This week we were in Wellington and guess who leaped from the Taranaki Wharf Jump Platform?
And see how the Mountain Dew Guy made me do it! Well, not exactly me, so if I was your guess, try again.
This story has few players.
The Cast:
Mountain Dew Guy – played by the Mountain Dew rep who was handing out the beverage ("Mountain Dew Guy" seems more interesting than calling him Chuck.)
The Cute Girl – played by my 20 Something niece
The Aunt – played by me
The background:
My amazing niece is visiting for a few months. With our girls transitioning to school from homeschooling this term, they are not available for travel. So hubby stayed home with them and my niece and I flew down to Wellington, New Zealand's capital and the world's southern most capital city. We hit Wellington's highlights, which you can see photos of tomorrow. For today we will focus on just the Taranaki Wharf Jump Platform along the waterfront where young guys like to jump off the wharf into the sea. So, the city wisely chose to build a big platform, with a few rules.
The Scene:
The small crowd gathered around the basin, cheering and howling as shirtless wanna-be athletes leap, flip or jump from the Taranaki Wharf Jump Platform, plunging into the murky, waters below.
As the cute girl watched, she was getting ideas. I am sure the jump into Haruru Falls a few weeks back was still fresh in her mind. One of the beverage companies capitalized on this opportunity, passing out caffeine injected cans to anyone who would take one. He hands one to the nondescript Aunt who glances at the rep, then at the cute girl and simply says:
Aunt – "Do you think she should Jump?"
Mountain Dew Guy (obviously very excited at the prospect of a cute girl jumping) "Do you want to jump?"
Cute Girl "I'm not sure, I have to catch a plane in a few hours. I have nothing else to wear."
Mountain Dew Guy: "I'll give you a t-shirt if you do it."
Aunt: "How about the one you are wearing?"
So, hot Mountain Dew Guy gives the cute girl the shirt off his back and off they go."
The crowd goes wild. The cute girl is incredible. Her jump from the Taranaki Wharf Jump Platform, nothing short of magnificent.
Taranaki Wharf Jump Platform
It wasn't until later, after she was dry and dressed, that she came back with her new shirt to take a photo of the scene. (the dry one, she walked away with two shirts: the one off his back which she was wearing and was now wet and a dry one in her size). As we approached we finally read the sign . . .
Just in case you can't read it: Health Warning: This area has recently been polluted. It is not safe to eat seafood or swim. (the rest is in Maori)
Since I am really the aunt and my sister (the cute girl's mom) is probably reading this, I will spoil the fun and tell you that we did research this and it turns out to be not that bad, just slightly higher than normal bacteria and the law requires the sign. Serious problems get much more serious signs.
By the way, would you jump off the Taranaki Wharf Jump Platform for the shirt off this Mountain Dew Guy's back?

Roasted chicken in 45 minutes? No problem. This technique of starting bone-in chicken breasts on the stove top and finishing them in a hot oven with vegetables gets a hearty dinner on the table in a hurry. While everything roasts, you still have time to make a quick pan sauce with shallot and Dijon mustard. Serve with a spinach salad.

oh sorry i thought he was using DVDS
DVDx should have nothing to do with loading backups from USB. only if you are gonna be running backups from disc. Not trying to be a smartass, just informing of what DVDx does and doesn't do
Also he never did specify whether he is trying to load from discs or HDD that info would narrow down a little bit.
oh sorry i thought he was using DVDS
im trying to load from dvd-r but still getting same problems arghhhhh
Then yes you should try updating you DVDx as TTACKK suggested. I think installing cMIOS might help the situation as well, but i am pretty sure thats for Gamecube Backups.

cMIOS is only for GC backups.
Does the screen stay black, and you have to do a hard reset. Or does it take you back to the Wii System Menu?
black screnn = missing IOS. I would say your still missing some ios. There is a program called pimp my wii knocking around on the forums somewhere, it apparently will check and update all your IOS's.
yup screen stays black have to do a hard reset
See what that pimp my wii deal that davepm suggested does.

Dermoid cyst

Dear Alice,
What is the name of the cyst that when removed is made of hair and teeth and body tissue? My friend had one removed from her ovary and her doctor said that very few of them are malignant.
Dear Reader,
You could be describing a dermoid cyst. Dermoid cysts are benign tumors that contain nails, teeth, bone, hair, cartilage, and/or other tissues, and can be filled with a fatty substance. They vary in size and location, generally appearing on an ovary, as in your friend's situation. In 25 percent of cases, cysts are found on both ovaries. Dermoid cysts may also occur in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, skin, spine, abdomen, or even skull. Depending on the location in the body, they are common to rare. Anyone at any age can have a dermoid.
Dermoid cysts of the ovary are fairly common and most often affect young women around the age of 30. They are often discovered during a routine pelvic exam, as they generally cause no symptoms. Surgical removal is usually recommended and laparoscopic surgery is the preferred method, if the cyst is small. This procedure involves inserting a tiny scope into small cuts in the abdomen and filling the abdomen with air, which allows room to maneuver. The surgeon then dissects and removes the cyst. If the dermoid is especially large, the surgeon makes a bigger incision into the abdomen. Planned, rather than emergency, surgery can prevent complications, such as twisting of the cyst, lower abdominal pain, rupture of the cyst, and infection. The cyst is typically on the surface of the ovary or at the end of a pedicle or stalk, making its removal relatively simple. In reproductive age women, the goal of treatment is to preserve all or part of the ovary.
Depending on the position of the cyst within the ovary, it may be necessary to remove a portion of or the entire ovary. In this case, a woman may wonder about her fertility potential. If the remaining ovarian tissue is normal, a woman may still ovulate, menstruate, and conceive a pregnancy. Even if one ovary is completely removed, the other ovary is stimulated and continues to produce eggs, so that conception can occur.
Though extremely rare, 1 - 3 percent of dermoid cysts of the ovary become cancerous. Most of the cysts that undergo malignant degeneration occur in postmenopausal women. Prognosis depends on cancer cell type, stage of cancer, and success of the cancer treatment.
Talking with the surgeon before the operation is an important part of planning for the future. It is a good idea for the woman to identify and write down her questions, and then be sure to understand the answers. Seeking a second opinion before surgery is an appropriate option. Bringing a companion is helpful, since it is difficult to absorb and retain unfamiliar information under stressful circumstances.

To the reader:
I have just been treated for a dermoid cyst that twisted, causing horrific pain and required emergency surgery to extract. It ended up being 17cm large and I would have had no clue had I not been in such terrible pain. In the process I have also now lost an ovary and a fallopian tube. I am still quite baffled as to how on earth something can get that large and be that invasive and you have no idea it is growing inside you. Then I think back to all the little signs that something wasnt right and how I attributed those things to other things without being fully checked out. Maybe someone will learn from my mistake!

After spending an hour watching the premiere episode of Mob Wives, we're still sort of amazed that anyone actually has the audacity to wag a finger in Renee Graziano's face. But wait, we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves. Let's start from the beginning here, shall we?
If you watched our video introduction to Renee Graziano a few weeks ago, you already know that she's NOT the type to be messed with. However, if you missed that intro, here's what you need to know about Renee. Her father, Anthony Graziano, is currently serving hard time in a federal correction facility in Butner, North Carolina, on racketeering charges, and if there's one thing she hates, it's a snitch. "If you're a rat, you're not in my circle," she explains. "Matter of fact, I'll make your life so miserable, you won't be able to hang out in anybody's circle." Oh, and if you're wondering if she owns a lynx coat…
So, who was that woman brave enough to wag her finger in Renee's face? Say hello to another of the Mob Wives, Karen Gravano.
Karen is the daughter of the infamous Mob turncoat, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, the man whose testimony was responsible for bringing down John Gotti and the Gambino crime family. As you can no doubt imagine, this betrayal rendered everyone in the Gravano clan persona non grata in Staten Island, so most of the family, including Karen, relocated to Arizona. However, after spending ten years in Arizona living with her daughter, Karen is itching to return to Staten Island to research her upcoming tell-all book from St. Marten's Press. And, as you can tell, Karen and Renee don't exactly get along. More on that in a bit.
Next up, we've got Carla Facciolo, whose soon to be ex-husband Joseph is in the clink for stock fraud. She too comes from an underworld background, and her father and uncles have all spent time in the clink. However, her kids have NO CLUE their Dad is in jail; Carla has told them all along that he's "working."
Last, but most certainly not least, is Drita D'avanzo. Her husband, Lee, is serving his second stint in a federal penitentiary, this time for robbing a bank. Although she was born and raised in Staten Island, she considers herself "100% Albanian" and has no problem whatsoever throwing down if you get up in her grill. "If I'm coming for you, I'm never gonna stop until i get you," she explains to a (no doubt frightened) interviewer. "Hospitalized, broken faces, like ambulance (whoop). It's not like tuggin', pullin' hair and that. I'm gonna hurt you." And with biceps like that, we believe her!
She's also a doting wife and mother, one who's not afraid to bring her incarcerated hubby black olives, soprasetta, Wing Dings and Twinkies while he's paying his debt to society. Vanilla Cokes, on the other hand, are a smidge harder to come by. Despite this minor trouble acquiring flavored sodas —btw, who knew those were such a hot commodity in jail?— she's sticking it out.
Ok, now that you've been introduced to the four Mob Wives, we can get on with the juicy stuff.
But before we get into the showdown between Karen and Renee, first we gotta find Renee a man. Luckily, Carla and Drita have some good suggestions for her online dating profile.
Renee's Likes:
- "I like a man that's done at least 5 years in the federal penitentiary."
- "I like writing criminal institutions."
- "I like AK-47s."
Renee's Dislikes:
- Guys who can't deal with the fact that her ex might be pissed when he gets out of prison.
Any takers?
Meanwhile, Karen ain't afraid of
no ghost Renee, or anyone in Staten Island, for that matter. "F**k Sammy the Bull, f**k John Gotti, I'm gangster and I'm coming home."
Besides, she's got some allies in her old stomping grounds. Back in the day, she used to be besties with Drita. That is, until Drita got married to Karen's ex. And before you go thinking it was no big deal, Karen lived with said ex for SEVEN YEARS. Speaking of which…
Whoops, didn't see THAT one coming! Oh well, it's nothing that a few pink lemonade and vodkas won't wash away…
Hey, that's better than Ron Ron Juice. K-Gizzle, back in the house!
Before you get too settled, we're mere moments away from Carla's birthday party, where Karen will be the surprise guest of honor. Renee has been kept in the dark about this development, though, which is why you'll see her in what she describes as "party mode."
Faster than you can do three (or, quite possibly, more!) shots of Patron, Party Renee goes buh bye when she sees Karen walking in the door.
That look you see there is what's described in Mob Wives circles as "buggin' the f**k out." Let's back up a sec. Renee holds a HUGE grudge against Karen, not necessarily out of any personal beef that the two had between each other, but more because of Karen's father's betrayal. Renee's father ordered her to "cut all ties" with anyone with the last name Gravano after Sammy "The Bull" went rogue, and their first confrontation in well over 10 years is chock full of fireworks.
Watching Renee and Karen go toe-to-toe is, in a word, EPIC. Neither of these two tough broads are going to back down from each other, not even when Karen accuses Renee of being a "weak-minded individual." Thinking for a moment that she has the upper hand, Karen tries to get Renee to leave Carla's birthday party. Not so fast!
"I don't leave anywhere," Renee emphatically explains to her new enemy. "I never did and I never f*****g will."
Will this tension get resolved without fisticuffs breaking out? You'll have to tune in next week to find out!

In an ever-changing world, newspapers are an ideal teaching tool as they provide current content published on a daily basis on a wide variety of subjects.
This is where the Newspaper In Education program, otherwise referred to as NIE, comes in. The program's main goal is to improve overall literacy, by enhancing reading, spelling and writing abilities, all while advancing the use of newspapers in schools.
Both small and large newspapers across the U.S. utilize the valuable program, including The Daily Press, which has offered the program for the past four years.
Members of the Cameron and Elk Counties Local Housing Options Team [LHOT] have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming housing expo, the first of its kind offered by the group, on April 14 from noon to 6 p.m. at Central Hose Company along North Broad Street in Ridgway.
The expo will showcase builders, contractors, realtors, financing mechanisms and services available to the seasoned homeowner, first-time homebuyer, landlords and renters.
Todd Hanes, owner of the former location of The Station Inn along Depot Street, addressed members of city council on Monday evening, informing them that

HONOLULU - The New Mexico State volleyball team (15-10, 9-2 WAC) fell to No. 5 Hawai'i (21-1, 11-0 WAC) in three sets (25-18, 25-10, 25-23) in the Stan Sherriff Center, Sunday, Oct. 31. The loss ends the Aggies seven-match winning streak, while UH takes their winning streak to 16.
WAC kill leader Kayleigh Giddens led the charge for the Aggies with 12 kills while junior middle hitter Kelsey Brennan added five kills. On the defensive side of the net, junior Kelsi Phillips led the way with seven digs and freshman Desiree Scott ended the evening with three total blocks. NM State ran a 6-2 offense, utilizing two setters, with junior Jennah DeVries marking 14 assists and junior Madison Hardy coming up with 10 assists.
"We saw a some improvement from the last time we played them and we competed a little better," head coach Mike Jordan said. "Hawaii is very impressive. They are national contender. They play higher than some of the bodies are."
Set one saw the Aggies battle the nationally ranked team with ties at seven and eight and would pull to within two points when Brennan and Giddens tallied kills taking the score to 18-16. NM State struggled after that as UH went on a 7-2 scoring rally to win 25-18.
The Aggies had trouble coming together in set two falling 25-10. The difference of the set was UH hit .481 as a team, while NM State hit .087 with four errors. The set was tied at two-a-piece, but the Rainbow Wahine went on a 10-1 run to force the Aggies to battle from behind the rest of the way.
NM State played with a never-say-die attitude in set three falling 25-23. NM State took an 8-7 lead on a block by freshman Desiree Scott and junior Michelle Kuester. A kill by Brennan got the Aggies to within one at 13-12 and an attack error by UH got the Aggies to within two points at 19-17. Down 24-19, NM State battled with kills by Brennan and Giddens. The Aggies were down 24-23 before dropping the match.

Before: Dated Pink Bathroom
This 8' by 9' bathroom had an awkward layout.
Still, homeowner and designer Emily Norris wanted to keep costs down, so she decided not to move any plumbing. Instead, she introduced a new colour palette to replace the too-girly pink. By replacing wallpaper, tiles, flooring, the vanity and window coverings, Emily was able to completely revamp this bathroom on a budget.

Lisa Marie and Richard traveled from Southern California for their sweet, intimate San Francisco City Hall wedding. Their session was so epic that it warranted three posts! Lisa Marie and Richard were married on one of the luckiest days of the year, 08/09/10. Lisa Marie is the owner of Orange & Blossom, which she describes as "the first of its kind: a highly edited shop curated to appeal to modern couples seeking something beautiful, different, real."
The idea of eloping with your honey is such a romantic notion, and I would have to describe Lisa Marie and Richard's elopement just the way she describes Orange & Blossom — something beautiful, different, and real. Although their clothing was so elegant, timeless, and classic, Lisa Marie and Richard were so laid back and easy going, a true pleasure to be around. I actually get a little boost from being around people who are so in love and I just love the way these two look at each other.
Please check back for more of their San Francisco elopement!

Dean of the College and Political Studies Program present
In this presentation, I will discuss an important wave of interest group electioneering appearing in the 1930s – one that laid the foundations for the formation of Political Action Committees (PACs) in the 1940s, and the dramatic escalation of interest group electoral activity over the subsequent decades. Prior to this point, interest groups had largely avoided the electoral arena and focused instead on legislative lobbying – an activity they pursued in a bipartisan fashion. Amid the economic and political turmoil of the early 1930s, however, business and labor interests would enter the electoral fray in a newly visible and assertive way, choosing opposing party sides in the 1936 election. They forged new organizations – the "American Liberty League" and "Labor's Non-Partisan League" – to do battle on behalf of their favored presidential contenders, and carved out a new financial role for non-party actors in election campaigns. Though they also took pains to distinguish their efforts from truly partisan activity, the strategies and tactics these two Leagues formulated, and the justifications in which they would embed their newly assertive electoral role, would set the stage for a much more proactive and partisan style of interest group electioneering in years to come.

Volcanic ash was not much of an issue for the airlines until Eyjafjallajökull blew its top. But when that happened, a lot of people started asking questions that had not been asked before. Now, because of those questions, things can never be quite the same again.
Pre-Eyjafjallajökull, the airlines had quietly adopted an astoundingly simple system for operating in the vicinity of volcanic activity: for example British Airways' operating practice was to avoid the visible ash plume by 190km (100nm). This operating technique was justified by the fact that no ill befell those who adopted it, which could be seen as a pretty good argument for continuing.
The trouble is that the airlines did not rigorously assemble data from these encounters: the number of times they occurred, the density of residual ash they passed through safely, any effect (even slight) on the airframe or engines.
The US Federal Aviation Administration took the line that it would let the airlines decide, but it was their risk, not the FAA's. Europe's airlines are now appealing for the same privilege.
We no longer live in such an innocent world. Risk assessments have to be based on numbers, not suck-it-and-see. Were anything to go wrong in future to an airline operating such a system, it would probably find itself uninsured and definitely the target of civil and criminal lawsuits. And so would the regulator that allowed it.

MISHAWAKA (AP) — The roofs were blown off some buildings in northern Indiana as a storm with winds sometimes topping 60 mph swept through the state.
The National Weather Service says Wednesday night's storm caused scattered building, tree and power line damage, including reports near the cities of Wabash and Rochester.
LAPORTE — Travelers in the western part of Indiana will experience detours on U.S. 30 this week. Construction began on the highway in Starke County Monday.
Travelers going west will be detoured by driving north on Ind. 39, taking U.S. 6 west, then returning south on U.S. 421, where they will intersect with U.S. 30 once more. Indiana Department of Transportation officials indicate construction will continue until Friday of this week.
COLUMBIA CITY — With heavy rain forecasted for Wednesday night, Columbia City High School's graduation ceremony was in jeopardy.
However, the high school experienced no flooding.
Principal Jennifer Reiff, not wanting to move the commencement, made quick decisions earlier in the week to prevent a potential disaster.
Three years ago, the high school's commencement was moved to Indian Springs Middle School. Reiff did not want to see a repeat.
"I'll be darned if we have to do that again," she said.
Editor's note: Throughout the month of June, The Post & Mail will be featuring several public safety officials in a multi-part series.
COLUMBIA CITY — Though Zach Rumsyre hasn't been a fireman as long as many others in Whitley County, he has his sights aimed high.
Rumsyre, who has been a volunteer fireman with Jefferson Center Fire Department since 2004, has already worked his way into a captain's position.
"It is my goal to become a career firefighter," Rumsyre said.
COLUMBIA CITY — For the third consecutive year, Whitley County Consolidated Schools (WCCS) will be raising the price of its food for students.
Lunch will have an increased price tag of 10 cents across each school level in 2013-14. The previous two years' increases were a nickel each time.
At the elementary school level, students will pay $1.70 per lunch next year. Middle school students will be charged $1.85 and the price for high schoolers will be $1.95.
Breakfast prices will increase 10 cents as well, the first time that has occurred since 2004-05.
A conspicuous cloud hangs over downtown Columbia City Wednesday evening as storms rolled in.
Pictured is the sky lit up with lightning as darkness blows over the city.

The shelf cloud went on to cause hail and strong winds in Churubusco, and even prompted tornado warnings as it passed through northeast Indiana.
Though the dark cloud coming down from the shelf cloud did not have rotation in Columbia City, it is called a wall cloud, and had the potential for tornadoes.
COLUMBIA CITY — Two people were arrested and booked at the Whitley County Jail Wednesday after police discovered an active methamphetamine lab.
Braidon Hall, 19, of Columbia City, and Mitchell Bradley, 37, of Garrett, were both booked on meth-related charges after a traffic stop led to a police investigation at 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Columbia City Police Captain Tony Hively stopped their vehicle near the intersection of Ind. 205 and Cider Mill Road, and uncovered an active meth lab.

Millions of people are in the path of Hurricane Sandy, now closing in on New Jersey.
Part of the Atlantic City Boardwalk has washed away.
In New York City, waves are already crashing over sea walls along the southern tip of Manhattan.
Battery park is submerged.
The city could see the worst of the storm surge.
"We expect surge levels of six to 11 feet. A surge of nine to 10 feet is possible along Coney Island and the Rockaways, and a surge of 11 to 12 feet may occur at the Battery Monday evening," said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Hundreds of thousands of people in low-lying areas of the city have been ordered to evacuate.
The Tappan Zee Bridge is now closed, along with two major tunnels into downtown Manhattan.
All subway and bus service is also shut down.
And it's not just wind and rain that are causing problems.
In West Virginia, heavy snow has been falling. They could see as much as 3 feet of snow.

Sony has completed the sale of its Vaio PC division and has exited the PC market to concentrate on smartphones
Update 06/02/14: Sony has sold its Vaio PC business to the Japan Industrial Partners equity fund which will in turn set up a new company to run the business.
The move takes Sony out of the PC market as the company shifts its focus towards smartphones and mobile devices.
While the terms of the deal haven't been made public, reports are suggesting it is in the region of 50 billion yen (£302 million).
Original story
Sony is reportedly in discussions with Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) to sell its PC division. JIP is a leading investment fund in Japan.
Sony is keen to "unload its sluggish personal computer operations," according to a report in Wednesday's Nikkei.
If the sale goes ahead, it would result in JIP taking over Sony's entire PC division. It is unclear if it will also gain a licence to use the Sony name, or whether it would launch a new brand.
It is expected it would continue to use the Vaio brand.
According to Nikkei, the price being touted is 40 to 50 billion yen (£241.5 billion to £302 billion).
No go Lenovo
Earlier rumours that the company was speaking to Lenovo were dismissed by the company.
"A press report on February 1, 2014, stated that Sony … is discussing with Lenovo Group the possible establishment of a joint venture for the PC business," it said in a statement to CNET.
"As Sony has announced previously, Sony continues to address various options for the PC business, but the press report on a possible PC business alliance between Sony and Lenovo is inaccurate."
Sony has not commented on the rumour that it is in talks with Japanese Industrial Partners.

Comments about Marshall 2061CX 2x12 Extension Cabinet:
This cabinet matches up with and delivers exactly what you expect from the vintage handwire 2061s. The compactness of the units make it a very desirable to move around and take along with you. The cab looks pretty nice as well. My only thing is I wish they'd make an extension version to place under this cabinet; so you could get a 2061 stack for both more sound, ease of access to amp knobs, bringing speaker to your ear level, and finally for pure image that people expect.
Comments about Marshall 2061CX 2x12 Extension Cabinet:
I have recently purchased a Fender Hot-Rod DeVille 4 I play my SRV Strat through it--awesome! I desired a little more bottom out of that amp so I scoured the cabs; I kept eyeing this little gem here. As one can see, the ad info is very little; two 12" speakers...designed for 2061 20-watt head"..yeah. I gambled and ordered it. My thought was, "A high price for 2 speakers!"When the cab showed up, I was very delighted to read, "Handwired" on the box. Construction-wise, it's like the 1960AHW that goes with the handwired Plexi. Excellent construction, very neatly done..about 2' square in size. I discovered that it has 8-Ohm wiring, so I plugged into the DeVille with the supplied unshielded cable.The cabinet has two 30-Watt Celestion G30's-what a sound! The best way to describe it: pure, clean tone and has the head room to handle the DeVille. The cab doesn't have casters, but can be managed by hand. I would recommend this cab for players who are looking for supplemental tone from a combo amp or an amp head up to 50 watts; it will work well in a small to medium-sized venue. Buy this one!
Comments about Marshall 2061CX 2x12 Extension Cabinet:
WOW, I have had a 1960A cab, this is as close as you get without the bulk. I can carry the head in one hand and the cab in the other. Very compact and light yet kicks A**.Nothing short of AWESOME~!

Virgin Atlantic says its redesigned business class lounge at Newark resembles a SoHo boutique
Nov 16, 2012 12:10 am
Skift Take
Virgin excels at design inside its aircraft and in the airport. Now if it could only design its balance sheets with the same flair.
Virgin Atlantic's newly revamped Clubhouse business class lounge at New York's Newark Airport is certain to wow travellers with its fantastic bar, array of seating choices and laptop-friendly side tables. The one thing it doesn't have: windows.
"Think SoHo boutiques, Tribeca lofts, NoHo coffee shops," says Virgin on Twitter, explaining the look and feel it's going for.
This throws down the gauntlet to other airlines with windowless interior lounges, and proves they don't have to be dreary corporate holes in shades of beige.

Frugal foody tips
Frugal Kiwi Mum followers are often surprised when they see the cost of my weekly groceries and I must admit that, compared to the price of my food bill 3 years ago, I do pretty well! I try and keep my weekly bill under $120 (including nappies, formula and often a box of beer for my Poker playing Husband) and 8/10 I am well under this target.
My Frugal Kiwi Mum family consists of 4: Myself and my meat-hungry Husband, 2 year old Jack and Harry who just turned 1. Before children, cost wasn't really an issue: if I wanted something, I bought it. But times have changed and nothing has become any cheaper. Whilst I still crave healthy yet convenient food, my budget has had to decrease drastically and so I started a whole new approach to grocery shopping.
Use lentils to bulk up mince! Cheap and easy and children love the different colours.
Buy cheaper mince but boil it before mixing with other ingredients to remove saturated fats.
Add grated or minced vegetables to recipes. For example, Frugal Kiwi Mum's Scotch egg recipe has added grated onion, carrot and kidney beans. My children wouldn't eat these things otherwise.
Increase dairy in your diets by using Semolina. It keeps well in the fridge and can be sweetened with pureed fruit. It's also really filling!
Save stale bread and crusts for bread pudding. Add some dried fruit before cooking to increase vitamins.
Dried fruit is handy to snack on and keeps well in the cupboard plus it's a fraction of the price of fresh fruit.

2012: The Year of Big Data in American Politics
Author: Linda Rosencrance, Spotfire Blogging Team
Guess who has the hottest job in the 2012 presidential campaign … is it the chief campaign manager for President Obama, Mitt Romney, or any other GOP candidate?
Well, believe it or not, it's the data mining scientist—or data analyst. No, really. It's the person who's responsible for sorting through tons (read terabytes) of big data to track voter behavior and figure out how they'll vote, if they'll donate to a particular campaign and whether they'll try to persuade their nearest and dearest to vote for one candidate over another.
Traditionally, people running presidential campaigns have relyed on telephone polling to determine the collective will of the voters but that could all change during this presidential campaign. According to the blog, 2012 will be the year of big data in American politics—at least for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
It seems the Obama for America campaign is hot on the trail of paid staffers, including analysts and data geniuses, to use their skills to make a real difference in his campaign to be a second-term president.
And if you read this article, you'll discover that some of the millions raised by the president's re-election campaign might be used to develop "one of the most innovative internal data operations ever for a political campaign."
Obama's campaign has been looking to hire predictive modeling, and data mining analysts as well as state data directors who can figure out how best to merge offline data with online data from social media and other online interactions to better target potential voters.
That's why Obama's campaign is setting up an in-house analytics department in its Chicago headquarters. The Chicago office will also have specific data anlaysts responsible for certain parts of the country.
At some point, the GOP presidential nominee could also be poised to build a data team like the president, according to the article. However, the president's re-election campaign has the advanatage of being able to raise funds toward the general election now and use that money to create an internal data operation much sooner than his Republican opponent.
And who among the Republicans do you think would be the most likely candidate to turn to data analaysts to help win the presidential election? Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, whose campaign already has an in-house digital director.
Back in June, I told you that data analyst jobs were hot. Well, it seems like they're really catching fire now and the trend is likely to continue deep into the decade. If you want to learn more about predictive tools needed to succeed in this hot field, check out a pre-recorded webcast introducing predictive analytics with Spotfire.

Thanks to the big data revolution the scientists can do a true 360-degree analysis. Data scientists now have access to more comprehensive data sets, enabling them to more quickly determine the answers to business questions that require detailed, interactive, multidimensional statistical analysis. I totally agree with Aaron DelSignore that as people around the world continue to engage in social networking and conduct more of their lives in public online forums, data scientists will have access to more comprehensive, current, and detailed market intelligence on every possible demographic.

While I had removed a lot of the unnecessary stuff that was making it's way to the from page of this blog and kept it so you were only seeing actual posts, (as opposed to webcasts for other sites and aggregated twitter content) Sara pointed out to me that all of that stuff was still finding it's way into the RSS feed.
That, I'm happy to say, is a problem no longer.
I've now stopped all the stuff I didn't want cluttering the front page of the blog form making it's way into the RSS feed and the only way you'll find it (assuming you want to) is to go looking for it in the correct category on the site itself.
2 thumbs up for clutter reduction!
Happy days!

The Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance (EPTA) and Special Fund (SF) were amalgamated effective 1 January 1966 to form the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The governance structure was changed so that UNDP's new thirty-seven member Governing Council took up the duties of the former Special Fund Governing Council as well as the Technical Assistance Committee (TAC) of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Governing Council members were elected in ECOSOC and reported to ECOSOC. The Consultative Board of the Special Fund and the Technical Assistance Board (TAB) were replaced by a new Inter-Agency Consultative Board (IACB) consisting of the Executive Directors (or their representatives) of the specialized agencies under the Chairmanship of the UNDP Administrator. Goverments made requests directly through the Resident Representative, but IACB members advised the Council on these submissions, taking into account technical assistance being undertaken as part of their agency's regular programme. The Consultative Board members could also be consulted on the selection of agencies for the execution of projects and the appointment of Resident Representatives.
Country programming and the United Nations Development Co-operation Cycle were introduced by the "1970 Consensus," adopted by the Governing Council of UNDP and approved by the UN General Assembly at its Twenty-fifth session, taking effect on 1 January 1971. This change acknowledged that the government of a country has exclusive responsibility for its national development plan, and the country programme would be formulated by each government in co-operation, at the appropriate stage, with representatives of the United Nations system as led by the UNDP Resident Representative on site in the country. The country was responsible for taking into account other forms of bilateral or multilateral inputs. From the Resident Representative, the country programme would be submitted to the Administrator of the UNDP for review before submission to the Governing Council for approval. Within the context of this country programme, the Governing Council had ultimate authority to approve individual projects submitted by governments, but, in turn delegated the UNDP Administrator with this authority. UN specialized agencies were to be given first consideration as executing agents under this new framework. They were also to provide advice when requested to the UNDP Administrator on the implementation of all projects, whether executed by them or not. Executing agencies, be they UN agencies or government or non-governmental institutions or firms, were accountable to the UNDP Administrator for the implementation of the projects. Monitoring of projects was carried out by the Resident Representative and evaluation, upon consent of the Government, was carried out jointly with the Government, UNDP and the executing agency. These changes led to the creation of UNDP regional bureaux.
Up until the 1970 Consensus, the EFTA and SF continued to be maintained as two separate funds. In 1970, UNESCO implemented US$ 10,143,861 of EPTA projects and US$26,073,904 of SF projects (UNESCO, 1987). The Consensus introduced a new system of Indicative Planning Figures (IPFs) where each country was allotted a percentage of the total resources available as projected over a certain period of time. The Governing Council of UNDP set the IPFs based on the proposal of the Administrator and a Government's comments thereon.
In a report to its Executive Board, UNESCO considered that the principle that UN agencies should be given first consideration as executing agents was "weakened during the 1980s as UNDP moved towards a greater utilization of 'alternative modalities': project execution by UNDP/OPS, lending institutions and governments" (UNESCO. Executive Board, 1990). For the 1990s, UNDP envisaged a diminishing Special Agency role in project execution and an expanding role in providing technical advice to UNDP and member countries. However, the funding arrangements for this support were not immediately clear and UNESCO noted that the provision of pre-project analysis did not guarantee that it would be named an executing agency in this system. UNESCO and UNDP signed an Executing Agency Agreement in 1990 which governed the relationship of the parties in the execution of projects. The UN General Assembly changed the governance structure of UNDP in 1993 by changing the Governing Council to an Executive Board. The suggested conflict between UNDP's role as a coordinating body and its emerging operational activities with UNDP/OPS was alleviated with the Office's transformation into UNOPS in 1995, a separate entity which reports to the Executive Board of UNDP. The Resident Representatives system was also modified in 1997 so that the newly renamed UN Resident Coordinators had an added level of impartiality, being charged with leading development activities of the UN system as a whole at the country-level. In 1996, UNDP introduced the TRAC (Target for resource assignments from core) financing mechanism as a more flexible system to replace the IPFs. UNDP and UNESCO signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2008 providing a framework for cooperation and to facilitate collaboration.
UNESCO and UNDP's cooperation takes place in the larger context of UN inter-agency coordination mechanisms. UNESCO participated at the level of the ECOSOC's Administrative Committee on Coordination (ACC), as well as its standing bodies the Consultative Committee on Substantive Questions (Operational Activities), CCSQ/OPS, or the Consultative Committee on Administrative Questions (Financial and Budgetary Questions), CCAQ(FB). Created in 1946 as the main inter-secretariat coordinating body composed of the executive heads of the UN system, the ACC was renamed the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination in 2001. Within the governance structure of UNDP, inter-secretariat coordination formerly carried out by the Consultative Board of the Special Fund and the TAB was assumed by a new Inter-Agency Consultative Board consisting of the Executive Directors (or their representatives) of the specialized agencies under the Chairmanship of the UNDP Administrator. With the 1970 Consensus, the Inter-Agency Consultancy Board was no longer responsible for advising the Administrator on all programmes and projects before their submission to the Council. IACB, later the Inter-Agency Consultative Meetings (IACM) became rather an advisory body whose principal role was to develop maximum coherence and co-ordination in the operational activities of the United Nations system as a whole, and to increase the efficiency and capacity of the system. With the UN Reform movements beginning in the 1990s, the UN Development Group (UNDG) was introduced, uniting the 32 UN funds, programmes, agencies, departments, and offices that play a role in development. The group's objective is to deliver more coherent, effective and efficient support to countries seeking to attain internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals. The Administrator of UNDP chairs UNDG and UNESCO has a permanent seat on the UNDG Advisory Group which provides the Administrator with advice on "managing the operational dimensions of the UNDG and the Resident Coordinator system" (UNDG, undated).

Ok looking but NOT lined
The swimsuit runs a bit small. The 38 fits like a 36, and he is a true 38 but has actually lost a little weight and it barely fits - a bit snug. Mostly I was surprised that it was not lined. Not sure my husband will feel comfortable wearing an unlined swimsuit. The description should state this clearly as this is an important and expected feature, especially for a swimsuit of this price range. Frankly, even all the Target swimsuits have a support lining. I bought it on sale and it was a final sale, but if it had been full price I would have been furious and definitely returned it.

In an unprecedented move in New Jersey, a health insurer and a hospital system — AmeriHealth New Jersey and Cooper University Health Care — announced today that Cooper will acquire a 20 percent interest in AmeriHealth New Jersey. This venture intends to transform health care in the state by increasing quality and lowering costs through a more highly coordinated care model.
Together, Cooper and AmeriHealth New Jersey will develop and offer an expanded suite of health plans and an accountable care model for New Jersey residents. These health plans will include insured, self-insured, and Medicare products, and will provide employers and consumers with new options that focus on affordability while offering access to world-class care from Cooper's more than 500 employed physicians in South Jersey and a network of over 100 outpatient offices.
In order to provide extensive case management, help patients navigate the health care system, and ensure better access to and optimal coordination of care, Cooper will also incorporate the patient-centered medical home model in its primary care practices. The patient-centered model is specifically designed to enhance communication with patients and among providers and give patients easier access to physicians.
"Under this new partnership with AmeriHealth New Jersey, Cooper's network of advanced medical specialists and primary care physicians will provide coordinated patient care never seen before in our region," said George E. Norcross, III, chairman of the board at Cooper. "As an academic medical center with access to more than 500 physicians, patients will have better, more personalized care, utilizing the latest and most technologically advanced treatment options available."

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
- Whistleblowers A whistleblower is any individual providing the SEC with original information related to a possible violation of federal securities law. The Dodd-Frank Act established a whistleblower program that enables the SEC to reward individuals who voluntarily provide such information.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced Tuesday that Jane Jarcho has been named national associate director of the investment adviser/investment company examination program in the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE).
Jarcho, who will oversee a staff of approximately 450 lawyers, accountants and examiners responsible for inspections of U.S.-registered investment advisors and investment companies, has been the acting national associate director of the program since March.
She joined the SEC in 1990 and previously served as the associate director of the IA/IC examination program in the SEC's Chicago regional office.
"Jane brings a wealth of experience that will help us to continue to strengthen our risk-based approach to the examination of investment advisers and investment companies," said OCIE Director Andrew Bowden, in a statement.
Jarcho added in the same statement that she is "honored and excited for the opportunity to work with the IA/IC examination staff in Washington, D.C. and throughout the country." Having worked alongside the IA/IC staff for several years, Jarcho said she knew "they are a dedicated group of professionals who are committed to protecting investors by promoting compliance, informing policy, and detecting wrongdoing."
Jarcho began her SEC career in the Division of Enforcement and held several positions including branch chief, senior trial counsel and assistant regional director before joining OCIE in 2008.
She has a B.A. from Middlebury College and a law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School.

More Information
The delicious dichotomy between darkness and light, the space between inspiration and the manifestation of thought, is where Hope Sandoval's music and lyrics catch fire. Through The Devil Softly, her second album with Warm Inventions partner Colm Ó Cíosóig (My Bloody Valentine), is a rich brocade of pastoral meditations that resonate with the kind of restrained yet provocative intimacy that only these two artists can provide. Well known for their reticence in the media, they've once again chosen to pour out their hearts and minds on record.

It's amazing how much the world has changed since 1984. Not only the original Mac compared to the brand new Mac Pro, but things like the web, like iFixit, and so much more. This is almost like Captain America — something out of time.
iFixit tears down the first Mac, finds some bitchin' stuff inside
The Mac web is full of celebrations over the Mac's 30th anniversary today, and popular do-it-yourself site iFixit is observing, too. They've collaborated with Cult of Mac and The Vintage Mac Museum to do a teardown on an original 128K Mac.
They're going full 1984 retro with this teardown, including a video sporting vintage-looking graphics (complete with VHS tracking effect) and iFixit's own Gwendolyn rockin' the side pony and jeans jacket.
I have to say that this video gave me flashbacks to the time I had to take apart my own Mac Plus to replace the flyback transformer. How about you? Ever have to tear apart a vintage Mac?

iFixit tears down the first Mac, finds some bitchin' stuff inside
I still have my first Mac Classic from 1990-1991. It boots and works like a champ.
I have to laugh how Apple sold a "Classic" only 6 years after the original launch.
How things have changed!
Sent from the iMore App
This brought back some hilarious memories from junior high school ('84-'86... damn, I'm old).
Wow, someone older than I. It's not every day I come across that. (-_^) My senior year of HS wasn't til '91.
I wasn't a Mac person til 2008, when I bought a used 2006 Mac mini after my big, noisy Fujitsu Windows XP tower finally died. One of my coworkers was selling it so I bought it off him for $300. That Mac mini never gave me any problems the whole time I had it. Then in 2009 I upgraded to a fully-loaded refurb'd 2008 24" iMac, which I still have. No problems with it either. I never looked back and I'll be using Macs for life.
