Turns your android phone into a Wi-Fi analyzer!!
Shows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.
Shows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.
For the USB read/write permission: This permission is used to save and load snapshots(see menu in my app).
DOESN'T WORK WITH LATEST VERSIONS OF ANDROID I used to love and rely on farproc's WiFi Analyzer app, for both professional and home usage. However, since updating to the latest versions of Android (first Lollipop v5.0.1, then Marshmellow v6.0.1), I can no longer use this app to pick and choose which Access Point I wish to connect to. Being unable to select a particular AP for connection makes this app more of a pretty toy than a useful tool.
Not Android OS MM v6.0.1 compatible? Have used this Wi-Fi utility app for years, with great success. My AT&T 4G LTE Samsung Galaxy S®6 active was just upgraded to Android OS v6.0.1. It no longer allows you to change access points from within the app. You get a "Failed!" message, each time. Everything else in the app seems to work, properly, however; I can still change networks using the stock Android Wi-Fi tool. Hope there's a forthcoming fix for this...
A little lack with virtual nets. My router(huawei s319) have 2 network: my no-broadcasting private network('1') and open wifi ('2'). Both networks have same MAC, but different ssid-s. My smartphone connected to '1'. But the app shows 3! networks:'1','2', '?' with different signal level. Could you please group this nets in one by Mac address?
Works nope! Installed it on my phone to give me info on my WiFi and see what's channels are the best I then switched to channel 1 because it had best rating after doing so it then told me me 4 6 and 11 were the best and 1 is the worst. Gives info but not reliable. If it improves I will change my rating
Great app Simple, useful tool. Does what it says and that's it.. Not bogged down with useless extras. If you're somewhere with multiple open networks you can see which one is strongest. If you're setting up a network you can use this to see what channels are being used by other networks... So you can tell which channel(s) would have the least interference and set your WiFi router accordingly.
Great for finding APs in large buildings such as hospitals and airports I use this app professionally to track down wireless APs in large buildings. It saves you the hassle of having to get a laptop loaded with a full survey tool.
What's New
Improved alias importing & exporting.
Find & Connect to shared WiFi around the world. Free! youtu.be/NyiWXGtg2GI
Do you want to know if someone is connected to your wifi without permission?

Bradford's high-earners have agreed to defer half of their wages until the end of the season to ease the club's financial plight while they are in administration.
The accountants Kroll have been put in charge of the club after it defaulted on payments on a previous creditors' voluntary agreement.
It is the second time in two years Bradford have fallen into administration. And given the current financial climate at Valley Parade, manager Bryan Robson confirmed the playing staff have rallied round to help the cause.
"The players have agreed to help the club for probably the next few months and some have deferred 50 per cent of their wages," Robson said.
Experienced defender Wayne Jacobs - who has been at Bradford since August 1994 - and Dean Windass are two of the players who have agreed to defer half of their wages until May.
"We've been here before so it is not a problem," said Jacobs, who has made more than 300 league appearances for Bradford.
"In any line of business - or at any football club - it is hardly an ideal scenario but all the lads who were asked said 'yes, we're happy to help'.

Heterogeneity of Aerosols from Pleasure House Point, Virginia Beach, Virginia

|BIO 400: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
The purpose of this project was to use qualitative analysis using SEM imaging and EDS to determine the composition and heterogeneity of passively collected aerosol particles in a local coastal environment. The results of this study show that a diverse range of materials and elements can be found reflecting diverse natural and anthropogenic sources. Instead of looking at concentrations and sheer numbers of aerosols, this study took a different approach and looked more at the qualitative aspects of aerosols, e.g., size and composition. One third of aerosols sampled were found to have a heterogeneous composition.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

I think the checkbox 'Disable the Advanced part of the WordPress SEO meta box' in the security section of WP SEO dashboard, should disable the entire WordPress SEO meta box.
For the same reason explained for the actual behaviour of this option. Because if you don't trust your authors and editors about SEO stuff, you'll want to block them for other stuff (and not only advanced) like changing title, description and keywords that can seriously impact to your site.
I hope this can be considered :)

Today AirTran makes an important statement. Not only does it announce fleet wide Internet access by the end of the summer - that is all 136 planes - but is endorses the fact that the LCCs are no longer following the network carriers in terms of connectivity.
By adding two planes per night to their WiFi enabled fleet, AirTran will be the first major carrier to accomplish system wide connectivity. When the announcement comes out over a dozen of their planes will "switched on" - the airline takes 8 hours to WiFi enable a plane. This is big news and in making this announcement it is clear that this service will defacto become the new normal. Airlines without it will look rather backward. AirTran has thrown down a gauntlet.

NEAR TERM [through Tonight]...
With skies clearing much more quickly late this morning and
afternoon, decided to show more marked improvement in our sky grids
into early this evening. However, low CIGS and fog (likely just
patchy dense tonight) are expected to return to the region once
again overnight. Also, with the gradual approach of the cold front
off to our west, do have 20% PoPs from 06 to 12 UTC for NW portions
of the CWA. Based on the latest model guidance, did go with slightly
lower low temps for tonight, especially across eastern portions of
the region where some lower 50s appear to be possible. Elsewhere,
mid to upper 50s continue to look good.

A prominent Kaitaia businessman facing 22 charges of sexual
offending against boys has again been denied bail after a
judge ruled he could try to make complainants change their
Daniel Luke Taylor, 37, appeared for a bail application
before Judge John McDonald in the Kaitaia District Court
Taylor was originally remanded in custody by Judge Greg Davis
following his arrest. He was further remanded in custody
today till January 31, when he is due to appear for a
post-committal hearing.
The application for electronically-monitored bail (e-bail)
proposed that Taylor live at a rural residence outside
However, Judge McDonald said that would not prevent further
offending, as a remand in custody would. Nor would it prevent
Taylor from making contact with witnesses, the judge said.
"On the face of it he deliberately went about gaining the
confidence of these families and boys so he could carry out
the sexual activity alleged.
"He has shown a careful and devious mind. He knows that the
case against him substantially relies on the word of six
young complainants, and I consider there is still a risk of
him trying to get one or more of those complainants to change
their story."
Police prosecutor Duncan Coleman had again opposed the
granting of bail, telling Judge McDonald there had been no
change in circumstances since November 15, when Taylor
dramatically collapsed in the dock before being led away for
medical attention.
Mr Coleman said police still regarded the risk of Taylor
interfering with witnesses as high.
The offending, which had allegedly taken place over a
five-year period from 2007, had involved systematic grooming
of the victims, who were still susceptible and vulnerable to
his influence.
Taylor's lawyer, John Munro, who saw the alleged potential
for interfering with witnesses as the prime ground for
opposing bail, argued that his client had no previous

Diamond Sales Sparkle Online
High-end brands like De Beers are rethinking their traditional in-store only stance
Buying a $10 paperback from Amazon or a 99-cent new release from iTunes is now commonplace. But has online shopping matured to the point where people don't blink at dropping a $20,000 half-carat diamond into an online shopping basket and proceeding to checkout?
De Beers Diamond Jewellers, Inc. is banking that the answer is yes. And given the success of online-only jeweler Blue Nile, they might be right.
Online jewelry sales have exploded in recent years, reaching $2.5 billion in 2006, up from $2.1 billion in 2005 and $1.7 billion in 2004, according to IDEX Online, a business-to-business diamond trading exchange that analyzes data from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Now De Beers is entering the fray. The privately held retailer, created in 2001 as a joint venture between De Beers SA and LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, premiered its Web site in June. Featuring 190 different pieces (of which 90 are for sale online), the site's prices start at $500 and cap out at a $24,500, 1.5 carat engagement ring. In September, the online offerings will expand to 140 pieces with price points up to $50,000. But for De Beers's six-figure jewelry, buyers are directed to the company's smattering of luxury boutiques across the globe.
Companies such as Blue Nile Inc. NILE -1.04 % -- which has a market share of more than 30%, according to Internet Retailer, a trade publication that tracks online sales -- have successfully tapped into the Web-savvy diamond buyer. But until De Beers unlocked their virtual doors, most upscale jewelry companies resisted the online shopping cart. Luxe brands like Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier have Internet sites detailing their collections, but don't give visitors the option to buy online. Instead, they stress in-store customer support and a tactile experience of jewels.
Blue Nile, launched in 1999, is largely fueled by engagement-ring sales. Because the company relies on consignment goods, it requires few employees and less real estate than its brick-and-mortar counterparts, which allows Blue Nile to offer its stones at up to 40% off, according a report by Jewelry Research Institute president Ken Gassman. Blue Nile's steep discount attracts customers who might otherwise spend $10,000 somewhere else. Last year, the cost of the average ring purchased at Blue Nile was $5,600, versus a national average of $3,200 for rings purchased in-store.
What drives this success? Engagement rings carry what Mr. Gassman calls a "diamond bias": Customers are not only likely to spend more on diamonds than other gemstones, but they are also more likely to pay more for engagement rings versus other diamond jewelry.
Competitors have taken note.
The Internet is where people turn to for pre-information on jewelry, especially bridal purchases, said De Beers Diamond Jewellers CEO Guy Leymarie of the company's decision to go online, adding that for a certain demographic, the desire to discreetly buy luxury items is alluring.
"We tried to make [the De Beers Web site] extremely attractive and extremely linked to the store experience," Mr. Leymarie said. "We want to channel the Web as a truly virtual store."
Unlike Blue Nile, De Beers doesn't sell all of the jewels featured on its site, instead choosing for-sale items based on price points and the details of the gemstones.
"The philosophy is that for some stones, the level of [the jewelry's] brilliance should be experienced in the store," Mr. Leymarie said. "We didn't want, maybe wrongly, to put too high a price on the Web at this stage." Still, Mr. Leymarie concedes, "This doesn't mean that we will not consider this in the future."
In deciding to reserve its priciest inventory for in-store customers, De Beers followed precedents set by other upscale retailers.
Tiffany TIF -0.05 % & Co.'s site offers an online catalog, but despite a detailed engagement ring section, engagement rings can't be purchased online. Even so, Tiffany is the third highest-selling Internet jeweler, with $120 million in online sales in 2006, according to Internet Retailer. (Second place went to Bidz.com, which rang up $132 million in Web revenue.) Tiffany declined to comment.
Even with high-end retailers holding back, $600,000 diamonds can be purchased at Amazon.com. AMZN 0.06 %
Amazon's jewelry store launched in 2004, and recently bulked up its offerings to include high-end items like six-figure loose diamonds, an Amazon spokesperson said. The retailer reported that jewelry sales more than doubled during fourth quarter 2006, and confirmed the recent sale of a $90,000 canary yellow diamond earring set. Jewelry is held by wholesalers instead of being warehoused alongside Amazon's books -- and most jewelry pieces qualify for free shipping.
Online retailers like Amazon, Blue Nile and De Beers post detailed data on their gems -- stone certifications and precise measurements on the so-called 4C's (cut, clarity, color and carat) -- to appeal to customers who prize analyzing information for themselves (Blue Nile says their typical customer is a C-level executive working in technology, banking or law).
The one wrinkle in that premise is that many people want to see the sparkle in a diamond -- something that is hard to judge online. It also may be hard for a consumer to distinguish one cut over another among two otherwise identical stones. Cut is the "C" that has the most impact on light performance, or sparkle, and the overall look of the diamond. A diamond with perfect clarity and perfect color but a poor cut will appear dull.
Even with high-resolution photos, virtual diamonds don't yet translate the visceral reaction of seeing light bounce off a faceted stone in person, which is why luxury jewelers like Harry Winston stress the opportunities of the in-store visit.
"We look to give our clients a unique, one-on-one experience in our salons when they want to make a Harry Winston purchase, which cannot be replicated online," Harry Winston spokesman Carson Glover said. Tiffany's Web site warns potential customers that "it takes a lot more than the oversimplified 4c's to know why Tiffany diamonds are so beautiful."
Rishi Chandra, a 28-year-old product manager at Google, said he had "no information whatsoever" about diamonds when he made the decision to propose to his then-girlfriend, Monica Deshpande. But because he was about to buy something that is "a little rock and [yet] costs that much money," he spent several weeks digging into the minutiae of diamond ratings. Despite all his research, Mr. Chandra felt that cut was the one aspect he didn't have a handle on by only relying on online details. He visited local jewelers in San Francisco and Palo Alto, including Tiffany, to gauge how cut affected stones.
"I was actually more confident with some of the information I was getting on the Web than even looking at" stones in person, Mr. Chandra said. "One of the challenges is that when you look at a diamond in a store, the lighting is all set up so that it's very bright for you. They are trying to emphasize the brightness of the diamond." He eventually purchased a ring at Blue Nile; he and Ms. Deshpande were married in July 2006.
Mr. Chandra was pleased with the experience of buying a diamond online and said he would have returned to the Internet for wedding bands, but his then-fiancée insisted on a more traditional route. "When we were buying the wedding bands, she was actually very adamant that we had go see it," he said. "She wanted to try it on."

Zeno's Conscience
Zeno's Conscience
Everyman's Library, Hardcover, 9780375413308, 496pp.
Publication Date: November 6, 2001
The modern Italian classic discovered and championed by James Joyce, "Zeno's Conscience" is a marvel of psychological insight, published here in a fine new translation by William Weaver the first in more than seventy years.
Italo Svevo's masterpiece tells the story of a hapless, doubting, guilt-ridden man paralyzed by fits of ecstasy and despair and tickled by his own cleverness. His doctor advises him, as a form of therapy, to write his memoirs; in doing so, Zeno reconstructs and ultimately reshapes the events of his life into a palatable reality for himself a reality, however, founded on compromise, delusion, and rationalization.
With cigarette in hand, Zeno sets out in search of health and happiness, hoping along the way to free himself from countless vices, not least of which is his accursed last cigarette (Zeno's famously ineffectual refrain is inevitably followed by a lapse in resolve.) His amorous wanderings win him the shrill affections of an aspiring coloratura, and his confidence in his financial savoir-faire involves him in a hopeless speculative enterprise. Meanwhile, his trusting wife reliably awaits his return at appointed mealtimes.
Zeno's adventures rise to antic heights in this pioneering psychoanalytic novel, as his restlessly self-preserving commentary inventively embroiders the truth. Absorbing and devilishly entertaining, "Zeno's Conscience "is at once a comedy of errors, a sly testimonial to the joys of procrastination, and a surpassingly lucid vision of human nature by one of the most important Italian literary figures of the twentieth century.
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
WILLIAM WEAVER has been the leading translator of Italian writing into English for half a century and several samples of his own work are included in "Open City," Among his previous books is "A Legacy of Excellence: The Story of Villa I Tatti," Weaver divides his year among Italy, New York City, and Annandale-on-Hudson, where he is on the faculty of Bard College.
Elizabeth Hardwick is the author of many books and essays, including "Herman Melville" (Penguin Lives), "Sleepless Nights," and "American Fictions," available as a Modern Library paperback. She lives in New York City.
"Italo Svevo remains, with Joyce, Proust, and Kafka, one of the four unrivaled figures of twentieth-century literature. An accomplished ironist, a complex visionary of the modern soul, an anatomist whose scalpel is as fierce as it is compassionate, Svevo is without a doubt Italy's most serious modern novelist. From the self-deceived protagonist who forswears each of his attempts to give up cigarettes, to the final detonation which seems uncannily prescient of our atomic age, Zeno's Conscience, in the expert hands of William Weaver's elegant and vigorous translation, reminds us ever again that if there is one phrase we should confer on Svevo it would be this: Svevo, our contemporary." – André Aciman

The area of Helena's apartment is quiet and safe.
The location is perfect - straight connection (several tram station) with the center of the city and at the same time with the beaches at the seaside.
There is a park at the same street and large shopping area in the distance of one tram station.
The apartment is very clean and comfortable.
Full information is clearly given for the guests - concerning all the things a tourist is looking in the city.
The host is very friendly, open and offers her sincere help. In fact you fill like under your mother's care.
When visiting Athens again I will try to come back to Helen'a apartment.
We were very warmly welcomed at the airport and everything was fine during our stay. The apartment is quite spacious and can easily accommodate 3 couples. The sights were easily accessible on foot. Also shopping were very close. The balcony was a bit narrow but still offered seating for 5 people. The terrace didn't use, The TV had only 3 programms but because the most of the time we were in the city and on the beach, this did not play a role. All in all, we can recommend the apartment very much.
The stay at Helena's flat was great. We felt welcome and received prompt replies to our questions and requests. Everything is according to the description and the accomodation is equipped with all the things one possibly needs. The neighborhood is safe and several restaurants, cafes and supermarkets are just around the corner. It takes not more than 5 minutes to the subway and all the touristic sites can be reached within two or three stops. I can recommend the accomodation and would stay their again.
A lovely apartment located in the quiet street, very central to the Placa. Perfect for us four sisters, separate sheets as desired.
Airport pick up was perfect, even though we were very late, also pass at the airport was perfect. Highly recommend the apartment and service from Helena.
Yours sincerely Signe
En dejlig lejlighed beliggende i rolig gade, meget central til Placa. Perfekt til os 4 søstre, separate lagner som ønsket.
Afhentning i lufthavnen var perfekt, selv om vi var meget forsinket, også aflevering i lufthavnen var perfekt. Kan varmt anbefale lejligheden og servicen fra Helena.
med venlig hilsen Signe
Nothing to say, everything was perfect!
The location of the apartment is very convenient when you come for a conference, it is right next to the Hilton.
The very warm welcome, pleasant apartment, quality service.
Rien a dire , tout était parfait !
L'emplacement de l'appartement est très pratique lorsque vous venez pour un congrès ,il est juste à côté du Hilton .
L'accueil très cordial , appartement agréable , prestation de qualité .
It was great to be able to bivouac in the heart of Athens with so much space and tranquility. Helen and her team were very helpful. My daughter and I spent a wonderful week here!
Het was geweldig om in hartje Athene te kunnen bivakkeren met zoveel ruimte en rust. Helena en haar team waren erg behulpzaam. Mijn dochter en ik hebben hier een heerlijk weekje doorgebracht!
Super Great apartment, the location was very central and all the sights are within walking distance. The view from the terrace of the Acropolis was stunning. Communication with Helena ran smoothly from, they organized us transportation from and to the airport. I would highly recommend the apartment highly, would go back anytime.
Supertolle Wohnung, die Lage war sehr Zentral und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuss erreichbar. Der Blick von der Terasse auf die Akropolis war atemberaubend. Die Kommunikation mit Helena lief reibungslos ab, sie hat uns auch den Transport vom und zum Flughafen organisiert. Ich kann die Wohnung wärmstens empfehlen, würde jederzeit wieder kommen.
The apartment has stunning views of the Acropolis. It is conveniently located near attractions and the hosts are very friendly. To repeat.
El apartamento tiene unas vistas a la Acrópolis impresionantes. Está muy bien situado, cerca de los lugares de interés y los anfitriones son muy amables. Para repetir.
Great location. Quiet, calm and clean appartment. Very friendly and supportive hosts, many thanks to Helena and Chrissy. We really enjoyed our visit in Athen.
A good marketing for you is to inform your guests if one of their days are a bankholiday so they can plan their visit and not become dissapointed. For instans we planned to visit Akropolis on 1/5 but it was closed, also the Nationalpark, stores and so on. We were lucky had one day left but if we wouldnt have we had been dissapointed missing Akropolis. Kind regards Liselotte and Sebastian
Good - Better - Helena: Great view directly over the Acropolis. The apartment was super cool and modern. Although the location was very central, with the windows closed you hear no noise. All attractions are within walking distance and plenty of pubs are located within. Helena has also organized the taxi from us to the airport and everything went well. I would highly recommend this apartment and the organization of Helena.
Gut - Besser - Helena: Fantastischer Blick direkt auf die Akropolis. Die Wohnung war supertoll und modern eingerichtet. Obwohl die Lage sehr zentral war, ist bei geschlossenem Fenster keinerlei Lärm zu hören. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß zu erreichen und jede Menge Kneipen befinden sich im Umkreis. Helena hat auch das Taxi vom uns zum Flughafen organisiert und alles lief bestens. Ich kann die Wohnung und die Organisation von Helena nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Veteran Aussie golfer Steve Elkington tweets homophobic joke about Michael Sam
- From: News Limited Network
- February 26, 2014
AUSSIE golfer Steve Elkington has found himself embroiled in an anti-gay slur controversy.
The PGA golfer posted tweets making fun about gay US football player Michael Sam.
First he tweeted: "ESPN covering Michael Sam as a gay athlete is embarrassing....."
But he didn't stop there. Elkington followed-up the tweet with another:
"ESPN reporting Michael Sam is leading the handbag throw at NFL combine …. No one else expected to throw today".
The comments come two weeks after Sam came out publicly as gay. He will be the first openly gay player in the NFL if he's drafted in May.
The 51-year-old golfer deleted the tweets after receiving backlash from other Twitter users. He then backtracked suggesting his tweets were taken out of context.
"It goes back to "a ball hit an oriental spectator".There's no oriental spectators..There just spectators.."like m Sam...He's just an athlete," he tweeted.
But that tweet only generated more negative attention.
"if that was ACTUALLY your position, you wouldn't have felt any need to tweet about him. After all, if he is just an athlete...," @LukeKerrDineen responded.
And @Rocco_TheStreet responded: "Wow. @elkpga really is as dumb as a he Tweets. Dig his "oriental" Tweet. Suggestion, "Elk," give Twitter a break and hit the driving range."
Elkington is no stranger to controversy. He came under criticism for Twitter comments made in the aftermath of a helicopter crash into a Glasgow pub.
"Helicopter crashes into Scottish pub ... locals report no beer was spilt," Elkington tweeted about the crash.
The accident resulted in several deaths.
Last summer, while playing in the British Senior Open in Southport, England, Elkington tweeted: "Things about Southport ... fat tattooed guy, fat tattooed girl, trash, Pakistani robber guy, s--t food."
He then later tried to explain by tweeting: "Couple caddies got rolled by some Pakkis, bad night for them."
Elkington later apologised and was reprimanded by the European Tour.
Meanwhile in the NBA, the league's first openly gay player, Jason Collins, will wear number 98 on his back in tribute to murdered gay man Matthew Shepherd who was killed in 1998.
Shepherd was brutally tortured by two men and was tied up to a fence and left to die because he was gay.

I'm just getting my site started, and I was wondering if there is there a way to change the size of the circle thumbnail for an image? I read that it is 360 pixels. The resolution I'm uploading my images at means that the circle has blank space on either side of the image.
I'd like the circle to be cropped fully within the picture. Is there something I can edit in the theme files or should I just re-upload my images at a higher resolution?
Thanks for making this theme!

California Lawmakers Reach Budget Agreement With Governor
California lawmakers and Governor Jerry Brown said they reached agreement on welfare funding in the next fiscal year, clearing the way for approval of the most populous state's budget.
The disagreement over welfare was the final sticking point preventing Brown from signing the state's $92 billion budget for fiscal 2013, approved June 15. Lawmakers are scheduled to vote next week on a package of bills that would complete California's second consecutive on-time budget.
The agreement between Brown and his fellow Democrats in the Legislature would limit welfare payments to two years instead of four, according to a Brown press release. It also cuts subsidies for child care by 8.7 percent while maintaining $250 million in payments to cities, counties and school districts intended to compensate for the loss of redevelopment agencies.
"This agreement strongly positions the state to withstand the economic challenges and uncertainties ahead," Brown said in the statement. "We have restructured and downsized our prison system, moved government closer to the people, made billions in difficult cuts, and now the Legislature is poised to make even more difficult cuts and permanently reform welfare."
Brown needs only Democratic legislators to approve the budget because the party holds a majority in both chambers of the Legislature. Voters in 2010 eliminated the requirement for two-thirds of lawmakers to approve budgets in favor of a simple majority.
Tax Increases
The cornerstone of the budget is Brown's plan to ask voters in November to temporarily raise the state sales tax, already the highest in the U.S., to 7.5 percent from 7.25 percent. The proposal would also boost rates on income of $250,000 or higher, with those making $1 million or more, now taxed at 10.3 percent, raised to 13.3 percent, the most of any state.
The Democratic governor's appeal for higher taxes is aimed at closing a $15.7 billion deficit. If California voters reject the measure, Brown's budget calls for cuts of $6 billion more in spending, almost all of it from schools.
Under the agreement, the state would cut about $880 million from welfare spending, about half of that from the general fund. Recipients would be eligible to collect assistance for two years, unless they can demonstrate they are in job training. If they are, they can continue to receive benefits. Those with small children would be eligible for exemptions from the rule.
Poor Children
The agreement also eliminates California's health insurance program for poor children, who would instead receive care under Medi-Cal, a state-run plan for low-income residents.
The budget Democrats passed June 15 must still be signed by Brown. It includes a one-year, 5 percent payroll reduction for California employees that would reduce the general fund by $400 million. Brown has proposed achieving that by having staff members work 9.5 hours on four days instead of 8 hours in five days. The details are under negotiation with labor unions.
The budget also relies on a $450 million rainy-day reserve, about half of what Brown had proposed earlier in the year. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, a Democrat from Sacramento, said that combined with the revenue from the higher taxes, the spending plan eliminates the state's persistent deficit and would leave the state with a surplus within four years.
"These are sober decisions," he told reporters. "But we are on the back end of these deficits. If we can pass those taxes in November, we are done with deficits here in California."

This was good, I served it with Couscous with Almonds #81993 and North African Spiced Carrots #109803, a good combination. "Microwave" should read "microwave with grill feature", not an option I have on my appliance, so I baked in my oven, using broil to finish it off, which was easier for me than than frying it up in a pot. I will try this again when the season permits an excursion to our outdoor grill--it's not so much that weather is a problem for us here, it just gets too dark too early to see the food!

WASHINGTON - As the U.S. military presses ahead with preparations for possible war against Iraq, it is far from clear that an attack to topple Saddam Hussein would begin this winter as once widely thought.
If Iraq refuses to accept a U.N. resolution restarting weapons inspections, a U.S.-led attack could happen by December or January.
But, for now, the U.N. Security Council has failed to agree on a resolution to restart tough inspections.
And if Saddam agrees to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspections, at least initially, that could delay military action beyond winter and spring, which are considered the most suitable times for conducting war in Iraq.
Senior U.S. military officials said Tuesday they are ready to act whenever President Bush decides the time is right.
Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked at a Pentagon news conference Tuesday whether he was concerned that Iraq has the luxury of time to prepare its defenses against an American invasion.
"I can tell you we're postured in a way that that will not be a problem," Myers said.
In military terms, the passage of time can aid the attacker and the defender, Myers said.
"The longer you wait, obviously, an adversary has time to prepare - but so do you, to prepare for the consequences," he said.
The timing is unpredictable and depends in part on decisions yet to be made in Baghdad, analysts said Tuesday.
The U.S. Navy has two aircraft carrier battle groups within striking range of Iraq and may have four there by December; the Air Force has more than 200 warplanes based in the Persian Gulf area; the Army has several thousand soldiers in Kuwait; and a few thousand Marines are aboard ships in the region.
If U.S. military action were pushed to summer or beyond, conditions could be more difficult for the invading forces. The gear soldiers wear as protection against chemical or biological weapons, for example, is much harder to function in during the blistering heat of an Iraqi summer. But the heat would not help the Iraqis, either.
"On balance, people would prefer to fight during the spring, but you can make a lot of adaptations," said Anthony Cordesman, who has studied and written extensively about Iraq's decade-long war with Iran and the 1991 Gulf War.
"It just doesn't matter," he said, because U.S. forces have such overwhelming advantages over the Iraqis.
Bush said Monday he doubts Saddam will reverse himself and accept a U.N. Security Council resolution requiring him to provide unlimited and unimpeded access to suspected weapons areas. If he does, Bush said, "that in itself" would indicate the administration had reached it's goal of changing the regime without resorting to war.
Ivo Daalder, a Brookings Institution foreign policy expert and a National Security Council staffer during the Clinton administration, estimated there is a one-in-three chance Saddam will acknowledge he holds some banned weapons of mass destruction and let U.N. inspectors destroy them.
In that case, war could be avoided for many months - or possibly averted altogether, Daalder said.
Frank Ronald Cleminson, a Canadian member of the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, said Tuesday that if Iraq allowed inspections to run their course, they could be completed in 10 months.
More likely, the matter will come to a climax earlier.
Under a U.S. draft resolution not yet accepted by other members of the Security Council, Saddam would have to submit a detailed declaration of the status of his weapons programs within 30 days of the resolution's passage.
That could be a trigger for war if Saddam declared - as he has in the recent past - that Iraq has no such weapons.
If Saddam admitted having some banned weapons and allowed U.N. inspectors to destroy them, then the question for Bush would be whether his admission was sufficient to withdraw the threat of war.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told reporters Tuesday it's too early to know whether Saddam will concede.
"I do not have any idea what set of decisions Iraq will make in the event that a U.N. resolution passes or fails and they have to face a set of decisions as to what kind of inspections they will agree to. And time will tell," he said.

This syndrome can also cause severe malformations of other parts of the body, including the face and head, heart, nervous system, skeleton, and genitalia. The lungs are underdeveloped in many cases, which makes breathing difficult or impossible.

Beware tawdry tush-titans, an ex-cop-turned-lawmaker is on your tail.
A salute to state Sen. Eric Adams (D-WF) for trying to get to the bottom of a prison-friendly fashion fad which is lowering the bar for good taste on the streets — buffoonish, skivvy-baring, ultra-low-slung pants.
The lawmaker has such a beef with the predominantly black boxers-or-briefs crowd that he has spent $2,000 of his campaign funds on a YouTube video and several giant billboards in Brooklyn, particularly Crown Heights, imploring foolish fashionistas to pull'em up for Pete's sake.
The advertisements, depicting two braggadocios with their boxered-backsides on display, advises: "Stop the Sag! We are better than this! If we raise our pants, we raise our image."
As a former NYPD captain and co-founder of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, Adams is better versed than most in the decay of inner-city black youngsters who started the tacky trend which now is being copied by others.
While refreshing to hear of an African-American leader raising consciousness in his community's comatose youth, it will take more than a few bulletins to raise the public stature of young black men who routinely degrade themselves and their community in public. Who among us has not witnessed young blacks marauding subway trains, calling each other "nigger" and dissing the society which offers them advantages that their parents have not, or cannot?
Adams should have also called for a good citizenship campaign among young African Americans, impressing the merits of a lawful life so that racial profiling and its associated curses can cease to dominate the public consciousness. According to the US Justice Department, homicide is the leading cause of death among black males, ages 15-34, and in the period spanning 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by blacks.
Of course, as far as fashion vogues go, low-slung pants — borne from the 1990s hip hop "gangsta" music surge — are a stale breeze compared to the typhoons bred by some of history's other fashion-forward crazes.
In 10th century China, after a royal whore danced in shoes shaped like a Lotus blossom, wealthy families started to bind and break the feet of their young daughters to create dainty "Lotus feet."
In a trend that lasted that lasted 1,000 years, beginning in 500 AD, prosperous European females distinguished themselves from the lower classes by removing hair from their face, hairline and head — a labor-intensive chore which gave them an alien-like appearance.
And, in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, Italian women began to wear what became known as the precursors to high heels: 20-inch-tall chopines, also known as clogs, which protected shoes and clothing from getting soiled outdoors. The trend later became a symbolic reference to the rank and stature of the wearer because high chopines allowed women to literally loom over others in superiority. In Hamlet, Shakespeare even refers to a lady as being "nearer to heaven … by the altitude of her chopine."
Never before has a fashion, though, become as synonymous with crime as low-slung pants — and that's a problem for everybody.
Pants that have to be constantly babied at the crotch by waddling walkers dumb down an entire community, point to who African Americans are as a people and beg the question: Do people with a brain really have to be told to pull their pants up?

Same pour every time. No mover over pours and same tasting drink always. You do have to hold the bottle at the right angle but once you get the hang of it, it works great.
Russell H. from Russ' Sub Shack Posted on 07/24/2016
I think these are a bit pricey. They do jam up every once in a while so it's difficult to rely on the stopper. I will take free pouring over these pourers any day.
Cynthia H. Posted on 07/13/2016
we use this in our bar for measured pours. works great especially for the price, we have bought these many times and we will order them again.
Robert C. Posted on 06/01/2016
Great price for a pack of 12. They fit well on liquor and syrup bottles perfectly. There is a learning curve to using these, you have to tip the bottle at just the right angle to ensure you're getting as close to the 1oz measurement.
Thomas B. from Stanley B Posted on 05/12/2016
Perfect pour! We have reordered these multiple times. Easy pour method keep staff from overpouring and has proven very cost effective. Fits most bottles perfectly without leaking.
Rushabh P. from Best Western Plus Windsor Hotel Posted on 03/24/2016
These pourers work well, especially for their price. No more "eyeing" your cocktails, get the correct pour every single time so the taste is always the same!
Charles J. Posted on 03/14/2016
Great for what it does. We use theses to measure out our liquid boosters works really well and is accurate for pouring. I would recommend.
Camille P. from blended llc Posted on 02/04/2016
If you're not using measured pourers in your bar, you're giving money away. These are fairly durable and at the price you can afford to replace them
John A. from Inne of the Abingtons Posted on 01/22/2016
These pourers work pretty good. Not exactly one ounce each time but very close. They do get gumed up with heavy and sugary liquors but daily cleaning solves that problem.
Andrew H. from Blue Collar Sports Bar Posted on 12/29/2015
These pourers seem to work about 75% of the time - sometimes they seem to deliver a half-pour. Wrapped together in plastic and dropped in box
Emily S. from Smartt Choices Posted on 12/20/2015
This product helps if like me you are new to making drinks and don't have eye level. The only problem is that I ordered for the finest call purees but it won't fit on them. I wish they had a measuring pourer for finest call.
Andranik G. from Smash It Up Posted on 08/04/2015

I purchase this when making drink recipe to train servers to make cocktails, knowing most of them are going to be inconsistent at first. This pourer helped a lot while giving me e a peace of mind that liquor will not be wasted or over poured on accident. I love the color and the material which makes the bottles look great compare to the metal black pourer I used before that gets rusted which make it so unsanitary and hard to take out.
TzeJung L. Posted on 04/28/2014
These work very nicely and clean out very easily. They can be soaked in water and stay very sanitary. The ball does get caught but is easily unattached.

These liqour pourers are much less then our local stores. While they seem to be quality, a few broke on the first use. The rest seem to be holding up just fine. I may have just gotten a couple melons. Also Webstaurant Store credited my account for the broken ones
Adam S. from Gallaghers Pizza Posted on 12/19/2012
Helps me control liquor cost. We all love to over pour free style so we make sure we are not losing too much money by keeping with amounts.
Tristan M. Posted on 11/26/2012
These are your basic liqour pourers but they are always great to have! Prevent spillage and control costs! Fits all sorts of bottles for faster pouring!!!
Eric K. Posted on 09/26/2012
These liquor pours help us to monitor accurate drink mixtures and have reduced the freaquent over pours. The bottom line is increase profitability for our bar.
Beverly J. from Gerry's Place Posted on 11/14/2011
These were ordered for my birthday celebration. They were the best value for the amount. They also helped us to save on liquor and reduce the waste. We will continue to use these and if we need more we will definitely purchase from WEBSTAURANT. Thanks again

Generous round the bust and heavy-hipped, with a less-than-washboard stomach? It's not always easy to dress fashionably when you've got real curves and don't match up to the skinny models in magazines. Here are ideas a-plenty for dressing your curves up sexily.
- Long, loose, high-waisted trousers (long if you're tall and loose if you want to camouflage your thighs)
- Loose, non-pleated, trapeze shaped skirts
- Coats that fall below your hips but aren't too loose and still show off your bust
- Low-cut summer dresses
- Long, fluid, low-cut evening dresses that nip your bust in and skim your bottom half
- Boots
- Skinny belts that sit on your hips
- Vertical lines, for a slimming effect
- Loose fabrics that fall vertically, for more structure
- Loose long-sleeved tops (avoid bustiers and strappy tops if you have thick arms)
- Tunics and long blouses
- Short jackets which hide busts and emphasise thighs
- Coats with pockets over the bust
- Low-rise trousers
- Flares that hug your hips
- Dresses with high belts under the bust
- Large prints
- Miniskirts
- Combat trousers (lots of pockets make thighs look heavier)
- Too much layering (though light or strappy tops are OK)
- Short, tight tops
- Fully zipped or buttoned coats (leave them open!)
- Strong horizontal lines
- Shiny fabrics
- Stretch fabrics
How to flatter your figure
- If you're confident about your figure, all that people will see are beautiful curves, not excess pounds!
- Black and dark colours are slimming and make you look more in proportion.
- Match motifs and accessories to your shape: imposing jewellery and big hair can make you look more in proportion.
- If you're bottom-heavy, put your top half on show by wearing shoulder-padded jackets or big accessories, for example.
- It's better to get clothes altered than wear something that's too big.
- What really matters is that you feel gorgeous and happy with your body, so if you feel good in strappy tops and bright colours then there's no reason not to wear them!

R.I.P. Pattycake, New York's First Native Gorilla
She was 40, and is survived by ten offspring.
Mourning is in order at the Bronx Zoo, where the 40-year-old gorilla, Pattycake, died Sunday after treatment for "chronic cardiac issues." She was the first gorilla born in New York, and she gave birth to ten offspring who now live at different zoos around the country. Gorillas have an average lifespan of 37 years, the Daily News reports, but Pattycake's mother Lulu died at the age of 46 in 2011, so apparently longevity runs in their family. She will be missed.
