I will be in Ipoh for 2 days next week . Can someone recommend what is the must see and must eats during my short stay there . Thank you
2 Answers
For Dim Sum I recommened Yoke Fok Moon, Ming Kok or Foh San, all three are on the same lane. For chicken kuewtiao you can try the lou wong's version but it will be very crowded, if you can, look for the one at buntong, it's not very famous among non-locals but it's really good and it's only open at night. I recommend the chicken feet, they're available after 8.30pm. For the white coffee there are quite a few places, but try the one in old town (yes, the old town Ipoh, as in the old building, not the franchised ones) the shop's name is Nam Heong (opens in the morning), there you can get roti baker, char kuewtiao, portugese egg tart, curry mee and more. The kopitiam opposite Nam Heong also serves great white coffee. If you want to have white coffee at night I suggest the coffee shop by the name "Chang Jiang" . It's on the way to Pasir Puteh and it opens at night. If you have time maybe you could try the Claypot chicken rice at Bercham. about 7 years agoAnswered by Ki L via WorldNomads.com
Ipoh Hor Fun, which is a rice noodle dish served with a clear broth is very popular as is Ipoh chicken rice. over 3 years agoAnswered by Izak via WorldNomads.com

Coral Sports Review & Free Bet
When thinking of UK bookmakers, Coral instantly springs to mind to betting fans. Founded in 1926, Coral has been at the front of British betting for a very long time, along with other companies such as Bet365 and Betfred. Coral is up there with the best when it comes to sport betting so for those who are sports fans I would definitley suggest having a look at Coral as they have plenty of choices to bet on, including various sports events. In 2004 Coral launched their online website which was then followed up by a mobile phone app which became available to both IOS and Android users. In 2016 long time rivals Ladbrokes merged with Coral and created the 'Ladbrokes Coral Group". At the end of 2016 it was announced that Coral had a revenue of £1.508 billion.
Website Layout:
In my opinion, the Coral website is well laid out. On the left side all the sports are displayed along the side in a column format. Right on the middle of the page at the top are all the events and the offers/bonuses that come with them if you place a bet. At the top of the page there are multiple tabs for the user to choose from, some of which are 'In Play', 'Live Casino', and 'Gaming'. At the bottom of the page all the payment methods which are accepted by Coral are displayed, along with the 'help' and "contact us" tabs. On the right side of the page there are tabs for the user to 'Join Now' or 'Log in'.
Coral's main colour is dark blue which is shown all throughout the website, there are also hints of yellow, green, red and white too. The main body of the website is blue with white text and the adverts/promotions page are multicolored, including green and red. The 'log in' and 'join now' options are highlighted in green and yellow, I personally feel this was done to catch the attention of the user as they are bright colours and can easily be missed if they were not highlighted in a noticeable colour.
Coral are one of the best betting companies if we are talking about markets. The choices of sports and different gaming options available truly are fantastic. There is in play betting, live casinos, sports betting, poker, bingo, and more. Along with the different types of games available, there is also a great range of sports available for users to bet on, these include Football, Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Baseball, Boxing, Cricket, Curling, Formula 1, Golf, Darts, Hockey, Horse Racing, Handball and Greyhound racing.
In Play Betting:
On the home page, the third tab is 'IN-PLAY', if the user clicks on this then they will be led to the 'in play' page where they have the option to place a bet on a game that has already started. Once on that page, all the live games and different sports are shown, with their odds displayed right next to them.
Welcome Bonus:
Coral are well known for their offers and promotions and users will see this when they are on the website. As soon as the user enters the homepage of Coral, there will be many ads which are promoting offers and promotions available to take advantage of. There are always exclusive offers for new customers and this is one of the reasons they are so successful, because of the amount of people that want to take advantage of these great offers. Despite gaining popularity with their new customer offers, Coral also take care of their existing customers and ensure that they have promotions in which they can participate in too. The most common welcome bonuses are, "Get £20 in free bets when you bet £5". Another popular one is "Enhanced each-way on selected Horse racing". To make things better, there is even a 'promotions' page on the website which shows every single offer and promotion that coral have available to their customers.
Payment Methods/Client Support:
Being one of the UK's top betting companies, Coral ensure that they provide the best service for their customers and this is also the case with the payment methods. All popular and commonly used methods of payments are accepted, these are, MasterCard, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, Maestro and also E – Wallets, which include, Neteller, Skrill, GBGA and PayPal. Coral are known for their good customer service so with this being said, they have provided a few options for their customers to use if they need to contact the company if there are any issues. These are, a 24/7 live chat, Twitter and Facebook page as well as a free customer support phone line which is open from 8am – 22:00 every day.
Coral has always been one of my personal favorites in terms of online sports betting and I still feel the same. A great website has been provided for customers which is easy to use and has a nice elegant look about it. The website is also great to navigate, and everything is displayed clearly so the user knows where to go without getting confused. The colour scheme is bright and refreshing and the ads/promotions are not too big. Another bonus about Coral is the fact that they have an online app too, some online betting companies do not provide an app which can be disappointing because of the inconvenience caused. I personally do not find anything wrong with what I have seen from Coral, if I was to suggest an improvement I would say that it may be better to stick with 1 or 2 colours rather than 4 or 5 like Coral have done, this is just a personal preference and I still rate Coral very highly.

Not content with their recent, record-breaking tests of weaponized railguns, the US Navy is also intent on using the technology to launch fighter jets from aircraft carriers. And they successfully did just that with an F/A-18E Super Hornet.
The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), can move a 100,000 pound jet 386km/h across a 90m runway space. According to the Navy, not only is EMALS is a smaller and more efficient method of launching planes than steam turbines, it can deliver 30 per cent more power. The Navy says they will to use this system to launch all aircraft from carriers going forward, including heavy strike fighters and lightweight drones.
According to Danger Room, EMALS will be fully implemented on all future aircraft carriers (the next scheduled deployment of a new carrier will be the USS Gerald R. Ford in 2015). In the meantime, they plan to test the launch system out on other aircraft, including the C-2 and T-45 planes.
Now that railguns can basically do EVERYTHING (have you seen NASA's plans?!), when does these things get their own TV infomercials? Will it be payable in three easy installments of a trillion dollars? [http://dvice.com/archives/2010/12/electromagnetic-1.phpNavy via Danger Room via Dvice via Slashdot]

Filed under Jerrod, Reviews
Starring: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad
Directed by: Chris Buck ("Tarzan") and Jennifer Lee (debut)
Written by: Chris Buck ("Surf's Up") and Jennifer Lee ("Wreck-It Ralph")
The late Howard Ashman, lyricist behind the songs in such contemporary Disney classics as "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast," had a deceptively simple formula for building the backbone of a movie musical. Paraphrasing from the documentary "Waking Sleeping Beauty," Ashman's Broadway-honed process involved writing four or five show-stopping songs first with the story strung in between. While it doesn't make for terribly original storytelling, the songs were powerful and memorable enough to push through their rather basic fairytale trappings.
"Frozen" begins with two young princesses, Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell), sneaking out of bed for some late-night frolicking in the castle. There's something special about the sisters' playtime, though: Elsa has the power to create ice and snow from her fingertips, and turns a ballroom into a winter wonderland. When an accident caused by Elsa's powers nearly kills Anna, the girls' parents lock Elsa away from Anna. The years pass and as Elsa is set to ascend to the throne as queen, incidents at her coronation lead Elsa to lose control and cast the kingdom into a never-ending winter.
Brassy and beautiful, "Frozen" resurrects the Disney animated musical, a genre left for dead when the quality waned and upstarts like Pixar and Dreamworks started pumping out clever, computer-generated cartoons that didn't rely on cornball songs shoehorned in every 10 minutes or so. While the marketing may overly-emphasize the lovably goofy magical snowman Olaf (Josh Gad in an incredibly endearing performance), this is first and foremost a Broadway-bred fairytale told with soaring songs and crystalline CGI beauty. The romantic in me decries the demise of traditional 2D animation, but the frosty landscape rendered digitally here wouldn't have been nearly as jaw-dropping had they been rendered in old-school ink and paint.
"Frozen" is a polished and exhilarating film, and Disney is surely hard at work lining up the characters for wintertime theme park takeovers from now through the next century. Get used to it, everyone: the Mouse House is back in the game of churning out instant classics.
When in Rome
January 29, 2010 by Kiko Martinez
Filed under Reviews
Starring: Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Dax Shepard
Directed by: Mark Steven Johnson ("Ghost Rider")
Written by: David Diamond ("Old Dogs") and David Weissman ("Old Dogs")
Take the screenwriters of one of the unfunniest comedies of 2009 ("Old Dogs") and team them up with the director of two of the worst superhero movies of the last decade ("Daredevil" and "Ghost Rider") and there's no telling what kind of mutant cinematic love-child can be spawned.
Whatever label you'd like to put on the new romantic comedy "When in Rome," it's unfortunate that Kristen Bell ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall") – an actress that makes looking adorable an art form – has her name attached. It's the type of pointless rom com that is easy to dismiss if you've clawed your way through enough of them.
In this latest entry of chick-flick torture, Bell plays Beth, a Manhattan museum curator who is too busy with her career to search for Mr. Right. Her interest in love is at an all-time low since her last boyfriend dumped her at Applebee's and announced his engagement to another woman soon after.
While a wedding would be the last place Beth would want to go, especially with her boss Celeste (Anjelica Huston) breathing down her neck about an upcoming art show, Beth travels to Rome to see her little sister get married to an guy she's only known for two weeks.
In Rome she meets Nick (Josh Duhamel), a sportswriter and charming best man who could have made perfect boyfriend material if Beth wasn't so skeptical about relationships. Her cynicism (in addition to a little too much wine) drives Beth to take coins from a fountain in the city's square where people make wishes to fall in love. In turn, the men whose coins Beth snatches from the magical fountain immediately direct their attention to Beth and follow her back to New York to try to win her heart.
Leading the pack of stalkers are actors Dax Shepard as an arrogant male model, Will Arnett as a crazy Italian artist, Jon Heder as a untalented street magician, and Danny DeVito as a friendly sausage capitalist. Other than DeVito's short stature and the fact that he's the only character of the bunch not written like a bumbling fool, there's nothing remotely funny about Beth's ridiculous suitors.
As the story continues to unravel as predictably as possible and with scarce humor, screenwriters David Diamond and David Weissman decide that it might be neat to emphasize their unoriginality by writing in a "Napoleon Dynamite" reference into the script where Heder (the star of the 2004 indie hit) reunites with actor Efren Ramirez, who played Napoleon's best friend Pedro. Really? The cameo works about as well as the rest of the thoughtless jokes that plague the script.
In the end, "When in Rome" is one uncreative sight gag after another. From Beth and Nick's date to a restaurant where food is served in the dark to the weird "Wizard of Oz" curveball it throws at the end, director Mark Steven Johnson seems to have told the entire cast to just run with it and have some mindless fun. If only we were so lucky.
Couples Retreat
October 9, 2009 by Kiko Martinez
Filed under Reviews
Starring: Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell
Directed by: Peter Billingsley (debut)
Written by: Vince Vaughn (debut), Jon Favreau ("Swingers"), Dana Fox ("What Happens in Vegas")
Pack light. "Couples Retreat" might seem like an island paradise at first glance, but the star-powered date movie quickly turns into something as enjoyable as the most annoying parts of a free timeshare vacation.
Directed by Peter Billingsley (he played Ralphie in "A Christmas Story"), "Couples Retreat" is not the kind of comedy anyone should take their fiancé (or fiancée) to if they plan to keep the thought of marriage positive before the big day. With so many unlikeable and featureless characters and a script that reads like a fall TV sitcom begging to get axed after six episodes, "Retreat" recoils into childish and repetitive jokes, character clichés (Carlos Ponce steals Hank Azaria's role from "Along Came Polly" and plays a macho womanizer) and a whole lot of unfunny foolishness.
Basically, the film capsizes right from the start. Married couple Jason and Cynthia (Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell) are thinking about getting a divorce. They've weighed all the pros and cons of splitting up, but don't think they can come to a conscious decision unless they make one last effort by going to a tropical island resort where they can spend quality time with each other and get some much-needed marriage counseling.
Problem is, Jason and Cynthia can't afford the trip on their own (here's an idea: plan a cheaper trip), so they ask their friends to go with them so they can take advantage of the group rate. It takes some groveling on Jason's part, but before anyone can say Beach Blanket Bingo Dave and Ronnie (Vince Vaughn and Malin Ackerman), Joey and Lucy (Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis), and Shane and Trudy (Faizon Love and Kali Hawk) are getting off an airplane at a destination described as "Disneyland for adults."
But what is supposed to be a fun-filled week for a majority of the group becomes a dreaded marathon of couple-building exercises when relationship guru Monsieur Marcel (Jean Reno) makes everyone wake up a the crack of dawn to talk about their feelings and participate in other nonsensical icebreakers (who knew throwing bloody chum at sharks could save a marriage!).
Each couple has their specific problems, but none of them are of much significance in the hands of screenwriters Favreau, Vaughn, and Dana Fox ("What Happens in Vegas"). What the writing trio identifies with the most isn't the deep-seeded problems of a broken relationship, but instead how far they can push their couples (and the audience) to the brink of boredom.
The funniest scene of the movie comes when the men are discussing whether or not thinking about other women while having sex with your wife should be considered cheating. It's not a groundbreaking joke or anything, but the guys refer to it as a personal "highlight reel" (the best sexual experiences of one's life), which is fairly clever in terms of sports metaphors. A few misplaced chuckles, however, don't make up for the movie's major limitations.
"When you're married, love is having someone to go to Applebee's with," Vaughn's Dave proclaims by the end of the movie. It might sound like the same kind of cute gibberish you would hear someone like actor Michael Cera deliver in a romantic comedy, but something about "Couples Retreat" makes us think all the characters involved are just dense enough to believe it.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
April 13, 2008 by Kiko Martinez
Filed under Reviews
Starring: Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis
Directed by: Nicholas Stoller (debut)
Written by: Jason Segel (debut)
When it comes to riding the coattails of a friend in the film industry things can go as badly as watching Adam Sandler continue to dish out subpar movies for his buddies Rob Schneider, Allen Covert, and David Spade to star in under his Happy Madison production company or they can go as fairly well for others like Greg Mottola, Seth Rogan, and Jake Kasdan. They are only three of a handful of director Judd Apatow's friends whom he has graced with the opportunity to earn directing and writing credits in films he finances. Sometimes the project works ("Superbad"). Other times, not so well ("Drillbit Taylor").
In the most recent of Apatow's work as a producer, he gets courageous again by handing over the reigns for the comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" to first time director Nicholas Stoller and first time screenwriter Jason Segel, who also stars in the film. It's a hit and miss first attempt where the peeks in humor will have you laughing out loud and the valleys leaving you wondering why the film feels so bipolar.
After getting dumped by his famous TV actress girlfriend Sarah (Kristen Bell), TV show composer Peter Bretter (Jason Segel) takes some advice and drags his broken heart to Hawaii for a much-needed getaway. A trip to an island paradise, however, isn't going to turn out as Peter expected since Sarah and her new rock star boyfriend Aldous (Russell Brand) have also decided to travel to the same location. Deciding to stay the course and test his emotional strength, Peter ends up meeting Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis), a possible new love interest who could take his mind off of his devil-of-an-ex.
Like with all other Apatow productions, when the humor flows out naturally from the characters the film is at its most sincere and entertaining. Although it takes a while to get Segel's character out of his self-pitying rut, once he realizes he has something to offer to the opposite sex, the film takes some interesting twists in familiar territory.
Not everything Apatow touches turns to gold, but with Stoller and Segel's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," there is enough refreshing material and awkward deadpan to call it enjoyable.

New Horizons: Last view of Pluto's spots
The vast distance to Pluto – some 4.7bn km – means bit rates are extremely slow, and it will take a full 16 months for everything seen in the next few days to trickle back to Earth.
Closest approach to Pluto on Tuesday is set for exactly 11:49:59 GMT (12:49:59 BST; 07:49:59 EDT).
NASA's New Horizons Plans July 7 Return to Normal Science Operations
Preparations are ongoing to resume the originally planned science operations on July 7 and to conduct the entire close flyby sequence as planned. The mission science team and principal investigator have concluded that the science observations lost during the anomaly recovery do not affect any primary objectives of the mission, with a minimal effect on lesser objectives.

HE NAMED ME MALALA (PG, 87 mins) Documentary. Malala Yousafzai, Ziauddin Yousafzai, Toor Pekai Yousafzai, Khushal Yousafzai, Atal Yousafzai. Director: Davis Guggenheim.
DAVIS Guggenheim's inspirational documentary is not just a glowing tribute to 18-year-old Pakistani activist and Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, who famously survived an assassination attempt by Taliban gun men.
He Named Me Malala is also a deeply touching story of a proud father and daughter, who have drawn strength from each other in times of unimaginable pain and adversity.
Many images in Guggenheim's film stir the soul, not least Jason Carpenter's gorgeous animated sequences which bookmark this affectionate biography.
However, what lingers longest are fly-on-the-wall footage of Malala and her father Ziauddin, walking hand-in-hand through a media scrum or nestled together, exhausted, in adjacent seats on an airplane.
"We became dependent on each other, like one soul in two bodies," explains the patriarch, who established a chain of schools and raised his daughter in an environment of wonder and learning.
This bond of unerring faith between two people, who have defied the Taliban and could pay with their lives if they return home to Pakistan, provides the film with its emotional core.
Guggenheim's cameras are granted unprecedented access to the family and there are lovely sequences of Malala bickering with her brothers Khushal and Atal at their home in Birmingham, explaining to the youngest boy that she occasionally slaps him out of sisterly affection.
The siblings are cheeky scamps and tease Malala about her crushes on famous cricket players and Wimbledon champion Roger Federer.
She giggles when the director probes a little deeper about boys she likes and nervously dodges the question.
In these everyday domestic scenes, in which Malala's mother Toor Pekai makes fleeting appearances, we're reminded that she is still a teenager, prone to the usual growing pains and the pressure to pass her examinations.
Away from the West Midlands, the film joins Malala and Ziauddin as they fly around the world, spreading her message of education and equality.
The attack, which brought her to worldwide attention, casts a shadow over each rousing speech and awards ceremony, and Guggenheim waits until the film's second half to deliver the emotional sucker punch of Malala reminiscing about the shooting with classmates Kainat and Shazia.
A single photograph of their blood-spattered school bus brings home the carnage with horrifying clarity.
Her recuperation and rehabilitation at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham once again emphasizes the bond between child and parent.
"When she woke up, her first question was: where's my father?" recalls a British nurse of the moment that Malala regained consciousness after hours in a critical condition.
"It's so hard to get things done in this world. But you have to try and never give up," muses the teenager at one point.
He Named Me Malala is a cri de coeur for us all to follow suit.

A Girl in Sheep's Clothing
My colleagues are fans on the shearling boot and persuaded me (although, really, it didn't take that much) to get some. But I've never considered an Ugg to be my style. But the warmth... THE WARMTH! How could I not have that in my life? And when we got let out of work an hour early it really seemed like a sign as I would be able to make it to my favourite boutique, Lux, to have a look at their reduced Australian Luxe boots.
The pair above were ones that I lusted after a couple of months ago but their price was prohibitive. But at two thirds off now they didn't seem so bad. Now the question was, could I compromise my style for cosy toes? I put them on and while it was like sliding my feet into heaven I knew that they just weren't for me.
Fortunately they also had the Belstaff Jenn Gumlight boot. Sheepskin lined, but leather. A bit more practical, a bit cooler, and at the same price, it really wasn't too much to work out. Except that my bulky calves mean that I will have to make more holes in the straps. But that is a little niggle for a really perfect, and warm pair of boots. Here's to happy feet. Yay!

text: peterhayes 1 Report post Posted June 24, 2005 Pete I need your help to assign (and calibrate) cowl flaps (single engine) to one of the spare levers (I chose the middle lever arbitrarily) on a CH Yoke (USB) using FSUIPC 3.48. I have read the manual(s) as thoroughly as I am able but I still need some clarification. In accordance with the instructions I have assigned the designated value (from the FS2004 list of controls), ie COWLFLAP1_SET 66162 in the [Joystick Calibration] section of the ini file. I then tried to assign the axis via "settings - joystick assignments" in FS2004 (to the middle lever on the CH Yoke) to Cowl Flaps, but could not achieve that, I could only assign a key stroke for cowl flaps. On starting FS2004, opening FSUIPC and going to Page 8 of the joystick set up for cowl flaps, I find that none of the levers on the yoke move any of the values on Page 8 for the cowl flaps. This is not surprising as I haven't assigned anything in FS2004 for FSUIPC to work with. Therefore, I have obviously missed a step somewhere! My question is how to assign an axis or axes in FS2004 (to Cowl Flaps) so that it is assigned to the middle lever on the CH Yoke and hence FSUIPC can calibrate it? Hope you can help?

text: Exhibition of Matthew Thompson 14.2.2017 Come and see an exhibition of MATTHEW THOMPSON photos in our cooltour café! MATTHEW THOMPSON follows the traditional calendar, both Christian and Pagan, seeking out rituals, traditions, mysteries, contradictions, archetypes, both ancient and modern, in a documentary way, looking for pictures that show more than just the content. When did you start taking photos? I first started taking pictures at the end of 2011, about the time, I moved to Ostrava. When I came to Ostrava, my wife had shown me some pictures by local photographers that seemed to capture more than just the content they were showing, and I found them very interesting. Maybe a few months later, I bought a cheap camera from the 1970's, and started taking pictures for myself. For a year or so, I just took pictures here and there, and by 2013, I started to become more systematic as to the kind of pictures I was interested in. What is your favourite photo? Does it have some story behind? At the moment, my favorite picture is likely the one of two children under the altar of a church during mass. I walked with a group of mostly Polish pilgrims, walking from Velehrad to Czestochowa, for about two weeks, thinking that I might find some interesting pictures this way. There were a number of children, and they were playing a bit, and all at once, they had this pose similar to the lamentation of Christ, the pieta, as you might see in Christian art. It also was the last frame on the roll of film. After that shot, I needed to change rolls, and the moment was gone. Is there a reason why you are interested in Christian and Pagan traditions? The traditions are just a tool to find the kind of pictures I'm interested in finding. There are other tools, but this is a very helpful one. I'm not necessarily as interested in documenting a specific tradition, but more in finding a specific sort of picture, and then seeing how a group of pictures might work together. So, I might photograph for example, Holy Week in Poland or Spain, and at the same time, photograph a group of people during Vitani Jara, burning Morana, and throwing her into the Odra. Tell us more about your journey to Santiago de Compostela. I've always been a bit of a wanderer or traveler, and have always been interested in pilgrimages in this way. The Camino de Santiago, I've actually walked a number of times, it's just on the last journeys that I brought a camera. Actually, the first time on the Camino, I walked with an American friend, who is a film-maker, and was he was constantly taking pictures, and I took none. When I read something like Canterbury Tales, or the Decameron, or see paintings by Goya, pilgrimages have always been something of a contradiction, this sometimes deep piety and spirituality, mixed with revelry, and the contradiction interested me. Curently, you are working on a project about the Odra river. Is that a topic which is close to your heart? For the Odra, it is some personal connection. My grandmother grew up in Szczecin, at the end of the Odra, and my children were born in Ostrava, near the beginning. The river feels like something that ties something together in myself.

How a New Album is Galvanizing a Social Justice Movement
How much change can one person really accomplish?
Given that forces of darkness in the world have been given a fairly explicit green light, great big megaphones, and multiple platforms from which to broadcast - how effective can a single soul be in casting out those shadows, drowning out the dismal drone, and rallying the righteous?
Cue the individuals. Not one, but many. Let's begin with one: Liz Dunst, chair of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism, sent out a call for new social justice anthems. She didn't say, "I'm going to save the world." Instead, she said, "Here's what I can do." She heard the hope in the singing voices of young people at summer camps, and noticed the songs were decades old. Time for something new, she said, and she put out the call for new, contemporary songs of social justice. What a beautiful world-changing gesture from one person - to inspire others toward inspiring others.
I once wrote a song called "Let There Be Light" about how any individual can invoke B'reishit and begin to effect change in the world by simply saying those words. Just as Jews begin their day with prayers like Modeh Ani and Birkot Hashachar, intending to build the day upon a foundation of gratitude, we sing songs like "Let There Be Light" to condition our minds toward creating joy, wonder, and peace in the world. It's brainwashing - the good kind.
With that in mind, I thought, what anthem would I like to have, to brainwash myself (and others!) toward moving through our current environment of ignorance, disinformation, misinformation, and malaise? Well, it would be something I would sing when I'm in the heat of power-struggle battle with my 3-year-old daughter, Laila... or debating with my politically diametrically opposed neighbor... or wrestling with the worst part of myself. My anthem, I decided, would be a mantra, a prayer, a deeply soul-stirring wish, in the form of a question: "Did you put more love in the world today?" Simple, straightforward, and to the point. I'd say it, I'd sing it, I'd repeat it over and over. I'd make it my Kool-Aid.
As luck would have it, I'd already written the song "More Love (Karleigh's Song)" when Liz Dunst's query came. I just hadn't thought of it as an anthem - more of a medicinal song. A friend and fellow congregant, Karla, had commissioned it for her granddaughter Karleigh's bat mitzvah. In learning about Karleigh for the song, I found that she spent her time putting more love in the world, through multiple mitzvah projects, and her gentle and caring way. At 12 years old, she had just lost a best friend to leukemia, and instead of retreating, she redoubled her efforts to be a light, to carry on and spread as much goodness as possible.
Karleigh was and is the inspiration for the song, and I aspire to follow her example. I like to think the song has facilitated healing.
Once Liz put out the call, I began to see "More Love (Karleigh's Song)" in a new light. This medicine song could be an anthem. I'd let the contest selection committee decide - and they did. They heard the potential for a simple question to guide each single soul who hears it toward goodness and light-filled action. A bunch of individuals, all doing the right thing, and judging their actions by whether they put more love in the world? And then singing about it? That's galvanizing - the seeds of a movement, especially when sung along with the other songs on "Together as One," the new album Liz helped create.
What can one person do? I think of Karleigh. I think of Karla. I think of Liz Dunst. I think of each of the songwriters on "Together as One." And I think of you.

Stilling is the act of severing a woman who can channel from the True Source, so that she can no longer channel saidar, though she can sense it. In the Age of Legends, it was called severing.
Most woman who are stilled waste away and die unless they can find another purpose in their life. In the Third Age, it is widely considered impossible to Heal stilling, but Nynaeve al'Meara and Damer Flinn have discovered how to Heal it. Women don't seem to regain their full strength with the One Power unless healed by a man, and vice versa. An Aes Sedai who is stilled loses her ageless look, and may even regain her youth.
Stilling can also happen by accident, by drawing too much saidar or experimenting with unknown ter'angreal. In such cases it is usually known as burning out.

Injury occurred night before team's first game of the season
During a football practice on Thursday, Aug. 15, a Grand County High School Red Devils player was injured during play and taken off the field in an ambulance.
According to public posts on Facebook, the injured player was Jayminn Hester, but high school staff could not verify the player's identity due to federal regulations regarding the privacy of personal health information.
School district staff said that the player suffered a bruised spinal cord but were unsure whether he was still hospitalized as of Friday morning and whether he would be available to play in the team's first game of the season later that day.
The Red Devils face off at home against the Morgan High School Trojans at 7:00 p.m.

Where is your house number?
Years ago when I first joined the fire department in Thomaston, responding to a fire call at someone's home was a bit of a mystery. The calls were dispatched by a dispatcher in our station and the call would be broadcast something like "Chimney fire at Robinson's."
Ginny Robinson patiently explained to me once that there were five separate and distinct lines of Robinsons living within the confines of Thomaston. She tried to explain the lineage of each but the second cousins that married each other and where they lived had me totally confused.
What I learned over time is that when you arrived at the station, you could always ask the dispatcher which Robinson had a chimney fire but rather than a street address, the question was answered with a first name. That might lead to the next most logical question of where do they live? That question could have a response of something like "On the Meadow Road" and on it would go.
If you have ever been at a volunteer fire department station when a call for a true emergency comes in, it is always a miracle that no one gets run over by responders "kinda aiming" their vehicles at an open space and killing the ignition, opening the vehicle's door and running for their gear in less time than it took you to read this. Hollering information back and forth while truck engines were revving up produced a cacophony of noise. Drivers were being urged to either Go — Go — Go; or Wait a second – Wait a second — Wait a second, with each phrase hollered at a higher decibel level than the previous as the second or third firefighter was pulled onto the tail board.
I was never on the first-out truck, which was a 1954 Chevy that had a front-mounted Darley pump plumbed to a 500-gallon Monel water tank on the back. An extra wide tail board accommodated as many as three firefighters. The tank was re-filled quickest after a fire by putting the station hose down the tank fill pipe that was located behind the driver's side of the truck. It stuck out above the tank by about a foot and could probably hold an extra two gallons of water. I soon found out how this little bit of water would get me to a fire scene.
If I ended up driving the second or third truck out, what I soon learned was to watch for fresh water spills at road intersections. Following these spills, I usually could end up where we were called with but few exceptions. But those are other stories. The captain of the new Bangor fireboat could share one or two with me on that front.
So what has all of the above got to do with house numbers? Today, when you have an emergency, 911 is called without hesitation. I'm glad I don't have to work at Knox Communications Center. As both Bob and Tony would tell you, I would be telling some of the callers where the bears were and how deep the do-do was. I give the utmost credit to the dispatchers who work there for being able to handle the array of calls that they do without going off the deep end.
So they get a call from a land line, which is the old black telephone line that drops from the utility pole nearest your home, through the woodwork in the home, to the reliable old Ma Bell handset located most always in a convenient spot. The minute that connection is made, Knox Dispatch knows where the call is coming from and if I have heard correctly, a map showing the location of the call pops up in front of the dispatcher at the same time. Now for readers who no longer have a land line, but who call 911 on their cell phone, may technology continue to be your friend. Your cell phone call is routed to the nearest call center designated to accept cell phone calls. From here certain information is gleaned by the dispatcher and the call is then forwarded to the department having jurisdiction over what is needed in that call. I have circumvented all this switching by putting the Knox Regional Communication Center phone number in my contact list for when I have to see a police officer about what some crazy has done in the Village Cemetery. It might behoove you to do the same.
Anyway, what about house numbers. I'm almost there. When you are having an emergency and the response team is on the way, they usually have been dispatched to the street or road number that appears on the screen when the call is answered. So the response team is looking for your house number whether it be day or night, snowing, hailing or raining or responding as mutual aid from another town.
If you even have numbers on your house, will they pass the following test:
Are they visible from the road? Or are you the kind of person who puts gold-colored numbers on a house that is painted white or tucks them up underneath a porch roof so that they are only visible to someone standing in front of them or put them on one corner or another? Don't you answer these questions, you put the numbers up so you know where to look. Get a neighbor to see if they can see them from the road. Offer to see if you can see their numbers.
Can they be seen at night? There are houses around that have what the parents call the front porch light. This light is usually turned on when you are expecting someone to call. When the light is on, does it shine upon your house numbers. If you don't have a front light illuminating your house numbers, get the new reflective numbers and get the largest size you can buy. Three-inch-tall numbers have been the standard but taller sizes are available. Buy two sets. Put one set on the front door in a place where a person in a passing vehicle has the best chance of seeing them. If you have an outside light, wait until dark, put the outside light on and put the numbers where the light will shine on them. Put the other set on the side of the corner of the house, again at head height, of the side facing where most emergency vehicles will come from.
If you have numbers on your mailbox, will they pass the following test: Are they on both sides of the mailbox? Help could be coming from either direction not just the way the rural route carrier drives. Are the numbers visible from a telephone pole away from the box? If not, get bigger numbers for both sides of the mailbox. Are the numbers easy to read? Light-colored surfaces should have dark-colored numbers and visa versa. Does your roadside mailbox get covered with snow during storms? If so, think about putting a separate number sign above and behind the roadside mailbox, parallel to the road, using reflective letters and the sign could even have a roof over it to keep the snow off the numbers.
Emergency responders to your call are hampered by lack of numbers or numbers that are hard to see even if they can be located. Use contrasting colored numbers large enough to be seen from the road in all conditions. If you do not know your street number, call your town office and ask for the 911 addressing officer.
Remember, emergency response can't get to you if they don't know where you are.

I try to keep an eye open for unusual poetry collections. The latest one to catch my eye is The Sugar Poetry Book: images and insights from a sugar era. The book is a poetic response by the Kittisivian and Nevisian islanders to the history and decline of the sugar industry in a part of the world that has seen so much change over the centuries.
I grew up in rural Norfolk, UK, where the view along the river Yare was dominated by the sugar beat factory at Cantley (for our sugar was beat, which can now be used as a bio-fuel). When my family moved to East Anglia in the 1970s, coypu roamed the river banks near our home. I feel a certain wistfulness when I think that these creatures are no longer there, but I know that they did immeasurable damage to the beautiful but fragile waterways and wildlife habitats of Broadland.

By PAULA HERBART/President – Michigan Education Association
In this fast-paced, information overloaded society, individuals are longing to be heard. Educators are especially eager to share their thoughts, their hopes and their frustrations.
That's why my first order of business as MEA's new president was to embark on a "listening tour" so I could hear from the experts on the front-lines who know best what makes public education work.
Along with Vice President Chandra Madafferi and Secretary-Treasurer Brett Smith, we want to make sure teachers and support staff (the unsung heroes in public schools) have their voices heard. Together we are hearing stories from members, learning why they do what they do, and what support they need to ensure a great public education for every student.
One of their frustrations is the insatiable appetite policymakers have for standardized testing. At a stop in Traverse City, we heard from teachers exasperated by the multiple standardized tests mandated by the state, which have eaten away at carefully planned curriculum. Some tests take several days to complete, while teachers are pressured to teach to the test which consumes many additional instruction days. A common refrain we heard from educators was, "more testing means less teaching."

Sure, the solstice is still a few weeks away. But by all other measures, it's summer in the Mile High City, and that means it's time to duck out of work early so you can while away a glorious evening on a patio. One prime spot for such an activity is Low Country Kitchen; that rooftop at 1575 Boulder Street has been luring patrons since the address held Vita (going back all the way to 2006).
Before the high-rise apartment complex went in across the street, this patio looked out over the downtown Denver skyline. But even with that view gone, it's a pleasant place to spend a few hours, with its dedicated bar and umbrella shade. Low Country has also sweetened the deal considerably during happy hour, which runs weekdays from 5 to 6:30 p.m., Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 2:30 to 5 p.m. During those hours, you should zero in on one particular deal: the $32 buttermilk fried chicken and cava combo.

Of all the wine and food pairings on the planet, few match the harmony of fried poultry and bubbles. Effervescent wine gives a nice, sharp counterbalance to the decadent, oil-crisped skin of the bird, and if you get wine with a little heft and rounder fruit, you also have a complimentary flavor profile to carry the chicken itself. Low Country has long offered its five-piece bucket of bird with a bottle of cava during brunch; now you can get the $32 deal during happy hour, too. The restaurant's chicken is juicy, with a nice crisp casing, and is even better if you ask for it with hot sauce. And the deal goes a long way: We usually split it among four people.
The rest of the deals here also hew to Low Country's southern roots, though none are as much of a pull as that bucket. The deviled eggs are a little unwieldy, perhaps because the eggs are sliced the short way instead of the long and overstuffed with a filling that, despite being underpinned with Abita beer mustard, is just kind of bland. A little more tang or salt would help. And while the pimento cheese makes a nice drinking snack, it, too, doesn't have the addictive punch that you usually get with pimento. Biscuits are a better choice, especially at $3 a pop, but the best is the chicken biscuit enlivened with red-pepper jelly — something you're unlikely to order if you're already springing for a bucket.
Once you guzzle the last of your wine, head straight for the cocktail list, which has plenty of fodder to keep you anchored to your seat. We could drink a pitcher of the Deep South limeade, which is loaded with gin and pepped up with mint and thyme.

Statement of the Board of Directors of the American Boat Racing Association / H1 Unlimited
Following the successful and competitive completion of the 2018 H1 Racing Season, H1 Unlimited (H1) and Detroit Riverfront Events, Inc. (DREI) entered into discussions beginning in December -- regarding the sanctioning of an Unlimited Hydroplane race on the Detroit River during the third week of August 2019. Unfortunately, progress in the negotiations has not been to the level that the H1 Board of Directors had anticipated, and the parties are at a contractual impasse.
H1 believes that the parties cannot come to an agreement that would assure a quality competition in Detroit for this coming season, and as such, H1 will not be sanctioning a race in Detroit in 2019. Further, H1 has determined that it is in the best interest of the sport of Unlimited Hydroplane Racing (including the other Race Sites and the H1 teams) for H1 to focus its financial, competitive and human resources (including its many volunteers) on those races and race sites that remain part of the 2019 H1 Racing Series.
H1 looks forward to the opportunity to expand its racing series into new locations, including a possible return to Detroit during H1s 2020 racing season.
Results 1 to 7 of 7
One city cut from 2019 hydro race schedule
It looks like the H1 Unlimited hydroplane schedule is dropping back down from six to five stops for the 2019 season.
After negotiations that began in December between H1 Unlimited and Detroit Riverfront Events Inc. became contentious and broke down, H1 decided last week to not sanction a race for the 2019 season on the Detroit River.
Detroit's group, I believe, wanted a minimum boat guarantee from H1 for what was supposed to be the APBA Gold Cup, where Detroit has been the traditional home of the event.
That's understandable.
Last season, there were just six boats entered in what is called unlimited hydroplane racing's Super Bowl. In the past four years, that boat count has dropped quickly. It was just 2015 when 12 boats raced in Detroit. But in both 2016 and 2017, the boat count dropped to eight each year.
And in 2017, Detroit tried something different: run two, one-day race events in a weekend, the Gold Cup and the Presidents Cup.
H1 Unlimited wanted full price from Detroit to run the Gold Cup. Neither party has budged.
So H1's board announced last week that the circuit was stepping away from Detroit in 2019, and it hoped to be back on the Detroit River in 2020.
But if that happens, it won't be to race the Gold Cup.
On Wednesday, H1 announced that the Gold Cup will be raced in Madison, Ind., in both 2019 and 2020. The Madison Regatta board of directors agreed to pay the additional sanctioning fees for both years to host the Gold Cup. Race dates this year will be July 4-7.
It will be the first time that the Gold Cup will be raced in Madison since 1980.
Assuming all other contracts get signed, H1 is back to a five-race season: Guntersville, Ala., Madison, the Tri-Cities, Seafair, and San Diego.
The HAPO Columbia Cup will be held here on the Columbia River on July 26-28.

Wow, that is extremely disappointing. The races have been held there for 101 consecutive years, since 1916. The longest, continuously running, hydro race on the Unlimited circuit.
Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

Talking with some of the teams, the biggest issue for boat count in Detroit was the lack of supporting events in the area. The teams travel, many are based on the west coast, from the Midwest Alabama and Indiana races, to the west coast Tri-Cities and Seattle races. Then, with Detroit, they have to come back 2500 miles to Detroit, only to turn around and drive back 2500 miles to San Diego.
They need to have some foresight and work out a schedule where all of the Midwest, and any potential east coast races, are one part of the season and they only have to make the trip across the country one time.
Just the travel costs eat up all of the appearance money when the distances are so great.
I would assume, taking Detroit out of the equation, the boat numbers will increase this year.
Now we have to hope like heck for good weather, no flooding at all, in Madison.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
Detroit River loses Gold Cup for 2019; there will still be a race weekend
The Gold Cup, the Indianapolis 500 of unlimited hydroplane boat racing, will not return to the Detroit River in 2019.
Instead, the Gold Cup will be staged in Madison, Indiana, after Detroit race organizers and officials with the H1 Unlimited Hydroplane Racing Series failed to reach an agreement this month.
Detroit organizers wanted a commitment for a minimum number of boats, and the H1 officials couldn't agree to that.
"So we finally just reached an impasse," said Bruce Madej, who works with Detroit race officials. "We believe that it was not the type of show that we wanted to put on. We want to make sure that we had a number of boats and competitive boats, and put on a show that would be good for our fans and our sponsor.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't get the type of answer that we needed."
Since 1980, Detroit has hosted the Gold Cup race 30 times, including every year from 1990 through 2014, and most recently in 2018.
The last time the Gold Cup wasn't in Detroit was 2015.
The running of the Gold Cup dates to 1904.
Mark Weber, president of Detroit Riverfront Events, wasn't available for comment Friday.
Detroit Riverfront Events Inc. still is planning on having boat racing this summer, with the dates scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 24, and Sunday, Aug. 25.
There will be varying classes of boats and at least double-digit competitors, Madej said. Only six boats competed in the Gold Cup last summer, with only four finishing the final heat. Andrew Tate, of Walled Lake, won the 2018 Gold Cup.
Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing between race organizers and Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers to continue its sponsorship, which it has held the last two years.
There will be a benefit for fans of boat racing, as ticket prices will decrease, Madej said. Also, action will be condensed to about 3 1/2 hours of racing per day. It's not yet been determined what competitors will be racing for; in previous years without the Gold Cup, they have raced for the Spirit of Detroit Trophy and Silver Cup.
Hydroplane racing on the Detroit River dates to the early 1900s.
"We want to keep the tradition of boat racing alive in 2019," he said. "We are planning on putting on a show."
H1 Unlimited hasn't yet released its entire schedule for 2019. In 2018, it held races in Detroit, Alabama, Indiana, California and Washington (two races).
Don't worry Detroit Fans you are in for a real treat
Yes, it's true there will still be boat racing in Detroit this summer and in our opinion, Detroit fans are in for a real treat. We fully understand that change is never easy and the loss of H1 boats will in many ways signal the end of powerboat racing in Detroit. Fret not, the folks at HRL are highly professional and will not disappoint. The video clip below should put everyone's mind at ease.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2018) is thinner, lighter and more comfortable to use.
It offers familiar design but is now also waterproof.
It lacks Audible support but can last for weeks on a single charge.
In technology, if there is one gadget that has stayed constant over a long period of time, then it has to be the Amazon Kindle. The Kindle, which celebrated a decade of being a thing recently, has been a constant, and has largely remained the same in form and function as well. Whether you take the first generation device with the keyboard or a modern metallic Oasis, they do one thing: read a digital book as if you were reading a physical one. And while the changes are small, they are making small but meaningful improvements to the concept.

If you look at consumer electronics over the past decade then they have all become multi-functional devices. Take the example of the iPhone; it started as an iPod that can also be used to make calls. Now, it is basically a computer on your palm; one that can beat your classic computer in terms of performance. Portable speakers now come equipped with digital assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. The reform has happened even in the case of a USB drive which can now connect wirelessly to your devices. But the Kindle has stayed the same – a single function device that is largely the same as it was a decade ago.

In 2013, I bought the Kindle Paperwhite as an impulse purchase and not because I needed it. Almost five years later, I still don t see why that device needs an update but Amazon definitely sees an opportunity to improve on the successful device. The Kindle lineup now includes three devices – a standard Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis. Consider it as equivalents of Mercedes C-class, E-class and S-class. They all drive the same , but with different powertrains under them and a few more bells and whistles as you go up the range.
All Kindles let you read books but do so little bit differently. Last month, Amazon launched the fourth generation Kindle Paperwhite in India and I have been reading on it for a good few weeks now. Here are my thoughts on whether it is the best Kindle yet and should you upgrade if you already have a Kindle.
Design and Display
With the new Kindle Paperwhite, Amazon has focused entirely on enriching the user experience and hence, the device looks exactly the same as its predecessor. It is clad in a soft plastic casing, which allows for a comfortable grip whether you are reading for few minutes or several hours. Yes, it lacks the premium metal build and angular curves of the Oasis, but the Paperwhite stands apart with its mid-tier price and overall finish.
In fact, this year the new Paperwhite feels a bit lighter than its predecessor but the overall distribution of weight is so even that the device feels the same whether you hold at the bottom side or midway. The back of the device is matte black and thus it is prone to catching fingerprints and if you have oily hands then it is recommended that you put a case right away.
One major design change this year is that the Paperwhite is water resistant like its premium sibling, the Kindle Oasis. The Paperwhite is the best-selling product in the Kindle lineup and if you are someone who reads while in the pool or on a beach vacation then you need not worry about spilling liquids on it or dropping it in water. The new Kindle Paperwhite will survive such scenarios with water resistance rated for submerging up to two meters deep for up to 60 minutes.
Like all the previous Kindle Paperwhite devices, there is a power button and micro-USB port at the bottom. In contrast to rest of the design, the power button has a darker finish, which is a neat distinction from older models, which had a matte black power button. All the other three edges of the Paperwhite (2018) are clear of buttons and allow for a firm grip. The display, which is still a 6-inch E-Ink affair, now sits flush to the glass on top of it. It is rather difficult to distinguish the glass from the E-Ink panel, which Amazon says will eliminate reflection and allow for a reading experience similar to what you get from a physical book.
When you compare this display next to a previous Kindle Paperwhite, you notice the difference almost immediately. It feels as if text pops a bit more than it does on older models. The display has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch and is also much brighter than its predecessor. With the 2018 model of the Kindle Paperwhite, Amazon has packed five LEDs as opposed to four on the previous model.
When you increase the brightness all the way to 24 – the maximum possible level – you can see the difference. As someone coming from the second generation Kindle Paperwhite, I did not see any need for additional LEDs but after using the new Paperwhite for over a month now, I must say that it is a solid addition. One last change comes in the form of accessibility where Amazon has added an option to invert colors.
A typical page on the Kindle is represented by a white background with black text. On the new Kindle Paperwhite, you can enable a mode with black text on a black background. It is a kind of night mode that seems appealing at first but I only grew to dislike it over time. For me, the standard mode works best, whether it's day or night.
How does the Kindle Paperwhite (2018) perform?
An Amazon Kindle is the kind of device where even a major specification bump will not be immediately perceived. WIth the 2018 iteration of Paperwhite, Amazon has tweaked few elements under the hood that don t necessarily make it faster but eliminate some of the issues seen on its predecessor. For instance, the base model of Kindle Paperwhite now ships with a minimum of 8GB of internal storage.
This is double of what Amazon offered on the older model and if you are someone who reads a lot of anime or books with lots of photos then you can get the version with 32GB of storage. Amazon says you can store thousands of books and honestly, I don't even have that many e-books to test that claim.
Amazon says the new Kindle Paperwhite comes with same amount of low-power RAM as its predecessor but the processor has been updated. However, I did not seen any visible improvements when it comes to loading a book or flipping pages. The new Kindle works just like any other Kindle before it. However, there are areas where the Kindle Paperwhite stutters and it can be frustrating at times. If you leave the Kindle unattended for a long time then it will take good few seconds to wake. If you are someone who has been reading on the Kindle app on an iPad then this is rather slow since the tablet version starts instantaneously.
The new Kindle Paperwhite seems fast when it comes to turning pages but the sluggishness becomes apparent when you start typing on it. The very first step which involves signing into your Amazon account by typing in your credentials can seem slow. Web browsing on the Silk browser is something that should be ruled out altogether; use your smartphone for that instead.
Soon before we published this review, Amazon pushed out a software update that significantly enhances the user experience. The home page is now scrollable, which means you can see more recommendations or bestsellers in prime reading without going to the Kindle Store. When inside a page, tapping on top of the book shows a redesigned toolbar and from the new Page Display drop-down menu, you can even set a custom theme. You can create five such themes but the process of creating themes isn't too easy.
Amazon claims the new Paperwhite, despite being thinner and lighter, can last six weeks on single charge. While there is no definite way to put this to test since we all read differently, I can say that if you read for an hour everyday at maximum brightness then the Paperwhite should last for at least four weeks on a single charge. The battery drops faster on the 3G/4G version with an active data connection, but you can always enable airplane mode to conserve battery. In terms of real-life usage, I think the new Kindle Paperwhite delivers the same battery life as its predecessor.
Watch: Huawei Mate 20 Pro First Look
Should you buy?
As I wrote before, the new Kindle Paperwhite, like every Kindle before it, does the job of making e-books readable better than any other e-reader on the market. It does not quite match the Kindle Oasis, which not only has the largest and brightest display but also has an ambient light sensor for auto-brightness, a premium metal back and button for flipping pages. However, its compact form factor with comfortable grip, affordable price (starts at Rs 12,999) and waterproof design this time around makes it an easy recommendation.
If you are in the market for a new Kindle then this new Paperwhite should be your default choice. However, if you have an older Paperwhite then the only reason to upgrade would be if you need the waterproof design. Amazon says it always finds a way to improve and so, I won t go as far as to call it perfect. However, a faster typing experience and support for Audible in India could definitely make it the Kindle to buy, assuming Amazon is able to push out improvements on those lines.

Wow... with weather like this, I am heading to Paris...on my motorcycle of course! 26 deg. C and no clouds AGAIN here today... will it ever end? Hard to believe. More yet to come!
As we drove through farm country in Oxford County, we passed these bullrush type of plants, that were brilliant white with tassels on top... however it does not show good in the pictures... it was neat to look at.
We passed by lots of these in the picture above... after all, we are the dairy capital of Canada apparently... One thing for sure, the fall colours were out here in full force... it would be neat to be up in Muskoka right now.
We had the bikes all revved up and ready to go this morning... Paris was on our mind.
We walked the Conservation Trails that run beside the Grand River up to the City of Cambridge. This is a great trail, and thankfully, it had lots of shade, as it was way too hot in the full sun.
We checked out the old rail tressel across the Grand... don't mention it now, but I have blogged about this before...
These fishermen, had more equipment than most fishing boats carry, and they never caught a thing! I asked them... they were honest!
Everywhere we looked we saw colours just like above, on the boardwalk up to the tressel... just an amazing day! Nice to get out on the bikes, and put in a 3 1/2 mile walk!
Till tomorrow...

Sri Lanka Cricket announced that Secretary of Sri Lanka Cricket Mr. Nishantha Ranatunga wrote to Mr. Dave Richardson CEO of ICC, with regard to the mishap that took place at the opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy in England. It has sought a clarification from the ICC on the mishap which took place at the opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy on Thursday.
During the opening ceremony, when the captain of Sri Lanka Cricket team Anjelo Mathews was speaking, the ICC officials played a Hindi song as background music. It also made the same mistake when Sri Lanka's national flag was brought to the ground.
Sri Lanka Cricket in its letter sent to the ICC CEO Dave Richardson also questions as to what steps the world cricketing body will take to rectify this mishap.
Meanwhile Sri Lanka's Buddhist organization Ravana Balaya (Power) wanted the International Cricket Council (ICC) to apologize for playing the Hindi song after the speech by the Sri Lanka Cricket Captain at the inauguration ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy.
