When Eric told me about a mamak shop which is famous for its Nasi Goreng Mamak (Mamak Fried Rice) at Seri Kembangan, I was more than eager to check it out. The best Nasi Goreng Mamak that I fondly remember was back in my college days. Back then, it was the staple food for me as I can't afford to eat anywhere else with my measly pocket allowance. Still, it was really delicious but the shop has since been closed down.
So when I was driving to Taman Sungai Besi Indah to try the fried rice there, I was hoping it would taste at least as good as how I remembered my favourite Nasi Goreng Mamak to be. Restoran PKS Maju is located not far away from the Esso Station near to Mines Shopping Centre along Lebuhraya Sungai Besi.
Eric recommended the Nasi Goreng Mamak with fried chicken (RM 5) which comes with huge portion of rice and chunks of chicken meat. Thumbs up for that. The rice were fried with ample amount of spices yet it was not too overpowering with the taste of curry powder. Each grain of rice can be tasted inside the mouth with that goodness of "hmmmmm" satisfaction.
Comparatively speaking, the Nasi Goreng at PKS Maju does have a similar taste with the one I had back in my college days. Thumbs up!
As for the chicken (I save the best for last), it was moist and nicely marinated with spices. From what I understand, the chunks of fried chicken are fried together again with the rice thus producing an aromatic flavour of its original spices mixed with the ingredients of the fried rice.
The result? A lips smacking plate of fried rice!
I was telling Eric that eat spoonful of rice is just so heavenly good. And for RM 5, it is really value for money.
While there may be other Mamak restaurants out there which serves great fried rice, I will settle for Restoran PKS Maju to satisfy my hunger anytime!

- Written by webmin
A little while back, reader Jean-Claude Marcoux came across a photo of an unusual little four-wheeled, rear-engined car being called a Messerschmitt in an article in the November 1958 issue of Popular Science. The article hardly elaborated, noting that it sat four, was designed in Germany, and would be sold exclusively in the United States for around $1,000. The article went out of its way to trumpet the hinged rear section of the body that allowed engine access, but didn't mention a model name or any other specifics.
To the best of our knowledge, Messerschmitt – most well-known in the automotive world as the builder of the KR175/KR200 Kabinenroller, a cockpit-shaped three-wheeled microcar – never built anything but the Kabinenroller when it came to cars. In fact, some accounts posit that Willy Messerschmitt cared little for automotive production, seeing it as a mere post-war stopgap until he could build planes again, leaving the tasks of automotive production to Fritz Fend, the designer of the Kabinenroller.
So our first thought drifted to Fend; after all, when Fend split with Messerschmitt in about 1956, he started his own auto company, FMR, and in 1958 began building a four-wheeled, two-cylinder version of the Kabinenroller called the Tg500. But nothing we saw referenced the sedan-like four-wheeler, and besides, PopSci called it a Messerschmitt.
Stumped, we forwarded the photo on to Charles Gould, who was eventually able to get an answer out of microcar expert Peter Svilians. Svilians noted that this four-wheeled Messerschmitt was called the K-106 and was actually predated by another, larger Messerschmitt called the P-511. The latter, which Willy Messerschmitt himself apparently championed, was a monocoque design bodied by Spohn and initially powered by an air-cooled four-stroke 45hp 1-liter radial five-cylinder engine, backed by a hydrostatic vane-type transmission/differential combination of Willy's own design. He began work on the P-511 in 1950, temporarily substituted a Porsche engine in 1952-1953, then got the radial engine to work in the car by July 1954. Where the Kabinenrollers had a fuel economy of 3 liters per 100 km, the P-511 could do no better than 8 liters per 100 km, though it was capable of 75 MPH. By the time the P-511 was finally running with its radial engine, the funding for the project had dried up, Svilians said, leaving only the prototype.
The K-106, on which work began in 1955, was Messerschmitt's second attempt to enter the small car market, to compete with Goggomobil and Lloyd. It used the P-511's monocoque design, though with smaller dimensions and a 200cc Sachs engine, weighing in at 815 pounds empty. Fuel economy rated at 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. A larger 400cc engine was considered, but left on the drafting table when the 200cc engine proved powerful enough for the car.
According to Svilians, Messerschmitt did indeed plan to sell it in America and envisioned several different versions: the K-107 with a 400cc engine and front-hinged doors; the K-108 with an 800cc engine and sportier styling; the K-109, a convertible with a 400cc engine; the K-110, a sports coupe with a 600cc engine; and the K-111, a curved-window version of the K-110.
But as aircraft production started again in 1956, Messerschmitt wanted to sell the developmental files to interests in the United States. Svilians said that Fend was interested in buying the project, but only if the Americans could fund the project, which, in the end, they couldn't.
The only question mark remaining to the story, then: What was PopSci was doing trumpeting the car two years later? Did they just finally get to it in their pile of press releases? Or was Fend still trying to entice investors at that time? And what happened to both of these prototypes?
Thanks to Charles Gould and Peter Svilians for the legwork and to Harry Connors for the additional images.

Olivero's recreation of a Prohibition-era saloon, resulting in an "immersive theatrical experience involving more than 35 actors, singers, and musicians."
Amaluna Big Top at AT&T Park, Third Street at Terry A. Francois Blvd, SF; www.cirquedusoliel.com. $50-175. Wed/8-Sat/11, 8pm (also Thu/9-Sat/11, 4:30pm); Sun/12, 1, 4:30. Cirque de Soleil is back in town, this time bringing its Tempest-inspired Amaluna to the big top set up outside AT&T Park. Touted for being a celebration of "women [sic] power," it seems initially odd that the design elements are so focused on the male peacock feather — all greens and blues and graceful, with curving "fronds" rising up from the stage. Jungle sounds chirp in the background as a bevy of Amazonian women in bejeweled headdresses and a mischievous lizard-man circulate the room until the show starts with the lovely abstraction of a floating red cloud of translucent fabric dancing in a single beam of light. The flimsy plotline is forgettable, a coming-of-age and courtship tale between the island's young princess, Miranda (Iuliia Mykhailova) and a shipwrecked young Romeo (Evgeny Kurkin), though the parallel courtship between the two comic figures of Jeeves (Nathalie Claude) and Deeda (Shereen Hickman) provides a bit of levity and a novel use for footballs. The most realized character is probably Cali (Victor Kee), the half-lizard, whose prehensile tail and neon body paint give him an otherworldly allure, but it's the aerialist goddesses and fierce embodiments of the storm that are most memorable from an acrobatic point-of-view, and Lara Jacobs' unique balancing act from a meditative one. (Gluckstern)
Avenue Q New Conservatory Theatre Center, 25 Van Ness, SF; www.nctcsf.org. $25-45. Wed/8-Sat/11, 8pm; Sun/12, 2pm. New Conservatory Theatre Center performs the Tony-winning comedy.
The Book of Mormon Orpheum Theatre, 1192 Market, SF; www.shnsf.com. $60-120. Wed-Sat, 8pm (also Sat, 2pm); Sun, 1 and 6:30pm. Through Jan 19. When approaching the oeuvre of South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, it's best to check your political correctness at the door. That's certainly no less true of their 2011 Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, co-penned with Robert Lopez (of Avenue Q fame), despite the clean-scrubbed appearance of their fumbling albeit well-intentioned missionary protagonists. Sent to Uganda for two years, top mission pupil Elder Price (Nic Rouleau) and his clumsy but affable partner Elder Cunningham (A.J. Holmes) are faced with a village oppressed by a scenery-chewing warlord, a demoralized coterie of fellow missionaries who have yet to have a successful conversion, and their own fraught, odd-couple dynamic. Rouleau's Price is an appropriate blend of smarm, charm, and secret self-doubt while Holmes excels in his portrayal of a perennial-loser-turned-prophet (his power ballad-esque solo in "Man Up" is one of the show's best). Of their hosts, the wry Mafala (James Vincent Meredith) and his sweet but strong-willed daughter Nabulungi (Syesha Mercado) get the most stage time, but it's the crude and caustic General (David Aron Damane) who grabs the most attention. The gleefully profane "Hasa Diga Eebowai," a Forbidden Zone-style "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream", and the deliriously blasphemous "Joseph Smith, American Moses," round out the entertaining, and strangely informative, score. Though it's (very) unlikely to convert you to the Church of Latter-Day Saints, there's a good chance you'll want to convert to the church of Parker and Stone, if you haven't already. (Gluckstern)
Foodies! The Musical Shelton Theater, 533 Sutter, SF; www.foodiesthemusical.com. $32-34. Fri-Sat, 8pm. Open-ended. AWAT Productions presents Morris Bobrow's musical comedy revue all about food.
The Oy of Sex Marsh San Francisco, 1062 Valencia, SF; www.themarsh.org. $20-100. Thu-Fri, 8pm; Sat, 8:30pm. Through Jan 18. Comedian Alicia Dattner performs her solo show, based on her stories from her own life and love addiction.
Road Show Eureka Theatre, 215 Jackson, SF; www.therhino.org. $15-30. Wed-Sat, 8pm; Sun, 3pm. Through Jan 19. Theatre Rhinoceros presents the Bay Area premiere of the Stephen Sondheim musical.
Storefront Church San Francisco Playhouse, 450 Post St, Second Flr, SF; www.sfplayhouse.org. $30-100. Wed/8-Thu/9, 7pm; Fri/10-Sat/11, 8pm (also Sat/11, 3pm). Weighty themes come leavened by sharp comedy and engaging characters in this 2012 play from New York's John Patrick Shanley (Doubt), now enjoying a strong and lively Bay Area premiere at SF Playhouse in director Joy Carlin's well cast production. Ethan, a gregarious retired accountant and professed secular Jew (a hilarious and endearing Ray Reinhardt) tries to get some relief for his Puerto Rican wife, Jessie (a bubbly Gloria Weinstock), who is perilously behind on her loan payments. But it's like getting the proverbial blood from a stone during his meeting with her humorless and immobile — indeed, partly paralyzed — loan officer (a quietly shattered Rod Gnapp). Ethan appeals to morality; loan officer Reed sticks to the rules of the system. Enter Donaldo (an admirably sure yet understated Gabriel Marin), the Bronx's upstanding borough president and the son of Jessie's old friend. Donaldo has much bigger business with the bank underway (a proposed mall deal that will bring jobs, if at the expense of local character) and at first begs off — until he learns his mother has co-signed the loan. Soon, Donaldo is visiting the source of Jessie's money problems: a somber Pentecostal preacher and Katrina-refugee named Chester (a gently solemn Carl Lumbly) who has installed a traffic-less church in the storefront below her apartment but remains himself paralyzed by depression and uncertainty. Donaldo, himself a preacher's son, and Chester soon engage in a fiery and captivating debate that turns on the contradictions between moral conviction and worldly compromise. From there on, a fractured congregation of sorts begins to form around the preacher and Donaldo, including the unctuous yet aloof CEO of the bank (played with bounding confidence by a fine Derek Fischer). It all leads to a rousingly funny and tender scene that makes good on the season's usual lip service to fraternal feeling and communal values. (Avila)
The Tempest Thick House, 1695 18th St, SF; www.doitliveproductions.com. $15. Thu and Sun, 7pm; Fri-Sat, 8pm. Through Jan 18. Do It Live! Productions performs the Shakespeare classic.
Can You Dig It? Back Down East 14th — the 60s and Beyond Marsh Berkeley, 2120 Allston, Berk; www.themarsh.org. $20-35. Sat, 8:30pm; Sun, 7pm. Through Feb 2. Don Reed's new show offers more stories from his colorful upbringing in East Oakland in the 1960s and '70s. More hilarious and heartfelt depictions of his exceptional parents, independent siblings, and his mostly African American but ethnically mixed working-class community — punctuated with period pop, Motown, and funk classics, to which Reed shimmies and spins with effortless grace. And of course there's more too of the expert physical comedy and charm that made long-running hits of Reed's last two solo shows, East 14th and The Kipling Hotel (both launched, like this newest, at the Marsh). Can You Dig It? reaches, for the most part, into the "early" early years, Reed's grammar-school days, before the events depicted in East 14th or Kipling Hotel came to pass. But in nearly two hours of material, not all of it of equal value or impact, there's inevitably some overlap and indeed some recycling. Note: review from an earlier run of the show. (Avila)
Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness Ashby Stage, 1901 Ashby, Berk; www.shotgunplayers.org. $20-35. Wed/8-Thu/9, 7pm; Fri/10-Sat/11, 8pm. Shotgun Players performs Anthony Neilson's comic romp set in "a sensual Edwardian world of top hats, fantastical puppets, and flash powder."
Sherlock Holmes: The Broken Mirror Berkeley City Club, 2315 Durant, Berk; www.brownpapertickets.com. $20-28. Thu-Sat, 8pm; Sun, 3pm. Through Jan 26. Jeff Garrett portrays all the characters (Sherlock, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Moriarty…) in this adaptation of William Gillette's Holmes play.
Tristan & Yseult Berkeley Rep's Roda Theatre, 2025 Addison, Berk; www.berkeleyrep.org. $17.50-81. Tue and Thu-Sat, 8pm (also Thu and Sat, 2pm; no matinee Jan 18); Wed and Sun, 7pm (also Sun, 2pm). Extended through Jan 18. Kneehigh presents an innovative take on the ancient love-triangle tale. *

Changes to Growth Plan will help address unintended consequences
Dave Wilkes is President and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD), the voice of the home building, land development and professional renovation industry in the GTA. For the latest industry news and new home data, follow BILD on Twitter, @bildgta, or visit http://www.bildgta.ca.
Much has been written about the proposed changes to the Growth Plan, the policy that manages growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Many commentators have warned that the changes will bring more sprawl. By using that loaded word, they obscure the real issue we should be discussing: How do we build an adequate supply of housing for people in our region in a sustainable way?
Right now, we are not building nearly enough to accommodate the 115,000 people arriving in the GTA every year, and our worsening housing affordability attests to that. With the proposed changes to the Growth Plan, the provincial government is taking action to help increase housing supply while continuing to protect the environment.
As it stands, the current Growth Plan is contributing to exactly the type of problem it was designed to prevent. It calls for municipalities to meet high density targets, particularly in areas near transit, but these established neighbourhoods have been difficult to densify because of community resistance and outdated municipal by-laws. In fact, 70 per cent of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area still consists of low-density communities, according to a study by Malone Given Parsons, despite having the infrastructure and transportation systems in place to support more housing.
Instead, densification is being pushed to outlying areas of municipalities like Brampton, Vaughan and Pickering, on land designated for future development. Often, these areas are not served by transit, so residents have to drive, contributing to the traffic congestion and emissions that the Growth Plan was meant to alleviate.
If the proposed changes are implemented, municipalities will be allowed to build increased density within an 800-metre radius of major transit stations, instead of the current 500-metre radius. That will mean more housing near transit. Density targets will vary depending on a municipality's location and context, which should reduce the pressure to build density in areas that are not serviced by transit and other infrastructure.
We can build an adequate supply of housing in our region in a sustainable way if all levels of government do their part. Municipalities have work to do in making sure their policies work with and not against our common goal of building compact, transit-oriented communities. They need to review outdated by-laws that make it challenging to build even the gentlest forms of density such as townhouses.
When you read another article about the changes to the Growth Plan, ask yourself whether the commentator is addressing the real issue of how we can build enough housing in a sustainable manner. It's the only way to build a GTA that's a great place to live, work and play.

Fashion; Interactive Clothing by Ying Gao
Ying Gao Shares The Playtime Fashion; Interactive Clothing
Ying Gao, the project leader of the displayed work Fashion; interactive clothing by Ying Gao explicates, Playtime exists at the intersection of fashion design and interactive technologies. It references two key scenes of Tati's film. Playtime explores the concept of transformation. In the context of a fashion show with sounds and lighting, the possibility for the viewer to photograph or shoot the dresses on video is rendered difficult: they will appear blurry in the recorded image. The first dress will appear blurry and the second dress will react to the flash of the camera, itself becoming a light source when a photo is taken..

It doesn't look particularly wintery, but these photos were taken on 19th December 1963.
The square is located between Aboyne Avenue running along the top, and Huntly Road at the bottom.
We just called this place Craigie Shops rather than Huntly Square, this being my neck of the woods back then, and when schoolboy age went there almost every day as they were also on our school route.
Amongst the shops were - Jack Chalmers, butcher - Moore, grocer - Primo, chip shop - Black, baker - Steele, household goods - Stan Gordon, newsagent - Wallace's, baker - Gowans, draper, some of which show up on the pictures above. Needless to say, during the course of time, some shops disappeared and new ones opened, so later there was a Tudor Crisps warehouse - V.G. Store - Farmfoods shop - Dempsey's, hairdresser - a Police Station - Nan's, chip shop - Church of Nazarene, and no doubt a few others that have slipped past my memory.
It wasn't just a place we shopped, we also hung out there and turned it into a play area - football, hide & seek, pitchie, the usual kind of stuff. We also indulged in a game called "Follow The Leader" which was almost like a pre-cursor to present day Parkour. A snake of us would line up and we'd all have to copy the exact movements of the leader in front. Wherever the leader went or whatever they did, everyone else behind had to do the same, so there was a lot of running around, jumping over objects, balancing on structure, that kind of stuff - a bit daring at times, well for primary age kids!
Oh yeah, and it was also a great place to go stot your Superball..!!

AstaZeneca in patent warning as net profit falls
(AP)—Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca PLC warned over expiring patents on its medicines as the company announced a 37 percent fall in full-year net profit on Thursday.
AstraZeneca said that its net profit fell to $6.3 billion in the year ended Dec. 31, compared with nearly $10 billion in 2011. The company blamed the loss of exclusivity on several big-name drugs for a drop in revenue to $28 billion from $33.6 billion a year earlier, and warned it expects the trend to continue hitting sales in 2013.
Chief executive Pascal Soriot said Thursday the company's 2012 performance "reflects a period of significant patent expiry and tough market conditions."
He said AstraZeneca's new leadership team would focus on the company's brands and developmental pipeline.
Patents are crucial assets for pharmaceutical companies, which use them to insulate their expensive, brand-name drugs from competition from cheap, generic versions. Expiring patents on several of AstraZeneca's top drugs translates to weaker revenue as the company cuts prices or surrenders market share.
AtraZeneca reported that U.S. revenue fell 21 percent, largely due to competition from generic versions of its anti-depression medication, Seroquel IR, whose patent expired last year.
The company said that nearly two thirds of its 19 percent loss in revenue in Western Europe was the result of generic competition for Seroquel IR, as well as stomach acid drug Nexium, hypertension drug Atacand, and skin medication Merrem.
In Canada, generic competition to cholesterol-control drug Crestor dragged revenue down 31 percent.
The company said it expects challenging market conditions to persist in 2013, with the first quarter of the year expected to be "particularly challenging" since Seroquel and Crestor—in Canada—haven't yet reached a full year since generics entered the market.
At Hargreaves Landsdowne, equity analyst Keith Bowman warned that, unlike other companies in the medical field, AstraZeneca "does not enjoy the cushion of alternative revenue streams such as consumer health care" and noted a "general lack of optimism" surrounding its developmental pipeline.
But Panmure analyst Savvas Neophytou said the results were "not as bad as they could have been," noting that fourth-quarter results were more resilient than expected.
AstraZeneca's fourth-quarter net profit edged higher to 1.52 billion pounds from 1.49 billion pounds in the same period a year earlier, while revenue slipped to 7.3 billion pounds from 8.7 billion pounds.
Stocks in AstraZeneca fell 4.8 percent to 30 pounds a share in early morning trading on the London Stock Exchange.

It appears that the long-awaited Rock Island Bridge project will be getting underway as money is rolling in in the form of a couple of million federal dollars that will help cover the Clinton Foundation's cost estimate shortfall. In addition, the City of North Little Rock plans to ante up another $750,000.00 to be used toward construction and the acquisition of two parcels of land near the foot of the north landing. The land acquisition will allow enhancement of the visual and practical approach to the bridge and allow the city a greater measure of control of development in the area.
On the other end of town, construction continues as footings are being dug and concrete piers poured for the Two Rivers Bridge.
Another important development that appears to be nearing fruition is North Little Rock's effort to acquire an unused railroad right-of-way that runs from the Levy area to the east side of Camp Robinson. This stretch of track was maintained for many years to serve the Camp Robinson depot, but a few years back the military department decided that they had no future use for the spur. The City has been working to make a deal for the property for conversion into a multiuse trail, which creates the possibility of a new northern corridor for bike commuters and recreationalists. In what will eventually be part of that route, work is underway on a bit of trail and some sidewalks at the intersection of Pike Ave. and 33rd Street, already making that stretch of Pike much safer for cyclists. The RR tracks cross Pike at an angle and there is no shoulder at all, making for a sketchy approach to the tracks if you are boxed in by traffic.

The Weekly Outfit: Halloween in New York City – Dress Like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho
Since his introduction in 1991, Patrick Bateman has been an inspiration for psychotic investment bankers the world over. The young banker lives an upscale if not empty lifestyle during the day and moonlights as a murderer by night. Besides being a murderous psychopath, Bateman acts as a walking encyclopedia of chic fashion designers as he runs through expensive brands in his head with every person he encounters. Take a look below for the complete Bateman outfit.
Oliver Peoples – Gregory Peck Sunglasses
""Is that… Ivana Trump?" she asks, peering over my shoulder. I whirl around. "Where? Where's Ivana?" "In the booth near the front, second in from" – Evelyn pauses -"Brooke Astor. See?" I squint, put on my Oliver Peoples nonprescription glasses and realize that Evelyn, her vision clouded by the cassis-riddled Cristal, not only has mistaken Norris Powell for Ivana Trump but has mistaken Steve Rubell for Brooke Astor, and I can't help it, I almost explode."
Get the shades at Colette.
Brooks Brothers – Button-Down Collar Cotton Oxford Shirt
"I'm wearing a two-button wool suit with pleated trousers by Luciano Soprani, a cotton shirt by Brooks Brothers and a silk tie by Armani. McDermott's got on this wool suit by Lubiam with a linen pocket square by Ashear Bros., a Ralph Lauren cotton shirt and a silk tie by Christian Dior and he's about to toss a coin to see which one of us is going downstairs to fetch the Bolivian Marching Powder since neither one of us wants to sit here in the booth with the girls because though we probably want to fuck them, we don't want to, in fact can't, we've found out, talk to them, not even condescendingly – they simply have nothing to say and, I mean, I know we shouldn't be surprised by this but still it's somewhat disorienting."
Get the shirt at Mr. Porter.
Valentino – Paisley Classic Tie
"The tie is a dotted silk design by Valentino Couture. The shoes are crocodile loafers by A. Testoni. While I'm dressing the TV is kept on to The Patty Winters Show. Today's
guests are women with multiple personalities. A nondescript overweight older woman is on the screen and Patty's voice is heard asking, "Well, is it schizophrenia or what's the deal? Tell us.""
The tie is available at Bloomingdales.
ZZegna – Wool Silk Suit
"I'm wearing a six-button double-breasted wool suit by Ermenegildo Zegna, a striped cotton shirt by Luciano Barbera, a silk tie by Armani, suede wing-tips by Ralph Lauren, socks by E. G. Smith. Men Who've Been Raped by Women was the topic on The Patty Winters Show this morning."
Get it at the Zegna online store.
Rolex – Stainless Steel Black Dial Black Bezel Sea Dweller 90s
""Or an AR-15. You'd like it, Evelyn: it's the most expensive of guns, but worth every penny." I wink at her. But she's still talking; she doesn't hear a word; nothing registers. She does not fully grasp a word I'm saying. My essence is eluding her. She stops her onslaught and breathes in and looks at me in a way that can only be described as dewy-eyed. Touching my hand, my Rolex, she breathes in once more, this time expectantly, and says, "We should do it.""
Get it at Time & Gems.
Giorgio Armani – Felt Trenchcoat
"I shiver and hand her my black wool Giorgio Armani overcoat and she takes it from me, carefully airkissing my right cheek, then she performs the same exact movements on Price while taking his Armani overcoat. The new Talking Heads on CD plays softly in the living room."
Buy it at Bergdorf Goodman.
American Express Platinum Card
"I slam the door of the stall and start shoveling the coke from the envelope into my nose with my platinum AmEx. In between my gasps I hear Evelyn leave, sobbing to the girl, "He made me walk out of my own Christmas party, can you believe it? My Christmas party?""
A. Testoni – Alligator Penny Loafer
"I'm able to compose myself by simply staring at my feet, actually at the A. Testoni loafers, kicking pigeons aside, and without even noticing, I enter a shabby delicatessen on Second Avenue and I'm still confused, mixed up, sweaty, and I walk over to a short, fat Jewish woman, old and hideously dressed. "Listen," I say. "I have a reservation. Bateman. Where's the maître d? I know Jackie Mason,""
Get them at Pelle Line.
AK-47 Automatic Rifle
" "I'd want to bring a Harrison AK-47 assault rifle to the ceremony; " I say, bored, in a rush, "with a thirty-round magazine so after thoroughly blowing your fat mother's head off with it I could use it on that fag brother of yours. And though personally I don't like to use anything the Soviets designed, I don't know, the Harrison somehow reminds me of…" Stopping, confused, inspecting yesterday's manicure, I look back at Evelyn. "Stoli?""
Available at your local Russian arms dealer.

Asia-Pacific's Emergence as an Automotive Manufacturing Hub Enhances the Scope of the WWWT Market, Finds Frost & Sullivan
07 Mar, 2013, 03:06 GMT
- Environmental laws compel manufacturers to deploy water treatment solutions in their plants
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The relocation of automotive manufacturing from North America and Europe to Asia-Pacific, especially to emerging countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia, is expected to boost the prospects of the water and wastewater treatment (WWWT) market. Environmental regulations, along with manufacturers' desire to cut costs and use water more efficiently, have expanded the market for WWWT solutions.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.environmental.frost.com), Water and Wastewater Treatment Solutions Market in Automotive Industry in Asia-Pacific, finds that market earned revenues of US$116.8 million in 2011 and estimates this to reach US$156.2 million by 2016. Water treatment solutions market for the automotive industry are categorized as reverse osmosis (RO), ultra filtration (UF)/micro filtration (MF), ion exchange (IE), and electro-deionization (EDI). Wastewater treatment solutions are divided into primary, secondary and tertiary treatments.
"While automotive may not be the most water-intensive industry, automakers are keen to lower their water use per unit of vehicle produced," said Frost & Sullivan Environmental Senior Consultant David Lee. "Although the quality of water used may not be a critical factor, unlike in the pharmaceutical or power industries, the automotive industry has collectively started adopting more efficient water treatment solutions."
Membrane technology will continue to be the solution of choice for treating makeup water and cooling water, and be used as a key component in the secondary treatment of the wastewater treatment process. Membrane solutions such as RO and MF/UF are preferred for their efficiency and affordability, while the demand for IE is expected to decline in the near future, as the process involves the discharge of huge amounts of harmful by-products and waste.
Thailand and Indonesia are the largest revenue generators for WWWT solutions and will continue to be so till 2016 due to the on-going reforms in the automotive industry and industrialization plans in these countries. Japan and South Korea will also continue to be key markets owing to the scale of their automotive manufacturing industry.
However, while the automotive industry is thriving in the Asia-Pacific, WWWT is not a matter of priority for the manufacturers. The high initial investments deter several automotive manufacturers. Barring Japan and South Korea, vehicle manufacturers in Southeast Asia are slow adopters of technology and have low awareness about water sustainability.
"To tap the cost-conscious Asia-Pacific automotive end-user market, WWWT solution providers must offer competitively priced products," noted Lee. "They should also ensure a high level of customization and design, and establish a strong local presence to remain competitive."

Knitting Club Update
Wow, I cannot believe that we are at the end of May and I haven't yet given an update on knitting club. If the picture above is any indication, I'd say we did a pretty good job!
If you remember, we started knitting club at school towards the end of March. We met every Monday and Wednesday and the kids picked up knitting the garter stitch so fast! Our knitting project was pretty ambitious considering a half hour two days a week isn't really that much time. Overall, this blanket has 81 squares - mostly done in garter stitch and a couple of heart squares for detail.
I got really excited about the finished product as well and was so happy when we finally finished stitching up all those squares (so many squares....).
But the job wasn't done until I crocheted a border. As we all knit with slightly different tension, I had to crochet a single chain around the whole blanket first. I tried to keep an even count on all sides.
Then it was a half double crochet around the whole blanket to finish it off.
The blanket ended up being bigger than 36" x 36" due to stretch and the border. Next time, I think we'll try 8 squares x 8 squares. Other lessons we learned: 1) Divide the yarn amongst the kids vs giving them a whole skein 2) Work on one blanket at a time 3) Use neutral colours. 4) Consider an all-white blanket with a coloured trim.
I really enjoyed teaching the kids and learning from them. The kids were amazing to watch and are asking for a club again next year :o)
I designed a label because it makes the project so much more professional looking. It also lets the new parents know what's in the bag, the care instructions, and who made it. Once we have washed all of the knitted items, they will be packaged in clear ziploc bags and the labels will be placed outside the bag to keep the items clean.
Here's a last look before we package it up and deliver it to the hospital(s). This picture makes the blanket look a little wonky on the sides but it reality, it isn't! It's hard taking a photo of such a big item.
I am so glad we finished the blanket. I love the portability of knitting as I can do it anywhere! But I am a sewist at heart and it's time to go back to the machine before school lets out.

Sealing lip design
The form and design of a sealing lip is based on knowledge gained through research and development activities as well as wide practical experience obtained by SKF in close cooperation with users. The distance between the lip and the seal back face, the strength of the flex section, the angle of the lip (fig 1) and the tension in the spring are all balanced so that the pressure applied by the garter spring provides a satisfactory sealing performance between the sealing lip and counterface.
The sealing lips of SKF radial shaft seals are manufactured from several materials and two different main designs. For detailed information, refer to the section Sealing lip materials. There are two main sealing lip designs that differ in the execution of the sealing lip edge. The "conventional" sealing lip (fig 2) has a straight edge, whereas the SKF WAVE lips (fig 3) are moulded with a hydrodynamic feature that results in the lip taking a sinusoidal path on its counterface surface.
SKF WAVE seals represent one of the most important developments in radial shaft seals. The sealing lip is moulded to a special form, producing a relative movement on the counterface, imparting hydrodynamic properties. SKF WAVE seals are suitable for rotation in both directions. They pump the lubricant back into the bearing arrangement and expel contaminants. The sinusoidal form of the sealing lip considerably extends the path (fig 4) on the counterface surface and at the same time reduces the specific surface pressure at the sealing lip/counterface contact.
As a consequence, SKF WAVE seals produce up to 20% less friction (diagram 1) resulting in up to 30% lower temperatures (diagram 2) than conventional lip designs. Reduced friction and the sinusoidal path of the sealing lips help prevent the formation of deep tracks in the counterface, resulting in significantly extended service life. SKF WAVE seals are recommended where demands for operational reliability and long service life for machines and equipment are high.
SKF seals with conventional spring-loaded sealing lips meet general demands because they are able to provide efficient sealing even under unfavourable operating conditions. To improve sealing performance, some SKF radial shaft seals are designed with hydrodynamic features on the sealing lip. These have either a right-hand twist for shafts that rotate clockwise, or a left-hand twist for shafts that rotate counter-clockwise as seen from the air side. The degree to which the hydrodynamic feature improves the sealing ability depends on the form of the spiral flutes, the circumferential speed, the pressure conditions and the media being sealed. For additional information, refer to the section Oil retention.

Pony figurines and foam fingers
The majority of SmartPakers were riders way before they ever set foot in our offices. Ask us how long we've been riding and the average answer is somewhere between "since I could walk" and "forever." But some members of our team are so exceptionally awesome that we hired them even though they don't inhale deeply when greeted with notes of hay, leather and, let's be honest, manure, wafting through the air.
But even our non-riders have horses on the brain. It's not long before "glucosamine" rolls right off their tongues and they stop referring to a grazing muzzle as "that horsey Hannibal Lecter mask." But when they're brand spanking new, there's a lot of fun to be had…
Case in point: we recently hired a super-fantastic videographer named Nels. Nels is not a rider. In fact he's never even been on a horse. But he's very talented, an amazing teammate and really eager to learn. And learn he shall.
Yesterday was lesson #14 in Nels' first week at SmartPak – how to put together a bridle. Some of our Marketing team members were getting some of our Plymouth bridles ready to go out as prizes for local horse shows, and Nels offered to help with the assembly. The following is a collection of verbatim quotes I overheard during this 20-minute adventure.
The cast of characters:
Nels – Videographer, Non-rider
Emily – Marketing Coordinator, Dressage rider
Sarah – that's me!, Brand Manager, H/J rider
Bjorn – Manager of New Media, Non-rider, but seasoned SmartPaker (he knows how to properly use both a curry comb and a hoof pick)
Nels: [immediately upon opening the bag and inspecting the bridle parts] "I think mine is defective."
Nels: [holding the reins] "This looks like a belt."
Emily: [laughing] "Yeah. Sure. It goes around the horse's waist. Holds the saddle on."
Nels: "Great! So that part's done." [sets reins aside]
Nels: "You'd have better luck asking me to build you a car. From scratch."
Nels: "I must have extra parts…. I'm supposed to have extra parts, right?"
Nels: [upon learning about the bit] "That goes in its mouth?! ON PURPOSE?!"
Nels: [flexing a snaffle bit back and forth] "What's the difference between that and that?!"
Emily: "Well, the curve of the bit follows the natural curve of the horse's mouth."
Nels: "OK… I don't know that I'd call that natural, but OK."
Nels: [holding headstall] "Can I put this on my daughter?"
Emily: "You're doing great!"
Nels: "…the horse might disagree."
Nels: [closing the hook studs] excessive grunting
Nels: "I don't know that I'd let anybody actually use this one. I mean, would you wanna ride in this? After I put it together?"
Nels: [after Emily gave a catalog with headshots in bridles] "That doesn't help! That's meaningless!"
Bjorn: "I don't know what some of this stuff does."
Nels: "I don't know what any of this stuff does!"
Nels: "Do I have it right?"
Emily: laughs
Nels: [reading the catalog] "This fits discreetly under the crown piece. In case you didn't know that."
Nels: "How do you remember all this? There's so many loose ends…"
Bjorn: "Am I done?"
Emily: "Think about which way the noseband is facing and which way the browband is facing…" (editor's note: the browband and the throatlatch were touching at this point.)
Sarah: [to Nels] "See what you have in your left hand? You want your right hand to be like tha- …Oh… No… they're both wrong."
Nels: "Is that supposed to come out?"
Nels: "They go through where?!?"
Nels: [after about 15 minutes] "So this goes on its head, right?"
Nels: "Personally, I would've just tied these parts together like shoelaces."
Nels: [Five minutes after the lesson has ended, quietly, to himself] "That was stressful…"
Oh by the way, while all of this was going on, Kerri, a dressage rider and our Marketing Manager of SmartSupplements put together an entire bridle in eight minutes…with her eyes closed.
Just another day at SmartPak. I love my job 😀
Do you have a story about a non-horsey co-worker, friend or family member getting horsey things hilariously wrong? Share it in the comments below or on our Facebook wall – we can't wait to read them (and they'll make Nels feel better).

Hi all, I am pleased to introduce another new contributor to georgeweahscousin.com in the form of former Saints trainee Scott Gordon. Scott hails from the Emerald Isle, more specifically Lurgan, Co. Armagh. He is the husband to Joanna and soon to be father to a junior Saint.
He has been a Saints fan for nearly 16 years, which all started when the club plucked him from obscurity as a 13 year old playing in his local league. After a week's trial he found himself signing a 5 year deal that would change his life forever. He might no longer be a Saints player, but he is still Northern Ireland's number one fan!
Over to you Scott! – Chris
Saints Academy: Talent Architects…
Bridge. Baird. Bale. Walcott. Chamberlain. Five names from the modern day football world and all with one massive thing in common… they are all products of the fantastic Saints Academy. Skip back a few years and Mike Channon, Matthew Le Tissier, the Wallace brothers, Alan Shearer and Francis Benali are once again products of our enviable youth system.
The 'Academy' as we know it today came into formation in the 98/99 season. This marked the start of the new scholarships rather than the YTS system of old. In effect these scholarships were designed to safeguard the future of the young players, if and when, they did not manage to make it in football. As a product of this academy (class of 2001) I guess I am glad the scholarship was offered. I'm now a PE teacher back home in Northern Ireland and without the investment from the club and the FA, this may not have been a reality for me. But this was not exactly the remit of the club.
As with any smaller club the purpose of an academy is to produce fine young players to come through and represent the first team. The five players mentioned in the opening line of this piece all achieved this goal and I might add, performed admirably for the senior side. They do, however, have another thing in common… All sold by the Saints. For a total of £38million.
I guess that's where I have a problem with our club and the way we handle our younger players. For too long we have been a selling club. You can add Brian Howard, Matthew Mills and Scott McDonald into the list of players that have moved on. I wonder now that we have returned to the Premier League will we still have the same attitude? If we still had the big 5 players with us, would we have gotten back to the promised land a lot sooner? Who knows. My only hope is that we become a keeping club and not sell on our best products. Lallana is still there and that is a good sign and there are many other players coming through (I'm told James Ward-Prowse and Corby Moore are two to look out for).
In my time, Crewe, West Ham and Coventry were the clubs with the supposed best academy set ups. I firmly believed then and now that we have the best. Back in 2000 we were defeated in the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup 2-1 over two legs by a Coventry side that were then chinned 7-1 by an Arsenal side that contained Steve Sidwell. I can remember reading a quote from our then managers Stewart Henderson and John Sainty. They said that yes, we were on a great run in the competition, but this success did not guarantee any player a professional contract or a future at the club (a statement which was made abundantly clear one season later as I was shown the door).
When I left in 2001, two others came with me and only five (Alan Blayney, Ryan Ashford, Chris Baird, Scott McDonald and Brian Howard) went on to represent the first team. In total we had 25 players across our 1st and 2nd year scholars. None are with the club now and very few are still making a living from the game. It used to be said you had to be best in Europe to make it as a pro footballer. Our year changed that to be the best in the world. Players from all over Uk, Italy, Russia, Africa and Australia represented our youth team during my time with Southampton.
We are without doubt one of the best Academy setup's in the country. My only hope is that we hold on to our talent and let the other teams be envious of us for a while.

It seems we have a moving violation.
City restaurateurs — some of them, anyway — are disenchanted with the proliferation and popularity of food carts, those Meals on Wheels for foodies. The restaurateurs claim the carts are eating into their profits. They say the carts have an unfair advantage because they haven't the overhead restaurants do and they don't pay property taxes.
So they want a moratorium on them. The head of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association, Ian Tostenson, demanded that Vancouver city council stop its plans over the next two years to issue up to 30 more food-cart permits — augmenting the hundred or so carts already in operation.
He said Vancouver needs a "reality check" before allowing more food carts, and points to 16 restaurants along Granville Street that claim their profits have fallen six to 10 per cent since the arrival of the carts on the street in 2010. (If the quality of food, service or ambience were factors in the decline of any of those restaurants, Tostenson, as far as I know, did not say.)
The BCRFA found a champion in Non-Partisan Association Coun. George Affleck, a small-business owner himself. After meeting with a group of those restaurateurs, Affleck announced his intention to table a motion asking city staff to consider changes to the food cart program that might ease the restaurateurs' concerns — by which I take it to mean their bottom lines.
"I know this is going to be seen as an anti-food-cart motion," Affleck protested, "but that's not what it is.
"I live downtown, so I like the food carts. They're great. But I don't want to lose one identity (restaurants) at the expense of another (food carts). This motion isn't about solutions yet, it's about how we might better accommodate both restaurants and food carts."
In this food fight, oddly, it's the leftish wheat-growing bike-pedallers of Vision Vancouver that have been standing up for unbridled capitalism. Coun. Heather Deal, who's been handling the issue for Vision, has said the city has no plans to stop issuing permits, while reminding the restaurateurs that this is a free-market system.
How well I know that. Newspapers operate in a free-market system, but as I recall, not a single politician stepped forward to call for the regulation of, or a moratorium on, the Internet — the proliferation and popularity of which may cause the death of my industry.
What do we hear instead?
Adapt or die. Innovate or perish. Good riddance to the mainstream media, and, oh ya, we're going to reprint your articles on our website without paying for them.
That was our "reality check," to quote Tostenson, and newspapers have had to tread water mightily just to keep afloat.
The Internet is here to stay, and newspapers will have to learn how to live with it or perish.
But enough about me.
In Portland, Ore., which has 700 licensed food carts — about 400 of which are open for business on any given day — restaurants and food carts have learned how to live together.
"Surprisingly," said Brett Burmeister, managing editor of the Food Carts Portland website, "there's been very little push-back from restaurants. The issue is more that they're competing for a different dollar than food carts."
Restaurateurs also understand, Burmeister said, that food carts could even augment their business. The carts themselves have become a tourist draw, and when food-cart-loving foodies come to check them out — as many Vancouverites do, Burmeister said, because he's met many of them — they invariably spend money in the local bars, hotels and restaurants. It was, he said, "an enlightened, entrepreneurial approach."
Portland has a somewhat different approach to the mobility of food carts — they cluster in the dozens on empty lots, where they become, in effect, stationary. But those clusters can be right in the heart of the downtown, such as the one at 10th and Alder, where about 60 food carts serve everything from banh mi to foie gras. I've eaten there myself.
Maybe our city council could look at something like that as a sop to the downtown restaurateurs, though I'd bet they'd balk at even that.
But you don't stop or limit the licensing of food carts just because restaurateurs don't like the competition.
The landscape and the market have changed, and sorry, if you can't make a meal of it, it's time to move on.

Hi all,
Is there any feature in Touch charts1.0 to export it in a spreadsheet or PDF or either saving as image format.
As mentioned in Ext js 4.1 is there any option to save charts.
is there any idea to include this feature in touch charts 2.0 or in sencha touch??save( Object config )Saves the chart by either triggering a download or returning a string containing the chart data. The action depends on the export type specified in the passed configuration.
Possible export types: - "image/png" - "image/svg+xml"
Other configuration properties: - width
Example usage:
- config : Object(required) Object which contains information about the export-type
Or else if these option are not available is there any other way to achieve this.
Any work around appreciated.

A still-shirtless Iggy Pop writhes onstage backed by Williamson, bassist Mike Watt, and drummer Scott Asheton
Williamson never anticipated a second act in the music business, but when Ron Asheton died on New Year's Day in 2009 and his old bandmate came calling, it was an offer he could hardly refuse. "Iggy called me up and we had several conversations," says Williamson. "Initially, I told him no—because I wasn't even sure I could do it. I hadn't played guitar in 30 years. But once I retired from Sony, I was free to do whatever. I thought, 'I owe it to those guys.' We go back to our 20s and they needed me, so I said 'What the hell' and I signed up."
He spent months relearning his old parts by gigging with a local group called Careless Hearts prior to rehearsals. The Stooges' first gig with Williamson back in the fold was in front of 40,000 people in Sao Paolo, Brazil—quite a leap from his previous largest audience, which was somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000.
After a few years on the road, they'd worked up new material and decided to take it to the studio. The resulting record, Ready to Die, is an eclectic mix of the classic, overdriven Stooges sound with tracks like "Sex and Money," "Gun," and "Ready to Die" interspersed with tunes that verge on balladry ("Unfriendly World," "Beat that Guy")—albeit with a fair dose of grit.
The band's creative process involved jamming on riffs that Williamson had worked up on his own, just like the old days, before heading into the studio. "We finished up the jams we wanted to record—it was about 15 altogether—and we ended up with the 10 on the record," he says. "It felt good and I think the album sounds good. Our goal going in was to sound like us, and I think we achieved that."
James Williamson's Gear
1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom, 1962 Fender Jaguar, 1963 Martin D-28, Gibson B-25
1964 Vox AC30 Super Twin (studio), 1957 tweed Fender Deluxe (studio), Blackstar Artisan 30 (live)
Advanced Pedal Workshop Treble Boost, Durham Electronics Sex Drive
Strings, Picks, and Accessories
D'Addario EXL110 (.010–.046) electric sets, D'Addario medium-gauge acoustic sets, D'Addario medium-gauge picks
Gear-wise, Williamson elected to use the same recipe that led to his iconic tone on Raw Power: a 1969 Martin D-28 acoustic guitar along with his trusted 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom played through a 1964 Vox AC30 Super Twin amp. "The Les Paul Custom I use has a very specific sound that is unique to it," he explains. "In the early days, the pickups were all handwound so each one was different. This one has a relatively low DC resistance, so it has a certain kind of sound to it." Williamson takes two backup Les Paul Customs on the road, and both are equipped with pickups reverse-engineered by Jason Lollar to match the set in his '69 Paul.
In addition to playing guitar on Ready to Die, Williamson served as producer—and he was determined to forestall the types of knocks he'd previously gotten as a producer. "Sometimes people criticize me and say I don't favor my guitar as much as I should. This time I said, 'You know what, you want guitar? I'll give you guitar!'"
YouTube It
This 2010 version of "Search and Destroy"—probably Williamson's most well-known tune—finds the ex-Sony V.P. rocking his trademark black Les Paul Custom through a trio of Blackstars.
In this live rendition of "Gimme Danger," Williamson employs a goldtop Les Paul outfitted with a Fishman Powerbridge to produce the opening acoustic tones before launching into full electric onslaught.
Need evidence of how Williamson, Iggy Pop, and the Stooges presaged punk in 1970? This clip begins with a network-TV talking head marveling at how "the kids seem to be enjoying" Pop's repeated ventures into the crowd, as well as his rubbing of peanut butter on his chest.

- If you are to use pictures use them as big as possible so that they can be easily seen
- When you use a picture or photo on a slide, make sure only to include the minimum amount of text with it.
- The text should be aligned with the photo or should be edited to be within the picture (whereas part of the photo serves as the actual background) this way it looks modern and classy.
