According to Rosstat, the CPI added 0.15% over 1-11 March (vs. 0.19% in 1- 12 March 2012). Over the reported period (6-11 March), average daily price growth kept edging down to 0.013%, from 0.015% in the previous week (and below the 0.015% for 6-12 March last year). The key driving forces behind CPI growth this week were almost the same (in order of importance): potatoes (+0.9%), vodka (+0.4%), gasoline (+0.1%) and bread (+0.3%).
Meanwhile, the growth in fruit and vegetable prices accelerated to 0.5% WoW, from 0.3% WoW during the two previous weeks. It is worth noting that chicken prices kept deflating (-0.4% WoW).
Last week's CPI report suggests that during the first two weeks of March, CPI growth slowed in YoY terms, hinting at a downward trend for the annual growth in headline CPI. The main hurdle preventing the CPI from decelerating faster was a pickup in fruit and vegetables prices last week (potato remains among the key growth drivers along with gasoline and vodka). We expect prices on potatoes and gasoline to increase more and more modestly in the weeks to come, owning to the high base effect. In addition, the growth in the price of vodka is set to slow as it can now mostly be explained by the knock-on effect of the hike in minimum prices on alcoholic beverages in early January.
Hence, we still expect February's 7.3% YoY CPI reading to be the peak for FY13 and anticipate the indicator slowing to 7.1-7.2% YoY in March. In our view, once the CPI slows, the regulator will launch the easing cycle (we are sticking to our out-ofconsensus view of the first cut in base rates in April).

Time to Look Again at Agency in Virginia
21 Oct 2008
Posted by: VAR in: Uncategorized
It is incumbent upon us, as the keepers and practitioners of the industry, to constantly evaluate ourselves and our profession. The time has come to re-evaluate Agency as we know it.
We had a great discussion here in March - Part One and Part Two and an eloquent defense (albeit flawed in my humble opinion) of Single Agent Dual Agency by Candy Lynn.
VAR looked at Agency from 1992 until 1994 and the law went into effect on July 1 1995.
A lot has changed since our Association last looked at Agency (for starters, the Internet has redefined our world).
The time has come to re-examine the state of Agency.
Matthew Rathbun brought up the Agency Conversation again at AgentGenius recently -
"Realizing that cooperation with other real estate professionals promotes the best interests of those who utilize their services, REALTORS® urge exclusive representation of clients; do not attempt to gain any unfair advantage over their competitors; and they refrain from making unsolicited comments about other practitioners."
~ Paragraph 5 of the Preamble to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics (emphasis mine)
"Don't forget the problems caused by being a Dual Agent. The difficulties associated with this perfectly legal agency relationship seem to be on the increase. Be very careful to communicate and explain dual agency to prospects and clients and avoid dual representation if at all possible.""
~ Schafer Oglesby, Virginia Real Estate Board Chairman – 2006 Newsletter
"Virginia law merely permits you to engage in it with the informed consent of the parties provided you act accordingly. Their informed consent, once obtained, does not mean the conflict ceases to exist, merely that the clients consent to your acting as a dual agent notwithstanding the existence of the conflict. This is an important point to remember: the conflict does not go away just because you get the requisite consent. You still must act in a manner consistent with the conflicting interests of your clients."
~ Lem Marshall, VAR Legal Counsel "Commonwealth Magazine 2004″
If you're an agent practicing Dual Agency and get sued, how long do you think it'll take an attorney to pull up these documents and the large number of posts warning against Dual Agency? A jury is going to have a hard time understanding why agents still pursue this archaic practice, while everyone is warning against it.
The purpose of writing this post is to reaffirm the need to examine and study at the continued viability of Single Agent Dual Agency and to clarify once again that this is not a call for an end to Designated Agency (whereby one company represents both sides of a transaction) but a request to look at one agent representing both parties. Let us look at the greater good of the industry and profession and the perception of the industry by the consumers whom we are purportedly "representing" rather than a short-sighted look at our pocketbooks.
(Did you know that Dual Agency has been illegal in Colorado since 1 January 1994?)
It would be far better to take the lead in examining this than to be lead by the courts/legislators/regulators, no?
Other than Candy's argument, I'd love to hear an ethical argument that doesn't begin or end with, "but I want both sides of the commission!" (if you really want to go this route, who wants to tackle Divorcing the Commissions?)
Update 22 October 2008: If you happen to feel strongly enough about this, please comment below and/or email VAR's Leadership Team.

Dual versus Single Agency
The Public Is Watching Us Beat Ourselves Up
21 May 2008
Posted by: VAR in: Uncategorized
On Tuesday, new VARBuzz author Heather Elias wrote a post entitled "Too Bad", in which she recounted the story of hosting an open house and having buyers do everything they could to avoid conversation at all costs. It's happened to all of us, I'm sure – and judging by the comments there are a lot of different thoughts on what's the right approach.
As real-life as it is, there was something else in her post that struck me. She wrote:
I'd hate to think that those buyers are going to end up traveling from open house to open house until they hit upon one that works for them, only to possibly be preyed upon by an agent willing to take advantage of their lack of consumer education about agency and representation.
I'm sure Heather wasn't inferring that agents who practice Dual Agency are preying upon clients. Candy Lynn made the argument FOR Dual Agency right here on VARBuzz recently, and I can see where she's coming from given her niche specialty of selling farms. I know Candy, and maybe many of you do as well – I know she's got her clients best interests at heart, and she makes a good argument in defense of Dual Agency.
Dual Agency has been argued for and against for years, by consumers AND REALTORS®; that's certainly no secret. Most of those who are against it will say that it hurts the consumer – by having an agent who's representing both sides, the the consumer is hurt by not having the value of full representation. I thought Heather did a good job of laying out some of the many hats an agent will wear in the transaction – the Market Expert, the Defender of their privacy, the Cheerleader, the Negotiator … the list can go on an on. Dual Agency prevents the consumer from benefiting from the value of full representation. Proponents of Dual Agency might say that by agreeing to Dual Agency, the consumer is waiving their rights to that level of representation, and that's true. In my opinion though, we have a higher purpose to maintain full representation at all costs. Article 1 of the Code of Ethics reads "…REALTORS® pledge themselves to protect and promote the interest of their client." (emphasis mine). If that's the case, then who is the client? Who does the agent serve? Matthew 6:24 tells us ""No one can serve two masters, because either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other."
I'm not trying to bang on whether or not Dual Agency hurts the consumer or not – that's been covered ad nauseum. No, there's another group that gets hurt just as much by the practice, and that's us. You and I. REALTORS®, real estate agents … our entire industry gets damaged by Dual Agency, in my opinion, because it prevents us from providing a fiduciary value to the consumer. If an agent can't represent the client and provide a solid, tangible value, then all we're doing is perpetuating the perception that all you need from an agent is someone to unlock front doors. As all of us know, we've got a lot of uphill ground to climb as we try to improve an eroding perception of our industry in the eye of the public, and "opening doors" isn't going to go a long way toward improving that opinion. Ending the practice of Dual Agency and showing clients we're going to listen, communicate, negotiate and celebrate with their goals in mind – not our own – will do more to repair the damage.
That's my $.02. The real estate industry has taken a body shot through the practice of Dual Agency, in my opinion, and it's no one's fault but our own. If we'd be willing to eliminate the practice, or at least make the decision that on the agent and broker level the practice would not be practiced, it'd be a major step toward showing the public we're serious about THEM, and not our own bottom line.
Stepping up to the plate – Single Agent Dual Agency
12 Mar 2008
Posted by: VAR in: Uncategorized
OK OK I'm going to step up to plate. (do I need a flame proof suit?)
First of all DISCLOSURE: Often I am a dual agent, I work in a niche market – horse properties & farms. I am broker/owner of a small firm Valley of Virginia Real Estate, within my firm I have no possibility of Designated Dual Agency.
When I started in Real Estate I thought seriously about being an Exclusive Buyers Representative but as I started working with buyers & showing farms I discovered many, not all, listing agents of horse properties just did not understand the horse aspects of the property. They were trying to sell the house that oh btw there is a "barn out there too, I've never been in it but I think you can store about 6 ponies in it & there's a riding rink too". Hint – horse folk usually could care less about the house -they want all the details about the horse facilities. After seeing this type of information more times than I want to count, I started listing horse properties so I could better serve the clients – both sellers & buyers. I guess you could say lack of specific knowledge on other agents part drove me to Dual Agency.
My average time from first contact with a seller or buyer client to closing is often well over a year. I build relationships with clients based on the expected Real Estate expertise & my clients very specific needs which require special knowledge of horses, land, riding styles, hay sources, local instructors, equine vets, show schedules, just to name a few. Most of my sellers require & expect me to be present for all showings – most live in fear of something happening to their horses, dogs, cats. They also know most agents just flat don't know enough about the horse world to be effective. Buyer clients seek me out because they know I have specialized knowledge of horses & riding.
"Candy has had horses and ridden for a long time and so she was able to understand how functional the farm was. Also, horse people have their own language and she "fit right in" with whoever she showed the farm to"
I've had more than one client tell me that if I'd shown up in a fancy car with a dress & heels they would have shared a cup of coffee with me, thanked me for my time & said goodbye. I am one of those blue jean wearing , big loud truck driving agent! So what does all this have to do with dual agency?
On first contact with each seller or buyer I explain agency with emphasis on Single Agent Dual Agency. I let them know up front that my firm cannot offer Dual Designated Agency. I send them home with information on Agency to read. If they are not comfortable with Dual Agency as a possibility, we either make arrangements for referral, identify another agent with another firm that can represent their interests or part ways on good informed basis. This conversation is repeated throughout the process.
Do I recommend Single Agent Dual Agency for everyone? NO!!!
It takes a special REALTOR. One that is a stickler for COE & one that is willing to work hard to do it right. Agency & Agency Law must go hand & hand with the COE. Its hard work, it takes extra time, specific education (I highly recommend taking Marcie Roggow's Class: Negotiating in Dual Agency), specific consent ( IMHO – above & beyond signing the VAR Form on Agency), specific rules during negotiations, specific education to all parties & above & before all – DISCLOSURE!

- The G.O.P.'s Bad Bet
The G.O.P.'s Bad Bet
19 October 2006
By CHARLES MURRAY
Published: October 19, 2006
LAST week President Bush signed a law that will try to impede online gambling by prohibiting American banks from transferring money to gambling sites. Most Americans probably didn't notice or care, but it may do significant political damage to the Republicans this fall and long-term damage to Americans' respect for the law.
So, a month before a major election, the Republicans have allied themselves with a scattering of voters who are upset by online gambling and have outraged the millions who love it. Furthermore, judging from many hours of online chat with Internet poker players, I am willing to bet (if you'll pardon the expression) that the outraged millions are disproportionately electricians, insurance agents, police officers, mid-level managers, truck drivers, small-business owners — that is, disproportionately Republicans and Reagan Democrats.
In the short term, this law all by itself could add a few more Democratic Congressional seats in the fall elections. We are talking about a lot of people (an estimated 23 million Americans gamble online) who are angry enough to vote on the basis of this one issue, and they blame Republicans.
In the long term, something more ominous is at work. If a free society is to work, the vast majority of citizens must reflexively obey the law not because they fear punishment, but because they accept that the rule of law makes society possible. That reflexive law-abidingness is reinforced when the laws are limited to core objectives that enjoy consensus support, even though people may disagree on means.
Thus society is weakened every time a law is passed that large numbers of reasonable, responsible citizens think is stupid. Such laws invite good citizens to choose knowingly to break the law, confident that they are doing nothing morally wrong.
The reaction to Prohibition, the 20th century's stupidest law, is the archetypal case. But the radical expansion of government throughout the last century has created many more.
For example, all employers are confronted with rules and regulations from Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that they regard with contempt — not because they cut into profits, but because they are, simply, stupid. They impede employers yet provide no collateral social benefit. And so employers treat the stupid regulations as obstructions to be fudged or ignored. When they have to comply, they do not see compliance as the right thing to do, but as placating an agency that will hurt them otherwise.
The same thing applies to lesser degrees to all of us who find ourselves doing things that we know are pointless (think of various aspects of tax law) only because we fear attracting a bureaucracy's attention. For millions of Americans, our day-to-day relationship with government is increasingly like paying protection to the Mafia — keeping it off our backs while we get on with our lives.
The temptation for good citizens to ignore a stupid law is encouraged when it is unenforceable. In this, the attempt to ban Internet gambling is exemplary. One of the four sites where I play poker has blocked United States customers because of the law, but the other three are functioning as usual and are confident that they can continue to do so. They are not in America, and it is absurdly easy to devise ways of transferring money from American bank accounts to institutions abroad and thence to gambling sites.
And so the federal government once again has acted in a way that will fail to achieve its objective while alienating large numbers of citizens who see themselves as having done nothing wrong. The libertarian part of me is heartened by this, hoping that a new political coalition will start to return government to its proper functions. But the civic-minded part of me is apprehensive. Reflexive loyalty to the rule of law is an indispensable cultural asset. The more honest citizens who take for granted that they are breaking the law, the more their loyalty to the law, and to the government that creates it, is eroded.
Charles Murray is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

Use milk instead of water before freezing. Add some Equal or Splenda, sugar substitute. When defrosting in microwave, add a pinch of water. When done you may add cut bananas or raisins, or both.
#1, if you use quick oats, all you have to do is bring the water to a boil and stir in the oats and let it stand for a minute. Freezing it would mean thawing it, and then you have to heat it up anyway. We put in flax seeds, walnuts, raisins, grated apples, or whatever we have on hand. It's like dessert! My husband's cholesterol is like a 20-year-old's!
#2 Try eating uncooked regular oats mixed with milk, raisins or other dried fruit, any dried seeds, and fresh fruit. We learned this from the Nearing's books about self-sufficient living. They called it Horse Chow. It's unbelievably tasty!
When I saw my doctor about high cholestral. He told me about microwaving oatmeal and he said it is good for you. The recipe is 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup quick cooking oatmeal and microwave for 3 minutes.
Trader Joe's stores sell frozen single servings of steel cut oats, but they're pretty expensive. I think you can freeze the ones you make, though. You can soak oat groats like people have said, which makes them really really good for you, since it preserves the enzymes that help you digest the food. If you want to use a "healthy" sweetener, I'd recommend stevia or agave nectar, b/c they don't raise glucose levels (contributes to diabetes) and they are low in calories. Stevia's sometimes called "nature's healthy sweetener" or something like that.

In the not too distant future, federal employees and contractors applying for a security clearance with the government should experience a shorter, automated and less painful process as the e-Clearance program gets under way.
The Office of Personnel Management is managing the e-Clearance project, designed to streamline the government's clearance and background investigation process. It is one of the Bush administration's 24 e-government initiatives.
E-Clearance will automate a paper-intensive clearance process, reduce the burden on people applying for government jobs, cut the time it takes to process clearances and reduce duplication, said Dan Blair, deputy director of OPM, at a briefing March 17.
OPM processes about 2 million clearances annually. If Congress allows OPM to absorb the Defense Security Service, which is the agency that conducts background investigations for the Defense Department, that number will rise to about 4 million.
OPM officials anticipate saving more than $258 million in the next 10 years in part by saving time and reducing paper. They expect to spend $54.3 million on e-Clearance during that same period.
The Homeland Security Department is one organization that expects to benefit from the e-Clearance program, said Ann Tursic, chief of the department's Personnel Security Division. "We will leverage all the tools made [available] to us through e-Clearance," she said at the briefing.
Many employees are coming to the new department from other government agencies and, as a result, may already have received a security clearance, Tursic said. "We will have reciprocity," she said, adding that those employees will not have to go through another clearance process, but they will have to provide the appropriate paperwork.
E-Clearance should help those in charge of processing clearances, too. "We will see a significant workload reduction and an increase in efficiency in processing the cases," said Joe Mahaley, security director at the Energy Department.
For vendors, e-Clearance means employees can start working on government contracts sooner. "The long-term payoffs will be much greater than the short-term payoffs," said Pete Grau, special security officer at Lockheed Martin Management and Data Systems.
E-Clearance consists of three components, said John Crandell, OPM's e-Clearance project manager, but some of the smaller pieces that make up the program are already coming together.
Available now is the shorter, electronic Standard Form 86C that will allow federal employees to update their most recent longer, paper-based SF 86 form. The new form will take federal employees five to 10 minutes to fill out vs. the traditional paper-based form, which takes about 90 minutes to complete.
"We ask for the information we need, not the information we already have," Blair said.
SF 86C is available now online, but won't be completely automated — meaning employees can fill it out and submit the form online — until June. That is when OPM will launch its Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) project that will make other forms available online, including SF 86 and SF 85.
OPM also has loaded more than 80 percent of the government's civilian security clearance information into its database, the Security/Suitability Investigations Index, and has linked it to DOD's Joint Personnel Adjudication System. For the first time, any agency can conduct a single search to find investigative and clearance information on an employee, including contractors.
"It's the key to locating people's investigative history," Crandell said.
The e-Clearance program's final piece is imaging. Beginning in late May, agencies will start digitizing all new clearance and background records stored in 20 repositories so that they can request, retrieve and disseminate investigative files. Old files will remain in paper form until requested, he said.
Meanwhile, to help agencies with the transition to e-Clearance, OPM has established a learning lab in Crystal City, Va., to train people on e-QIP and other investigative applications.
E-Clearance milestones
E-Clearance consists of three main components. Here's an update on their status:
Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing — Automates Standard Form 86 so it can be electronically submitted. Available in June.
Clearance Verification System — Via a single search, enables agencies to find investigative and clearance information on employees and contractors. Available in June.
Imaging — Enables the creation, storage and retrieval of digital investigative information. New records will be digitized beginning in late May.

I can not sync my blackberry torch with my computer with the new software. I had a blackberry pearl for 3 years and used it my laptop. No problems with that. When I purchased the torch I synced it with the laptop using the old software and it worked fine. Now I went to use the new version 6.0 for the torch and it would not sync. So removed the old version and new version no luck after reloading the new version. Reloaded a few times no luck. I connect my phone and the software knows my phone is connected. My phone is set to import my contacts, etc but the software will not let me click the boxes to my contacts , calendar etc. I reconfigure and I get an error message. unreported error. Now I have go online to the support section an it indicated that I should repair my software with explorer off and my anti -virus off. That still did not work. When I go to repair it gets about halfway through and it generates a message that the network pathway can not be found and I should find a new path.
I do not use outlook for my default email but it was not a problem before and using the old software for last week I had no problems.
I use this for my business , Is this an easy fix?
Did you uninstall using Add/Remove Programs (or Programs and Features)? If so follow the steps in this KB article to perform a clean uninstall - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
Did not work, I had my IT guy work on it and go into the operating system and no luck. I have spent 4 more hours on this. I am about to return this phone. I wish there was better support.
I didn't understand in your message if you are or are NOT using Outlook.
If not, what are you using to sync your contacts, etc?
Go into Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Default Services.
Make sure those are both set to the e-mail address you are trying to sync with.
I have the exact same problem (see my other post - I should add that I run XP).
NONE, repeat none, of your solutions work. I am now up to 12 lost hours fiddling with this mess. We have other things to do in life than trying to get your undebbugged software to run!!!
As explained in other post, at first the boxes to choose apps to synch would not staty checkec. Now after drastic clean uninstall (both old and new versions) the boxes stay checked but Outlook doesnt appear as a config choice anymore. What is this!!!!
Surely there must be a simple way for DM6.0 to take notice that Outlook is installed.
After trying any and all other solutions listed or hinted at in all the boards and communities I tried one last one: uninstalled DM6.0 and installed 5.0SP1...same problem.
My hypothesis is that during a so-called "clean uninstall" (the drastic version in the additional notes of KB02206 where it tells you to use Find on MyComputer in the Registry and delete ALL Research and motion keys) something critical was removed.
My synch config options now only have ASCII and Yahoo! Gone Outlook, Lotus, and all the rest. Can someone provide me with what's missinng?
I have now found this folder:
Documents & Settings/<user>/Application Data/Blackberry Desktop/
in which there are two folders: Yahoo Connector (with a .rca file) and Novell Groupwise Connector(empty)
As the only config option thats shows up in my synch config window is Yahoo, this must not be a coincidence!
Would an Outlook folder (and files) be missing here? and how do I get it? Can someone send me a copy???
I posted a thread about the same problem. I have even had contact with @blackberryhelp via Twitter. I think I may return my phone as well. I wonder if Andriod has these issues with no explanation?
And...? No answer from them, no hint, no SOLUTION? What a helpful customer oriented-company this is?
Ok I actually just fixed mine. Here is the deal. If you have your windows set to auto update. Then check the "view update history" on the Windows Update tab (icon). Sort by date. Look for any updates down about the time the Blackberry failed to sych. Mine was an Adobe Reader 9.4.6. Delete any suspect files. Then go back to windows update and make sure that it is current. I had to actually update mine with 1 update. Reboot the computer and - it's magic -
I had spent 5 hours on the phone with Blackberry tech support and went all the way up to the top tier of support. They basically gave me everything that I had already tried. Then they ran out of options and said that it was a Microsoft issue.
I was not about to accept that from a 3rd party software resider on my native Microsoft system. RIM needed to come up with a fix, not Microsoft. So now they owe me a job!
Hope this helps.

Wood flooring home improvement process is a crucial step, different flooring materials due to the different techniques, different size specifications of the floor. For those who prefer solid wood floor are decorated with the owners, Solid wood flooring specifications and dimensions also need to know.

First, the choice for large-sized solid wood flooring, we all know, a great big wood flooring specification limits reflect the wood's natural texture and color, appearance of the atmosphere, pavement seams less time texture stretch naturally,High-quality outdoor wall panel more suitable for large size rooms pavement. The use of large-sized floor capable of sufficiently distinguished atmosphere. Second, the small size of solid wood flooring choices: small size wood flooring price is relatively low, the floor of the same species, the small size of the difference between the two or three hundred per square meter.
If less floor coverings area. Especially single bedroom, choose a small size is relatively affordable. However, the choice of the small size of the floor to pay special attention to the fact that in the keel should be installed before selecting the floor, so that the keel laying of the pitch corresponding to the specifications of the floor to avoid the election can not be satisfied on the floor, can also be eliminated in holes and a layer of plywood on the keel,Beautiful and Eco-friendly wpc decking per square meter can save nearly thirty dollars. Solid wood flooring size selective attention, ability to relate to the size of the floor floor resistance to deformation, and other conditions are the same smaller-sized floor more easily deformed, and therefore the size of the floor should be short not long, should not narrow width. In addition the size of the floor and also relates to the price of the room size, the higher the large size of the floor price.
The small size of the room is also suitable for large-sized shop floor. Some manufacturers in order to facilitate the production of solid wood flooring, as well as cater to the fashion trends of consumers, it has introduced a long, wide solid wood flooring. This floor seemingly luxurious style, Shubu know is a natural product because too much length and width, quality control is more difficult, especially the seasons change, moisture content, shrinkage wet up,Easy to install balcony flooring so after a period of use, prone deformation.

Mildura Things to Do: 27 reviews and 57 photos
There is also a good amount of Aboriginal local history to be learned about in the Visitor Information Centre. They've even relocated this old Canoe tree inside the centre itself, as an exhibit.
Canoe trees were trees where the bark of the tree was cut by the aborigines to make canoes. Eventually the bark would start to re grow, but there would always be the canoe shaped scar in the trunk of the tree.
In the southern states of Australia, canoe trees are some of the only visible relics on the landscape, and even then, to see them you need to know what you're looking for and to be able to tell the difference between a canoe tree and a tree that's been struck by lightning.

Cheesy Taco Pockets
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 15 mins
Tasty little pockets of cheesy taco flavored ground meat. Perfect for appetizers, after school snacks or anytime you get a hunger pang or craving. Prepare them all at once or freeze them and bake later! This makes 32 small pockets, 1-2 per serving, unless you are feeding teenagers! OAMC directions are included here for you. Created for RSC 9. Good luck to all participating Chefs!------ If you want them spicier please increase the chili powder or add some cayenne or red pepper.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (17 1/3 ounce) packages puff pastry sheets, 2 sheets per package
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 tablespoon water
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup white onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1⁄2 cup catsup
- 1⁄4 cup fresh cilantro or 1⁄4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1⁄2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded or 1 1⁄2 cups monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded for a spicier result or 1 1⁄2 cups colby cheese, shredded, any similar cheese will work
- Remove pastry from freezer and allow to thaw at room temperature for about 30- 40 minutes or until they are easy to handle.
- Meanwhile, add the beef, onion and green pepper to a large skillet and cook until beef is browned and vegetables begin to soften. Stir occasionally to break meat up and prevent scorching.
- Add garlic and cook for one more minute, stirring constantly.
- Drain all the grease from the pan and return to the heat.
- Add tomato, catsup, cilantro or parsley, cumin, chili powder, oregano and cinnamon. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. You want a pretty dry mixture so your filling stays put in the pastry.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Work with one pastry sheet at a time, keeping the others covered so they do not dry out.
- On a lightly floured surface roll out a pastry sheet to a rectangle about 16 x 12 inches and then cut into 8 even pieces.
- Put a heaping teaspoonful of meat mixture in the center of the pastry. (I always seem to over fill them no matter how carefully I measure so you may want to start with less than you think you should use and add a little more if needed. Voice of experience! ).
- Mix the egg and water together and brush pastry edges with it.
- Grab one corner of a pastry and fold over to form a triangle. Press edges with a fork to seal and brush the tops with more egg mixture.
- Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Place the pastries on a sprayed or greased baking sheet. You could also use parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
- OAMC-To Freeze and Bake Later: Place pockets on parchment paper or wax paper and freeze until firm. They can then be transferred to a zip top bag and stored in the freezer. Remove desired amount from freezer when ready to use and bake as directed, increasing time to 17-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Great served with sour cream, catsup or your favorite dip.

I think the name is a little deceiving here, as they didn't taste like tacos, but they were still good. Next time I will leave out the oregano and cinnamon, and add in some taco seasoning along with the ground cumin and chili powder. Thanks Mama for the idea!
I'm a single adult. I'm ALWAYS looking for creative lunch recipes. This one is a keeper. I added the cinnamon but just a hint (I'm not BIG on cinnamon). It gave it just a hint of earthiness without over powering the dish for me. For children, the amount of chili powder is just right but for an adult... I think I'll add more next time or use Jalapeño Jack instead of the cheddar/jack pre-shredded version I used (I was pressed for time). I think this is an amazing recipe. I'll be making it for work lunches regularly.
these were great but i had no puff pastry an used wonton wrappers an deep fried them.ill make them for grandkids for sure

Ways to decrease change of MD5 collisions?
I have read through the other thread:
I was wondering what methods there are to decrease the change of collision.
Perhaps something that could be done would be double md5ing it.
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
function multi_md5($md5_code, $password) {
//$md5code is a numerical value such as '4,2,1,5'
$encoded_val = $password; // sets
$num = explode(",", $md5_code);
$max = count($num);
for($i = 0; $i = $max; $i++){ // goes through the array of $md5_code (goes through 4 times then 2 then 1 then 5)
for($a = 0; $a = $num[$i]; $a++) {
$encoded_val = md5($encoded_val);
return $encoded_val;
Would this decrease the chance for collisions?
What do you think about it?<<< Please see Forum Guidelines for signature setup. >>>

Applying the hash multiple times does not decrease the chance of collision.
After all, if 2 pre-images hash to the same hash, hashing that hash does not produce 2 different hashes.
The way to avoid dictionary attacks when using hashing algorithms to protect original passwords is to combine with some salt.
That still does not prevent a dictionary attack on the authentication mechanism - that just depends on how silly users are in choosing their passwords.#include<cstdio>
char*s="#include<cstdio>%cchar*s=%c%s%c;%cint main(){std::printf(s,10,34,s,34,10);}";

using HMAC can help prevent collisions, as a secret key will be supplied to create the hash, but if the person attempting to create the collision knows the secret key, chances are still about the same. If you would like to do this in PHP, you could use PEAR's Crypt_HMAC, http://pear.php.net/package/Crypt_HMAC
Contrary to what some people here seem to think, the chances of a collision being found are slim to none. It is near impossible to find a collision, and millions upon millions of hashes will have to be made, and even then, one probably wont be found. There is really no need to worry.Regards,

I really wouldn't worry about it, as there are other ways around the passwords if they get access to your code or database.

Another option is to use a longer hash, ie SHA-1."The only difference between a poor person and a rich person is what they do in their spare time."

with passwords, collisions are really only gonna occur if two people use the same passwords. this happens a fair amount though, so you should do something like using salt (as mentioned in the thread the original poster linked to). you can store the salt w/ the md5, so its not much extra work.__________________

You may need to add session ids to calculate HMAC in order to avoid one-click attacks.

The whole point is that under a collision, two different strings will evaluate to the SAME checksum. Thus, you dont have to even know the original person's password, you only have to compute a string that has the same checksum. The danger is that there are a number of databases out there that you can search for collisions, and increasing computing power will make such attacks easier as the days go by.
Salts, HMAC, and stronger hashes are all ways to reduce (I didnt say avoid) the possibility of this happening."The only difference between a poor person and a rich person is what they do in their spare time."

I was worried about the same thing a while ago.
After some research I found out that some guy actually did the computation of the probability of collision. I forgot the actual figure but it really convinced me to quit losing hair over it.What you can do with Cpanel ------------------> |||||

|Baby New Year
The personifications of Baby New Year and Father Time bringing in a new year while sending out an old one.
Real Name
Baby New Year
First Appearance
Created by
The Baby New Year is a personification of the start of the New Year commonly seen in editorial cartoons. He symbolizes the "birth" of the next year, and that the "old" year is gone; in other words, a "rebirth". Baby New Year's purpose varies by myth, but he generally performs some sort of ceremonial duty over the course of his year, such as chronicling the year's events, or presiding over the year as a symbol.
The myth most associated with him (he is almost universally portrayed as a white male) is that he is a baby at the beginning of his year, but Baby New Year quickly ages until he is elderly (like Father Time, with whom he is often associated at the end of his year). Very rarely is the Baby New Year depicted as any age other than a baby or as a very old man (as there is little interest in him in the middle of the year). Some stories, especially those with depictions of years past, will have him bear a strong likeness to key events in his time. At this point, he hands over his duties to the next Baby New Year, while he either dies or remains in this state and retires.
The stereotypical representation of Baby New Year is as a male infant wearing nothing more than a diaper, a top hat and a sash across his torso that shows the year he is representing. He is sometimes depicted holding or associated with an hourglass, a noisemaker, or other item either pertaining to time or New Year's Day festivities. Often, he is not a complete newborn but instead more closely resembles a toddler, because he is frequently shown standing on his own, crawling or barely walking, or having a small amount of (usually blond) head hair.
In addition to being a mythical figure, the title of "Baby New Year" is sometimes given to living people. The first baby born in any village or city in a certain year may be honored by being labeled as the official Baby New Year for that year. The official Baby New Year can be male or female, even though the mythical Baby New Year is nearly always male. Attempts to name an official Baby New Year for an entire country have sometimes been made, but generally there are multiple contenders and no single Baby New Year can be confirmed. There has, however, been a great deal of several who have come close.

Bundled and Larger Cables
This is where TechFlex comes into a league of its own. As far as bundling sleeve and bigger cables like SATA data and USB 3.0 cables, expandable cabling is the only way to go. When choosing diameter for expandable guesstimate the rough diameter of the bundled cables, bear in mind the closer the upstretched diameter of the sleeve is to the cables, the rounder your cable will look. Too big and it will look flat or square. The other thing to factor in is the size of the largest point the sleeve needs to be stretched over.
For example, when sleeving a standard straight SATA data cable approximate sizes are 6mm wide, while the plug section is 14mm x 4mm. Ideally the perfect sleeve for this would be something with a similar diameter as the cable, but with enough flex to stretch over the plug. After a quick search on eBay, it seems the closest size to fit our needs is 8mm.
The process of sleeving a bundle of thick cable is virtually identical to single sleeving, although as the sleeve is expandable, the process of threading the cable seems a lot quicker. As I mentioned before, tape your cables when using expandable or you will see the individual cable colors underneath.
My last suggestion with using this type of sleeving is be careful when shrinking; the sleeve is heat tolerant, but will melt if exposed to a good hit of heat for too long.
Heat shrinking large cables and bundles can be done in one of two ways. The first technique is the same as the aforementioned where the heat shrink is placed over the cable and sleeve, except this time we mount the shrink up flush against the connection.
The other option is to purchase 3:1 ratio heat shrink. Measure the full length of the cable and cut sleeve accordingly. With the whole cable sleeve place the heat shrink over the sleeve and then partially over the connection head, and then just add heat. This works really well with SATA cables, but be aware of not covering too much of the connection, or the plug won't fit in its socket.

In an effort to help build a competitive European Research Area (ERA), the European Heads of Research Councils (EUROHORCs) and the European Science Foundation (ESF) have published their vision on the ERA and have joined forces in a Road Map with proposed actions to achieve it.
The ESF EUROHORCs Science Policy Briefing 33, The EUROHORCs and ESF Vision on a Globally Competitive ERA and their Road Map for Actions to Help Build it, details essential requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to build a globally competitive ERA within the next 5-10 years. This Vision is complemented by a Road Map with an outline of concrete actions for EUROHORCs and ESF Member Organisations, as well as partners.
"EUROHORCs and ESF are committed to play a key role in shaping this ERA and this Road Map is the proof of that commitment. This policy briefing is a result of our analysis of what is needed and how our members, together with other partners, could contribute." said ESF President Professor Ian Halliday and the President of the EUROHORCs Professor Pär Omling in a joint statement.
A Task Force established by the EUROHORCs and ESF, chaired by DFG President Professor Matthias Kleiner, prepared the Vision and Road Map. The Task Force emphasises that building such an ERA requires the involvement of a variety of actors: national and European research organisations, national governments, the EU and the private sector.
In their latest briefing the EUROHORCs and ESF list 10 essential criteria (Vision Points) that need to be met in building a successful European Research Area: 1.) An effective European research policy, capitalizing on cultural, geographic and scientific diversity 2.) A stimulating education system 3.) A single European labour market for researchers 4.) Adequate funding for top quality curiosity-driven research 5.) Cross-national funding, benchmarking of quality and shared scientific priorities for strategic research and bottom up researcher-driven programmes 6.) Excellent research institutions 7.) World-class research infrastructures 8.) Open access to the output of publicly funded research and permanent access to primary quality assured research data 9.) Effective and trusted bridges between science, society and the private sector 10.) Openness to the world.
EUROHORCs and ESF and their Member Organisations are committed to develop concrete actions in 11 domains to help construct the ERA. The domains are described hereafter together with an indication of the type of actions that will be considered.
Proposed Action Plan
1) Strengthening the dialogue between research organisations and political actors at the European level (Addresses Vision point 1)
2) Promoting European research careers (Addresses Vision points 2 and 3)
3) Scientific foresight as a basis for joint strategy development (Addresses Vision point 5)
4) Developing the ERA towards a European Grant Union (Addresses Vision points 3, 4 and 5)
5) Peer Review of researchers and proposals at the European level (Addresses Vision point 5)
6) Ex-post evaluation of research projects and programmes (Addresses Vision point 5)
7) ERA Connect and Regional Clusters of Excellence (Addresses Vision point 6)
8) Shared funding and exploitation of medium-sized research infrastructure (Addresses Vision point 7)
9) Common policy on Open Access and Permanent Access to research data (Addresses Vision point 8)
10) Strengthening the relations between science, society and the private sector (Addresses Vision point 9)
11) Connecting European research to the world (Addresses Vision point 10)
For more details about the Action Plan – please go to http://www.esf.org/spb33/
The Task Force is now collecting comments from the member organisations, which will be used in the further elaboration of the actions identified in the outline of the Road Map. Concrete action plans to be approved in coming governance meetings of ESF and EUROHORCs are currently being prepared. Following this approval, Member Organisations will be invited to sign up for the implementation of the actions.
Notes to Editor
The report was produced by a group of top experts in the field, chaired by Professor Matthias Kleiner, Chair of the EUROHORCs - ESF Task Force / President, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) Bonn – Germany

This latest Briefing (SPB No. 33) follows last year's EUROHORCs and ESF's comments on the European Commission's Green Paper: The European Research Area: New Perspectives.
At last year's briefing the EUROHORCs -ESF Task Force commented the European Commission needs to engage and focus more on the national research funding and performing organisations, the private sector, and the non-European research systems for the development of the European Research Area (ERA) if it is serious about establishing a comprehensive ERA, according to the Heads of European Research Councils (EUROHORCs) and the European Science Foundations (ESF).
EUROHORCs and ESF also suggested that the EU should inject more resources into basic research through programmes such as the European Research Council (ERC), a move to reduce EU's bureaucracy, and to put pressure on its member states to remove the still abundant barriers to the mobility of researchers.
These responses came after a request by the EU Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potočnik to seek public comment and recommendation for the Green Paper on the ERA.

Volvo Cars starts production of the new Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar
The first Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar cars have left the Volvo Torslanda factory plant on their way to customers around the world as production has begun.
"We are very happy to see the first ever complete production cars from Polestar be built in the Volvo factory. It is a satisfying result of many hours of work by the people of Polestar and Volvo behind this," said Henrik Fries, S/V60 Polestar Technical Project Manager.
The Volvo factory in Torslanda celebrated 50 years recently with a total of over 6.8 million cars having been produced, starting with the Amazon model in 1964 and all the way to the new S60 and V60 Polestar today. The Polestar model also marks the first ever independent partner being introduced to the production process.
"We are delighted to see the first cars leave the factory and it has been an exciting journey together with Polestar to see these cars from the drawing board until the actual finalized product being produced with us on the factory line," said Magnus Hellsten, Vice President Car Manufacturing Europe at Volvo Cars.
A total of 750 cars will be produced of the S60 and V60 Polestar model this year, heading to customers in Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the USA.
"It is an exciting process as there are many new and unique Polestar components that needs to work seamlessly in the Volvo factory without interrupting the production of other models. It was a truly proud moment to see the first Polestar blue cars on the production line together with the XCV70, S80 and other models. The cooperation with Volvo works really well and we are looking forward to an exciting future together," said Fries.
The new Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar features a thoroughly developed chassis with high performance dampers and brakes which in combination with four-wheel drive and 350 hp from a turbo charged 6-cylinder engine creates a driver's car for all year.

Pristine Volvo P1800ES sells for record price at Bonhams auction
Bonhams Auctioneers has sold a 1973 Volvo P1800ES Sport Wagon for the record sum of 92,400 USD. It was at an auction at the Greenwich Concours d´Elegance in Connecticut, USA that the Swedish classic with just 13,000 miles on the odometer was sold. "As far as we know, this is a new world record for a classic Volvo", a representative for Bonhams said.
This P1800ES has spent its entire life in Keene, New Hampshire, and been used very little by its three owners, the first of them keeping the car for 27 years.
The red paintwork is totally original, so is the black leather upholstery and the car has sought after factory equipment as factory fitted A/C.
The presale estimate was 30,000 to 40,000 USD ,but it was bid strongly by a number of current and former Volvo dealers before ultimately selling to an overseas bidder for more than the double.
"The car was nicely presented, well preserved and totally original. It was key for a high price like this, a restorer would struggle to match the build quality of the factory in Gothenburg," said Eric Minoff, specialist at Bonhams´ Motor Cars department.
More about this remarkable P1800 ES can be found at http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/21916/lot/334/
Dock Talk: Newport comes out in force to welcome Team Alvimedica
Welcome to our new weekly round-up of Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 news and gossip – Dock Talk – which we will be running all the way up to the start of the event on October 4 in Alicante.
ALICANTE, Spain, June 12 – The Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 won't be visiting the sailing-crazy town of Newport, Rhode Island for nearly a year but anticipation is already sky-high after Team Alvimedica sailed in this week.
Despite the miserable weather, the town came out in force with a flotilla of vessels on Monday to welcome their "home boys" led by resident Charlie Enright, who is skipper, and fellow American Mark Towill.
Team Alvimedica's young crew of trialists had just crossed the Atlantic from Portugal in a 10-day trip with a bunch of experienced Volvo Ocean Race old hands on board including Stu Bannatyne who has competed on no less than six occasions.
"It's everything I could have hoped it to be on a rainy night, it was really nice for ever one to come out," Enright said of the welcome. "After 10 days on the open ocean coming into Newport is an amazing thing."
Newport will be hosting the race in May next year. The 12th edition starts with the Alicante In-Port Race on October 4 before setting sail the following week for the first leg from southern Spain to Cape Town.
The ocean crossing was an important milestone for the crew. "It was a big step for Team Alvimedica," Enright said. "We had good weather all the way across. We're excited about what we achieved and what's to come. We're here doing some more training before we head back across the Atlantic in July."
Enright, 29, and Mark Towill, 25, and the rest of the crew, replicated "race mode" on board throughout the transatlantic as they tested the rookie sailors and immersed themselves in ocean racing technique.
Another team with an experience gap to bridge are Dongfeng Race Team who are planning to blood three new Chinese rookies – if they shape up – in their crew which is due to be announced in Lorient, France on June 26.
They certainly don't lack race know-how from their French skipper Charles Caudrelier who helped French compatriot Franck Cammas win the last edition on board Groupama.
After sailing 10,000 nautical miles so far including a transatlantic crossing, Caudrelier believes his crew is shaping up nicely including the Chinese wannabes.
Caudrelier reported this week that the crew had passed "a key stage" with flying colours and found "real talent in both the western and Chinese crew".
Meanwhile, Team SCA are enjoying a breather from on-board training after ticking off two transats.
The 12 women left Lanzarote for a break with a fitness plan in their bags to "to get them moving, loosen them up, get them back into a normal routine and functioning on a normal body clock", according to the team's fitness coach and physio Santi Casanova.
Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing are also taking a mid-summer breather from their training base in Cascais near Lisbon. Next on their schedule is a transatlantic from Portugal to Newport at the end of June.
They will be back in Europe for Cowes Week where their boat Azzam will be officially launched on August 6 and race during the regatta.
The buzz for the Volvo Ocean Race continues to grow in the Netherlands, meanwhile, with Dutch boat Team Brunel continuing to do their bit to build the future of sailing in a country where the sport ranks high as a national pastimes.
With skipper Bouwe Bekking's men back home for a couple of weeks, 4,000 Dutch kids received a miniature version of their Volvo Ocean 65 as part of a school project to get children involved in sailing. They will have to do their homework though.
A magazine will be distributed to every kid for every leg of the race. They´ll be finding out about biology, geography, life onboard and technology.
