The Thomaston-Upson Board of Education unanimously approved a budget amendment to add $3,000 for the use of a drug-sniffing dog program at the high school and middle school. The action came at their Dec. 11 meeting.
Board member Keith Rohling brought the issue up, stating that dating back to when his kids were in high school, students who may have been suspected of bringing drugs to school always seem to be absent whenever law enforcement drug-sniffing dogs come in.
"I'm not saying anything about our local law enforcement or anything like that," said Rohling, "but no matter how you talk about it or make arrangements for it, somebody is going to find out."
Rohling noted that he had talked with representatives of Interquest Detection Canines of Georgia at the recent state conference for Board of Education members and found their method of conducting drug searches in schools to be more private.
"In talking to them, it is not if you can keep it quiet, it is just not talking about it at all," he said. "Their process is they get the dates we don't want them in the schools, and all the rest are fair game. Until they show up, you won't know. I like that idea."
Greg Holder, a Client Manager with Interquest, was present at the meeting and explained the process more to the BOE members.
"What we do is, we'll show up at the high school and do a period's worth of classrooms," said Holder. "We'll have the administrators pick the classrooms. Then there is usually about two and a half extra hours of doing parking lots and commons areas – bathrooms, lockers, locker rooms – any areas you want me to go. It is enough time to get a really broad view of the school and let everybody see.
"Granted, when I show up and walk in that front door and they first see me, everybody in the school knows in about five minutes, and that's okay. If they're going to dump their belongings, we're going to find it, or they're going to flush it down the toilet and then it is not in your school anymore and you've really ruined their day, because they are not getting it back."
Holder stated that Interquest normally does an assembly with the students in the school first, to let them know what to expect.
"The most important part of our program is the assembly, because everything in our program is not geared to be a surprise. We want the students to be completely aware of absolutely everything that we're doing, except for the day that we're showing up. That is the only thing that has to be a surprise. So the most effective part of our program is when we get to come in, speak to the students first, tell them who we are, what we do. I bring Copper along with me. We bring him because he is cute and obedient, and we do a demonstration. We talk about what we can find and what the process is when we show up. That way everybody has a visual buy-in to the program and can see that it actually works."
Board member Angie McGill asked if the drug detection program could also be used at the middle school.
Holder replied that it can, and that actually, they find the assembly can work better at the middle school level because it gets the students thinking about what could happen sooner.
"We believe our program is very effective at the middle school level. You can get to a middle school and teach a sixth grader that it is not okay to bring the stuff to school, then by the time they are seniors, they never think about bringing it to school.
"Where we get most of our alerts are at the high school level," Holder noted. "Where we get alerts at the middle school level are not what we would call major alerts. Our dogs find not just drugs; they find alcoholic beverages, gun powder, and medication, and generally, a middle school student does not have access to medication, guns, firecrackers, or alcoholic beverages as much as a high school student would.
"We believe our program is much more effective at the middle school level than at the high school level, but it does take a good amount of effectiveness to be realized in terms of your results, as the sixth graders move up into the high school level."
Cost of the program is $425 a visit, and Holder suggested that since half the school year is already gone, that they think about doing one assembly and search at the middle school, one assembly and three searches at the high school, and one search at the alternative school. Alternative school students could be bused to the high school to take part in the assembly. The total would be $2,975.
Board chair Terrell Jackson echoed the sentiments of the BOE by stating he thought the program would be worthwhile.
"I think this is a great idea - money well spent," said Jackson. "And I like the idea that we're not trying to catch them. What we're trying to do is keep them from being caught at school."
Rohling made a motion to amend the budget to add $3,000 to cover the assemblies and searches. Board vice chair Jacqueline Hollis seconded the motion and it was approved, 7-0.

Don't call Staff Sgt. Salvatore "Sal" Giunta a hero.
Don't say that he went above the call of duty when he single-handedly stopped two terrorists from kidnapping his wounded buddy during a ferocious firefight in Afghanistan in 2007.
Because as Giunta sees it, he was just doing his job. He didn't do anything that any other paratrooper in 1st Platoon, Battle Company, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team -- or anyone in the United States military for that matter -- wouldn't have done, and he can't quite understand what all the fuss is about.
Medal of Honor posthumously awarded to Staff Sgt. Robert J. Miller
What is it?
The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest medal for valor in combat that can be awarded to members of the armed forces. Since the medal's creation in 1862, there have been more than 3,400 recipients; more than 2,000 of those were Soldiers.
What has the Army done?
Thursday, President Obama spoke with Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta to inform him that he will be awarded the Medal of Honor for acts of gallantry at the risk of his life that went above and beyond the call of duty.
Giunta will be the first living servicemember to be awarded the Medal of Honor for service in Iraq or Afghanistan. The President thanked Sergeant Giunta for his service and extraordinary bravery in battle.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians from EOD Training and Evaluation Unit 2 received awards during an awards ceremony held at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Ft. Story, Aug. 23.

Dear friend,
In 1987, I enrolled as a student at Columbia International University. CIU attracted me because of the university's heart for reaching the nations with the message of Jesus Christ. That focus kept me here after graduation as a professor, provost and now president. Today, CIU continues its mission of reaching the world with the message of Christ by educating people from a Christian worldview. We provide students not only with an excellent education, but add an emphasis on character transformation and the necessary ministry skills to make a world of difference for the name of Christ.
As you surf the pages of the CIU website, you will see the fabric that makes us distinct. Our motto: "to know Him and to make Him known" clearly captures the tapestry God has woven since 1923. If your heart resonates with what you read and you would like to know more about CIU, please let us know how we may serve you.
Dr. William H. Jones
President - Columbia International University

Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine (9780443064487)
Publisher: Churchill Livingstone
Binding: Hardcover
This major, new book is a complete, easily accessed and highly illustrated guide to diagnosis in Chinese Medicine. Emphasis is placed on "real world" issues and symptoms, and the text focuses on clear interpretations of signs and symptoms - the practice beyond the theory. Since Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a subjective appraisal of the patient's symptoms and signs - which form a pattern - many factors beyond traditional Western symptoms are taken into consideration e.g. a patient's voice, the absence of thirst, feeling hot or cold, the patient's smell, tone of voice, glitter of eyes. Thus, Chinese diagnosis is based on a subtle appraisal of a patient's disharmony, which may not be a "disease" at all, and as such requires careful interpretation of a range of nuances. This book will help lead students and practitioners through basic on to sophisticated levels of diagnostic interpretation.
- Provides a clinical understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.
- Offers an unparalleled depth of information that is meticulously cross referenced.
- Includes all the signs and symptoms, however subtle, with which a modern patient may present in the clinic.
- Provides clinical experience and understanding from a leader in the field of Chinese medicine.
- Clearly outlines the decision making options in key situations to help readers through the most challenging topics.
- Logically organised so readers can quickly find the information they need in clinical situations.
- Well illustrated support for practitioner and student alike. Includes 16 page colour plate section.

Great Book!
Another very good offering from one of TCMs best known Western exponents. Maciocia breaks diagnosis down into ever multiplying layers and sub-layers, offering possible explanations for even the most minute observation. Its good information but occasionally mixes classical TCM theory with Maciocias own ideas.

Over the past two seasons, my opinion on #ghostbracket games has changed. Initially, and before I began writing for this site, I was in favor of tournaments such as the CBI and CIT. I felt that they rewarded teams for a successful season, gave teams extra practices to give younger players more experience, and served as a final hurrah for the graduating seniors.

— Kent State vs. Akron - Cleveland, OH
Whenever I watch Kent State and Akron play on television, one thing the announcers always mention is how close the two schools are. Depending on the announcer, I've heard 14, 11, and 12. When I went to Google Maps, I discovered that depending on the route, the schools are either 14, 11, or 12 miles apart, depending on the route that you take. In any event, the two schools are close, and because they draw from students in the same geographic area in Northeast Ohio, the two are natural rivals. It also doesn't hurt that the two school have both had success in the MAC Tournament, and as I mentioned during a recent challenge, meet often in the tournament. This meeting would be the fifth tournament meeting in the last seven years between the two schools.

Butler and Us

Ian McCormick
While mid-majors are making the Final Four more in the past, it still has not been that common. George Mason in 2006 (written about by Raymond Curren) was the first true mid-major in the modern era of college basketball to make the Final Four. Butler also made it of course in 2010 and 2011, VCU did in 2011 as well, and now Wichita State. All of those schools are either in the Midwest or Virginia; places I like and have been to before but not often. I have never seen any of those four schools at home before. And of course I am a Big South fan, where the best Gregg Marshall was able to do with any of our schools was to make the Round of 32. And that was only once. My school High Point has never come closer than the conference final, which it has not made since 2004. The mid-majors I feel deeply connected to just never go far. The only exception to that are the teams of Southern Illinois in the mid-2000s that I saw during Christmas break when my dad returned to his alma mater. And I have also seen 2008 Elon and 2013 Florida Gulf Coast make Sweet 16 runs after having seen them narrowly escape in gyms much tinier (Elon and USC Upstate respectively) than the domes they would eventually reach. But they did not reach the Final Four, although Davidson was certainly close. But following this website made me feel somewhat connected to everybody, particularly Butler in 2010.

— George Mason at Charleston -
After the last loss at Davidson, College of Charleston fans were heartbroken. They were not going back to the NCAA Tournament. But C of C did get a consolation prize: a trip to the CBI! The CBI is the College Basketball Invitational, run by the Gazelle Group which an independent organization dedicated to creating college basketball tournaments and other special events. The tournament is a very prestigious event that is very exciting. Just look at the promo video on the official tournament webpage! Who would not want to be a part of that? The answer to that is College of Charleston fans apparently. Many fans on their message board did not understand why they were playing in this tournament. After all, this is what Kyle calls a "ghost bracket". These teams as far as Kyle is concerned have both reached death. Some College of Charleston fans also thought this as well, even though they were hosting here! And while I am fine with the minor tournaments, I was barely aware (or cared) that my school High Point would be playing the following night at UC Irvine in the CIT after its loss to Liberty in the Big South quarterfinals. And that counts as our first ever post-conference tournament game at the Division I level! So why do we play these games? In part it is to give seniors like C of C's Andrew Lawrence one last game. And it also gives the players on these teams one last shot to practice as well before they are forbidden from doing so during the offseason.

— Charleston vs. Davidson - Asheville, NC
After spending the last week watching Liberty win both the Big South women's and men's titles, I wanted a break from watching the conquest by an empire. So I decided to spend a lot more money and make the trip to Asheville and the Southern Conference Tournament, our oldest conference tournament. Neither Davidson or College of Charleston are underprivileged like Charleston Southern of course. Davidson made the Elite Eight five years ago with a future NBA star in Stephen "Flash" Curry. And College of Charleston is following the big boys in being an active participant in conference realignment by leaving for the Colonial, showing that it is not just the schools above the Red Line who are trying to move into conferences with little geographic sense. But these are both true mid-majors, with neither school trying to become a national empire like Liberty. Whoever won would be the closest school to me in the NCAA Tournament, and a team worth rooting for. So this would be a fun game to watch. And I will document it like I did with the Charleston Southern/Gardner-Webb game and tell the story here in pictures, championship style!

— Liberty vs. Charleston Southern - Myrtle Beach, SC
I have been a reader of this website regular since Season 4 after being in and out of the first three seasons on here. The reason I became a dedicated reader is because Kyle Whelliston connected to me more than any other sports writer. His experience was going to the same games I did, literally going to six of the same games in Season 4 that I did. He actually watched mid-major basketball and was the only writer out there who viewed Our Game the same way I did. He wrote excellent articles I could relate to about traveling, overcoming financial disadvantages, and even the burnout that led him to turning the writing on here over to the readers. I agree with Kyle far more often I disagree with him. I agree with him about what constitutes an "upset" when most basketball fans do not. I also feel disheartened watching our teams lose during the NCAA Tournament as he does. But with any writer you love, you end of being disappointed the more you know them. And for me, I just do not have the same romantic feeling Kyle has of conference tournaments.

In the round of 32 in San Jose, the first game of the afternoon matched fourth-seeded Saint Louis University with the (underseeded?) twelfth-seeded University of Oregon. The Billikens (28-6) reached this game by defeating WAC Champion New Mexico State 64-44 on Thursday; they had won their prior five games consecutively, including a sweep through the Atlantic Ten tournament, defeating Charlotte, Butler and VCU on consecutive days. The Ducks (27-8) got to this game by defeating the Oklahoma State Cowboys 68-55; Oregon's four-game win streak included wins over Washington, Utah, and UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament. The two programs had only met once, a 1976 Oregon victory in Portland's Far West Classic.

— Montana vs. Syracuse - San Jose, CA
Going to the NCAA tournament is an interesting process. Within an hour or so of the selections and seeding being announced, each school's designated contact is called by the NCAA's travel agency about plans for reaching the first game. Generally, school contingents arrive two days before their first contest. Besides the teams, coaching staff, administrators, and other bench personnel like trainers and managers, the NCAA pays for a mascot, band director, and certain numbers of band members and cheerleaders to attend the tournament. For travel over a certain distance, air travel is arranged, generally by charter. Hotel accommodations and local ground transportation arrangements at the tournament site are generally set in advance and matched to the teams after the selections; e.g. X hotel will host the lower seeded team in game 4. Because the NCAA makes these arrangements for the makeup of each school's contingent (read that: the NCAA will pay for the travel of the band, mascot and cheer squad), the pageantry of each game is always enhanced by the performances of the bands, cheer squads and mascots.

— Liberty vs. Gardner-Webb - Myrtle Beach, SC
I really do not like talking about controversial subjects. But with Liberty University making a deep run in this year's Big South Tournament, it is hard to try and avoid controversy. And that is because Liberty University is a school all about controversy. Liberty University was founded as Lynchburg Baptist College in 1971 by famous televangelist Jerry Falwell. While Falwell was more well known for his televangelist efforts through the Moral Majority and Thomas Road Baptist Church, Falwell always took great pride during his life about LU, which became Division I less than 20 years after its founding and the NCAA Tournament shortly after that. Falwell was known for being an ambitious person in spreading his evangelical message, and was a big supporter of the Flames. His controversial nature and passion for Big South basketball was the reason why Kyle found him a good interview subject during his ESPN days. And now five years since his death, the school now led by his son Jerry Falwell Jr. was two wins away from making their first NCAA Tournament in nine years.

Overcoming the Burden of History

Ian McCormick
— Virginia Military Institute vs. Charleston Southern - Myrtle Beach, SC
Charleston Southern entered this game as the favorite, 12-4 in the Big South against an 8-8 squad from VMI. But as I mentioned in their last game, this is a new position for Charleston Southern. When you talk about places in Hoops Nation that have had a lot of struggling, CSU has to be near the top of the list. Kyle in all his travels never visited Charleston Southern's "Buc Dome", an 881 seat arena that has limited space for media and would not have been able to host this tournament even if we were going to the higher seeds. At just over $800,000, Charleston Southern spends less on men's basketball than anybody else in the Big South. And yet after the regular season they were now the favorites. They were the regular season champions after years of hanging back towards the bottom of the conference. And when you factor all of that in, CSU was the true underdog story regardless of their record. This was the story of the 2012-2013 Big South season.

World of Warcraft Trading Card Game Tomb of the Forgotten Booster Pack Product Details
Released on 19-Jun-2012
Console shooters had their derby match at the start of November, when Battlefield 3 challenged reigning champ Modern Warfare 3 for the hearts and minds of virtual soldiers across the world. On December 20th, a similar clash will take place, with stakes that are arguably even higher.
That's when the Lucas-approved, Bioware-developed online role-player Star Wars: The Old Republic launches, offering the first serious challenge to World of Warcraft's dominance. And given that World of Warcraft has a population more than twice the size of Norway, and turns around enough money each year to dwarf most real world nations, it's territory worth fighting over.
But where did massively multiplayer online role-playing games (or MMORPGs) come from?
To answer that question you need to jump back to Essex University in 1978. It was here that two students, Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle, first took the early Dungeons & Dragons-inspired adventure games and adapted them to allow multiple players at the same time. They called their creation MUD, or Multi-User Dungeon.
The game remained very much part of the academic and computer science subculture, until the mid 1980s, when commercial publishers made their first efforts at packaging the idea of playing online in a way normal game consumers at home could understand. One of the first pioneers, appropriately enough, was a Commodore 64 virtual world called Habitat, developed by LucasArts.
The internet was still a basic and clunky thing, however, so these were little more than tentative toes dipped into online waters. It wasn't until 1991 that games we'd now recognise as offering true graphical online multiplayer experiences really took off.
First off the blocks was Neverwinter Nights, an official Dungeons & Dragons game hosted by the rapidly expanding AOL internet service provider. It was crude by today's standards, with a basic 3D view in a small window and text inputs, but it was a genuine virtual world populated by other players. Other adventure game specialists, such as Sierra, quickly followed suit and released their own spins on the formula.
In 1995, internet speeds were given a boost and data traffic restrictions lifted in the US, allowing this embryonic genre to really evolve. Meridian 59 was technically the first MMO game to take advantage of the technological freedoms, but it was the 1997 game, Ultima Online, that popularised the genre. Not only did it offer rich, varied gameplay, it boasted a colourful top-down game world to explore. It was Ultima's creator, Richard Garriott, who claims the honour of coining the term MMORPG.
As player numbers rose, and with them the chance to make serious money from subscriptions, more recognisable names joined the fray. SONY's Everquest debuted in 1999, with full 3D graphics. Sega, meanwhile, brought MMO games to consoles, with the Dreamcast title Phantasy Star Online. Square's legendary Final Fantasy went online-only for its eleventh entry in 2003. Online role-playing was fast becoming one of the most popular game genres around, and just needed one final kick to boot it into the mainstream consciousness.
Cue World of Warcraft. Released in 2004, this spin-off from Blizzard's fantasy themed real-time strategy series brought a speed and immediacy that previous titles, still clinging to the paper-and-dice role-playing roots and point-and-click adventure elements, had lacked. World of Warcraft was fast and satisfying, character classes were well defined, and progression brought more and more impressive powers and weapons into play. It had the depth and immersion of a true RPG, but the instant gratification of an action game. Needless to say, the realm of Azeroth was quickly filled with addicted fans.
Since then, many have tried to topple Blizzard's billion-dollar behemoth from its MMORPG throne. Some manage to tempt a few subscribers away, but most eventually return, lured back by the vibrant community and regular world-changing updates.
World of Warcraft has never faced a rival like Star Wars though. There are millions of fans around the world, who have long dreamed of fighting, working or just living in that galaxy far, far away and The Old Republic allows them to do just that. Will that be enough to cause a mass emigration from the realms of Warcraft? Who knows - either way, it's going to be fun finding out.

It's hard to image there was ever a time when we couldn't assume our grimmest war-face, fire up our consoles and do battle with a global army of enemy combatants from the comfort of our armchairs. We're certainly come a long way from sitting hunched over our Commodores, battling as much for keyboard space with our siblings as we were on-screen! But where did it all start?
Things really started to evolve in the 90s though when LAN parties were the in-thing for the hardcore gaming hobbyist. If the prospect of the violently seductive Doom wasn't enough to keep you up into the early hours by itself, there was no better way to bring the competitive minds of a whole generation of gamers together than by syncing up a few PCs and spending hours, even days, doing battle in the flesh.
The blossoming Korean e-sports scene took the concept even further, and now commands a staggering national audience for televised championships. Blizzard's outstanding StarCraft series rules the roost in this domain, and not even the awesome sequel released in 2010 has put a dent in players' enthusiasm for the best-selling original. The competitive scene for StarCraft II is still buzzing in the West, and it's never too late to get stuck into a game that'll be around for years to come and still has two explosive expansions in the works.
Then there's World of Warcraft, the game that really did change everything. Released in 2004, it arrived just at the right time as the mass uptake of increasingly fast broadband connections became the norm, unleashing a greedy clamour for the world of Azeroth - one so extreme that it saw Blizzard pull the game from store shelves at one point, their servers unable to keep up with the snowballing demand. It now enjoys a seven-figure subscriber count, and with three award-winning expansions under it's belt, there's more content for you to get stuck into than you'll know what to do with!
While consoles such as the sadly-undersold Dreamcast teased gently around the potential for global gameplay, it was arguably Microsoft who broke new ground for console gaming with the launch of the Xbox LIVE service, putting a whole new world of gaming at player's feet - and long before PCs became a breeze to hook up for the living-room lounger!
So while PC gaming might have dominated the early days of competitive multiplayer, it was titles like Halo 2 that brought the idea of mass gaming to the forefront of game design. While the single-player components of the Halo games continue to blow us away, the passion for Halo 2 was so extreme that players left their Xbox 360s running for days at a time to prevent the eventual switch-off of multiplayer support for all original Xbox games in April 2010.
These days it's show-stopping blockbuster titles like Call of Duty that continue to change the way gaming is viewed and played online by the console crowd. For many, it's the only game they need to buy each year, and services like Call of Duty Elite are doing even more to add greater depth to the experience, allowing gamers to track, log and show off their finest moments on the battlefield.
No-one can guess what the next evolution in multiplayer might be, but we're already seeing some extraordinary innovation in the likes of Nintendo's StreetPass, allowing gamers-on-the-go to make new friends without ever saying hello, and the awesome potential of the augmented reality features in the upcoming PlayStation Vita. One thing's clear, multiplayer is here to stay and the future can only bring us even closer together.

Joe Elected for Second Term as Union Votes
Election fever swept campuses across the county as Cornwall College students voted to see their peers win various roles in the Students' Union (CCSU).
President Joe Vinson defended his role, the only paid position in the Union, and will now lead the student body through to August 2013. He beat St Austell A-level student Angharad Dymond with 68.5 per cent of the vote.
Joe, 18 from St Agnes and a former A-level student at the Camborne campus, said: "It's a real honour to be re-elected as CCSU President. Over the past year I've been working hard to improve the student experience here at Cornwall College, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to carrying on this work next year.
"From introducing a text-in service to re-launching the website, I've made sure that opinions have been heard at every level in the College. On top of that, I've ensured that higher education (HE) students get better funding, that certain campuses have more CCSU staff and I've campaigned strongly against the removal of EMA and the raising of tuition fees. In the coming months I'll create more officer positions, develop a CCSU iPhone app, fight to bring back EMA, make CCSU more relevant to HE students and I'll campaign to get payment by card in all campus canteens."
Joe has, this week, been elected onto the National Union of Students' LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Committee, following on from other smaller roles within the national union, where he will be tasked with representing all further education LGBT students, taking a lead on campaigning for equal marriage and to break down the barriers that face LGBT students across the country.
The election process began in March when students had two weeks to enter nominations for Executive Officer positions available on Union committees at each of Cornwall College's seven campuses in Camborne, Newquay, Saltash and St Austell, as well as Duchy College in Stoke Climsland and Rosewarne, and Falmouth Marine School, as well as the coveted role of Students' Union President. Candidates had to be seconded by five other students and submit a manifesto outlining their aims for the next year.
Nominees then had ten days to encourage their peers to vote for them before polling week when the candidates spent their time campaigning against each other to win their desired role. Over 1500 students turned out to cast their vote, many of them for the first time.
Ben Rowswell, Student Liaison Manager and the election's Returning Officer, said: "Across all campuses we aim to ensure participating in the SU election is a fun and positive experience for everyone involved as we believe students are more likely to engage with democracy outside of college as a result."
Non-paid roles up for the vote on each campus included chairperson, vice-chairperson, entertainment co-ordinator, diversity officer, sustainability officer, treasurer, secretary, and non-portfolio officer.
The role of chairperson at Camborne went to foundation degree student Rosie Sutton, 18, from Liskeard; at Newquay to foundation degree student Alex Dawson from Truro; at Saltash to Hairdressing student Harriet Hartley, 18 from Torpoint; at St Austell to A-level student Charlotte Knight, 17 from Par; at Stoke Climsland to Animal Care student Alex Knott, 19 from Tavistock; at Rosewarne to Animal Care student Leanne Wheston, 18 from Carn Brea; and at Falmouth Marine School to foundation degree student Jack O'Byrne, 19 from Derbyshire but living in Falmouth.
Dave Linnell, Principal of Cornwall College, said: "The College works closely with the Students' Union to ensure that the voice of the student body is heard and suggestions are acted on. The elections are a key part of the year as they give our students a chance to experience voting, something which many of them will soon be doing for the first time in the upcoming local elections in May. Congratulations to all those elected; I look forward to working with them over the coming year."

BATS at Whelans | In Photos
TweetA night of post-punk mayhem in Whelans on Saturday saw BATS return with a manic live show to launch their second album 'The Sleep Of Reason'. From all accounts it seems tp have been a raucous evenings entertainment.
A fitting way to send their new released into the world, the last on the legendary Richter Collective. We didn't have a reviewer down at the gig but Yan popped down to snap the lads in full sway.

Roadside Ramly burger may be quite cheap or affordable, but give me a Burger King anytime...
tried out bubba gump restaurant at d curve... first tried it in kuta, bali....
western food, specialize in seafood n steak....
similar to tgif, hard rock cafe, chili's but with d 'forest gump' concept...
portions r really huge tho so make sure u r hungry!
went for a fren's bday bash... held at n'gon vietnamese restaurant @ solaris.... food is not bad... we had rice wit d beef stew, braised peppery pork, vegetarian claypot, spicy lemongrass chicken, mixed platter appetizer, spring rolls, n vietnamese beef noodles, washed down wit iced vietnamese kopi.
d dishes r tasty n what they specialize in. d noodles r normal....
price is ok.... 16 of us n its roughly rm40 per head for a good variety...
plus it was a special arrangement, so they threw in d birthday cake foc for d birthday gal....
had my only Bubba Gump in San Francisco, nothing to shout abt, it is more like New Orleans Creole Cuisine..............don't think i will want to try the one in the Curve.Originally Posted by aRwEn
went to thai corner in taipan. nice and quite reasonable.
beef green curry
pandan chicken
mango kerabu
sambal belacan paku pakis
homemade towfoo
tom yang soup (prawn & sotong)
i was at American 4th of July Fair in Sembawang Singapore, the Americans knows how to throw a party.........they have BrewWerks beers, steak burgers, pork ribs, pizzas and so on. besides that in the evening, even have a fireworks display to celebrate 4th of July. had good fun that evening.
We were in Genting to attend a wedding and had a yummy lunch at the Mushroom Farm. Yup, this is the place to have delicious, value-for-money food when one is in Genting. Look out for "Taman Cendawan" on the signage and you will be led to this place where one can find supermarket, dog kennel, mushroom farm, the "tai chow" restaurant, vegetable farm.
The specialty here is its "Tong Po" meat (braised belly pork in dark soya sauce). Also must try is the fresh vegie e.g. Tian Qi (no. 7), lily buds and Monkey Head Mushroom & Yi Wat (fish paste) soup. For the 1st time we ordered the Butter Fei Chow Yu (literal translation "African Fish") - similar to Butter Prawn.
For an order of:
1. Butter Fei Chow Yu
2. Tong Po Braised Pork
3. French bean shoot stir-fry with garlic
4. Potato leaves stir fry with sambal belacan
5. Tian Qi vegie stir-fry with garlic
6. Monkey Head Mushroom soup
We only pay RM180!!! That was RM18/pax as there was 10 of us on our table!
That was so much cheaper than the RM13 I paid for a bowl of tasteless Prawn Mee that I had at First World's Food Court outlet...called ??? Mee. Sorry, can't remember the name of the outlet as the Prawn Mee was not worth remembering at all! And I felt a huge pinch of my pocket too!! And suffered heartache after eating it!!! It was really lousy and expensive.
I like the dry salted chillies! They taste real good with rice and curry!Originally Posted by gtl
yup, those are gems. the kick is strong while the flavour is intense.
hi, i was an ex-staff in genting..in my opinion, mushroom farm USED to be a value-for-money place. but not anymore. they charged like...fuh~! hmm..maybe u juz got the wrong place to have ur meal. 1st world's Kopitiam food court is certainly not the place for u to order that. but i can suggest u to have the stonegrill next time if u're there. little do tourists knows dat there is others cheap fod around rite? hehehOriginally Posted by RolyPoly

This weekend, my family dine out twice.
1) Went to Tien Kee Restaurant in SS18 (same row as Mamak Bistro/Tropicana) for Teochew and Hakka dishes. Tien Kee serves very good soup. We had:
- Sichuan preserved vegie with minced pork soup
- Salted vegie with fish & tofu soup
- Yam rice
- Hakka abacus
- Hakka pork trotters braised with dried chilli
The soup tasted delicious. Serving was small, especially the trotters.
And price wise is rather steep.
But if you want some clear, yummy soup and porridge or noodle, this is the place to go.
2) Our fave Korean restaurant in Amcorp Mall's 3rd Floor. Same row as McD.
This place serves the best kimchi chigae in town! We have tried many kimchi chigae in Desa Sri Hartamas & USJ Taipan restaurants. But non can beat this outlet's. We always request for a big bowl of this spicy, hot soup (without the set). At the same price (RM15.90), one can order for a set meal that comes with rice and other 3 side dishes, a soup and fruit. We usually order a bowl of vegetable kimchi chigae (mushrooms, vegie, kimchi, soft, yummy white tofu).
The bulgogi chicken set or spicy squid set were yum, yum!!! I have not change my order for a long while. It's alway my regular whenever I am there.
The price is value for money, food heavenly, staffs very proactive and friendly. I dropped my spoon and before I called the waiter for a spoon, he was already standing next to me with a fresh spoon and serviette!!! This is what I call exceeding customer's expectation. In order to enjoy your meal, go there early as the place tend to be crowded during meal hours and that may cause you to wait a little longer for food to be served. This will always be my fave Korean restaurant!
it was a japanese weekend for me....
had some japanese fast food at d bon odori festival in d panasonic sports stadium on sat.... cant say d food was anythin to shout about but it was interestin seein so many ppl (most of them not japanese tho!!) gathered there to watch n join in d bon odori cultural dance.... lol....
then a celebration meal at sushi tomo in ss2 on sun....
we went ala carte.... had edamame (green beans), agedashi tofu, california temaki (handrolls), softshell crab sushi, salmon teriyaki, unagi, cawan mushi, garlic fried rice, miso soup.... japanese green tea n japanese beer....
rather nice compared to a lotta other japanese restaurants that i've tried....
value-for-money.... n a lotta japanese dine there oso....
i would say their QC is good.... everythin is just right.... n d food is freshly prepared....
noticed they r a bit understaffed tho, so even tho d kitchen is fast, ie food doesn't take too long to prepare, but there r oni 2 waitresses so u may need to wait a while if u need anythin (like refill of green tea) when there r a lotta customers....
Yesterday went to Sunway Pyramid and had this Vietnamese Cuisine. Environment and service was rather quiet. Anyway, gave a shot to try this place. I went and ordered:
1. Combo platter that comes with 2 big prawns stuffed wif some lemon grass to grilled, chicken grilled and lamb grilled.
2. Fish cake (very nice)
3. Vietnamese chee cheong fun (can't remember what they called it)
Overall the dishes aren't too bad but when it arrived to our table the food wasn't really that hot as I expected it. It's just warmed and it only lasted about 5-10 mins and it's cold already.
Believe yourself, believe what you can do
Keep on going & stay happiee

While recounting a litany of "improbabilities" in Pistorius' account, Nair said defense attorneys had done enough to prove the "exceptional circumstances" required by South African law for the release of a suspect charged with premeditated murder.
He said the former chief investigator in the case, Hilton Botha, had made "several errors and concessions" in his testimony at the bail hearing, and said prosecutors had failed to prove that Pistorius was a flight risk or had a propensity toward violence.
Botha was replaced after prosecutors reinstated attempted murder charges against him in a 2011 incident unrelated to Pistorius.
Key arguments
During the four-day bail hearing, prosecutors argued that Pistorius had a history of violence and that his account didn't add up.
Prosecutors relied heavily on Botha's testimony, including statements from witnesses, who said they heard Pistorius and Steenkamp arguing before the shooting, as well as ballistic evidence that Botha said proved Pistorius was lying about how he had shot into the door.
But Botha seemed to buckle under questioning from defense attorney Barry Roux, who got the detective to acknowledge that the bullet evidence wasn't as conclusive as he had initially said and that at least one witness he had spoken to could not say for certain that the sounds he had heard came from Pistorius' house.
Nair also said that Botha had failed to exhaustively check cell phone records and chided the investigator for failing to check with Interpol before testifying that Pistorius owned a home in Italy -- raising his profile as a potential flight risk.
The source of the information about the house apparently was a magazine article, the judge noted.
Roux also said that defense investigators had found a bullet missed by police and that police may have contaminated the crime scene by failing to wear protective shoe covers. Police had run out of the covers, Botha testified.

My son has this & loves it. He loves to chew on the legs or just hold onto it while he's playing. I also have it in pink for my daughter. Great little toys!

I received this toy as a gift for my daughter. The first time I used it for tummy time she absolutely loved it and oriented her head towards it. It's well made and I love the colors.
