There are plenty of free streaming sites on the Internet. The quality is good and you don't need to download or install anything.

Some telco things are unavoidable e.g. mobile phone plans but pay tv is definitely avoidable.

Vote with your wallet and starve the beast.

I am not familiar with these sites. Can you help by giving me one or two to try? Thanks.

Search for 'First Row Sports' or 'Sports Stream'.

Anyone who goes to a Mariah Carey concert must have loosen his screw.

Mariah Carey was great once upon a time. Now she's old, used up and fat.

Notice the free and open debate publicized in the media in vancouver over a comparatively small spending item of $283k for a grass field for the 2015 Women's world cup. Versus the deafening silence and lack of dialogue over the spending of $800k and than a further $1.5 million on a football pitch that is still shit in Singapore. This kind of performance worthy of million $ salaries?

the mayor of vancouver earns Cdn $154,347 (Sgd$174,709)
A city councillor earns Cdn $67,994 (Sgd $76,968)
And yet these politicians can install a FIFA standard grass field for $283K. Something wrong with this picture. And by the way, unlike the PAP, all their exact salaries down to the dollar is public record.

The grass in the old National Stadium was available (and free, except for maintenance) until the PAPzis decided to tear it down to build this monstrosity to impress our neighbours.

Leaky Indoor Stadium roof adds to Sports Hub’s woes

TODAY reports: An afternoon downpour caused water to drip onto the court at the stadium – which is part of the S$1.33 billion Sports Hub at Kallang – during a WTA Finals women’s doubles quarter-final match on Wednesday.

ENLARGECAPTION
SINGAPORE: Already hit by lighting issues that drew complaints on Tuesday (Oct 21) from tennis players at the BNP Paribas WTA Finals, the Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS) on Wednesday found itself dealing with a roof leak as well.

An afternoon downpour caused water to drip onto the court at the SIS – which is part of the S$1.33 billion Sports Hub at Kallang – as the first women’s doubles quarter-final match between Russians Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, and the Russian-Australian pairing of Alla Kudryavtseva and Anastasia Rodionova, got under way at 1.30pm.

Towels had to be placed on two separate spots on court – in the section closer to the South entrance – in between games during the second set, with a ball kid also activated to mop up the water during the match. Play was not disrupted, with the leak appearing to stop as the match progressed.

SportsHub Pte Ltd (SHPL) was expected to issue a statement in consultation with Sport Singapore on Wednesday, but was unable to respond by press time last night.

The Indoor Stadium was on Tuesday hit by complaints from top players Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova that certain lights were turning on and off during their match.

Wednesday’s roof leak was yet another blow for the billion-dollar Sports Hub, with pitch issues at the National Stadium forcing SHPL to cancel a rugby friendly between the Asia Pacific Dragons and Maori All Blacks scheduled for Nov 15, while the Nov 8 Jay Chou concert was postponed to Dec 27 to allow the pitch more time to recover for next month’s ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup.

This is not the first time that the Indoor Stadium – which was opened in December 1989 – has suffered a roof leak. At the badminton Singapore Open in 2010, rainwater seeping through the roof onto Court 2 caused a three-hour backlog of matches, forcing the tournament referee to reschedule 10 matches to the next day.

In July 2012, the stadium was shut for more than three months to allow for a series of renovations that included work on its interior roof. But the problem persisted, recurring in April, again during badminton’s Singapore Open when play was halted for nearly an hour due to rainwater dripping onto the court.

At least Singapore's climate is predictable and there are no natural disasters.

If this were an earthquake-prone country or a typhoon zone or a place with harsh winters, I think many people will die with those nincompoops in charge.

If I am PAP I will answer to such allegation that in Singapore e dry thing has to be imported including grass so it's more expensive ma. Singapore's only resource is its precious people known as daft sinkies, so suck it. Yes if I am PAP this is how I will answer but too bad I am not.

If I am PAP this is how I will answer about the lamp - it's year end now so daylight is shorter by a few minutes we need to compensate this with artificial lamp surely not everyone will understand.

Do Plants Need Sunlight?

This lesson developed by Reach Out!
Recommended Age Group: Early Elementary, Later Elementary
Guiding Questions:
1. Do plants need sunlight?
2. What happens if plants do not get sunlight?
Objectives
Concepts:
Plants need sunlight (or the right kind and amount of electric light) in order to make chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is the chemical that makes plants green.
Principles:
Green plants need these things in order to use the energy from light in order to grow:
Water
Minerals
Light
Carbon Dioxide
Chlorophyll
Facts:
If plants do not get sunlight, they cannot produce chlorophyll and they will lose their green color and eventually die.
If plants lack any of the other things they need to grow, they will die.
Note that some plants are not green, although they do have chlorophyll. In colorful plants like coleus or purpleleaf plum, the chlorophyll’s color is masked or hidden by other pigments.

Making Observations
Making Comparisons
Communicating Findings
Making Inferences
