LELAKI "666" SEMBAH "SYAITAN" DIJATUHI HUKUMAN

Caius Veiovis ketika dijatuhi hukuman

Springfield (Amerika Syarikat): Seorang lelaki dengan dua baris tanduk serta tatu ‘666’ pada dahinya semalam didapati bersalah atas tuduhan membunuh tiga lelaki dan mencincang mayat mereka.

Sebaik hukuman itu dibacakan di mahkamah Springfield, Massachusetts, Caius Veiovis menjerit ke arah juri: “Saya tunggu anda di neraka.” 

Juri berkenaan menimbang kes lelaki itu sejak minggu lalu.

Veiovis juga didapati bersalah atas tiga tuduhan menculik dan tiga dakwaan mengancam saksi dalam pembunuhan David Glasser, Edward Frampton dan Robert Chadwell.

Mayat ketiga-tiga mangsa ditanam di tanah persendirian di Becket.

Dua lelaki lain yang dituduh bersama Veiovis turut didapati bersalah tetapi masih menanti hukuman.

Seorang defendan itu mahu Glasser mati supaya dia tidak boleh menjadi saksi perbicaraan satu kes lain terhadapnya.

Dua lagi dibunuh kerana mereka melihat pembunuhan Glasser.

Veiovis bersama-sama Adam Lee Hall dan David Chalue menculik, membunuh dan mencincang David Glasser, Edward Frampton dan Robert Chadwell dengan parang.

Menurut undang-undang Massachusetts, dia berdepan dengan hukuman penjara seumur hidup tanpa parol.

Veiovis pernah dipenjara tujuh setengah tahun di Maine pada 1999 atas kesalahan mencederakan seseorang.

Dia yang ketika itu dikenali sebagai Roy Gutfinski dan teman wanitanya berusia 16 tahun mengelar belakang badan seorang remaja belasan tahun dengan pisau cukur sebelum berkucupan sambil menjilat darah.

Akhbar Kennebec Journal melaporkan, Gutfinski mendakwa dia pontianak dan penyembah setan. Dia menukar namanya ketika di penjara.

Kaki Fitnah Dah Mula U Turn Pula

Lepas fitnah, orang jawab dengan fakta dan gambar, mula la pusing tajuk lain.

Nak pusing sampai mana bang?

Kalau bukan kerana mereka, Khalid mungkin masih MB

PETALING JAYA - Kalau bukan kerana tindakan dua Adun Pas yang menyokong Presiden PKR, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Ismail sebagai Menteri Besar Selangor yang baharu, mungkin Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim masih kekal sebagai menteri besar.

Adun Bukit Gasing, Rajiv Rashyakaran berkata, tindakan Adun Morib, Hasnul Baharuddin dan Adun Hulu Klang, Shaari Sungib inilah yang mengubah haluan krisis politik Selangor dan akhirnya membawa kepada penyelesaian konflik.

"Walaupun pada asalnya sokongan itu dibuat untuk Wan Azizah, tetapi akhirnya Timbalan Presiden PKR, Mohamed Azmin Ali yang dipilih.
"Mereka ini bukan pengkhianat, mereka ini perwira rakyat. Disebabkan mereka, cubaan Umno untuk bergabung dengan Pas dan membentuk kerajaan di Selangor tidak berjaya," katanya ketika berucap pada Majlis Makan Malam DAP di sini, malam ini.

Katanya lagi, tindakan dua Adun tersebut dianggap wira kerana menyelamatkan Pakatan Rakyat (PR).


Hasnul dan Shaari adalah dua ahli Pas masing-masing Adun mewakili kawasan Morib dan Hulu Kelang yang menyokong pencalonan Wan Azizah sebagai Menteri Besar Selangor baharu menggantikan Abdul Khalid.

Tindakan dua Adun tersebut jelas tidak diketahui pimpinan Pas dan mereka kini berhadapan dengan tindakan tatatertib yang bakal diputuskan oleh Pas Pusat.

Turut hadir dalan majlis tersebut ialah Penasihat DAP, Lim Kit Siang, Adun Morib,  Hasnul Baharuddin dan Adun Hulu Klang, Shaari Sungib. - SH

Are you a design rebel?

What's your first instinct if someone tells says you shouldn't do something?

Do you automatically want to do it?  I do! 

 Most people would agree that there are rules/guidelines in interior design. They impact decisions about all sorts of things,  e.g.,  hanging lights, choosing the right scale furniture, selecting colour schemes, etc.   I guess following them is a little like following a recipe - you get a predictable result. Someone else has done all the thinking for you which makes it easy but, you also get a very generic looking space where everything looks controlled.

 I always think about those generic spaces  as the "Pinterest look" . You know  the rooms, all  beautifully organized, cutely accessorized with whatever is trendy at the time, and perfectly matched.   Does that make them wrong?  Definitely not.  I firmly believe we should all live in spaces that make us happy and comfortable.   What I am saying is that there are options in design that produce interesting, one of a kind spaces that are  usually achieved by playing around with design elements and principles. They are not for everyone.

 Take the room below.....

  Have a close look at this space  and decide what you like or don't like about it.  Check out my thoughts  at the end of this post. There are no right or wrong answers.

 How closely you adhere to rules is dependent on what results you want to achieve, how well you understand the elements/ principles  of design,  and how creative you are at applying them.  You can do anything in decorating, you just need to act bravely, and figure out how to pull it off.  But, before you can break the rules you have to know them.

Can you spot which  rules/guidelines were  thrown to the four winds in these rooms?

Here are the results: 

 

1. Stick to one style 

 These spaces show that when you mix traditional and modern the juxtaposition draws attention to both.  If only one style was used the various elements would be lost in their sameness. I particularly like the richness of wood and lots of curves with modern furnishings.  Of course art of any style works in any space.  

2. Use consistent finishes (don't mix metals)

This is definitely a good place to start your little rebellion.  You certainly can mix metals. Just make sure you have some of each one in the space.  Think about a piece of jewellery that uses white gold, pink gold and yellow gold. It works. Check out this post on the topic.

 

3. Pay attention to scale when selecting furniture/objects
I have to admit this is the one I have the most difficult time ignoring because  I am so attuned to scale considerations in drawing and painting.  I think I also have a  thing about objects too large bearing down on me. They make me uncomfortable. Large scale objects make riveting focal points. You can also have objects that are too small in scale, and end up looking insignificant and/or cluttered. Scale is usually the issue when a client tells me there is something wrong with a space, but he/she can't name it.

 

 
4. Every room needs an accent colour
Definitely not! Monochromatic rooms are so relaxing and depend on value changes and texture to wow.  If you want a quiet room, forget the pops of colour.

  

5. Keep wood tones consistent
When you slavishly adhere to this dictate you end up with a very boring space.  Check out this post for ways to mix wood tones effectively.



6. Choose light colours for small spaces
That would be your first instinct, but the two rooms in #6 shows that breaking this rule produces distinctive and very different spaces.  Sorry, but I couldn't live in either of them.  I am a neutral colour gal in my own home. This post provides various options for painting small spaces.

How did you do?

And now back to the reflection pic....

 

There's no doubt this space breaks a lot of rules, but it sure is memorable, and no one could call it boring. 

•  styles are mixed freely, moving from traditional to modern;
•  the colour scheme is monochromatic, no accent colours here;
• scale is manipulated big time in the high back chairs, plant, circular light fixture as well as in the smaller lamp shades in adjoining room;
• wood tones are liberally mixed.

And here's another take on some of the points above and few new ones. Modani modern furniture specializes in modern furniture and accessories.  Check them out online or at their newly opened modern furniture store in Toronto. Remember you can combine modern elements with any decor.

 

How do you feel about breaking design rules?
