Oregon men's basketball embarrassed by Arizona State, suffering most lopsided home defeat in 8 years
Dana Altman recognized the Oregon Ducks' reality before it hosted Arizona State Thursday night in a pivotal game both teams needed to move back into the bubble conversation for an NCAA Tournament at-large bid.
"Now we've got no excuses," Altman said in a pregame radio interview, during which he acknowledged that having 11 of 12 scholarship players available for the first time this season meant the Ducks could no longer use injuries as a reason for poor performances .
Yet Oregon's healthiest roster of the season suffered one of the largest margins of defeat at Matthew Knight Arena in Altman's 13 seasons in Eugene, enduring an embarrassing 90-73 loss before a lethargic crowd of 5,955 Thursday night.
"It was a really bad start to the game," Altman said. "They got whatever they wanted, (including) their confidence. … We got beat in every facet of the game. Really disappointed, obviously. I know our fans are. They should be. That is not what you expect from our ball team and our program. Very concerning."
Will Richardson scored 16 points and N'Faly Dante added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Ducks (9-8, 3-3 Pac-12), who trailed by as much as 29 in the second half. It's the largest margin of defeat at home for Oregon since Jan. 8, 2015 — when it lost 80-62 to Arizona — and is tied for the third-largest at home in the Altman era.
Desmond Cambridge Jr. scored 21 points to lead four players in double-figures for the Sun Devils (14-3, 5-1), who shot 44.8% from three-point range — more than twice their average (21.5%) in league play
After a back-and-forth opening few minutes, Arizona State erupted for a 30-8 run to take control. The Sun Devils led 46-29 at the end of the first half, making 19 of 34 shots from the field, including 8 of 17 from three-point range, while accumulating 11 assists on an array of highlight-reel plays.
"We didn't contest shots inside," Altman said. "We obviously didn't contest shots on the perimeter to start the game, did a little better as the game went on, but they got off to such a good start they got into a rhythm. We allowed that to happen."
Aside from three consecutive three-pointers by Richardson in the first half and an 11-0 UO run in the second when ASU's starters were on the bench, the home crowd had nothing to cheer for.
Another blowout loss, albeit in Quadrant 2, will drop Oregon from 65 in NET and make the climb toward postseason consideration the least of its problems with No. 9 Arizona (14-2, 3-2) coming to town on Saturday.
Altman did everything to avoid calling out players by name, but said that changes to the lineup and playing time would be coming.
"We're going to have to change things up and really make some guys more accountable for their minutes," he said. "We're going to shake some things up, give some guys some opportunities and cut the minutes of some guys that we've been giving a lot of opportunities to. And I don't know if that'll work. If I thought they were better going into the game, I'd have played them, but (we) can't keep doing the same thing."
Starters Rivaldo Soares and Brennan Rigsby both went scoreless in the first half. Quincy Guerrier scored all of his four points in a short spurt in the first half and recorded a team-low minus-27 in 21 minutes.
Centers Nate Bittle and Kel'el Ware scored all 10 of their points and recorded six of their seven combined rebounds in the second half. Most came with Arizona State's starters on the bench. Altman acknowledged there's no scenario in which Oregon can win with the two former five-star recruits combining to go scoreless with one rebound in a half, as they did in a combined 5 minutes, 12 seconds during the first half Thursday.
"We've got to play a lot better," Altman said. "There's a lot of scenarios, but I thought Nate did play hard in the second half. Kel'el, if he hits a shot he's in pretty good shape, but he goes 1 for 5. We're going to need the whole team. We've got some depth.
"If I had the answer, obviously we'd go that way. But we'll be up all night trying to figure it out as a coaching staff. We'll practice tomorrow and 3 o'clock on Saturday we need to see a different team."
Keeshawn Barthelemy had seven points in 12 minutes off the bench for Oregon in his first minutes since Nov. 20.
"He did some good things the second half," Altman said. "First helped he was a little out of sorts, but got his legs under him a little bit in the second half."
DJ Horne scored 15 points, all on three-pointers, for the Sun Devils, who improved to 3-1 in what is a Quadrant 1 game for the time being. Devan Cambridge (14 points, five rebounds) and Warren Washington (10 points, eight rebounds) also scored in double-figures for Arizona State, which shot 52.4% from the field and earned its largest margin of victory in a conference game this season.

5 Items to Put On Your 'No Buy' List for 2023


January 6, 2016 January 6, 2016 | LizT.
I'm sorry that we live in the kind of world where appearance is what we are judged on above all other merit. To some degree everyone is judged in this manner, but no one is judged quite as harshly as women over a "certain" age. A threshold that seems to creep younger and younger each year.
What a shame, because women (like men shockingly enough, world) get better with age. You, Miss Fisher, are better with your age. You don't need anyone's validation about this point, much less mine. And from your poignant responses to such ridiculous criticism, I know you know this more than anyone else!!
We, the viewing and critical public have the luxury of watching your face in a darkened movie theater. We who are not held to the standard that you are. We (NY Post author…I'm looking at you) who have not the fame and fortune that you have and we (still looking at you Post) who are, perhaps, jealous of those things.
I'm sure that as an actress with your great stature and respect in the nerd community alone (we will follow where you lead, General) you probably have access to the best resources in weight loss and boutique fitness and sure, as the Post author has suggested, even the best drugs out there for the Hollywood elite. Having read about you for years and years, I find it shocking appalling UNACCEPTABLE for anyone to suggest to you the things that have been suggested!
I look forward to a future where women are not judged by how good they look in a gold bikini, but rather on their merit as a genuine human being! But hey, I'm a hopeless optimist like that.
The Force is with you!!! So very with you!
** To anyone who doesn't know what NY Post article I'm referring to, you can go Google it. Because I refuse to link it in this blog post!
Very nicely stated, Liz. And not for nothing, i think she looks amazing! And for the record, she is 58, and does NOT look it.
Absolutely doesn't look a day over 38! 😉 thanks Lori!!!
Standing up and clapping for this!
Thanks Danielle! After reading about the NY Post article, I just got so hot about it!! Had to be said. Women are held t a ridiculous standard and the idea that someone shouldn't accept that they are so much more than just "pretty" is ludicrous!!!
Completely agree. It's disheartening and I think if people spent more time worrying about themselves than others we'd all be a lot happier.

Lisa Gunther and husband Gregg Gunther own Gunther Guns. The family-owned company will be celebrating their one-year anniversary at the end of August.
Gunther Guns — filling a need responsibly
by staff August 22, 2014 0480
Nearing the first anniversary of Gunther Guns in Carlsbad, husband and wife Gregg and Lisa Gunther are thrilled at having the opportunity to fill this important need in their community.
And being the sole Carlsbad store where people can purchase firearms, Gunther Guns has become the go-to-spot for locals. But with that comes a sense of responsibility, too, which Lisa described as a "very detail-oriented paper driven business."
"We are heavily regulated by the state and the federal government," she said.
"No one," she added, "can purchase a firearm without passing a thorough background check. We sell firearms to responsible law abiding citizens – it can be no other way."
And it's not just gun enthusiasts that are coming through their doors, but also your average citizen. "It's the people you do business with — doctors, lawyers, business owners, your neighbors," Lisa said.
"It's been wonderful meeting and making friends with so many nice local folks — helping them sell their used firearms or purchase a new one is a responsibility we take very seriously.
Women shooters are the fastest growing segment in the gun industry and quite frankly, it's about time. There are many self defense products available to women at Gunther Guns including pepper spray, tasers and handguns. A carefully chosen handgun is the ultimate equalizer for every woman and all women should be prepared to defend themselves against potential harm. Our store is set-up with women shooters in mind. Local gals can stop by anytime to discuss their security needs in a clean well organized friendly environment.
"In California, you cannot purchase or sell a firearm from an individual. All firearm purchases and sales must be completed by a Federal Firearms Licensee such as Gunther Guns.
Gunther Guns is a family-owned business located on Loker Avenue West, which is the only firearms store in Carlsbad. Lisa and Gregg carry new handguns, shotguns, rifles, ammunition and accessories including holsters and cleaning kits. Customer can also dispose of old ammunition at their facility.
Gunther Guns will be marking their first anniversary, which comes at the end of August, with a drawing for their customers to enter to win $500 worth of merchandise. For more details and to enter the drawing visit Gunther Guns now through Sept. 30.
Gunther Guns is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. They're located at 2717 Loker Ave. West Suite B in Carlsbad. Visit Guntherguns.com or call (760) 444-1100.

US writer-director Brian Helgeland (A Knight's Tale) evokes an elegantly detailed and extremely dangerous 1960s London as he depicts the thorny and short-fused lives of East End underworld rulers and twin brothers, Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
Helgeland, who is perhaps best known for writing and receiving an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for L.A. Confidential (1997) here has based Legends off of John Pearson's book "The Profession of Violence: The Rise and Fall of the Kray Twins" with mostly winning, certainly unsettling, but far too overwritten results (To wit when Reggie delivers: "Home at last, like Agamemnon returned from Ithaca!").
Tom Hardy (Locke) mesmerizes in his dual role, infusing as much anarchy in the UK as possible, relishing in the clear contrast between the Krays; Reggie is ruthless but personable and facile whereas Ronnie is his dim doppelgänger, prone to tantrums owing to an undiagnosed mental health quandary and whose violent tears are frequently terrifying.
Hardy blows hot and cold, cruel and kind with equal eclat. It's a performance that risks indulgent overdoing, but as the very title of the film declares, these are larger than life brothers who come to believe their own legend.
Perhaps owing to the tradition of the gangster epic, particularly nostalgic-infused and stylishly dizzying Goodfellas, Helgeland occasionally presents Legend like Scorsese-lite. There's the requisite intertitles and freeze frames, and he oddly relies on the overused narrative device of the voiceover.
Perhaps as something of an homage to Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, Helgeland's story is told from the perspective of Frances Shea (Emily Browning), doomed teen bride of Reggie Kray, little more than a juvenile ingenue when we first meet her.
Browning (Sleeping Beauty, God Help the Girl) is quite good in her role, and the early stages of her courtship by Reggie takes pains to detail a life that is alternately horrifying and seductive. Frances meets Reggie owing to her older brother Frankie (Colin Morgan), who's a driver for the Krays, and straight away her mother, Elsie Shea (Tara Fitzgerald, excellent) looks askance to their relationship.
Later, when Frances turns 22, she marries Reggie, Elsie dresses in funerary black, refusing to witness the ceremony, she's disgusted and spurned at their union. "Love is a witness," Frances spits at her, and ties the knot anyway.
As Frances and Reggie soldier on as man and wife – a destructive avenue that would eventually send Frances to self-slaughter – Mrs. Shea remains rigid with unsentimental astringency, moving from pathos to hysteria, especially in her regard towards Reggie driving her daughter to destruction.
Frances is not alone in succumbing to the tornado that the Krays call down, and the gangster tale at the heart of Legend is sordidly exciting, as it should be. There's black comedy and tragedy at every turn and Helgeland displays an overconfidence that's mirrored somewhat by Ronnie and Reggie.
For all their swagger and subversion on their road to criminal ascendancy there's vivid sentiment as well as fractured wisdom.
Another wise move from Helgeland in his telling of Legend is to not take the traditional biopic path of telling their tale from cradle to grave—a lesson unlearned by Peter Mendak in his 1990 hit-and-miss movie, The Krays—instead focussing on a pivotal era. Here he hones in on when the brothers owned and ran Soho nightclubs. Ronnie, with his preference for boys yet intolerance for boyish behaviour, himself acts out all the time in front of an audience, and frequently in their own glitzy venue.
"Whatever he's done, he's your brother," says Reggie's mom, Violet (Jane Wood), trying to tame the tempest between the frequently feuding brothers. She's maternal to her sons, and likeable, and her support of their bloodthirsty and retaliatory ways is something of a shock, at least to those unfamiliar with the fine points of the Krays crime legacy. Of course mealy mouthiness isn't really on the menu here and an eye-rolling ending with feelgoodery isn't going to happen, either.
For all the excellent actors on hand throughout Legend—David Thewlis shines as business manager Leslie Pain, and rival gangster Charlie Richardson (Paul Bettany) has some choice scenes as well—none can match Hardy's head-turning two-pronged assault. When he's not in the frame the film tends to drag.
Nipping at the Krays' heels is Scotland Yard's aptly named Inspector Nipper Read (Christopher Eccleston), who is underutilized and could have perhaps buoyed the uneven keel of the picture substantially. Too bad.
Cinematographer Dick Pope (Naked, Mr. Turner) lenses with an intense yet subdued color palette, and combined with first-rate production design from Tom Conroy (Breakfast on Pluto) make London's East End in the Swinging Sixties crackle and spark, but nothing can call away attention from Hardy, who carries the film with his alternately unhinged and equitable representation of selfsame mafiosos.
Genre fans will find the familiar crimeland chapter and verse engrossing, but all and all Legend is lacking anything that isn't handed-down or truly the least bit legendary.

What is Holistic Pet Food? What are the benefits to holistic pet food for my cats and dogs?
Holistic dog food is created based on this definition, with the goal of providing your pets with the much needed nutrients to balance out their health and well being. It is made from high quality ingredients, real meat, antioxidants, vitamins, probiotics, digestive enzymes, omega 3 fatty acids, and other nutrients.
By feeding a poor quality food your pet's overall nutrition is poor and their general health will decline.
Does your pet display any of the following signs?
These are all signs of a food borne allergy. Your pet needs an immediate change in their diets. We have seen a drastic improvement in cats and dogs that have switched their diets and within several weeks have blossomed into an allergy free diet.
Let us address these issues and make your pet allergy free.
If you can say yes to any of all of the above then call us at 561-241-9151.
If you have questions about vaccines, food, skin conditions, arthritis, overall health or anything for your pets wellbeing, we will teach you how to get on the right path for your dog or cat.

Three champagne cheers for Longines, who had the brilliant idea to get millinery students from Kensington & Chelsea College to design a Royal Ascot hat for Longines ambassador Linnéa Aarflot. Here, we go behind the scenes and reveal the winning piece of headwear.
Royal Ascot is very much a race meet that's the culmination of spotting and supporting young talent. From the four-legged youngsters blazing down the track to the jockeys piloting them, it's an event that's about natural ability and daring.
Enter Longines, racing's guardian angel, who had the rather clever idea to transfer the support for young trailblazers to a different but equally important element of the prestigious race: the hats! By joining forces with millinery students at Kensington & Chelsea College the aim was to design the perfect hat for Longines ambassador and top dressage rider, Linnéa Aarflot.
Each milliner drew inspiration from Aarflot's personal style and fashion desires as well as interpreting Longines' 'Elegance is an Attitude' slogan, which resulted in a variety of creative visions from delicate details and looks a la My Fair Lady to minimal lines and lilac shades.
For the final top three selection and winner announcement, the esteemed milliner Rachel Trevor Morgan looked for technical ability, while Longines judged on elegance and Linnéa Aarflot for the overall style and fit.
The Swedish milliner, Johanna Wastle, was named the winner with her silk fabric wrapped around the hat in one elegant movement. The runner-ups were Lily Thomson for her lilac sun flower and Emily Brewell for her interesting combination of Longines' colour palette.


However, despite what the constitution says, governments opt to shut down forms of communication over the internet under the guise of "containing violence".
Internet was cut in the Democratic Republic of Congo during a tumultuous presidential election to avoid an "uprising" as tensions rose while the results were pending. Opposition parties accused authorities of trying to curb activism against suspect numbers. Citizens figured out ways to tap into services across the Congo River in the Republic of Congo, but service was finally restored 20 days after the election.
Again to counter a protest, Sudan blocked social media amid growing calls for its longtime president, Omar al-Bashir, to step down. It wasn't as severe as the internet blackout imposed in 2013, but the restricted access severely impacted the exchange of information. Access to Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp was only possible via a virtual private network (VPN).

Ancient antlers return to Borth for special exhibition
In early August this year the Borth antlers (dated to the Bronze Age) returned to Borth following a request from Borth Railway Museum to follow up on a successful exhibition in 2017.
Speaking at the time of the discovery of the antlers, Dr. Martin Bates of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, said: "I had thought that it would be in excess of 4,000, or even 6,000, years old but this is considerably younger than any of us anticipated.
"What this date tells us is that dry land persisted in this place at least until the Bronze Age, which means that the flooding here was therefore more recent than previously thought. The antlers have therefore totally changed our understanding of what happened to this landscape in the past".
The exhibition focuses on the submerged forest that is so well exposed between Borth and Ynyslas that dates to the late Mesolithic and the Neolithic periods (4-6 thousand years ago) but contains channels that cut through the forest that date to much later periods.
The exhibition contains information on the forest, the associated archaeology of the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods as well as finds from the area. The exhibition is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 12pm to 4pm, throughout August and through to the start of September – the exhibition ends on 3 September.
Leaflets were produced in both English and Welsh for distribution during the exhibition about the forest and the human presence. Dr. Martin Bates led a walk through the forest at low tide on Thursday 11th August and Sunday 28th August. Many attended in great numbers who had an interest in Mesolithic archaeology or an interest in local archaeology.

The thermometer chip is TMP75. It is digital temperature sensor with I2C interface and up to 27 different I2C addresses (with only 3 pins). The TMP75 offers a typical accuracy of ±1°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning, which makes it very "arduino style" to use.
to use this code you should clone complete Loradunchy repository and prepare the comissioning file based on provided template and specific data from your TTN registered device.
The data from TTN is sent via HTTP integration to my NodeRed server. The readouts are stored there in the database where Grafana (on same server) present is in fancy diagrams. The Grafana is also used to trigger the alarms and notifications.
Such diagrams above are very technical for average hobby producer of the wine.
The temperature rised above alarm value (24°C) for specific time (10 minutes). This triggered alarm via email to the owner of the small cellar. Hw then went there and hand mixed the 500 liter container with fermenting grapes and added few bottles of ice. The temperature then droped significantly and the slow fermenting process continues. The quality of young wine should be excellent.
Very good project. How far from the product is this?

Consumers Adopting Dual Mode Phones for Fixed Mobile Convergence While Enterprises Lag Behind, says Insight Research
By Send2Press Newswire on October 2, 2007 in Press Releases, Reports and Studies
BOONTON, N.J. – Oct. 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Led by consumer demand, fixed mobile convergence (FMC) is taking off around the world, even as businesses watch from the sidelines, says a new study from Insight Research. According to the new market research report, over the next five years FMC will generate more than $35 billion in revenue for service providers and hardware vendors. FMC service allows the same handset to access telecommunications services through both fixed and cellular networks.
The handset, which can toggle between fixed and mobile calling, can also leverage WiFi hotspots, voice over IP (VoIP) technology, and voice over wireless local area networks (WLANs).
According to the study, Fixed Mobile Convergence: Single Phone Solutions for Wireline and Wireless, 2007 – 2012, consumer demand is driving sales. Insight's study found a much slower adoption rate by enterprises because there was little economic incentive for either wireline service providers or cellular providers to promote FMC. It would mean revenue-generating calls would be moved off of their respective networks and onto the enterprise's WLAN.
"FMC represents another telecommunications area where the US is trailing developments in Europe and Asia," says Insight president Robert Rosenberg. "Europe was first to adopt FMC solutions, and it is forecasted to continue investing in the technology. In the US, however, the largest incumbents are replacing declining access line revenue with revenue derived from the sale of both wireless and broadband services, so there is little incentive at present to push FMC to consumers," Rosenberg concluded.
"Fixed Mobile Convergence; Single Phone Solutions for Wireline and Wireless, 2007 – 2012" evaluates the fixed mobile convergence by global region and projects customers and revenue by consumer and enterprise segments.

Over 153 million views for online advertising videos in the final quarter of last year – these are the figures for bank campaigns directed at Polish internet users. A Gemius study shows that the greatest number of bank video advert plays happened on Facebook, YouTube and Wirtualna Polska Group sites.
Data from the final quarter of 2016 shows that one Polish webizen in three saw bank video spots online (source: gemiusAdReal). The number of internet users who saw advertising films for banks online ranged from 9.1 million in December to 10.5 million in November. This translates to a reach of 33.3 and 38.8 per cent of those surfing the `net. The longest average advert contact time was observed in December (17.4 seconds), while in-browser advertisement visibility over the period in question was between 72 and 76 per cent.
From October to December online video adverts were played more than 153 million times. This is a drop relative to the third quarter, when 170 million views were recorded. It turns out that over half of all views in the fourth quarter (52.3 per cent) were made up of content from just three brands: ING Bank Śląski, Eurobank and mBank. In the period in question the greatest monthly reach was for video ads for mBank. These were encountered by 16.2 per cent of internet users in October, and the average viewing time (display in field of view) was 9.82 seconds.
Marta Sułkiewicz, an expert in online video advertising at Gemius notes that the fourth quarter of 2016 was very varied. 'First of all, there was an unusually low number of campaigns for cash loans in this period. There was more frequent advertising of mobile banking, savings accounts and personal accounts. This is undoubtedly associated with the impact of the government's 500+ programme of child support, which has increased the potential of savings-related products. Secondly, it is worth paying attention to the launch of a new brand, Nest Bank, which belongs to FM Bank PBP, which had previously been operated as two brands – Bank SMART and BIZ Bank. The bank's campaign started on 4 November and lasted until the beginning of January, concentrating on the Wirtualna Polska group and Interia group, while also playing out on Ipla, the Gazeta.pl group, Gazeta Prawna and the Bankier-Puls Biznesu group. The video spots appealed to traditional family values and were predominantly displayed to the 30+ age group, with an exceptionally large share of over-45s,' Sułkiewicz adds.
In the rankings of which publishers' sites show bank video adverts most frequently, Facebook is king. Its quarterly number of started plays exceeded 36.4 million, while YouTube had 27.2 million views. Third place went to websites of the Wirtualna Polska group. Bank video ads there were run 20.4 million times. It is worth highlighting the fact that the three aforementioned sites constitute over half (54.8 per cent) of all banking sector online video views in the fourth quarter of 2016.

James Toseland will sit down with his manager Roger Burnett today (Tuesday) to evaluate his options to either ride in MotoGP or stay in World Superbikes with Honda in 2008.
James Toseland has a lucrative deal on the table from his current Ten Kate Honda squad to remain in World Superbikes to campaign the new Honda Fireblade next season.
His current World Superbike Championship-leading form has seen him become a target of MotoGP's Gresini Honda, D'Antin Ducati and Yamaha Tech 3.
With the MotoGP season currently now on its summer break, Roger Burnett is understood to have received firm offers for each of the rides.
Toseland arrived back in the UK from the Suzuka Eight-hour race on Monday night.
His debut Eight-hour race didn't go to plan with the British star crashing out just three laps into his first stint, ruling his number one HRC squad out of the race.
Despite this set-back Honda bosses remain determined to keep James Toseland on a Superbike next year and held meetings with the 26-year-old after the Suzuka race.
Speaking to MCN, Roger Burnett said: "James got back yesterday so it's a case of sitting down together and looking at all the options.


Ipoh is one of my favourite pitstops to make whenever I head up north as the food is good and it's less chaotic compared to Penang, for now. Over the weekend, Jien and I ticked off Restoran Ipoh from our to-eat-list, after hearing good things about the place from our friend.
Restoran Ipoh is located along Jalan Masjid and locating them through waze would require plugging in some Chinese text or keying in the road name and looking out for the restaurant as you approach your destination. The place is spacious and service is quick – it didn't take long for our food to arrive.
I really liked the Fried Pork Belly with Soy Sauce (RM13) as the belly slices were fried till the edges turn crisp, and tossed in a wok with scallions, ginger and soy sauce for a caramelised finish. You get that savoury, honey-like coating and a slight crunch when you bite into the belly, and the sharpness of ginger and scallion help offset the rich flavour of the pork.
The staff recommended that we try their House Special Beancurd (RM11 – small, RM15 – medium) as it happens to be one of the most ordered tofu dishes at Restoran Ipoh. The tofu comes prawns, assorted vegetables and fish paste, which gives the dish a "QQ" texture.
It's been a while since I spotted Steamed Chicken with Salted Fish (RM13) in a restaurant's menu so I ordered one to try. Restoran Ipoh also serves a pork version of this but since we already ordered the pork belly, we went for chicken instead.
The chicken pieces were tender and the gravy had a good balance of salted fish and ginger. This reminded me of the dish my mother and grandmother used to make when I was growing up. I reckon the pork version would taste just as good or better, as there's more flavour to pork than chicken if you asked me.
Kangkung belacan (RM8) is decent enough to enjoy with rice but I feel it could use more belacan for oomph. That being said, I noticed the folks at Ipoh like their vegetables more subdued so it could be a norm for them. For me, the spicier and more pungent my kangkong belacan, the better.
Our bill came up to slightly over RM50 for all the above inclusive of drinks and rice. Not too shabby considering the amount of food we ordered. If you're ever in Ipoh, go check this place out.
Verdict: The food reminds me of home cooked goodness and prices are reasonable.

Chris Brown Impresses with Dance Skills in "BATTLE OF THE YEAR" (Opens Nov 6)
The cast of Columbia Pictures' new dance movie "Battle of the Year" combines experienced actors with top street dancers to create a visceral and authentic picture of the reality of life as a b-boy or "break-dancer."
"Battle of the Year" is the Olympics of break dancing, a tournament held every year that attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven't won in fifteen years. Los Angeles Hip Hop mogul and former B-Boy Dante (Laz Alonso) wants to put the country that started the Sport back on top. He enlists his hard-luck friend Blake (Kosh Holloway), who was a championship basketball coach, to coach his team. Armed with the theory that the right coach can make any team champions, they assemble a Dream Team of all the best b-boys across the country. With only three months until Battle of the Year, Blake has to use every tactic he knows to get twelve talented individuals to come together as a team if they're going to bring the Trophy back to America where it started. Inspired by the actual World championship held yearly in France.
Grammy®-winning recording artist Chris Brown plays Rooster, one of the most outstanding dancers on the Dream team. "I wasn't really familiar with Chris Brown's music, but I was completely blown away by his talent," says director Benson Lee. "Chris is the consummate performer. He really respects the craft of b-boying. He trained rigorously and his natural swagger is perfect for Rooster. He owns this character and there's no doubt that he's one of the best dancers out there today, but he's one of the boys on the set. He doesn't play the diva card at all."
Rooster becomes one of the group's leaders, which the filmmakers say came naturally to Brown. "Chris brings so many things to this role like this," according to producer Tripp Vinson. "It was a privilege to watch him work and he was a lot of fun to have on set."
Brown has been interested in b-boying since he was a kid and his natural aptitude for dance helped him pick up the finer points relatively quickly. Still, he says this was the most difficult dancing he has ever done. "Nobody's faking anything here," says Brown. "Working with these guys was inspiring for me. They really pushed me to do my best because they were so serious. They were always willing to show me how to do a move and they were really encouraging. I learned a lot and I think I walked away from this movie with a lot of new friendships."
Brown says he loves acting and is always open to an interesting part, but he was hesitant to accept a role in a film about dance, especially since he is already well-known for his musical performances. "The script was incredible, though," he says. "The characters and the story made me want to be a part of it."
Brown quickly learned that there's a big difference between performing and battling. "When I go out on stage in front of 15,000 people, I know they came to see me," he says. "Battling is ten times as hard because you face the judgment. If you mess up, they let you know."
To be shown exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas nationwide starting Nov. 6, "Battle of the Year" is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

The G.I. JOE COLLECTORS' CLUB has received the answers from the HASBRO team for the bi-monthly Q&A series. Check out our list of submission questions, along with the answers as provided by the company:
These were interesting.
Look at the first one. The question IS....are they going to fix all the damn figures that came with thouse crappy arms?
Ummm these were last April's Q&A. @hmmm@
Boards were still having problems. I didn't realize it wasn't "current" but that comment is still pertient, is it not? Hasbro is aware we hate those arms, yet we are still seeing them in use.
Bludd's arm was a "tribute" my ass.
From JoeBattleLines:
This was a design decision to pay tribute to the 80's figure and we knew that either way 50% of the fans would not be satisfied. Based on feedback, we are looking into an articulated arm somewhere down the line.
Yes a tribute because the origuinal Bludd did not have articulation in that arm. Why is this so hard to accept by some? It's like the V2 Snake Eyes not having Timber.
Now you can all be happy that a second Bludd is in the works with arm articulation.
I'm more upset about this.
4) We saw the Cobra Commander Comic Con exclusive, but we can't see
his articulation because he's behind a podium. Does he have full GIJOE
25th anniversary articulation (ie: ball-jointed hips), or does he have more "Indiana Jones/Star Wars" articulation?
This figure has an Indy/SW articulation. The only way to do this figure was to share the tooling with Indy; but we accepted the change in style because the figure rocks and he was designed to stand at a podium so his waist articulation is less important.
Joebattlelines was still down so I didn't see that about Major Bludd. I just hope whomever made THAT decision got a nice hard slap upside the head.
Along with the guy you mentioned above (probably the same moron). The figure ROCKS!!!!!! Who the hell says? Didn't they learn ANYTHING by previous examples of bad articulation? I'd imagine it would be cheaper to just sell the podium alone and let US put whatever damn figure we want behind it.
I knew the movie line was gonna come along and kill the 25th anni. line of joes.
But what do we care for, because everybody always complains about figures being released. And then when Hasbro desides not to make anymore 25th anni. joes, then people complain about that.
So maybe this is a good thing, because now that 25th anni. is gonna be dead in less than a 1year from now there will be no more complaints in the forums.
I will not support the movie line of joes, you can but I will not.
Did it occur that the 2th line and the movie line can run togther, like the way the different TF lines run together?
The line was DESTINED To end. Finite. That was always a given. Irrespective of the movie. In fact, the movie is likely to UP the interest in the line, even if it sucks.
Jase - 2008-06-05 @ 6:32 pm
Stop being so logical Ken. @smilepunch@
ARROW - 2008-06-05 @ 5:00 pm
You've misread that.
The 25th Anniversary -STYLE figures WILL continue as part of a continued on-going line running concurrent with the movie figures. Once the movie merchandise has run its course, that "main" line will continue on featuring new figures in the style that is appearing now.
The ONLY thing about the 25th. Ann. line that is disappearing is the label " 25th Anniversary" on the packaging.
Think about it.........why continue to "celebrate" the 25th anniversary of something into the 26th, 27th, 28th years?

JoeBattlelines: We saw the Cobra Commander Comic Con exclusive, but we can't see his articulation because he's behind a podium. Does he have full GIJOE 25th anniversary articulation (ie: ball-jointed hips), or does he have more "Indiana Jones/Star Wars" articulation?
Hasbro: This figure has an Indy/SW articulation. The only way to do this figure was to share the tooling with Indy; but we accepted the change in style because the figure rocks and he was designed to stand at a podium so his waist articulation is less important.
JoeCustoms: Has any consideration ever been given to establishing a single figure style (our obvious bias being toward the 25th Anniversary style) that could be used across many of your 3 3/4" properties, enabling the designers to reuse certain body parts and accessories across lines where suitable, possibly saving the company money in molding/design/etc and allowing children and collectors to more easily "mix and match" figures from different lines?
Hasbro: We view each property or brand separately as each needs to be handled in a way that works best for the individual brands. We have no plans for a common format at this time.
Ummm, so I guess only on Joe exclusives they'll skimp and mix and match. @smilepunch@
DPrime - 2008-06-04 @ 10:42 pm
GIJCC Question 1: When can we expect the 25th Anniversary DUKE figure to have a fixed waist ?
Hasbro Answers: Would you settle for fixed arms? Seriously, thanks for the heads up, we will look into this.
... These were interesting.
Hoo-boy! That would be awesome.
The other figures (except Doc) would be easy to fix, if they'd just use the upper arms from the new Tiger Force Flint. They all needed a higher roll anyway, they can't get away with being sloppy like the first sergeant and medical officer.
Yes a tribute because the original Bludd did not have articulation in that arm. Why is this so hard to accept by some? It's like the V2 Snake Eyes not having Timber.
I don't even care about his metal arm - rework EVERYTHING ELSE! (except maybe the chest, which doesn't remind me of Zartan at all... which leads to another problem - ZARTAN!)
Seriously though, it sounds like Hasbro's listening at least! That's a good thing.
RobbieDigital - 2008-06-04 @ 9:32 pm
I was just reading the questions over at Hisstank.........it looks like the 25th/Modern era line will stop when the movie figures come out........with the Hall of Heroes being Hasbro's "Gift" to collectors to make way for the movie line. (Thats my wording, I didn't know what I could cut and paste)
I'd rather the "Gift" be them keeping the line going.........cause I'm not buyin any of the movie crap. I've never been into movie figures.......they are always sub-par for the most part and if they are based on the designs I've seen....... #yuk@#
Better grab that "Modern Era" stuff while ya can.......I knew the 25th/Modern stuff was too good to be true.
They may still put out characters in the movie line but I don't have high hopes for that.
I'm guessing you didn't understand what they said/ment.
The 25th Anniversary Line will end. Much like Spy Troops ended to make way for Valor vs. Venom.
The movie line is pretty much the same.
And for those of you who like a good laugh, read the JoeCustoms questions. The first one is the most hilarious! (if you've followed JC's attempt to ruin JoeCon)
I see what you're saying but I'm not buying it on Hasbro's end.
So the movie line will have figures based on the designs from the movie with an old school figure or 2 thrown in each wave??? Is that what they are getting at.......say for example Dusty is in the first movie wave..........will he be 25th style Dusty or will he be "movie" Dusty. To fit in with the rest of the line?
I can see them doing that.......not the way that most of us think.......like half the line will be movie figures and the other half will be old school 80's updates........I'll be VERY surprised if thats how its done.
I mean its not like toy companies usually do things to keep collectors happy........its usually ass-backwards. Cause you know the movie figures will be all over Wal-mart and Target when they hit. I just can't see them mixing the lines like that.......its either one or the other.
I want my "Modern Era" Dusty.......not "movie" Dusty. You know what I'm saying.
Blackmada - 2008-06-04 @ 3:31 pm
They will probaly make a second Steeler with the visor.
EvilStar - 2008-06-04 @ 2:14 pm
So it's official!
No effing visor for Steeler! This pi$$e$ me off totally! I feel like throwing out my whole collection.
I guess I'll just take the visor off my original Steeler and put it on this guy.
This TOTALLY sux!

Элете́р Ирене́ Дюпо́н (, 24 июня 1771 года, Париж — 31 октября 1834 года, Филадельфия, Пенсильвания) — химик и промышленник, основатель и первый президент DuPont.

Элетер Ирене родился в Париже в семье Пьера Самюэля Дюпона де Немура, известного французского экономиста и политического деятеля, представителя школы физиократов. В молодости работал вместе с Антуаном Лавуазье, у которого приобрёл навыки в работе с нитратами, что пригодилось ему при создании будущей корпорации. Так же он работал на производстве пороха и селитры.

Дюпоны поддержали Французскую революцию, но во время восстания 10 августа он вместе со своим отцом защищал Тюильри и королевскую семью от революционной толпы. От репрессий Дюпонов спас Термидорианский переворот. Во время фрюктидорского переворота в 1797 году дом Дюпонов был осаждён толпой. Это вынудило семейство эмигрировать за океан. Там Элетер Ирене создал в 1802 году компанию E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, сегодня ставшую гигантом DuPont. Строительство завода по производству пороха относится к 1802 году, а уже через два года Дюпоны продавали порох, сразу завоевав американский рынок благодаря отличному качеству своей продукции.

В последующие десятилетия спрос на порох Дюпонов рос год от года: он был нужен не только для военных действий, которые вела Америка, но и для бурно развивающегося национального хозяйства.

After a rocky launch back in 2016, Hello Games have been working hard on redeeming No Man's Sky into the game they initially intended to create. The developers released a two-year anniversary update back in July and have been adding regular new content including community missions and companion features alongside these larger overhauls. With the latest update, this exploration game will give players more to discover within its aquatic environments and upgraded visuals for a more aesthetic experience.
Dubbed The Abyss, players can dive to new depths and encounter curious creatures hiding on the ocean floor. Within this aquatic biome lies an underwater tale that exposes the darker side of No Man's Sky. The Dreams of the Deep will coerce explorers to discover sunken ruins far below the ocean's waves where ancient treasure awaits. Scavenge around the sea and you may even come across a rare star ship that has fallen from the skies; repair them and they'll fly once again.
As any scientist would know, the vast expanse of the ocean will require new technology to maximise exploration capabilities. The Abyss update will introduce the Nautilon, an Exocraft custom-made to navigate the watery depths, help you battle any dangerous creatures that cross your path and allow you to mine unique resources. Upgrade the Nautilon to master the unknowns of the ocean and customise your new Exocraft to add a little personality to your adventures.
We all know it's better down where it's wetter and the Hello Games team seem to agree with the addition of submersible building modules that allow you to build a shelter underwater. These base parts will be integral for deep sea exploration as they provide an escape from the pressure of the surrounding ocean while giving a beautiful view of its depths.
The Abyss update is now live and awaiting your exploration. Will you be discovering what lies beneath the surface? Let us know in the comments below!

After updating to maven 3.5.2 we encounter the following reproducible bug with multi module builds.
If one of the modules is a war module and depends on another module, the dependency module will not be included as a jar file in WEB-INF/lib of the war file, but as an empty directory instead. Non module dependencies will be included correctly.
<distributionManagement><site> element is present, so that release goals are "deploy site-deploy"
Please note that when running "mvn install" or "mvn deploy" the resulting war file is ok, while "mvn release:perform" creates corrupt files as described. Also, if javadoc-maven-plugin is not present in <reporting> block, the war file is fine, too.

The train departed on time and my seat had a reservation card attached to it. All four seats around the table were empty for the entire journey. Each seat had a tea cup, some complimentary peanuts and a menu card. I was originally facing the direction of travel, but the sun was shining directly into my eyes and so it was handy that the seat opposite was free. There are curtains, but I'm not sure what would happen if all four seats were occupied and one person wanted to close them.
The menu offered a chicken dish, a seafood pie and a vegetarian tartlet. Soon after departure, I was offered a cup of tea or coffee, water, biscuits and crisps. A while later, I was asked what I would like for dinner. I chose the seafood pie. "No seafood pie until we're past York as we've only got the one oven" was the reply. It was a bit disappointing to be given a menu of choice only to find that not all were available – I decided to have the chicken rather than wait.
I was offered wine, spirits, water and crisps throughout the journey which was nice. The chicken dish wasn't anything special but I wasn't really expecting anything special.
There were electrical sockets for phone and laptop charging and free wi-fi.
The train arrived on time and I enjoyed the journey.
The train departed on time and my seat had a reservation card attached to it. This time I was in a double seat, rather than a four, but the carriage was pretty empty and I could have moved. Nobody was opposite me. Each seat had a tea cup, no complimentary nuts or biscuits and a menu card.
The menu offered a only cold sandwiches – no hot food on Sundays, although I don't know why this should be. Soon after departure, I was offered a cup of tea or coffee, but no water, biscuits or crisps. Quite some time later, I was offered a choice of salmon or cheese sandwiches, plus crisps, biscuits and water. I asked about wine and was told that I would need to go to the buffet car. I'm still not sure why wine isn't complimentary on a Sunday, but I don't see why it can't be sold from the cart rather than me having to walk through a couple of carriages to queue and buy a bottle.
I was offered water and crisps throughout the journey, although not as often as on the outbound trip. The salmon sandwich wasn't really that great.
The train arrived on time. I didn't exactly suffer but it was disappointing after such an enjoyable outbound trip.
I think the price of £180 is high considering it is still just a train journey. I booked well in advance. It shouldn't be less expensive to hire a car and pay for petrol than take a train. For more than one person, driving is the obvious choice.


HUH? Yeah, Happy HALF-Valentine's-Day. It's been six months, and that's HALF a year (like a half birthday).
If you know me, you know I'm not actually particularly into Valentine's Day (or birthdays or really any of these "special" days). I'm not NOT into them. In fact, it's a goal of mine to try harder in that department. They're good excuses to be creative & loving. It's fun. I just naturally prefer random things (and days) to get excited about.
BUT, this past Valentine's day was special. Aki gave me the best present ever. He gave me THIS BLOG. He registered the name, picked a generic theme and told me it was mine. Six months and 1001 changes later, it is absolutely the gift that keeps giving. This blog has become a real part of my life. I don't know if I would have ever pulled the trigger and gotten started. I was too self-conscious, too private, too…not ready.
I love that Aki knows me and believes in me. I don't need extra things on "particular days." But Aki knows me and he believes in me and he likes "particular days." He knows that what I really desire (and what makes me happy) is to learn and to be creative.
For my 29th birthday he gave me my first nice camera. The following Christmas he gave me a 50mm lens for my camera. For Mateo's first birthday, he said I needed a regular babysitter so I could have time for myself. And this past Valentine's Day he gave me this blog.
So Happy HALF Valentine's Day everyone. And HAPPY SIX MONTH ANNIVERSARY, little blog.
THANK YOU (so, so much) to YOU GUYS who have been following along. Really. It's incredibly special (and amazing) to me to have you all on the other side of the screen. I love hearing from you and appreciate every visit. Thank you, thank you! On to the next Six months! It's QUITE a festive, "special day" celebration around here, isn't it?!

Resolution insurance has today launched a comprehensive marine insurance cover for importers, manufacturers and logistics providers. Dubbed 'Resolution Marine Cargo' the cover will offer affordable transit policy into the market that provides a one-stop shop solution for all marine insurance needs.
According to Resolution Insurance Group Chief Executive Officer Mr. Peter Nduati, the launch is in line with the insurer's business strategy on financial inclusion and deepening insurance penetration in the country.
"Resolution marine insurance will ease safety concerns of importers, manufacturers and logistics providers,'' Mr.Peter said during the launch in Mombasa.
The insurance cover features a comprehensive policy that insures goods against loss or damage, Caters for legal liabilities for general average and rescue where applicable whilst on transit by means of the specified conveyances (sea, air or land). This will depend on the geographical limits and conditions specified in the policy.
Speaking during the event, the Kenya Maritime Authority Acting Director General-Mr. Cosmas Cherop commended Resolution Insurance for demonstrating their willingness to tap into the rich marine industry adding that they are working to support the new product and ensure that the new Resolution Marine Cargo serves its intended purpose.
The move comes at a time when a new law compelling importers to buy a policy from local players came into effect in January 2017. The directive is seen as one meant to boost the insurance penetration in the country which currently stands at 3 per cent.

In China, another city has been sent into a lockdown after the occurrence of only a few coronavirus cases under the country's strict zero-Covid policy.
According to the authorities, the approximately 1 million inhabitants of the eastern Chinese city of Yuzhou in Henan province have only been allowed to leave their homes in exceptional circumstances since Monday evening.
In addition, mass tests were ordered for the entire population. The measures were decided after three local coronavirus infections occurred in the city.
Similar measures have been in place for almost two weeks in the Chinese metropolis of Xi'an, where the lockdown will not be lifted until there are no new infections.
China has largely got the virus under control by using a policy of dealing with infection clusters as soon as they emerge with strict control measures.
For more than a year, the pandemic situation in the People's Republic has been much better than in many other countries.
Nationwide, 108 new coronavirus cases were reported on Tuesday, most of them in Xi'an. Compared to the previous week, however, the number of new infections there has declined somewhat.

A week or so ago there was a nice story on "Global News" in Canada. You can see it here. (Sorry, I was not able to embed the video. Also, I'm afraid there is an ad you have to sit through first.) A bit of a fluff piece and filler, but I thought both of the people interviewed (Barefoot Moe and Dale Blacker) did a very nice job talking about some of the issues that concern people.
One nice thing about the interview is that, at the end, Dale did manage to get the reporter to try walking around the city street a bit. I really think that lends an air of authenticity; it shows that going barefoot is not that big a deal and that anybody can do it.
Quite a few years back, I was in a story about barefoot hiking, along with fellow blogger Greg Morgan. For the life of us, we could not get the reporter to hike along with us barefoot. He said that he was game, but that the folks in his office told him he shouldn't "for insurance reasons." We all know that that is just bunk, but we could not sway him. Nonetheless, a pretty nice story came out of it, which you can see here.
Daniel Howell, author of The Barefoot Book, was on the Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC on October 19. As to be expected, Daniel did a great job.
I thought Ratigan rather over-hyped it, and really tried to go for the sensational. However, Daniel kept his cool throughout. When Ratigan asked about those "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" signs, it was great that Daniel, right off the bat, called them "unwelcoming." Because that is what they are. And then Daniel went on to discuss how the signs were a remnant of anti-hippie sentiment.
Another point that was interesting was how there is some evidence that walking around in the dirt may raise serotonin levels, thus improving our mood.
The last question was rather amusing (and many of us barefooters have gotten the same or similar question): "What does your mother think about this?" As he says, those around us get used to it.
There is a great write-up from John Yohe at John's Barefoot Running Blog on his running the Detroit Marathon barefooted. I really don't know how he managed to reproduce his thoughts from the time, but it is a great read.
Here are a few snippets, but go read the whole thing.
I'm exhausted already. I had to get up at four o'clock in order to drive from Jackson to be here in Detroit at six. The race is at seven, and already parking is congested. But I fine a good spot, close to the finish for a quick get away. The one time I decided to actually get a hotel room the night before, planning way ahead so as to ensure getting a room, the hotel goes out of business a month before. Ok, well, that'll save me a hundred buck, but man, seeing as how I was nervous the night before, I'm not running on much sleep.
And oh yes, the comments on my feet are happening all the time. More gasps. More, "That guy doesn't have any shoes!' said from ten feet behind me. I wish people would at least acknowledge that I can hear them. But, I do have to say that I might have been wrong about me being the first most people have heard about barefoot running. I'm getting lots of "Good job barefoot runner!" comments as well, meaning that people know the phrase "barefoot runner," meaning that the idea, the concept now exists in the mainstream, as a 'meme,' meaning that, if people know the term, it may be coming into more widespread acceptance. That's my theory anyways.
And how did he do at the end?
This is the time of year when many park districts and State Park system put on organized hikes to view the fall foliage. If you like barefoot hiking, these are wonderful opportunities not only to do a very nice hike, but also to be a bit of an ambassador of bare feet. Just showing other people that it is possible to do these hikes can help open up some minds.
I did two such hikes last weekend; the group size was around 30 people. Today I did another one, with a groups size of around 100 people. Many folks didn't say much, but nonetheless quite a few were bold enough to ask questions, and I was able to give them a feel for the experience. There were two lines in particular that I used a fair bit, and they seemed to be able to relate to them.
Just like any other part of the body, when you use them, the feet strengthen up.
We go into the woods to see the sights, hear the sounds, and smell the smells, and then we turn off our sense of touch.
And from there I could talk about the joy of moss or pine needles or hemlock needles or fallen leaves. They got it.
Things were a bit different this year than last year. Quite a few folks knew about barefoot running, so I didn't seem quite as odd as I have in years past). Many of them had heard about or actually read Born to Run. I even talked to one guy who was going to run in the Columbus Marathon tomorrow who said he did a bit of barefoot training. There were also quite a few people who had seen Dual Survival, so they were up on the idea of hiking barefoot. I had nice discussions with them about it.
One other thing that always happens on these hikes: there are inevitably some older folks (well, older than me, but these days that is harder and harder to do) who will tell me that, as a kid, their shoes came off the last day of school and stayed off until the first day of school in the fall. They ran around barefoot all summer long and didn't have any problems. But then they'd say, "But I could never do that now." Why not? Just like any other part of the body, when you use them, the feet strengthen up. Even if you are older.

Former Sheffield United striker Ched Evans wins appeal, must face retrial
Jonny Gorrie
Former Sheffield United striker Ched Evans has won his appeal against his rape cause, according to the BBC.
The Welsh forward was jailed in 2012 after previously being found guilty of the offence and was released in October 2014 after serving half of his five-year sentence.
Having always denied the charge, the former Manchester City youngster brought his claims to the Court of Appeal, believing he was wrongfully convicted.
Now, he has seen his previous conviction quashed but will face have to face a retrial.
'In summary, we have concluded that we must allow the appeal and that it is in the interests of justice to order a retrial', said Lady Justice Hallett upon the verdict.
The case will now be sent back to Crown Court in order to be looked at again.
Evans has struggled to get back into football ever since, with Oldham Athletic receiving major backlash when they opened talks to sign him back in early 2015.
Can this offer a route back to football for Evans, depending on his retrial?
