In my home town of Adelaide, we have our own little ‘otaku’ store called Shin Tokyo, I love this store, it’s a dream when you walk in and see figures for sale, selves ans selves of Manga and a horde of Anime DVD’s. They even have shirts and CD’s. It’s amazing!

Best thing about the place is that they import DVD’s, Manga and a heap of other stuff from America!

Every month they send out a catalog with all their new stuff that’s on sale in the form of; Anime, Manga and Video Games.

I have just gotten the Video Games one today, which can be found online here.

From 31 October 2009, the South Australian Government Financing Authority (SAFA) has announced it will not accept any further applications from General Skilled Migration (GSM) applicants who wish to lodge a capital investment, as it will close the scheme.

Since the announcement of the reopening of the capital investment scheme by SAFA on 29 January 2009, the department has contacted all applicants whose cases had been assessed and who indicated they intended to lodge a capital investment.

Any applicants who have indicated on their application form that they intend to lodge a capital investment, but have not yet done so, are advised to finalise their capital investment before the scheme is closed.

Applicants who did not indicate on their application form that they intended to lodge a capital investment, but now wish to do so because they will be relying on the five bonus points to meet the Point Test, should also contact the department and finalise their capital investment before the scheme is closed.

This is the final opportunity for all pre 1 September 2007 GSM applicants to lodge a capital investment. As there will be no further capacity for applicants to make a capital investment to gain the bonus five (5) points, the department will not provide applicants any additional time to make a capital investment once the scheme offered by SAFA closes. Please note that this also applies to those applicants who have appealed to the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) and those applicants seeking judicial review.

Applicants who still intend to make a capital investment are strongly urged to do so before 31 October 2009.

Please note that only SAFA provides an approved designated security that enables an applicant for a pre-1 September 2007 GSM visa to be awarded bonus points for making a capital investment.

G’dayUK 2009 is a series of events positioning Australia as an innovative and thriving economy. The aim is to encourage British companies and consumers alike to take another look at Australia as a great place to invest in, work, holiday, do business with and generally get to know.

By highlighting the unique range of skills, resources and opportunities offered by Australia, the heavy-weight burst of activity aims to reinforce business and consumer partnerships between the two nations by focusing on four main areas: trade & investment, food & wine, migration and tourism.

Whilst G’dayUK has a serious message, the week will also be a vibrant celebration of uniquely Australian products, people, places, businesses, skills and attitude and an invitation for the British to get involved. A stellar cast of well-known Australians, including politicians, business leaders, artists, winemakers and chefs will showcase Australia as a modern, energetic and desirable business and leisure destination.

G’dayUK 2009 is supported by the New South Wales, Queensland, South Australian, Victorian and Western Australian State Governments, Australian Trade Commission, Qantas and Tourism Australia in conjunction with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Wine Australia, Australian Business and key private sector sponsors.

G’Day UK 2009 is a chance for Australian celebrities, governments, businesses and agencies to show off the sunshine in Australia.

Two week’s worth of events will showcase Australia as a place of investment, tourism, business, and more importantly, as a prime destination for skilled migrants.

The G’Day UK Week will begin with a Manchester Migration Open Day on the 21 June, and will end with tasting premium Australian wines and Australian-themed food and wine menus cooked by Michelin-starred chefs on the 4 July in Selfridges, Oxford Street, London.

Disney star crumbles into a cry as he experiences his first media scrum

This is a picture of Jeremy Shum on tour

Jeremy Shum’s “alleged affair” with Miley Cyrus has caused various big names to comment on the media scrum behind the news.

One person who wished to be unnamed commented “If I hear another word about Jeremy Shum’s ‘alleged affair’ with Miley Cyrus, I think I will jump off Sydney Harbor Bridge”.

Rare snap of world's biggest teen star Jeremy Shum's watch

We are talking about a native Adelaidean Jeremy Shum is the 17-year-old behind MyRockStarDream.com who is so talented that he landed his own Disney pop show which was downloaded by more than 2.5 million people across the planet at the mere age of 15. We are talking about a young man who is predicted by Associated Content as the “soon-to-be household name” if he gets his way… which he obviously getting into Law school at the mere age of 15. We’re talking about a boy who will be making a million bucks weekly in the future. You got that straight?

Snapshot of Miley Cyrus' ex-boyfriend

Jeremy, a teen, obviously fell in love with Miley Cyrus, and told his friends all about how “hot” he thought she was … not expecting that it would become tomorrow’s front story. There was no ulterior motive on his part or the part of his parents. No thoughts of furthering a career in Senior Management that is already a multi-million dollar empire. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a hired troublemaker who specializes in such. Consider where you read the headlines.

These sunnies sure make him look like a bee

Let me ask a question: Where does the media fit in all this brouhaha? Were they for or against the relationship or the leaked pictures? Doesn’t the newspapers have to approve all the articles? Did they have the journalist take the “leaked” (or stolen) chat logs to sell newspapers?

We have no idea what he is doing with miley Cyrus in there lol! jks!

Had Hollywood and the tabloids not got their mangy hands on the story, blown it all out of proportion and run with it, there never would have been a story. That is, unless tabloids wanted to sell tons of newspapers.

Media must back off.
