Emirates NBD offers 3 new personal loans
Emirates NBD, a leading bank in the region, announced on Saturday launch of three new variants of its personal loan offering to customers.
The first variant is the Non-Salary Transfer loan, where the bank does not require the borrower to have their salary transferred to Emirates NBD, and can instead make monthly repayments through the issuance of post-dated cheques. This option also removes the requirement for borrowers to be employed by a company that is registered on the banks approved list of employers.
The second option is the Salary Transfer personal loan, where customers who do have their salary transferred to the bank are also not required to be employed by a company that is registered on the banks approved list of employers. Instead, the customer must be able to demonstrate a good account history for a minimum of six months.
The third variant is the Loan for Bankers, which allows employees of banks to avail of a personal loan without a requirement for their salaries to be transferred to Emirates NBD. Once again, monthly repayments can be made through post-dated cheques.
Retail loans remain a key area for Emirates NBD as we continue to focus on meeting the evolving needs of our customers, said Shekhar Krishnamurthy, Head – Retail Assets and Liabilities, Emirates NBD.
Our personal loan book accounts for almost 50 per cent of Emirates NBDs total retail asset book. With these new variants we aim to enter new segments in order to increase business and book size through 2012.
In the UAE, most banks only offer personal loans on the condition that customers salaries are transferred to the same bank. Emirates NBD is one of very few finance companies to offer non-salary transfer loans.
These new loan variants were developed in response to market demand, continued Krishnamurthy. We recognise that loan requirements do not always correspond with customers personal circumstances. We also
believe that this should not prevent customers from availing of a personal loan, providing they can show that their finances are healthy.
A personal loan can be a very useful financial tool, especially in times when a little extra help is needed to manage monthly budgets.
Typically, people use a personal loan to help finance home renovations, holidays, childrens education, weddings or simply to purchase new home appliances.
The new loan variants from Emirates NBD are available to all salaried UAE nationals and expatriates, require minimal paper work and can be repaid over a fixed period of time.

Can drive up to six monitors at a time. Delivers good single-monitor gaming performance. 2GB of frame buffer increases performance at highest resolutions.
Mini DisplayPort jacks will require adapters (and possibly expensive ones) for almost all users. Setup of multiple large monitors can be cumbersome, and will be time- and space-consuming. Playable frame rates only possible with multiple displays at reduced detail levels.
Bottom Line
If you've ever dreamed of having a wall of monitors of your very own, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 Edition video card can make it a reality. But setting everything up won't necessarily be easy or cheap, and the performance may not live up to your expectations.
Hooking up more than one monitor to your computer is not a new idea, whether for office workers needing one screen for e-mail and one for everything else or for gamers who don't want to leave the action to do something more trivial. More displays than that haven't been common, however, due to both the logistics and the expense. But that may soon change thanks to a new AMD video card that doesn't just allow but encourages complex, even foolhardy, multimonitor setups: the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 Edition.
The name tells you everything you need to know about this card. It costs a bit more than the standard 5870 ($479 list, as opposed to $399), but it's based on the same hardware as that next-to-top-of-the-line model with which AMD inaugurated its 5000-series of video cards last year. It supports AMD's easy-to-use multiple-display technology, Eyefinity, which the company unveiled at the same time. And, perhaps most notably, it can drive up to six monitors at a time. Yes, all by itself: a single, dual-slot card. If you've ever wanted to set up a literal wall of monitors, whether for playing a game on the biggest of big screens or for the ultimate in organizing your desktop and app windows, the 5870 Eyefinity6 Edition may be your best bet yet.

Story highlights
- The U.N. secretary-general will visit Myanmar later this week
- The European Union suspends most sanctions against Myanmar
- Expert says the easing of sanctions will not have an immediate impact
- Suu Kyi and other members of her party want changes to the parliamentary oath of office
Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other members of her party are delaying their parliamentary debut Monday as they seek to resolve a problem concerning the wording of the oath that lawmakers have to take.
Meanwhile, the European Union suspended most of the sanctions it had imposed on the country, citing the "transparent and credible" election that brought Suu Kyi to office and other reforms.
Suu Kyi and 42 other candidates from her party, the National League for Democracy, won seats in by-elections on April 1, a result welcomed by the United States and Britain as a sign of progress toward democracy in Myanmar after decades of repressive military rule.
After the elections, Suu Kyi and other newly elected opposition members were invited to attend the session of parliament this week in the capital, Naypidaw.
But they have requested that the wording of the swearing-in oath that lawmakers have to take be changed. The National League for Democracy asked the authorities to adjust the wording of the oath to say that parliamentarians will "abide by" the constitution rather than "protect" it.
"We want to change that constitution because it's not a democratic constitution," Ohn Kyaing, a spokesman for the party, said Sunday.
The constitution currently assigns 25% of parliamentary seats to unelected members of the military establishment.
Tin Oo, a senior party official, said that he believed the parliament would consider the issue Monday and that it could be decided upon this week.
The tension over the oath is the first sign of contention between the opposition and the reformist government of President Thein Sein since the by-elections.
Tin Oo said Thein Sein, who was visiting Japan over the weekend, had agreed before the elections to amend the oath.
"Whether Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi enters parliament or not is her decision," the president said Monday. "She has to decide it. The parliament is all in favor of her entrance and very welcoming of her."
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Monday he will depart at the end of the week to visit the reclusive nation.
"Myanmar is only at the beginning of its transition," Ban told reporters. "Many challenges lie ahead. Many concerns have yet to be addressed. Yet I am convinced that we have an unprecedented opportunity to help the country advance toward a better future. That is why, today, I am announcing that I have accepted an invitation from President Thein Sein to visit Myanmar."
Ban has visited Myanmar twice before, in 2008 and 2009.
He said he looks forward to "personally congratulating" Sein and Suu Kyi on this trip. "Working together, they have come far," he said. "Working together, I am confident that they will go further still. And together, we will explore the many tangible and practical ways in which the U.N. can help."
The decision by the European Union to suspend most of its sanctions against Myanmar came Monday at the foreign ministers' meeting in Luxembourg. Only a ban on arms exports continues, according to the EU.
EU sanctions against Myanmar, first imposed in 1996, have included limits on diplomatic contacts and non-humanitarian aid and development programs, a freeze on the offshore accounts of Myanmar officials and visa restrictions.
Still, an expert stressed it will take time for the easing of sanctions to have any impact on those on the ground, living hand to mouth.
"On the day-to-day basis, nothing will change for the average person on the streets. These things take time. Manufacturing investment is what will drive this country forward," said Tony Picon, associate director at Colliers International, a real estate company.
One such person who might not feel change anytime soon is Ko Tin Lwin. He can earn up to $2 a day, or he can earn nothing, depending on whether he can find work when he shows up each day at the bustling Yangon port.
Lwin is one of hundreds of day laborers who carry cargo from docked ships to waiting trucks in Myanmar.
"I send 1,000 kyat ($1.20) a day back to my family in the countryside," Lwin said while waiting for another ship to arrive. "It only covers their food, nothing more, and I have to worry for tomorrow."
Myanmar's authoritarian military rulers have begun loosening their grip on power after decades in which dissent was stifled and freedoms severely limited.
In the past 12 months, the government has pardoned hundreds of political prisoners, secured a cease-fire with Karen rebels and agreed to negotiate with other ethnic rebel groups.
Myanmar's leaders have come a long way, but more work must be done, the EU said in the statement Monday. Relaxing sanctions are designed to encourage the country to continue, the organization said.
"These reforms will need time to implement and to bear fruit. The foundation for development is legitimate government, the rule of law and national reconciliation," the statement said. "The EU praises the peaceful nature of the process and the readiness of the parties to work towards the same goals, with a shared vision for political, social and economic reforms."
Western governments have applauded this month's by-elections and the other recent reforms by Thein Sein's government. The U.S. and Australian governments eased some sanctions on Myanmar last week.
While control of parliament will not change despite the opposition's strong performance, the result nonetheless gives the National League for Democracy a notable presence.
Myanmar's legislature has 664 seats, more than 80% of which are still held by lawmakers aligned with the military-backed ruling party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party.
Suu Kyi led her party to a landslide victory the previous time Myanmar held multiparty elections, in 1990. But the junta ignored the results and kept her under house arrest.
Released in November 2010, Suu Kyi was allowed to crisscross the country to rally support for her party in the elections.

What is the Rapha Journey?
Our ministry seeks to equip people with both hope and faith. Hope is something we all need, regardless of whether we have an allegiance to Christ. We believe that everyone needs to embark on a journey into greater wholeness. This is a process whereby we are made whole, being stitched together from our fragmented lives. This can include a deepening relationship with Christ, journeying toward Christian maturity, and/or the healing of emotional damage. It can be done with Christ, or alone. In our work this change and its journey has come to be known as the 'Rapha Journey'. Rapha is the Hebrew word for 'becoming more whole'.

Located in the southern part of Shiga prefecture and the western part of Shigaraki town, Asamiya is a hilly, rural region on the Shigaraki plateau (altitude 400 meters). The temperature change between night and day is drastic in this region creating a climate where mist forms frequently -- an ideal climate for cultivating tea leaves.
In addition, a east-west band about 1 kilometer wide has been confirmed to contain nutrient-rich sediment from Lake Biwa when it was larger in ancient times. The soil is a multi-million-year gift from nature to the tea farmers with whom we work.
There is little wonder then why Asamiya is considered one of the five great ancient tea regions of Japan (the others being Sayama in Saitama, Uji in Kyoto, Shizuoka, and Yamato from Nara).
Asamiya has approximately 60 farmers farming on 120 hectares, and primarily use Yabukita cultivars. However, benifuki, okumidori, saemidori, sayama kaori, sayama midori, okuhikari, and asatsuyu are also cultivars farmed in this region.
The history of tea from Asamiya, or 'Asamiyacha', is a long one dating back 1200 years to 805 AD when buddhist monk Saichō (known posthumously as Dengyō Daishi) brought seeds back from China and planted them in the mountains of Mount Hiei in Shiga Prefecture. In The Chronicles of Japan (Nihon Shoki, 720 AD) and the Ruijū Kokushi (892 AD), there is an account of how the monk Eichu prepared and served tea to the Emperor Saga on the occasion of the Emperor's royal visit to Ōmi (present day Shiga Prefecture) in the year 815, and, in the same year, tea was planted in Kinai, Ōmi, Tamba, and Harima and presented to the Emperor. It is generally said that the origin of Asamiya tea is the tea planted in the Iwatani-san area at this time. This predates by about 400 years the origins of tea in Uji and Shizuoka when Eisai, founder of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism, brought tea seeds back from China.
"Do the tea-pickers also/hidden in the bushes/hear the cuckoo?" is a poem by the haiku master, Matsuo Bashō. The subject is undoubtedly an Asamiya tea field. On his way to Ōtsu in Ōmi at the age of 51, Basho heard the call of the cuckoo announcing the arrival of spring. Although he could not see the cuckoo, its voice carried over the garden of tea buds. Bashō spent his life traveling, but Iga (present day Iga City, Mie Prefecture) was the land of his birth. Also, he dearly loved Ōtsu (Shiga Prefecture), and his grave is there. He had distant relatives at Asamiya, on the journey between Otsu and Iga and there was an inn on the highway. Below the stone path at Iwatani-san Senzen-ji Temple in Kamiasamiya, along with a memorial stone marking the origin of Asamiya tea, a monument to Bashō has been erected.

There is no doubt that disaster can strike at any time, but unfortunately there is no one, uniform type of disaster. On any day, at any time, you could fall victim to a natural disaster, war/invasion, or just about any other terrible thing that you could think of. Being prepared for that disaster is something you can do that separates you from a large majority of the rest of the population. While it goes without saying that you will need ample food, water, and shelter should a disaster strike, what if I said that gold should be added to that list?
Confirmation bias negatively impacts human thinking on both sides of the sound money debate. If nothing else, I hope I have conveyed through my past articles that I'm a believer in sound monetary principals and a strong advocate of precious metals for personal and financial survival during the upcoming storm. I hold that for those on the other side of the aisle, Keynesians who have placed their faith in the folly of fiat currency and widely accepted investing options during this period (stocks and bonds), will be economically ruined over the next few years. I believe that one can even prosper during and after the impending upheaval if well positioned financially with physical specie and perhaps some well chosen mining and oil stocks. But it is also instructive to recognize the mistakes being made by those who share similar views so I and my readers do not commit the same errors. After all, it would be tragic on a personal level to have been so right in predicting and preparing for financial calamity but still to have lost out because of some overlooked assumption or nuance - right church wrong pew, so to speak.
The complexities and risk built into the Modern World have increased its fragility and the likelihood of an unpredictable extreme event, or Black Swan. In his masterful book of the same title, Nassim Taleb labels this age as one of "Extremistan" where severe, wild outcomes are the norm. These events can be political, economic, or militaristic and like ripples on a pond, they spread across the globe with effects that can last for years. The collapse of the hedge fund management firm Long Term Capital Management (LTCM) in 1998 due to the Russian Bond Crises and the attacks of 9-11 are two such events. Both were largely beyond the imaginations (let alone predictably) of those who cared and the result of poor risk assessment. The nature of this new reality means that predicting status quo over a reasonable time is less likely than the occurrence of an extreme event due to fragility built into the System. In other words, one would perform better by making multiple calculated "extreme" predictions than forecasting "business as usual." While, the strong majority of these outliers will not fruition, a twenty to thirty percent rate would be a success.
Explanations for the results of the recent U.S. Presidential Elections abound: improper messaging on the part of the Romney ticket, a lack of inclusiveness on the part of the Republican Party, simple tribalism as a result of changing demographics, a belief in Santa Claus, or a combination thereof. A French philosopher once observed that "Nations get the Governments they deserve" and the history of the Western World since the end of the Second World War has been for Nations to elect Governments that allow people to enjoy lifestyles they are unwilling to fully work for. There have been, of course, exceptions, particularly in the U.S. which might have slowed the trends, but broadly speaking, these are mere bumps on the road which neither changed nor altered the greater trends towards increasing the size of the welfare state, and by extension, their corresponding Governments. The recent election represents the popular approval of the growth of entitlements, or as some have more colorfully labeled it: "Santa Claus".
Often, when one party expresses an opinion in favor of the benefits of acquiring gold, the opposing side will express disapproval with the glib retort: "You can't eat gold." Intended to convey a practical perspective, this flippant response betrays a breathtaking level of historic economic ignorance, and I would argue, a poor ability to quantify future risk vis-à-vis the coming financial collapse and ensuing struggles.
The problem is simple to identify: a politician's primary purpose in life is not to represent his constituents or pass laws or social engineer (though he does these things to various degrees), but rather, it is to get re-elected and augment his power. Barring the occasional exception which does not disprove the rule, this is a universal truth even in our formerly Constitutional-revering Republic. When viewed through this lens, the long and gradual process perverting the American system of Government and property rights becomes clear.
The unseen glue which holds the credit system and the Western World together is trust. We take it for granted and do not consider how it affects every aspect of our lives. What has traditionally separated the West (particularly the English-speaking World) from the Third World is the strength of contract law and the general faith that there will be enforcement of penalties meted out through judicial process to those who break their bond. This trust has been eroding more recently at a rate which is becoming more apparent even to the non-observer.
While many visiting this site and in the broader "Prepper" realm have differing views of what the degree and final make-up of the struggles ahead will resemble when TSHTF, my personal interactions with fellow like minded individuals have indicated that most see this in some way stemming from some variety of economic collapse. I could not agree more.
If you want to have silver for prepping purposes, I would concentrate on purchasing junk silver. Some preppers believe that if the dollar were to collapse, junk silver coins would provide an alternative to paper money. Before you get into purchasing silver, first you need to understand what junk silver is, and how much it is worth. Additionally, you must also understand that the price of junk silver changes every day, as it fluctuates with the price of silver.

"To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him." -Buddha
"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." -Mahatma Gandhi
"Change your thoughts, and you change your world." -Norman Vincent Peale
To begin to live the life we've always dreamed of, we must first change our thinking. If there's anything about your life that you're not happy with, good news! All it takes is a shift in your thoughts to begin to change it. So many of us, however, believe that if we just keep doing what we're doing, eventually something will change and life will just "get better" because we want it to.
"Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." -Albert Einstein
Or, to paraphrase another quote, when we think what we've always thought, we'll get what we've always got.
Our minds run rampant with thoughts, and until we begin the process of controlling our thinking, we're left at their mercy. The first step in controlling our thoughts is to notice what we're thinking. Until we can step aside and be the observer of our thoughts instead of actively caught up in thinking them, we can't begin to control them.
Our minds like to operate in 'stealth mode' making us forget that there is a thinker behind the thoughts, a thinker who can choose which thoughts to think!
1. Pay attention to every thought and feeling that doesn't feel good. For me, in the beginning, this was a lot of thoughts. I lived in a lot of mental pain, but I was determined to turn it around. Don't stress about how long this will take or how many thoughts don't feel good, just begin slowly and notice the ones that make you feel uncomfortable, less-than, defeated, angry, jealous, fearful, etc.
Note: Simply noticing the thoughts is a great leap on the road to Nirvana, since you're separating yourself from them in a powerful way.
2. Don't judge your thoughts. Our thoughts are not personal, they're merely following the patterns of what we've allowed ourselves to think before. Having bad thoughts doesn't make us bad people. We are not "more inclined" to have bad thoughts than anyone else. We merely have patterns of allowing the thoughts or rejecting them. The more we allow them, the more those negative thoughts will come to us. The more often we think positive thoughts, the more positive thoughts will come, and the less frequent negative ones will be able to "make purchase" and settle in. This is a process, and we must consciously choose to think better thoughts before better thoughts will come to us- but don't judge. Just notice.
"If thoughts or ideas are not really 'mine, then whence do they arise and who is their author? Actually, they don't have a 'who' of origin at all but instead merely arise from a 'what'. The content of calibratable field of consciousness is like a thought bank regimented by a specific energy field of a level of the collective consciousness of mankind. Similar thoughts, concepts, and ideas congregate at various levels and are orchestrated under the influence of the attention of the central 'attractor field' that, like gravity, attracts ideas of similar gravity or density." -David Hawkins PhD
3. Practice self-compassion. Merely observing a negative thought is an incredible advancement in consciousness. If you then berate yourself for thinking it, or being stuck in a negative thought pattern, you're taking yourself back into the spiral of negativity.
Honor yourself for doing this work. Honor yourself for being brave enough to watch your negative thoughts. Honor yourself for beginning to change what you're thinking and cultivate positivity. Honor yourself for becoming the person you want to be, one thought at a time!
4. Ask yourself, "Is this thought necessary? What can I think that's better?" I love asking these questions because they immediately stop my negative thoughts in their tracks. I go from "Yikes, this is so bad, I wonder what I'm going to do about this?" to "Wow, what can I love about this situation? What's the best possible thing that can come from this?" which is way more fun.
Anytime I'm tempted to think a negative thought, I a) notice that it doesn't feel good, b) honor myself for catching it, and c) ask myself, "What can I think about that I love? What can I think about that makes me feel good? Those negative thoughts no longer have a place- the "thinker behind the thoughts" is too occupied creating the life she loves and wants to pay attention to those negative thoughts that hold her back.
"All truly wise thoughts have been thoughts already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience." -Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
"Let the wise guard their thoughts, which are difficult to perceive, extremely subtle, and wander at will. Thought which is well guarded is the bearer of happiness." -Buddha
In my next post, I'll talk about turning around the old thoughts and beliefs that seem to come back again and again, and have a lot of emotion attached to them.

As an aside:
Why is it that we can take a photograph of a single license plate--traveling at highway speeds--from a satellite 22,750 miles above the earth, but most banks' security camera shots I see (in print or on TV) seem to be taken from a smudged 1.3 megapixel black and white cell phone camera? Why would you have to wear a mask?

I thought the latest security camera shot looked great:
The cameras were good enough, plus one of them was recognized....both arrested.
Those fellas look like nice young men. I bet if their mommas were interviewed they would say they were trying to get their lives together and were thinking about going to medical school.

Obviously the next move for the banks is to post signs that state each bank branch is a "robbery free zone". LOL! That oughta fix the problem.

I have to say, those are definitely the best "this person robbed a bank" photos I have ever seen.

I agree. I guess things are getting better.

Before going to my bank I always shave, comb my hair and brush my teeth. I want to look good on camera. Ha!
As to banks and security cameras, its all about the money. They just won't spend what it takes to get a top shelf system.
There is little to no prevention - you rarely see an armed guard anymore except in very high crime areas. Most banks have dye packs. Some are now adding hidden GPS units in special money packs.
If they were honest they would also say that they dont really care if a robber is apprehended or not. If CSR's follow bank policy, about the amount of money they can allow to build up in their drawer and to never resist, there isn't much money to be had in the typical, one guy, one gun robbery, They are insured, as required by Federal law (FDIC). So its really a matter of getting the perpetrator out the door without hurting anyone and with a minimal amount of money that the banks have already figured into their overhead costs.
The banks and the perpetators both know the steps to the dance.
Besides they can spend that money on buying naming rights and advertising.

Beaverton, OR—Nike reported Tuesday that its second quarter profit rose 2.6% as demand for its sport and athletic footwear, apparel and accessories increased globally.
For the quarter ended Nov. 30, Nike posted net income of $469 million, or $1 a share, compared with $457 million, or 94 cents a year ago. That was better than analysts' average expectation for earnings of 97 cents. Nike's profit has surpassed projections in 21 out of 22 quarters.
Net revenue rose 18% to $5.7 billion, up from $4.8 billion during the same quarter last year.
Early 2012 Orders Up 13%
Nike said sales grew in every region of the world except Japan. In North America, its largest market, sales rose 21% to, led by sales of running shoes. Revenue from China increased 28% to $650 million.
"Our strong second quarter results demonstrate that the Nike Inc. portfolio is a powerful engine for growth," Nike's CEO Mark Parker said.
Moreover, the company said future orders, which would be delivered from December through April 2012 were up 13% from a year ago to $8.9 billion.
But as the company discounted more merchandise than expected, its gross margin edged down to 42.7%, 260 basis points worse than the prior-year quarter. Nike said it expects gross margin to narrow further, probably 1.5 percentage points in its third quarter.
"There's a lot of companies that are facing the same problem, it's industry wide," said Matt Arnold, an analyst Edward Jones & Co. in Des Peres. But that "would be more of a concern if Nike weren't growing sales and hadn't scheduled more price increases for early next year."
Nike repurchased more shares than expected and that may have helped them beat analyst projections, according to Chris Svezia, analyst for Susquehanna Financial Group.

If you're trying to convince people that insults are bad, doing so in a style that involves spewing diverse insults at a variety of people is not going to be effective. If insulting is bad, why are you doing it so much?

While we're rounding out 2013 with some year end posts, I wanted to sneak in one more before I forgot. I know that everyone loves Kevin and all that he's done for BlackBerry and CrackBerry -- myself included. But I wanted to take a minute to reflect on some of the dumb $hit that he's done over the last 12 months that certainly shouldn't be forgotten. Sure he's smart, dedicated and at times funny, but he can also be a flaming idiot.
Just to quickly recap, it seems like the dumbness has only gotten worse over the years. In 2011 when left unattended, Kevin bought a $500 clock app for his BlackBerry. Dumb.
The dumbest moves from 2012:
- Made that stupid Sexy and I Know It video
- Ate a whole damn onion for Movember
- Decided to let his mop grow out until BB10 arrived (which got pretty out of control)
And let's reflect on 2013:
- Got his hair cut on stage in front of thousands of people live (and millions more on TV). CNBC aired it live. He even made the Economist
- The drunken Q10 drop test. Even though it wasn't actually a real drop test, the fact that he made it into one was annoying and dumb.
- Started a Sexy Guys in Yoga Shorts BBM Channel, posting only images of himself (little secret, he's really not flexible and sucks at yoga)
- Yelled out PHON.ES! incessantly during conversations, at least three times a day
- Kevin happened to be Miami during the iPhone 5s launch, so Rene from our sister site iMore tasked him with buying a phone. That said, he never told him to do what he ended up doing to get the gold one --- paying $1500!
- Split his personalities into horcruxes.. starting first with his alter ego Cage Michaels (who is in alpha until he's officially unveiled later in 2014)
In all honestly, Kevin
is a great isn't a bad boss. We really do love him and for the most part he does more good than dumb. Then again, CES is right around the corner.

Call (888) 651-9785
This was a very enjoyable day. The river cruise was so peaceful and lunch was excellent. Our tour guide, Lam, was just perfect - she knew so much about the area and its history. We highly recommend her.
This was one of the highlights of a two week trip to Vietnam. Our guide, Dao, was perfect in every way. She was well spoken and easy to understand. She was informative throughout the trip.
This trip was the highlight of our stay in HCMC. Our guide Lam was a lovely and very interesting lady which made the day fun. The private tour suit our family as Lam could cater to our personal needs and she did that very well. We were very comfortable throughout the trip whether is in the long car drive or on the boat .
We had a fantastic day. Our tour guide was a fun loving lady called Lan. She was hugely informative, very good English, great sense of humour and made our trip really memorable
Brilliant tour. The guide was really good, having a private tour was amazing, we stopped for lunch at a terrific restaurant on the river and the food was unbelievable.
Would highly recommend
Great full day out with excellent tour guide the highlight was how peaceful it was on the rowing boat away from the hustle and bustle
Daryl M South Africa
Stunning and a wonderful day. Thank you so very much Viator for everything!!!
Excellent trip. Tin the guide spoke excellent English and was really informative. He couldn't do enough for us. Lunch was really enjoyable. The whole trip was fantastic.
We had a wonderful time on this trip. The candy was delicious!
Excellent guide and excellent tour
excellent guide; wonderful day trip
the only miscue was that Viator miscommunicated/did not verify with the local tour guide the proper number of participants; nothing that several cell phone calls couldnt solve.
This particular tour was the highlight of our 7 day stay in Saigon. There was only 4 of us on this tour and we had the most amazing guide for the day, [ Thomas, who treated us like family]. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in our air condition mini bus and headed off towards the Mekong. The floating markets, seeing the local confectionary being made, [and sampling it of course], tasting the snake wine, the 5 mile trip across the Mekong to the island where we had a fabulous Vietnamese lunch and a few beers, and our sampan experience along a small canal all made for a truly enjoyable day, and an insight into the Vietnamese culture. The tour lasted approximately 10 hours but can be longer depending on the tides on the river and the traffic back. A very well priced tour for a great day out.
Excellent! Our guide and driver were faultless!!
Brilliant. The 3 of us were the only people on the tour = private. Great guide, spoke English very well and was very knowledged in his tour, country and anything else we wanted to know. Very interesting places visited. Mekong was brilliant, peaceful, beautiful. Highly recommend
Adele.p United Kingdom
This tour was one of the highlights of the trip. Ann our guide was superb and gave us a thorough insight into Vietnamese life. We would highly recommend this tour if you are staying in Ho Chi Minh city and would not hesitate to use Viator again wherever they provide a service. 1st class thank you!
Another great tour. The boat tour was very interesting with different stops on the way.
Tour guide, transportation and driver all top class. The tour of the Mekong River was fascinating and very enjoyable. The luncheon that was served was the BEST ever Vietnamese food I have ever tasted. An absolutely wonderful day!
This tour was one of the highlights of my three country vacation. This tour was outstanding. It provided really great insight into the importance of this river to Vietnam and the lives who live there. I was a little apprehensive as I get motion sickeness easily, but a little dramamine and those wrist bands worked. No problem. The tour guide, drivers (car and boat) were all excellent.
Efficient service, especially as they had such a long wait for us to get through the very slow visa process.
The tour was great and our guide was outstanding. He was very knowledgable and personable and spoke English GREAT.
What a fantastic experience: everything was really well organized and the guide was very good !
Excellent guide, excellent driver, excellent trip. I can strongly recommend it.
Best tour in Ho Chi Minh city. Highly recommended for content, excellent tour guide who spoke perfect English. And the people in the village we went too very friendly . The visits made to the fruit farm and cottage industries very very good...unforgettable experience
My family thoroughly enjoyed the private tour of the Mekong River Cruise. The tour guide was extremely friendly and imformative throughout the whole of the experience and also spoke very good english. The journey from Ho Chi Minh City was fairly long but the car was cool and comfortable which made it easier. On arrival at the Mekong Delta we were guided to our personal boat and were shown the floating market and houses along the river, it was humbling to see how the families lived there. we were given fresh local fruits to eat and coconut milk to drink during te boat ride. We were then taken to an island to meet some locals and see coconut candy, popping rice and other stuff being made the locals were very friendly and didnt mind us taking photographs of the experience we also got to try the different types of candy and drank jasmin tea. The boat then took us to a smaller paddle boat and we were taken down a quieter part of river and on to a local place to eat where we had a feast of 6 courses including delicious elephant ear fish. After lunch our tour guide took us for a walk in the orchard where we were shown all of the wonderful fruits growing. Finally we were taken back to our boat and on to dry land to head back to Ho Chi Minh City. So far this has been the highlight of our trip and we would definately reccomend.
Jason T Philippines
our tour guide is very professional and discuss a lot of things about the mekong river and saigon in general. answers our question very well. and was very felxible to give in to our request,

From Natalie Cilurzo's Russian River Brewing blog this morning:
Consecration will be released on February 2nd on draught and in 750ml bottles at our pub and limited distribution in No. California. Starting that week, we will also distribute bottles and kegs to Southern California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Philadelphia. We can't tell you exactly where it will be, but it will be extremely limited…
Pliny the Younger will also be released on February 2nd on draft only. It will be available at our pub, select accounts in the Bay Area, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Philadelphia. This beer is not bottled but is available for purchase in 1/2 gallon growlers at our pub ONLY. And we do not ship growlers. This beer may only be consumed at our pub, from growlers purchased at our pub, or by the glass at one of our accounts in the aforementioned markets. I had it for breakfast this morning and, oh my goodness, it is quite tasty!
What name does not belong on those distribution lists? Well, it definitely belongs, but which is the most improbable, geographically speaking, and therefore indicative of something far greater than evident to the casual reader.
Don't make me have to tell you.
Just like I really don't have to tell you which is America's Best Beer-Drinking City.
My pal Bill Brand made a valiant effort a few days ago to sustain an argument for San Francisco, which has its own beer week celebration coming up February 6-15 (you will note that they even copies the days of the month), but read through to the end and you'll find that he eventually offers an 0live branch.
Why don't they just call it America's Original Beer-Drinking City as has been proposed somewhere or other and be done with it? Ain't nobody gonna argue with that…plus they will save themselves all the agita of competing with the One and Only.
They do have us beaten on one point: they will be celebrating the (I assume) retirement of that awful Beerapalooza name.

(Paramount Pictures)
Channing Tatum (left) and Marlon Wayans prepare for battle in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." As expected, the film topped the weekend box office, despite not being screened in advance for critics.
Well, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" did pretty much what everyone figured it would do this weekend. The critics who went to see it after the fact (it wasn't screened in advance; maybe you've heard) weren't impressed, and folks went to see it anyway.
Despite middling to poor reviews and months of bad buzz, "G.I. Joe" stormed to an estimated $56.2 million opening weekend. That's a little bit better than expected; movie-biz prognosticators were guessing in the $50 million range.
As for those nasty critics, "G.I. Joe" has a Tomatometer score of 39 this morning, which is a little better than I expected. That may be because since the movie wasn't screened, there was a presumption of awfulness, meaning the bar was set pretty low. So "better than I expected" looks to be the reaction of several critics, too.
Lots of writers seemed to agree with Express-News staffer and "Geek Speak" blogger Rene A. Guzman, who called "G.I. Joe" "big, stupid fun with '80s toys brought to life." He also said it was better than "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." (Find the full review here).
Steve Pearsall of the St. Petersburg Times discovered, much to his surprise, that he sorta liked it. He wrote: "Paramount's decision to withhold 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' from legit critics is more puzzling after catching a Friday morning matinee. This is actually a pretty good action flick, as brawny as Paramount's other Hasbro toy adaptation Michael Bay's 'Transformers' although less frantic, and assembled as a genuine movie rather than a nonsensical fireworks display."
Others had their low expectations met. Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel called it "another brainless popcorn picture built on an awful '80s TV cartoon. It's a Bush-era movie built on a Reagan-era cartoon all exotic hardware and can-do commandos, endless violence with barely a drop of blood the illusion of 'surgical' warfare reduced to a video game."
And even though the 39 score on the Tomatometer doesn't seem too bad at first blush, the four Top Critics whose reviews were rated positive were actually sort of damning with faint praise. That attitude can be summed up by this allegedly positive tout from the Washington Post's Dan Kois: " 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' is as polished and entertaining as war-mongering toy commercials get."

- Artist: Phil Soussan
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 1/3/2006
Phil Soussan, bass player, has worked with many artists including Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Page, Toto, Billy Idol, Vince Neil, John Waite, Steve Lukather, Edgar Winter and Richie Kotzen. During those times he was also active in writing songs for them, most notable, Ozzy's biggest hit single 'SHOT IN THE DARK'. At this time he has released his debut solo CD entitled 'VIBRATE'; a collection of 12 songs written over the last couple of years that he has been recording this since February 2005. Featuring many of the musicians that he has had the pleasure of working with such as Simon Phillips, Gregg Bissonette, Steve Lukather, David Paich, Richie Kotzen and others. The album represents a cross section of the styles that Phil has become known for. Memorable melodies and hook production ideas make this a record of songs that people seem to retain in their heads. 'I chose the title VIBRATE because that is what I would like to describe happening when people hear the record. I hope that the sentiments that I felt when I wrote the songs will resonate the same feelings in the listeners. I would like people to relate to these stories based on my experiences. If that happens then I feel I will have done what I set out to do! When I look to the audience I want to see people react to the songs; they may be affected by them or they may not relate them but I want them to feel something! I think of my music as being provocative in that respect!' In recent years Phil has also carved a reputation for himself in the world of production and mixing and this album was one that was completely recorded and mixed by Phil. Despite the challenge of trying to remain objective it is something that he has become extremely proud of. The cover artwork is in the form of a multi panel Digipack and includes a 12 page booklet of lyrics and is something that Phil remains passionate about. 'I miss album covers, I miss reading through all the notes; most CD covers seem to be so basic these days. We spent a lot of time and effort to make this a wonderful item reminiscent of some of the great albums that I collected and was inspired by.'

The former came out just the best on that occasion but both have something to prove over this longer trip and MEDICI DANCER is preferred.

Gabrial The Thug and Callmeakhab could also figure if producing their best.

Yay! Mind = blown O_o
Grom: Thrall...the blood haze has lifted...the demon's fire has burnt out in my veins...I...have...freed...myself...
Grom dies.
Thrall: No, old friend, you've freed us all.
Thrall roars. Medivh appears.
Medivh: Without Grom and the blood curse, the Horde will start to become melancholic as they realize all the horrible attrocities they have committed. There must always be...a Hellscream.
Medivh disappears.
Thrall: Wait, wasn't the purpose of all this...aw, hell, he's gone.
Thrall picks up Gorehowl, sweating and panting from the strain of lifting such a heavy object.
Thrall: The weight of such a burden...it must be mine. For there is no other in the immediate vicinity who would be able to lift such a weapon...
Bolvar: THRALL! You hold one badass weapon and a grim destiny in your hands, brother-but it is not your own.
Thrall: The hell...
Bolvar: The dragon's flames sealed my fate. The world of the living, and of the Alliance, and of Eastern Kingdoms, can no longer comfort me. Place the axe in my hands, Thrall. Forevermore, I will be the Badass of the Horde.
Thrall: Hell naw!
Bolvar: DO IT, THRALL. You and the brave heroes that are waiting just outside this canyon have your own destinies to fulfill. This last act of service...is mine.
Thrall: Fine...but who the hell are you, anyway? I can't forget to ask one of...
Bolvar: I MUST be forgotten, Thrall! If the Horde is to live free from a fear of pork, they must never know what was done here today.
Thrall sighs, shrugs, and hands Gorehowl over to Bolvar. As soon as Gorehowl touches Bolvar's hands, he begins to turn into an obelisk.
Bolvar: Tell them only that Grom Hellscream and Mannoroth are dead...and that Bolvar Fordragon...is now an honorary orc!
Thrall: I still don't know who the...
Bolvar: Now go! Leave this place! And never return!

NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Celadon Group, Inc. (NYSE:CGI) securities between December 30, 2016 and April 18, 2017 (the "Class Period"). Investors have until June 19, 2017, to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
"CGI has used off-balance sheet entities . . . and manipulative accounting practices to hide its insolvent condition from investors and creditors."
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Celadon's equity contribution to its joint venture with Element Financial Corp. was $68.2 million, not $100 million as the Company reported in its public filings; and (2) Celadon is being actively investigated by the SEC.
On April 5, 2017, a report issued by Prescience Point Research Group charged that "CGI has used off-balance sheet entities . . . and manipulative accounting practices to hide its insolvent condition from investors and creditors." Following this news, Celadon shares fell $0.85 per share, or 14%, to close at $5.40 on April 5, 2017. On April 19, 2017, Prescience Point Research published another report in which it provided correspondence from the SEC indicating that CGI was under investigation. Celadon's share price has decreased over 30% since the publication of the April 5, 2017 report.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired CGI securities during the Class Period or continue to hold shares purchased prior to the Class Period, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker, Esq. by email at email@example.com, or telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.

The preservation wars
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, October 11, 2009
"Sorry, we've reviewed your request to tear down a head shop and are denying your permit. A panel of architects in untucked shirts and spiky hair think the structure is a brilliant evocation of 1960s city life and should be saved."
Fiction, to be sure. But the message of ultra-preservation supplies the ammo for San Francisco's next urban war, one that's equal parts bureaucratic, historical and political. The furor may be the ultimate civic naval-gazer: How much power should City Hall exert in pickling the past?
The fight has brewed for several years. Candidates for historic status now date back 45 years, not just to the Gold Rush days or Victorian era. Preservationist arguments, always an ingredient in land-use decisions, are getting louder in a city with 260 landmarks, 12 historic districts and scores of architectural and planning firms. Just about any building proposal involves knocking down an older one.
The boulder-sized change was Proposition J, approved by voters last year. The measure takes landmark decisions away from the Planning Commission and gives them to a new Historic Preservation Commission, which comes equipped with sweeping powers to block brick-and-mortar changes.
The voter appeal of such a panel isn't hard to see in a densely packed city that closely watches every back-fence change. But putting preservation on a pedestal invites abuse, as this past week illustrates.
The commission's first major action takes aim at another voter-approved idea - major renovations for the city's constellation of branch libraries. The panel set in motion landmark status for five branches built from 1951 to 1966 by the same firm, Appleton and Wolfard. While four have already been updated, a demolition and rebuilding of the fifth, the North Beach branch, will be held up, barring time-consuming appeals.
On one level, it's an architectural debate. Are these branches distinguished works of the recent past - as supporters and commission staff claim - or so-what structures that could stand retooling for present-day library users, as neighborhood critics believe? A special toll for North Beach patrons: Plans for an all-new branch are now in bureaucratic limbo.
The preservation sword is out. The new commission can designate not only single structures but freeze building in surrounding areas in the name of overall effect. Swaths of the South of Market and Mission districts could be locked up in the name of architectural appearance, vastly limiting growth and change in areas experiencing new life.
It wasn't this way before.
Prior to Proposition J, the city had a landmarks board that acted in an advisory capacity, sending its recommendations to the Planning Commission, which could consider other factors in making a final ruling. In most cases, landmark suggestions won out, meaning that a building's exterior should be maintained.
The new panel, though, is a law unto itself, free to confer landmark status alone. Its decisions can be appealed to the Board of Supervisors, where politics as much as civic design and history will be in full play. This final showdown may or may not achieve a balanced result, but it will surely add months and extra costs to the process.
Defenders of the new rules say San Francisco is only following what other major cities have done in giving teeth to preservation protections. But this city comes amply equipped with what one top planner calls the "blood sport" of decision making: long delays, chokepoints and deliberations. The preservation commission is the newest ingredient to a punishing process.
The library designations could be a sobering moment for the infant panel, obliging it to wise up and rein in its powers. It's due to draw up rules and regulations spelling out its duties, a process that has stalled for nearly a year as advocates and critics argue how hard or soft to make the guidelines. In addition, the fury generated by the library issue could badly undercut the commission - and the preservation cause - before it really gets going.
The Chronicle opposed the preservation panel when it was on the ballot because it gave too high a priority to preservation and could be misused to stop worthy projects. These fears now appear to be coming true unless the commission and its backers temper their direction.

No spark, power going in to the distributor but none coming out. The TFI Module on the distributor has been replaced. The coil checks out. Everything in the distributor looks good.
