Saturday March 9, 2013
DESPITE the increased competition brought on by a new player in the local cement industry, Bradley Mulroney, president and chief executive officer of Lafarge Malayan Cement Bhd, the country's largest cement producer, is confident the outlook for the industry, which closely tracks the construction sector and property development, remains bright.
One cannot fault him for his confidence as signs of construction are popping up all over the central Klang Valley with the rollout of the infrastructure projects under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP).
Furthermore, the local property development scene continues to be robust with projects being launched in the key regions of Penang, the Klang Valley and Johor.
Mulroney points to positive signs in construction trends this year with demand "positively orientated", supported by overall growth in the economy. He is also encouraged by the positive trend of projects in the pipeline.
Mulroney tells StarBizWeek that earnings should be "satisfactory" this year but declined to give any guidance on earnings although the 4%-5% sales volume growth seen last year should continue this year.
For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2012, the company's net profit rose about 10% year-on-year to RM349mil on revenue which grew 7% to RM2.74bil.
On the other hand, due to lower domestic cement selling price and plant maintenance, fourth-quarter net profit slipped 10% to RM105.72mil even though revenue increased 5% to RM690mil.
Mulroney says that a combination of product differentiation in terms of more environmentally sustainable products, continued growth in the construction sector and exports will help the company maintain its position in the domestic market, where it has a 40% share.
Price Instability
He says local cement producers cannot "stand still" in terms of their capacity or they will not be able to cope and lose their market share.
"YTL Cement Bhd and Cement Industries of Malaysia Bhd's (CIMA) expansion plans are very logical. They're in a growth market and so they need to increase their capacity," Mulroney says.
Due to the increased competition, major industry players have taken to giving rebates and bulk discounts as they scramble to protect market share even after raising prices last August.
"The instability is extremely damaging to the construction sector and to our customers because it affects the service level we provide to our customers," Mulroney adds.
He expects cement prices to gradually return to a more stable level in the next several months as demand for cement rises in the second half of the year with a number of infrastructure projects announced earlier coming through.
He echoes Mulroney's views on the resilience of the construction sector as projects under the ETP and 10MP progress with property launches in the Klang Valley and Iskandar Malaysia.
But Mulroney says there is a lag between the announcement of projects and when the contracts are parcelled out where ETP and 10MP projects are concerned, therefore any realisation of earnings for the company will take time to show up.
Meanwhile, CIMB Investment Bank Bhd analyst Sharizan Rosely says the entry of Hume which triggered the industry-wide price instability in the fourth quarter is expected to continue into most of this year.
He observes that competition will intensify as industry capacity rises 22% by year-end. YTL Cement and CIMA plan another 1.5 million tonnes each of capacity.
"This will continue to affect Lafarge's net selling prices as industry average rebates remained high," Sharizan points out, adding that the company may offset this with higher margin products.
He says net selling prices are expected to be under pressure in the medium term as it usually takes six to nine months for new plants to stabilise.
Going forward, analysts say mass rapid transit tunnel-lining works may help to lift earnings despite the price pressures.
Iqbal says Lafarge has a higher chance of securing the exclusive cement and concrete supply for the tunnelling project (managed by the MMC Corp Bhd-Gamuda Bhd joint venture) as the company not only has the various composite cement products to meet the requirements but also has the track record supplying cement to the same consortium.
Currently, Lafarge has exclusive contracts to supply cement for the KLIA2 project as well as the Manjung and Tanjung Bin power plant projects.
Given the competition, Mulroney says the company will look to secure projects with higher margins. "We'll look at the critical aspects of the project and where we can help in relation to the design and product required," he says.
Moreover, Mulroney says the company's export buffer will help to mitigate some of the pressure from domestic competition. "We've the luxury, the room and flexibility compared to the others in terms of how we choose to manage competition."
Lafarge Confident of 2013 Outlook

Summer may be the season of Hollywood blockbusters, but production news is perennial. Two major studios have finally announced the directors they're entrusting with some of their most beloved characters and anticipated franchise films.
First up is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is expanding with two new additions to their Phase Three slate: Ant-Man and Doctor Strange. Following Edgar Wright's abrupt exit from Ant-Man over creative differences, Peyton Reed has been hired to replace him. Reed has previously directed such comedies as Bring It On, The Break-Up and Yes Man, which is a telling sign of the tone that Marvel Studios is going for, especially with Anchorman director Adam McKay working on the script. Starring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas, Ant-Man is slated for a July 17, 2015 release.
As for the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Doctor Strange, Marvel has signed Scott Derrickson to helm the film. Unlike the comedic minds working on Ant-Man, Derrickson comes from the world of supernatural horror, having directed The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister and the 2008 remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. It will be interesting to see if Derrickson's minor in theological studies will help him translate the comic's focus on mysticism to the big screen.
Another cinematic universe returning to theaters isn't a universe at all, but a galaxy far, far away. Following the hiring of Godzilla director, Gareth Edwards, Josh Trank is now the second filmmaker attached to a stand-alone/spin-off Star Wars film, one of three that will alternate every other year with each installment of the upcoming sequel trilogy.
But Trank is no stranger to sci-fi and superheroes. He made his directorial debut in 2012 with the innovative riff on the superhero genre, Chronicle, which was well received by both audiences and critics, and now he's directing Fox's reboot of The Fantastic Four, due out in June 2015. Of his hiring, Trank commented, "The magic of the Star Wars Universe defined my entire childhood. The opportunity to expand on that experience for future generations is the most incredible dream of all time." ~Daniel Horowitz

Burnley v Basaksehir Betting Preview, Odds & Tips | 16th August
Christopher Loader (@LuckyLoaders15) previews Burnley v Basaksehir and provides us with his best bets for Thursday's Europa League qualifier second leg, analysing team news, potential line-ups, head-to-head, key stats and facts and more.
Burnley v Basaksehir Betting Preview, Odds & Tips
- Date: 16/08/2018
- Time: 19:45
- Venue: Turf Moor
- Channel: BT Sports
Both teams will be in for a tense night of action at Turf Moor on Thursday night after 0-0 first leg in Turkey. The winner of the tie will either face Greek giant Olympiakos or Swiss Side Luzern in the playoff round.
As a Southampton supporter, my team played Burnley at the weekend and were probably fortunate to come away with a point. Burnley created some dangerous opportunities in the first half but were not able to capitalise on them. Once Southampton changed formation in the second half Burnley were then on the back foot but managed to keep the Saints out with the score finishing 0-0.
However, Istanbul Basaksehir were able to kick-off with a 2-0 win in the Turkish Super League against Trabzonspor with thanks to goals from Manuel De Costa and Emmanuel Adebayor.
Team News
Burnley could make more changes on Thursday with Chris Wood expecting to be fit after starting against Southampton. Recent addition Ben Gibson from Middlesbrough could be likely to make his debut. Dyche is probably likely to stay with Hart again despite Burnley's goalkeeping crisis even though Heaton was on the bench at St Marys.
Istanbul have no reported injury concerns since the weekend but people might recognise Gael Clichy and Emmanuel Adebayor in the line ups at the Turfmoor.
Burnley Potential Starting XI: Hart, Lowton, Mee, Gibson, Ward, Lennon, Westwood, Cork, Gudmundsson, Wood, Vydra
Istanbul Basaksehir Potential Starting XI: Gunok, Caicara, De Costa, Epureanu, Clichy, Jojic, Inler, Adogydu, Visca, Bajic, Elia
Betting Odds
- Burnley 21/20 (Sky Bet)
- Draw 21/10 (William Hill)
- Istanbul Basaksehir 13/5 (Betfred)
The Verdict
I personally see this is as a very tight affair on Thursday. Burnley don't tend to score many goals but don't concede many either. They are a well drilled team who always give maximum effort. I can see both managers setting out not to concede. Istanbul are not new to Europa League football and made the Group Stage last season. They have some good experienced players such as Clichy, Inler, Elia but I don't see them breaking Burnley down. Even though Burnley didn't convert their chances against Southampton I feel that with home advantage they can nick a goal and qualify for the next round which would be another historical victory for the club.
Recommended Bets
- Burnley 1-0 5/1 (Bet 365)
- Under 1.5 Goals 13/8 (Bet 365)

An Overview of Solar Power Procurement Options
By Hillary Dobos and Emily Artale
Many of our clients have shown interest in pursuing solar energy but are quickly overwhelmed by the myriad of solar power procurement options available to them.
This blog provides a brief overview of some of the options for procuring solar power. As different organizations may have diverse goals for solar procurement, finding the "right" option(s) will also vary. We do not specifically endorse any one method over the other, but rather provide some basic information to answer some of the most common questions.
Solar Procurement Options
Renewable Energy Credits (also known as RECs, Renewable Energy Certificates or greentags)
A grid-tied renewable electricity generator, such as a solar array, produces two distinct products: 1) electricity and 2) a package of environmental benefits resulting from not generating the same electricity and emissions from a conventional natural gas or coal-fired power plant. These environmental benefits are collectively known as Renewable Energy Credits, or RECs. RECs are sold, traded, or bartered on a market or through bilateral transaction. RECs are used by entities as a way to reduce their environmental footprint and help fund renewable energy development. They allow organizations to claim that the electric power they are using comes from renewable sources and apply the renewable attributes to any facility.
- Unique benefits: Simple transactions, flexible market in that you can select the location, resource type, and vintage of RECs, you can claim environmental benefits if RECs are retired, and one time purchases are possible, unlike other options where long-term contracts are usually required.
- Things to consider: RECs do not hedge against increasing energy costs, they do not always come from a local project, and the environmental attributes can be hard to explain to constituents.
For more on RECs see the following blog "Renewable Energy Credits (RECs): A Review of the Basics and Questions to Ask before Utilizing RECs as a Way to Meet Renewable Energy Goals."
Participate in a Community Solar Garden
Solar gardens consist of a large photovoltaic array on a large parcel of land. Individuals or businesses can buy a number of solar panels from a solar garden array or purchase electricity generated by a specified number of solar panels and receive credit, as utility incentives, on their electricity bills for the energy production that they own. Solar gardens make sense for entities that are unable or not prepared to host or own a system on their building's roof or adjacent to their property and do not want to be responsible for the maintenance of a system.
- Unique benefits: Operation and maintenance is administered by a third party, solar is ideally located for maximum production output and is usually from a local resource, and the owner usually has the ability to transfer renewable energy to different premise locations. In addition, potentially save money compared to regular electricity costs and provides a fixed cost of electricity over the life of the system helping hedge against increased energy costs.
- Things to consider: Community solar gardens are not widely available, participating entity might not be able to claim environmental if RECs are not retained, and participating in a solar garden can be a complex transaction.
For more information on Solar Gardens see the following blog "Increasing Transparency of the solar Garden Process: The Top 4 Questions You Should Ask When Considering Participation in a Solar Garden."
On-site Generation
An organization that is able to install solar on their own facilities can take advantage of several unique financing options including (but not limited to): leasing solar panels, Power Purchase Agreements, and buying the system outright.
- Unique benefits: On-site solar is visible and tangible and therefore easily communicated to constituents, supports local jobs, usually reduces demand charges, sometimes increases property value, and typically provides a fixed price for electricity over the life of the system hedging against increased energy costs.
- Things to consider: On-site solar can require more upfront planning and project management then other solar options. Other considerations include on-site maintenance of equipment; energy production is limited by location and shape of building(s); and many times substantial upfront capital is needed.
Own the system
Many entities decide to purchase their systems outright through self or third-party financing.
- Some additional unique benefits: Some host entities can benefit from the cash rebates, Federal Investment Tax credits, State Tax Credits and other incentives (including balance sheet benefits such as depreciable asset on the books) available for installing solar (see DSIRE website for a list of incentives, rebates, etc.).
- Additional considerations: Maintenance requirements will fall on the host entity. Please note that owning a system outright can be very legally exhausting for many public and private sector entities that must consider indemnification laws, insurance requirements, and for some public entities TABOR laws before interconnecting to the grid.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
In a PPA a third party project developer (usually called a solar services provider) coordinates the building and maintenance of an entities on-site system. The entity, in return, purchases only the power that is produced from the system. This model greatly simplifies the process of solar by having the experienced solar service provider deal with complex design and permitting processes, benefit from tax credits (something the public sector and some private entities do not benefit from) and take on some of the system performance risks. In addition, little or no upfront capital costs is needed because the entity pays only for a stable, and sometimes lower cost of electricity, then would be paid to their utility. Power purchase agreements are typically for large centralized solar generation stations that provide energy directly to a utility.
- Some additional unique benefits: No upfront capital costs are needed, projects are sometimes cash flow positive on day one, long-term energy costs are known, and solar service providers are incentivized to maintain panels.
- Additional considerations: Long term contracts are usually required and if you sell your property before the lease is up you might have to pay a fine or removal fee.
Solar Lease
A solar lease is very similar to a PPA except for a very important difference that with a solar lease you rent the equipment, while with a PPA you are buying electricity. Therefore, even when the array is producing less due to weather or maintenance issues the entity pays the same (or predictably increasing) amount for the equipment.
- Some additional unique benefits: Very predictable cost structure.
- Additional considerations: The host might be required to do some of the maintenance of the equipment. Long term contracts are usually required and if you sell your property before the lease is up you might have to pay out the remaining lease payments.
Next Steps
Before moving forward we recommend that you do the following before further pursuing solar:
- Understand your motivations for wanting to pursue solar energy. This will directly affect which option you pursue.
- Understand your budget and whether or not financing is an option.
- Take a look at your buildings solar potential. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory provides several free calculators (PVWatts Calculator and System Advisor Model) that allow you to estimate the energy production and cost of energy for installing a PV system.
- Research solar power procurement options available to your location. See EPAs Green Power Locator and/or the Solar Energy Industries Association database for a list of providers.
- Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com for a more thorough review of each option and the resulting costs/savings to your community/company.

World's best butchers set sights on Sacramento
After a lengthy bidding process, Sacramento in California has been announced as the host city for the 2020 World Butchers' Challenge, after submitting the sharpest application.
Fifteen teams of six butchers from across the globe will travel to the United States – for the first time – to battle it out in what will be the biggest competition yet. Each team will have just three hours and fifteen minutes to breakdown a side of beef, a side of pork, a whole lamb and five chickens into a themed display of value-added cuts, to determine which nation will be announced as the world's best butchers.
The World Butchers' Challenge, a hugely visual spectacle which rivals the most intense and captivating of sporting events, was established in 2011 and has experienced massive growth over the past few years.
The Butchers of America, who competed at the 2018 competition alongside eleven other nations in Northern Ireland, placed their bid for 2020 in conjunction with the tourism board – Visit Sacramento –as they believe the city provides the perfect platform for butchers to be showcased to the rest of the world.
The planning committee for the 2020 World Butchers' Challenge are considering August – September 2020 to host the competition which will begin with a study tour at which the teams and accompanying delegates will tour Sacramento visiting butcher shops, farms and restaurants whilst also taking the opportunity to network.
The number of competing teams is expected to grow from 12 to 15 as are entries into the World Champion Young Butcher and Apprentice Competition which takes place prior to the main event. These two categories, modelled on the same concept as the World Butchers' Challenge, are individual competitions which recognise and reward upcoming talent in the industry.
2018 World Butchers' Challenge winners, Team Ireland, have already confirmed their interest in defending their title – as have founding countries: Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand – claiming their win has given butchers, nationwide, a well-deserved place in the spotlight.

Flu scare puts soccer games in jeopardy
MEXICO CITY – Columbia and Chile turned down a proposal Friday to host two Mexican clubs' Copa Libertadores matches, fearing the players might bring swine flu with them.
Chivas and San Luis qualified for the round of 16 in the Copa Libertadores – the Latin American club championship – but South American soccer officials do not want to play matches in Mexico, where the flu outbreak is worst.
Colombian soccer officials earlier agreed to host the two Mexican clubs' home games in Bogota. But health officials rejected the proposal.
The Chile Football Federation said its government also rejected the idea.

Baseball: Xavier rallies past Cheshire
Falcons rally past Cheshire
MIDDLETOWN >> It was the kind of win that can turn a season around.
After falling behind by four runs, Xavier rallied for two in the fourth, then three in the sixth to beat Cheshire 5-4 in a Southern Connecticut Conference inter-divisional game at Palmer Field Wednesday afternoon.
"This was a huge win, one that we really needed," Xavier coach Nick Cerreta said. "We hadn't been able to put a couple together, and now we have and we have another big game Friday with Hand.
"It's really now or never for us. I told the kids the second half of the season has to be ours and this was a big step."
Xavier is 5-8, but has five of its last seven games at home. A loss Wednesday would have been devastating. Now the Falcons need to win just three to qualify for the state tournament, and must win five of seven -- certainly doable -- to finish with a .500 record.
But it looked for a while that this would be another lost afternoon for Xavier.
Starting pitcher Miles Michaud threw a scoreless first and got two quick outs to start the second. Then he couldn't get anyone out. Six consecutive batters reached on three walks and three hits to give Cheshire a 3-0 lead -- Ryan Pierpont's (2-for-4) two-run single was the highlight of the rally -- and when the Rams added another in the fourth to take a 4-0 lead, loss No. 9 loomed.
But Xavier got a little help from its friend -- the Cheshire defense -- to not only get back in the game, but to win it.
"It's about time we got some breaks," Cerreta said. "We haven't gotten any all year."
Jake Corrone (2-for-3) got the Falcons started in the fourth with a booming triple to the fence in center field. Alex Parkos brought him home with a sacrifice fly to right. Pat Downey reached when second baseman Altin Kabashi booted his ground ball. Given a gift, the Falcons unwrapped it.
A single by Eli Camner (2-for-3) and a walk to Evan Curtin loaded the bases and pinch-hitter Aiden Serrano's fly ball to right made it 4-2. Xavier won it in the sixth, again with great help from the Cheshire defense.
Downey opened the inning with a single, which left fielder Pierpont kicked around for a free base. Camner then singled Downey home and on this hit, center fielder Jason Strollo butchered the ball giving Camner second base.
Then it was losing pitcher Adam von Fischer's (2-3) turn to join in the error-fest. He booted Curtin's sacrifice bunt and everybody was safe. Jake Alonzo was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
A wild pitch tied the game, and Andre Marchessault's sacrifice fly, the Falcons' third of the game, chased home Curtin with the eventual winning run. Three of Xavier's five runs were unearned, but that's just bookkeeping.
Reliever Matt Naarden made sure the game stayed in the win column with two and third innings of strong relief. He struck out five and retired the final eight batters he faced to get the win.
"I thought Michaud did a good job," said Cerreta. "He slowed the game down and kept us in it. Yeah, he had that one bad inning, but it could have been much worse as he pitched out of trouble. Then Naarden did a phenomenal job. He hasn't pitched a lot, although when he has he's been good. He threw strikes and did a great job."
Michaud went four innings, gave up four runs -- all earned -- allowed just four hits and struck out four. But he walked seven.
The task ahead for the Falcons, although less daunting with this come-from-behind win, won't be easy.
"People say the hardest part is behind us, but that's not true," Cerreta said. "We still have a tough schedule and there's a lot of talent in this league."
Friday night's game with Hand at 7 at Palmer Field is the Falcons' Breast Cancer Awareness Night. Donations will be accepted at the park for Breast Cancer Research.

Watch Justin Timberlake and James Corden play angry trolls in Trolls trailer
Cartoon also has the voices of Zooey Deschanel, Anna Kendrick and Gwen Stefani
Justin Timberlake has given a first taste of his voice skills as an angry troll in the initial trailer for the Trolls cartoon.
The trailer for the film, out November 4, sees Timberlake play grey troll Branch say grumpily that "Right outside my door lurks a nightmare named Poppy." Poppy is revealed as a colourful and bouncy troll leader, voiced by Twilight actress Anna Kendrick.
The trailer also gives brief excerpts of other trolls in the film, who are voiced by James Corden, Zooey Deschanel and Gwen Stefani. The film follows the plight of the trolls, who are menaced by troll-eating monsters called Bergens.
Other voices in the film, made by DreamWorks, come from Jeffrey Tambor, Big Bang Theory actor Kunal Nayyar, comedian Ron Funches and Icona Pop.
The trailer is soundtracked by Timberlake's recent single 'Can't Stop The Feeling', which reached No 2, kept from the top by Drake's 'One Dance', which is still at No 1 for an 11th week.
Timberlake has written several other new songs for the Trolls soundtrack and is the music supervisor on the film. He also recently duetted with Anna Kendrick on a cover of Cyndi Lauper's 1986 hit 'True Colours' before a preview screening of Trolls at Cannes Film Festival.
Trolls is directed by Mike Mitchell, whose previous animated films include Shrek Forever After.

Fellow journalists, have no fear. Publishers Weekly assures us that an intriguing and newsworthy new book about religion is "enjoyable" and The New York Times finds it "lucid."
This despite being written by a heavyweight philosopher and published by the intellectually elite Harvard University Press.
The title, "The Meaning of Belief: Religion from an Atheist's Point of View," announces that author Tim Crane, raised Catholic in Britain, is, yes, a convinced atheist. But instead of preaching to his choir he seeks tolerance and disputes the contempt for belief from "new atheists" in media-beloved books like "Breaking the Spell," "The End of Faith," The God Delusion" and "God Is Not Great."
To Crane, atheists of that sort do not grasp the immensity and sheer humanity of religion, why the world's 6 billion assorted believers are neither fools nor knaves, and why faith cannot be liquidated in our scientific age though many have tried -- whether through education, propaganda, prison, or executions.
The Religion Guy has not (yet) read this book but alerts fellow journalists to the news potential signaled in coverage to date. Note especially the Times treatment by James Ryerson, whose Book Review columns cover university press offerings.
Crane -- reachable via firstname.lastname@example.com -- is no slouch among philosophy professors. He just moved to Hungary's Central European University after holding the Knightbridge chair at the University of Cambridge, and previously headed the philosophy faculty at University College London.
He laments atheistic portrayals of religion as some unfortunate carryover from primitive civilization that tries to explain the cosmos in the way science does, as a result appearing "irrational" and "superstitious." Instead, he figures, two natural factors underlie faith. The first is the "religious impulse," most peoples' awareness that something transcends our ordinary experience. The second is "identification," the satisfactions within a social group that provides a sense of belonging and seeks to make sense of a perplexing world.
Thus religion can be fully rational, an "intelligible human reaction to the mystery of the world."
Journalists well know the agenda. Why do bad things happen to good people, and good to bad? Why this earthquake or that tornado? Religionists will say that no neat, ultimate answers exist "in this life." That attitude of acceptance toward mystery is the total opposite of science, which cannot abide unanswered questions and works hard to eliminate them.
Incidentally, Crane thinks religion defies definition yet offers this bare-bones attempt: "A systematic and practical attempt by human beings to find meaning in the world and their place in it, in terms of their relationship to something transcendent." (Religious adherents would add doctrines, moral duties, rituals, scriptures, and, especially with Christianity, assertions about historical events e.g. Jesus' resurrection.)
Crane's prolific academic writings mostly treat an equally inexplicable reality: human consciousness. He observed last May in the Times Literary Supplement (of London) that neuroscientists remain "utterly baffled as to how [the human brain's] fatty, yoghurt-y matter could be up to the task" of fostering the mental contemplations, calculations and memories we all know; indeed, "how physical processes can give rise to any conscious experience at all." It "seems impossible" yet "it actually happens."
For more on Crane's cast of mind see his "Mystery and Evidence" article picked up online by The New York Times, and various online speeches including this video.
Further out, there's some new interest in the turn-the-tables topic of whether atheism is irrational, per items from The New York Times, Psychology Today magazine and Michigan's Kaufman Interfaith Institute.

Boathouse Asian Eatery Debuts its First Las Vegas Location inside Palace Station
Northern California-based brother and sister duo opens all-new
innovative Asian-inspired restaurant concept in Las Vegas
(Las Vegas, July 31, 2018) - As part of a $192 million property-wide modernization, Palace Station unveiled its all-new Asian-inspired restaurant, Boathouse Asian Eatery. Created by dynamic brother and sister team Cat and Tu Do together with their partner Hans Mogensen from Northern California, the restaurant joins the recently opened next generation Feast Buffet on the new casino floor. Boathouse Asian Eatery serves up lunch and dinner and features authentic Asian cuisine with an innovative dining experience.
Boathouse Asian Eatery features a guest capacity of more than 200 people for both indoor and outdoor seating, complete with a large cocktail bar, 14-seat sushi bar and six seat noodle bar, all in a contemporary atmosphere. The restaurant celebrates Asian fare and features an eclectic menu with touches from Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine.
Inspired by its Graton Resort & Casino-based location that is managed by Station Casinos on behalf of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, the restaurant conveys a farm-to-table style presentation, paired with a modern design. Guests are welcomed into the restaurant with its wall-to-wall custom octopus mural designed to symbolize good fortune, as well as hand-painted art found throughout the space. The restaurant showcases a sense of simplicity with its clean, crisp lines, wood accents, and high ceilings – evoking a warm, inviting feel.
From small plates to soups, wok and steamed options to shellfish, and favorites from the sushi and noodle bars, the menu boasts a creative take on traditional Asian-inspired classics and showcases a variety of dishes that root from the duo's childhood memories of cooking with their mother. To pair with the vibrant menu, guests can sip on boutique Sonoma County wines; sake, and beer options; as well as artisanal cocktails, such as Dragons Lair (vodka, cranberry juice, lemon juice, Liquid Alchemist ginger syrup), Buddha Fizz (Hendrick's gin, lime juice, simple syrup, matcha powder), and Mutsu Miso Mule (Kaffir lime infused Ketel One, miso syrup, lime juice, Fever Tree ginger beer).
Some of Boathouse Asian Eatery's standout menu items include:
Boathouse Asian Eatery at Palace Station marks Cat and Tu Do, along with their partner Hans Mogensen's seventh restaurant concept on the West Coast. With over 14 years of experience, the trio launched their first restaurant in 2004, and currently own and operate several restaurants in Northern California including Mumfresh Vietnamese Eatery in San Francisco International Airport and San Jose, CA; Boathouse Sushi Japanese Bistro and Kettles Vietnamese Bistro in Santa Rosa, CA; as well as Boathouse Asian Noodles and Boathouse Asian Eatery inside Graton Resort & Casino in Rohnert Park, CA. In addition, they are expected to open Mumfresh Asian Eats, a casual quick-serve venue with a teppanyaki-inspired menu inside Palace Station's Marketplace, which will offer popular dishes including banh mi sandwiches, noodle soups, and Boba teas – set to open later this year.
Boathouse Asian Eatery is open daily for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, visit https://palacestation.sclv.com.

I went to town to get some groceries and stuff for today's gathering. We are having friends over to celebrate our new site this afternoon. In this resort, wine is a must and we just don't drink the stuff... not sure we needed it though since a neighbour tells us gatherings are BYOB around here, our experience so far has been with the Entegra group so provide it we did. Not like the stuff will go off, and Brad's Mum likes it so it will disappear eventually.
While I was out shopping Brad assembled the fire pit coffee table and moved all the livingroom furniture over to its rightful place and it looks amazing!
I also went to the HOA office to get our remote control gate openers so we don't have to deal with security all the time. They also gave us our Golf Bag tags, not sure we'll ever have Golf Bags but we're thinking about it since golfing is free for us as owners.
To finish out our day we had Dave & Karen over for supper, we BBQ'd steak and had Greek, Potatoe and Macaroni salads and Dave & Karen brought Pork Tenderloin, Rice and Chef's salad. Quite the gut bash we had last night! After dinner we sat around our new fire pit and simply enjoyed each others company for awhile with a little drink to help wash down dinner, then Eclairs for dessert. A week ago I introduced Karen to the Smirnoff Variety pack and have now created a monster LOL

Yesterday evening, my youngest daughter and I took a little photowalk around the neighborhood. Daylight was beginning to fade. The slush in the streets slowly starting to freeze. My daughter explaining the rule of thirds to me and somehow claiming the Leica as her own.

As I've mentioned in the past, I've become very intrigued with controlling and sculpting light.
I've never been one to share what I would consider incomplete work but I'm going to go out on a limb. It's a process. Both educational and creative. Part of the process is sharing.
I came across two more shows on Netflix last night that are well worth the watch. The first one was a bit of a heavy hitter so we'll start there.
This past weekend was Classical Ballet of Colorado's performance of The Nutcracker. I've had the honor of photographing this show for the past few years and the level of talent never ceases to amaze me.
Just over a week ago, I spent some time working with Kim.
Been awhile since I've written anything, at least publicly, and that's poor form. Sometimes life just gets nutty. In the immortal words of Riff Raff, "It's astounding, time is fleeting, madness takes its toll." Speaking of Riff Raff, I'm long overdue for a Rocky Horror showing.
Lately, I've found myself pushing my photographic envelope. Looking for a way out of the proverbial creative rut that so many of us find ourselves mired in from time to time.
Life moves fast. It is getting faster. The entire Internet is in our pocket. Knowledge, for pleasure or purpose, is very nearly instantaneous. People take immediacy for granted.

This is my last post from our 'wintery escapades', so it's only fitting to wrap things up with a weekend get-a-way to Zermatt!
Have I mentioned that we don't travel lightly? It's wintertime, so we needed winter boots, gloves, scarfs, hats, jackets, hiking boots, dress attire, workout gear, etc.. for three weeks time.
We had three large trunks, two nap sacks, and my SLR camera + gear. You can imagine what we look like in transit, our three trunks weighed in at 67 Kilo (148 pounds)...
The village/town of Zermatt is quaint, with more of a winter feel than Noel. Fireplaces and animal skins to sit on, wintergreen and natural fibers lining the windows.Read More

TOKYO, Sept. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Speaking on September 20th at ad:tech tokyo 2016, one of Asia's largest digital marketing conferences, Steven Chang, Corporate Vice President of Tencent, addressed the topic "Decoding Digital China with Tech Intelligence." Chang shared insights into trends in China's Digital Advertising Market, and revealed how the strength of Tencent's platform, combined with its advanced algorithms, can help brand marketers win in the increasingly complicated and dynamic China market.
ad: tech is a global marketing conference that has been held in major cities around the world. It is where Brands, Agencies, Media and Solution Providers comes together to come to grips with the latest trends, innovations and technologies. ad:tech tokyo has grown into the largest international marketing conference in Asia. Also speaking at the event were representatives from IBM, Unilever, McDonald's, Starbucks, Fujifilm, Yahoo and LinkedIn, to name just a few.
The average Chinese person spends more than 26 hours a week online, an increase of 300% in only a decade. Consumers are increasingly spending more time on cross-platform media content, and are now enabled to make decisions for consumption more independently and conveniently.
"Tencent's powerful data ability, multiple ad-tech products and holistic-scenarios applications can help marketers get the best of both brand advertising and performance advertising so as to improve marketing efficiency and achieve better ROI," Steven pointed out in his speech.
According to Mary Meeker's Internet Trends 2016, Chinese mobile users spend 55%+ of their online time on Tencent platforms, including QQ, Qzone, WeChat, v.qq.com and Tencent News. Take a day of NBA fans as an example: fans access NBA-related information via Tencent News while having breakfast, watch live broadcasts and video on demand through v.qq.com while commuting, interact with friends via WeChat and QQ during lunch time, purchase NBA items via ecommerce platforms such as jd.com, and watch a game on TV in their living rooms at night. This enables Tencent's powerful data capabilities to actualize accurate user recognition both by demographics and behavior profiles across different channels.
By focusing on specific audiences, Tencent's multiple ad-tech products allow it to target users by their individualized interests and ad-match them accurately, further transforming interest into conversion. For example, wherever the context is right, the technology will uncover instant user interest for pushing targeted ads, thus creating precise communication without useless messages.
Tencent's comprehensive products connect holistic scenarios. Tencent data consists of both steric and dynamic data. Steric consists of fundamental characteristics, long-term interest, social preference, buying records, historical footprints, etc. Tencent's dynamic data is made up of instant interest, real-time interaction, payment habits and LBS. Combined, these data tools will provide more open, connected data, which links ad exposure to brand attitudes, consumer behavior and sales.
One good example is Coca-Cola China's "Gold Moments" campaign, the local interpretation of Coke's global "That's Gold" marketing platform for the Rio Olympics. The idea is that "gold" isn't about winning for winning's sake, it's about sharing a dream or a goal with family, friends, coaches and teachers. Leveraging Qzone's 648 million users and 11 years of social data accumulation, Coke is sponsoring the memories and turning them into Gold Moments. Out of all the participants, 30.8 million users found their Golden Moments, and out of these, 32% shared the experience through their social platforms, with a QR code of 1 billion bottles of Coke scanned by participants.
Steven emphasized at the end, "Traditional models of marketing that create big ideas have been giving way to modern marketing paradigms powered by big data. Tencent's advanced algorithms will translate into value for brands, allowing them to reach the broadest coverage of Chinese netizens. These algorithms will also help engage consumers across scenarios, and elevate pertinence by dynamic and contextual messages, so that ultimately these brands become trusted advisors to their customers."

Why is LDL cholesterol considered "bad"?
When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. Together with other substances it can form plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog those arteries. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, it can cause a heart attack or stroke. The levels of high density lipoproteins cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood are measured to evaluate the risk of having a heart attack. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of less than 100 mg/dL is the optimal level. Less than 130 mg/dL is near optimal for most people. A high low-density lipoprotein level (more than 160 mg/dL or 130 mg/dL or above if you have two or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease) reflects an increased risk of heart disease. That's why low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol.
More information on cholesterol
What is cholesterol?
- Cholesterol is a steroid lipid, found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma, of all animals.
What is LDL cholesterol?
- Low-density lipoprotein (or "bad") cholesterol carries the largest amount of cholesterol in the blood and is responsible for depositing cholesterol in the artery walls. An elevated LDL cholesterol level is associated with a greater risk of heart disease.
Why is LDL cholesterol considered "bad"?
- When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain.
What is HDL cholesterol?
- High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is one of several types of fats and is measured as 'Total Cholesterol'. HDL is thought to pick up cholesterol from body tissues and bring it back to the liver for reprocessing or excretion.
Why is HDL cholesterol considered "good"?
- Because HDL clears cholesterol out of the system and high levels of it are associated with a decreased risk of heart disease, HDL is often called "good" cholesterol.
How to raise HDL Cholesterol (good cholesterol)?
- Regular aerobic exercise, loss of excess weight (fat), and cessation of cigarette smoking cigarettes will increase HDL cholesterol levels.
How cholesterol is measured and tested?
- Cholesterol is measured in units called millimoles per litre of blood, usually shortened to "mmol/litre" or "mmol/l".
What're the cholesterol readings?
- Cholesterol readings you receive from your medical provider generally include total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and high density lipoproteins cholesterol levels.
How often should my cholesterol be checked?
- According to a new set of national guidelines governing cholesterol measurement and treatment, it is recommended that the level be treated every 5 years.
What causes high cholesterol?
- High cholesterol is caused by eating a diet that is high in saturated fats and cholesterol. Some people, however, have an inherited disorder in which the body cannot properly metabolize cholesterol.
What are the high cholesterol risk factors?
- A diet high in certain types of fats is one factor. Medical problems such as poorly controlled diabetes, an underactive thyroid gland, an overactive pituitary gland, liver disease or kidney failure also may cause high cholesterol levels.
What're the symptoms of high cholesterol?
- People with severely elevated cholesterol may have fat deposits in tendons and skin, liver and spleen enlargement, and abdominal pain if pancreatitis develops.
What are triglycerides?
- Triglycerides are another type of fat that is associated with adverse health consequences. Many patients with high cholesterol also have high triglycerides.
How to test triglycerides?
- For triglycerides testing, blood is drawn from a vein in the arm. A vein at the inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand is usually selected.
How can LDL cholesterol levels be lowered?
- Lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol involves losing excess weight, exercising regularly, and following a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
How to reduce cholesterol with dietary therapy?
- A low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is desired to keep your total fat consumption--saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated--to fewer than 30 percent of your daily intake of calories.
What about when I go out to eat?
- Avoid fried foods. Entrees covered with sauces, as well as creamy dressing, thick soups and casseroles should be avoided because they are usually rich in fat. Look for items labeled "heart-healthy" on the menu.
What cholesterol medications are available to lower cholesterol?
- Cholesterol-reducing drugs include cholestyramine (Questran), colestipol (Colestid), gemfibrozil (Lopid), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol) and simvastatin (Zocor).
What nutritional supplements are available to reduce cholesterol?
- Artichoke is particularly helpful in relieving gastrointestinal problems that result from an inability to adequately process fats. Garlic assists the heart for centuries and has been used in herbal medicines for all manner of conditions.
What cholesterol lowering food are there?
- Eating more fiber-rich foods may help to lower your blood cholesterol level. Soy products are also linked to reduced cholesterol because of their isoflavone content.

Sometimes an ordinary day can turn into the beginning of a lifetime. This past Saturday, one of my long time friends, Zabdy, married her best friend James. From the moment she walked down the aisle you could feel the love between those too as tears of joy ran down her face. It was so contagious that when she smiled, you smiled and when she cried, you cried! I wish you two all the happiness in the world!
Today our two friends start a journey
walking hand in hand, as one
they'll share everything, always
now that their journey has begun
and as they go on together,
may these two friends always treasure
the day they said, "I do."

Brownfields Statute Law - Bill 56 Backgrounder
Brownfields Regulation has been amended!
A draft regulation made under the Environmental Protection Act to amend Regulation 153/04 was filed with the Registrar of Regulations on March 31, 2008 and published on e-Laws on April 1, 2008.
The amendments to Regulation 153/04 that came into effect on April 1, 2008, revised the list of qualified persons to define a qualified person as a person who "holds a licence, limited licence or temporary licence under the Professional Engineers Act", or a person who "holds a certificate of registration under the Professional Geoscientists Act, 2000 and is a practising member, temporary member or limited member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario". Previously, PEO limited licence holders had been explicitly excluded from the list of qualified persons, who are authorized under the regulation to conduct or supervise phase one and phase two environmental site assessments, and certify records of site condition.
The amendment to Regulation 153/04 that comes into effect on October 1, 2008 will revoke the list of qualified persons in Regulation 153/04, so that the only qualified persons after that date will be PEO and APGO licensees.
The following is a summary of PEO's involvement with the Brownfields legislation, along with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.

The meeting was to clarify PEO's position that the two existing statutes (P.Engs and APGO Acts) provide the only vehicles for public accountability required to effect Bill 56. Furthermore, the meeting again puts on record that, as written in Bill 56, a QP would be practising professional engineering and/or professional geoscience.

May 10, 2002 - A joint letter signed by the presidents of both PEO and APGO to Brian Nixon asks the following two questions:
- Is the Ministry's intention to define a QP as a licensed P.Eng. and/or P.Geo?
- Is the Ministry's desire to avoid creating a separate regulatory framework and to make use of the legislative instruments available in the two Acts, to maximize fulfillment of the Ministry's public policy objectives relating to environmental site assessment and remediation?

- Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH);
- Ministry of Economic Development and Trade (MEDT); and

Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Créme Fraiche Frosting
All I really need to say about these cupcakes is:
But of course, being me, I'll say more. You already guessed that, didn't you?!!
Guys, these little easy-to-make flourless and hence, gluten-free chocolate cupcakes are truly wonderful and something everyone needs in their baking repertoire. They're dense and chocolate through and through--almost like mini soufflé with a melt-in-your-mouth consistency that will truly satisfy the needs of even the most ardent chocoholics. And the bonus is that they literally come together in minutes in one bowl without a mixer, which is dangerous because you can just about make them anytime!!
Take a look now and notice how these sink in the centers as they cool. See that little well there? Notice how it's screaming to be filled with something? Well, I can't think of anything better than this divine vanilla-bean créme fraiche frosting. Like the cupcakes themselves, it's super simple to make and perfectly balances out the sweet rich chocolatey-ness with its slight tang and vanilla overtones. You're gonna love it, even if you're not a big frosting person (like me!)
If you celebrate Passover and are looking for something not too filling or heavy or too complicated to make to cap off the big festive meal, these are perfection! You can even make them a day or two ahead and keep them refrigerated because they're equally good cold or at room temperature. They're gluten-free too so no matter when you make them or who you serve them too, you practically can't go wrong! As soon as I go finish this post, I'm heading downstairs to taste them again...for research purposes of course. I told you serious WOW!!!
And if you're looking for other flour-free desserts, check out these showstoppers: Dark Chocolate Soufflé Cake, Passover Apple Cake, Queen Mother's Cake, Chocolate Pavé and Raspberry Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Cake.
Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Créme Fraiche Frosting
Makes 12 cupcakes
Prep Time for cupcakes: 10-12 minutes; Bake Time: 15-17 minutes; Prep Time for frosting: 5 minutes
For the cupcakes
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not dutch-processed)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon espresso or other strong coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
For the frosting
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- The seeds of one vanilla bean (you could also use 2 teaspoons vanilla extract but the beans really do make this special and are worth it here)
- 1/3 cup créme fraiche
The Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF and generously butter the wells of a 12-cup muffin pan. Set aside.
2. Place the chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 2-3 minutes, doing it in 45 second intervals and stopping and stirring in between until everything is melted and smooth. Let it stand for about 5 minutes to cool. Then, whisk in the eggs until completely incorporated. Whisk in both sugars until smooth. Add half the cocoa powder and whisk again, then add in the vanilla and coffee and whisk and then the remaining cocoa and salt and whisk until all the ingredients are just incorporated.
3. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for about 15-17 minutes, just until the tops of the cupcakes are just set. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before removing--don't be upset when the centers sink a bit--it's supposed to happen!
4. When the cupcakes are cooled, prepare the frosting: If you have a stand mixer, use the whislk attachment, if you are using a handheld kind, just use the regular beaters. Place the cream, sugar and vanilla into the bowl and mix on high for a couple of minutes, until soft peaks begin to form. Add the créme fraiche and beat for another minute or so, until a spreadable consistency is achieved.
5. Top each cupcake with a generous dollop of the mixture (notice how nicely the sunken centers hold the frosting) and smooth out. Serve immediately.
6. You can definitely make these the day before serving and either leave them at room temperature lightly covered or refrigerate them (they are heavenly cold too!) In either case, I would wait to frost them until soon before I was ready to serve them--otherwise you run the risk of the cream separating a bit.

text: World of Warplanes is a free-to-play flight combat massively multiplayer online (MMO) action game developed by Persha Studia in Ukraine and published by Wargaming in Belarus, set in the Golden Age of military aviation. The game was released on November 12, 2013 in CIS countries, and on November 13, 2013 in North America and in Europe. Wargaming's plan to develop a flight combat MMO action game was first conceived during the early stages of World of Tanks' development. World of Warplanes was announced at E3 in 2011, less than two months after the World of Tanks release in Europe and North America. Development was assigned to Persha Studia, the Kiev-based development center of Wargaming. The game went from concept to a playable prototype in only two months. Early alpha testing began August 2011. Wargaming showcased the first public World of Warplanes trailer at Gamescom in August 2011. Wargaming first showed a closed demonstration of the alpha version to journalists at the Igromir Expo in October 2011. American aircraft were the first planes to be added to the World of Warplanes tech tree. On April 4, 2013, the non-disclosure agreement was lifted for the beta test players, allowing beta testers to share their thoughts, screenshots, and in-game videos. At that time, the game offered six battle arenas and over 80 aircraft models from USSR, USA, Germany, and Japan. World of Warplanes' open beta testing started on July 2, 2013.
