Gold fell to the lowest price since January after Federal Reserve policy makers raised their assessment of the economy, signaling that monetary stimulus won't be expanded.
Gold for immediate delivery fell 1.8 percent to $1,670.15 an ounce at 3:53 p.m. New York time, after slipping as much as 2.2 percent to $1,666.13, the lowest since Jan. 25.
The Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement that the labor market was improving. The dollar climbed against a basket of major currencies, eroding the investment appeal of gold. On Feb. 29, the spot price of the metal plunged 4.9 percent, the most since December 2008, after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke damped speculation that the central bank would take new steps to bolster liquidity.
"This is a big disappointment for gold investors who are anticipating additional stimulus," Phil Streible, a commodity broker at RJO Futures in Chicago, said in a telephone interview after the Fed statement at 2:15 p.m. "People are still favoring the dollar."
Gold futures for April delivery dropped 0.3 percent to settle at $1,694.20 an ounce at 1:50 p.m. on the Comex in New York. In electronic trading after the close, the most-active contract fell as much as 2.2 percent to $1,662.10, also the lowest since Jan. 25.
Silver futures for May delivery rose 0.5 percent to close at $33.581 an ounce on the Comex.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, platinum futures for April delivery gained 0.4 percent to settle at $1,701.80 an ounce. Palladium futures for June delivery climbed 0.7 percent at $708.85 an ounce.

Residents blame total neglect by owners and the civic body
Open residential plots that dot many of the newly promoted residential layouts and even some within the heart of the city are proving to be civic nuisance and a health hazard.
Although the problem is common across the city, it is felt more acutely in low-lying areas such as Karumandapam. More than a dozen colonies between Karumandapam and Dheeran Nagar, a two-km stretch on the Tiruchi-Dindigul Highway, have scores of such vacant spaces right in the midst of well-developed and developing layouts such as Sakthi Nagar, Thiru Nagar, New Selva Nagar, Alpha Nagar, JP Nagar and Kalyanasundaram Nagar.
Acquired as a long-term investment by residents within the city and those who have migrated to other parts of the country who do not have any immediate plans of constructing houses, these open plots are now turning into sewage ponds and convenient dumping grounds for solid waste by some callous residents and shopkeepers in the vicinity. The recent spells of showers over the past fortnight in the city has only aggravated the problem.
The sewage and rain water stagnating at these plots have turned breeding grounds for mosquitoes. With the entire area still remaining out of the underground sewer network of the city, open drains constructed in some of the colonies by the corporation often seep into the open plots.
The drains do not have a proper disposal arrangement and consequently, the drains by themselves present a picture of squalor in places such as Sakthi Nagar.
"The stagnant sewage in empty plots and accumulation of solid wastes pose a major problem. It is time that the civic authorities initiate some measures to clean up the open spaces or devise some ways to force the owners to maintain their plots properly," says Balan, a resident from Karumandapam.
Residents also complain that the total neglect of the plots by both the owners and the civic body has resulted in thick growth of bushes.
"People who have bought the plots as an investment option should maintain them at least once three months. But they hardly bother to do so. Consequently, the wild growth offers a good refuge to snakes and insects. It is not safe to go around some of these places surrounded by the empty plots in the nights," regrets C.Balasubramanian, a resident of the locality and president of the District Exnora.
The corporation faced with a severe shortage of sanitary staff hardly has the manpower to clean up vast areas in the interior areas of residential colonies.
Corporation Commissioner V.P. Thandapani's recent initiative to organise mass cleaning campaigns in specific wards has been stymied by the opposition from councillors who resist any attempt to mobilise the sanitary workers assigned to their wards to other parts of the city.
A section of residents feel that the civic body should continue such mass cleaning drives, at least by roping in service organisations.

crying myself to sleep with a knife to my wrist. The smell of alcohol on my breath. This is how i am living, and i hate it. I just wish i could stop, stop all of it. I wish i had a handle on my life. But lest afce it i don't i can not control my self anymore. and today i began to slip back into to bad stuff, i have stopped eating again...i thought i was over that, but i guess i truely never will be.
1) Why I just took the bisexual quiz, and it told me I was "Definitely not bisexual"... ummm, no. Wrong. Thank you for playing, please try again.
2) Why I woke up this morning and started worrying about having children, and explaining it to my mom...
Trevor broke up with me, but I haven't cried or cut myself or anything. I think I realized I mixed up love and lust. I'm starting to think I will never find love.
Rachael still likes me and I really like her. But she hasn't asked me out again, and I'm kinda afraid to ask her out. She's one of my best friends and I don't want to lose that.
Joey hasn't said anything about going out, and he's acting like a jackass, so I say: fuck him and not literally.
*smirk...grimace* Does anyone know where the bathroom in this place is? Thanks.
Ah yes, I knew you would be frustrated. And I know I've been gone a HELLUVA long time. But don't worry, I haven't changed much, aside from a recent personality disorder I've developed. Yes. Anyhow, It's 4:30, I've been doing Public Policy problem sets for the last three hours, and I will certainly give you a much more adequate update sometime tomorrow. *MUAH* I love you all. And Lauren...*waves frantically* I'm right here!
Normal ramblings of a confused child with so much hope yet so little future................................................................don't click here..............blah blah blah........read on
Tonight I hurt someone really badly. I risked loosing them and their love, along with their trust. I did something really horrible, which I regret, and what's worse is that I did it to protect myself. I made that person cry, I messed with their mind, and I feel like killing myself. I never in my wildest dreams, thought someone could cry over me, let alone someone who has known me for less than a month.
hmmmm....Well i am really fucked up. I have scars on my writs from when i couldn't handle the pian inside. I wanted to hurt myself even more i stopped eating and lost 12 pounds in 2 months. I have a really fucked up realationship with my parents. And i fucked up my realationship with the only person in the world who i thought truly cared about, and the wrost part is i know i am the one who fucked it up. I really just want it all to go back to when i wasn't fucked up, when i loved my parents, when they loved me.
me gods. 12 days and counting. that means that there will be at least 12 more rants...LOL.
Maggie complaining. It happens sometimes.
Perhaps I spoke too soon. Today, Tuesday I've run into difficulty. I sat at the black table at dinner and had nice conversation with a friend.
Chapter 1: Passing Notes
Maybe it was the phone call last night
I ask myself why can't catch up with people I see around me and I ask myself why I'm doing this.
As I emerge from the dining hall
tired, full
the world is as bright as the day is long
bright with snow
bright as winter
through the long white expanse, I walk
on paked down snow, cold and barren
as the frigid air that smaks my cheek

War Is Necessary Lyrics - Nas
Review The Song (1)
War is necessary
War brings pain
But war is necessary
War brings peace
Cause war is necessary
Getcha warriors up
Cause my niggas are war ready
War brings hate
(Esco let's go let's go let's go)
War is necessary
War brings pain
(Esco let's go)
Getcha warriors up
Cause my niggas are war ready
My niggas war ready
[Verse 1]
Staring at the face of my watch, its like a crystal ball
With the ability to make the issue stall
I told my man duck, cause I know where the missile fall
Cause the ice is a fortune teller for the rich or small
Went to my man's crib who dead and saw his picture fall
I picked it up, his voice whispered nigga ball
So I smoke the finest, (85 for the ocean liners?)
I do it for the have not's of (?)
That resembles screen savers on ya lap tops
And they cant believe it like seeing that nigga's (ab?) drop
I be in Cameroon bandanas on silk Dior
Sip cream liqueur, green and blue FLIA velour's suits
Boss smooth, the only thing I endorse duke
Stash houses, gamble, I don't sweat a (loss/lost) (troop?/lawsuit?)
(All true in living god?) we was here first
Parisian linen ...
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Who's crew was realist? Shot up the movie theaters
Time square, 88 who's crew was in it
(Photographed was?) sittin on wood wicker chairs
40oz in the lap, givin off wicked stares
Punch out kings, bustin pistols in the air
Hangin out a Cutlass Supreme window like "bitch come here"
Girls cussin back at us with the fattest asses
Like "who you callin bitch little black bastards"
We had to wave the flag, here come they baby dad
Drug dealers in the crazy jag looking crazy mad
They all thought they was sparkle, fucking killer men
But we was all black seeds as Fred Williamson
It was so simple.
Now I'm refelctin in this (gold Enzo?)
Face it, my favorite trinket was that Teddy riley guy bracelet
So now its fly shit I'm draped in. Customized shit I'm makin

War brings peace | Reviewer: WhiteLoL | 5/11/11
I 'dig' this lyrics , at least the part from it that can be related to any race not just blacks. As in most NAS's tracks I've heard, there is really clever choice of words to this song. "War is necessary, war brings peace", which to my understanding is that after every horrible thing, there might be a good thing after all. But than again "Cause my niggas are war ready" kinda' ruins it a bit. I won't analyze the ins and outs of afro american culture because I come from country which has no black culture whatsoever, but this part is like saying they should start a riot or something. That's no solution to problems. Like Ice Cube said.. fuc* them with their own bullshit if you may.
Sincerely, whiteboy from the other side of the globe.

Halo 5: Guardians has left me oddly cold and worried
by Abel Girmay
I am not opposed to change. While certain circles of Halo fans find it popular to hate Halo 4, I've always appreciated what 343 Industries did with that game. Sprint was a logical next step to character movement, while loadout abilities such as shielding, dexterity, and promethean vision felt like natural additions to Halo's formula.
With Halo 5: Guardians, well, I'm not quite so excited with what 343 is doing. During my time with Guardians I often struggled to find that feeling of playing a Halo game.view full story + comments
Here's how Halo: Combat Evolved's PC multiplayer looks on Xbox One
by Bill Zoeker
At a recent Xbox event, I got to play a bunch of multiplayer stuff in Halo: The Master Chief Collection. I was caught off guard when we were suddenly dropped into the online multiplayer for Halo: Combat Evolved's PC version, which was added to this Xbox One anthology to compensate for the original Xbox version's lack of online play. Naturally, when I posted this video on YouTube, there were a bunch of angry comments from people who got confused and thought of tricking them into thinking The Master Chief Collection was on PC to scam clicks because they have trouble comprehending sentence structure. Sigh. Anyway, Halo is cool.view full story + comments
Review: Halo: The Master Chief Collection
by Chris Carter
Although Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary was a noble effort to remaster the original game that brought first-person shooters on consoles into a post-Goldeneye era, I couldn't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the overall package.
I enjoyed the idea of replaying the original, but there weren't enough bells and whistles to keep me interested for a lengthy period of time. Enter the Master Chief Collection, which not only gives you the remake of the first game, but a fully-featured remaster of Halo 2, as well as Halo 3 and 4.
I never thought I'd see the day when four major Halo games are under one roof [disc], but here we are. With promises of full 1080p support and 60 frames-per-second across every game, Halo: The Master Chief Collection follows through where it counts, and is now the new standard for remakes.view full story + comments

Master Chief Collection seems to deliver on most of its promises
by Bill Zoeker
I recently got to check out Halo: The Master Chief Collection at an Xbox event, which gave me a big ol' happy, because I love me some sweet, sweet Covie-killing action. In 343 Industries' presentation, they spent half of the time talking about The Halo Channel, which seems neat if you're into that sort of thing, but it rather bores me. They also informed us that Halo 3 and Halo 4 are being up-scaled to 1080p, and touched up a bit with current-gen lighting effects and such.
The main focus of the Halo showing was, of course, Halo 2: Anniversary Edition. We saw a sample of the cutscenes from this overhaul, all of which are being redone, and which looks incredible compared to the original. We also got to put our hands on some of the multiplayer, which feels just like the original, with the exception of the Gungoose.view full story + comments

The Halo Channel is a huge indicator of Microsoft's plans for the franchise
by Brett Makedonski
Xbox's flagship franchise isn't something that Microsoft's going to stray from anytime soon. Why would it? If there was any doubt about Halo's lasting appeal, it was dashed with the E3 reveal of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Life was suddenly jolted into fans of the franchise as many that weren't on-board with the Xbox One resigned themselves to getting the console primarily to pick up the four-in-one package.
As The Master Chief Collection provides an experience that ties together the included titles, Microsoft wants to offer a means to tie together everything Halo that fans could possibly want. At the company's gamescom 2014 press briefing, The Halo Channel was introduced, and during a speed run meeting with 343 Industries, we got a better glimpse at what it'll be like.view full story + comments

Auckland CBD eats?
My wife and I are coming to Auckland 22-26 December. We're staying at the Rydges Auckland while there. Where's good to eat for B-L-D nearby? What's open during the holidays? Any hidden treasures we should check out?
re: sinbarambam
Prices: Inexpensive
Food Preferences: Asian, seafood, lamb, Indian, whatever is typically New Zealandish, meat pies?
So, obviously, we are not vegetarians
Khao Thai on O'Connell Street is great. I work in the building above there and they have good menu, cheap prices. 90% of the menu is under NZ$20.
The bad news, part 1: topography. You'll be on the west side of the CBD; the food on the east side tends to be slightly better and cheaper -- except on the campuses, where the food is much cheaper and much worse. Separating east and west is Queen Street (the main street) which is basically a valley sloping down towards the harbour. So it takes more time and effort to walk from one side of the CBD to the other than you might think when looking at a map. There's also a north-south gradient: up the hill on Karangahape Road -- almost always abbreviated to K Road -- there are a lot of cheap and interesting eats, while by the waterfront most things cost more than they should. The good news is that if you're willing to walk, you can not only eat well but also burn off any extra calories you may have consumed.
The bad news, part 2: "New Zealandish" food tends to be much better in homes than in restaurants, especially at the inexpensive end, so if you want roast lamb your best bet is to make friends with a Kiwi. Otherwise, just look for a pub with a menu that interests you and take your chances. (The gastropub trend is just beginning to make an impact on NZ, but it needs to hurry up.)
One major exception to the above is Pie Mania (36 Wellesley St), the second-best pie shop in Auckland -- the absolute best is Greenland Bakery, but that's way out in Botany -- and conveniently close to your hotel to boot.
The other good news is that the average quality of Asian food in Auckland, including Indian but excluding Middle Eastern, is pretty high, probably better than the Bay Area (where I spend most of my time), though the Bay Area has more elite-level places. In general, NZ seafood + Asian preps = good eats. Your best strategy might be to go to the food courts; the best-known of these is Food Alley (9-11 Albert St), also near your hotel. I used to like the Indonesian stall there but I don't know if it's still good.
Some specific recommendations follow, but bear in mind I'm only in Auckland for one month a year now -- my last visit was July-August -- so I can't keep up like I used to.
For Chinese, you're not too far from Grand Harbour (at Pakenham St & Custom St), my pick for yum cha/dim sum. Holds its own against all but the very top places in the Bay Area. Sunshine (39 Market Place), its main competition, is nearby if you want to do a comparison. In the east CBD, Mei Long Zhen (9 Gore St) has decent Shanghainese, and there's a Sichuan place near there whose name I'm blanking on.
My noodle bar ranking on my last trip was 1. Men Tatz (east CBD: 28 Lorne St), 2. Tanpopo (east: 13 Anzac Ave), 3. Daikoku (several branches; the one I went to was at 25 Victoria St in the west CBD -- this was sort of an izakaya). Kiraku (Elliot St) has its fans as well. I have a hard time keeping the yakitori places straight but all the ones I've been to have been fine. Ditto for Korean.
Southeast Asian food is not as good as it should be, with exceptions. My top pick is Zap 4 (east: 6 Commerce St) for Thai; go for the Lao/Issan dishes on the whiteboard. Lots of decent Malaysian places; Angie's Kitchen (east: 17 Mount St) has the advantage of assam laksa. If Angie's is full, as it often is, Princeton Restaurant (30 Symonds St) for Cambodian is nearby.
Go to Satya for South Indian and chaat. Nearest branch is 271 K Road.
There are many, many doner kebab places and most of them are rubbish. Fortunately it's easy to pick out the reasonable places: just look at the meat on the spits. If the meat is sliced, it's worth a shot; if it looks like mystery meat, get out of there.
Finally, the two best Asian restaurants in town IMO (with Satya a close third) are fairly short bus or taxi rides away: Tom Yum Eden (257 Dominion Road, Mt Eden) and HP8 (49 Nuffield St, Newmarket, not the Carlton Gore branch). At Tom Yum Eden, much of the best stuff is on the Thai-language menu; if you're adventurous, try asking for the pad sataw. The Newmarket HP8 can get expensive (the signature water-boiled fish is $48, although it's a very large dish) but remains the best Sichuanese I've had, having never been to China (besides Hong Kong). Bear in mind that HP8's owners seems to be putting more effort into their more lucrative yum cha restaurant, so HP8 might not be great, or even open, for long.

Auckland is a very multicultural city, and with over 10% of the population of Asian heritage, you will find excellent quality Asian restaurants mixed in average ones. You have to seek out the good ones - My number 1 pick for Asian food in Auckland is Korean followed by Thai then Japanese. Auckland has 30,000 Koreans and they like to eat out - here are the best Korean restaurants with a few menu recommendations:
1) Nolbune Restaurant; 436 Queen St, City
This is the best Korean food in Auckland. How do I know? Because I worked at the Korean consulate for 2 years and this restaurant is the first choice of the Consul-General and Korean diplomats I worked with. The flavours are the closest to what you would find in Korea, and there are some delightfully unusual options on the menu. Also this restaurant has fast and friendly service. My recommendations:
* Ggotgyetang - spicy fresh crab soup with vegetables
* Ggorigomtang - ox tail in a clear broth, always tender and succulent, non spicy
* Daegutang - Cod fish soup to die for, aromatic succulent and spicy
* Osambulgogi - a medley of fresh squid and pork belly mixed in rustic spicy gochujang on a sizzlinig plate
* samgyetang - whole spatchcock stuffed with ginseng and sticky rice cooked in a clear broth in a stone bowl
* Naengmyeon - buckwheat noodles beautifully presented with fresh vegetables in a light beef broth, chilled with ice cubes - traditional summer food
On the more unusual side:
* Agujjim - frogfish cooked with bean sprouts, very spicy (not sure what frogfish is, but it tastes like and has the consistency of a freshwater fish)
* Doganitang - beef tendon slow cooked to gooey perfection in a clear broth
2) Faro; Lorne St, City
This is a new restaurant that has only been open for 2 months and has an upmarket contemporary Korean decor with loads of atmosphere. One of the few places in Central Auckland where you can get a traditional charcoal BBQ to grill your kalbi and samgyupsal at the table. I've only eaten here twice but had good experiences both times - except they were understaffed - I particularly enjoyed the galbijjim - beef rib stew - so it is nice for a more 'fine dining Korean' experience though the consular staff still swear by Nolbune's food!
For Thai - see earlier posts about Zap 2 and Zap 4, and Tom Yum Eden - though I would highly recommend the Thai House, 25 Ponsonby Road, for a more upmarket feel. Their Goong Share (raw prawns w/ chilli, garlic, and lemon juice is exceptional as is their chilli fried snapper). There is also a lovely Thai in Mission Bay called Ruaan Thai which is slightly more geared to western tastes but still good and is worth a visit for their exquisite royal thai decor, its very romantic and right on the sea.
I would advise to take care with other Thai and Korean restaurants in NZ as they tend to alter the flavours to cater for 'NZ tastes' and things start getting served drowned in salty brown sauces with frozen peas sneaking in ...
Lastly, there is an excellent Japanese on Queen St diagonally opposite Nolbune called TANUKI - this is where I head for authentic Japanese in the city - try their sashimi platter, beef tataki, and teriyaki salmon all at very reasonable prices. YOu could try ramen at Tanpopo, 13 Anzac Ave, City - however the best tasting ramen in Auckland hands down is in the northern suburb of Browns Bay, at 4 Anzac Road, Browns Bay. Their noodles are succulent with just the right amount of firmness, their sliced pork and soup bases bursting with flavour and quite how they can elicit such a heavenly flavour from a humble egg boiled in soy sauce i will never know! Also try their negu charshu spics pork salad if you are game to make the bus trip (there is a nice swimming beach beach there and an excellent French cafe with delicious Paris brests and religieuses - La Tropezienne at 92 Clyde Court, Browns Bay so it may be a nice afternoon excursion in the summer).
For 'NZ / european' style food in my opinion there are only a handful worth spending your money on in Auckland - they are listed in the top 10 Auckland restaurants on trip advisor - the French Cafe, The Grove, Dine, etc and are probably your best shots for this kind of cuisine. Not cheap but made more affordable if you are bringing $US. Happy eating!!
Oh one more thing lastly try Yumcha for brunch one day - excellent dim sums are available in Auckland - Grand Harbour is recommended but I find their service too slow and there are queues for tables - good alternatives are Dynasty, 57-59 Wakefield St where you'll just about always get a table or China, 2 Beach Rd under the Scene Apartment complex.
re: ssamjang
Correction: The name of the first korean restaurant in my list above is Bongane, not Nolbune.
By the way, in the Korean restaurant if you are having BBQ, make sure to request a saucer of sesame oil with salt in it. Dip your BBQ meat in here first then in the saucer of brown bean paste, before wrapping it in a parcel with the lettuce and sesame leaf. if they don't provide these, demand them!
For Yakitori - Ken Yakitori at 89 Karangahape Rd or alternatively at 55 Anzac Ave, City; Tanuki's Cave at 319 Queen St (downstairs). For Teppanyaki - Daikoku at 148 Quay St, city :-)
re: ssamjang
Hey ssamjang and brigide, thanks for the delicious-sounding tips. Be sure to post about other great Auckland discoveries you might come across!
re: bradluen
Cheers Bradluen - yes, hopefully we can get some good momentum going on the Auckland board!
re: ssamjang
Yes - thanks everyone -Ive been off the boards for a bit so when I took a peek this morning it was fab to see all these posts about auckland food!
Brigade- great to see you picking up on the Belgian Beer pubs - its ironic but whenever overseas guests are coming to NZ one of the first places I think to take them for real Kiwi food is one of these Belgian Beer pubs! They may be billed as "belgian" but they serve up probably the best value, iconic NZ shellfish dish - the green lipped mussel pots. Short of going to a local Kiwi's house for dinner, you are not going to find such great value Kiwi seafood anywhere else. OK so the beer is Belgian not Kiwi but with a few exceptions aside - Belgian beer is head and shoulders over the Kiwi stuff anyway - I cant think of a better combo than a pint of Leffe and a big pot of mussels - yum!
Brad - thanks as always for your tips - and dont worry, things dont change that fast around here so i think everything you mention as far as I know is still bang on! - sorry I wasnt able to hook up on your last trip but hopefully will happen when you are next back - must check your blog to see what you have been eating elsewhere so i can get very jealous!!
And Ssamjang - so great to see all your posts on the Auckland CBD thread - your expertise on Korean menus in Auckland is second to none - thanks for sharing your tips!!! Completely agree with you about Bongane being fantastic (thanks to your recommendation!) - have been there are few times but cant wait to try some of the items you have listed on your post - am getting a craving for Naengmyeon as I write...!
Personal picks going into the New Year - most of my all time Auckland faves have been covered already (Tom Yum Eden being probably my all time top auckland food addiction - their current special "Pla Sam Rose" - deep fried snapper in a tamarind/kaffir lime leaf sauce is spectacular as is the Prawn with Vermicelli - served in a iron pot with wood fungus - really really REALLY good!).
A couple of new observations:
- Kaya and Toast - a very unassuming Malaysian place right at the entrance to the (hideously ugly!) Sky City Cinema complex on Queen Street (right beside Borders). You will see (nay SMELL!) Burger King on your left - go through the automatic doors and immediately to your left you will see a small staircase heading to a tiny cafe- Kaya and Toast. As the name suggests, this is a cafe serving classic Malaysian drinks (Kopi-O, Teh Tarik etc - think they even do that iconic "tea and coffee mixed together" drink - think that its called "Chum" :) anyway cant comment on quality of drinks, but the food I have had is great - all the usual Malaysian tea shop classics - I had the "yardstick" dish (my personal measure of how good a malaysian place is!) Nasi Lemak - big ups for the coconut rice and lovely anchovy tasting pickle. Not a huge menu, very casual but definitely delivering the goods. Perfect pre movie chow down and runs rings over anything else I have had in the tres depressing, neon jungle that is the Sky City food court!
The other place I wanted to mention for a quick CBD fix in Auckland - and this will no doubt have me struck off any foodie list but here goes.... St Pierres Sushi! Having been to Japan and experienced the most divine sushi I have ever tasted, Auckland is, to be honest, just not up there in the sushi stakes! OK so it tends to improve as you move from a sushi bar/cafe to a restaurant (and SSamjang - completely agree Tanuki is fab) - its still at best a shadow of the real deal in my experience. I dont know why this is but suspect its something to do with the rice as the fish here is great but I just havent been completely blown away as I was in Japan.
Anyway I have slowly, painfully, come to accept the fact that Auckland sushi doesnt quite cut it compared with Japan (but please foodies, let me know if you know a place that contradicts my opinion and I will try) - and have lowered my expectations on Auckland sushi - especially when it comes to your "quick fix lunchtime" number. On the way down my "expectation lowering" journey I met St Pierres and was somewhat impressed- why? you gasp in horror?!! The first is price - every day they do a "sushi of the day" pack which is only $4.90 for 8 pieces - some days you want to run a mile e.g when the filling is crabstick - but other times you hit the bingo - esp Fridays when the filling is raw salmon. Turnover is high and the sushi tastes way fresher than any other lunch spot Ive been to in the CBD. But if you really want to push the boat out and try St Pierres at its finest, then ask them to make up a pack of something which isnt out -a good pick as I have never seen this one sitting there on the counter therefore always need to ask for it to be made, is the fresh tuna "dynamite" rolls. Whilst they may apologise for you having to wait while they make it, you as a fussy foodie will be smugly standing there, pleased as pie that you are getting to have absolutely freshly made sushi.
So, in summary, its not top notch sushi but the sushi of the day is extraordinarily good value (depending on the day of the week!) and so ubiquitous (there are branches all over town) its probably my fall back for a quick healthy bite to eat.
So strike me down....!!
Happy eating:)
Okay there are lots of choices not already mentioned yet.. you may have a problem with some places being closed over the holiday period though..
These places below are our at the top of our list when we go back to NZ every few months. Most are in Ponsonby Rd or Kingsland Rd area. Ponsonby is about 7 -10 mins from your hotel – Kingsland about 15 mins by car/taxi.
NZ green lipped mussels with frites are a must try at any of the Belgium beer bars.. the closest to your hotel would either be the 'Occidental 'tavern in Durham lane (just off the main St - Queen St) or 'De Post' on the corner of Ponsonby rd and College Hill – both these places are in renovated old historic buildings.. you won't believe the size of the mussels or the qty in the pots! - As well as beer they also serve a pretty good selection of NZ wines by the glass. It is a fun relaxed atmosphere and, although supposedly a Belgian beer bar it is decidedly Kiwi in many ways (and very well executed)
Prego – Ponsonby Rd. This place is an institution – it is based on Italian but it definitely has a distinctive NZ flavour. A must try.. My favourite is the lamb rump .. which comes with potatoes but I get them to put it with the house risotto instead that they usually serve their fish with.. soo good! Also highly recommend the Pizza's here.
Rocco – Ponsonby Rd - is a great place to sample the way that NZ melds Mediterranean recipes with a NZ flair/flavour this one is loosely Spanish – it is one of my personal favourites (yes I have lots!) but alas I am not sure if it will be open over the holidays as the staff usually take a much needed break over that period from memory..
Ponsonby Rd Bistro - This is run by the same owners as Rocco.. it started out as 'Magnum' - a lavish concept which got bumped for a more recession friendly version.. think summery relaxed comfort food with a stylish twist and fairly well priced – lots of nice NZ wine by the glass here too..
Bambina – Ponsonby Rd – this is a great Kiwi style café – one of the best in NZ (IMO) Fantastic cooked breakfasts and delicious brunch/ lunch menu – a must try.
Dizengoff - Another Ponsonby Rd institution - Jewish deli style food done well – breakfast /lunch only - expect it to be packed…
As someone else mentioned - Grand Harbour in the Viaduct is a must try for Yum Cha – I have eaten yum cha all over the world and this rates top in my book – especially if you stick mainly with the steamed seafood dumplings – they offer at least 10 varieties of seafood based ones alone.. recommend the scallop dumpling, spinach and prawn, snow pea shoot, and the seafood combination dumpling with little water chestnuts in the mix – divine!
For breakfast/ brunch/ lunch Richmond Rd Café is also a must try for modern Kiwi food – (another one of my absolute favourites) it will be packed but it is well worth squeezing in or waiting for a table..
For more Ethnic type food I suggest you head for Kingsland – New North Rd…. there you will find the closest thing to authentic Northern Thai/Lao food in Auckland - it is a place called Mekong Nua – one of my absolute favourite spots.. The chefs are all from Laos so you can expect Authenticity. The place is owned by a Kiwi chap (Robin who is married to Laotian woman) Been going here since it first opened 12 years ago! This place is licensed but we usually BYO wine.
Also in New North Rd in Kingsland is our favourite Indian in Auckland 'Little India' the décor is pretty simple but I venture to say that you will not have seen a cleaner kitchen! – the chefs are all especially brought in from India and, although it is a chain – I have not tasted better Indian food in Auckland (and I have pretty much tried them all! and we are very fussy - it is my husbands favorite cuisine..) especially recommended is the entrée platter – it even includes french cut lamb cutlets Tandori style and for mains try the Bhuna chicken and the lamb pasanda for something a little different.. the manager Bobby is fantastic and they even have their own especially brewed beer (it has that distinctive aromatic note to it like most Indian beers) They also have a limited wine list (but with some reasonable choices - Alan Scott for example is a great drop) or you can BYO
In New North Rd you also have a bunch of other choices like the famous Canton café (Chinese of course) A French restaurant (which I haven't tried) and a bunch of other choices.. all in a strip with a bunch of bars in the mix too.. This area is only about 15 mins by cab so probably worth checking out if any of the above appeals..
I could go on but most of the others I can think of might be a bit far out for you (for example one of the best Malaysian restaurants .. well not really a restaurant – more of a hole in the wall called KK on Manukau Rd that I have caught half the staff at 'Cuisine mag 'eating there on multiple occasions (who can blame them it is totally addictive especially the tofu with peanuts and the house special 'Mummy Chicken'!)
Suggest you google the names of the restaurants that appeal for more accurate address details and I would advise phoning ahead to make sure they are open.. be aware that the places that are open on public holidays will wack you with a surcharge to cover the penalty rates they have to pay their staff (and then some!) Oh another piece of advice – I wouldn't order shellfish or fish on Boxing Day anywhere… (made that mistake last year ordering oysters at Soul bar on the viaduct ..) it definitely won't be particularly fresh….
If you have any trouble finding any of these places or need more info just let me know.
Enjoy, and enjoy the great NZ wine!
re: brigide
Hi Brigide - great post - would definitely agree with most of your suggestions here - have had some good meals at the Mekong Nua and Canton too :)
By the way I got the name of the first Korean restaurant wrong in my earlier post - the name should be BONGANE, not Nolbune.
Nolbune is another restaurant on Wellesley St East which is also very nice but not in the league of Bongane.
I've since discovered another excellent Korean restaurant on the shore - will post soon.
Happy eating!
Dear All:
Thanks ever so much for your suggestions. Of those we tried, we found the green mussel pots at Occidental delicious and filling. One pot with chips feeds two very well. We'd recommend it. Murder Burger is a treat to eat. We found Oh Calcutta in Parnell Road. It is a first-rate Indian restaurant (in our experience). Food is tasty, portions good, prices decent and service first rate. We dined at Kermadec in Viaduct Harbour. While the food was tasty, the portions seemed small compared with other places we ate, and the prices high. Perhaps we were paying for the location and ambiance.
We are now back home in Illinois. Happy New Year to one and all!

Southern Vermont College student recognized for involvementMay 07,2013SVC student wins award
BENNINGTON Southern Vermont College student Hanifah Presley received the Engaged Student Award from the Vermont Campus Compact at the 2013 Engaged Campus Forum last month.
The campus compact is a consortium of Vermonts colleges and universities committed to civic engagement.
Presley, of Brooklyn, N.Y., received the award after a significant investment of time and energy in activities that promote and support engagement at Southern Vermont among her peers.
Since 2011, Presley has been active in MooseCorps, a community service club that provides service opportunities for the entire college community, worked many hours at One World Conservation Center in Bennington and sold Candy Grams to raise funds for the American Heart Association.
In a statement, Corie Steinke, the colleges residence director and civic engagement coordinator, said Presleys greatest strength is her willingness to communicate helpfully with other students.
As a community partner of Southern Vermont College, the Greater Bennington Interfaith Council was recognized as a finalist for the Engaged Community Partner Award, which recognizes the support of the Colleges civic mission.
Members of The Greater Bennington Interfaith Council worked with the colleges provost, Albert DeCiccio, and professors, Thomas Redden and Tracey Forest, and as guest lecturers for the course Comparative Religions.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Controlling costs and ensuring educational opportunity across the state are two of...

The private pilot and passenger were landing following a cross-country flight. As soon as the nosewheel touched down on landing, the airplane pulled to the left. The pilot attempted to correct to the right and the airplane began swerving and exited the right side of the runway and came to a stop in a snow bank. The pilot told investigators the airplane had seven previous instances of the airplane pulling to the left during landing. In each of those cases, the steering departure occurred upon nosewheel touchdown and the pilot was able to regain control. Weather at the time of the accident was clear skies and the winds were variable at five knots. Postaccident examination of the airplane showed the nose gear rake angle was negative (-) .5 to -.7 degrees. Proper rake angle is 0.0 to positive .5 degrees. The manufacturers's analysis of the measured -.5 to -.7 degree rake angle showed that the rake angle maintained a positive margin of safety against dynamic nosewheel shimmy. The investigation could not determine the cause of the steering departure.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this incident to be:

Hi, Arline. If you have any other relatives buried in that cemetery, don't hesitate to post photo requests. I photographed every stone in the cemetery today, and it's going to take me a considerable time to post them all. Requests will go to the front of the line.

My pleasure. I hadn't been to the South Leyden Cemetery before, and it proved to be a lovely spot at the end of a beautiful drive on a glorious morning. I wish I'd been able to find and shoot all the stones that were requested there, but I did get about 3/4 of them.

- How to Read a Study Record
- Sorafenib and bevacizumab are anti-cancer drugs that work by targeting the blood vessels that allow tumors to grow. Using the two drugs together may more effectively block the formation of blood vessels that feed tumors.
- Sorafenib and bevacizumab both are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in other cancers but have not ovarian cancer. In a preliminary trial of this drug combination, however, tumors in 6 of 14 patients with ovarian cancer shrank.
- To determine the safety and effectiveness of the combination of sorafenib and bevacizumab for treating patients with ovarian, fallopian and peritoneal cancer.
- To determine how sorafenib and bevacizumab may affect the cancer by measuring amounts of different proteins in small biopsy samples of tumor taken before starting treatment and at different treatment intervals.
- Females 18 years of age and older with ovarian, fallopian, or peritoneal cancer whose disease has not responded to standard treatment or for which no standard treatment is available.
- Patients must have not been previously treated with bevacizumab or must have had their disease worsen while taking bevacizumab-based therapy.
- Patients take 200 mg of sorafenib by mouth twice a day Monday through Friday each week and 5 mg/kg of bevacizumab through a vein every 2 weeks.
- Tumor biopsies and imaging scans (MRI and PET) are done before treatment, 3 days after beginning treatment, and 6 weeks into therapy.
- CT or other imaging tests are done every 8 weeks to evaluate response to treatment.
- History, physical examinations, blood and urine tests are done periodically during treatment for health checks and research purposes.
- About 74 patients are to be enrolled in the trial.

Drug: Sorafenib
Sorafenib is an inhibitor of wild-type and mutant B-Raf and c-Raf kinase isoforms in vitro, but it also inhibits p38, c-kit, VEGFR-2 and PDGFR-Beta affecting tumor growth as well as possibly promoting apoptosis by events downstream of c-Raf.
Bevacizumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) that binds all biologically active isoforms of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, or VEGF-A) with high affinity (kd = 1.1nM).
Phase I trial of sorafenib and bevacizumab administered concurrently showed activity of the combination in patients with refractory ovarian cancer.
Determine the activity and tolerability of the combination bevacizumab and sorafenib in patients with refractory or recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian, or peritoneal cancer in patients who are bevacizumab-naive or bevacizumab-resistant.
Adults with histologically documented refractory or recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian, or peritoneal cancer.
Patients must be off prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or biological therapy for at least 4 weeks.
Patients must have an ECOG of 1 or less.
Patients must have disease that is amenable to biopsy.
Patients must have not been previously treated with bevacizumab or must have progressed on prior bevacizumab-based therapy.
Patients will be stratified on entrance to the trial based on their previous exposure to bevacizumab to either strata A (bevacizumab-naive patients) or strata B (patients previously treated with bevacizumab).
Patients will receive oral sorafenib 200 mg twice daily 5 out of 7 days each week and intravenous bevacizumab 5 mg/kg every two weeks.
Tumor biopsies will be obtained from patients before treatment and six weeks into therapy. DCE-MRI and FDG-PET will be obtained from patients before treatment, on day 3 of treatment, and six weeks into therapy.
Patients will be evaluated for response every 8 weeks using the RECIST criteria.
Approximately 74 patients will be needed to achieve the objectives of the trial.

Favre Returns, Vikings Lose; But Henderson Is The StoryPosted by on August 23, 2010 – 7:38 am
If you're a big enough Vikings fan to be on this site and reading this blog, you're surely aware that the Vikings lost to the San Francisco 49ers last night by a count of 15-10, dropping their 2010 preseason record to 1-1 and also concluding the road trip portion of the preseason schedule.
So you're also aware that QB Brett Favre made his return, played 1 series, completed a nice pass to Adrian Peterson on the 1st play and then took a smashing hit from LB Patrick Willis on a sack just 2 plays later. That was basically it for Favre…there was a lot of standing around after that for most of the 1st-team players.
But with all of the hype and build-up of Favre's return to the field, it was actually the return to the field AND performance of another Vikings player that stole the show in my eyes. Middle LB E.J. Henderson was back on the field for the 1st time since injuring his leg in Arizona late last season.
Henderson has aggressively rehabbed his injury all offseason and then looked great in training camp, even drawing rave reviews from Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress. But then he didn't play in the Vikings 1st preseason game, which caused me to temper my enthusiasm a bit regarding #56.
After watching him play on Sunday night, my enthusiasm is back. Henderson looked like the old E.J., tallying 7 tackles in just 1 quarter. One of those tackles was for a loss, and the play was the exact type of play Henderson made regularly before injuring his leg; he knifed through the backfield and swept his arm across the legs of 49ers RB Anthony Dixon to trip him up before he got back to the line of scrimmage.
I think Henderson's performance will remain a "below the radar" thing because of the sensationalism of Favre's return. But I also think that's how E.J. wants it.
For now.

I also can only walk and eat as little as carbs as possible to maintain my sugars. It isn't easy but we do what we can.

I am thinking that might be too many carbs for your body.
When I was first dx'd I was told to eat no more than 30 grams of carbs a meal and no more than 2 snacks a day eaten with protein.
I am not a doctor or dietician but something isn't right if you can't get your numbers down, that's why I am thinking too many carbs or the wrong kind of carbs.View Thread
Your doctor most likely put you on insulin to get your numbers down quickly so that you do not reap the ill effects of the disease.
Once your diabetes is controlled and your numbers lowered he/she can put you on the pill.
In my opinion stay with the doctor who diagnosed you and go to the classes and learn all that you can about diabetes.
Unless you have type 1 it is my understanding you can be transitioned from insulin to the pill (usually Metformin) once you are stable - and sometimes with a lifestyle change in foods and exercise you can get off all meds if you are type 2.View Thread
There is a drink called ElectroMix - lemon lime that we use because of our ostomies which rehydrates us when we have the runs. A friend of mine who is a physical therapist recommends this to all her clients.
It balance the electrolyes and has 0 carbs. Amazon sells it pretty reasonable.View Thread
Right now I can tolerate very cooked carrots - I do like the raw ones better but I should never eat raw ones again.
I will check into cooked veggies to see which ones I can eat. DebbieView Thread

…till the Iowa caucuses, with no clear leader for either the Democrats or the Republicans. Does anyone else think it would be better to have every state's primary election, caucus, whatever on the same day? Discuss.
T Minus 3 Days
10 Responses to "T Minus 3 Days"
I hope there is a surprise upset in the Iowa caucus. As much as the media says Americans aren't that interested in the Iraq Occupation I don't believe thats the truth. Republican Congressman Ron Paul and Democratic Congressman Dennis Kuchinich are the anti occupation candidates and they reflect the view of the majority of the American people. If the voters in Iowa vote their conviction and not listen to the media, Paul and Kuchinich will be the winners.
I don't like the fact that the states of Iowa and New Hampshire get to decide who the Presidential nominees should be, but I understand the need for the primary caucus system. I just wish they could be held in states that look more like America.
I despise the fact that two small states have a greater impact on the presidency than the rest of the country put together. I have literally heard comments by pundits in the past few days that if so and so doesn't place in the top three in either IA or NH, they are out. And unfortunately the pundit class creates these self fulfilling prophecies. This is sheer madness.
I agree Bill, it's the talking media pundit heads that are running the show. Remember how the talking media pundit heads destroyed Howard Dean? I hope the American people aren't letting the talking media pundit heads influence their vote.
Here is an article from truthout.org about the Iowa primary.
I don't think a national primary is a good idea. Having all 50 states vote on the same day would give a huge advantage to the candidate who can raise the most early money. That would make candidates more beholden to big donors, not less.
I'd like to see a rotating system, maybe by region, with a handful of early states but not the same states each time. It would make it harder for the campaign professionals, because they couldn't figure out what sells in 2 or 3 states and just repeat it every 4 years, but it might give more clout to actual voters.
Two political parties (and roughly 1/3 of voters nationwide call themselves independents) in a state that has only 7 votes out of 538 in the Electoral College hold what appear to be no more than statewide straw polls and media goes bonkers. I don't get it.
I second that emotion, mooncat. Say, 3 states each time…? But how do we include Alaska and Hawaii? Let's have a fact-finding tour!
Our "liberal media" makes the New Hampshire and Iowa primaries more important than they actually are because they are the "first". I like the rotating primary idea, that way we could have primaries that look like America and get the opinions of a cross section of the American people. The only thing I will learn from the Iowa primary tonight is which Republican candidate managed to terrorize the most people into voting for them.

DEFINITION of 'Refunding'
The process of retiring or redeeming an outstanding bond issue at maturity by using the proceeds from a new debt issue. The new issue is almost always issued at a lower rate of interest than the refunded issue, ensuring significant reduction in interest expense for the issuer.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Refunding'
In order to retain the attraction of its debt issues to bond buyers, the issuer will generally ensure that the new issue has at least the same - if not a higher - degree of credit protection as the refunded bonds. Refunding is likely to be more common in a low interest-rate environment, as issuers with significant debt loads have an incentive to replace their maturing higher-cost bonds with cheaper debt.
For example, an issuer that refunds a $100 million bond issue with a 10% coupon at maturity, and replaces it with a new $100 million issue with a 6% coupon, will have savings of $4 million in interest expense per annum.

The Islam in China blog has been almost inactive for the last 6 months or so. I have only posted a couple of times in that period. It is mainly because of my father's passing away that I have not really been engaged with the world. It is however how time to reengage with the world and expand the Islam in China project. Also expect to see updates on our sister website. (http://www.islaminchna.info) Your feedback and suggestions on how to improve this website and the Islam in China project would be greatly appreciated.

U of L's African-American Theatre Program goes to the tropics for its performances of Once on This Island, which opens today.
Once on This Island will take place on Jan. 30, 31, Feb. 1, and 2 at 8 p.m. each day. Matinees, meanwhile, will take place on Feb. 2 and 3 at 3 p.m. each day. All performances are to happen at The Playhouse, located at 1911 South Third Street [3] on the U of L campus. (Look for the white church-like building.)
Tickets for each show are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and $10 for senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at the U of L box office [4], located in the Studio Arts building on campus. The box office phone number is 502-852-6814. Keep in mind there is no intermission during this show.
Once on This Island [5] features a young peasant island girl, Ti Moune, who falls for Daniel, a boy of much higher class stature. On this island, gods watch over the island as peasants and those of higher class live opposite of each other. Ti Moune and Daniel's story intertwines elements of Romeo and Juliet, The Little Mermaid, and other fairy tales as they explore the gift and power of love.
The musical features Jodi Ann Henry as Ti Moune and Robbie McCracken as Daniel. Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty created the production, which Nefertit Burton directed for the African-American Theatre Program [6].
Following Once on This Island, U of L theatre arts will present The White Rose. That production will open on Feb. 27.

University of Michigan grad student says she lost her job over union effort
Updated On: Jan 20 2012 03:03:12 PM EST
A University of Michigan graduate student claims she lost her job after supporting efforts to unionize graduate student research assistants.
Jennifer Dibbern came to UM from M.I.T in 2007. She said her path to a doctorate was smooth sailing, teaching and working as a researcher in engineering. But at the end of last year, she said, she started supporting unionizing the graduate student research assistants.
"I was very active in talking with my fellow RA's and I was very openly supportive of it," Dibbern said.
The Michigan Employment Relations Commission in August affirmed a 1981 decision that bars research assistants from banding together. There's an ongoing dispute about whether that should be overturned.
Dibbern said when she and others successfully pushed for a union vote with the university, her supervisor, Rachel Goldman, gave her a warning.
"At that time, she expressed to me that unless I stopped all outside activities that she was going to fire me from my position. Two weeks after that date, she made good on that threat," Dibbern said.
A spokesman for the university, Rick Fitzgerald, said Dibbern's firing is an academic problem and wouldn't comment specifically on her case. However, Fitzgerald said the university's dozen unions is proof that it doesn't support union busting.
"We don't tolerate any acts of intimidation or retaliation for union organizing," he said.
Dibbern said she hasn't filed any legal action yet.
"My story is a clear reason why we need a union for research grad assistants and I believe that I was fired from my position because I was opening supportive of that union and having my voice in my work," she said.
