Quote of the Day: Lance Berkman on danger
Oct 22, 2012, 8:22 AM EDT
As in, he still thinks the Cardinals have the most dangerous lineup for Game 7 even without Matt Holliday playing:
"We've won all year without me, and without Pujols," Berkman said Sunday, after the Cardinals' 6-1 loss in Game 6. "I'll probably get roasted for saying this, but you take a guy like Matt out of our lineup, we're still more dangerous [than the Giants].
"No disrespect, I still like our lineup better."
Cardinals runs scored so far: 19. Giants: 26. Cardinals LCS batting line: .219/.267/.327, Giants LCS batting line: .241/.303/.329.
Maybe the Cardinals are theoretically more dangerous than the Giants are, but they haven't been this series. Neither team has really.

Lots of folks here in Texas like Lance Berkman, I guess because of his Houston connection, but I'm not one of them.
He seems like he plays, and talks, when it's most convenient to him.
- stex52 - Oct 22, 2012 at 8:31 AM
Suggesting pretty strongly to me that you don't know much about Lance Berkman. Go check his career stats.
- stex52 - Oct 22, 2012 at 8:29 AM
That's because playoffs are about the quality of your top four pitchers. There is no question about who has the stronger overall hitting lineup. But the Giants' pitchers have stepped up.
- bleed4philly - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:03 AM
The giants are going to pull this off with their ace in the tank. One lucky team just ran into a luckier one. As much as I would've liked to see the Nats in it, figures you can't shut down your ace and expect luck to carry you through the postseason.
- Old Gator - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:07 AM
Are we going to drag this nonsensical argument out again? Strassburg wouldn't have been on the mound when Drew Storen choked in any circumstances, and most teams who have lost playoffs had aces on the mound but lost anyway. It's a totally hypothetical and otherwise pointless observation.
- kiwicricket - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:05 AM
The broadcast had some figure about when the Card's lost, they were something like 0-24 with RISP. Pretty incredible. Boom or bust as far as the lineup goes.
- DelawarePhilliesFan - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:11 AM
At least he didn't say "Anyone who thinks we can't win without Matt Holliday can kiss my press pass"
- willclarkgameface - Oct 22, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Berkman looks fat and ready for the Early Bird AARP special in that photo.
I like the Giants tonight.
- nogoodtomedead - Oct 22, 2012 at 10:53 AM
Yeah- he's probably right- the St. Louis lineup does look better on paper. So did the Phillies and Rangers lineups in 2010. He's always hated San Francisco- I remember a few years ago when he was a free agent he said he would never sign with SF because he hated the politics of the city. What a redneck. Go Giants.
- nogoodtomedead - Oct 22, 2012 at 11:14 AM
And one more thing- I don't know how much I believe in the notion of "bulletin board material"- and frankly if you aren't already fired up for a Game 7 then something is wrong- but why would a guy who has played no part in this series and isn't going to be around to help in game 7 even open his mouth like this?
- koufaxmitzvah - Oct 22, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Something nefarious like being asked a question by a reporter who is looking to file a story, I am sure.
- stlouis1baseball - Oct 22, 2012 at 2:39 PM
Because when someone asks Lance Berkman a question he gives his honest answer.
The dude is the opposite of "cookie cutter."
It's why reporters seek him out. They ask…he answers.
I happen to think it's refreshing with today's "p.c. correct…cookie cutter" mentality.
- koufaxmitzvah - Oct 22, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Not just rednecks from Texas. Plenty of Hollywood liberal whackos would sooner vomit over themselves than put on that Giants jersey.
You're right! Generalities are fun!
- stex52 - Oct 22, 2012 at 11:30 AM
I wouldn't take it too personally. He's a real Texas homeboy. It pretty much took a crowbar to get him to play anywhere else, including even the Cards.
He's a well-liked guy, but yeah, redneck isn't too far off.
- stlouis1baseball - Oct 22, 2012 at 2:44 PM
Absolutely Suzie. The funny part is a lot of these tools have no idea that a "redneck" isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's like they automatically assume it has negative conotations.
Of course…"when you never the leave the half pipe dude…it's hard to think outside the box dude."
I mean…"ride the waves man. They are narly…dude." Then…let's put on our hemp made flip flops and skate on down to the pro shop…dude. Ride on…toke up…it's narly.
Yeah…stereotypes are great!
- materialman80 - Oct 22, 2012 at 11:36 AM
Sure wish Lance was healthy and in the lineup tonight.
- onehokiefan - Oct 23, 2012 at 12:22 AM
Blah, Blah, Blah…….thats all Berkman does…..fatboy talkin smack. Well now his Cards, who are so bada** can join him.

Serious Cheese: Pairing Chocolate and Cheese for Valentine's Day
"Chocolate and cheese are both super-rich foods, and a little goes a long way. Savor every bite and go for quality over quantity." Ever since a college friend baked a bar of fine Swiss dark chocolate between two halves of a wheel of Brie, I've been intrigued and a little obsessed with the idea of pairing chocolate and cheese. It's tougher to get right than, say, pairing fruit and cheese, and sometimes it's downright nasty, but when you do get a good match, it can be truly sublime. And it also happens to be a really nice way to end a special Valentine's Day meal with two of the greatest foods humans ever created.... More

Cardamom, Whole Green, Organic
Cardamom can enhance both sweet and savory tastes and is used in everything from Indian Garam Masalas and curries, to Scandinavian cakes, pastries and breads. The small pods resemble puffed-up pumpkin seeds and are one of the most ancient and highly valued spices. They can easily be slit open with a fingernail and contain clusters of about 10 sticky black seeds, which is the source of most of cardamom's flavor and aroma. The pods may be cooked whole and will soften in heat and liquid, but the casings are not usually consumed.

For USI dean, Evansville Museum art show is a special community showcase
USI dean's work part of Evansville Museum showcase
EVANSVILLE - USI dean's work part of Evansville Museum showcase
By Roger McBain
812-464-7450 firstname.lastname@example.com
Michael Aakhus taught his last studio art classes in 2006, the year after he became associate dean of the University of Southern Indiana's College of Liberal Arts.
Today, as dean of the college, Aakhus has no time to teach, but he still enjoys painting large, intensely colored canvasses and showing them in gallery exhibitions and museum shows.
Aakhus will show two oil paintings, both inspired by his travels to Peru, in the Evansville Museum's 26th annual showcase of work by Evansville's college art teachers.
"East/West/North: A Collaboration" will open Sunday, featuring 43 works by 26 art faculty members at the University of Evansville, the University of Southern Indiana and Ivy Tech Community College.
For Aakhus, whose resume lists scores of solo and group exhibitions in the United States, England, Australia, New Zealand, China and Mexico during his 35 years at USI, this is a special show.
"It's an opportunity to share what I do with the community," he said. It's also a rare opportunity to show his work as part of the community of artists who teach, not only at USI, but UE and Ivy Tech.
Colleges and universities everywhere put up shows featuring their own faculty's work, but rarely do they collaborate with other schools in a museum exhibition like this, Aakhus said.
"I think it's a terrific idea. It's a wonderful opportunity (for artists at all three institutions) to get together to show and to look at each other's work."
Coming together each year in the show has helped promote a mutual appreciation among artists from different schools. As the show has evolved, "there's a kind of camaraderie comes out of that affiliation," said Aakhus, who has worked on projects with artists and graduates from both USI and UE.
The exhibition, which will remain on exhibit at the Evansville Museum through Nov. 25, includes 22 pieces by 14 USI faculty members, 14 works by seven UE teachers and eight pieces by five Ivy Tech instructors.
Media include drawing, painting, photography, digital, ceramics, mixed media, found media and interactive media. The artists' subject matter ranges from still life to figures to landscape to architecture.
"This exhibition, made possible by the Evansville Museum Contemporaries, shows the best of contemporary art by those who are forming the creative spirit of the next generation of artists," said Mary Bower, the museum's curator of collections.

Indonesia sold $3 billion of government bonds in late February: $1 billion of 5-year bonds and $2 billion of 10-year bonds. The bonds were priced at issue to yield 10.5 percent and 11.75 percent, which at the time represented new issue premia — the added inducement to attract buyers to new bond issues — of 110 basis points and 75 bp, respectively.
The bonds' subsequent rally has more than eliminated the new issue premia. In the last week of March they were yielding 8.81 percent and 10.08 percent, respectively.
The rally is even more impressive in price terms. For the five-year bonds maturing in 2014, the new Indonesia 14s, the price is up nearly 7 percent to just over $106 for every $100 of face value of bonds. The price of the new Indonesia 19s, which mature in 2019, is up 10 percent to $109.50.
From the narrow historical perspective of the last month, our title seems wrong. In view of the last month's price appreciation, potential investors may be thinking that the title should be "Indonesian Government US Dollar Bonds Are Too Expensive."
A wider historical perspective, however, is needed to see the title's truth. Consider the bonds of the Philippines, which has a similar Moody's/S&P sovereign credit rating, "B1/BB-", to Indonesia's "Ba3/BB-". Philippine 14s, the Philippine counterparts to the Indonesia 14s, currently yield about 5.15 percent. Philippine 19s yield about 6.92 percent. Bond investors evidently view Indonesia as much riskier than the Philippines judging by the three to four percent yield spread they require to take Indonesian 5-year or 10-year government risk over Philippine risk.
The perception that Indonesia is more risky than the Philippines is most evident in the cost of buying default insurance. If investors want to insure themselves against the risk of an Indonesian sovereign default they must pay $56,000 annually for every $1,000,000 of insurance on bonds that they buy. For the Philippines, this charge is only $36,000.
It was not always like this. Up until the Panic of 2008 erupted in September 2008, the cost of insuring against an Indonesian default was the same as insuring against a Philippine default.
From this historical perspective the question is: Did the Panic of 2008 so badly affect the Indonesian economy relative to that of the Philippines to warrant a permanently higher cost of default protection?
We do not think so. For many reasons we think Indonesian financial assets, including the cost of sovereign default protection, the rupiah and domestic interest rates, are more vulnerable during times like the Panic of 2008 than their Philippine counterparts.
A principal reason is Indonesia's experience during the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis. We think that episode left a lasting, unfavorable impression on foreign and especially domestic investors about Bank Indonesia's ability and commitment to stabilizing the rupiah. When panics do occur, even if they have nothing to do with Indonesia as was the case last year, lingering doubts about BI drive investors to hedge rupiah risk by buying dollars and contagion spreads to other assets.
Economists emphasize the importance of credibility for a central bank. A credible bank will find that its pronouncements carry more weight than those of a bank that lacks credibility. The mere mention of a policy change by a credible central bank can effect the desired change in peoples' behavior without it actually having to implement the policy. Economists know less about how central banks acquire credibility. We know from BI's experience since the Asian financial crisis that once credibility is lost it takes a long time to restore it.
BI is restoring its credibility. It has been active in the foreign exchange market to contain excessive volatility in the rupiah during periods of panic selling. Foreign exchange reserves declined by $5.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008, which we think was as a result of the central bank's intervention to stabilize the rupiah-dollar exchange rate.
BI and the government also moved to reduce the economy's vulnerability during periods of stress in global financial markets. BI data show that Indonesian corporations must roll over or repay $22.6 billion of debt this year. Under normal circumstances, the country's $50 billion of forex reserves would be a sufficient buffer, but the authorities recognized that during panics they may not be. The authorities established a $4 billion contingency facility using contributions from the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the Japanese International Cooperation Agency. They also have moved to expand their bilateral swap arrangements, including a $6 billion arrangement with Japan that Indonesia may draw on without any conditions.
Indonesia will benefit from the reopening of global capital markets. Like the restoration of a central bank's credibility, this will be a process, not an event. But the process has begun.
Indonesia and the Philippines have made successful forays into the global bond market this year. So have Korea's policy banks. As the global capital market unfreezes, it will become easier for the debt of Indonesia's corporations to be rolled over and/or repaid without dipping into the country's forex reserves.
The relative increase in Indonesian sovereign bond credit spreads was a product of the Panic of 2008. As the panic fades, its side-effects will too. Indonesian bonds have gone up a lot in price. They're going up even more.

The Posture of Gratitude Week of April 27-May 2 , 2014
$650.00 – $3,550.00 (based on accommodation type)This workshop's start date has passed.
Workshop Details
We can think of each of the yoga postures as a metaphor or an archetype embodied in physical posture: it may be the hero's pose or the warrior, the eagle, or the posture of the sage. The practice of yoga clearly reflects the multiple layers of human existence, and it gives us a way of being in the world and in the life of spirit — alma — or soul. By doing the physical practice of asana (postures) and the breathing practice of pranayama, we are able to open the inner doors of understanding and potentially access the deeper meaning of our lives. Over time, the practitioner of yoga is deeply sobered, seeing with tremendous clarity the reality of his or her own mind, body, and soul. It is not unusual to traverse a broad plane of darkness and light, hope and despair, a lack of self-love and a growing, deep, inner acceptance. Over and over again, the student of yoga finds himself in a heartfelt place of humility and kindness. This is the focus of our week of yoga practice: pranayama, meditation, active and restorative practice in the context of self-love, mutual acceptance, introspection, fun, and play.
Please have at least 3 months of yoga experience, and bring a yoga mat.

text: The Super Monday Night Combat wiki last edited by BeachThunder on 08/22/14 04:10PM View full history OverviewMonday Night Combat, now with crazy skins and characters!Super Monday Night Combat (frequently known as Super MNC) is a free-to-play class-based third-person shooter developed and released by Uber Entertainment for the PC on Steam. The sequel to Monday Night Combat, the game adds new characters and environments while reformatting the gameplay, placing a heavier emphasis on the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena elements (while removing the Tower Defense elements). Super Monday Night Combat is still set in the previous game's futuristic game show environment and focuses on it's predecessor's Crossfire mode (now known as Super Crossfire), where two teams of players (Pros) defend their "Moneyball" from computer-controlled robots (Bots).Super Monday Night Combat also includes a microtransaction system, where players can buy new Pros, uniforms, taunts, weapon skins, flair, and temporary Combat Credit boosts with real money. Players also can purchase new Pros, Endorsements (which buffs statistics while sometimes nerfing other statistics), and Products (special perks) with Combat Credits, which are earned by playing matches. Generally, six Pros are available for free, with a different set available each week, with purchased Pros always available to the player.GameplaySuper MNC places a heavier emphasis on the MOBA genre, while retaining much of its shooter-style elements. Games are 5 on 5, with each player selecting a pro and upgrading him or her throughout the course of the game. The goal of the game is for a team to lead their bots to the enemy's base to remove their Moneyball shields, and then subsequently destroy the enemy's Moneyball.Maps feature two bot paths, through which both teams (Hotshots/Red and Icemen/Blue) will have their own bots automatically travel and fight any enemy Pros or Bots they come across. There are also three types of neutral bots, which spawn in a separate floor of the arena (generally called the "jungle") denoted by their black/gray color scheme, which will attack any Pro they come across. Most enemy bots give a marginal amount of EXP and money on death, and neutral bots give a greater amount. Bots drop money in the form of coins, as well as powerups such as Churros (healing items), Pads (shield boosts), Juice, and rarely, Bacon, which buffs a Pro significantly until death. Juice, when full, can be used to break grapples, grant massive HP regeneration and unlimited critical hits for a limited period. Health also regenerates automatically without juice, albeit slowly; critical hits also happen randomly for any Pro at a base rate of 7%.The game begins with every Pro at level 1. As Pros gain money, they level up ($1 = 1 EXP). Each level grants increased health and improves damage ratings, the effectiveness of your attacks against the 3 different enemy types: bots, turrets and pros. The higher the rating the more damage you deal to enemies of that type. Leveling up will also award you with a single skill point to be spent in one of 5 areas- the respective Pro's three unique skills, an offensive skill to increase weapon damage and a defensive skill that increases total health and increases speed.Money is also stored in a separate counter (meaning getting $1 fills both the money counter and the EXP bar). Players can spend the money they've acquired on various buffs (Juice, regen, and movement speed), more bots that have various abilities, or two different environmental hazards- Ejectors (which knock back, slow down and damage enemy Pros in its affected area, and heavily damage bots in the same area), or the Annihilator, which destroys every enemy bot on the field and heavily damages enemy Pros. As the Annihilator is so powerful, it is on a 5 minute cooldown, costs $1000, and takes approximately five seconds to activate.Each bot path has turrets along it, which are shielded until an enemy bot damages it. Once the shield is down, Pros can damage the turret and take it out. The first set of turrets are level 2 laser turrets, the the middle set(s) are level 3 laser turrets, and the last set are level 3 rocket turrets. Each turret grants $100 to every enemy pro when killed.In order to keep games from becoming a stalemate, once a match passes 25 minutes the game will automatically spawn Jackbot XLs (which usually only spawn when a Moneyball goes down) to expedite the action.Bullseye, the MNC MascotMNC's classic characters return. Bullseye, Juicebot and Chickey Cantor return and appear in the jungle with the neutral bots. Bullseye and Juicebot will drop powerups and award money when shot. Chickey acts like a boss that grants a buff and healing to the entire team of the teammate that kills him. The commentator from the original Monday Night Combat, Mickey Cantor, has been replaced by two new personalities; GG Stack and former combatant Chip Valvano.Because SMNC places a heavier emphasis on the MOBA genre, Pros that are higher level than another will have an advantage, as they will have better overall stats, as well as more skill points to spend. As killing an enemy Pro nets cash/experience, it's much more important in SMNC to not die to enemies, lest they outlevel the other team and win because of it.Recently added to the game is TurboCross, a game style which is similar to the original Monday Night Combat in that it's a faster paced and more arcade style game as turrets can be healed and rebuilt when destroyed, pros can be killed more easily, and the player does not improve their damage ratings upon leveling up. The objective of destroying the opposing team's Moneyball is still in effect, however.Players earn credits and Agent EXP for each game they play, earning more for wins and less for losses, and a bonus for each first win of the day they obtain. These credits can be used to buy Endorsements and Products, which give buffs (and debuffs for some Endorsements, depending on the Endorsement's effectiveness) to the Pro the player uses. Endorsements must be slotted before they can be used, and more slots are unlocked as the player gains more Agent EXP and levels up. Everyone can slot three different Products, and some Products do not activate until the player reaches a certain level in a match. Three Products are provided by default. Credits are also used to unlock Pros, offering alternatives to playing the free Pros rotated out for free with every update (usually every Thursday).At the end of every game, there is a random chance (a die is rolled every number of minutes, with increases chances with larger gaps between unsuccessful rolls) that a player will get a random Endorsement, Product, Taunt, Weapon Skin, Piece of Flair, or Gear Piece. This presents an alternative to grinding out Endorsements/Products, or buying Taunts/Weapon Skins/Gear/Flair and rewards players who stay until the end of the round.New StagesLoco Moco RuinsPartially inspired by DotA, Uber plans to set the game in more organic environments as opposed to the sterile stadium atmosphere of the previous game's stages.Current Stages:Bullet GorgeLoco Moco RuinsSpunky Cola DowntownGun MountainGrenade III.XIV Arena (Updated version of MNC's Grenade III Arena)Microtransactions/Payment ModelSMNC features a microtransaction system using Steam Wallet. Players can purchase Credit Boosts, Pros, Taunts, Uniforms, Flair, and Weapon skins.Due to the microtransaction system, Pros in the roster must be purchased with real money or Combat Credits. Similar to the weekly champion rotation in League of Legends, the free roster of six Pros is swapped with every game update (usually every week, but there are some exceptions). Players can still purchase combatants in the free roster for use in future updates, and can still use purchased combatants instead of those from the free roster. The free roster always includes at least one Pro of each class.ClassesAlong with the six original Pros from the original Monday Night Combat, Super Monday Night Combat adds new playable combatants to the current roster (with more characters on the way). Unlike the previous installment, teams cannot have more than one player as the same Pro.There are 5 main character classes (positions) that the Pros of SMNC fill on the battlefield:Commandos: Debuffers, closers, melee characters.Strikers: All-rounder, high mobility characters.Enforcers: Big hulking damage-sponges and close-range fighters.Defenders: Buffing, healing and otherwise support characters.Sharpshooters: Long-range damage specialists that utilize headshots to take down foes.RosterProPositionDescriptionAssassinCommandoA silent killer who uses her blade and cloaking abilities to take out foes with ease. Also can use a smoke bomb and a leap to easily escape from (or attack) opponents.AssaultStrikerA showboating charismatic man, the Assault uses an assault rifle and grenade launcher on the field.

Uses flaming lasers, his charge, a targeted shield, and a product grenade to take down enemies.VeteranEnforcerA fat, mask-wearing luchadore who can grapple enemies to him to dish out devastating melee attacks and grapples with a nail-lined stool. Also charges at enemies, automatically grappling enemy Pros.WascotCommandoAn obsessive fan of Monday Night Combat named Frank Deerford who went insane after being cut off whilst talking to Bullseye during a call-in MNC show. Now, as the evil twin of Bullseye, takes the field of battle to kill him every chance he gets. Shoots fake coins and poisoned bacon, while having the ability to counter grapples, lifesteal, fling himself to a location, and reduce enemy Pro accuracy.System RequirementsOS: XP(SP3)/Vista/Windows 7Processor: 2 GHz ProcessorMemory: 1 GB RAMGraphics: DirectX 9.0c/Shader3.0 compatible, VRAM 512 MB (NVIDIA GeForce 7800 series or ATI Radeon X1900)DirectX®: 9.0cHard Drive: 2 GB of free spaceSound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound cards

Landing Pad 11
I really like the way this setup mounts to my Mazda3 hatchback. They feel nice and sturdy, look good, and I don't worry about them moving. The only thing that I didn't like at first was the size of them. I thought they would be smaller, but once you get everything all together, they are the perfect size.

How to store completed backup job in D drive
Dear all,
Good evening.
could you please help me ...we are using backup exec 2012. i have already configured the backup alert to email.
but one of our customer doesnt want this by email. he want to store this in a common location (network drive)
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
No way to store the job log to a drive. It would be attached to an email. What you can do is set up email notification with the job log attached, but then you'd manually have to save the file to the network drive.
You can add this in as an Idea if you would like to see it implemented in future (no guarantee of this):
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
As mentioned by Craig above the job logs cant be automatically saved out to another location. You could however save them to a chosen location without having to email them you could simply open the the job log in the console and select Save As and choose your location.
note the job logs are saved by default to c:\programfiles\symantec\backupexec\data
by defaulte these logs are kept for 30 days before being deleted from the database but this can be adjusted by clicking on the Backup exec button on the top left, configuration and settings, backup exec settings, database maintenance and adjusting the job log retention field

The Balearic Islands are one of the most desirable archipelagos in Europe; the most notable islands in the chain are Mallorca, Minorca and Ibiza. The capital of the Balearic Islands, Palma de Mallorca, is a beautiful Mediterranean destination with ideal weather, picturesque sights and a vibrant nightlife, no to mention some outstanding luxury hotels and 5 star restaurants the specialise in fresh seafood and local cuisine. The city can be found in the south west of Mallorca, in the popular Bay of Palma, which is home to some of the island's most famed beaches, including Playa de Palma. Palma has been a popular destination since the 50's and is now the bustling cultural and commercial hub of Mallorca.
The city has a strong Mediterranean vibe; from streets packed with activity and entertainment to alluring cafes promoting lazy afternoons. The Old Town showcases the most authentic elements of Palma; the labyrinth of alleyways present a myriad of sights, squares where you can grab a refreshing beer and tapas bars emanating mouth-watering smells. If there's just one sight that you see on a travel tour of this island, it should be La Seu Cathedral; it is literally unmissable as it stands proud, rising above the city. Located right on the waterfront it is a magnificent building to behold. The backstreets behind Born, heading towards Placa Cort, are solely for pedestrians and are well worth walking around during the day. It's also a great place to grab a beer from one of the many bars with outdoor seating and partake in the great Mediterranean past time of people watching.
Palma has come in to prominence in recent times through its notorious nightlife. With its new found reputation it was put on the map as a top stag weekend city and its streets, riddled with bars and clubs, have quickly elevated it to one of the most favoured Spanish destinations. A wild stag do in Ibiza has long been the most popular choice for people seeking sun, sea and parties; however, Mallorca offers a great deal more, because on top of being a great destination for clubbing it's also home to plenty of contemporary shops, bars and cafes, and a nightlife devoid of inhibitions.
Whilst maintaining its charm and quaintness through the labyrinth of quiet, narrow streets which roll through the Old Town, the seaside promenade boasts some of the most exciting establishments, presenting an exciting array of options for any weekend. It has a comprehensive selection of restaurants, bars and clubs making it an ideal evening destination.
This outpost of hedonism boasts an abundance of night time activities in an awesome setting. Surrounded by sun, sea and sand, the inhibitions of the locals and tourists alike are particularly free-spirited; everyone has a great attitude and are hell-bent on having a fun time – the epitome of an epic Spanish night out. Palma boasts an exciting nightlife scene; one of the most popular areas with the locals is Sa Llotja, its venues are often bursting at the seams with energy and people. When Sa Llotja shuts down at the end of the night, it's common for everyone to pile across to Passeig Maritim to carry on the party until the small hours.

The Carnegie Club, New York City
Andrew Nagy
Posted: September 24, 2012
In this era of extreme tobacco legislation in New York City, it's reassuring to know that a real cigar bar such as The Carnegie Club—where alcohol and cigars are legally served aside one another—still exists.
Carved out of the back of Carnegie Hall by Mark Grossich's Hospitality Holdings Group in 1996, The Carnegie Club has been serving cigar enthusiasts ever since. Thanks to an exemption, the club managed to survive Mayor Michael Bloomberg's infamous workplace smoking ban that was passed in 2003, and it now represents the upper-echelon of establishments that can legally mix drink and smoke.
Recently, the club's interior underwent a series of upgrades by New York design house Goodman and Charlton. All new furniture, tables, carpets, wallpaper, window treatments and artwork have breathed new life into the space, which can accommodate around 150 guests. While the theme of The Carnegie Club still remains something like an 18th century Gothic library, three new flat-screen televisions as well as a new sound system have been added, giving the club a pleasantly distinct lounge feel.
The club makes good use of these new televisions and speakers, using them for football games and boxing matches, plus to augment the live musical acts it books so patrons can watch from anywhere in the space—a good idea, given the 25-foot tall ceilings and large mezzanine area situated above the main floor. Every Friday, a rotating list of jazz musicians plays the club. Sinatra Saturdays with Steve Maglio, an interpreter of Ol' Blue Eyes' music, is also a popular ticket.
The club has also worked with area retailer Davidoff to ramp up its cigar menu, which includes cigars from brands like Padrón (both 1926 and 1964 Series), La Flor Dominicana, Davidoff, Alec Bradley, Ashton, Nestor Miranda, Romeo y Julieta and even a house blend. While the club marks up the prices of its cigars significantly, it will waive the $10 cutting fee for any smoker who brings in a cigar with a sales receipt from an area retailer (Davidoff and De La Concha being the closest). It's tough, though, to put a price on the cost to freely smoke in a public bar.
Carnegie Club also offers an extensive drinks list. In addition to wine by the glass, the club carries an impressive array of brandies, Scotches, Bourbons, rums and beers. Additionally, a cocktail menu that includes classics like the Churchill, Mojito and Sazerac, among others, are available, along with a number of specialities specially prepared by the club.
If you're in the mood for an elegant night out, or simply want to spite Mr. Bloomberg and revel in the freedom of smoking in a public bar, remember The Carnegie Club, one of the city's finest smoking establishments.

Another fine place to smoke in city that seems to not value its cigar smokers except for their tax dollars. Looking forward to dropping in for a visit.
chris triantos — west nyack, new york, usa, — September 25, 2012 5:56am ET
Hey Andrew, I didnt read anything about a new exhaust system, did they upgrade the existing one? Last time I was there it was pretty bad, the smoke was not venting & the place was filled with smoke, my eyes started tearing up.
Andrew Nagy — September 25, 2012 3:07pm ET
@Chris - They have indeed installed an all new smoke-eater system. Very powerful.
Jonathan Weinress — October 16, 2012 6:01am ET
Firstly, thank you for the informative and very enjoyable article. However, based upon the pictures and your description of the club, I believe you might have meant the 19th century? That being said, thanks to you and Cigar Aficionado, I am without a doubt looking forward to a visit!

A fantastic place. I was in NYC on business a couple of weeks ago (visiting from New Zealand) and fancied a post-dinner cigar and whisky (or 3!), so visited on my own. I had a superb night. Great jazz band playing, incredibly friendly crowd, very wide selection of single malts available and excellent barman. In every respect a first class establishment - I'll be sure to visit when I'm next in town.

Terrible service...
I was there with a friend sitting at the bar and we were asked to leave (or pay an entrance fee) because there was some show/concert starting... We had just got drinks!!
They should have warned us when we sat down that at a certain time a ticketed event would be starting!
I used to go there once every couple months - no more!

Cosmoprof 2011 Day 2
Cosmoprof 2011 Day 2
I had an appointment with CND to try out their Shellac manicure, and you know me–I couldn't commit both hands to 14-days of wear (that's how long Shellac is supposed to wear!). I did want to try it out, though, and so I asked the lovely Kristina to do something fun and funky on the nails on my right hand. I wanted every nail to be different to maximize my time at CND, LOL! I know that when Shellac originally launched, the range of colors was rather classic/traditional, but they will launch several new shades in the fall (including the purple and teal shades I'm wearing above).
So far, I loved the process of Shellac, and if it does indeed wear for a full 14-days (or longer), it's something I would do if I was a normal (aka, not a beauty blogger) person. They do a base coat, one to two layers of color coat, and a top coat. The base coat takes 10 seconds to cure, while the color coats take two minutes. When you're done, they're done. Kristina said that she often has her first-time Shellac-ers pay her afterward, because she wants them to dig through their purse and see how it's totally dry.
On the pinky, I have Purple Purple; on the ring finger, I have Hotski to Tchotchke with Zillionaire layered over it (multifaceted flaky glitter); on the middle, I'm still trying to figure that out; on the index, it's Hot Pop Pink with loose glitter put on over the color coat and sealed with two layers of top coat (totally smooth); and in the thumb, it's Asphalt that's been buffed to make it matte and dabs of the top coat for 3D polka dots.
Better and more photos to come! Check 'em out here! The best part about the 14-day wear is that I can take photos at home under my normal lighting conditions, haha!
Have you ever had Shellac done?

This book radically revises established knowledge in comparative welfare state studies and introduces a new perspective on how religion shaped modern social protection systems. The interplay of societal cleavage structures and electoral rules produced the different political class coalitions sustaining the three welfare regimes of the Western world. In countries with proportional electoral systems the absence or presence of state–church conflicts decided whether class remained the dominant source of coalition building or whether a political logic not exclusively based on socio-economic interests (e.g. religion) was introduced into politics, particularly social policy. The political class-coalitions in countries with majoritarian systems, on the other hand, allowed only for the residual-liberal welfare state to emerge, as in the US or the UK. This book also reconsiders the role of Protestantism. Reformed Protestantism substantially delayed and restricted modern social policy. The Lutheran state churches positively contributed to the introduction of social protection programs.Read more
- Radical revision of established knowledge in comparative welfare state studies based on a combination of country case studies and comparative accounts

- Systematic inquiry into the role of the state�church conflict for social policy in advanced industrial societies
Reviews & endorsements
"Religion, Class Coalitions, and Welfare States is the most authoritative work so far on the impact of religion on welfare state development. It provides us with both a grand theoretical perspective and hugely rich analysis of how Protestantism and Catholicism meshed with politics and class in the evolution of social policies in Europe and America. This book has no rivals and is unlikely to have any for some time to come. It will have a tremendous impact on welfare state research in the coming years. This is historical and comparative social science at its very best, and Van Kersbergen and Manow deserve our thanks for putting it all together."
-Gøsta Esping-Andersen, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, BarcelonaSee more reviews
"If you think you know everything about class coalitions and social policies, think again. Kees van Kersbergen and Philip Manow's brilliant edited volume starts with the best recent work in political economy and pushes the cutting edge deep into history and contemporary policy debates. The book explains the origins and trajectories of different varieties of welfare states and traces out the roles that religion and conflicts over religion have played in the politics and political economies of advanced industrial societies. Scholars in economics, history, political science, policy studies, political economy, religion, and sociology will enjoy reading ten crisp chapters. Invite the contributors over to dinner at your own risk–they all know how to talk about politics, religion, and economics."
-Andrew C. Gould, University of Notre Dame
"This is a brilliant volume, which compels wide attention in the field of comparative politics, political economy, social policy, the welfare state and religion. It constructs a coherent account of the origins of the welfare state which integrates religious and economic cleavages, electoral rules and political institutions, in a historically grounded, theoretically tight manner. It challenges previous theories while moving the argument forward. A great book, a must read!"
-Peter Gourevitch, University of California, San Diego
"This book is an intellectual tour de force on the role of religion in the development of the modern welfare state. The editors outline an entirely new approach to the field, and the individual chapters offer a goldmine of historical research. It will become a standard reference for anyone interested in political parties and in European social, economic and political history."
-Torben Iversen, Harvard University
"This superb and highly integrated edited volume will be a central reference point for work on the role of religion in the political construction and evolution of the welfare state and more generally comparative political economy. It contains six excellent country chapters with serious historical depth. And it is structured analytically around the coalitions which Christian democratic and social democratic parties have been able to forge in different types of electoral systems, an analysis which Manow has played a large part in developing. We should be grateful to van Kersbergen and Manow for producing an unusually coherent and useful book."
-David Soskice, Duke University

The Florida House passed a proposed constitutional amendment on Wednesday that would exempt the state from implementing a key part of the federal health care law -- the requirement that everyone have health insurance or pay a fine.
The measure passed the state Senate last month and would go before voters as a ballot measure in November 2012. But Florida Democrats point out that even if it did pass, federal law supersedes the state's constitution.
Florida is one of 40 states challenging the health care law with legislation or lawsuits.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Kyle Richards Teases Season 5 of RHOBH: "It's Very Interesting" (VIDEO)
The dust has barely settled on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' wild Season 4. But it's inevitably time to start looking ahead to Season 5! And Kyle Richards reveals that the upcoming season will offer a lot of surprises.
Kyle appeared on Watch What Happens Live this week, where she and host Andy Cohen discuss Kyle's relationships with her various co-stars. Then, Andy says that he can't wait to see what happens next season.
"It's gonna be very interesting," Kyle agrees. "Things have changed a lot, and — even though there's been a big divide, and the relationships have changed a lot — I think everybody's grown a lot and learned a lot."
There's no doubt that there has been a clear divide between the ladies. It seemed at times that Lisa Vanderpump and Carlton Gebbia were on one side during the reunion, while everyone else was on the other. So it will be interesting to see where the relationships can go from here.
We're excited to find out whether Lisa and Kyle's friendship can move forward, not to mention whether Brandi and Lisa can ever be in the same room again. Hurry up and get here, Season 5!
What are you hoping to see happen in Season 5? And are you hoping for any casting changes?

ABOARD USS JOHN C. STENNIS, March 6, 2007 Navy, Marine Corps and Army personnel are working side by side aboard the USS John C. Stennis Strike Group supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
The Stennis Strike Group is afloat in the 5th Fleet area of responsibility, which encompasses about 7.5 million square miles and includes the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, Gulf of Oman and parts of the Indian Ocean.
"This is the epitome of a joint operation," said Navy Rear Adm. Kevin Quinn, commander of Carrier Strike Group 3. "Our primary mission is to conduct air operations in support of joint and coalition forces on the ground in Afghanistan. Every single mission we conduct is a joint one."
Stennis' commanding officer, Capt. Bradley Johanson, noted that everyone on board plays an important role in joint operations.
"Support for coalition forces on the ground in Afghanistan starts here on the deck plates of Stennis, where everyone on board plays a vital role in achieving overall mission success in OEF," Johanson said. "From those preparing food in the galley to personnel on the flight deck helping launch aircraft to the engineers who provide propulsion for the ship, everyone has important responsibilities. The men and women of Stennis ensure that the ship is able to successfully launch aircraft to execute operations in support of OEF."
Navy personnel aboard Stennis, support coalition ground forces in Afghanistan, but Army soldiers and Marines on board the ship that give a traditionally "blue" Navy ship, a more "purple" flavor.
"Retired Vice Admiral Dennis McGinn stated that carrier aviation could be considered 'the world's largest and most complex team sport,'" said Capt. Sterling Gilliam, commander of Carrier Air Wing 9. "That analogy resonates with me because one only has to observe the activities on the flight deck to make the connection."
The "Death Rattlers" of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 323 embarked on Stennis for the first time in 2006 as part of Carrier Air Wing 9 during the strike group's operational work-up cycle. They departed San Diego with the strike group on Jan. 20.
The squadron consists of 18 Marine Corps pilots who fly the all-weather carrier strike fighter F/A-18C Hornets, capable of ground and air attacks, and 145 Marines that help maintain, repair and service the aircraft.
"Ultimately, a Marine squadron operates just like a Navy squadron," said Marine 1st Lt. Bradley Byers, a pilot with the unit. "We bring a different perspective and help provide close-air support to Marines and soldiers on the ground operating in support of OEF. We have a great respect and understanding for what the Marines and soldiers on the ground deal with. We put a heavy emphasis on doing what it takes to help those on the ground and are here to support them."
Stennis' purple color also is enhanced by Army soldiers serving on board. Army Maj. Dave Lander and Sgt. 1st Class John Reardon work in Stennis' carrier intelligence center as liaisons to coordinate operations between the pilots of Marine Carrier Air Wing 9 and the soldiers on the ground in theater.
Lander and Reardon translate Army language for Navy pilots and then back again to Army speak for ground forces operating in Afghanistan.
"The incorporation of the ground liaison officer team has made a tremendous difference in the effectiveness of (Carrier Air Wing) 9," Gilliam said. "Their combat expertise, insight and ability to communicate rapidly with the ground elements have allowed our air crews to arrive on station with much better battle-space awareness."
Lander said the team's mission on Stennis is to support joint OEF operations and make sure the pilots are better prepared to support ground forces. "We've got the same mission," Lander said. "We bring the ground forces together with the Navy air power in the same place to defeat the enemy."
"We are flying missions in support of troops that we have on the ground," said Lt. Steve Neebe, a pilot with Attack Fighter Squadron 147. "It's not a personal fight for us most of the time; it's a guy on the ground who is calling for support, and we're there to provide that support for them."
The men and women of the Stennis Strike Group have formed a joint team to support coalition forces on the ground as well as help bring security and stability to the region. "Every day we conduct joint operations," Quinn said. "Navy and Marine Corps air crews fly missions; Army (ground liaison officers) communicate with ground elements; and we are dependent on Air Force tankers to conduct operations over Afghanistan."
The USS John C. Stennis Strike Group began conducting its combat operations over Afghanistan at the beginning of March in support of OEF. Stennis entered the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations Feb. 19 to provide support for ground forces operating in Afghanistan and also to conduct maritime security operations.
These operations help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. They deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or other material.
(Navy Lt. Nathan Christensen is the deputy public affairs officer for USS John C. Stennis.)

The Tomb/grave of Prithviraj Chauhan the Hindu King , Who was captured by M.Ghori and was blinded , bravely Killed M.Ghori with his Shabd Bhedi Baan in front of everyone at Afghanistan .
And Prithviraj Chauhan's 'grave' in Afghanistan is visited by the locals even today to vent their anger for killing Mohammed Ghori, 900 years ago .
There have been many request made by hindu people to the government to bring bach Prithviraj Chauhan's Grave , but there was no good response . As a proof here is the Petition -http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/bring-back-prithviraj-chauhan-from-afghanistan.html
Images of Prithviraj Chauhan's Tomb

Rana said he convinced the locals that he had come from Pakistan to restore Ghori's tomb. On the sly, he dug Chauhan's "grave" and collected sand from it. He even got his "achievement" recorded on video and these pictures.
In April 2005, he was back in India. He sent the 'ashes' through courier to Etawah and organised a function there with the help of local politicians. Rana's mother, Satwati Devi, was the chief guest.On Tuesday, his mother hailed his son as the "pride of the country". "My son has only served this country. He brought the remains of Prithviraj Chauhan to India," she said.

Creating a central syslog server
In this example, I will configure our Solaris server environment to send syslog information to a remote Red Hat Linux 8.0 server.
Changes needed on the syslog server (Red Hat Linux 8.0):
1. vi /etc/sysconfig/syslog
2. Change:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0"
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r -x"
This change to the syslog daemon enables logging from remote machines and disables DNS lookups on incoming syslog messages.
Changes needed on the syslog clients (Sun Solaris):
1. vi /etc/syslog.conf
Add the following
# Send a copy to remote loghost
*.info @loghost
auth.* @loghost
Note: make sure that you do not have extra whitespace in the Solaris syslog.conf file. Separate the facility and severity from the location with either a single space or with tabs.
2. vi /etc/hosts
Remove any reference to "loghost." By default, Solaris will configure each host to be its own loghost.
3. Send the syslogd process a SIGHUP signal (kill -HUP pid_of_syslogd).
If you are using DNS, you will want to add a DNS A record for your "loghost" server. Since it may already have an entry in DNS, you may wish to use a DNS CNAME record.
If you are using
NIS in your environment, you may want to add "loghost" to your NIS
hosts map.

I love the food at Crispo, and the ambience there is great. Unfortunately, I agree with other reviewers that the service needs improvement. Particularly the host, who does not seem to be able to manage the seating situation. We waited almost an hour after our reservation time to be seated, and the host somehow tried to turn the tables on us when we inquired about our table. The servers are hit or miss. Some are attentive and friendly, others are aloof. Management needs to step it up and focus on better service.
Posted by Stacey on 05/25/2007
Ate here for the 3rd time & enjoyed it just as much as I did the 1st & 2nd times. Each time, we were all impressed by the food & especially the atmosphere. I've sat in the Garden room all 3 times, but the other 2 times were during the winter, when that room is warm & toasty b/c of the heaters & the fireplace. Candles & the waterfall set the romantic mood. But now that the weather is warmer, the garden room has turned into a wonderful Italian escape. The waterfall is very soothing & the fans keep it breezy. Again though, the service from the main waiter was poor. They tend to be inattentive & have little personality. It's very disappointing as it ruins an almost perfect experience. But either way, I can't wait to go back...although I will definitely be having a different meal, b/c I have the veal & zeppoles every time. It's good...but time for a change. =)

Went on a Friday night date to Crispo last week. We were seated promptly at our reserved time, and the patio was so adorable. It was cold outside, but the heat was on in the patio area, and the temperature was perfect. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable explaining the intracacies of the menu. We ordered a bottle of wine and a hot & sweet soprassetta plate with a few cheeses as an appetizer. It could have easily served 4 people. My fiance, usually a picky eater, got a veal dish with fontina and potato croquettes and devoured it! My pasta special with a mushroom parmiagan and sage sauce was fabulous as well. The pasta melted in my mouth and the mushroom sauce was very deep and meaty. For desset we got a few of the chocolate walnut cookies and shared the creme brulee with chocolate mousse-esq accompanyment--it was great! We will definitely be back to Crispo.

In response to the "crazy woman" who wrote the previous review, I am not sure where she dined on Saturday night, but it sure as heck wasnt Crispo! First of all Crispo never once in as many years as I have been going there had "2", i quote, tables on a Saturday night! They do over 300 covers ever single Saturday, and the food rarely, if ever, misses a beat. .... The fact that she didnt get a garden seat is just too bad...... And why would you ever get a comp becasue you couldnt get the seat you wanted.....please..... you would just be hurting yourself if you didnt go back, It is one of the best resatuarants in the city,. I eat there atleast 2 or 3 times a week!

I had been very impressed with the quality of the food here twice before. The service and atmosphere were always agreeable. However, my last experience there was extremely disappointing. I'm afraid that it was disappointing enough never to return. We called the hostess to politely ask if she might seat us at as nice a table as possible--in the garden if it was available. She brusquely told us that all she could do was request such a thing. We were appreciative. When we arrived and were seated, we nicely asked the hostess who greeted us if we could sit at a table in the garden. She told us, "No. Sorry. We have no available tables." She walked away without another word. There were exactly two tables full in the dining room at that time--10 pm. We were patient and thought that the tables would surely be full in the next little while. Otherwise, they would never have had a reason to deny us our request. The tables remained empty. The restaurant continued to become emptier and emptier. Our meal was lovely. Our server was wonderful--attentive, gracious, and polite. I felt so comfortable with her that I decided to let her know how disappointed we were with the blatantly poor service we had received from the hostesses that evening. She was extremely sympathetic. She sent over a manager, who, though well-intentioned, was no seasoned restaurant manager. She listened well and apologized nicely, but promised us that "next time we came in, she would definitely take care of us". She said that she had no idea why we would ever have received such poor treatment and that she would "talk to the hostesses". Any manager with half an ounce of finesse and experience would have offered to comp at least a round of drinks or dessert. (Most I know would have comped the entire $120 bill.) We had already paid our bill and would have refused the comp. We were not looking for a free meal. We will not return to Crispo, however.

My husband and I have been going to Crispo regularly for the last 4 years and, without fail, every single meal is excellent. Whether we go with our friends or clients, no matter how small or large a group of people are at our table, Crispo never disappoints. The quality of food is always consistent: excellent. The servers (Cory is our favorite) couldn't be more attentive, the pacing of courses is just right, and the overall atmosphere is great. While the main dining room can sometimes get a little loud, we love eating in the dining alcove off the main dining room and especially love eating in the back garden open all year round. We highly recommend this place if you want to have a truly delicious meal on a date or impress your clients.

Second time here...went right around Valentines Day & the food & atmosphere was still excellent, but the service was also still disappointing & slow. Either way, the food is delicious & totally worth the price. It's also great for a romantic date with a loved one.
