Safety: The Duty of New Jersey Residential and Commercial Landlords
New Jersey law requires residential and business landlords to maintain safe rental premises.
While New Jersey is a small state in square miles, it has a relatively robust population of around 8.5 million people. The latest U.S. Census data showed that about 65 percent of New Jersey Residents are homeowners, meaning a couple of million people probably rent their homes or apartments.
From the population centers of Bergen County and Newark to the bustling port of Jersey City across from Manhattan, and from small towns in agricultural areas and on the coast to struggling areas of urban blight, thousands of residential landlords provide a wide variety of housing to New Jersey residents. Being a residential landlord in New Jersey carries with it many legal responsibilities.
Opportunities for commercial landlords also abound in New Jersey because of the need for assorted building types in which to conduct the business of major New Jersey industries like tourism and gambling, manufacturing, retail, agriculture, shipping, research, chemical and oil production and apparel assembly. While the prospects for profitable leasing of business property are many, commercial landlords also owe specific legal duties to their tenants and the public.
Typical Unsafe Conditions
The concept of premises liability encompasses the broad idea that a landowner is responsible for providing safe conditions for those living on or visiting his or her property. For example, in snowy or icy conditions, sidewalks and parking lots should be shoveled or plowed, and ice should be treated with sand or chemicals to prevent vehicular accidents and potentially dangerous falls. In addition, surfaces on which people walk should be evenly maintained to prevent tripping and falling.
Reasonable outside maintenance of buildings would include providing durable roofs, gutters and drainage systems to keep structures free of moisture and mold.
Inside leased buildings, utility systems such as heating, cooling, septic, electricity, gas and water should be in safe working order. Unsafe utilities can cause conditions or hazards such as freezing or stifling temperatures, electric shock, fire, release of carbon monoxide, sewer or natural gas and unsanitary conditions.
Buildings should be structurally intact and physical surfaces like floors and stairs should be well maintained, free of uneven surfaces to prevent unsafe falls. Premises should be environmentally safe with healthy air and no potential exposure to hazardous materials like asbestos or lead.
Residential Landlord Responsibilities
Forty years ago in Marini v. Ireland the Supreme Court of New Jersey adopted the "implied covenant of habitability and livability fitness for residential dwellings" standard. In every residential lease, the law implies that the landlord will rent the property without latent defects in necessary mechanical systems and will provide a sound physical condition. In essence, the landlord warrants that the residential rental property will be maintained in livable condition.
Habitability also encompasses the element of security in person and property, and protection from foreseeable criminal activity. Importantly, the warranty applies not only to individual living spaces, but also to areas used in common with other tenants like entryways, stairwells and elevators. Common areas must be reasonably safe for the use of both tenants and their guests.
In addition to the implied warranty of habitability, New Jersey statutes, regulations and local ordinances establish detailed residential rental property standards to protect against unsafe structures and fires, and to protect the health and safety of tenants and their guests. Landlords can be steeply fined for breaking these laws and failure to comply with the landlords' standard of conduct effectively established by housing laws may be evidence of legally negligent conduct.
Commercial Landlord Responsibilities
A commercial landlord who leases property for business, rather than residential, purposes must also exercise reasonable care to maintain safe conditions on the rental premises. The commercial landlord must make reasonable inspections of the property looking for dangerous conditions. If someone is injured because a commercial landlord failed to either repair or warn of a hazardous defect that the landlord knew about or should have reasonably discovered, the landlord will likely be responsible for the accident.
In addition, if a commercial landlord retains control over or use of any part of the premises, such as a connected storage area, it must be maintained in a reasonably safe manner to protect the adjoining tenant and its business patrons.
Even where a dangerous condition on adjoining or nearby property may threaten the safety of the leased premises, the commercial lessor must take affirmative action to contact other property owners or government officials to resolve the problem. An example of this type of liability could be if a patron trips on a defective public sidewalk leading from the leased business building to its adjoining parking lot, where the landlord knew or should have known of the danger with reasonable inspection, and made no effort to either alert the city or post a warning sign. However, liability in a given situation will depend on all the unique circumstances of that case.
Most importantly, commercial landlord liability may depend at least in part upon the conditions agreed to in the lease. For example, the landlord has the duty to lease a safely designed and constructed building from which the renter can conduct business. However, if, for example, the parties agree in the lease that responsibility for ongoing maintenance of the inside of the building will be borne by the renter, the landlord should not be responsible for injuries from negligent upkeep of the building interior by the renting business.
Commercial landlords may also be subject to laws regulating the health and safety conditions of employees. For example, if a landlord rents space to a business that employs people on the premises, local law may require that the landlord maintain a certain temperature in the building during work hours.
Seek Legal Advice
New Jersey landlords should establish relationships with knowledgeable attorneys for direction and guidance on how to comply with property owners' legal responsibilities toward tenants and the public.
If you or a loved one is injured on rental premises, whether residential or commercial, be sure to consult a skilled personal injury lawyer with experience in premises liability cases as early as possible to determine whether the landlord was negligent, and to find out how to preserve and pursue your legal rights.
In addition, if you are having trouble getting your landlord to respond to your complaints about unsafe or unlivable conditions on rental property, you should get reliable legal advice about if and when you may have the right to withhold rent, or make repairs yourself and deduct the cost from rent payments.

Taste Test: Chicken Shawarma
Clockwise from top left: Shawarmas from Modern Juice Centre, Maroosh, Tezz and Piccadilly.
There may soon come a time when the shawarma will rate second only to the vada pao in popularity on Mumbai's streets. The Middle East's celebrated street snack is widely available in the city, with shawarma vendors setting up kiosks wherever space permits, sometimes (as on Carter Road) with as many as four within a couple of blocks. We sought out the shawarma that came closest to duplicating the original flavours. The results:
Donald House, Colaba Causeway, opposite Electric House. Tel: 2282 3217
Price: Rs70
Ingredients: Chicken, cabbage, tomatoes, aioli, lime.
Verdict: Piccadilly offers seven variations of shawarma, each with a modified name and moderately tweaked ingredients. Their chicken Spaniol (we missed the Spanish inspiration if any) is an inauthentic shawarma with chunks of roast chicken rather than finely sliced meat. This is a no-fuss wrap with shredded cabbage and a watered down aioli (a garlic mayo sauce) sprinkled generously with lime. ★★☆☆☆
Tana Kutir Building, Shop No.3, between 18th Road and 17th Road, Khar Danda, near Neelam store. Tel: 6529 0303
Price: Rs70
Ingredients: Chicken, aioli, French fries, pickled beets, chilli sauce, lime.
Verdict: This hole-in-the-wall restaurant has probably survived on the strength of its shawarma, in which the cook has invested great thought and a liberal amount of olive oil. The chicken is perfectly cooked, seasoned with pepper, drenched with lime, wrapped in soft pita and served with creamy garlic sauce. You would do well to skip the stale fries however, and maybe, take one for the road. ★★★★☆
PVR Food Court, Phoenix Mills, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel. Tel: 97691 09971. Also at Inorbit Mall Food Court, second floor, Malad (West). Tel: 97691 09976
Price: Rs89
Ingredients: Chicken, garlic sauce, chilli sauce, cabbage, salad leaves, French fries.
Verdict: This kiosk offers a chicken shawarma with a distinctly piquant taste. The tangy chilly and garlic sauce further distinguishes the wrap that's garnished with coriander. On the down side, the tartness lingers in your mouth for a while. ★★★☆☆
Near Radio Club, Arthur Bunder Road, opposite Gulf Hotel, Colaba. Tel: 2281 2457
Price: Rs60
Ingredients: Chicken, French fries, pickled beet, cabbage and mayonnaise.
Verdict: This juice centre has won fans for its shawarma but the wrap left us underwhelmed. The chicken is fairly standard, but the pita not quite. The meat is wrapped in a thick, greasy paratha that is slathered with bland, bottled mayo. ★★☆☆☆
Near Cafe Coffee Day, Opposite Ajanta Ellora building, 388 Carter Road, Khar (West). Tel: 2600 5584. Also at Phoenix Mills Compound, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel. Tel: 93213 31112
Price: Rs110
Ingredients: Chicken, hummus, pickled beets and chilly, French fries and aioli.
Verdict: There's seldom a quiet moment at Maroosh, owing to the appeal of its succulent shawarma, which stands out as much for the hummus (made in house) as for the chicken. The pita is slathered with fluffy aioli (which, as it should be, is more parts garlic than mayonnaise) that complements the roast chicken perfectly. Before they lay on the hummus, Maroosh spikes this wrap with hot sauce and a pickled chilli that add an extra sharpness to the delectable wrap. ★★★★☆

At "Tafathalo", R-Mall, Mulund, we invite all shawarma lovers to explore our SHAWARMA varieties which is being highly appreciated by our frequent users.
the most amazing shawarma in mumbai has to be Zaheerbhai's shawarma in mahim!! perfect khaboos,garlic mayo,tangy chilly and garlic paste.
also a must try is the shawarma at New Excelcior Cafe near VT.
@Pooja: Is the one outside Pritam still awesome? I'd make trips to Dadar just for their shawarma. Then they started adding chicken fat and skin to it. I'm gathering that's no longer the case?
the best and the chepest shawarma is at zahirbhai shawarmawala at mahim only rs 50/-
great post!
Surprisingly my favourite shawarma is outside pritam da dhaba in dadar…you must try it!
Two excellent ones you've missed out on, or should definitely be on your updated lists- Carter's Blue at the corner of Carter Road right opp. Cafe coffee day- mindblowingly balanced; and the second one at Hill road's Biona- not too many bakeries would offer Shawarmas but these are bloody brilliant!
Am a regular eater at most of the joints you have mentioned above and i have to say that your analysis is spot on…. cheers
Love these comparisons you guys do. I agree.. Maroosh is the best street side shawarma.
The Piccadilly shawarma often has pieces of gristle and other unpalatable looking bits. To be avoided.
Lebanese point at lokhandwala is my fave.
Will try Maroosh sometime.
Absolutely…. True Maroosh has the Best Chicken Shawarma, must try the Lamb Shawarma at Bandra Maroosh.
Wow this is so informative. Thank you Purva for enlightening us with this article will follow your work closely from now on. Cheersss!!!
There's another fantastic shawarma guy, who I don't even know the name of. Opposite Fendi (that export surplus place in Bandra), there is a clothing store, more a shed. You have to actually enter that and you will see this shawarma guy. Absolutely yummy stuff and he doesn't crimp on the amount of meat he stuffs inside. And it's some 50 bucks wonly! (Or used to be. Haven't been there in a couple of months.)
Brilliant stuff! There are sooo many available; have always wanted a comparison. Sadly, my Colaba convenience rates pretty damn low…

"Opportunity" has taken its maiden martian voyage. NASA scientists say the rover rolled about ten feet overnight. A mission spokesman says the robot is about halfway to a group of rocks that scientists want to study.
It's the craft's first real drive since descending off the lander over the weekend. Scientists have been intrigued by rounded pebbles the rover is rolling over.
The mission's main scientist says his team doesn't "quite know what these things are yet." Scientists say the pebbles may have been formed by sea erosion.
That's just one of several competing theories.
On the other side of the planet, "Spirit" should be getting back to work. Scientists have flushed its memory and are rebooting the rover's computers to try to solve software problems.

Welcome to Amusement-Park-Deals.com. Offering the greatest deals since 2008 on all discount tickets for any theme park you want to visit. Below we will list some basic info, gate prices, some history, and a review from someone who has used our online codes to save money. Don't take my word for it, click on the links to claim your discounts today.
2012 Admission Prices
Single day adult pass
Single day children pass
Starlight admission
Adult season pass
Child season pass
2 for 1 group passes also available
This theme park is located in Shakopee, Minnesota; and sits on about 125 acres of land. As of right now Valleyfair is the largest amusement park in the Upper Midwest, and can afford to have much cheaper prices. Owners are the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, and funny enough the Fair in the Cedar Fair name comes from Valleyfair. Discount passes are handed out every opening season to staff and their families as gratitude. Currently the park houses 46 rides and water attractions. 8 of which are roller coasters, the most popular being the Wild Thing.
Gates first opened to the public in 1976 and had a Coney Island theme; however it clashed with some of the rides that were being installed like the Steel roller coasters, Wild Thing, and the Corkscrew. All of which were a modern day type of ride and looked silly with the Coney Island theme. Owners soon changed the name, and with it whole new discount tickets handed out. The park is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day and a couple weekends in May and Sept. The only other day you can claim a coupon would be the ValleySCARE, the Halloween event.
My discount passes were extremely easy to order from this website; as a matter of fact I don't have a single complaint. I went with my friends and ordered some for them too, with all the money I saved them; I got dinner on the house. The park is pretty inexpensive anyway. The rides are fun, the water clean, and the staff friendly for the most part. Thank you!

Reader Reviews
I order 3 Naga curries every week, and have been going to the Chilli Balti from the first week it opened. Portions very good, flavour very good, service very good. Would highly recommend. Nick
I recommend chilli balti for the standard of cooking and extensive and varied menu, both of which are superb , also the friendliness and courtesy of the staff who always welcome us with a warm handshake and a smile , I have been using this establishment for 3 years and not once have we had a bad meal everything is cooked to perfection . we do not have to wait too long either in the shop or for a home delivery which is always delivered piping hot , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!!! Myra Hall
We get a takeaway from Chilli Balti almost every week and are never disappointed. The value for money is outstanding. The quality of the food is amazing. The service is always friendly. What I like most is that they offer "small portions" of their curry dishes, which suits me as I usually end up leaving half from other takeaways. Can strongly rec the Veg Rogan Josh, and the Chicken Shashlik! Karenlupton
Great food, friendly staff, good value for money. The Vegetarian set meal (for one) is easily enough food for two people, comprising of 4 different vegetable dishes, plus a nan bread and rice, and is great value at £9.95. Howard/fleetwoodSee all Chilli Balti Reviews.

In his following season with the IceDogs, Caputi found his scoring touch with 51 goals and 111 points in just 66 games. His 111 points were fourth in league scoring and his 51 goals were third in the OHL. Caputi led the team into the playoffs where they defeated the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors 4 games to 0 before losing to the Oshawa Generals 4 games to 2 in the conference semifinals.
Following his breakout season, on April 23, Caputi signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins and was part of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins team that reached the Calder Cup final.
On February 3, 2009, Caputi made his NHL debut against the Montreal Canadiens, scoring his first NHL goal on his first shift after being on the ice for just 2:03 of ice time.
On March 2, 2010, one day prior to the NHL trade deadline, Caputi was traded to his hometown team, the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Alex Ponikarovsky.

Album Review
The Bright Mississippi
stands alone among
Allen Toussaint
albums. Technically, it is not his first jazz album, for in 2005 he released
Going Places
on the small CD Baby-distributed Captivating Recording Technologies, a label run by his son
, but for most intents and purposes -- and for most listeners --
The Bright Mississippi
might as well be his first foray into jazz, since it's the first to get a major-label production and release as it's a de facto sequel to
's successful, high-profile, 2006 duet album with
Elvis Costello
The River in Reverse
. Like that record,
The Bright Mississippi
is produced by
Joe Henry
, who has a knack for a sound that's clean yet soulful, one that lets the music breathe but still has heft to it.
with a cast of heavy hitters -- including clarinetist
Don Byron
, trumpeter
Nicholas Payton
, guitarist
Marc Ribot
and, on a track a piece, pianist
Brad Mehldau
and saxophonist
Joshua Redman
-- to support the pianist on a run through jazz standards ranging from
Duke Ellington
Django Reinhardt
Louis Armstrong
Thelonious Monk
, whose 1963 classic provides the album its title. Everybody has a little bit where they shine, but this is thoroughly
's showcase, a place where he can ease back and string together New Orleans jazz and R&B in his own elegant fashion. And what impresses most about
Bright Mississippi
is that although straight-out jazz is uncommon in
's work, this neither feels unfamiliar or like a stretch. His signature runs and smooth grooves can be heard throughout the album, but the relaxed nature of the sessions makes it easier than ever to hear what an idiosyncratic, inventive instrumentalist he is, and that is a quality that's more evident upon repeated plays. Upon the first listen,
The Bright Mississippi
merely seems like a joyous good time, but subsequent spins focus attention on just how rich and multi-layered this wonderful music is.

Because of the number of available houses for sale and the shortage of qualified buyers looking to purchase, our home was valued at much less this year than it was ten years ago. I was heartbroken when I saw the depreciation rate of our home over the last five years.
Even though the drop in the value of our home is depressing, we will contain to maintain the house and make needed repairs and updates. Hopefully, the value will increase once the housing market returns to somewhere near what could be called normal.

This is an excellent well made curtain. It has body and class! I ordered it because the color is perfect with my decor- I wanted a hint of pink and green! It is very pretty with the scalloped edges- feminine! I love it!
Love the neutral tone of the background and the delicate flowers are so pretty. Gives my bathroom a "Touch of Class".
I finally found a shower curtain with matching window curtains in a variety of styles to choose from! I love the entire set. Every person that has been to my home has raved about them, while making the remark that I must have spent a fortune. I washed all the pieces, dried on low heat, touched up with light ironing, then hung them up. The bathroom looks totally different now. Oh, and they washed wonderfully also! I highly recommend this set.
Beautiful, well-made and simply patterned. The shower curtain is made from the same material as the window curtains, so you will need a show liner.
Very high quality material and workmanship.

Which came first: the chicken or the child? Usually, it's the chicken ... with a child trundling afterward, giggling with delight. This hens-on workshop shows kids (and adults) how to responsibly, and safely, handle a chicken. Learn tips, tricks and traps about how to keep interacting with chickens ... a fun experience that can last a lifetime. Kids learn about the value of family flocks in green communities. We will cover how chickens offer more than just eggs; they also have skills, acting as pesticiders, kitchen waste recyclers and compost creators. Understand why chickens are truly pets with benefits. There will be ample time for a question-and-answer session.

Death and Sex in Comics Archives - Comics Should Be Good! @ Comic Book Resources
Death and sex in comics – John Byrne's Next Men
Yes, it's time for another weird stroll through a catalogue of death and sex in comics! IDW recently released the second big volume of Next Men by John Byrne (originally released by Dark Horse in the early 1990s), and it's time to check out who dies and who gets lucky! Yes, there's quite a bit of both in Next Men (and I should point out that there's a scan of someone's naked butt below the jump, if you care).

Death and sex in comics – Dark Horse's Conan series
I was re-reading the trades of Conan recently (as the final trade of the first series, "The Hand of Nergal," recently showed up), and I thought to myself, "Boy, Conan kills a lot of people in this series. I wonder how many he kills?" I really should stop myself when I start thinking.
I thought, "You know, a lot of people die in comics. I wonder how many?" With that in mind, I thought of a project to track deaths in comics. And, because Conan gets laid quite a bit, why not track sex too? This goes back to Americans' squeamishness about sex but acceptance of bloody violence I've occasionally ranted about here. I'm sure the death in comics far overwhelms the sex, but why not check it out?
With that in mind, I decided to write posts about those two things. This will be an interminable project, I'm sure, because I have a lot of comics. It's going to be completely random, based on whatever comics I choose to read. This time it's Conan. The next time it might be, I don't know, Tiny Titans. Okay, probably not, as I don't buy that book, but you never know!
Please note that I'm not making any value judgments on this at all. I'm simply cataloguing the number of deaths and the number of times anyone gets laid. Some definitions are in order:

Town Hall damage assessed
Offices, records intact, building remains closed
WASHINGTON, Conn. — Workers returned to Bryan Memorial Town Hall Monday, though its offices remained closed to the public following a propane gas explosion early Sunday morning.
An insurance company adjuster and a structural engineer inspected the damaged building to determine what repairs will be needed and how much they will cost, though First Selectmen Mark Lyon did not expect an immediate answer.

Best Coast's leadoff single to their new record is the title track "The Only Place," a lovelorn ode to her home state. "Why would you live anywhere else?" Bethany Cosentino asks, and then she lists some reasons why you wouldn't want to live anywhere else (spoiler: the beach!). She's definitely sticking to that rendering-of-California-plus-animal cover motif, you'll notice. Download it below.
The single is out today on iTunes.The Only Place is out 5/15 on Mexican Summer.

This is her worst single to date. It sounds like one of the filler tracks from an old rilo Kiley album. This album is going to be terrible I think.
gone with the lo-fi, its not a bad transition
This is pretty disappointing considering how much this was hyped up as a "grown up" record. Sounds like filler material for the next teen summer rom-com trailer.
This song is rad. Catchy as hell.
Though I will say there are plenty of other awesome places to live besides California.
I was born in California. Perhaps I should go back?
I like the way they through the riff from 'Boyfriend' in during the chorus, in case you feel like listening to that song at the same time.
This will sound great in context with the rest of the album.
This sounds like Rebecca Black after her first joint.
"We have fun we have fun we have fun when we please"
The only place fails as an album title and a song, kind of a letdown after Crazy For You was a good album title and song.
Really surprised by how much I like this. Totally destroys every track on her shitty debut.
i could live in San Francisco, but never LA. What's so great about it? It's home to TMZ, Tom Cruise, and American Idol. Talk about shit hole.
How much does the CA tourism board pay for song licensing again?
Oh, and that bear should be playing California like a guitar, and wearing a wig, and making up really juvenile rhymes.

I'm pleased to be able to give a shoutout to my fellow RPG blogger Jeff Mejia (The Evil DM to many of you), who has just released the World of Broadsword, a sword-and-sorcery world to dive right into. If you've picked up Broadsword for the 1PG system, there's new stuff for that system, including bestiary, adventure, and some additional advantages. But there's plenty in here for folks looking for a kickoff point for some S&S gaming, too, including bitchin' use of HexMapper in making the overworld map.
Plus, for $3.95 (same as Broadsword itself), I finally found something that fit in my current gaming budget. Nice art, nice layout (sadly, no table of contents). Really, Jeff, all I ask is completely unrelated to the product, and that's that Wednesdays sees a desperately-needed influx of redheads.

Multicast is communication between a single sender and multiple receivers on a network.
Network Design
Multicast is communication between a single sender and multiple receivers on a network. Typical uses include the updating of mobile personnel from a home office and the periodic issuance of online newsletters. Together with anycast and unicast, multicast is one of the packet types in the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).
Multicast is supported through wireless data networks as part of the Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) technology.
Multicast is also used for programming on the MBone, a system that allows users at high-bandwidth points on the Internet to receive live video and sound programming. In addition to using a specific high-bandwidth subset of the Internet, Mbone multicast also uses a protocol that allows signals to be encapsulated as TCP/IP packet when passing through parts of the Internet that can not handle the multicast protocol directly.

Fill Tilt Poker Scam - Avoid this SITE!
Posted by
poker player
Full tilt is a horror of a website. They have an extremely unfair deck that is designed to simply steal your money. I have been an iron man for years and I can safely say I'd never deposit a dime there after what I've seen. They are not a legitimate site, they are a SCAM. It is this kind of thing that will bring down internet poker. Pokerstars is not much better, but full tilt is especially bad.
They have also bounced several checks on payouts, check their forums. They have figured out if they bounce your check on your payout, and then comp your fee and give you an extra 25 bucks, you will be stupid enough to play it away. Don't take my word, check their own forum. They make check payouts very difficult.
About the 5 of the last times I had AA against KK on full tilt, the guy with the kings took down my aces. And that's not even close to the ridiculous runner runner beats I've seen over and over. I lost over 10 allins in a row yesterday when I was at least an 80% favorite preflop. What are the odds of this? I went from a lifetime 10% ROI player to -4 in a week, and I'm playing the best poker in my life, lol. I know what the guy has, I make the right call, and full tilt robs me because I haven't made a deposit for a month or two. I've made several deposits there, and soon as you deposit the deck becomes fair until you have a roll, then it will take EVERY PENNY YOU HAVE unless you cashout, before the slide starts. It has come to the point where I expect to loose with the best hand. No I'm not a sore looser, I'm warning people against a deck that is not random at all. You ask the question, why would they do that?
Simple, they make more money if they steal your money as opposed to pay it out. The game will allow you to have some success, but then it will systematically RAPE you until you are stupid enough to deposit. Anyone who has played there knows about the full tilt slide, you cannot get off until your in the water drowning. Plus, isn't it funny how whenever you get to a final table every hand a filled with big cards and action? If the deal was random this WOULD NOT HAPPEN.
I haven't even come close to telling you all I know about this evil website. Last year I looked up every winner of their FTSOP events and none of them had any history to speak of except for winning hundreds of thousands of dollars. Funny? Look up any player in a 45 man tourney on poker rankings, and they have a long history, even the winners. But when the stakes are big, they have around 10 game history, HMMMMM. Are you fricking serious, how stupid do you think we are? Lol. Listen, full tilt will bring down internet poker, hopefully someone will make them pay for the pain they've cause hard working people who think they are getting a fair game.
Listen up, if you want a fair online casino go to an unbiased third party monitor like ecogra and they will have a list of casinos they monitor. I used to play at another site where I made $$$$$$$, but they stopped taking US players so I ended up at Full Tilt Poker, BIG MISTAKE. I'm still searching for a fair site that takes American Players, until then I'm off internet poker.
Check out what the guy who programmed their software says here- http://rounding. wordpress.com/2008/06/03/full-tilt-leans-towards-big-hands/#comment-1226
If you must play internet poker, play SOMEWHERE ELSE THAN FULL TILT, they will take every penny you deposit with ridiculous beats. You cannot succeed there, the deck will not let you even when you are the favorite.

Full Tilt Poker is a High Caliber Scam Site - Unsactioned by the USA Government
Posted by
Full Tilt Poker is a complete scam site. Winners are predetermined and 99% chance they didn't choose you. I know a lot of people think they are really good poker players, don't we all, and feel like the 'donks' are getting rewarded for poor plays. BUT truth is, you probably have never won on Full Jilt, and neither have they. I have won a tournament on Full Tilt (about $500+) and I was excited to cash in my winnings. Good luck with that. YOU WILL NEVER CASH OUT OF FULL TILT! Get it?? Never. Multiple reasons and ways to 'cash' block you.
There is a reason these websites are illegal in the USA and are run from country's outside of political affiliations or ties. It's because they can't prove a payout. Look it up. They only collect your money, and then keep it. You may be an awesome poker player, but you will never, ever, ever beat a software program written to make someone else sickening rich. Laundring your money, or should I say theirs, through a country that you have never heard of.
The billing info on your credit card or bank statement is a front man getting his percentage and then . . . poof. Bye Bye Green Backs.
You may think I am cynical, lost a lot of money on Full Tilt (or Absolute Poker, Poker Stars, Players Only, etc... all the same), LOST hand after hand to someone with some insane ALL INS ($1 to $150 tourny's) or am just a conspircy theory freak . . . I may even be all of those . . . but trust me, you will never Win AND cash out on any of those sites.

Full Tilt Poker is illegal in this country because on-line gambling is illegal, not because of a failure to pay out issue.
Slimjim on 01/04/2010:
"Unsactioned by the USA Government" Like CA said, they all are. You must live in an area that has a void of all the casinos popping up. It used to be Vegas and Atlantic city, but now they are almost everywhere with Indian casinos and such, almost all offering Poker. I've never done much with online gambling. How can you ever trust any of them to pay you, and it's not like you can do a thing if they don't.
Inat on 01/04/2010:
Thanks for the heads-up, but I think a lot of people are already aware of the 'scam'. Online games are just like slot machines - they can be 'tweaked' to allow more or less payouts - it is not solely based on random number generators and are programmed to let you win enough to keep playing, but not enough to break the bank. Sorry, but most people know what they're getting when they make the gamble to play the game.
Anonymous on 01/04/2010:
I don't know if ALL online games are illegal in the US. I've had a friend who won 200,000 dollars on an online game but trust me, he was a HIGH roller....
I would say that 90% of online casino games out there are scams. Most of them offer you a deposit bonus of like 1000%. So you deposit 20 bucks, and they give you something like 200 bucks. That doesn't sound right to me from the get-go. There is obviously a scam here. How are these casinos making any money of they offer 1000% bonuses? because they know youre never going to get your 20 bucks back to begin with. A lot of them say you have to have $5,000 worth of "play" to even get a chance to withdrawal any funds. Its ridiculous. I don't know why anyone would do this. There are a FEW oline legit casinos out there though. You have to do your homework and look them up.

My friend plays poker at Doyles Room online and he has been paid out every time he requests a check. It takes a few weeks, but he gets paid.
Anonymous on 01/04/2010:
Here is the site that I use. It helps to know all of the rules in regards to payouts and such.
I use it to bet on college and pro sports. Why would you play against a machine when you can go to a local casino and bet against other people anyway?

Appliance Industry Forecasts: China
Web Exclusive: China's Appliance Industry in 2009
Diane Ritchey, News Editor
China, the world's second largest national economy, is also feeling the effects of the global economic crisis. The Chinese economy grew at double-digit rates in each of the last five years, with 10% GDP growth in 2006, 10.4% 2007, and 12% in 2008. Yet, economic growth in 2009 for the country should only be 7.5%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). "Countries in East Asia, including China, generally have suffered smaller markdowns, because their financial situations are typically more robust," IMF said. "They have benefited from improved terms of trade from falling commodity prices, and they have already initiated a shift toward macroeconomic policy easing," it said.Days after unveiling a massive fiscal stimulus programmed, the Chinese government said that industrial production had increased by 8.2% in October, well below forecasts. That number followed an increase of 11.4% in September 2008 and 17.8% in March 2008. Steel production dropped 17% in October 2008 compared with October 2007, while power generation fell for the first time in a decade. In addition, the Chinese government reported decline in house prices in October.Ken Peng, economist at Citibank, said the slowdown in production growth in China was even more rapid than during the Asian financial crisis a decade ago. "The data underscore why risks of 5% GDP growth remain real," he said. "We need to see evidence in the coming months that fiscal easing has gained traction to avoid 5% becoming a reality."To help stimulate growth in the China's economy, the Chinese government in late November announced its biggest interest rate cut in 11 years, hoping to spur private borrowing and support a multibillion-dollar stimulus package to boost slowing economic growth. The 1.08 percentage-point rate cut was the fourth cut in three months. The 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus aims to inject money into the Chinese economy through spending on new highways and other public facilities. But its ultimate goal is to increase consumer spending, something that all economists agree would be the best scenario.
OEMs In China
Carrier Corp. invested in China in 2008 as part of a joint venture with Guangdong Midea Electric Appliances Company, Ltd. to produce residential and light commercial duct-free split air-conditioning systems exclusively for Carrier for the global market. Both companies reportedly invested 200 million Yuan (approx. $29 million) in registered capital to establish the new company. Earlier in 2008, outdoor appliance maker Husqvarna Zenoah, under the Husqvarna Group of Sweden, made an additional investment of $26.2 million in the Changzhou National Hi-Tech District in Jiangsu Province, with the plan to build a new factory for Zenoah (Changzhou) Machine Co., Ltd."We had conducted in-depth investigations into the investment environment in Changzhou before coming here to make investments. The natural environment is satisfactory, geographic position is favorable and people are honest here. What's more important is the government pays great attention to the introduction and development of foreign enterprises," said Bo Andreasson, executive vice president of the Husqvarna Group.

You're all familiar with the "Ideal Gas Law" (gasses expand to fill the available volume). After sleeping with Michael at my parents' house, I have a corollary -- the "Ideal Michael Law" -- Michael expands to fill the available bed space. I don't know how a little three year-old can take up a whole queen sized bed, but he does.
There is also something magical about his feet; no matter where I position him and where I sleep, his feet always wind up pointed at my face (or other sensitive parts.) It's like a pain compass.
Plus, he snores like a little pig. It's a good thing he's cute and the return policy wasn't very liberal.Posted by Tony at February 19, 2004 10:13 AM | TrackBack

Grace Notes: A San Francisco Home Renovation
With the help of decorator Palmer Weiss, a young San Francisco family rejuvenates a rambling 1908 Shingle Style house, endowing it with a gentle new spirit
By Miranda Silva
The homeowners appreciated Weiss's aesthetic restraint as much as her attention to detail. "There may be nailheads on a chair, but there are not nailheads, plus trim, plus a leopard-print pillow," says the wife. The couple did, however, encourage Weiss to be fearless when it came to the art. Interested in building their collection, they tapped the designer (who studied art history but does not profess to be an art adviser) to suggest pieces, a process that's ongoing. "What I love about Palmer is that she isn't bringing me safe, predictable pieces—anybody could do that," the wife says. "She brings me this totally out-there guy, Vincent Fournier, taking photos of Mars research missions in Utah." Conceptual pieces by Stephen Galloway and Rachel Perry Welty also serve as fresh counterpoints to the home's traditional leanings.
The study's custom-made sofa is covered with an ikat by Shyam Ahuja, the same fabric used for the shades; the vintage armchairs are by Karl Springer, the cocktail table is by David Iatesta, and the rug is by Stark.

Metro: Last Light trailer details factions, mutant tactics
by John Keefer, shacknews.com, Apr 16, 2013 11:00AM PDT
If you are buried in a subway system after a nuclear holocaust, it's good to have a plan. A new trailer for Metro: Last Light offers the second in a series of survival guides for getting out of the Moscow subway alive.
The video goes into detail about the various human groups inhabiting the subterranean system, as well as tactics for getting you past enemies and conserving ammo. And beware of the big bad mutants, as there is no reasoning with them.
The game will be out on May 14 for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

What makes a poison ivy rash go away?
- Q: What makes a poison ivy rash go away?
- A: Contact dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin caused by direct contact with an irritant or allergy causing substance. Poison ivy causes this condition when your skin comes in contact with the sap of the plant, called urushiol. Wash the area immediately with soap and water. Quickly washing the area can prevent a reaction, but it doesn't usually help if done more than one hour after touching the plant's sap. Carefully wash any contaminated objects or clothing alone in hot soapy water. Do not let the items touch any other clothing or materials. An over-the-counter antihistamine, such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine), or a steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone, may help relieve itching. Typically, if the rash is not severe, it goes away on its own in approximately 7 to 10 days. If the rash is over a significant amount of the body, or close to the eyes, you may need to consult with a physician to get an oral prescription medication. Other treatments to relieve the symptoms of poison ivy include cool, wet compresses for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, or bathing in an oatmeal bath, such as Aveeno. Lori Poulin, PharmD

Now, he's staring down the barrel of a gun, pursued by two of the world's most dangerous men. To get out, he'll have to do all the things he thought he'd never do again: lie, cheat, steal-and this time, maybe even kill.Mike grew up in a world of small-stakes con men, learning lessons at his father's knee. His hard-won success in college and law school was his ticket out.

But peddling influence, he soon learns, is familiar work: even with a pedigree, a con is still a con.Combining the best elements of political intrigue and heart-stopping action, THE 500 is an explosive debut, one that calls to mind classic thrillers like The Firm and Presumed Innocent.

Just an hour away, but quite different from Hong Kong, is Macau: the mega-resort and casino center that also has interesting historical sights.
Macau's main draw for tourists are the big casinos and hotels. It is the new gambling resort capital of the world with 5 of the world's 10 largest casino resorts. But there are also old Portuguese sites to see. UNESCO World Heritage sites San Ma Lo and Guia Fortress are popular with tourists.
You'll need your passport to travel between these two regions. However, foreign tourists to Hong Kong generally have no problem entering Macau with a free short term stamp on their passport.
Ferry prices are higher in the evening and highest at night, and higher at weekends and holidays.
China Ferry Terminalis in Tsim Sha Tsui. Price: 132 to 172 HKD (single trip, economy class). It is about a kilometer north of the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry. You could walk to it through Harbour City Mall, or just take a taxi to 33 Canton Road.
Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal is near the IFC Towers in the Shun Tak Center on Hong Kong Island. Price: 132 to 172 HKD (single trip, economy class). It is near the Star Ferry, the IFC Mall, and the Shueng Wan MTR station.
Sky Pier at the Hong Kong International Airport is for transiting tourists only. Price:159 to 172 HKD during the day.
Macau Maritime Ferry Terminalis the main northern terminal closest to San Ma Lo, architectural attractions, and about 23 mainly smaller casinos. You can take Bus 3 from San Ma Lo to the Macau Ferry Terminal in about 10 minutes for 2.5 HKD.
Cotai Terminalis to the south, closest to the Cotai Strip area with the biggest casinos such as the Venetian, the City of Dreams across the street, and the Macau International Airport. To go to Cotai Terminal, take the Cotai Jet from any of the three Hong Kong terminals. There are late night returns (after 12 midnight) from the Cotai Terminal to the Hong Kong Macau Terminal.
Getting around in Macau is easy.Free casino buses line up at both terminals, and pretty
women representing their hotels and casinos stand and hand out coupons and information. Just get on the bus yo u want for free.
You can easily get lost in the biggest casinos eating, shopping, and seeing the shows. You could spend the whole day in just one casino, but why not see old Macau before you go back? You might find the casinos overwhelming and want a break.
To get a quick view of the best sites, Monte Fortress and San Ma Lo are the best places to go.
Monte Fortresswas built in 1627. The fortress and the Macau Museum in it is probably the best place to go to learn about Macau's history and culture. Museum tickets cost 15 HKD. While there, you might also want to see the ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral close by.
San Ma Lo: You can take a short free bus ride from the biggest casinos and hotels, such as the Venetian and go to this historic square. They leave about every 15 minutes.
Until 1999 Macau was a Portuguese colony. San Ma Lo is the old Portuguese square. Old pastel colored buildings line the sides, and a church is at the back. It and about 20 other old buildings and forts are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.If you enjoy Chinese herbs, there are good traditional herb shops around it such as on Da Jie street.
We understand that most of tourists would like to visit Macau in an efficient way with a competitive price. Based on the need, we offer a seat-in-couch one day tour to Macau from Hong Kong.

The program is designed and focused on achieving individual as well as team goals. The SSC Program can train football players, or athletes involved with basketball, soccer, swimming and much more. Also available in the SSC program is general and functional fitness. Many members take SSC classes to increase general fitness, maintain healthy bodies, and improve self-esteem. A child does not have to be an athlete to benefit from weightlifting and cardiovascular training.
SSC also prepares dedicated individuals to become student coaches. These coaches become proficient lifters and also learn various nutritional and stretching techniques. The student coaches will be more prepared to enter a field of physical fitness, if desired.
Class participants begin as novice lifters and are expected to work up to being experienced lifters requiring little to no supervision. Each student receives a training folder with basic programs aimed at progress through new challenges. Progressions are handed out weekly and many programs are available for students as well as athletes.
The program runs from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Usually members agree to a consistent time frame (generally 1 to 1.5 hours in length at least 2 days per week) within the open hours to train with the coaches. After 7:00 p.m. proficient lifters can workout without the interruption of open hours. There are also additional specialty classes offered like speed and agility, extreme balance training and flexibility development.
Basically, SSC is like group, personal training from skilled coaches.

The same as other bands of the genre, they use some excerpts from films (in Spanish), dealing about things like living dead and surgery, etc. but fortunately they don´t overuse them and it´s just occasional. The album begins and ends with an annoying noise, but after the last song there´s a hidden track, quite messy and awful by the way. When they use guitar leads and a bit melodic tunes the whole thing gets more interesting, so the most appealing songs are the ones where the groovy focus is stronger. Seventh track Decom-Posers is maybe the best song of the album, probably due to that feeling. Another thing to remark is the production, reminiscent of Carcass´ Symphonies Of Sickness and clear enough to recognize every instrument with a correct dose of brutality. Nothing new here: Grume will please every grindcore freak with its correctly performed, entertaining songs in the vein of Carcass golden age.

Recall President Obama's strange ATM problem from last year:
There are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers. You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM, you don't go to a bank teller, or you go to the airport and you're using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate.
Now, economists think productivity is a good thing. And automation improves productivity. As economist Paul Krugman famously put it, "Productivity in the economy is almost the only thing that matters."
Take the example of the tractor. What if the tractor had never been invented? What would be the economic impact of having to farm without that machine? It is a counterfactual explored in a new academic paper, "Engines of Growth: Farm Tractors and Twentieth-Century U.S. Economic Welfare" by economists Richard Steckel and William White.
How has the tractor made our lives better?
– The efficiency of tractors in performing farm tasks has dramatically reduced the inputs required in producing the food we eat.
– The long secular decline in relative food prices has allowed increased consumption of other goods, even among the poorest in our society. Labor released from agriculture has long since been absorbed into manufacturing and services, fueling growth in these areas.
– Agricultural surpluses, stimulated by mechanization and yield improvements from the green revolution in farming, have helped feed people throughout the world.
To illustrate these points, the paper first looks at the world of 1910:
In that year, more than 32 million people lived on the nation's farms, comprising 35 percent of the total population. Of these, the census records 12.1 million as farm workers, or about one third of the total work force of 38 million. The decade between 1910 and 1920 marked the peak of animal-powered farming in the United States. Farmers employed more than 21 million horses and 5 million mules to produce the nation's crops. Of the total land area in the continental United States in 1910, farmland comprised almost half, representing 879 million acres. Slightly more than a third of this, or 310 million acres, were used for growing crops, the remainder being woodland, pasture, land for structures, and unimproved areas. Agricultural output was sufficient to provide an exportable surplus of cotton, tobacco, grains, and animal products totaling $900 million, slightly exceeding farm product imports.
Ford introduced its first tractor in 1917. And, as the above chart shows, machine might began replacing animal muscle.
Now let's jump ahead to 1954:
The population of the United States had increased by 80 percent to 165 million, while farms had lost more than 40 percent of their people. Despite these changes, the amount of land used to grow field crops was little altered. The total reported for the census year of 1954 was 329 million acres, a 6 percent increase from 1909, and only 30 million less than the all-time high reached in 1929. Large decreases in corn and cotton acreage were balanced by the 18 million acres of soybeans and 16 million acres of grain sorghum added to the nation's output mix. Exports of farm products totaled $3.1 billion, again dominated by cotton, wheat, and tobacco.
So, the paper asks, how much poorer would the United States have been in 1954 had the tractor not been invented:
Specifically, a hypothetical economy is explored, one forced to grow crops with horse and mule power, as was the case in the actual 1910 economy. … In this paper we show that agricultural mechanization as embodied in the tractor and related equipment made a significant contribution to the growth of U.S. output. The social savings is calculated at $29.2 billion, or 8.0 percent of U.S. GNP in 1954.
Once the dominant design emerged in the 1930s, tractors were able to deliver mobile power with a far lower cost in terms of labor, at a comparable expenditure of capital, and without consuming a large portion of the output in the process. … In most pre-industrial economies, the food supply imperative causes almost the entire economy to be devoted to agriculture. Any improvement to farm productivity will have a huge impact on the wealth of the population, as long as there is alternate employment for the resources released from agriculture. The United States, in its first century as a nation, although well on its way to industrialization, had a large proportion of its population engaged in agriculture. … it might have been impossible to feed the 1954 population of the country without the two agricultural productivity shocks, mechanization and yield improvement.
Now, to put all that in 2012 numbers, 8% of today's economy equals $1.2 trillion. Indeed, the economists think the tractor was more important in boosting growth than the railroad. As the Library of Economics and Liberty puts it: "If a country wants its standard of living to rise over the long run, its labor productivity has to go up. And for that to happen, it either has to save more or innovate." The tractor was a major innovation. And if we want the U.S. economy to produce as much prosperity in the next 100 years as it did the past century, we'll need a few more major innovations—even bigger than the ATM.
