Migration Brewing meanders to Gresham
All things being equal, Migration Brewing co-owner Colin Rath would offer up a stylish Migration brewpub right in the middle of downtown Gresham's village-y business district.
However, in the world of microbrewing — where giant tanks, heavy duty equipment and room to expand upward are essential to a growing operation — all things are rarely equal.
That's why the new Gresham iteration of Northeast Portland-based Migration Brewing is located in an industrial district off 181st Avenue near Interstate 84, at 18188 N.E. Wilkes Road.
"We kept batting around how to have our cake and eat it too," said Rath, Migration's co owner, regarding the location choice. "But to have a production facility in a shopping district, there's not a lot of 20,000-square-foot buildings to be found. We wanted the ability to grow. This space allows us to grow in all fronts. The tanks can go higher and wider — a lot of options."
The expansive, high-ceilinged brewery and pub quietly opened in early June, and will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, July 14. The all-day event beginning at 11 a.m. will feature brewery tours, the release of Migration beer six-packs, the restaurant's full menu plus the possibility of speciality items along with other fanfare. Brewvana, a Portland bus service that provides tours of area breweries, will shuttle patrons between the new facility and Migration's original location at 2828 N.E. Glisan St., which opened in early 2010.
"It should be something fun for Gresham patrons as well as (those in) Portland," Rath said. "With the brewery tours, they can see the full scale of operations ... It will be a great time to come in."
Gresham's first large-scale beer-producing facility includes a full-service restaurant offering lunch and dinner, an outdoor patio and 15 beers and ciders on tap.
Rath is confident the location, layout and amenities will create a vibrant addition to East Multnomah County's dining and beverage scene.
"Three-thousand square feet of our space is dedicated to the front-of-the-house restaurant," he noted. "It's visible from the (I-84) freeway, off exit 13, which is awesome because there are exits from different directions. There's so much industry over here. We want to keep working on meeting them, tapping into the community and seeing how we can support them."
When the expansion concept hatched a couple of years ago, Rath and co-owner Eric Banzer-Lausberg commenced an extensive search for appropriate sites all around the Portland metro area. Late last year, they found what they were looking for in the northwest corner of Gresham, and renovations on the structure started early this year.
"There was something about Gresham that really felt right to us," Rath said.
Migration's migration into Gresham coincides with a distribution deal with Columbia Distributing, which will spread offerings like Exit 13 pale ale, Straight Outta Portland IPA, Outlaw Josey red ale and other craft styles farther and wider in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
"This partnership with Columbia has been a big boost to us," Rath said. "We were self-distributing for our first seven years. It's been nice and given us the confidence to grow and start producing more beer. Now it takes a small army to produce our beer as opposed to a one-and-a-half-man team."
Previously, Eric Banzer-Lausberg, Migration co-owner and head of distribution, carried the sole burden of selling the product through the region and making sure it got where it was going.
"The (partnership with Columbia) is a change in the fact that the beer can go farther and more people can experience our beer," Rath said. "It's relieved a lot of pressure for Eric, so now he can focus on (developing) relationships."
Rath anticipates the event on Saturday will help get that ball rolling.
"The grand opening should be a good time," he said. "We look forward to seeing a lot of new faces."

Lithuania to build Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant
- New Europe Investor
- December 01, 2014
With the Baltic states looking to diversify energy security from Russia, the construction of the long planned Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant in Lithuania appears increasingly likely.
Soviet history left the Baltic States highly dependent on Russia for its energy needs.
Lithuania itself had nuclear power from 1983 at the Ignalina Power Plant, however in 1999 the country agreed to close it down as part of European Union Accession. Many elements of the plant were deemed unsafe at the time.
It was formally closed on 31st December 2009 at a cost of €820 million.
Discussions regarding the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant began in the 1990s. An agreement with Latvia and Estonia has been made to share construction costs for Visaginas, that is to be built on the same site as Ignalina near the Belorussian border.
However construction of the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant was dropped in 2012, when a non binding referendum in Lithuania was held with 63% of the public voting against the project.
Changing Political Climate
The project has been given traction again this year with the issue of energy security becoming ever more important. Lithuanian parliamentary speaker Loreta Grauziniene has said that talks would now reach a political level between Baltic leaders.
The project has an estimated cost of up to €6.5 billion and construction will not be completed until 2020 at the earliest.
Japanese firm Hitachi was signed up as the strategic investor in 2011 and will build the plant, taking a 20% stake. Lithiania would receive the larger 38% stake with Estonia taking 22%, and Latvia the remaining 20%.
The Ignalina plant used to provide 70% of Lithuania's energy needs however since its closure, the country now has to import 60% of its energy.
The resurrection of the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant comes on the back of Lithuania recently taking delivery of it's own offshore Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) terminal. This gave the country gas diversification in the form of access to the global LNG spot market.

'Thogut?' An Evil Extremist Stabs Two Muslims!
… the two police officers were completing their prayers at Falatehan Mosque, across from the National Police headquarters in South Jakarta, when the assailant suddenly stabbed the officers using a bayonet. The suspect stabbed the officers after shouting, "Thogut!"
Thogut is an Arabic word for those who worship anything other than God.
Demonic savage, obviously, shrilling hate, and it's sad about those injured cops.
But the good news is that..
…the suspect ran to the nearby Blok M bus station. When another police officer fired a warning shot, the assailant turned around and ran toward the officer and tried, but failed to stab him while shouting, "Allahu akbar!"
He was reportedly shot dead.
Good for that policeman!
It's important to remember that the Indonesian Police have suffered many deaths and injuries at the hands of satanic sectarians. Ascension Day In Jakarta, As Satanic Evil Strikes Kampung Melayu!
But they also do a lot of good work.
Bravo Densus 88 – Three Down, But LOTS More To Go!
One hopes they continue to take out terrorists, since regrettably there have, since the Bali Bomb Pigs were put down…
Bali Bomb Pigs – three faces of evil
…in fact been NO executions at all of such murderous scum, in disturbing contrast to the regular use of capital punishment against drug criminals.
Incredibly, numerous terrorists, like the one in the photo below…
Terror at Sarinah
Photo of an Evil Entity – Why Was It Unleashed?
…are released instead of being put to death!
Reading about such horrendous events always has more impact if you have personal knowledge of the scene of the crime, like that Sarinah Islamist terror outrage last year…
Busy Blok M
…and for many years, when I was working in South Jakarta, I'd pass daily through Blok M Terminal.
I also used to visit Mabes PolRI – the National Police Headquarters mentioned in the report – to have my foreign residence paperwork completed.
But of course there's nowhere safe from evil these days, as many bereaved by jihadist monsters in London, Berlin and Paris can testify.
So today I am heading off into town, later to meet up with a few friends for a beer to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday.
Have a good Dominion Day!

I'm known as a Frugal Bastard as I'm careful with my money and don't like wastage. I travel a bit, take lots of photos, make videos and like sharing my own silly opinions on stupid things and spelling mistakes that I discover in the media. Political comment and satire have a place close to my heart. I also major in sarcasm.
Thursday, September 20, 2007
On Tuesday night we had a work dinner so that our project team could meet some of the people we are working for. I hadn't met any of our counterparts before but knew their names. The meal was at Queen's in Mt Lawley. Nice pub and great food and it was fairly busy, at least for a Tuesday night.
Our project secretary (PS) sat at the end of the table. About 20 minutes into the night a waitress came with a tray of large beers. She leaned over behind the PS who then started to talk. Now, our PS talks with her hands a lot. One of her hands hit the tray that the waitress was holding and three beers went down the back of a man seated behind her. He was not impressed but it was lucky that he was wearing a jacket. I don't think I saw one person from his group crack a smile all night. And his wife, I'm assuming it was his wife, was barking at the waitstaff about drycleaning etc. She was like a dog that has been on a chain for too long. For the safety of our PS, and that of others, we moved down the table a little to let her move away from the other group.
Lethal weapons should always be registered.
In the morning I prepared a registration form for a dangerous weapon - our PS's hands. I believe that she should have them registered as a dangerous weapon. At least she saw the funny side of it.
2 comments:
Free drinks on his back ha ha Poor jerk!! The bill for dry cleaning probably was high!!! Was the waitress drunk or just tired?? They could have been nicer because, it was an accident. That lady whining probably was a royal bitch!!! Oh well life goes on. I got in a food fight in a resteraunt when I was 18 and there were so many people involved it was fun!! ha ha Enjoy the rest of your week Mr.Celebrity!! Annette AT least you did'nt get the free beer shower ha ha

On Saturday afternoon, the Humanitarians sought out to engage and spend time at the CANSA Eikehof Cancer Home in Athlone. The aim of this day was to spent time with cancer patients that are away from their homes receiving cancer treatment in Cape Town. The facility is run by Wendy whom greeted us on the day with such passion that we could see she loves what she does bearing in mind that she does not get paid for this work.
In conjunction with engagement we were looking to assess and educate the facilitator and patients around eating correctly. We were shocked to find that their meal plans consisted of refined and processed carbohydrates as well as heavily focused on sugar. Research has shown that sugar fuels cancer cells and our aim was to educate them surrounding this vital fact. Consequently after chatting and getting to know the 7 individuals we served tea advocating for the no sugar campaign. In addition, we educated and provided fruits that were high in anti-oxidants with a lesser natural sugar content.
It was a thought provoking day for the team listening to the individuals far away from their families and homes far as Knysa and Bloemfontein. We hoped to engage and discuss what we could bring to them in a sustainable way to assist and support them during this challenging time of their lives. After productive engagement we were able to establish that these individuals only have their meals, go for their treatment and then either sleep or watch television which was sad to hear. As Humanitarians sustainable ways of living is our motto and we were able to find out that the home would love to be more active and explore Cape Town as well engage via board games.
Each and every individual touched each Humanitarian's heart from the lovely ladies and their love for baking to a teenager far away from home but having a love for the cinema. This was the first campaign of many whereby we will be visiting the home monthly bearing in mind that there will be different faces each time but the aim is to provide skills and make their stay much more comfortable and beneficial. Our main aim will be to educate around eating healthy which we believe needs to be addressed as having cancer treatment to eradicate the cancer is needed but eating better to prevent the cancer is also key.
Overall it was a beautiful day and returning home we should remember to not take for granted the importance of engagement as well as just the act of listening. Cancer can be prevented, eating correctly is key!
Humanitarians in Action!

The Poisonwood Bible Themes by Lit. Charts. Right away, Poisonwood establishes a clash between the Third World, represented by the Congo, and the Western world, represented by Belgium and the United States.
The Western world is portrayed as powerful, greedy, and sometimes deceitful, while the Third World is depicted as weak and the frequent victim of other, more powerful nations.

The Poisonwood Bible, usually regarded as her best novel. Kingsolver continues to write fiction and nonfiction. Historical Context of The Poisonwood Bible Poisonwood alludes to a great many historical events—too many to name in this summary. However, some of the most important would be the rise of 1.
Cold War, the election and assassination of Patrice Lumumba, and the so- called "Congo Crisis." Throughout the 1. Western Europe sent expeditions to other parts of the world, especially in Asia and Africa. Over time, countries like France, England, and Belgium established strong military outposts in these continents, where they harvested the natural resources for their own benefit—essentially stealing the wealth of Asia and Africa from Asians and Africans. In the Belgian colony of the Congo, for instance, Belgians established a colony that was internationally notorious for its cruelty to the Congolese tribes. Rumors circulated (and were later confirmed) of Belgian imperialists cutting off Africans' hands and torturing African babies. By the end of the Second World War, Belgium's presence in the Congo had almost completely ended. But as Belgium prepared to pull out of the Congo, the United States prepared to control the Congo for the first time.
In the early 1. 96. Congolese leader named Patrice Lumumba rose to prominence in the Congo, promoting an ideology of democracy, socialism, and equality. Mobutu wielded power over the Congo for many years, since he was backed by American money and weaponry. But by the 1. 98.
Mobutu was dying of cancer—as Kingsolver sees it, a symbol of the limited power of the U. S. And yet where Conrad's novel (which is, like Poisonwood, set in the Congo) deals with the legacy of Western imperialism from the point of view of the colonizers, marginalizing and even demonizing the African people, Kingsolver wants to depict the Congolese with sensitivity and respect. In this way, Poisonwood draws its inspiration from such contemporary works as Song of Solomon (1. Beloved (1. 98. 7) by Toni Morrison; A Bend in the River (1. V. Naipaul, and The Conservationist (1. Nadine Gordimer, all of which examine the legacy of colonialism through a feminist lens.

As head of the patent department at Türk Patent, Salih Bektas must oversee an increasingly demanding workload and, as WIPR finds out, he has called in some reinforcements.
It's been a big year for the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (Türk Patent), as it gets used to a revamped IP system and even a new name, following a rebranding from the Turkish Patent Institute (TPI).
The new IP Law was introduced in January 2017 and brought with it a host of changes across the IP spectrum, while Türk Patent began officially acting as an international authority for patent search and examination under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) just two months later. On top of that, the country's Intellectual Property Academy and Intellectual Property Public Training Center opened this year.
Salih Bektas, head of the patent department, says the new legislation, which replaced several separate decree laws, has made it necessary to hire 50 new patent examiners in order to boost the office's capacity. This should allow Türk Patent to become a leading IP office in the region and act as a bridge for IP knowledge between Europe and Asia.

i love getting the perfect shot. It helps to have a model like Sadie.
Category Archives: Photos
Natalie on the Mountain (NSFW)
Natalie is a wonderful person and the afternoon I spent shooting with her was a wonderful day.
We're all a bit mad here
First time shoot
I always say that a first shoot is like a first date. You hope that you get along with the person and have a good time. A friend suggested I shoot Allyson, and we had a great time.

I must have done something right, because she's already suggested a friend to shoot with me.
Manic May Days
I shot a lot in May. Here's a quick rundown of every shoot.
Rebecca is a friend of a friend who I had never shot before. I knew things would go well when we spent much more time discussing what kinds of beer to bring to the shoot than the kinds of photos we would take. We got along wonderfully, and the shoot resulted in hundreds of images. I look forward to our next shoot.
Once in a while you have to go exploring. Some friends and I did, and found this in an abandoned science lab.
Monet, who I have shot many times before. This shoot was her bellydancing outfits, which are impressive.
I met Raven at a party many years ago. Shortly after that, we did a shoot in an abandoned paint factory. She's become a wonderful friend over the years. This was a farewell shortly before she moved to Alaska. The sparks are created by me off-camera with an angle grinder and rebar.
Emily has shot with me once before. This time a friend was nice enough to loan me his woods for a backdrop.
Bubble has been a friend for years, but this was our first shoot together. She's got a thousand watt smile and used the word "myriad" conversationally. 🙂
Anya is friend with another model I've shot before. She tagged along to a shoot back in January, and I grabbed some shots of her with her friend. This was our first one-on-one shoot.
Manic Delight is a pro model and a friend of a friend. We got introduced to each other at a concert back in the spring, and made plans to shoot. Several months and one farmers-market pigs head later, we managed to make it happen.
Eve has been a friend for years, and modeled for me many times before. This was a simple Sunday shoot concentrating on her yoga skills.
My friend Katie is a fashion design grad student. She needed photos of her work for her final portfolio. She created the dress, and the model is her classmate Anya.
I met Christy Lynn about two years ago when a friend brought her to a burn. I started plotting to shoot her about 10 seconds after we met, but it took two years for this to happen. She's always fun, and an amazing hooper.
Kat is the little sister of a longtime friend who's wedding I performed years ago. Despite this shoot happening on a Friday evening when we were both brain-fried, we got some beautiful shots. I'm hoping to shoot her with her band soon.
Nummy is another long time friend who shot with me for the first time after years of thinking about it.
That's it. Thirteen shoots in thirty one days. My house was messy, my laundry was piling up and my cats were mad at me, but for a month I got to shoot more than once every three days. It was awesome and I hope to do better soon. Not this month though. June is for catching up on everything else.

Low Key Alex
Not much to say, but I LOVE how these turned out. Working with Alex is always fun.

This is the closest contest we've ever staged between a car and a bike – and the result might not be the one you'd expect…
Car versus bike contests are always dead good fun to conduct because the formbook dictates if there are straights involved, the bike wins. Easily. And if there are corners involved it's the other way round; car munches bike. And the bike fraternity goes into apoplexy, pointing out that there are grossly unfair differences in asking prices, power outputs, torque, traction control and so on.
But this one was different because the discipline itself involved some braking (quite a lot of fairly manic braking actually) plus the need for some genuine top-end performance. And in both cases you'd expect a car like the 197mph Audi R8 V10 Plus to have the edge, even over a bike like the 692bhp/tonne Ducati Diavel.
Watch the video: Audi R8 V10 v Ducati Diavel – 0-150-0mph
Even so, both car and bike rider genuinely expected the Audi to get whipped in a side-by-side 0-150-0mph test. And when Superbike's road test editor, Chris Northover, and I did the first few practice runs – without any test gear in situ – I thought it was game over for the R8.
The Ducati was so much faster off the line, it was ridiculous. So when we put the test gear on them and did some proper timed runs it was no surprise that the Ducati was almost two seconds faster to 100mph.
But as we carried on past three figures, up through 120mph and 130mph and eventually on towards 150mph, something weird began to happen. At about 115mph I became aware that Chris and the Ducati were no longer pulling away. And by 130-135mph I had begun to reel them back in, rapidly.
So although the Ducati was still physically ahead on the road by the time we reached 150mph, the Audi had actually taken less time to get there (always a bit of a brain bender, that one). And under brakes it was always going to win – because cars stop faster than bikes, no arguments basically.
Which just left the transition period between full acceleration and full braking to separate them. The Audi was always going to require a bit more time to make the transition because it weighs nearly six times more than the Duke, but it did have a fair bit of time in its tank in the first place. Plus, stamping on a brake pedal in a car is much easier to do accurately than nailing the brakes under full acceleration on a bike that's being buffeted by the wind at 150mph.
Watch the video: Audi R8 V10 v Ducati Diavel – 0-150-0mph
In the end it was ridiculously close, but… well you can look at the data yourselves to see just how close it was.
I'm sure the biking boys and girls will go berserk and accuse us of inventing a test in which we knew that the bike would lose, but I can promise you; no such pre-empting took place. Even the eminently amiable Chris from Superbike was surprised at the overall result.
Until he got his BMW HP4 out of the back of the truck, that is, and made the Audi and the Duke look like children's toys, more on which in weeks to come.
In the meantime I hope you enjoy the video, and here are the stats and those data figures in full to digest.
Ducati Diavel (carbon version)
Price £16,750; Engine 1198cc, 2 cyls 90 degree v-twin, Power 162bhp at 9500rpm; Torque 94lb ft at 8000rpm; Kerb weight 234kg; Power-to-weight 692bhp/tonne; Traction ABS, 8-stage traction control; Gearbox 6-speed manual gearbox; Tyre 240 section rear

Performance figures
0-30mph – Ducati 1.37sec, Audi 1.69sec
0-60mph – Ducati 3.02sec, Audi 3.56sec
0-100mph – Ducati 6.04sec, Audi 7.64sec

CAIRO, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Egypt is looking to offer shares in eight to 10 state companies on the stock exchange over the next 18 months, Finance Minister Amr El-Garhy told Reuters on Sunday, as part of a drive to attract foreign investors.
The government is launching an IPO programme that will offer shares in dozens of state-owned companies over the next three to five years in areas including oil, services, chemicals, shipping and real estate.
The government said previously they expected the first share offering in the first quarter of 2018, in oil company ENPPI. (reporting by Eric Knecht, editing by John Stonestreet)

How to do the dumbell chest press?
This is one of my favourite exercises for the chest. In fact, it's my favourite exercise since the only other alternative is the bench press. I much prefer using dumbells because I get a better stretch in the muscles and they work each pectoral muscle independently. The strong one can't help the weak one.
Dumbell presses are a very hard exercise to do for beginners or if you've been out of the gym for a long time. You need to balance each weight independently. It takes some practice to get right but after that it's well worth it.
Getting started
Sit on a flat bench, lift the weight onto your knees; when you're ready, give them a push with your knees, one dumbbell after the other, while at the same time lifting them with your arms and lying back. This is a little trick to lift very heavy dumbells into position when you wouldn't be able to lift them with one arm each or when you don't have a spotter around. If you lie down first and then try to lift the dumbells, you'll find it's much harder.
Lying on the bench in the correct position you'd adopt for the bench press, i.e. with your chest out, shoulders pulled back, back arched, feet flat on the ground, start with the dumbells at the top held in a neutral position. Lower them smoothly while breathing in. See this article on how to breath. At the bottom, reverse direction without stopping, push hard up and expel your breath forcefully. You don't have to make the dumbells touch at the top.
You want to start the exercise by lowering the dumbells so you get a feel for how heavy they are and be prepared mentally for that. Be careful of not lowering the dumbells excessively at the bottom, especially if they are very heavy for you or you may tear a muscle.
We mentioned the stretching benefit already and the fact that dumbells work each side independently.
The balancing action might make it an exercise avoided by novices and also prevent you from lifting as heavy as you would with a bar but this is an advantage in itself as you make the muscle work harder and in a different way.
Finally, the ace that the dumbbell press has over the bar is that the triceps are recruited to a much lesser extent. Unfortunately, there is no avoiding the shoulder muscles.
Of course, you can do it inclined and declined.
Use a gym ball instead of a bench.
Change your grip: hands facing each other or facing your feet. Add a twist: start with your hands facing your feet and rotate them as you push up so they end up facing each other in a kind of flyes movement. Quite hard to do with heavy weights. See this article for over 100 exercises and variations to work the pecs.
The dumbbell chest press is an all-round excellent exercise and better than the bench press for me.

The Navigation Solution for Android Aviators
You are not logged in.
Pages: 1
Just got an XRadio USB 978/1090 antenna for my Galaxy Tab Pro running Android 4.4.2 and Naviator 3.9.1 and can only get a "connected" green box in the ADSB diagnostics. Heartbeat, GPS, and FIS-B are red (GPS is as I figured) with 0 active ground stations and an ADS-B Error red annunciation on the main screen. Funny thing is - I get traffic on Avare.
I know it's using port 43211 and have "Other Device - Port 43211" selected in the Wi-Fi port (running a driver from XRadio to produce this), but am curious why I'm not getting any data in Naviator. Is Naviator only going to work with a Wi-Fi ADS-B connection?
Any advice appreciated!
Solved - another program was using the port. One at a time please!

"When you're just about fed up with agencies and consultants, it's great to find and work with people who can actually listen and help you to learn - folks like Barb, Pete, and Jarod at PB&J Consulting. They're always coming up with new ideas to consider and pursue, and their knowledge and wherewithal on how to turn challenges into successful transitions is invaluable. In less than a year, we moved the site to a new web design and hosting service, updated my online and print sales marketing, and brought a 40+ year-old brand into the world of shared content and customer stories. It's a fast-paced, ever-changing world of technology and social marketing, which makes PB&J particularly valuable."

David had all the right elements , but needed the guidance and energy that PB&J Consulting provides.

Putting aside for one moment the trifling fact that they have failed to acclimatise in the JFL following promotion from the Kyushu League at the end of 2005, FC Ryukyu have nevertheless announced their intention to apply for J-League associate membership during 2007. Regular readers of these pages will be aware that acceptance of such an application by the J-League is a necessary step in achieving promotion for any of the ambitious clubs currently populating the upper reaches of the semi-pro game in Japan - Rosso Kumamoto recently became associate members, while Tochigi SC were invited to re-apply in November. A further part of Ryukyu's application is likely to be their intention to develop a 10,000 capacity football-only stadium.

Mr. Stephen Ooi (BMW 528I 2.0 M-SPORT SALOON) :
This is my first time buying a car in Singapore and it would have been a disastrous experience if not for trustworthy guys like Rashidi and Adrian from Star Deals Gallery.
Initially I went to a different PI and was nearly cheated and was literally ignored by the salesman after signing the dotted line. Fortunately, after much stress and struggle, I was able to get my deposit back.
In my second attempt, I shopped around more and decided to purchase from Star Deals Gallery, honestly because they had the best deal. I was still nervous as you never know how the after sales service was going to be and whether they will meet their promise.
To my delight, Rashidi continues to be extremely responsive to all my questions and lets me know exactly where we are in the process (when to expect the car to ship, when it will arrive, when it is going to LTA, etc). They promised that I will receive the car some time in October, and sure enough, the car cleared inspections and was registered on Sept 30 and they were able to quickly install the leather seats in time for me to pick it up before the weekend on Oct 2! That took about a month and a half in total! Other dealers were quoting delivery earliest in Nov, Dec and even January as Vezel is a very popular model. Most dealers would probably over promise and under deliver, but these guys are the opposite! I am very pleased with the car, the leather interior is beautiful and everything was in order.
The most important thing when buying from a PI is to find someone you can trust and Rashidi and Adrian has certainly earned mine. They are also really cool dudes and very enjoyable to chat with.
Thank you again Rashidi & Adrian for the great experience and wish you the best in your business!
Mr. ZHONG (HONDA VEZEL 1.5X)
Finally after gotten the car for 3 days , I got time to write a review.
Full praise of my PI's Star Deals Gallery and the owner Adrian. From Day 1 he has been really helpful and keeps me updated on my vezel whereabout and give advise if you are in doubt. If anyone would like to get a Vezel, you may try to look for him. Thank you for a smooth delivery as promised :D
*Bonus delivered earlier than promise :D

Mr & Mrs Soon (HONDA VEZEL 1.5X)
Just collected my Silver Vezel 1.5 X from Star Deals Gallery at Amtech Building, Sin Ming. A valentine gift for my wife. An overall very pleasant experience dealing with the PI Adrian Ang and Rashidi.
This is my first time dealing with PI and I started with a bit of concerns with all the horror stories I heard. But really like the look of Vezel so decided to try it out.
After doing a bit of research on the web on who are the better PI and who are the really bad ones, I shortlisted a few and visited them. After a call to Adrian and visited his showroom, I like the straight forward manner he explained and handle things and trusted him to deliver. Adrian was very patient and actually sat through with me to go through my 20+ points checklist, hahahaha. So I placed my order and got the car probably in record time.
We visited Star Deals Gallery on the 13th Feb and decided to place an order from them on 15th Feb. Signed the paper works on 16th Feb and paid the deposit. Adrian bided and obtained the COE on 17th Feb (one bid guaranteed), I paid up, and the car was registered on the 18th Feb and is ready today on the 19th Feb. All the accessories were installed and done, the car is spanking clean, shining and ready to go. 3 days from making the order to car delivery. Really excellence service.
Of course this is possible as Adrian has ready stock and the car has just got VITAS approved. But I think overall Star Deals is efficient, straight forward and honest to make this happened. I would recommend Adrian to anyone. I am not related to Adrian or Star Deals.
Mr Chong(LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110)
Thank you adrian and rashidi for excellent service you've rendered to me. All along i was very skeptical when it come to parallel importers but when my cousin introduced me to you guys, i was more than happy to know i've met both trustworthyand no pushy guys. Both adrian & rashidi was very patient to wait for me to get back to them for confirmation and deposit unlike other experiences i have met. Anyone would to look for any cars and don't mind giving PI a try, going with star deals will nv be wrong. Look for adrian or rashidi-very cool and kind chaps! Lastly, i would like to wish you all the best in your business. Thank you so much! Owner of Land Rover Defender 110

Testimonial for Star Deals Gallery (Honda Vezel 1.5 (Ruse Black)
It was a pleasant and fantastics experience with these guys as they are professional and would not delay the transaction just because the COE is on the raise, absolutely no nonsense (of toping-up COE) from them. (I signed the deal 3 months ago when the COE is at it's low as my dream car need to be shipped from overseas). Throughout the wait, I'm constantly updated on the progress of the shipment and when it is ready for registration, COE was obtained on the first attempt and within the same week, my car was ready for collection (Thumbs up for the responsiveness).
The car price may not be the lowest among the PIs but it is still comparable with the "market". The assurance that you will get the car (even if the COE price shoot up, as in my case) is something that you will not get from some PIs that just "blindly" lower their price when COE is down (and later failed to deliver).
Highly recommended for anyone that is looking for PI to get their new car. The service demonstrated is simply Awesome.
Thank you again Rashidi & Adrian for the great experience and wish you the best in your business!

Mr Yap(MERCEDES BENZ GLC250)
After 3 Japanese make cars purchased from authorized distributors, Borneo Motors (Toyota Corolla, Picnic) followed by Kah Motors (Honda Odysessy) over a span of 16-yrs, I was skeptical at first in opting to purchase my next new vehicle (Mercedes GLC250) from a PI. Especially after hearing some horror stories involving errant PIs in the market.
Upon checking with Cycle on their std specs and 1-year lead-time required for their new GLC250, I hv decided to approach SDG for the enquire. Adrian, part owner/salesman of SDG was neither pushy in his approach nor was he impatient in advising me on my next auto purchase, some of the conversation/my straight direct queries were as easy and friendly via SMSs. A testament to his style and ease of dealing, plus service level.
Upon confirmation of GLC250 specs and availability from his supplier, I signed the sales agreement w SDG on 24Nov16, with a targeted delivery pre-CNY in end Jan '17.
The entire process with smooth despite my ongoing worry, if I've gotten a good deal and if things will turn out well.
But through the entire execution of SA, to actual delivery of my GLC250 4MATIC Designo white colour with stylist dark brown interior leather seats, it was a pleasantly smooth experience. Any worries would be easier addressed with a call or a SMS to Adrian. Most important of all, my new car was delivered on time, on 25Jan17 (2 days b4 CNY) with SDG constant followed with authorities and myself to ensure loans/insurance, even my new no plate, etc was settled b4 the delivery date.
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Adrian and his staff for exceeding my expectation in terms of service and in ensuring I'm totally satisfied with my new Mercedes purchased through his Company.
I have been enjoying my new GLC250 for the past few weeks and it's definitely a great choice to purchase this car from SDG and it's an awesome ride.
Thanks Adrian to U & your SDG Team �

Thank you Greg for your patience & support!!! Hope you are enjoying every moment of the DIESEL power!!!
"SDG is fantastic. And in particular Rashidi. I took a long time deciding on the car and specification that i wanted for my BMW X1 xdrive 20D. I was very exacting in what i wanted in the car which PML did not have in terms of specifications and did not show any interest in entertaining it. Frankly PML specifications really CMI. And besides ,PML prices were ridiculous especially so when you look at the LTA monthly published car cost and you can see their margins. This is my third BMW in 18 years. SDG pricing is transparent and fair. I went through almost 10 configurations and in every one of them Rashidi was patient in working out the individual pricing and whats the best combination and the lowest cost i could get my car for. And Rashidi kept me informed every step of the way. They even got me a car to use in the meanwhile between the scrapping of my existing car and the delivery of the new car. And the X1 was exactly what i wanted and more so at a significant price savings as compared to PML and much much better specs .The peronalised service Rashidi rendered is exemplary. While deciding on the car, Rashidi helped me to compare different makes as well. This was very helpful in making sure i get an objective assessment in getting the features i wanted in the new car. I commend both Adrian and Rashidi for running a great outfit and highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a car to consider them.
What i thought was amazing is that i just stumbled upon them by accident. They had advertised a MB plug in hybrid estate, which i thought was very interesting. As i used to have a BMW touring and thought i would just take a look at it as well as i was looking to replace my existing car which was about to be scrapped. So SDG can really get some very interesting and unique cars."

Thank you Mr & Mrs Amin for your support. Hope you guys will enjoy the new addition in ur lovely family, safe driving!!!

State governments are salivating now that the U.S. Supreme courtroom has cleared the style for them to authorize activities playing, a legal Nevada most effective at this time and illegal industry that consultants say dwarfs the lotteries and casinos in bucks wagered.
however don't count on any future state tax revenues from activities making a bet to make a dent in our state's massive budget deficit.
Illinois has seven styles of criminal gambling, in order of tax profits to the state: the lottery, video playing, casinos, horse racing, bingo, pull-tab and jar video games.
State income from gambling has jumped from $118 million in 1975, when the state-run lottery turned into created, to $1.3 billion $567 million in inflation-adjusted bucks this previous year.
The $2.eight billion spent on Illinois lottery tickets this past yr quantities to about $600 for each of our state's 5 million households.
The Illinois Lottery returns best 60 cents in winnings for each $1 spent on tickets, making it a really injurious wager, yet a terrific income maker for Illinois state govt.
And, sure, Mildred, the state's $730 million in lottery salary this past 12 months does go at once into the normal college Fund, as become ballyhooed when the lottery was sold to citizens.
The issue is that funds-makers have taken an identical amount that would otherwise have gone to public faculties from different sources and spent it somewhere else. So, little or no web gain for education.
gambling at video terminals in bars and making a bet parlors become situs judi bola authorized just 5 years ago and has already surpassed riverboat casinos in annual salary to the state, at just about $300 million.
a pal in Galesburg population 32."000 in western Illinois informed me that this past yr, people in his city wagered $86 million at 139 video playing terminals, and lost $7.2 million, or $225 for each grownup in his town.
should Illinois leap on board with even more playing?
I feel the prices of playing are better than the advantages. however as a non-gambler, my evaluation is extremely subjective.
a number of sources I turned to on the information superhighway say that about three p.c of all gamblers are either compulsive or issue gamblers, who create big companionate problems. Two decades in the past, a pal of mine dedicated suicide, curiously over gambling debts he couldn't pay.
And while middle- and upper-profits folks spend extra on gambling, the negative exercise a higher percentage of their profits on gambling, a lot of it taken from primary family needs. All this has to cause incredible suffering and worse inside households.
On the plus side, my tennis partners have some bucks to squander weekly on the lottery, and that they savour fantasizing about what they're going to do with their hundreds of thousands after they acquire the vigor Ball or some thing. And on my one seek advice from to an Illinois on line casino, I saw a lot of seniors who appeared to find sitting at the slots preferable to a different day of boredom again domestic.
Illinois will need to get in on the activities betting motion, as experts predict most such gambling may be carried out on-line, so Illinois won't are looking to see its playing greenbacks go to other states.
i'm guessing legal sports playing can be of the magnitude of the lottery, which may mean $200 million to $300 million more into our state coffers each and every year. Of direction, it's going to damage the other sorts of gambling, simply because the lottery and then casinos actually killed horse racing in Illinois.
The state's total purchase of $1.three billion from gambling this past year represents lower than 2 percent of the $70 billion-plus in annual state salary, or the equivalent in yield of about one-third of a percent element in the rate of the four.95 p.c particular person profits tax.
finally, I predict Illinois will authorize activities playing. Its yield to the state will, youngsters, by no means come close to filling our multibillion-dollar funds hole. Yet it will add to the matey complications generated through playing dependancy, and the spending of grocery cash by way of many poor individuals who can't withstand the entice of idiot's gold.

WWE is one of the most recognisable brands on the planet. From having it in all of our homes as growing up, it's something that is known around the world; yet for some reason, where football, American football and other sports have prospered in the video games market, WWE has stalled time and time again, and WWE 2K16 is no different to any of the previous outings the professional wrestling company has produced.
As soon as the game starts, it's evident that, graphically, it is lacking. On the current generation of consoles, players have become accustomed to seeing works of art unfold on their screens – games like Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto V and Tom Clancy's The Division have set an unprecedented bar for visuals in video games. Play WWE 2K16 and you get this:
It's not exactly a work of art. Renee Young is the person featured in this picture, and is a very attractive woman (as are most who work for WWE), but the game lets her down. It lets a lot of other WWE Superstars and Divas down too, as seemingly, characters cannot look natural with long hair, as it appears to be pasted together. On the whole, while we are firmly set in 2016, WWE 2K16 could easily be mistaken for a game made a decade ago.
Especially when compared to the visually beautiful UFC 2. While the latest instalment in the UFC franchise has not been released yet, trailers have shown that on top of pinpoint graphics, the characters in the game move smoothly and strike with the fluidity that they would inside the Octagon. This is yet another issue WWE games suffer from.
Inside the squared circle, it is paramount for wrestlers to be fluid in their transitions between moves, and even though the matches are scripted, these grapples can be extremely hard to pull off. However, it seems in WWE 2K16, wrestlers have even more problems than they would in real life. Walking around the ring seems clunky, as if they aren't really sure what to do, changing directions while running can be a nightmare, and, even when it goes smoothly, seems like changing direction on a game from the 90s. The grappling system has been markedly improved since WWE 2K15, but it is still something that is ultimately too limited.
The problem with the system for each wrestler is that they have a specific amount of moves in their set; once those are full, you cannot add any more without taking some away, and that is just the opposite of what the WWE stands for, although in a game this would be extremely hard to control. Whereas in a UFC game, controls would be standard for each athlete; WWE cannot have the same focus as there are just too many different moves that a Superstar can perform. However, each wrestler does have two spaces for signature moves as well as finishers, but it's the basic moves that end up lacking.
While there are hundreds of different suplexes that can be performed, you can be sure that each wrestler might have only three or four to play around with, which just limits the experience for the player. On top of a lack of moves for each wrestler, the system is flawed by the ease in which the player builds to their finishing manoeuvre. In a real match, you would see a wrestler like Randy Orton hit his patented RKO at the end of the match, but in WWE 2K16, performing three taunts and hitting three moves is enough to build up to it, including one of his signature moves. While overall a very difficult factor to overcome, it moves the player away from a realistic experience.
There are three different main modes that the player can enjoy with WWE 2K16 – WWE Universe, Career and the Showcase mode. The WWE Universe and Career modes are very similar and anybody who can wrestle more than five matches in a row with the same Superstar or Diva should be commended, as after half an hour of gameplay, it becomes incredibly tired and repetitive. Due to the limited number of moves each Superstar can perform, every match just turns into a blur of the same thing over and over again, which obviously is not the desired effect.
The Showcase mode is a refreshing addition, as the player goes through Stone Cold Steve Austin's career and plays different matches with the Texas Rattlesnake. Out of everything to do, it is easily the highlight of the game, and is very entertaining, giving numerous different objectives to complete within each match to ensure that each one is as similar to what happened in real life as possible.
What is arguably the most laughable thing about WWE 2K16 is the ratings for each wrestler. Each wrestler is rated out of 100, just as with most sports games, but half of them make no sense in the slightest, and it's incomprehensible that some Hall of Famers have been disrespected in the manner they have with this game. Mankind and Ricky Steamboat are apparently as good as current Superstars Stardust, Ryback and Bad News Barrett; with all due respect to the crop of current wrestlers, none of those three hold a candle to Mankind or The Dragon. Eleven-time world champion Edge is rated as good as zero-time world champion Cesaro and current NXT Champion Finn Bálor, who has not been featured on any of the main shows as of yet. To put the icing on this shambolic cake, The Big Show, who himself said he has probably won eight matches in the past two years, is rated better than Bret Hart, Randy Savage, and Ric Flair, and is on par with The Rock and Shawn Michaels. It just seems like whomever created the ratings system closed their eyes and typed in two numbers from the 80s and 90s.
The kicker is that it doesn't look like they will pick up any time soon. The company keeps putting out a substandard product and the audience laps it up, just as they do every Monday night for Raw.
Lastly, here's a picture of what should have been Mike Tyson, except WWE couldn't get the licensing to use him in this game. He looks more like current day D-Lo Brown than 1998 Mike Tyson.
