Mâcon : Michelin's recommendations
The south of France? This is the initial impression of Mâcon, Chalon's great rival, with the round-tiled roofs of the houses stretching alongside the right bank of the River Saône. Mâcon owes its lively atmosphere to a large stretch of water and its National Wine Fair. The town of Lamartine also offers pleasant rambles in the nearby hills and the vineyards which were so dear to the poet.

Some of the most exciting dive sites yet can be found on your romantic vacation in St Lucia, so grab your scuba gear, and let's head into the blue! Scuba diving is ideal if you're looking for something exhilarating and fun to do with your significant other, while spending time in the most romantic place on the planet!
This week the team at the Rendezvous Couples Resort voted on the top four (non-inclusive) sites in the south of the island. You're sure to fall in love with one, or all of these marine park dives!
Superman's Flight (Soufriere) This is a drift dive on a gentle wall that drops to 500m/1500ft. You enter the water at the base of Petit Piton, which rises 732m/2438ft above you. On this exhilarating drift dive you will ''fly-by'' lots of gorgonians, giant barrel sponges and shoals of brightly colored fish!
The Pinnacles (Soufriere)
This dive site has four pinnacles and is a favorite for divers because of the coral growth and rich life that surround these four pinnacles. It is possible to see anything from sea horses, barracuda to big jacks cruising outside into the blue. There are narrow passage ways between the pinnacles that are very exciting to explore.
Grand Kaye (Soufriere)
Wall or step slope located in the bay of Soufriere. We often find a current that takes us along the site. This is a site where we can spot anything from Barracudas, turtles and on occasion schools of Manta rays. This is always a favorite site.
Petit Trou (little hole) Soufriere
One of the dive sites that offers the most fish, from the small damselfish to the Southern Sting ray. There are lots of moray eels and scorpion fish around; there are also a variety of Snappers here. If we are lucky we can also see a Frogfish. The dive sites ranges from around 15ft/5m to around 40ft/12m.
Best place to spot turtles: Anse-la-Raye Wall
Located just outside the village, 'The Wall' slopes down to around 100ft/30m. This is probably the best place for spotting Turtles as there seems to be three of them living around the site. On this dive we're often accompanied by schools of Creole Wrasse and Spadefish.
Next week we'll tell you more about the dive sites that are all inclusive at the Rendezvous Couples Resort!

The truth about property assessments
1 2 Next page >
With less than three weeks to go before Election Day, former County Executive Tom Suozzi and his cronies have resorted to stretching the truth and exaggerating his record to get you to believe that current County Executive Ed Mangano is bad news for taxpayers.

Sorry Al but the assessment problem is neither Suozzi or Mangano's fault. The problem started in the fact that before properties were reassessed they were all based on 1931 home/land values. Now the problem is that if you do not challenge your assessment and your neighbor does get a reduction yours goes up to pay for his reduction, so it makes property taxes a shell game.
As to raising taxes I wish you would remember how your Buddy Tom Gullota gave away the store to the unions to get the vote, and had no plan how of how to pay for it.
As I have sad before the only way we can lower our taxes is to reduce the salaries and pensions of the Police/Teachers, but no politician would ever propose that since it would be suicide for their career.
Probably the only way to get taxes in line and fair is to get rid of the tax based on a assessed house value, but only tax the land and make the rest of the tax an income tax.
Tuesday, October 22, 2013 | Report this
Independent1 is correct. Assessment reductions/exemptions IS a shell game pitting one property owner against the other. There is plenty of blame to go around for both parties
Neither party has done anything to correct the distorted, inflated, unintended, large exemptions given clergy who own private homes. NYS Real Property Law 460 grants a $1500 exemption to clergy on private homes....in Nassau that exemption is turned into as much as over $18,000. 38 home owners in Hewlett Woodmere pay no school taxes.
Then County Assessor Levinson made a public appeal for a revision of the law in 2006 and not one State , County , or Town rep as spoken to the issue.

The results are in and you are warned– they're not pretty.
American highschools, as a whole, are entering a downward spiral with their SAT scores. Since 2006, SAT scores have fallen by 20 points, dropping from 1518 to 1498 in 2012. The decrease is hitting all three portions of the test: reading, mathematics, and writing.
What could make matters worse? These changes in both the SAT test and the resulting scores are hitting minority groups the hardest. The National Center for Fair and Open Testing reports that the average score for white students has fallen by 4 points. How have the minority groups fended over the years? The average score has fallen by up to a staggering 22 points.
There is, however, one very large exception to this trend. Asian Americans have not been affected in the same manner over the years. In fact, they've had the opposite outcome. Since 2006, the SAT scores of Asian Americans have risen by an astounding 41 points.
Researches, such as those from collegenews.com, have tried to look at the various factors that may have contributed to this strange phenomenon. They pointed out that Asian Americans excelled particularly well in mathematics, but they believe this is due to the fact that 47% of Asian American SAT candidates took advance mathematics courses while only 31% of Latino students and 25% of Black students took similar courses. So the explanation is that study prep is the reason behind the staggering disparity?
Asianweek's Andrew Lam also took a look at these results and argued that a much greater factor to look at is the mentality of Asian Americans. Lam recalls a friend of his who explained to him why success was necessary. "There was no question of failure," Lam writes. "Back home, an army of hungry, ambitious and capable young men and women were dying to take his place, and for [his friend], a boat person who barely survived his perilous journey across the South China Sea, "dying to" was no mere idiomatic expression."
Simply put, our circumstances have often been drastically different. Asianweek points out that it is not uncommon to find Asian parents who focus their entire life on the upward mobility of their children. They sacrifice their own well-being, work three jobs and even live in separate countries to ensure that their children get the necessary prep and education to advance in society. All of this sacrifice is done with the single goal that their children will go on to succeed and have a better life than they did.
Knowing that many of our parents struggled to benefit our education and many individuals in our homeland would ache for the opportunity, how can we not feel the often overwhelming pressure to achieve? How can we not take the extra prep classes? How can we not spend our nights studying for fear that all the sacrifice was for nothing? This pressure, which can drain us mentally and emotionally, is often what pushes us.
Yes, educational prep courses play a factor. But no, that simple explanation does not accurately show the circumstances and pressures placed upon our community. It's much more complicated than that.

Gorgeous work Neyjour!
Are those tiles with white lines in the middle meant to be spiked pits? It's not quite clear.
Btw Your site is great too, how long have you been mapping ?
The Shifting Caverns of Kael'Shaemar is a new tile set I'm working on that will be available as a free download.
Size and Scale info:
The board = 4800 x 3600 pix = 120 x 90 feet
1 map tile = 600 x 600 pix = 15 x 15 feet
1 floor tile = 100 x 100 pix = 2.5 x 2.5 feet
A token/player should take up the space of 1 floor tile
Attached images, from left to right:
* Image 1 - Empty map board showing the grid and 18 tile slots to fill.
* Image 2 - The first 3 pieces of the "Inner Walls" tiles set I've done so far. I want to make about 10 pieces (possibly more), with a duplicate "plain" set that doesn't include the ferns, soil and rubble.
* Image 3 - A "Ruins & Holes" tile set that I'm almost done with. I'd like to have at least 15 pieces for this one.
* Image 4 - Various tiles that will be part of other themed tile sets. I'm thinking of doing a "Crystal Waters" set that will all be pools of water, fountains, etc. "Into the Depths" which will all be stairs, ladders, portals, etc., where players can descend to lower levels. Another (or maybe 2 more) sets of ruins. A "Dangerous Terrain" set with traps, pools of lava, bottomless pits, and other such dangers. I'm also working on a set with a network of streams/rivers, but I'm not far enough along yet with that one to show a preview. And I'm sure there will also be a "Miscellaneous" set of pieces that don't really fit into a specific theme.
* Image 5 - A quick example of some of the tiles on the board.
The board is already finished and will come with 4 different empty tiles, for open spaces and for making your own tiles. As soon as I've finished the "Inner Walls" and "Ruins & Holes" sets, all three will be available (as separate downloads) at the same time. That should give people a fairly decent amount of options to play with while I work on the other sets. If people really like these and they get a lot of downloads, I'll most likely make some additional boards as well.
Gorgeous work Neyjour!

aaronil, thanks very much!
Yeah, they're pit traps with metal spikes. It is a bit difficult to make that out in the small previews, but comes across much better in the full resolution.
Glad you liked my gallery! I started mapping August of last year. I happened to stumble onto the Dundjinni forums, loved the maps I found there, and wanted to give it a try myself.

ATLANTA -- An Italian court this week sentenced six scientists to six years in jail on manslaughter charges for their failure to predict an earthquake in 2009 that left 300 people dead.
This surprise decision has sent aftershocks to scientists all around the globe including Atlanta.
One of the world's foremost experts on earthquakes serves as chair and professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech.
Dr. Reginald DesRoches is friends with one of the scientists sentenced.
"I don't think he ever thought it could end up like this," he said. "I think he's shocked. His family is very upset."
The verdict is unprecedented and has been page one all across Italy.
Newspapers have run banner headlines about the country's most prominent seismologists and geologists.
"I always like to say in my class earthquakes don't kill people, buildings kill people," DesRoches said. "So the real tragedy here (is) they were living in unsafe buildings. That's what needs to be addressed, not the fact that somebody didn't predict an earthquake."
DesRoches says predicting earthquakes is a very imperfect science. It is impossible to predict when, where and how big.
"For this to happen like this, for people to be prosecuted for not predicting an earthquake where earthquakes take place all the time is unfortunate and sad," he said.
And perhaps most telling, he now believes American scientists will be very careful about predicting earthquakes here or even saying anything about their likelihood.
"I think people will be very hesitant about saying anything as it relates to risk mitigation."
Dr. DesRoches says the Italian government is to blame for the deaths. The structures were not up to where they needed to be.

Gamers earn gold to purchase units by controlling (moving units onto) cities around the map. These cities can also be used to grant extra defense to units and will heal units that rest upon them for a turn.

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine.

Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.

Have you ever thought Tetris(R) was evil because it wouldn't send you that straight "I" brick you needed in order to clear four rows at the same time? Well Tetris(R) probably isn't evil, but Bastet certainly is. >
Bastet stands for "bastard tetris", and is a simple ncurses-based Tetris(R) clone for Linux. Unlike normal Tetris(R), however, Bastet does not choose your next brick at random. Instead, Bastet uses a special algorithm designed to choose the worst brick possible. As you can imagine, playing Bastet can be a very frustrating experience!

When you remove the pair, your element becomes the other element of the pair and the score is increased. The gaming field scrolls down and your goal is to stay as long as possible on the field. At the last line, if you can not take the pair in front of you, the scrolling will move your block out and the game will end!

Finding the door is easy because all you have to do is hold down the shift key and move the view around the level. But getting to the door is the tricky part. Don't be fooled by excess bricks placed throughout the level, because more often then not you either don't need them. So experiment around a bit, fall into traps, and get lost a few times, you'll get to the door eventually. Oh and if you get stuck just press the [ESC] key on your keyboard and select "Restart" to restart the level (costs 25points to restart level). If you feel that you are still having problems solving the level feel free to play the level solution.

Scavenger (Version 1.4.5, released Oct 7, 2008) -
Scavenger project is a Lode Runner arcade game clone. You've got to run around and collect objects while avoiding enemies. Some objects are buried and you've got to dig down to get at them.
It's an addictive game and some of the levels are devilishly (cruelly) complicated to solve. There used to be a $20 prize for finishing, but I think it's over now
GuestToo compiled a pup and some cheats, but unfortunately they seem to all be corrupted.
Requires SDL libs. Barrage has them.

SuperTux (Version ???, released Dec 15, 2005) -
I could never try and collect all the games and skip out on SuperTux.
SuperTux is a classic 2D jump'n run sidescroller game in a style similar to the original SuperMario games. Controlled by keyboard the tux can go forward, back and jump. Tux has to overcome a lot of obstacles during his way and to collect gold coins. When he hits a box with question marks then he can pick up additional coins, a flower (which enables him to throw stones to delete deadly moving creatures), a white star (which enlarges his time to reach the door out of this level). If you fail, you can start at this level again and you are not thrown back to the beginning.
SDL and SDL_mixer are needed. If you installed Barrage, you have them. You may also need xorg_OPENGL and xorg_DRI_MODULES from petget. Installs to my-roxapps.

Tower Toppler (Version 1.1.3, released Jun 13, 2006) -
Tower Toppler is a clone of the 8-bit NES game "Castlelian". This is a jump and run game where a cute little green animal has to reach a special door at the top of a tower by jumping and using elevators. The main obstacle in doing this are a lot of other creatures that push you over the edge of the platform you are walking on and make you fall down.
The first pet contains the binary & data files, whereas the second pet has the .ogg sound file & locales. Probably both are required for it to work.

World of Voom is an artillery game inspired by Tank Wars (a small game popular in the 90s). It is turn-based and can be played by 1-10 players on a single machine. There is a wide array of weapons and computer opponents to choose from. Seems to remind me a bit of Worms.

XBill (Version 2.1, released Jul 16, 2007) -
An evil hacker known only as "Bill" has created a virus which resembles a popular operating system. This virus has the potential of turning even the most powerful computer into nothing more than a toaster. As a sysadmin, your job is to squish the evil Bill clones before they can infect your computers with the Wingdows virus. The latest version has more OS icons (including the Linux penguin), and LANs which can spread the virus to networked computers. This is incredibly cute; every anti-Microsoft Linux fan should see this.

Rick can fire bullets, lay sticks of dynamite, walk, crawl, climb, and also poke walls or Bad Guys with his stick. Poking walls can trigger traps, open doors, etc. although sometime a dynamite stick or a bullet is needed. Go figure. Rick starts with six bullets in his gun, and six sticks of dynamite, as shown by the icons at the top of the screen.

*Xsoldier (Version 1.4, released May 11, 2008) -
You control a space ship in a vertically scrolling window and shoot enemies. If you kill the boss enemy which appears at the end of each stage, or if you can survive till the boss enemy gets bored with you and escapes, you can go to the next stage.
xsoldier has a unique feature --- the "not shooting" bonus. You can get a pretty good score by not pressing the shoot button. After all, if the game is a simple kill-everything and shooting is always a good thing, why do I have to press a shoot button? You can play xsoldier as a simple kill-everything (and it is the best way to survive), but if you care your score, you need to kill all enemies with a minimum number of bullets.

Puppy's Games
Edit: This post will no longer be updated. HairyWill has kindly transferred these games to the
. The Puppy Wiki will now be (hopefully) the most up to date collection of Puppy's Games. So if you know any games that aren't added, you can add them to the Wiki.
It's quite amazing when people say there aren't any games for Linux, I can tell you personally, there are lot of games for Puppy, let alone Linux. It's hard to keep track of all Pups games, so I stuck some here. If you know stuff like version numbers, original posts, or stuff I've missed, please let me know.
Just to give credit, where credit is due, I took most of the references from Deshlabs' new (old) index, and pretty much all the descriptions are from different websites.
Xorg_OPENGL and xorg_DRI_MODULES are from petget, most games require these so you might as well install them all if you're into games.
Even though I mention Barrage has the SDL libs, there's no actual need to install Barrage to play all the games. I just mention it so you don't overlap for no reason. Simply install this for SDL libs:
I combined all of Ttuuxxx's packages at the bottom of the page into this pet so you won't need to install them if you use this one.
Edit: I've updated this SDL file with MU's Doom SDL file over Ttuuxxx's SDL stuff as nothing seems to beat MU's trusty SDL. No offence Ttuuxxx.

Since a couple of months, we suffer from accounts being hacked by spambots who sent lots of spam (which in some cases causes our outgoing smtp server being blacklisted).
To my understanding, this is what happens:
Spambots try to logon to the Zimbra webmail interface. It seems sometimes they succeed, even when some users have complex random passwords with special characters (&,#!, ).
Once logged on, they start to send batch mails to a lot of e-mail addresses at ounce. Most of the times, e-mailadresses on yahoo.com, Verizon.net and Comcast.net are targeted.
What weve just find out, is that the spambot also configures a forwarding of all further incoming e-mail to another address (in this case: firstname.lastname@example.com) without leaving a copy in the actual mailbox. They do so, to make sure the user wont be suspicious about the returning non-deliverable messages. Of course, this also causes the user not to receive valid e-mail in his/her mailbox anymore. Also, there are no traces of spam in sent items in the users mailbox.
The first hacked accounts weve encountered still had the sent spam mails in their place and the non-deliverables in the inbox. They getting smarter and smarter.
When logging on to the admin webinterface, the last logon date doesnt correspond to the date the incident happened. For some reason, the last logon date is not updated when the spambots do their job.
We could trace this because our Zimbra servers are using a smart host for all outgoing e-mail (who were used to sent the spam) and and a couple of separate mx anti-virus/spam servers to handle all incoming e-mail (who received the non-deliverables) routed to the Zimbra servers.
Unfortunately, I cant find out the source of the spambots. What ip address did they use to logon to the webinterface? I couldnt find those details in the Zimbra log files. Is there a specific location where webmail logons (and failed attempts) are logged to? I am aware theres a setting that causes accounts being locked after x failed logon attempts within x minutes. But this will really cause some frustrations at our users and helpdesk.
Were currently using Zimbra ZCS 6.0.7 but are planning to upgrade to 7.1.0 in august. Is there a better protection in ZCS 7 against accounts being hacked?
Of course, we would like to know if there is some advice to prevent such successful hacking attempts in the future.
Thanks in advance

Are we headed for a repeat of this year's historic Wimbledon at the Olympics?
It's sure looking good especially if the champs and finalists from that fortnight - Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Venus Williams, Serena Williams - keep their stellar form.
Here are the number of games these ballers have lost through two rounds:
Rafa - 13
Fed - 12
ReRe - 6
Not bad...not bad at all.
Elizabeth Merrill for ESPN.com believes a Rafa-Fed gold medal match could legitimize Olympic tennis in the eyes of its own community and would most certainly pull the sport out from Olympic obscurity:
Federer and Nadal have a unique opportunity this week to help the Olympic cause. If the sport's two most dominant players can advance to Sunday's final, on the heels of their breathtaking match at Wimbledon, it would most certainly be a showcase event in Beijing.
My mouth is watering. And, even though a Venus-Serena gold medal match doesn't garner the same excitement and anticipation, the sisters could reign in three medals themselves since they're also competing in doubles. Nothing to argue about there.
Although it's too early in the tourney to say, I think it could be an incredible moment for the sport of tennis. Let's keep everything crossed.

Thoughts on home schooling now that we're doing it (well, sort of)
Oh, hello 2011. Yes, yes, I realize we are now more than half-way through the first month of this year and I haven't written one blog post yet. I can't say I have any good reasons other than perhaps because I've been obsessively watching the first season of Veronica Mars (via Netflix On Demand) vegging out just a bit and life happens. OK, I confess. I watched the first season finale of Veronica Mars two nights ago – WOW! Now that was a season finale!

Hi guys,
I'm interested in what is the best practices to protect Zimbra's server public IP to become blacklisted if one or some of the hosted email clients would start to send mass ads/spam emails.
I think about dedicating 2-3 public IP addresses to Zimbra host and change it if one become blacklisted. But it is slow solution, it takes long time while DNS records updates on the internet.
Also I think about DNS round robin solution whith 3 A host records with different IP addresses, and all RDNS records of these IP addresses resolves to the same DNS name. Is it good solution?
What other possibilities?

Hi everyone
I've recently migrated myself to Zimbra to test it out, leaving our other 10 users on Exchange (ha ha!)
And one thing I notice is that I tend to get duplicate feed items when I manually "Load Feed"
I did find this bug which was marked as fixed: Bug 15059 – RSS reader downloads duplicates when accessing certain feeds
But I'm experiencing this issue on the latest version of Zimbra.
Some are external feeds eg: Pandora Press: The unofficial community blog
But others are our internal feeds on our intranet that are completely under our control. I coded them myself so that the pubDate and guid tags are a constant for each feed item.
I thought RSS readers should de-dupe based on the guid?
Anyone else still experiencing this problem?
This RSS thing is promising to be a killer feature for us, allowing staff to keep track of orders/bookings etc.
Cheers, B

Diffbot, the "Visual Learning Robot," Helps Web Content Go Mobile
Diffbot is one of those applications (and companies) you probably are not even aware of when you use it, but that's not necessarily a problem for the company's co-founder and CEO Michael Tung.
That's because his product is a "visual learning robot," that hundreds of developers are using to translate web content into better mobile apps, and as such it stays pretty much under the hood.
"We've invented this visual ID algorithm," says Tung. One of our core insights is that the entire web can be classified down to 30 page types. There are product pages, event pages, news pages -- we can identify them visually with 99.999 accuracy."
Diffbot technology identifies each page's components, such as nav bars, footers, etc., as part of its identification process. Design standards are such that there is a high degree of similarity between the various page types grouped by category.
One customer using Diffbot at present is AOL's recently launched Editions, which is a personalized daily magazine for the tablet.

I hope this is in the right place.
We are currently investigating replacing Exchange 2003, and have come across Zimbra over the weekend.
I was considering downloading the trial version of Network Edition Server as this is the route we would go down but for the trial period it would be run in a virtual enviroment (vmware player).
But my thought is will this hamper the expierence (give a false impression of lack of speed), so my question is would I be better have a first look at the trial of Zimbra Appliance or is look/feel/operation completly different.

By Lucia Mutikani
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell to the lowest level in nearly 8-1/2 years last week, suggesting the labor market recovery was gaining traction.
But other data on Thursday showed factory activity cooling this month and new homes sales tumbling in June. Given the volatility of new home sales data, last month's sales plunge is unlikely to change the view of a housing market back on track.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits declined 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 284,000 for the week ended July 19, the lowest level since February 2006, the Labor Department said. Economists had expected claims to rise to 308,000.
The data provided further confirmation that the labor market is tightening. Employment has grown by more than 200,000 jobs in each of the last five months, a stretch not seen since the late 1990s.
"This is consistent with another payroll reading for July, but it will probably not be as strong as June," said Sam Bullard, senior economist with Wells Fargo Securities in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In a separate report, financial data firm Markit said its preliminary U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index slipped to 56.3 in July from 57.3 in June. A reading above 50 signals expansion in factory activity.
Although growth in new orders and factory employment eased a bit, the report continued to point to an acceleration in economic growth early in the third quarter. Growth in the April-June period is forecast topping a 3 percent annual pace.
The economy contracted at a 2.9 percent rate in the first quarter.
While the economy now appears to be firing on nearly all cylinders, housing continues to lag behind despite indications it is starting to recover. A report earlier this week showed existing homes sales at an eight-month high in June.
Another report from the Commerce Department on Thursday showed new home sales dropped 8.1 percent, the largest decline since July 2013, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 406,000 units in June.
U.S. stocks were little changed on the mixed data, while the dollar pared gains versus the yen. Prices for U.S. Treasury debt fell.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen cautioned last week that the Fed could raise interest rates sooner and more rapidly than currently envisioned if the labor market continued to improve faster than anticipated by policymakers.
Economists currently do not expect the U.S. central bank to start raising interest rates before the second half of 2015. The Fed, which is wrapping up its monthly bond buying program, has kept overnight lending rates near zero since December 2008.
"The Federal Reserve will look at this (jobless claims data) as a favorable development for the jobs market as they look toward timing for normalizing monetary policy," Bullard said.
While jobless claims tend to be volatile around this time of the year, when automakers shut down plants for retooling, a Labor Department analyst said there were no special factors influencing the state level data.
The four-week average of claims, considered a better gauge of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, fell 7,250 to 302,000, the lowest level since May 2007.
The claims report showed the number of people still receiving benefits after an initial week of aid fell 8,000 to 2.50 million in the week ended July 12, the lowest level since June 2007.
The so-called continuing claims data covered the week of the household survey from which the unemployment rate is calculated.
Continuing claims fell 68,000 between the June and July survey periods, suggesting the unemployment rate could decline from near a six-year low of 6.1 percent.
The unemployment rate for people receiving jobless benefits was unchanged at 1.9 percent for the week ended July 12.
The decline in continuing claims indicates some long-term unemployed Americans are finding jobs, a key metric for Fed policymakers.
