TRANSIT recently took note of a proposal from Jema Khan that the government offer free public transport in the urban areas of the Klang Valley. The original article and our comments were posted here.
Jema suggests that we can start by introducing “free” bus service in the urban areas of KL. Indeed, “free” zones are seen in many cities to encourage local public transport trips. The closest example of a “free” zone is in Perth, Australia (as opposed to a “free” shuttle bus – which can be found in Perth & Penang – among others).
So we spent a few moments thinking about how we could make a “free” public transport service available in Kuala Lumpur – considering, of course, the various factors about public transport in Kuala Lumpur, challenges that would be faced, facilities available, etc.
This is what we came up with:
One way to introduce “free” public transport in KL would be to provide a “free” City Shuttle bus service within the Kuala Lumpur urban area – basically, inside the MRRi (Jalan Tun Razak, Lebuhraya Mahameru, Jalan Istana).
In order to make this work, we must preserve the existing terminals at Putra, Pasaramakota, KL Sentral, Pekeliling, Pasar Rakyat, and Hang Tuah for stage bus uses. As you know, some of these terminals will be shut down as the Integrated Transport Terminals in Gombak (for Eastbound/East coast-bound express buses) and Sg. Buloh (for Northbound express buses) are built.
The key detail will be to limit the presence of stage bus routes within the city by ensuring that they only drop off passengers at designated sites, then proceed to designated terminals at the edges of the city (near the MRRI) where they can pick up passengers. These terminals can also be used as holding areas and staging areas for city buses (instead of the area streets that are currently used).
City Shuttle Bus Service
RapidKL (and other bus companies under contract) would provide the free “City Shuttle” bus service which would link the urban areas to the terminals – ideally criss-crossing the city with buses.
Stage buses would drop off passengers within the city (Kota Raya, Chow Kit, KLCC, Pudu, Bukit Bintang) that they traditionally drop off passengers at. This would allow a convenient trip in the morning peak and passenger could get to their destinations sooner.
Then, the stage buses would make their way to the nearest “pinggiran” terminal at the edge of the city.
Hentian Putra would service buses from Chow Kit (Jalan Ipoh & Jalan Kuching corridors). Hentian Pekeliling would service buses from Jalan Pahang, Gombak & Genting Klang corridors. KL Sentral or Pasaramakota (Klang bus stand) would service buses from Kota Raya (Federal Highway & Jalan Klang Lama/Jalan Puchong corridors). Hentian Pasar Rakyat or the Hang Tuah bus terminal would service buses from Bukit Bintang (Jalan Loke Yew, Jalan Cheras corridors), and KLCC or Dang Wangi would service buses from Jalan Ampang, etc.
We must continue to allow stage buses into KL but we cannot allow them to continue waiting on KL streets in a manner that causes congestion & inconvenience. In addition, stage buses on streets have no holding areas or operations facilities.
By allowing stage buses to drop off passengers in KL, this provides a convenient service and gets people to their destinations on time (especially during the compressed morning peak).
By forcing stage buses to wait at the bus terminals, this would get rid of a perpetual sore in the urban areas of KL – the city buses sitting around the urban areas, causing traffic congestion. It would also provide staging facilities (offices, toilets, surau, control centre) for bus operators – facilities which currently do not exist.
By providing free City Shuttle bus service, it would encourage public transport users during the daytime hours as well as in the afternoon peak. And since the afternoon peak is less compressed (as fewer people are moving during the peak hours), public transport users may be inclined to stay at the terminals or stay in the city for the evening.
In order to get funding for the “free” City Shuttle bus, a congestion charge can be introduced for travel inside the MRRI – once additional buses are made available (so the waiting time is no more than 5 minutes).
Drivers who have to drive into KL will either choose to pay the charge or park at various parking facilities (including the proposed terminals) to use the free City Shuttle and avoid the congestion charge.
Of course, parking and tolls should be structured so that parking charges are highest inside the MRRI, somewhat lesser at the edge, and much lower at the outskirts. This would encourage more passengers to carpool or use public transport – whether stage buses, LRT, and the MRT and proposed Bus-Rapid Transit services – for their trips into KL.
As always we want to know what you think about these crazy proposals that come from TRANSIT. Please email us or comment in the space below. Thank you!
13 replies on “Making KL “free at last” (for public transport, at least)”
let me try to understand here what you are proposing. there are many threads your proposal here
1) stage buses are to drop off passengers at the at Kota Raya / Chow Kit / KLCC, Pudu / Bukit Bintang and then proceed to the pinggiran terminals
2) free “City Shuttle” bus service which would link the urban areas to the terminals
3) the free City Shuttle bus would be paid for by the various measures that you propose
perhaps you can map out your suggestion here as it would be clearer then as where the trunk routes are, and the last mile connectors are at for what you are suggesting. it can be just a scanned picture with broad lines etc.
i still stand by my earlier arguments that free buses are not the answer here as the greater need is to ensure bus timeliness, accessibility, safety, comfort but let’s look at your route proposal here first
Thanks for the feedback. We will try to produce the map as soon as possible – but keep in mind that it will not be in great detail, just showing the major “pinggiran” terminals, drop off areas, and connecting routes.
We generally do not agree with free bus service except where it can be a way to embellish & enhance good bus service. Clearly, there would be a need to improve the standards of existing bus services first.
Having stage buses waiting at terminals would do a lot to reduce congestion in the city, which would in turn speed up the movement of City Shuttle buses and taxis. This would encourage more people to use public transport to get into the city (since they have a fast, reliable alternative to driving), which would act to reduce congestion even more.
We need to encourage people to use public transport by giving them the confidence that the experience will be quick, comfortable and relatively convenient.

There must be a catch or “trap” somewhere, don’t be too happy so early!!
A Catch or trap? What are you referring to? We have been quite open that the plan for a Free City Shuttle Bus service in KL’s core zone will also involve a congestion charge for drivers entering KL.
Regards, Moaz for TRANSIT
Whilst I agree we need to address bus congestion in city n therefore to hv bus terminal at outskirts – one possible objection is the distance btw the terminal n drop off stop. Say if the bus drops off passenger at KLCC n then to proceed to the terminal, the bus would be empty on the way to the terminal. So what happens is bus is full from pick up point till drop off point n then empty to the terminal. Vice versa, during peak hour to pick up passenger at KLCC. Empty buses contribute to jam, inefficient use of fuel etc. That’s why we need to map out the distance for better assessment
You are correct that distance between terminals would be an issue for passengers. For operators it would be less of an issue – since those terminals would be a proper staging area with proper facilities.
In most cases the stage buses wait around their unofficial pick up & drop off points for significant periods of time before moving on. That is hardly efficient either.
We will definitely get a map showing the locations of terminals and drop-off points posted by the end of Monday. The diagram will have routes but those will be suggestions only.

Hi William et al
I did say we would try to have a map ready by the end of Monday, but it looks like I am going to have to push that off for a few days.
I’ve got some family concerns that I have to take care of immediately. Once everything is taken care of I will do my best to get things done as and when I said.

If you grow up in a shaddy wooden plank house where it can even wobble when you kick it, where you still need to use well water. Hardly any electricity appliances in the house except for a few lousy fans, lights and a half past six radio, no TV at all. You even need to “tumpang” (use) neighbour’s fridge to put your food. Your father will lecture you for three to four days for being not thrifty just because FOUR siblings sharing a packet of char kuey teow/ais kacang (ABC) , where you have to walk to school. Once in a while got people mocking you for being poor. Then you come and tell me the reasons that why we should trust this world very much. That is why I never believe this kind of “FREE” things. The world is REAL and CRUEL, all the charity and free stuff for me it’s nothing but all kinds of gimmicks/shenanigans!!
Life isn’t supposed to be fair, is it?
But perhaps you have a point – the service is not really “free” as someone has to pay for it somehow.
So in future we can refer to “free” public transport services as “no-fare” public transport services.
And since many of the services are offered as a perq for “privileged” property owners and shoppers, we can also refer to them as “no-fair” public transport services – until we get decent public transport service in the Klang Valley.
Regards, Moaz for TRANSIT
Free?? This is out of the world. Many says the cheap KTMB fares resulted in KTM trains packed like sardine, If free, i think we can see commuters hanging on the windows or roof, just like in india..
You should know that many people can say many things. We says that Komuter trains are packed like sardines because the service is carrying 3x the number of passengers using 1/3 of the original fleet. We try to stick to simple explanations for the problems with public transport – it’s much easier that way.
The only way we are going to get people to stop driving to KL is to present them with an alternative – and the only way we are going to get buses to stop causing congestion parking around urban areas is to push them into an alternative.
This proposal finds ways to resolve many existing and future public transport issues.
Regards. Moaz for TRANSIT
no worries Moaz. families come first.
[…] have already proposed that Hentian Putra be reused as a park & ride facility, serving the west side Kuala Lumpur’s urban centre, as well as a staging area for stage buses […]

Entering the last weekend of July, the hottest month of the year so far has provided some major heat “Inside The Gates” of the Goodman League at Barry Farms in Southeast, D.C.
With the playoffs set to start in two weeks, teams are looking to claim their dominance. Two undefeated teams are set to play on the evening of July 31, and there’s also a 5-1 team on a hot run. Along with sleepers and potential upsets, the Goodman League playoffs picture is full of storylines.
Lincoln Park and the Drew All-Stars remain undefeated and will play each other July 31. The game was originally scheduled for July 25, but postponed due to potential thunderstorms. Both teams are riding a wave of momentum going into the playoffs. Lincoln Park has been grinding out wins like a factory, knocking off Team Funkhouse, Team Ariyuan, Team BF Crazies, and Team Showstoppers, just to name a few.
The reigning Goodman League MVP, Dele Ojo, is “Mr. Everything” for Lincoln Park, contributing on both sides of the floor by guarding the opposing team’s best player and taking on the scoring load. His brother in the backcourt, Bruce Massey, has also been playing great this summer, making them one of the best, if not the best, backcourt inside the gates. The new addition to the team, Zaire “Zeke” Hearst, is the wild card Lincoln Park needed last summer.
As for the Drew All-Stars, they have one of the most complete units “Inside the Gates.” Coach Drew made some changes prior to this summer and the biggest was adding Jimmy Black Jr. to the squad. Jimmy Black is the definition of a scoring point guard. He can shoot it from deep, but also can get inside the paint. Christian “Super Boo” Jackson is the inside presence on offense despite only being 6-foot, 3-inches.
The Drew All-Stars are coming off of a big win against Team Madness, erasing a 12-point deficit thanks to Nate “Old Man Game” Flowers, who went on a personal 9-0 run to help win the game. They also have wins against Team Ariyuan, Team Showstoppers, and Team BF Crazies.
It will be interesting to see how both teams will approach this game. Both have great units and coaches. One team likes to run, while the other likes the half-court game. Both have strong backcourts with good scorers.
Meanwhile, Team Funkhouse is working on a spot in the regular season title game. The Piranhas are led by Justin Black, who has played out of his mind this summer. Black has scored 25 or more points in each of his last two games, recently dropping 33 against the BF Crazies. Team Funkhouse’s main staple is its defense. They can create problems for any backcourt with their heavy pressure and physical play. Two of their players, known only as “PiGG” and Daryl, are the best defenders on the team, and are the ones that set up fast-break opportunities for Jaron “J-Roc” Jackson and Black.
What makes FunkHouse dangerous is the newly acquired Trevelin “The Real Deal” Queen, who has only played two games in the Goodman League this summer but has already created a buzz for himself. In his first game against Team DMV All-Stars, he faced two good players in Aquille “Crime Stopper” Carr and “White Chocolate” and still shined. Queen scored 27 points with a few big dunks. In his second game, Queen scored 18 points, including 10 in overtime, against Team BF Crazies. Only 19 years old, Queen makes FunkHouse—a team that has always been a contender for the Goodman Title—a bonafide favorite.
As for the rest of the league, a few teams are just one wild card player away from being a favorite. The defending champ, Team Madness, has some good wins, but tough losses also. They only returned Chris Howard and Andrew “Spongebob” Washington from last season, going through a summer full of roster changes that has haunted them. It will be interesting to see who Larry Madness and Coach Herb will call on for the playoffs.
BF Crazies started off hot but has fizzled out over the last two weeks. The Crazies started the summer off 4-0, but recently fell to Lincoln Park and FunkHouse. Former Duke star Quinn Cook is expected to play with the Crazies once the playoffs start, but we will have to wait to see if former NBA guard Josh Selby will return.
Team Geo Metro, Team Ariyuan, Team Sam’s Ballers, and Team DMV All-Stars could also make a deep run in the postseason, but they will need one or two more pieces. I expect a couple of these teams to bring in some players to compete for a title—but will it be enough? August will be another hot month so stay tuned!

Norfolk MP urges prime minister to support carers
- Credit: UK Parliament
A Norfolk MP has called on the government to implement a 10-year social care plan and show support for carers.
North Norfolk MP Duncan Baker said the country owed an enormous debt to carers, including unpaid and young carers, for their tireless work throughout the pandemic, when he raised the issue at Prime Minister’s Questions.
He said: “Yet these professions often feel forgotten about - this needs to change.
“Will the PM commit to a 10-year plan for social care to match the one for the NHS, as the foundation to start reforming social care in this country?”
In response, prime minister Boris Johnson paid tribute to all those working in social care in Norfolk and across the UK, saying “they have got us through this pandemic”.
You may also want to watch:
He added: “We must continue to look after them in any way we can and we must commit, as we have done, to reforming the sector, giving people the certainty that they need.”
Mr Johnson said the government would be putting forward proposals later this year.

It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter in Michigan, even though we haven’t had our share of snow this year. The blizzard began in early January, when the Michigan Department of Education announced plans to drop the ACT as the statewide college readiness exam. Within hours, school officials—largely district superintendents—were throwing themselves in front of every TV camera in the state, making bold proclamations that all sounded the same:
“Well, if the state is going to require our kids to take the SAT, it’s about time our state colleges started accepting the SAT as part of their freshman application process.”
There is no doubt these spokespersons are sincere, well-meaning educators who are very busy people. Having said that, how long would it have taken to call someone in their district who works more closely with college admission—say, a school counselor—and ask “The state is changing to the SAT. Is that going to hurt our kids?”
There is nothing like knowing what you don’t know.
The avalanche has turned into light flurries, but it’s still enough to make a counselor feel snowbound. Just the other day, a school principal supported the test change by saying “Think of the opportunities this creates for students to look at colleges beyond Michigan”, assuming that colleges beyond our borders had never heard of the ACT, let alone knew what to do with the scores.
This entire test-switching adventure is a gentle reminder of two keys in college counseling. First, it is always important to challenge the assumptions of our students. How many students come through our doors having picked up the idea that they aren’t “college material”, making it that much harder for them to understand all of the options available to them after high school?
This is especially true when it comes to college costs. Too many students limit themselves to the schools they think they can afford, when a full exploration of college options can turn up scholarships or other programs that make dream schools affordable, as long as the student is willing to look.
Second, it is essential to begin college awareness at an early age. Attitudes about college costs and the “right” kinds of college begin early in our society; this is why applications for admission always increase at whatever college wins the football national championship. By talking to 7th and 8th grade families about college options and costs, counselors are giving students the tools to evaluate options after high school that put their interests, talents, and needs at the center of the search. That’s the best way to make sure students are asking assumption-free questions.
Counselors looking for a college curriculum that makes sense to 7th graders can turn to the National Association for College Admission Counseling. Their Step by Step curriculum walks students and parents through the college exploration process from grades 7-11, and includes downloadable Power Points in English and Spanish—all for free. No curriculum will make sure every student has an assumption-free college search, but NACAC offers a tried and true way to keep most students and families on the straight and narrow, no matter what college test they take.

The other night we put Parker to bed and quickly realized that his stuffed animal, Curious George, was missing. Normally Parker won’t even close his eyes without George, but because he was so tired he fell asleep within minutes. Bethany and I gave the house a quick search, but ended up empty handed. I figured that Parker would sleep through the night, wake up and eventually find where he put him the next day.
Good plan…until about an hour later when Parker woke up and with a groggy voice began to cry out “George? Where are you, George?” I quickly ran up to comfort him because I knew that if he fully woke up, we’d never get him back to bed without that dumb monkey. I gave him “Joe”, another stuffed monkey from his aunt and to my surprise, it satisfied him enough to help him close his eyes and go back to sleep.
As I went downstairs, I couldn’t help but hear my son’s crying out for his monkey. “George?” was ringing in my head.
I started looking.
Bethany had heard Parker’s request and she joined in the hunt, both of us with a renewed sense of purpose. Several minutes later, Bethany pried George out from the bottom of Kent’s toy basket. We both presented the monkey to our groggy son who gratefully accepted his “friend” into his arms.
So, back to the beginning. In my last blog I question whether I have the right to ask for God to fix the situations that I often create. Parker created this situation by being careless with George and not taking care of him. It was his fault, his problem, his loss. Yet as a father, all I wanted to do was help my son and to bring him happiness and contentment so he could have a good night sleep.
There certainly are times when we need to be quiet and listen. But what amazes me is that when we do open up and voice our requests/needs/longings, our Father in heaven responds.

Tech companies are trying to convince us that we need more gadgets and more screens at home. But today at Google’s yearly hardware event, the company took a slightly different tack. Along with announcing a new smart speaker with a screen, Google also showed off a small device that might just render that screen obsolete: A wireless charger than doubles as a phone stand called the Pixel Stand.
This isn’t just a wireless charger. When you place the new Pixel 3 phone on it, the phone’s entire UI reorients, effectively turning Pixel 3 into a Google Assistant-enabled smart speaker. With the Pixel Stand, you don’t need to buy the new $149 Google Home Hub because your phone does most of the same things anyway, including giving you contextual information based on what time of day it is. In the morning, it’ll offer the rundown of your day, which you can access through a single tap or by asking with your voice; in the evening, it might instead show a shortcut to search for recipes.
“We want to give people choices,” says Ivy Ross, Google’s VP of hardware design. “Someone that might not want to have a Hub in every room. This is a beautiful way to do more than one thing at once.”
Because the design team learned that many people leave their phones on their nightstand to charge, the Stand enables a new setting in the Pixel 3 that mimics sunrise alarm clocks, slowly turning the screen from deep red to a bright yellow to wake you up. Google also designed the charger so that you can set up your preferences based on how you want to use it: For instance, setting the Pixel to charge on your nightstand could automatically show pictures of your family, while putting it on a charger at work might show more landscape photos.
By changing the UI and encouraging users to treat it like a smart speaker, the Stand also solves a fundamental problem that other mat wireless chargers have–that you can’t use the phone much while it’s down on the table if you want it to charge.
The $79 charger probably won’t receive the same brouhaha as the other new products Google announced today, but it represents a significant shift: Google is recognizing that you don’t necessarily need more screens in your life besides the one that already lives with you constantly. “If you don’t want to buy anymore, you can make that phone work harder for you and magically morph it into a different kind of service while it’s charging,” Ross says.
The charger is designed to make that screen as useful as possible, potentially cannibalizing Google’s other products in the process. Maybe the Google Home Hub is suited to a larger family, but for individuals who want some of the most-used, basic conveniences of the smart speaker–like asking about the weather, the time, setting timers, and playing music–the Pixel 3 plus the charger can cover all your bases. There’s really only one thing the Pixel plus Stand probably can’t do as well: music. And for that, Google has you covered with its speakers.
“This is a great double purpose for a phone. You already have a screen,” Ross says. “In the future, we’ll do more things with less.”

Auditory saccades from different eye positions in the monkey: implications for coordinate transformations.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Auditory spatial information arises in a head-centered coordinate frame, whereas the saccade command signals generated by the superior colliculus (SC) are thought to specify target locations in an eye-centered frame. However, auditory activity in the SC appears to be neither head- nor eye-centered but in a reference frame that is intermediate between both of these reference frames. This neurophysiological finding suggests that auditory saccades might not fully compensate for changes in initial eye position. Here, we investigated whether the accuracy of saccades to sounds is affected by initial eye position in rhesus monkeys. We found that, on average, a 12 degrees horizontal shift in initial eye position produced only a 0.6 to 1.6 degrees horizontal shift in the endpoints of auditory saccades made to targets at a range of locations along the horizontal meridian. This shift was similar in size to the modest influence of eye position on visual saccades. This virtually complete compensation for initial eye position implies that auditory activity in the SC is read out in a manner that is appropriate for generating accurate saccades to sounds.

Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie celebrated their new smash hit single “ME!” together for debut live performance on television tonight on the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), opening the show with a showstopping performance, complete with colorful light poles. The song and performance was very playful, vibrant and pastel color-filled. Their performance included the props from her “ME!” music video with an incredible ending to the performance gliding atop the crowd floating on an umbrella chair as pastel confetti showered the crowd. They recreated their music video for the new song.
Their BBMAs collaborative performance was teased by Swift and Urie as Swift unveiled a vertical music video which was a self-recorded rehearsals performance with the two stars.
Swift is a 23-time Billboard Music Award winner, the most of any artist in BBMA history and this performance marked her first time performing on the award show since 2013, when Swift performed “22” on the show. This year Swift is nominated for two nominations including ‘Top Female Artist’ and ‘Top Touring Artist.’ Urie is also nominated for a couple of Billboard Music Awards with his band Panic! At The Disco being nominated for ‘Top Rock Album’ and ‘Top Rock Song’ for their song “High Hopes.” See the full list of nominations and winners of BBMAs, HERE.
The music video for their song “ME!” has broken VEVO records shattering the previous record held by Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” of 59 million views in a 24-hour period with Swift’s video amassing over 65 million views in 24-hours. Currently amassing over 118 million just under a week after its release which is breathtakingly amazing.

ALTHOUGH pelvic endometriosis is a relatively common condition, pain resulting from endometriosis but simulating orthopedic conditions is rare. In addition, the problems of diagnosis increase greatly when extrapelvic endometriosis is not associated with the classic findings of pelvic endometriosis. Perhaps two of the greatest aids to diagnosis are an awareness of the cyclic pattern of pain in association with menstruation, and an acquaintance with some of the bizarre pain patterns associated with this condition.
The following report presents the findings of endometriosis involving the region of the symphysis pubis in a woman who had undergone hysterectomy three years previously. Pain in the left pubic and inguinal regions with radiation to the left sacroiliac region, in the absence of menstruation or of pelvic findings of endometriosis, suggested an abnormality of the bony pelvis.

The apparent stability of urbanized portions of the coast of the northeastern US belies a much longer history of intertwined geomorphological and ecological change. Herein, I compare and contrast a set of 100 maps and charts from 1501 to 1844 of Jamaica Bay, a coastal lagoon located on the southeastern side of New York City. These documents, while requiring careful interpretation and appreciation for historical context, appear to suggest in series that Jamaica Bay was formerly much more open, without the marsh islands that are today the subject of intense scrutiny and restoration. I present a hypothesis regarding the east-to-west progression of the Rockaway Peninsula that in turn led to salt marsh formation in the interior of the bay approximately 200–230 years ago. This cartographic-driven hypothesis is supported by discussion of independent observations from soil cores taken in Jamaica Bay marsh islands. The paper concludes with brief remarks on the relevance of a long-term historical perspective for contemporary restoration and resilience efforts.

Speaking at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters draw ceremony where it was revealed he could face Roberto Bautista Agut in the second round, Rafael Nadal was asked about his health. And our champ gave an honest response about his trials and tribulations:
It’s true the beginning of the season has been a little bit tough for me in terms of physical problems. I went through some hard times, being honest.
This is always tough accept like when another thing happened in Indian Wells but the only way is to keep going, keep trying with passion and even if sometimes it’s tough to accept and tough to wake up again and stand up again and try to be back.
Here I am and I had these couple of days, hopefully I start on Wednesday so I have a few days to practice.
For me, it is the most comfortable tournament of the year in terms of everything.
The organisation, the facilities, everything is so easy so I feel a little bit at home. The beautiful Mediterranean sea just in front, I come from an island so I appreciate it more. I’m very happy to be back.
When I talk about comfortable, I don’t speak about tennis. I mean normal life. It’s one of the most important events for me of the year without a doubt so for me to start well here means a lot and gives me a lot of confidence to keep going.
When I play this tournament, I only think about this tournament and nothing else.

|Animal ID: Courtesy PostTahoe (male)|
Tahoe is a 3 year old AKC registered Black Tri Male Australian Shepherd. He was born on 04-04-2014 and left his breeder at 5 mos to live with his new owners and their male Aussie/BC who is 1 1/2 years older than he is. Tahoe gets along very well with his 'brother' and his 'parents' and anyone else that he knows and trusts. He has always been an anxious pup. His owners have worked with him for 3 years to teach him that strangers are not going to hurt him but he has a bad habit of running through his invisible fence and charging at strangers with his wild barking. His 'parents' have decided that the time has come for Tahoe to find a new home. He has been living on 3 acres with a pond and comes inside to the basement when the weather is bad. He is VERY fast and can get away from you if not leashed or within a fenced area. His favorite thing is to lean into his owners and get butt rubs. He is very much a velcro dog. He does not show any interest in chasing balls. He does play well with his 'brother'. Tahoe needs an owner who can give him plenty of exercise and to let him know that he is not the boss. He does well out in public and enjoys car rides, going to the groomer, and to his boarding facility. He is just a nervous guy when exposed to the unknown. Tahoe is microchipped, neutered, and fully vetted. If you are interested in making Tahoe part of your family, please email Mary at: firstname.lastname@example.org (Less)

Tahoe is a nervous boy and does not do well with strangers until they earn his trust. He has a very aggressive bark but we are told it is not ferocious.

He's protective of his territory but does well off property at the vet, groomer, and while boarding. He plays well with other dogs and wants nothing more than a butt rub and lots of love.

A federal high court in Port Harcourt has given a judgement restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from presenting Tonye Cole and Magnus Abe as governorship candidates in the general elections.
The judgement was delivered on Monday.
Cole is the preferred candidate of Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transport, while Abe is the senator representing Rivers south-east.
The court also nullified all direct and indirect primaries conducted by both factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
While delivering the judgement, James Omotosho, the judge, said none of the primaries were conducted according to the law.
Following the ruling, the APC no longer has candidates for the governorship, senate, house of representatives, and state house of assembly elections.

Set to arrive 50 years to the date of the band’s first live show – as The New Yardbirds – in Gladsaxe, Denmark in 1968, “The Song Remains The Same” soundtrack will be available via multiple formats, plus the full album’s debut release in Hi-Res 5.1 surround sound on Blu-ray. As a preview to the release, Led Zeppelin are streaming live audio of their remastered 1971 classic, “Rock And Roll”, it’s available to listen below!
It’s also the first time the full-length film and soundtrack have been released in the same package. Led Zeppelin was at the peak of their powers on July 27-29 1973 when the band’s performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden were recorded for the concert film, The Song Remains The Same. The soundtrack to the film, produced by Jimmy Page, was originally released on Swan Song in 1976. The remastered live version brings out Page’s guitar with full force:
The band continues revisiting their live canon on September 7th with a new edition of the soundtrack to The Song Remains The Same that features newly remastered audio. This release follows the recent reissue of their live album How The West Was Won, and rounds out the deluxe reissue series of their classic albums that began in 2014, building to the band’s 50th-anniversary celebration slated to commence later this year.
The Song Remains The Same will be released in multiple formats from Atlantic/Swan Song, including the full album’s debut in hi-res 5.1 surround sound on Blu-ray. The Super Deluxe Boxed Set will be the most exquisite and elaborate release in the reissue series, recreating the intricate embossing of the set’s original issue and will also mark the first time the full-length film and soundtrack have been available in the same package. On the 4-LP set, Page made a change to the track sequence, allowing the epic, 29-minute version of ‘Dazed And Confused’ to be featured in its entirety on one side of vinyl for the first time.

And 17% on the closed side and 36% on the open side said it was easy to get alcohol.
The inspectors said the figures were much higher than they see in comparable prisons.

peace. It is totally ridiculous that a mini state with just over 5 million jewish inhabitants is allowed by the internatinal community (that is the USA and the west) to have atomic weapons, while in the same time a country like Iran with more than tentimes the number of inhabitants is denied to take counter action in the form of a nuclear program against the Israeli atomic wormongers. Do five million jews have more rights than 50 million Iranians? It sounds reasonable to me that Israel should give up its nuclear weapons, and signs the non proliferation treaty, if they want to denie other countries in the region the right of a nuclear program.

Alcohol is never far from sporting events. Although popular thinking on the effects of drinking has changed considerably over time, throughout history sport and alcohol have been intimately linked. The Victorians, for example, believed that beer helped to build stamina, whereas today any serious athlete must abstain from the 'demon drink'. Yet despite current prohibitions and the widespread acceptance of alcohol's deleterious effects, the uneasy alliance of sport with alcohol remains culturally entrenched. It is common for sporting celebrities to struggle with alcoholism, and teams are often encouraged to 'bond' by drinking together. Indeed, many of today's major sporting sponsors are breweries and manufacturers of alcoholic drinks.
From hooliganism to commerce, from advertising and sponsorship to health and fitness, if there is one thing that brings athletes, fans and financial backers together it must be beer. This cultural history of drinking and sport examines the roles masculinity, class and regional identity play in alcohol consumption at a broad range of matches, races, courses and competitions. Offering a fresh perspective on the culture and commerce of sporting events, this book will be essential reading for cultural historians, anthropologists and sociologists, and anyone interested in sport.

Transfer news: Chelsea take tough stance over Manchester United's interest in Juan Mata
Published: 21 January 2014
Updated: 14:30, 21 January 2014
Chelsea are reluctant to sell Juan Mata to a Premier League rival while the fallout from their failed attempt to sign Wayne Rooney in the summer is another major obstacle to the midfielder joining Manchester United.
Mata has been on the fringes of the team under Jose Mourinho this season and has not played since his angry reaction to being substituted at Southampton on New Year’s Day.
The 25-year-old is not happy and needs regular football to cement a place in Spain’s World Cup squad but there are complications to a January move.
United are interested but Chelsea would prefer to sell abroad if Mata pressed for a transfer. The London club are also conscious it would be a gamble losing him as an injury to Oscar, Willian or Eden Hazard would leave them short in the attacking midfield role.
It is difficult to see a motive for Chelsea to sell — and thus give United manager David Moyes a potential lifeline — unless such a deal is contingent on Rooney heading to Stamford Bridge.
But United consider last summer’s dispute with Mourinho over Rooney to be a major impediment to an attempt to sign Mata and do not intend to sell the striker as part of any deal.
United have indicated only that they have not yet bid for Mata — leaving open the prospect of a move in the next 48 hours — but there is no optimism at Old Trafford that they can persuade the Blues to do a straight cash deal.
United will not sell Rooney as he is considered a key part of the rebuilding job at Old Trafford — especially if Moyes’s side slip out of the Champions League next season. The club may be prepared to allow his contract to run down and take the hit on losing him for a minimal sum in 2015.
The difficulty persuading world-class players to drop to Europa League football means they are unlikely to replace Rooney with a better player next summer, if they fail to make the Champions League.
Gary Neville does not believe Mata fits in with the “typical philosophy” of United — but feels the player would bring plenty of positives if he did make the move.

Dark Lord Bass
Heavy, dark, foreboding low-end is not a metaphor for my post-holiday waist line;
It’s how I describe the Bass tones I use when writing Heavy Metal.
I’ve been writing Rock and Heavy Metal for 10 years now, and always struggled with a lack of low end.
Never sure whether it’s my lack of mixing skill or lack of samples, I decided to make my own Bass Pads for my music.
I sampled my 5-string Ibanez bass; played the samples through a variety of distortion pedals and amps; and recorded the samples using 4 microphones in the cavernous wooden house that I had just moved into.
On the keyboard, you will find 1.5 octaves of fx (such as the bass tuning down and up), 1.5 octaves of bass drones, and a further 4 octaves where I used an eBow on the strings.
Please note that this is not an instrument in the traditional sense, but a means of adding low end pads and drones to your already existing compositions; Orchestral, or Rock.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder, affecting approximately 1% of the population. The high rate of drug-resistance in epilepsy in general (30%), and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in particular, pose a serious clinical problem. Thus, novel treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy is highly warranted.
Gene therapy has been suggested to be a promising approach to target drug-resistant focal epilepsy since it offers the opportunity of delivering therapeutic agents directly into the seizure focus, thereby possibly being more effective in suppressing seizures and causing less adverse effects than conventional anti-seizure drugs.
Two endogenous proteins that have been shown to be able to modulate seizures when delivered by gene therapy are neuropeptide Y (NPY) through its interaction with the Y2 receptor and glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). In this thesis, the seizure supressing potential of these two theraputic strategies was investigated in an animal model of TLE. In the case of combinatorial NPY and Y2 receptor, overexpression was achived via adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector mediated in-vivo gene therapy. GDNF levels were increased by ex-vivo gene therapy via encapsulated cell biodelivery (ECB).
The efficacy studies were performed in a manner that is suggested to increase the translational value of the results. Thus, both strategies were evaluated by continous video-EEG monitoring in the intrahippocampal kainic acid (KA) rat model of post status epilepticus spontanous recurrent seizures (SRSs), which is considered to share pathopysiology with human TLE. Moreover, the treatments were individualized by MRI to target the hippocampal seizure focus, ipsilateral to the injection of KA.
The results indicate that both combinatorial NPY and Y2 receptor overexpression and ECB of GDNF were capable of reducing the frequency of SRSs when administered unilaterally in the seizure focus, with a responder rate of 31.3% respective 50%. Moreover, AAV derived overexpression of the NPY and Y2 receptor moduated SRS clustering patterns by increasing the latency between individual SRSs, but also between SRS clusters. These findings further strengthes the translational potential for these gene therapy strategies of treating TLE.
Finally, the insights from the work with the model contributed to an attemt at harmonizing experimental procedures and standardising data collection within the field of pre-clinical epilepsy research. The implementation of common data elements (CDEs) might serve as support for future multicenter studies, which would improve reproducibility and hopefully enhance translation of preclinical findings to the clinic.

Spending time in nature improves our wellbeing. It’s not just something that’s nice to do, it’s good for your mental and physical health.
That’s why the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand (MHF) is delighted to be partnering with the Department of Conservation (DOC) to work together to promote good mental health and protect New Zealand’s precious environment.
A memorandum of understanding has been signed by the MHF and DOC, which will see both organisations working together on projects (based on the MHF’s Five Ways to Wellbeing) that share conservation and mental health goals.
“Spending time in nature improves our wellbeing,” says MHF chief executive Judi Clements. “It’s not just something that’s nice to do – it’s actually good for you!”
“There’s a growing interest in people receiving ‘eco-therapy’ when they’re feeling low. We benefit from being in nature, taking notice of the beauty that is around us, connecting with others and being active. It helps us to feel relaxed, take an interest in other people and improves our sense of wellbeing,” she says.
“The health benefits of getting out into the natural world cannot be underestimated,” conservation minister Maggie Barry, says.
“The links with improved physical and mental health are proven and well established. People feel less stressed, more relaxed and refreshed when they venture into the outdoors, whether they are exercising or helping to contribute to a worthwhile conservation project.”
The Five Ways to Wellbeing are Be Active, Keep Learning, Connect, Take Notice and Give – with this partnership with DOC the MHF hopes to encourage people to practise each of these simple strategies while helping to conserve our natural environment.

Last week I made Vegan Dad's Mini Pot Pies. Of course I served it with turkey, being an omnivore family and all... It was delicious!! But, the recipe goes totally against the rules of TT - in that there's no way it could have been low fat. The only thing I deviated on was that I used store bought puff pastry. And I really enjoyed buying little ramekins... it's always fun to shop for new things. Okay, so the boys weren't wild about it - because it was loaded with vegetables. Gary and I thought it was better once we put some chopped up turkey pieces in it. I think, if you were to stick with the veg. theme, it'd be better with some faux meat. I guess I just need that meaty "chew" factor.
This week I chose a roasted cauliflower recipe from "The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen" cookbook by Peter Berley. I'll post the recipe since I've seen it online with some modifications.
Spicy Roasted Cauliflower with Sweet Peppers and Cumin
3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1 cauliflower, cored and separated into florets
1 lg. red bell pepper, halved, seeded and sliced into 1" strips
1 lg. yellow bell pepper, halved, seeded and sliced into 1" strips
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1. Preheat the oven to 450* F. 2. In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, oil, salt, ground cumin and red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine. 3. Add the cauliflower and bell peppers and toss well. 4. Spread the vegetables in a baking dish and roast for 45 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes for even browning. 5. Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, and serve.
It's vegetables, so the boys didn't like it. I loved it and finished it off for lunch today - yum!! The peppers really took the sourness of the lemon juice, so that was the only thing I wasn't wild about. I was so paranoid roasting the peppers and cauliflower together, since they are different densities. But if you stir it every so often, it turns out fine. I will definitely be making this again, either with or without the peppers, and even if it's only for me. Gary liked the peppers but not the cauliflower. It seemed like a lot to have cumin AND cumin seeds, but it turned out fine.
Next is a picture of a bread I made last week. I'll be making it again and again until the dough is used. I had read in the newspaper about a new cookbook that has come out. It's Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. Don't be mislead by the name. It takes longer than 5 minutes. What it is, you make a gigantic batch of dough that lasts 2 weeks in the fridge. You take out a hunk of dough and bake it when you want, but the catch is it has to rest for 90 minutes before baking. Still, it's easier than making fresh dough every time. It's no knead too! And healthy. Bonus!
It's pretty good, but it cries out for something to be spread on it. Makes a good sandwich bread. (note the leftover yucky halloween candy and the lovely gecko trivet my friend Jenny made for me)
I've already told y'all about my obsession with the BBCA tv show You Are What You Eat. So I finally made one of her recipes. The one for salmon with spinach and leeks. First off, I had to do some conversions from metric to regular. What on earth is gas mark 6?! I poked around on some conversion charts and poked around for other recipes and found one that said 400degrees F. One recipe said cook for 25 minutes, another said cook for 10 minutes! It took at LEAST 30 minutes for it to get done to my preference (um, that would be cooked throughout). It was easy to assemble and smelled lovely, but I just don't care for baked fish. I think it's a mental block rather than anything else. It's fine, but I'd rather eat my fish grilled and my spinach fresh or boiled (without the fish drippings). oh, another conversion was with the spinach. It called for 500gr. What? It turns out the bags of baby spinach you get at the grocery store are only 170 gr. (IIRC). That was more than plenty. No need to be wasteful.
I have 2 leftover leeks I need to do something with. I have no clue.

Didi set to skip Ram Mandir inauguration
Kolkata: After CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, Trinamul Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee is also likely to skip the grand inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 22.
The West Bengal chief minister is not going to send any representative either from her government or party to the mega event, according to sources.
TMC insiders revealed on Wednesday that their party chief has carefully decided to stay away from the big programme to send a message that she is a key partner of I.N.D.I.A., the opposition parties’ forum that is planning how to tackle the BJP in the next year's Lok Sabha Election.
If Ms Banerjee would have chosen to attend the event, her image as an anti-BJP figure would have taken a beating which can affect the party's vote bank in the polls, a senior TMC leader indicated.
Ms Banerjee's stand on the Ayodhya event came to light a day after Mr Yechury turned down the same invitation.
The TMC chief however remained silent on her plan while chairing a meeting at the state secretariat, Nabanna, to review the preparation for the upcoming Gangasagar Mela which is held at Sagar Island in South 24 Parganas on the occasion of Makar Sankranti every year. The fair will be held between January 8 and January 17 this year.
Elaborating arrangements, the CM said, “Gangasagar is India's biggest fair. At least 40 lakh pilgrims are expected to attend it this year. All measures are being taken to ensure no inconvenience to the pilgrims. Around 10,000 cops will be deployed. Traffic regulations have been planned with patrolling in the waters also.”

Creating a Welcoming Entrance
Your home’s outdoor space is the first impression visitors have of your property, and the entrance plays a crucial role in setting the tone. To create a welcoming entrance for your Mildura home, consider incorporating some landscaping ideas that enhance the curb appeal and make your home stand out from the rest.
By paying attention to the details of your entrance, you can create a visually appealing and inviting space that welcomes guests to your Mildura home.
Designing an Outdoor Dining Area
With Mildura’s pleasant climate, an outdoor dining area can be a perfect addition to your home. Whether you enjoy hosting summer barbecues or intimate dinner parties, designing a functional and stylish outdoor dining area can elevate your entertaining experience.
Start by selecting the right location for your dining area. Consider a spot that provides shade during the hottest part of the day, such as under a pergola, or create shade using umbrellas or sail shades.
Choose durable and weather-resistant furniture that can withstand Mildura’s changing weather conditions. Opt for materials such as teak or wrought iron, which are known for their durability and resistance to the elements.
Add some greenery and natural elements to your outdoor dining area to create a soothing and inviting atmosphere. Incorporate potted plants, hanging baskets, or a vertical garden for a touch of nature.
Finally, don’t forget to add some ambient lighting to your dining area. String lights, lanterns, or even torches can add a cozy and romantic atmosphere, perfect for enjoying long summer evenings.
Utilizing Different Levels
If your Mildura home has a sloping yard, don’t let it go to waste. Utilizing different levels in your outdoor space can create visual interest and allow for the incorporation of various landscaping features.
By utilizing different levels in your yard, you can transform a sloping landscape into a stunning and functional outdoor living area that maximizes space and enhances the overall aesthetic of your Mildura home.
Choosing Water Features
There’s something serene and captivating about the sound of water in outdoor spaces. Including a water feature in your Mildura home’s landscaping can create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere.
Consider installing a fountain, waterfall, or pond as a centerpiece in your yard. Make sure to choose a water feature that complements the style of your home and adds visual interest to the overall landscape.
When choosing a water feature, consider the size of your outdoor space and the maintenance required. Smaller fountains or self-contained water features can be the perfect choice for smaller yards, while larger ponds with aquatic plants and fish can be a stunning addition to more spacious landscapes.
Ensure proper placement and consider the sound of the water feature. If you want a calming experience, place the water feature in a quiet area where the sound of running water can be appreciated. For a more lively atmosphere, position it closer to outdoor seating areas.
Adding Functional Outdoor Structures
To make the most of your outdoor space in Mildura, consider adding functional structures that provide both aesthetic appeal and practicality.
Install an outdoor kitchen or barbecue area where you can prepare and enjoy meals with family and friends. Include countertops, a grill, a sink, and storage space for utensils and cooking supplies to create a fully functional outdoor cooking space.
If you have children or enjoy spending time outdoors, consider building a play area with a swing set, slide, or sandbox. Design the area with safety in mind, using soft landing surfaces and ensuring there is enough shade to protect from the sun.
A pergola or a gazebo can provide shade and shelter, creating a comfortable outdoor seating area where you can relax and enjoy the Mildura weather. Add comfortable seating, cushions, and outdoor rugs to create a cozy and inviting space.
By incorporating these functional outdoor structures, you can transform your outdoor space into a versatile and enjoyable area that accommodates various activities and enhances your overall outdoor living experience.
In conclusion, designing outdoor spaces for Mildura homes requires careful consideration of various elements. From creating a welcoming entrance to designing functional outdoor structures, implementing these landscaping ideas can significantly enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your outdoor space. So, get creative and transform your Mildura home into an oasis that reflects your personal style and allows you to make the most of the beautiful outdoors.
