As of Monday, May 6, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The Gwinnett County jail is the latest local filming spot for a major motion picture.
Sheriff's department spokeswoman Shannon Volkodav confirmed that a crew filming scenes for "Need for Speed" -- a Dreamworks production featuring "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul -- was at the jail Monday for a one-day shoot. The facility's overflow parking lot, located just off Ga. Highway 316 near Ga. Highway 20, was filled with trailers, semi trucks and production equipment Monday.
No other details regarding the shoot were immediately available.
The movie, which also stars Michael Keaton, is scheduled for release on March 14, 2014. It is loosely based on the video game series of the same name.
An online summary describes the plot as follows: "Fresh from prison, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate joins a cross country race with revenge on his mind. His ex-partner, learning of the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins."
Much of the movie's filming is being done in Macon and Columbus, as well as different sites in Utah, California and New York.
Monday's action in Gwinnett is at least the third production to visit the county in the last month or so. Reese Witherspoon recently worked at a restaurant in Sugarloaf Mills Mall and a Christmas movie starring Joel McHale shot last month in downtown Norcross. Movies like "Identity Thief," "Flight" and "Due Date" have also shot scenes in Gwinnett.
The film industry has flourished across Georgia in recent years, thanks to a series of tax breaks and other incentives aimed at drawing production companies to the state.

Dr. Washington provides leadership to Microbiology educators
Celebrating 20 years of Vision, Change at Leadership, at the recent annual American Society of Microbiology Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE) held in Englewood, CO, Dr Jacqueline Washington, Professor of Biology, participated in a special session entitled "A Walk Down Memory Lane and Visioning the Future" as part of the conference's 20th anniversary celebrations.
As the 2012 conference chair, Dr. Washington presented a poster highlighting accomplishments of ASMCUE over the years. Some of these include being nationally recognized as a leader in the scholarship of teaching and learning in biology, development of curriculum guidelines for microbiology courses and labs, laboratory safety guidelines and recognition by faculty that ASMCUE being a premier venue for faculty development and scholarship. Future goals include further development of student centered learning activities and corresponding assessments, completion of the critical thinking test bank and continued advancement of the scholarship of teaching and learning in biology.
Last year, during Dr. Washington's tenure as conference chair, ASMCUE began a new collaboration with the ASM General Meeting where ASMCUE is held just prior to and nearby the larger general meeting. ASMCUE participants are given opportunity to attend the ASM General Meeting for 1 1/2 days, one of the largest annual conferences attended by over 9,000 microbiologists.
ASM is the oldest and largest life science society with over 39,000 members from all the disciplines of microbiology and so it is divided into divisions, each comprised of scientists with like interests. During this year's ASM General meeting held nearby in Denver, CO, Dr. Washington agreed to serve on the nominations committee for Division W - the primary division for educators to select the next chair of the division.

Hope you're well. A couple notes:
1. Brian Gregory filled out his coaching staff Thursday by hiring Billy Schmidt, who was with Gregory for eight years at Dayton. He was Gregory's top assistant.
I get the feeling this has been in the works for awhile. Schmidt, 41, was reportedly in the running for an assistant job at Michigan State for Tom Izzo, for whom Gregory once worked. Gregory and Schmidt have a considerable history. Prior to Dayton, they worked together at Northwestern under Kevin O'Neill in the late '90s.
Tech fans will probably like this. In a poll of Atlantic 10 coaches by foxsports.com writer Jeff Goodman last fall, Schmidt was named the conference's top assistant. The uber-connected Goodman, in fact, told the Dayton Daily News that Schmidt was no less than "the most underrated coach in the country." (Though I'm not sure how you can be acknowledged by your peers as the best assistant in your conference and also be the most underrated coach in the country.) Goodman said Schmidt is "an old-school grinder. A lot of guys don't make it under Brian Gregory because you have to work hard and you have to have thick skin."
A comment, I'd note, that says something about Schmidt but also about Gregory.
Gregory also hired Amir Abdur-Rahim as his director of player development. Abdur-Rahim is a former Wheeler High Star (his brother is former Hawks star Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who, if you're wondering, is now assistant GM of the Sacramento-for-now Kings) who previously was an assistant at Murray State. He's another hire with significant local ties, following assistants Josh Postorino and Chad Dollar. While Abdur-Rahim isn't allowed to recruit since he isn't a coach, there's nothing to stop him from going to high school games and making the rounds wearing his Georgia Tech polo shirt.
2. The Tech baseball team goes to Chicago Friday for a three-game series against Illinois-Chicago that runs Saturday through Monday. It's Tech's final non-conference series before finishing off the regular season with series against North Carolina and Virginia Tech. Given that the Flames are estimated to be ranked No. 210 in RPI while Tech is No. 8, this would appear to be something of a breather.
However, the Yellow Jackets are in need of a return to form, having lost three of their last four.
"I see it as an opportunity to just go get ourselves right, so to speak, heading into the last two weekends of the ACC," coach Danny Hall said.
They Jackets, ranked No. 13 by Baseball America, are 10-10 in the last 20. Tech was hitting .333 after winning its 16th consecutive game March 27. Their batting average has dropped in the last 20 games to .307. The Jackets hit .168 in dropping their series to Clemson last weekend.
"It's a combination of everything," Hall said about Tech's hitting woes. "But if I had to zero in on one, we're not doing little things well. We're not getting runners from second to third with nobody out. We're not scoring them when there's a runner on third and less than two outs. We're not getting them in. Just the idea of putting the ball in play as opposed to striking out. We're not doing the little things that's going to lead to better offense."
That said, there's still time to get set up for the NCAA tournament. Boyd's World, which keeps baseball RPI, estimates that Tech needs to finish 8-3 to hold onto its No. 8 RPI and thus have a reasonable shot at earning a national seed that would keep the Jackets at home through the super regionals.
3. Georgia Tech softball shortstop Kelsi Weseman is leading the ACC in batting average, home runs and RBI, as well as runs, doubles, total bases, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. That is amazing. Whoever has her in their college softball fantasy league must be loving life.
Tech, ranked No. 17 in the espn.com poll, plays its final regular-season series with a doubleheader Saturday and single game Sunday against Florida State at Mewborn Field. The Jackets will host the ACC tournament next weekend.
4. I had a cheesesteak and mushroom sandwich yesterday from Cheesesteak Place in Ansley Mall. I was kind of bummed because when I walked out, I saw that Moe's had $3 burritos for Cinco de Mayo, but it was still pretty good. Pretty creative name for a cheesesteak place.

Thanks Ken for your complete coverage of GT sports. We brought our young softball playing daughters to see their first college game last month against UNC and Kelsi hit 3 homers in the doubleheader. She is a player. On Coach Gregory, I really like the staff he has put together. On question, you state Abdur-Rahim is not a coach — what was he hired as?

Ken, you are doing an excellent job as the beat writer for Tech. Keep up the good work. GT fans/alums appreciate it. BTW, since DOB gives us his music reviews and song of the day, maybe you can do a review of the best local dives.

8:30 am
Compare the assistant coaching staff for Gregory to what we had last year. We will see a night and day change with practically the same players next year. Brandon Reed will take the place of Iman Shumpert, probably better right now. Shumpert may not be drafted for a reason, but may be leaving for a reason too. If Shumpert had played under this coaching staff he will be drafted in the second round, he has the talent; just needed a lot more work. I cannot think of a player under Cremins that did not go in the draft as high as his talent could carry him and in some cases higher. Hopefully for our players at Tech those days of underachieving are over. The fans are not the only ones getting cheated under the last coaching staff.

i think we are ok in baseball hosting 1st round but a super regional is not looking good, and lets face we have not done well in hosting super regionals so lets go on the road and see if we can improve our record in super regionals if we win 1st round.

Great hires by Gregory and a smart man. The Tech and Georgia State hires both come from the MidWest but both understand the right thing to do when recruiting Atlanta.
For those confused about the Abdur-Rahim hire, this is why Georgia State football coach hired Joe Hamilton as a Special Assistant. It's invaluable having guys that were local legends around the program and will have a direct impact in recruiting even if he's not actively recruiting any Tech prospect.

This should end the speculative questions about why CBG was not rading his former Dayton staff. Looks like good hires all. I am expecting to see the effort level go up. When that happens, usually the results do, too.

1. Good hire for Gregory, or should I say re-hire. Agree with gt above. This staff's assistants are night and day from the old staff.
2. We haven't had much luck hosting the Super Regional, so maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to play away for that one, IF they can make it through the first round.
3. Ken, if anybody is actually in a Softball fantasy league, I feel sorry for them.
4. I'm liking you more and more with each post, Mr. Sugiura.

You're da man Ken. I'm a GT grad living in NY and it's refreshing to see Tech sports covered so well in your blog. The coaching staff that CBG has put together can go head to head with any staff in the country. The future of GT b-ball is looking bright!

I wish somebody would inform BG that most GT people aren't that impressed with Michigan State/Izzo and to please quit dwelling on it. After all Bobby Cremins had a more successful era than they did and two, Hewitt even had more impressive years so I do not know why I am suppose to be in awe of hearing anything about that place.
And so you hired your assistant at Dayton, I congratulate you because I know how hard it was to keep you from hiring all those assistants to run the Ga Tech program. After all GT is in need of a bunch of Div IAA coaches to run the ACC. Just fyi, I do realize you won the NIT two years ago but the NCAA kind of looks at that like that makes you the 65th best team in the country and Cremins put you out in the first round this past year of the NIT so I guess that is why you limited hiring Dayton assistants to only one.
May 6th, 2011
9:40 pm
give my regards to Izzo and Heathcote and tell them Kenny Anderson says hello
May 8th, 2011
8:12 am
@just saying: As a Tech alum here, I am wondering if you are aware of the incredible amount of success Izzo and MSU has had. They have won a national championship, and went to 5 final-fours since 1997. Um, that pretty much trumps anything Cremins and Hewitt did put together.
I hope Gregory and his staff at the very least, acquire all the in-state top studs, and go back to having our pick of the litter locally.

thanks, eric. will keep that in mind.
and thanks for all the kind words.

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) -- Archer Daniels Midland has restarted operations at a corn processing plant Illinois two days after an explosion forced the facility's closure.
ADM spokeswoman Jackie Anderson said Friday that the company plans to be back at full production in Peoria by Saturday.
Decatur-based ADM shut down production at the plant before dawn Wednesday after the explosion and a fire that followed. No one was seriously injured.
Firefighters said they found an open natural gas line in the ethanol distillery that was feeding the fire. But fire officials say the cause of the fire hasn't yet been determined.
The damage was estimated at more than $1 million.

Grilling is more a less an art. It's takes an innate skill to know when to pull your meat from the burner (or embers if you charcoal). But let's face it, when you BBQ, you're BBQing to distraction. Which is to say, you're not BBQing to focus on one thing, you're doing it to unwind from the work week, socialize and have some fun. So odds are you don't wanna man the grill every second of the party. That's why you need yourself the CyberQ Wifi.
Now, to be clear, this isn't a simple remote meat thermometer that wirelessly beams the temp to your smartphone. Nope, this thing is a soup to nuts grilling machine. That said, it does use WiFi, but instead of beaming info to your smartphone, you can login to its independent web server and check in on the grilling activity. Unfortunately, it won't flip the burgers for you, but it can automatically adjust your gas grills output by independently rotating the associated knob thanks to an included motored dial. So if the CyberQ Wifi detects that the meat's temperature is rising too fast, it will automatically, and magically no less, lower the BTU output. The same adjustment can be done if the lid of the grill is lifted, which often results in a dissipation of heat.
Included in the $300 package are 4 sensors: one to monitor your pit's temparture and 3 to monitor the food. There is also a 16 Character by two line backlit LCD display that is built into the control box, which can emit alarms if the cooking temperature is met or exceed (F or C), as well as a fuel detector based on output.
Update: I was wrong. There isn't a motorized knob. Instead, and this is from the manufactuerer's mouth, it's designed to be used with charcoal grills:
It works using a fan system that stokes the flames when the temp needs to rise and turns off when it needs to cool down. The controls will keep a charcoal grill running within a few degrees of accuracy for hours on end.

Hope family spokesman Harlan Boll said Dolores died Monday of natural causes at her home in the Toluca Lake area of Los Angeles.
Born Dolores DeFina in The Bronx, New York in 1909, Dolores had a successful nightclub singing career under the name Dolores Reade.
She met Hope in 1933 when he saw her perform in the Vogue Club in New York City and they married in 1934. Dolores then joined Hope's vaudeville act before putting her career on hold so they could concentrate on his movie and TV career.
Dolores accompanied Hope on his U.S.O. Christmas tours to entertain the troops from the late 1940s onward, and she performed on his numerous NBC television specials.
She also oversaw the Hopes' extensive program of charitable giving, playing a pivotal role in the establishment of the Eisenhower Medical Center in Palm Desert, Calif.
The Archbishop of Los Angeles, Jose H. Gomez paid tribute to Dolores, telling the Associated Press that "Both the entertainment world and the church have lost a woman of profound faith, gifted musical talent and dedication."
Former First Lady Nancy Reagan told the AP that "Dolores ... was an extraordinary partner to Bob throughout his entire life, supporting both their family at home and Bob's selfless cause to entertain U.S. troops abroad. Together, they brought countless hours of laughter and cheer to Americans everywhere."
Bob Hope, who was one of the most beloved U.S. entertainers of the 20th century, died in 2003 at the age of 100. The Hopes had been married for 69 years and raised four children. They both received numerous awards for their humanitarian work and efforts on behalf of the poor.
Dolores revived her musical career late in life, recording her first CD -- 'Dolores Hope: Then and Now' -- at the age of 83. She then recorded three more albums and performed with Rosemary Clooney. Her last U.S.O. performance was in 1991 when she performed 'White Christmas' from the back on a truck in the Saudi Arabian desert.
Dolores Hope is survived by two children, three grandchildren and one great-grandson. After a private funeral service she will be buried next to her husband at the Bob Hope Memorial Garden at the San Fernando Mission outside Los Angeles.

keep in mind from what the videos show to come up with some info you have to have apps like yelp installed. so you have the siri stuff doing its thing while bringing up the other app to do its thing. I am betting it is using the dual core more of apple being lazy then anything else.
ON my iPhone 4 i cannot listen to music on the iPod app while downloading songs from iTunes app . (the music stops every time a song finishes downloading and goes to processing. I am thinking that sure requires probably more cpu time and apple rather just sperate the siri and 3rd party apps on their own cores then actually making it to run on the 4.
Like i said I think its more of a lazy developer thing .
With playing music and downloading songs it quits because you are writing to the music storage area. That doesn't have anything to do with the A4, or the A5. It's been this way since the very first iOS device. I have a jailbroken iPhone that allows me to use the phone while it's syncing to iTunes and I can't view pictures while putting photo albums onto it. The app won't open or it says "rebuilding library, please wait." It force closes the photos/iPod apps until it's done syncing and even then you have to restart the photos\\iPos apps after it's done. That's true of any Apple app that syncs data to the phone. The photos/iPod apps do this every time you sync content to it, the icon is greyed out when you disconnect and open the multitasking drawer. That's a read/write issue and all computers do this to some extent. You can't write firmware or other critical software updates in OS X while it's running either, you have to restart and it updates it then. That's also why a non-jailbroken iPhone locks the screen while syncing. All of that behavior prevents the user from terminating the process mid-write and corrupting the data, not Apple being lazy.

Lancôme Gets Emma Watson; Emma Stone Gets Curly; And More…
Lancôme is officially stacking its celebrity spokesperson deck. As if scoring Julia Roberts last year wasn't a big enough coup, the French beauty giant has just announced that Emma Watson is joining Kate Winslet and Penélope Cruz as the newest face of the brand. [WWD]
In the newest issue of O magazine, Oprah dedicates a whole feature to her longtime hairstylist Andre Walker, who dishes about coiffing the talk show hostess-with-the-mostess for the last 25-plus years. Walker goes into detail about "the styles that weren't so great" (read: the bigger eighties-era poufs) and his tips for keeping Winfrey's hair TV camera-ready, including, "Condition. Condition. Condition. Whether you think you need it or not, use a conditioner every time you shampoo, and slather on a thick hair mask once a week." [People StyleWatch]
Emma Stone was snapped with light, strawberry blond curls in L.A. this weekend—a far cry from the sleek platinum strands she sported front-row at Louis Vuitton last week. Yes, the color was for her new movie, The Help, but we're hoping it will serve as a reminder of how good she looked as a ginger. [Just Jared]
Diet Pepsi debuted its new "skinny" can during NYFW to a considerable amount of criticism, so it should come as no surprise that its allegedly retouched ad campaign starring an equally slimmed-down Sofia Vergara is generating a similar clamor. [Daily Mail]

Wireless desktop from Microsoft
Microsoft has launched a new keyboard-and-mouse desktop combo, the Wireless Laser Desktop 7000, and an independent keyboard, the Digital Media Keyboard 3000. Both are designed to complement Vista-based PCs, in the sense that they give quick access to Flip 3D.
The Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 features an ultra-thin Comfort Curve keyboard; Comfort Curve is a design that's been much appreciated over the past few years -- it has a slight (six-degree curve) that makes typing more comfortable. The keyboard features a Vista Aero-inspired translucent design and three "Floating" My Favorites keys, meaning the user can push and hold a key to assign it to the current destination (such as a local folder or a Web site).
The rechargeable mouse of the Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 set has a horizontal charging station that provides a sturdy base; there's a battery status indicator that lets users know when it's time to charge the device. The 2.4 GHz wireless communication frequency means users can expect virtually no interference. In addition, the set is capable of frequency-hopping in the case of interference being encountered. The range for the mouse is as much as 30 feet.
The Digital Media Keyboard 3000 gives users one-touch access to photos and to Windows Media Player. It also has keys for zooming in.
The Wireless Laser Desktop 7000 will retail in the US in April for around $130 (Rs 5,000 approx) while the Digital Media Keyboard 3000 will retail in June for about $30 (Rs 1,200).

Williams and Frank McCullough, one of the paper's two managing editors, agreed at the outset of the gubernatorial campaign to monitor the coverage inch by inch to ensure that both candidates were covered fairly and equally. The paper warmly endorsed Nixon but also praised Brown's accomplishments in the same editorial.
Nixon, by all accounts, was stunned by the turnabout. When he lost, he delivered a diatribe that would long haunt him, bitterly denouncing the press coverage — by which, it was widely realized, he meant The Times — and promising, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."
It's true that in 1958 Norman Chandler had promoted Williams, a 27-year Times veteran, to the top editor's job and had given him instructions to initiate a more aggressive and evenhanded approach to the news. But the newsroom was riddled with hacks and Norman Chandler was unwilling to make sweeping personnel changes or to approve the expenditures necessary to effect significant improvement.
His son was perfectly willing, indeed eager, to do and spend whatever was necessary to achieve journalistic respectability. Otis and Williams — "perhaps the ablest newspaper editor of his generation," in Halberstam's words — became a formidable team.
A 'Most Remarkable' Revolution
Within four years, Time magazine and others were routinely mentioning The Times as one of the three or four best newspapers in the country.
In a cover story on Chandler in 1967, Newsweek said, "In the six years since his father made him publisher of The Times, Chandler has staged one of the most remarkable palace revolutions in U.S. journalism.
"To put together his galaxy of star reporters, Otis Chandler employed what in much of the newspaper business amounts to a secret weapon — money."
The annual news department budget at The Times was $3.7 million when Chandler took over. His first year, he increased it 45%. By the time he left the publisher's office, it had increased tenfold during his tenure.
"We're going to spend as much money as it takes to be the best newspaper in the country and I mean, specifically, [better than] the New York Times," Chandler said in remarks to the paper's Washington Bureau in the mid-1960s.
The booming Southern California economy helped immeasurably, of course. So did the shutdown in January 1962 of the Mirror and the Examiner, the morning Hearst newspaper.
With the Mirror still losing money, it had been Chandler who wanted it closed, and his father had reluctantly concurred. When the Hearsts and Chandlers agreed to fold the two papers, The Times acquired a monopoly in the increasingly lucrative morning market, while Hearst's Los Angeles Herald-Express (renamed the Herald Examiner) was left with a monopoly in the increasingly problematic afternoon market.
The agreement made sense financially for The Times, but it proved to be a boon in another way as well. Under Chandler's direction, The Times scrambled to hire the best of the reporters and editors from the two defunct papers.
Seldom has a newspaper had such an opportunity — to meld the best of three staffs. Thomas, who was among the editors brought over from the Mirror, said he believed that the windfall of local talent was as responsible for The Times' subsequent success as the hiring of big guns from the East.
"You transformed the entire staff," he said, "and the whole place had a totally different attitude."
Within a few years, The Times had a 2-1 lead over the Herald Examiner in advertising revenue, which provides about 80% of the income for most newspapers. The Hearst paper was subsequently hit by a devastating strike and ceased publication in 1989.
Chandler was both more willing than most publishers to reinvest the paper's rising profits in editorial improvements and more visionary in his approach to newspapering. He foresaw the sprawling megalopolis that Los Angeles and its neighboring counties would become, and he wanted The Times to be the dominant paper "from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border."
He started the Orange County edition to serve the burgeoning population there — the first such satellite plant for any metropolitan daily in the country.
Concerned by the growing competition from television, Chandler urged his editors to transform the paper into a regional daily newsmagazine that placed a high premium on analysis, interpretation and good writing — not just covering the day's events but putting them in context and doing so in a lively and compelling fashion.

The Best Free Online Photography Courses and Tutorials
Gautam Tambay · Jul 03, 2014
Given my interest in lifelong learning and skill-development, I often ask people which new skills they're looking to learn. The most common response? "I want to be a better photographer".

China-Malaysia developers plan 5,000-acre man-made island off Johor
by ng bei shan
Yuen(pic): 'We are still very confident with Malaysia's fundamentals
Yuen(pic): 'We are still very confident with Malaysia's fundamentals
SEMENYIH: The property slowdown in China and Hong Kong is not a deterrent for China's property developer Country Garden Holdings Co Ltd.
The company, together with Johor's economic development arm, Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor (KPRJ), have planned for a development over 5,000 acres (2,023.43ha) of reclaimed land in a project spanning more than 30 years.
The project, which will include a man-made island, will be near the second link in Johor and a study on the matter was done more than a year ago.
In an interview with StarBiz, Country Garden's regional president for Malaysia project Kayson Yuen said the China-based company had studied the mega project, known as "Forest City", for more than a year before it decided to invest in it.
"We decided in the investment because the land cost was reasonable. I cannot remember the exact price but we have committed towards the project," he said.
Yuen also stressed that the slowdown in China did not have any impact on their overseas ventures.
"This is because we are able to collect a bigger deposit for our projects in China and this helps with cash flow," said Yuen.
In March this year, StarBiz reported that the Hong-Kong listed company was joining hands with KPRJ to build a massive man-made island near Pendas, Johor, for luxury homes.
"This will be a massive mixed development and the investment and commitment shows our confidence in the Malaysia market," he said, adding that it had hired local contractors for the reclamation works and engaged an Australian consultant who had reclamation experience at Sentosa Island, Singapore.
The man-made island that had started works, however, raised eyebrows due to environmental concerns, among others.
Country Garden intended to announce the project in March but held it back due to the incident of the missing flight MH370.
Yuen conceded that the aviation mishap, which involved many passengers from mainland China, had affected sentiments of home buyers from that country but he was quick to acknowledge that the political rapport between China and Malaysia was strong and would help bring back relations to normalcy in time.
"It is only a matter of time before the confidence level of Chinese buyers recovers. We are still very confident with Malaysia's fundamentals," he said, adding that the company had studied this new market for a long time before penetrating into the country.
Malaysia is Country Garden's maiden overseas venture. But it is no stranger, having made headlines with its massive project in Danga Bay, Johor, that is estimated to have a gross development value of RM18bil.
In August 2013, Country Garden attracted attention when it announced the sale of 6,000 out of its 9,000 units of condominiums on its development in Danga Bay. It attracted attention because a project of such a scale had not been seen in Malaysia.
It prompted allegations that the high take-up rate was due to huge discounts offered by Country Garden. There were reports that it even offered "buy-one-free-one" for its buyers from China.
Yuen rubbished speculation that the company employed a "buy-one-free-one" approach to lure buyers.
"People who made those claims do not have knowledge of the property market. There is no logic in it," he said.
Apart from Johor, Country Garden also has projects in Selangor. In the Klang Valley, it plans to launch the project in Serendah with its 55:45 joint-venture partner Malaysia Land Properties Sdn Bhd (Mayland) this year.
The 67.58ha project has a gross development value (GDV) of RM1.5bil.
Its other project in Selangor is known as Diamond City in Semenyih. The RM2bil project, which was launched officially over the weekend, received overwhelming response with some 60% of the offered units sold.
Country Garden Properties (M) Sdn Bhd managing director Chai Keng Wai, who also represents Mayland, said he was confident that the remaining units would be fully taken up in "a few weeks' time."
He said people had booked most of the units since the soft launch of the project last year.
Prices for its link houses, bungalows and mansions range from RM378 psf to RM430 psf while built-up sizes start from 2,300 sq ft to 8,600 sq ft.
The first phase of Diamond City sits on a 40ha tract and counts a clubhouse, a Spanish-style commercial street and an infinity pool as some of its facilities. Its selling points include its Spanish-inspired design as well as ready-built show village and amenities.
Country Garden is one of the top 10 developers in China and has more than 20 years of experience in township development.

Today, I'm hopping on a plane and heading to Ecuador's hermoso capital city Quito for a dear friend's wedding. In addition to comfy walking shoes (I plan to do a lot of solo exploring) and my trusty passport, here are some of the travel must-haves I'll be stashing in my carry-on:
1. Oscar de la Renta Something Blue
According to our friends at The Knot, it's a faux pas to attend a wedding empty handed. With that in mind, I'm packing this timeless scent to hand over to the bride-to-be on the big day. Inspired by the iconic designer's silk and lace wedding gowns, the refined blend has sparkling notes of mandarin, linden blossom, and bourbon vanilla.
I love brands with a good back story, and it doesn't get much better than Harvey Prince. Here's the Cliff's Notes version: brothers Shaan Hathiramani and Raj Hathiramani create a scent for their mother; mom loves scent; scent explodes into an international fragrance business. Sheesh, the best present I ever gave my mom was an iPad.
Beyond making legions of kids feel like inadequate parental parent-gifters, Harvey Prince is all about creating functional fragrances. (Read: scents that do more than smell nice.) Their first creation, Ageless, features notes designed to make you feel more youthful; Eau Flirt sneakily includes ingredients proven to attract the opposite sex; and Hello has layers of optimistic citrus and florals.

Plasma Electrolysis
'Cold Fusion' Moves Closer to Mainstream Acceptance
A potential new energy source so controversial that people once regarded it as junk science is moving closer to acceptance by the mainstream scientific community. That's the conclusion of the organizer of one of the largest scientific sessions on the topic -- "cold fusion" -- being held in the Moscone Center during the 239th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). - ScienceDaily (Mar. 22, 2010)
Plasma electrolysis is comparable to cold fusion. The Japanese Hokkaido University Plasma electrolysis experiment has achieved mind boggling results. Their conclusions: current efficiency is 8000% compared to the input!
Mizuno, T., T. Ohmori, and T. Akimoto. Generation of Heat and Products during Plasma Electrolysis.
Ask yourself why your local university isn't telling you about the following - Hydrogen Evolution by Plasma Electrolysis in Aqueous Solution by Tadahiko MIZUNO. Ã, Tadashi AKIMOTO, Kazuhisa AZUMI. 1, Tadayoshi OHMORI. 2,. Yoshiaki AOKI .
This experiment has also been performed by JL Naudin.
JLN Labs Replicate Experiment
Many others have reproduced this reaction. Some have recently been featured on the 60 minutes program.
Cold fusion has been replicated by hundreds of world class laboratories, including several in the Navy, Los Alamos and national labs in the U.S., France, Italy, China and India, and at dozens of corporations including Mitsubishi, Toyota and Amoco. Hundreds of peer-reviewed papers in mainstream journals have been published describing these replications.
One must read some of these papers before commenting on this research. You will find a bibliography of 3,000 papers, and the full text of more than 500 papers, including ones from the institutions listed above here: LENR-CANR - Jed Rothwell, Librarian
The results of their experiments show that this process can provide free clean power. David Kubiak explains:
"The term "cold fusion" has generally been replaced by "solid state fusion", "low-energy nuclear reactions" or "nuclear reactions in condensed matter". But the principles are still the same — a fusion reaction produced at normal temperatures using hydrogen-loving metals such as palladium or titanium. - Source
Cold fusion has a history of suppression and stagnation:
This talk was presented on Nov. 1, 2005 in San Francisco, California at the International Congress on Nanotechnology by New Energy Times editor and New Energy Institute executive director, Steven B. Krivit.
The first part of this talk summarizes the political history of mainstream science's failure to recognize cold fusion both as a legitimate science and as a possible new source of energy. It explains how, in 1989, mainstream science threw out the baby (the excess heat) with the bath water (the botched Fleischmann and Pons theory and neutron claims). The second part of the talk briefly reviews three experimental studies in cold fusion.
It has been proven that cold fusion it is not a fraud. The technology has since been replicated by many labs around the world, so why haven't you heard about it? Source.
Researchers at a US Navy laboratory have unveiled what they say is "significant" evidence of cold fusion, a potential energy source that has many skeptics in the scientific community.
The scientists on Monday described what they called the first clear visual evidence that low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR), or cold fusion devices can produce neutrons, subatomic particles that scientists say are indicative of nuclear reactions. "Our finding is very significant," said analytical chemist Pamela Mosier-Boss of the US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego, California. -Source
Panacea France recently conducted an educational Cold Fusion conference. The popular conference was presented by Professor Jean Paul Biberian, Physics Dept., Luminy University of Aix-Marseille, one of the worldwide experts of this subject who are often unknown by the audience. The unexpected intervention of a group of 4 actors added an entertaining and interactive dimension during improvised scenes, sometimes playing the role of "elementary particles" in order to explain the "atoms hooked" reaction.
The topics included: What is the nuclear fusion? – History of cold fusion – The prototype with palladium – The international network of researchers – The scientific results – The birth of a new physics – The potential applications – The positive impacts on the environment - Transmutations in a metal – Magnetic monopoles – Physics anomalies observed during important industrial accidents – Problem and track to develop the research on cold fusion – Nuclear waste disposal.
Yet none of today's faculties are aware of this science, and neither is the general public as a whole.
Plasma and fusion technology is already well establshed in the Black Light Power company process. However there are still no energy applications in use, nor wide spread faculty awareness of the process.
Black Light power cell- Source
Above is plasma, called an rt-plasma formed with a low field (1V/cm), at low temperatures, from atomic hydrogen generated at a tungsten filament and strontium which was vaporized by heating the metal. Typically requiring very high fields or power, plasma formation under these conditions is extraordinary and there is agreement among experts in the field that this cannot be explained by conventional plasma physics. - Source
Black light power could have had this technology in circulation years ago, however the mainstream curriculum's unwillingness to upgrade their knowledge and/or investigate has prevented any real momentum.
BlackLight Power CEO Randell Mills with the fuel cell which turns water into power.
"Imagine being able to convert water into a boundless source of cheap energy. That's what BlackLight Power, a 25-employee firm in Cranbury, N.J., says it can do. The only problem: most scientists say that company's technology violates the basic laws of physics." -Source
Blacklight Power has also experienced interference in the past. "Black Light Power (BLP)" – the facts provided by the insider Paul LaViolette - show that external forces do not need to do much to ensure their suppression tactics succeed.
Dr Paul Laviolette states: "In the case of Black Light Power Company the cartels have had a long vendetta for the inventor of this process who was able to get plain energy out of plain water, by the Black Light process. With this process, the company was able to demonstrate that a glass of water could produce more energy than would be the case of the same glass filled with gasoline. Black Light filed a few patents on this process. However, just as one of the patents was about to be issued and announced in the patent gazette, to be formally issued within a week or two, one Robert Park started poking fun at it on his website.
"There must have been a form of an email campaign, or contact, at the patent office, which embarrassed the patent office enough to pull the patent (which is actually illegal – to withdraw a patent application which had already been approved to be issued – according to patent law, an invention can be patented if it demonstrably works. Even if it is something new, yet functional, breaking the laws of physics and physicists know it – it still has a right to be patented.)" – Source
Despite this, recently an independent validation of the Black Light power process has been done; BlackLight Power Inc. Announces Independent Replication of New Energy Source.
The proposed public Panacea research and development center is intended to specifically provide security, validation and build consumer awareness and demand of these systems; also to advance education. This educational institute could have prevented all of this from happening and given plasma electrolysis real time momentum.
The proposed Panacea research and development center is intended to serve as a platform for the scientific community to perform verification and advancement of education of the results replicated by JLN labs, Mizuno, T., T. Ohmori, T. Akimoto,Cold fusion and Black light power.
Devices related to Zero point energy have also not been understood due to the unnecessary ignorance of the subject by the mainstream scientific community. Cold and plasma fusion is no different and has suffered due to these very same conditions.
Today the same stagnation occurs: taken from the D2 Fusion web site:
D2 Fusion - A solid-state, low-temperature, non-radioactive nuclear reaction that fuses two heavy hydrogen nuclei into a helium atom and releases enormous amounts of heat. These reactions have also been called Cold Fusion, Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, and Chemically Assisted Nuclear Reactions, as well as the nation's last, best hope to end oil & coal dependence and skyrocketing energy prices.
Based in the Silicon Valley of California, D2Fusion, Inc. has developed an expanding international network of prestigious researchers, scientists, and engineers seeking to deliver practical solid-state fusion energy devices for home and industry. Beginning in late 2005, we shall launch a targeted product development program to deliver proprietary solid-state energy technologies for entry level heat and power sources.
They have since failed to bring their technology to the public! More Informaiton on D2 fusion.
Eugene Mallove
Cold fusion research has also met with violent opposition. Dr. Eugene Mallove was the president of the nonprofit New Energy Foundation, Inc. and held the position of Editor-in-Chief of Infinite Energy Magazine since 1995. Dr. Mallove held a Master of Science Degree and Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from MIT and a Science Doctorate in Environmental Health Sciences from Harvard University.
Dr. Mallove had broad experience in high technology engineering companies including Hughes Research Laboratories, TASC (The Analytic Science Corporation), and MIT Lincoln Laboratory.ince
The LATE Doctor Mallove
Since 1991 he worked as a consultant to U.S. corporations and investment firms doing and planning R & D in new energy. He taught science journalism at MIT and at Boston University, and he was Chief Science Writer at the MIT News Office when cold fusion erupted. Prior to that, he was a top science writer and broadcaster with the Voice of America in Washington, DC. He was also the author of three science books and wrote several science and technology articles for magazines and newspapers.
However, Richard Hoagland received Gene Mallove's "Open Letter to the World" less than 24 hours before Dr. Mallove was brutally killed on May 14, 2004. He set a goal of $500k/year for R&D into new energy technologies in his Universal Appeal for Support for New Energy Science and Technology.
"Dr. Eugene Mallove, is dead. The local police have ruled his death a homicide. At this writing, his killer is (or "killers" are) unknown, and the precise reasons for his brutal killing are equally mysterious. The timing of Gene's death - May 14, 2004, just as his 15-year, literal one scientist crusade to force the world's scientific and political communities to take seriously a revolutionary form of energy that can literally "change the world" was finally about to be vindicated this year, by a reversal of the original negative analysis 15 years ago by the same government agency, the U.S. Department of Energy - makes no sense, regardless of the exact reasons for his murder." - Richard C. Hoagland
In this 5-hour broadcast, (the late) Eugene Mallove shares new energy ideas and concepts for the first four hours, followed by an hour of Open Lines. You -Tube -Dr. Eugene Mallove Pt.1
L.E.N.R. (Popularly known as "Cold Fusion")
Back in 1989, Drs Pons and Fleischmann became briefly famous for inventing a process that releases energy at near-room temperatures, then "infamous" as they were wrongly accused of either "poor science" or "fraud". But interestingly enough, their experiments showing that large and useful amounts of energy can be obtained by "cold fusion" have been successfully replicated over 120 times all over the world, but rarely in the U.S. "for some reason".
This is clearly a viable, working technology that was wrongly attacked by the U.S. mainstream media. Yet when all the facts became known, the media has always refused to retract any of their accusations and generally refusing to mention it even 20 years later. LENR was strongly championed by the late Dr. Eugene Mallove.
There have been several successful devices invented over the last 40 years using plasma energy; such as that by Joseph Papp, and Drs. Paulo and Alexandra Correa. There is little doubt that energy from plasma is a very important technology for our future: High-voltage plasma spark can even make water droplets "explode" and release large amounts of energy
Official scientific studies have confirmed the possibility and strong power, and a coefficiency of performance of more than one (COP+1, meaning 'overunity' or production of more energy than the device's input power ) from the explosion of water using an electric plasma type of arc/spark. Please refer to papers from Pr. Peter Graneau University of Oxford, Gary Johnson Kansas State University, George Hathaway, and Richard Hull.
Water explosion
This video shows that water can explode when ignited with high voltage. The explosion appears to release more energy than was put into it.
Graneau Paper on Water Explosions. Arc-liberated energy exceeds electrical input energy" Paper published in the Journal of Plasma Physics in 2000.
There is A LOT we do not yet know about water. It is an Energy-source that may help save the planet. Furthermore Dr. Kiril Chukanov, Josef Papp, Meyers,kanarev, Focus Fusion and others have developed plasma technologies which are suffering the same plight as those mentioned above. Dr Kirill, like BlackLight power and others, has uncovered an excess energy transformation using a plasma process.
"I built several powerful Quantum Free Energy generators which can produce hundreds of times over-unity! My QFE generators produce quantum free energy without fuel or any primary energy source! This free energy is in form of heat, electricity, and high energy photons. Within two-three months these generators will be available on the world market!" (Chukanov's statement on his website; Sept. 19, 2007)
Kiril Chukanov with his Quantum Free Energy Generator, March, 2007- Source
Dr. Kiril Chukanov demonstrating the "Angelina" series Zero Point Energy Generator, which utilizes microwave-stimulated ball-lightning plasma to generate what Chukanov claims is zero point or free energy.
Dr. Chukanov is the leading researcher in the field of ball lightning. He has done RF excitation in 1994. He has resolved the nature of ball lightning and found how to convert gas into a plasma state and then into a ball lightning state. He has created the world's biggest stable synthetic ball lightning reactor. He has patented microwave excitation. He releases very good information in his patents and has released introductory information on his findings.
The general public is also not aware of the plasma spark plugs which have been available now for over 18 years, yet have never made their way into public hands. Plasma spark plug technology can drastically reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. The first plug below was shown to us by Ian, a resident of the UK:
" I made a ball tipped plug already in 1991. I suppose you are wondering why this was not mentioned years ago. I worked for the Ford Motor Company. I was not employed to develop spark plug technology. I just developed an idea, manufactured it, tested it in Fords. The plug was great and not really any dearer to make. It upset a lot of people higher up. The plug is a double platinum ball tipped spark plug. - This plug never got into public hands." -. Ian
Ian's platinum ball tip spark plug- Available since 1991!
The next plug is called the "FireStorm" spark plug which was developed by Robert Krupa. Tests conducted with the FireStorm plugs showed that they would never wear out. Robert's first FireStorm plug was made in 1996 and he has encountered strong opposition to their introduction and manufacture ever since.
Robert reports that he achieved a 44% MPG increase and reduced emissions by the same percentage as a result of using these plugs. These results are nothing to take lightly. As of today both these plugs have never made it to the production line.
Robert Kupra's plasma spark plug available since 1996!
If you are able to help get these plugs manufactured please contact us. Panacea has conducted an educational video production which shows some background on these plugs and other neglected and suppressed plasma research. Panacea also appeals for help to manufacture these plugs and also offers a solution to alter the adverse political and economic conditions.
Recently the Keshe Foundation announced new plasma reactor technology making it able to extract or absorb CO2, CH4 and other greenhouse gasses directly from air or water, while at the same time creating current and voltage, thus creating electricity day and night. This technology is not understood by mainstream science faculties.
The proposed granted NON PROFIT Panacea research and development center is a realistic way to operate at capacity and get this information out to people. The center ensures that the [faculty] information will be widely spread and thereby can not be suppressed.
The center will provide an avenue to advance education in these and other systems which mainstream faculties remain unaccepting and/or unaware of.
Despite Mizuno, T. T. Ohmori, T. Akimoto, Cold fusion Black Light Power and others mentioned having working available devices, this scientific find has no faculty recognition, and they are further unable to get faculties to present and accept these findings.
All these contributions need a grant-backed research and development environment to flourish and will be submitted into faculty study in the proposed Panaceas research and development center.
If you're a member of the public or a scientific group which can aid in grants for the center or help Mizuno, T. T. Ohmori, T. Akimoto, cold fusion, Black Light Power and others mentioned please contact Panacea.

Ligos has no plans to port the Indeo 5 to the Mac OS X platform. (see http://ligos.com/pdf_docs/Indeo_doc.pdf)
The Apple site describes a workaround though:
You have to reboot into Mac OS 9 (is this available to all Mac OS X users, or only to those who upgraded from 9 to X?) then possibly download the codec from that page.
Another thought that hit my mind was you could try mplayer for mac os x. I believe mplayer was originally developed on linux and is like xanim in that it can use windows dll's to decode videos in a specific codec.
Thanks a lot, I already tried the mplayer, it didn't work. But I downloaded the Indeo codec and it worked on Quicktime in OS9.
Hold on. What if you don't have Mac OS 9 on your Mac? Is there no other solution? I have MPlayer, it didn't work.
No, it won't work.
You'll need to have "Classic" (Mac OS 9) installed.
If you have an Intel Mac - use BootCamp and boot into Win XP, these files play nicely in Windows Media Player.
The "Classic" environment doesn't work with Intel Macs.
Not a Mac-only solution: But I managed to convert all of my older .avi (IV50) footage to MP4 using Need4 Video Converter for Windows (http://need4video.com/). It costs a few bucks - but it enabled my video in the ancient IV50 format to be converted to the more future-proof MPEG4 format. The MPEG4 files are easily displayed in Quicktime on both Mac and PC.
I have vista on my parallels. will it still work? I have really old videos of a beloved family member and want to make sure i don't lose those memories!!
I found a free AVI to MP4 video converter on cnet downloads called AnyVideo Converter and am currently testing it out with my old PC based IV50 avis. It looks like it's going to work out.
The Anyvideo converter worked great: converting an IV50 Indeo avi to mp4. The file size is about 25% of the original (and of course the enlarge quality suffers), but it plays a views perfectly on a Macbook Pro OSX within Quicktime.
The conversion is slow, but if you are converting a bunch of avi files, just throw them on the list and let the program do its work. Just to be safe try one file first and then view. If successful put the rest on the list and let it run.

The women on Princesses: Long Island are no different than the women on any other reality show run by Bravo. They are rich, spoiled, inappropriately gaudy, and totally non-self-aware. This is not a new concept. But these girls ARE sort of different.
Unlike the Real Housewives, these are women in their late 20s and early 30s who live at home with their parents and seem to think that is normal. Really? They are also all Jewish, which may seem not all that offensive to the non-Jews out there, but for those of us who are Jewish? Ouch. It's a cringe-fest.
Because these girls are all stereotypes. Ashlee may be sweet. On the inside. But on the outside she is a spoiled, materialistic girl who wonders why she isn't yet married (none of the rest of us do). These women are stuck in a permanent adolescence when their real one left them behind about a decade ago.
It's weird.
Tonight's big drama was the fight between Casey and Erica, which had apparently been brewing since the two were 15. They are now in their late 20s. We could say grow the eff up, but you know, it wouldn't be reality TV if we did that.
So there they were, ruining Chanel's (oh yes, that's her name) Shabbat dinner in the Hamptons all so they could dredge up the past and fight about some boy they knew when they were kids. Grow up. I mean, seriously. If you can't understand people grow and change after high school, then you really need to get a grip.
Even so, if it really bothers you that much, why agree to go to the Hamptons at all? Or why did Chanel even ask knowing the drama that would ensue? Maybe that was the point. In fact, I am sure that was the point. But manufactured, obvious drama isn't drama. It's just pandering.
This is the overall issue with this show. It's not bringing anything new to the table. It's recycled garbage and it's making these women out to be clowns. It's mocking them without their knowledge. I mean, tell me Amanda has no clue that her incredibly effeminate boyfriend would be called gay by just about everyone who sees the show but her? How could she not know that?
That's the issue.
How could Ashlee (and all the women) not be aware that people would attack their looks and all the silly things they do when they act like spoiled divas ON CAMERA.
This may very well be the future of reality TV, but I say we deserve better. This is so obviously staged, it's exhausting. Do I care that Erica and Casey might kill each other? Sure. But do I buy this level of immaturity and silliness at their age? Nope. Not for a second.
Do you think Princesses is staged?
Image via Bravo
The fact that you sat through this dribble is either scary or impressive, not sure which yet lol. Add this to the list of shows I will never bother looking at, along side every "housewife". Never been a fan of soap operas.... and these just seem like the new version of the evening soaps.
I know plenty of people who haven't moved on past high school MANY years later. But these dopes have signed up for this nonsense, so I'm ok with being entertained by them. My favorite part is how they keep talking about how hot Erica (I think that's her name-- the one pictured above) was in high school. and how she stole everyone's boyfriends. You'd never know it to look at her now! Most of the other women on the show are much prettier than she is. She's sad and desperate and only 28 or so!

I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program
