, and how things happen according to God's will, but after a few moments, we felt like we had been cornered and attacked.
Then "in the very moment" (D&C 100:6) we needed it, the Spirit whispered what to say. I explained that while we do believe in healing, our work as missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was to bring spiritual healing to those we taught, which healing is available only through accepting the Atonement of Jesus Christ through faith, repentance, baptism by immersion, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.
So while we believe in physical healing, we explained, the most important healing is spiritual healing. And that kind of healing was the kind we saw every day. It really didn't matter if people were healed physically if they didn't repent and change their lives to follow Christ.
As the Spirit guided us to respond in a calm manner, the tension in the room dispersed, the brother stopped trying to fight, and we were able to share our message.
Months later, after finishing my mission, I read this statement in the Liahona from John Tanner's missionary journal: "Conversion is the greatest miracle. It is even more wonderful than healing the sick or raising the dead. For while a person who is healed will eventually fall sick again and ultimately die, the miracle of conversion can last forever and affect the eternities for the convert as well as for his or her posterity. Whole generations are healed and redeemed from death through the miracle of conversion."1
How grateful I am that the Spirit prompted two somewhat trapped missionaries to remember our purpose was the saving of souls.

The Mercedes-AMG G 63.
Stronger Than Time.
Its own way – the only road it never leaves
In addition to its powerful appearance and high-performance engines, the G-Class possesses something that has made us particularly proud for the last 36 years: a strong character. So that this remains the case, our aim is to keep on further developing rather than redeveloping. A well-rounded character can still have corners and edges – it's about being true to yourself.
Off-road capability: either you've got it, or you fall by the wayside
Special challenges call for special measures: engines whose capacity and power delivery are perfectly matched to the demands of this versatile cross-country vehicle are a case in point. They are complemented by three fully-lockable differential locks, which allow the G-Class to cope with the challenges presented by just about any driving situation or terrain.

First, this question makes two assumptions:
For a person to be saved today, they must hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, and accept the gift of His death on the cross as penance for their sin.
Before the death of Christ, the requirement for salvation was faith in God's future redemptive work (See How were people saved before ~33AD? ). This is what saved Abraham, the thief on the cross, and anyone else who was saved up to this point.
These two premises are commonly held by many Christians, including many very close friends of mine.
So my question is, given this understanding of saving faith, when, precisely, did the requirement cease to be "faith in future redemptive work" and instead become "faith in past redemptive work?"
The easy answer would of course be "The instant Christ died," but that has unfortunate implications for anyone who died 5 minutes after Christ did but did not know of Christ's death because the obituary had not yet been published.

Written By: Ben Cosgrove
Very few non-violent civil disobedience tactics of the late 1950s and early 1960s were as brilliantly simple in conception and as effective in execution as the sit-ins that rocked cities and towns from Texas and Oklahoma to Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and beyond. Some sit-ins at lunch counters, state houses and other public and private venues were more confrontational than others; some lasted longer than others; some were more high-profile than others. But all required a certain kind of courage and a communal willingness to sacrifice that were hallmarks of the Civil Rights Movement in America.
Here, LIFE.com presents a gallery of photos—many of which never ran in LIFE magazine—from a series of protests and sit-ins in Petersburg, Virgina, in May 1960, and from a broader-themed planning conference sponsored by Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian leadership Council at Atlanta University earlier that month. The pictures, by LIFE's Howard Sochurek a Princeton grad, Neiman Fellow at Harvard and WWII Army vet capture one small but significant exemplar of the sit-in phenomenon, as well as some of the unusual training methods that potential sitters-in endured before taking to the streets and to the seats.
In notes sent to LIFE's editors in New York from the magazine's Washington, DC, bureau in May 1960, the sit-in movement's activities in Virginia were dubbed the "Second Siege of Petersburg" a tongue-in-cheek reference to the famous siege of the town and nearby Richmond between June 1864 and April 1865 during the Civil War.
The "siege" metaphor, meanwhile, takes on a peculiar resonance in those notes for example, in a quote from a newspaper publisher in Petersburg, George Lewis, who told LIFE: "I'm against integration. The mood of Petersburg definitely is for segregation. The Negroes are pushing too hard and the whole pace is too fast. Petersburg is not ready for integrated lunch counters. If they integrate them, the whites will boycott. But things are changing slowly. Ten years ago we couldn't have printed a Negro picture in the paper. The whites wouldn't have stood for it. Now we print them when they're in the news. It's a mark of the progress here. But the Negroes are pushing too hard. They've created an explosive situation here in Petersburg."
Describing a key element of that "explosive situation" the sit-ins by activists at various lunch counters in town LIFE wrote in its September 19, 1960, issue (published a full four months after the events described):
The key to the sit-in is non-violence, but it takes a tough inner fiber neither to flinch nor retaliate when, occasionally, hooligans pick on the sitters-in to discourage them or provoke them into some violent act. Fearing the stress on sensibilities and temper to which a sit-in could be subjected, the high school and college students of Petersburg, Va. studied at a unique but punishing extracurricular school before they attempted sitting-in.
In the course, which they ironically call "social drama," student are subjected to a full repertory of humiliation and minor abuse. These include smoke-blowing, hair-pulling, chair-jostling, coffee-spilling, hitting with wadded newspaper, along with such epithets as "dirty nigger" and "black bitch." Anyone who gets mad flunks. So far in Petersburg effective police action and the calm attitude of the townspeople have averted trouble.
Except for a few adult leaders … the sitters-in are youngsters like Virginius Bray Thornton … In a real sense they are the South's "new" Negro. They are educated, filled with a fierce idealism, chafing impatience and bitterness against the remaining shackles. "This is not a student struggle, it is a Negro struggle," says Virginius. A baffled white man echoes him: "The older Negroes don't want integration but these kids are shaming them into it."

Renew my lan cheow, ok?
This is I think a fucking hao lian way to say Look! We always got change our MP one, let the old one retire to enjoy their million dollar salary, and let the new young punk come out to show they can also be gahmen.
Fuck your mother backside lah. Renew my lan cheow, ok? If they really believe in the new blood, how come still got Lau Lee and Lau Goh still there? Where is the Retire part?
Even go and find one Refresh President also cannot, have to keep a 80 plus old man who want to long long want to Retire as president. Where is the Renew?
My friend father 55 year old also kena retrench, but we have Minister, Head of the Judge, and President all is old enough to be my friend grandfather.
Then every few day, gahmen show a few new MP, three by three. KNN. It is like arm got plaster, want to pull hurry up pull, don't nabei pull slowly.
Singaporean all know what is the ending liao. Just tell us when is the election day, tomorrow vote also can. Why still want to slowly slowy take own sweet time and show us your confirm winners? In the end, who will remember their name or fuck face? Just remember our town got 5 people from the gahmen party continue to be our leader, get our million billion dollar of the upgrading, and five year time see them again.
Lawrence told me but they are not MP yet what, just kah kia or is call candiedates. But I told him just tompang the old Minister or lau cheow MP, enter by back door, then become MP by autogear lor! So call them MP now also can what!
I see the new MP the PAP introduce, is all look like cheebye made of gold. All is elite special forces one. Doctor, lawyer, boss, lawyer, CEO, lawyer... every mother son got dunno how many degree, make how much money a year, and all want to change the world become better place type.
Want to change the world, go and be opposition lah! They need your help. Gahmen party don't need your help, they already confirm win liao. Some more never join the opposition party never mind. Still go and join the gahmen party and say to the reporter, Opposition standard not good, they not enough talented people.
Fuck you understand? You got so much talent and want make the change of the world, why not you go and help make the fucked up Opposition better standard?
At least say the honest thing. We join the gahmen party because they are the winner. They got the money. They got the power. Join them no risk. No need scared kena sue. No need scared lose. No need scared kena all your shameful family story all come out in the newspaper for Singaporean to read. Want to build lift for my estate those flat can use special Singaporean tax money to build, not like opposition MP cannot use it.
(Cheebye, people who live in opposition estate is not Singaporean ah? They never pay tax one ah? Then how come their opposition MP cannot use this special money? Cheebye!)
Don't come and tell me you young punk want to make the change of the world. You young elite talent join the gahmen party is got nothing to do with simi lan cheow change. Change what change? Nothing is will change. The party you join still the same. Everything is still the same.
If all the best talent in the world is join the elite school, of course the neighbourhood school will kena only condemn students left. And they will forever be the condemn school, cannot be Number One. The rich become richer. The Number One keep be Number One. Because the elite school get all the best of the best.
And how is this kind of super elite people going to make we common man lan cheow happy? If all your customer is those one fuck $300 type, how you suck the cock of the poor man of the street who can only pay $30?
Singapore cannot find a few normal infantry man or NCO to be in gahmen is it? How come all the men they find is only General?
At least last time in 1960 that time, the gahmen party those old horse have to fight communist, have to rub shoulder with the poor people and feel their pain and feel their happy. Nowaday those new MP, come from rich family or good school or good powerful job, how many of them got this kind of experience? Most of them don't even need to fight in election because always so many walkover.
Too bad I not super elite lawyer or doctor or CEO, and my life story got many dirty thing cannot print in newspaper one. If not I also don't mind join the confirm-champion party of Singapore and help change the world. But then if I become MP, then I want to be MP of Gelyang! Every day free fuck by the golden cheebye of the elite prostitute there! My horse can become Golden Horse! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Or the kind who side the terrorists and do business with them at the expense of the country?
Or the kind who knows that the country is in chaos but still want to go and disturb neighbouring countries over stupid matters?

Get this straight, No govenrment can last forever. look at Rome or Venice, how strong also will fall de. Time shall determine the outcome.

Did you read that Ah Goh say if people in Realty Park at Hougang vote PAP more than 60%, they will get upgrading too? So he telling the world he knows who vote for what; so why waste time "introducing" the cock sucker and ass licker types candidates? Wayang also cost money you know, why not cut the bullshit and say out loud, "We dictator, you slaves", like the matchmaker Philip Yeo tell the scholars.

Semi you not lawyer, pass bar first then lawyer and then you can go join oppo party and no one knows that that new face is actually rockson tan. hahaha! oh, ur standard of English is somewhat getting better? Too close to exam period is is? Too many law cases to read and hence can put in only an occasional "usual lockson" term? hahaha!

I don't see anything exciting as to being the 1st, or 2nd, or 2974614th person to comment on rockson's blog. At least, write something substantial.
Anyway if rockson joins the opposition, he'll be arrested the next day, for some fuck reason fabricated by the government. He would be better off in the PAP.
Words, words, words.... the government verify (or attempt to cover up) their actions with words, written or spoken, and the anti-government? Also words. You can't make stones move by ordering them to. What we really need, I feel, is some action, and not just one or two people standing like idiots outside the Istana shouting their lungs off (or giving out flyers), but a substantial number of people standing up for themselves and the people they represent...but maybe that's only wishful thinking.

Whenever Chee Soon Juan or JBJ or even Steve Chia sell their books in the streets, sure got ISD people take photo of buyers from distance. Don't believe? Observe when you next see them peddling their books.
Almost nobody wants to speak up against PAP govt or join opposition party. Why? Because they don't want ISD to follow their backsides everyday.
Here, newspaper everyday got job ads, only thing is whether you want to work or not. Got job, got money, who will fight govt? Nobody will say bad things about govt, unless they like ISD ppl watching their kar-cherng.
We cannot compare with indon or filipine becos there, ppl are struggling to survive. That's why they dare to go strike, protest, demonstration. If filipino/indon all got jobs, u think they will bother to waste time to demonstrate instead of making money?

Rockson, a good post that rocks and rolls some facts out. We are just like man in the net. If you try to be funny you may end up, for you to choose, bankrauptcy; section 55; or charge for sodomy, or maybe "buang ding swun" (like the old days), or just kick you out of the inland and go to nomanland.
We don't want opposition like others, have domonstration' riots, strikes and so on. We don't need these things here but what we want is a credible opposition to help the underpriviledge, the old people, or some minority, ensure they mustn't be neglected of their views, and well-being.
Also to check for no siphoning of country,s wealth. See what had happen in NKF, is an exemple that the correction came very late. Opposition in our country can never represent the majority as the rich has outnumber the poor and most of the rules and regulations benifis the rich. Obviously, when you have more poor people around it would be much simpler for the oppisition to do their jobs. Life will be dull without opposition voices. Maybe oneday the opposition could represent the rich, Oh ! then is trouble loh. I think our garment is okay still show a little care for the old and the poor people, at a verge of death let you be happy a little bit before the end.
- Tuesday, April 11, 2006 3:47:00 PM
rockson, u better vote with your lampa man. even if the election result skewered and predicted. u can still make a difference, tell the gahmen to blow u.
- Tuesday, April 11, 2006 4:32:00 PM
this election is a big a show and tell. the election result is already scripted. we all know the result, can go home and shake leg lar and watch some chiobu on Channel News Asia presenting... lol.
even the singaporeans that live in opposition stronghold pay tax, vote and work hard. the government of RoS should upgrade flats regardless of party politics. this is the worst case of kiasuness and selfishness in this country.
no other western country in this world that will divide the population into opposition zone and government zone and refuse to upgrade housing projects based on that. that is so fucken insane.
if u want to win back the seat in opposition stronghold, just upgrade and work harder in the electorate. no need to bullshit that this is opposition area, cannot upgrade, tu lan. this asian value democracy is a big joke.

vote for PAP = vote for upgrading,
vote for PAP also = vote for everthing price go up,
so, those vote for PAP and have upgrading = those make everthing price go up.
And so, only those vote for PAP and have upgrading need to pay for the increasing price of everything ! Because they make the things price go up, for eg GST, transport fee, SP bill and etc.
Fare or not ?

"... people who live in opposition estate is not Singaporean ah? They never pay tax one ah? Then how come their opposition MP cannot use this special money?..."
exactly! And the local media does not give fair coverage on the oppositions too. ST had to put another report regarding CSJ's contempt of court(even though it was well over & he was subsequently released from his 7days imprisonment) together with the introduction of the opposition's 3 candidates. Coincidence?

I think you are a loser. You so good, why not stand up and join the opposition party. Write crap here just to whine like some loser dog...or togain attention from people. But u win. U gained my attention and i read what u have written. If dun have those old man behind the party, u think other countries will give a damn shit abt spore. If u say how come normal infantrymen or nco cant be mps...then why in the first place they arent generals. They just dont have the abilities to lead. Thats why they are men. Everyone plays a part...im not saying being a men in the army means you are shit. It just means you dont have the ability to be a leader. So if you cant lead, then be a follower.
If you are really a law student, then i think something is very wrong with your school system. Talk with facts...dont just say things that u have interpreted the meanings vaguely.
Otherwise i would just think you are a loser who hides behind some ahbeng identity and try to talk crap

wah, you think want to join politics so easy one issit?
at least rockson is doing his part by raising awareness can. why support opposition must join opposition? food critic must go and be chef meh? singapore idol judge must go and sing song meh? nabeh stupid argument leh.
the point is not whether the leaders can lead or not, is that the system is undemocratic. it is not that a "non-elite" should be voted in, but that we should be able to vote him in if we fucking want to.

Yes I totally agree with "Bobo the Bimbo"
At least we're living in a safe environment. The Gahmen is quick to react on anything that happens, always seek for peace and harmony and most importantly they manage our society well. We have lawyers, doctors and CEO of big companies to be our leader rather than have some people who only cares for the benefits of themselves and causes the people here to suffer right?

most of this pple who support opposition are full of hatred that claim didn't benefit a lot from the gvt. most of this pple are usually lazy, not hardworking but live in a peace life but still want more from the gvt. this applied to the opposition parties, they are fight for their own benefit and not for pple, so why shld i vote them?

- Wednesday, April 12, 2006 8:23:00 AM
rockson is paid well and live in a comfortable life, so don't need any upgrade but he only need to upgrade his lan cheow coz frequently used meh, so sure will have wear and tear. suggest rockson migrate to stay with karan, so you don't have so much compliant here. your lan cheow also safe coz only concentrate on the same hole.
- Wednesday, April 12, 2006 8:31:00 AM
"Singapore cannot find a few normal infantry man or NCO to be in gahmen is it? How come all the men they find is only General?"
Rockson, I totally agreed all ur said. The only thing s'pore can't be compare with other country is we are still a communist country. Democatic is jus only a word that smoke those ang moh country.
- Wednesday, April 12, 2006 8:53:00 AM
To ALL those who blasted Rockson, remember he is the HORSE of the animal farm ok! If your horse is just a little pony then go join the pigs please. Here is what one pig has to say:
"after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

- Wednesday, April 12, 2006 12:02:00 PM
i m with rockson all the way man. i m very disappointed by all the bullying and all the bullshit that the government is putting up. all they are concerned about is want to stay in power and generate more benefits to themselves.
we don't have a strong opposition cos the pap is buying pple out. i m sure there are many pple who wants to join the oppostition to help be the watch dog for the govt but the pap, will do whatever it takes to take away very eligible candidates or deter these pple by digging into their personal lives.
so i have given up hope on this govt. deep down, i know many will do their best to get out of this place and migrate somewhere.
i agree that overall is a good country but the not necessary we have to incur so much money for many things which is a waste of money...really lppl.
the campaigns' fund came from our taxes fyi....
- Wednesday, April 12, 2006 12:02:00 PM
KNN dont use "tok with facts" to tok cock here la. We down here tok with real facts and if there is nothing wrong with the systems, why will blogple here write it out ler. Somemore can say Rockson is loser, i think he is the 1st loser cos he think he is reading a loser blog that makes him the FIRST LOSER in this blog!!! u urself also hide your freaking id wat.. still say rockson, nnb! go back to your GRC and play good shitizen lar.. knnb!!!
- Wednesday, April 12, 2006 12:09:00 PM
i also want to migrate if i have the $, but all my $ is tied to the CPF la, HDB la etc etc. then when i thought can finally own the HDB liao hor, upgrading loan comes in.....sianz.....how to migrate
- Wednesday, April 12, 2006 12:12:00 PM
u dun really own "your" HDB. its a lease really (u can also consider it a leash by the gahmen to chain u to this island)
those boliao ppl who come to attack rockson, pls go away. this is rockson's blog. he can write what he wants.
i'm sure we r all loyal to our country. how can we not miss singapore? born and bred here mah. will surely miss the food man! lol.
loyalty to country does NOT mean loyalty to PAP ok? if LKY is the old man who build the MATRIX, then our rockson is THE ONE. so stfu pls.

Almost all of us are being ruled with fear, there are already so many exemples in the past. Many of us like to be in anonymous so to ease some frustration without getting into trouble.
Garment always say that Singaporeans are very relying on garment. With all the able and elites people taken away by the garment, so call lead the country, and with all the taxes collected to well support the the leaders and run the country, however, we now heard that Singaporeans are very relying..... Come to think of it and ask ourselves a question. Our leaders ask us not to rely on them too much so who we should we rely on ? Ourselves ? Then why are we paying our leaders so much and yet they won't allow us to rely much on them. Ridiculous isn't it ? In fact, Singaporeans are not very reliant people because of too many red tapes and rules, we are all scare of doing something wrong so might as well ask our leaders to do it, they know the rules better. Anyway it is a fine country so don't get yourself paying fine.

"the broad masses of a nation ... in the primitive simplicity of their minds ... more readily fall victims to the big lie..." - Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf (1925).
Heil PAP! Heil PAP! Heil PAP!
"The Nazi Propaganda Ministry, directed by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, took control of all forms of communication in Germany: newspapers, magazines, books, public meetings, and rallies, art, music, movies, and radio. Viewpoints in any way threatening to Nazi beliefs or to the regime were censored or eliminated from all media."
Waaaahh..... I thought I was reading about Singapore for a while LOL.
"Propaganda is the art of persuasion - persuading others that your 'side of the story' is correct."
"Schools also played an important role in spreading Nazi ideas. While some books were removed from classrooms by censors, other textbooks, newly written, were brought in to teach students blind obedience to the party, love for Hitler"

if they dun be MP, who be?
A MP who always kao beh kap bu, say lan cheow, chee bye, fuck here fuck there?
MP needs degree or work experience because it is precisely this that gives us knowledge.
No doubt all are lawyers.
But will people be satisfied with a taxi driver MP?
For the many grads out there, I tell you, no one will be satisfied for such an arrangment.
So do you have better suggestion as to who to be MP?
Don't be a typical Singaporean only know how to complain and don't give valuable alternative.
Empty vessels make the most noise.
And boy, you can go be your golden horse all you want.

u have to look in further wat the PAP had done for us the past years...
look at our status in the world..
they didnt fail us.. they had bring singapore into a 1st world country, which every other countries knows abt us.. so dun just F n F... i doubt the Opp party..can handle all these..
they basically only knows how to shout n shout during the 9 days of campaign rally every 5 years.. and aftertat missing again...
give the PAP a break pls... they really do their job well...
- Monday, May 08, 2006 5:28:00 PM
politics is always the same in singapore. same gahmen, same opposition, whats difference after the election.
people still complaining, elitest still in power, people got no where to go and have space to relax.
- Tuesday, May 09, 2006 7:42:00 PM
Most people will not debate the fact that the PAP has done well in the past to get us where we are today.
However, in that period of time, our problems were lack of jobs, poor housing and food.
Singapore's problem is no longer at the bottom of the pyramid. There will always be some people with those problems but in general we have moved on. PAP claim that we are a first world country and they have a first world govt.
If thats the case they should start looking at satisfying our needs further up the the pyramid. What do we want now?
A free press? freedom from our shackles? respectable minimum wages for those in the lower pay categories?
Basic necessities are still needed but aren't we a first world country after all? Are we only still focused on providing these basic necessities?
How does creating new jobs with a pay of $800/month help us achieve a higher state of consciousness?
We thank the PAP for giving us our bread and butter, but now we'd like some ham and cheese.
Every day we hear of our great economic performance. I would like to compare perhaps, minimum wages 10 years ago to minimum wages now.. Someone tell me the figures so i can be discredited. Our cost of living has increased but i am not sure that the minimum wages have increased to match.
Its not a lie that we wouldn't be where we are today without the PAP. The country is beautiful. But it would be more beautiful if we could have the freedom to really "live" in this oasis rather than to be slaves in it.

Rockson, why use so many vulgar word? that prove nothing. speak like gentle man and we vote for you.

Hear!Hear! very cool way of commentary!!
- Saturday, May 20, 2006 10:47:00 AM
Rockson, I enjoyed most of your writtings, especially those on NKF and recent elections. Not so much on your adventure in Geylang or your relationship with your GF.
Are you running out of topic that Singaporean public may be interested in? If so, I would like to find out more about these two related websites : http://www.yeocheowtong.com http://www.escapefromparadise.com/NewFiles/bc.html
Thanks ! Ta C
- Monday, May 29, 2006 11:03:00 AM
Rockson will one day rock no more. you must be some educated man who does this to vent your pertually renewing frustrations. True enough, you can write what you want. But so can I, since you made such an option available. Talking in crafted Ah-Bengish language doesn't make you one. Your writings are too deliberate. You can say all you want abt e govt but only with a hidden identity so quit the crap. If your nuts are any good, put your face to this blog. Otherwise, stop blabbering like a cursing maniac. Go look @yourself in e mirror if you have one. You must be writing so much abt screws and pancakes that they are coming out from your ears and mouth. I think real Ah Bengs have more charisma than you.... you're so bad at it, you tarnish their image. Distasteful. Your commentaries can only guarantee you one thing. a ticket to eternal damnation. have a taste of your own poison.

Caf demands security at Ghana match venue
The Confederation of Africa Football is demanding an improvement in security at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, venue for Ghana's group matches at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
Following a pitch invasion in separate incidents by two fans during the Black Stars' opening Group B match against DR Congo, which finished 2-2 on Sunday, Caf has written to the LOC to ensure pitch security in Port Elizabeth.
The Leopards have also been warned about the conduct of their fans.
"The Board decided to address a warning letter to the LOC advising them that they need to reinforce the Security in Port Elizabeth," a Caf Disciplinary Board decision stated.
"The Board also decided to address a warning letter to RD Congo as the visiting team is held responsible for the behaviour of their supporters (Article 83.3 of CAF Disciplinary Code)."
A Congolese fan in the 55th minute, managed to enter the field of play and the same incident was repeated at the 65th minute when another fan entered and ran in the field of play.

CON receives approval from Texas Board of Nursing, prepares for first students
(COLLEGE STATION, TX) — The Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Nursing received approval Thursday from the Texas Board of Nursing, enabling the college to welcome its charter class of 44 students.
"We're pleased to have passed the final hurdle before admitting the first class of nursing students into the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Nursing and to address a nursing shortage that threatens both the availability and quality of care available to patients," said Nancy Dickey, M.D., President of the Texas A&M Health Science Center and Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs for the Texas A&M System. "This is a very important step for the Texas A&M University System and the health science center in addressing state health care work force needs."
The Texas Board of Nursing overwhelmingly approved the HSC-College of Nursing as having met the minimum requirements and standards for establishing a baccalaureate degree nursing educational program to prepare registered nurses. The college also received approval earlier this year from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).
The HSC-College of Nursing was commended for the well-written and comprehensive proposal for establishing a new program. Board approval authorizes the college to admit and enroll students immediately. Full approval status will occur when the HSC-College of Nursing graduates its inaugural class.
"We are pleased with today's action by the Texas Board of Nursing, which now enables us to begin educating tomorrow's nurses today," said Sharon A. Wilkerson, R.N., Ph.D., acting dean and professor in the HSC-College of Nursing. "The HSC-College of Nursing has tremendous potential to nourish and develop quality nursing leaders."
Beginning this fall, the HSC-College of Nursing in Bryan-College Station will offer the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree program. This nursing program initially will offer two different "tracks" for the baccalaureate degree. One will be a generic B.S.N. requiring two years of prerequisite courses and two years of nursing curricula. A second "accelerated" program is ideal for those who already have earned a bachelor's degree in another field of study and decided to change careers. Upon acceptance into this program, students will receive their B.S.N. in only 18 months.
A third track, planned for the future, will be an R.N.-to-B.S.N. program allowing registered nurses with associate degrees to complete additional course work for the B.S.N.
The new HSC-College of Nursing will help alleviate the severe nursing shortage across Texas, compounded by an existing nursing work force that is aging and ready to retire. The THECB agreed that increasing the number of registered nurse graduates was so important as to warrant designation as a specific target of success for Closing the Gaps in 2015: The Texas Higher Education Plan.
According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projections, more than a million new and replacement nurses will be needed to fill vacancies during the next 10 years, and, for the first time, the U.S. Department of Labor has identified registered nursing as the top occupation in terms of growth through the year 2012.
The mission of the Texas Board of Nursing is to protect and promote the welfare of the people of Texas by ensuring each person holding a license as a nurse is competent to practice safely. The board fulfills its mission through the regulation of the practice of nursing and the approval of nursing education programs. The mission, derived from the Nursing Practice Act, supersedes the interest of any individual, the nursing profession or any special interest group.
The Texas A&M Health Science Center provides the state with health education, outreach and research. Its seven colleges located in communities throughout Texas are the Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, the College of Medicine in College Station and Temple, the College of Nursing in College Station, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the Institute of Biosciences and Technology in Houston, the Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy in Kingsville, and the School of Rural Public Health in College Station.

Experience at first bodes well for Van Slyke
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Manager Don Mattingly stopped short of guaranteeing Scott Van Slyke an Opening Day roster spot, but the 27-year-old corner outfielder and backup first baseman could take comfort in the manager's Sunday comments.
"He did a lot for us last year. It's what we looked for last year; we came into Spring Training looking for that right-handed extra outfielder that could spell us in different spots," Mattingly said. "He seemed to step up and take over that role."
Mattingly said he would look to give Adrian Gonzalez a few extra days off during the season. Often that will come against a tough lefty, which Van Slyke handled last year.
"Scott fits there; he fits for giving Carl [Crawford] a day and Andre [Ethier] a day now and then," Mattingly said.
Van Slyke, who hit .240 with seven home runs in 53 Major League games a year ago, is the only player on the 40-man roster besides Gonzalez with significant experience at first base, and he played first in Sunday's intrasquad game. Non-roster invitees Brendan Harris, Justin Turner and Miguel Rojas have seen very limited action there during their careers.

Photographs can be used to liven up pages where what they add to the page outweighs the extra download time.
Photographs in which individuals are identifiable should only be added to the site after the people pictured have been asked whether this is OK.
We will not normally add identifiable photographs of people under the age of 18 to this site.
Pictures inline in a page should be quite small thumbnails, a reasonable limit would be 10kB for images that are mainly decorative, but often you will be able to get them under 5kB. For pictures that convey significant information, more is fine. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand words of text in HTML format will average about 7kB!
If it is necessary to show a large image, consider putting a small thumbnail inline, which links to the large image. The British Go Association Picture Gallery is a good example of this.
Photographs, and similar images, should be in JPEG format, with a '.jpg' file extension.
Diagrams, with large areas of solid colour and sharp outlines, should be in PNG format, with a '.png' extension. However, if you can't avoid it, use GIF format.
The name of the file should be the surname followed by the first initial (that he/she's known by) and the extension in lower case, e.g. hitchensb.jpg. Thumbnails are probably not needed anymore: Where you have both a high-resolution image, and a corresponding thumbnail image, then the thumbnail image should have the same name as the full-sized image, with '-t' added at the end of the name and before the file extension. For example 'th.jpg' and 'th-t.jpg' in the picture gallery.
In general pictures of people should be added to the directory /files/people and then referenced from there, as in done of the People involved in running the BGA page. To get a picture added to the gallery, ask the webmaster.
Pictures that go only with a particular page can be added to that page as a file attachment in which case they will be loaded into the /files directory. Only to be used in exceptional circumstances now.
If there are a lot of pictures with the same theme, for instance photos of a particular tournament, then a gallery can be created and the photos added to that with appropriate captions. For instance, see a WMSG gallery.
Alternatively photographs that were intimately related to a particular part of the site can be put in a relevant subdirectory within /files using FTP. For example /files/people on the BGA People page.
You should also specify the size of the image in the HTML, so the template
HTML for an image is:
<img src="..." width="..." height="..." alt="...">
You should also specify some text that is
displayed as a tool-tip when the user mouses-over the image. The correct way to
do this is to specify a
title="[some more information about the
Another alternative is to use a table if you have a series of images that need to be displayed vertically in a separate column. See Pictures for an example of this.

New Year's Eve set a new Twitter record: 6,939 tweets per second sent
1 January didn't just ring in a new year, it rang in a new record for the number of tweets-per-second sent.
According to figures from Twitter, the Japanese sent 6,939 tweets-per-second as midnight chimed at the start of 2011. The figure is nealry double the previous record, which was 3,283 tweets-per-second, set last summer during Japan's victory against Denmark in the soccer World Cup.
It's proof that the Japanese love their Twitter, but the whole world was at it. This video shows how "Happy New Year" tweets followed the timezones around the planet as the new year was ushered in. As Twitter notes in its blog post today: "The circle over Tokyo gets so big it nearly swallows Japan." Forget Godzilla, this was a New Years Tweetzilla.

Sinjin Smith: Beach volleyball undergoing a changing of the guard
Lausanne, Switzerland, June 28, 2013 – On the eve of the ninth FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships (in its current format), beach volleyball legend Sinjin Smith sat down with FIVB.org to shares his thoughts ahead of events in Poland.
"The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships are much like the Olympics in that the more experienced players with a history of success know what it takes to prepare for them. They will hope to be able to dig deep into their experience at the right time to bring home victory.â€
"We know who the experienced teams are and we will expect great things from them; teams such as Brazil's Emanuel Rego and Alison Cerutti and USA's Phil Dalhausser and Sean Rosenthal.â€
"That said as we get close to crowning the 2013 Men's World Champions, it does strike me that the sport is undergoing a changing of the guard.â€
"We have new young teams with less experience but youth, desire and something to prove. The young teams showed us they were on the move at the London 2012 Olympic Games and have carried that form on in this year's FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour.â€
"Italy's Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo caught everyone's attention when they ended Dalhausser and Todd Roger's reign as Olympic champions, while Janis Smedins was one of three Latvian medallists at London 2012. He has brought that form with him into his new partnership with Aleksandrs Samoilovs and they already have one gold and two silvers to their names.â€
"New combinations are always scary especially when they show you they can win right away. Look out for USA's Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson and Brazil's Pedro Salgado and Bruno Oscar Schmidt as both teams have already enjoyed success this year and they will definitely be hungry for more.â€
"Local favourites Grzegorz Fijalek and Mariusz Prudel will also be an interesting team to watch to see if home court advantage and the crowd behind them will make the difference or whether it put extra pressure on them and keep them from playing the way they can when at their best.â€
"The reason why no one team will dominate this year is because the field of athletes is so strong that as many as 10 teams can win and many more can beat those winners. This makes for a very exciting year ahead of us and all eyes will be on the FIVB World Championships to see if youth beats experience.â€
