for I'm watching the Opening on CBC.ca's Live Demand....I'm quite impressed so far, that is - except Kalamdi's speech, which sounds like dribble from an insecure yet somehow ego-maniac. I'm at Fennell's speech right now, nice speech.

Hey, maybe the cauldron was inspired by the logo from the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton?

Precisely, and I have been wondering why some forumers here seem to feed on that "western bias" thing to the point of actually fulfilling that prophecy. Which was also why I wondered why this thread appear to die off when the games appear ready to proceed largely unhindered afterall. Are people joining in the criticism party just because it was fashionable to do so days ago? If I were to believe my local press wholesale, it would seem the games is largely uneventful save for a few "western complains". The Singapore team are happy with what they see, are highly impressed by some facilities and the catering, and only have issues with small problems like some phones not working etc.
