ROGER'S REMARKSRoger's remarks
I was talking to a few older experienced anglers who were discussing the topic of being a good listener, a lost art that we all agreed was in short supply in today's me oriented world. We are all guilty of not paying attention to what another angler may be saying for a multitude of reasons, but these guys pointed out that most folks are more concerned about giving their opinions, rather than being quiet and learning from a more accomplished fishermen. As one friend who's a good angler put it, you may be listening to what I say, but are you really hearing me?
Now I'm not saying that listening to everyone is what they're advocating, but rather being careful to have some good questions for someone who has actually performed at a high level and making sure you understand what they mean when they answer your question. How many times have you seen someone corner a respected angler and all the guy can do is hardly wait for the good angler to finish answering his so-called question just so he can talk some more about all he knows. Yeah, the guy may be excited to have the chance to talk with an expert, but it's not necessary to prove to him how great an angler he is, it's already painfully evident from the conversation.
Knowing about something is very different than successfully implementing it, and many folks make the mistake of believing that knowledge is all that's needed to succeed. Spanning the gap between the intellectual assent of how something works theoretically and the actual successful field application of a technique are worlds apart. Great anglers have bridged this chasm through hard work and intense study of their sport, just like in other any field of endeavor, and they know the difference.
Since accomplished anglers tend to be students of their trade and have usually paid a high price for their expertise and knowledge. They also have a great respect for what they have learned and treasure it. Sincerely approaching someone like this to find out all you can, usually tells them you are the kind of person who will also treasure the effort it's taken to accumulate the gems of information you are asking them to share. Listening carefully is the hallmark of the right attitude great athletes exhibit.
I just heard about a phenomenon called the Normalcy Bias, and I understand it's a theory that says most folks have a very hard time dealing with something they have never experienced before, or even considering it's possibility, no matter how facts suggest otherwise. Folks will tend to deny anything that could possibly be so different. This is why I think we have a hard time listening as it can challenge our preconceived ideas of what we think our normal is. I admit it is hard to change things you've done all your fishing life. I've found that it's certainly easier to just keep on doing the same things, even when the results suck!
If someone's catching more and bigger fish than you are, or is an established bona fide accomplished fisherman, it might be a real game-changing experience to decide to ask for some help and then really listen to what the guy is telling you-and then go do it. Being humble helps. None of us knows it all!
What's more important: Trying to impress another angler with your knowledge, or learning something new you've never considered before that could change everything for the better in 2012? Can you hear me?

Melanie Lewis of Glory Hole Sporting Goods in Angels Camp reported improved trout fishing with bank anglers at Glory Hole Point or Angels Cove having more success than trollers with Power Bait, Power Eggs and night crawler/marshmallow combinations from the access areas. She said, "It is important that your bait floats, so small hooks, light leader material and a gob of floating bait are necessary." Lewis added that trollers should tie on small flashers or dodgers with night crawlers hanging from 3 to 5 feet behind. Sep's Sidekicks or Micro Minis are excellent smaller dodgers for this presentation. Minnow-like lures fished alone without any flashers have been working, and a tandem Needlefish set-up is another good bet. Lewis advised, "It is very important to use light line when the water is as clear as it is now, and a 3- to 5-foot piece of 4- to 6-pound fluorocarbon will do the trick." The smaller fish are biting on the surface, and the bigger fish are down at 15 to 25 feet. It is very early for kokanee, but there also have been reports of kokanee to 15 inches landed near the surface by anglers targeting trout. Lewis rated bass fishing as pretty good with the fish in their winter haunts at depths from 25 to 65 feet along main lake structure. Shad-patterned plastics on a drop-shot rig or Yamamoto Hula Grubs in natural crawdad colors are working best, but the upcoming stormy weather should bring out the opportunity for a few large fish with big swim baits, such as a Spro BBZ or a Huddleston. Few anglers are targeting catfish, but Lewis advised trying at depths from 35 to 70 feet along deep ledges and main lake points with night crawlers, frozen shad or anchovies. Soaking the baits in Pro Cure scents has increased the number of bites, as well as using a weightless rig on an open bail for less resistance. Bill Heinle of Arnold landed an 8.5-pound catfish this week for the big fish of the week. Crappie and bluegill action is still slow to fair with the best action on small minnows, red worms or mealworms on a slip-float rig at depths from 15 to 25 feet with 4- to 6-pound test. The lake dropped a half foot to 1,049.69 feet in elevation and 82% capacity.

Lake Isabella/Bakersfield area
Bass ** Trout *** Crappie ** Catfish ** Bluegill **
The bass bite remains quiet with experienced fishermen pulling out a few large fish on big plastic worms worked in deep water. Trout fishing is the best thing going with the top action still around the Auxiliary Dam and Piney Point with Chunky Cheese, rainbow/garlic or chartreuse/garlic Power Bait. Another trout plant is scheduled for next week. The 23rd annual Isabella Lake Fishing Derby is set to offer record prizes of over $250,000 this year, and it is scheduled for March 31-April 2.
Applications are available at the Kern River Valley Chamber of Commerce office, local merchants in the Kern River Valley as well as in Bakersfield. Visit www.isabellafishingderby.com to enter and get information. Crappie fishing has slowed down, and anglers have to search the deep water to find the fish holding on structure. The catfish bite is still decent with clams, frozen shad or anchovies from the bank access areas. The lake remained stable at 2,559.81 feet in elevation and 29% capacity. There have been few reports of the upper river, and the trout plants are limited from the Johnsondale Bridge to the inlet of the reservoir. The lower river has been productive to smallmouth bass, catfish and trout, and Pete Cormier of Bob's Bait in Bakersfield said, "Quality rainbows to 4 pounds have been taken on live crickets, night crawlers or salmon eggs." On the local scene, heavy holiday plants in the local reservoirs have pleased bank fishermen with Power Bait, and there have been some larger rainbows in the 3- to 4-pound range have been taken in the smaller impoundments. Buena Vista is gearing up for the Kern County Parks Trout Derby this weekend, and the last plant of the year will occur prior to the derby. Information is available at www.co.kern.ca.us/parks/pdf/trout-derby-2012.pdf. The crappie bite remains good with small minnows. The small local lakes of Truxton, Woollomes, Ming, Hart Park and the Park at River Walk will be planted next week.

San Luis Reservoir and O'Neill Forebay
Striper ** Catfish ** Bass * Crappie *
The striper bite is slowing down, and Mickey Clements of Coyote Bait in Morgan Hill reported a few legal striper have been taken from the shoreline at Romero Visitor Center with anchovies. The top-water bite remains good on overcast days for experienced fishermen with Paul Jolley landing quality linesides on the 6-inch Lunker Punker in rainbow trout near Dinosaur Point. Clements said, "The white Lunker Punker is also very good, but it is hard to find." He added that sales of jumbo minnows has slowed in the past week with anglers purchasing six to eight minnows instead of dozens. The Forebay also has slowed down, but a few fish can be taken on pile worms, anchovies or jumbo minnows from the banks. Parking access to the shore area at the Highway 33 Bridge is prohibited, and anglers will have to park elsewhere and hike to the bridge. The main lake remains high at 96% with heavy inflows from the Delta.

Eastman Lake
Bass ** Trout ** Bluegill ** Catfish ** Crappie *
Mark Inman of Lefty's Lures reported light boat traffic on Saturday, and they counted only three shore fishermen for trout. He said, "The trout were boiling and working on the surface, so I can't figure out why there weren't more boats out trolling." He said the bass bite has been slower with only four fish on Saturday, but one of these was 4.5
pounds. Using shad-patterned plastics in 25 to 30 feet of water behind the 5 mph zone has been a good bet for bass. Live crawdads near the Dam also has been working. Inman said, "The water is very clear and stable." A trout plant is scheduled for next week. The Lakeview Trail is open between the Codorniz Recreation Area and Raymond Bridge, but the area of the lake extending upstream along the Chowchilla River still is closed beyond the buoy line. The lake held at 555.97 feet in elevation and 67% capacity.
Call: 689-3255
Hensley Lake
Bass ** Trout ** Catfish *** Crappie **
Hensley continues to be very slow for bass, but limits of trout have been taken from the Swim Beach with rainbow or chartreuse Power Bait. As experienced at nearby Eastman, boat traffic has been light with few fishermen trolling. A trout plant is scheduled for next week. The lake rose slightly to 491.54 vertical feet and 33% capacity.

McSwain Reservoir
Trout ***
The resumption of trout plants has greatly improved the action, but overall fishing interest has been down despite some large fish taken during the past week. Tony Decerbo landed an 8-pound rainbow on chartreuse Power Bait at the Brush Pile. Stephanie Powell of the McSwain Marina reported the Brush Pile has been productive as well as the marina area and the Handicapped Docks. Night crawlers, Power Bait Nuggets or Power Bait have been the top offerings. There have only been a few boats on the lake, but the majority of action has been near the Floating Restrooms with Wedding Rings tipped with a piece of crawler behind a dodger, blade/crawler combinations or small spoons. The regular trout plants between the Department of Fish and Game and Calaveras Trout Farm are back on tap. Call: (209) 378-2534 Delta Mendota Canal and Sloughs
Striper ** Catfish **
The south aqueduct has been the hot spot along the entire water conveyance system in the valley, but the striper action slowed down in the past week according to Pete Cormier of Bob's Bait in Bakersfield. A few small striper have been landed, but most anglers are grumbling about the slower bite. In the northern sections of the Central Valley, the majority of striper fishermen continue to bypass the canals for San Luis Reservoir.
Millerton Lake/San Joaquin River
Bass ** Striper **
Randy Pringle, the Fishing Instructor, presided over the inaugural Best Bass Tournament on Saturday, and 23 of the 36 teams weighed in at least four bass. Pringle said, "Dragging worms with a slow, methodical presentation took most of the fish, and the new Berkley Havoc Bottom Hopper was productive on a Zappu head." A few fish were taken on jigs, but the reaction bite was nonexistent. Merritt Gilbert of Valley Rod and Gun in Clovis was pleasantly surprised by the 10.59-pound winning limit of Roger Lockhart and John Scott, with the action taking place between 20 and 50 feet with Texas-rigged or drop-shotting plastics. Patrick Movey of the Fisherman's Warehouse in Fresno thought the Pro Worms Pro Gold Willow Leaf or green weenie plastics were a good bet, and he predicted improved bass action with the upcoming stormy weather. No striper reported. The lake dropped 2 feet to 531.80 feet in elevation and 62% capacity with the launch ramp on the Second Ramp. Woodward Park is scheduled for another trout plant this week. Access to the San Joaquin River continues to be limited to the Broken Bridge with the continued closure of the Lost Lake areas, but anglers are scoring planters with yellow or chartreuse Power Bait, Kastmasters, and Gulp! Worms.
Call: 225-1838; 292-3474
Pine Flat Reservoir/Kings River
Bass ** Trout ** King salmon * Catfish **
Trout fishing continues to be decent with plenty of fish holding in the Trimmer area at depths from the surface to 2 to 3 colors of lead core. Merritt Gilbert said, "An occasional rainbow to 15 inches has been taken, but the majority of trout are in the 12- to 14.5-inch range." Dick's Trout Busters on a 2-ounce weight, Rainbow Runners, ExCels, orange Speedy Shiners or gold/orange Rapalas have been the best lures, according to Gilbert and Patrick Movey. A few larger rainbows at 19 and 17 inches were taken at a depth of 40 feet on Needlefish from the Power Lines to Lefevre Creek. Movey thought the schools of trout are moving back into the main lake, and he predicted they should be showing up in good numbers near Windy Gap. For bass, a limit between 7 and 7.5 pounds is a good weight, but you have to work hard for them with the best action in the main lake to Windy Gap with jigs, or plastics on the drop-shot or dart-head. Dark colors such as green pumpkin or watermelon are working in addition to shad-patterns. Senkos have picked up a few fish, and Hula Grubs in green pumpkin, Color 208, or smoke/black/purple also are working. The lake rose a half foot to 865.28 feet in elevation and 56%. Trout plants continue on the lower Kings for the at least the next two weeks, and some trophies have been put into the river. Chartreuse Roostertails have produced some trophies, and Kastmasters, Roostertails, Joe's Flies and Power Bait in yellow, chartreuse and garlic all are working. Avocado Lake continues to kick out limits of planted trout with the best action in the morning with rainbow or orange Power Bait. This lake is scheduled to be planted for the next two weeks.

Lake Kaweah
Bass ** Crappie ** Trout *** Catfish **
Trout fishing is the most consistent thing going due to the recent plants from the first or second launch ramps. Power Bait, night crawlers, Kastmasters or Roostertails are working for the planted trout along shorelines. Another trout plant is scheduled for next week. There were some large bass taken in the past week on jigs or drop-shotting in deep water from 35 to 40 feet. Sierra Sporting Goods in Exeter reported largemouths of 8, 5.5 and 5 pounds have been brought to the shop within the week. The upcoming storm should provide improvement for the bass bite. Crappie fishing has been fair on small minnows at the Houseboats, and bass fishermen have landed catfish in deep water while targeting largemouths with heavy spoons. The lake rose over 2 feet to 595.09 feet in elevation and 9%.
Call: 592-5922
Lake Success
Bass ** Trout *** Catfish **
Trout fishing is taken center stage with the recent trout plants, and the Rocky Hill side of the lake has been producing planters on Power Bait, night crawlers or Kastmasters. Another plant is scheduled for next week. Bass fishing continues to be on the slow side with the fish moving into the shallows in the early mornings before dropping deep by mid-morning in search of warmer water and shad schools. Jigs, spoons or drop-shotting are the top techniques. The Tule Point south and Rocky Hill launch ramps are still open, but the best access remains at Rocky Hill. The lake rose nearly a foot to 602.57 feet and 18% capacity.Call: 784-0215
McClure Reservoir
Bass ** Trout *** King salmon ** Kokanee * Crappie ** Catfish **
The trout bite continues to be the best thing going with limits taken up the river arm near Bagby from the banks on green Power Bait or by trollers near the dam with blade/crawler combinations. Jason Mello of A-1 Bait in Snelling targeted crappie with small minnows at night under lights from the Houseboats, but they found catfish instead. The bass continue to be deep, holding at 40 feet or more, and drop-shotting with shad-patterned plastics has been productive off McClure Point. Manny Basi of the Bait Barn touted the 4-inch Pro Worm leech, 3.5-inch green/pepper tubes or brown jigs with a green pumpkin trailer on a very slow presentation. Live crawdads have produced spotted bass to 3.75 pounds, and A-1 sold out of large minnows due to demand in the past week. The lake dropped a half foot to 805.51 feet in elevation and 64% capacity.

Bass ** Trout *** Kokanee * King salmon **
Monte Smith of Gold Country Sport Fishing trolled the lake with a friend on Sunday, and they caught a total of 15 rainbows to 2.5 pounds, keeping only a limit. He said, "The bite was a bit slower than it has been, most likely due to the rapid change in barometric pressure." He continues to fast-troll heavy spoons on lead core at 6 to 7 colors, and their largest fish came on the downrigger at 25 feet. Smith added, "We marked some large schools of fish from 25 to 50 feet deep, and these were most likely either kokanee or salmon." Locating birds has been a key to finding the trout schools, and Smith reported a huge flock of grebes in the open water off Schoolhouse Point. Manny Basi of the Bait Barn reported a good bank bite for planted trout off shorelines in Fleming Meadows or the Blue Oaks Launch Ramp with Kastmasters, Power Bait or night crawlers. Basi added that bass fishing continues to be slow with the only action taking place in deep water with 4-inch Pro Worms leech 261S light which is salt/pepper with a violet streak or with 3.5-inch tubes in green pumpkin/pepper. Brown jigs with a green pumpkin trailer also have produced fish. A very slow and methodical presentation is necessary in the depths to 40 feet.

HIGH SIERRA Bass Lake
Bass ** Trout ** Kokanee *\
The lake remains low and cold; and despite the recent trout plant, fishing remains very slow. This trend will continue until more trout plants are established. The Pines boat launch was retrofitted by PG&E with ramp extensions allowing boat access during low lake levels through the winter months weather permitting and for four-wheel drive vehicles only. Todd Wittwer of Kokanee.net Guide Service will be providing a seminar on Bass Lake kokanee fishing at 6:15 p.m. Jan. 26 at the Fisherman's Warehouse in Fresno. The lake held to 38%.
There are two scheduled blasts this week: one was 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, the second is 3:45 p.m. Thursday. A blasting schedule should be updated every Friday and is available at cranevalleydam.com/blasting-schedule.

Shaver Lake/Huntington Lake
Kokanee * Trout *** Smallmouth *
Huntington continues to produce good numbers of rainbow trout to 14 inches off the banks with Power Bait. Dick Nichols of Dick's Fishing Charters said, "The majority of fish are catchables, but there have been some big ones in the mix with green, yellow and pink Power Bait around Deer Creek and along the west side of the lake." The lake is dropping, and the only boats that are able to be launched have to be dragged to the lakeshore along the launch ramp. Boaters are advised to obtain a Sno-Park pass from the Forest Service before parking at the launch ramp lot since there have been a number of tickets issued for no Sno-Pass on the vehicle although the parking lot area is bare of snow. Shaver Lake continues to be high and dry, but the main work to the dam is completed, and the lake should be filling up within the next few months. Shaver Lake Trophy Trout Project Trophy Club member Brett Burch of Sanger made the first contribution toward the big fish for 2014. With the success of donations and the annual dinner, the SLTTP will provide approximately 2,500 trophy-sized trout for 2013. Tackle manufacturer Captain Jack Yandell and Dick Nichols will be providing seminars on Shaver Lake in Fresno at Herb Bauer's on Feb. 23 and Valley Rod and Gun on March 31. Huntington dropped to 52% capacity and Shaver Lake remains at 0%.

San Francisco Bay
Striper ** Leopard shark ** Sturgeon **
Sturgeon fishing was slow with the small tides during the past week, but Keith Fraser of Loch Lomond Bait in San Rafael likes the tides beginning on Wednesday through the weekend with the latest series of minuses. Fishing was slow over the weekend. The 49ers' Catch 3.0 was the best thing landed near the bay over the weekend. Fraser said, "The bait shop was like a ghost town on Saturday, and the winds on Sunday made things very uncomfortable for boaters." The majority of fishermen were from the shorelines, but one angler landed a 65-inch sturgeon near the Pumphouse on Saturday afternoon. Fraser has gotten in a supply of live mud shrimp in addition to live herring, and there was a herring spawn at the Marin Islands on Friday. Fraser said, "That is right outside of our harbor."A few herring spawns have been taking place near Paradise Cove which is within the seasonal closed zone in the bay.
The DFG regulations state: 27.95. STURGEON CLOSURE. Green sturgeon and white sturgeon may not be taken in the following described area between Jan.
1 and March 15: That portion of San Francisco Bay included within the following boundaries: A direct line between Point Chauncy (National Marine Fisheries Laboratory) and Point Richmond, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and a direct line between Point Lobos and Point Bonita.
Joel Sinkay of Leonard's Bait in Port Sonoma said, "Patrick Clifton has done it again with a 58-inch sturgeon in the Round Mountain area." He reported striper limits were taken at the Pumphouse by Armando Mendoza, and he reported an overall fair bite in San Pablo Bay over the weekend. Sinkay said, "Our bullheads are still happy, and we have loads of grass shrimp." John Akina of Oyster Point Bait, Tackle and Deli in South San Francisco was able to land another sturgeon at 51 inches on a ghost shrimp/herring combination in 40 feet of water north of the Coyote Point marker on Saturday. Their fish was the only one landed in the area. A few sturgeon have been taken on the Hayward side of the San Bruno Shoals within the past several days. In the extreme south bay, the area south of the Dunbarton Bridge has produced a few sturgeon on ghost shrimp/herring combinations in the deeper waters of the main channel.
Half Moon Bay
Captain Tom Mattusch on the Huli Cat has been taking either sand dab/crab combination trips or whale watching over the past couple of weeks. Crab limits have been relatively easy with a long soak, and he didn't have to finish his string to find limits on Saturday. He put his customers onto plenty of sand dabs in a couple of locations as he went 9 miles southeast of where they had found them the day before. Mattusch reported good sand dab action off Martin's Beach in 210 feet of water, and the private boaters have been calling for the location before moving in to share the action. They also landed a highly unusual fish on Saturday identified as a longspine combfish which was released unharmed.

Monterey/Santa Cruz
Chris Arcoleo of Chris' Landing in Monterey said it was blowing on the outside Sunday, but they were still able to get out both weekend days on the sand dab/crab combination trips. Saturday's trips produced 15 limits of Dungeness crab and plenty of sand dabs, but Sunday's load of 20 passengers settled for 3.5 crab per fishermen with a couple of the pots coming up empty for some reason. Arcoleo said, "We are just smashing the sand dabs." They are running combination trips on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Lake Nacimiento/San Antonio/Santa Margarita/Lopez
Bass ** White Bass ** Striper ** Catfish ** Crappie **
There have been few reports from the coastal reservoirs, but two tournaments took place on Nacimiento last weekend. Nacimiento will be hosting several tournaments this month, including the inaugural Best Bass Tournament on Jan. 28. At Santa Margarita, a few quality bass to 4
pounds are available on small green jigs in 35 feet of water over rockpiles. San Antonio is giving up minimal information with the best action for bass on either a drop-shot or jig at depths from 20 to 45 feet. Striper fishing has been slow. There is a calendar of coastal lake tournaments available at www.my.calendars.net/cctsched/d01/01/2012?display=M&style=B&positioning=AQuagga mussel inspections are required before boat launching is allowed.

The tides were less than ideal for sturgeon fishing, but there will be more water movement this week culminating with minuses beginning Wednesday. However, one boat caught and kept huge striped bass at 45, 35 and 22 pounds in the middle of last week at the Firing Line on splittail. The fishermen is using large splittail ranging from 20 to 24 inches for the huge bass, and they also lost two others at the boat. After putting three massive striper on his boat on Tuesday, they didn't get a bite the following day. Tony Lopez at Benicia Bait said a 25-pound striper was landed at the Fleet on a bullhead, and a bank angler under the Benicia/Martinez Bridge landed a limit at 12 and 14 pounds on a grass shrimp/pile worm combination. Bullheads are getting increasingly scarce. Mark Delnero of Fin Addict Sport Fishing went on a fun trip Saturday, and he metered a load of sturgeon off Roe and Ryer islands to the north of the main channel. Despite the tremendous number of fish on the fish finder, getting bites has proven problematic. Delnero said, "It is not for a lack of fish in the area." They ended up with a limit of small striper. One of his friends landed a 57-inch sturgeon on a grass/ghost shrimp combination at the mouth of Mallard Slough at the west end of the PG&E Plant in Pittsburg. Mike Pipkins of Gotcha Bait in Antioch said, "Sturgeon fishing has been decent off Sherman Island and Collinsville, and there are plenty of starry flounder in the area." For striper, mudsuckers or sardines are working much better than the limited supply of frozen shad. Crappie have been taken around the docks in Discovery Park with anglers tossing minijigs weighed down with a split-shot in 8 to 9 feet of water in front of the weed beds. Pipkins said, "You have to drag the bottom to locate the fish, and if you find a hole in the weeds, it is a good area to try." Some anglers are pulling from eight to 10 crappie out of each hole. Stripers also are holding in the back bays chasing the shad schools. For largemouth bass, Randy Pringle, the Fishing Instructor, said the incoming storms will change conditions in the Delta. With the unseasonably warm January temperatures, there have been more bass moving up into the shallows, and the reaction bite has improved with half-ounce Persuader Spinnerbaits or the Timber Tiger DC8 crank bait. Pringle advised working the tops of the weeds at high tide in oxbows or flats. He additionally recommended using a stall technique with the crankbait by reeling it down and letting it rest for a bit once it bumps something. The plastic bite still is productive with the Berkley Chigger Craw or Hand-Poured Worm on a slow, methodical presentation. The temperature has dropped significantly in the past few days, and the fish will need to adjust for a few days to the changing conditions. Pringle will be presenting at the Ultimate Bass Demonstration Tank at the International Sportsmen's Exposition in Sacramento at 11:30 a.m. Thursday and 5:30 p.m. Friday.

UndiLah. The video
42 comments:
I think it is a good video clip. Potraying people from all walks of life.
But why balck and white?
In Color, better!!
- 11:08 pm
Great video! Shared on my blog, the black & white do bring meaning.
- 1:43 am
Yeah ! Pergi beramai-ramai untuk mengundi !
Buka mata anda besar-besar dan undilah !
Undi Patrick boleh ke ?
Patrick boleh !
- 7:52 am
"CHANGE"-- Yes We Can!!!
- 2:12 pm
Pukimak Patrick,
You sow hatred towards BN government (we love that), but you let yourself to be used as propaganda agent by acting in the BN-governed LHDN advertisement.
It just show how hypocrite you are, and like some Hindraf and BERSIH leaders, you are a snake that should never be trusted.
Fuck off and rot in your disgusting shack. Pakatan Rakyat are better off without people like you.
So undi Patrick?? Lanciau!
- 11:35 pm
Yes!!!! Undilah... make your vote count...Change now or never!!!!!! Malaysia is our country,we must uphold its sovereignty, integrity,dignity through the polls...no violence please...
- 11:59 pm
Najib, if you are not afraid of Anwar or rather Pakatan.
Do the following;
1) call of the sodomy charges so that Anwar can focus on challenging you in coming GE
2) don't call election until all the 8 requests by Bersih 2.0 are met.
3) Free up media so they can be independent. This means no political party is allow to hold any shares in media company.
4) once all the above are done, call for GE.
Otherwise, it means you are scare of Anwar and more importantly Pakatan.
- 1:11 pm
That Cantonese rapper on 'Malaysian Boy' video (Suarakami theme song?) is cool.
What is his name?
But it is cooler now to rap in Hokkien.
- 3:48 pm
In any poltical parties, there are bound to be hawk and extremist within. The larger context is that the citizens of Malaysia are the major stakeholders of this nation. Any laws that stifle freedom of speech and expression is against the very tenent of "basic human rights".
Rakyat will eventually VOTE out an "authocratic and arrogant government. The evolution to full democracy may be slow but it will surely be there. I for one had voted for Pas before and will do it again.
- 12:58 pm
My first time on this blog. Hey, I know that voice - it belongs to this chap who was "The Mystery DJ" on the Coca Cola's "The Cool and Swinging Show" way back in 1971/ 72(?). The show started with the infectious drum beats - from the theme of the original Hawaii 5-0 TV serial. Will definitely re-visit www.tiew.niamah.com.
- 1:34 pm
Hi Pat,
Certainly I vote your LHDN video clip! Very touching!
Apparently there are a lot of senior citizens that are being left in the old folks home by their children.......
The story line in your video clip differs though...
Ex TDC Malaysia
- 1:59 pm
Good News! The DPM who refuses to call himself Malaysian suddenly remembers that his wife is HALF Indian! Is that why UMNO has been F***ing the Indians? Now he wants to help "Indians" to enter the main stream. I am worried about entering any stream. I am Indian. I cannot swim lah!.
- 2:42 pm
Is the ISA repeal another whitewash, a vote buying exercise for the upcoming general elections or a ploy to boost flagging ratings for our beleaguered Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak?
I think it is all of the above.
- 6:05 pm
I can't understand why people get fidgety every time Najib or other BN leaders for that matter, start to embark on a transformation program or something to that effect. Najib is so desperate that he is paying foreign consultants to have 'cool makeover'.
People with more matured minds will not easily get swayed by all these gimmicks. It is those who are simple-minded and with less access to the real world that are susceptible to their pretence. So, hold your horses and refrain from issuing statements that could turn out in favour of BN. Time will tell if these so-called promises will be fulfilled. Don't waste your time playing mind games with them. Meanwhile, it's best that the opposition focus their energies on more pressing issues that affect the livelihood of the ordinary people.
- 11:45 am
Describing Najib as cool, really makes me wanna throw up. Sheesh, the things media does to try to portray something that is infinitely far away from the truth. I wash my eyes, I put on 'Alcon' eyedrops, I rub them, I squint and squint looking at Najib's face over and over again and I am never able to see the 'cool' that is in Najib. Am I supposed to cross my eyes so that both my eyes coming together, like you know nerds do, and then look at Najib to see his coolness? Oh, I get it now, that's how one does it, to get the impression of Najib's cool.
- 11:53 am
niamah hai . good advise from one fellow - dont show of your stolen money after people dont respect lah.
slowly ..slowly use ..no body can find out wan.....
as for me GOD knows what i do therefor i cannot curi and rasuah. no matter how i justified the action.
- 8:06 pm
Can't you guys ever accept the fact the when the weakling PM says one thing, his deputy and others will do the opposite... Forget ever there's democracy in Malaysia. We only have problems in Malaysia.. CORRUPTION
- 4:43 pm
Ku Li merely mentioned problems in general, ones that many of us already knew anyway. But the point that he's making in this video is that as citizens we should be concerned about those problems in society and voting is one of the important ways of making sure that those problems would be addressed and resolved by the chosen leaders concerned.
And if the appearance of Opposition politicians in the video clip is a problem to the powers-that-be, then the Najib administration should stop the charade of wanting the best democracy this side of Mother Earth! Opposition politicians, by the way, are legitimate personalities in a real democracy.
- 4:44 pm
Undilah video taken off-air over Ku Li speech, opposition figures:
Truly Niamah.
One more reason to reject BN.
- 4:53 pm
Banning a video that encourages people to vote? Now that's malaysian world-class democracy?
Something is seriously wrong with this BN administration. They seem to fear their own shadows and everything informative is deem to be sensitive. What is the point of repealing the ISA when even a video calling on the people to vote is treated with such disdain?
Surely, Malaysians must have better grey matters than those in UMNO to decide what is right and what is wrong. The taking off of this video will be another Bersih 2.0 to UMNO/Najib, only minus the police. And the cousins will be in damage control modes very soon.
Something must be very wrong somewhere in the administration. Why is the Government so sensitive over such a small matters calling on eligible voters to register and vote? Never had we seen such a high handed administration in the history of Malaysia! There are just too much contradictions within the administration itself, add the weak Prime Minister, this country is running on auto mode !
Malaysians, aren't you tired of people telling you what you can do, what you cannot do when you are of voting age and a full adult? Let us once and for all dump this useless and reportedly hugely corrupt administration out for good come PRU 13! Even if we cannot win Federal powers, dump them out in as many states as possible in the Peninsular. Malaysians must speak out, wake up and show the world that we are ready for change and will not be controlled by a few mediocre leaders! Malaysians, Malaysia call upon you to Selamatkan Malaysia, come PRU 13!

- 5:35 pm
MCMC's directive to Astro and Media Prima to ban airing 'Undilah' has ridiculed Najib's claims that Malaysia is the world's 'best democracy'.
- 6:01 pm
BN appears to treat the rakyat like fools; it vexes us with sodomy trials, sex tapes and the rewriting of history. Then, in an attempt to bolster our flagging spirits, it tell us that the Internal Security Act (ISA) will be abolished and Malaysia made the "best democracy in the world"
These are 'problems' implicitly highlighted in Undlilah video.
So BN is not happy. Thus MCMC is called upon to ban it on TV.
- 6:29 pm
and now this video is being withdrawn by MCMC~~~~~ walaueh! whats with it????
- 1:05 pm
Ini video-clip mana ada standard punya. Background mural pun ntah apa-apa dgn cat mengelupas, apa malaysia ni kat dlm ghetto ke apa?. Ini org mungkin banyak suka pegi back-lane sbb bnyk gmbr back-lane. Amik gmbr parlimen pun tak ada respect, dari bawah fly-over. Itu sharifah amani pun memalukan wanita melayu dgn aksi yg ntah apa-apa dgn baju kurung melayu. Artisitik lah konon.. Ada pulak rostrum dgn tulisan 'nasi lemak' dgn tong gas. Konon nak ingatkan org tentang nasi lemak 2.0 lah tu. Sign-board 'hospital Tung Shen tu kira nak flash-back incident Bersih Rally lah konon.. Sign-board 'DER' tu plak apa? Perli lah tu.. Dia org sendri suka pegi standard punya hair dressing saloon, tapi letak gmbr bac-lane barber. Degrading M'sia betul lah! Then tehre is this pregnant lady terkinja-kinja dpn bangunan yg architecture melambangkan seni bina Islam as it looks exactly like a mosque. Tak ad respect dgn org punya religion. Do that in the church lah!. Umbrellas ( yg memayungi seseorang dr unsur2 yg tak frenly) bening taken away from 2 malay/muslim men in front of a mosque. Lu mau imply apa ni??? Best part: trying to degrade the PM at 3:37 secs. AND putting Ku Li as the 'narrator' or 'main-cast'??? Oh..ho..ho..hoo. U think people stupid ah? Who knows skali Ku Li blakng pusing in the elections..and HE being the main-cast of the UNDIlah clip!! Woi!! Yenggeterima?? Yenna sollei?? Mau cari mkn bikin filem, bikin baik2. Mau masuk politik, masuk terang2. jgn main sembunyi2. If the maker of this clip thinks that his job is very 'artisitic'...I think its SHIT !!!.
- 1:52 am
I got pleasant surprise to see you on Nasi Lemak 2.0 as the food judge. Wonder why your face is not shown in the movie poster - sure can sell more ticket one, right?
Also, cannot understand why your superstar name is not on the poster credit? Scare it cannibalize the box office of Karipap Cinta?
Watching you speaking cantonese already worth the ticket price. Namewee did not pay you enough to utter Niamah in the show?
The guy speaking broken English in the show is cool.
Nasi Lemak 2.0 is a great movie.
Die Die also must watch one.
Karen Kong is so cute with thick eyebrow.
Better see the show, at least to see Patrick Teoh speaking Ipoh-style cantonese.
- 3:11 pm
- patrickteoh said...
Thanks Huang Fan. I am glad you enjoyed Nasi Lemak 2.0 Yes it is a great FUN watch.
Mine was just a cameo role so I guess it doesn't warrant credit on the poster la. But whatever it is I was glad to be part of Namewee's debut feature film.
- 3:37 pm
- 4:37 pm
You 'movie time' on Nasi Lemak 2.0 is longer than Reshmonou's (Han-tu Ya) but he can appear on poster but not you? Strange.
I hope there will be a sequel.
We have enough local talents instead of enriching the pockets of Jack Neo, Mark Lee and Henry Thia whose movie quality has gone downhill.
What say you?
Perhaps Patrick Teo of Metrowealth is now brave enough to make local Chinese movies.
- 4:44 pm
Hey Anon 4:44PM
It is David Teo of Metrowealth, not Patrick Teo.
Anyway David Teo Abdulah is more interested in milking Finas fund by making standard-recycled- formula malay movies.
We have noticed many talented local Chinese actors/actresses.We should support local Chinese movie industry as Singapore has been tapping our talents to make money off Malaysian audience.
Patrick Teoh is talented in 3 languages to act in malay, English and Chinese movies. He should led his support for Chinese movies after his superb performance in Nasi Lemak 2.0.
- 11:01 am
Sekarang ini Najib sedang menjelajah negara dan ber "shopping" undi. Beli sana dan beli sini. Jika menang lagi boleh cari lagi wang untuk menggantikan yang telah di belanjakan dalam masa sibuk membeli undi sebelum PRU itu. Keadaan akan menjadi seperti biasa kembali....pemimpin sibuk menyaingi rakyat untuk berniaga dengan bermodalkan kuasa yang di berikan rakyat tadi.
Walaupun "Melayu tidak akan hilang di dunia ini" tetapi "Melayu akan hilang dunianya". Syabas Umno kerana Melayu sudah beransur-ansur hilang dunianya hasil dari perjuangan parti ini.
- 12:39 pm
Huang Fan
I am a Singaporean and my family enjoy Nasi Lemak 2.0 in JB cinema yesterday. I hope it is screened in Singapore to wake up Jack Neo.
Patrick is really versatile.
Too modest to call his role as cameo.
- 1:19 pm
Glad that namewee f@3#% off Fauziah of Utusan for criticising nasi lemak 2.0 without even watching it.
Fauziah prefers to naik bonceng, eat karipap khurafat, santau with mat rempit as a bini gangster. No wonder tak ada otak langsung.
- 7:35 pm
a little late but, Hay, Long Time reader of ur blog, was surprised when i saw Nasi Lemak 2.0 and saw u inside...never heard u mentioned it in ur blog! glad u took part in it and u did very well ^_^
- 12:07 am
It is not coincidental UMNO has decided to appeal more to the Malay voters because they have done their maths. First, they possess the advantage to draw and redraw constituencies to favour voters supporting UMNO. Second, they have systematically allowed Muslim immigrants to outnumber the Chinese, Indians and non Muslim bumi in Sabah and Sarawak. In fact many non Malays have left the country not to return again. Such a strategy can only be based on one assumption – that the majority of the Malays are still in favour of exclusiveness, privileges and supremacy.
- 2:08 pm
Ordinary Malays do not have the protection and are dignified! Only UMNO Malays need the protection because they are a lazy lot that are used to getting easy money!
Today, Najib asked the Malays to have dignity and shed protectionism! Guess what? Can place my last ringgit bet with you, tomorrow or a few days to come, Perkasa/Muhyddin will say otherwise! The turmoil in UMNO is so intense and PRU 13 is UMNO's to lose!
Malaysians, let us for once vote out this incorrigible UMNO/BN and give Pakatan Rakyat a chance. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Most important mission to achieve our vision is to first totally wipe out MCA/MIC/GELAKAN in the peninsular. That means another 20 seats for Pakatan! Salam Reformasi! Selamatkan Malaysia!
- 11:59 am
One of the main allegations that MCA makes against DAP is that it is a party of opportunistic and bankrupt politicians who are constantly criticising for the sake of criticising. But that negative perception no longer holds true in the eyes of many Malaysians, especially since 2008. People can judge the difference in governance now between BN and Pakatan, particularly DAP's leadership in Penang and the crucial role it plays in Selangor. You can fool some people sometime but not all of them always.
- 12:41 pm
Marsiling uncle
Please note that Nasi Lemak 2.0 will be screened in Singapore cinemas in October.
Happy watching!
- 4:53 pm
So Jabba the Hutt has struck the first blow against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's new reform package barely two weeks after it was announced.
Despite promising to give more latitude to the media, his administration's knee-jerk response to the "Undilah" video has only demonstrated that old habits die hard — if something disagrees with you, ban it.
The issue for me is not whether Pete Teo had intended to draw parallels between Najib and the hermaphroditic mob boss.
Only Teo truly knows the answer to that and, even if the allegation were true, the last time I checked it wasn't a crime to be a hypocrite (in this case, to be allegedly partisan in what was intended to be a non-partisan project).
The issue is the disproportionate reaction of government to the perceived slight. To think the wheels of our state machinery were put in motion for what is, at worst, a sly but harmless dig at the current administration.
- 2:16 pm
Undilah Pakatan!
I decided after watching Najib's Merdeka Day speech.
- 5:27 pm
Patrick, you purposedly sparked anger among many malays who are still angry towards Namewee for his past racists remarks. You are insensitive, and all I can say is you are among the people who like it when Negaraku being rediculed. "Undilah" I doubt it that Namewee ever voted before.

Time has been flying! I feel like I just got here and I'm 1/3 of the way through. Ahh.
Two fun facts, 1. Voting is compulsory in Australia. Crazy huh?!
2. It is illegal to wash your car with a hose...I may or may not have broken the law.
So we were just leaving our investigator's house, and their neighbors drive up and there's this massive dent in their car from hitting a kangaroo. They told us some crazy stories about hitting big reds, and I am slightly paranoid now. I've only seen the little gray kangas, but people hit them all the time. Coming out of Ellenbrook, there are always dead kangaroos on the side of the road.
I don't remember if I told you already, but a Samoan sister in our ward taught us how to pongi po po or coconut buns...and I don't like coconut, but I love these! There is another family in our ward who have a son who served around a lot of poly families, and so he loves coconut buns too...we tried to teach him how to make it after only having made it with her once, and it didn't turn out so well haha. They weren't awful, but experience definitely helps. We just need to connect the two of them so that she can teach him directly. Recipe from internet - no guarantees
So we had a zone conference this week and got to watch Meet the Mormons! Maybe it's just because we haven't seen a movie in a while, but I loved it!! Go see it! Zone conference was the best. Elder Meurs of the 70 spoke to us, and we received some mean training on how to improve our teaching.
This is the last week of transfers. I can't believe how fast it went. I don't want to leave Ellenbrook at all! I've been here for a while though, so who knows what will happen...
We met this man who stopped coming to church when he was about 19 or 20, after he had his mission papers all set and everything, and we were talking to him about a lot of different things. He's been to America, and he loves root beer and he Baby Ruth candy bars and the Salt Lake Temple. He was complaining about American medical care though (his mom lives there) and he said that if Americans just had to pay taxes that we would be all set. We just kinda looked at each other and were like...umm, yup. Also he dated the wife of our elders quorum president.
Did I tell you about Harmony? We met her a couple weeks ago, and she is incredible. She recently decided to turn her life around, and has been praying for guidance. Then we came to her door! She has so much faith in Christ. When we taught her the Plan of Salvation she just knew it all already. Said it made sense and that it answered so many questions that she had. When we invited her to be baptized she started crying and said that she would love to. She was super pumped for a bit, and then her family got home from New Zealand, and they got super busy. They have to move in a couple weeks and they are trying to find a place for their whole family. So we are going to keep teaching her until she moves and then connect her with the missionaries there. She still is excited, but it really sad that her baptism will have to be pushed back. She feels like it is her purpose in life to find the truth and share it with her family. So she said that them moving in all together is perfect ha.
Life is good, we are working hard and having fun! I don't want transfers to come. I wish we had a couple more weeks at least. I love being a missionary! I love the gospel! It has brought so much joy into my life and I want to share it with everyone. It just makes so much sense. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us and that His goal for each of us is to return to live with Him and become like Him. Seems like a pretty tall order, but I know we can change and become better if we turn to our Saviour and ask for His help. I am gaining a much greater appreciation of the Atonement! It truly is the greatest gift!
I love all of yous! (I finally started saying yous every once in a while...I don't like that one, and I held out for so long, but oh well...what are you going to do). Hope you have a wonderful week!
Oate Alofa ia te Ou!
Sister Formica
When Sister Formica was in Arizona, she really connected with Carla, an investigator. She loved her dearly and had a hard time leaving because she wanted to keep working with her. The first email in my in-box this week was one line:
I think she was happy about that. Wendy from Arizona sent me some pictures and a summary of the baptism. We are so very happy for Carla! :)

Hi loves! I'm using a face scrub every evening and at the moment I'm trying out Himalaya Herbals Apricot Scrub (75 ml).
The scrub comes in a white plastic squeeze tube. Its light enough to take with me when traveling, which I have done now (thats why the pictures are the way they are, no flowers). Its easy to squeeze out as much product as I want and it does smell like apricot. It not my favorite scent for skincare item, as its too warm scent for me. I like something more citrus (I did got in in a beauty box. I don't think I would have picked it up on my own).
The formula of it is creamy with little beads in it, which exfoliate the skin and it does feel gentle on skin. Its with vitamin E, which nourishes the skin. The key ingredients are Apricot, Wheatgerm Oil (rich with vitamin E) and Apple. The formula is with out parabens, SLS/SLES and phthalates. Also their products are natural and contain special herbs.
How to use:
Like I said I like to use it in the evenings, because I have oily skin and large pores and I feel like my skin needs the extra cleansing it provides. Its recommended to use 2-3 times a week. I apply bit of it on my damp skin and use circular motion to massage my face with it and I do it 1 minute.
After that I wash it off and it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I do like it doesn't strip my skin, so I don't get any uncomfortable feeling from it (like too tight skin).
Overall I'm impressed with it. Its perfect for people who are looking gentle face scrub. I like the hydrating formula it has and how comfortable my skin feels after I have used it. It has been perfect for
this time of the year as the summer does have its effect on my skin.
You can check out all their products here. I will want to try more of their products in the future, if you are familiar with the brand and have recommendations let me know in the comments below.
Which is your favorite face scrub? Do you like more creamy scrubs or gel based scrubs?
Thanks for reading! xo's

Each participant in the intervention takes a turn expressing their concerns and how they see the problem person's behavior is affecting them and this person. There needs to be a rehab facility already lined up and prepared to admit the person with the problem immediately upon completion of the intervention. Participants are given the opportunity to present their observations and help them see how their behavior is affecting both them and the people around them. The goal of an intervention is to get the person with the problem to agree to go and complete a rehab program. The purpose of an intervention is to facilitate the prospective patient's admission into an appropriate treatment program. Prior to meeting the prospective patient, an interventionist works with the interested parties, educating them about the disease, treatment and the intervention process.
Hiring a Professional Interventionist
Interventions are best handled with the assistance of a trained professional, known as an interventionist. They add an added dimension of professionalism and help the intervention to go smoothly.

Limited English proficiency (LEP) and race/ethnicity have not been well studied in consumer reporting of hospital quality, though these factors present barriers to quality health care. Public quality reports are also underused among minority and LEP groups. The science of consumer reporting is missing core knowledge of how individuals from diverse racial/ethnic groups, including those with LEP, use hospital quality measures, what they value and understand from existing quality reports, and whether additional information or presentation features might encourage higher use. The field is also missing personalized, relevant, easy-to- understand quality reporting templates designed for distinct cultural groups and/or non-English language speakers. These issues are particularly relevant for many Asian American and Pacific Islander (AA/PI) subgroups that have distinct cultural preferences, health disparities, and high proportions of LEP. Childbirth, the most common reason women are hospitalized in the U.S., is a particularly expensive area of the health care system with known health outcome disparities and quality concerns. Pregnant women are likely to be particularly activated consumers with strong interest in hospital quality and sufficient advance notice about the upcoming hospitalization to research the topic. Improving the use of public hospital quality reports for pregnant women across diverse racial/ethnic and LEP groups could help drive overall quality improvement in childbirth and reduce maternal health outcome disparities. In order to address key knowledge gaps in the science of public reporting and to meet quality improvement and disparity reduction goals, we will: (1): Quantify inpatient maternal health quality outcomes and childbirth hospitalization patterns among diverse AA/PI and LEP populations in Hawaii to strengthen empirical evidence on this understudied topic, to determine relevant populations for Aims 2-3, and to provide group-specific results for personalized maternal inpatient quality metrics in Aim 3;(2): Describe utilization, usefulness, ease-of-use, and preferences for public reports of inpatient maternal health quality across diverse AA/PI and LEP groups by interviewing 400 women with a recent hospital delivery. Findings will be contextualized within the constraints, decision inputs, and factors relevant to the childbirth hospital decision, which are expected to vary across groups;and (3): Design and pilot test a personalized, interactive, consumer-focused website concerning the maternal hospital delivery decision, including useful and easy-to-understand inpatient quality measures. This product will draw from empirical evidence, consumer informatics theory, and web design best practices. The usefulness and usability of an English version will be pilot tested in 2 AA/PI groups (n=40) with disparities in Aim 1 and distinct preferences in Aim 2. A non-English version will be tested in an LEP group (n=20) with many speakers in the U.S., large health disparities from Aim 1, and known preferences from Aim 2.
This study will improve the science of consumer reporting of public hospital quality information by describing how individuals from diverse racial/ethnic groups and those with limited English proficiency use maternity- focused hospital quality information, what they value and understand from existing public reports on this topic, and whether additional information or presentation features might encourage higher use. We will use this information to design and test a personalized, consumer-focused website with the goal of improving the use of public hospital quality reports for pregnant women across diverse racial/ethnic and linguistic groups.

Here we are, not quite two weeks from the end of this year's Steam Summer Sale. We were all ambushed by a veritable cornucopia of bargains, many of which were simply too good to pass up. At this point, I expect a lot of us are quietly dreading our next credit card statement.
Who in their right mind would consider a hardware upgrade after all this?
Well, believe or not, the hardware market seems to be giving us—the over-indebted Steam addicts—a break this summer. Graphics card prices have fallen sharply over the past little while, and they're now lower than ever. The price tags on some cards have dropped by the equivalent of a full performance tier, or close to it. The getting is unquestionably good.
Then there are Intel's Devil's Canyon and Pentium Anniversary Edition processors, the latter of which is perhaps the best CPU value we've seen in years. Picture this: a $75 dual-core processor that's fully unlocked and can overclock by up to 50% on air, at which point it can nip at the heels of $200 quad-core chips. Talk about a return on investment.
On top of that, some new, value-friendly solid-state drives have joined the party. Crucial's MX100 offers an almost unbeatable combination of value and performance at 256GB and 512GB, ideal capacities for a gaming PC.
If you haven't maxed out your credit on Steam games already, you really ought to get in on this. The deals are there, and so are the performance rewards. There's hardly ever been a better time to upgrade—and you don't need to break the bank to do it.
The rules and regulations
A short disclaimer: this is a component selection guide, not a PC assembly guide or a performance comparison. If you need help with the business of putting components together, look at our handy how-to build a PC article—and the accompanying video:
For reviews and benchmarks, we suggest heading to our front page and starting from there.
On the next several pages, we'll discuss the main categories of components needed to build a PC: processors, motherboards, memory, graphics cards, storage, cases, and power supplies. We'll then recommend a handful of carefully selected parts split into three tiers: budget, sweet spot, and high end.
For the budget tier, we won't seek out the absolute cheapest parts around. Instead, we'll single out capable, high-quality parts that also happen to be affordable. The sweet-spot tier is self-explanatory; it's where you'll find the products that deliver the most bang for your buck. Finally, our high-end tier is a mirror image of the budget tier. There, we'll seek out the fastest and most feature-packed components, but without venturing into excessive price premiums that aren't worth paying.
Each recommendation will involve a mental juggling of sorts for us. We'll consider variables like benchmark data, our personal experiences, current availability and retail pricing, user reviews, warranty coverage, and the size and reputation of the manufacturer or vendor. In most cases, we'll favor components we know first-hand to be better than the alternatives.
Finally, each recommended component will have a "notable needs" box. In that box, we'll point out any special requirements one should consider when building a full system with that part. For instance, we'll address socket type and form factor compatibility between different processors, motherboards, and cases.
Now that we've addressed the how, let's talk about the where. See that "powered by Newegg.com" logo at the top of the page? Newegg sponsors our System Guides, and more often than not, it will serve as our source for component prices. However, Newegg has no input on our editorial content nor sway over our component selections. If we want to recommend something it doesn't carry, we'll do just that.
We think sourcing prices from a huge online retailer gives us more realistic figures, though—so much so that we quoted Newegg prices long before this guide got a sponsor. Dedicated price search engines can find better deals, but they often pull up unrealistically low prices from small and potentially unreliable e-tailers. If you're going to spend several hundred (or thousand) dollars on a PC, we think you'll be more comfortable doing so at a large e-tailer with a proven track record and a decent return policy.

Good Friday Meditation: Psalm 22
April 21, 2011
This Good Friday I'm preaching on perhaps the most powerful passage regarding Jesus on the Cross. It's actually found in the Old Testament in Psalm 22. What I found amazing about this passage is that it is the psalm of David, a mixture of lament and celebration. But none of the details David describes are events that happened in his life. He was never crucified. And nothing David did caused the entire nation, much less the entire world to bow before the Lord. So this is clearly a Messianic passage, God superintending the lament of King David and employing David as a prophet to present a shadow of Christ on the cross (Acts 2:30). And beyond the cross, this psalm looks to the age of the church and the coming Kingdom, with its "already, not yet" view. I encourage you to read Psalm 22 this week and identify for yourself the...Continue Reading

CNN has published 2 poems apparently written by Tucson shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner.
Some are questioning why CNN would give publicity to a murderer's schoolwork, but it fits in with the typical liberal approach for laying a foundation of compassion and forgiveness for criminals and terrorists.
The same poetry card was played with the terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, as I wrote about here before. Lawyers have tried to portray those terrorists as sensitive poets who did no one any harm and are unjustifiably incarcerated without any proof against them, etc.
We know now that many of the Guantanamo terrorists who were released went back to their old ways.
CNN is playing the same game. Loughner is a poet! He is a sensitive person despite all evidence to the contrary. CNN's point? No death penalty. That's their goal.

11 Best New Songs of the Week
Making your commute so much better.
Every week, members of the Vulture staff highlight the best new music of 2015. We do not discriminate; as long as the song is worthy of your ears and attention, you will find it here. Read our picks below, share yours in the comments, and subscribe to the Vulture 2015 Playlist for a comprehensive guide to the year's best new tunes.
Beck, "Dreams"
"Dreams," co-written by Andrew Wyatt (Miike Snow front man) and pop producer Greg Kurstin (Kelly Clarkson), is a reminder to us all that Beck's ultimate stock-in-trade is to keep us guessing, whether he's producing Dwight Yoakam, defending Kanye West's right be to Kanye, or dropping new music with a faint whiff of disco. —Lauretta Charlton (@LaurettaLand)
Bilal feat. Big K.R.I.T., "Pleasure Toy"
Every fan of the Soulquarians knows and cherishes Bilal's voice. Luckily, earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar put a major spotlight on that same voice on his polarizing To Pimp a Butterfly, introducing a new class of soul fans to one of the genre's finest. Bilal's fourth album, In Another Life, comes at just the right time for fans both new and old to savor his classic two-step vibes — with Big K.R.I.T. tacking on a verse that sounds extra Outkast-influenced. —Dee Lockett (@Dee_Lockett)
Bully, "Too Tough"
The Nashville rockers Bully have quickly made an impact in the alt-garage pop scene with their cathartic combination of stirring and fuzzy instrumentals with angsty, blunt, and often-witty lyricisms. "Too Tough," the newly released track from their forthcoming debut Feels Like, adheres to this winning formula nicely, with front woman Alicia Bognanno showcasing her signature yowling vocals with great stride — the gritty riot grrrl–lite woman of 2015 we've been waiting for. —Devon Ivie (@devonsaysrelax)
Vanessa Carlton, "Blue Pool"
Vanessa Carlton will probably never be able to shake the ubiquity of her 2002 breakthrough single "A Thousand Miles." But that shouldn't be the only song she's remembered for. ("White Houses" was even better, if you ask me.) Time didn't stop for Carlton in 2002, and later this year she'll release Liberman, her fifth album. One of its songs, "Blue Pool," will see an early release in July as the title track of an EP to tide fans over until October. She's still playing piano on it (why fix what ain't broke?), only now she's also figured out how to layer her vocals in a way that creates harmonies suited for the folk sound she's grown into. —DL
Foals, "What Went Down"
Darker, angrier, to the point. Foals, the Oxford outfit that made us dance like giddy schoolchildren with songs like 2013's "My Number," have shed their pop sensibilities for a grittier mood befitting of a bad night spent smoking cigarettes, drinking booze, and partying. The kind of night when shit goes down. —Lauretta Charlton (@LaurettaLand)
Miguel feat. Lenny Kravitz, "Face the Sun"
Shout out to Dru Decaro, who is an excellent guitarist. Lenny Kravitz is okay, too. —LC
Kehlani x Mr. Carmack, "All In"
"We are at this halfway point between what it is and what it seems," the Oakland R&B singer Kehlani sings over a moody Mr. Carmack beat. She is talking about a relationship, but considering the circumstances under which this song came about, it makes me think of music's relationship with advertisements. Kehlani and Mr. Carmack were put together by Adidas, in a collaboration with Bay Area music videographers Yours Truly called Songs from Scratch. The song is undeniably great and undeniably only exists because a billion-dollar company wants to seem hip. I'm not going to say this is a bad thing, but it does give the song a certain tension that, if anything, works in its favor. —Jesse David Fox (@JesseDavidFox)
Tori Kelly, "Expensive"
Tori Kelly is one of those artists I listen to on the subway and can't help but mouth (read: belt) her riffs along with the music. In her funky new track, "Expensive," Kelly's vocals recall a younger Mariah Carey; the runs are basically borrowed from "Emotions." Her voice pierces the post-bridge silence, there's a blast of brass, the song hits its stride, and that's when I start getting stares from people on my train. —Eric King (@erickingdavid)
Hudson Mohawke feat. Jhené Aiko, "Resistance"
If I didn't know any better, I'd easily mistake parts of Hudson Mohawke's sophomore solo album, Lantern, for a score to a Christopher Nolan film. It's a towering collection of mostly instrumentals. But the few vocalists HudMo does bring in — Miguel, Irfane, Antony Hegarty, Jhené Aiko — aren't completely overpowered by his unique arrangements. In fact, HudMo almost mutes himself for them, particularly on the majestic, slinky "Resistance" (which leaked earlier this month), on which Aiko has never sung better. If, like me, you're not overly fond of her solo work, this will have you begging Jhené to work with HudMo more often. —DL
Ashley Monroe, "I Buried Your Love Alive"
Country music has no shortage of women you shouldn't mess with, and a few years ago, 28-year-old Ashley Monroe befriended two of them, Miranda Lambert and Angaleena Presley, as part of the trio Pistol Annies. While that group is currently on hiatus, Monroe is onto her sophomore album, Blade, out in July — a project that positions her as one of the most dangerous songwriters in the business. "I Buried Your Love Alive," a tough-skinned confessional about the pangs of heartache, appropriately comes nearly 20 years after Jagged Little Pill. And I bet Alanis wouldn't have it any other way. —DL
Windowspeak, "All Yours"
Look, I know how hack it is to call something "'90s," but this sure feels '90s. And not in the grungy guitar way — more like the general vibe. Like how every movie/TV show in the '90s used "Fade Into You" at least once. Listen to this song and try to tell me you don't picture Chloë Sevigny staring listlessly out a car window. —JDF

Thank You For Calling, Have A Nice Day
I just called Airtel Customer Care to register my Home Landline for National Do Not Call (NDNC). When I say 'just called', I meant I called them at midnight (too busy to do these things during the day!). I called from my house in Pune, India and am sure the call was received by some Indian working at some call center in India. He asked for my landline number and where I am calling from. Anyways, it took hardly 1 minute to do that, and there were no issues in getting that done, but at the end of the call, the fellow at the other end wishes me 'Thank you for calling Airtel, Have a Nice Day'. You see where I am getting at ? For God's sake, its midnight, you know I am from Pune, why can't you just wish me good night, instead of wishing me a good day. I guess a IVRS might do a better job at it (you just need to program it to wish a customer according to the time he/she is calling).
I know all these BPO operations are a huge source of revenue and employment generation for India. It has changed the whole demography of many small towns and Tier-II cities. We have better spending power now. It has given a rise to all malls mushrooming all over India, which in turn generates more jobs. Good for us! But then we don't use our common sense any more. Even though the guy from Airtel who recieved my call was trained to say 'Thank you for calling...', I think he should have wished me good night. But thats not the way it is.
