Want to play with Server 2012 but you don't have the hardware readily available, well here's your chance to do so for free. Windows Azure IaaS allows for the creation of virtual machines in the fastest public cloud service on the market today. To get started, simply sign up here. This will require a credit card for verification purposes, but don't worry, you will only be charged if you allow the system to do so. Meaning, if subscribe to more services beyond what is available in the free trial period then it will let you know the new services have fees associated. Now to get started with creating a VM, you should have landed at this page, then select "Virtual Machines." Next click on "Create A Virtual Machine":
"Quick Create" is easiest selection for this exercise. Provide a DNS name, notice the suffix is provided for you already, and it will not allow special characters(other than hyphens) in this field. Select the operating system of your choice, in this case Windows Server 2012 is the default and is the latest release from December 2012. We will cover the other operating systems in a follow up article. Size doesn't matter. For the labs I choose "Extra Small" and then provide a password twice as usual. Now the more interesting selection on this page is "Location." Why is location important in the cloud you ask? Let's suppose you are the administrator for a company or organization that must adhere to government regulations(think HIPAA) and you're data cannot reside outside of a certain region or country. By selecting the region, in this case East US, I am assured that my data complies to the regulations. This is where the main instance of your virtual machine will live. Click "Create Virtual Machine."
Now the progress of the deployment is shown:
Refreshing the web page from time to time will show you when it completes faster than waiting on the default refresh intervals.
After the provisioning process is completed you will see the machine is Running and ready for work. Click on "Connect":
You will most likely get a warning message at the bottom of your browser about the RDP link that is attempting to be opened:
Login in as normal after accepting the RDP warning screen:
The first login process takes a few seconds. Then you should arrive at the desktop, with Server Manager launching shortly thereafter.
In full screen mode, tapping the "Windows" key on your keyboard you can also go to the new modern UI Start screen. Top right corner shows you who you are currently logged in as. Click this to "Sign Out" when you are finished working. You can continue on with some of the labs on my site to see additional roles & features in action like Storage Spaces or File Sharing. The Storage Spaces lab can be found here.
We hope you enjoy the series and make sure you give Windows Azure a Try: https://aka.ms/mshosting
If you missed any of the parts you can find the rest of the series here: 31 Days of Servers in the Cloud.

DUESSELDORF (Dec. 16)
Two Israeli witnesses told a court here today about atrocities committed by a number of the defendants on trial here on war crimes charges, while serving as officials of the Treblinka concentration camp.
Describing his sufferings at the hands of ex-camp commander Kurt Franz and nine other defendants, Abraham Goldfarb, 55, said he once saw Franz join a group of Jewish children in play just before they were gassed. He said he heard Franz say at the time that children were "all headed for heaven." He also said that the German guards would cut open pregnant Jewish women after they were gassed to make sure "the fruit of their wombs" were also dead.
Jakob Eisner, another Israeli, told the court that Franz had once ordered a Jewish boxer from Krakow to put on boxing gloves with him. He said Franz, in an apparent attempt to amuse his SS colleagues, suddenly shot and killed the Jewish inmate.

Every August I go a little crazy and buy a bunch of Hatch peppers, insisting that I will need them. I use a few, but there are always a couple that have to be unearthed from the back of the freezer and tossed once the next crop arrives at my grocery store.
This year I sensibly bought the pre-roasted ones and spent a couple hours peeling, seeding, and dicing them, then freezing into ice cube trays. But it was only yesterday when I decided to use them for the first time. Maybe this year I'll get through them.
Green Chile Mac & Cheese
- 4 tbsp Hatch peppers roasted and diced
- ½ cup milk or cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 1/2 cup mixed cheeses shredded (I used sharp cheddar and aged white cheddar)
- 8 ounces macaroni
- ½ cup bread crumbs
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a sauce pan, then add 2 tbsp Hatch peppers. Cook until peppers start to break down a little, then add milk and cook until heated through, being careful not to let it curdle. Cool, then blast in a blender until smooth.
Preheat oven to 350. Cook pasta according to package. Drain, rinse with cool water, and return to original pot.
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a saucepan, then add flour to form a roux. Add blended mixture, the other 2 tbsp peppers, a shake of salt and pepper, and heat through.
Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp butter in microwave and mix with bread crumbs. You can omit the butter here if you want, I've found it tastes just as good.
Add cheeses to sauce, turn off heat, and stir constantly until cheese is completely melted. Pour into pasta and mix thoroughly, then pour into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Scatter bread crumbs over the top and bake for about 25 minutes, until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
Note: I didn't write down what I was doing when I made this, so please let me know if there are problems when you make it!

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing a new date for when it will implement routine verification sampling and testing for raw beef manufacturing trimmings for six non-O157 Shigatoxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145). This new date will provide additional time for establishments and laboratories to validate their test methods.
FSIS announced in September 2011 plans to test certain raw beef products for these six STEC serogroups in addition to O157:H7. FSIS has determined that these organisms are adulterants of raw ground beef products and product components under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA).
DATES: Beginning June 4, 2012, FSIS will implement routine verification activities, including testing, for the six additional STEC discussed in this document (O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145), of raw beef manufacturing trimmings (domestic or imported) derived from cattle slaughtered on or after June 4, 2012. To facilitate compliance with the policy, and to allow industry time to implement any necessary changes in their food safety systems, FSIS will generally not regard raw, non-intact beef products or the components of these products found to have these pathogens as adulterated until June 4, 2012.

Each young woman will seek to use her leisure time wisely.
Bring pencils and paper for the young women.
Optional: From newspapers or magazines, collect pictures of young women engaged in leisure-time activities such as reading, swimming, knitting, making crafts, playing musical instruments, studying the scriptures, writing in a journal, or doing things with friends. Place the pictures in a chest or a decorated box that represents a treasure chest.
Make a wordstrip that says, "Time, the wise man's treasure."
Assign young women to present any scriptures, stories, or quotations you wish.
Suggested Lesson Development
"Recently I read a very provocative article about a certain distinguished Chinese gentleman visiting in this country. Among other things, he was shown through the new home of a well-to-do American friend. He was very interested in what he saw and listened attentively as the many labor-saving devices were explained to him, and he was told about the saving in time that they made possible. After the tour was over the guest said to his host, 'And what do you do with all of this time that you save?'" (Sterling W. Sill, The Law of the Harvest [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1963], p. 337).

What do we call time when we do not have work to do? (Leisure time.)

What do you think of when you hear the words leisure time?
Leisure Time Is an Important Part of Life
Chalkboard discussion
- •
Why do you think it is important to have leisure time in your life?
Write the young women's answers on the chalkboard. They may include the following ideas:
We need time to do something different from our daily work.
We can develop many talents during leisure time.
We need time to be with family members and friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
Leisure gives us time to meditate and reflect upon our lives.
President Brigham Young said this about leisure time: "Recreation and diversion are as necessary to our well-being as the more serious pursuits of life. There is not a man in the world but what, if kept at any one branch of business or study, will become like a machine. Our pursuits should be so diversified as to develop every trait of character and diversity of talent" (Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1941], p. 238).
Writing activity
Distribute pencils and pieces of paper. Ask the young women to think through a typical week and estimate how much leisure time they normally have. They should include any time when they can choose what they would like to do.
- •
Do you feel that you make this leisure time a valuable part of your life?
We Should Use Leisure Time Wisely
Wordstrip activity
Post the wordstrip, "Time, the wise man's treasure." Display the treasure chest or box. Pull pictures, one at a time, from the chest, explaining that these pictures represent some leisure-time activities. If pictures are not available, ask the young women to name some leisure-time activities. Point out that these pictures represent just a few of the many ways in which we can choose to use our leisure time.
Teacher presentation
Explain that when we think of leisure-time activities, we often think of passive activities such as watching television or going to a movie. Sometimes we neglect activities that require us to use our bodies, minds, and imaginations. Many recreational activities have the advantage of teaching while they entertain. They renew and refresh us.
The following statement explains what it means to use leisure time wisely:
"Now, what about our leisure time? How we use our leisure is equally as important to our joy as our occupational pursuits. Proper use of leisure requires discriminating judgment. Our leisure provides opportunity for renewal of spirit, mind, and body. It is a time for worship, for family, for service, for study, for wholesome recreation. It brings harmony into our life.
"Leisure is not idleness. The Lord condemns idleness. He said, 'Thou shalt not idle away thy time, neither shalt thou bury thy talent' (D&C 60:13). Idleness in any form produces boredom, conflict, and unhappiness. It creates a vacancy of worth, a seedbed for mischief and evil. It is the enemy of progress and salvation" (J. Richard Clarke, in Conference Report, Apr. 1982, p. 112; or Ensign, May 1982, p. 78; italics added).

Writing activity
On the papers you have already distributed, ask the young women to write down the ways in which they used their leisure time during the past week.
Chalkboard discussion
Ask the young women to share some of these activities with the class. Compile a list of leisure-time activities on the chalkboard. Ask the young women to discuss these activities and decide which are wise ways to use leisure time. Encourage them to explain why they feel an activity is a wise use of time or not.
You may want to use some of the following material in this discussion:
Reading. Reading good books is one of the best ways to learn about new ideas, places, and people. It is relaxing, it makes the reader a more interesting and knowledgeable person, and it can be done anywhere. If a person does not know what books to read, she can talk to parents, schoolteachers and counselors, and librarians. Public libraries often compile free reading lists. The more a person reads, the more she learns to appreciate and understand good writing.
Playing a musical instrument. Music can uplift, inspire, and relax the soul in a way that almost nothing else can. Practicing a musical instrument teaches a person discipline and appreciation for music, and it prepares her to bless the lives of others through performing the music.
Participating in a sport. Participation in sports is a fun way to associate with other people, exercise the body, and release the tension of the day. It develops coordination, the ability to work with a team, and love for the outdoors.
Enjoying nature. The Lord has said that he made the beautiful things of the earth "for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; … to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul" (D&C 59:18–19). Taking walks, camping, going on picnics, taking time during the day to look at the sky and trees can all make a person feel closer to God and refresh her spirits.
Spending time with family and friends. Most people feel that the most valuable things they have are their relationships with family members and friends. By spending leisure time enjoying loved ones, a person builds stronger and more enjoyable relationships.
Doing family history work. By using our leisure time to learn about the lives of our ancestors, we not only bless our ancestors by giving them the opportunity to accept the ordinances of the gospel, but we find great joy in serving them.
Helping our neighbors. There are many people all around us who need physical or emotional help. Many need only a visit to cheer them up. We can find personal fulfillment in looking for the needs of our neighbors and friends and meeting these needs in loving ways.
Teacher presentation
Explain that we should try to use our leisure time in a balanced way. If we only play sports or only read in our leisure time, we will not develop ourselves and bless others as well as if we did many kinds of things. If we fill our minds with uplifting material and create healthy bodies, we are more likely to develop all of our talents and abilities.
Refer once again to the wordstrip, "Time, the wise man's treasure."
- •
Do you feel that you want to change the way you use your leisure time? Do you have any new ideas for how you will use this valuable time?
Teacher presentation
Explain that much of the quality of our lives is determined by what we do in our free time. The purpose of life is not just to live long, but to live well. Time is a gift, and we should use it wisely and consider it a treasure.
Lesson Application
Have each young woman select an activity to help her better use her leisure time.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency released an interactive map of greenhouse gas emissions from large facilities.
In Kalamazoo County, the four large greenhouse gas emitters listed are Graphic Packaging
International, Inc. on North Pitcher Street (133,318 metric tons), the Kalamazoo River Generating Station on East Michigan Ave. in Comstock (5,118 metric tons), Pfizer on Portage Road in Kalamazoo Township (135,173 metric tons) and Western Michigan University (68,895 metric tons).
The map allows users to zoom in and explore data collected from 2010. It is the first time that that greenhouse gas emission data was collected from individual facilities and made easily-available to the public.
For each facility, the map shows the entire emissions as well as the different types of gases. The data can also be defined by industries, from power plants, refineries and landfills.

FRIDAY, Sept. 25 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a Public Health Alert to notify pharmacists and prescribers about the potential for dosing errors with oseltamivir (Tamiflu for Oral Suspension).
According to a Sept. 24 FDA news release, U.S. health care providers write prescriptions for most liquid medicines in milliliters or teaspoons. However, Tamiflu is dosed in milligrams, and the dosing dispenser that comes with the drug is marked only in milligrams. Consequently, the FDA has received reports of errors when dosing instructions given to patients do not match the dosing dispenser.
The agency is recommending that prescribers write doses in milligrams if the dosing dispenser with the drug is in milligrams and that pharmacists ensure that the units of measure on the dosing dispenser match those in the prescription instructions. In its Public Health Alert, the FDA provided specific considerations for Tamiflu dosing in children older than 1 year, as well as a chart showing recommended doses in both milligrams and milliliters.
According to the Public Health Alert, "prescribers should avoid prescribing Tamiflu oral suspension in teaspoons. This can lead to inaccurate dosing. If a prescription is written in teaspoons, the pharmacist should convert the volume to milliliters and ensure that an appropriate measuring device, such as an oral syringe calibrated in milliliters, is provided. The dosing dispenser packaged with the product should be discarded."

Does sleeping away your belly fat sound too good to be true?
Well it isn't.
I know your mind is conditioned to think that you have to work hard and grind to lose your belly flab but the bottom line is if you're not getting enough sleep you're probably not going to burn very much fat at all.
With the daily grind of work, kids, working out, preparing healthy meals, etc, sometimes we sacrifice a few hours of sleep per night just to keep up.
But whether you work the night shift, have a 9 to 5 gig, have kids running around, or are just a college student, you need to get regular sleep if you want to lose belly fat.
In fact, the National Sleep Foundation recommends everyone get 8 hours of normal sleep per night.
(According to the CDC and a National Health Interview Survey shows that 30% of Americans who are 30-64 years of age sleep less than 6 hours per night.)
What Is Normal Sleep?
Normal sleep consists of two man states, rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid-eye movement (non REM) sleep, and REM sleep is the type of sleep that is most associated with dreaming. Here are the stages of sleep broken down for you:
Stage 1: Light sleep. This is where you'll drift in and out and can easily be awakened. Muscle activity slows during this stage and our eye movement is slow.
Stage 2: Light sleep. Brain waves start to slow down, with occasional rapid burst of waves called sleep spindles. Eye movement stops at this stage.
Stage 3: Deep sleep. Delta waves, which are extremely slow brain waves show up at this stage, and they are mixed together with faster, smaller waves.
Stage 4: Deep sleep. There is no muscle activity or eye movements in this stage. The brain is producing mostly delta waves.
Stage 5: REM sleep. Limb muscles become temporarily paralyzed, breathing becomes more rapid, and the eyes jerk rapidly. This is the stage where you'll dream the most.
It takes most people about two hours to go through all five stages, after which, they are all repeated over and over.
As important as sleep is to your health, it has become a forgotten practice in the hustle and bustle of our fast paced American culture. This chronic sleep loss pattern is particularly troubling for those looking to lose weight or who are following a healthy weight loss diet plan because their attempts may be wasted.
Research is showing that long term sleep loss is related to an increase in obesity and diabetes.
Not good.
This new research is even showing that partial sleep deprivation can manipulate key hormones that impact weight loss and weight gain. Lack of sleep can also affect insulin sensitivity, your appetite control and the amount of energy you expend when at rest. The scary part is that when these key hormones are affected it can predispose you to weight gain and obesity by causing insulin resistance.
What's Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is a common symptom that leads to Type 2 diabetes and increased weight gain because your body must produce extra insulin to get rid of the glucose from your bloodstream. The reason your body has to produce extra insulin is because it doesn't efficiently signal, which means the blood glucose is not cleared. If this resistance continues, your pancreas becomes damaged and cannot continue to produce enough insulin.
The end result is you will need to start taking insulin medications and your weight loss will stop. Not good if your goal is a flat belly or six pack abs.
Another bad part about sleep loss is that it may also increase your appetite and give you some nasty cravings for foods that are high in carbs ALONG with creating insulin resistance. Lack of sleep not only affects your insulin sensitivity but also affects cortisol levels and numerous other hormones that directly affect feeding. The result is, you will battle an increase in appetite when your blood sugars are not in control.
What is cortisol?
Cortisol is a stress hormone that directly influences blood sugar levels and is associated with an increase in obesity and specifically belly fat. Your healthy weight loss comes to an abrupt halt when cortisol levels are elevated and some research has shown that even just 1 sleepless night may increase your cortisol levels.
A study of 33 men were examined for 36 hours and some slept 8 hours, 4 hours of sleep and also total sleep deprivation. Those who slept 4 hours had a cortisol elevation of 37% above baseline and those who had total sleep deprivation had an elevation of 45% in cortisol levels.
High cortisol levels can break down muscle protein, which then contributes to elevated blood glucose levels, which in turn can lower your metabolism because of the muscle loss.
Ok now in plain english 🙂
So what's a potential side effect of sleep loss? Well here's an interesting one. Not sleeping enough creates the opportunity to eat more daily calories. The more hours you are awake, the more chances you have to eat. I know I do every time…those late night munchies can be killer. In fact, I stayed up too late a few nights ago and ended up pounding half a box of Wheat Thins!
Now add to what I talked about above and the fact that your appetite may be elevated because of the hormones being out of whack and you should see how incredibly EASY it is to eat those additional calories…even if your will power is iron clad.
I mean come on, we all know what happens when we stay up late and are tired. You don't feel like cooking or preparing something healthy and usually want to reach for the processed convenience type foods that are or poor nutritional quality and higher in calories. Even I do sometimes!
What I like to do to prevent this from happening to me (I should have done this the other day duh) is to always have a supply of quality protein powder on hand so that I can quickly make a healthy shake instead of choosing a high calorie unhealthy food. A shake always kills my "munchies" and let's me go to bed full and wake up the next day with no regrets about ruining my diet because of a weak moment!
Don't let your healthy weight loss be ruined by making unhealthy food choices like I did the other night with the Wheat Thins. I thought I could eat just one…silly me! Hey, we all have weak moments right?
Anyways, enough about me and my silly mistakes. If you aren't getting enough sleep then start taking steps to improve your sleeping habits like sticking to a regular bedtime, avoiding alcohol before bed (and all other times too lol), try to keep your bedroom at 70 degrees or below, and turn off the TV when lying in bed.
If none of these tips work or if you feel your lack of sleep is due to a more complicated issue than this I advise you consult with a sleep doctor and have them test your sleep pattern to see if there is a bigger reason for your lack of sleep.
Talk soon,
Jamin Thompson

Three apologies to my readers
- By Daniel W. Drezner
Daniel W. Drezner is professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and a senior editor at The National Interest. Prior to Fletcher, he taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Drezner has received fellowships from the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Harvard University. He has previously held positions with Civic Education Project, the RAND Corporation, and the Treasury Department.
Following last night's presidential debate on foreign policy, I'd like to offer three quick apologies:
1) To those readers playing my debate drinking game — sorry, you got pretty hammered, didn't you? Sorry about that — I forgot that the one thing conservatives love about the United Nations is the 2002 Arab Human Development Report. When Romney name-checked that, a lot of bottles had to be downed.
2) To those readers who read my quick take in the New York Times on Mitt Romney's pivot to moderation during last night's debate — there's one crucial word missing. When I said, "Romney's sotto voce message was that he would be a hot-headed, trigger-happy cowboy – like the Last Republican President Who Shall Not Be Named." I meant to say "Romney's sotto voce message was that he would not be a hot-headed, trigger-happy cowboy – like the Last Republican President Who Shall Not Be Named."
3) Finally, to those readers who watched the whole debate — I'm sorry, there wasn't much of a foreign policy debate, was there? Both candidates pivoted towards the economy frequently. When they stayed on foreign policy, Mitt Romney kept agreeing with Barack Obama. I nearly spit out my drink when Romney said the Afghanistan surge had "worked." Methinks he must have read this post from last month.
So — to repeat — I'm sorry.
Here endeth my apology tour.

New York, December 16, 2008 – Police should observe Chinese law and proceed transparently in the investigation of two journalists arrested on bribery charges in northern Shanxi province, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Shanxi public security officials told local journalists on Monday that Guan Jian, a reporter for Beijing-based weekly Wangluo Bao (Network News) who had been missing for 15 days, is in custody in neighboring Hubei province on suspicion of accepting bribes, according to local news reports. According to Chinese law, authorities must inform family or colleagues of an arrest within 24 hours.
In a separate case, four plainclothes officers from Taiyuan arrested another journalist, Li Min, from state-run China Central Television – also on bribery charges – in her Beijing home on December 4, according to Beijing Qingnian Bao (Beijing Youth Daily).
"Investigations into bribery charges should be transparent and fully conducted according to Chinese law," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "We are concerned that bribery allegations can be easily fabricated to wrongfully imprison journalists who dig too deeply in an investigation."
Guan Jian had been reporting on irregular land deals involving a local real estate company in Taiyuan, Shanxi's capital, for his newspaper, a Science Times Media Group publication affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Security surveillance footage in a hotel in the city shows five men bundling Guan into a waiting vehicle on December 1, local and international news reports said. He has not been in contact with family or colleagues since then. Guan's son, Guan Yufei, reported his father missing to local police on December 7, according to Beijing-based financial news magazine Caijing.
Public security officials in the city of Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei province told local journalists on Tuesday that Guan had been detained on suspicion of accepting bribes in Taiyuan on December 1, Caijing reported, but no explanation for the 15-day lapse before making his status public was published.
Authorities have accused CCTV journalist Li Min of accepting gifts from the brother of a businessman involved in a corruption story she was working on, according to local news reports. Some local commentators questioned the fact that the arrest was ordered by a Shanxi district prosecutor implicated in Li's report. But the country's highest agency responsible for prosecutions and investigations, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, approved the district prosecutor's jurisdiction over the case despite the possible conflict of interest, local news reports said.
Corrupt practices exist in Chinese journalism. Gifts or cash payments, made to those carrying press credentials in return for publishing or withholding a story, are common practice, leading to concerns among local media analysts about editorial integrity.
Recent debates about media ethics have cited several cases from Shanxi province. Local journalist Lan Chenzhang was beaten to death at the site of a Shanxi mine accident in January 2007. Police accused him of posing as a journalist to extort money from the mine owners. In October, Hong Kong University's China Media Project Web site reported Chinese newspapers had raised the issue again following another mining disaster in Shanxi's Linfen city. Some journalists – and people posing as journalists – reportedly lined up to receive "gag fees" in exchange for suppressing the story.
"There is no question that local authorities in China are in the habit of using charges of corruption to target reporters who are uncovering stories," David Bandurski, at the China Media Project, told CPJ by e-mail. "But there is also little question that corruption in China's media is a worsening problem. A general lack of transparency and fairness – in the press, in the courts, in law enforcement – makes it very difficult to know what to make of any one particular case," Bandurski said.

Johnny's Restaurant Review: It's no contest, really. Cindy Wolf and Tony Foreman are Baltimore's best restaurateurs, and when the masterminds of Charleston, Petit Louis Bistro, Cinghiale and Pazo open a new place, it's a huge deal. The team has made its reputation by taking cuisines with humble origins, interpreting them with haute skill and finesse, and serving them up in romantic, atmospheric spaces. The featured cuisine at Roland Park's Johnny's is American diner chow with California-inspired Mexican and Asian accents, and the vibe is casual, farmers market chic. The handsome dining spaces, decorated with seasonal produce, include both a warren of low-ceilinged, stone-finished rooms reminiscent of wine cellars, and a lofty dining room, with beadboard accents, shelves of preserves, and homemade pies under glass domes that evoke a sweet country café. The menu in both is the same, though: breakfast (from chilaquiles to buttermilk pancakes ), burgers and sandwiches (the BLTA has avocado, applewood-smoked bacon and house-made Wonder bread), and a short list of such dinner items as grilled chicken breast with corn, zucchini and cucumber sauté, and Norwegian salmon with soy-glazed local greens. Or pass up the mains for the evening sushi café offered Tuesday through Saturday.

The mute's soliloquy: a memoir
In 1965, Pramoedya Ananta Toer was a hero of the Indonesian revolution and widely regarded as one of the best writers the country had ever produced. That year, however, as Indonesia embarked on a period of intense social unrest, Pramoedya and tens of thousands of others were detained and eventually exiled to the remote island of Buru. Imprisoned on Buru for eleven years without trial or formal accusation, Pramoedya and his fellow prisoners were forced to clear dense tracts of jungle, build camps, and forage for food. They died by the hundreds of starvation, brutality, and disease. Whether he is narrating the story of a fellow prisoner, remembering the dead and the missing, discussing what is means to be a citizen, or giving advise to his children in letters he knew they would never receive, Pramoedya's courage, integrity, and commitment to social justice are in powerful evidence.

NAPLES, Fla., Oct. 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACI Worldwide (Nasdaq:ACIW), a leading international provider of payments systems unveiled Universal Online Banker™ today, a transformational solution which will change business online banking by offering unique packaging options from a single platform, thereby opening new revenue streams for financial institutions. Traditionally, banks have been limited in how they service business customers due to the multiple platforms they had to manage based on each market segment's unique needs. Universal Online Banker's novel approach empowers financial institutions to develop an almost limitless number of product packages, each designed for a unique market and customer needs. "The lack of a single product for all types of business customers is a long standing industry challenge," said Matt Ellis, senior vice president, online, ACI Worldwide. "Most financial institutions maintain separate platforms to service different online banking customer segments, creating multiple redundancies and inefficiencies. Universal Online Banker will allow the customers of financial institutions to offer product options which fulfill unique customer needs while eliminating the antiquated silo model. This re-imagined approach will result in stronger customer relationships while offering financial institutions a variety of potential new revenue streams." "The working capital management needs of large corporations, middle market companies and even small businesses are increasingly similar," said Marc Harrison, a consultant with Greenwich Associates. "Treasury professional and business owners alike want to view account balances, move money and improve workflow. A unified approach which meets the needs of all businesses is sorely needed. This new method should benefit financial institutions as it could lead to reduced expenses and encourage cross-sell." In addition to enabling financial institutions to offer a uniquely customizable solution, Universal Online Banker offers traditional online, mobile banking and cash management features as well as a new leading edge functionality that will help drive brand differentiation in the market. Some of the features are:
- A user-defined dashboard enabling a quick snapshot of critical information which can provide insightful and immediate information for the user to act upon.
- A notification center with enhanced real-time alerts which the financial institutions business clients can act upon from anywhere within the application.
- Secure messaging and robust target marketing campaign capabilities driving cross-sell opportunities which will provide the end user with a wide selection of program options.

Credit card debts that had been outstanding for six months totaled ¥7.43 billion ($1 = ¥6.83) in China as of 30 September 2009, up 28.6% quarter-on-quarter and 126.5% year-on-year, said Monday the People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank. Debts overdue for six months are usually expected not to be collected and are hence written off as bad debts. The outstanding amount accounted for 3.4% of the total repayable credit card loans by that point, up 0.3 percentage points on the end of the June quarter. From January through August, 6,362 credit card fraud cases involving ¥440 million were filed in the country, up 200% and 238% compared to the same period last year.

To jump to the question, 22LR or a .223? I've basically got a .22 already but it's actually my girlfriends. I don't have a .223 at all but I've wanted on for a good while now and I've been seeing more and more of that caliber coming to the Walmart by me.
What they would both be used for is gopher shooting anywhere from 10-300 yards, the .223 would be used on nothing larger then a coyote at about 300 yards or less. I've already got a .243 for deer and the reloading equipment.
I think the reason a .223 seems so "awesome" to me is that it's a low recoil caliber so there's a good chance my girlfriend would actually use it. It also just has a cool factor to me since the military uses that caliber (more or less).
So that being said, what would you guys go with? I'm still looking for essentially a budget rifle around 3-400ish. Maybe a small bit more.
1 Attachment(s)
Buy the 22lr....
Why ???
One answer cheaper!!!
I bought a gsg 522 and I love it. Mags hold 22 rounds and I can shoot all day.
Sig 522 is another awesome 22lr
For 500 dollars you can own a awesome 22 assault rifle and a few thousand rounds.
For 2,000 you can own an okay ar15 and 1,000 rounds. " due to current supply and demand"
I would stay away from 223, the craziness here lately is driving the price of ammo up and making it difficult to find, only a matter of time before the shortages reach your neck of the woods.
Sputnik, that's my "fear." I don't want to walk into the gun store and find out their clean out of .223, even the 500round ammo cans. So I'm still not totally sure.
I'd probably go with 223 then, just buy up a couple thousand rounds of ammo while it's available and affordable.
There's always the 7.62x54R:eek: It's cheap... overkill, but cheap, plus IIRC you can buy SVT40s for a lot less up there.
I actually looked into an SVT when I first got my FAC, planned on going with a bunch of older style military firearms for a collection. I just couldn't find anywhere that sells them aside from online and out of my province. I also want something I can get accurate factory ammunition for until I buy some reloading dies for said caliber.
you're right the 223 is very gentle in regards to recoil. can be very accurate at the distances you stated.
might i suggest the Marlin XS7VH in 223? well within the budget you have listed. IIRC, you are in Canada, so your price might be a little higher, but MSRP here is $396. i gave about $370 for my XS7VH in 308. since you already are starting to reload, just add the 223 into the mix as well.
I would love to have an SVT, but they are about $1000 in the states. :(

NURSES based at Southend Hospital have told of their heartache at seeing their relatives suffer following a devastating earthquake in the Philippines.
Sarah Sagosoy, staff nurse on Gordon Hopkins ward, Maria Asuncion Fontanilla, healthcare assistant on the medical assessment unit and Hazel Pondoc, a theatre staff nurse all come from villages struck by the quake, which has killed more than 200 people and injured 700.
The 7.2 magnitude quake destroyed parts of their family homes on Bohol Island and left their relatives homeless. A campaign has now been launched on the Sita Lumsden ward, the critical care unit, to send out old summer clothes, shoes and slippers for those affected by the disaster.
Maria lost her two cousins in the earthquake and her parents, Cornelio, 68, and Beinvinidat Grandeaderos, 78, now live in a tent as their house is too damaged to stay in.
She said: "I'm thankful my parents are safe, but saddened about the loss of lives of so many people.
"No one has been allowed to go back to their houses.
"Most of the houses have been knocked down anyway but those still standing are full of rubbish.
"My father is in a wheelchair.
There have been aftershocks every day which only stopped two days ago and there has been very heavy rain.
"It has been very difficult for them."
Lani Harper, staff nurse on Sita Lumsden ward, said: "The upper floor of Sarah's family home has collapsed, but her parents have chosen to remain there as they have nowhere else to go.
They sleep near the front door in fear of the whole house collapsing.
"When I asked how her family were, she told me about the damage, but said she is just glad they survived and that whatever is broken can be mended.
"She has donated a sack of rice to her village as food is very scarce.
"That sums up the kind of nurse Sarah is. In spite of her hardships, she still thinks of those less fortunate than her."
To help the campaign and make a donation to the clothes bank call Maria on 07771 923308.

(NEW YORK) — Major League Baseball has suspended New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and 12 other players for violations of the organization's Basic Agreement and its Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Aside from Rodriguez, the 12 players who were suspended include: the Rangers' Nelson Cruz, the Tigers' Jhonny Peralta, the Phillies' Antonio Bastardo, the Yankees' Francisco Cervelli and Fernando Martinez, the Mets' Jordany Valdespin and Cesar Puello, the Mariners' Jesus Montero, the Astros' Sergio Escalona, and free agents Jordan Noberto and Fautino De Los Santos.
Those 12 players will all receive 50 game suspensions, but Rodriguez has been suspended throughout the rest of this season as well as the 2014 season.
The 38-year-old Rodriguez has yet to suit up for the Bronx Bombers this season due to off-season hip surgery.
"As a social institution with enormous social responsibilities, Baseball must do everything it can to maintain integrity, fairness, and a level playing field," MLB Commissioner Bud Selig said in statement. "We are committed to working together with players to reiterate that performance-enhancing drugs will not be tolerated in our game."
During his career with the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and the Yankees, the 14-time All-Star has batted .300 with 647 home runs, 1950 RBIs and 1,898 runs in 2,524 regular season games. He's fifth on the all-time home runs list, 13 behind former San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays.
"We are in full support of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. We also recognize and respect the appeals process. Until the process under the Drug Program is complete, we will have no comment. We are confident that the process outlined in the Drug Program will result in the appropriate resolution of this matter. In the meantime, the Yankees remain focused on playing baseball," the Yankees said in a statement.
"However, we are compelled to address certain reckless and false allegations concerning the Yankees' role in this matter. The New York Yankees in no way instituted and/or assisted MLB in the direction of this investigation; or used the investigation as an attempt to avoid its responsibilities under a player contract; or did its medical staff fail to provide the appropriate standard of care to Alex Rodriguez. Separately, we are disappointed with the news today of the suspension of Francisco Cervelli. It's clear that he used bad judgment," the statement continued.
Rodriguez captured his only World Series Championship in 2009 as a member of the Yankees.

Chances offered by national heroes shouldn't be wasted
The China Post news staff Saturday, October 20, 2012, 4:08 pm TWN
Locals were overjoyed earlier this week when our small island country once again made its name internationally after a group of video game players defeated South Korea to win a million-dollar competition in the U.S.
The Taipei Assassins took home the top honor at the "League of Legends" Season 2 World Championship held in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The team's five members, aged between 19-23, won US$1 million in prize money. But more importantly, the triumph once again allowed the global community to witness the talent of Taiwanese youth and the nation's soft power, making these youngsters the latest "glory of Taiwan."
The championship title led to the local media's latest round of mania, with almost all local newspapers running the story on their front pages. They praised the players' amazing performances and took special pleasure in the team's title win over South Korea, Taiwan's main rival in almost every field on the world stage.
The wide media coverage also prompted lawmakers to urge the government to draw up concrete policies to bolster Taiwan's rising video game industry and to help professional gamers.
In response, Premier Sean Chen promised that the Cabinet will consider amending military service regulations so that elite young gamers can choose substitute roles in the future.
Education Minister Chiang Wei-ling (蔣偉寧) also said a mechanism could be established to grant top gamers admission to prestigious colleges.
While congratulating the Taipei team on putting the name of Taiwan in the global spotlight, The China Post would also like to give credit to the central government for its willingness to put more emphasis on the nation's gaming industry.
With the possible assistance of the state, more Taiwanese youths who are interested in playing online games could be given an opportunity to explore their potential.
Government intervention could also boost local participation in online gaming, which is seen as an official sport in many countries and is also a profitable industry for local companies to invest in.
However, we would also like to remind the government that policies must be forward-thinking and comprehensive if they are to be of real help to the industry in the long run.

duce it, he is arrested forthwith and charged with smuggling, although most German Jews nowadays are withdrawing their capital and sharing it with the impoverished or for other relief purposes.
Eventually all Jewish bank accounts will be entirely confiscated, it was disclosed to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency by a leading German Nationalist.
"The Jews would do best to leave Germany as soon as possible," he warned. "Although everything is quiet on the surface, no one can tell what may happen suddenly to thousands of Jews. The possibility of mass slaughter is not excluded while the nationalization of Jewish accounts and property is a certainty."
A Nazi leader who has not generally shared in the hostile attitude of his associates toward the Jews, and who is well-informed as to the Government's intentions, corroborated this statement.
German firms are openly taking advantage of the anti-Jewish feeling to stimulate the boycott against the Jews and are advertising in the German press urging prospective purchasers to "Buy only Aryan-made goods." As an example, the Sarotti firm, makers of chocolate, in advertisements today, point out that although the firm is Swiss-owned, not only are "Aryan" workers exclusively employed, but that a majority of the company's stock is held by "Aryans."
The tailoring and clothing industry has been circularized by some of its members who complain against Jewish firms which describe their goods as "German products", thus "deliberately or unintentionally misguiding the public." While the industry does not object to the German label on Jewish products destined for export, there is objection to such description on goods to be sold in Germany, the circular points out.

Beloved talk show host Oprah Winfrey may have landed the most coveted interview of 2012 with the late Whitney Houston's 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina, but sources close to the troubled teen are saying certain family members have heartfelt concerns over the timing of the one-on-one with the talk show veteran.
"There is still no resolution and there has been nothing concrete on the cause of [Whitney's] death, and they were hoping for that," a Houston family friend reveals to PEOPLE. "There were members of the family who weren't keen on [the interview] going down at this time."
"There are people who just want her to stay out of the limelight for a while," the friend adds. "This is a little girl who just needs some time."
Bobbi Kristina – who reportedly expressed interest "to walk in her parents' footsteps" in a singing or acting career – is currently spending time with her aunt Patricia Houston and Whitney's brother Gary Houston.
"She's so very young and impressionable," says the source. "She has to start finding herself as a woman on her own as opposed to defining herself as Whitney's daughter and Whitney's support. It's kind of interesting to see what's going to happen to her from here on in."
Bobbi Kristina's interview will air Sunday (March 11) on OWN's Oprah's Next Chapter.

An allotment once plagued by vandalism was reopened on Friday as a secure wildlife garden for Soham school children.
The allotment at Berrycroft, run by retired Thorn Close resident John Curtis, is now used to teach pupils of The Weatheralls primary school about growing vegetables, flowers and wildlife.
It was repeatedly targeted, with over 40 incidents of vandalism reported to Soham Town Council by 2011, but is now protected by two gates and a six foot fence.
"Over the past several years we had so many problems with thefts and vandalism because the site wasn't fenced in," said John Curtis, "so we decided that we had to do something about it.
"It's rewarding to see positive results coming from the children and I hope that we are sowing the seeds for the next generation of growers and nature lovers."
Mr Curtis was told to make it a community project by East Cambridgeshire District Council if funding were to be awarded for security and to lay a water supply to the plot.
Work began in April last year and it has a pond, owl, nest and bird boxes, picnic area, raised beds, a wild flower meadow and picnic area.
The president of The National Allotment Society, Karen Kenny, attended the ceremony and cut a ribbon. "I thought it was excellently thought out and an excellent educational resource for the children. Their enthusiasm was wonderful."
"It has been a real inspiration for us," said The Weatheralls year 5 tutor Rebecca Layfield. "It's fabulous for the children."

TRINITY — With the potent Mitchell offense in charge most of the night, the Mustangs toppled Hudson 39-7 in Thursday's preseason classic rematch.
Star back Ricky Trinidad put on a spectacular exhibition, picking up where he left off the past two seasons. Rushing for 178 yards on 10 carries and two touchdowns, he shared carries with Mordell Holly (seven carries, 62 yards, one touchdown) and Eddie Musto (14 carries, 85 yards).
"The offensive line did a great job from start to finish," Mitchell coach Brian Wachtel said, "and the running backs blocked well, too."
Matt Michaels (2-for-5, 18 yards, one touchdown) looked good under center as the Mitchell offense outgained its Hudson counterparts 394-72.
First-year Hudson quarterback Cody Beck got the hang of running the offense in the second half when his unit started moving the ball. Beck ran in a 31-yard touchdown with 5:09 left in the third quarter for Hudson's lone score.
It was sweet revenge for the Mustangs. During last year's preseason classic with Hudson, Mitchell was dealt what seemed like a devastating blow when quarterback Cody Van de Boe injured his right knee.
Michaels, a junior at the time, took over and went on to lead the team to an 8-0 start as the program narrowly missed the postseason. It was an odd twist of fate few could have seen coming, but it goes to show how far-reaching every play on the field is.
"We had a lot of butterflies out there at first as a team after being off for so long," Trinidad said, "but it felt good to beat them."

Chemotherapy is highly effective at killing cancer cells, but at the same time it kills healthy cells too. One promising new development in the treatment of advanced testicular cancer is bone marrow transplantation. In this procedure, the patient receives drugs to coax their own blood-forming stem cells from the bone marrow into the blood stream. The stem cells are then filtered from the bloodstream and frozen for transplantation back into the body after high-dose chemotherapy treatment.
Stem cell transplantation gives the body back its own bone marrow cells, replenishing those that were destroyed during chemotherapy treatment. With the ability to preserve vital bone marrow–producing red blood cells, oncologists can use higher doses of chemotherapy to attack resistant cancer cells, potentially increasing the cure rate.

A Norwegian mobile phone dealer sought a way to attract potential clients who were still using standard fixed phone systems. This great direct mail piece focused on the idea that the holdouts weren't afraid of technology, but rather that they simply loved their traditional phone handsets too much to surrender them. The old-school receiver came with adapters that allowed it to attach to common cell phone models in order to help the recipient adjust during the "transitional period." It's the perfect attention-getter, and the devices are sure to generate lots of conversation in the offices where they are received.
For those of you who have already joined the cell phone revolution, check out our selection of Custom Cell Phone Accessories.

Tea time
Those who watched President Barack Obama's speech about debt reduction and raising the debt limit Monday night, followed by House Speaker John Boehner's opposing remarks, may have been struck by a key point in both speeches.
Simply put, the debate has moved significantly over the past few months, to the point that both men were talking about how to cut trillions of dollars of federal spending.
As recently as February, Obama introduced a 2012 budget plan that would have significantly increased federal spending, even as it claimed to reduce the federal debt over the next decade.
Credit the tea party and its supporters with moving the discussion more in the direction of spending cuts. Whether one loves them or hates them, it's clear the intransigence of those members of Congress who claim tea party support has moved the goal posts with respect to the debt. Raising the debt ceiling isn't the automatic action it once was, and it now must be tied to spending cuts.
Despite their agreement on spending cuts, a chasm still divides Boehner and Obama. Obama wants to include revenue increases, through closed tax loopholes, in a settlement. Boehner says, "No."
Closing some of those loopholes and reforming the tax code is necessary for dealing with our long-term debt. But that now appears to be off the table for the short-term effort to raise the debt ceiling. Even the plan offered Monday by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid contains no revenue increases. For that, you can also thank tea partiers who have refused to budge on the tax issue.
We don't know whether Congress will act this week in time to prevent the federal government from defaulting on some debt and possibly sending the economy into a tailspin. We hope David Brooks is right, in his column below, that Boehner and Reid are now in a position to craft a limited compromise to prevent default.
But even those who detest the tea party must admit it has changed the debate and made debt reduction a key part of both parties' platforms. In the long run, that will be good for this country.

Barriers to network-specific innovation
We consider an environment in which participants make payments over a network and can invest in a technology that reduces the marginal cost of using the network. A network effect results in multiple equilibria; either all agents invest and usage of the network is high or no agents invest and usage of the network is low. The high-usage equilibrium can be implemented through introduction of a coordinator. Under monopoly network ownership, however, fixed costs associated with use of the network-specific technology result in a hold-up problem that implements the low-investment equilibrium. And even where subsidies can avoid such hold-up, optimal monopoly pricing of network usage may avoid investment in the network-specific technology if demand for on-network transactions is sufficiently inelastic.

I agree
I just wanted to say that I agree with Tycho on this one. My opinion is that WOW is the best MMO ever made. The problem is that I don't get to play it nearly as much as I'd like.
I think it's important to note that the only reason we're so upset here is because we want so desperately to play Blizzard's awesome game. It's the fact that these server outages and crazy bugs are keeping us from their masterpiece that makes us so frustrated. Even when I am able to log in it's often the case that the terrible lag makes their game equally unplayable.
I do not share the opinion of so many WOW forum goers that Blizzard is indifferent to our complaints. I honestly believe they want to fix their broken game and I think they are trying hard to do so. I just wish they'd give some real information about what's going on. I'm sick of reading the worthless puff pieces and interviews with questions like "How awesome is your game?" I don't want to read anymore about how Battle Grounds is going to revolutionize my ass. I want them to address the crippling technical issues with the game I am paying monthly for in an honest way, and tell me what they're doing to fix them.
