The Top 10 Action Films on Netflix
Can't Enough Netflix? Click Here for a Chance to Win an Entire Year Free!
Netflix has revolutionized how millions of people watch television and movies, and those who have a subscription know how deep its library is. However, the sheer number of offerings on Netflix can make it a bit intimidating. For fans of the action genre, here are ten must-see films.
1. "The Hunger Games"
"The Hunger Games" trilogy sold well in book form, and the movie version of the first book is available on Netflix Instant. Starring Jennifer Lawrence, the film has been lauded for staying true to the book and for developing a unique, stylized look. Action fans will love the intense battles and stunning imagery.
2. "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl"
When the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" film came out, few expected such a successful franchise could be created from a ride at Disneyland and Disney World. Thanks in large part to Johnny Depp's masterful portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, the franchise has something to offer action fans of all ages. Many regard the final film in the franchise, which is available on Netflix, as the series' peak.
3. "The Hunt for Red October"
Based on a critically acclaimed novel by James Clancy, 1990's "The Hunt for Red October" captures the harrowing nature of submarine warfare. Starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, the film successfully translates Clancy's most famous work to the big screen, and the quiet, isolated nature of the film's submarine scenes presents fear in a way most action films cannot replicate.
4. "The Boondock Saints"
While its sequel didn't fare well, "The Boondock Saints" remains one of the most successful independent action films ever released. Starring Willem Dafoe and featuring some of the most gritty scenes in the action drama, it is broader in scope and stylistically stronger than most action films. "The Boondock Saints" is a thrilling adventure that all fans of action films are sure to enjoy.
5. "Hellboy"
Based on the comic book series of the same name, "Hellboy" presents one of the most colorful group of characters in the action genre. Lauded by fans of the relatively unknown comic book series, the movie successfully shows that the titular character is far deeper than his name might suggest. With strong acting, clever writing, and music composed by Danny Elfman, "Hellboy" is a refreshing take on the comic book genre, which sometimes seems to take itself a bit too seriously.
6. "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"
The sequel to "Terminator" is widely hailed as one of the best action films of all time. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by James Cameron, the film has been widely hailed as a game changer for the action genre thanks to its still-impressive special effects. The film is more than just a visual treat, however, and Skynet remains one of the most frightening villains ever presented on the big screen.
7. "Top Gun"
Aerial combat presents some of the fastest and most thrilling material for action films, but the process of bringing it to life in a realistic manner has caused many producers to look for other source material. "Top Gun" is one of the most ambitious efforts to bring dogfighting to the big screen, and it remains the most successful by a wide margin. Beyond its unrivaled visuals, "Top Gun" also presents some truly memorable characters, and its love stories and rivalries add depth to its action roots.
8. "Oldboy"
"Oldboy," a South Korean film based on a Japanese graphic novel, is hailed by many as the ultimate revenge film. While the film is largely a psychological thriller, it is mostly known for its stylized action scenes, best exemplified by a one-shot fight scene involving a hammer, a hallway, and a large number of enemies.
9. "The Avengers"
One of the most successful films of all time, "The Avengers" has been widely hailed as a shot in the arm to the lucrative but occasionally bland comic book action genre. Bringing together perhaps the most impressive collection of superheroes ever seen on the big screen, "The Avengers" captures the comic book look and feel better than any other film. Joss Whedon also deserves a considerable amount of credit; his sharp dialogue and clever writing give the film a lightness that makes the action scenes smarter and more exciting.
10. "Battle Royale"
Some have claimed that "The Hunger Games" is merely a copy of Japan's "Battle Royale," but those who have seen both films know that this claim is faulty. While the premises are similar, "Battle Royale" presents an ultra-violent, hyper-realistic portrayal of humans forced into an impossible scenario, and its fight scenes make the film a must-watch for fans of bloody action.

Do My Little Twirl
I was feeling a little stale on this day. My hair was frizzy. It was cold. I didn't really want to dress up at all. Maybe it's just the winter blues. So I threw this wig on, because I wanted to remember that I am the girl who loves to twirl around. I am the girl who loves to dance. I am the girl who loves to feel free, and do things like wear Korean fashion wigs to coffee on a Saturday afternoon.
I think it did the trick for that day.

I love the wig! there is something about them, isn't there? sometimes if i am in the same mood and don't feel like going all the way out for a wig, ill just throw on a pair of fake glasses. You can kind of be your alter ego when doing this, i love it.ReplyDelete
anyways, the fun shines through girl, you look exceptionally happy and cute on this day!
(and love the reed shoes/ black tights combo!) -andrea
Wigs, what a fun idea! I think this look turned out cute & gloomy. Love the shoes especially!ReplyDelete

Vine, the video sharing site owned by Twitter, has made a move to rid its system of adult content.
The party is over for those that created or enjoyed adult content in six second bites. Effective immediately Vine has updated its Terms of Service (ToS) to state that adult content is no longer allowed on the site. While there is no automatic filter for this type of content, users are encouraged to report any adult content that they find and it will then be removed.
"For more than 99 percent of our users, this doesn't really change anything," the company stated in a blog post announcing the policy change. "For the rest: we don't have a problem with explicit sexual content on the Internet –– we just prefer not to be the source of it."
Should you be curious as to what is and isn't allowed, you can check out a help article created by Vine to give you some guidelines. Most of it is common sense, but it never hurts to be up to speed on new rules so you don't accidentally run afoul of them.
The new ToS is already in place, so be careful out there folks.

Tommaso Campanella is one of the most influential figures in late Renaissance and early modern philosophy. His works embody the peak of Renaissance thought, with all its tensions and multifarious interest in fields of knowledge ranging from theology, metaphysics, medicine and politics to prophecy, astrology and magic. At the same time, several of his innovative ideas and approaches regarding scientific inquiry, theological positions, epistemology and political theory place him among the earliest exponents of modern philosophy. With the exception of his famous utopia, La Città del Sole (The City of the Sun), most of his works remained shrouded in oblivion for centuries after his death. A fuller appreciation of his …

Oil prices extend losses in Asia
Traders were cautious ahead of the release later Wednesday of data on US commercial crude stockpiles which have been rising for weeks, indicating softer demand in the world's top energy consumer.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for delivery in April was down 67 cents, or 2.10 percent, at $31.20 and Brent crude for April fell 44 cents, or 1.32 percent, to $32.83 a barrel.
WTI tumbled 4.6 percent and Brent tanked 4.1 percent on Tuesday.
"We think that it's inevitable that oil prices move back below the $30 market soon as supply continues to outstrip demand and inventory levels are very high," Jason Wong, a currency strategist in Wellington at Bank of New Zealand said in an e-mail to clients, according to Bloomberg.
Saudi Arabia and Russia — the world's top oil producing nations — had proposed to freeze output if other producers followed suit, briefly perking up prices which fell to near 13-year lows on February 11.
But Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh described the proposal as a "very funny joke", as production levels vary widely among oil producers.
There was currently a "litany of oil-negative comments", said Bernard Aw, market strategist at IG Markets in Singapore
"Saudi oil minister said the country will not reduce output, while Iran said the Saudi-Russia pact is 'ridiculous' amid plans to raise Iranian oil output".
He added: "These developments reinforced my view that there is unlikely to be any concrete plans to ease the supply glut in the near term. Any solutions may be demand-led when the global economy picks up pace."
While trimming production may be out of the picture for now, Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi said he remained hopeful other producers would join a tentative freeze to January output levels it had agreed with Russia, Qatar and Venezuela last week.
He said freezing output was more realistic than cutting because "not many countries are going to deliver, even if they say they will cut production".

A Massachusetts judge has allowed a $5 million lien to be placed on all properties owned by former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, after it was requested by the families of two men he is accused of killing, according to The Boston Globe's John R. Ellement.
The ruling allows the families to keep possession of Hernandez's home in the Boston suburbs until they are paid any money they might win in a wrongful death suit filed against the fourth-round pick.
Hernandez is accused of shooting Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado after they had an altercation inside a night club in Boston's South End in the summer of 2012. He has also been charged with the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.

Another judge recently approved Hernandez to be moved to a new jail that would allow him to be closer to his lawyers' offices in Boston.
The trial for the charges stemming from Lloyd's death is set to begin October 6.

I am the Condom Girl -- the one flagged as a suspected sex worker at the U.S. border and subjected to a series of escalating bizarre treatments and attitudes. I had no idea when I wrote my personal account for rabble.ca that my story would result in radio interviews, headlining Metro, more re-tweets than I care to count, and, of course, hate mail. It's been one of the craziest weeks of my life, and certainly the most public.
There's no doubt in my mind that one reason my story gained the attention it did was that it screamed "sexy" at every juncture. Between adultery, lingerie, condoms, nude modelling, prostitution and a picture of me (young, white, female) which I now realize features my shirt practically falling off, there's no way the media could resist. But another reason I have to suggest is that I was positioned as, and am, so darned privileged that this "shouldn't" have happened to me.
I wasn't featured nationally in Metro as "Uneducated girl is accused of sex work" but rather as "UBC student." I didn't join CBC's Daybreak show as "Sex worker/adulteress treated as second class citizen" but rather, "Woman files complaint after border crossing nightmare." So long as I was positioned as privileged, and, sometimes by proxy, innocent, my story had shock value. Because when bad things start happening to innocent, educated white people, they could happen to anyone -- or rather, other privileged people. And that is very, very scary.
Discussion of my story has centred around U.S. border control -- as if slut-shaming, whorephobia and rape-supportive beliefs could exist in a vacuum or an isolated social site. True, steps taken at the border were vaguely disguised as measures to prevent human trafficking (although it was never actually brought up; one Aruban Immigration officer did lackadaisically mention that I should tell her if I was a slave), or as necessary to protect the security of the United States or women in general. But the people I met at the border were not necessarily bad people, but rather, (dare I say it) were acting in the context of a slut-shaming, whorephobic and rape-supportive society.
We can't disown their actions as having nothing to do with the status quo that we live in everyday simply because they were border guards or American. Canadian guards have given American friends of mine remarkably similar trouble. And since when has Canadian policy or society opened its arms to warmly embrace sex workers as citizens, as workers, as complex individuals with complex relationships with their work?
Let's not take this opportunity to start patting ourselves on the back that at least we're not that bad -- just because our country could always be worse is hardly cause for celebration. Violence and indifference towards sex workers, especially at the hands of our police, is common place in Canada. And right here in Montreal innocent people are being arrested for exercising their right to protest.
I've stopped answering the point-blank question of whether or not I am, was, or ever will be a sex worker. I like to entertain the half-mad fantasy that no matter whom one has consensual sex with or why, one is irrevocably a human deserving respect and rights. The point is: when sex and sexuality are criminalized, people are made illegal and their rights made moot.
When abusive treatment happens to "actual" sex workers, immigrants, non-whites or people who are otherwise not awarded the kind of power and voice that I was and am, there is, I believe, a generalized apathy.
If I were a sex worker, I might have "deserved" the treatment I received, or my detainment might have "made sense." If I were from a minority group or were not as educated in the English language, my story might not have provoked the shock and outrage that it did. And rather than receiving the reaction "That should never happen to anyone," often the reaction I still get is "That should never have happened to you."
It's time to broaden the discussion.

Ella invents a sibling
There is a serious problem for kittens who are born without siblings. They don't have anyone with which to learn what is appropriate play. They tend to be overly aggressive and lack boundaries Ella has two strikes against her because her mom is overly aggressive and lacks boundaries as well, so it these types of behaviors seem more appropriate to her.
So we are reintroducing the hand monster which is not afraid to do things to her she doesn't much like (but that doesn't hurt) so she can learn that when she cries out "no" that play stops. Foot monster, however, is her favorite adversary. It moves slowly across the floor, it is kitten sized and it rears up for combat.. It is her new favorite playmate, much in a way a sibling would be..
and fortunately it does occasionally win the wrestling match - which helps her learn humility.. or at least how to lose gracefully.. or at least how to lose... OK fine, she runs away when she doesn't get her way.. which frankly is not a bad thing.. because she very well could turn more aggressive and work at trying to hurt me into submission.. (little does she know she can do that by being so darn cute)
19 comments:
She is very, very cute! She looks a lot like Mitty when he was her age.
I didn't know that about kittens growing up without siblings. That tells you how long it's been since we really had a kitten around (almost 20 years) and then Mitty.
Have a good weekend!
LOL. She's just a doll, but I probably write that all the time. Will she then think it's okay to play aggressively with feet when she gets older? Just curious. I can imagine not everyone would want that. LOL.ReplyDeleteReplies
She might but I don't actually let her get overly agressive. The second she starts playing too hard the foot monster gets a +littl5e ag45ressive and starts to win..Delete
Most of my foot players stop playing with feet when they are no logner the same size..
(comment assisted by Clyde as I am currently kitten sitting for a friend)
seriously - I think she is getting cuter. :) It is so hard with singles but she is in good hands!! (or feet)ReplyDelete
I want her and mummy*sigh*but I can't to far away!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness. Your first three sentences decribes Tutu exactly. Sibling-less and mother-less. I did try to get her to "learn" cat manners from the other cats but they weren't very good teachers...ReplyDelete
Foot Monster must DIE!!!ReplyDelete
Foot monster does it for me!!!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, she is SO CUTE!ReplyDelete
Oh my! I wonder if she has any relationship with my little sis Kitshka...ReplyDelete
Hmmm. I just adopted a kitten and I could use some advice about socializing him with my older cat. Even though he had siblings at the shelter, all he seems to want to do is attack Skootch. I'm trying to give them both "alone" times - that's the only way Skootch will eat (sigh). The kitten is a great cuddler with us humans, but not with his older "brother".ReplyDelete

Force Series™ GS Solid-State Drives: Speed for the real world.Force Series™ GS solid-state drives are powered by a SandForce SF-2200 SSD Processor and fast Toggle NAND memory for both fast sequential read/write speeds and strong random write speed for impressive real-world performance.
sku: CSSD-F240GBGS-BK
Force Series™ GS Solid-State Drives: Speed for the real world.Force Series™ GS solid-state drives are powered by a SandForce SF-2200 SSD Processor and fast Toggle NAND memory for both fast sequential read/write speeds and strong random write speed for impressive real-world performance.
Force Series GS solid-state drives are powered by a SandForce SF-2200 SSD Processor and fast Toggle NAND memory for both fast sequential read/write speeds and strong random write speed for impressive real-world performance.
Many SSDs achieve quick load times with files that can be compressed and decompressed at the read/write stage, but slow down significantly reading data that's already compressed. Neutron goes one better by offering impressive performance even with compressed and non-compressible data.
Force Series GS supports SATA 3 6Gb/s, so you'll get superior performance from newer notebook and desktop PCs that use the newest standard. It's also fully backward compatible with SATA 2.
The first key to real performance is sequential read and write speeds. You'll feel the speed when you're loading and saving large files. Solid-state drives store files in contiguous blocks of memory, so you'll get nearly instantaneous response when you click that "Load" or "Save" button.
Fast random write speeds are also critical to performance you'll notice on a daily basis. If you're running multiple applications at once, odds are that they're writing small bits of data to the drive with regularity. The fast Toggle NAND memory gives Force Series GS the agility to handle them all without slowing down.
Cool and quiet, with low power consumption
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC. It can also save battery life on notebooks.
Maintains its performance over time
Force Series GS solid-state drives support the Windows 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Solid-State reliability
Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks.
"Corsair definitely did it right, perhaps a future firmware can further optimize the sequential write performance a little -- then it could make this the #1 SSD to get. Corsair will cover this product with a three year warranty. Let me wrap it up, I have every confidence in the stability and extreme performance of the SF2281 Force GS based products, and as such I wouldn't hesitate using an SSD like shown today. The Force GS series as such come really recommended for the real storage performance mongers amongst you."
"Corsair's Force GS 240 GB is a great and well-performing solid state drive. It is built on the popular SandForce SF-2281 controller, paired with fast Toggle Mode flash chips, which are a first for Corsair. Corsair has promised improved performance, especially faster write speeds, but our real-world benchmarks showed very little difference. The drive performs at the same level as the OCZ Vertex 3 and Kingston HyperX, which both use a SandForce controller with Intel flash. Nevertheless, overall performance is outstanding and leads our performance charts; only Corsair's Marvell-based Performance Pro is 3% faster."
"Overall, Force GS a very good unit, and one of the fastest SandForce models on the market."
"The Force GS Series is without doubt one of the best SandForce driven SSDs out there. It pushes the boundaries for performance, is very sturdy, comes with 3 years peace of mind warranty and looks quite funky too. Due to all of these aspects the Force GS Series deserves nothing less than our Gold award for excellence."
"Bottom line: Similar solutions have been available for some time, but that takes nothing away from the fact that Corsair's Force Series GS is one of the best-performing SandForce drives on the market."
Much has been written about overprovisioning and its implementation on SSDs. In short, overprovisioning, or OP, is a portion of storage space on an SSD that is reserved for use only by the SSD controller. The three most common uses for this space are wear leveling, the replacement of bad blocks, and read-modify-writes. Overprovisioning serves to help increase both the longevity and performance of SSDs and it is a very common practice among SSD manufacturers.
However, some users would like to be able to buy their SSDs without the built in overprovisioning and make the decision to OP, or not to OP for themselves. They prefer the flexibility of deciding for themselves when to OP and how much space to use based on their specific needs. Corsair has announced and is now offering SSDs without this overprovisioned space.
Corsair SSDs with overprovisioning space typically have used 7% of the total SSD storage capacity. This means that users now have a choice with these new drives to use them with or without overprovisioning. Users can manually overprovision the drives if they wish or, they can leave them at their full capacity with no overprovisioning and enjoy the extra space.
For users of 256GB SSDs, this means they can have an extra 16GB of storage capacity on their drive over the equivalent 240GB overprovisioned SSD. Of course, RAID users will benefit even more as the number of drives is increased.
In reading some of that aforementioned information about overprovisioning, I've found a great deal of very useful information over at Anandtech. Here's a diagram from one of Anand's SSD articles highlighting how overprovisioning works.
Our initial offerings in the non-OP drive arena are in the Force Series GS and the Neutron Series with more to come. For more information on our SSD lineup, please visit our Corsair website SSD page.
To OP, or not to OP. That is the question. Whether tis nobler to the PC performance...
Corsair proudly brings you the Corsair SSD Toolbox. This helpful utility provides users with several powerful and useful tools for use with Corsair SSDs. Let's take a look. Download the Corsair SSD Toolbox HERE.
The Corsair SSD Toolbox will run on:
We have provided a detailed help file which can be accessed by clicking on the question mark symbol shown here circled in red on the upper left side of the screen.
After you select firmware update the tool will scan your drive and check for firmware updates. If there is an update available, the dialogue will prompt you to update the firmware or cancel the operation.
Note: Firmware updates can only be executed when the SSD controller is in AHCI mode. Firmware updating via this toolbox is enabled for The Corsair Series Force 3, Force Series GT, Force Series GS, Neutron Series, and Neutron Series GTX SSDs. Earlier and EOL Corsair drives with firmware updates can be updated manually using the tools supplied on our website.
Note: Corsair recommends that users update their OS drive as attached storage when possible. Some systems will require the SSD to be disconnected briefly before the new firmware version will appear in the Drive Information window.
Additional functions can be activated with the column of buttons down the left side of the toolbox. Corsair is now producing SSDs that do not have factory overprovisioning. For users that desire to manually overprovision their drives, we have provided a function for this. Overprovisioning your drive can contribute to maintaining better performance and adding longevity to your SSD.

"Treme" should at least win an Emmy Award for authenticity.
"Treme" should at least win an Emmy Award for authenticity.
"It's dead on," said "Big Sam" Williams, riffing on the HBO television series that's set in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. "It's great. I love it. Definitely. It's all true. That's what we love so much about it.
"A lot of people don't know what New Orleans is all about. 'Treme' does a good job of bringing it closer, which is something we can't really do by ourselves."
Williams and Big Sam's Funky Nation definitely do help, though, with their high-spirited "Noladelica" musical gumbo. It works both ways. The visibility of "Treme" has helped widen the group's audience.
"It's grown tremendously since the show started (in 2010)," said Williams, a former Dirty Dozen Brass Band member who's played his slide trombone in three "Treme" episodes. "For myself and a bunch of others."
Big Sam's Funky Nation brings New Orleans' rich sound - funk, jazz, rock, second-line rhythms - to Stockton on Wednesday. Ship of Foolz, a Stockton band with a similar inclination fusion, opens the Empire Theatre show.
Williams, a former basketball player who's not as "big" (6-foot-3, 225 pounds) as he once was, has had minor roles in "Treme." However, he's often mistaken for Wendell Pierce, who portrays Antoine Batiste, a burly trombone player, in the series.
"They think I'm Antoine," Williams, 29, said during a recent tour stop in Rochester, N.Y. "That's because I'm over 200 over pounds (down from 250). He just looks like me. As a kid, I was always big. Now I'm a not-so-big man. I still have my big sound when I play my horn, though."
Williams, who's led his Funky Nation Band full-time since 2007, has kept that sound - almost since the day he was introduced to the trombone at 13.
Born Sammie Williams, he was too tall to play basketball in middle school. So, he joined the Ragin' Cajuns, an amateur team.
In eighth grade, music teacher Darrell Dickerson suggested Williams expand his repertoire: " 'Trombone?' I said. 'What's that?' " No problem. "I picked it up almost instantly. In, like, a week."
His progress never slowed in John F. Kennedy High School's marching band: "Man, how can I be better? What else can I do?"
In 10th grade, he and friend Andrew Baham - who plays trumpet and keyboards and sings in Big Sam's Funky Nation - formed the Lil Stooges jazz band.
When he was 15, Williams' mom played him "Ears to the Wall," a 1998 album by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, New Orleans musical ambassadors since 1977.
"My mom figured it out," he said. "It was the first funk album I heard. 'Man, I want to be this band or like this band or play with this band in a few years.' "
Still not a problem. He was attending a friend's "sweet 16" birthday party - she played him records by Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Dizzie Gillespie - when he discovered that her father, Efrem Towns, played trumpet with "the Dozen."
The 16-year-old Williams spent his party time chatting up Towns: "I said, 'I love you guys. If you ever need a trombone player, call me. Don't think twice.' "
Three years later, Williams was playing summer shows at Jazzland: "I get a call out of the blue. He (Downs) said, 'Hey, you ready to go on the road?' I asked, 'When are you leaving?' 'Tomorrow,' he said. 'For three months.' I said, 'Let me call my mom first.' She said 'OK.' "
Williams was ready. He already knew the Dozen's stuff and had mastered the New Orleans' basics. He joined the band at Colorado's Keystone Ski Resort. He was 19.
"There were, like, 20,000 people outside," he said. "I thought, 'This is crazy.' I didn't know music could bring that many people together for one band."
Williams toured with the Dirty Dozen for four years - he retains an open invitation - doubling up with Funky Nation in 2004. That's also when Allen Toussaint, a revered New Orleans patriarch ("Oh, my gosh, this is crazy"), called. Williams still plays in Toussaint's horn section.
In 2007, Williams left the Dozen to concentrate on the Nation: "We'd just gotten established in New Orleans. Then Katrina hit and I'm going, 'Oh man, this sucks.' "
Most of his family's homes were destroyed. Williams' wasn't. Still, he lived for two years in San Antonio, Texas, returning to New Orleans each weekend.
He said "Treme" ("trem-ay") - a district where musicians live - faithfully portrays the shock and slow recovery in terms of human suffering and corruption: political, police, personal and cultural.
Some people thought Williams was being disloyal when he calculated it would take 10 years to recover. Some neighborhoods remain ghost towns.
Based on second-line rhythms and bass drum-cymbal percussion, the music remains indestructible.
"Everything has evolved," Williams said. "First it was a more jazz-funk, New Orleans-style of music. Then it was more funky. Horn funk. Now it's like rock, funk and soul with a New Orleans twist. We call it Noladelica. High energy. Lots of dancing, horns, singing. It's something that makes bodies start moving a little. People don't come to hear a story. We start making their hips wiggle a little bit."
Williams, who's married to Shanekah Peterson - owner of The Funky Butt, a New Orleans club - said his "tight connection" and "chemistry" with Baham mean, "We don't have to say what the other's thinking."
They're working on a fifth album, though a "bonus" live recording - Tipitina's, the Blue Nile and Maple Leaf Bar are their favorite spots - might intercede.
Oddly, "Treme" didn't receive one of HBO's unprecedented 104 Emmy nominations this year.
No matter. It nails the essence of a New Orleans culture based on "food and great music," Williams said. "That's what gives the show the real deal. It's what it was and what it still is."

Most people who are preparing for a future economic collapse or SHTF event realize that life as it is today could be radically altered. One of the main things that will change radically if the world experiences another severe economic collapse due to an EMP event or another extended grid-down situation will be diet and cooking methods.
Many preppers are looking to the tried and true recipes of the Great Depression period which began in August 1929 and lingered through approximately 1941 in the United States and Europe. It was the worst recession of the Western industrialized world. It truly altered the way of life for many families. Vegetable gardens were nurtured, clothing was patched and repaired for longer wear, and several generations of families often lived together out of necessity.
Feeding a family following another severe economic collapse, extended grid-down situation, or other SHTF event will be similar to feeding a family during the Great Depression. Some of the lessons surrounding food that were learned back then include:
- Growing your own food
- Sharing and bartering food with neighbors
- Making the best you can from what you do have
- Being thrifty, re-using, and recycling as much as possible
- Foraging, hunting, and preserving food will once again become central to meal planning
Shopping in the Depression Era
Shopping in the Depression Era was much different than it is today, especially for lower income and middle class families. Following an EMP or other SHTF event, shipping, trucking, and commercial food manufacturing will again be at a standstill. We may once again have to shop like our ancestors did during the Depression Era.
Preppers will need to buy now and properly store large quantities of things such as beans, rice, flour, sugar, cornmeal, potatoes, and sea salt. Growing your own herbs for seasoning and vegetables to eat will be crucial. Eggs will soon be at a premium, or only available through bartering, if at all. The same will be true for raw milk, cream, butter as well as bacon or pork, and beef. You will need to raise your own chickens, dairy cow, pigs, and beef cows or trade something valuable that you have plenty of to get what you want from someone who does have it.
For those who raise or grow their own food, it will be important to learn how to build a root cellar to extend the life of your harvest for leaner times that may come. Without electricity, storing of dairy and other perishable items will need to be done in something like a zeer pot "fridge" in hot weather.
Bread & Breakfasts
Breakfasts during the Great Depression Era varied widely according to socio-economic status of the household and what was available at the time. It usually included some kind of dried or baked fruit if fruit was plentiful for the family, a creamy grits cereal or farina cereal, some type of bread and tea or coffee. Milk and eggs were expensive so unless the family raised their own cow or chickens, many meals didn't include them during the Great Depression.

Today we are lucky enough to have some modern conveniences available to us that make securing food and cooking meals much easier than they were in the Depression Era. Most preppers have come to the realization however that following an EMP or SHTF event that would create an extended grid down situation, we may very well have to revert to some of the methods used by our ancestors to feed their families.
If you have already started storing bulk dry goods, growing your own vegetables, and raising your own livestock when such an event occurs, you will be miles ahead of many people. Tuck these recipes away or even try some of them this week so that you can be confident in your ability to cook in a way that will sustain your family and boost morale during tough times.

Alkaline Water – what is that?
The scale of pH, or potential hydrogen, ranges from zero to fourteen, so 7 is the neutral middle. Therefore, if the substance's pH is less than 7, it is acid. On the other hand, if the pH is higher than 7, the substance is alkaline.
Your Tap water is generally a mixture of chlorine, anti-biotics, hormones and other metals that will go straight into your system. Impure water can cause a weakened immune system and an array of other illnesses that occur when the immune system is vulnerable.
Many time our bodies become too acidic, we feel low energy, fatigue, digestive issues, weight gain and other side effects that are completely avoidable just by drinking pure water and eating fresh organic vegetables with a healthy acid/alkaline balance.
Alkalinity importance to our body
In 1931, Nobel Prize winner – Dr. Otto Warburg discovered that about 95% of all cancers thrive under an acidic environment. Dr. Warburg showed that cancer could not excel in an alkaline environment in which the pH level is 7.36 or above.
He claimed almost a century ago that acidosis (excess acidity) is not only connected to development of cancer, it could also cause other diseases like osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease and almost all other chronic diseases which we suffer from nowadays.
Alkaline recipe – Lemon and Water Recipe
This recipe will only take 5 minutes of your time and will help detoxify and regulate the pH level of your body in no time at all.
– 1 lemon
– 1/2 cucumber
– 1/4 ginger root
– 1/2 cup mint leaves
Method of preparation:
– Peel the ginger, and cut all the ingredients into slices. Then, add them to water.
– For best results, use the same ingredients for three days, and just keep adding new water.
– In order to obtain optimal effects, you should consume this water immediately after you wake up.
How It Works?
Lemon is well known for its pH balancing properties. Although it has quite an acidic taste, it is inherently alkaline and helps the body maintain its balance. It is a powerful disinfectant and antibacterial compound, aiding in the treatment many conditions from bad breath to cholera, and has anti-cancer properties.

February has been a bit better than January, at least i'm up for the year now. I seem to have slipped into winning and losing on alternate days which is very frustrating, as its hard to get a run going. Every time i win $100k i seem to lose it the next day, i'm sure the run good will return sometime soon.
Some of the hands that tilted me lately....
Must be nice to run like Cole South
Well played Durrrr
I'm off skiing next week, then Berlin for the EPT.... after that San Remo and Monte Carlo, and even the WSOP in Vegas doesn't seem that far away.

Wireless internet via lampu Led
Wi-Fi, from a futuristic technology, swiftly became widely spread all over the globe as a fast and comfortable wireless internet technology. Almost all smartphones and laptops nowadays have Wi-Fi built-in; it gives them possibility to connect to the Internet wirelessly in one of the many existing Hot Spots – places where the Wi-Fi Access Points are placed. However, requirements in access points limit the spreading of Wi-Fi, mainly because they must be purchased, manually placed and configured. Scientists from Boston University worked on this problem and found a solution – to unite LED light bulbs with wireless internet access points!
Wi-Fi, as many other wireless communication services, depends on radio-frequency signals. Researchers from Boston believe that this is old-fashioned now, and offer another signal bearer – light! LED in lamps will be multifunctional – it will serve as a source of light and as an access point for wireless Internet – both functions will be done simultaneously. This opens a wide range of possibilities to be connected to Internet everywhere you go – every lamp will provide your PDA or smartphone with Internet connection. This project is revolutionary mainly because there it can work on the existing power lines with no need for investments in an expensive infrastructure. Just imagine that all devices in your office will no longer need cords and wires – all data will be managed via illumination lamps! With speed up to 10 Mbps, it is a real alternative to Wi-Fi – all you need to have is a source of energy and a special lamp, that's all.
This is not a first try of using light as data carrier. It is used in optic cables for awhile, so advantages of light are widely known. However, combining it with illumination lamps has its disadvantages too. First – it needs in direct visibility between LED and sensor. Second – the flickering of light may be harmful to our eyes. Scientists believe that these problems can be fixed and are working on the solutions. US National Science Foundation already granted them 18.5 million dollars, so this project was considered very promising. If it will be finished, it can bring wireless connectivity to a whole new level.

|For Immediate Release
May 14, 2012
John Corcoran
Turnpikes Bureau
(603) 485-3806
Public Information Office
(603) 271-6495
|Roadside "Service Patrols" Returning on Interstate 95
Running from the Mass. State Line to Exit 7 in Portsmouth
Motorists stranded with minor vehicle problems on Interstate 95 from Portsmouth to Seabrook will soon find help. Beginning Friday, May 18, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) is once again introducing "service patrols" for the summer on I-95, from the Massachusetts state line to Exit 7 during early morning and afternoon commuting hours. The goal is to reduce the potential for significant traffic tie-ups by clearing minor incidents, such as flat tires, charging a battery, or vehicle overheating, as quickly as possible.
The service patrol's three-month pilot project last year during the I-95 peak summer traffic season was a success. The NHDOT's Bureau of Turnpikes is continuing the service this summer. A new truck for improved motorist assistance will have a built-in air compressor, jumper cables, push bar, and various storage boxes to hold tools and accessories such as gas cans. Turnpike personnel will make continuous loops between Exit 60 in Salisbury, Massachusetts and Exit 7 in Portsmouth, stopping for all incidents or stopped vehicles encountered. The service patrols will operate during early morning (5:30 am to 8:00 am) and late afternoon (3:30 pm to 7:00 pm) hours Monday through Friday. Friday afternoon's shift will run from 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm, followed by 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturdays, and 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on Sundays. Extra coverage may be added on holidays and for special events.
Minor incidents like flat tires and running out of fuel on a congested highway have the potential to cause secondary incidents, which are typically more serious in nature. Service patrols can help reduce the potentially significant impacts of otherwise minor incidents by lending assistance to stranded motorists. This service should improve safety along the corridor.
The service patrols will communicate with the NHDOT's Traffic Management Center (TMC) in Concord, which has direct contact with State Police and other emergency responders. Those in need of minor roadside assistance can also call the TMC at 271-6TMC (271-6862).
Studies have shown that even minor incidents on the shoulder of a busy highway can have a significant impact on lane capacity, vehicle speeds, and driver safety because drivers tend to shy away from fixed or still objects near the travel way.

Mackinac Center Defends Resort Owner's Free Speech Right
State media covers tourism bureau lawsuit
No one should tell individuals how to run their businesses or their advertising, but that is what is happening to resort and hotel owners in Northern Michigan.
The Indian River Area Tourist Bureau levies a 5 percent tax on each rented room in its region, violating the free speech rights of property owners like George Galbraith, who disagree with the forced speech. Last week, the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit on Galbraith's behalf, arguing such regional taxes and the Michigan law authorizing the Indian River bureau are unconstitutional.
"The government can't compel you to pay for speech which you don't agree with," Mackinac Center Senior Attorney Derk Wilcox told Michigan Public Radio.
Galbraith owns The Landings on Indian River and said he shouldn't be forced to pay for tourism promotion that he neither wants nor needs.
Stay Engaged
"They don't have meetings," Galbraith said in an interview with UpNorthLive/ WPBN. "They're just not accountable. I call them the tourist mafia because you have to join. They take your money and you don't get anything for it."
Reporters have noted that even they have had difficulty tracking down bureau manager Al Thompson. Mackinac's Senior Investigative Analyst Anne Schieber told WPBN that the inaccessibility of the bureau is a problem for the resort owners who fund it.
It becomes a huge problem when one person is in charge of this and no information at all is being given back to these business owners. …We're prepared for a very big fight because there are a lot of special interests involved.
Wilcox said tourism bureaus may have made sense before social media and the internet, but now, Galbraith and other hotel operators are able to manage their own advertising, usually for a fraction of the cost. Galbraith should be free to make that decision on his own, Wilcox told the Petoskey News-Review.
It would be like if a chamber of commerce became mandatory and you had to pay. You may argue that that is great but some people want to do it on their own and not have to be forced to pay for the advertising.

For a third straight day on Wednesday, the prosecution, defense and Judge Richard Chinn inside Brockton Superior Court were unable to fully empanel a 16 member jury in the trial of James Winquist.
Prosecutors say Winquist and Eric Snow, who killed himself in his jail cell in March, bludgeoned to death 47-year-old William Chrapan and 49-year-old David Lyons in May 2005 leaving their bodies in a World War II ammunition bunker in the Bare Cove Park in Hingham. Winquist faces two counts of murder.
At the end of the session on Wednesday, in the jurors box were 15 so-called indifferent jurors selected out of the jury pools from the last three days. On Wednesday, the defense, prosecution and judge picked through 72 potential jurors. By 11:15 a.m on Wednesday, 12 women and three men had been picked.
During the empanelment process, selected jurors, like the 15 indifferent jurors chosen so far, remain as indifferent jurors until the prosecution and defense officially decide that they are satisfied. When both are content, a full jury will be sworn in, making up a fully empanelled jury.
According to Defense Attorney Joseph Krowski Jr, he has used all of his challenges which allow the possibility of eliminating an indifferent juror, with the chance for a new one to be selected. Prosecutors John Bradley and Suzanne McDonough collectively have one challenge remaining.
It's expected that the jury could be fully empanelled Thursday morning before lunch, with the opening statements and possibly testimony from at least one witness by the end of the day on Thursday.
The case is expected to resume at 9:00 Thursday morning inside Brockton Superior Court.

Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by Artful Dodger, Feb 21, 2012.
That's a great looking gaming website, full of topical gaming news.
Really liking the layout, what wordpress template you using?
Its a good design, easy to navigate.
It'll net you some traffic,
however the name is like a foreigner wrote it as it doesn't 'flow'.
Hello, thanks for the comment. The Wordpress theme we're using is Continuum.
Thanks for the feedback. What do you mean by you'll net me some traffic? Thanks again.
Great to navigate, layout is really into games. I am no a big fan of games, but Liked your website
good good.. theme is great
I won't net you any traffic, the design and such will get you some.
Meaning, it's good enough to stay and look around on it without people taking one look and going "WTF? bye"
There's too much on the homepage (in my opinion), but otherwise it looks great!
Overall good.
But critism is always useful. I found it hard to know where to look. I gave the website 10 seconds as any visitor would, and it's hard to know whats what and where is stuff.. too much going on. BUT.. I'd give it 8/10
Is this an autoblog because it seems like it. Good design overall but clumsy and slow to navigate. The pages take time to load maybe you need better cache server side?
I like the overall design and layout. One think you might want to fix is the footer section where you have 10 different anchors all linking to your homepage. Google will probably see this as spam and may penalize you.
Best of luck!
Ditch the background image. It's not a clickable ad, but eyes go to it instead of your ads.
With a different background, you'll likely convert more visitors to clicks.
What makes you think it's an autoblog? The content is 100% original written by my authors. http://www.maxvideogaming.com/the-crew/
Really nice looking site. If you need ideas about what to write about, you should check N4G.com
Maybe you know about them, but just in case.
We actually do know about them, a lot of our articles have been featured on there.
Looks Good. I know about this Theme used
nice site!
I thought the content was just spun or something because nearly all the posts are very short and only really have one image. The site also does not have much feedback/comments and quite a few articles.
Fair enough.
The website has only been running for a bit over a month so I'm guessing that's the reason for the lack of interaction.
...and yeah the articles are quire short and newsy. We're working on getting some reviews on there.
Thanks for the feedback.
At first glance the home page seems very in-your-face, and I don't understand why you have a PS Vita background. It looks like an ad, but isn't one. Pointless.
I glanced at a few of the articles as well, and they were amateur to say the least. I'm not sure if your writers are native English speakers, but the overall syntax in sentence structure just seems bad. This could be due to a low level understanding of the English language.
I do like the images, and the theme isn't that bad. I guess I'm just not a fan of the square layout you have below the fold.
Anyways, I suggest you get some better writers. One of the writers, Bilal, who apparently is also a co-founder really seems to suck at writing to be honest. Run on sentences, bad grammar, and poor word flow are all over his articles. All I know is I wouldn't go to your site for video game news.
Edit: Sorry if I come across as being mean, but I am somewhat of a perfectionist. I notice the little things, and I tend to be brutally honest. Best of luck to you though.
Separate names with a comma.

The story of Bengaluru's Electronic City began when the first ever Chairman and Managing Director of Karnataka State Electronics Corporation decided to invest in a land parcel on the outskirts of the city to build an electronics hub. Phase I of this project was developed over an expanse of 332 acres as early as 1978. The authorities of both Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) and Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation Limited (KEONICS) were equally involved in the birth and further growth of this influential IT hub of the city.
Electronic City lies in the southernmost outskirts of Bengaluru. Phase I lies right next to the Hosur Road, sandwiched between Phase II on its east and Phase III on its west. It consists mostly of retail hubs of electronic goods and services, with large land parcels dedicated to IT-SEZs. The development has been so extensive that the IT industry in Electronic City Phase I is completely saturated.
Connectivity and Transit Points
The Hosur Road, aka the NH-7, runs parallel to Phase I to the north-east, and is one of the major access roads in this region. It connects this locality with important localities like Silk Board Junction, Madiwala, and Brigade Road. The famous NICE Ring Road, demarcating the southern border of Bengaluru, runs quite close to Phase I, and is used by many to access the localities of Gottigere, Kengeri, as well as the Bangalore Mysore Expressway.
The Electronic City Bus Depot (Depot-19) is the major bus stand in the region. Although it falls under Phase II of Electronic City, it caters widely to the needs of all the other sub-localities in this region as well. It witnesses a total of over 5000 trips daily, including both starting and passing trips, towards Attibele, Anekal, and Chandapura. There are also a number of smaller bus stops within Phase I itself, namely Shikaripalya Cross, Electronic City State Bank, Electronic City Infosys Gate, and Konappa Agrahara.
The nearest railway transit is the Heelalige Railway Station, which lies 9 km from Electronic City Phase I. This station is not however conducive to inter-state travel. The Bangalore City Junction and the Yeshwantpur Railway Station are 23 km and 28 km away respectively, from Electronic City Phase I. The airport is another story altogether. Located all the way in North Bengaluru, it is 54 km away from Phase I of the Electronic City. The airport road however is a delight to travel on and provides for quick and easy commute.
Major Landmarks
Factors for Growth in the Past
Electronic City was born out of the vision to develop an industrial town with small-, medium-, and large-scale industries. Phase I was the earliest developed phase of Electronic City. In fact, to this date, Electronic City has remained synonymous with Electronic City Phase I. The IT and electronics bigwigs like Infosys, Wipro, Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions, Celstream Technologies, OnMobile Global, Microland, Fanuc India, and many others have all been situated right here. And it was with the set-up of these company offices that Phase I was transformed from the sleepy village on the outskirts of Bengaluru to an industrial and commercial hub.
Industrialisation aside, the development of physical infrastructure around Electronic City contributed plenty to the rapid growth of Phase I. A notable development is the Bangalore Elevated Tollway Ltd or BETL Flyover, connecting Silk Board Junction and the Electronic City Junction. This 9-km long, 4-lane, 2-way flyover has reduced travel time between these two transit points of the city from 1 hour to 10 minutes.
Residential and Commercial Market
Residential Market Trends
One look at the residential market of Electronic City Phase I and it seems like the area has been developed over a long period. The market is dominated by apartment buildings that have come up in the recent past, followed by individual houses and villas, and residential plots in Electronic City Phase I. But the property prices here are much lower than elsewhere in the city, mostly because of the comparatively low demand and its location on the outskirts of Bengaluru. Spacious 2 or 3 BHK apartment units are available at Rs 1,600-2,200 per sq. ft. for sale, and Rs 15,000-20,000 per month for rent.
Commercial Market Trends
The commercial market in Electronic City Phase I is thriving. The commercial properties and office retail spaces available for sale here are priced low, just like their residential counterparts. The rate for commercial buildings lies in the price bracket of Rs 2,000-2,250 per sq. ft., while the rent lies between Rs 38-45 per sq. ft.
Major Challenges
The civic amenities in Electronic City Phase I have always been up to the mark, with rare water or power shortage problems. Perhaps the two notable challenges for this sub-locality is the still underdeveloped residential sector and inadequate social infrastructure. The residential sector under Phase I is not properly developed, even after two decades. And the roads are badly broken and damaged beyond the Wipro Gate 16. There are no government parks and playgrounds either.
Factors for Growth in the Future
Investors are waiting for the upcoming Namma Metro Phase II to illuminate the investment possibilities on this side of the city. A new line is coming up, connecting E.V. Road and Bommasandra. A number of metro stations will be coming up in and around this region, especially the Electronic City I Metro station. With such improved connectivity, Electronic City will overcome the only hurdle it has standing in its path at the moment – of lying in the outskirts of the city.
Another reason for the residents and businessmen of Electronic City to rejoice is the upcoming incorporation of all three phases – I, II, and III - under the jurisdiction of an industrial authority, which is going to consist of representatives nominated from the companies in Electronic City. With the establishment of Electronic City as an industrial township, there will be more focus on industrial and economic growth in this region. Projects will move faster, without being bogged down by bureaucratic red tape.
The Cyber Park project in Electronic City Phase I is a work-in-progress. It is contributing aplenty in attracting companies from all across India and abroad. Now, more industries are showing interest in setting up their company offices in this magnificent infrastructural testament.

Shia LeBeouf is considered to be a good actor in Hollywood. The 'Transformers' star has made a name for himself on the big screen and was about to make his debut on Broadway, when he dropped out of Orphans. Daniel Sullivan, who is the director of the Lyle Kessler play said that he was concerned about the actors performance choices. Previews of the Orphan were to start on March 19, 2013.
According to the produces of the show, LaBeouf dropped out of the play due to creative difference with Alec Baldwin, with whom he was to share the stage. Tom Sturridge was the other actor in the play about two orphaned brothers who kidnap a wealthy man. The 'Lawless' actor had posted shots of email messages exchanged between himself, Baldwin and Sullivan on February 21, 2013, in regards to the play. He proceeded to call the situation 'dis-agreeable'.
In response to Shia's statement Sullivan responded, "I'm too old for disagreeable situations. You're one hell of a great actor. Alec is who he is. You are who you are. You two are incompatible. I should have known it. This one will haunt me. You tried to warn me. You said you were a different breed. I didn't get it."
The play is set to start on April 7, 2013 and the producers of the show will soon be announcing a replacement for LaBeouf.

Trouble with My Appliances
I really don't like my microwave. In fact, I think it may be evil. Or at least demented. The thing beeps at me relentlessly. If I don't take my tea mug out right away it beeps at me ("BEEP-BEEP"). If I don't turn off the timer after the cookies are done, it beeps at me ("BEEEEEEEP"). Shut uuuuuup! Jeez, I'll get to it when I get to it!
Plus, it's been making a horrible clanking noise lately. I think the mechanism inside that controls the turn-table is broken. I'm afraid to stand too close to it while it's running because it I'm afraid it's going to explode or something.
Plus, the plastic is cracking around the window.
Plus, well, just trust me. It's evil.
2. My Poor Food Processor
It broke. I'm so sad. The handle just shattered when I tried to put the lid on one day. Poor thing. I have a new bowl ordered.
3. My Kitchen Aid Mixer
Well, this one I don't actually have any trouble with. I loooooove my KA mixer. It's the scraping beater attachment I got for it that was the trouble. It was an off-brand and made of plastic and it finally busted. The good news it that KA now makes its own scraping beater attachment, which is made of metal, so I treated myself to one of those. I love my KA mixer. My parents got it for me when we got married almost 12 years ago and it's still going strong.
2 comments:
I wish my KA mixer was that good! Mine started making a HORRIBLE grinding sound last month, but I kept using it...until the metal ring around the mixer part(technical term)fell off into a batch of buttercream, and metal shavings flew out, destroying my frosting!!! Arggh! AND it was one two months past my one year warranty! I have to take it to a electric motor person I guess. My mom bought hers quite a while ago and has never had a problem. I am in mourning right now:(...ReplyDelete
This was a great post! The Kitchen Aid mixers still look the same as they do today! I was clueless about Kitchen Aid's until about 2 or 3 years ago when I got mine. My electric hand mixer got a lot of use before I bought my Kitchen Aid(s) so one of the beaters comes off when I try to mix anything like a cookie batter. :( I still keep it around for mixing up icing though.ReplyDelete

Most emerging Asian currencies traded within a narrow range on Tuesday as investors waited to see if Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen would stick to her positive economic outlook at an event later in the day. The Fed chair is due to join a discussion in London on global economic issues that takes place after a recent batch of weak U.S. economic data. This year, the Fed has raised rates twice, and it has forecast one more hike in 2017.
Financial conditions have loosened in the past year despite the Fed raising interest rates three times since December, which is another reason to continue tightening, New York Fed President William Dudley said in remarks published on Monday. "On an otherwise quiet day, market participants will likely focus on Fed Chair Yellen's speech", Societe Generale said in a note. "Her words will be scrutinised for any colour about the timing of the next rate hike against a backdrop of mounting concerns over the inflation outlook."
Showing how little regional currencies moved, the Indian rupee was the big gainer, though it only edged up 0.1 percent. U.S. President Donald Trump urged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to do more to relax Indian trade barriers on Monday. Among other Asian currencies, the Thai baht, the ringgit and the Singapore dollar were all flat against the dollar. The Philippine peso was among the biggest losers, shedding 0.1 percent. The currency has been among the worst performers in the region this year, weakening about one percent against the dollar.
The won rose as much as 0.3 percent early Tuesday but then the gains were erased. South Korea's consumer sentiment improved for a fifth straight month in June, reaching a six and a half-year high, a central bank survey showed on Tuesday. The sentiment was also buoyed by the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) which touched a record high of 2,397.14, boosted by expectations of a strong second quarter. Foreign investors have been net buyers on KOSPI for three consecutive sessions.
The Taiwan dollar inched up 0.1 percent to 30.320, heading for its fourth-straight day of gains. "Taiwan's currency is likely to remain stuck in its current trading range of 30.0-30.5 for now, but could face intermittent depreciation pressure in July or the third quarter," Scotiabank said in a note. "We would like to sell USD/TWD if it breaks below the 30.0 support but to buy the pair if it rallies through the 30.5 mark," the brokerage added. The currency has been among the best performers in Asia this year, appreciating more than 6 percent against the dollar.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — An appeals court ruled Monday an Iraqi-born man should be extradited to the United States to face charges that he helped coordinate Tunisian jihadists believed responsible for a suicide attack in Iraq in 2009 that killed five American soldiers outside a U.S. base.
Sayfildin Tahir Sharif, who holds dual Canadian-Iraqi citizenship, was arrested in 2011 on a U.S. warrant and has been fighting extradition to New York.
The prosecution alleges Sharif worked from Edmonton, Alberta, to help a Tunisian man enter Iraq in 2009 and detonate a truck filled with explosives at a military checkpoint, killing five U.S. soldiers. Prosecutors contend that evidence from intercepted Internet and phone conversations shows that Sharif was directly involved in supporting Tunisian terrorists. Sharif never left Canada as part of the alleged conspiracy.
The terror network is also accused of blowing up an Iraqi police station, killing seven Iraqi officers.
Canada's justice minister granted extradition last summer after receiving assurances from the U.S. that Sharif wouldn't face the death penalty. Defense lawyers also received a letter from U.S. authorities promising the man wouldn't be held indefinitely in pre-trial detention.
Sharif was appealing the justice minister's decision as well as a judge's original ruling in 2012 that there was enough evidence to extradite Sharif on two charges.
Sharif is an ethnic Kurd who was born in Iraq but moved to Toronto as a refugee in 1993. Four years later, he became a Canadian citizen.
In 2011, he was arrested at an Edmonton apartment where he lived with his girlfriend and her children.
Defense lawyers had argued before the appeals court that Royal Canadian Mounted Police didn't allow Sharif access to a lawyer or interpreter the day of his arrest, and transcripts of police interviews show he didn't understand what was going on.
They also said allegations against their client came from three people, including his brother, who were tortured by investigators in Iraq.
The Appeal Court of Alberta ruled that none of the arguments merited keeping Sharif in Canada.
