Transport Canada plans to introduce new rules for smaller drone models next year that will see the increasingly popular technology regulated in a way more closely resembling how vehicles are licensed.
In a notice of proposed amendment posted by the transport authority last week, officials laid out their concerns that there is a growing risk posed to manned aircraft by the increased used of drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as they are officially known, and presented its proposed changes. It also launched a 90-day consultation process for the changes and is asking for feedback from stakeholders on whether its proposals are effective.
"As their popularity increases, so does interference with manned aircraft. This presents unique challenges in developing regulations to safely integrate UAVs into Canada's airspace," reads the notice. "In 2016, Transport Canada intends to introduce regulatory requirements for UAVs 25 kgs or less that are operated within visual line-of-sight."
Under current Canadian laws, operators of UAVs that weigh more than 25 kilograms are required to get a Special Flight Operations Certificate to fly them.
Those certificates impose conditions on the use of the specific UAV being certified, such as maximum altitudes, minimum distances from people and property, operating times and areas and requires users to coordinate with air traffic services.
However, anyone flying a UAV that weighs less than 25 kilograms does not need to get permission to fly — they just need to follow Transport Canada guidelines that say they must say at least nine kilometres away from airports, not fly at night and not fly over people.
That is expected to change next year, when Transport Canada says it is considering requiring operators of small UAVs to obtain a pilot permit and set the minimum age of use at 16 wihtout adult supervision or 14 with adult supervision. Operators of the smaller model drones would also be required to obtain training as part of the permitting process and pass a Transport Canada written exam, which would be created specifically for UAVs.
The UAVs would also have to be registered and marked: overall, it's progress one researcher says is similar to how governments began regulating automobiles back in the early days of their use.
"A lot of these seem to be lining it up almost more with driving," said Kristen Thomasen, a drone researcher at the University of Ottawa. "I can see that there are a lot of parallels there."
Thomasen says the proposed changes are essentially an acknowledgement of the growing popularity and potential of UAVs and are aimed at making sure the law keeps up the changing technology.
It comes just over three months since the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration announced it was also considering a new lower weight category for UAVs with less restrictive operating rules.
The European Aviation Safety Agency, Australia and the United Kingdom are also in the process of re-evaluating their UAV regulations with the aim of creating more coordinated rules for the use of the devices.
However, the rules don't change how UAVs can be used commercially — such as by delivery companies — but Transport Canada did say that it is aware of the need to eventually look more into those regulations.
"There is growing potential for UAVs in a variety of commercial activities," the notice reads. "As such, Transport Canada will need to consider trade-related implications of UAV use."
The use of drones has expanded threefold since 2008, according to Transport Canada, and since 2010 officials have conducted 50 investigations into improper use of the devices.
Along with the increase in their popularity has come questions about how UAVs fit within the existing privacy laws in Canada: specifically, how to put checks and balances in place on their use where it concerns privacy.
In a 2013 report called "Drones in Canada: Will the proliferation of domestic drone use in Canada raise new concerns about privacy?" the privacy commissioner stressed the challenges in regulating UAVs from a privacy perspective and explained that transportation authorities in both Canada and the U.S. have said they do not feel they have the authority to regulate privacy issues related to UAVs.
While drones were initially developed for military use, their transition into the civilian sphere means officials will need to deal with issues such as how and where drone-mounted cameras can be used, Thomasen said.
"I still see some gaps in the legislative framework, in the law and policy framework simply because the law right now mainly focused on safety, which is incredibly important but there are other issues that arise and will continue to arise — one of the major ones being privacy," she said, noting there is also a need to address emerging concerns about how UAVs impact use and enjoyment of public space, issues around liability for what they do and the security challenges posed by the devices.
Thomasen says while the proposed changes leave a lot of gaps in existing legislation, they are a good start towards making sure drones are used safely and effectively — so long as the government recognizes the need to continue more in-depth regulation of the devices and considers further collaboration with regulators beyond Transport Canada, such as the privacy commissioner.
"I can see where some of these proposals look to be trying to address some of that," she said. "We might need to find a way to strike a different balance. I think that's something we need to start thinking about now."

After a week of holiday, its time to get to work again. During the festive season I see gold prices fluctuating, from an average of USD 870 - USD 890 an ounce to USD 820 - USD 830 an ounce. The volatility of gold prices might reflect the economic conditions we are facing at the moment. I'm not sure whether the USD 700B bailout plan was passed by the congress although it was given a passing by the US Senate Comittee. However it makes me think, how will the greatest bailout of all times will affect our lives.
1. Before the bailout was in uncertainty we see the stock market rally up a bit and the gold prices were crashing down. At the moment, it seems like the bailout is mandatory to keep their banking system alive ( as like in life support machine ).
2. After the bailout passes, the stock market crashes again and gold prices rally up as in today. The KLCI fell again below 1000 points and so all other bourses in the region.
3. We see another bailout for Fortis Bank which has been bought by BNP of France. It looks like its another casualty of the Credit Crunch.
4. Commodity prices has been falling, on signs that the biggest economy on earth which is the US is in recession. Consumer spending has been declining. Thus, brining down prices from crude oil, crude palm oil and bla bla bla bla ...
5. If the price of crude oil is declining, crude palm oil is declining, rubber is declining, will the demand for electronic product decline? and the strengthening value of USD means that our export value is decreasing because we are paid less.
6. Its look like our 2nd biggest trade partner which is Singapore is also in economic pressure and the US which as we all know are already in deep shit. It is likely the demand of our products and produce will decline soon and who knows how will it affect us.
7. For the past decade, it looks like the economic boom was fueled by cheap credits. Banks offering cheap credit to public without regarding their credit worthiness, suddenly people were flooded with money. It looks like the party is over now.
8. Some economic expert are revealing that all these US financial institution is keeping toxic financial derivative products in their books and the value are reaching as high as USD 500 trillion. So, my question is, how will USD 700B will help to cover USD 500 trillion in losses ? It looks like that USD 700B is not a bailout, it is just an attempt to delay the impending doom of financial armageddon. USD 700B is such a small number compared to USD 500 Trillion, its just the tip of an iceberg.
9. If we apply the "fractional reserve" rule. It means that the US has just flooded the market with USD 7 trillion of debts for all to enjoy. Maybe buy some shelter before the financial armageddon becomes imminent and guess what ... the American Public gets to pay the bill.
10. Economist say that the influx of those " debt " created money will create inflation. But it seems like with the declining value of commodities such as crude oil from its all time high seems like deflation to me. Or ... is it some sort of market manipulation by the " cartel " ? Whatever it is, in my opinion, if you have the capital power and political will, manipulation is a simple game to play.
11. Well, its doesnt look like our banks are going to fail unless they themselves has been fooled by those toxic derivative products. I dont see we're going to get the credit crunch treatment. But I see slower growth in the coming month. I might be wrong, but time will tell.

More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Last home softball game of the year.
The Louisiana Techsters played their last game of the year last night. It was a good game against Northwestern and went to two extra innings before the Techsters won.
I have my eye on the ball!
View of pitcher and first base.
Interesting clouds over the scoreboard.
We won 4 to 3.

I also remember him using his position as editor of Byte (back in 1992) to warn programmers not to vote for Clinton on the grounds that the anti-capitalist Democrats would be bad for the computer industry.

"Spirits' Homecoming," a film directed by Cho Jung Lae, is currently touring U.S. campuses. The 2015 film focuses on the controversial topic of the 200,000 Korean women forced to work in Japanese military brothels during World War II. They were euphemistically known as comfort women.
Director Cho Jung Lae was inspired to make his film after he saw a painting by one of the comfort women survivors. It showed her memory of soldiers taking young sex slaves to a burning pit. He could not erase the image from his mind.
It was not an easy film for Cho to make as the subject was very controversial and he was an indie filmmaker with few options for financial backing.
In an interview with The New York Times in March 2015, he spoke about the opposition he faced while trying to raise money for his film.
"They asked me why I wanted to throw salt on an old wound," said Cho. "They see the subject of comfort women as a history of shame."
Since Cho knew he could not get commercial funding, he crowdsourced the film and about 70,000 people contributed. A few of the actors worked without pay.
Cho's film focuses on the fictional story of two young girls who were forced to become comfort women during the war. But the story is based on his interviews with surviving comfort women.
The film took Cho more than a decade to make. While he was filming it, Japan filed a lawsuit against the film, claiming there was no evidence that Japanese soldiers took Korean women by force. Despite the difficulties, the film was finally released in 2015. Cho wanted to release it to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.
The subject still remains controversial and continues to factor in the relationship between Japan and Korea. Only 46 of the 200,000 women are alive today. It is possible that the release of the film early in 2015 played a part in Japan finally offering an official apology for the wartime actions later that year. In December 2015 South Korea officially accepted Japan's apology. Japan offered to contribute around $8 million to a victim's fund for former comfort women but did not accept any legal responsibility. Part of the deal was that this ended any discussions about past actions. According to a recent article in the English news outlet The Guardian, some of the surviving comfort women said that the apology was not enough.
The film will be shown at the University of Connecticut, Brown University and Northern Virginia Community College.

A beautiful collaboration of technology, voluntarism, and story-telling is the motto behind KnowYourStar. Passion Connect met yet another passionate person Jaideep Rao who is the co-founder of this firm. Meeting this person as part of our mentorship program was a different experience for us. Here is Jaideep who is concerned about the rural kids and their future, someone who is working along with volunteers associated with his firm to provide bright future for the kids.
Following their passion, people at KYS are using several programs like Mentor India to educate children in an innovative way. They have a story to tell the kids and through the stories and interactions, they analyze the interests of the kids and what they are good at. In a way, they help kids to follow their passion with their unique tools and software and mentorship from volunteers. Connecting the kids to their interests, to help them pointing in the right direction and also provide the various opportunities in the desired field is how KYS works. Volunteers, however, are the key to making this happen, by connecting to schools, by conducting workshops and spreading the word and helping the students.
Providing plenty of possible options
Jaideep Rao, inspired by his own life where he wished he was told about the innumerable possibilities and career opportunities in his field of interest, he decided to provide the same for the next generation. Keeping in mind the various hurdles and lack of awareness about the career options, Jaideep felt it was time he came up with something to help out the future kids to have a clarity of path they wish to take. By doing so, he feels students are benefitted in making the right choices and living their passion. We at Passion Connect are proud to have met Jaideep who has good intentions and made it his passion to help others.
Transformation is easier with the right motivation
Jaideep tells us how his life changed from being a techie to co founding KYS. Although the project started out as a hobby, he quit his job and now he is dedicated to helping the kids out. But he says since his intentions were clear, it worked as a motivation for him to start his project. But he is a guy who is grateful for his time as an engineer as it helped him learn about the technical aspects needed for KnowYourStar and incredible work ethics.
Together anything is possible
Jaideep is super proud of his team and how they are so close knit. He mentioned instances where his team also consisting of volunteers raised funds needed, and how the interaction between them (mentors/volunteers) helped the students. Being part of a social cause, he says teamwork is highly important. He counts his blessing as how his team has come together and how they help each other out in the firm.
Youths for social cause
Jaideep believes that it is every child's right to know about the future possibilities and how he or she can contribute to the society or to the country. Keeping this in mind, he thinks it is the youth that has that potential to help kids around us. Social entrepreneurship will be boosted to a great extent when the youth of the country join hands and come together. Spreading awareness about social problems and helping the kids to live their passion is something that is sacred to the team of KnowYourStar.
Those of you who are interested in doing something to make a difference in the society, those who wish to volunteer and help the kids of the country, KnowYourStar is the place for you. Passion Connect wishes good luck to the team and appreciate the great work they are doing towards the society. #LiveYourPassion

Dubious Miss captures Ben Ali
Heading into the weekend, Dubious Miss had won 7 of 18 starts and more than $339,000 while competing against top-class competition. The only thing missing from his list of accomplishments was a graded stakes victory.
Not any more. Sunday, racing over a Polytrack surface on which he has never been defeated at Keeneland, Dubious Miss dominated the by a length and a half.
The outcome never appeared in doubt. With little speed in the Ben Ali, jockey Calvin Borel was able to put Dubious Miss on the lead with moderate splits of 24.42 and 48.66 seconds in the 1 1/8-mile race, under only token pressure from longshot Timber Reserve.
Midway on the second turn the latter began to weaken, and with Dubious Miss having plenty left in reserve, he drew off under confident handling from Borel. He raced 1 1/8 miles on the Polytrack in 1:49.60, paying $6.60 as the favorite.
"He loves this track," said Borel, who is 7 for 9 riding the horse, having been aboard for all for but one of his victories.
Kiss The Kid, making his first start on a synthetic surface after having raced exclusively on turf and dirt, ran well in his Polytrack debut, stalking the pace in third early and advancing to second at the finish, two lengths ahead of late-running Giant Oak in third.
Grade 1 turf winner Just As Well, making his first start since finishing seventh in the Japan Cup Nov. 29, rallied belated to be fourth while never a threat in his first start on a synthetic track.
The winner, a 6-year-old Dubai gelding owned and bred by David Holloway, is likely to race next during the Churchill Downs meet, trainer Paul McGee said.
The signature race for older horses this spring and summer at Churchill Downs is the Grade 1, $600,000 Stephen Foster Handicap June 12, a race that has been discussed as an option for champion mare Zenyatta.

I survived the crash............and decided to do some research.
This is N9102V, a 1986 model Piper PA46/310P Malibu. ;The aircraft was formerly in the rental fleet of the Epps Air Service -Flight School located at Peachtree-Dekalb Airport in Atlanta, GA. At the time of the crash in December of 1995, it reportedly had accumulated 1920 hours total time with 1789.2 hours on the engine. This time accumulated over a period of approximately 10 years. Inspection of the wreckage and review of the Factory Maintenance and Overhaul Manuals of Piper Aircraft Corporation and Teledyne Continental Motors has narrowed the focus of this research to four areas.
1. The Continental Fuel Injection Manual (Part #X30593A) indicates that the Continental "Rotary Vane" type engine driven fuel pump may develop an internal leak in the pressure side of the pump and discharge fuel through the fuel pump seal bypass drain while the system is under pressure. ;Another indicator of ;potential fuel pump failure is an unexplained rise in the crankcase level on the engine dipstick. This would indicate bushing and shaft wear at the drive end of the fuel pump and/or an obstructed seal bypass drain line which would allow case pressure to build within the pump housing, causing fuel to bypass the seal and potentially leak into the crankcase.
2. While the Continental Continuous Flow Fuel Injection System is used in a number of other Continental engines, the Malibu version of the fuel pump is unique in that it incorporates an Aneroid Pressure Chamber to sense changes in induction pressure as they occur in the pressure side of the engine intake system. This allows the system to compare atmospheric pressure to manifold pressure and vary the fuel pressure and flow available to the throttle body accordingly. A pressure leak in the aneroid chamber bellows may "fool" the system into believing it is operating at a higher or lower altitude and lead to an "over rich" or "over lean" condition in the fuel system. This condition may result in partial or complete loss of engine power.
3. ;There are reports of ;Fuel Pump Drive Coupling disengagement. Indications are that some of the shafts are too short. When combined with shoulder wear on the drive end of the fuel pump and shoulder wear to the hex on the crankshaft, drive coupling disengagement is apparently possible.

The Continental Parts Manual shows Part #s 646571-1 and 649374-1 fuel pumps as the correct applications for the TSIO520BE, however the manual goes on to say that these units are not field serviceable but must be replaced with a new unit or returned to Continental for overhaul. ;The pump replacement cost ;at a reported $8,000 to $10,000 is very high. The high cost (possibly due to limited production) combined with customer complaints and service issues apparently led Continental to recently issue ;Service Bulletin 97-13 as an alternative.

The consensus among Malibu pilots who have contacted us is that the 2000 hour TBO for the Continental TSIO520BE series engine may be acceptable. ;However the repair histories shared with us by pilots and mechanics familiar with the Malibu indicate that a 5 year or 1000 hour service level might be more appropriate for the fuel pump and the aneroid chamber.

It's the sixtieth anniversary of Akira Kurosawa's classic action drama that's inspired everything from Westerns (four MAGNIFICENT SEVEN films) to science fiction (Jimmy T Murakami's BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS) to comedy (The 'Black Seal' episode of the first series of THE BLACK ADDER). To celebrate this fact, (and the fact it's their all-time No.1 bestselling title) the BFI are bringing out a remastered version of the film in High Definition on DVD, as well as a limited edition Blu-ray steelbook.
So much has been written about this film over the years that it would be redundant of me to add to what has already been said, but in case you've never heard of any of the above movies the basic plot is this: in the rural Japan of the late 1600s a poverty-stricken village is regularly beset by bandits who plunder the meagre harvest the villagers manage to till from the soil of the surrounding area.
In an attempt to prevent this from happening for the umpteenth time they recruit seven masterless samurai to defend them (the history of how samurai became wanderers in this period is all explained in more detail in the booklet you get with the film). Over the course of the film's 198 minute running time (yes, you'll need a cushion) we see how the samurai draw up a plan to defend the village and how the villagers themselves become involved in the ensuing battle.
It's a testament to the genius of Kurosawa's film that you come away from watching it feeling its imitators have only skimmed the surface of an immensely profound and ambitious piece of work. The final battle is a grim, mud-splattered and rain-soaked affair, and there's no sense of respite or resolution for the survivors at the end.
The BFI's remastering of SEVEN SAMURAI provides us with the opportunity to play the film with or without the original intermission (which occurs at about 1hour 42 minutes in). Oddly, this point isn't marked as a chapter break. The image is fine, and the subtitles are clear, readable, and well translated. Extras include the aforementioned very useful booklet, a 47 minutes featurette in which Asian cinema expert Tony Rayns discusses The Art of Akira Kurosawa, and there's a trailer as well. The Blu-ray wasn't available for review but the DVD looks really pretty good for a film from 1954.
The BFI are releasing Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI on DVD and Limited Edition Blu-ray Steelbook on 21st April 2014

I've lost my sweet tooth, mostly. It's the curse of being a diabetic--I mean, it's the curse if you don't think of retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, kidney failure, circulatory failure, or increased risk of stroke to be a curse, per se. But I rarely have dessert, and I love ice cream, so if I'm eating something sweet, it's probably a menage a trois with me, Ben and Jerry.
I do like an occasional fruit dessert, though. I like all kinds of fruit crisps and lemon squares, if they're good ones. This cake looks tasty, though; it's from an old Bon Apetit from my mother's collection that I absconded with. I can't remember what recipe in here I was originally interested in, but this sounds yummy, and seasonal. If you're a mother, you should find someone who wants to make this for you.
Lemon Buttermilk Cake with Strawberries
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
3 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 16-ounce package frozen sliced sweetened strawberries, thawed
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
5 tablespoons frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
2 1-pint baskets strawberries, hulled
FOR CAKE: Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter and flour three 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Beat sugar, butter and lemon peel in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients into butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake until tester inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer pans to racks and cool 15 minutes. Turn out cakes onto racks and cool completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly in plastic and store at room temperature.)
Boil sliced sweetened strawberries with juices in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup and begins to thicken, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
FOR FROSTING: Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Beat in lemonade concentrate and lemon peel.
Divide strawberry mixture between 2 cake layers and spread over tops, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Let stand until slightly set, about 5 minutes. Place 1 strawberry-topped layer on platter. Drop 3/4 cup frosting atop cake by spoonfuls; gently spread over top. Top with remaining strawberry-topped layer. Drop 3/4 cup frosting by spoonfuls atop cake; gently spread over top. Top with remaining cake layer. Using spatula, spread remaining frosting in decorative swirls over sides and top of cake. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and chill. Let cake stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing.)
Decoratively arrange strawberries, pointed side up, atop cake. Cut into wedges and serve.

I kept counting the days
for summer to arrive
guess I lost track of the time
what season was I
All I ever wanted was sunshine
and warm weather
where I can ride on a bike
and play with the waves.
Last summer I remember
I walked by the shore.
I drew a line on the sand.
Powdery white, almost like flour.
I made a boundary,
not the salt water can cross.
Then I sat quietly.
Hours passed.
Then there was the sunset,
It was magnificent.
Like an orange ball
Slowly sinking in the ocean.
I raised my fingers,
pretending to hold it.
I stood up, and run across the line I made
And into the water I swam.
Series of waves crashed
through my body. It felt warm
and everything was calm.
Before the night fall.
I headed back, then there I saw
the line I made
Guessed the salt water
washed it.
I walked home,
supposed my life was like that.
Whenever there is something good,
no matter how concrete the walls
I built to avoid risk, I always end up
on the other side.
Just to know that there is something good
Like summer
Is enough to break rules
to do the thing you love
to make you happy
to really really
make you happy
Like summer,
like sunset,
like wind,
like waves,
like sand,
like no other
than you.
Life is too short
and sometimes sad
But if you know
where to look for
simple pleasure
you will never be alone.
Like the sun,
never cease to warm the earth
never asked earth to give back
in return.
Give like the sun, never expect
and hope for the best.
Like the waves crashed to me,
but if I'd hate it
Then I'll never understand
the beauty of stillness
and peacefulness of the ocean
when it's clear at night.
Rather be thankful of it.
Give LOVE instead..
You'll know why...
It comes around once a year.
This is summer...

Hvorfor nu ikke det?
Jeg er sikker på, at mere fest bringer flere i kirke, så bare slå dig løs!
... wondering if this blog post is inspired by real events :)ReplyDelete
I actually want to see Chi doing the second scenarioReplyDelete
Hey Chi, long time no writing ^^
Thought I'd pop in to say I'm making progress in the Comic-making buisness (well, still suck at drawing, but some progress have been made, yay!)
Just thought I'd pop in to say that, and that I wanna see more drawings ^^
Hey Chidori. Been a while since I last popped in here, and I thought I'd say hi. Just to let you know, The Flaming Ruby is still going strong on the server, and they have probably already cleared all the new raidcontent (wouldn't be suprised =D). I even saw Brissa the other day and was like "OMG celebrity! 'screenshot'" =D. Anyhow. I just read through all your comic, and felt so nostalgic, I just had to come write something. I'm not sure if you still check out this blog or anything, but just to let you know, I'm one of your biggest fans, so I pop around occationally. Even put you up as a friend in WoW, even tho the likelyhood of you coming back is slim to none =P. Well, guess thats it. hope you have a good time, and I guess I'll write something again next time I get a nostalgica feel, hehe. Best regards, JohnReplyDelete

When I was back in Singapore, it's not the Chai Kweh Diao (stir fried noodle) or the chilli crab that I missed. Those are such "common" money making items that you practically can get anywhere in HK now.
Apart from the Malay food like Mee rebus, Roti John, Mee Soto and the Indian fried Goreng, I miss my Seafood Mui-Fan the most. Dont ask me why but since I was a little girl all the way till uni, I love eating Mui Fan. A simple wholesome and filling dish. It's also a nostalgic food because it brings back memories of when I was still in school when I had to pack food back most days.
This time round back in Singapore, a friend brought me to one of the Bukit Timah food store opposite Beauty World shopping mall.
I was skeptical about the quality, predominantly I was biased against the store for employing a full fledged cohort of non English speaking mainlanders without a local staff in sight.
However when the food came, I was plesantly surprised. I am picky about the stalls I order my Mui fan from. It has to have the right flavour, texture - the sauce with the egg mixed in, and most of all, the ingredients. Many times back then, I often have to argue with the new stalls because I refuse to accept their version of seafood mui-fan with one miserable tiny prawn, a few squid and plenty of pork slices and fishcake slices. I mean in which country is PORK considered seafood apart in probably Singapore alone.
So this time round, when my plate of rice in gravy came, topped with fair portion of prawns and squid, I was really happy! No nasty pork slice nor cheating fish cake! The rice was also cooked perfectly with the right firmness. Someplaces tend to overcook the rice and so when blend together, it becomes mushy. The prawns also were done right without being overcook, and best, no freezer taste from over storage. yeah, I am one of those freaks who tend to be able to taste "freezer" food if they are stored for too long. This is esp true for chicken! There is just this strange after taste for freezer food.
Anycase, its an expensive muifan at sg$6 but I think for the quality, I wont complain too much though I certainly missed the coffee shop version that use to be sg$3. Is it inflation or just this store I aint sure. However, at least I had a good meal, with my comfort food.

This is a very clever phrase. Plato explains folks form opinions based on their data. Individuals's knowledge immediately reflects the knowledge that was retained. Individuals are ignorant, because they don't know every part and they try to kind opinions. They are saying what they assume, not what they know. Plato is appropriate, opinion is between information and ignorance.
Taimar, thank you in your remark. Yes, he was a very cruel man. The tower of heads could have been after taking Baghdad, although I wouldn't be stunned if he did it after other invasions too. There at all times appears to be positives and negatives with these legendary rulers, but I believe Timur was a bit too monstrous for a balance to be struck.
And once you learn how to experience a bike, you never forget right? However sometimes we fall by the wayside and lose our way. To maintain reaching new heights you must carry on going. Change is inevitable and shouldn't be avoided, in any case it's going to occur anyway. So that you either ride the bike via your life you let life take you for a ride!
eBay although- it's in a class of it is own. You could find quite a lot of stuff on eBay. The stuff I've discovered and acquired have been things originally in different catalogs & other on-line websites, but often for half the value. Instance- my four Coach purses (which I purchased when I used to be working), and a few cashmere cardigan wraps (that match all my purses, lol). I've also found some uncommon, quirky stuff that's uncommon, like this cherry necklace seen right here, and a Bazooka Bubble Gum necklace. Principally stuff that's very like me, but that no one else has, but at all times desires.
I might promise the entire amount were I not afraid that sometime my present might be abused for someone's selfish purposes, as I see happen in lots of locations where lecturers' salaries are paid from public funds. There is just one remedy to satisfy this evil: if the appointment of academics is left totally to the dad and mom, and they're conscientious about making a wise alternative by their obligation to contribute to the associated fee.

The results of the latest study by Century 21, published Friday, February 19, are clear: the prices on the private rental market declined in 2015. Over the whole of France, rents network studios in 1.2% decline, those of 2 parts 0.7%, those of 3 parts of 0.3% and 4 pieces of 1.5% year on year. Only 5 rooms and more or houses, which weigh less than 10% of the rental market, with rents stand up. The figures are derived from data from the Century 21 network, with over 800 branches. Although they are less precise than those of Clamor, expected in early March, which are based on data from almost all stakeholders. Century 21 indicators are not provided relatively less reliable.
actual rents down in 10 years
This trend of moderation rents is nothing new. Over 10 years, the index market rents Clamor increased 10%, against an accumulated inflation of about 12% over the period, if one relies on the consumer price index. In other words, if we take into account inflation since 2006, actual rents are now lower than those before the subprime crisis. "It is essential to get out of the Parisian prism to measure the wisdom shown by the rental market in setting its prices. No supervision is required", asserts and Century 21.
"Rents tends to fall because there are more and more supply. in medium-sized cities such as Dijon, Grenoble, Orleans and Tours, rents for relocation may show declines of 5%, "says Jean-François Buet, President Fnaim. For the owner of the National Federation of real estate, this decline in rents is also linked to "an overall impoverishment of rental customers." When property prices to purchase can blaze through debt, those rents are mechanically constrained by wage developments. Mass unemployment and the sluggish economy for years prevented the owners to be too greedy. In 2015, revenues from incoming tenants and stand down at Century 21: -2.7% for tenants of studios and -16.2% for tenants of 2 rooms for example. Century 21 notes, however, that this is a return to normal, while the owners, concerned about the idea of the implementation of the Alur Act, had been particularly demanding on records in 2014 .
It is also Interestingly, the changing profile tenants. 30-40 years are fewer and fewer (-6.6% yoy), while the proportion of 50 and over is growing rapidly: + 7.7% year on year for 50-60 years + 16.9% for over 60 years. A real groundswell for several years for the latter, which now account for almost one in ten tenant.
An Airbnb effect?
in Paris, rents increased for studios, 3 parts and 4 parts but fell for the 2 rooms. How to explain it? Already, rent control applies only to the time of renewal of the lease (and not her tacit agreement) or the entrance of a new tenant. All rents are not yet affected by the measure, far from it. Then, Century 21 found that homeowners were below market prices have tended to apply the maximum allowed by law. This "catch up" and partly offsets the decline imposed elsewhere.
Finally, the real network notes that part of the increase is explained by the average space rented a little higher than in 2014. on the Paris market, where new housing construction is anecdotally, this means that part of the offer very small areas is less available than before. Century 21 advance a hypothesis: some goods are removed from the market to be sold or exploited in tourist rental Airbnb type. Moreover, the branch network has been a decline in investment in the rental of 4.8% year on year in the capital, while many buyers are shifting to the inner suburbs or in other major cities France.
"in central Paris, investors have disappeared. agencies that were up to 25% of their business with investors had to find a substitute for this clientele who fled," confirms Pascal Boulenger, cofounder of MeilleursAgents.com. "This is especially true for buyers of room service, which rented for € 40-45 / m² / month and had to drop to 30 euros, which brought the net yield to 2 / 2.5%. it's too low given the tenant risk, "he explains.
too low profitability
" the profitability of an apartment is on average 2% after tax . It's little, "also insists Jean-François Buet. "Yet we have a rental market that presents risks, which may be underestimated, and costs soar (energy, taxes, …)," he says. The rent control would it ultimately an incentive to rent his property on Airbnb, where prices are free and yet few controls?
Nothing is anyway to reassure the small owner who rents his apartment. For scarcely inducted Minister of Housing, Emmanuelle Cosse held last week to greet on France Inter "great Alur law" of his fellow party Cécile Duflot, Housing Minister between May 2012 and March 2014. The one that has just abandoned his post as general secretary of Europe Ecology – the Greens stressed in particular that the law was "extremely important" as' rent controls it relates Paris for now, many cities are now. "" implement and it will come out in a few months ", she had also assured. the commitment of the Greens to the measure, criticized by all industry professionals, has enough to leave circumspect investors.

In recent weeks, Western commentators have been effusive in their praise of the unfolding wonder that is the "democratisation" of Egypt. Some have suggested that the rest of the Arab world would do well to follow suit as quickly as they possibly can. Apparently, the Beatles were wrong. All you need is democracy.
If only that were true.
Our own great democracy has been performing at spectacularly underwhelming levels. In the last month, our great leaders have fought over who has the right to pay the least amount of money towards the nation's health care; they have fought over who should pay for the desperate task of rebuilding QLD after the floods/cyclone that destroyed the state; and most recently, our leaders tried desperately to start a fight over whether Australian taxpayers should foot the bill for Christmas Island asylum seekers to be able to attend the funerals of their drowned relatives. (They should just be grateful they weren't smashed against the rocks themselves, I guess.)
So much for this great-hearted sunburnt land of Vegemite smeared babies who grow up, embalmed in the salty waves of equality beach, to be the very personification of the most precious of all australian values, the fair go.
Democracy gives power to the people sure (inshallah), but the test of a good democracy depends just as much upon what the people are prepared to let their leaders get away with.
Enter Tony Abbott.
Footage has been found which shows Tony Abbott being briefed by the Commander of the Australian troops in Afghanistan (An American! I know! Need I mention the Breaker Morant and Suva Bay debacles?!). The Commander describes the fact that in an attack in which an Australian soldier died, the army did not receive sufficient air support. He commiserates that the air support failure could not be attributed to any specific reason. In response, Abbott is seen on camera saying that in war, "shit happens".
Fair enough really. I'm sure it does. Having just finished the censored account of an Australian digger's experience at Gallipolli (To Hell and Back, if you're interested), I couldn't agree with Abbott more. Shit does, and did, happen. Pretty much every day.
What didn't look great was that Abbott was seen to be flippant about an Australian soldier's death. All he needed to do was explain that he was not at all being flippant, and it would not even have made the papers. Instead, our opposition leader stood, staring down his inner rage, hoping the film in the journalist's camera would run out before his fuse did. Have a look for yourself:
What is disturbing about this footage is not that Abbott got caught out saying that "shit happens". What is disturbing is that when questioned about the matter, he was so incapable of controlling his own inner rage that he is barely able to restrain himself from coming to physical blows with the journalist.
We are a great democratic nation. And this is our great democracy. One leader is so desperately lacking in charisma that people write 500 word articles rejoicing the fact that her voice "faltered" when describing the deaths of Australian citizens in the QLD floods during a session of parliament. (She lives!) The other leader is an intellectual nobody, a brazen steel-balls oxford fighter who is on the record as not wanting us to believe everything he says, a man so incapable of controlling his feelings when reasonably challenged, that he is not able to think of one sane word to say in his own defence.
The choice is anaesthetising.
Allah and God be praised. Here lies the great democracy we never bothered to fight for.

Contagious Cold Sores
Cold Sores, Oral Herpes, Fever Blisters
Cold sores are normally not life threatening. Yes, they can be quite unpleasant for at least a couple weeks. Cold sores often bring on flu-like symptoms such as general malaise, swollen lymph glands under the jaw bone, and possibly a fever.
Cold sores are very painful for most people because the cold sores are formed on the end of the facial nerves. It's not unlike the dentist hitting a nerve. The herpes simplex virus has an affinity to nerve cells. When a person is infected with the cold sore virus, through a mucus membrane or break in the skin, the herpes simplex virus will seek out the nearest nerve and that nerve fiber becomes its home for the duration of your life.
The cold sore virus does not normally travel within the body, but will stay with the nerve that it originally attached to. That is why your cold sores will usually appear in the same general area every time. For example, if you get a cold sore on your upper right lip area, then any reoccurring cold sores from that herpes simplex virus infestation will always appear in the same area.
If you sometimes get a cold sore in this area, and then sometimes on the other side of the lip, it is quite likely that you spread the herpes simplex virus to the other place when you had the first cold sore. The cold sore virus, once attached to a nerve group will usually stay with it.

cold sores oral herpes fever blisters
It's not uncommon for a person to spread their cold sores all over their lips. The virus creating cold sores is extremely contagious. The fluid that drains from an open cold sore is absolutely teaming with newly cloned cold sore viruses looking for a new home.
It is so critical with cold sores that you be extremely careful not to touch this fluid and then touch another area on your face - or anywhere else on your body where the cold sore virus can enter through a crack in the skin or "soft tissue" like your eyes or genitals.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- A commercial fire turned into an apartment fire on Des Moines' east side on Monday evening.
Around 6:30 p.m., firefighters were called to a business on the 1600 block of East Grand Avenue. The fire started in the single-story building, but spread next door to another commercial building that had two floors of apartments. Captain Mark Dooley said around three dozen firefighters fought to extinguish the flames in what he calls a "very difficult" fire.
"With the head start that this fire has, with the burning in between floors, we have to be very conscientious of a building collapse. We have to make sure the building remains stable, with our attack efforts. We will be inside as long as it continues to be safe to put the fire out," he said.
Fire officials say everyone got out of the buildings safely and no injuries were reported.

US Embassy Official Graces ASRC Women's Month Event
The Public Affairs Officer of the United States Embassy graced the Women's Month Celebration of the American Studies Resource Center (ASRC) of the Robert B. and Metta J. Silliman Library on March 11.
Mrs. Robin Diallo interacted with eight members of the Bantayan Women's Association who were present for the training on bag weaving organized by the ASRC in partnership with the Center for Gender Studies and Development. She also tried weaving using the recycled materials available to the participants.
Her brief stay in Silliman was part of her itinerary in Negros Oriental where she also visited a US Embassy-supported project.
Facilitating the training was Mrs. Merlinda Limbaga, a livelihood instructor at the Department of Social Welfare and Development who is also connected with the non-government organization KALIPI (Kalipunan ng Liping Pilipino).

All beached out
This is the only way a portrait was going to be posted this (last!) week.
A grainy, stolen photograph from when his head first hit the pillow tonight.
Windswept, rosy-cheeked and still clothed from a trip to the beach with his Dad.
And sleeping, finally sleeping after a travel-to-the-city induced spell of being awake til crazy hours.
I know I keep saying it, but life has just been hectic.
Joining in with Jodi.
You can see the whole series of portraits here.

If you read as much as I do, it can be difficult to keep track of what you've already read. I've actually gotten three chapters in to a book before I realized that I'd already read it. Oops.
To help me keep track, and to keep a feel for what's coming and what's new, I use Goodreads. Think about it like a combination of Netflix and Facebook for books. With this website you are able to track books that you've read, books that you want to read, and to compare those books with your friends on the site. It's almost too easy to build up a ridiculously long to-be-read (TBR) list. Mine is 340 books long at the time I'm typing this. I'm almost embarassed by that, but then I remember that I have this blog, so in theory I'm going to be able to get to them. Honestly, I just want to read all of the books. All of them.
Once you manage to move a book off of your TBR list and actually read it, the website allows you to rate the books that you've read anywhere from 1-5 stars. The ratings are then used to create recommendations based on what you liked. Recommendations are also made based on the things you want to read. Because I need another way to get suggestions for more books to read. If I can get my read list to be longer than my TBR list I will count that as a huge accomplishment for 2013. Huge.
There are multiple groups to join, if you're interested in that sort of thing. You can add people as friends and see what they're reading. You can also compare the ratings you've given various books to what your friends thought of them.
If you're interested I highly recommend checking out the site.
You can see more about the books I've read here.

Thanks Simon. I'm spent.
5 hrs at the National Railway Museum with a deaf 84 year old curmudgeonly incontinent old boy in a wheelchair. I keep tellin meself, we'll all be like that 1 day. Roll on!
Right. Time for some peace up the shed with a beer and some football.

I've been like that since I was a kid. No wheelchair, although going to work in the morning might be more interesting.
Deaf, curmudgeonly. Tick. Incontinent. Only on Thursdays!

What happens on Wednesday to cause that then, buddy??? do tell.
Lovely tracks; however, I feel you missed a couple of tricks by not including 'Summer Breeze' and 'Harvest For The World'...but maybe that's just wanting to have my cake and eat it.

I limited myself to the tracks with pt 1 & 2, of which the Isleys did a lot of.
Those others may show themselves some other time......
We don't talk about Wednesdays!

Great choices - have you checked out The Isley's 'Get Into Something' great funky drum break in the middle which makes it perfect for mixing into something else (I usually go for Ananda Shankar 'Jumping Jack Flash)

Don't recognise the title; doesn't mean I don't have it though. I don't always remember titles, especially these days when I'm not sitting there devouring album sleeves with my eyes like I used to.
They're great, the Isleys. They don't seem to get quite the...praise as some people do. Although overall they're probably one of the most successful, if not THE most successful of all the soul acts ever.
Not keen on paying taxes though....

guess what? I've got that track!! You're right, the break section is great!!!!!
