The federal government has partially shut down due to a Congressional impasse over the funding of Obamacare.
The federal government has partially shut down due to a Congressional impasse over the funding of Obamacare.
IMO all parties share equally regarding the blame game for the Govt. shutdown.
Obama is the most divisive President I have ever seen.
Congress can no longer work together or represent their constituents instead pandering to BIG business and Hollywood instead.
Congress exempts itself from Obamacare, insider trading, etc., but holds the average American to a higher moral/ethical standard.
Obamacare was a train wreck getting passed and is a bigger train wreck being implemented.
Exemptions all around except for the individual taxpayer.
How pathetic are we falling for the same talking points each election cycle: campaign finance reform, ethics reform, cut spending/taxes, job growth, etc., and then still sending the same "career" politicians back to Washington and NYS Legislature?
GOP without a doubt.
optivity… your name implies one thing but your statements another. The President is the leader at a time in which Congress has reached the pinnacle of dysfunction. First, the exemptions exist due to compromise. The Republicans pushed the exemptions agenda and have bad mouthed the law in hopes of swaying public opinion and crippling its enactment.
The Republicans have been at the forefront of the majority of the dysfunction. As a recent TU editorial points out, Rove laid the groundwork and you are now viewing the results. The Democrats arent perfect by any stretch but the Republicans, under a Democratic President and a Democratic controlled Senate are willing to have all sides lose rather than man up and accept defeat. Its either their way… or NO way. PERIOD. Republicans got what they wanted … either their own way … or gridlock. Everyone who has elected a tea party representative really needs to take a long hard look the next time they find themselves in a voting booth. The country cant afford extremism. With the diversity that exists in this country… no group as extreme at the tea pariers can be afforded the power to do as they have done in recent years. Government is flat out disgusting at this point and you can thank your local, regional and national tea party leaders for that.
"Obama is the most divisive President I have ever seen"
A completely inaccurate statement manufactured by the right-wing media and their cohorts. You don't have a single shred of evidence to back that statement up, neither does anybody else slinging that line.
The bottom line is that Congress needs to pay its bills. Regardless of anything else they want, this entire debacle is about the unwillingness to borrow enough money to cover the bills they've already passed. "Compromise" simply isn't in the picture.
"Dear Time Warner, while I know that I owe you money for the services you've provided me in the last month, I've decided not to pay unless you give me a puppy." It wouldn't fly if I did it, and now we're seeing that it doesn't fly when the Republicans do it either.
@optivity: Spot On! There are no more ethics in government, at any level.
and i should have added… you cant negotiate with someone who refuses to negotiate. Nor can you legitimatly negotiate with someone who wants to renegotiate after they dont get their way 100% in previous negotiations.
the affordable health care act is LAW. Live with it. When your party is leading the country some time the road, when and in particular IF the country decides later that it isnt a good thing then you can repeal it at that time. Until that time… be a man and quit acting like little kids who didnt get their way
Can we stop with the following statement "Congress exempts itself from Obamacare…"
Congress, just like federal employees/state/city/county. Or anyone else who has health insurance, does not need ACA!!!
They have health coverage!
Why would you want to drop off your employers coverage to get ACA?
That is like divorcing your wife to marry her less attractive sister!
The GOP lost.
They do not get to renegotiate a law that has been passed, and found to be constitutional by the Supremes!
One small faction of a political party that is one third of the government are holding the American people and economy hostage because they will not accept the fact that it is the LAW. Held up as constitutional by the supreme court, and Obama ran his platform based on him following through and was elected, nor was it repealed during same elections. Optivity: have you considered that what you see as a divisive President is really a bunch of old white racists that continue to spew lies ala Faux news and put their spin on everything, while continuing to spiral this country downward? I am republican and I am embarassed by these shenanigans from a select few. When their leader says from the beginning that the republicans will not work with him, how can we expect anything less than childish behavior from these people.
Joe: 100% correct..Republicans are letting the tail wag the dog here..Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and a minority of House Republicans are going to try to do in Congress what they couldn't do in the elections. John Boehner is so afraid he'll lose his Speakership he just cowtows and everyone pays for it.. You know who's going to pay in 2014? "Moderates" like Gibson in swing Districts..watch and see..
The ACA should have been put before the public as a referendum. I am a lower income Democrat and this bill is forcing me to get insurance I can't pay for. I am a temporary employee so I never know how long an assignment will last, what my next hourly rate of pay will be or even the hours I will work. To force me to buy an insurance plan I can't afford or be fined is absolutely un-American in my opinion and unless you are directly affected by this like I am then your opinion means nothing to me. I have to decide between living off Ramen and having insurance or eating meat and being fined.
The president and the Senete Democrates don't want to admit that their "golden calf" ISN'T good for the US. Nobody wants it, it is killing business and it creates EXCESSIVE burdons on the middle class. For what? VOTES!!
The VOTERS! We keep putting these people back in office. What is wrong with us?
Not my original, but the Tea Party in the House forgot you can't take a hostage everyone knows you won't shoot.
Boehner's legacy can be made right here. He can insist on an up or down vote on a clean bill, which will pas. If it costs him his Speakership he will be remembered well by history. If (more likely in my view) it doesn't, it will finally demonstrate to the GOP that the Tea Party Congressmen are simply the latest clothes-less Emperors!
The US government is run by a bunch of self-centered, power hungry morons. Party affiliation has nothing to do with it.
Uric, wrong… the real problem was Voters simply voted against incumbents and wound up voting in Tea Partiers. THAT is the problem. This is a case of "the unknown is now worse than the known"
The Republicans are responsible, not only for the partial government shutdown, but for everything else that is wrong with the world. Poverty, famine, disease, inequality, injustice, domestic violence, child abuse, hungry children, obesity in children, heart disease, cancer, AIDS, 9-11, racism, classism, male chauvenism, heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, landslides, golf-ball sized hail, and global warming and/or global cooling (whichever one is the problem this week) can all be traced directly to the pernicious influence of Republicans and their sordid, scary compatriots, the Tea Party. If only there were no pesky Republicans and Tea Party patriots to nip at President Obama's heels and speak against his generous government spending, his daring new health care reform, his compassionate bailouts, his progressive approach to taxation, his innovative assertions of executive authority, and his refreshingly cavalier attitude toward matters of conscience and religious liberty, the United States would usher in a new era of peace and prosperity. The lion would lie down with the lamb, and a little child would lead them. Woe to the Republicans. And double woe to the Tea Party. Actually, make that triple woe. If there is such a thing.
owebamacare is responsible for the shutdown. In particular, the "individual mandate" that forces Americans to buy insurance. Take away the force and let people choose what they want to do. I have no intention of complying with owebamacare and the government can KMA trying to collect.
Listen to the facts not the media.
How do you compromise with someone not willing to bring something to the floor and who tables almost everything? Thats my answer. HARRY REID and Obama thinks its their way or no way. If OBAMA had more than 5 percent of his adminisration with some business background he would have some common sense to reach a sound solution before this mess.
Also it figures the TU readers think its the Republicians fault, its not common sense. New York taxes are a great example of the messed up budget and unaccountable spending spree in government.
Can't wait to move.
Timmay, right there with you. I was a registered republican for years until it became too embarrassing to be one.
I blame every voter and non-voter who didn't make the effort to vote out every current political leader. I also blame members of the "Committee to Save NY" who preached the benefits of globalization of our work force and encouraged reductions in wages and benefits for all middle class workers. I blame expensive entitlement programs that encourage healthy Americans to manipulate these programs. I blame Mobil Exxon for charging more for diesel fuel than gasoline. I believe that covers it.
Obama and Reid refuses to bend even alittle when it comes to republicans so we have a stalement today , just they dosnt want the keystone pipeline to make us less dependent on foreign oil, and the polls indicate the majority of the country dosnt want Obamacare or the taxes that come with it but they wont listen.
#11 I feel for you. I was in that position 2 years ago and am looking at a layoff in 2 months.
People don't understand how incredibly expensive insurance is, particularly for those who have to go private such as yourself.
You may or may not like Republicans but they are not to blame here. Obama wants to raise the debt ceiling yet again?? The Senate today refused to meet with the House, refused to restore pay to some government workers. All the Republicans want to do is delay the individual mandate and not raise the debt ceiling yet again. Yeah, real unreasonable.
I was so happy when Obama was elected and as for his lack of experience I thought, how bad could it be? Well, it's bad.
@Snapdragon – party affiliation has EVERYTHING to do with it.
Democrats want to simply keep the government running. No other demands tied to this.
Republicans will ONLY keep the government running IF the Democrats submit to their demands. Whether the demand is to allow the XL Tarsands Pipeline (one of their earlier demands), defund Obamacare entirely (their demand last week), or delay implementation of a critical component of Obamacare (their current demand), they are STILL trying to EXTORT the Democrats into giving in to their demands.
And in an amazing coincidence, the Insurance companies fund the Republicans, the Insurance companies are adamantly opposed to Obamacare (which doesn't let them rip off America as much as they used to), and the Republicans are holding the entire economy hostage in order to hurt Obamacare.
If the founders were alive today< they'd be ready to storm the capital, and run u communist left wing give me everything i want crybabies outta this country! Most of you need to take a stroll through a real history book and learn why this contry exsist! Ill not be part of obamacare, or any other government program that takes away my rights a an American! This country is going nuts, and is being handed to freeloaders! When did "Ask not what your country can do for you", turn into What can my government give me? Government is not the answer to this country's problems, Government is the problem!
Our culture is to blame. There are no Profiles in Courage anymore. Just weak willed politicians show boating for their core constituencies.
Politicians and the media have turned governance into a sport where it's not good enough to just root for the home team – you have to also revile the opposition. We don't think anymore. We plot, scheme, and react to make sure the other guys look worse than we do.
This isn't a matter of opinion to be argued over in a poll. It is a fact that the Republican-controlled House has manufactured this crisis. Next poll question: Do you believe the Earth is a sphere or is it flat?
Only in America, with our free speech, could so many people be blinded to the obvious truth that the Republican Majority in the House shut down the government. It is a well-reported, obvious, incontrovertible truth- yet 36% of polled Americans are denying even that. Of course, that's the same 36% that are still claiming global warming is a big lie….
Whenever I am tempted to point out the truth that the American public educational system is the single most impressive feat (well, besides our military might, I suppose) in the history of the world, educating and raising generation after generation of non-English speaking immigrants and rural and urban poor, I remember that we clearly have failed to educate the 36% that think President Obama is the problem here…
TEAPublican extremists want to take the ball home and end the game if they do not get their way. We had an election in 2012 and they lost. Healthcare was a central issue in that election–remember your candidate ran away from his record of helping people out of fear of the TEAPublican radicals. Boehner needs to let the issue be voted on and end the embarrassment that he has brought on his party…and the TEAPublicans need to tune out Fox News and get connected to the real world. During normal times propaganda only works on delusional individuals. A deep belief does not make the world what you wish it to be…reality exists…get wired in…
The results of the poll thus far tells me we have more sheeple in the crowd than I thought.

Former Gujarat DGP R B Sreekumar on Tuesday claimed that he had been asked to tap the phone of Congress leader Shankarsinh Vaghela in 2002, but he had refused. �Many� officers in the state, however, act as directed by Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Sreekumar said.
The former IPS officer, who has been taking on Modi, on Tuesday filed a criminal defamation and conspiracy suit against the BJP�s prime ministerial candidate, party chief Rajnath Singh, BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi and space scientist Nambi Narayanan, accusing them of carrying out a malicious campaign against him over the
Narayanan has blamed Sreekumar, then an IB officer in Kerala, for the charges that resulted in his being sent to prison and an end to his career, but which were ultimately thrown out by the Supreme Court. The BJP has accused Sreekumar of cooking up the case against Narayanan at the behest of the CIA.
�I was asked by the (then) chief secretary to tap Vaghela�s phone, who said that it was on the orders of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. I refused to do so but Modi has been using the state machinery to conduct such surveillance,� Sreekumar told reporters on Tuesday. He was reacting to recent allegations that Modi�s aide Amit Shah had ordered the Gujarat ATS to mount illegal surveillance on a woman.
Sreekumar said that when he was ADG (Intelligence) in Gujarat, he was also asked to snoop on Haren Pandya, one of Modi�s detractors who was shot dead in Ahmedabad in 2003.
�I was also asked to carry out surveillance on BJP leader Haren Pandya. There are many officers in Gujarat who act on the directions of the CM. Modi is not ungrateful, and rewards the officers who are loyal to him,� Sreekumar, who retired as the state�s police chief in 2007, said. Since leaving his job, Sreekumar has filed nine affidavits in Gujarat riots cases.
Counsel for Sreekumar Brijesh Kalappa said, �The BJP has raked up the two decades old ISRO case in order to paint Sreekumar black only with a view to ensure that the bulk of his evidence in Zakia Jafri�s petition is trashed, the verdict on which is expected on December 2.�
In his complaint, Sreekumar has said: �...On 25.9.2013, Modi met Nambi Narayanan in Kerala and hatched a conspiracy to harm the reputation of the complainant to tarnish the complainant�s image in

Debt Super Committee Could Spoil the Holidays
I find it almost comical that America is so obsessed about this $1.5 trillion spending cut initiative. After all, we already have a $14 trillion national debt (which excludes another $1.2 trillion in state debts and $1.7 trillion in local municipalities' debts), and these targeted debt reductions are to be implemented over a 10-year timeframe. That's hardly a drop in the bucket.
What really raises my ire, however, is my sense that a bunch of accounting gimmicks may lead the JSC to proclaim that it has achieved its deficit reduction target. For instance, as much as $300 billion in deficit improvement can be attained over the next 10 years by using "chained CPI" as opposed to the current CPI measure when indexing federal entitlement benefits and tax thresholds. In other words, substituting this lower chained CPI figure means less dollars going to beneficiaries and more citizens paying higher taxes at a lower level of income in the future.
Given such low expectations for the JSC, we are at the crest of an ironic moment in U.S. financial history. A larger-than-expected agreement may lead to a relief rally in "risk assets" on Wall Street. Imagine that: the U.S. government acts like an adult to address some of its structural, long-term debt ills, and the bond markets respond by raising yields on U.S. Treasury bonds.
Conversely, should the JSC fail to reach an agreement, the resulting bitter disappointment and fear of a deadlocked Congress could lead to an increased aversion to risk and a flight to quality such that U.S. Treasury bond yields would fall (and a self-propelling U.S. recession might follow as well).Ironic, isn't it? Perhaps this seems counter-intuitive to you. If so, welcome to the emotional roller coaster that many investors have experienced this year in the global bond and stock markets. Stay tuned.

Sterling silver oval link necklace with rough opal, calcite, and blue agate beads
Material: Sterling silver, opal, calcite, and agate
Brand: Wendy Mink
Origin: United States
Based in NYC, Wendy Mink designs jewelry influenced by her love of history and her far-flung travels — think Victorian drama fused with Indian flair, by way of Tibet. Uptown, downtown; high, low; East, West: Mink's collection of meandering, organic shapes, drenched in gold vermeil and semi-precious stones, represents the perfect culture clash. A team of Tibetan artisans uses ancient techniques such as hammering, molding, and wire-wrapping to handcraft all of Mink's turquoise rings, lapis lazuli and blue calcite drop earrings, labradorite necklaces and other designs. Synthetic resin adds plenty of chic, sharp shocks of color to Wendy Mink's gold and silver wares.

NEW YORK (WPIX)—People in Queens are giving credit to PIX 11 News for the recent surge of city cleanup crews in storm-ravaged neighborhoods.
"Amazing What Embarrassing TV Coverage Will Do" was the headline Tuesday on the popular blog Queens Crap, which spotlighted Greg Mocker's report on the rush of tree-removal crews to the Middle Village area, which was hit by a tornado on September 16.
"Bloomberg hates to have his 'Bloomberg' brand tarnished with negative comments particularly on TV," wrote one person.
That was echoed by "Linda" who said: "Who cares what sign is on the truck, the damn trees are getting cleaned up!"

What are the pros? easy to grow, very sweet
What are the cons? the wait for melons lol
I love pretty much everything about these. I grew multiple types of watermelon last year. This was one of them. They grew so easily. They were so very crisp and sweet. I plan to grow them again this year!

What are the pros? nothing
What are the cons? not setting fruit
These seeds grow well, rambling all over but none of the blooms have set fruit in my garden. I have bees and other melons are producing so I am not sure what the issue is. We do have alkaline soil/water but soil has been amended.

What are the pros? ?
What are the cons? Won't grow
So far i have had germination in the 50-60%range so it hard to get them started and the plants i did start wont really grow..the soil has plenty of compost mixed in and full sun i dont know what the problem is

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
We grew this watermelon this year in New Mexico and just harvested our first this evening. Fruit is pale orange, sweet like the subtle flavor of honey rather than an intense sweetness. Very good, enough in the melon to provide 2-3 slices for 5 family members (most of the melons are a little bigger than a canteloupe). Looking forward to seeds germinating in our compost next year!
We've had these 4 years, and love them.... More than red fleshed watermelons. They are so easy to grow, we now have them as "watermelon weeds" in our yard, and where we spread compost. Not that we mind, we just end up with melons growing in strange places :).

/Ex. 33] DEPAETUEE FOE AMERICA 197 realised, though rather late in the day for their own dignity, that no jury could be got to convict the Leaguers, and they did not wish to risk a verdict of 'not guilty.' All Ireland laughed at this performance; and landlords and tenants, who had so little in common, joined in regarding the action or non-action of the Administration with contempt and ridicule. As winter approached famine threatened the west, and committees were formed by the Duchess of Marl-borough (the wife of the Lord-Lieutenant) and by the Lord Mayor to collect food and clothing for the starving peasantry. At the Land League Conference of October 21 a resolution had been passed requesting Parnell to visit America ' for the purpose of obtaining assistance from our exiled fellow-countrymen.' This resolution was now put into effect, and on December 21 Parnell set out for New York (accompanied by Mr. Dillon) on the twofold mission of appealing for funds to save the tenant farmers from immediate ruin, and of consolidating the union between the Irish at home and the Irish abroad.

|DD and I are going to be in Las Vegas for a couple days...I know we're spending two nights, possibly 3...and we're going to a concert Saturday night, then flying out with the sunrise the next morning.
We don't gamble, and have no desire to go to any shows, so we are hoping to catch a few fun sights while we're there. I know that there is the fountain/dancing waters that is a must see...but any other fun recommendations?
We'll be spending the first few days in Los Angeles, going to Disneyland one day, and I am hoping to meet up with my childhood best friend, as well as go see lots of family. DD will probably want to hit Melrose, and we've got a plan to go to a couple sites on Sunset (the Rock Walk Wall of Fame is on the list). I'm from So Cal, so I know all the great spots to hit up there. If I can talk her in to it, we'll go to Vegas Thursday night, so we have all day Friday to sightsee and Saturday to lounge at the pool while prepping for the big concert that night (the HIGHLIGHT of our trip).
Given this is whirlwind, can you please list Las Vegas must sees with some alternates, if we have the extra day? Thanks!!
Follow-Up Postings:
|I was going to suggest the Liberace Museum, but it is closed.

|Bellagio Fountains - but go inside to see the Dale Chihuly glass ceiling. They also change their garden/conservatory seasonally.
The Venetian is beautiful - lobby, hallways of the shops.
The Secret Garden at the Mirage is beautiful - lots of spoiled white tigers (Siegfried and Roy's) and dolphin habitat.
Who are you going to see in concert? If you decide to see another show, Carrot Top is always funny. DH saw Terry Fator and said he was hysterical. Mystere is my favorite show. DH's is Jersey Boys.
|Oh yes, I forgot about the Bellagio...I am a huge fan of Dale Chihuly, so I must see that!
We're going to see Poison and Def Leppard-they're touring along with the Rock of Ages movie. Their music features prominently, and I am the BIGGEST fan of Def Leppard. They're not touring in the PNW, so I have to go see them in Vegas. Yeah...HAVE to. Haha. DD and I are ready for the heat and sunshine...it's been raining and cool still here.
|Must sees but no shows? That IS Vegas! I second Mystere as a must see. Many like the other Cirque shows,too, but I think Mystere is the best. Even if you've ever seen Cirque in one of their travelling shows, it cannot compare to this production. It is enthralling.
Liberace museum was a favorite, too; so sad it closed. Not enough of us who remember him, I guess.
If you can rent a car for a few hours or find a tour, Red Rocks Canyon is close and gorgeous...plus you may see wild burros when you go. Lots of people take a helicopter tour to Grand Canyon from Vegas.
I haven't done it but there is an indoor skydiving place that looks pretty fun...and I don't know how old you are, but Menopause, the Musical is playing and anyone around that age should see it. funnier than I can say.
or maybe

|Mystere rocks! Over the years they have cannibalized it to spread some of the talent around to their other shows, but it's still the best. You already know that the fountains are the biggest draw. Just amazing. No first trip to Vegas would be complete without gorging oneself at a buffet. Not any old buffets are these. Try one at Bellagio, Wynn or Cosmopolitan.
If your husband (or you, for that matter) is a car freak, there is a great classic gallery at Imperial Palace.

|Another vote for the lobby and gardens at the Bellagio. I also enjoyed touring the other hotel/casinos on the strip. They each have their own distinct personality/style. We stayed at the Paris with a view of the fountains at the Bellagio. One day we walked one direction on the strip, and the next day we walked the other. It's been 5 years, so I haven't seen the new City Center complex, and I believe that there is also a new Wynn. I really liked the original Wynn. It actually had a calmer, less frenetic atmosphere than the other casinos.
If you have extra time, go to Fremont Street, which is the "classic" Vegas. Make sure you go at night for the Fremont Street Experience.
And I also recommend Mystere.
I'm also not a gambler. We were there for 3 nights and I think I played one penny machine.

|I'm glad to see we are not the only ones that think Mystere is THE BEST Cirque show. lol
We don't gamble either. What was fun for me was playing quarter slots. Part of the fun was pulling the arm down. They you get a 'card.' That's no fun!!! I walk away if I loose $5. lol We go for the shows and it's a place DH can walk and walk, never get bored.
|I was there for a convention not long ago and did do the shows in the evening and then on the last day before going to the airport my co-worker and I drove out to Hoover dam. It is really not that far and if you haven't been I would think it is worth the trip.
|Just 30 minutes away from the strip! Gorgeous. Wonderful hiking and at least worth the drive through. Small park fee. If you have access to a car, this is a MUST see.

|I was going to suggest the Liberace Museum, but it is closed.
Maybe it'll reopen after the movie comes out.

| I was in Vegas in March for my birthday. I use to love to gamble but it's not my cup of tea any longer.
We did go to see the Cirque show (the water one) and I hated it. It's not cheap either, but affordable.
My friend loves Donnie and Marie and bought the tickets before we got there. The thought of seeing D&M made me cringe. I didn't care for them when I was young. But, you know, it wasn't half bad. In fact I liked it better than that Cirque thingie. However, I wouldn't recommend it unless your a fan.
Ron White the comedian was there a few days before we got there, now that's someone I would of loved to see. Gawd, he's funny.
|Some great suggestions, thanks! DD and I will probably take a walking tour of the Bellagio and the other chichi casinos, then spend time lounging by the pool. The drive over from LA will take about 6 hours, and Saturday night we have an epic concert to attend...then we fly out VERY early Sunday morning.
She's going to go back down in September with her girlfriends, and some of my girlfriends and I are considering a trip down, too. When we do that, I will definitely consider a show or two and plan to see Red Rocks, too. This trip is just going to be a quickie, to fill in some time before the concert.
I've never been before, so I expect once I get there, I'll definitely want to go back!
|Def Leppard is one of the only bands I didn't see :( was pretty heavily into them; have a lot of their music. I remember when they came back after the accident. Was very hard to see him like that. No clue if tickets were hard to get when they came back; would have loved to see them. I have a feeling there are a lot of people in my shoes lol
I've seen Poison; Valentines day in the 80's; then ran into CC Deville at the Whiskey. I used to love Rikki Rockett!
Have fun! I know you will.

|I know you're not interested in shows, but we would have to see Penn & Teller.
We are likely passing on the Def Leppard/Poison show here or will maybe get lawn seats.
I have a HS friend in Vegas, and I really need to get out there!
|We saw Viva Elvis and Jersey Boys when I went with my girlfriends a little while back. I am a HUGE Elvis fan, and girfriends werent, but they LOVED the Elvis show. Jersey Boys was very good too.
I miss the old Las Vegas! My parents took us back then and so glad I knew how it use to be. Maybe I should embrace this new Las Vegas, but, when driving around there and seeing all the new places, and the old hotels not there anymore, really makes me sad! I just loved the ambiance of the old Vegas. Now, there are some wonderful places to eat now, where used to you had to seek them out. But, I loved playing Keno when getting tired of playing slots, and I think someone there said one place had Keno now, and I went there and they said they just stopped recently. Vegas just plays to a new and younger crowd now. Must me making money, or they wouldn't have done it though.

(Updates with litigation in third paragraph.)
Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Irving Picard, who is liquidating con man Bernard L. Madoff's money management firm, asked a judge today to grant him and his law firm $45 million in fees for the period Feb. 1 to May 31.
The Madoff trustee's own charges for the four months are $599,301 in fees and $479.80 in expenses, according to a court filing today. His seventh request for payment would bring total fees for Picard and Baker & Hostetler LLP to more than $224 million since Madoff's arrest in December 2008, according to court records.
Picard, who has filed 1,000 suits seeking $100 billion from banks such as HSBC Holdings Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co., said in the fee application he expects to spend more time litigating in the future in the U.S. Supreme Court, the appeals court and district court, as well as bankruptcy court where he originally filed his suits.
He has appealed a July ruling by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who threw out almost $9 billion in damages that Picard demanded from HSBC and feeder funds. Of the $8.6 billion Picard has recovered for investors in the Ponzi scheme, about $5.3 billion is tied up in court challenges and other "unresolved issues," said Amanda Remus, a Picard spokeswoman, in an e-mail.
Burden of Litigation
By contrast, bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. today dropped its bid to keep fighting in court for $11 billion from Barclays Plc, citing the burden of litigation on the estate and the need to conclude the bankruptcy.
Rakoff challenged Picard's fees in a court hearing about the trustee's $59 billion suit against defendants including Sonja Kohn and UniCredit SpA.
"I just keep reading in the papers how much is being paid to Picard," Rakoff said.
The trustee's fees are paid by the Securities Investor Protection Corp., which is funded by the securities industry, Remus said.
The main case is Securities Investor Protection Corp. v. Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, 08-ap-1789, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Indonesia exports,
PT Timah,
Peter Kettle,

LONDON Smelters that rely on lower-purity tin could be hurt by Indonesias new regulation requiring material to be 99.9-percent pure in order to be exported.
"The quality issue will affect other smelters outside of Indonesia who had previously relied on crude tin as feed, which theoretically can no longer be shipped," a trader told AMM sister publication Metal Bulletin. "On the (London Metal Exchange), I would say the situation is affecting the market, with tin being the only metal (in recent days) to increase in price as the others fell."
Three-month tin climbed to $22,295 per tonne Sept. 5, the first time the price breached $22,000 in four weeks, following PT Timah Tbks declaration of force majeure, which was linked directly to the new legislation (amm.com, Sept. 4).
Indonesian refined tin exports are now required to contain a minimum of 99.9 percent tin, with specific maximum impurity limits for nine other elements, including aluminum and zinc. The tin market has yet to feel the full impact of the new legislation, but more difficulties are expected in the coming months.
"Tin demand over the summer has been very low and stocks are mitigating the effects of the Indonesian situation in the very short term, but if the situation is not resolved soon I imagine premiums will increase again more significantly," the trader said.
On the other hand, Peter Kettle, manager of statistics and market studies at the International Tin Research Institute (ITRI), said he believes the new regulation may be the right move for Indonesia. "I am getting the impression that the new regulation might just work, and can see volumes starting to pick up on (the Indonesian Commodities and Derivatives Exchange)," he said in an e-mail.
But Kettle said the Indonesian legislation was implemented too hastily, causing immediate difficulties for smelters within the country. "The timing of the implementation is much too tightless than two months from announcement in early Julyand it would make sense for the start date to be pushed back to give the industry time to adapt and avoid supply disruptions," he said.
The most reasonable way of resolving the problems caused by the new legislation would be to extend the time frame for the exchange trading requirement by a few months to give the market time to adjust, he said. "It is impossible to expect the industry to adapt to this major change in just a few weeks from early July to end-August."
The market is still under the impression that things will "go back to normal" in the next couple of months, based on previous experience with legislation on tin and other metals in Indonesia, Kettle said.
"ITRI is now expecting a 2,000-tonne deficit in 2013 (because of) a surplus in the first half of the year, slow demand and assuming Indonesian mine production will be about 95,000 tonnes, compared with exports running at an annual rate of about 105,000 tonnes up to now," Kettle said.
In terms of price outlook, he said, much depends on global macroeconomic factors, as well as the turmoil in Syria, and he is not sure whether there will be a significant rise in the near term.

How to open terminal port on demand?
I have to open terminal connection to windows server over the linux router and it should be safe solution. I can't use vpn (some ISP don't allow VPN connections) and I don't know ip people (they can travel through the world).
Are there solutions which allow to open port RPD on demand within several hours for the necessary IP?
Now I have thought up only one solution:
I can make a small site with https autorization where users can press button which run script (rule for iptables), that open 3389 port only for user IP. And this script make cron job that delete this rule after "X" hours.
It is not smart solution :) But it have to work.
Portknocking might be what you are after.

Haiti's Michael Brun Talks EDM Stardom and Label
By Jacob Katel
Beyond the cultivation of local talent, Daniels has hosted a slew of national and international artists, among them surf-guitar pioneer Dick Dale, retro-instrumentalists Los Straitjackets, the Silos, Joe "King" Carrasco, pseudo-Western swingers Big Sandy and the Flyrite Boys, and punk stalwarts TSOL. Of equal importance, though, have been Churchill's annual Miami Rock Festival, Harry Pussy's farewell gig from a couple of years back, and the 1997 reunion performance by the Eat.
But twenty years is a long time to do anything, and Daniels admits that the grind of maintaining the bar is getting a bit old. For the past few years, he's been looking to sell, thus far to no avail. "To be honest I haven't gotten much interest," he admits. "I still want to sell it, though. It's just too many hours for me. Sometimes I'll work a 100-hour week, which I resent. I've never had any length of time off in my life, and I'm starting to get old. I'd love to just take a year off."
Still, he can't hide his fondness for the place, and the much-maligned neighborhood in which it rests. "People criticize Churchill's because it's in Little Haiti, and that they get hit on for money from the local derelicts. But we actually have very little trouble here. You can go to a very fine part of Miami Beach and get hit on for money to park your car, by the people who need money for their drugs, then you get hit on by the clubs for expensive drinks. And these places in Coconut Grove and Miami Beach -- the big company places with neon in the storefronts, the 400th unit of whatever chain -- they could be any place and it really wouldn't matter.
"We've succeeded because we fire on more cylinders," he continues. "We're an English pub. We're a neighborhood bar. We do the English soccer. We do entertainment. That spreads our overhead over a lot of things, which means we're very inexpensive when it comes to drinks and things. Kids can come here and have a nice night out and not spend a lot of money. And my contribution to all of this is just to let things happen. [The music] is not always something that I personally like, but a long time ago I learned that if somebody wants to pay for it, if there's a market for it, then fine. Just let it be."

I have tried using the matlab uitable object to house the data, it prints, but it will always go out of position when being printed since the table is hard anchored on the figure and moves to unintended location when it prints due to resizing issue.
Good work, however the same problem as Eric was pointing out that the grid does NOT print out, which makes it not quite as useful as it could be, as I have been looking hard for a solution in matlab to display tabulated data.

Another shot from Throop Mill. Still not really satisfied with it. Hate the turquoise sky and the edges of the tree leaves against it.
I've put it up anyway, hoping some folks can tell me how to make it better. Would a filter help with the sky? What kind? I think the edges of the trees are down to editing, but I can't get what I want in Lightroom or Photoshop. Any advice would be most welcome
The mill is a few hundred yards away from the farm where I keep my horse, so I see it every day and can go back to practice as often as I want. You have been warned!

If you consider the trumpet a side dish, the stuffing to some needlessly bespectacled frontman's turkey, you've been procuring too many of your meals via Pitchfork. That shiny, spitty contraption is a star, and there was an era that made it such, when horn players required only one name: Louis, Miles, Dizzy. These days you're lucky to see one tucked in the corner by the percussionist, trotted out as an accessory unless, that is, you're at the Kessler on Thursday. That's when Arturo Sandoval, the Cuban-born, Dizzy-influenced jazz trumpeter, brings his kinetic, cross-cultural road show to town. He'll sing, pound the piano keys and even tell some decent jokes, but the trumpet will star in ways that will make you wish Beirut didn't even bother. That he'll do it at the Kessler, a finely tuned venue much smaller than Sandoval might have played, makes the show even more enticing. Yells At Eels open.

Miami's Ten Best Vegan Desserts

I really hope I get along with my roommates. I want to live in the Castle. It houses residents in rooms of two to six. So I could have up to five other people to get along with.. No microwaves in the castle.
They've started tripling kids in rooms for my year. Triple!! IN what usually only has two people..
Well, even if I don't like it, I'm just going to leave the next semester and get my own room (and cook my own food..) in scotland.
I hope everything goes well in Scotland and I don't spend too much money.
I do hope I don't end up spending a lot of money I don't have. I mean, that's a pretty standard worry.
I hope I don't want to come home too often because I don't think I can secure a car anyways so I'll hardly be able to. I wish I could though. especially with my house being more or less empty. My brother is staying here, I believe, but I don't really care. I mean, he's a neat kid and all but we get along very well mostly because we don't really talk to each other that much. oh well. Party at my house : P
The class that worries me the most next year is chem. Sure, Biology is going to be hard. and it IS my major. I don't know what math I'll be in, and I know I'll have to in Honors Eng because I'm in the honors program (so math is likely adv. too). But see, at bigger schools the Bio kids would take slightly easier chem. But we're too small for that and we take Chem with the kids who are majoring in chemistry.
I got a summer reading book. A summer reading book!!! I was so excited to fnally have a summer where I wouldn't have to deal with summer reading.. But it's okay. for one, It's a graphic novel. I already finished it the first day I had it. (I also just got it wet and wrinkly and gross). It's a good book, too, about a girl growing up in Iran. It's called Persepolis, check it out.
I'm bored now and I'm going to go clean my room / get distracted by my sewing machine
(sewing machine has been finally named "usagi" which means rabbit in japanese. it looks like a pink bunny.)

Don't Buy Disney -- Wait For the Post-Earnings Pullback To $40
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Whenever I come across a stock that has been on an impressive run, as media and entertainment conglomerate Disney (DIS) has experienced, I get nervous. A lot of that has to do with the fact that by nature, I tend to err on the side of caution, but there is also the famous Buffett axiom of "being fearful while others are greedy." When I look at Disney ahead of its earnings announcement, I see a stock that has not only gained 15% on the year, but one that has surged 52% since bottoming out at $28.19 on Oct. 4.
While I will admit a company such as Disney, which is as solid and fundamentally sound as they come, rarely fits the "bubble" criteria, it begs the question: How much more upside movement is left in a stock that is already trading not only at its fair market value, but arguably is (somewhat) expensive when compared with other media names such as Time Warner (TWX) and CBS (CBS)? When you add the fact it is only percentage points away from its 52-week high, the level of anxiety heightens appreciably.
|After performance worthy of a fairy tale, how much more upside movement is left in Disney stock?
Expectations for the quarter
Wall Street is expecting earnings of 55 cents per share, which would represent a 12% increase from the same period of a year ago on revenues of $9.56 billion, or up 5.4% from the prior year. The company should have no problem beating these numbers, as several of its rivals, including Time Warner, CBS as well as Viacom (VIA) have produced solid increases across the board in not only revenues but also better-than-expected margins -- all of which attributed the performances to better-than-expected advertising growth, distribution revenues as well as content licensing.
In particular, Time Warner, one of Disney's principal broadcast competitors, reported an increase of 6% in adjusted operating income to reach $1.35 billion, while operating margin expanded 30 basis points to 19.4%. It also reaffirmed its double-digit growth expectation for the balance of this year. So it is doubtful Disney will show any signs of weakness, but I will be looking to see how the company plans to expand its brand and geographic footprint outside of the U.S.In March, the company launched a broadcast satellite channel in Japan targeting women and families. It said it expected $17.5 million of the $35 million in investment costs to go toward that initiative and count toward Q2 expenses. Though it did not offer a whole lot with regard to its plans to grow that channel as part of its overall portfolio, it certainly intrigues me to learn the progress of that endeavor and its impact on overall growth, as it is certain to also drive incremental expenses during the quarter. Bottom line
Disney's brand, which includes parks, resorts, cruise ships and a host of other businesses, is well known around the world. It doesn't take much convincing to become bullish on Disney, as the company has a track record of delivering strong performances. I would be slightly cautious at these levels, though -- particularly with respect to its recent run. Investors need to ask themselves: What exactly can the company report Tuesday that will offer an more surprise to the upside? I just don't see it. All of the good news is likely priced in, and investors wanting to get in on Disney should wait until after earnings and look for an entry level at $40 and possibly $38 -- representing the midpoint of the 100- and 200-day moving average.

I have no where to turn to do this, I've never really broken down and needed to talk to people or look for help before. I recently found myself pushed out of my home. It was my fault and I take full responsibility for it. I didn't do things wrong because Im a bad person, but because I can't cope with my problems.
I'm now desperately unhappy and alone. I have been in constant and indescribable emotional pain for days now, and I can't show it (except here, where no one I know will read it). I don't know what is going to happen, because the only time someone wanted me is over. They say they want me back someday..but then I feel more distant every day. The only light I've ever had in my life is gone and everyday that distance compounds the pain. This was the only chance I ever had to prove to the world that I was worth being wanted and I've failed.
I'm at a point now where the pain is unberable, and I'm unable to cope with all of the complex emotions I'm forced to deal with. But I don't know how to deal with them..
Please help me, I have nothing left in my life and I don't know what to do..

Before I start spouting advice, I ought to mention that I have some major issues that have made it all but impossible for me to keep friends, make friends, or maintain relationships. I currently don't have many people I can talk to ( by "don't have many", I mean, there's all of TWO - okay, maybe two and a half - and I can ONLY talk to them when they're available - read: almost never - read: a week every four to six months ), I gave up EVERYTHING ( by "everything" I mean shelter - I'm homeless, job - I have none, and a 14,000$ scholarship ) in order to help my friends at a moment's notice whenever they needed me, and they've even admitted that I've been there when no one else has, and I've shown them unconditional compassion in a way that no one else has. Yet, they've succumb to "obligations" ( which, really, are an illusion of first world minds ), and have "lost time" to give to anyone but their obligations. Therefore, I HAVE NOTHING. Seriously, the clothes on my back, my sketchpad in a satchel, and a tent in the woods with some blankets is what I own now. Even my fucking pencils have been stolen from me!
That being said, I fully understand what it's like to be rock-bottom. I'm not sure you could get much more rock-bottom than me unless you gave up on life completely. At least I'm not doing drugs or being a prostitute, so I guess I still have my dignity? Other than that, no friends, no family ( still talk to my mum, but she won't let me live with her ), very few personal items, no income. Honest to God, if I died tomorrow NO ONE would be aware of my disappearance. Even my mum, who I communicate with the most, will go a month or more without being worried enough to reach out to me. I'd be long gone before anyone noticed.
And yet, I don't really FEEL like I've hit rock-bottom. Because I don't LET myself. Those "issues" I mentioned at first? Paranoid schizophrenia, in a nutshell. Though, that's putting it very simplistically. My first therapist HONESTLY broke up with me because I was "too advanced of a case" for her to feel comfortable dealing with. I have to police my thoughts every day, several times a day, to keep from succumbing to truly believing that my friends have abandoned me ( my paranoia is a bit unique in that it's not "everyone's out to get me" so much as "everyone's fallen into circumstances in which, despite their honest desire to be a good person, they can't" - it more or less comes out to the same result, though ). My now-therapist doesn't believe there's anything wrong with me, despite TWO THERAPISTS before saying, very sternly, that there very much WAS, it's just... very, VERY well hidden. My case is complicated by the fact that I'm also very logical, and very aware of what's going on around me. Most schizophrenics are very much trapped inside their own minds, and can't see into other people all that well. Therefore, it's fairly easy to debunk their delusions about other people because you can use logic to sway their misconceptions. I, on the other hand, am exceptionally empathic, detail-oriented, and observational, and my predictions on other people's motivations and personality traits are often true, so on a scientific scale of probability, it's difficult to refute my intuition, which, when in check, is usually pretty spot on.
Now when I'm suffering from an emotional upset - like when my sister told me she no longer had time in her life for me, or when my two best friends told me basically the same thing ( one even joined the military, which I'm vehemently against because of how many people I've known who've come back totally fucked up, so that hurt a lot ), and that's when the "voices" and insane insinuations on other people begin to creep in. I've lived with this my whole life in a family that doesn't believe in it, though, so I've ALSO lived my whole life keeping in check what's "real" and what's "in my head", in order to "present as normal".
I feel that a similar vigilance can be used to "combat" depression. When you find yourself feeling upset, feeling sad, feeling thwarted or bested, pining, what-have-you, stop for a moment and analyse it. DO NOT BOTTLE YOUR FEELINGS. Simply let them play out, and ask yourself, "Is this how I want to feel?" You may have a desire to wallow, a desire to feel pain, you might even want to gouge that wound with sad music or revisiting broken memories, which is NOT unnatural or unusual. Allow the emotion to flow, allow it to pass, do not disrupt it, but once you begin to regain yourself, assess the situation, assess how you're feeling and why ( and it's NOT unusual not to be able to pin-point reasons at first, but with time you'll likely get better ). As you get in the habit of assessing how you feel, you'll also get into the habit of choosing to feel differently. Saying, "Okay, I've done that, let's move on to something else now." I'm homeless, I have no friends, I could CHOOSE to feel miserable and upset and pine on the past, but I shrug my shoulders and ask myself, "What use is there in being upset?" and move on.
I know I haven't said much about you, but let's face it - I don't know you. I simply hope that seeing someone else in such a situation might help you come to the conclusion that if someone else is that low down, yet maintains a smile and a desire to help others that perhaps you could do something similar. It's hard at first, but a habit only takes twenty-eight days to form. That's only a month, 1/12 of a year.

Thank you very, very much for your advice, I will try to follow it as best I can and deal with the pain in a positive way as you described.
I'm very sorry that you're in the situation you are in. I realize my problems are nowhere near the level of what you must endure. I've hit rock bottom before, but I feel this is the first time ever hit the peak of the emotional pain I can endure. Perhaps I'm just simply weak, but in any case, I hope things improve for you.

I truly believe that there is no such thing as a comparison in emotional turmoil. Perhaps you've never been homeless, friendless, jobless, and lost so much, but then, I've never been a starving child in Afrika. Just as it's impossible for me to understand the emotional turmoil of that child, it is impossible for you to understand exactly what it is that I'm dealing with - and likewise, just because I've had it "worse" doesn't mean I know diddly about how you're feeling right now.
I believe that your turmoil and your situation is just as paramount as mine. You should never belittle your own feelings - they're just as valid as anyone elses. A child drops his ice cream, and he will feel just the same amount of grief and unbearable sadness that you or I would feel at losing a loved one ( presuming, of course, that the child hasn't already felt the pain of losing a loved one ). It's a spectrum thing.
I really, very much, appreciate your concern and care about my situation, but my telling you wasn't so you could compare your sadness to mine, but to show you that despite the odds, someone can still maintain a smile. You are not weak, you're merely inexperienced. Experience doesn't happen until you, well, experience it, so keep trudging forward, keep learning, keep expanding your emotional horizons, and perhaps someday you'll be the person telling someone else about how when you hit rock bottom, you still managed to keep a smile despite it all.

Sometimes it just helps to talk about it. So what happened and how did you mess up?

When I should have been taking care of myself and building the kind of life I wanted, I instead let the pressures of life get on top of me and my life essentially came to a halt. I don't want to put other people through my problems, even if deep down I need someone in order to love life again.

Get help. I say it in the nicest way possible. We all go through some rough times, and in the end it'll only make you stronger
Maybe being in a relationship isn't the best thing for right now. Seek out a therapist/counsellor who seems right to you and start from there. Things will get better. I'm so sorry for you, but please don't give up

Thank you very much for your kind reply. I hope when this is over I'm happy again. Not being certain of the future is one of the most difficult things I suppose. It's good that I'm on my own again, but I don't think therapy will help me. Not professional anyway.
And thank you, I will not give up.

Press Release
Wolf Creek WMA Lease to Be Terminated
April 22, 2014
After more than 50 years, the lease agreement between the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) and the landowners of the Wolf Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) will be terminated on mutual terms. Beginning in the fall of 2014, there will no longer be a Wolf Creek Wildlife Management Area in Fayette and Walker counties. From 1990 to 2012, acreage owned by various families and timber companies was removed from the WMA, decreasing it from 31,000 to 9,055 acres. Personnel and resource limitations, coupled with a decline in public use of the remaining lands during the past several years, are the primary reasons for the decision by WFF.
Ray Metzler, Acting Chief of Wildlife, began his career at Wolf Creek WMA as an Area Biologist. "The Murphy, Johnston, Baker and Shaw families, along with many other small family ownerships and several timber related corporations, were and continue to be conservation pioneers whose actions benefit Alabama's wildlife resources and rich hunting heritage," he said. "WFF appreciates the conservation-minded actions that these families and corporations exhibited for more than 50 years. Their willingness to provide public hunting land for inclusion in Alabama's WMA system has provided an opportunity for thousands of hunters to enjoy the state's great outdoors."
Many individuals have fond memories of their first deer, an extraordinary hunt, or some other positive thought about the Wolf Creek WMA. The elimination of the Wolf Creek WMA will be disappointing to those who have enjoyed it in the past, but more than 700,000 acres are still available for public hunting in Alabama. "We will continue to seek out additional land for possible inclusion in the WMA system," Metzler said. "Partnerships with entities like the Forever Wild Land Trust are also helping secure land that can be used for hunting and outdoor recreation."
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.
