Zuma Launches A Lunch Deal, Now Open For Business All The Livelong Day
Categories: Delectable Deals, Restaurant News
Lesley Elliott |
Zuma's Japanese "hot pot." |
You'll start with Zuma's soup and salad -- white miso soup and mixed greens with a barley miso dressing. Then go simple with a selection of sashimi, or decide on kitchen mains such as branzino with pickled fennel and their Japanese rice hot pot with wild mushrooms (which arrives steamy and fragrant every time we've had it). Available Monday through Saturday from noon until 3 p.m., they will also set up a private room for up to 26 people. Just in case your boss wants to spring for a weekly meeting that truly gets you over hump day.
Also making news at Zuma is that they are officially open for business all day long.
Previously, the restaurant closed down to patrons between lunch and dinner service, but now, you can sit river-side on the terrace and drink those powerful Mai Tais whenever the mood for a pretty, expensive cocktail just can't be ignored. The bar and lounge will be serving "snacks" off the menu from 3 to 6 p.m., such as prawn and black cod dumplings (salty baccalo-ish bliss) and the crispy menu must-haves: rock shrimp, fried calamari, and spicy tofu.
If only it didn't cost as much to park there, as it does to eat there...sigh.

Quick P&G located along a Story County paved road. Don't attempt the cache from the highway, rather park on the side gravel road and attempt it from there. Nothing tricky here. TOTT may be necessary to retrieve the log.
The Twedt Farm here in Story County has been in operation since 1908 and at it's 100-year anniversary was awarded with a "century farm" status, given to those farms that have been operational non-stop for one-hundred years. The Twedt farm is now in its 105th year of operation. There are plenty of farms like these that dot our landscape all across the state, but I thought it would be nice to highlight at least one of them.

Tips & Tricks: How to Stay Matte this Summer » -
As the temperature increases outside, so does the amount of oil and sweat our bodies produce during the day. We've polled our b-glowing.com beauty experts to provide you with their top tips and tricks to control shine this season.
Adjust Your Face Wash:
If you are noticing an oilier complexion, we recommend changing up your skincare routine, starting with your daily wash. Creamier cleansers, formulated for hydration, are great for dryer winter months, but in the summertime switch to something more lightweight with oil-controlling ingredients. We recommend Erno Laszlo Oil-Control Cleansing Bar to balance your skin and keep oil at bay.
Don't Skimp on the Moisturizer:
Even if you are feeling oily, it's still important to moisturize after cleansing your face. Moisturizers act as a barrier between your pores and your makeup, and can also provide SPF protection and other skincare benefits like anti-aging treatment and, in this case, oil-control. Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel absorbs shine and controls excess oil and sweat throughout the day, without over-drying the skin. We love this as a primer for makeup. Great for men too!
Lighten Your Makeup Load:
In hotter temps, heavy foundation can melt into pores, increasing oil production and causing breakouts. In the summer season, reach for lightweight makeup formulas like tinted moisturizers or sunscreens. One of our favorites is Jouer Cosmetics Matte Moisture Tint. Available in multiple shades, this oil-free, water resistant, mattifying tinted moisturizer controls shine, and contains SPF 15 protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Touch-Up Wisely:
Tempted to touch-up? Beware! Piling on additional layers of powder not only looks cakey, but can contribute to even more oil production, and clogged pores. Before you reach for that compact, try a disposable blotting paper instead. One of our favorites is the Evening Aburatorigami Blotting Papers by Tatcha. These all-natural, charcoal-infused papers leave no residue on the skin, and won't disturb your makeup. With 40 sheets per pack, you can touch-up-and-trash, without spreading oil or bacteria around.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
Whimsical bright colors and modular 60s-style designs meld with Polynesian décor at this sexy, adult beach resort. It's the youngest—in both years and sensibility—of the InterContinental resorts in French Polynesia, with a casual approach to five-star luxury. It's not the St. Regis, but then thoughtful amenities like day rooms for tired travelers who arrive before check-in are often of more use than Italian marble. The first Thalasso Spa in the southern hemisphere draws guests for the day from other resorts and includes a wide selection of Algotherm treatments, including the Bora Bora Deep Blue Massage with desalinated, purified ocean water pumped in from offshore for the various pools. Scoring some eco points, this same icy-cold deep sea water is used to cool the two wishbone-shaped wings of the 80 overwater bungalows ("overwater apartments" would be a more apt description). The largest space is the living room, with access to your swim-out balcony. Through one set of doors is the bedroom with the bed facing a large window with a terrific view of the lagoon, and through another set of doors is the modest but sexy bathroom. The toilet is actually in the walk-in closet off the bedroom, which sounds odd, but it provides a nice bit of privacy. Another first in French Polynesia is the overwater chapel with a clear glass aisle to see the water below.
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
The strikingly contemporary InterContinental consists of 80 identical overwater villas, which extend into the warm lagoon like two claws, with the only differences being the views—of the lagoon, the beach, or Mount Otemanu. Floor-to-ceiling windows, Lucite ceiling fans, big tubs overlooking the water, and bathrooms with black slate floors reflect the clean modern aesthetic throughout, culminating with the Philippe Starck–inspired, all-white Bubbles bar. The atmosphere, too, is more South Beach than South Pacific, down to the stylishly clad reception staff and shirtless tattooed cabana boys by the infinity-edge pool. At the one-of-a-kind Deep Ocean Spa, the first thalassotherapy center in French Polynesia, you're given a pareu and flip-flops as an alternative to the staid robe and slippers. In a savvy environmental move, the resort pumps in cold seawater to feed the air-conditioning system and for use at the spa.

Shaving the Beard and the Moustache
Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadee (hafithahuAllah)
Source: http://ar.miraath.net/fatwah/5758
Translated by Raha ibn Donald Batts
Presented to you by Markaz Tawheed was-Sunnah in Durham, NC
This question has come via the web; it says: May Allaah treat you well; what is the ruling on shaving the chin; meaning, the beard; or shortening it, or lining it, may Allaah reward you with good?
Shaving the beard is not permissible. SHAVING IT IS HARAAM! The Prophet ﷺ says:
جُزُّوا الشَّوَارِبَ وَاعْفُوا اللِّحَى
"Trim the Moustache and grow the beard."
أَرْخُوا اللِّحَى
"Let the beards grow."
وَفِّرُوا اللِّحَى
"Let the beards grow fully."
خَالِفُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ
"Differ from the polytheists."
Hence, shaving the beards contains imitation of the polytheists. And the "polytheists" here refers to the people of the Book; the Jews and the Christians. This does not mean that if there are now individuals from them who grow their beards that we, in efforts to be different from them, shave our beards; no. The Prophet ﷺ has clarified the basis regarding which is the reason that this Hadeeth has come; and it is that these people would shave their beards. Likewise, the Persians would shave their beards; i.e. the people of Persia; and they would let their moustaches grow thick and lengthen them. So the Prophet ﷺ has commanded us with that. So when they let it grow then they have returned to the Fitrah and they have come to our path, which is the Fitrah. Na'am.
The point is that it is not permissible to shave the beard, which is referred to as shaving the chin. As for shortening it, then likewise, this is not permissible, while it is lighter than removing it completely. This is because to remove it completely is imitation of these people and it is, as well, an imitation of the women. This is because Allaah the Majestic and High has honored the men by placing this trait within them; which is the beard, and it indicates masculinity and manliness. So the one who removes it imitates the women, and we ask Allaah for security and safety.
So the peril of removing it is great and it is a great evil, and taking from it is prohibited, however, without doubt it is lighter than the former. For by way of the former, there does not remain any sign of manliness upon the face.
They have increased upon this today; they (even) shave their moustaches and their beards. We ask Allaah for security and safety. This is imitation of the disbelievers; the west. The west, this is known amongst them. The first amongst whom this was known, as is said, was French. Then it entered thereafter into the lands of the Muslims from the lands of Morocco and it came as well from the foreign lands and it entered by way of the lands of Rome into some of the Arab lands. So it came into the lands of Shaam and this occurred which has occurred in this later time. We ask Allaah for security and safety.
Removing the moustache along with the beard is greater and greater in terms of the crime. Because the Prophet ﷺ said:
جُزُّوا الشَّوَارِبَ
"Trim the moustaches."
He didn't say: Shave it. According to Imaam Maalik, shaving the moustache was mutilation; mutilating; the person is mutilating the creation of Allaah; and according to him a punishment is meted out for it. So how about today, wherein many people shave their moustache and their beard? They have become smooth faced and clean shaven; you cannot see in his face anything from manliness.
When he sees one who has a beard; one who is upon the Sunnah and upon the Fitrah which the Arabs were upon in their days of Jaahiliyah, you see him, when he sees you saying: "Yaa Dhiqn (O, the chin)." He mocks you; as if he is upon the correct path, whereas the issue is the other way around. Ay Na'am. For these, we ask Allaah for security and safety; we ask Allaah for security and safety. So it is not permissible for the Muslim to do this, O brother questioner.

Location: Tokyo, Japan
Project Objective: To promote a message of worldwide peace through graphic art and design installations.
Designers: Yuji Tokuda and Junya Ishikawa
Design Solution: Launched in 2005, Retired Weapons is a cross-media design collective working to promote peace through everything from web initiatives to cake decorating. Their signature pieces are highly graphic silhouettes of assault rifles and handguns whose barrels spout cheery, pink flowers. Rather than a quiet meditation, each Retired Weapons exhibition is (literally) an interactive party, anchored by a life-sized inflatable tank that the designers encourage kids to play on. Party-goers are encouraged to write messages of togetherness that are pinned up all around the exhibition, and "Seeds of Peace" are handed out to be planted at home. Outside of their exhibitions, Retired Weapons relies on participants to distribute their message through cellphone graphics, e-letters and word-of-mouth. The overall effect is refreshingly straightforward, happy and ego-free – fitting for the life of a retiree.

INGfertility has rolled out its Pre-Seed Personal Lubricant at all Duane Reade pharmacies in metropolitan New York and select Walgreens drug stores nationwide.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
SPOKANE, Wash. – INGfertility has rolled out its Pre-Seed Personal Lubricant at all Duane Reade pharmacies in metropolitan New York and select Walgreens drug stores nationwide.
The company said Monday that Pre-Seed's "fertility-friendly" formula matches the pH, osmolality (ion content) and viscosity (thickness) of a woman's fertile fluids. It's applied internally before intercourse to support an optimal environment for sperm.
According to INGfertility, medical studies have shown the damage to sperm that can be caused by most common lubricants
Pre-Seed is billed as the only lubricant that is "safe to use when trying to conceive," based on indicated uses. The company said Pre-Seed is also less irritating than leading lubricants.
"Many couples who are trying to conceive have increased incidence of vaginal dryness, due to the stress of 'having to have' intercourse during the woman's fertile time," explained G.D. Clifton, chief executive officer of INGfertility. "Pre-Seed offers a safe alternative for these couples. Having Pre-Seed available at Walgreens and Duane Reade, in addition to its existing CVS/pharmacy locations, offers the consumer greater access and choice in their personal care shopping.
"As a pharmacist, I have great respect for the Duane Reade and Walgreens brands and quality model. We are pleased with this partnership," Clifton added.
Besides CVS, Walgreens and Duane Reade, other drug retailers offering Pre-Seed include Cardinal Health's Medicine Shoppe, Medicap and Leader pharmacies. It's also sold online through drugstore.com, Target.com and Amazon.com.

Wedding: 5/10/2014
Bridal Reflections came at the recommendation of a co-worker after I had shared my horror stories of bridal gown factories and surly sales people that seemed more intent on earning a commission than finding your dream gown. I didn't say "yes to the dress" and I didn't "love David's Bridal" I didn't feel there was enough of a selection at the smaller boutiques either...and then I walked in to Bridal Reflections. Their Manhattan location is like a hidden gem - not visible from the street level but tucked away on the fourth floor of a commercial building. The space is beautiful and the staff was so attentive and warm toward me and my entire entourage. They took their time with me and let me shop the racks. The sales woman that I worked with offered suggestions and pulled dresses based on what I liked (or didn't) from previous styles i tried on.
I was the only bride in the salon when I found my gown and in the 6 or so times that i came back for fittings, there were never more than 3 brides on the floor at a time.
The seamstress and sales associate were WONDERFUL...and I can not stress that enough. They listened to all of my concerns, they fixed and tweaked and added beadwork to make the dress flawless and they offered suggestions for picking out my veil and headpiece to complete the look.
The level of service was just above and beyond. I will recommend them to all future brides and if you're looking for a more intimate bridal gown shopping experience - make an appointment - you will not be disappointed!

Ramona Keveza L196
Approx Time Frame: Order 4-5 months, Fittings 1-2 months
Original Wedding Date: November 2012 (postponed because of Hurricane)
Wedding Date: May 2013
Cost: Reasonable compared to competitor store (approximately $900 difference)
I found my dress at another store, but couldn't impulse buy a dress because of a trunk show, discounts, pressuring myself, etc. I took a breath and called around after I found out who the designer was. Well, there were only 2 places in NYC that carry RK at the time, and the second is BR. I talked to Christina the manager about my situation, and set up my appt for that week (last week of Dec 2011), and took my sister along. The 5th Ave store normally doesn't have dresses less than $5K, but they were able to transport the dress from their LI store. I tried the dress, and it fit like a glove and just as amazing as when I tried it on originally. I was in love all over again.
This time I was certain, and my sister absolutely loved it too. But what about the price? At this point the manager already knew my budget and what the other offer was. She had pre-negotiated with the designer and offered me a price nearly $900 less than the other place. Had I not done my due diligence, I would have either 1) Not gotten the dress I wanted or 2) Pay too much for the dress I loved.
Going to BR was a great decision. I ended up with class A service from the moment I went in for trying on dresses until I walked out with my dress. Additionally, I had a wedding postponement due to Hurricane Sandy. My dress was done, my last fitting was complete and I was planning to pick up my dress a few days after the hurricane. But we had to reschedule for 6 months later. And BR was amazing to hold the dress onsite for those 6 months and redo my fittings ] the weeks before my 2nd attempt wedding.
For future brides, I recommend you shop around for a place that offers you great service and pricing to suit your needs. Luckily, BR was that place.

Bridal Reflections on 5th Ave in NYC was wonderful! I am from Ohio but the trip was completely worth it for the experience. The dress shopping experience and the alterations experience were both great, everything I would expect and more. I got my dress at an Eve of Milady trunk show. When it came time for my alterations they did back to back days and completed everything in one weekend from Thursday to Saturday. They fixed every little thing I requested and did a beautiful bustle. I would definitely recommend any bride to get their dress here. I could not have had a better experience getting a dress!

I LOVE this place!!! I got my dress, my bridesmaid dresses and my mothers dress here. I had the opportunity to work with both the Massapequa and Carle Place locations.
Debra from their Massapequa location helped me pick out my dress and she was wonderful!! She made my experience feel truly special! She really listen to what I wanted and didn't try to push anything on me. Debra is a true GEM!!!
Emila from their Carle Place location did my alterations and she went above and beyond to make sure my dress fit perfectly! I alway heard stories of bustle breaking. NOT MINE! My dress was in perfect condition the entire night!!
I highly recommend them to anyone!!! They truly made my dress shopping,buying, and altering experience EASY and STRESS FREE!!

I got married on June 1st of this year and got my dress from their 5th ave show room. I was sooo in love with my dress and so were all my guests. The service at this place was amazing I went originally to look for my dress on a Sunday in August and had almost the entire place to myself. I was not pressured to buy anything or end the appointment when my allotted time was up. I was there for at least two hours. My seamstress was my favorite person during the entire process she is AMAZING and made my dress covered in beads fit like a glove. She was so sweet and cool. I would highly recommend this place to anyone I wish I could get married again and again. I also used their carle place location for my bridesmaid dresses and mother of the bride dress. I really love Bridal Reflections !

They were great. My Victor Harper dress was perfect.
the dress was shipped to my home and arrived with a black spot on the back of the train. I was able to have this cleaned out before the big day but it was kind of strange that a black spot on the dress would have been shipped like this.

Most brides dream about their wedding dress from when they are little girls. I certainly did! Bridal Reflections made that dream come to reality. They custom made a dress for me! Top of one and the bottom of another brought together to make my dream wedding dress. Jen was my seamstress and was cool and calm even when I wasn't! She made the the most gorgeous bustle for my very long train! It was just how I imagined it. I recently got the photos of me walking down the aisle with father and then back up with my husband and the dress looked EXACTLY how I dreamed it would! Thank you Bridal Reflections for making my dream dress for me.

Wedding: 9/1/2013
My wedding was in 5 ½ months and I had tried on countless gorgeous wedding gowns, but none of them felt right. I was at an appointment Wedding Atelier and was advised to go to Bridal Reflections. My mom and I took a walk over to Bridal Reflections & they were able to fit us in. Samantha Fortune was helping us pull the dresses and she brought in a handful of big dresses. I tried on my dress & I remember thinking it was so simple compared to the others I had tried on. (It was trumpet style, all lace, no beading). My sister hadn't been able to come to the appointment, and I was dying to have her opinion. Samantha let us take a picture of me in the gown and send it to my sister. Sure enough, after calling my sister & my mom breaking down into tears, we decided I couldn't leave without getting this dress. It was perfectly in our price range and I didn't want to take it off – so I knew this was my dress. Samantha was amazing. She was the perfect blend of helpful, professional and sweet. She brought tissues for my mom and gave us plenty of time and space to take everything in. For my fittings, Jennifer was my seamstress. She was great! My dress was HUGE when it first came in, and Jennifer made it fit like a glove in just 2 fittings. After my wedding (& wearing my gown for 12 hours), I was sad to take off my dress because I knew I would never get to wear it again. The ladies at Bridal Reflections helped me to find a dress to fall in love with and make it fit perfectly without any frustrations. I would highly recommend them to anyone in search of their dream dress.
Wedding: 7/6/2013
After 14 stores, I finally found my dress at Bridal Reflections. Bridal Reflections had a large variety of dresses that allowed me to try on 3 of my favorite dresses at one time and one that surpassed my expectations. Because they had a variety of dresses, I was able to compare my favorites and pick the one that I hadn't seen anywhere else that was truly unique. The saleswoman I worked with was accommodating and easy to talk to. I went to a veil/accessory trunk show and ended up getting my veil and hairpiece there, as well, because the quality could not be surpassed.
I took off 2 stars for service just because it took so long for the dress to come. I was told that the dress would take 7-8 months to arrive. However, at the 8 month mark, I didn't hear anything from them. I waited 8 1/2 months and then finally called to see, and they told me that they hadn't heard from the manufacturer, which stressed me out immensely. However, they had it remedied after 2 weeks and sent me detailed shipping information. My suggestion would be to ask for a specific date and call that date, or ask for an update. I ended up being stressed for a good month thinking that no one knew where my dress was. I know it takes a long time to make a dress, but I would've liked more frequent updates - or at least something other than that they hadn't heard from the manufacturer in a while.
Wedding: 10/13/2012
For starters...my initial experience with the shop was wonderful. My Mom and I went to NYC for a day of dress shopping. I was very indecisive and bridal reflections helped narrow down to a dress I would love. I found a dress, loved the bottom and hated the top. The boss (Christine) and my attendant (Lizette) agreed that the shop would be able to alter the top no problem. BAD IDEA. Lizette started off to be so helpful and I will admit that the shop always allowed me to stay in the shop as long as I needed. Let me break this down...
-I explained and drew out on paper what I wanted the top of the dress to look like. They were not going to alter the dress until I was in the shop and they were going to do it on my body. At my next fitting, the dress top was already altered. I didn't like it.
- Long story short, it took over 7 trips to the shop (I live in Connecticut) for the seamstresses to get it somewhat close to what I wanted. I spend countless hours in the shop, a complete waste of my time. They kept telling me "we can't make it how you want" or "this material can't be stitched like this". My dress was a sweetheart neckline top made of satin silk. The sweetheart top had pulls in it all over from the stitches; they just kept telling me it was my body shape. One fitting I showed up and my dress had a spot on it. Another fitting 3 stitches were popped. The list continues. My 2nd to last fitting I waited for an hour and a half before I was greeted because they were working on my dress in the back, rather than fixing it before I got there. In the end, my dress was pretty but I deff. Regret going to bridal reflections. SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE! Do not go to Bridal Reflections! When I went to pick up my dress it was steamed but still had noticeable wrinkles in it. Also, Lizette would not even come out of the back room to talk to me. Christine the manager tried her best to work with me and I will say she was patient but she does not know what she is talking about half the time, either do the seamstresses. Also, 30 minutes before I walked down the aisle the side boning of my dress collapsed, there was nothing I could do. My dress designer was by Christine Anthony (Bridal Reflections Private Designer). Not to mention, the cost of the alterations were absurd, I spent $800 on alterations. That includes the french bussle for 275.00. The bussle is not included in their "cap". I wanted this to be the best experience of my wedding but it turned into a headache and nightmare. I wasted time and money with traveling back and forth. There are plenty of other stores out there. I have spoken with a handful of other girls who have said the same thing about Bridal Reflections. Take my advice.
Wedding: 9/13/2013
I went to bridal reflections a week ago and food my dress. My consultant Was amazing, she listened to my needs and paid attention to what I was looking for. After trying on 3 dresses that only started to get better, she went an pulled out a beautiful Winnie couture dress that was also in my budget!!!! The manager was great at striking an amazing deal that allowed me to get the dress of my dreams (mom's dreams too) with my first time ever wedding dress shopping
Wedding: 8/18/2012
I went wedding dress shopping at the Manhattan location of Bridal Reflections as my first stop of dress shopping. I cannot say enough positive things about this boutique! From the moment my mom and I arrived, they were so sweet. We worked with Jessica (who I think is one of the managers), and she was great. I described the feel of the wedding we were going for, what my thoughts were on dresses, and showed her pictures of the venue so she could get a sense of the style. From there, she pulled several dresses and the third one was the charm! Even though I thought I had found "the one" she encouraged me to try on other styles, just to make sure that I was 100% confident in "the one." I was never rushed, never pressured to make a decision, or upsold to a dress that was more expensive than I wanted to spend.
I had scheduled an appointment at Kleinfelds the same day as Bridal Reflections and still wanted to try out Kleinfelds "just in case" there were other dresses I wanted. Jessica encouraged me to do this and encouraged me to call her after my appointment to schedule my fitting if I still wanted my dress. They fit me in the next morning to get measured and to pick out accessories.
Throughout the ordering process, wait time, alterations and final fittings, I was more than impressed with Bridal Reflections customer service. They were upfront with everything and kept me informed along the way! Alterations were perfect and reasonably priced and done in a very timely manner.
Bonus: They also give a 15% discount on bridesmaid dresses (at their other locations) if you buy your wedding dress there and since all my girls were out of town, they took care of all orders over the phone and gave us a 25% "no frills" discount for all bridesmaids dresses and then shipped them out when they arrived. They were great at keeping me informed on which bridesmaids had (and hadn't) called in so that I could make sure the girls all received their dress in time.
Wedding: 6/15/2013
I flew into NYC for the sole purpose of finding my wedding dress. The Bridal Salon I flew into NYC to see was Kleinfeld's, but when I was flying down to NYC I was flipping though my bridal magazine and found an advertisement for Bridal Reflections. I called the Bridal Salon and made an appointment that day and they were able to fit me in! I started browsing through the racks and noticed some gorgeous dresses that I could not wait to try on. My bridal consultant was patient and absolutely fabulous. During past bridal appointments, I was rushed and the consultant just wanted the sale. I feel during this process I was able to take my time and evaluate the dresses that I tried on in order to make the right decision. The salon owner and consultant were so wonderful and the dress was so perfect, I bought it on the spot. I enjoyed my experience at Bridal Reflections and would recommend this bridal salon to anyone. They carry Eve of Milady dresses, which are stunning!

Found exactly what I had been looking for at this shop. My sales assistant was not the greatest but I think it was because it was at the end of a long day. Much less stressful experience than some other larger shops in NYC. The seamstress was phenomenal, I would recommend her to anyone.
Wedding: 8/3/2012
They were very nice in helping me find the perfect dress.
Wedding: 7/28/2012
I absolutely loved my dress!! It was so gorgeous!!
The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 was that I needed my maid of honor to pin my train up more because it was dragging too much and people were stepping on it.
Other than that, the service was great and did i mention that I Loved My Dress!! =)

I second what anon58388 says: I'm 26, lived in England all my life and have never even heard of a mushy pea fritter until now, much less seen one. I've eaten in quite a few pubs.
It is possible however, that this article is referring to Scotland, Scotland being a part of the UK. Scotland has a reputation for deep-frying a lot of things, so it's possible that this mushy pea fritter is a Scottish thing, but it certainly isn't an English thing.

Credit Card Money Laundering & US Puppets! Mar 15/12
Alleges suspicious pattern of deposits by HSBC using credit card transactions
NEW YORK – A review of HSBC corporate accounts demonstrating a suspicious pattern of deposits and withdrawals illustrates how credit card transactions can be used in money laundering activity, according to a whistleblower who has provided WND with more than 1,000 pages of evidence against the global bank.
The evidence includes customer account ledgers for dozens of companies through which the financial institution was laundering money each month, charges John Cruz, a former relationship manager for the bank's southern New York region.
"Studying the pattern of deposit and withdrawal activity in the suspect corporate accounts provides abundant evidence that bank employees at HSBC were directly involved manipulating fictitious corporate accounts in a money laundering scheme that extended to the highest levels of bank management and bank security," Cruz said.
"The money laundering in the suspect accounts tended to start slowly and build rapidly, to the point where millions of dollars were being wired into and wired out of the accounts monthly."
The series of Articles on HSBC already has caused fallout for this reporter and for WND, which saw one of the articles temporarily blocked when HSBC filed a complaint with an Internet provider that turned out to be unwarranted.
HSBC is reportedly under investigation by a U.S. Senate committee, and WND has provided material to federal investigators.
Exhibit 1 is a checking account record from a redacted HSBC account in which PayPal and American Express transactions play a prominent role. The two credit card-related companies, as WND has reported, have been implicated in the alleged HSBC international money-laundering scheme involving hundreds of billions of dollars.
As seen in Exhibit 1, the PayPal link into the account was established in the bank statement period that began July 25, 2008, and ended Aug. 26, 2008
USA Puppets to UN Mar 15/12
Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com
Thursday, March 8, 2012
Alex Jones: "This represents absolute 100 per cent proof that the military industrial complex which runs the United States is under the control of foreign central banks who are imposing a military dictatorship."
The Pentagon is engaging in damage control after shocking testimony yesterday by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at a Senate Armed Services Committee congressional hearing during which it was confirmed that the U.S. government is now completely beholden to international power structures and that the legislative branch is a worthless relic.
Obama Admin Cites 'Int'l Permission,' Not Congress, As 'Legal Basis' For Action In Syria
During the hearing yesterday Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey brazenly admitted that their authority comes not from the U.S. Constitution, but that the United States is subservient to and takes its marching orders from the United Nations and NATO, international bodies over which the American people have no democratic influence.
Panetta was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions, "We spend our time worrying about the U.N., the Arab League, NATO and too little time, in my opinion, worrying about the elected representatives of the United States. As you go forward, will you consult with the United States Congress?"
The Defense Secretary responded "You know, our goal would be to seek international permission. And we would come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress."
Despite Sessions' repeated efforts to get Panetta to acknowledge that the United States Congress is supreme to the likes of NATO and the UN, Panetta exalted the power of international bodies over the US legislative branch.
"I'm really baffled by the idea that somehow an international assembly provides a legal basis for the United States military to be deployed in combat," Sessions said. "I don't believe it's close to being correct. They provide no legal authority. The only legal authority that's required to deploy the United States military is of the Congress and the president and the law and the Constitution."
Panetta's assertion that he would seek "international permission" before 'informing' Congress about the actions of the US military provoked a firestorm of controversy, prompting the Pentagon to engage in damage control by claiming Panetta's comments were misinterpreted.
"He was re-emphasizing the need for an international mandate. We are not ceding U.S. decision-making authority to some foreign body," a defense official told CNN.
However, this is not the first time that the authority of international bodies has been framed as being superior to the US Congress and the Constitution.
In June last year, President Obama arrogantly expressed his hostility to the rule of law when he dismissed the need to get congressional authorization to commit the United States to a military intervention in Libya, churlishly dismissing criticism and remarking, "I don't even have to get to the Constitutional question."
Obama tried to legitimize his failure to obtain Congressional approval for military involvement by sending a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner in which he said the military assault was "authorized by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council."
Panetta's testimony that the US looks to obtain "international permission" before it acts, allied with Obama citing the UN as the supreme authority while trashing the power of Congress, prove that the United States has ceded control over its own affairs to unelected international bureaucrats, just as the countries of the European Union have done likewise.

DIY Dress-Up Hat Rack
Little Man LOVES playing dress up! He loves hats to be more precise – and he has an abundance of them. …And those hats take up LOTS of space. So I looked into purchasing an over-the-door hat rack and found that most of them cost $20 and are not made for the plastic fireman style hats that he loves so much – the ones that I could find are made for baseball caps.
So I decided to make one that will work for his hats (and accommodate his baseball cap collection too) using office supplies!
I bought a few packs of book binder rings a while back (certain that I would find a use for them someday! Ha!) for about $1.50/5 pack & a couple of packs of badge clips (with a plastic strap attachment) for $1.50/10 pack. The amount you will need depends upon how long you want it to be (how many hats you have to hang). I also used a plastic over the door towel hanger that I already had around the house.
I attached one badge clip to each book ring using the plastic snap. Then I looped the book rings onto each other, creating a chain. Slip the end of the chain onto the over the door hanger, hang on the back of a door, and clip your hats on!
Worried that you're going to have to unhook the hats every time your child wants one? Don't! Little man just turned 4 and can easily open the clips on his own.
I think Little Man will be much happier if I add a few extra rings at the top to make it longer (so he can actually reach all of his hats), but I'm definitely pleased with my prototype!

Dogs to hunt turkeys????????????
July 26th, 2010, 10:37 AM
I just read on the WI DNR website that you can now use dogs to hunt turkeys. I'm not a turkey hunter, so how do you use dogs for turkeys??

break up the flocks in fall, then call them back.
July 26th, 2010, 12:56 PM
Yep, break the flock a little bit before they go to roost at night. This requires the dog to get close without barking so the birds scatter and seperate from eachother. That way they'll roost in pairs or alone overnight. If the dog doesn't get close enough, they'll fly away as a group. Once you scatter them, you set up early the next morning right where the dog scattered them and set up a decoy. start calling when you hear some come down from the roost and they will try to regroup close to the calls.

total B/S, why would aSubmitted by B M (not verified) on Thu, 11/15/2012 - 8:59pm.
total B/S, why would a police force raid a family's home in the middle of the night for an ALLEGED kissing incident and put innocent children at risk when all they had to do was wait till the guy was on his normal routine and call him to the side and issue a warrant, utter B/S!!! remember the wilmington kid that was shot thru his front door years ago over an alleged stealing of a game? Since when does an innocent till proven guilty man or woman deserve to have their pictures published in the news before their guilt is ever proven, nothing worse than a teen aged girl who has been rejected on a revenge hunt! »

BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease increases cardiovascular risk in many patient populations. The risks associated with an abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease have not been well described with respect to thresholds and types of cardiovascular events. METHODS: We examined 2,368 patients in the BARI 2D trial who underwent ABI assessment at baseline. Death and major cardiovascular events (death, myocardial infarction and stroke) during follow-up (average 4.3 years) were assessed across the ABI spectrum and by categorized ABI: low (≤0.90), normal (0.91-1.3), high (>1.3), or noncompressible. RESULTS: A total of 12,568 person-years were available for mortality analysis. During follow-up, 316 patients died, and 549 had major cardiovascular events. After adjustment for potential confounders, with normal ABI as the referent group, a low ABI conferred an increased risk of death (relative risk [RR] 1.6, CI 1.2-2.2, P = .0005) and major cardiovascular events (RR 1.4, CI 1.1-1.7, P = .004). Patients with a high ABI had similar outcomes as patients with a normal ABI, but risk again increased in patients with a noncompressible ABI with a risk of death (RR 1.9, CI 1.3-2.8, P = .001) and major cardiovascular event (RR 1.5, CI 1.1-2.1, P = .01). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes, ABI screening and identification of ABI abnormalities including a low ABI (<1.0) or noncompressible artery provide incremental prognostic information.

My press release was ignored
Question: I work for a small non-profit organization. We provide permanent housing for chronically mentally ill (CMI) folks capable of semi-independent living who were homeless at the time they came into our program. We recently received an operating and maintenance grant from the State of Washington for $6,000 for the next 40 years. We were one of only two organizations on the east side of the state to get an award. The state sent out a press release and I submitted a press release and, to the best of my knowledge it was ignored.
What do small groups need to do to get some coverage in the paper? I cannot say we have never received coverage - we did get about two paragraphs recently when we had a fire that damaged seven of the nine units at our apartment house. We are still trying to recover financially from the fire. It was my hope that the press release would help us find some other folks who would like to help us. If you are doing good things in the community, how do you get support from the S-R? -- Larry Griffith, Executive Director Salem Arms, Spokane
Answer: We receive literally hundreds of press releases each week from a variety of sources and organizations, so it is very difficult for us to read and publish every piece of information we receive in the normal course of business. Frankly, given the volume of press releases we receive in the mail, by fax or email, it is quite possible that yours was simply lost in the shuffle. If you would like to send me a copy of it, I'll be happy to ask our editors to consider it for publication. If you like, you can send it via email to email@example.com., or you can fax it to my attention at 459-5482. -- Gary Graham, managing editor

Transactions and Rollback with RPM
You may be thinking this process is complicated, but using transactional rollbacks actually is rather easy. As a simple example, let's install a single RPM and roll it back. The most crucial point you have to remember is that whenever you do an upgrade or simple erase, you must tell RPM to repackage the old package before it is erased. To do this, use the --repackage option:
# rpm -Uvh --repackage foo-1-2.noarch.rpm Preparing... ############################# [100%] Repackaging... 1:foo ############################# [100%] Upgrading... 1:foo ############################# [100%]
Using this option, RPM first repackaged the old package and then upgraded the new one. On an erase, you also need to use the --repackage option, like this:
# rpm -e --repackage foo
RPM does not show any output from an erase, but if you look in the repackage directory after an erase, a repackaged package is there.
To roll back this RPM transaction, use the --rollback option followed by the rollback target. The rollback target can be an actual date or something like one hour ago (the date specifier allows the same date formats as the cvs(1) command's -D option). So, if an hour after upgrading foo, you decide you don't want it, you could type:
# rpm -Uvh --rollback '2 hours ago' Rollback packages (+1/-1) to Thu Jul 31 23:26:52 2003 (0x3f29ddfc): Preparing... ########################### 100%] 1:foo ########################### [ 33%]
The output Rollback packages (+1/-1) shows that RPM is going to add one package, the previous version, and erase one package, the currently installed version.
Transactional rollbacks are only as good as your local repackaged packages repository. One quick way of making them fail is to upgrade or erase something without using the --repackage option. From my experience, it is pretty easy to forget to use this option. Therefore, if you are going to use transactional rollbacks, you want to configure RPM to repackage all erasures automatically. Do this by setting the %_repackage_all_erasures macro to 1 in your /etc/rpm/macros file. If the file does not exist simply create it:
%_repackage_all_erasures 1
By default, RPM does not roll back a newly installed package; that is, it does not erase packages that were not on the system at the time of your upgrade. You probably don't want this to be the default behavior, so you need to tell RPM to allow for this. To do this, set the macro %_unsafe_rollbacks to the date beyond which you do not want to allow an RPM to be completely erased on a rollback. A good value for this is some time after your system's initial install. This date should be in seconds since epoch. To convert a date to seconds since epoch, use the date command:
date --date="8/1/2003" +%s 1059710400
If you wanted to tell RPM not to remove packages completely that were installed on or before 8/1/2003 (the date in the above example), you would add the following to the /etc/rpm/macros file:
%_unsafe_rollbacks 1059710400
The only other thing you may want to configure is where RPM puts the repackaged packages. One reason for doing this is to ensure they are placed in a partition that has ample space. To change the repackage directory, set the %_repackage_dir macro to the directory where you wish to store the repackaged packages:
%_repackage_dir /my_rp_repository
Now you have a system that automatically repackages all erasures (so you or someone else does not forget), erases newly installed packages on a rollback (but won't erase your whole system) and places the repackaged packages where you want to store them.
In Red Hat 9, up2date supports rollbacks using RPM's transactional rollback mechanism. Configuring it to support transactional rollbacks is as simple as running up2date-config, clicking the Retrieval/Installation tab and then clicking the Enable RPM rollbacks check box (see Figure 1). You have to configure RPM itself as described in the previous section. When you upgrade your system using up2date, once you have configured both RPM and up2date, RPM creates the repackaged packages of RPMs you are updating before it upgrades those packages.
To list the different known rollback targets, type:
up2date --list-rollbacks
Empty rpms when I use rpm -Uvh --test with transational rollback
When I have repackage_all_erasures on and then do a rpm -Uvh --test it creates empty .rpm files in the /var/spool/repackage area. Has anyone else noticed this? Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
I just checked whether this affects what happens when I first do a rpm -Uvh --test foo.rpm and then actually do a rpm -Uvh. It doesn't seem to affect anything, the empty foo.rpm is replaced by the real foo.rpm in /var/spool/repackage.
Re: Transactions and Rollback with RPM
Watch out for the situation where you already have rollback rpms in the repackage directory with the same name.
ie. upgrade prog-1.0-1 to 1.1-1 and create a prog-1.0-1.i386.rpm file in the rollback package directory. Perform an up2date --undo, which backs out version 1.1 and puts version 1.0 back. It leaves the rollback RPMS hanging around and if you don't delete them, your next upgrade of prog-1.0 will fail to generate the rollback packages with an error like.
Warning: The following packages are being updated, but these packages
have already been repackaged and this is currently not supported.
Repackage support for this transaction has been disabled.
And now you have no rollback available, but the previous rollback packages have been removed!!
So remember, manually remove your rollback packages after you have performed a rollback.
This is fixed, but I forget in which version...
I fixed this in the HEAD of rpm about a your ago. That said, I don't know which official versions have this fix. Basically, the rollback needed to remove the repackaged packages that it used in the rollback. If your current version of RPM does not do this, I can probably produce a patch pretty quickly.
Finally, just so you know, the latest version of RPM will have several fixes for transactional rollbacks (all done by Jeff Johnson), and will have the latest autorollback patches in it. This will be the 4.4.3 release of rpm. There are many other fixes and features.
Re: Transactions and Rollback with RPM
Couldn't this rollback feature automaticly remove the rolled back package?
Anyone, a patch?
I would do it if I could....
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Yeah lol I'm one on the right track I already have an intercooler and a snow water injection kit just have installed them yet I didn't wanna make things any more complicated just yet
Currently I'm running 30 deg total what do u think I should crank it up to just to see if there's a difference
No definitely don't wanna turn this motor into soup I don't not have a boost retard box I was playing with the idea of an msd btm box but haven't made a move on getting on
cylinder head casting numbers are 462624 turns out its a 1.94 int valve with 1.5 exhaust valve....small valves!
been searching around trying to find a set of suitable heads and im thinking maybe instead of using a 76cc i could running a smaller more abundantly available size cc head and run a thicker cooper head gasket (.093 compressed thickness) i think a 64cc head is widely available and cheaper and the titan copper head gaskets seem to be a good choice as far as increase my cr in order to run more boost and to seem the boost better what-da-ya think?
ive been on the turbo forums either no one repsond to ur thread or u get a jerk repsonding whole just wants to talk crap... nonetheless im looking for advice as to ideas on why this motor feels lacking not so much on the turbo theres no debate on if an aftermarket set of heads is better than stock i plan to change it would u agree the lower the compression a bit in order to run more boost is a good idea? what do u thiink about copper head gaskets for a boosted motor
Inside I all the nonsensical bickering I'm hearig to change the head... I looked at the world s/r torquer heads I believe they are 195cc int runners with 76cc chambers going back to my questio would u suggest using a thicker head gasket maybe copper in order to lower compression ratio so I can crank up the boost
I'm not gonna start tearing down the block and rotating assembly the changes I'm looking to make are up top if I run a thicker head gasket I should theoretically be able to run a smaller chamber head like a 64cc which is more available and has more choices
I am definitely going to add on my water inj and intercooler just wanted to try and dial in the motor in a little before hand so I have an idea if I'm where I should be and I wasn't happy with where I was at that's why I posted
Yeah I feel u on that one I believe u said earlier that I should lock the distributor out and set total... Are u suggesting that I try a total and give it the seat of the pants test and add or remove timing from there?
im trying to gather as mch info as possible... never found that to be a bad approach and i'll stick to it...ur information is valuable however telling me about how badly i have set this this up and making remark about bow im gonna blow it doesnt
i will be getting some high octane fuel and locking the timing while adding a little at a time and testing ur advice is being taken
engine will not spin above approx 4000rpm
