I had a grinding noise during the wash cycle. I decided to check the food chopper, all okay there. So I decided to replace the washer pump & motor. When I compaired both the new part and the old part I noticed the tip of the impeller was broken on the new part. I removed the impeller from the old motor and put it on the new one. After I got it back together I tried it and had the same noise. I removed the food chopper and the noise was gone. I guess I'll replace the food chopper now, even though it looks okay.

2010 BEST Sommelier
Cat Silirie
Most sommeliers keep their servers so oenologically clueless, it feels like a job-security scheme. Not so with Silirie, who arms every associate in Barbara Lynch's multi-restaurant gastro-empire with knowledge that extends far beyond by-the-glass pours. Ask about any esoteric bottling on Silirie's famously eclectic lists, and you'll be met with exuberant expertise, not blank stares.

Turner lifts 76ers past Celtics
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — Evan Turner hit the go-ahead basket with 3.9 seconds left in overtime to lift the Philadelphia 76ers to a 95-94 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday.
Turner finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds and Thaddeus Young had 17 points and 12 rebounds as the 76ers snapped a two-game losing skid.
This was also the opener of a home-and-home series between the longtime rivals.
Jrue Holiday contributed 15 points to the win at the Wells Fargo Center arena.
Boston suffered its second defeat in its last three outings despite a triple-double from Rajon Rondo and a game-high 27 points by forward Paul Pierce.
The Celtics got 19 points off the bench from Jeff Green and a 17-point, 10-rebound performance from Kevin Garnett.
Rondo, who was playing his second game after coming back from a suspension, finished with 16 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds.
The 76ers closed out November with three-straight victories, but they had lost their first two games of this month.
The Sixers, who visit Boston on Saturday, have won five of their past seven versus the Celtics after losing 12 of the previous 14.
Rondo was handed his ban by the league for his involvement in a shoving match with the Brooklyn Nets on November 28.
Boston have now won four of its past seven overall.

Computer for my Dad on Father's Day
Hey guys, my dad's old computer is pretty terrible.
Long story short, he'd appreciate a new computer for father's day!
Could you guys recommend me a prebuilt that comes with a monitor/keyboard etc?
The whole deal. Preferably a 24 inch monitor.
Though I can obviously just buy the monitor separate.
Budget is $1000
He's not gonna play any games :P
Building him one would be a nicer gesture. You could make it with silent fans and be a real nice office type set up, you could put it in something snazzy like this bad boy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811204039&Tpk=wood
But really, with a $1000 budget for an office computer, spend most of it on a really nice monitor and keyboard. He'd probably appreciate that, something professional looking and high quality. One of those Dell IPS monitors and and a DAS keyboard? Also an SSD. If you get a prebuilt, you should throw one of those in there too, just because that'd be one of the main upgrades he'd actually notice.
Oh, and a nice set of speakers (but I have no idea on those)
I'm coming up with a build right now, if you're interested.
My only problem with building for him is not being at home and taking summer classes right now.
He's not really into super professional looking things. But clean is definitely nice.
As far as a Das Keyboard, I've actually been looking into getting one of those myself. But he doesn't really enjoy noisy keys, nor is he a great typist.
For speakers, I was actually thinking of just getting him the same as mine, Klipsch Promedia 2.1s
He's also hoping that a new computer would last him about 10 years. Which is probably near a realistic goal but I'd have to get him something else before 10 years passes haha.
Is this the monitor you're referring to?
Well I think some switches are pretty quiet-ish (not the blues, you'd have to look up which one). I think if you can find the time, building him one is the way to go (I still think that case is sweet). How much HDD space does he need? Does he store a lot of files? A nice quality mouse would probably be nice, too, but I don't really have a suggestion on one, since I'm really only familiar with gaming mice (do they make any other kind of high quality mouse?)
I made a build, but it didn't want to let me publish it (combo deals) and I don't feel like posting each part, but it was just that wood case, an i3 2100, cheap h61 mobo, dell ultrasharp 24' monitor, a DAS models (any clean looking mechanical keyboard would work though, DAS is spendy) and 8gb of ram a crucial M4 256gb SSD for $180 ($200- $20 off)
500gb-1TB HDD would be nice. He backs up onto an external HDD that I'm unsure of in capacity.
Anyone have any prebuilt recommendations?
I'll probably go with the Dell Ultrasharp 23/24
Speakers are still a toss up, keyboard, mouse etc.
Bump for Dad!
Hows this?
i3-2120 ( I'm assuming that's better than a 2100)
6gb ram so I don't need to buy 8gb
And a customer review said they put a 6770 in no problems.
Sound prebuilt purchase for $409?
That plus the Ultrasharp should be around $700, leaving me $300 to do whatever with.
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
Ehh, I take that back. It's actually not too bad of a buy all things considered.
i5 3570k @4.2 GHz/ Asrock Z77 Extreme4 / 8GB G.Skill Sniper 1866 / MSI GTX 560 / Corsair Force GT 120GB / Seagate Barracuda 2TB
DiehardFFv2 posted...
Ehh, I take that back. It's actually not too bad of a buy all things considered.
That's what I was thinking
Any thoughts on 6770 vs 460 while you're at it?
Don't really have faith in HD2000.
And a mouse :P
I dunno how much he'd like a G400

Ummm... I don't know. This guy screams Jeff Otah to me. He looks out of shape by NFL standards. The guy needs to get rid of some of that gut that is hanging there. If not then he will end up been another Jeff Otah look a like.
It's not a comment on his skills.
It's a comment on his appearance.
I like my offensive linemen to be "aesthetically challenged".

TEMECULA: Three quarry info sessions scheduled next week
First is in Temecula on Tuesday, others in Corona and Hemet
If the project is approved, Granite would be required to install air quality monitoring stations and measure vibration, and to use only non-drinking water for operations.
Johnson said those new measures also would be covered at the sessions.
Mike Jurkosky, a Rainbow resident who lives near the proposed quarry site, said he doesn't plan to attend any of the sessions, saying that he has already sifted through the environmental documentation and found it lacking.
"I've heard it all," he said. "They've paid for a very expensive, flawed report. How do I challenge it? Anytime you say something, they start waving that (environmental impact report) around."
Another project critic, Cheryl Alkema of De Luz, said she doesn't plan to attend a session either.
"I'm not interested in anything Granite has to do with," she said. "We've been involved from Day 1 and we're well aware of everything."
Instead of attending a session, Alkema said, she will continue working to help increase turnout for the upcoming commission hearing, which is set for 4 p.m. April 26 at Rancho Community Church, 31300 Rancho Community Way in Temecula.

Book Review: Tschai (Planet of Adventure)
Tschai is a science fiction series made up of 4 books written by Jack Vance in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These 4 books are: City of the Chasch (or the Chasch), the Dirdir, the Servants of the Wannek (or the Wannek), and the Pnume. I first read these books 30 years ago after reading Vance's Moon Moth and the Last Castle in a collection of Hugo Award-winning stories. I'm a big fan of the series and have read it multiple times, though this is the first time I've read the series in its entirety in well over 20 years. The books, which have been in and out of print, are now available digitally either as separate books or as one volume. In the past, the series has been published as one volume under the title 'Planet of Adventure', the digital version is simply called Tschai.
At its core, Tschai is essentially a "Planetary Romance" or "Sword and Planet" story. This genre generally features a lone individual from Earth engaging in various adventures on some far away planet. Weapons and cultures tend to be a mix of the primitive and high tech. It's not unusual for such stories to include an attractive female (not necessarily human!) who needs rescuing. Tschai features such elements but Vance being Vance he uses these elements in unique and original ways.
The series opens with Earth explorer Adam Reith stranded on the distant world of Tschai after his ship and his companions are destroyed by a missile from an unknown adversary. Reith quickly finds out that the planet is home to four alien-races: the reptilian and cruel Chasch, the amphibious Wannek, the predatory Dirdir, and the mysterious Pnume. (The Pnume are actually indigenous to Tschai but were driven underground long ago by other alien races.) Reith is also surprised to find humans on Tschai whom he surmises were taken from Earth in the distant past. Each alien race has its own servant/slave human population known respectively as the Chaschmen, Dirdirmen, Wannekmen and Pnumekin. Some of these servant humans are surgically or genetically modified to resemble their master race. Though many other humans live free, all are intimidated in some way by these alien races. Not being the dominant species on the planet has affected the psyche of humans on Tschai, they are used to playing the victim and would never dream of rising up against the other 'superior' races. Reith obviously has a different mindset which serves him in good stead while trying to find a way home.
As mentioned, there are a number of 'planetary romance' elements in these books. Technology is a mixture of primitive and high tech – it is implied that aliens make sure that the human population on Tschai is kept technologically deficient to keep them from becoming a threat. There is a princess to be rescued but in typical Vance fashion he turns this planetary romance element on its head. The grateful princess is saved by Reith and they become lovers. However, as Reith journeys to take her back to her country of Cath, she knows her love for Reith – an outlander – will bring shame and dishonor to both her and her house. This inner conflict eventually drives the princess to violence and suicide! (One can see why George RR Martin thinks so highly of Jack Vance.)
The rest of the series details Reith's encounters with the various alien races and humans that make up Tschai as he tries to find a ship that will take him to Earth. His adventures take him from ruined cities where terrifying Phung lurk, to the dreaded Carabas where Dirdir hunt and eat men, to the tunnels of the Pnume where he avoids being added to their Museum of Foreverness. Along the way, Reith often causes drastic changes to the status quo.
Tschai is overall a great read. It also may be the best introduction to Jack Vance out there. The series is imaginative, the dialogue is vintage Vance, the action is essentially non-stop, and the protagonist is actually sympathetic. That's not too say there are no issues with the books. Reith himself is a fairly underdeveloped character. We never find out anything about his life before he's marooned on Tschai except that he is not currently in a relationship. We never hear about his life on Earth and no family or friends are mentioned. The story itself has some issues: it seems way too easy for Reith to get away from the Pnume when he rescues Zap 210, for instance. Still, for me at least, these complaints are mostly quibbles. I give the series a 4 out of 5, highly recommended.
Old School Review: Skyrealms of Jorune
I was going through my old game collection when I came upon a game from the mid-1980s called 'Sky Realms of Jorune'. I remember this rpg fondly. Back in 1985, I saw advertisements for the game in Dragon magazine, I then saw the box set at my FLGS with the illustration shown to the left. I purchased it that day.
The game had a lot going for it. The artwork was all done by Miles Teves who is currently a major Hollywood concept artist (www.milesteves.com). Up to that point, I don't believe there was another game that had better art. Teves' illustrations really brought Jorune to life. Also, the game setting was unique and very detailed. It even had it's own vocabulary (though this may also have been a detriment, see below).
Skyrealms of Jorune had a "Sword and Planet" type setting. Humans had settled the planet Jorune 3500 years prior and had encountered a number of alien races including the Shanthas, who we were native to the planet and dominated most of the world. At first, the human settlers lived in peace with the other races on Jorune, but an apocalyptic war on Earth changed all that. Humans began infringing on Shantha territory in search of resources which precipitated a war. While the humans considered Shanthas to be primitive, the Shanthas were the masters of isho, the ambient radiation or energy that was produced by the planet Jorune's crystalline core. The Shanthas were able to manipulate and use Isho to devastating effect. Both races engaged in a genocidal war that knocked the survivors back to a primitive state.
The game takes place 3500 years after the Shantha War. Humans have rebounded, creating a civilization that is fairly close to the Renaissance in technological and cultural development. There are a number of races that inhabit Jorune including human offshoots known as Boccord (think 'half-giants') and Muadra (smaller but can wield isho). There are also the Iscin races, these were Terran animals that had been 'uplifted' to sentience by a xeno-biologist named Iscin shortly after the Shantha War. This was done by Iscin so that the animals could both survive on a hostile world and carry on humanity's cultural legacy. Other intelligent beings were found on Jorune when humans arrived: besides the aforementioned shanthas (who are not necessarily hostile), there are the thriddle (small beings with eyestalks known for their intellects and language mastery), the cleash (hostile insectoids banished to the far north by the Shanthas millenia before), and the ramians (tall, skinny stoics covered in exoskeleton, often hostile). And these are just the primary races! Jorune has a number of mysteries and backstories, and these different races are deeply involved in them. Most of these races are playable as characters, but humans have one big advantage over all of them – ancient Earth-tech only works when wielded by human hands. So if a blaster is found by a party, only the humans in the party can use it.
Characters normally started out in the main human realm of Burdoth. Their goal is to become a Drenn (citizen). To become a citizen, one must get a current citizen to add their mark to your challisk; in otherwords, you had to do something for a citizen so that they would sponsor you. Enough sponsors and you would become a citizen. Obviously, this created a good excuse for players to go on adventures. Jorune provides a good basis for many types of adventures: exploring sky realms, seeking out lost Earth tech, learning how to manipulate isho (Jorune's version of casting spells), finding out what the other races were up to, investigating shanthic ruins, etc.
After reading the rules and background, I had my gaming group roll up characters and we proceeded to play 2 or 3 sessions. I remember liking it, but I also remember there were issues with both the setting and the rules. Our interest waned and we went back to D&D.
So what were the issues? The first and lesser issue revolved around the use of language. Jorune had it's own vocabulary, often using setting terms in place of standard gaming terms. For example, in the game the gamemaster was called a Sholari, while players were referred to as Tauther. You see this throughout the game. In my experience, a little of this goes a long way towards helping players get immersed into a setting but if you use it too much your players don't get immersed; instead, they feel like 'fish out of water'.
The second, bigger problem was the rules for the game. They were needlessly complex. Take combat for example, it involved a lot of dice rolling. The basic structure had players roll a d20 for Advantage. High Advantage characters went first. Attackers rolled a d20 against their attack skill target number while defenders rolled d20 against their defense skill target number. If the attack succeeded and the defense failed, the attacker had a potential hit. He would then roll 2d6 on the hit location table, and THEN 2d6 on the armor penetration table, if necessary. If the attack got through the armor, then the attacker would roll 2d6 one more time on the appropriate damage table to obtain a descriptive wound result: superficial, minor, major, or critical. Not only was this overly complicated, combat itself was pretty deadly. It's fine if a game wants to discourage combat, but when your setting emphasizes blasters, nasty aliens, and powerful offensive powers (dyshas – essentially spells using isho) combat seems an inevitable part of the game. Using ishowas even more complicated…
That all said, the game certainly had its merits and I do remember enjoying at least some of it.
A third edition was licensed and published in 1992 by game distributor Chessex. This version was supposed to streamline the rules. I own this edition as well, though I've never played it. Looking through the book I notice there are charts for combat, something most rpgs had gotten away from by 1992. There are certainly still issues around language. While I'm tempted to give this edition a playtest, I have read that these rules were rushed into production and basically never playtested; hence, they are supposed to be a mess! Chessex put out some supplements after which the license was pulled.
In 1994, a PC version of the setting called 'Alien Logic' was released, but it didn't do very well. Since several parties were involved in the PC version of the game, the rights to Jorune became murky. As a result, the game appears to be dead, which is a shame. That said, there does appear to be some fan conversions online, including a Savage Worlds version which appears to be complete. If you are interested in Jorune, you might want to pick up an old edition of the game and maybe try a rules conversion. There's a lot to like.
Movie Review – Fury
Saw the movie Fury at the local theater a couple of days ago. The movie is about the crew of a Sherman tank during the last months of WWII. It stars Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf and some other actors that I had never heard of.
The movie is well acted. Brad Pitt is great. I normally can't stand Shia LaBeouf and I hesitated seeing the movie because he was in it, but he's really good in Fury.
The movie has the most realistic portrayal of tank warfare I've seen on film, especially a scene where 4 Shermans take on a Tiger tank. Only one Sherman survives as it's able to get behind the Tiger and hit it in the rear where its armor is weakest.
I was impressed with the movie's 'realism', at least when it came to the equipment used. The Americans are running around in real Shermans, the Germans have a real Tiger tank (at least, it looked real). The Sherman's fire white phosphorus (Willie Pete) something I've never seen portrayed in a movie before (even though it was something that was commonly used). The Germans use panzerfausts which can be devastating against a Sherman. I'm anal about this stuff, so I appreciate when this is done right in a movie.
Though my review is mostly positive, I did have some issues with the movie. Not sure if I would call this 'bad', but the tank crew is portrayed as battle-hardened and are generally callous and grim. I'm sure this was done on purpose, but I had a hard time empathizing with them as a result. They don't do anything really wrong, they're just not very sympathetic. The movie itself bogs down while the crew is in a German town interacting with some of the locals. More of a 'quibble' then a complaint, but the ending battle scene may have been a little too "over the top". I'm pretty sure it was fairly easy for infantry to take out a stationary, disabled tank in short order. Oh, and if you don't like 'grim and gritty' you probably won't like Fury (I personally like 'grim and gritty' so had no problem with the films overall tone).
Overall, I'd give the movie a thumbs up, or a 3.5 out of 5.
PEGANA: A Campaign World for a Pulp-style Fantasy Campaign
As I mentioned in a previous post, I had been reading (and re-reading) a lot of pulp fantasy of late. Not just Lovecraft and Howard, but Clark Ashton Smith and Lord Dunsany. The reading has inspired me to run a 'dungeon crawl' fantasy campaign based on the works of HPL, Lord Dunsany, Clark Ashton Smith and others. The world the campaign would take place in would be a version of Lovecraft's Dreamlands with a heavy dose of Smith's Hyperborea and Zothique, as well as Dunsany's "worlds" (I named the world after Dunsany's Pegana). Where appropriate I've added my own elements and place names. I'm certainly not the first one to do this. Chaosium's version of HPL's Dreamlands has some Clark Ashton Smith while the artist Jason Thompson created a Dreamlands map with elements and place names from both Smith and Dunsany. However, I found Chaosium's version of the Dreamlands too sparse and the map created by Jason Thompsan – while excellent – was too abstract for gaming. I wanted to map a world that I thought my players would want to game in, a world both different and familiar.
The map below is what I've come up with. The map is done is Photoshop and I used a number of different graphic elements:
- The forests and certain symbols are from brushes created by StarRaven, which can be found at this link: (http://starraven.deviantart.com/art/Sketchy-Cartography-Brushes-198264358)
- Banners and other images are stock art by Outland Arts. Some artwork copyright William McAusland, used with permission.
- Certain images are clip art in the public domain.
- Other images were drawn by yours truly and scanned in.
Please let me know what you think of the map. Are their items I should add? Are there graphic elements you would change?

Finance executives who look upon the conversion to IFRS as merely a technical exercise are on the verge of making a big mistake, writes Steve Arnold, CPA. "It may bring companywide changes that will spawn new risks," he writes. "These include system changes, modifications to processes impacting employees' day-to-day duties, and new accounting policies."

The Hazara Shia community of Quetta buried their dead on Wednesday; almost three-and-a-half days after 100 of them were killed in a blast in the provincial capital. The mass burial took place amid continuing protests by some women of the community who wanted the army to take control of the province in the hope that this would end the targeted attacks on Hazara Shias.
The funeral became even more tense following aerial firing. And though the dead have been buried, the protests are continuing as some members of the community do not want to give up the momentum that they have managed to muster for their mobilization against the "genocide''.
Though a targeted operation against sectarian terror outfits began on Tuesday morning and the Hazara community leadership announced the end of their siege in the evening, many of those who had been picketing a thoroughfare of Quetta since Sunday morning with the bodies of those killed refused to budge. They insisted that the Army take control of security of the city in view of repeated attacks on the community.
The deadlock was broken late in the wee hours of Wednesday after lengthy negotiations between the community leadership and family members. Still, some women wrapped themselves around the coffins in the morning in an attempt to continue with the protest as they feared that all assurances from the government would again come to naught.
In particular, the youngsters of the community were incensed; pointing out that similar assurances of action had been made in January also -- when over 80 Hazara Shias were killed in serial blasts - but there was no follow-up. This is the second time in a month-and-a-half that the Hazara Shia community of Quetta has taken to the streets with their dead to protest targeted attacks that have been stepped up since January.

VIDEO: The Floating Metropolis That Could Support Brazil's Offshore Oil Rigs
In Brazil, the offshore oil mining industry is expanding. Unfortunately for oil companies though, it's expanding away from the coast, as new oil deposits are found further and further from land – so far, in fact, that they're outside the range of the helicopters that usually transport workers to and from the rigs. That's why Rice University students took on the challenge of designing "Drift & Drive," a floating community where workers and their families could stay for extended periods of time, eliminating the inconvenience of the usual "two weeks on, two weeks off" cycle.
The project won the Odebrecht Award last year, and now one of the largest petrochemical companies in Brazil, Petrobras, is working on a plan to implement elements of the design.

Exhibition / Brazil: Night & Day, by Photographer Andrew Prokos
Among last year's winners of the International Photography Awards Competition, were some fantastic night photographs of Oscar Niemeyer's Brasilia taken by architectural photographer Andrew Prokos. The awarded photos, and more photographs taken by Andrew in Brazil, will be exhibited in "Brazil: Night & Day", at Banco do Brasil, 11 W 42nd St., New York.
Sponsored by Banco do Brasil and the Year of Brazil at Queens College, CUNY, the exhibition will include photographs from Niemeyer's Brasilia, panoramic cityscapes of Rio de Janeiro at night, landscapes from Rio's Botanical Gardens, and Rio street scenes. It will be on display from April 3 to April 25.

RE: Kunming-Hong Kong-Beijing-Kunming
a) There're no direct trains from Kunming to Hong Kong. You might be better off taking the train to Guangzhou and then changing to one that goes to Hong Kong from there. K363/K366 goes to Guangzhou main train station and K229/K232 goes to Guangzhou (East) train station. The latter will be preferable as the trains to Hong Kong leave from Guangzhou (East) train station, and the fare will be 330/341/353 RMB for hard sleeper and 517/539 RMB for soft sleeper. I don't think taking a bus for such a long journey is advisable.
b) I think the fare for the international train from Hong Kong to Beijing will be about 600+ HKD for a sleeper.
c) T61 train goes from Beijing to Kunming in a bit under 40 hours. It's 539/558/578 RMB for hard sleeper and 852/890 RMB for soft sleeper.
d) I hope you already know that you need a double-entry visa for China for your proposed route. I've no idea if you need a visa to Hong Kong as you didn't specify your passport nationality.

"Even today, the non-partisan Government Accountability Office informs Congress that CMS refuses to provide reports on 13 Healthcare.gov 'security incidents' for its audit of efforts taken by CMS to ensure the site's security. What vulnerabilities to sensitive personal information is CMS still so intent on hiding from an independent government auditor?," said Chairman Darrell Issa. "The new report offers Americans insight into how this Administration secretly responded to known security vulnerabilities while plotting to keep the truth from the American people."
"We are very pleased that the NFL and the Players Association have reached a final agreement on a performance-enhancing drug policy, which includes the implementation of HGH testing in the coming weeks. This new HGH policy sends a clear message to NFL players, as well as student-athletes at the collegiate, high school, and youth levels that HGH and other performance-enhancing drugs are highly dangerous and will not be tolerated in athletic competition. While the League and the Players remain in negotiations on a new substance abuse policy for non-performance enhancing drugs, we look forward to continuing to work with the parties to reach a comprehensive agreement."
"With Inspectors General facing obstruction by agencies, this legislation provides much-needed tools to our independent watchdogs as they work to reduce agency waste and mismanagement. The provision of testimonial subpoena authority will enhance the ability of Inspectors General to conduct thorough audits and investigations. This reform sends a message of congressional support for full and timely compliance with the important work of Inspectors General, and I thank my colleagues for their support."
"In order to enroll beneficiaries in the exchange, HealthCare.gov collects, obtains and retains massive amounts of personally identifiable information about millions of Americans. This information includes Social Security numbers, personal addresses, income and employment records, and tax return records. It is extremely important that CMS and the other federal agencies involved in the exchanges properly protect and maintain this sensitive information," the leaders write in a letter to the administration. "However, yesterday's GAO report and the recent hacking of HealthCare.gov indicate that CMS is failing to perform this fundamental obligation."
"Even as the Congressional investigation of IRS targeting continues, we have already evidence of abuses that necessitate reform. Congressman Tim Walberg's bill, the SES Accountability Act, cracks down on abuses such as the practice of giving officials being fired for misconduct an extended vacation on paid administrative leave. Under Congressman Walberg's proposal, senior leaders like IRS targeting figure Lois Lerner, would be required to repay taxpayers for salary received while on paid administrative leave if they are ultimately fired for misconduct. Congressman Mark Meadows' Federal Records Accountability Act clarifies the law so that when an official like Lois Lerner willfully fails to follow procedures for archiving her work-related communications, it is understood to constitute intentional destruction of federal records that will subject the official to both termination and criminal prosecution. I also commend Congressman Charles Boustany of the House Ways & Means Committee for his bills that protect taxpayer rights. These new protections help level the playing field between taxpayers and the IRS officials who can turn their lives inside out through abusive audits and enhanced scrutiny.
"The Oversight Committee Minority has yet again shown the American people that they're not capable of conducting the oversight that is a necessary part of good government," said Chairman Issa. "This Committee attempted to pursue the Minority's expressed desire to see evidence of wrongdoing and exhaust other options of looking at White House coordination of problematic political activity, but it's clear that the Minority's claims of interest in real oversight are hollow.
"The so-called 'most transparent administration in history' has given Congress inconsistent information since the beginning of the targeting scandal," said Chairman Issa. "First, the Administration denied that targeting was occurring, and then 'rogue agents' in a field office were blamed for the misconduct. Today, months into the congressional investigation, we're still getting conflicting information. This time, it's on the number of individuals who experienced email losses. First it was only Lois Lerner, now we learn there are 5 others, several months after the administration supposedly came clean about email losses. Another source, TIGTA, tells Congress there are at least 8 individuals who may have lost emails. Initially, IRS said it confirmed that the email back-up tapes were recycled, but now TIGTA tells us that there are 760 unsearched exchange server drives. The IRS's ever-changing story is practically impossible to follow at this point, as they modify it each time to accommodate new facts.
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) today announced that Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner must testify at the Oversight Committee on September 18th, 2014. This comes as news reports reveal that a hacker has breached the Healthcare.gov insurance website. "Considering…
"Even after a judge issues an order, this Administration continues to pursue a strategy of delay and obstruction against Constitutionally mandated oversight and the principle of transparency," said Chairman Issa. "Reckless conduct in a Justice Department operation contributed to the deaths of a Border Patrol agent and countless Mexican citizens, but this Administration continues to fight making a full account of what it knew and when it knew it – not to mention why and how it came to make false statements to Congress about its conduct. The House of Representatives will vigorously oppose this new effort by the Justice Department to stay a judge's order and its threat to delay the proceeding with piecemeal appeals if the request is not granted."
"It appears that NRDC's unprecedented access to high-level EPA officials allowed it to influence EPA policy decisions and achieve its own private agenda. Such collusive activities provide the NRDC, and their financial backers, with an inappropriate opportunity to wield the broad powers of the executive branch," the Members wrote. "The fact that an ideological and partisan group drafted a rule that places a tremendous cost on everyday Americans through increased electricity prices is harmful and outrageous….Accordingly, these practices must cease immediately."

Union Finance Minister P.Chidambaram Saturday said that the Congress' biggest fault was that it did not expound its achievements.
Addressing a meeting here, he said the party "did not trumpet its achievements" even as the country saw nine percent growth in the last 10 years.
Chidambaram said the party was behind the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, due to which there is no hunger in the country.
He also charged the media of suppressing the central government's achievements.
Taking a dig at AIADMK saying it the "B team" of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Chidambaram urged the DMK not to support the BJP government at the centre.
He said the Congress party prefers a youngster called Rahul Gandhi as the country's prime minister.

The Girl From F&B: A Portrait of the New India
When I first met Esther, she was confident about her F&B work. She said she was better at the work than many of her peers. She knew the menu inside out, knew what to suggest to customers and how to serve the food correctly. Even when she talked about quarreling with the manager, that was part of her ambition, of wanting to become an assistant manager.
These days Esther spoke differently about her job. "I wanted to be a doctor, not this F&B. Sometimes, I want to go back home, but what is there back home? If I go home, what will I do? But this job has no security, no pension." She told me that she had taken an exam for a government schoolteacher's job in Imphal. The salary would start at 14,000 rupees ($315), and it came with benefits like a pension, and afforded more security than a job in F&B. Her mother was a schoolteacher too, and what Esther sometimes wanted, after all her independence, striving, exposure and mobility, was a simple repetition of her mother's life.
"My mother wants me to take the job if I get it," Esther said. "I got through the exam, but the interview is still left. I'll take the train home, which will take three days, give the interview, get back on the train for another three days and come back to this F&B. If I get the interview call, that is." She began talking about home. "You know, once I flew home to Imphal, and my parents came to get me at the airport. They had become so old that it was painful to see them. I feel scared about them. I think, Kitna din wo rahega? How long will they be alive? My mother has a nerve problem; she shakes her head like this." Esther demonstrated how her mother's head shook. "My father has memory loss sometimes. And me, after all these years in Delhi, I have 42 rupees in my bank account. At times I'm fed up. I think I'll go back. At least I won't have to pay rent in Imphal. Then sometimes, I think I won't go back to Imphal but maybe just get out of Delhi. I want to go to Simla."
I remembered that I used to feel that way when I lived in Munirka, when I felt the need to get out of the city and went for a brief holiday to the nearby hills of Uttaranchal or Himachal Pradesh. But Esther didn't have that option. "I haven't been able to go to Simla even for a week's holiday," she said. "I made plans so many times, but every time I had to cancel. At work, I sometimes get sick of the people I am serving. Sometimes, there are fights at the station because no one wants to go and serve a party that's come in. Everyone can tell they'll be difficult. Once, a Korean couple left a 2 rupee coin for us as a tip. At least that allowed us to have a good laugh. Last night a party of Delhi ladies came in. They ordered the Indian appetizer platter. The platter weighs two and a half kilos. I had to hold it with one hand, while with my other hand I held the tongs with which to pick up the food. My back was hurting, the platter was so heavy, and when I got to the ladies, none of them would let me put food on her plate. They were doing that Indian thing, 'Pehle aap, pehle aap. No, no, serve her first.' And so I would go to the next lady, who would refuse and send me on to the next one, and it went on and on until I was so sick of all of them."
Esther had begun looking for other jobs, even in Delhi. She wanted something that offered permanence and regular hours, something that demanded less of her body and was not as susceptible to the whims of rich customers. On the last day I met her at the Barista cafe, she told me that she knew a man who was a member of Parliament.
He was from the Congress Party in Agra, she said, one of the youngest MPs in the country. She had come to know the man through his Mizo girlfriend, and he had hinted that he might be able to get her a job in the Parliament.
It was a possibility that excited Esther, but she was worried that he might ask for a bribe in exchange for the job. She was expecting to meet with him later that afternoon. "If he wants money, I'll have to say no. I don't have any money," she said. Esther decided to call the MP to find out when he wanted to meet.
The conversation was brief. "You're too busy today?" she said. "You want me to try again in a few days?" She put the phone down and shrugged. "Sometimes, I really regret why I joined F&B," she went on. "My elder brother wanted me to study further and get a job with the central government. Sometimes I think I want to do that, study something, maybe get an MBA through correspondence. But that would cost me at least 80,000 rupees ($1,800). And the problem is that now I know the taste of money, I cannot go back to the student life. I called a friend recently who works in Taj Mansingh. She's also fed up with F&B. But we were talking, and I got scared. If I change jobs, what if, in the future, I regret leaving F&B?"
I dropped Esther off in front of the mall and watched as she vanished inside that vast building. It was nearly dusk, and the lights were on everywhere, each luxury-brand logo carved out on the wall bathed in its own glow. When I went home, I decided to look up the Congress MPs from Agra to find out more about the man who had held out the prospect of a job in the Parliament for Esther. It would be nice if it came true, I thought—if a young woman from the border provinces who is smart, hard-working and good ended up working in the building that was the symbol of India's democracy.
I looked for a long time on the Internet, sifting through the names, parties and constituencies of the various MPs. There were no young Congress MPs from Agra.
No one at all with the name Esther had given me.

We love it with...
Amy - Boho Glam is rated out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by izzy14 from Great color! I agree with the other reviewers regarding the color... Except in my opinion it looks great on darker skin as well. Ok so I used the Nail Therapy base coat... One coat of Amy and one of Clio. Then I topped it with the polymer. Got great results. It was thick so it should last a while. Really pretty.

Rated 4 out of 5 by rebeccabr from love this color I've been eyeing turquoise polish for quite some time and decided to give Amy a try. The application was wonderful. Its creamy without being too thick. Full opaque coverage in just two coats. It dried wonderfully and has such shine. Its definitely an "outside the box" color for me, but the more I have it on, the more I love it. Its not too bright and bubble-gummy, has grey undertones so its more toned down.

Rated 5 out of 5 by iamsrah from Beautiful color! Received in a mystery box and I am in love! It's the first one I put on when I opened it. It's creamy and shiney, easy to apply. Dried super quick, and didn't stain my nails! Which was good cause I forgot to put a base coat on. Amy is almost a candy coloured turquoise blue, not too baby like and not too BAM! Love, love, love!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tanzy from Beautiful rich color This was the first Julep polish I ever bought and one of my most favorites. The color is like a smokey turquoise creme. Application is great. Dries fast although a little thick. I think the color is best on lighter skin tones. I have light skin and this looks good on me, not like other blues which seem garish. It's subtle, not too bright but not flat either. A good neutral color.

Indian women drive surge in wine consumptionIndian Wine Market Outlook to 2015 – Surging Demand by Women News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/529492/indian-women-drive-surge-in-wine-consumption http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/000001fa2/f537_orh100000w160/India-05-07-09-Rai-Wine7Olive.jpg http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/000001fa2/9a87/India-05-07-09-Rai-Wine7Olive.jpg

Consumption has grown nearly 25% in the last five years, according to Indian Wine Market Outlook to 2015 – Surging Demand by Women published by a private marketing company AM Mindpower Solutions in New Delhi.
Indians consumed some 620,000 cases in 2005 but the figure has risen to 2.33m cases so far in 2011. Wine consumption is expected to reach 6.88m cases by 2015, according to the report.
Women are driving that increase, said Ankur Gupta, head of marketing for the company.
Wine consumption among women throughout India has increased by 28.7% in the last 5 years as compared to a 17.3% surge in demand from males, especially in metropolitan areas.
Gupta told Decanter.com that women are drinking more wine because they consider it a 'sophisticated drink' that 'raises their stature in social gatherings.'
Increased financial independence of middle class women are also driving demand, as they can more easily 'indulge in social events at bars and at restaurants,' Gupta said.
Red wine accounts for 51% of all wine consumption in India, but more than two out of three women prefer red over other wines because they see red wine as an antioxidant that has several health benefits, Gupta added.
