text: XSL Formatting Objects Tutorial - - Graphics There is a special inline element for including graphics into XSL FO (XSLFO) — <fo:external-graphic>. The source image is specified by the src attribute whose value is a URI. XEP handles HTTP, FTP, data and filesystem resource locators in URIs. An unqualified URI is treated as a path to a file in the local file system; if the path is relative, it is calculated from the location of the source XSL FO (XSLFO) document. Here's an example: <fo:block> This text includes a picture: <fo:external-graphic src="url('smile.gif')"1 content-height="1em"2 content-width="1em"3/> </fo:block> 1 Note the url('…') function-like wrapper around the file name: this is required by the XSL 1.0 Recommendation. (XEP recognizes unwrapped URLs, too). 23 In this example, the height and the width of the image are expressed in units relative to the nominal font size. This is a convenient technique to scale small inlined images proportionally to the text height. If you need a block-level graphic, you should wrap the element in a <fo:block>, like in the example below: <fo:block font-weight="bold" keep-with-next.within-column="always">1 Figure 1: A Smiling Face </fo:block> <fo:block> <fo:external-graphic src="url('smile.gif')" content-height="200%" content-width="200%"/>2 </fo:block> 1 This property "glues" the figure caption to the figure itself. 2 content-width and content-height expressed as percents denote scaling the image from its original (intrinsic) size. It is also possible to create an image directly in the XSL FO (XSLFO), using the embedded SVG feature: <fo:block> Here is the image of a typical roadsign: <fo:instream-foreign-object content-height="1em">1 <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"2 height="100" width="100" viewBox="-50 -50 100 100"> <svg:circle r="50" style="fill:red; stroke:none"/> <svg:rect x="-40" y="-10" width="80" height="20" style="fill:white; stroke:none"/> </svg:svg> </fo:instream-foreign-object> </fo:block> 1 Embedded images can be scaled with the same attributes as external ones. 2 SVG elements reside in a separate namespace that has to be declared; otherwise, SVG images will not be recognized.

Next week on Masterpiece Theatre...NOT Home Fires! What?

Happy Mother's Day!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hope you had a lovely one too!Delete
Mother's Day here in Australia, also, and a Happy Mother's Day to you. I love English TV programmes too, especially Grand Designs. English movies too, now I think about it. How dare they cut off your show mid-season!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Grand Designs, I will have to remember the name of that one, we haven't had it yet in America! Sometimes, we will get a series years after it was shown in England and I will ask my in-laws and they will have to search their memories to tell me if they liked it! :-)Delete
Sad to find out the series was cancelled. I really enjoyed the episodes I was able to view. I think being a mom is all about keeping those Home Fires burning for sure. Happy Mothers Day to you !ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! Notice the sneaky way I put Mother's Day and Home Fires together! HA! Hope you had a great Mother's Day too!Delete
Very sad about this, and Dr. Blake's Mysteries, set in Australia, which we have been enjoying. Why do they cancel shows that are so popular? It's a shame....ReplyDelete
And Happy Mother's Day, Kay!Replies
I liked Dr. Blake's Mysteries too! Loved the Aussie accents!Delete
Happy Mother's Day! We're sad that there is only one season of Agatha Raisin, she was so much fun.ReplyDeleteReplies
I loved Agatha Raisin too!Delete
You give a nice example of how important mother sare.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Emma!Delete
I hate it when that happens to a beloved show! Leaves you hanging!ReplyDeleteReplies
I think that sometimes they know they will get cancelled and give us a bit of an ending, but Home Fires left us with all kinds of loose ends!Delete
Happy Mother's Day Kay!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey! Hope yours was great too!Delete
I was devastated when Home Fires was cancelled!ReplyDeleteReplies
I was almost as shocked as when the bomb exploded on DANGER UXB! (Man, I am showing my age here!)Delete
It's a real shame that Home Fires was cancelled. It sounds like it would have informative and entertaining. Women might not have served in the front lines, but they did more than their fair share of work keeping the home fires burning, and it would have been nice to see them get some recognition.ReplyDeleteReplies
You need to go and read that book "Jambusters"!Delete
Watched a couple of episodes of that here but missed the Prince Charles one which did get good reviews in the papers. Liked the Dr Blake Mysteries. You might like Father Brown if it comes on over there about a crime solving priest in a small village in the Cotswolds.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! I love Father Brown too!Delete
That Prince Charles series, not to my taste but maybe others will like it.
We have two public tv stations, Cleveland and Kent, Ohio and last night one had Home Fires and the other Charles III. I watched Home Fires.ReplyDeleteReplies
You made the right choice! I watched a few minutes of the Charles movie and thought it was dreadful!Delete
Lovely ladies! So sorry about your show.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Lynn! I hope Joan will read this and tell her sister, Doreen!Delete
It was Mother's Day here in Germany, too, but I was still on the road travelling back from Italy.ReplyDelete
Lovely pictures! Joan and Doreen look so alike; those elegant ladies were, I am sure, not much more dashing as young mothers as they are now!
You, Richard and Christopher are such a beautiful family, inside and out.Replies
Yes, those two sisters have always been striking!Delete
And thanks, for your kind words! That photo of us is quite old, as you can tell! :-)
Oh, my, we need to compare notes. I love so many of the Masterpiece mysteries and Masterpiece...some a bit more than others, but I even have got till I enjoy Poirot. I used to could not stand the fake mustache...but once you get into the show, it is good.ReplyDelete
We watch a lot of stuff like that...do you?Replies
I love anything by Agatha Christie, Miss Marple AND Poirot!Delete
I am pitiful really, I watch so many shows from England that I know more English actors than I do American ones!
I must confess, most Americans were crazy about Downton Abbey, but that was not my cup of tea!!
I did love Downton Abbey, but I loved Foyle's War more, and others just as much. The one I could not stand to watch was the other one...can't for the life of me think of it...Selfridges! Everyone loved it but hubby and I could not get into it. I keep thinking I will try it again someday.Delete
I loved Endeavour, and did you watch Bletchley Circle? Oh, and did you watch Ballykissangel back when it was on? It is one of my all time favorites.
And New Tricks...not masterpiece either, but I avoided it for two or three years, same as I did Foyle's War....the title did not appeal to me. And on both I accidentally started watching without realizing what I was watching and had to get Netflix dvd's to watch what I had missed. I need to sit and make a list of all I have watched.
I liked Downton Abbey until the young man died, you know the handsome one that had the baby and then died in the car wreck? Never watched it after that!Delete
I loved Foyle's War! Some of the episodes were filmed in Eastbourne! (That is where my in-laws live!)
I couldn't watch Selfridges either, just didn't care for it.
I also loved Endeavour! Bletchley Circle, I think that was the one where I thought the girls were a bit stuck up, so I didn't watch it! Ballykissangel? I don't think I saw that one.
NEW TRICKS! I love that show! One of the big reasons, it shows a lot of London in the background...it has made me do research on a lot of things that I notice behind the characters as they are on the streets there!
Also, my friend Nan, at Letters From A Hill Farm, is a big fan of all things British, you should look at her blog! :-)
The Last Detective, George Gently, ...I have so many shows that I have enjoyed recently! (Richard got some DVDS from the library for me!) Murder City was another British show I liked!
I have not seen Murder City. Have you watched Wallander? Not sure if that is spelled right. There is one that is not English...I have only watched one or two of it, but have watched the others. You are the first person I have heard, other than Roger and I, that did not like Selfridges.Delete
Oh, did you watch Land Girls? And I love Inspector Lewis. I don't know if you have read enough in either blog to realize my husband had a brain bleed last August, he was in the hospital from Aug 2 to Aug 19 and then in acute rehab till Sept 9(?) Anyway, the last shows came on then and we had always watched them...and I did watch them when I came home at night, but just cried. They were like old friends...and that is really how I feel about New Tricks. I have not watched very many with so many of the original cast gone...
Oh and have you watched Scott & Bailey?
Love Masterpiece and the BBC productions. I have watched so many of them. It really gripes me that they cancelled Home Fires without having a real finale.ReplyDelete

Who's the better NBA prospect: Aaron or Andrew?
Twin brothers Aaron and Andrew Harrison only spent two seasons together at the University of Kentucky, but together, the duo delivered some of the most memorable moments in recent program history.
It was Aaron who sank back-to-back daggers into the backs of Michigan and Wisconsin in route to UK's improbably run to the 2014 national championship game as a No. 8 seed.
It was Andrew, as mercurial as he was during the regular season, who called for the ball and hit the game-wininng foul shots against Notre Dame in the Elite Eight this year to save, for at least one more game, Kentucky's perfect season.
Both brothers came to Lexington with high praise. Both experienced ups and downs. And both will be remembered for years to come.
Now, along with their five other teammates, it's time for the Harrison twins to make the jump to the big leagues — the NBA.
But who's the better pro prospect? What does each need to improve in order to succeed at the next level?
The KSTV crew caught up with the basketball brothers during an autograph session yesterday, asked how they're preparing to make the leap, and discussed the pending future.

The Sound of Music
The Martin Beck Theatre 5/22/99
Review by John Kenrick
Forgive me, oh mighty gods of the theatre, for I have sinned! I allowed the critics to talk me out of seeing something! I know it was a stupid thing to do, but I did it and I'm sorry and I swear if you forgive me that I'll never, ever do it anymore. (Oh dear, I'm slipping into Goodtime Charley!)
My mother was in town for the weekend with her heart set on seeing Richard Chamberlain in The Sound of Music. Now I have nothing against Mr. Chamberlain, a fine actor (whom I have always found easy on the eyes). However, critics and word of mouth had been overwhelmingly negative about this production, so I was less than enthusiastic about seeing yet another Sound of Music. After all, I've seen more than a dozen productions over the years, from high schools to national tours what more was left to be done with this show?
To my surprise, the current Sound of Music cast is not only good it's sensational! One of the best things I've seen in years! (No, I am NOT kidding!) Whatever shortcomings the original cast of this revival had have been gloriously repaired. Richard Chamberlain is perfect as Captain Von Trapp, a role that fits so well it might have been written for him. Aside from a commanding stage presence, he has a fine singing voice and a deft way with a showtune. He is as dashing and attractive as ever, and his love scene with Maria had the audience glowing. How refreshing to see a star deliver the goods, giving an audience all it had hoped for and more.
There's been a lot of talk about the young lady currently playing Maria, but since she was out the night I saw the show I cannot confirm that talk. However, her standby was Meg Tolin, a very talented actress who I've had the pleasure of seeing in the replacement casts of Showboat and Grand Hotel. She was the perfect Maria feisty, vulnerable and vocally gifted. Her chemistry with the children was so warm and convincing that I almost envied them! I hope to catch this production again soon, and I will probably be the only person in the audience who will not mind the least if the lead is out sick!
(Please note: I went back the following week and saw Laura Benanti as Maria she was sensational, with a glorious voice and a thoroughly disarming stage presence. She is the kind of performer Broadway once prayed for talented and beautiful too. If asked to pick between the two, no question: I would insist on seeing both again!)
Jeanne Lehman was perfect as Mother Abbess, and her rendition of "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" left the audience cheering. The kids are usually a problem in The Sound of Music, but this bunch was a delight. They were believable instead of saccharine, and each of their numbers drew a tremendous ovation. "Do Re Mi" literally stopped the show! The standout was Tracy Alison Walsh as a hilariously no-nonsense Brigitta. Jan Sullivan was a refreshingly sympathetic Frau Shraeder, and veteran Danny Wolpe (a longtime favorite of mine) was a suave and loveable Uncle Max. Special note: after the seemingly endless re-hashes of Nunsense, its great to see nuns depicted with their humanity, dignity and humor intact.
Director Susan Shulman (The Secret Garden) deserves a lot of credit for avoiding the sweetness that plagues most productions of this show. She brought a fresh perspective to the material while keeping its creators intentions in mind. The physical production is sumptuous but never overdone, painting a series of lush stage pictures with a minimum of fuss. (Some set-happy Brits could learn a thing or two from this production!) The much-loved score is handled beautifully, from the solos to the choral singing of the nuns.
Yes, it still is a thrill to hear these wonderful songs, and I was very pleased that this production occasionally evoked the vocal arrangements of the real Von Trapp Family Singers a warm, Tyrolean harmony that the original production and film barely hinted at. The Sound of Music has never looked or sounded better, and I think it is safe to say that Rodgers and Hammerstein would have been delighted with this revival.
There is a special, soul-deep satisfaction I get from seeing a classic Broadway musical performed well, and it has been quite a while since I last had that feeling. The 90s revivals of Gypsy and Guys and Dolls gave me that feeling this Sound of Music did too. I walked in a skeptic and wound up on my feet cheering with the rest of the audience. My mom had such a ball that she actually went into the street singing something she has never done before! She turned into a theatre buff right before my unbelieving eyes!
If you want to see a great musical at its best, or if you want to understand what people like me are talking about when we say today's mega-musicals are missing something important called "heart," give yourself the genuine pleasure of seeing the current Sound of Music. And don't be surprised if Im sitting next to you!

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Fearful (08/23/07)
TITLE: No Fear-Knot
By Linda Germain
The answer to why many of the things with a reputation for scaring some folks, but do not make a blip on my emotional screen, may lie in a grandmother's total matter-of-fact acceptance that faith and fear cannot exist in the same place at the same time. The armor of her unwavering trust and assurance in God's word must have extended to me from example and shielded me from the trauma of childhood anxieties.
She was a prayer warrior, a woman who asked the Lord's protection on every succeeding generation in her family. That's the only thing that accounts for the relative safety I enjoyed in the years I opted to walk without a nod in God's direction.
Everything seemed to be going pretty well without a relationship with Him on a daily basis, so I embraced a healthy young woman's independent stance and sailed on with that worldly confidence borne of spiritual ignorance. A sudden and dramatic detour sent my smooth trip through life in a whole new direction; one for which I had no map and no idea how to carry on.
One day I was brimming with energy and in love with my job and future; the next, I was lethargic and barely able to get through an eight-hour shift at work. I remember lying on a faux leather sofa in the pretty furnished basement apartment I rented and moaning with fever and head-to-toe pain.
My dear aunt and uncle very tenderly led me to their car and drove me to the hospital for surgery to diagnose a chronic disease known to wrap a person in fatigue and extreme muscle/joint discomfort. Still, nothing about that made me fearful. Even after the doctor told me there was a problem and it had a name, it never occurred to me to ask, "Why me?" Why not me?
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
While resting in my private hospital room, recuperating from the diagnostic invasion, I spent a long time watching a little bird work diligently to build a nest in the eaves. She flew back and forth countless times getting ready for her purpose. I wondered how she knew what to do to fulfill that destiny.
Like a quiet breeze flowing over a calm ocean, the idea that I needed guidance even more than she washed over me ever so gently. With no flash of insight written in the sky, it was if I simply stepped back from the helm of my compromised lifeboat and said, "You steer, Lord. I'm taking a nap." Fear was not present.
I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears (Psalm 34:4)
Through the years of having a family, and then one day not having one, to financial, physical, and emotional hardships I had never envisioned, my trip through stormy waters has kept me holding on tight and remembering not to mutiny the Lord's ship. He paddles. I bail water, repair sails, fish, take orders from the Captain of my soul, and believe, without a doubt, I will land safely on the other side.
Evil principalities of the air do not put fear in me; nor angry misguided humans, nor wild animals, not even swarms of bees. Thank you Lord!
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1)
Though very few earthly situations make me fearful, there is a spiritual knot of fear in my heart for those who do not understand how the Creator of the universe has anything to do with them. Am I trying the best I can to be accountable and tell them there is life after bodily death?
Paul gives us strength to fulfill that Great Commission from a place where fear cannot reside:
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confidence and hope through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).
…and we will fear not!

DAY 13 – Favorite Era visited by The Doctor & Co.
This is a difficult one to answer! Is the meme asking about my favorite EARTH era that The Doctor has visited? Also, which timeline are we talking about?
Such a temporal/species-centric question! 🙂
For the sake of simplicity, I'll stick to Earth history…
The Far Future
I'm more intrigued by the future than I am by the past, and what sealed the deal for me as far as being a Whovian was the second episode of New Who, "The End of the World," where we get to see what it would be like to experience a time beyond human existence through Rose. It is such an enormous, yet exciting concept for me, which makes episodes like this one, "New Earth", "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit", or "Utopia"/"The Sound of Drums" fascinating to me. I'm much more interested in seeing the possibilities in where we'll go as a species, rather than interacting with where we've already been.
I guess that's why I'm more of an aliens/spaceships kind of a girl and less of a Hobbit/dragon/broadsword kind of a girl, because if I had a time machine, that's where I'd want to go. Which is strange, because I'm not interested in my personal future – like, I wouldn't want to know when/where/how I'm going to die – but I'm desperately interested in where humanity is going to be in a million years. If it exists at all.
So that's my favorite Doctor Who era – Humanity's Far Future. I think what I love most of all about science fiction is the idea that humanity will always be kicking and screaming somewhere in the universe (even if we have to be suspended on racks and moisturized, or pumped with every disease). I love the idea that we're here to stay.

Katrina Kaif and Sidharth Malhotra wrapped up the shooting of their film Baar Baar Dekho recently. On the last day of the shoot Sidharth and Katrina clicked pictures with each other and the entire crew of the movie. And do we need to say that Katrina is looking beautiful in these pictures even without the make-up?
Also, we noticed one more thing; Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif do make a very smart pair...(hope Alia is not jealous!). This film was also the reason why Sidharth Malhotra could not spend valentine's day with Alia Bhatt as he was busy in the shooting.
Click On VIEW PHOTOS To See Katrina's Pics With Sidharth
Baar Baar Dekho is extensively shot in places like Glasgow in Scotland, Krabi in Bangkok and even the capital city New Delhi. And Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif are working together for the first time in this film and we are super excited to see this fresh pairing on-screen.
It's Complicated! Even After Announcing Separation, Maliaka Arora Khan Will Not Divorce Arbaaz Khan?
Talking about the story of his film, Sidharth Malhotra told a news agency, "It's a very unique story... What happens in the life of a person from 18 years to 60. It's not a time travel or science fiction, it's a fictitious story. I have done prosthetics for a 60-year-old character in the film.
The handsome actor further added, 'It's a very difficult role, but the writing in this film is wonderful. It's an adapted screenplay; it's a love story with a twist, where the universe gives you an option to do something different."
Directed by Nitya Mehra, Baar Baar Dekho will release on September 9th.

Video: Uncharted 3 PS3 Arrives 11/1/11, Full VGAs Trailer
Earlier this week we saw a preview and received confirmation that Uncharted 3 PS3 will be at the VGAs, and today Naughty Dog Community Strategist Arne Meyer has shared the full VGAs PlayStation 3 trailer!
To quote: We just got out of the Spike Video Game Awards 2010 in downtown Los Angeles and it's been an amazing day for us! We hope all of you were watching on TV or through the live stream on Spike.com to watch the FULL announce trailer AND catch the reveal of the release date - UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception will hit stores on November 1st, 2011!
Earlier today, Evan, Christophe, Amy and Justin walked the red carpet, getting their chance to say a few words about the imminent showing of our announcement trailer before heading into the Los Angeles Convention Center to attend the Spike Video Game Awards.
The rest of us met them inside as we witnessed an incredible show that the Spike folks put together for all the nominees and games that were announced today - they really did a great job showing our industry in a positive fashion and showing not only the developers, but the diversity of creativity and innovation we are all capable of producing.
At the tail of end of it all, we got to see a brief recap of UNCHARTED: Drake's Fortune and UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves before the big moment - the first time our full trailer for UNCHARTED 3: Drake's Deception has been seen publicly. We've embedded our announcement trailer above in case you weren't able to watch the Spike VGA show this evening.
If you didn't catch this earlier this week, Entertainment Weekly revealed some details about UNCHARTED 3 - but there's more to come!
We're hosting a bunch of journalists tomorrow in Los Angeles to discuss our game and show them a bit more than you've been able to see so far. You'll be reading (and seeing) about what we presented to them over the next few weeks in your favorite online web sites and print magazines around the world.
On Monday, we're incredibly humbled (and I'm a bit proud) to see Evan and Christophe appear on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on your local NBC station. Trust me when I say you won't want to miss it - we've got something great lined up for our appearance on the show.
That's not all. The PlayStation Store will be updated soon with some UNCHARTED 3 content for our announcement - wallpaper, dynamic theme, PSN avatars and more. We'll also reveal part one of a special behind the scenes look at the making of our announcement shot by the extremely talented crew at 2 Player Productions. There will be plenty of interviews, screenshots, concept art, even gameplay video on the way - and we will have only barely scratched the surface of everything in UNCHARTED 3.
These past few days have been extremely exhilarating for us to finally reveal UNCHARTED 3 to the world. All of what you're hearing about and seeing so far are the culmination of a few months of incredibly hard work by many of us at Naughty Dog to pull everything together.
We're glad to be able take a quick breather and check out all of the impressions that are being formed about UNCHARTED 3 and where we're taking Nathan Drake next. There is no doubt that we still have a lot more to do ahead of us before you can purchase your own copy of UNCHARTED 3 next year, on November 1, 2011 - we're looking forward to helping you "uncover the truth" over the next year!

Today in the glorious world of download has some real gems amongst the sea of absolutely terrible DLC.
First up, there's the demo for the new, Criterion developed Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit (full game out on the 19th of November). In the demo, you get to test-drive the new Autolog feature and compete for bragging rights against one friend or an AI opponent.
Also on the Xbox 360 and PS3 online stores today is the Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare DLC – commonly known as the reason for 'ZOMBIE COUGARS' being a trending topic on Twitter. The added bit of content lets gunslinger John Marston take on extra story mode and side mission to battle against the hordes of the undead.
If you're a PlayStation Plus member, you can get 20% off the full price of this DLC!
Lastly, is a PS3 double exclusive (only available to PS3 users in the UK) in the form of the weekly interactive show, First Play. This week, for just 99p, they've got previews of F.3.A.R (FEAR 3), Shadows of the Damned as well as a round-up of the 3 scariest Little Big Planet levels and reviews of Fallout New Vegas and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011. For 99p, that's a bargain!

On paper, it has it all. Towers that scrape the sky, brightly-coloured temples, an abundance of live entertainment options, and restaurants offering the best of Asian and Western cuisines…it's all one could ask for, surely? But beneath Shanghai's elevated, neon-illuminated surface, there always seems to be something missing. It doesn't quite click, somehow, forever seeming like a city trying to be something that it isn't.
Don't get me wrong, we had a fantastic experience in Shanghai. With all that's on offer there, visitors can really keep themselves entertained if they utilise the city for what it's good for. But for somewhere that markets itself as a shining beacon of cosmopolitan modernity, it fails to truly capture that coveted multicultural vibe.
So what's missing? Well, smiles for a start. Many of the people trudging along the streets look as if they're on their way from the courthouse to the cells having just been subjected to a guilty verdict. The general air of glumness makes the constructed images of grandeur seem like a forced attempt to put an eye-catching cover on an indifferent book. It's as if all of the skyscrapers are designed to make everyone look up, thus distracting us all from the grittiness and mediocrity of what lies at ground level.
And as for the cloud-reaching towers that raise the city's profile – and that of the Pudong area in particular – it's hard to know whether to feel mesmerised or bemused when gazing upon them. Sure, they are impressive feats of contemporary architecture, and the statistics that get bandied about regarding various of them being the tallest something-or-other in whatever category they belong to do augment the wow factor somewhat. But at the same time, Pudong reeks of artificiality. It's Top Three – namely the Lego-like Jinmao Tower, the World Financial Centre (which, for some reason, is shaped like a giant bottle opener) and the most recently-added Shanghai Tower – all stand beside each other like a trio of adolescent boys having an 'I'm bigger than you' competition. It draws gasps, but fails to truly convince.
Oriental Pearl Tower: A quirky mishmash
Amusement can be found in the interiors of these colossi though. The Oriental Pearl Tower, its peculiar shape making it seem as if it has been taken out of a Disney film, houses a space capsule for would-be astronauts and an indoor roller-coaster for daredevils. A different type of adrenaline rush can be found on the Transparent Observatory Deck, its glass floor offering a breath-taking view for any not too prone to vertigo.
A more relaxed form of entertainment resides in the basement of the same building, in the shape of the Shanghai History Museum. Small but detailed, it gives a nicely-compacted account of the city's origins and evolution, with displays on the ways of life and the modes of transport that have featured along the way.
There's one problem with exploring the inside of the Oriental Pearl Tower, however: it's almost impossible to gain any control over where the lifts take you. With the aforementioned space capsule, roller-coaster and museum all situated on different levels, lifts are most certainly required in order to fully benefit from the tower's varied offerings. Annoyingly, the long queues for them always seem to end with a large group being piled into one lift by a member of staff and sent to a particular floor before any of them know what's happening. This typifies Shanghai in a way; as fantastic as it is in some respects, it doesn't quite click.
Jing'an district: A terrific temple and some spectacular stunts!
Whereas much of Shanghai has a glittering surface but a core that lacks authenticity, the Jing'an Temple is the other way around. While its exterior has been converted into a series of shops, what lies inside the gates is one of Shanghai's true gems. And quite a sparkling gem it is too, its bright red-and-gold-dominated colour scheme a feast for the eyes.
A short walk from this extravagant place of Buddhist worship lies the Shanghai Centre, a modern complex that houses a five-star hotel and various restaurants and cafés. Examples of the latter include a branch of the eclectically-themed restaurant chain Element Fresh (whose Beijing branch features in another article of mine) and Baker and Spice, a rare haven of delicious coffee, fresh cakes and sumptuous breakfasts (which is described in greater detail here).
However, the Shanghai Centre's crown jewel is its theatre, which plays host to the Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe almost every evening. A 90-minute-long exhibition featuring a range of talents and tricks so improbable they must be seen to be believed, the skill, strength and agility on display had the audience gasping repeatedly. What´s more, amongst all of the jugglers, gymnasts and human-pyramid-builders, the line-up also allowed for an audience participant in the knife-throwing act! Guess who volunteered…
(The video of yours truly up on stage, being blindfolded as acrobats pretend to throw knives at a board to which I am helplessly tied, is unfortunately too big to be uploaded onto this site. However, if you fancy a laugh at my insanity, have a watch on YouTube here!)
So all in all, I can't list Shanghai as one of my favourite cities. Lacking the historical culture of Beijing and the natural beauty of nearby Hangzhou, it rarely stimulates any truly authentic vibes. The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures isn't pulled off with the same success as in Hong Kong or in either of the aforementioned cities, leaving Shanghai rather awkwardly stuck between both worlds. But is it really fair of me to compare it to other cities, you might ask? Perhaps I'm just not appreciating it for what it is? Well, it's difficult not to make comparisons, as Shanghai just doesn't seem comfortable in its own skin. Through the crude insertion of external glitz and glamour, it forever endeavours to be somewhere else. Without the soul to back up these efforts to impress, it never truly succeeds.

Vauxhall's top-of-the-range ADAM GRAND SLAM will make its UK debut at Autosport International 2015 (8-11 January) at the NEC, Birmingham.
Previewed at last year's Geneva and Frankfurt Motor Shows, the ADAM GRAND SLAM features slick design and a spirited 1.4-litre turbo (150PS) powertrain. It also gets a specially tuned chassis and a VXR braking system.
With 150PS and 220Nm of torque, the new version of the 1.4-litre turbo ECOTEC unit in the ADAM GRAND SLAM boasts a specific power output that exceeds 100PS per litre. It is a turbo-charged, high-performance unit derived from the ADAM's existing four-cylinder, 1.4-litre engine, that has been exclusively developed for the ADAM GRAND SLAM.
The front-lip spoiler, side-sill mouldings and an extended rear bumper cut-out with a visible, bold exhaust tailpipe make the bodywork appear more muscular then a standard ADAM. A total of ten body-paint choices and four roof combinations are available with the Red 'n' Roll roof design, reserved exclusively for ADAM S customers. The distinctive rear spoiler above the rear window and the special ADAM logo on the C pillars complete the look.
Inside the vehicle, the driver and front passenger can choose between four different seat arrangements, three of which are exclusively available for this ADAM variant, including the Recaro Performance seats in Morrocana or nappa leather. The interior reflects the Red 'n' Roll design in many ways, with the optional leather package including black and red steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake in leather or the red and white lighting for the instrument panels and doors.
Orders will open for the ADAM GRAND SLAM in January 2015.
Images and colours shown are for illustrative purposes only and may show optional equipment.

Titanic V2, Updated 10/22/12 . My second try on Titanic with a new program. This is a full minifig scale project. . Hey Everyone, Here is a partial teaser to my redone model of Titanic that is to the scale of the Lego minifig. I have switched programs and I have a long way to go, as I am doing every single room, stairwell, and porthole possible. The ship is currently over 31 feet long, almost 4 feet wide, and is going to be almost 8 feet tall if the proportions are correct. So far, I have the Boat Deck through C Deck, though each need to be finished in one way or another. I began the roofing of the Boat Deck, and in turn the smoke stacks, a lot sooner than I intended. But, oh well! You may be wondering why there are spaces between decks, and that is because I have not fully built the floor beneath each deck, which is a full brick in height. Eventually, with college being a deterrent to fully devoting my time to this 'little' project, I will get to the next few decks and the Tank Top. After the last decks have been added and all the small problems fixed, then the next items on the list of 'to-do' will be adding details like benches, vents, fans, props, cranes, davits, lifeboats, and populating the ship with as close an amount of minifigs as possible. So, have a nice one ladies and gentlemen, and please wish me luck at this undertaking! I have a ways to go! Update 12/10/2011 Greetings and Happy Holidays to Everyone, While I did have to take apart B and C Deck, I did do some work on the roof as you can see. I still have a long way to go, like adding fencing, and other little details, though I did add quite a few. I will finish the walls of B Deck, then start on the outlining of the rest of C Deck to begin work on that, and then go down! Update 6/30/2012 It has been a long time in officially updating this page besides minor tweaks and corrections, but better late than never! Something that had been troubling me for a long time was how to design the masts. For the most part I couldn't use round pieces due to the need for doors, an inside ladder, and outside attachments. But, I finally designed something I could be proud of as over-sized masts go. I should also mention that while I try to keep a certain focus on the order of the to-dos, I tend to go here and there as ideas strike me. So I have finished the funnels, the Boat Deck roof, and various other minor things like the Promenade Deck cranes and some deck moorings. I also put in the telegraph wire-separator between the masts. On a much more interesting note, I have also finished both Grand Staircase domes and covers. MLCad makes custom rotation very difficult, but I make do and it's nothing that when built for real can't be fixed. But now, some pictures: Update 10/22/12 Hey Guys, I have made some additions to the Forecastle and Poop Deck, and while I have still to tile the latter and add the rails to both, I thought I would show you what I have anyway. Please forgive some of my pictures, including this one. It takes forever to do anything in the program I am using due to the size of the model. I finally got this to turn out semi-well and to the angle I wanted, but here you are! As you can see, it is missing railing, tiling, the stairs to the docking bridge, and the all-important flag on the aft end, but they will be put in! Eventually... Wish me luck!

"I have to fight September 8th in London with the champion of Japan [Henderson]. He has the belt that I was trying to go for that I never got."
It's going to be interesting to see what the UFC plans on doing with Henderson's PRIDE Middleweight and Light Heavyweight titles. Are they going to be on the line as well? Only time will tell…

Sportsnet: GSP's Loss Still Causing a Stir
This past weekend UFC and TKO veteran Jonathan Goulet upped his record to 18-7 with an impressive knockout victory over Canadian middleweight Travis Axworthy. MMA on Tap caught up with "The Road Warrior" to get his thoughts on the fight and to find out what's in store for his future.
When asked to provide his thoughts on the fight Goulet said, "I was nervous because I had everything to lose but I was confident because of my good training. My coach told me before I entered the ring, "You haven't kicked a guy in the head for a while, so do it tonight." Unfortunately for Travis Axworthy, I did."
As you can see in the video above, Goulet came out and after a quick shot he fired off a devastating high kick that left Axworthy (3-1) motionless on his back only 8 seconds into their headline bout.
"I kicked him in the head after I tried to take him down but I asked myself "What am I doing? Come on Jon, stay on your feet."
After the fight, Goulet said, "I was looking for the promoter just to ask him if he was waiting for a murder giving me an opponent like him. Sorry to Travis, I don't have anything against him but I already did what we saw."
Goulet was originally scheduled to face Steve Vigneault for the TKO Welterweight Title but the fight was scrapped after Vigneault re-injured his knee. Axworthy decided to step in on short notice meeting Goulet in a middleweight affair, 15 pounds above Goulet's original weight.
Since leaving the UFC, Goulet has gone 2-0 (1 NC) with victories over Travis Axworthy and Jesse Bongfeldt. Goulet was originally awarded a TKO victory over Thomas Schulte but the decision was overturned after Schulte's camp filed a grievance with the Quebec Athletic Commission because Goulet earned the TKO after the round was over but the referee failed to stop the fight at the proper time.
What's next for Goulet? Who would he like to fight?
"I want to be a champion. I'm thinking about the WEC Welterweight Title but first I have to fight July 14th in King of the Cage. John Alessio is back on track, after his fight when he won by guillotine choke he said it's his move but I'm curious if he'd be able to apply a guillotine on me."
For those of you unaware, Goulet and Alessio fought back in 2004 at TKO 18: Impact when Goulet took the unanimous decision victory. Next up for Goulet is a middleweight bout against Cory MacDonald at King of the Cage in Halifax on July 14th at the Halifax Forum.
Closing out the interview Goulet left a message for his fans:
"I'm not going to fight for TKO soon so stay tuned to my Myspace (www.myspace.com/jonathangoulet) because my goal at this time is to reach the top 5 in the world before the end of the year. Right now I'm 15th."
News and Notes
- In a interview with the Boston Herald that was printed Sunday, Chuck Liddell has confirmed that his next UFC fight will be against former PRIDE Middleweight Champion Wanderlei Silva:
The road back to the belt will not be easy. It will begin with a long-awaited fight against Wanderlei Silva, probably sometime toward the end of the year. Silva, like Liddell, recently lost his Pride light heavyweight belt to Dan Henderson, in a fight staged in Las Vegas, shortly before the UFC bought the Japanese-based organization.
Liddell-Silva is a fight that UFC president Dana White has been trying to make for a while, going to the extreme of bringing Silva into the ring during a UFC card, asking him who he wanted to fight, and Silva responding that he wanted Liddell.
"It's going to be a striking battle," Liddell said of the matchup with Silva. "Who's going to hit harder and throw more punches. I think from the things I've seen (of him) that's what it will be."
- Chute Boxe USA has stated that former UFC Middleweight Champion Evan Tanner will make his return to the Octagon in September.
Evan Tanner has been training hard and is determined to win the title from Anderson Silva. According to Coach Roberto, he will be fighting at UFC in September under the Chute Boxe USA banner. His opponent is still unknown.
- UFC Mania has posted an exclusive interview with Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou over at their site…

- No word yet on whether or not the WEC has found a replacement opponent for Brock Larson for the promotion's first ever televised event on Versus. Larson was originally supposed to challenge Carlos Condit for the WEC Welterweight Title but Condit was forced to bow out of the bout after sustaining an injury during training.
- The Fight Network is reporting that David Loiseau is currently sidelined with a broken thumb and will be out of action for 2-3 weeks:
David Loiseau (15-7) is currently sidelined with a broken thumb that required surgery two weeks ago. "The Crow" suffered the injury during his win over Freddie Espiricueta on May 11th at the Arena Fighting Championship's "Art of War II" show in Austin, Texas.
The Canadian middleweight defeated Espiricueta with an arm-triangle submission in the second round, after damaging his right hand earlier in the fight.
"I have to wait two to three more weeks [before removing the cast] and then I'll start training again," said the 27 year old.
Nonetheless, the Montreal native has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming Steele Cage Promotions IFO event in Las Vegas on July 7. Loiseau was slated to face Chilo Gonzalez (9-7) in the upstart MMA organization launched by former boxing referee Richard Steele.

Lost in the mix today with Chute Boxe's announcement about the UFC's possible acquisition of Mauricio Rua was the team also stating that they have added Evan Tanner to the mix.
From Chute Boxe USA's official site:
Evan Tanner is back in Los Angeles with Coach Roberto Piccinini. He is determined to take back the UFC title from Anderson Silva and will be fighting under the Chute Boxe USA banner.
For those that don't remember, Tanner previously trained with Chute Boxe USA for his fight against Justin Levens at UFC 59.
It's official: Evan Tanner is back in action…
The rumor that he began training in preparation for his return to the UFC over the last few months was apparently true. Tanner let everyone know about his intentions via his official website earlier this morning:
Although I still plan on setting up the foundation, I'm going to be putting it's further development on hold for a little while. There is something I want to do first and I want no distractions. I think I'd be in a much better position to make things happen for the foundation as the UFC Middleweight Champion. I've been fighting for a long time and I may be getting a little older, but I'm not too old to still kick a little ass.
As you can see in the quote, Tanner has decided to put his plans for his foundation on hold for a while. The decision comes after an apparent bad experience with the first fighter that was invited to the fight house.
No word yet on when Tanner will be fighting next but July or August seems like a reasonable time frame. One interesting rumor that I've heard would be a possible bout between Tanner and Kendall Grove at UFC 74 as part of an already expected to be stacked main card.
