While I used to frequent movie theatres often, it seems there's never time anymore. It's not a lack of interest or funds, there's just always something more pressing to attend to -- such as watching Cardinals games from the comfort of my sofa -- and invariably I'll miss the theatrical release.
Then the DVD release. Then maybe, if I remember, I'll catch it on IFC or one of the Encores (the only movie channels included in our satellite plan).
But no more. This year I resolve to make it out to see at least one of the following (in order of importance):
A Scanner Darkly
X-Men: The Last Stand
Superman Returns
The Borat Movie
Strangers with Candy
While Linklater's pretention and ego is normally too huge to fit a box of popcorn -- let alone an audience -- into a movie theatre, I must admit that my interest in all things "end of the world" is piqued. Plus, the film's rotoscoping animation style in of itself is enough to get me off the sofa...after all, it was is so captivating that I even sat through all of Waking Life at the Tivoli.
X-Men and Superman
I'm of the firm opinion that it's only worth seeing "Action" genred films on the big screen, with the big sound. Until I can set that up at home, regardless of how campy (i.e. Sky Captain, Harry Potter films), I'll always be willing to spring for the theatre.
Borat and Strangers
Regardless of how horrible these may turn out to be (The Onion's AV Club reviewer gave Strangers what-for), they feature some of my favorite comedians, so it's worth the risk to me.
Conversely, a movie I specifically intend to not see -- and I'm sure Fraction Jackson here is with me -- is this piece of shit. I was reminded that this disaster was in the works this weekend thanks to G4's promos for its Kevin Smith Icons feature, which was "brought to you by..." this film. Then I finally caught its nauseating trailer last night during the Cards game.
Kev, I used to love you...but I don't even know you anymore.

Paul Ryan Breaks Silence, Calls Trump's 'Shithole' Remark 'Unhelpful' And 'Very Unfortunate'
GOP Speaker Paul Ryan called President Trump's "shithole countries" remarks "very unfortunate" and "unhelpful" at a WisPolitics event in Milwaukee on Friday.
"The first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate, unhelpful," Ryan said. "But you know what I thought of right away? I thought of my own family.
"My family like a whole lot of people came from Ireland on what they called coffin ships and came here and worked the railroads. The Irish were really looked down upon in those days," Ryan addded.
"I hear all these stories from my relatives about 'Irish need not apply.' [The Irish] could basically get constructions jobs, cops or firefighter jobs. And James and Catherine Ryan came over and literally worked the railroad until they had enough money to buy a farm, which happened to be outside of Janesville, Wisconsin."
"Then their son, my great-grandfather, started a railroad business with horse plows and it's an earth moving business which to this day is run by my cousins. It is a beautiful story of America, and that is a great story."
"That is a story we have today, that is a story we had yesterday. And that is what makes this country so exceptional and unique in the first place," Ryan went on. "So I see this as something to celebrate and I think it's a big part of our strength, whether you are coming from Haiti. We've got great friends from Africa in Janesville who are doctors, who are just incredible citizens."

Evidence, better known as clues, is one of the main gameplay features in L.A. Noire. Evidence is used for the game's investigative part and are the most important items to find whilst trying to solve a case. They are found in crime scenes and at interrogations during all cases, and will help Cole Phelps to solve it. To find evidence in crime scenes, Phelps has to investigate the crime scene or the victim's body (if there is one) and interact with suspicious objects, that may lead him to further investigation. The evidence during interrogation are obtained by simply choosing the right answers during the interview, causing the suspect or witness to start talking the truth, or reveal what he/she is hiding. In both situations, there are several things that may aid Phelps while looking for evidence.
- As Phelps finds more evidence, he will have more options during the case's interrogations.
- Partners can also find evidence. If they find something interesting, they will call Phelps to take a look.
- Main pieces of evidence are easier to find, while the secondary ones are harder.
- Most of the evidence at a Homicide crime scene is usually found on top of the victim's body.
- The intuition points you receive may be used to highlight evidence at the crime scene, and when used, will show magnifying glasses on the minimap indicating unfound evidence.
- Several objects and elements are previously posted by the guards, which facilitates the search.
- The audio can also help the player to find evidence, as the background music is removed when all evidence is found and a little sound effect is heard when something looks suspicious.
- Sometimes the newspaper will appear in the crime scene, the music will not stop until you have viewed it.
- During a case, all evidence found will be noted inside of Phelps' notebook.

THE man representing rank-and-file police officers in Hampshire has welcomed chiefs' decision not to ask for powers to force officers to take redundancy.
The National Police Chiefs' Council met yesterday to discuss if they should ask the Home Office for the power in the wake of budget cuts.
Yesterday afternoon the NPCC chairwoman, chief constable Sara Thornton issued a statement saying chiefs would instead seek to modernise terms and conditions for officers and staff.
But she warned that this could be reviewed when cuts are announced by the Home Office later this year.
Hampshire Police Federation chairman John Apter said: 'We know that police budgets are going to be squeezed further but using a blunt and damaging tool such as compulsory severance for police officers would have been the wrong thing to do.'

CVS Health Larry Merlo Works Magic By Taking Over The Drug Enforcement Agency"
Merlo pulls another rabbit out of his hat
Washington DC – CVS Health Executive Director, Larry Merlo and his cast of greedy shareholders and slick attorneys deal the United States Government another major blow in their efforts to combat crime. Special interest groups are organized groups of individuals sharing common objectives who actively attempt to influence policy makers. Corporations now spend about $2.6 billion a year on reported lobbying expenditures—more than the $2 billion we spend to fund the House ($1.18 billion) and Senate ($860 million). It's a gap that has been widening since corporate lobbying began to regularly exceed the combined House-Senate budget in the early 2000s.
Today, the biggest companies have upwards of 100 lobbyists representing them, allowing them to be everywhere, all the time. For every dollar spent on lobbying by labor unions and public-interest groups together, large corporations and their associations now spend billions of dollars. Of the 100 organizations that spend the most on lobbying, 95 consistently represent business. Lobbying is nothing new to the U.S. Government and we have seen how special interest groups shape laws and trigger regulations for institutions like the Food and Drug Association (FDA) and we have seen how Big Pharma lobbied hundreds of health care bills in recent history, including the infamous Obamacare.
Larry Merlo of CVS Health and his train of corporate business lawyers has pulled-off the unthinkable, the biggest trick of all – They bought off the U.S. Government policing agencies designed to uphold the laws of the United States of America. This was a brilliant plan and most authorities consider this to be, one of the biggest tricks of the 21st Century. Everybody is talking about how Larry Merlo's special interest group infiltrated the DEA, a Government entity funded by U.S. Tax dollars, and buy off 52 of their top lawyers and access thousands of DEA confidential records, including top secret investigative and active investigate files.
Larry Merlo and many corporate leaders feared for their safety as the lucrative DEA closed in on their dubious practices, which were designed and engineered to cripple the American public by introducing pharmaceuticals that they knew would cause harm. Big Pharma is not only controlling the DEA with U.S. tax dollars backing them and their agenda, they are also in control of the United States Congress – a public statement made by Senator Bernie Sanders. CVS passed Legislation to strip the DEA's power to arrest corrupt Big Pharma executives passed with flying colors through the ranks of the Senate and Congress, surprisingly, without any objections by U.S. Government. The law to protect Big Pharma from prosecution should be repealed because corporate executives who bribed and paid-off government officials to provide protection for their own illegal crimes is not constitutional.

The aviation program at Rocky Mountain College, in Billings, Mont., has recently purchased a Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) Flight Management System (FMS) desktop simulator for use in a course on advanced cockpits.
The system is manufactured by Simulator Systems International/Wycat and is the same one used by 20 different airlines to train pilots in the details of glass cockpit operations. The system includes the same hardware as found in CRJ aircraft, including the FMS keypad and the autopilot mode control panel.
Students in the course also have hands-on training with Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems, Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems, and airborne color weather radar.
Rocky Mountain College offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Aeronautical Science and Aviation Management. Student pilots fly the Piper Archer III, Beech Bonanza, and Beech Baron, all equipped with Garmin 430 radio/navigation systems.
"While we recognize the importance of teaching basic stick and rudder skills, future employers expect our graduates to possess the skills necessary to fly technically advanced aircraft," said Dan Hargrove, director of aviation. "We're excited to teach our students a broad range of skills that will advance their careers."

Today's media has turned birth into a rather scary event, but it doesn't have to be that way. By educating yourself and making informed decisions in all aspects of your birth, you will be setting yourself up for a much more enjoyable day. And by having a doula, you will have access to continuous physical, emotional, and informational support which has been shown in studies to decrease those awful birthing complications we've all heard so much about.
I would love to help you achieve the birth experience you desire, assisting you in introducing your baby to the world on your terms. For some women, this means an unmedicated birth, while for others, an epidural is the way to go. Hospital birth, Birth Center birth, Home birth… The bottom line is that I will support you in whatever decisions you make!
Through my role as a birth doula, a Lamaze childbirth educator, an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor, a lactation counselor, and a Happiest Baby educator, I strive to make your complete birthing experience a positive one, helping you build confidence in yourself and your abilities.

His eminence, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) was asked concerning bid'ah (innovations).
Then he answered by saying:
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said regarding innovations:
"Be careful about the invented matters for every innovation is misguidance and every misguidance is in the fire."
And if this is so, then one has to be warned from following any innovation, whether it is initial or continual, for it is, as the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "in the fire", meaning that misguidance is the cause of the punishment in the fire and the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) warned his nation from the innovations necessitating that that they are a sheer corruption because the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said generally concerning this: "every innovation is misguidance".
Therefore, the innovations, in reality are indirect criticisms of the Shari'ah; because they necessicate the implication that the Shar'iah is incomplete and that the innovation is a more perfect form of worship to seek nearness to Allaah as the innovator claims.
Then to the innovator we say: "Every innovation is misguidance and every misguidance is in the fire". And it is a duty to warn about all the innovations and that mankind not worship Allaah except by what Allaah and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) have legislated.
In this way, one's Imaam will truly be the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), for whomsoever follows the path of innovation then he has made the innovator his Imaam in that innovation, instead of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).

Cathel is one of the most professional and honest agents I have ever met. When he first came to assess my home for sale it was a work in progress, since I had run out of money to do the work since I had to retire earlier than intended. He gave me a realistic valuation and arranged an open day which was well attended. I am hoping now that contracts may be exchanged close to the asking price. I would recommend Cathel to anyone looking to sell their property.

Written by Jaymi Naciri
A large, open kitchen may be the dream of most homebuyers today, but with restrictive budgets, smaller square footage, or homes that were built before this trend took over, not all are making the grade. If you find yourself with a smallish kitchen, there are ways to make it feel more spacious.
Knock down a wall
Removing a wall that blocks light or that separates the kitchen from the living or dining room is an easy choice for experienced renovators.
It's not a DIY job unless you or your friends/family are experienced in demolition, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring and ceiling repairs, and any other stuff that comes up.
Create a pass-through
If you can't take down a wall, you may be able to create a pass-through that brings light into your kitchen. If you can extend a counter through the new open space, you can also create a breakfast bar on the other side to add function.
KBR Remodel
A raised breakfast bar may provide great functionality for casual meals, but it also may be contributing to making your kitchen feel tight. Knocking down the raised level so that your breakfast bar is all counter height is a modern way to update your kitchen and one that will open it up and make it feel larger.
Use the same theory for furniture and other items in the space. "Certain elements—like backless barstools, wire kitchen islands, or glass pendant lights, for example—leave sight lines open and don't trip up your eye as you move around the room," said Apartment Therapy.
Clear the countertops
Messy or cluttered spaces look busy. For a more streamlined look, clear 'em off. It's easy and won't cost you a thing.
Luxury Home Designs
Light equals bright when it comes to a small space, which is great since white continues to be the most popular choice for kitchen cabinets today.
To maximize the effect, keep the wall color the same as the cabinets and extend to as many other surfaces as possible.
"White is your best friend in a small kitchen," said Better Homes and Gardens. "It reflects light, which enhances the sense of space and makes the wall seem to recede. When you carry the white from the cabinetry to the countertops, walls, and ceiling, you create a seamless space without edges or boundaries to stop the eye. Use several shades of white and combine contrasting textures to keep an all-white room from feeling sterile."
No matter what the predominant color is the space, keep the contrast low "so the eye doesn't trip over sudden shifts from dark to light. The effect is serene and expansive."
Don't avoid geometric patterns
You don't have to forgo geometric patterns in a small kitchen. In fact, if chosen right, those patterns can help you expand the feel of your kitchen.
"Choose geometric and striped walls and floors that draw the eye lengthwise or vertically and make the room appear longer or taller than it actually is," said Apartment Therapy. "If you can't change the floor itself, add a patterned runner that will add the same effect."
Pare down the cabinets
"Too many cabinets, especially if they're dark, will create the illusion that the room is much smaller than it is," said DIY Network. But if you're stretched for storage space as it is, getting rid of cabinets may not be practical. Swapping out your solid cabinet doors and replacing with glass can be just as effective.
"Glass fronts lighten the look of cabinetry and allow the eye to travel through to the back, which helps the kitchen seem more expansive," said Houzz. Want to do it yourself? Check out this tutorial.
Think about scale
Giant stuff in your tiny space will only make it look more cramped. "Select petite islands, slim chairs, streamlined stools and narrow tables that don't eat up valuable floor space," said Houzz. "Avoid chunky furniture legs or thick bases, which add visual bulk."

Isn't it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup can become your worst enemies afterwards? The thoughts you loved to think about, the memories you wanted to hold up to the light and view from every angle--it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box, far from the light of day and throw away the key. It's not an act of bitterness. It's an act if self-preservation. It's not always a bad idea to stay behind the window and look out at life instead, is it?

This project was inspired by a carrion flower. Carrion flowers, also known as corpse flowers or stinking flowers, emit an odor that smells like rotting flesh. Through this project I wanted to portray, quite literally, the idea of finding beauty in everything. I was inspired by the colors and form of the carrion flower.
All in all, this full skirt and corset was designed and created in order to portray finding beauty in everything.

Rabbi Alysa Mendelson Graf
Women have been rabbis for over forty years. No longer are women rabbis a unique phenomenon, rather they are part of the fabric of Jewish life. In this anthology, rabbis and scholars from across the Jewish world reflect back on the historic significance of women in the rabbinate and explore issues related to both the professional and personal lives of women rabbis. This collection examines the ways in which women in the rabbinate have impacted all aspects of Jewish life, including congregational culture, liturgical development, life cycle ritual, the Jewish healing movement, spirituality and theology.
Rabbi Mendelson Graf was ordained by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. She received her JD from Fordham University of Law and her BA from the University of Pennsylvania. She is currently the rabbi at Port Jewish Center in Port Washington, NY.

If you were looking for something a bit different in the color of your next phone, Samsung is adding the Coral Blue version of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ to their lineup in the U.S. market. We are used to seeing carrier exclusive phones, but in the case of the Coral Blue Galaxy S8 devices, the exclusivity is extended to a retailer – Best Buy – as well as Samsung themselves. The new color will be available for purchase starting this Friday, July 21.
If you pick up the new device from Best Buy, you will have the option of carrier-specific versions for Verizon, AT&T or Sprint as well as the unlocked version. Through their Samsung.com online store, the unlocked Coral Blue version will also be available from the manufacturer.
Sweetening the pot even more, Samsung indicates that purchases made at Best Buy between July 21st and July 29th may qualify a buyer for up to $400 off the retail price. Best Buy has not yet posted the details regarding this special promotion, but with that much of a potential discount it should definitely be something you check into if you are thinking of buying a new phone in the next week or so.
Although not as extensive, Samsung is also offering a promotional deal that can yield savings of $150 off the retail price of the Coral Blue and Midnight Black versions of the Galaxy S8 phones. Samsung will also accept trade-ins to help offset the cost even more.
Samsung says matching cases for Coral Blue will be available as well.

Gameloft have a good thing going with their Asphalt series of racing titles. Their newest, Asphalt Overdrive is less of a racing game, more of a running one.
Think Temple Run, only with some really exotic vehicles.
You don't actually control the car in this game, but only move it between lanes and do special stylish stunts. A variety of mission types are available that have you escaping the cops or defeating bosses, and the game looks absolutely stunning.
A peek at the official description:
"Discover the award-winning Asphalt series' first spinoff with Asphalt Overdrive, an intense arcade racing experience packed to go! Outrun the cops in an exciting game set in a "new '80s"-inspired version of California."
Can't go wrong with the 80s, that's for sure!
One issue though, is that this is a game best enjoyed on touch enabled devices. You can play it with mouse, for instance, but that is very much less than ideal.
You can purchase new cars with the money you earn while playing, or invest those funds into upgrades.
Speaking of which, this early build of Asphalt Overdrive needs a little more tuning. The game occasionally syncs out saying that it cannot find an Internet connection. Nothing the next update cannot fix. For now you can enjoy this universal game on x86, x64 and ARM versions of Windows.

Called, Anointed and Sent
I've just come away from a beautiful weekend—the last one of April. National poetry month is a mere memory. May is Mental Health Month and includes Mothers' Day to look forward to. Last week we attended our daughter Laura's Baccalaureate Worship Service on Friday evening and Commencement at Eastern Mennonite Seminary on Saturday. Once again I was caught up in celebrating another significant family milestone.
The scriptures say Jesus' mother Mary "pondered all of these things in her heart." I can identify with that sentiment—the wonder of the annunciation and giving birth, the way the Spirit moves in our lives with events that keep unfolding. It leaves us in awe, with a sense of both mystery and delight. There's no way to describe it. I too have had many things to ponder over the years. Eventually you don't want to keep quiet about them.
Years ago we adopted our first child, Jeremy and hoped for more children. But the progress was slow and discouraging for both adoption and conceiving a second child. At times I felt almost desperate. It became an overwhelming spiritual struggle, even an obsession. And I begged God for a miracle. I recall a night when I felt restless and sleepless as I leaned on the windowsill praying for this child who was only a figment of my imagination. I gazed up into the winter sky where a single bright celestial body—perhaps Venus, named for the goddess of love--shone down on me. As I watched, it transformed from a "wishing star" to a "promise star."
An older woman at church told me it is never "out of God's will" to pray to have a child and so I continued to pray. I also gathered up the biblical stories of barren women—Hannah, the mother of Samuel and Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist. I claimed them as my own story. I noted the way these mothers dedicated their children to God even before they were born. I would follow their example. In the margin of my oldest Bible I noted the date—March 6, 1977 next to Ps. 113:9. "He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children." Four years later, Laura was born on Valentine's Day. God was saying—"This is all about love—I've given you your heart's desire."
Soon after our grown-up daughter enrolled in seminary three years ago, I suddenly realized how our experience mirrored that of my biblical heroines. During Laura's internship at Lindale Mennonite Church in her second year of seminary training, we made it a point to hear her sermons. Her mentor there was Duane Yoder, who had previously been my parents' pastor in Florida. Laura's second sermon was based on an assigned text from the lectionary: the call of Samuel! I sat near the front of the beautiful new sanctuary at Lindale and marveled at God's faithfulness and unfailing love. (Not to mention the Almighty's good humor and fondness for beautiful surprises).
Graduation events this past weekend brought more confirmation of God's goodness and grace. The class theme for the 2006 graduating class of Eastern Mennonite Seminary was "Anointed and Sent to Bring Good News" from Isaiah 61:1-6a, NRSV (my favorite version!) Laura, whose last name since marriage to Brandon, is Laura Amstutz, was at the head of her class—the first to walk forward for a ceremonial anointing by a faculty member during baccalaureate—the first in line to receive her diploma the following day.
Most of the thirty-three members of Laura's graduating class have not been called to pastor a church. Many of them are considering forms of ministry beyond traditional definitions. Some are waiting for unknown destinations to be revealed. For now, Laura took a job at the seminary as a communication coordinator. It's a good fit, given her undergraduate degree. It will launch this new phase of her life as an employed adult.
Laura told us she knows she will be in ministry no matter what job she accepts, no matter where she lives or what assignments come her way. As for me, I have no trouble imagining her as the pastor of a church one day. I can't forget the strange feeling of sitting in a pew listening to her. I was caught up in her message as if she were someone else—no longer the little girl I dressed in a pink frilly bonnet and pushed down the street in a stroller. She's been called, anointed and sent--to bring Good News. I knew it from the beginning. Listening that day confirmed it.
She's called to difficult and joyful work. It is a ministry we all share--bringing good news to the poor and oppressed; binding up the brokenhearted; announcing liberty to the captives; comforting mourners, repairing ruined cities, and raising up former devastations. One thing I know--she's a natural at dispensing the "oil of gladness." That was part of her job description right from the beginning. You go girl!

5 Best Liu Sha Bao aka Golden Custard Buns in Singapore. Let's Ooze!
by admin
[Will be updating this list. Let me know if any new and good ones have popped up.] Talk about dim sum in Singapore, the Liu Sha Bao or Golden Lava Custard Buns are one of the top orders. Considered a new dim sum item first made popular in Hong Kong, the uniqueness is in its creamy runny egg custard filling made with salted egg yolk and butter.
Perhaps it is our obsession with flowing food items. What makes a Liu Sha Bao tick?
To me, it's the soft outer bun layer, steamy oozing golden lava when bitten into, the after taste of the salted egg yolk, and that special X-factor. Some buns just have that extra oomph. (Read: 5 Oozing Food That Singaporeans Love)
When I did an informal poll via facebook and instagram, the usual Chinese restaurant names were contributed: Crystal Jade, Canton Paradise, East Ocean, Man Fu Yuan, Imperial Treasure, The Cathay Restaurant (now closed permanently), and Victor's Kitchen – the humble shop at Sunshine Plaza (now also at Chinatown Point) most known for this particular dim sum.
I ventured far to try more than 10 different restaurants, and became excitedly surprised by some of the lesser-known names. These are what I consider the 5 Best Liu Sha Bao in Singapore.
Mouth Restaurant
68 Orchard Road Plaza Singapura 238839 (Dhoby Gaut MRT)
Opening Hours: 11:30am – 10:00pm (Mon-Fri), 11am – 10pm (Sat-Sun)
Reserve Now
Mouth Restaurant may not be the number one dim sum restaurant to many, and its branch at Plaza Singapura can be so quiet that it feels cold an un=atmospheric just dining there. Maybe I am bias.
But Mouth Restaurant's custard bun ($5.60 for 3) is one of the few presented with baked crust, with skin slightly crumply yet still soft. (Think Tim Ho Wan Singapore buns with custard fillings)
The inside is not the usual milky creamy, but buttery where the salted egg yolk texture is distinctly grainy. The flow is thick and slow, like bright yellow lava of the volcano flowing down that may set your heart racing with anticipation.
Taste Paradise 味之楼
ION Orchard #04-07 (Orchard MRT) Tel: +65 6509 9660
Opening Hours: 11:30-3:00pm, 6:00-11:00pm (Mon-Fri), 11:00-11:00pm (Sat-Sun)
Canton Paradise and Paradise Pavilion serve Liu Sha Bao of the same recipe, but it is Taste Paradise's version ($5.50 for 3) that is a slight cut above the rest.
The reason? Paradise's Group best dim sum shifu are found at Ion's Taste Paradise, hand-making these custard buns fresh, steaming them for an exact 5 minutes. The texture is creamy smooth and colour vibrant yellow.
The best word used to describe these treasures? Delicate.
Bosses Restaurant 黑社会
#02-156/157 Vivocity, 1 Harbourfront Walk (Harbourfront MRT), Tel: +65 6376940
Opening Hours: 11:00am-9:30pm Daily
Bosses only serve 2 dim sum items during dinner time – the Liu Sha Bao and Xiao Long Bao. Both are exceptional, I mean, when you compare to their other dishes.
The restaurant with its modern black walls is relatively quieter than all the other restaurants at Vivocity which see queues during the weekends. The Signature Custard Lava Bun ($4.20) is worth my trip here, arriving steaming hot, and the orangey yellow skin remains supple fluffy even after a while.
The filling flows, flows and flow – very generous, and somewhat more to the watery side.
Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck
#05-42/45 Paragon, 290 Orchard Rd. Singapore 238859 (Orchard MRT), Tel: +65 6732 7838
Opening Hours: Lunch 11:30am-2:45pm (Mon-Fri), 11am-2:45pm (Sat), 10:30am-2:45pm (Sun); Dinner 6-10:30pm Daily
Imperial Treasure's group of restaurants always have a certain quality to their dim sum, and do you know the restaurant at Paragon branch is the one which is ranked Asia's 50 Best Restaurant? (Only Chinese restaurant from Singapore on that list too.)
The buns are almost perfectly shaped, with the taste striking an appropriate balance between sweet and sugar. Unlike some other buns which can get too oily or rich, you would find it easy to pop more than one.
Swee Choon Tim Sum Restaurant
187/188/191 Jalan Besar Singapore 20882 Tel: +65 6225 7788
Opening Hours: 6pm-6am (Wed-Mon), Closed Tues
This is a choice between Swee Choon's and Victor's Kitchen. (I wanted a range from restaurants to more casual eateries.)
I finally picked Swee Choon (although I know many will differ in opinion) because Swee Choon ($3 for 3) has a better consistency and a more pleasant eating environment (even though both fall under the same type.)
Swee Choon's interpretation is slightly sweeter, while Victor's has the stronger salted egg yolk savour. While some of Swee Choon's dim sum are not as consistent as we have liked (there was one particular time it didn't really flow), its Golden Lava buns have always been outstanding for a shop with modest beginnings, with one of my friends exclaiming it is "life-changing".
Royal China Restaurant
03-09 Raffles Hotel Arcade, Raffles Hotel, 1 Beach Road Singapore 189673 Tel: +65 6338 3363
Opening Hours: 12:00-3:00pm, 6-10:30pm (Mon-Sat), 11:00am-2:00pm, 600-10:30pm
Almost made it to the 5. Contrary to what many may think, Royal China is not as steep in price even though it is in Raffles Hotel. Royal China's version has the addition of mango juice to the custard, thus the slightly sweeter finish. Though the bun did not ooze enough to draw the oooohs and ahhhhs, unfortunately.
Tell me which is your personal favourite Liu Sha Bao in Singapore and why?

I have only tried Swee Choong's one in the above of your list.. But Peony Jade's custard bun at Keppel Cub is very good, served during their dim dum time, the bun skin is fluffy, and served very hot, the custard cream is soft and leaking out when u peel into half.. the salted yolk added a tinge of saltiness to the taste too!

You missed out Peony Jade. Die Die Must Try
Rozita : November 8, 2013 at 9:35 am
Sorry Daniel, I have always thought custard bun=奶皇包,shouldn't liusha bao be salted egg bun? Or are they the same? Cos I've tried these two different bao in Hong Kong, and they are very different.
swee choon? you're kidding me. 3 times I've tried and it's solidified custard instead.
I am 3 times lucky then. All 3 baskets of buns flowed. But I can imagine that it is a place where the custard can be solidfied. Hard to QC there.
You seem to have missed Imperial Treasure in Crown Plaza, Changi Airport T3. Once you have tried the Liu Sha Bao there, the rest pales in comparison. I introduced my friends and business partners from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and this has been rated even better than those countries'. Try it one day and you may be surprise.
Zhe Heng : November 8, 2013 at 8:24 am

Ethics and the promotion of inclusiveness within qualitative research: Case examples from Asia and the Pacific

Qualitative researchers are often confronted by ethical challenges when making research decisions because current guidelines and principles guiding research ethics do not wholly cover the concerns that can arise in complex social research situations. In this article, the authors explore this dilemma in relation to our experiences of conducting sensitive qualitative research with vulnerable groups in developing countries of Asia and the Pacific. With a focus on informed consent, the authors offer three case examples to explicate the difficulties faced in matching ethics theory with proforma approval requirements, which may limit the application of more expansive approaches to research design. To conclude, the authors put forth recommendations for modifications to the ethics system as a whole to promote greater collaboration and inclusion of qualitative researchers to the review and practice of research ethics in Australia. © The Author(s) 2010.

Diary Day 4 – Into the Storm
The weather's meant to change today. Cool and cloudy early so we set out straight after brekky and decide to take the " long route" because it seemed more scenic, and not that much longer. But we get mixed up near Highpark Wood. Track closed beyond Swirls for logging!
Go back down near the water, take another wrong turn at Great How, waste an hour before we get to the dam wall and it starts to rain, of course. We haven't really gone far. Easy walking along track and road and fairly sheltered at first. Lunch at Armboth, raining heavier now and little protection. My waterproof camera has a dead battery and it's too wet to get my Sony out, so no photos from now on, you'll have to take my word for it all.
Through a gate and up a hill, sheep and bracken, pine plantation to our left. Maybe we're actually in that Rob Roy movie. Not too hard a climb, but rain in our faces, wind swirling the clouds. Notes say head uphill on clear path till you reach a cairn at the top, then straight down. One paragraph. Easy.
After an hour the path disappears. Other walkers coming down so we go where they came from. Meet a broken wall, not in the notes which are disintegrating now from the rain. Press on cold and anxious. Absolutely wet through, except for Vicki who's packed wet weather clothing. No cairn. Various paths appear and disappear in the mist. Visibility no more than 50 yards. They still use yards in this part of the world.
My sister falls behind.
Very boggy as the slope starts to level out. Wet through and through, boots squelching, face zipped up in my parka but it is no longer waterproof. Eventually we reach the plateau of High Tove, and there is a cairn! And a gate not in notes but clear on the map.
Driving rain and howling wind. Head across the top and start to descend. Track is clearer but ground boggier, if possible. Down into the picturesque hamlet of Watendlath. Along a beautiful valley with a river, bridges, oak woods, then up and over Mossmire Coppice.
Again notes don't make sense, near a pretty stream and waterfall. But we just press on, passing some schoolboys on a hill heaving on a rope in the rain. Wish I could get the camera out. Pictures tell a hundred words don't they?
We head downhill, glimpse the Derwent Water and figure this very steep path should lead to High Lodore. Legs barely coping with the downwards slope. Eventually Borrowdale Hotel, very swish with a wide driveway and high ceilings. Wet through, we timidly ask for the pay phone to call for a taxi, in hushed tones, to carry us to Keswick. The driver is nice and friendly, but she puts a blanket across the seat since we are so wet! Thus we arrive at Keswick, a lovely town full of greying g tourists and wet walkers. Pubs, restaurants and a dozen outdoor clothing shops. A Moot Hall in the tiny market square, one of the relatively few recognised Saxon remnants in the whole country, once the meeting place of the local Hundred. Too much history, even a pencil museum (remember Cumberland Pencils and Derwents?) so a lovely dinner before the fire in the Kings Arms, chatting with other visitors and drinking Pinot Grigio. A fabulous few days!

State Rep. Hearcel Craig (D-Columbus) applauded the awareness raised by this week's eighth annual Human Trafficking Awareness Day at the Ohio Statehouse. The event, organized by state Rep. Teresa Fedor (D-Toledo), brought together law enforcement officials, advocates and survivors from all over the nation for a day of discussion on ways to raise awareness and fight back against human trafficking in Ohio.
"Human trafficking isn't a problem from centuries ago or that happens only in far off lands – it affects thousands of vulnerable Ohioans today in communities across the state," said Craig, who gave the invocation at the event. "For this reason, Human Trafficking Awareness Day is so vital to our continued efforts to raise awareness and develop strategies to finally bring an end to modern day slavery."
Numerous state officials and anti-trafficking advocates delivered remarks during the morning session, and hundreds of event attendees later participated in breakout panels focused on law enforcement and social work topics. A portion of the afternoon was reserved for human trafficking survivors to share their experiences.
This year's keynote speaker was Dr. Elaine Richardson, an author, artist, Ohio State University professor and human trafficking survivor.
Human trafficking is estimated to affect more than 1,000 Ohio children every year, and more than 3,000 Ohio children are considered to be at high risk for trafficking. According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Information Crime Reports, Ohio has ranked as high as fifth among all states in total reported human trafficking cases, with Toledo ranking as the fourth highest city in the nation for recruiting victims into the illegal trade.

BMD's top broker based on FCPO trading volume, shared his outlook on FCPO and how it can be a great alternative investment, when done correctly.
By Ariel Chew
Crude palm oil futures (FCPO) is rapidly gaining momentum. Last year, FCPO formed 80% of all contracts traded on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives (BMD) Exchange and the numbers are rising.
According to Attan Akmar, Executive Director Dealing, TA Futures Sdn Bhd, in the month of February 2017, institutions accounted for 72% of the volume traded compared to 28% for retail and speculative
traders. In the advanced markets the reverse is the case.
"The trading of crude palm oil futures (FCPO) is done by speculators to gain from the price movement of the contract on the exchange. The volume of contracts traded by speculators is a testament of the profitability of trading the FCPO," said Attan (right).
"As a rule, speculators exit their positions once they have made a profit which is usually well before the settlement date and they usually trade the same contract numerous times before the settlement date," he explained.
Factors to Look Out For
According to Attan, the price of physical crude palm oil (which translates to the FCPO price) is subject to several influencing factors:
- Changes in other competing edible oils, primarily soy oil.
- The Ringgit exchange rate. A fall in the Ringgit makes the price attractive to foreign buyers and therefore increased demand from them will raise the FCPO price.
- Adverse weather conditions which will reduce production quantities and boost the price
- The price of crude oil when it is high enough to make it profitable to blend cheaper palm oil into bio-fuel
- The seasonal variation in palm oil yield. The peak season is between July and October with the trees taking a rest towards the year end
- Festival periods during which demand will increase from major palm oil importers. China buys for the Lunar New Year holidays, India buys for Deepavali while Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Middle East buy for Eid.
- Indonesian palm oil output since it is the biggest producer, and
- Immigration rules since the plantations primarily depend on imported labour for harvesting.
One has to look at all the above influences as well as general economic conditions in the importing countries in order to make a good assessment of the FCPO price trends.
A Viable Alternative Investment
In the past few weeks, Attan noted an upsurge in FCPO volume which indicates that the market is active and fully reacting to developments in the industry.
"There is now still a shortfall of supply resulting from the El Nino phenomenon in 2016 and the experts are saying that it will only be around July 2017 that supply and demand will equalise if weather remains accommodative till then.
"In the long run, demand growth will outpace that of supply but price volatility will continue as different factors come into play," he surmised.
"There are many advantages of trading futures including the opportunity to profit from both rising and falling prices. Only between 4% to 8% of the total cost of a futures contract is required to be deposited as margin; as such the return (and loss) on investment can be very high.
"With online trading being offered by all brokers, one can conduct his trading just anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection," he stated.
Keys to Success
As opposed to the hedging of physical positions by the palm oil industry players, the trading of FCPO by speculators requires much more skill and analysis. Speculators provide the necessary market liquidity to enable the hedgers to enter and exit the market.
The traders' profits are derived from the price volatility of FCPO and this same volatility together with the leveraged nature of futures can bring the trader huge profits or damaging losses. For every trade, the trader must beforehand determine how much loss he can absorb.
"The trading gurus usually suggest that this must not exceed 2% of the total capital employed. The trader then works out by how much the price can move before this 2% loss is reached," shared Attan.
"This stop loss price must be adhered to religiously to preserve his trading capital and there is no place for emotion or wavering, something that is difficult to do for a novice trader. When the price moves in favour of the trader he should ride the gain as long as practicable before exiting. Those who have mastered this technique are the ones who survive in the market," he added.
He cautions that while many individuals trade futures for a living, a novice trader must first learn the ropes by going through training and investing a little at a time, cutting losses without being emotional about it and riding on the profits for as long as possible.

The Sorbonne deserves its prestige and reputation but the ancient university may have to undergo profound changes to face the future, according to France's National Evaluation Committee.
The committee's report on Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne University - its 92nd institution survey - makes it one of the last but clearly by no means the least of France's universities to be scrutinised.
It summarises the Sorbonne's present situation as "the result of centuries of history confronted by an abrupt rift in 1968". After the Sorbonne-centred student revolt of May 1968, higher education in Paris was broken up into a series of multi-site separate universities.
Today, Paris I University has some 40,000 students (a tenth of the greater Paris intake) and more than 900 teaching staff scattered over no fewer than 19 sites. Its tradition, says the report, is one of the individualism of its academics and the autonomy of the different disciplines.
The report focuses on three strengths - its ability to draw top-ranking academics and gifted postgraduates and the intellectual environment afforded by its Latin quarter location, specialised libraries, research seminars and stream of prestigious visiting academics.
Paris I is able to attract top academics at the peak of their careers. Transfer from another institution rather than promotion through the ranks is the norm. This trend is "strong enough to allow Paris I to pick and choose".
With more than 900 teaching academics and 300 researchers, the university has one of the largest staffs in France.
But the university also has its weaknesses, such as poor student- staff ratios. The ratio has moved from 47:1 in 1988 to 40:1.
Paris I president Yves Jegouzo says in his contribution that overcrowding is severe, with five students competing for each square metre of library space. Looking to the future, the report asks whether "two of its current strengths", the "gigantic" size of Paris I and its fragmented structure are not "potential sources of weakness".
Its size "reinforces individualism and makes efficient use of resources harder at a time when collective efforts are increasingly necessary to achieve excellence and when optimum use of resources has become imperative".
The report recommends that the university will not be able to "elude the issue of size and the possible, even probable contradiction between expansion and quality".
It calls for a "major effort at rethinking internal organisation" which currently features "strong centralisation of administration and equally strong decentralisation of pedagogical responsibilities".
The report strongly approves the regrouping of central Paris universities which, it says, "could represent a possibly unparalleled potential".Since the report was written, eight inner Paris universities are setting up the "Universities of Paris", an association which will be used to pool resources and coordinate dealings with the education authorities.
"The wounds born of the 1969 division have now healed and co-operation has become possible", noted M. Jegouzo. He described the Latin Quarter as "undoubtedly the biggest campus in the world and the one where (as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon model of university towns) the integration of town and university has been most successful".

Underrated genius
Selo | Sandy Spring, MD | 04/05/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"All kinds of negativity towards this album, and any other Goo Goo Dolls album, baffles me. Gutterflower is a direct collection of songs overflowing with emotion, and it's very underrated because many people believe nothing else can ever live up to 1998's Dizzy Up the Girl. That was indeed a fantastic album and just as great as everything before and after it, but Gutterflower's darker focus and heavier sound are rolled up into a fantastic follow-up that earned its place on 2002's charts.
After a listen to the CD's twelve tracks, which are expertly but not overly produced and have some of the most veteran lyrics on the market, it's hard to believe that this is the same band that spawned lines like "And when I get some cash it's already been spent / Oh, I can smoke and drink but I can't pay my rent". This is in no way a knock to their earliest work (I own and love all but their first release which I am dying to get), but you can tell the evolution this band has undergone.
That being said, the Goo Goo Dolls journey back to their rock roots here after a string of hit ballads from Dizzy Up the Girl. Starting off with the explosive "Big Machine", the Buffalo trio's prowess couldn't be more obvious--this song has some of the most amazing lyrics and captivating hooks the band has ever generated. It's succeeded by the humid "Think About Me" and the album's tender, polished single, "Here Is Gone". Bassist Robby Takac takes the lead for the first time in "You Never Know", and then thrice more in "Up Up Up", "Smash", and "Tucked Away". His songs have a wily flair and his voice a gruff, crusty quality; both of which are far too often berated or overlooked.
The album's shady and ruthless side surfaces at last in countercultural anthem "What A Scene" and "It's Over", the latter giving off waves of despair John Rzeznik has only barely hinted at in other tracks. His voice begins in a hollow whisper that fits the mood perfectly. Other standouts among the gloomy half of the CD include "What Do You Need?" and concluding song "Truth Is A Whisper", equally murky and guitar-driven, while the pure acoustic piece "Sympathy" is clearer in sound but just as sensitive in wording. The aforementioned "Smash" and "Tucked Away" let some light shine through the rafters, with the vigor that the Goos have had for all twenty years of their career.
Though many passersby would be disappointed by the band's decision to stray away from Dizzy Up the Girl-esque material, even casual or passing fans should pick this up regardless, for the skill in songwriting and musicianship speaks volumes, and with the album's theme being more rock than string pop it may even pique the interest of fans of the older recordings. With Gutterflower the Goo Goo Dolls succeeded in branching out to a unique approach to their decades-old passion, and it's a beautiful thing."
L. Ely | Columbia, SC, USA | 07/13/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I'm a biased commentator because I am a HUGE Goo Goo Dolls fan, but this cd is great. It's a great blend of faster songs with a couple of really good slow songs as well.
Definitely a recommended buy, as it's the only GGD cd that I've found with lyrics in the liner notes."
Another Great Album By The Goos!
L. Ely | 04/10/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I think that the Goo Goo Dolls are a great band, and this may be of their best albums yet! Sadly, this album was WAY underrated because everybody thinks that nothing can compare to Dizzy Up The Girl. Different than Dizzu Up the Girl, but definately as good. This album has a heavier sound than DUTG. This album shows the Goos darker side and songs inspired from living in LA and John Rzeznik's divorce. Amazing lyrics in this album, and I would highly reccomend it to everyone. Here are some stand out tracks.
Big Machine- Goos always always have great openers. Hard-rocking and catchy, could get stuck in your head for days. Love the guitar. 10/10
Think About Me- Another great song! Songwriting is amazing! At one point in the song before the guiatar solo, I heard John scream Oww!. It turns out he was shocked. 9/10
Here is Gone- This song is Gutterflower's equivalent of Iris or Name. It got a lot of radio play. Great Lyrics. 9.5/10
What a Scene- Undoubtebly the heaviest song of the album. Great song! Only thing I have to complain about are the endless na na na's at the end of the song. 8/10
Up Up Up- This is the best Robby Takac song of the album! It is very catchy, but short. It is a very happy upbeat song. 8/10
Sympathy- Great Song! This song has just an acoustic guitar and John singing. It is short, but complete. The guitar is very catchy and the lyrics are genius! 9.5/10
Truth is a Whisper- Perfect song for closing! This song is so good, it's almost haunting. 7.5/10"
