Chef's around Australia are taking hams to the next level this Christmas.
Welcome to the largest private collection of Burgundy and Bordeaux in the southern hemisphere. You're now allowed to step inside.
For our 50th anniversary issue in 2016, we scoured Australia asking two questions: What dishes are making waves right now? What flavours will take us into the next half-century? Sydney provided 16 answers.
To mark our 50th anniversary, we collaborated with Patron Tequila and Neil Perry to create a Mexican-themed birthday feast.
The chairman and CEO of AccorHotels Asia Pacific, Michael Issenberg, tells us his travel habits - from his pre-flight to the best ways to pass the time in the sky.
At Momofuku Seiobo the food of Barbados has been given a new voice in the most articulate way, writes Pat Nourse, and it's performing on song.
The Everleigh's Michael Mudrusan and Zara Young share their favourite cocktail for every summer occasion, from poolside afternoons to Christmas Day.
Nothing says summer like mangoes. Go beyond the criss-cross cuts - bake a mango-filled meringue loaf with lime mascarpone, start off the day with a sweet coconut quinoa pudding with sticky mango, or toss it through a spicy warm weather Thai salad.
When the mercury is rising, step away from the oven. These recipes are either raw, chilled or frozen and will cool you down in a snap.
Bright blue scampi roe is popping up on menus across Australia. Here's why it's so special.

When the master of Thai food pinpoints anything as his favourite, we sit up and listen.
"Great cake, also known in Barbados as black cake or rum cake, is a variation of British Christmas cake that's smashed with rum and falernum syrup," says Momofuku Seiobo chef Paul Carmichael. "This festive cake varies from household to household but they all have two things in common: tons of dried fruit and rum. It's a cake that should be started at least a month out so the fruit can marinate in the booze. Start this recipe up to five weeks ahead to macerate the fruit and baste the cake."
Whether it's a hand-thrown pasta bowl, a bottle of vodka made from sheep's whey or a completely stylish denim apron, our pop-up Christmas Boutique in collaboration with gift shop Sorry Thanks I Love You has got you covered in the $100 and under budget this Christmas.
This is a beautifully hearty vegetarian dish, but if you're feeling more carnivorous, you could add some good pork sausage to the mix - squeeze a couple of sausages out of their skins, break into chunks and add to the pan when the onion is almost cooked.

Snowden deja vuJuly 03,2013
Snowden deja vu
The Edward Snowden mess and his secret spying report reminds me of the Bob Lazar secret UFO/flying saucer fiasco report. These two men have a lot in common. They both are your basic high IQ, all brains, genius, they kind of look the part of the studious know-it-all with glasses, they both are approximately 30 years old when they disclose the classified info, (Lazar age 33 in 1989 and Snowden age 30 in 2013), they both worked for the federal government at secret places, and they both went to the media to report their tales of woe. Lazar said he was working as a physicist at Area 51 and Snowden at the National Security Agency. The problem for Lazar is he could never prove anything he said about reverse engineering alien flying saucers, etc. Now, Snowden has the same problem. If all the things he is alleging are top secret, how will he prove any of it? He is now a hunted man and wanted for crimes in the USA. He is seeking asylum in a foreign land where he thinks hell be safe. Lazar was never charged with anything because it was all denied and proven to be fake. Snowden will no doubt suffer the same fate or much worse. These guys should have gone to their boss or their local congressman instead of the media. Theyd be a lot less famous and a lot better off.

Internet can be fun. One can play online games, chat with friends, post and share pictures and stories on Facebook, Twitter or MySpace.net. But when the youngest Internet users go online, there are some underlying threats you should think about. Read what you as a parent should be aware of.
As parent you should be aware of:
- Your child might be exposed to inappropriate images or content that contains violence, racial hatred, propaganda and pornography.
- Sexual predators, which can befriend your children in chat rooms and via social networking sites or email.
- Online bullying or harassment via instant messaging, social networking sites or online games.
- Unintentional disclosure of sensitive personal information.
- Download of files that contain malicious software.
- Phishing email, scams and infected email attachments.
What you can do to help them to be safe:
- Be open and honest with your kids and teens about the dangers on the internet. Advice against using nicknames that can suggest user's age and gender.
- Teach your kids to be extremely cautious when downloading files sent by friends and especially unknown senders.
- Unfortunately, kids rarely confine in their parents about the abuse, so try to detect early signs, such as anxiety when picking up the phone or going online.
- Stress that kids should talk to you about any form of bullying they endure. Report incidents to the service provider or website host.
- Tell your kids never to disclose personal information to strangers, or even friends via instant messaging services.
- Download parental control software, which you can set to prevent your kids going on specified websites, control their msn-contacts and much more.
- Set limit to time your kids spend online.

Posted over 6 years ago in reply to JohnRN
Ah well thats worth a try. I do peoples ironing for a living and mondays are my worst days usually stood for 4 hours solid. Ive tried to run after that and my calves just wont have it, the screw up so tight it brings tears to my eyes so I never run after a lot of standing. Maybe sitting does the same I cant se why not. The only suggesting I would say is, is it possible for you to stretch your calves 2 or 3 times during the day? You probably already do but I didnt until physio suggested it and it has made a difference. So has the foam roller but ouch its not pleasant....have you got one of those?
Posted over 6 years ago in reply to Trout
I have considered the foam roller and I have been wondering about concocting something like it.
Just got back from a walk. I did the 2 miler and timed myself coming back at my 'brisk' pace. 13' 12". This is faster than 4 miles an hour so I have mapped it on the new route map facility here on the Bug and found that it is 1.625km, exactly 1 mile!!! Yoo hoo! Previously I had only measured it in the van when I set off that way.
"This is where it hurts, Doctor."
I went out for an unambitious trot on Sunday morning. Set off at a brisk walk to warm up and then jogged abit. Walked a bit more and then on the second jog I could feel the tension in the calf of my right leg.
I got home and did yet another search and came up with the site above that actualy says the thing about pushing car pedals. Bingo!
I am going to beat this and there will be no 'outings' till I can comforatbly achieve the acceptable stretch. I got some of those heat patches to put on the area with a bandage.
3 weeks to the cruise.
Got another stretchy cohesive bandage as I liked the first one so much. Now I can have one on each leg. The calf stretches are getting habitual, like a funny little dance I do. I can make the exact 'bit' of my leg ache, so it must be the right thing that I am working on. I have also worked on a different way of pressing down the pedals in my van that does not create the repetetive strain in the same place.
Oh dear. I couldn't wait any longer. I got to Nether Heyford early so decided to have a trot through the fields. Only got about a quarter of a mile and the thing in my calf went twang, like some one had whacked me with a rubber band. So I walked back and now I have a huge ice pack strapped to my right calf. Actually its a bag of frozen marrow!
Wow! Last post 9th November. Where have I been? Well I have been giving my calf muscles and tendons a good rest and the next part of the plan is to exercise the weak part to make it stronger at the same time as introducing the stretches.
Only four days work before hols. Steaming out of Southampton on Monday and heading for warmer climes! And not a moment to soon by the sound of the weather forecasters.
Just done 8.4 kms on the road in 1hr 10mins. A fabulous moonlit night. Not a breath of wind. A very enjoyable experience - it was a walk! Plotted it on the route thingy as Overwood Teardrop.
Posted over 5 years ago in reply to JohnRN
Feeling good. Back from a cruise to the Canary Islands and back. Lots of rest and food, but managed to get in to the 'fitness centre' each morning apart from the last one when there simply wasn't time. I got used to the treadmill eventually, though the rougher seas caused some runner stability problems! Gave the static bikes some stick too. My new Adidas have bedded in well. Enjoyed stretching, and hopefully strengthening, my calf muscle groups on a machine that allowed me to adjust the load and sit down while I was excercising.
I have not been out today.
Phew! It was frosty this morning and very slippery on the pavements and road. I teetered along to the park where I did a mixture of walking, stretching and running along the gravel surfaced 'Broad Walk'. My lungs told me I had achieved very little improvement in my fitness whilst on holiday, but at least my legs are working.
Very good to hear your calf muscles are better, John! I take my hat off to you for going to the gym every morning whilst on holiday. Mornings make so much more sense than evenings but I just can't seem to bring myself to get up early enough.
All the best
Posted over 5 years ago in reply to liewal
Hi Liewal, there was a very good reason for being in the gym on the boat first thing. I got to watch us coming in to port. It had the best 'inside' view as it was just above the bridge. Unenergetic types, used to gather in their chairs to spy down on to the wings of the bridge. I would try to make as much noise and sweat to put them off!
Been out in the park today as I have some time off in lieu of the stupid hours I have been working this week. The air is very cold and my chest got rattley after a few walk/jogs along the Broad Walk.
I was amused by a gaggle of school kids going up and down the 60 steps in the 'sports kit' - must have been bloomin' freezin'.
No 'outing' yesterday, too busy with clearing snow, doing shopping and socialising. Got out in the park again today. A bit more jogging than walking today. Cold air making me wheeze again, but sun on snow was dazzlingly good.
An unexpected treat to be able to get out today. Did a manic drive in the van yesterday down to Worthing and back in 'crippled by snow Britain'. I only experienced one sticky spot and that was in Bromsgrove so I stopped for a big brekkie in Morrisons :D.
Very cold air again, so loathed to breath to heavily, hence a lot of walking and stretching to interrupt the jog in the park.
I am thinking about doing the Morecambe Bay Run on July 24th.
Finished work for the Festive Season so got out for a trot in the park on Thursday. A funny thing happened.
A dog appeared from nowhere, it was mainly white and small, and ran between my legs from the side. I clocked it one with my right foot as it came through. The dog yelped and went off to it's master who was quite amused by it getting caught out. She was a young b*i*t*c*h and very excitable. Though I tried to make friends, she would not come to me and fussed around her master. I said that with a bit of luck she will think twice next time she 'plays' with someone running.
I carried on with my session and went home.
In the afternoon I had some computer work to do and sat virtually motionless for the rest of the day, then at around teatime my foot started to ache. I thought maybe I had been sat awkwardly and that the pain would pass. However, my foot got more painfull and got hot. I compared the colour with me left foot and it was decidely pink and warmer to the touch!
I took some ibuprofen after tea and laid an ice pack over it.
It was much better this morning, but there is still a remnance of the problem. How weird is this!!!
On Sunday, or Boxing Day, I went for a walk to the pub. Good training, as it was 4 miles away, and I walked back via two other pubs.
Yesterday I went for a trot in the park and was pleased that it was warmer. Even so I was breathing like an old steam engine. If my legs stay loose then I may get a bit fitter by the end of the hols.

News analysis
Updated at 9:50 a.m. ET: KABUL, Afghanistan - Many Afghans see dark clouds of uncertainty looming over the calendar as the 2014 deadline approaches for most foreign troops to withdraw, and worry that after that the international community will abandon them.
Over the last decade, billions of aid dollars have flowed into Afghanistan, and thousands of foreign soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians have died during the effort to bring peace and a modicum of prosperity to the country. Meanwhile, the government of President Hamid Karzai has passed laws meant to improve the lives of his citizens. Nevertheless, Afghanistan still faces huge problems, such as widespread violence, official corruption, grinding poverty and a booming narcotics trade.
EXCLUSIVE: US, NATO behind 'insecurity' in Afghanistan, Karzai says
"Plagued by factionalism and corruption, Afghanistan is far from ready to assume responsibility for security when U.S. and NATO forces withdraw in 2014," think tank International Crisis Group said in a recent report.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai highlighted that his country "paid a heavy price" during the war on terror when he sat down with NBC News' Atia Abawi in Kabul on Thursday. "I don't even know if al-Qaida exists as an organization as it is being spoken about," added Karzai, who expressed great frustration with the U.S. Watch some highlights of the exclusive interview.
The Taliban are regaining land and power lost after they were toppled by U.S.-backed forces in 2001. While there have been more than 2,000 American military casualties during this time, civilians have borne the brunt of the violence. In the first six months of 2012 alone, more than 3,000 civilians were killed or injured, according the United Nations. This number was down 15 percent from a year earlier. Anti-government and coalition insurgents were responsible for 80 percent of the civilian casualties, the U.N. says.

Members of the Afghan Border Patrol are assisted by a member of the Afghan National Army (ANA) (2R) during a training session at the Narizah base in Narizah, Khost Province on August 13, 2012. Some 130,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan are preparing to withdraw in 2014 and are training and working alongside Afghan soldiers as they take increasing responsibility for the anti-insurgency campaign.
More than 300,000 Afghan National Army soldiers and Afghan National Police members have been trained to replace foreign soldiers. Afghan security forces face big challenges, such as attrition, illiteracy and insurgent infiltration.

Poverty and corruption
Most Afghans are not just living in fear of an insurgent attack or NATO airstrike. They fear hunger and worry that they and their families won't survive another winter.
Afghans are among the poorest people on earth. According to the World Bank, per capita GDP was around $576 in 2011, up from $158 in 2002.
More than half of children under the age of five are malnourished, according to the World Food Program.

Afghanistan remains largely dependent on foreign aid – the World Bank says that 90 percent of the country's national budget is still financed by governments and other foreign organizations.
Along with the huge inflows of foreign aid and poverty is corruption: the country is tied with Somalia and North Korea at the bottom of Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index 2012.
A 2012 United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report estimated that Afghans paid $2.5 billion in bribes over 12 months, which is equivalent to almost a quarter of the country's GDP.
In 2001, Afghan women were the poster children for the invasion. Promises poured in to help half of the society that was brutalized and banished during the Taliban. Despite the pledges, Afghanistan remains one of the most difficult places in the world to be a woman: it has one of the highest levels of maternal mortality and, according to U.N. estimates, around 90 percent of women suffer from some sort of domestic abuse.

Nevertheless, there has been some progress. In 2004, President Karzai signed into law a new constitution granting equality among all its citizens and ensuring women's rights. And in 2009 the country passed the Elimination of Violence Against Women Law, intended to protect women from abuse, rape, and forced marriages. While the laws were all positive steps such legislation is rarely enforced.
More Afghanistan coverage from NBC News
The ministry of women's affairs in Kabul says that from April through July of this year at least 3,600 cases of violence against women were recorded. However, this grim number may be seen as a sign of progress because it means more families and women are learning about their rights and reporting their grievances.
Soosan Firooz rhymes about Afghanistan and the many crises its people have faced. In a country where public performance by women is frowned upon, this is no easy feat. NBC News' Tazeen Ahmad reports.
Afghanistan has long-produced about 90 percent of the world's opium, a paste from the poppy plant that is mad into make heroin. At the end of the Taliban's rule, the government worked with the U.N. to cut production by around 90 percent.
In the last decade, opium production increased again. It is now the largest source of export earnings and accounts for half of Afghanistan's GDP, according to humanitarian news site AlertNet.
All hope is not lost in Afghanistan, progress has been made in small steps rather than the giant leaps expected when United States-backed forces toppled the Taliban.

In 2001, girls were denied an education under the Taliban regime and only 900,000 children were enrolled in school throughout Afghanistan. Today, at least 7 million children are attending classes and 2.5-million are estimated to be girls, according to Amnesty International. In the cities, you see women in the workforce again, doctors, politicians and even business owners.
Still, many fear that these delicate gains will disappear as the last foreign combat troops leave Afghanistan on Dec. 31, 2014.
In an exclusive interview with NBC's Atia Abawi, Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai says that the U.S. is not sticking to a signed agreement between their two countries.

Tied with Vandeventer in third place was Johnny DelPrete of Palm City, Fla. with 72-71-69â212. Fifth place in the Boys Division went to Chad Vivolo of Carmel, Calif. with a 72-72-69â213. In the Girls Division, Harter entered the day in fifth place, four shots back of the leaders. Starting on hole No. 2, Harter bogeyed four of her first six holes, but recovered to even-par heading into her fnial hole, No. 1. Without any knowledge of how the other Girls Division competitors were scoring, Harter had a feeling that her last hole would be a deciding factor in the tournament.âThrough the whole round, all I wanted to do was put up a good scoreâbetter than the first two rounds at least,â said Harter, who was playing in her final Nike Junior event due to age limitations. âI had a five-footer for par and I thought to myself, âthis putt might determine who wins.â I didnât give up and I wanted to win.â Harterâs par on No. 1 gave her a 77-77-72â226 and a one stroke victory over Kristen Hill of Weston, Fla. Hill finished alone in second place with a 75-78-74â227. The second round co-leaders, Kathryn Detlefsen of Eagan, Minn., and Whitney Wenglasz of Oldsmar, Fla. both carded final-round 78s for tournament totals of 228, two shots back of Harter. Thursdayâs final round included a rare hole-in-one by Ryan Haselden of Houston, Texas on the 167-yard No. 3.The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

4-30-10 Progressive Field
I decided to attend today's Twins vs Indians game to try and snag a Twins Target Field commemorative ball.
Surprisingly, I wouldn't have to wait long at all. Within 30 seconds of entering the stadium, I found my first ball of the day laying in the bleachers. Upon later inspecting it, I found out that it was indeed a 2010 Target Field ball.
Unfortunately, the logo was badly beat up.
There was no other Easter Eggs to be found.
Batting practice was rather slow today during the Indians portion, so I attempted to get a few toss ups. I got Chris Perez to toss me a ball, but some guy reached in front of me and robbed me.
When I saw the ball stayed in the trees and didn't bounce out, I was off sprinting to Heritage Park.
Also running towards Heritage Park in front of me were Nick and Bryan Pelescak, as well as some other local Cleveland ballhawk.
We all got to the area at about the same time. As I was searching for the ball, I heard a fellow fan saw, "it hit farther down." Myself and the local Cleveland ballhawk got to the spot at the same time. There it was. Justin Morneau career home run #168. The ball was impossible for anyone to get as it was lodged in the base of one of the hemlocks, between three thick branches.
It didn't matter though, as I reached in with my stick (collibsible yard stick), poked the ball loose, and grabbed ball #10, and my third game ball of 2010.
The ball didn't come without controversy, as the other ballhawk was real upset that he wasn't able to get it. He wasn't prepared. Luckily a cop was ri
ght there, and told me and the other guy that it was mine to get, as I "had something to get it with."
Of course the other guy was a really sore loser and complained and heckled me the rest of the night. Apparently he reads this blog and takes exception to me and the fact that I catch a lot of baseballs. Whatever though. I dropped it and spent the rest of the game in left field foul territory, and came close on at least three foul balls.
I would finish the game with ten.
Nick snagged 11, and his brother Bryan 7. 28 between the three of us.
A good night at Progressive
Here are today's baseballs: (Morneau HR #168 in foreground)
and the sweet spots:
By the way, this is the video of Justin Morneau's home run in the first inning.
Game: 10 balls (4 hit, 3 thrown, 1 device, 2 found)
Season: 61 balls (38 hit, 10 thrown, 7 device, 6 found)
Games: 9 games
Average: 6.78 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 3
Career: 639 balls
Streak: 105 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 14,124
2009 through 8 games: 42 (Currently I am 19 balls ahead of last year's career high season pace)

I think its fine that you want to make your point. Here's the problem. Dude, you have the worst spelling and grammar I think I have ever seen in my entire life.

It was my privilege to represent WEF on July 25 as a witness at a U.S. House of Representatives hearing that examined the recently released EPA Clean Water Act (CWA) Integrated Planning & Permitting Framework.
Other witnesses included elected officials (the Mayors of Lima, Ohio and Salt Lake City), municipal utility directors (George Hawkins from DC Water and Carter Strickland from New York City), and state water administrators (my friend Walt Baker from Utah).
WEF was an active participant in the development of the Framework and we hosted a webcast for our members immediately after its release.
The framework comes at a time when states and local governments are facing significant resource challenges (not to mention looming additional budget cuts at EPA and in federal grants to states to support water infrastructure). Now more than ever, we must ensure wise investment of precious and finite resources. Nearly 40 years after the passage of the CWA in 1972, this framework provides the potential for a major paradigm shift in urban water management by directing available resources to those projects or initiatives that will produce the greatest public health and water quality return on investment. The CWA has been implemented and enforced as a top-down approach, but this framework should allow a locally driven, bottom-up method to manage and prioritize water programs and requirements. The framework includes adaptive management principles; water professionals have come to realize that an iterative, adaptive management approach makes the most fiscal and environmental sense. EPA and states should include such principles in all permits and enforcement orders moving forward, regardless of which communities volunteer to have an integrated plan.
WEF members, along with other key stakeholders, firmly believe that EPA must stop treating local governments like polluters and instead should embrace them as partners. We know from 40 years of experience that success with the CWA is best achieved when there is cooperation among regulators and stakeholders, including EPA headquarters and regions, states, local governments and utilities, regional agencies, the technical community, and engaged citizens. The framework is a symbol of this collaborative spirit.
As I emphasized during the hearing, policy is not implementation. WEF will not sit idly by and wait to see if this effort succeeds or fails. WEF will monitor implementation and work to ensure that the flexibility afforded by the framework is available to all communities regardless of size or location. We will continue to work with EPA to push for even more flexibility, particularly with regard to affordability; we will provide education and training to our members on integrated planning; and we always will be seeking the most innovative and cost-effective approaches to water infrastructure investment and program management because as we all know, Water's Worth It

When Gov. Scott Walker makes campaign stops, he often obliges supporters who ask him to pose for pictures or autograph signs and T-shirts. But one Menomonee Falls man found an even more prominent way to show his loyalty.
Walker was visiting supporters Sunday in Germantown when he met 81-year-old Stan Larson. Larson smiled and asked him to sign the hood of his sparkling red 1965 Mustang using a permanent marker.
Walker asked if Larson was sure. When Larson said yes, Walker wrote, "On Wisconsin!" and his signature. The message covered less area than the size of a business card.
Larson says he's grateful for the autograph. He says, "I'm damn proud of my car and I'm damn proud of my governor," and he's elated to show off both of them.

|The global economic crisis has transformed into an organizational focus of delivering management value for capital project performance.
This important role often times requires the adoption of new technologies for improved project and organizational performance, especially when delivering project portfolios. Implementing new technology or processes is not easy; there are many challenges such as lack of standards or requirements, unavailable resources, human factors, and resistance to change that may include fear of failure, organizational culture, and uncertainty about the end results.
This presentation will describe how project controls system implementations can be successful if strategic approaches are adopted, results measured, and strategies developed to drive results. Recommendations for change management strategies will be offered including defining goals, spreading awareness, managing change, and obtaining buy-in. Several industry examples involving project controls systems implementations from around the world will be discussed to support the hypothesis.

Four and a half billion light-years away in the constellation Virgo, scores of galaxies have been drawn together by the mutual gravitational pull. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has peered at this galaxy cluster and gravitational lens, known as MACS 1206. Gravity from the cluster's immense mass bends the space around it, causing the images of more distant galaxies directly behind the cluster (that are within our line of sight) to be warped and cast into arc-like smears of light. The orange streak to the right of the image center is one such example of an optically distorted galaxy that resides millions of light-years behind MACS 1206. The circular pattern of smaller galaxy pieces is more evidence of gravitational lensing.
The central object in the cluster is a giant elliptical galaxy plump with billions of old, reddish suns, surrounded by a thinner halo of stars. Disk-shaped spiral galaxies appear, both edge- and face-on, showing a defined structure of arms encircling their central bulges. The bluer galaxies have stars actively forming within them and, consequently, host groups of young blue stars that contribute to their overall hue. In contrast, red galaxies — especially those elliptical galaxies like the center one — are more stable in their behavior, with very few little recent star formation.

Ohio Northern University's Dicke College of Business Administration ranked No. 62 in the nation by Bloomberg Businessweek
Ohio Northern University's Dicke College of Business Administration has been ranked No. 62 in the nation by Bloomberg Businessweek in the publication's annual rankings of undergraduate business programs.
Ranked third in the state of Ohio, Ohio Northern earned high marks in the nine categories used for the rankings, including an "A" in the "Teaching Quality Grade" category. In academic quality, ONU was ranked 14th overall in the nation. In 2010, ONU was ranked 72nd overall.
"This ranking is a reflection of the high quality of work and effort done by our students, faculty and staff," said Dr. Jim Fenton, dean of the Dicke College of Business Administration. "It also reflects the support that we have received from the ONU administration and our dedicated alumni network, particularly those who have employed our interns and graduates. Truly, for the college to receive such a ranking is an achievement based on a total team effort."
Bloomberg Businessweek uses nine measures to rank these programs, including surveys of senior business majors and corporate recruiters, median starting salaries for graduates, and the number of alumni each program sends to top Master of Business programs. An academic quality rating for each program, generated by considering average SAT scores, student-faculty ratios, class size, the percentage of students with internships and the number of hours students devote to class work, was also calculated into the rankings.

Q&A: Schumer's Proposal to Strip Benefits of Corporate Earnings Stripping
Earnings stripping involves loading up a U.S. subsidiary of a foreign-domiciled company with debt. When the U.S. subsidiary repays the foreign parent, interest payments are deductible from U.S. taxes. The effect is to remove earnings from the U.S., where the corporate tax rate of 35% is the highest in the developed world. Earnings stripping is one of the major benefits of engaging in a corporate inversion and it the target of congressional criticism. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on Wednesday said he will propose new restrictions in Congress.
What Mr. Schumer's proposal do?
There are four key elements, which in large part targets Internal Revenue Service rules implemented under section 163(j) of the tax code.
1) Repeal part of an IRS rule on interest-expense deductions. The U.S. tax code is supposed to discourage "leakage" of U.S. taxes overseas, but some policy-makers view the rules as riddled with loopholes. One is an IRS provision giving U.S. subsidiaries with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.5 or less a free pass from further scrutiny of allowable tax deductions. Mr. Schumer's proposal would eliminate that provision.
2) Reduce the permitted net interest expense to 25% from 50% of the subsidiary's adjusted taxable income, which would reduce the tax benefits.
3) Repeal the ability to carry forward disallowed interest deductions into future tax years. Currently, there is a ceiling on how much interest may be deducted each year. Companies may carry any excess interest deductions to future years. This means that if a company's debt level decreases in one year, it can pile in the previous year's interest payment into the current year's tax deductions. Mr. Schumer wants to stop that.
4) Require the U.S. subsidiary to obtain IRS pre-approval each year on the terms of transactions with the parent company or other related parties for 10 years after a corporate inversion. This would give the IRS a new tool to deal with earnings stripping.
Why is something so technical becoming so important?
Lawmakers are concerned about the erosion of the U.S. tax base because with reduced tax revenue it is harder to carry out the functions of government. While lawmakers view inversions as bad, they worry the practice of earnings stripping has the potential to magnify the problem because it makes inversions appealing to companies with primarily U.S. revenue, not simply companies with a large share of foreign revenue.
If just one lawmaker has a proposal, is it really important?
Mr. Schumer is a member of the Senate Finance Committee, a senior Democrat and member of the party's Senate leadership. His proposal amounts to the Democratic proposal for dealing with earnings stripping and so is the one that Democrats are likely to push. In addition, earnings stripping is seen as the most likely measure on inversions to attract bipartisan Senate support.
But doesn't the Constitution require tax legislation to originate in the House?
Yes, but it doesn't always work out that way. However, House Republicans have been reluctant to advance a short-term measure cracking down on inversions, citing concerns it would make U.S. companies vulnerable to a foreign takeover.
What happens next?
The first stop is the Senate Finance Committee. Chairman Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) said on Thursday that addressing earnings stripping is "a key piece of any sound solution" to addressing corporate inversions, and added that he hopes to have "bipartisan legislation in place come September" to deal with the overall issue.

I'm a jewelry girl, but I'm not a jewelry girl. When it comes to accessories, I will always opt to splurge on handbags before shoes or jewelry. When it is time to buy some jewels, I love a trendy statement piece and I don't seek out precious stones or solid gold. However, if I were to do so, I might turn to Hermes Exceptional Jewelry - when you have hundreds of thousands of imaginary dollars to spend on jewelry and you already love the Hermes brand, then why not?
So today, we have a gallery of some overly extravagant and overly priced Hermes goods, because that's the sort of thing that we're prone to spend our days looking at. If you had the money, would you buy any of these pieces?

So, here we go again....
Greetings all, and thanks to David for setting up this new board.
For those who haven't hitherto encountered me, I'm a Theravadin bhikkhu, living at the Marble Temple in Bangkok and currently studying Abhidhamma at Wat Rakhang and (starting next month) teaching Vinaya at Benchamabophitr College. I was born and raised in England, but have been an ex-pat for the last 23 years, residing mainly in Thailand and Iceland. I have studied and practised with teachers in a number of the sub-traditions of the Theravada, but currently lean mostly towards rigorous Burmese-style pariyatti, and gentle Thai-style practice (especially as exemplified in the satipatthana teachings of the late Acharn Naeb).
Best wishes,
Dhammanando Bhikkhu

"Anyone who's been in battle recognizes there are great sacrifices made on both sides," said Queen Lilioukalani Trustee and former Hawaii judge Tom Kaulukukui.
"It's been in my family for nearly 70 years," he told KITV reporter Lara Yamada, holding the rifle his father gave him so many years ago.
But nearing the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Kaulukukui realized it was time to tell its story and return it home.
"He played a number of sports," he said of his father Tom Kalukukui Sr.
He was an outstanding athlete in Hawaii, an All-American who played many sports including football, baseball and volleyball.
By the end of World War II, he was on his way to Japan.
His team would win the Army Pacific Championship in Tokyo, but it was the prizes that stunned them the most.
"The team was taken to a room where he said there was a pile of captured Japanese weapons and they were told take whatever they want," said Kaulukukui.
"This translates to Okazaki Naval Air Group," read Japan American Society of Hawaii President Ed Hawkins.
When he heard of the story, he wanted to help.
He learned that soon-to-be kamikaze pilots trained with that type of rifle.
Hawkins, along with the help of a friend, found a museum for it in Kanoya, Japan.
"About half of all the Kamikaze missions launched against the U.S. Fleet flew from Kanoya," said Hawkins.
"Somebody had this at a garage sale in Kailua," said Fort DeRussy Army Museum historian Sheldon Tyau, who was pointing to a rare bomber site in a glass case.
He said the war artifacts and collector's items are the reason so many people visit Hawaii's Fort DeRussy museum.
"The Pacific battles were some of the fiercest that were fought. These were kids that were 17, 18, 19 years old," he said.
The rifle was only here briefly at Fort DeRussy museum, but it was the perfect place for a handing over ceremony.
The halls are filled with memorabilia from past wars and from the people who served in them.
"I was moved to send it back to Japan because it represents the courage of their soldiers. It didn't take long to figure out it's the right thing to do," said Kaulukukui.

The School Bond election in Kenedy is coming up quickly.
I find this bond election so important to the future of our education system here in Kenedy; I wanted to share my thoughts.
With the blessings of the Eagle Ford shale, the oil companies are footing over 50 percent of the tab for upgrading and securing our Kenedy schools.
It would be a shame to let this opportunity pass us by.
Our portion, as homeowners, averages about 20 dollars a month.
The first thing that struck me is the fence around the elementary school…
After the tragedy at Sandy Hook, should we not make every precaution to ensure the safety of our most vulnerable citizens.
The main part of the bond pays for a new High School and Middle School, new band room, science wing, cafeteria and revamping the gym.
Last week's Bluebonnet Coronation I attended, the chair in the auditorium broke right out from under someone's seat.
The bond also includes a new auditorium.
As a developer and builder here, I was also struck by how out of code our school buildings are.
Is it not worth a 20-dollar bill to improve the safety and security of our children, not to mention creating an environment that may spawn our educators to seek out our city, and improve overall our education system?
I urge you to consider the pamphlet handed out to all residents.
I will be voting "yes" for the new schools and improvements,
I urge you to vote "yes," if not for yourself, for the future of Kenedy ISD, its students, educators, staff and administrators.

was just wondering what your thought/reactions would be if we were to merge with someone? Now im not even sure who we could merge with tbh but thought if we changed the name to "North Yorkshire Knights" or something we could perhaps appeal to a wider audience and have road games in Scarborough etc(if they have a suitable ground) much like Wests in the NRL. But would that even change anything? I'm not sure.
This topic is purely hypothetical, I probably wouldn't want this to happen, but who knows, this is Rugby League after all.

The Family Way
Mijares Mexican Restaurant celebrates 90 years in Pasadena and the woman who started it all.
By Dan O'Heron 06/09/2011
For a restaurant to be owned and operated by one family for nine decades — and remain vibrant and thriving throughout all that time — is just as remarkable as the city of Pasadena celebrating its 125th birthday, perhaps even more so.
These days, the restaurant is owned and operated by partner and General Manager R-lene Mijares de Lang, the granddaughter of founder Jesusita Mijares. De Lang is assisted by her mother Alice Mijares Recendez, brother Tom Recendez and sister Tina Jimenez. "Our family," says de Lang, "still honors Jesucita's life, business and legacy — it's kept us going for 90 years."
What was it like for Jesusita and the restaurant growing up with the city?
Following is a brief history of Pasadena's oldest and one of its most popular, restaurants:
1918: Fleeing civil-war torn Jalisco, Mexico, Jesusita, a now-widowed teenage bride left alone with an infant daughter, first settled in Richmond, Calif., and remarried.
Nov. 11, 1918: World War I ends and a ban on public gathering is lifted.
1920: Remarried, a daughter is born to the young couple who settled on South Raymond Avenue and Fillmore Street. One night, Jesusita's husband, believed to be on his way to a gambling house, was robbed of $300 and fatally shot within a few blocks of their home.
Jan. 16, 1920: Prohibition begins. Millions of gallons of liquor are shipped to Tijuana and Mexicali. Pasadenans flock to Mexico.
1920: Twice-widowed Jesusita opens her home to boarders and, buying corn for her metate stone grinder at $2 for a 100-pound sack, turns the house into a small tortilla- and tamale-making factory.
Oct. 25, 1929: Black Friday. The stock market crashes, companies close and millions are out of work. To make ends meet, Jesusita begins to wheel shopping carts full of tortillas and tamales around the neighborhood.
Dec. 5, 1933: Prohibition ends. People are allowed to take home up to five gallons of liquor.
1935: Armed with a new tortilla-making machine, Jesusita got up at 3 a.m. and turned out 500 dozen tortillas a day, which she sold to grocery stores.
1940s: During World War II and throughout the 1940s, "California, Here I Come" was becoming a national anthem. Settlers who had never seen an ocean, an orange or a taco came from all over the country. For Pasadenans, Mijares tacos were becoming as familiar as hot dogs. To newcomers, Jesusita had to explain that a taco could be eaten just like a sandwich.
1965: After seeing Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello get wet together in films like "Beach Blanket Bingo," cozy couples were stopping by Jesusita's home and restaurant after the movies.
1978: Jesusita's home and business are destroyed by arson. Five years later, after penny-pinching and cajoling lenders, Jesusita and her daughter, Alice, purchase a large property and build a new restaurant at its present location.
March 17, 1984: On St. Patrick's Day, mother and daughter add a small Mijares restaurant on Washington Boulevard.
Feb. 3, 1988: After a life measured by smiles and spoonfuls, Jesusita dies. Today, her memory is enshrined by a large photo portrait of her that hangs in the restaurant's banquet room.
1988: After Jesusita's death, granddaughter R-lene gives up a teaching career in San Diego and returns to the business. "These were bad times," she recalls. "I felt the restaurant needed me."
Jan. 17 1994: Mijares' bartender Jorge Palma's famous margaritas get shaken that day like few other times during the Northridge earthquake.
With all it has going for it, the restaurant doesn't act its age. It conjures for me the picture of an elderly woman who is not afraid to look in the mirror because she sees a reflection of time well spent and a desire for much more to wish for.
The stage is set and the scene is impressive: A meandering tour of the sprawling grounds reveals an entry bar and a cocktail party patio, a capacious central dining room, a colorful banquet hall plus three patios webbed with vines and sheltered by trees.
Paintings, murals, floor tiles, dining furniture, doodads and doohickeys have been vigilantly attended to and are still unfading after 90 years. Add the charm of the staff, zesty dinner combos and stirring margaritas, and all things work together in the most hospitable of ways, just as they must have in the elegant villas of Jesusita's old Mexico.
The future? Like the city, the restaurant has time on its side — if it doesn't act its age.

text: Brands and StylesWe specialise in non-stretch nylon stockings that require a garter belt (aka suspender belt). Most of the stockings in our extensive range are 'vintage', 'classic' or genuine 'retro', and, wherever possible, they are offered for sale in the original packaging.We regularly travel to find new stock, and the vintage nylon stockings we select for inclusion in our store vary from durable everyday 20 or 30 denier micromesh stockings to ultra-sheer, gossamer-fine 7 denier slinky plain knit stockings. We include nylons in many delightful fashion shades from many famous and historical brand names such as Cristina, Kunert, La Giarrettiera, Levante, MyWay, Peggys Pride, Santerno, Three Bs, in sizes from exceptionally small (size 8) through to large (size 11). Occasionally we also offer a few, carefully selected, classic nylon stockings which may have a degree of stretch, but the majority of our stock consists of non-stretch all-nylon vintage stockings.Recapture the glamour of the past with Ho-hose vintage nylon stockingsRemember those lovely sheer 'RHT' and 'FF' (aka seamed) stockings (nylons) from the elegant and stylish past — when ladies were feminine? Ho-hose offers nylons that recapture the glamour of the past. Non-stretch nylon stockings were made in countless millions over a period of about 50 years, but in the late 1960's when pantyhose (tights) became available and the new, stretchy yarns incorporating elasthane or Lycra were introduced, most manufacturers ceased production of non-stretch nylons. This means that vintage non-stretch stockings are becoming increasingly difficult to procure, and correspondingly expensive, so we include carefully-selected modern non-stretch 100% nylon stockings from companies such as Cervin and Clio.Prompt order processing and despatch.We aim to despatch orders within 24 hours, including on Saturdays, and in the event of any problems arising from your order, we will contact you promptly.
