– Washington, DC –
– American Institutes for Research –
We're not sure whose iPad 2 we fixed at the American Institutes for Research today (we conversed with and met probably ten different IT people) but whoever owned it is definitely a happy camper after we left. They had dropped the iPad 2 only two weeks after receiving it from the IT department and after a quick Google search for iPad 2 repair Washignton, DC they knew who to call.
I came right to their office on Thomas Jefferson St. NW and the iPad 2 was repaired within an hour. No more broken glass!

|So I've almost cleaned up my original mistake of not keeping track of what I was planting (yay!). I have two types of sedums (out of ~70 plants/~25 different types of sedum) left to ID. Are there any sedum experts who can lend a trained eye?
The first (4 different plants included because the colors vary so much!):
(The upload flipped the image upside down again...)
The closest thing I've found so far seems to be Elizabeth/Queen Elizabeth:
Or, what I thought it was originally:
These do look awfully similar to some of my other plants that I'm sure are Dragon's Blood (or at least sure they were labeled that way...), the difference being that all the ones I'm sure are Dragon's Blood are in bloom and they seem to sprawl more and grow faster than the unids. I'm still very new to this whole "plant thing" - could this just be a case of some plants blooming and some not?
The second:
I thought these were makinoi limelight for a bit, but they don't seem nearly as vivid in coloration as my limelights and they seem to have variegated leaf tips, which my limelights (one pictured below with some Dragon's Blood blooms photobombing) don't:

The first one is a Phedimus spurius, but not sure which one. Let's see what the blooms look like when it blooms.

|Wow Lynn you are on top of stuff, thanks again! Funny, in my notes I have them as "variegated makinoi?"...pretty close guess. I'll update whenever the others get around to blooming.

Hopefully we will be able to identify the S. spurium. There are so many different cultivars now.

Forget The #LabourParty. It Forgot You Long Ago
There's been some shock and outrage expressed in the last few days over Ed Milliband's decision to U-turn on opposition to the Tory cuts. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. The Labour party have not been on the side of the working class for a long time before Blair or even the 1970′s and 80′s that are seen by some as a golden age of the party.
Of political parties claiming socialism to be their aim, the Labour Party has always been one of the most dogmatic – not about socialism, but about the parliamentary system.
Empirical and flexible about all else, its leaders have always made devotion to that system their fixed point of reference and the conditioning factor of their political behaviour. This is not simply to say that the Labour Party has never been a party of revolution: such parties have normally been quite willing to use the opportunities the parliamentary system offered as one means of furthering their aims. It is rather that the leaders of the Labour Party have always rejected any kind of political action (such as industrial action for political purposes) which fell, or which appeared to them to fall, outside the framework and conventions of the parliamentary system. The Labour Party has not only been a parliamentary party; it has been a party deeply imbued by parliamentarism. And in this respect, there is no distinction to be made between Labour's political and its industrial leaders. Both have been equally determined that the Labour Party should not stray from the narrow path of parliamentary politics.
The Labour Party remains, in practice, what it has always been- a party of modest social reform in a capitalist system within whose confines it is ever more firmly and by now irrevocably rooted.
The above quote is from the introduction to Ralph Milliband's Parliamentary Socialism: A Study of the Politics of Labour published in 1961. The reality is that the Labour party has been beyond the control of it's rank and file members and unions since it first gained MP's in the 1920′s. The latest move is no more of a surprise today than Neil Kinnock's failure to support the miners in 1984 or to even attempt to effectively resist the de-industrualisation of Britian, the smashing of communities and the financialisation of the economy that was Thatcherism.
Ed Milliband and the Labour party are (re)abandoning the working class now at a time of open conflict. They've chosen the parliamentary system, the law of the rich and the bosses. It's who they are, as Ed's father said in 1961 – everything is flexible except for the goal parliamentary power.
This time though things are different, it's not the 1980′s. In the 1980′s the Tories reinvented Britain, created the conditions by liberalising capital markets to allow capital to redeploy production to countries with cheap ununionised labour and attacked the working class organisations at home. They also sold a vision. A vision of home ownership for all, a stake in the corporations they sold off. It was pure deceit, there's nothing empowering about a mortgage and being able to buy shares in a business you already owned as a citizen before it was sold off by the state is willingly participating in your own robbery. It worked though, 18 years of power and the completion of a project that lasted 10 more years under Labour. In 1998 John Major said of Blair's government "they have good policies, they're our policies".
There's no vision today though, it's a straight up fight. They can't sell council houses off cheap because they've already sold them. There's no BT share issue for us to get excited over or British Gas shares to tell Sid about because they've already sold them. The vision of the Tories today is "The Big Society" which translates to "We're not taking tax off the rich to pay for services so do it yourself".
Unlike the 80′s the Labour party have got out of the way early doors. Less than 2 years in and they're hand is nakedly declared. There's no handwringing over whether a miners ballot was quite as it should be to excuse not providing unequivocal support for working class people fighting for their jobs. Ed Milliband isn't even pretending to be on your side.
The unions are crying about this, as though this is some kind of revelation to them. It's not. It might be the time they turn, when Unite along with Unison and the GMB etc. follows the RMT and disaffiliates from Labour That's up to you though. If you're a member, fight for it and for love of sanity make sure you opt out of your unions political fund and make it clear you're doing so because of Labour Party affiliation.
The fight now is who pays for the disaster of the 1980′s de-industrialisation and the fiancialisation of the economy. Do we as the working class pay for it though redundancy and pay cuts? Do the disabled and vulnerable pay for it through service and benefit cuts? If you think that's what should happen, you don't need to do anything. Vote Labour in 2015.
It's up to us, it's never been more clear that all we have is each other. The Labour Party aren't going to help us, forget them.
Now Or Never! & The Electric Heretics Have Got a File on You
PRESS RELEASE – 08/11/2011 Now Or Never! magazine, in conjunction with digital rights activists The Electric Heretics , have issued a statement (see link below) to the applicants running for the Norwich South New Labour candidacy that their party should be more careful with their personal data.
Opinion: Ian Bone-ARE ANARCHISTS THE ENEMIES OF THE LABOUR MOVEMENT?
Thus asks Andy Newman on his Socialist Unity site. His excuse for running the piece is the egging of Brendan Barber at Goldsmiths last night. This has given Newman – a supporter of Ed Balls, Galloway, Livingstone, Cruddas, Searchlight, Abbott, Sheridan etc etc – an excuse to re-run his hoary old stalinist anti-anarchist lies.
The egging is compared to Class War's assault on Neil Kinnock in Hyde Park in 1983.
In the build up to March 26th we can expect much more of the same from the Left as they see their tired old formulaic A-B marches and Vote Labour aims discredited.
A clear attempt to frighten the punters on the march from taking any action promoted by these 'enemies'. It might have worked in the past Andy – Spain 1936 – but this time the horse has bolted with a red and black flag on it's head and thousands of punters failing to accede to Brendan's pleas to GO HOME at 5pm from Hyde Park.
You've been rumbled Andy – I'd check the flights to caracas if i were you…
Why NCAG Have Pulled Out Of The Norfolk Coalition Against The Cuts.
With immediate effect Norfolk Community Action Group withdraw our affiliation with Norfolk Coalition Against The Cuts.
From the outset NCAG has had to deal with some fairly ridiculous manoeuvres by elements within the local coalition.
To start with our email sent to actually affiliate with the group that claims ownership of the struggle against the current governments cuts in Norfolk was taken before the steering group in order for us to be allowed to join. We were then summoned before said steering group to answer questions on our position on multiculturalism, in itself a laughable course of events.
While trying to educate some lefty elements within the steering group about the logic of multiculturalism and it being anything BUT progressive and inclusive, it was clear that some people just can't get past reading socialist texts of the 1900's. Our stated support of an open borders policy in conjunction with our opposition to multiculturalism appeared to do little more than confuse, so from the beginning we were well aware what we were up against.
However as fighting these ideological cuts we see as imperative we were willing to try and show solidarity and go ahead with affiliation once approved.
This has been a mistake on our part.
Absolutely nothing has changed on the left. The coalition is made up of the same tired old faces from struggles past who see fighting back as a march down the road and dragging out the same worn out octogenarians to speak, however well respected they are, as adequate action in fighting back against the cuts. Leaflets, marches, speeches, petitions, hidden left caucuses within the coalition…all symptomatic of a politics with very little direction not even attempting to move forward.
But let's deal with the reality here. Most members leading the coalition are from a Labour trade union left and assorted Trot organisations who are oblivious to the fact that they are part and parcel of why the Labour Party were not returned to power at the last election. They, and the Labour Party, simply no longer have anything in common with the working class of our society. What's more many still think they live in the 1970's, but in reality trade union membership makes up for only around 26% of workers in Britain today.
There are those too who simply are not concerned with the likes of people living on council estates or the majority non unionised workers in society, precisely the reason they have nothing to offer a progressive fight back against these cuts.
It was not the unions who were instrumental in bringing down the Poll Tax and Thatcher, but the hard work and dedication of those willing to get their hands dirty by agitating within the general populace and building a mass movement within the working class. And let's face it, the Labour Party and TUC are not opposed to the cuts, they just want nicer ones.
Bottom line, most are simply interested in getting the Labour Party re-elected to power.
While there are those individuals within the coalition we have much respect for, and while we still see the trade unions as being important to any successful fightback, it is the rank and file members and unheard voices in society that are the real key to winning this struggle, and not the bureaucrats, careerists and leaders who'll win it.
We return to working within the communities of our region and leave the Norfolk Coalition Against The Cuts to do whatever it thinks it's doing by agreeing to two minute marches with the police and spending all it's time preaching to the already converted.
After all, it is the cuts we're fighting isn't it, not seeking the re-election of the Labour Party…
Opinion: Out With The Old Politics
by Laurie Penny
Ed Miliband's pitiful offer of 1p membership won't tempt the young back to parliamentary politics.
Democracy is going cheap. Just in time for the January sales, the party responsible for introducing tuition fees has decided that it wants to jump on the youth protest bandwagon. "Join the party for one penny, and we will be your voice," writes Ed Miliband in a rather desperate Christmas message to under-25s.
Labour is making a fundamental error, however, in assuming that these young protesters want or need anybody to "be our voice". Parliamentary politics has sold the young out, and whatever bargain-basement price tag mainstream parties slap on their membership, they aren't buying it any more.
The young people of Britain do not need leaders, and the new wave of activists has no interest in the ideological bureaucracy of the old left. Their energy and creativity is disseminated via networks rather than organisations, and many young people have neither the time nor the inclination to wait for any political party to decide what direction they should take. The Liberal Democrats represented the last hope that parliamentary democracy might have something to offer the young, and that hope has been exquisitely betrayed – no wonder, then, that the new movements have responded by rejecting the old order entirely.
What we are seeing here is no less than a fundamental reimagining of the British left: an organic reworking which rejects the old deferential structures of union-led action and interminable infighting among indistinguishable splinter parties for something far more inclusive and fast-moving. These new groups are principled and theoretically well-versed, but have no truck with the narcissism of small differences that used to corrupt even the most well-meaning of leftwing movements.
At the student meetings I have attended in recent weeks, ideological bickering is routinely sidelined in favour of practical planning. Anarchists and social democrats are obliged to work together alongside school pupils who don't care what flag you march under as long as you're on the side that puts people before profit. When the Unite leader, Len McLuskey, wrote in these pages this week encouraging union members to lend their support to the "magnificent student movement", he hit precisely the right note – one that respects the energy of these new networks of resistance without seeking to hijack it. The unions have begun to realise what the Labour party is still too arrogant to consider – that the nature of the fight against bigotry and greed has evolved beyond the traditional hierarchies of the left.
It is highly significant that one of the first things this hydra-headed youth movement set out to achieve was the decapitation of its own official leadership. When Aaron Porter of the National Union of Students was seen to be "dithering" over whether or not to support the protests, there were immediate calls for his resignation – and in subsequent weeks the NUS has proved itself worse than irrelevant as an organising force for demonstrations.
Of course, the old left is not about to disappear completely. It is highly likely that even after a nuclear attack, the only remaining life-forms will be cockroaches and sour-faced vendors of the Socialist Worker. Stunningly, the paper is still being peddled at every demonstration to young cyber-activists for whom the very concept of a newspaper is almost as outdated as the notion of ideological unity as a basis for action.
For these young protesters, the strategic factionalism of the old left is irrelevant. Creative, courageous and inspired by situationism and guerrilla tactics, they have a principled understanding of solidarity. For example, assembling fancy-dress flash mobs in Topshop to protest against corporate tax avoidance may seem frivolous, but this movement is daring to do what no union or political party has yet contemplated – directly challenging the banks and business owners who caused this crisis.
The young people of Britain are no longer prepared to take orders, and are unlikely to pay even a penny for a vacillating, pro-business party to be "our voice". We have never spoken in just one voice. We speak in hundreds of thousands of voices – voices that are being raised across Europe, not in unison but in harmony. The writing on the wall of the Treasury earlier this month may yet prove prescient: this is just the beginning.

Firstly, you are able to apply to university. There is a mixture of both what subject you have studied and what grade you have. University courses will have a minimum requirement in terms of UCAS tariff points. Secondly, some courses will require a particular A-Level to study that course. These requirements will vary between universities. After you've seen what you need, the thing that you'll be asking next is how many UCAS points do I have? This is just as important as you will need to know the UCAS points in order to get into university.

MOCA Cleveland Announces Winter/Spring 2015 Exhibitions
"The Visitors" is Ragnar Kjartansson's "irresistible invitation to la via bohème"
(New York Times)
CLEVELAND (January 6, 2015) – MOCA Cleveland will open its winter/spring 2015 exhibitions on February 6 with Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson's The Visitors, an immersive video installation on 9 screens that The New Yorker's art critic Peter Schjeldahl calls "entrancingly beautiful and intensely moving. " "The work," he writes, "affirms individuality and community at once. It would be awfully nice if life were like that — as it can be, for an occasional spell, under the aegis of art." The full season runs from February 6 through May 24, 2015.
"The Visitors considers and celebrates artistic utopias and friendships in a way that is ultimately deeply moving and life-affirming," says MOCA Executive Director Jill Snyder. "When it debuted in New York, this work was consistently cited by critics and audiences alike as one of the most popular, exuberant and affecting exhibitions of the past year. It even became something of a cult phenomenon. We expect it to cast a similar spell on Cleveland."
MOCA also presents Truths and Visions, a new exhibition curated by Patterson Sims that highlights the work of Joyce J. Scott, a sculptor, performance artist, and educator based in Baltimore, Maryland. (Note: Truths and Visions opens on January 29.) Scott's work probes timely, knotted and difficult questions of gender, race, bigotry, injustice and African American history while exploring the relationship of craft to contemporary art. "The work is both exquisite and blistering, positing a tension between aesthetics and thematics," adds Snyder. "With questions of racial injustice once again at the forefront of the national conversation, the time is right for MOCA to re-introduce these gnawing and perennial concerns."
With Jessica Eaton: Wild Permutations, MOCA's new season also includes the vibrant and enigmatic experimentations of an emerging Canadian artist whose work questions the very nature of photography. MOCA Cleveland is partnering with Transformer Station to present Wild Permutations across two venues in the city. MOCA Cleveland will showcase a new body of work that includes the artist's investigations into the behavior and production of color, including her recent floral studies that transcend the limits of visible light, while Transformer Station will show a comprehensive selection of Eaton's cfaal series (2010-2014).

Incorporating elements of theater, music, and visual art, Ragnar Kjartansson creates performances that test the boundaries between reality and fiction, melancholy and parody. Often made with groups of other people, including artists, musicians, family, and friends, his work explores the nature of relationships and collaboration.
In The Visitors (2012), nine performers, including Kjartansson himself, stage a musical production in Rokeby House, a storied, rambling mansion built in New York State's bucolic Hudson River Valley in 1815. Wearing headphones that allow them to hear one another, they carry out a continuous, 64-minute long ensemble performance while stationed in separate rooms. The music was arranged by Davíð Þór Jónsson, and the repeated lyrics are drawn from the poem "Feminine Ways" by Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir, Kjartansson's ex-wife. The title of the work comes from Swedish pop group ABBA's 1981 album of the same name, which was written at a time of family strife and the breakdown of relations between the group's members. Presented as an immersive nine-channel video and audio installation, The Visitors is a captivating work that demonstrates Kjartansson's unique ability to weave music, atmosphere, and human drama together in a dream-like experience.
Ragnar Kjartansson (1976, Reykjavik, Iceland), lives and works in Reykjavik. Solo exhibitions of his work have been held at the New Museum, New York; Migros Museum fur Gegenwartskunst, Zurich; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; and the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, among others. In 2011, he was awarded Performa's Malcolm McLaren Award, and in 2009 he became the youngest artist to represent Iceland at the Venice Biennale.
Truths and Visions
Joyce J. Scott
(January 19 – May 24, 2015)
Curated by Patterson Sims, Independent Curator
This new exhibition highlights the work of Joyce J. Scott, a sculptor, performance artist, and educator. Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1948 and still based there, Scott began making art in collaboration with her mother, fiber artist Elizabeth Talford, in 1970. Since this time, Scott's African-American, urban, and female identity have inspired her exuberant and often searing vision.
Glass beadwork and small found objects are Scott's primary media, with recent travels to Murano glass-making workshops in Venice, Italy and elsewhere informing larger mixed media sculptures with blown and molded glass. Favoring delicacy, detail, and intimacy, Scott balances autobiographical references with more cosmic and broadly political and sociological content to convey trauma and haunting episodes of rage about African-American and African history, bigotry, injustice, and gender. Scott has declared: "I'm a muckraker and audaciously proud of it. I would like people to be uneasy."
Truths and Visions features the major installation Lynched Tree, (2011–2015) alongside a comprehensive selection of her small-scaled figurines. Originally created for an outdoor site at Prospect 2 in New Orleans, Lynched Tree has been expanded and reconfigured for indoor installation. A monumental symbol of natural and societal destruction, it exemplifies the complex intent and impact of Scott's art.
Joyce J. Scott (1948, Baltimore, MD) lives and works in Baltimore. Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at the California African American Museum, Los Angeles; Baltimore Museum of Art; Contemporary Art Center of Virginia, Virginia Beach; and American Craft Museum, New York. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Museum of Art and Design, New York; Houston Center for Contemporary Art; Bronx Museum, NY; Kentucky Museum of Arts & Design, Louisville; and Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC. Collections holding her work include The Detroit Institute of the Arts; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Joyce J. Scott: Truths and Visions is organized for MOCA Cleveland by Patterson Sims, independent curator. The exhibition will tour to the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, August 28 - October 9, 2015.
Jessica Eaton: Wild Permutations
Rose Bouthillier, Associate Curator
Mueller Family Gallery
February 6— May 24, 2015
Supported in Part by the Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Foundation, and the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation
Using a large format film camera, Eaton has developed an increasingly complex, experimental approach to image making. Wild Permutations, the artist's first solo museum show, focuses on her investigations into the behavior and production of color. Calling up diverse references, from still life vanitas to hard-edge abstraction, color theory diagrams, and optical illusions, Eaton's work deeply engages with vision on physiological, technological, and philosophical terms.
"The best word to describe Eaton's work is "intense": intense colors, intense process, and intense viewing. She is pushing photography to its limits," says Associate Curator Rose Bouthillier. "Eaton is part of a very current and critical conversation amongst photo-based artists. Much of this work is happening in the studio, very experimental practices that question the very nature of the medium."
In 2010, Eaton began photographing grayscale cubes, blocks, and pyramids through red, green, and blue lens filters—primaries on the additive color wheel. Using motion and multiple exposures, she generates layered and blurred chromatic effects, "mixing" colors directly onto the film. In some cases, a single negative will be the product of over 100 exposures. At first glance, Eaton's works can easily be misread as digital manipulations; however, on close viewing, the surface textures, edges, and shadows suggest they are depictions of real objects. These photographs appear to defy the logic of time and space—even as they are produced by the "rational" mechanics of the camera.
Most recently, Eaton has begun a series of floral studies using black-and-white separation negatives along with ultra violet and infrared filters, transcending the limits of visible light to imagine alternative spectra. In these works, multiple negatives are combined in the color carbon process, an early printing technique valued for its brilliant tones and grainless detail. The production and inclusion of this new body of work is made possible through the support of the Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Foundation.
MOCA Cleveland is partnering with Transformer Station to present Wild Permutations across two venues in the city. Transformer Station will show a comprehensive selection of Eaton's cfaal series (2010-2014), on view February 7–May 2, 2015. Both bodies of Eaton's work will come together for an international tour, accompanied by a full-color catalog co-published by MOCA Cleveland, Transformer Station, and Oakville Galleries.
Jessica Eaton: Wild Permutations will tour to Oakville Galleries (Ontario, Canada) from September 30, 2015 to January 3, 2016.
Jessica Eaton (1977, Regina, Canada) lives and works in Montreal, Canada. Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at Contact Photography Festival, Toronto, and The Photographers' Gallery, London. She has been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including New Positions in American Photography (2014), Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam (2014); Phantasmagoria (2013), Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver; Québec Triennial (2011), Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal; and Photography is Magic, Daegu Photography Bienniel, South Korea. Eaton is the recipient of the Magenta Foundation's Bright Spark Award (2011) and the Photography Jury Grand Prize at the International Festival of Fashion and Photography, Hyères, France (2012). In 2013 she was long listed for the AIMIA | AGO Photography Prize.
The 2015 exhibition programs are supported in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and Leadership Circle gifts from the Britton Fund, Doreen and Dick Cahoon, Joanne Cohen and Morris Wheeler, Margaret Cohen and Kevin Rahilly, Victoria Colligan and John Stalcup, Becky Dunn, Lauren Rich Fine and Gary Giller, Barbara and Peter Galvin, Harriet and Victor Goldberg, Agnes Gund, Scott Mueller, Donna and Stewart Kohl, Toby Devan Lewis, and Boake and Marian Sells. All MOCA Cleveland exhibitions and programs are presented with major support from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, The Cleveland Foundation, The George Gund Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, Nesnadny + Schwartz, The Ohio Arts Council and the continuing support of the Museum's Board of Directors, patrons, and members.

What is nice is it is different than the Wii Lego game so the player does not feel like they are repeating the experience.
Some of the graphics and technical aspects are limited, and it does require the stylus. You can choose to follow the storyline from beginning to end or go into "freeplay" after you've beaten a level. My kids all gave the game 4 out of 5 stars. It's a nice, kid-friendly game and here at Parent Grapevine we give it our seal of approval!

So, that being said, I have to share some amazing Photoshop tools from my new acquaintance, Jodi, over at MCP Actions. She has made my life SO much easier as a photographer. I stumbled upon her work when I was searching the internet for some help with Photoshop. Jodi came to the rescue with her video tutorials which are thorough, educational and accessible whenever I need a refresher. She also has some of the best actions out there for Photoshop and Elements. Including the one I'm using below called Newborn Necessities Photoshop Actions. (Believe me, if you're a photographer this is WELL worth it.)
Newborn babies often have a reddish skin tone when they are just a few weeks old. In many cases this red hue disappears as they put on a few pounds and add a little bit of baby fat. But those first few newborn shots often have that red hue and MCP Actions has just the tool (or two) to help you dust it away. In the Before photo you see, the top image is the photo I took straight out of the camera (SOOC), no touch ups were done at all. I loved the composition but the coloring was a bit too red.
I used the "Hush the Reds" from MCP Actions which got rid of the red beautifully. But I also added a little tiny bit of MCP's "Dusting of Baby Powder" to develop the effect I wanted. You can see the results in the bottom photo.
|Before (top), After (bottom)
Our sister blog, Moms Who Click, will have more info on MCP soon so stay tuned. If you're a Photoshop, Elements or Lightroom user, MCP Actions is a must stop on your virtual photographic journey. We HEART MCP Actions!

Eclipse of theSun
More on Colmar Tropicale Resort.
Report from official news agency Bernama datelined Putrajaya May 20 , 2003 14:48pm has this:
"We gave a licence to the club but I think they may have abused the licence and we have instructed this be stopped," he said when asked on the 200 slot machines available there.
This part is eclipsed - edited out - by theSun today, page 2.
Is the common ownership of the two enterprises a factor?
UPDATE: The NST reports on page 6 today, quoting the PM, that the slot machine licence issued to the club at Colmar Tropicale Resort has been revoked as it breached conditions stipulated in the licence.
MARKET MOVEMENTS. KLSE first board company MOL (MOL, 8001) hit limit down yesterday after hitting limit up when trading resumed on Monday.
The counter closed at RM1.62 yesterday, shredding 0.23 sen and easing by almost 30%.
Market sentiments took it as an affirmation that MOL will not be listed under gaming and leisure section of KLSE as rumoured earlier.

All eyes on stimulus plan
The level of anticipation generated by the economic stimulus package is very high. Several trade and professional bodies that I know, especially those from the service industry, are on queue to offer immediate reaction later today, after the PM unveils the plan.
I like the article by Star Business Editor Wong Sulong yesterday, written in his unimitatable layman's language. Highly recommended.

Jangan mati adat...
On May 15, I blogged about the thriving Malay adat as displayed during the wedding reception of Anwar Ibrahim's eldest daughter, Nurul Izzah, recently.
Despite the overpowering UMNO patronage system, I noticed many Malay dignitaries discarded the nuances of political-correctness, side-stepped the divisive intra-Malay partisan politics and bravely came to the fore to cement the silaturrahim among their brethren over a kenduri.
I chronicled that it's customary for a Malay invited to a wedding kenduri to return the gesture with a personal attendance gracing the ceremony irrespective of personal differences and enmity.
The bride's mother seems to share the same view:
Mengenai kebijaksanaan mengundang dari semua kelompok, perlu dijelaskan bahawa kami menjemput semua kenalan lama dan baru, lebih-lebih lagi kerana kami pernah menghadiri majlis kenduri mereka.
Allow me to requote the age-old maxim: "Biar mati anak, jangan mati adat".

Dr M: No casino at Bukit Tinggi
Stop abusing permit for slot machines. Prime Minister Dr Mahathr Mohamad said in Putrajaya the Government has stopped issuing casino licences, and Bukit Tinggi Resort has been directed to stop abusing its permit issued only for gaming machines.
Dr Mahathir, who is also the Finance Minister, was commenting on speculations the government had issued a second casino licence to Berjaya Group.
Read my blog on Pahang menteri besar's statement regarding Colmar Tropicale, April 27. The breaking news is quite contradictory to the original story.
But then, Glen Newey of University of Strathclyde, Britain, has a scientific theory for this.

Khir Toyo and OSA
Call for transparency. Editor of fortnightly Malaysian Business, Charles Raj, devotes his May 16 commentary on Selangor menteri besar Dr Mohd. Khir Toyo.
His commentary focusses on the recent controversy in Selangor over allegations of granting of state land on the cheap to exco members, relatives and top officials and that proper procedures were not being followed.
Khir had threatened to punish state government servants who revealed such information. He has even threatened to use the Official Secret Act (OSA).
For this, Charles comments:
It might be timely to remind ourselves that the OSA is designed to stop Government secrets from falling into the wrong hands. Politicians should not be tempted to use it to withhold information, or worse, cover up abuses and corruption.
Charles says the Selangor menteri besar seems to be prone to creating controversies, from 'die and let die' treatment of hardcore drug addicts to anti-vice raids and advisory to women whose husbands patronise vice dens.
I leave it to you to read the juices in the print copy, but this is Charles' parting shot on Page 10:
It would do him good to remember the rise and fall of his predecessor.

This Wednesday and Friday...
Much ado... The market was abuzz with two pieces of news yesterday: The latest economic stimulus package to be announced by the PM this Wednesday, and a MCA power trasfer to be staged this Friday.
ECONOMY: The Edge ran the news on economic stimulus package on May 16, and AFP and NST picked it up yesterday. This is after several false starts when Pak Lah was acting PM.
POWER: Last week, Sin Chew Daily said the MCA Central Committee will make an "important announcement" at an emergency meeting on Friday. I took note of the short notice given - less than a week required under Article 165.3 of the party's constitution.
Talk to any taxicab driver and businessmen at golf courses and the cigar dens, they will tell you the MCA opera has been reprised twice over in the form of wolf-cries. It has been related - rightly or wrongly - to a party president who wanted to resign but he has been too indispensible to the Cabinet and the country.
I am researching on Ng Cheng Kiat. At the drop of a hat, he left the Cabinet in 1990 on the word 'Go!" - on his own accord.
He left behind a Chinese saying that lingers till this day, "You ren chi guan gui gu li, you ren lou ye gan ke chang". In simple translation, it means "Just when there are people resigning from officialdom to balik kampung, there are as many who rush the night trips reporting for duty".
So, the market is merely on reacting mode as there is nothing that you have not already known.

Her rescue will go down as one of the most stunning pieces of news management yet conceived. It provides a remarkable insight into the real influence of Hollywood producers on the Pentagon's media managers, and has produced a template from which America hopes to present its future wars.
The line that separates politics from media and journalism is getting thinner and thinner, so it seems.

I have probably written numerous times on stress and how I handle it. Yoga surely helps and exercise, etc, etc. All these you can read anywhere on the internet or in hard-form. One thing that I have learnt clearly is that your breath is your friend in times of stress. When you are stressed or even when you are getting distracted, you have to turn your attention to your breath. Watch and feel it as it enters your nostril and follow it on its journey in and out. Just the fact that you tell your mind to take attention away from whatever that is causing stress or the distraction is a great starting point. Just a few moments of noticing your breath and following it does wonders to the state of mind. We have to thank God twice for the breath – once for its life-sustaining ability and secondly for helping us maintain balance.

With just 5 weeks to go until we head off to Peru, I thought that it was about time I read the guide book!
Top Peru Facts:
- The population of Peru is almost 28 million – that's over 5 times that of Scotland!
- The highest point in the country is 6768m above sea level – the highest point we'll be reaching on our trek is at Dead Woman's Pass, which is just shy of 4200m.
- Peru's national dish is called Cerviche – fresh fish soaked in lime juice and chilles – yum!
- Access to the Inca Trail is limited to just 200 trekkers per day. Tickets have to be booked around 9 months in advance. We're really very lucky to be able to take part in this challenge.
However, by far and away my favourite Peru fact is that as a group, we've already raised over £30,000 to fight Motor Neurone Disease – and that amount is only going to grow. I'm so very proud to be a part of it.

Hard to get Principal to call back.
Their excess was higher.
Didn't recognise the insurance company they were putting me with.
Would have liked to support them but Carole Nash was approx 15 cheaper and includes European breakdown cover so I went with them.
My premium is 238............how much cheaper can it really get while still providing the service I want??
Sent from a OnePlusX.
Yes but if you were in the AA how much would the subscription be? Although you payed 238 to the insurance co. that was broken down into separate policy's. You probably have legal coverage too. The wholesale cost of your breakdown cover was probably €30. Look at all the 1000s of €30 that are payed in without any payout. I've never heard of anyone claiming legal assistance. JJH
I'm happy with mine 304 fully comp. obviously I'd like it cheaper but I wouldn't be one for moving for a €10. JJH
Got my renewal quote this week for the fully comp policy on my lebbenfiddy, £89.45. It has gone up this year.
There are two opinions of the GS. There are those who have ridden one who think its fantastic and there are those who haven't who know its crap.
Got my renewal from principal gone down by €40 from last year to €277 fully comp this year
Happy days
Was with CN for many years....Their 2017 quote left me laughing (2014 RT), Moved to Principal for €249 (Underwriter Tanzer)...
Went to do a Temp insurance transfer to a 171 GS as mine was in for Service and Tanzer have since changed their underwriting Policy, Will not insure bikes over 13K.... WTF
Lads, I'm in a situation where I am actually claiming on my motorcycle insurance policy (first time in 25 years) We sometimes get caught up in how much the "cert" is going to cost for the year but there is a lot more to it.
I really wished I had stayed with AXA and not got hung up on the newer lower premiums. Before you part with your money, make sure you ask all the questions that might have a bearing should you have to actually claim from these overseas underwriters.
Sat for 20 mins yesterday on my mobile to a UK number in a queue, to get the ball rolling on my claim......gave up. Today I actually drove into the brokers and got them to get me the UK underwriters on the phone so I could give details of the incident, which happened on Saturday morning.
If I was with AXA , it could all be sorted face to face with someone.
At one stage, I was put on hold so the young claims handler could set up a conference call with the DVLA to varify my driving license, after me questioning this and telling him I'm Irish and calling from Ireland...........I'll never get that 5 mins back.
Be careful what you wish for!!!!!
This race to the bottom is exactly that..........a race to the bottom.

Rightly so, given that such a ban did little to protect the share prices of Halifax Bank of Scotland and the Royal Bank of Scotland in the autumn of 2008.
As was noted in last week's Sunday Telegraph, shorting in the Big Four quoted UK banks is at such low levels that a ban would not have made much difference in any case.
But whether as a result of the ban or not, or a reflection of market sentiment more generally, British banks rebounded on Friday, with Barclays closing up 5.83pc and RBS ending the day 5.5pc higher.
That is of course not to say that the next five trading days will be quite so kind. Indeed, I would argue that until September 12, and perhaps thereafter, such volatility, albeit maybe not as marked, will continue.
For on that day the five-man Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) will provide its final report into the UK banking sector, setting out, as expected, a strict ring-fencing approach which will force banks to separate the way they hold capital for their retail and investment subsidiaries.
However, it is worth remembering that before the ICB got caught up on the idea that ring-fencing is the only way to prevent future crises, one of the Chancellor's original aims was to create a structure that would allow future market stability.
The events of the past week have shown such stability is a long way off – but it is not because the retail funds are held on the same balance sheet as those of their investment-banking brethren.
No, the concern in the last week has focused on sovereign debt, and whether certain banks are over-exposed to debts of countries which may or may not be on the verge of a ratings downgrade.
Rather than restricting trading – and preventing markets from being efficient – as former Credit Agricole chief executive Georges Paguet rightly told The Sunday Telegraph what is needed is for banks to be far more honest about what it is they are holding as collateral.
It is already known that UK banks have been attempting to brush off attempts by the Financial Services Authority to force them to provide greater detail about the sort of sovereign debts they own.
But in a climate of fear, as existed for much of the last week, is it not better for all concerned to be upfront and honest about the cards they are holding rather than attempt some form of perverse game of bluff? Perhaps it is this sort of measure that the ICB – currently in its report-writing phase – should be considering, rather than creating unhelpful, largely uncosted structures which might force financial institutions to think twice about where they locate their employees in future.
Evolution equivocation
Approaches from one quoted company to another are not easy at the best of the times. When they are being conducted in the most violent trading period since the financial crisis, it's harder still.
So it is with Investec's very tentative approach to Evolution Group. On August 4, Investec confirmed that it had made a "preliminary approach regarding a potential share offer" for the entire issued share capital of Evolution. Reading between the lines, as many noted at the time, Investec is far more interested in Evo's growing wealth management business than it is in its securities arm. And rightly so.
Despite a number of attempts to fix the securities business – first by hiring a team from Kleinwort Benson, then by attempting a foiled merger with Panmure Gordon – it remains a difficult business focused as it is on the over-crowded small and mip-cap broking space. I understand there is a degree of concern among some at Evolution that should a formal approach be made the eventual offer may be at a discount to what it would be if the securities arm did not exist.
As matters stand, of course, there is no firm offer, and a date for due diligence to begin has not yet been set. However, it is worth noting that Investec said in its original announcement that it is seeking a fully recommended offer, meaning any dissent among board members could prevent a deal before talks have even got under way.
Right stuff after riots
Given the volatile events of the last seven days on the world's stock markets, it would be quite easy to dismiss what happened at the start of the week in a number of English cities as localised violence and looting that has more to do with social unrest and poverty than it does to with business.
But on Monday night, living as I do just off St John's Road in Clapham Junction, I witnessed up close the real horror of the looting that took place. As hordes of youths streamed past my windows for more than two hours, I was both alarmed and saddened that something so tragic could be happening this close to the centre of what is supposed to be one of the world's leading cities
Afterwards, I surveyed the devastation with a friend. The surrounding streets were littered with unwanted carrier bags from Boots and JD Sports, coat hangers, and a line of New Look shoes, simply discarded on the ground because they were not in pairs. The next day, as has been well documented, a tribe of so-called 'riot wombles' came and cleaned up the mess.
But what has happened since has been less well documented. All along that road – and on Lavender Hill which was also badly effected – traders and shopkeepers have got back to work. Shelves have been replenished, windows have
been reglazed and opening hours have slowly been extended.
Certainly, for those shops that are part of national chains, recovering from the damage caused on Monday evening has been less of a problem. Debenhams, the scene of much of the looting, reopened to warm applause from local residents, yesterday, for example.
But for the independent retailers, it has not been so easy. Some who shall remain nameless remain closed, their windows bordered up, as owners perhaps question whether they can afford to reopen.
In an economy where the emphasis is all too often put on consumerism and big box retail, the importance of small traders to Britain's high streets should not be forgotten. Much has been said of the spirit of the masses in recent days, who came out to clean up and speak up against the minority who were responsible for last week's spate of violence.
But the spirit of the nation's shopkeepers – many of whom are too scared and too intimidated to reopen their doors – should also not be underestimated as our high streets return to some semblance of normality.

Fifteen years ago, I gave my little boy a small red ball on his first birthday. It was shiny. It was just the right size for him to hold with both hands. He loved it! Actually, I bought it for myself because it held special meaning to me, but I knew he would love it! Soon, it became just another toy in the toy box so I eventually pulled it out for safekeeping. Since then, I have kept it near as a constant reminder to maintain a clear head, focus on the positives in life and live intentionally.

There's a brand of small handheld Intel Windows/Linux PC with a built-in controller called the GPD WIN, which has the size and form-factor of a 3DS. Mainly the first iteration was used for emulators. They're coming out with a new iteration in a few days (creatively called GPD WIN 2) that can supposedly handle some recent-ish games on low resolution like GTA5, Doom 4, Skyrim, Street Fighter 4/5, and so on.
Has anybody else heard of this thing or even own one? I'm thinking of picking one up for intercontinental plane flights, to go along with my Switch. (BTW, this is kind of a lame sub question about Steam and PC gaming, but can I play ANY of that stuff without a persistent internet connection on Steam?)

Since summer is nearly over (tears) I've been doing a lot of shopping to cheer myself up. Also I lot of my makeup ran out at the same time, why does that always happen? Never just one product every week or so. But any excuse to shop! I thought I'd just share what I've bought.
This Lady Million Fragrance was a bargain at only €30 reduced from €50. Once I smelled this in the shop, I couldn't leave without it! Perfect for a transition to autumn.
I wrote about this scrub in a previous post but my original had ran out so had to repurchase
Chocolate Shimmer Rimmer Lipstick €6.99
Nyx Powder:
This feels gorgeous and soft to touch and a bargain at €3.50
Essential eyebrow pencil - Rimmel
A great dupe for the Naked palette and only €7!
Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot:
I got a sample of this a few months ago and was amazed by how fast this gets rid of spots. Its a little more epensive as a spot treatment at €10 but you only need a tiny drop and last ages!
E45 Intense Moisture Lotion:
If you've read preious post you may know I have eczema. This works wonders and is part of my daily routine.
Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner:
Dying to try this an i'll let you know how I get on!
Lots of Love

The House of Representatives will vote on a Republican health-care bill on Thursday, but passage is uncertain as critics in the president's own party balk at a plan that would hurt the working class and working seniors who voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.
The bill's future is almost certainly doomed in the Senate, where at least 10 Republicans, including our own Sen. Tom Cotton, know the devastating effect repeal of the Affordable Care Act would have in Arkansas, where more than 300,000 people have benefited from Medicaid expansion. That is why Gov. Asa Hutchinson, along with a handful of moderate GOP governors, such as John Kasich of Ohio, oppose the American Health Care Act, their party's proposed Obamacare repeal legislation, which would cause 24 million people to lose their insurance.
The American Health Care Act, the governors wrote, "provides almost no new flexibility for states, does not ensure the resources necessary to make sure no one is left out, and shifts significant new costs to states."
Hit the hardest will be the working poor and their children and seniors between 55 and 63 who are too young to retire. Those seniors could see their premiums increase more than 800 percent, according to the AARP.
Here's something else you might not know: Medicaid covers 67 percent of births in Arkansas, but that will change if in 2020 Medicaid turns into a block grant and is capped at current levels for states and their residents, whose benefits will be frozen even if health-care costs rise, as they surely will. That will hurt Arkansas, which depends heavily on Medicare and Medicaid to keep its hospitals open, especially in small towns and rural areas.
Thousands of nursing home residents and elderly folks living at home also receive help from Medicaid. Their benefits could run out in three years if their needs are ignored.
Obamacare repeal will not happen anytime soon as Congress realizes that taking insurance away from 24 million people is wrong and will hurt almost every state burdened with rising health-care costs. For a poor state like Arkansas, which receives far more in federal aid than it sends to Washington in taxes, it would mean a loss of a stimulus program that not only insures our fellow citizens but pays our hospitals for the services they render instead of writing them off as charity care.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, Republican of Louisiana, told The New York Times last week, "There's a widespread recognition that the federal government, Congress, has created the right for every American to have health care." He said throwing people off their insurance or making coverage unaffordable would only shift costs back to taxpayers by overburdening emergency rooms.
"If you want to be fiscally responsible, then coverage is better than no coverage," Cassidy said. Just ask any hospital administrator in the area how cutting off insurance for hundreds of thousands of Arkansans would affect North Metro Medical Center, St. Vincent's Hospital, UAMS and all the rest. Many would close their doors forever.

Berlin, Berlin, Deutschlandhttp://fuculture.net/f-u-c-pedal/
Cycling is ambivalent. It's a warm sunbeam on your arm, a cooling wind on your sweaty face as well as burning legs on a steep climb. It's your best friend and your worst enemy at the same time. No Ying without a Yang.
However riding your bike means to overcome barriers – not to build them. Due to the complexity of living in a constantly changing city like Berlin, [pedal] sees itself as the counter opposite to the stiffness of traditional cycling clubs & venues. Our goal is to create a space where you can ride your bike in an atmosphere that acknowledges the challenges of modern city life.

Marcus Lattimore set to graduate from South Carolina
Four years after leaving South Carolina to join the NFL, Marcus Lattimore has returned to Columbia to pursue another dream: Earn a college diploma.
Lattimore, who played two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before a pair of knee injuries ended his career, has returned to campus to finish his degree in Public Health. The former running back is set to graduate May 6, as reported by the Greenville News' Willie T. Smith III.
"This is a proud day," Lattimore told Smith while donning his cap and gown at South Carolina's Ring Day ceremony. "Sitting through the ring ceremony watching everybody reading all their accomplishments and then you hear your name.
"May 6, at 3 p.m. I graduate from college. Not a lot of people do that, especially in my family. Words can't really describe — it's going to be a proud day. It really is. It ranks up there really high."
Lattimore recently tried to take an official position with the Gamecocks as an advisor to the players, but the NCAA ruled he couldn't accept the job, citing it would create an unfair recruiting advantage because of the work he does with youth football camps and The Marcus Lattimore Foundation.
While Lattimore was disappointed by the NCAA's decision, he knows a degree will open up a lot of doors for him in the future.
"Whatever doors open, whatever I find interesting — I'm going to put myself into so many different situations that I know I'm going to find another passion," he said. "I'm going to mentor. I'm going to shadow. I'm going to be around all different kinds of businesses because that's what I want to do."

In a surprise and not-so-surprising turn of events it seems Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth will indeed be arriving in Europe and it's once again NIS America aiding Atlus in this task. It's a bit unorthodox as this was not announced as a press release or in any usual manner. Instead, NISA's Chris King took to the MegaTen Reddit page to clarify on last week's Nintendo of Europe's sneaky but vague PR announcement since they have yet to officially announce this themselves, which understandably caused some confusion.
Greetings doods! My name is Chris King and I work at NIS America, and help out particularly in our European Division.
We are bringing Persona Q over to Europe this year, just like Nintendo of Europe had announced during E3 last week. We have not released our official announcement yet, so that is why there may have been some confusion.
I believe a few of us will be jumping on Reddit from time to time to answer questions that you guys might have (which really, is something we should have been doing a long time ago)
I hope you guys in Europe are stoked for PQ =)

Texas A&M picks up commitment No. 18
Texas A&M coaches will have one more reason to be thankful Thursday.
Ikenna Okeke, a 3-star safety from Smyrna (Tenn.) High School, committed to Texas A&M over Missouri, Notre Dame and Stanford, according to his Twitter account.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder becomes the Aggies' 18th commitment for this year's recruiting class. Okeke is also the only true safety commit for the Aggies.
He is ranked as the nation's No. 32 safety and is the state of Tennessee's No. 14 overall recruit.

In the meantime, I will grace you with 6 Weirdish things about me, which Mermaid_Misk tagged me with awhile back. I'm not sure how weird these really are, but here you go:
Six weird things:
1. I LOVE to file things. And organize stuff. And do puzzles. (Bringing order from chaos?) I think my ideal job would be reshelving books at the library.I think everyone in the world has done this Meme now - but if you *haven't* and decide to, let me know!
2. I love"genre" books, TV shows, and movies. I discovered science fiction /fantasy literature in grade school and am still a sucker for a good supernatural TV series. I miss Buffy terribly… I am currently enjoying Heroes, however.
3. I am an herbal addict. I am fascinated by their history and lore. I am captivated by their flavors and scents. I grow every type that I can find and have room for and am always looking for new and interesting ways to put them to use.
4. I collect buttons. I love looking at and sorting them by color and type into antique glass jars. Each button can be a tiny, individual work of art – they fascinate me. (and we won't even start with my collections of shells, glass beads, books, McCoy pottery, more books, etc…)
5. I appear to be a Celtophile… I am so drawn to all things old-Celtic – art, music, mythology/legend, archeology… The biggest pull is fairly specific in time and place (pre-Christian, central west coast of Ireland… go figure. I don't believe in past lives, so what is that about???) My kids are totally sick of hearing Celtic music in the car and in the background.
6. I have broken my left ankle three times – three years apart each time. That must mean something….

Food & Drink Thursday, April 20th
Making ale with Hereford River Carnival and Wye Valley Brewery
The rise of the micro brewer has been reviving real ale sales for several years, simultaneously satisfying thirsty hipsters while shining new light on Britain's beer making ability. Last year a study showed an 8% rise in new breweries - some 1,700 across the country - with popularity and profitability showing no sign of slowing down.
Herefordshire is home to its fair share of successful small brewers, not least Wye Valley Brewery - producers of Butty Bach, HPA and 1985.
We recently spent a day at the brewery's Stoke Lacy HQ; mashing in, sniffing hops and realising that maybe, just maybe, if we'd paid more attention in chemistry we might be making beer as often as drinking it.
We were at the brewery to help Hereford River Carnival create a new beer for the 2017 event. The result - Thirsty Mermaid - is a fresh, fruity golden pale ale. You can grab a bottle when you head down to the carnival on the banks of the Wye in Hereford on April 28 and 29.
Until then, here's a behind the scenes look at how Thirsty Mermaid was made.
Thirsty Mermaid was made and named as part of Hereford River Carnival's Name the Carnival Beer competition. Here's winner Karen Jackson from Tupsley with her partner John (both seated) collecting their prize of a dozen bottles of Thirsty Mermaid from carnival organiser Pete Redding.
The 2017 carnival kicks off at 8pm on Friday, April 28 when a colourful street procession promises to bring creatures from the Mappa Mundi to life. Mappa Mundi: Out of the Museum, Into the Streets will snake its way from Hereford Cathedral to Bishops Meadow where, at 10pm, creatures and characters from the medieval map will journey down the river. Expect lights, fire and interactive street theatre.
The following day thousands of people are expected on Bishops Meadow and Castle Green for arts, crafts, food, drink and sports. Highlights include an Indie Food Village with A Rule of Tum, The Beefy Boys, Old Granary Pierogi, Rocket Cafe and more; a dog show; Hereford Rotary Club's annual Charity Duck Race; and live music stages curated by Nozstock Festival and The Music Pool.
For the full programme, head to rivercarnival.org.uk.
