As I was driving to the hokkien char place behind Tawakal Hospital near Bulatan Pahang, I already thought of the title of the blog post – Kuala Lumpur's Finest.
I don't really try a lot of hokkien char around Kuala Lumpur but, this is my usual haunt if I want a good hokkien char. The one I had in Petaling Street eons ago did not come close to this one. And last night, it tasted just as good. So, I guess I could safely say that, this is the finest hokkien char I ever had in Kuala Lumpur.
File picture from 2005
A fine hokkien char by my definition is that the noodles are not too sticky, it has no chlorinated smell (yellow noodles usually smell chlorinated), not watery smell, generous amount of pork lard, slices of pork, vege and prawns. Eventhough the serving is super oily, the good taste supersedes the oiliness…it tricks the brains so that it could bypass our gag reflex of not wanting to eat something oily. Heh!
Over hokkien char, we spoke of many things and shared some jokes that sent us into horrendous laughing fits. Seriously, it's good to be able to laugh out loud sometimes to release some stress. Haha!
Everyone in the group except me of course, tried to shape up by going to the gym (this is a group of gay men, so what do you expect??), hoping one day they would be as good looking as models. Well, Datin claimed that he had bypassed the phase. What's more important now is that, we all should be taking care of our health. Take our bodies as a machine. If we want these machines to run longer and more efficiently, we gotta do maintenance all the time. Yeah right! Talk about maintaining health over a plate of fried hokkien char laden with pork lard, fried fish cake, deep fried calamari, lor mee, pork paste soup and stir fried lala with chili padi! Not so appropriate eh? Haha! Ok. We will exercise.. tomorrow.
Tong Kee's finest egg tarts
After the sinfully delicious dinner, we went to the "mothership" (datin's house) for some drinks. I bought along some Tong Kee's egg tarts and char siew sou. Again, I could safely say, these are the finest egg tarts in Kuala Lumpur. I think since we don't have Lord Stow's egg tarts here, this would suffice to appease my cravings till I visit Macau again! So, there goes our so called "maintenance" for our bodies. We were also treated with some delicious Arnott's cookies from Melbourne. Datin baked some really nice wheat bread with cream cheese and apricots. He's one heck of talented person! And even made my mom some ready-to-cook sauce made from chillis, prawns, minced scallops and turkey ham!
Wheat bread in sesame seed with cream cheese and apricots
When I got home, I washed down all the goodies with a capful of Glögg. I know it's a winter drink.. but what the heck! Another finest all the way from Norway, courtesy from Sailor boy.
I think I shall sleep the day away today and dream dreams. For me, this is definitely a damn fine weekend!
P/S We will miss you, Ryne!

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Dark Horse will celebrate the 200th issue of Dark Horse Presents in February with an 80-page installment that includes the first U.S. publication of "Masks," a short story by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn and veteran artist Dave Gibbons.
The story, about a mother turned masked vigilante, originally appeared in April as part of The Guardian's celebration of the opening of the "Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the U.K." exhibition at the British Museum. "Masks" marks Flynn's comics debut.
Steve Rude has debuted the painted cover for his upcoming collaboration with Jerry Ordway on DC Comics' digital-first Adventures of Superman — a 10-page story featuring none other than OMAC.
In his fan newsletter, the veteran article explained that his editor offered him several scripts, "but it wasn't until we settled on something specifically catered to 'The Dude Mentality' — with characters most memorable to the 60's and 70's — that things finally clicked. And what would fit the Dude mentality? How 'bout OMAC? Of the One Man Army Corps? As created by the great Jack Kirby back in '75?"
But how did Rude connect with Ordway, well known for his runs as both an artist and a writer on DC's The Adventures of Superman print series?
"Jerry submitted his script and we all loved it," Rude said of his DC Digital First debut. "And after a hour or two of of finely tuned script discussion over the phone one afternoon, he and I were able to up the dramatics even further on the cool-meter."
As for that cover: "Finally, I should mention that though DC's budget didn't permit the rates normally required by the Dude to paint this issues cover – I painted it anyway. Such sacrifices does one make in the name of proper presentation."
Ordway and Rude's Adventures of Superman story, "Seeds of Destruction," is scheduled to premiere April 14 at DC Digital First.
DC Comics has announced a new lineup for its digital-first series Adventures of Superman that includes a collaboration between veterans Jerry Ordway and Steve Rude.
No stranger to the Man of Steel, Ordway was a staple of DC in the 1980s and '90s known for his runs as artist, writer-artist and then writer of The Adventures of Superman and writer-artist of Superman. And while mostly closely associated with his own Nexus, Rude also has a past with the Last Son of Krypton: He illustrated the 1990 miniseries World's Finest and the 1999 crossover The Incredible Hulk vs. Superman.
Ordway and Rude's story, "Seed of Destruction," appears April 14.
The other creators in the March and April lineup are: Joe Keatinge, Ming Doyle and Brent Schoonover with "Strange Visitor," Part 1; Keatinge, Doyle, David Williams and Al Gordon with "Strange Visitor," Part 2; Keatinge, Tula Lotay and Jason Shawn Alexander with "Strange Visitor," Part 3; Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro with the one-part "Mystery Box"; and Steve Niles and Matthew Dow Smith with the one-part "Ghosts of Krypton."
New chapters of Adventures of Superman are available each Monday at DC Digital First.
Summer is officially over, so this is a little late, but I've been meaning to talk about a certain arc from the summer of 1993. It was the height of the speculator bubble, when everything came with cover enhancements, trading cards, unfortunate hairstyles and/or superfluous pouches.
For many DC Comics readers, 20 years ago was also the summer of "Reign of the Supermen!" That's not necessarily enthusiasm — the exclamation point was part of the title, which in turn was inspired by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's early proto-supervillain story, "The Reign of the Superman." The third (and by far the longest) chapter of the "Death of Superman" saga began with teasers at the back of Adventures of Superman #500, published around April 15,* and ended with Superman Vol. 2 #82, published around Aug. 26.** Those four and a half months may not seem like much, but they saw 20 issues of the four regular Superman books (including Action Comics and Superman: The Man of Steel) spread over 20 weeks. In fact, "Reign" was front-loaded, with all four titles marking the official start of the arc on April 29 or so, two weeks after Adventures #500. That meant there were some weeks without a new installment, and those were sometimes hard to take.
"Reign of the Supermen!" is not the greatest Superman story ever memorialized in print. On one level it is very much a product of its era. However, for the Superman books, that era was energized not just by the efforts of their creative teams, but by the overarching framework the books had developed. While "Reign" wasn't the only big DC event of the summer — for one thing, the debut of DC's imprint Milestone Media has much more historical significance — it's a reminder of the ebbs and flows of serial superhero storytelling, and it remains instructive today.
Warning: This is a very long post, because I think there's a lot of background to be explored.
In news that will surprise no one, I enthusiastically add my voice to the chorus advising comics companies to give Jerry Ordway work. Mr. Ordway represents, for better or worse, a particular style of superhero storytelling. His detailed, textured work is both realistic and stylized. He's also become associated with a traditional approach to superheroes, mostly by drawing the Golden Age characters and their descendants. Similarly, his modern-day Superman and Marvel Family work gave those books a pretty "classic" look.
In fact, for a long while Jerry Ordway helped define Superman. He was an original contributor to the 1986 John Byrne-led revamp, penciling Adventures of Superman first for writer Marv Wolfman and then for Byrne. When Byrne left, he took over writing Adventures before moving over to the main Superman book. In one way or another, he was involved with the Superman titles from 1986 through 1993, when he started working on Captain Marvel in the Power of Shazam! graphic novel.
"I am thrilled to be well remembered, and respected in the comic book community, and to have fans willing to pay me to draw commissions, but I got into comics in order to tell stories, not to draw custom art. I still feel vital, and still want to be at that table. Do I think DC comics owes me anything? Yes and no. I understand that no company owes anything that isn't contractually stipulated, but in my heart, I think I deserve better than being marginalized over the last 10 years. I'm not retired, I'm not financially independent. I'm a working guy with a family, working for a flat page rate that hasn't changed substantially since 1995. I may have opportunities at smaller companies, companies that pay less per page than I made in 1988, with no royalties or ownership of any kind. I'm not at all looking down at that, but it is hard to reconcile, as I can't work faster, and refuse to hack my work out to match the rate. I have pride in what I do, and always have. As to my part in the history of DC for the past 33 years, I was a highly visible and successful part of it, not a minor footnote. […] all I ask is for some of the same consideration my generation of creators and editors gave to the older guard in the 1980's. My work is still sharp, my mind is still full of stories to tell, and I'm still willing to work all hours of my day to meet my deadlines. Why am I out of work from the publishers? Why are my friends, people who turned in great work, worthy of hardcover and trade paperback reprints, not able to get work?"
– veteran artist and writer Jerry Ordway in an essay titled "Life over fifty," lamenting the lack of regular work from DC Comics, where he once worked on such titles as Adventures of Superman, All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and The Power of SHAZAM!
Mimicking comics in more ways than one, Warner Archive is offering a variant cover to its upcoming release of Shazam!: The Complete Series. The standard cover features a photo collage of the series' main actors (see below), but the variant will have artwork by Jerry Ordway, creator of DC's well-regarded Power of SHAZAM! series from the late '90s.
It's pretty smart marketing, too, because according to Super Hero Hype (who've confirmed with Warner Archive), the Ordway cover is only available to those who pre-order the series before its release date on Oct. 23. A lot of older fans have fond memories of watching the live-action show over a bowl of Fruity Pebbles on Saturday mornings, but haven't seen it since and don't know if it's as good or fun as they remember. Younger fans don't know what it's like at all. Waiting to hear some buzz by others who've seen the new DVDs before spending $34.95 on the set is a reasonable strategy, but the Ordway cover makes it more enticing to go ahead and plunk down that $35 on a blind buy. Fortunately, we have more than a month to make up our minds.
Warner Archive isn't so cruel as to make this the only way to get the art from Ordway's cover, though: The Warner Archive podcast has a promotion going where you can get a poster version for free.
Different interpretations aren't a problem for Batman, who's taken on everything from Adam West and Bat-Mite to Frank Miller and Kelley Jones. Same goes for Wonder Woman (the original Marston/Peter crusader, Gail Simone's steely warrior, and the current Brian Azzarello/Cliff Chiang monster-killer) and Aquaman (Ramona Fradon, Jim Aparo, Peter David). Likewise, each new Robin, Flash and Green Lantern puts a different spin on the core concept.
And yet, among all the elasticity of DC's superhero line, Superman stands out as somewhat inflexible. More and more I am becoming convinced that there can be only one valid interpretation of Superman. That interpretation might work for a variety of storytelling styles, but the character at its core must fundamentally be the same.
For starters, let's run down the list of everything the main-line Superman — the character, not necessarily the stories in which he appears — is not. Superman is not arrogant, manipulative, cruel, boastful … well, you get the idea. I'm not rewording 1 Corinthians 13 here, but that's not a bad place to start when thinking about Superman's motivations. "Love never fails," begins the New International Version translation of verse 8, and that's pretty much the idealist at the heart of Superman, isn't it? Superman never fails, not because of invulnerability or super-strength or heat vision, but because his indomitable faith in the goodness of humanity keeps him going.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading? Today our special guest is Tim Seeley, whose work you may know from Hack/Slash, Bloodstrike, Witchblade, Colt Noble, the upcoming Ex Sanguine and Revival, and much more.
To see what Tim has been reading lately, click below.
This Wednesday marks the return of Peter Krause to monthly comics as the artist on BOOM! Studios' Irredeemable. The series is described by BOOM! as daring to "ask the question: what if the world's greatest hero decided to become the world's greatest villain? A 'twilight of the superheroes'-style story that examines super-villains from the writer of KINGDOM COME and EMPIRE!" Many people, including myself, fondly remember Krause's great run on the 1990s DC series, The Power of Shazam. My thanks to Krause for this email interview regarding his return to monthly fun, as well as BOOM!'s Chip Mosher for facilitating the interview.
Tim O'Shea: This marks the first ongoing title you've done since Power of Shazam–but you've been a busy and happily employed artist outside of comics all these years. How has your non-comics work served to help improve your artistic skills overall and are there certain chances you're now willing to take–or visual experiments you want to try now that you never would have considered earlier in your career?
Peter Krause: Wow…what a great opening question. I suppose there are some chances I'd be willing to take, but I'm not sure if I can point to the non-comics work specifically as the reason. After a time, I think you get a bit more comfortable in your own skin, and you're not chasing the artistic flavor of the month. You can be a bit more confident in the decisions you make.

YouTube is full of nutty videos made by kooky motherfuckers detailing unbelievable conspiracies, many of them involving a shadowy and ill-defined group called the "Illuminati".
Lemmino of YouTube channel Top 10 Memes has produced one of the most even-handed and hilarious videos about the history of the actual Bavarian Illuminati and the subject of Illuminism in general that I've ever seen.
He touches on several important points, quickly debunks most of the conspiratorial bullshit associated with Illuminism, touches on RAW's role in the whole thing, and makes me laugh several times.
Watch it. School yourself. And get a few laughs.
Top 10 Memes
Every year around this time my appetite for all things supernatural increases to a staggering degree. In search of spooky shit that happens to be close to me geographically I usually resort to Google searches for terms like "occult", "spooky", and "haunted", affixed to various nearby locales. Sadly, I rarely find anything new, exciting, or of great interest.
A couple years back I happened to search for "witchcraft" here in Springfield, Massachusetts when I was introduced to the tale of Mary and Hugh Parsons. The pair were two of the earliest cases of folks unfortunate enough to be accused of witchcraft here in Massachusetts, specifically my home base of Springfield, during the mid-1600's. Both were acquitted of the charges of witchcraft, but Mary, having fallen into mental instability, wound up incarcerated on charges that she'd murdered her young child, and died in prison awaiting trial.
Shortly thereafter I came across another Mary Parsons, this one married to Cornet Joseph Parsons, one of both Springfield and nearby Northampton's "founding fathers", who was also accused of witchcraft prior to the Salem "witch hysteria" of 1692. I don't know if it was coincidental that both women were named Mary Parsons, or if one case influenced the other, but this Mary Parsons, Mary (Bliss) Parsons, was accused of witchcraft twice, and acquitted both times! Eventually whatever negative associations that may have followed the Parsons name fell away, and her family, which was quite wealthy, went on to produce civil servants and notable citizens across the region for generations.
This gave me pause, as I knew all too well that the parents of noted rocket scientist, occultist, freethinker, and witchcraft enthusiast Jack Parsons (born Marvel Whiteside Parsons on October 2, 1914, in Los Angeles, California) originated here in Springfield, Massachusetts. His mother Ruth Virginia Whiteside being the daughter of Walter Hunter Whiteside who ran the Stevens-Duryea automobile corporation, the first American firm to build gasoline powered automobiles. While his father Marvel H. Parsons came from a family who was regarded as having played a role in founding the city and had money in real estate and the Eastern States Refrigeration Company.
Could it be that it was just a coincidence that this man, with roots in Springfield, and a deep connection to the occult, was also a Parsons? Was it possible that Jack Parsons, who was born, lived, and died 3,000 miles away in California, was actually a descendant of Mary Bliss Parsons, accused and acquitted of witchcraft in Northampton and Springfield, Massachusetts three centuries before? These questions started to nag at me, so I decided to do the simple thing and trace the lineage of this scientist and student of Aleister Crowley. I started with Jack's father Marvel H. Parsons and clicked through the family trees, from son to father, until I arrived at Cornet Joseph Parsons, husband of none other than Mary (Bliss) Parsons! Jack was her direct descendant!
The story of Mary (Bliss) Parsons, not to mention the other Mary Parsons, are rarely spoken of here in Western Massachusetts. There are no monuments or memorials to these women, nor are people regaled with tales of the witchcraft that haunted the woods of the region in those earliest days of European settlement. They're largely unremembered, and they, and similarly eldritch topics, just aren't discussed. It seems as though Springfield and the surrounding area would rather bury any connections this region might have to the strange, weird, spooky, or occult. But is it possible that within the Parsons clan the story remained alive long enough to inspire a young Jack Parsons?
It's been alleged that he began experimenting with witchcraft, supposedly attempting to summon The Devil, while still in high school. And, while a member of Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis, he became so interested in the iconography of witchcraft that concern was raised among fellow members. Actress and Thelemite Jane Wolfe even wrote to Crowley at one point to complain that "our own Jack is enamored with Witchcraft, the houmfort, voodoo. From the start he always wanted to evoke somethingno matter what, I am inclined to think, as long as he got a result." That sounds like a soul searching for something long-lost, and long-lusted-after, but long-unattainable as well.
Could it be Jack was searching for that which his ancestor had already found but was so ruthlessly hounded for? Did he, in addition to making scientific breakthroughs in rocketry, actually re-discover the lost lore? Sadly, we'll never know as his life was cut short in a fiery explosion, thought to be caused by an accident involving rocketry-related chemicals he stored in his home in Pasadena, California, on June 17th, 1952, at the age of 37. He remains an influential figure in magickal circles, amongst freethinkers, and in the field of jet propulsion. In 1972 the International Astronomical Union named a crater on the Moon in his honor.
So, this is the kind of thing I watch on my phone during trips to and from work on the bus.
Admittedly, I'm a bit too much of a left-handed, anti-authoritarian, do-it-yourself kind of guy to go in for the ritual, theatricality, and group dynamic of ceremonial magick. But I found this instructional video starring author & occultist Carroll "Poke" Runyon, which portrays some rituals of his Golden Dawn spinoff group The Order of the Temple of Astarte. pretty mesmerizing.
Some of the rituals demonstrated in the video are pretty fascinating in their own right. But for me it was Poke himself, who is oddly charismatic, that really held my attention. Dude is like some kind of hermetic Dave Thomas. The kind of guy you want to share a burger with after a long day casting spells. And his booming voice and facial expressions throughout the video are fucking classic!
You don't have to believe in magick or the occult to enjoy this video.
You just have to believe in Poke.
So, it's settled. Sean "JAY-Z" Carter is an illuminatus. And boy is his coming out somethin'! He sets the record about his personal philosophy straight on "Heaven", one of many Timbaland-and-some-other-dudes-produced tracks from his new record 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'. And while some critics see two-facedness, backsliding, or sarcasm in the lyrics, my reading is very straightforward. Or at least as straightforward as that of anyone hip to the traditions and rituals of illumination could possibly be.
Conspiracy theorists screamin' Illuminati
They can't believe this much skill is in the human body
He's 6'2, how the fuck he fit in the new Bugatti
Awww, fuck it, you got me
Question religion, question it all
Question existence until them questions are solved
Meanwhile this heretic, I be out in Marrakesh
Morocco smoking hashish with my fellowship
I confess, God in the flesh
Live among the serpents, turned arenas into churches
Uhh, I'm like Michael recycled
These are not sixteens, these is verses from the Bible
Tell that preacher, he's a preacher, I'm a muh-fuckin' prophet
Smoke the tree of knowledge, drink from a gold chalice
You gotta love it
I arrived at the pearly gates, I had luggage
Meaning I had baggage
Niggas askin' me questions
I don't answer to these busters

I think there is a way for zoos to function in a humane fashion, the fact is that most don't. I was at the Lincoln Park zoo and people were banging on the glass and laughing at the animals. THERE WAS NO STAFF ANYWHERE TO TELL THEM TO STOP!!!! That really bothered me.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Work starts on St. Ann Bridge in Bourg
Published: Saturday, December 31, 2011 at 1:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 30, 2011 at 10:57 p.m.
Construction on a new bridge that will replace the one-lane St. Ann Bridge in Bourg will begin in early January, according to state Department of Transportation and Development officials.
The new bridge is being built beside the existing span, which connects Country Drive and La. 24, Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet said. That means traffic will remain open on the St. Ann swing bridge until it is torn down, Claudet said. Demolition is set for July.
"After that, we'll be without a bridge there for about a year," Claudet said.
The project has been a long time coming. Like many historic swing bridges, the St. Ann Bridge has only one lane, requiring cars to take turns crossing the bayou.
The bridge, built in 1964, is being replaced by the state Department of Transportation and Development at a cost of $4.4 million,
The bridge, which has been declared structurally deficient, will be replaced with a steel swing-span bridge.
The current bridge is just 14 feet wide. The new one will measure 33 feet across.
Contractors began pre-construction work on the St. Ann Bridge in October and have since assembled their materials and driven test piles at the construction site, said Bambi Hall, a Department of Transportation and Development spokeswoman.
Work on the foundation will begin in early January, when the contractor will begin driving piles and pouring concrete for the first phase.
"We will keep the existing bridge open to traffic as long as we can and will give the public plenty of notice prior to closing it down," Hall said.
It will take about 13 months to complete the new bridge.
If all goes according to schedule, the new span will be open to car traffic by August 2013.
But transportation officials warn that the work schedule doesn't take into account hurricanes or other extreme weather that might delay construction.

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Sue Bird led all scorers with 20 points and Candace Parker had 12 points and 10 rebounds Tuesday to lead the two-time defending champion United States to a 119-72 victory over China on the opening day of the Women's World Basketball Championship.
Tina Thompson and Diana Taurasi had 17 points each and Seimone Augustus added 10 as the Americans recorded the most lopsided victory of the opening day.
Earlier in the day, Amaya Valdemoro scored 17 points and led Spain to an 87-57 win over South Korea.
Elisa Aguilar had 15 points, Marta Fernandez added 13 and Ana Montanana chipped in with 12 in the nearby city of Barueri as the Spanish, whose male counterparts won the men's championship earlier this month, overcame 50 percent field-goal shooting by outrebounding the South Koreans 39-18.
In other games, Helen scored with 10 seconds remaining to give Brazil a 71-69 victory over archrival Argentina in Sao Paulo.
Lithuania finally made it into Brazil after being help up in French Guyana because of travel problems but still had to forfeit its first game -- against Australia -- because it didn't arrive in time.
The team, which had been training in Martinique, was forced to fly through French Guyana on Sunday because its scheduled flight to Sao Paulo was canceled. But because of a yellow fever outbreak in French Guyana and the Lithuanian team not being inoculated against the disease, the players were refused entry into Brazil.
After days of diplomatic negotiating and subsequent vaccinations, Brazilian officials waived the normal 10-day quarantine and the team was to arrive in Sao Paulo late Tuesday.
Elsewhere, in Barueri, France defeated the Czech Republic 62-58, Cuba downed Taiwan 75-20, and Russia trounced Nigeria 84-50.
In a late game, Tammy Sutton-Brown had 15 points, helping Canada build an 11-point lead midway through the final quarter. But the Charlotte Sting center fouled out a minute later, and Canada hung on to beat Senegal 65-64.

Hebridean Cruises, which just last month abruptly announced that it would sell half of its two-ship fleet, is now facing insolvency. Effective yesterday, the cruise line has filed for administration, which means it is seeking financial resurrection in the form of a buyer. The affairs, business and property of Hebridean International Cruises Limited and Leisure and Marine Holdings Limited (which owns the line's now-only ship, Hebridean Princess) are now being managed by Ernst & Young LLP.
According to a statement on the line's Web site, no voyages aboard Hebridean Princess have been cancelled, though the Telegraph reports that Ernst & Young has only said the ship would continue this year's programme of cruises. The cruise line lists departures through November 2010 on its site. The statement further says that the company is still accepting bookings for published cruises.
To that end, passengers onboard Hebridean Princess needn't do anything -- at least at this point (it remains to be seen what impact the potential sale of the company or its ship will have on its programme). However, the filing does impact those travelers who were booked to sail on Hebridean Spirit, the sale of which was finalized on 7 April, and which will be converted into a private yacht by its Middle Eastern buyer, according to the Telegraph.
On 19 March, we reported that Hebridean would offer all booked passengers a full refund or the option to transfer to a Hebridean Princess sailing to the Western Isles of Scotland. According to a spokesman for Hebridean, the option to switch to Hebridean Princess still stands. However, passengers who were hoping to receive a refund may not be as lucky. Hebridean now says that "the Joint Administrators are not in a position to refund any customers in respect of the cancelled Hebridean Spirit cruises."
Those customers seeking a refund for a Hebridean Spirit cruise may be protected by the Air Travel Organiser's Licenses (ATOL) and should contact ATOL directly on 020 7453 6350 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or visit this Web site. Customers should also check their travel insurance policy as it may cover the cancellation, though the extent of coverage (complete or partial) will vary by policy type.
So, what's next? According to the Telegraph, there's already a potential buyer; Ernst & Young declined to name names, but the paper reports that it is speculated that recently revived Swan Hellenic, now headed by Lord Sterling (formerly chairman of P&O), might swoop in to save Hebridean.
Hebridean is known for offering country-house style, all-inclusive, luxury cruises. The line has seen many illustrious passengers, including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
We'll keep you posted.

A genius at both comedy and drama, Meryl Streep as an actress is an "intuitive investigator" of the human condition: insightful, powerful, and awe-inspiringly versatile. Here I present my five favorite Meryl Streep performances, in no particular order.
The French have accused Hollywood -- and the United States by extension -- of culture imperialism from time to time but let's face it. You just can't keep good 'ol American pop culture in the armoire anymore.

Would I be the person I am today without Thatcher? Would I have worked as hard as I did at school, not flinch when debating a roomful of men -- or a Fox News host live on air -- without "The Iron Lady" as an example? I doubt it.
Lady Thatcher invited me to her home as the Special Envoy as well as BiH UN Ambassador. The home, conversation, and the tea served was what one would expect: neat, direct, and English.
Unlike Chancellor Merkel of Germany, who has a reputation for only sticking her neck out when confident of victory, Margaret Thatcher sometimes had little choice in the timing of the battles she had to fight.
Donning his famous red and gold armor, he transforms into the invincible Iron Man! Then he flies to 10 Downing Street, where he confronts... "Margaret Thatcher?"
When I was a kid, Thatcher was the headmistress of our country. Her voice, a bellicose yawn, somehow both boring and boring -- I could ignore the content but the intent drilled its way in. I am, safe to say, one of Thatcher's children. How then do I feel on this day of matriarchal mourning?
The world's heart is heavy as we have learned of the death of the most brilliant leader the world has even known - the blessed Margaret. It was the saintly Margaret who rescued Britain from its dire position at the end of the 1970s and restored it to its former glory.
Margaret Thatcher may be best known in the U.S. for her intellectual and personal ties to Ronald Reagan. But despite her ideological closeness with th...

Five women in five very different roles make up the Best Actress category at the Oscars this year. But four of them share one thing: Each had to trans...
It looks like Meryl Streep will have a busy Oscars night: The "Iron Lady" actress was announced as a presenter at the 84th Academy Awards on Tuesday.
People either love or hate Maggie Thatcher, but they are rarely indifferent to her. It's a testimony to Meryl Streep's abilities as an actress that almost everyone who has seen The Iron Lady is united in the belief that it is a career-defining performance.
Few would deny that Margaret Thatcher brought the United States and United Kingdom closer together. As I begin my tenure as British Ambassador to Washington, I look forward to playing my own small part in keeping that relationship in the best possible repair.
The Iron Lady was recently released in the UK, and I was particularly interested in seeing it in London because I know so little about Margaret Thatch...
It's been fascinating to see how critics have reacted to The Iron Lady, a new film inspired by Margaret Thatcher that has been directed by Phyllida Lloyd. Meryl Streep stars as the former British Prime Minister in a script written by Abi Morgan.
She took my elbow, escorting me around... she told me she must show me the blue room, or some room or other as I voiced my confusion over no ice cubes in the gin and tonics. She must have thought me an idiot.
I would argue that the degree of courage Meryl brings to this role is exactly equivalent to the degree of resistance we have to aging as a whole, not only as expressed by popular culture but in the recesses of each of our own hearts.
The poor woman probably doesn't have many years left. Would it have cost anyone their livelihood to wait until her death to reveal her pitiful hallucinations to the world?
Both Margaret Thatcher and Aung San Suu Kyi show extraordinary courage. But their courage is linked to radically different visions of leadership.
Meryl Streep deserves an Oscar for her portrayal of the love match between Britain's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her late husband, Denis.

Will McCain Balance His Tax Cuts For The Wealthy On The Backs Of The Poor?
Our guest bloggers are Ben Furnas, Robert Gordon, and James Kvaal, who are a research associate and fellows at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, respectively.
To his credit, Sen. McCain has begun to talk about the need to address America's "forgotten places" that have been "ignored for long years by the sins of indifference and injustice." But what would Sen. McCain's agenda mean for these forgotten places?
Sen. McCain has proposed more than $300 billion in tax cuts and said that, unlike President Bush, he will pay for these tax cuts by "cutting spending." But he has "failed to give details about what, exactly, [he] would cut." According to an analysis released today, he would need to cut more than $250 billion from spending, above and beyond the spending cuts he has already identified.
Sen. McCain could cut approximately 20 percent from all discretionary programs. Alternatively, he could protect defense spending and cut 40 percent from domestic programs. Either scenario would result in massive cuts in key anti-poverty programs.
Of course, it may be that no president and no Congress would make such dramatic cuts. But if Sen. McCain campaigns on massive tax cuts for the wealthy, he should also acknowledge the enormous harm to "forgotten places" that these tax cuts would ultimately cause.
Read the full analysis here. (Also check out the Wonk Room's Resource Library for a list of other reports we have published so far.)

Delegates in Cleveland answer a nightmare question: Would they take four more years of Barack Obama over a Hillary Clinton presidency?
CLEVELAND—It was a question no Republican here wanted to contemplate.
The query alone elicited winces, scoffs, and more than a couple threats of suicide. "I would choose to shoot myself," one delegate from Texas replied. "You want cancer or a heart attack?" cracked another from North Carolina.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have each been objects of near histrionic derision from Republicans for years (decades in Clinton's case), but never more so than during the four days of the GOP's national convention. Republicans onstage at Quicken Loans Arena and in the dozens of accompanying events have accused President Obama of literally destroying the country in his eight years in the White House. Speakers and delegates subjected Clinton to even harsher rhetoric, charging her with complicity in death and mayhem and then repeatedly chanting, "Lock her up!" from the convention floor.

Mark Carney profile: The 'film star' central banker
- 30 June 2013
- From the section Business
"He's going to tear through London like a lion. He's the guy you want to have at your table at dinner; you want to be on his side of the room at the cocktail party."
Not a rock star on tour, not the actor of the moment, but the incoming Bank of England governor Mark Carney, as described by fellow Canadian and former government colleague Scott Reid.
Likened more than once to Hollywood actor George Clooney, Carney's tidy hair and relaxed smile have helped him become something of a celebrity in his native Canada.
"He's just got it. He's got star quality, and he knows how to use it," says Reid. It is something first noticed when Carney was recruited to the Canadian Department of Finance, while Reid was deputy chief of staff to Prime Minister Paul Martin.
So what can the public, and his colleagues at the Bank, expect from the new man in the top job at the 319-year-old institution?
A very different banker
His appointment has been a break with tradition in many ways.
He is a Canadian, for a start, and as such is the first non-British appointment to the post. He hails from Canada's sparsely populated Northwest Territories where, "rural just doesn't describe it" according to Scott Reid.
He also has a commercial banking, as well as public sector background, unlike his two most recent predecessors who had spent their careers within the Bank and academia.
Mark Carney worked for investment banking giant Goldman Sachs for more than a decade, living in New York before returning to Canada to work for the Finance Department. He then went to the central bank, where he was governor throughout the global financial crisis.
Another difference is the size of his pay packet, which is well above that of the outgoing Sir Mervyn King's salary.
"He's doing things his way," says Reid. "Make no mistake, the move from investment banking to the public sector has been a very deliberate choice. He's got ambitions."
'Image conscious'
The Carney difference also stretches to the way he is with people, says Reid.
"He's extraordinarily charismatic. You just have to look at his news cuttings here in Canada and you can see how much press he gets.
"Then you go to his speeches and you'll find them just as dry as anyone's. They are not motivating, not captivating.
"But it's the way he does things, he takes the time to linger on you... and the public and the press find that very intoxicating.
"He such a fetching figure - but let's not be shy about that. He's conscious of it. He's shrewd when it comes to his image."
Married to an Englishwoman, the 48-year-old's postgraduate education was at Oxford University, where he studied economics.
'Cultural change'
His former tutor during his Masters degree, the economist Peter Oppenheimer, remembers him as an usually neat student.
"He was a typically bright, transatlantic student. Charming and well turned out. That sounds terribly old fashioned, but he wasn't the sort of young man who walked around in torn sweaters."
"Carney was light on his feet, intellectually speaking," he adds, "and he loved England."
But it is not just an anglophile streak which may assist him in his new role, says Oppenheimer. It is his past as a Goldman Sachs banker in New York.
"As a choice for this role, this is interesting. He wasn't an insider, he wasn't an academic economist, and he was a practical banker of a certain kind.
"The really good governors of the post-Second World War period have been people with practical banking experience, such as Gordon Richardson and Robin Leigh-Pemberton. They have been the outstanding governors. More so than Bank insiders, or people with long academic careers."
DeAnne Julius, the US-born economist, and former member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee, agrees.
"Outside experience is important in this job, and as a foreigner, a broader perspective may help. The Bank of England needs a cultural change. This is clear. There's an important internal as well as external dimension in terms of how he needs to lead the bank."
'Governor's eyebrow'
So what should he do with his new job?
Peter Oppenheimer says that he would do well to remember the powers a Bank of England governor has at his disposal.
"The most important thing by far is personal oversight from the governor. The 'governor's eyebrow' it is called.
"Banks and the people who run them must conduct their business prudently and honestly, and if they don't, you sack them.
"Suitable distinguished bankers are not in plentiful supply."
DeAnne Julius agrees that while change is due, he must go cautiously.
"The British economy and the Bank of England are complex institutions, and I think he'd probably be wise to spend a little bit of time learning the job before bringing in any dramatic change."
For Peter Oppenheimer, he would simply welcome the chance to catch up with his former student.
"When the announcement was made of his appointment, he and I had a jolly email exchange, I said well done, and that I hoped that once he was in office I'd be allowed through the door to have a cup of coffee with him, and he assured me I'd be among his first guests. I'm looking forward very much to my invitation."

THANK you, 14-year-old Matthew Marrero, for reminding us that good kids are everywhere. Even if they don't get the same attention that the troubled ones do.
When I visited last week, you were running a sidewalk sale on Cecil B. Moore Avenue between 3rd and 4th streets, near the home you share with your parents and an older sibling.
Money is tight in your family these days. So, for the 10th day in a row, you were selling things you once needed so you could buy the things you need now.
"I've gotta get uniform pants - khaki and royal blue - and two shirts," you said, to be in compliance with the dress code at Penn Treaty Middle School, where you're entering eighth grade. "I need pencils and pens. Books and two binders. Six folders. Two pairs of sneakers - one to wear all the time and one for gym."

Former All Black Stephen Bachop would have called more
attention to his assault charges had he sought continued name
suppression, a media law expert believes.
Former All Black and
Otago first five-eighth Stephen Bachop has been charged with
assaulting his partner after New Zealand's Rugby World Cup
win in October.
All Blacks' captain Richie McCaw has spoken out on an alleged
eye-gouge on him during the Rugby World Cup final, saying he
was surprised Frenchman Aurelien Rougerie wasn't cited for
the incident.
Jerome Kaino's huge contribution to the All Blacks' 2011
campaign was rewarded when the loose forward was named the
Kelvin R Tremain Memorial Player of the Year at tonight's
Steinlager Rugby Awards.
Clermont rugby coach Vern Cotter has confirmed he has been
invited to apply for the New Zealand coaching position
vacated by World Cup-winning coach Graham Henry.
Steve Hansen faces competition from at least two other
applicants for the role of All Blacks coach.
Disgraced All Black Zac Guildford has vowed to stay sober
after touching down on New Zealand soil this morning.
The New Zealand media need to leave All Black Zac Guildford
and his family alone to aid his recovery from alcohol
addiction, the head of the New Zealand Drug Foundation says.
Zac Guildford has reached "rock bottom'' following his
drunken spree in Rarotonga but he can't remember any of the
details of the night in which he is alleged to have assaulted
two people in a bar.
The New Zealand Rugby Union will help Zac Guildford rather
than tear up his contract following an alleged naked, drunken
incident in a Cook Islands bar, NZRU professional rugby
general manager Neil Sorensen says.

Stunningly beautiful story, surely one of the best--if not the best--of Eric's [rofoundly sensitive dramas. Just astonishing.
Rev V
The show description is not for this show (Help Somebody). A depressed man separated from his wife moves to a new town and meets a girl standing in a field of daisies. I like the show, but wish the girls voice have been done differently.
Hmmm... beautiful quaint story
I am a little surprised Robert Dryden, Amanda Plummer and Teri Keane are not also listed. This amazing website is usually very thorough.
Surely one of the show's top five best episodes. Perfectly casted, deliciously performed and the best evidenceof that CBSRMT's single greatest accomplishment — taking nothing from the monumental talents gathered here — is as a showcase for the mesmerizing mind of Elspeth Eric. Everyone knew she was a strikingly beautiful actress; few knew she could write. . If you're taking your first taste of this extraordinary body of work, look for Eric's writing credit and see what you think.

All search numbers are unique and specifically made for ease of navigation. [1].............Introduction [2].........Known Hex Values [2.1]....Using Hex Addresses [2.2]..Known Bugs and Issues [3]......Version Information [4]..................Credits ============================ --------Introduction-------- ============================ [1] Welcome to my Whomp 'EM/Saiyuuki World 2: Tenjoukai no Majin Hex Editing guide! Since my Adventures of Lolo 2 hex editing guide was so popular (how?!), I decided to go ahead and do more guides like it. This time I'm doing a guide for the sleeper title "Whomp 'Em" for the NES, a game that plays very much like Mega Man titles. In Japan, the game was known as Saiyuuki World 2, and I can only imagine that the name change was primarily due to the lack of western familiarity with the "Journey to the West" story (this was before Dragonball and Dragonball Z became popular). They thus changed the protagonist from Son Goku to Soaring Eagle, a Native American warrior, and altered the sprite to match. From a development standpoint, there are no actual differences between the two versions other than a few sprite changes, so the hex values I give you here work for both versions. ============================ ------Known Hex Values------ ============================ [2] The following are hex values I've discovered that are meaningful to gameplay. There is technically only one value that you need to change in order to simply walk through the game, but there are two you will want to change in order to make it a piece of cake: Invincibility and Weapons. The former makes it so you can't be damaged by anything, but requires you to be damaged first before it kicks in. Alternatively, you can use either the Life or the Magic Jar values and achieve the same basic effect. The Weapons value allows you to switch weapons without having obtained them first. This comes in real handy against certain bosses, as I'll describe in the Known Bugs and Issues section, but becomes useless as you advance through the game. In fact, once you get to the final area, you no longer need this value as you have all the weapons you can get. ---------------------------- =====Using Hex Addresses==== ---------------------------- [2.1] 0035: Life -Each heart is worth three points in value, so the legitimate maximum health is 24. As long as the cheat is turned on, life will not be drained when you are hit or walk on damage tiles. 0040: Boss Life -You can modify the life of bosses to make them easier or impossible. Primarily good for practicing and memorizing their patterns. This will not, however, protect from one-hit kills (see [2.2] for more information). 0083: Spear/Pole Extension -This hex determines whether your basic weapon has extended reach from a weapon enhancement item found in most areas. Setting this to value 05 will give you the improved weapon. 0084: Weapon -This allows you to change your weapon at will. There are eight actual weapons in the game including your basic spear/polearm and the final weapon you get at the beginning of the final area. The weapon values are as follows: 00 - Basic Spear/Polearm, 01 - Spear/Pole Whirlwind, 02 - Fire Wand, 03 - Cloud, 04 - Dart, 05 - Ice Crystal, 06 - Web, and 07 - Death Branch. 0098: Magic Jar -The most you can have in a legitimate game is three. There is no real benefit to using this hex if you use the Invincibility or Life hexes, and in fact may be a detriment against some bosses. 0099 + 009B: Arrowhead/Glove -Using the two values separately will not cause the desired effect. Using them together, you will have improved offensive capability. This seems to apply only to your basic attack however. 009A + 009C: Buffalo Headdress/Helmet -Using the two values separately will not cause the desired effect. Using them together, you will have improved defense from attacks. As with Magic Jar, there's no real benefit to using this hex if you use the Invincibility or Life hexes, but there's no real harm either. 009F: Gourd Requirement -This changes the gourd requirement to increase your maximum life. Reducing the value to 01 will give you an increase for each gourd you obtain. Using this method to max out your life will also max out the bosses' life, so its primary use is to make the game more difficult. 0649: Invincibility -This is the hex value that determines how long you remain invincible either after picking up the invincibility item or getting hit. When using this hex, you must first become invincible before it kicks in. Thereafter, as long as you have the value frozen at 01 or higher, you will be perfectly invincible. ---------------------------- ====Known Bugs and Issues=== ---------------------------- [2.2] There are lots of bugs and issues you can come across while hex editing this game. I couldn't even go through all the possible values within each hex to report just what each little bug could be. I can tell you the basics though and you can experiment from there if you wish. Feel free to email me any bugs you find and would like listed - I will credit anyone who supplies information. 0035: Life -Setting this hex to value 82 or higher will cause some strange looping glitch that basically causes instant death the moment you are hit. If you have any Magic Jars left, they will be consumed before you are forced to continue or end the game. -Cool note: there is no graphical glitch associated with overflowing the natural limit of 24. 0040: Boss Life -If you set this to value 01 and attack with any damaging weapon, you will automatically win. However, since the boss still has life according to the game's system, the weapon item will only materialize and not arc to its usual landing point. In the event that it does, grabbing the item will freeze the game unless you've turned off the hex. -This hex does not protect against one-hit kills no matter what you set the boss's life to. See the bug list for the Weapons hex for more details. 0083: Spear/Pole Extension -I haven't noticed any particular bugs related to this hex. If you find any, please email me so that I may add it to this list. 0084: Weapons -Whenever you change weapons using this hex, the sprite will still resemble the most recent weapon you've legitimately switched to, albeit generally go through a palette swap. -Attempting to switch weapons while this hex is active will cause the game to freeze. Changing the value itself or deactivating the hex will prevent this issue. -Overflowing the value will come up with a lot of different glitches. One value was really interesting in that after I used it in-game and got hit, it proceeded to act as though I had defeated the final boss and was going through the cutscene before freezing entirely. There are also lots of graphical glitches that may occur. In most cases, simply pressing forward into a new section of the area will resolve this issue. A reset will also work too, though you would obviously have to start the game anew. -For those of you familiar with Mega Man 2 specifically, you will love this amazing little bug I discovered while testing the weapons against bosses. For the bosses in Sacred Woods, Fire Test, and Secret Cliff, switch to the weapon that they would give you for defeating them and attack them with it. The result: a one-hit kill. If you were thinking Metal Man from the start, give yourself a cookie for knowing your classic NES trivia. -Somewhat related to the previous point, albeit a bit different, the Death Branch only works against the bosses in the other areas. Against the Ice Ritual boss, it takes away just one orb of life, as it does against the final boss. Against the Magic Forest boss, it takes away one and a third orb of life (assuming you don't increase your max life at all, you can defeat it while it's in its cocoon form just before it hatches into its butterfly form). And, ironically enough, against the Water Test boss it will score a one-hit kill. 0098: Magic Jar -Trying to increase the value while the hex is active and you have already set it to a value of 03 or higher will cause the emulator to crash. You can, however, set it to any value you want initially and keep it there, or if you want to turn it off and still have the jars, make sure you use one before deactivating the hex so the game registers the value of the Magic Jar hex. If you set it to FF, you will have 255 Magic Jars, but after deactivating it you will have 254. 0099 + 009B: Arrowhead/Glove -I've only encountered a small graphical glitch where the item will appear over the character's head if only the 99 hex is active. Other than that I can't seem to identify any bugs or issues resulting from the proper use of these hexes. 009A + 009C: Buffalo Headdress/Helmet -As with 99/9B, just a small graphical glitch when 9A is the only active hex. 009F: Gourd Requirement -I encountered some seemingly random crashes and freezes while testing this and can't seem to get a consistent cause. Additional information from readers would be helpful, but until then it's just listed as a known issue. -If you don't deactivate the hex before completely maxing out your life, it will list a large hex value on the pause screen where it would otherwise say "00" (I got a value in the A- range when I tested this). 0649: Invincibility -As with 9F, I came across a few random crashes and freezes while testing this. It seemed just as inconsistent, but were also fewer in frequency. ============================ -----Version Information---- ============================ [3] Version 1.00 - Initial release version; contains all necessary information; updates will generally be used for clarification and grammatical corrections, but information found to be missing or incorrect may be updated to reflect more accurate information. ============================ -----------Credits---------- ============================ [4] This guide is (c)opyright 2012 by Louis Boiko (a.k.a "MASTERNO" on GameFAQs).

Celebrity Chekhov (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Q: What do Tiger, Paris, Lindsay, Alec, and Oprah have in common with the enduring characters of Anton Chekhov?
A: Love, loss, pride, yearning, heartbreak, renewal, transcendence: the very stuff of life.The immortal stories of Anton Chekhov have long entranced readers with their insights into the universal truths of human behavior . . . but you've never read them quite like this.

-L Magazine
"Nothing short of brilliant. . . . you can plant it proudly on your bookshelf."
-Daily Candy
"Ben Greenman's Celebrity Chekhov might be the first literary mashup that actually adds to our understanding of the original work."

This article reviews recent progress in material flow analysis and its use in providing resource productivity indicators and is based on developments in Japanese policy toward a sound material-cycle society and in international forums such as within the Organisation for Economic Development and Cooperation, covering both institutional and methodological issues. Indicators derived from economy-wide material flow accounts such as direct material inputs are useful to demonstrate the absolute size of a physical economy and to reinforce the need to both reduce consumption of natural resources and limit waste generation. Interpretation of material flows as resources and potential environmental impacts is discussed, and linkages between the size of material flows and specific environmental impacts and damage must be further elaborated for use in environmental policy. Lessons learned from the practical use of resource productivity indicators are also discussed. Additional indicators are needed that can be used to evaluate the performance of microeconomic contributors. The need for an integrated approach that links upstream resource issues and downstream waste issues through the 3Rs concept or the circular economy/society concept is attracting increasing attention. Consequently, the accumulation of reliable scientific knowledge and data in this field in a fully international context is essential.
