NY Tracks Awarded Extended VLT Hours
New York racetrack gaming facilities, most of which have been facing slumping financial numbers this year, will be able to stay open later into the early morning and be authorized to offer more free play.
New York racetrack gaming facilities, most of which have been facing slumping financial numbers this year, will be able to stay open later into the early morning and be authorized to offer more free play.
First passed as a temporary surcharge in 2007, legislation has been signed into law again authorizing the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association to receive 2% of purse proceeds at New York Racing Association tracks.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan to create gambling competition for racetrack-based casinos was a topic of an hour-long, closed-door meeting June 18 with legislative leaders trying to end the 2013 legislative session.
Sen. John Bonacic, chairman of the New York Senate Racing, Gaming, and Wagering Committee, introduced a measure May 23 to ban casinos on Long Island and New York City, except the borough of Queens.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there is a big enough appetite for gambling in New York to permit the state to expand casino operations while protecting the interests of existing racetrack-based casinos.
Several of New York's racetrack gaming facilities would be first in line for full-scale casinos under legislation being finalized by Senate Republicans in the state legislature.

A New York lawmaker said Sept. 13 he will introduce legislation banning use of "performance-enhancing drugs" such as the anti-bleeding medication furosemide, or Salix.
Racetracks across New York Sept. 7 will unveil a plan to amend the state constitution to permit them to offer a complete array of casino gambling as part of a proposal they say will raise revenue for the state and industry.

The New York City Off-Track Betting Corp., facing a shutdown later in the day, was given a four-day reprieve Dec. 3 when the state Senate is due back to consider passage of a bankruptcy reorganization plan
New York Gov. David Paterson is turning up the heat on legislative leaders, prodding them to make a quick decision on the new operator to run the Aqueduct video lottery terminal casino.
An effort to bail out New York City Off-Track Betting Corp. collapsed April 14, leaving uncertainty over whether the betting giant will have to close its doors the weekend of April 17.
New York Gov. David Paterson is pushing a plan with legislative leaders to re-bid the Aqueduct casino project, a proposal that could push off a final decision until the end of the year.
New York lawmakers have given approval to move the state's equine drug-testing laboratory from Cornell University to Morrisville State College. The Senate and Assembly both approved the move March 1.

A New York horsemen's group will continue to get additional purse money to fund its operations, including health benefits for backstretch workers at New York Racing Association tracks, under final passage of legislation July 16 by the state Senate.
Having failed to get a law approved permitting racetrack casinos to offer electronic table games, New York Gov. David Paterson's Lottery Division is moving ahead with plans for the new gambling devices at the state's eight racetrack-based casinos. But a lawyer who has sued the state over past gambling expansions said the Paterson administration may be playing with legal fire.
A new top racing industry regulator is poised to be confirmed by New York lawmakers Aug. 8 when the state Senate returns for a one-day session.
The New York Racing Association has been granted another temporary extension to continue operating during most of the Saratoga meet while it negotiates a final deal with the state for a 25-year franchise.

With closed-door talks failing to produce a deal on a new Thoroughbred franchise in New York, state officials have begun discussing getting the framework of a deal in place before a Dec. 31 deadline with passage of an agreement by the legislature in early January.
A new state corporation would be created to select new operators of New York's three-track Thoroughbred racing franchise under a plan by the Republican-led state Senate.
Seven entities have expressed interest in running a future video lottery terminal casino at Aqueduct, including several Indian-owned gambling companies, the Spitzer administration said Oct. 15.
People who live near Belmont Park got a chance to voice their opinions about the franchise to operate Thoroughbred racing at three tracks in New York.
Issues related to Belmont Park and the surrounding community will be the focus of the next New York Senate hearing on the franchise to operate the three-track Thoroughbred racing franchise.
The Spitzer administration has defended its recommendation of the New York Racing Association to run the state's Thoroughbred racing franchise.
The New York Senate Standing Committee on Racing, Gaming, and Wagering will hold the first of three public hearings on the future of the Thoroughbred racing franchise in the state Sept. 27.
With the deadline ticking before New York's Thoroughbred racing franchise expires, the state Senate has announced three public hearings to consider the future of the industry in New York.
The franchise to operate Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga will be front and center Sept. 12 during a meeting of the New York Senate Committee on Racing, Gaming, and Wagering.
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has formally recommended the New York Racing Association continue to operate Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga racetracks while a separate operator for future casino developments at Aqueduct and possibly Belmont would be tapped down the road.
The New York Senate Committee on Racing, Gaming, and Wagering will hold a meeting Sept. 12 to review Gov. Eliot Spitzer's anticipated recommendation regarding the franchise to operate Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga.
A measure in New York to increase the amount of money Thoroughbred owners pay from purses to the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association has gained legislative approval and now goes to Gov. Eliot Spitzer for his consideration.
Legislation passed by the New York Senate would increase for one year funding the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association receives from purses.
A new report by the New York Senate Committee on Racing, Gaming, and Wagering lists the top 10 problems in horse racing in the state and solutions for them.
The chairman of the state panel overseeing the bidding process for New York's Thoroughbred racing franchise dismissed growing speculation that the complex task of awarding a new franchise holder won't begin in earnest until next year.
A deal to provide a $20-million bailout to the New York Racing Association received Senate approval March 1 and heads to Gov. George Pataki for his signature.
Horsemen and breeders have turned to New York legislators to resolve a dispute over video lottery terminal revenue-sharing arrangements with racetracks.
The New York legislature has given final approval to a measure to increase the share of video lottery terminal revenue for racetracks, as well as jump-start the long-stalled VLT casinos at Aqueduct and Yonkers Raceway.

It's always exciting to have my parents come down to visit, but this time around it was a VERY important trip specifically for my mommy. I requested that she come down so we can go find a beautiful dress for her to wear to my wedding…. after all she IS the mother of the bride…..
So I took her on a little shopping spree at South Coast Plaza. and of course I had to pick myself up these Sandro sneakers that i've been eyeing for quite some time. Feelin' fresh to death in my sneaks next to Mama lim
First stop was at Tadashi Shoji. The first dress she tried on was glamorous and fun! We loved the delicate neckline, but I was not a fan of the big bow in front nor the sparkle & sequins ( you cant really see it in the pictures). Regardless it was a beautiful dress and mommy loved it!
This was the second dress she tried on. This dress is more muted, conservative & classic than the previous one. It's elegant & classic whereas the previous one is more glamorous & fun! For some reason this dress really moved me…. and I think mama Lim loves the dress too!! {and yes, she was doing her Happy dance in the middle of the store!}Finding the perfect dress is certainly not the easiest thing to do , but it's all worth it at the end. Seeing my mommy's face light up after finding the PERFECT dress reminded me why I do what I do…. and that is to make women feel beautiful & confident. And of course being able to give back to my parents for all they have done for me by simply spoiling my mommy for the day really put a smile on my face over the weekend!
We actually ended up buying both of the dresses beacuse we couldn't choose between the two!So i'm going to leave it up to you guys to help Mama Lim!
Should Mama Lim wear the glamorous dress or the classic dress?
Thanks for your help guys! My mama and I really appreciate it!

Cinnamon Apple Butter
Photo: psfreeman
This delicious cinnamon apple butter will make your house smell amazing. It's also made without any added sugars."You can use any apples you'd like, but try to pick a sweeter variety such as Macintosh or Jonathan—Granny Smith apples don't work quite as well in this recipe due to their acidity," says Alejandra Ramos of Always Order Dessert. "You can also play around with the juice for slightly different flavors—try using grape, pomegranate, or pear juice (avoid citrus juices)."
Yield: 16 servings ( Serving Size: 4 tablespoons )
Community Recipe from
Recipe Time
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
- 8 Macintosh apples, unpeeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon(s) lemon juice
- 3 cup(s) apple cider or apple juice (preferably no sugar added)
- In the base of the slow cooker, add apples followed by spices, lemon juice, and apple juice. Cider should just cover apples, but they shouldn't be swimming in it. Add more if needed. Set the slow cooker to low for 12 to 15 hours (overnight is perfect). Once apples have softened, darkened, and liquid has reduced, use a standard or immersion blender (or a food mill) to process until smooth. If apple butter is still a bit wet after the end of cooking time (due to the size of apples or the range of your slow cooker), transfer apple butter to a large pot and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until liquid has reduced and apple butter has thickened (be careful because mixture will splatter). Let apple butter cool completely before pouring into a glass jar or air-tight container. This will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 weeks.

Graves, Michael
Graves, Michael
biographical name(born July 9, 1934, Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.) U.S. architect and designer. He studied at Harvard University and in 1962 began a long teaching career at Princeton University while designing private houses in the abstract and austere style of orthodox Modernism. In the late 1970s he rejected Modernist expression and began seeking a larger, postmodernist vocabulary. The hulking masses of the Portland Building in Portland, Ore. (1980), and the Humana Building in Louisville, Ky. (1982), display his highly personal, Cubist rendering of such Classical elements as colonnades and loggias. Though considered somewhat awkward, these and his later buildings (e.g., Indianapolis Art Center, 1996) have been acclaimed for their ironic interpretation of traditional forms. Among his later projects were the restoration of the Washington Monument (2000) and the creation of a line of household items, including kitchenware and furniture, for the discount retailer Target.

Already tons of reviews so I don't need to reiterate what has already been said. Definitely one of the most pigmented "black" black eye shadows out there. Smooth and easy to work with but use a light hand! If you're in need of a black, this is your baby.

I really love gel liner, but it tends to smudge on me if I don't set it with a black eyeshadow. I have matte black shadows in palettes, but I wanted a single eyeshadow to take with me in my makeup bag. I finally found the NYX Black shadow at some random Korean store, so I got it. It's so pigmented and dark, just like my Urban Decay shadow in Creep. For only a few dollars, it's just as good as my higher end black eyeshadows, so I would definitely recommend!

When I realized ALL my black e/s were sparkly, I ran across this at ULTA and am in love. I had been checking out MAC black shadows but this is exactly what I was looking for. NYX single shadows rarely fail to impress.

I must have gotten a dud. There's no explanation for why this product has 4.6 when the product I received swatched a charcoal gray that I couldn't build up to black. I was hoping this would be a great replacement for Mac Carbon, but it is not. Even weirder is the fact that mine had some sparkles. My Sonia Kashuk black shadow is far, far superior to this mess. Immediate return.

This is the best black eyeshadow I have tried so far. It is truly matte and super pigmented. It makes my eyeliner last longer and doesn't smudge at all. Packaging is cute and it is dirty cheap! A true bargain.

I have this product and use it frequently to deepen color in my creases (going through a smoky eye phase). It is well-priced for what it does, and I find with a primer it lasts a long time without creasing or fading from my allergic eyes (they water often).
I am not sure what the color of a person's skin has to do with their handling of color fallout (the review below mine), but I find the fallout with this product to be minimal, as it is not as powdery as others (NYX glittery shadows have more fallout but still tolerable). With any dark, matte color one will have to watch out for that and do their makeup accordingly and carefully. I would repurchase and have repurchased.

Black is a completely matte black. It has a bit of fallout, but that's fine. I'm not in love with the packaging. Like, it's just, meh. Boring and a bit bulky. The shadow is okay. It smears when I try to use it to set eyeliner though. Even if I use UDPP. But UDPP didn't work so great for me anyways. It's nice and pigmented, but it smears around my eyes. It's probably just because of my monolids, but I don't like my shadows to smear to the bottom of my eyes. If you're a white or negro you might like this, but it just doesn't work the best for me. I'll continue to use it, and then go on a hunt for something better.

I have read some of the posts and find them informative. I found for example the fruit should be chopped up. Few years back someone in my family juiced the crabs, didn't use any yeast, wanted natural yeast to start fermentation. It had lovely colour and not much else. I thought I could turn it into vinegar and put mother in it. It didn't work. So now I would like to do it myself and go about it in proper fashion. What about the apples on the ground, are they only good for compost. The crab apples I have are quite tart would addition of honey or sugar help in fermentation. There is also quite a lot of pears available which I can use for wine. On the subject of vinegar does the juice have to ferment before it turns into vinegar or could juice alone be used for that purpose? I know this is not where you want to discuss wine turning into vinegar. |

I have this link bookmarked with the hopes I can find some crab apples this year to make some wine myself. Hopefully this will help you.. Lots of luck.. |

Clayton News Daily
After a 19-point loss in its last game to Region 4-AAAA leader Forest Park, Dutchtown coach Angela Williams challenged her team to play with more heart and passion in their next game.
Mission accomplished. The Bulldogs played a near flawless game in setting the tempo early as they cruised to a 66-47 win over host Jonesboro, despite missing one of its key starters. Dutchtown was without Alyssa Strickland, who was in street clothes after sustaining an ankle injury in the Forest Park game on Tuesday. In her place, reserve Aisha Atwater stepped into the lineup. Strickland's twin, Brittney, provided most of the offensive firepower with a game-high 23 points. Abria Trice and Atwater each finished with 16 points. "I made a challenge to my girls," Williams said. "I thought they stepped up to the challenge and hustled. We have a lot of athletes on our team, and when you challenge an athlete's heart, they usually respond." And the Bulldogs did in a big way. Dutchtown jumped to a 16-4 lead early in the fourth quarter and was never really challenged the rest of the way. Jonesboro, which suffered its first loss in five games, led 3-2 at the beginning, but the Bulldogs would they take over. Brittney dedicated the game to her sister by wearing her No. 22 jersey. The two will attend Alabama A&M this fall on basketball scholarships. "We wanted to send a message," Brittney Strickland said. "We knew we had a problem with our defense against Forest Park, and we wanted to correct that. We had to come out strong after coach challenged us in practice." The Bulldogs defense seemed much improved as they held a 30-13 lead at the intermission. Jonesboro was held to only seven points in the second quarter. During the second quarter, the Cardinals went nearly five minutes without a score. A free throw by Kayla Dowdell with 3:16 remaining in the quarter snapped a cold streak by the Cardinals, who were trailing 27-9 at that point. A lay-up by Dowdell with three seconds remaining before the half was the only field goal the Cardinals could muster. "We emphasis defense and setting the tone early, but it was Dutchtown that did it tonight," Jonesboro coach Michael House said. "We got behind early and played catch-up the majority of the game. We got to be the team that is first knocking the other in the mouth. Turnovers and rebounds really killed us." Jonesboro had 18 turnovers that contributed to a lot of the Bulldogs' scoring. With the win, Dutchtown improved to 12-2 overall and 7-1 in the region as they trail leader Forest Park. Jonesboro, the defending region champion and semifinalist from last season, is 7-8 and 4-4. Jonesboro players said they could tell that Dutchtown was on a mission. "I think they had sometime to prove," Jonesboro senior center Jasmine Mitchell said. "We are going to keep at it. This season is not lost year." Williams said she was pleased at how Atwater was able to step into the lineup and contribute. It was only the second start of the season for the junior, who is usually the first sub off the bench. "She give us exactly what we wanted," Williams said. "Aisha played a huge role for us," Brittney Strickland said. "I'm extremely proud of her on both the defensive and offensive end of the floor. She did everything we asked of her." Dutchtown players called Tuesday's 74-55 lost to Forest Park an eye-opener that has given them motivation for the rest of the season. The Bulldogs had won six straight games before the Forest Park loss. "I think we kind of needed that," Strickland said. "I think we had sort of gotten complacent." Williams agreed. "I hate that it takes a loss for them to get it into fifth or sixth gear," she said. "Sometimes it takes some bumps and bruises to get their attention."More like this story

They called to let me know there was a problem. I resubmited the number and recieved my parts with out delay. I appreciate the extra security and the customer service. I reccomend Parts Geek to many of my friends.
Parts were what was expected, order arrived next day, great service.

zynjacku is JACK application and thus uses JACK MIDI. Unfortunately JACK
MIDI appeared in version 0.102.20.
No idea what is right way to handle this on debian system. I'd first try
to make new JACK package that satisfies app dependencies (is it
possible?). If this fails, I'd try to "force remove" system package
without autoremoving dependant apps, eighter by some smart package
manager option or by installing from source over packaged version. I
remember there were recent discussion about jack/debian problems in
jack mailing list (or maybe lad or lau?) that may give you more
hints. My impresion is that debian/jack ppl don't work well togheter
("why: is another question). Unfortunately debian linux audio users are
sufferening from it. IMO, given the debian popularity this is major
issue and both parties should express their vision to problem. Obviously
"don't use debian/jack" statements are not helpful to users. 0.102.20 is
5 months old and it is shame that debian unstable has not packaged
it. On other hand JACK ppl should give users sane and working solution
to debian problem. I know strictly speaking this is packager's job but
that job is obviously not that popular that I'd want it to be. So
upstream ppl should be more tolerant to user problems.
If you choose to use 0.102.20 (latest released) instead of SVN version,
you will need to uncomment line 44 in engine.c because there is minor
unreleased JACK MIDI API change that is not released yet.
Having audio and MIDI perfectly synchronized is a must in my
vision. There is no point of using JACK if you use ALSA too. If for some
reason ALSA MIDI must be used, then ALSA audio API should be used
too. Current domiating "ALSA MIDI/JACK audio" approach is just not
coherent, does not give good results (sync) and forces implementing
shits in code instead of doing something more creative.
> Also I got this from slv2:
No idea what exactly slv2 configure script checks. Maybe it checks for
"suitable" version. That apart I see no need to check for JACK at
all. After all it should be usable for JACK-less hosts too. Dave?

Husband bought this plant couple month ago, it was pretty and stuff. Then all the flowers fell off and the leaves also. The plant is being watered twice per week. I feel sad for it, but it seems to be doing really badly. What can be done? |

i think of it as a desert plant ... and i am not saying it is.. i am saying its my memory trick for how to water it .... the stain at the bottom of what i PRESUME is a red pot.. indicates too much water ... you water.. when a plant needs water.. not by the calender.. insert finger and water when near dry or dry ... on such a small pot.. you can also do it by weight .... i would not waste time nor effort on what is left of yours.. probably root rot... unpot it.. and see if there are any viable white roots there ... i would sneak out and get another.. before hubby notices.. lol ... ken ps: if there is a plastic pot inside of a two tone ceramic pot... then drainage is still probably the issue.. along with over watering .... |
Toss it. I suspect that it might be sitting in water inside that cache pot....maybe not, but it surely does look past any hope of recovery. Kalanchoe need a porous soil and careful water management. They thrive in a very bright location and should be allowed to nearly dry out in the winter. Did you check the status of the potting medium before each of those twice weekly waterings? The good thing is that these plants are cheap and ubiquitous. Frankly, they are on the list of 'disposable' plants.....induced to their full glory by special lighting and chemical growth hormone sprays. Once we bring them home, they will outgrow their 'treatments ' and few people care to mess with them as they lose their flowers and compact growth. You can learn to keep kalanchoe attractive and even bring it to flower again, though. It takes some knowledge of how to balance light, water, temperature, and fertiizer but it can be done. The good thing about kalanchoe is that, unlike seasonal plants such as poinsettias (also manipulated with lighting and growth regulators) , they aren't associated with any particular holiday. You should be able to find a replacement at anytime. P.S. If interested in learning about your Kalanchoe, visit the Houseplant Forum. |

Yes, It was a mistake to overwater this plant. Even though the top of the soil was dry to the touch, the soil inside the pot was sensibly wet. The roots of the plant seem to be strong. I took it out of the soil and plan to replant, or maybe let it dry a bit. I understand, it is a far reach, but I am going for it. I need to learn to give love to this plant instead of demanding of it to grow the way I want it to. |
The roots are dark and shortened. Key characteristics of root rot. Save yourself some grief. Start over with a fresh plant, same or different kind. |
Kalanchoe does quite well outside in pots in summer. No-care. In winter (their normal bloom time) they'll need adequate light in days, and to induce bloom, no light at night. Just like a poinsettia. No, you do not need to treat them with growth regulators, other than your fingers when they need a pinch to keep them branching and stubby. They get gangly from low light in daylight hours. The same can be said for poinsettias, my signature crop for many, many years. I stopped lighting poinsettias when the short response/longer night length varieties started to become mainstream. The lights were used to essentially hold them back from blooming too soon, not the other way around. Neither did I black-cloth them. They and kalanchoe will bloom quite naturally in their normal bloom seasons under natural conditions. That means away from artificial light during long nights. That does not mean to stuff them in a closet, but put them in an unused room with a high natural light level so their sequences are not interrupted by artificial light. Once the flower buds are initiated, they will continue to bloom, or the bracts on points to colour up. You would have better luck from propagating that plant from a tip cutting than those roots. But then again, you're not out anything to try. |

Here's a K. blossfeldiana that was blooming when I got it in March. Just starting to bloom again. Seems to be a very carefree plant to me, if you have a spot near a sunny window (when that elusive ball of fire isn't blocked by CLOUDS!) I put it outside for summer too, usually out in full sun, but had to move it under the porch for 2 months of rain although it doesn't seem to appreciate drying completely like a jade or some other Kalanchoes. Being constantly wet for 2 months could kill about any plant. I don't know enough about them to predict anything from what's left of yours at the roots, but hope you end up with a pretty plant eventually, whether that one can recover or it's a new one. The green parts of the stems from the 1st pic would be the part I would try propagating. |

Beeking and Tropic sent me some swapnotes saying they're banned. Beeking seems to think it's a glitch, and I kind of think that might be it too. I know earlier today IGN wouldn't even load for me...
Ign gave me a lot of grief logging in this morning. It was also a pain to post in the morning. Part of it was a slow school computer, but the logging in problem was definitely more than normal.
I don't like Likes either, what is this, Facebook? But I do find it funny that 4 people liked my post about spamming.. It wasn't even really meant as a joke.. Well, it was sort of serious, but you know, if people started freaking out or something.. Yeah. It also makes me laugh at the fact that someone liked this post just now, seeing as I said I dislike the like system... Hey, Mehdi, I don't remember you from the old boards...
It's just a fun thing to play with on the new boards. And every post is getting liked in an attempt to get the like trophies.
There's a reason I'm not a fan of the testi. If the internet's asylum is 4chan, than ign's asylum is the testi. It seems like way too many dirty minded posts on the testi. Some mean posts too.
Eh, teh Vesti isn't really full of 'eBullies' (Which I hate that term, sense it shows how little the media actually knows about the interent) as it is a bunch of teens going 'oh looks I'm a big tough internet guy with a p**** the size of east Texas!'. I only post there when I want to encrease my post count, and I don't pay much mind to the people who post there.
There is some decent discussion. Once you ignore the rest of the redundant threads. So someone want to broach a new topic? What games is everyone playing right now. I'm currently doing the Professor Layton series and am almost done with the Unwound Future.
So it's telling me that I have the incorrect password for all my accounts I've made. Which means I've just started a new one. This time, using my D1P name... Looks like Mehdster's really been active lately.
I guess I have been active. I think I've gained about 200/300 posts in a week or so. As for login in trouble there have been glitches. Go to this thread. http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/fix-02-17-12-status-of-multiple-login-issues.250000345/page-4 Tell the engineer your specific problem and what your previous username was. He should have it fixed fairly quickly. So who are you?
I was wrong on my post guess. Since last friday I've gotten over 600 posts. Now I just need to keep this up. Nice to see some pms getting moved. I joined in 2010, so I'll still lose quite a few pms, but at least some will stay.
When they transfer them as conversations it would be interesting if any replies you sent are all put in on convo or if each pm is split up. That and if you could continue a convo using one of your old pms.
It would make old pms much easier to go through. So new topic, since we're kind of exhausting this topic?
Uh.....Brawl? I don't really have anything to discuss about. Not to mention, the tournament thing went downhill after the first day.
Maybe you should visit it again. It's one of my favorite sites and is pretty easy to go on a wiki binge there.. Any other topics ideas? If anyone else is lurking, then right now is a good time to make a somewhat random post.
You shouldn't have hid that. I've heard of the Touhou series mutliple times before. Although, I didn't know there was a game in it that wasn't a shoot em up. Some of the levels shown on youtube look like bullet hell.
There were 3 fighting games, 7.5, 10.5 and 12.3. But I hid revealing it at first because I thought no-one would know it. EDIT: Don't get me started on the normal levels...but the music is awesome.
Touhou has been often mentioned in conjunction with anime, so I would naturally know it. Plus it's mentioned several times on tvtropes. And here's the one video I was thinking of.
Yeah, know what your talking about. Even though I never made it to an extra stage (Normally died on Stage 4 in EoSD, which out of the 4 games I have, only played that besides IMaP), now I feel that I don't want to try clearing those stages.
What's more amazing is he was never hit a single time or used a single bomb. That video is still a fun one to watch.
Here's another classic youtube video. Doesn't have the awesome background music, but is a nice testament to SM64.
It also makes the many hours spent and some difficulty I had in it look bad. But 4 minutes to beat a game of that length is simply incredible.
I've been considering closing my dA account. Not much real reason as to why I still have it open, to be honest... Then again I have been feeling rather down about the internet in general lately...
I've been thinking about it for sometime now... I rarely ever get comments besides the million 'thanks for teh favs' from people using that as an excuse to advertise their accounts. If it weren't for the fact that I've paid for a membership there, I probably would have already closed it...
I don't know... I think it's the fact that I'm close to graduating school soon. I have no idea what I want to do for a carrer, so I don't know what I should major in collage, or if I'm even going to be able to go to collage... It's just been stressful as of late, if you couldn't guess. I just wish I could have some more time to figure out everything... Then their's the fact that a lot of nostalgia from my childhood/early teens seems to be popping up everywhere. It's really making me miss being a kid, and making me wish that I could go back to those days... It's making me feel old... ... Is it possible to go through a mid-life crisis when your 'technically' still in your teens?
Nah, I don't care, I really don't. I'm not going to tell you who I am, but I'm relatively sure you can guess. At any rate...I've told them before and nothing has come of it - so: oh, well.

The food won't stop! We've asked people to, but they won't, despite our insistence. So we accept their generosity. We share. We give some away…
…and I make sure I keep listening to what MY body wants. An Apple and Diet Mountain Dew? That looks _____.
Well, that's what I wanted for breakfast!
My cousins Hash and Hannah accompanied me to nearby Shangri-la for a late afternoon lunch/dinner – even with all the meals coming in, it feels good to get out of the hospital, to make my own decisions.
I know I don't want this…
…but a turkey sandwich sounded good!
Toasted whole wheat with mayo and tomato and lettuce…
…plus a little avocado my Aunt brought!
Split with my mom…
…also tried some of the cookie Hannah bought at the deli…
…with more of the ones from Washington D.C. too:
After 12 days, we FINALLY felt relaxed enough tonight to leave my Dad in the ICU without someone waiting outside just in case. My mom and I both listened to our bodies and ate when we got hungry, around 9:30pm.
One of my aunts made us tofu and meatballs with cabbage – I enjoyed it with a toasted slice of my Godmother's Mantou.
For dessert, the last piece of Choco Leibniz…
…with a buncha grapes.
I've already addressed what I have to say about mean comments. But I just wanted to say this about nice ones – I really DO appreciate every single constructive one that comes through on ALL my various social media sites. Sometimes I say thanks, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I address it personally via email. But the decision to do so, or not, is mine. And since – uh, my father's been in the hospital the last 12 days – I'm a little too tired – physically and emotionally – to even think straight when it comes to paying my credit card bill, let alone "like" a comment or @ reply someone on twitter.
Even if I wasn't crazy dealing with the most horrific thing that has ever happened to me, it wouldn't make me a bad person if I didn't say "thank you" to every nice thing that was ever done for me. I know I appreciate them and try to pay it forward, not back. I know who I am. I know I am grateful.
I'm only a human being. Yesterday I felt like a superhero. Today I feel like I've been beat up. This is normal.
As I watch life/death being celebrated/mourned around me the last 2 weeks, I've learned a few things, the #1 being you must figure out what's best for you NOW. And take care of yourself first. And not care about the future, or what others may think. Even your most loved ones.
Who taught me this? My Dad. Today, I marched straight into his ICU Room after reading yet another not-so-nice comment and focused on telling him some good news.
I am the National Eating Disorder Association's newest Ambassador. I remember looking at this site when I first was trying to get help, seeing that peeps like Paula Abdul and Jamie-Lynn Sigler were representing, and feeling inspired. I picked up the phone, and found the specialist who helped me through years of struggle.
And here I am today, surrounded by people telling me when and what to eat (eat, EAT!!!) during the most stressful time in my life. I used to be so anxious about a relapse, but not anymore. I am not getting angry or frustrated or upset or ungrateful. I am just listening to myself, and treating myself excellently, because I know who I am and what I need.
Now I will volunteer my time to give back to others struggling with eating disorders on a larger scale than I already do with Thick Dumpling Skin and this blog. And though the gifts and gratitudes I've received over the years are wonderful, they are never ever necessary or expected. I know you guys know why I do this; it's not to be idolized or thanked.
I've watched my father be stronger than ever recently. He continually shows me anything is possible if you believe in your own inner strength. If someone calls you a "snob" or "selfish" or "asshole" or "bitch" or "fat" or "emaciated" or "stupid" or WHATEVER….even someone who is supposed to know/love you – remind yourself who YOU really are.
And if you're still figuring out who that is, that's okay too. We all are.

Developing Computational Models for Predicting Diagnoses of Depression.
2013 AMIA Clinical Research Informatics Summit (CRI). Poster.
For my honors thesis, under Professors Nigam Shah and Jeffrey Ullman, I built machine learning models
for predicting a diagosis of depression in patients, based on their electronic medical records. Depression is often
under-diagnosed, so my goal was to produce
a screening tool for identifying high-risk patients for follow-up. I worked
with a dataset of over 10,000 depression patients and 60,000 non-depression patients from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation.
My most effective model, based on LASSO, was able to predict a future diagnosis of depression up to a year in advance,
with an AUC of 0.70 to 0.80.
My colleagues and I also investigated the potential of personalizing treatment for depression, through not only developing models for predicting diagnoses of depression, but also building models for predicting baseline severity (before treatment) and identifying patient characteristics that predict differential treatment response (medication vs. psychotherapy). We recently submitted a paper on our results.
June 2012 to November 2012
Suen C & Huang S & Eksombatchai P (Joint), Sosic R, Leskovec J.
NIFTY: A System for Large Scale Information Flow Tracking and Clustering.
Submitted to the 2013 International World Wide Web Conference (WWW).
I worked with Caroline Suen and Pong Eksombatchai, under Rok Sosic and Professor Jure Leskovec,
on developing a system for tracking quote popularity in news articles and blog posts. Our final product processed a
20-terabyte dataset of over six billion news articles and blog posts, spanning the last four years.
You can take a look at the results here!
Caroline, Pong, and I made design decisions and developed the underlying data structures together. My role in this project included working together with Caroline on implementing the clustering step, in which quotes are clustered together if they are likely to have been derived from the same source quote. I also created heuristics to filter out non-quotes – quoted phrases that were movie, TV show, or song titles rather than a phrase spoken by someone. In addition, I developed the first iteration of the visualization, and linked the back-end output to the visualization.

Database programs are not only useful for storing and organizing student information, but they can also be useful tools in the classroom. The structure of a database can help students organize information. Teachers can also use the records and fields in a database to present activities that use a repetitive structure. I have found a database program called FileMaker Pro especially useful because it allows you to easily include sound in your database. FileMaker Pro is licensed for use in Ontario Schools by the Ontario Ministry of Education. It is also cross- platform, which means is it possible to use the same FileMaker Pro database on both Macintosh and Windows computers. LITERACY OBJECTIVE
INTRODUCTION AND PREPARATIONHere are the instructions for creating a simple FileMaker Pro database where students can store a list of spelling or vocabulary words. Once the words are stored, students can use the database to practise reading and spelling these words.
PROCEDUREStudents can use this database on an ongoing basis to record spelling or vocabulary words. The only trick to this is that they must add a new record for each new word they want to enter. To do this they must choose New Record in the Mode menu or use the keyboard shortcut found beside the words "New Record". Alternatively, the teacher could add several new blank records when they create the database. ADAPTATIONS / EXTENSIONSIf you are adventurous, you could go farther and create other layouts to help students practice reading and spelling these words. A Spelling Quiz layout could include the Speech field and the Spelling Answer field. The students could ask the database to "Find" the words with Status = Practise and then go to the Spelling Quiz layout. Here they would listen to the Speech field and type the word they hear in the Spelling Answer field. To help them check their work you could create a Spelling Quiz Answer layout that would contain the Speech field, the Spelling Answer field, the Word field (where the word is spelled correctly) and the Status field. If they spelled the word correctly they could then change the Status to "Mastered". Similarly, a Reading Test layout could include the Speech field and the Reading Answer field. The trick here is that the Reading Answer field would be formatted to display a pop-up list of all of the words in the Word field. The student would have to listen to the Speech field and choose the matching word from the pop-up list. Here are some other examples of activities created in Filemaker Pro: |

Re: Need Opinion: Chart plotter, north up or course up?
electronics (raymarine) have course up, heads up, and north up. At nav station have north up to match paper. Under dodger and at helm have head up to match radar. Agree with using split screen when running radar. Easier to see targets and match contour of land masses when making landfall. My 2 cents.
p.s.- did this for crew. seems to make for less confusion. until I know crew has basics of chapman's don't even let them sit at the nav station or put a pencil on my charts. So north no issue there but to be honest flip back and forth N up/head up even at nav station as auto sych function may screw up if radar functioning.

Decent course- can be a little confusing as signage/markings are inconsistent. Once you figure out where the tee and holes are, it plays pretty well.

Roasted Eggplant and Feta Dip
From EatingWell.com
This roasted eggplant and feta dip gets a kick from a fresh chile pepper and cayenne pepper. There are countless variations on this classic meze (appetizer) in Greece. Out-of-season eggplant or eggplant that has been heavily watered often has an abundance of seeds, which make the vegetable bitter. Be sure to taste the dip before you serve it; if its a touch bitter, you can remedy that with a little sugar. Serve with toasted pita crisps or as a sandwich spread.

- 1 medium eggplant, (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
- 1/4 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup(s) crumbled feta cheese, preferably Greek
- 1/2 cup(s) finely chopped red onion
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small chile pepper, such as jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon(s) finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- sugar, (optional)
- Position oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler.
- Line a baking pan with foil. Place eggplant in the pan and poke a few holes all over it to vent steam. Broil the eggplant, turning with tongs every 5 minutes, until the skin is charred and a knife inserted into the dense flesh near the stem goes in easily, 14 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.
- Put lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scrape the flesh into the bowl, tossing with the lemon juice to help prevent discoloring. Add oil and stir with a fork until the oil is absorbed. (It should be a little chunky.) Stir in feta, onion, bell pepper, chile pepper (if using), basil, parsley, cayenne and salt. Taste and add sugar if needed.

The principle of a minimum wage comes with an inherent debate: Some argue that it contributes to an increased unemployment rate; others say that the minimum wage is crucial in keeping poverty levels low. It's a debate that's been going on since the establishment of a federal minimum wage in the 1930s, but it has become even more relevant during these difficult economic times.
Many economists now argue that eliminating the minimum wage would allow cash-strapped companies to create more jobs. While this side of the argument does raise logical points, an article by The New York Times highlighted a recent study that makes a strong case for the opposite.
Bing: Which states have the highest minimum wage
The study, called "Minimum Wage Effects Across State Borders: Estimates Using Contiguous Counties" not only found that the minimum wage has virtually no effect on employment levels of low-wage jobs, but that it also successfully increases the standard of living for workers in low-paying industries like food service and retail.
The research was conducted by economists at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of California at Berkeley, who analyzed 16 years of employment data for low-wage workers. Full results of the study can be read here, or watched in a simplified, video version here.
Though the study presents interesting information, it's especially compelling given the recent midterm elections, which could have an impact on both the minimum wage and employment. Here are a few things to keep in mind about the minimum wage:
- Historically, the Democratic Party has proposed increases to the minimum wage, while the Republican Party has been in favor of capping or eliminating the minimum wage.
- According to the 2000 Census, there are more than 10 million minimum-wage workers in the U.S.
- In 2006, nearly half of surveyed economists said the minimum wage should be abolished. Only one-third said it should be increased.
- Washington state has the highest minimum wage, at $8.55, followed by Oregon, at $8.40.
- In January 2011, the minimum wage in San Francisco will be raised to $9.92. San Francisco also has one of the nation's highest costs of living.
- Five states in the U.S. have no minimum-wage requirement: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee.
- Working a job at the current federal minimum wage, $7.25, for 40 hours per week, all 52 weeks of the year produces an annual, pre-tax income of $15,080. If about one-third of that income is paid in taxes and benefits, net annual income becomes $10,556.
- In Oklahoma City, the major U.S. metropolitan area with the lowest average housing costs, one year of rent averages $8,676.
- The poverty line for a family of four is an annual income of $22,050.
What do you think about the minimum wage? Do you think it prevents poverty or increases unemployment? Let us know in the comments section, below.

How to Fight Cellulite
Thursday, October 23, 2008 | COLUMNS: Tips & How-Tos, Uncategorized
Cellulite is a cosmetic condition that affects an estimated 90 percent of post-adolescent women to some degree. Just flip through the pages of Us Weekly or People and you'll see that even supermodel-thin celebs are afflicted with this dreaded skin condition. Marked by dimpled, uneven skin in the lower limbs and abdomen, it is the result of a combination of factors that distort the skin's cellular substructure. While far from life-threatening, in a culture that prizes clear, smooth skin, it's a condition that can nevertheless carry a steep emotional burden.

Led By God
King Solomon said, "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that stays." All over the world, many people are going through season of testings, trying their best to find a way out of the trouble they are facing. Today, God wants to remind us that He is the way out. If there's one thing we need to focus on, it's our relationship with Him. He promised that when we seek Him first, everything that we need shall be added unto us.
[ The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." - Psalm 32:8 ]
The God of Opportunities
As children of God, our Heavenly Father may have given us different sets of talents or qualities, but He made sure to give all of us "equal opportunities" to be blessed by Him. How? By allowing each of us to come before His holy presence and hear directly from Him. God wants to remind us today that all direction and blessing will come from Him. He is just waiting for us to acknowledge our weaknesses and rest in His presence.
[ The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." -Psalm 32:8 ]
Plan To Succeed
A great man of God once said, "Many people have failed to recognize the answer to their prayer because they were looking for a miracle when God answered with a plan."
Our Father in heaven is a great planner, and as His children, He also wants us to be the same. He wants us to be good stewards of the time and resources He has given us. Now is the time to drop everything that is not essential in our lives so we can focus on doing the things that God has assigned us to do.
[ And the Lord answered me: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it."-Habakkuk 2:2 ]
God Will Give You Rest
As believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we take great comfort in knowing that our God loves us deeply that He will talk, direct, guide and teach us each and every day if we allow Him to. Through constant communication, we can grow a close relationship with our God and experience the unspeakable peace that only His presence can give. The kind of rest our soul needs. The rest that we can never find in this world.
[ The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." -Exodus 33:14 ]
A Disciple Is Someone Who Gives Up All Rights
If you want to accomplish something worthwhile in your life, ask yourself first, who is in authority in your life? When you go about your day, whose decision do you follow? Do you make life plans and decisions based on your personal emotions or according to the Word of God?
Most of us wake up and just want to make it through each day, but God has so much more in store for us. No matter where we are in life & no matter what's happening around us right now, if we decide to submit ourselves to God & make His WILL the top priority in our life, surely, He will WIN our battles for us. His Word will forever be our shield.
[ "And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O Lord have not forsaken those who seek You." -Psalm 9:10 ]
Love Never Fails
We all experience different battles in life. What should we do if someone is treating us badly? How can we be assured of victory? The Word of God says, if there's one thing in this world that will never fail, it is "love". Wherever we go, we find people who are hurting. Now is the time for us to live in such a way that people will see God's love and graciousness through us.
"If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." -1 Corinthians 13:2
The One Who Will Never Let You Down
Nothing is permanent in this world. Times change. People change. Some people may pull us down, but if we continue to place our hope in our unchangeable God, He will give us the strength to overcome each obstacle as it arises. Stopping regularly to recall God's promises of hope will restore our strength and renew our perspective.
"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken, says the LORD."-Isaiah 54:10
Reprogram Your Mind
Develop the habit of expecting good things to come your way and see what God can do in your life. Start believing things are going to change for the better, not because you deserve it, but simply because God loves you so much.
"The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, He saved me."-Psalm 116:5-6
All In The Mind
Make it your goal today to keep your focus on God. For in Him you will find peace, direction and hope. When you feel like your mind has wandered away from Him, make a conscious effort to fix your thoughts back to His love and promises. He will ever let go of your hand if you choose to follow Him.
"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You."-Isaiah 26:3
A Disciple is Someone Who Bears Much Fruit
Making disciples is not just about gathering & teaching. It is about being faithful to God's call to love the people around us. God wants us to love them enough to help bring them closer to Him.
The true essence of becoming a true follower of Christ is our willingness to grow in our relationship with Him so that we can in turn, share His goodness to others. Always remember that we are stewards of the gifts God has given us, and if we use it for His glory, we can expect a brighter tomorrow than what we are experiencing today.
[ "If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." -John 15:7-8 ]
