Going all-in on the all-in-one.
Join in us over the next few days as we look at all of the leading games consoles and platforms out right now and try to convince you why you should spend your hard-earned cash. Today we're looking at the Xbox One, with Peter Brown taking the lead on why you need the system in 2015.
If you don't own an Xbox One, now's the time to pick one up. It didn't get off to the best start when it launched back in 2013, but if you're only looking at the past, you're missing what's ahead, and there's a lot to look forward to. Microsoft was on top of the world after the holiday season, having sold more consoles than Sony or Nintendo during the months of November and December. To kick off 2015, head of Microsoft's Xbox division and Microsoft Studios, Phil Spencer, recently presented an exciting look into the future of Xbox One, including how it will work with Microsoft's upcoming OS, Windows 10. Oh yeah, he also wore a Battletoads shirt, a not-so-small detail that may be a good sign that Rare, the Microsoft-owned studio with a sterling reputation for making great games, may finally be let off the Kinect leash and get back to doing what it does best. That's all speculation at this point, but what we do know is that in 2015, Xbox One owners will get the chance to play some very enticing exclusives and hopefully get an early taste of what happens when you bridge the gap between console and PC.
Exciting Big-Budget Exclusives
What better reason is there to choose a game console other than for its library of games? Microsoft's stable of AAA console exclusives got off to a great start in 2014 with Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive, but there's a lot of great games coming down the pipe, including Halo 5: Guardians from 343 Studios. Some people already got a taste of what's in store, with more than 20 million matches played during a recent, three week beta test. Of couse, there's more than just Halo; Microsoft and its partners are planning to resurrect a bunch of series in 2015 that found success on Xbox 360, including Fable, Crackdown, and Epic Games' Gears of War, the series that rivals Halo as the most iconic Xbox exclusive.
There's also a handful of third party blockbusters that are either exclusive to Xbox One or landing there first, including Rise of the Tomb Raider, the highly anticipated follow-up to the 2013 reboot, which is supposed to bring the "Tomb" back to Tomb Raider in a major way. Quantum Break is also on the way from Sam Lake and Remedy Entertainment (of Max Payne fame). Quantum Break will play along with digital, episodic show, and the way you play the game, which features time manipulations as one of its primary themes, will impact the outcome of the show.
You can't talk about exciting Xbox One exclusives without mentioning Scalebound from Platinum Games, the team responsible for the great Bayonetta 2, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and The Wonderful 101. Most of what we know about Scalebound at the moment is that you and a dragon companion fight side by side in the wilderness against massive monsters. We also know that Platinum makes excellent action games. The combination of Platinum's design prowess and dragons sounds too good to pass up, so don't be surprised if Scalebound ends up being a system seller for some people.
Mesmerizing Indie Exclusives
While big studios are plugging away, there are also a handful of indie teams making games for Xbox One, including Capybara Games, creators of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP and Super Time Force. The Toronto based team is prepping Below, a roguelike that embodies a strong sense of solitude and dread. The pulled back camera drives home the notion that you're small in the grand scheme of things, and Capybara Games has employed a foreboding palette and visual style that's worthy of what looks to be a difficult and downtrodden adventure. Who said games have to be cheery, anyway? We all need a little punishment, sometimes.
Xbox One owners will also be the first people who get the chance to play Moon Studios' Ori and the Blind Forest. It's got a fantastical atmosphere and whimsical characters that set the scene for one of the most promising platforming adventures to come along in a while, which channels classics such as Super Metroid, where skill progression determines where you can go and what you can do. It's proven to be a great experience in early demos, and may be the surprise indie hit of 2015 when it hits Xbox Live on March 11.
One of the smartest moves that Microsoft made in 2014 was to offer a version of Xbox One without Kinect. It's not that Kinect doesn't have merits, but it drives the cost of the console up significantly. Making Kinect optional was step one to lowering the cost of an Xbox One, down to about $400. What's step two? Knocking off 1/8th of that price for a limited time, bringing the asking price down to $350 in North America. This helped Microsoft sell a lot of consoles during the holiday season, and while the offer ended shortly after the new year, Microsoft reinstated it a few weeks ago, making Xbox One the runner-up for cheapest current-gen console after Nintendo's Wii U. Meanwhile, PlayStation 4 still costs $400. There's no time limit set for the current Xbox One promotion, and given that Microsoft brought it back so soon after the first limited-time offer, don't be surprised if the current $350 asking price sticks around.
Cross platform multiplayer
Consoles don't necessarily compete with gaming PCs in the same way they do with one another, and given that Microsoft's Windows is the backbone of PC gaming, we're thankful to see that Microsoft is finally looking for ways to unite the two platforms. Starting with Fable Legends, Xbox One and Windows players will be able to join forces and play together, something that Microsoft will offer on future titles on a game by game basis. Cross platform multiplayer isn't a new concept, but it's a rare feature, and something Microsoft is poised to take advantage of moving forward given its position in both the console and PC space.
PC Streaming with Windows 10
With the arrival of Windows 10, Xbox One owners will be able to stream their console games to their PC. While this isn't as exciting as total cross-compatibility between PC and Xbox One, it's nothing to shake a stick at. Microsoft hasn't had an answer for Sony's Remote Play feature until now, and though you won't be able to stream outside of your home's local network, you will be able to free up your TV when it's in high demand without giving up your ability to use your Xbox One in the process.
Microsoft's Super Secret Xbox Team
Based on a job listing, Microsoft is recruiting for a team that will work in secret on experimental projects, many of which will fail, but some of which may redefine the future of entertainment. Bold claims, but if anything amazing comes from this team, you can be sure Xbox One owners will reap the benefits. Here are a few excerpts from the job listing:
"A new team has formed in Microsoft's Xbox division with a specific purpose: to push the envelope of today's and tomorrow's technology as we explore new ideas from the ground floor. It begins with veterans from Xbox 360, Xbox LIVE, and Kinect. But we're growing as quickly as our imaginations can be translated into code."
"Most of what we work on is top-secret; you may not know what your new project is until you've accepted an offer. Not all of our ideas will fly. We will fail, and fail fast, on some projects. We will celebrate those failures because they are vital to making sure the right ideas take off in a big way."
"If you're passionate about the potential for Kinect to continue to revolutionize entertainment and are a seasoned software engineer with the skills to prototype and build the future of premium Kinect-powered experiences, we have a growing team of talented people who want to take entertainment into the future."
With Xbox One's cheaper price tag, a bounty of exciting games on the horizon, and the promise of interoperability with Windows 10, there's never been a better time to join the Xbox One party.

2018 Fringe Review: Guenevere
This moving verse play offers Guenevere's perspective on Arthur's demise
Lucky Wench Productions' production of Guenevere is a moving piece which leads the audience through the last days of King Arthur through the eyes of queen-turned-nun Guenevere.
One can interpret playwright John Richardson's imagery both literally and symbolically. This could best be seen in the "black bird" that some characters say is coming towards Camelot. Literally, black birds commonly fly throughout the British Isles. Yet symbolically, black birds are harbingers of death and icons of England's royal families; thus, in Guenevere, the black bird could represent the Saxons coming to destroy Camelot.
The plot of the play is interesting, as many Arthurian myths don't say what Guenevere would have gone through while Arthur and his remaining knights were out fighting. This absence of source material allows the plot to go in different ways than one may expect, keeping it fresh and nonrepetitive.
Guenevere's sound design was one of its strongest elements, setting the tone with ambient soundscapes (such as clashing swords which underpinned the final battle scene, and a thunder strike as Arthur left Guenevere behind in a nunnery) while not being overbearing. This excellent sound design paired with stimulating visual effects to create an immersive atmosphere.
The nine-person cast uses the minimalist set with ease, immersing the audience in the action. Eric Smith's obviously directed with a careful hand, as there were moments where if the audience wasn't watching carefully, they would miss something that could be foreshadowing something later on.
Guenevere is a superb play with surprises, somber tones, and some slight comedy mixed in if you know where to look.

New Vessel Guiding Star H360
New Fishing Vessel Guiding Star H360 delivered for P&J Johnstone Peterhead with complete Woodsons wheelhouse package.
more »
Woodsons engineers recently completed the installation and commissioning of a Seatel C Band global VSAT communications antenna on board the fishing vessel Hannover in Panama.
Hannover, a large factory freezer trawler, is currently fishing for Jack Mackerel in the South Eastern Pacific off the coast of Chile. Operating in such remote locations requires reliable, secure communications. The VSAT system provides them with this with an 'always on unlimited use' data service and low cost voice with crewcalling.
C-Band VSAT antenna is lifted from dockside
Hannover with VSAT antenna in place
Operating a factory ship requires constant contact with office and the land based supply chain as she remains fishing at sea for up to 8 months at a time. With supplies being delivered at sea and fish transported back to market there is no room for communications failure.
VSAT systems are now installed on a range of commercial, Oil and Gas and fishing vessels operating globally and has proven its reliability and quality of service in the harshest conditions in the world.
A word of thanks to Woodsons for a great year of hassle-free internet service. The feedback from my colleagues has been excellent and it is truly a service we could not contemplate being without at this stage. Keep up the good work!

Health Disparities in Appalachia, a new report issued Thursday by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, documents dramatic disparities in health outcomes and other health-related factors in the Appalachian Region when compared with the nation as a whole, as well as substantial variations in health throughout the Region's 420-county footprint.
The study reviews 41 population and public health indicators to provide a comprehensive overview of the health of the 25 million people living in the Appalachian Region, which spans 13 states from northern Mississippi to New York's Southern Tier.
Key findings include:
• Mortality due to poisoning-which includes drug overdoses-is markedly higher in the Region than in the nation as a whole, especially in the Region's rural and economically distressed areas.
• The Appalachian Region has lower supplies of health care professionals per 100,000 population when compared to the nation as a whole. These include primary care physicians, mental health providers, specialty physicians, and dentists. The supply of specialty physicians per 100,000 population is 65 percent lower in Central Appalachia than in the nation as a whole.
• Obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity-risk factors for a number of health issues-are all more prevalent in Appalachia than in the nation overall. Nearly 25 percent of adults in Appalachia's economically distressed counties are smokers, as compared with just over 16.3 percent of adults in the nation as a whole.
• In several measures, including incidence of chlamydia, prevalence of HIV, student-teacher ratio, diabetes monitoring among Medicare patients, and the social association rate, Appalachia is doing better than the nation as a whole.
"This report begins to identify key health challenges confronting Appalachia," said ARC Federal Co-Chair Earl F. Gohl. "Now we need to understand the implications these findings have for Appalachia's economy so we can continue working towards a brighter future for the Region."
The report also examines 20-year trends for selected indicators. While the Region and the country have made improvements on many health measures, the improvements made by the nation overall frequently outpace those made by the Region, resulting in widening disparities. For instance:
• During the 1989-1995 period, the infant mortality rate in Appalachia was only 4 percent higher than the rate in the United States overall, but by 2008-2014, the rate in the Region was 16 percent higher than the national rate.
• In 1995, the household poverty rate in Appalachia was only 0.6 percentage points higher than the rate in the United States overall. By 2014, the poverty rate in the Region was 1.6 percentage points higher than the national rate.
"These data bring attention to the growing health gap between Appalachia and the rest of the country," said Hilary Heishman, senior program officer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "The U.S. can't be healthy as a whole if we are leaving whole regions behind. Both taking on the challenges and building on the assets that counties in Appalachia have will be essential to building a Culture of Health."
Health Disparities in Appalachia is part of Creating a Culture of Health in Appalachia: Disparities and Bright Spots, a multi-part health research project conducted by ARC in partnership with the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The research team was led by PDA, Inc., of Raleigh, North Carolina, in collaboration with the University of North Carolina's Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research and Wake Forest School of Medicine. View the full report.
Data sets used in this report included county-level data compiled from numerous sources, such as: County Health Rankings and Roadmaps; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Area Health Resource Files; and the American Community Survey. The data sets are available here.
"In measure after measure, the Central Appalachian region-including Eastern Kentucky-faces greater health challenges, and gaps are widening at a faster rate, than in the rest of Appalachia and the nation," said Ben Chandler, president and CEO of the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky. "Appalachia's economic livelihood is absolutely dependent on improving these health measures. The Foundation believes that the single most effective step we can take toward that end is to reduce our high smoking rates."

I was making amendments to my Google Analytics 'stuff' and while doing so, did a few external tests. To my horror I was able to discover that my 'robots.txt' was also viewable making this public via a simple Google search !!!
I kid you not...
So it seems not only are Google helping promote my site, they are offering my site to be abused (assume also yours?), and have provided the route to do so. Clearly I am not willing expose my site any further.
My approch may be old school and uses cloaking as an option come solution. Now if somebody or 3rd party masks themselves as a Googlebot they will fail during the scripts robot validation so will be redirected to the main domain via php. This also ties Google from exposing my robots file..
1) As first step you need to add these lines to your .htaccess file, or if you don't have, create one and upload it to the root domain folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_user_agent} !(googlebot|Msnbot|Slurp) [NC]
RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ http://www.YOURSITE.com/ [R,NE,L]
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .txt
2) Open a text editor or your favourite web editor application and insert the code below into a new file save as reversedns.php and upload it to your root folder.
$ua = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if(stristr($ua, 'msnbot') || stristr($ua, 'Googlebot') || stristr($ua, 'Yahoo Slurp')){
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($ip);
if(!preg_match("/\.googlebot\.com$/", $hostname) &&!preg_match("/search\.live\.com$/", $hostname) &&!preg_match("/crawl\.yahoo\.net$/", $hostname)) {
$block = TRUE;
header ("Location: $URL");
} else {
$real_ip = gethostbyname($hostname);
if($ip!= $real_ip){
$block = TRUE;
header ("Location: $URL");
} else {
$block = FALSE;
3) And as the last step to to open the robots.txt file you would like to protect and insert the code below to the first line.
<?php include("reversedns.php"); ?>
I shall monitor the result of this change and feed back. If however, YOU have an alternative version that may also acheave what I'm trying here; Do share...

Only one problem with that in that it will limit it's masking to anyone spoofing specific spiders but still a good way to block any attemps to circumnavigate access you might have allowed for spider bots from google, etc... to access limited content/product info.

BENTONVILLE (KFSM) – Yahoo named Bentonville one of the 10 "newest hipster neighborhoods" on Wednesday (June 24).
" From California to Washington, D.C., we rounded up emerging neighborhoods (and some cities) that are destined to become America's hottest new destinations," the article states.
Bentonville was the second city on the list. Yahoo cited the opening of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the 21C Museum Hotel and the first Bentonville Film Festival being held there this year as reasons it placed the city on its list.
Other neighborhoods/cities named included Bend, Ore., the Old Fourth Ward in Atlanta and more.

This week I'm focusing on exercise. Admittingly, I was thinking about humans, and then this article popped up and I thought it'd be a great one to share.
I see a lot of people out walking or running with their dogs regardless of weather or time of day. Sometimes I feel really sorry for the dog, because it looks like it could drop.
That's why I'm posting this article. You might be the kind of person that heat doesn't bother, but that doesn't mean your dog feels the same way.
This article gives you tips on how to know if you're pushing your dog too far, along with how much exercise your breed needs! It's a great read! Hope you enjoy it.
Exercise and the small dog
Just like you, your small dog needs exercise to stay healthy and happy. Small dogs are defined as those that weigh less than 22 pounds and who are shorter than 16 inches. "Exercise helps to keep your pet physically fit, mentally secure, socially ...

A Short History of Sociological Thought by Alan Swingewood
By Alan Swingewood
This lucidly written, jargon-free textual content deals an account of the increase of sociological concept from its origins within the eighteenth century. starting with the classical sociology of Marx, Durkheim, Weber and Simmel, it is going directly to study the trendy paradigms of functionalism, interactionism, structuralism and significant Marxism, and ends by way of discussing salient modern sociological thought, together with the theories of Foucault, Baudrillard, Giddens, Habermas and others. Systematic and entire, this can be a textual content that seriously engages with sociological conception all through its improvement, supplying scholars a direction via competing traditions and views that brings out the targeted worth and obstacles of those.

Freeloading: How Our Insatiable Appetite for Free Content Starves Creativity
Net PIRACY: a conflict that pits indies opposed to businesses, unfastened spirits opposed to the money-grubbing Scrooge McDucks of the area. Right?
Sort of. occasionally. probably not.
Internet piracy is going through many names — copyright infringement, dossier sharing, peer-to-peer lending — yet during this vigorous narrative nonfiction account, writer Chris Ruen argues that the perform of utilizing unlicensed electronic content material may be referred to as what it's: freeloading.
In this complete research, Ruen examines the close to pervasive challenge of net piracy, and the ethical and fiscal dilemmas to which it supplies upward push. The phenomenon, which at the present time impacts virtually each person who faucets a keyboard, is growing not going alliances — among artists and firms, and among shoppers and expertise geeks within the hacker culture — and it really is altering how society perspectives and values inventive production.
Ruen, himself a former freeloader, got here to appreciate how unlawful downloads can threaten the creative neighborhood after he hung out with profitable Brooklyn bands who had but to make a true benefit from their song. via unique examine and vast interviews with musicians and artists, Freeloading dissects this conflict. This provocative account can also be a reminder of the truism that for each motion there are outcomes — a choice to embody sensible, good suggestions that safeguard artists and shoppers alike.

His collectivist notion of society was broadly socialist and materialist; but on the other hand, Saint-Simon's analysis of technology and the role of science and intellectual elites mostly composed of scientists and industrialists- combined with his theory of moral crisis suggests a conservative standpoint close to the sociological positivism of Comte. In a very general sense Saint-Simon can be claimed as an influence on both nineteenth-century sociology and the development of socialism and Marxism.
For Ferguson, society was conceived as a definite structure in which the relation of part to whole constituted the 'principal object' of social science. Like Montesquieu, the writers of the Scottish Enlightenment emphasised the structural nature of social phenomena rejecting the view of society as the product of a haphazard and accidental process. In their notion of the unintended consequences of social action Ferguson and Smith went beyond the static limitations ofMontesquieu's synchronic, systemic definition of society to embrace a concept of society as both structure and process.
Can proceed from a deep sense of the connection of all kinds of natural phenomena with invariable natural laws. If there are political evils which ... cannot be remedied by science, science at least proves to us that they are 42 Industrialisation and the Rise qf Sociological Positivism incurable, so as to calm our restlessness under pain by the conviction that it is by natural laws that they are rendered insurmountable (Comte, 1896, Vol. 2, pp. 18~7). On this definition, therefore, sociology prescribes a wholly passive and fatalistic orientation to the social world and contrasts sharply with Vico's injunction that the social world was the work of humanity.

Brrrrr- New Year's Eve / The year ahead?
Wednesday, Decembrrrrrrrrr 31st, 2008.
Last night on Coast to Coast AM, Art was in for George, taking his first of two nights' predictions for 2009.
I got an extremely vivid flash of a lake in brillian sunlight, and 'knew' the lake was something new in the U.S., west of the Mississippi River, uh- somewhere between St Louis and Yakima? That's all the look ahead I got so far.
Oh- funny thing- Jassper the dog (One and a half year old 'puppy horse' black Lab) was barking his head off yesterday evening, watching something on the ceiling.
Both Cathi and I saw lights on the ceiling- she didn't know whether they were odd reflections from something or what??? I thought they were fuzzy orbs of some kind, giving off neat colours as they zoomed around the living room ceiling.
After verbally broadcasting our intention to allow only positive energies, entities and influences come anywhere near us, I tried meditating. I didn't get any conscious communications or anything.
But Cathi and I had a spectacular night.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health officials said on Wednesday they had warned seven pharmacies selling "bio-identical" hormones over the Internet that they were breaking the law with false and misleading claims about the benefits for menopausal women.
The Food and Drug Administration sent letters ordering the pharmacies to stop claiming their hormones were better than approved menopause therapies and could prevent and treat serious conditions such as Alzheimer's, strokes and cancer.
FDA officials said there was no reliable scientific evidence to support the assertions.
"Claims like these mislead consumers and health-care providers with inaccurate information," said Deborah Autor, director of compliance in the FDA's drugs center.
Interest in the products grew after a 2002 finding that FDA-approved hormone products raised the risk of heart disease, blood clots and certain cancers.
Drugmaker Wyeth, which sells FDA-approved hormone replacement therapy, had petitioned the agency to take action against makers of bio-identical hormones.
FDA officials said there was no evidence the bio-identical hormones were any safer than approved versions of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. The alternative versions are made in so-called compounding pharmacies that are allowed to produce custom-made medicines for patients with a doctor's prescription.
The agency said some products contained the unapproved hormone estriol and it was prepared to take action to halt sales of those products.
The pharmacies warned by the FDA were: Panorama Compounding Pharmacy, Saint John's Medical Plaza Pharmacy, Murray Avenue Apothecary, Pharmacy Compounding Specialties, Reed's Compounding Pharmacy and Pacifica Pharmacy.
Other pharmacies also sell bio-identical hormones, but FDA officials said they could not say how many.
The FDA objected to the term "bio-identical," saying it wrongly implied the hormones are natural or the same as ones made by the body, and therefore safer. Companies say the compounded hormones are derived from plants such as soy and yams.
The agency said it did not want to discourage legitimate compounding in the absence of unsupported claims. Officials advised women to talk with a doctor to determine if compounded drugs are their best option.
Compounded drugs are not reviewed by the FDA for safety and effectiveness, and the agency said it encouraged patients to use agency-approved medicines whenever possible.
The International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists said the FDA action would deny many women access to products that may help them when approved therapies do not or cause side effects.
"Thousands of doctors are making patient-by-patient decisions that compounded hormones are medically appropriate ... This is a decision that should be left to doctors," L.D. King, executive director of the pharmacists' group, said in a statement.
"We intend to fight this," King added in an interview.
Phil Pylant, owner of Village Compounding Pharmacy, said his company simply followed doctors' instructions when providing the hormones and did not make any health claims. He said the company would comply with legal obligations.
"We don't break the law here," he said.
Officials at the other pharmacies could not immediately be reached or referred questions to the compounding pharmacists' group.

NEW ORLEANS -- During the height of the Civil Rights Movement, few people were more active than New Orleanian Jerome Smith.
For someone who has dedicated his life to fighting for the civil rights of others, Jerome Smith remains one of the most unassuming folks around, but make no mistake: He understands the fire inside him and where it originated.
"That New Orleans spirit. We have an independence, man, and that's what I'm trying to get these children to understand," Smith told News with a Twist.
Smith's story is one of several News with a Twist is telling as part of MLK 50, a yearlong commemoration of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Smith was a student at Southern University when he began participating in sit-ins and freedom rides and meeting with national leaders.
He was severely beaten at Parchman Prison in Mississippi, but nothing swayed his resolve.
In the 1960s, Smith had several mentors, but there was one famous black woman in particular who helped him chart his life's work: Fannie Lou Hamer.
"She wanted to see me," Smith recalled. "I go to Ruleville, and she said, 'Everybody talks about you like you're a big ol' man. Look how skinny you are.' I saw these children in Mississippi, and there was something in their eyes, man, and I said, 'This will be my mission when I leave here.'"
The encounter helped to birth the Tambourine and Fan community organization, which to this day helps kids in the 6th and 7th Wards to stay out of trouble and to grow and be empowered in knowing who they are.
He's known in the neighborhood as "Big Duck," because he'a always got a trail of kids following behind him.
"It's about elevation, consciousness, being able to deal with the reverence," Smith said. "Those young kids will never forget that, and nobody in the country is doing that."

Regent Singapore, A Four Season Hotel, is taking hotel dining to a new level. Not only do they have a fantastic space to enjoy a relaxing cocktail on the second floor (Manhattan Bar) and delicious Italian restaurant, Basilico, but also their beautiful Tea Lounge plays host to a weekday afternoon tea which left us full to the brim but wanting for more.
Nestled on the far side of the foyer with soft grand piano music to help you ease away your afternoon, this place has shot to the top of our list of places to impress your friends and family with.
As soon as we sat down at our table, the impeccable service began with an offering of hot and cold drinks. Tea obviously takes centre stage here with the biggest variety of teas from oolong to black, green to fruit, they have something to suit everyone. If it's all a bit too much choice the knowledgable staff will be able to recommend something to you.
However, if you are like us and coffee lovers, they also serve CMCR's 22 Martin as espresso and Ardi Sidama as a pourover. For the latter, they wheel over their impressive brass edged trolley and allow you to enjoy the theatre of filter right at your table.
We also opted to try one of their coffee mocktails called 'Energizer' which has an impressive 60ml of coffee - this really is going to wake you up in the morning. It was deliciously creamy though with a hint of cinnamon, highly recommend but perhaps not last thing at night!
After this, our food was served. The standard set comes with a three tiers sandwiches, pastries and scones along with one of their innovative desserts. You can upgrade to the procecco or champagne sets for $40 or $60 more respectively - depending on what you have planned for the rest of your afternoon!
The first tier contained a unusual selection of open sandwiches, including watercress crepe king crab rolls, smoked salmon on beetroot bread and our favourite wagyu beef on rye with truffle shavings. The second tier contained a tomato and smoked ham tartlet which where demolished in seconds by my friends and I, if we had had room for more at the end would definitely have come back for more of these little gems!
Lastly, the bottom tier had a selection of plain and currant scones with the usual accompaniments of cream, jam and, perhaps slightly unusual, lemon curd. We are scone lovers and do think it is difficult thing to find in Singapore but these ones didn't disintegrate under the pressure of the cream and had a nice taste of bicarb in them.
After all this, I have to say we were feeling pretty full but we knew the best was yet to come or at least it was time for a little bit more theatre! A key feature of the lounge is the live dessert station where if you feel inclined, you can leave your table and watch these magical creations come together. As their where four of us, we got one of each of the desserts on offer, The Chocolate Forest, The Golden Apple, Coco-Melon Symphony and Raspberry Souffle.
The most popular, and hence most instagramed(!), dish has to be the golden apple. It has an immediate wow factor with a bright green toffee crust which itches to be broken. Once inside, it reveals its yuzu apple compote, yogurt foam, nut crumble and vanilla fromage sobert. It is a dish that lives up to it's looks and that is something that can be said for all these desserts, we all thought they were the star of the experience - each had our favourites and vowed to come back so we wouldn't have to share!
The atmosphere and decor of the tea lounge at the Regent Singapore are enough to bring us back for another afternoon session but add to that some delicious food and drinks and we think they've got us hooked. Get a bunch of friends together and head on down and see for yourself.
We wrapped up our afternoon with a refreshing Islay mocktail, of muddled fruits and soda water and of course a quick coffee - it wouldn't be complete without one!

Easily recognisable with their lovely façade, Shop Wonderland (SWL) has finally hit Telok Ayer Street with their glamorous cakes and delicious coffee.
Started back in 2013 at Haji Lane as an extension of the Wonderland Events and Furniture-Hire business, owner Melissa and her team decided to introduce an F&B outlet to this store to create a cohesive experience for their customers.
Loaded and ready to face the crazy crowd of Telok Ayer, the kitchen team has created a delightful menu not only for the sweet toothed amongst us but also a wide range of lunch items. We particularly enjoyed their special Aglio Olio, with clams, garlic, parsley and warming wholegrain mustard, the perfect pairing to a lunch time coffee.
SWL serves up two different blends, Lucky Basterd as their house blend with fruity, stewed berry notes and a nutty chocolaty finish along side 22 Martin for its black coffees which is a much nuttier, richer blend. However, if you're looking for something a little different they also offer Nitro cold brew to cool you down as you take a break from the bustle outside.
Due to its location this is a popular spot with the CBD crowd and as soon as the clock hits twelve the hordes start to gather, however do not be put off although it can get busy the service is spot on and you'll leave full and satisfied in a timely fashion.
That being said, if your aim is to linger a little longer then SWL also offers up a unique array of events and workshops. One such class held in their flower studio is 'Floral Jamming' where the team guide you on creating your own take home bouquet. They also offer corporate workshops on the fundamental techniques of flower arranging, a great way to bond with your posse over a eh..posy?!?
Ultimately, this is a shop that you will fall in love with. Pay them a visit, they don't just satisfy your hungry soul but bring sparkle to your eye and wonder to your heart.

In a world that advances as rapidly as Kuala Lumpur, the growing demand for time challenges our ability to pause and enjoy a well deserved break. When you're maximizing the time between the work and meetings, sometimes all you're given is a preview of lunch before you have to head back into the toil.
It often feels impossible to relax in the minimal time, and renew yourself by enjoying a fine coffee for great value that was not a sachet sitting in your office pantry for a questionable age.
That's where Room 203 comes in. Keeping it true to offering only specialty coffee to go, with or without milk at a fixed price of RM5. This specialty experience won't distract from the fundamental intent of any cup of coffee, a good cup of coffee.
You can find a rotating single origin for Room 203's black coffee offering, currently serving up our seasonal fresh crops of Brazil, Colombia and India.
You might not receive the usual cafe form of service, air-con, lemony water, or even condiments such as sugar is something not to be found in this takeaway concept. However, regardless of this, owner Yeong Wen Tyng strives to give his fullest attention each customer despite being the only person making coffee in this outlet.
"The definition of specialty coffee in our market is blurred, consumers assess specialty by price, not actual quality or overall experience. From the moment I started two years ago, people would tell me daily they love drinking coffee, but couldn't afford it"
"Our role in the industry is to broaden opportunities for coffee drinkers. Introduce availability for consumers, improving our specialty coffee culture by changing perspective. We don't have an appropriate café space, we practice takeaway, and what you pay for is that cup of quality coffee. That's how I see a market can grow." – Yeong Wen Tyng

Arkaik Brings The New
September 28, 2009 | Written by Darren | Category: Clothing Lines
Arkaik just unleashed some new offerings and were kind enough to give us a coupon code. You probably want us to just give that to you. Well we are….right after we talk about the new t-shirts they just dropped.
There are two new tee's that really stick out to me because of the colorways and how they stay completely true to the brand's theme. These designs are ones that you would expect from Arkaik but are still cool enough to feel brand new. The first is the Anubis design on the teal American Apparel. Great colors and a nice collaboration with Survival.
The second is called "Not The Teeth" and is their first ever print on the kelly(?) green American Apparel. It's bright and has a monster eating a skyscraper. What's not to like about that?
So where's this coupon code you ask? You've earned it for reading this far. It's for 20% off and is FML. Use it at checkout when you load up on the new wears.

Diseased screams
Disease creams.
Yelling can be fun. Screaming can be fantastic. Letting it all out in a primal roar, putting your dominance as an animal on display. Good for the soul, you know? Sadly, I don't know proper screaming technique. Trying to push my decibels higher than they go without effort made me mess up my throat real good. So good, it made me sick.
Or, well, it gave me a very sore throat. And coincidentally, at the same time, I started developing symptoms of the common cold. The nasty thing probably found a way in through my weakened airway, seeing an opportunity to strike. Well, strike it did. I'm not sure it's peaked yet.
But a cold won't kill you. Shouldn't, at least. Eventually my body will make it a part of itself. Assimilate.

Cardiac Imaging Trends for Heart Failure Patients in Canada
Study Questions:
What are the temporal trends in the use and costs of cardiac imaging for the examination of patients with heart failure (HF) in Canada?
The study authors conducted a repeated cross-sectional study, using population-based administrative databases in Canada, of individuals with HF identified using a validated algorithm based on hospital admissions and ambulatory physician claims between April 1, 2002, and March 31, 2017. The study authors examined the use of resting and stress echocardiography, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS), and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) (all of which were referred to as traditional modalities). They also examined the use of coronary computed tomography angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) (all of which were referred to as advanced modalities).
The final study cohort was comprised of 882,355 adults (50.1% women; median age, 76 years [interquartile range, 66-83 years]) with prevalent HF. The age- and gender-standardized prevalence of HF remained stable during the study (2.4% [95% CI, 2.4%-2.4%] in 2002 and 2.0% [95% CI, 2.0%-2.0%] in 2016). There was an increase in the rate of use of resting echocardiography, from 386 tests (95% CI, 373-398) per 1,000 patients with HF in 2002, to 533 (95% CI, 519-547) per 1,000 patients in 2011. Coinciding with the initiation of an accreditation program for echocardiography in 2012, there was an immediate reduction in the rate of use (−59.5 tests per 1,000 patients with HF; p < 0.001), which was followed by a plateau in subsequent years. At the same time, there was a 10.8% relative reduction in the use of MPS (95% CI, 66-73) per 1,000 patients with HF and remaining stable thereafter (p = 0 .008), and an 11.2% relative reduction in the use of ICA from 2011 to 2016 (95% CI, 61-68) per 1,000 individuals with HF (p = 0.75), and the incorporation of newer modalities after they became publicly insured health services.
These findings suggest that resting echocardiography remains the most used imaging technique for patients with HF, exceeding the use of and the cost spent on other modalities. Stabilization in the use of traditional imaging modalities coincided temporally with the emergence of advanced techniques and provincewide quality improvement policy initiatives.
This study suggests that traditional modalities will continue to be the bedrock, given that interpretation of these studies is a part of the core training of cardiologists and due to the ease of use. The utilization of imaging resources, however, will continue to evolve as the population ages, with recognition of newer etiologies of HF such as chemotherapy-induced myocarditis, as natural history of HF continues to improve (for example, better survival of human immunodeficiency virus cardiomyopathy or HF due to adult congenital heart disease or HF due to any cause), as hybrid scanners are increasingly available (for example, PET and MRI in one scanner may be a better option for sarcoid or to determine viability), as newer quality measures and appropriateness criteria emerge, and as costs of 'advanced' modalities continue to fall.

Iraqi society is becoming more Islamic and corruption in the country has led to Christians losing their land and homes. Despite cities being liberated from the Islamic State, thousands of fighters remain in Iraq. Whilst it has been safe for some Christians to return home, many have struggle to stay due to lack of jobs. Traditional and evangelical churches have been divided for many years. However, some church leaders have said the Islamic State helped unify the church.
One day, Faiez was a government worker in Mosul. The next, he was on the run with his family, fleeing Islamic State (IS) extremists. The militant group had told them that they must pay a high tax or face the sword if they would not convert to Islam. As the family went through an IS checkpoint, everything was taken from them, including their 9-year-old son's pocket money.
"My son was crying and shouting the whole time," says Faiez. "He thought he would never see me again."
Iraq has been home to followers of God for thousands of years. Abraham was from the region we now call Iraq. Mosul is the current name for the city of Nineveh, described in the book of Jonah. In the 1990s, Iraq was home to 1.2 million Christians.
Now, just an estimated 250,000 Christians remain. Since the US-led invasion of Iraq, anti-Western (and by association anti-Christian) sentiments have grown, and Islamic extremism has been strengthened by the civil war in neighbouring Syria. This has led to IS declaring their 'caliphate' (Islamic state) in north-west Iraq and parts of Syria.There are few Christians lefts in IS-controlled parts of Iraq. IS has forbidden public gatherings that are not organised by them, and churches have been demolished or turned into jails, stables and Islamic centres. The punishment for breaking the strict laws enforced by IS range from cutting off hands to public executions.
Many Christians have fled to the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan. The church in Kurdistan has been reaching out to refugees fleeing IS; many provide refugees with shelter, food, medicines and other essentials. Father Daniel, who runs activities for children in a refugee camp in Erbil, says "I hope that these kids are going to have a new life without any wars, to live in peace."
However, even in areas of Iraq that aren't controlled by IS, society appears to be growing more Islamic, making life more difficult for Christians. Christian women in Baghdad and Basra have been forced to veil themselves in order to feel safe outside of their homes, and there has been a greater pressure for Christians to observe Ramadan.
Iran also exherts increasing influence within Iraq, and Muslim-background beleivers who live close to the border with Iran have reported being monitored by the Iranian secret service.
Open Doors has been working with local partners and churches in Iraq for over 20 years to support the church through:

The making of a special set of Sri Sri Radha Madhava/Ashta Sakhi fiberglass murtis has recently commenced.
The purpose of these murtis is specifically to place on the altars with the Pancha Tattva and Guru-parampara murtis for decorating the area as well as to determine how all the murtis on all the altars fit nicely together in Their places. This will make the altar complete and give us indications for future work to be done.
Additionally, these murtis will also serve the purpose of designing and measuring new Deity outfits.

Privacy Fences are built to give your family and friends privacy and a sense of security along with making your back yard beautiful and keeping kids safe. A wood privacy fence can be a cost effective way to close in your back yard and keep unwanted guests out. Another option is a vinyl privacy fence will be a little more to begin with but will be a lot less maintenance.

Thank you.

The Bush family needs to butt out of politics after the current Bush ends his term. Thank goodness his daughters aren't into politics as far as I know.
Josh Stern: if you think you are so cool guy....well you are very fucking pathetic guy. I heard that you have been accepted into NTID/RIT. You better behave and be honest to yourself and to others. So far you have been a black listed "hell-borned" idiot jerk by spreading some bullshit stories about other people whom YOU have issues with. You watch out or you will crash and burn in hell, just like what you did to Class of 2002 at Gallaudet when you stole their hard-earned money for their class shirts. It is very unfortunate that NTID/RIT welcomed you to their campus. You think you could start with a clean slate, well you are FUCKING wrong. For you who just met Josh, DO NOT TRUST him at all. You are even better being with Lucifer the devil himself than being with Josh if you get my drift.
Damn you mosquitoes. I thought I'd manage to not get bitten this summer. Lo and behold! You somehow made it into my apartment last night and bit me twice in a row. These raised bumps are next to each other with your lovely entries visible to the naked eyes. Now they look like a set of mini-boobs on my wrist. Thanks!
Jenny Perlis is great gal!
RONALD KINGSLEY: Gallaudet, Class of 86. Anybody know him?! Serious Mental Case! He needs help big time.

I hate RWR, a "hearing xian prick" from Houston. He is spineless and just tosses out worthless words without merit. His words are a waste in cyberspace.
Berna had enough gall to masturbate in the bed of Keith Clark's parents when they were away on vacation.
Is Prez Bush going to ride another bike tour to New Orleans after the Hurricane has done doing its wonders there? Or canoe around with the national canoe champ to survey the hurricane damage. Or, will he send his brother once again?
I still *heart* Ridor!
Jenny Perlis rocks!

Fuck you, Katrina, for the terrible mess but thank you for making President
Bush shamely shame!
What? There is an email address devoted to Ridor? Get a life, AntiRidorBeast. Oh, by the way, Ridor already met Dorian twice and he still walked away with his head high. I doubt you would have done the same with Ridor, though.

in Jezebel (1938)
Source: movieactors.com
Fay Okell Bainter was an American actress who began as a traveling stage actress. In 1912 she debuted on Broadway as Celine Marinter in The Rose of Panama (1912). After a string of Broadway shoes, she made her movie debut in This Side of Heaven (1934). Bainter quickly achieved success, and in 1938 she became the first performer nominated for both the Oscar for Best Actress, for White Banners (1937), and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Jezebel (1938), winning the Best Supporting Actress award. Since then, only nine other actors have won dual nominations in a single year. She was again nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Children's Hour (1961). Bainter is also the aunt of actress Dorothy Burgess and sister-in-law to actress Grace Burgess.

There are those of us who would happily pick up our tote bag, pop on our shoes and toddle off for a fun day of thrifting in our nearest and dearest charity shops, flea markets and car boot sales (holds hand up). Then there are those who simply couldn't think of anything worse; my lovely boyfriend being one of them. Ah well, more for me I say!
If you're a reader of my personal blog, you'll be bored by how peaky I've been feeling of late. Ergo, I haven't been treasure hunting for weeks. Oh woe is me! The consolation? Browsing online. Phew, wipes brow...
If you're looking for a unique gift but don't fancy trawling around in the rain (not that I'm trying to put you off...ahem) then why not buy vintage online?
Here are a selection of my favourite online vintage stores, to be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home with a cup of Rosy Lee:
Happy thrifting!

CCB Office 01872 267138 | Centre 01872 267138
Email CCO Joe Skinner | Email Centre Bookings
Cornwall Cricket has been privileged to receive an official visit, on 17 January 2019, from Gordon Hollins, a leading executive officer at the ECB, together with Derek Brewer, an advisor to the ECB Board. That morning it had been officially announced that Mr Hollins had been appointed to the newly created ECB Board role of Managing Director, County Cricket, to provide a vital focus on the core of domestic cricket. He was previously ECB's Chief Operating Officer and, together with Mr Brewer, responsible for working with the game to devise the new County Partnership Agreements between ECB and its members over the last 18 months. See ECB's Media Release below.
Derek Brewer was formally CEO of Nottinghamshire (2005-12) and the CEO of the MCC at Lord's (2012-17). Also in attendance was Tim Masters, the ECB's Head of Participation and Growth (South West and Wales).
Following a meeting, at the Cornwall Cricket Centre at Truro, with the Cornwall Cricket Board Executive Mr Hollins gave a two-hour presentation and Q & A session to leading personnel from the various pillars within Cornish Cricket and club reps. In his introduction he stated he was pleased to make a first visit to the county, completing a full set of all 38 counties.
Mr Hollins outlined details of the new five-year County Partnership Agreement to come into place in 2020. This has come into being after 18 months of countrywide consultations. It will also see the introduction of a 100 ball franchise competition in the first-class game, aimed to bring cricket to a new young audience. With substantial income from increased TV rights becoming available a total of £500 million is being made available across 26 different projects, designed to expand the game across urban and ethnically diverse areas of England and Wales.
They fall under six distinct priorities – growing and nurturing the core, inspiring through elite teams, making cricket accessible, engaging children and young people, transforming women's and girls' cricket, and supporting our communities
Minor Counties cricket is also to undergo changes as part of the agreement and, subject to formal MCCA ratification next month will be rebranded as the National Counties Cricket Association from 2020. The playing formats will be balanced to provide four three-day championship games, four one-day 50 overs games, and four days of T20 competition. In the championship, the west and east divisions will be split into two divisions with promotion and relegation. The top five teams in the 2019 championship will form division one. The teams finishing in first place in division 1 east and west will contest the overall championship final. The 50 over and T20 groups will also lead to the usual finals days. All change in 2020 for Cornwall CCC
Commenting on the event Cornwall Cricket Board CEO Simon Menneer said " We feel very privileged to have had a meeting with two such senior ECB representatives a mere three days after the launch of the strategy. In addition to Gordon's presentation, the Executive had a chance to spend an hour asking detailed questions about the new County Partnership Agreement about which we are very enthusiastic."
ECB Media Release 17 January 2019 website
ECB has appointed Gordon Hollins to the newly created role of Managing Director, County Cricket to provide a vital focus on the core of domestic cricket.
The announcement was made to the Members of the ECB at a whole-game meeting in London this week where the game's new strategy for cricket from 2020 to 2024, Inspiring Generations, was shared.
In line with this strategy, Gordon's responsibilities in the newly-created role will include managing the relationship between ECB and the domestic and recreational game.
Hollins was previously ECB's Chief Operating Officer and, within this, responsible for working with the game to devise the new County Partnership Agreements between ECB and its members over the last 18 months.
This work, carried out with support from ECB Board Advisor Derek Brewer, will play a key part in the success of the new strategy.
Commenting on the appointment, Tom Harrison, ECB Chief Executive Officer, said: "Gordon has demonstrated his outstanding leadership abilities over a number of years in the game.
"Throughout his time both at Durham and ECB, Gordon has continually impressed with his passion and commitment for cricket and especially his love for the county game.
"His appointment to this newly created role is part of ECB's pledge to protect and grow the domestic game and ensure it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
"We will do this through partnership and increased support to the counties through the new strategy."
Gordon Hollins, ECB Managing Director, County Cricket, added: "I am thrilled to take up this position at an exciting time for the county game.
"There is some excellent work being done by people across the counties and we have a responsibility to help and support them and to ensure that the game continues to grow.
"We can only do that by working in collaboration with our partners – the 38 counties, Cricket Wales and MCC."

Welcome To Alabama Avery Johnson
Well I see where Alabama finally got a basketball couch. I am glad about that and I will say what I said before it doesn't matter who the coach is he or she needs the players to competeI just hope the new coach will have the resources needed to go out and recruit the best players available no matter where they are.
I believe Coach Johnson is a good hire and he brings a lot of excitement to the program I believe and hope they got the right man The LITTLE GENERAL.
