NSS Labs awards Dell SonicWALL's SuperMassive E10800
NSS Labs awards Dell SonicWALL's SuperMassive E10800 prestigious 'Recommend' rating in 2012 Security Value Map for Intrusion Prevention Systems
• NSS reports: Resistance to known evasion techniques was perfect, with the Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive SonicOS 6.0 achieving a 100 percent score across the board in all related tests
• The advanced architecture of the SonicWALL SuperMassive running SonicOS 6.0 provides a high level of protection and performance, comprehensive threat protection and application control in a single integrated device
Tweet this: Dell #SonicWALL's #SuperMassive E10800 rated 'Recommend'
AUGUST 22, 2012 — Today, Dell™ SonicWALL™, the leading provider of intelligent network security and data protection solutions, announced that its SuperMassive™
In the past, enterprise organizations have needed best-of-breed firewalls as well as best-in-class intrusion prevention systems to stay ahead of exploits which have constantly advanced by developing extremely sophisticated evasion techniques to escape detection and remediation. The most serious of these exploits are those that can remotely compromise a network and enable attackers with the ability to initiate system-level commands. Advanced attacks frequently communicate out to command-and-
For effective threat protection as well as intrusion prevention, organizations need best-in-class firewall and intrusion prevention without the complexity of managing separate appliances, GUIs, and deployments. Dell SonicWALL Next-Generation Firewalls with advanced Intrusion Prevention capabilities can deliver strong resistance to evasion, powerful context and content protection capabilities as well as comprehensive threat protection and application control in a single integrated device.
NSS Labs – a leading independent security research and testing institute – issued their Network IPS Product Analysis stating, "Resistance to known evasion techniques was perfect, with the Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive SonicOS 6.0 achieving a 100 percent score across the board in all related tests. IP fragmentation, TCP stream segmentation, RPC fragmentation, URL obfuscation, HTML evasion and FTP evasion all failed to trick the product into ignoring valid attacks. Not only were the fragmented and obfuscated attacks blocked successfully, but all of them were also decoded accurately."
The Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10000 Next-Gen Firewall Series utilizes a patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® engine to detect and prevent the advanced evasion techniques used to conceal traditional intrusion attacks at all layers of the network stack like application vulnerabilities and blended threats and does so while maintaining high performance and low latency. The solution scans every byte of every packet of inbound and outbound traffic regardless of port and protocol and delivers full content inspection of both plain text and SSL encrypted traffic for comprehensive intrusion prevention, malware protection, and application intelligence and control. Dell SonicWALL's IPS capabilities deliver advanced context awareness including geolocation visibility, user identification, and application identification as well as inspection and identification of documents and content including the ability to scan for administrator-
In addition to garnering the highly coveted "Recommend"
"When your network is under attack, it doesn't matter where that threat originates – what matters is that you have the tools to stop it," said Patrick Sweeney, executive director, product management, DELL SonicWALL. "These test results validate and verify that the SuperMassive E10800 provides our customers that mission-critical protection to prevent intrusions without compromising throughput."
According to the NSS Labs' Next-Generation IPS Product Analysis: "For high-end multi-gigabit environments looking to upgrade defenses from their current IPS, the advanced architecture of the SonicWALL SuperMassive running SonicOS 6.0 provides an extremely high level of protection and performance."
"The increased sophistication of security solutions does not always correspond with improved efficiency,"

F-Secure has recently launched a new Facebook application to protect Facebook users from scam links. The application called ShareSafe will specifically block malicious links and spam on Facebook, from your wall, your friends' walls and your news feed.
The application is in beta and is being offered as a free product at least for the time being as a promotion. They hope that beta users will help them to improve the service for everyone.
"Until now, there has been no way of knowing whether a Facebook link takes you to a legitimate website – or to something that has been set up by the criminals." – F-Secure.
ShareSafe also offers an aspect of social gaming in that it rewards users for scanning and sharing links via ShareSafe. Users collect badges and points for usage, but most importantly they are offered premium products when their friends like or click on links users have shared with ShareSafe. Extra points are earned when friends accept a user's invitation to start using ShareSafe. Points can be exchanged for copies of F-Secure Internet Security, F-Secure Online Backup, and F-Secure Mobile Security at the moment, with more products planned for the future.
Check out F-Secure's full promotional video on ShareSafe via YouTube.

|Strange fulltext search behaviour
|Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:16:51 GMT
Hello! In our application, some nodes have "record numbers" in the form [A-Z]/([A-Z]|[0-9])+/[0-9]{9} For exemple: N/620/000002032 M/AKA/000000235 or L/AMA/0000000100 If I perform a full text search on this values, the search find my nodes. If i try a search like N/*2032 or M/AK*235, I'm also able to retrieve my nodes. But for an unknown reason, if I search for L/* or even L/AMA/000000?00, the system does not find any node and seems to not even search for something. The record number is stored in a string property and I'm sure the nodes are indexed since other queries on the same nodes works for other search tokens. It is like the "L/..." format is causing some troubles to the indexer or the search code. Any pointers? Can someone test this behaviour to see if it is reproductible? Thanks a lot! Regards, Fred

What are the pros? Multipurpose Plant
What are the cons?
I bought a packet of these seeds in 2011 or 2012 but never planted them. I found them this spring (2015) and just decided to sprinkle them around in the garden instead of throwing them away. It is now August and I have had amaranth greens all summer. I've been picking the small plants whole so they don't take over, but I left a few in my raised beds and now have a number of gorgeous 6' tall amaranth plants that are protecting more heat sensitive plants from the August sun. They transplant easily too. I dug some up to move them to better spots and they didn't seem to notice at all. These plants also easily withstand 80-90 degree weather with very low water requirements (they are happy with a squirt once a week). I suspect they will get much bigger as well. I learned about this variety from the farm at the community college where I teach. They had two plants they had left growing off to the side of the rows. These reached 8' before they pulled them out.

What are the pros? flowers,leaves same color
What are the cons? none
I have grown these plants for over 20 years. Here in Ohio they can grow to 7 ft and easily branch out to look like a small tree. they germinate late and do not like to be transplanted, but self sow easily. they are spectacular in a grouping or by themselves. the leaves and the plants are the same color. they are excellent to act as shade for another plant or even to grow as a secret garden space for the kids.

What are the pros? contrast against other plants
Very nice change of color in the garden
25 out of 25 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros?
What are the cons?
Grown in zone 5, in black organic soil, the plants grew 5 ft tall....early growth stages were edible, fresh or steamed....became a beautiful row of deep purple foilage and seedheads.....seeds easily harvested in the fall.....will plant again, to use as a back of the border plant for other shorter flowers in the front....

Creation is entrusted to Man
Gen 1:28 "Be fruitful and multiply"
Gen 2:4 - Heaven and Earth
Gen 5:1 - Adam
Gen 10:1 - Noah Shem Ham and Jepeth
Gen 11:10 - Shem
Theres MORE - Look for them
See Eph 5:31, The strength of a marriage is found as early as Gen 2!!!
Hebrew 11:4
They want 2 things - A Name and a Common Area of Congregation, Adam was commanded to cover the earth, but God does it for them in Adams failure.
Gen 11:26 - This ties Shem to Abraham
The wheels fell off in Chapter 3, and God helps put man back on track by offering a promise to Abram (Abraham).
Hagar's son, Ishmael, is NOT the son of the Promise!
Gen 17:12 - Non-Hebrews can be involved into the promise, through their faith in the rite of circumcision
Rom 3:10
There is none found righteous
The bizarre idea of this is that God has already promised Isaac would be the recipient of Abraham's promise, now God is asking for Abraham to kill his only son.
This was a test of Abrahams faith
This scripture clearly foreshadows the provision from God of his only begotten Son, Jesus. Jesus was the replacement sacrifice for our sins
Heb 11:19
Ruth 4, Ruth 4 offers a Toledote which traces David back to Perez who was born of Tamar through the sinfulness of Judah

A Lego House
Picking up the last piece of lego, he placed it on the building, leaning back and admiring his little lego house. He had spent so long building it up, piece by piece like his broken heart, trying to mend what had been broken by someone else, something else that he hadn't been prepared for. He made to break it apart again when he heard a knock at the door.

The Crystal
"There is another piece to this mystery that the website you found does not address," Linda continued, "mostly because the link is not generally known among my fellow associates. I mention it here because my personal research has suggested that there is a link."
"What kind of a link?" James leaned forward with his elbows on his knees. She had piqued his interest.
"Well … not consistently, but in more than one instance, an emerald crystal is mentioned either alongside this circular cloud legend, or has a separate entry around the same time and place.
This isn't just a normal crystal, though. It has a unique quality. When held up to the light, it displays a foggy image, instead of reflecting the light like a normal polished crystal."
James and Brad stared at one another, neither one of them saying a word. Brad raised his eyebrows again, and James tilted his head to one side in response, nodding as he did so. Linda's chair made a creaking sound as she leaned back.
"Let me guess," she remarked. "You've seen a crystal like this."
James did not immediately answer. He looked away, staring at the wall to his left. Brad squinted, never taking his eyes off of Linda, who was patiently waiting for James to put his thoughts together.
"Is it worth something?" James asked eventually.
"I'll take that as a yes," Linda replied. She leaned forward again, the chair creaking as she did so.
"Most scholars doubt the validity of this legend. The actual discovery of a crystal would change that completely."
After waiting to see if she would continue, James added, "But, is it worth something?"
"The right museum would pay a large sum of money for it, and I can't even begin to venture a guess as to what the right private investor would pay. So, I guess the answer is yes."
After a small pause, she continued, "Do you have a crystal like I described?"
Once again James did not answer right away. He looked over at Brad who shook his head slightly. Get a second opinion, Brad thought.
"At home," James said while still looking at Brad. He shifted his gaze back to Linda. "Why?"
"I'll explain all that later. Right now I think we should go get your crystal and bring it back here. The museum has the finest security system money can buy."
"Why wouldn't it be safe at Jame's place?" Brad asked.
"It's a rather long story. I can explain it all when we get to Mr. Miller's house. I'd really like to go now."
With that, she got up and headed towards the office door. James made a motion to follow her, but Brad grabbed his arm, keeping his friend on the divan.
"What are you doing?" Brad whispered.
"What do you mean?" James asked and raised his hands, his palms facing the ceiling.
"We don't know her." Each word was uttered so sternly and deliberately that James was taken aback.
"What's the big deal?" James asked and placed a hand on Brad's shoulder. "There's nothing going on here."
Brad glanced over at the doorway. Linda was patiently waiting on the other side. Looking back at his friend, Brad continued, "Something very strange is happening here. That cryptic letter from an old, dead guy with a fantastic story that I am not sure if I believe. Then, that crystal. I think we should think things through."
"I know you have a tough time trusting people," James said, getting up from the divan. "I remember what you were like in High School. So, let me just say that there are no negative vibes here. In fact—" He pointed at Linda "—she might be our way to another big payday and maybe some answers to these questions."
Brad grumbled something under his breath as James left the office. Brad took a deep breath. I guess we'll see what happens now, he thought.
When they reached the outside, Linda locked the door and made a motion for James to lead the way. When they got to his vehicle, Linda climbed in the passenger seat while Brad had apparently been delegated to the back seat. When they got to James' house, Brad got a really bad feeling as James drove up the drive. The front door was wide open, but he clearly remembered dead bolting the door after James had forgotten.

A group of New Zealand hotels sold for $225.6 million last year.
Dean Humphries, national director of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels in Auckland, said the flurry of investment activity meant 2010 was the second-highest year for transaction volumes since the firm began keeping records in 1990.
The value of last year's deals was eclipsed only in 2006 when hotels sold for $378.3 million and Humphries thinks the sales will continue to flow this year.
"On the back of this activity, we expect more hotels to come to the market this year. Hotel trading across New Zealand started to stabilise during 2010, providing a platform for owners and operators to counterbalance discounting that occurred throughout the global financial crisis.
"We expect that trading conditions will continue to improve in 2011 and that the Rugby World Cup in September/October [will] act as a further catalyst for trading growth," he said.
"The surge in New Zealand hotel sales included one of Auckland's premier CBD hotels, the 267-room Hyatt Regency Auckland which sold for just under $60 million. The hotel was purchased by Charles Pandy's CP Group. On January 20, the Hyatt was rebranded as a five star Pullman under the Accor Asia Pacific brand.
"The 283-room Hotel So in Christchurch sold for about $19 million to a private offshore investor who has also purchased a number of other hotel assets in Australia and Singapore over the past couple of years. The hotel has now been rebranded as an All Seasons under management by Accor Asia Pacific," Humphries said.
"New Zealand has also recorded its largest hotel portfolio transaction at approximately $150 million with the sale of six hotels owned by Australian private company Tourism Asset Holdings. The hotels included Novotel and Ibis Ellerslie in Auckland, Novotel and Ibis Wellington, Ibis Christchurch and Novotel Queenstown.
"The purchaser of this portfolio was American-based real estate investment trust Host Hotels & Resorts, the largest lodging real estate investment trust in the world. A seventh hotel, the Novotel Christchurch, was also sold to the same purchasers directly by Accor for an undisclosed price," he said.
Looking at hotel performance this year, he expected the Rugby World Cup to produce a spike in revenues during the six-week event with matches in 12 cities.
"For the cities hosting the quarter-finals, semifinals and finals, room rates could be up to four to five times the normal room rate."
Five big new hotels under construction:
Kawarau Falls, Queenstown:
5-star 178-room Hilton Queenstown
4-star 98-room Kawarau Hotel
Auckland International Airport & precincts:
4-star 260-room Novotel
4-star 150-room Sudima
2-star 125-room Formula One

This Being an Ode to a Man Whom I Once Knew
This I wrote about a friend of mine, during a period when we weren't speaking after a disagreement; of course, the situation was only temporary and so the feeling which motivated me to write this is long gone. I do hope, however, that it so much as passes for a work here; I'm aware my inexperience shows itself rather boldly in my work to date.
THIS being an ode to
a man whom I once knew.
Though our days of knowing now are through
And our times of joking, laughter, joy – oh, those too
Are drowned in the sorrow of this
This being an ode to a man
Whom I once knew.
Ever-more coarse grows the river of tears
All hope but silenced among feather-light fears
That weigh down the shadow of him, the man
Whom I once knew.
Immersed is the forest we used to haunt
Its trees now grey, gargoyle and gaunt
And in clearings flooded, with paper-thin eye
Sits the reflection – now haggard, rotten and died –
Of the man
Whom I once knew.
Alas that man he is no longer.
But instead a pale murmur who the heartless may ponder
To have belonged to their ranks –
Or, perhaps –
Or, perhaps not.
For he is no longer
The man
Whom I once knew.

I occasionally get the early messages out of order as well; however,
I can't imagine that there is a problem with Yahoo. Else, how did the
others receive the message to reply to? I assume that either A) the
messages are slow enough to deliver to some mail servers that others
reply back to the original and that mail goes through faster than the
original, or B) the time stamp for several of the users are not
configured correctly, and the e-mail program sorts by date. Thus, the
original will flag at the right time, but the reply is incorrectly set
as before the original, or the original is incorrectly set to a future
time, thus letting replies sort before it.
Let me know if anyone else has any more insight on this.

Court Member Detail
Hometown: Hilliard, Ohio
Major: Biology
Rank: Junior
Student Bio: Hi, Ohio State Marion students! My name is Abdulaziz Hamid, but most people just call me Aziz. I am honored to be nominated for the 2016 Marion Campus Homecoming Court along with five of my amazing peers. I was born in Kenya, but moved to Boston, Massachusetts, when I was a small child. I moved to Hilliard, Ohio, and I have lived here for 10 years so far. Go Bucks! I have a big family. I have four brothers and one sister. I am the middle child. English is my 3rd language out of the four languages I know. I speak Chimwiini (a dialect of Swahili), Somali, English and have a working knowledge of Spanish. I am a junior in Biology here at The Ohio State University at Marion. After I graduate I would like to attend medical school. You are probably thinking I am another person just trying to earn a lot of money and live a lavish life. No! I am not. I could care less about the status and money of becoming a physician. I have a deep passion for medicine. I would like to become a physician and help with the health issues in Kenya and around the world. I truly believe that everyone deserves the right to good health. Often times there many inequities among groups based on money, resources, and location. My purpose in life is to use my skills and knowledge to try to help humanity. I feel that I am a good representative of the campus. Not only do I excel in my academic career, I am involved in the campus. I am the president of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) here at Marion. Our goal is to bring together Muslims of diverse backgrounds and cultures under one unified, organized, proactive club; to spread Islam awareness across campus; and to engage in community service. I am the secretary of the Biology and Chemistry Club and a member of the Men of African Descent Club. I was a part of the international festival here at Marion last year. I am also involved in my hometown of Hilliard. I am a tutor at the Columbus Metropolitan Library in Hilliard. I assist students with assignments. I help students develop good study strategies and techniques. I help promote independent learning. I am also a Children's Clubhouse volunteer at Nationwide Children's Hospital. I assist in providing safe and appropriate supportive activities for pre-school and school-age siblings of children receiving care at Nationwide Children's Hospital. I currently have two jobs and balance them with my rigorous course schedule. I work at KFC and at Riverside Methodist Hospital. As you can see, I am a busy and proactive student. Thank you for your time, and I would appreciate your votes for Homecoming King. Go Bucks!

Transylvania (cWOD)
this wiki
Transylvania is a historical region in the central part of Romania. Bounded on the east and south by the Carpathian mountain range, this region is the scenario for the Transylvania Chronicles, and therefore, some of the major events of the Classic World of Darkness.
Prelude to Transylvania Chronicles
•271: Emperor Aurelian withdraws Roman troops from Dacia.
•896: Magyar tribes conquer the Carpathian Basin. The gyula's tribe occupies the area that will one day be Transylvania. Soon, the territory becomes part of a system to defend against threats from the east. The Pechenegs are the most immediate threat.
•997-1038: Istvan I rules as the king of Hungary. Transylvania is recognized as part of Hungary. With the support of the Roman Catholic Church, he helps spread Western feudalism and imposes Christianity on the inhabitants of Hungary.
••1022: Goratrix of house Tremere discovers a method of inducing immortality through ingesting vampiric blood. Tremere and seven followers become Cainites .
•1128: The Order of the Templars is recognized by the Pope.
••Mid-12th Century: Tremere begin changing select mages of House Tremere into vampyrs; the Tremere create the first Gargoyles.
••1133: Tremere diablerizes Saulot; Tremere begins falling in and out of torpor. His seven personally chosen councilors, all bound to him by Blood Oath, spread throughout the known world.
•1141: Geza II encourages Saxons to colonize Transylvania. The term "Saxon" is a generic name for German settlers, including peoples from Flanders, Luxemborg and Moselle. Their first colonies are in the Sibiu basin and Olt and Hirtbalu valleys. Later, they colonize Bistria.
••1150: Arpad Ventrue create the Council of Ashes and formally recognize seven domains in Transylvania with seven princes to rule them.
•The Kingdom of Hungary grants Saxon peasants hereditary titles in exchange for financial obligations. In many areas, the political leader of a village is given the title of Count and gets a larger plot of land.
•The Szeklers, an ethnically mixed Turkic race, fight in the vanguard of Hungarian armies entering Transylvania. Later, they become the nobility in the feudal system of eastern Hungary.
•1190: The Order of German Hospitalers, an offshoot of the Templars, is founded. In 1198, the society is transformed into the Teutonic Order
••1197: Nova Arpad is captured; Ruxandra of Clan Nosferatu takes her place. Within a year, however, Nova is freed by an opportunistic coterie.
Through Dark Tides Rising
••Several Cainites are summoned to Buda-Pest by their sires, and instructed to scout out the territory surrounding Tihuta Pass. By winter, a fortress is erected there.
•1204: Fall of Constantinople
•1205: Pope Innocent III instigates the Fourth Crusade, rooting out heretic Cathars in the Languedoc. It turns into a full-blown Inquisition.
••Goratrix, responsible for France, is angered by Church intrusions. He begins infiltrating the Church.
•1206-1227: Genghis Khan becomes chief prince of the Mongols.
•1211: Teutonic Knights are brought by Andreas II to defend the southern borders of Hungary from the Cumans. They help expand the Christian feudal system and continue to spread into Transylvania.
••Teutonic Knights inhabit and develop Bran Castle. A cabal of knights inhabit a tower in the Tihuta Pass with a slightly different agenda.
•1223: Mongols invade Russia and begin their forays into Eastern Europe.
•1225: Teutonic Knights are expelled from the Transylvanian region when they attempt to establish a state within a state. By then, the construction of Bran Castle is finished.
•1241: Mongols invade Transylvania using the Tihuta Pass as their primary invasion route. Hungary regains control of these territories within a year, but by this time King Bela IV loses control over much of his land.
••The Tihuta Pass Cask is overrun by the Mongol horde.
•1247-91: Szeklers repopulate the Aranyos area; Saxons repopulate the area around Mediasch.
•1252: Inquisition begins using torture.
•1260: Constantinople recovered from the Normans.
•1283: Teutonic Order completes subjection of Prussia.
•1284-1285: Mongols invade Transylvania again.
•1288: Transylvanian nobles form their own legislature (or diet) in Cluj-Napoca. Note that before this time, much of Transylvanian justice had been maintained by the "wise old men" of the villages. Many serfs and peasants continue to think their own laws are more valid than the rulings of the diet....
•By this time, the formation of guilds has a strong effect on the Transylvanian economy. Guilds allow merchants to set consistent prices, communicate trade secrets, and raise quality standards. Money, another gradual development, becomes a more common substitute for barter.
•After the formation of the Diet of Transylvanian nobles, feudal lords demand increased crop yields from the local serfs. When these quotas aren't met, many Szekler lords seize the debtors' lands and redistribute them. Some impoverished serfs either flee the country or become outlaws.
•1291: Mamelukes conquer Acre. End of the Crusades. The Holy Land is lost.
•1291: At a meeting in Alba Iulia, Andrew Ill allows Vlachs to attend. Hungarian nobles, Saxons and Szeklers are also present. Many peasants consider this promising.
•1301: Andrew III, the last king of the Arpad line, dies.
•In early 14th-century Transylvania, landowning boyars begin renting their lands to peasants.
•Friday, Oct. 13, 1307: Templars of France are arrested on the order of Philip the Fair, King of France. Within the next few years, Templars are tortured and tried for heresy.
••According to some legends, 33 Templars escape. Their famed treasure is smuggled out of France, most of it going to Scotland; some is taken east.
•1312: Templar Order banned and dissolved.
••Two ships (also unaccounted fur) containing vast wealth set sail, presumably with survivors or agents of the Templars seeking refuge in other lands. Numerous splinter groups are formed, explaining why the Ventrue, Nosferatu, and other unseen masters all control the Templars at the same time.
•1314: Jacques de Molay, supposed last grand master of the Templars, is burned at the stake in Paris for alleged heresy; King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement die within the year.
•1330: Prince Bassarab defeats the Hungarians and establishes Wallachia. It becomes a land of refuge for the Vlachs.
•1348-1349: Plague sweeps through Transylvania and the Hungarian Kingdom.
•1349: Bogdan establishes a new state along the Moldava River. Within a decade, it becomes the sovereign state of Moldavia. The princes of the nation are meant to be elected by a council of boyars and clergy. Fierce struggles for such positions eventually make the area vulnerable to invasion.
••1349: The Eastern Lord Ventrue vainly try to set up a number of Saxon princes as part of another council. Many are killed; some are eaten; all are abused.
••Noriz, the Corrupter of legions' childers use the political struggles in Moldavia as an opportunity to maneuver for position in their Reclamationist struggles.
•1366: Louis I begins an effort to convert the Romanian Vlachs to Roman Catholicism.
•1381: Peasants revolt in England under Wat Tyler.
••Wat Tykr's lover, Patricia, is Embraced and takes the name Tyler in his honor.
•1382: Turks capture Sofia.
•1385: Tirgoviste becomes the capital of Wallachia.
•1387: Turks conquer Serbs at the Battle of Kossovo. This is a major turning point in the Ottoman Empire's invasion of the Balkans.
•1391: The Turks cross the Danube into Wallachia. Mircea the Old allies with the king of Hungary to repel the invaders.
•1393: Bajazet (emir of Turks) subdues Bulgaria.
•1394: Pre-Camarilla, first inter-clan meeting to deal with Anarchs
••1395: Tyler's attack against Hardestadt of Clan Ventrue begins the Anarch Revolt.
•1405: Lasombra dies at the hands of his childe.
•1412: Joan of Arc born.
•1417: Mircea signs a peace treaty with the Turks, allowing for Wallachian independence. Eastern Orthodoxy is formally accepted as the state religion. The ruler must pay a tribute of money and goods each year to the Ottoman Sultan.
•1418: Mircea the Old, grandfather of Vlad Tepes, dies after a 32-year rule. He is historically noted for having adding the duchies of Amlas and Faragas, building up fortifications along the Carpathian foothills, and calling for the construction of the fortress of Guigiu on the Danube border to repel the Turks.
•Two noble lines struggle for control of Wallachia. The Danesti line – that is, the descendants of Dan II – has the support of Sigismund I, the Holy Roman Empire. The Draculesti line – that is, the descendants of Vlad II – is its fiercest rival. Vlad II has two illegitimate sons, Radu and Vlad (who will later be known as Vlad the Impaler).
••1420: Anarch movement gains ground. The Vinculum comes into common use.
•1420: Ottoman Turks successfully attack Transylvania.
•1431: Vlad II is living in Nümberg. The Hungarian king chooses him to take the throne of Wallachia. He is summarily "elected" by anti-Danesti boyars (with the covert help of Traditionalist Tzimisce) and invested as a Draconist in the Order of the Dragon.
•1431: Joan of Arc burned at the stake at Rouen; Vlad II's son, Vlad Dracula, is born.
•1435: Founding of Camarilla.
•1437: Antal Nagy leads a major peasant revolt in Babolna. These revolts lead to the formation of the Union of Three Nations. Magyars, Szeklers and Saxons then crush the rebellion (with one swift stroke). The Union declares that these three races are the only ones with recognizable privileges.
•After the rebellions of 1437, the overlords demand serfs to work one day a week for their feudal lord without compensation. If tools or animals are required for this work, the lower classes have to use their own. At harvest time, the serfs are forced into six days of uncompensated work a week.
•In the wake of the rebellion, Romanians are barred from holding public service, holding public office, or living in Saxon or Magyar towns.
The Rest of the Century
•1441: Janos Hunyadi assumes the title of voivode of Transylvania. He then goes on to defeat the Turks at Alba Iulia and Hermanstadt.
•1443: Janos Hunyadi, Hungarian national hero, defeats Turks at Nish.
•1446: Hunyadi elected regent of Hungary.

- No discussion of Kane's awesome is complete without mentioning his casual disposal of The Starscream.
Seth: You see, power shifts quickly in the Brotherhood. Kane has been loathe to attack America, but I think now is the time, and you are the one to do it. This is the Pentagon. A full-scale attack with your strongest forces should render their military center of oper- *gunshot*Kane: Yes. Power shifts more quickly than some people think.
- For reference, you've up until this point been taking orders from Seth, a shady guy with a tendency to send you into missions with faulty intelligence (such as calling an area undefended when it is in fact heavily defended) and slight hints of envy towards you. He's also made it clear that if you fail, you die. He plans to send you on a mission that involves a frontal assault on the Pentagon itself. Then Kane is introduced for the first time in the game, by killing Seth.
- One YouTube comment sums it up: "'This plan is so secret, even Kane knows nothing of it.' Moron, Kane knows everything his people do."
- For reference, you've up until this point been taking orders from Seth, a shady guy with a tendency to send you into missions with faulty intelligence (such as calling an area undefended when it is in fact heavily defended) and slight hints of envy towards you. He's also made it clear that if you fail, you die. He plans to send you on a mission that involves a frontal assault on the Pentagon itself. Then Kane is introduced for the first time in the game, by killing Seth.
- In the sequel, Tiberian Sun, he returns just as badass. As a traitor is about to be executed under continuous shouts of "Kane lives in death." Kane then appears, shouting "Kane LIVES!" Even if you know it's coming, it'll give you chills every single time.
- "Rule of thumb, Hassan: You can't kill the Messiah."
- Which itself gets a Call Back in a trailer for Tiberium Wars: a television reporting Kane's death is switched off...by Joseph Kucan.
- Don't tell me this cutscene didn't give you goosebumps.
"Well. What shall we talk about, hm? Your powerful GDI forces have been emasculated, and you yourself are a killer of children! Of course, it's not true, but the world only believes what the media tells them to believe... and I tell the media what to believe; it's really quite simple. But now that I know where you live, Commander, it's only a matter of time. Were I in your shoes, I would spend my last earthly hours... enjoying the world! Of course, if you wish, you can spend them fighting for a lost cause. But you know that you've lost."
- Every time Kane taunts the GDI commander/player it is both awesome and terrifying.
- Even canonically earlier, would be the end of the Soviet Campaign from the original Red Alert. To explain, up to this point the player had no reason to believe that there was any connection between Red Alert and Command & Conquer aside from the basic style of gameplay. There was, however, an apparently low-ranked bald-headed officer hanging out in the background of a lot of the Soviet cutscenes, but it was probably just a coincidence, right? Cue the ending cutscene. In the span of a few short moments the victory celebration changes as Nadia kills Stalin, then Nadia gets killed by that nameless henchman... yep, it's Kane, and you just set the stage for the Brotherhood's rise to power.
- "Is that camera still running?!"
- Kane's Wrath is one long CMOA, but that's understandable when you've got an entire expansion focusing on that most Magnificent of Magnificient Bastards. When Kane reveals that he deliberately engineered Redmond Boyle's survival because he knew he'd act as an Unwitting Pawn and use the Ion Cannon on Temple Prime, Kane's capacity for the Xanatos Gambit reaches incredible proportions.
- Alexa Kovacs briefly tops that by revealing that she set up Killian Qatar for an attack by Nod forces on Temple Prime, temporarily leaving Kane speechless.
- The intro cutscene to Kane's Wrath is, itself, a true CMOA for Kane himself. How awesome is this speech? Kane punctuates it with thunder and explosions.
"Our enemies believe that we have been defeated, and that I am no longer among the living. They are gravely mistaken. You and I are all that remain, but all that is necessary. For together we shall raise a great army. Together, we shall show the world's downtrodden who the real enemy is! GDI promises them prosperity, but in the slums of Rio, the homeless and the hungry know the truth. They have been forgotten. They have nothing!....but their anger! We will take that spark and start a fire which will become a great conflagration! PEACE! THROUGH! POWER!!!!"
- In Red Alert, any time Nadia makes tea (it's a long story). "Poison?! You BITCH!!"
- Followed, of course, by "For the forseeable future... Comrade Secretary, I am the future."
- Stavros' revenge on Stalin at the end of the Allied campaign in Red Alert. Cold is not the word.
- The Ion Cannon, especially in Command & Conquer: Renegade. From the moment you activate it a light rain starts up out of nowhere as the atmosphere ionizes, columns of light swirl together over the target, and... BOOM, everyone dies.
- Command And Conquer Generals: In the first mission of the USA campaign you see a group of Crusader tanks wiping the floor with a column of Iraqi scorpion tanks without a single loss. This is followed by another wave being slaughtered by Raptor jets. Yeah.
- The Commando is pretty much a walking, talking Crowning Moment of Awesome all to himself.
- The Soviet Cyborg Super Soldier Volkov from Red Alert didn't have such good lines, but was ludicrously badass, to the point where he made Tanya look weak. Yeah. He fought tanks. He fought Tanya. He fought a battleship. And he won.
- The first mission you use him has he and his (also a cyborg) dog airdropped into a sea of explosive barrels. One Allied soldier sets them all off. Neither one is even scratched by the resulting explosions.
- This troper has a soft spot for a certain cutscene in Command and Conquer: Renegade. Though the name of the level is elusive, it begins with a Nod commander ordering the immolation of several civilians. Needless to say this provokes a very pissed off, "REAL TOUGH GUY!?" from the player Commando who promptly snipes said commander in between the eyes.
Prisoner: "You're going up against an entire enemy ship by yourself?"Havoc: "Doesn't seem fair, does it? Maybe I'll shoot left-handed."
- Of course, this being a game based on the aforementioned Commando, there are tons of lines like that. Paraphrased example:
Nod Soldier 1: "Check it out. It's one of those new subs!"Nod Soldier 2: "Impressive! Is it armed?"Havoc: (hops out out of the sub and shoots both of them in an instant with his pistol) "This one is!"
- Earlier in the same level, two Nod soldiers are checking out the submarine int he ship's hold.
- CMOA in music form: One of the themes is based around his Catch Phrase "I got a present for ya".
- That catchphrase also formed the startup screen for the N64 port, in which the Commando blows up the N64 logo.
- Also said by the equally badass Colonel Burton who can literally take a tank on himself, and beat it just by shooting his rifle at it.
- Red Alert 3 features President Ackerman, a walking, talking CMOA. Ackerman's election campaign slogan? "Screw 'em all!" Vote for him, if you want to live.
- His position on illegal immigration? Attack dogs! No walls, no permits, just dogs. Attack dogs!
- "While the other candidates are serving special interests, I'm serving the Commies a steaming platter of shame, with a side order of suck it!"
- He's so awesome that he's donating a pint of blood a week to the uninsured to make them indestructible.
- "You can twist my words, but I can twist that knee until it pops!"
- You want the real crowning moment? In the 2008 elections he actually received a fair few votes... in real life.
- Ackerman actually takes it Up to Eleven after his FaceHeel Turn, when he goes from awesome to Crazy Awesome. How crazy? He turned Mount Rushmore into a giant supervillain lair armed with Death Rays and every other weapon of mass destruction you can think of... and no one even knew he had done so until he unveiled it.
- "Is it done, Yuri?" "No, Comrade Premier... it has only begun."
- Quickly followed by the game's incredible intro coupled with its Crowning Music of Awesome.
- Which sadly loses out, in this Troper's opinion, to that of the sequel. Wow, EA knows how to get it right. Well, sometimes...
- Quickly followed by the game's incredible intro coupled with its Crowning Music of Awesome.
- While Tanya has definitely had some shining moments in her appearances, in the original Red Alert's Tanya has a CMOA in a mission where she's captured by the Soviets and presumably tortured. She manages, with the help of a spy, to escape captivity and kill an NKVD interrogater, while handcuffed to a chair.
- Original Red Alert, Allied first level: rescue Albert freakin' Einstein. Tanya shows up laughing. She kills anything you point to. Einstein runs to safety. Cruisers show up. The Soviet base gets shelled into nothing. Battle over.
- Any time the Desolator from Red Alert 2 opens his mouth.
"It will be a silent spring!""We will make an oasis of death!""Make it GLOW!""Tagged for extinction!""There goes the neighbourhood""HERE COMES THE SUN!"
- Also the Chrono Legionnaire.
"Already there!""Never existed!"
- Also the Chrono Legionnaire.
- Going by that, let's just say almost all the units in all the games. Special heart-warming win goes to the Avatar in C&C3, who speaks everything in a full-deadpan, evil Danger Deadpan voice.
"Under control.""To dust."
"We will bury them!"
- And the Rhino Tank's epic declaration in Red Alert 2:
- Which is utterly smoked by the Apocalypse Tank's new voice and quotes in Red Alert 3:
"It is day of judgment""Bringing down the hammer""Taste your mortality""The Apocalypse has begun""Armageddon is here""They will run in fear""It will soon be a wasteland."
- Then it gets completely totalled by the Pacfier FAV, which literally has 3 emotions, Total Confidence, Absolute Confidence and Totally Absolute Confidence.
- "Eliminate them""Cripple them""We'll put a stop to this""Erase them""They had their chance""Put them down""We have his name""We'll put them to rest""Watch as they buckle""We will Settle this""They won't matter soon""We know who they are"
- Tiberium Twilight has quickly become the black sheep of the franchise, but that doesn't mean it too doesn't have its share of CMOAs.
- Notably, during the GDI campaign, is Colonel James' response to an impenetrable Nod defense: drop an entire GDI army on it from orbit.
- And who could forget the Titan MKII voice?:
- "That's right, daddy is here now!""I'm gonna crack some skulls!""Bringing the pain!"
- The beginning of GDI's first mission in Tiberian Sun shows GDI soldiers running in terror from Nod cyborgs screaming for reinforcements. Reinforcements who proceed to rain from the sky in drop pods, blasting the cyborgs to pieces and landing on their corpses.
- And the last GDI cut scene in Tiberian Sun has the player character, Michael McNeil, going hand-to-hand with Kane himself in Nod's Pyramid Temple. They struggle, go off-camera, shots are fired, and Kane walks back into frame, still spouting his "I'm a close second to God" gibberish, leaving the player to think McNeil is dead. Then Kane chokes, checks himself, and realizes he's bleeding, turning just in time to see McNeil running up to stab him with a giant shard of Tiberium and send him to hell with a pithy one-liner.
- Kane: "I am the future! The Tiberian Sun has risen-!" (holds hands to chest, sees blood on fingers. Turns to see-)McNeil: "NOT ON MY WORLD!" (Stabs Kane. You see the Tiberium spike jutting out of Kane's back. McNeil twists the spike and Kane falls to the floor, quite dead.) "And that's an order."
- CABAL gets a good one in Firestorm. In the Nod campaign, when you're trying to take CABAL's core offline It turns out the core is just a hologram, and CABAL starts launching waves of cluster missiles all over the map. The kicker: CABAL then taunts you with this line, "By the way, missile launch detected."
- Red Alert 3's most awesome/funny sequence is a mission where all you get is a conscript and a war bear and you are told to go kill The Emperor of the Rising Sun.
- And you succeed, although it's only a robotic duplicate. Still, it buys enough time for your army to show up.
- During Yuriko Omega's mini-campaign in Uprising, she single-handedly a) destroys the Shiro Psychic Research facility, causing "many billions of yen" in damages; b) breaks out of cryo-prison and starts a riot among the Soviet and Imperial POWs that demolishes the entire camp, including two aircraft carriers, and c) comes back to Shiro, demolishes the place again despite their preparations, and caps the whole affair by taking down her Evil Twin "sister", Izumi.
- The Mammoth tank's total confidence while being pitted against a alien freaking invasion
Armor SuperiorityFlatten Them!Roll Over Them!Lets have some FUN!Close in!UnstoppableUnrivaled
- GDI's leadership gets one in Tiberian Dawn, when they actually manage to trick Kane for once. Even better, they do it by taking advantage of one of Kane's plans.
- The activation of Sonic Emitters in the GDI campaign of Tiberium Wars. Your powerful GDI force is on the run from the alien Scrin, and entire battalion of Mammoth Tanks are being destroyed in the background by the alien hordes while you are desperately fighting to evacuate a small group of scientists in buses with a small force of your own while the whole city is being torn apart. Your GDI troops flee across a river and an engineer reactivates the sonic grid meant to reclamate the area, not fight a war. The emitters power up, and you hear the trademark sound of TWIII sonic weapons firing... Cue Scrin units blowing up and essentially ending their ground pursuit of your forces, with soldiers shouting how powerful the emitters are in awe. That is one heck of an introduction to one heck of a base defense.
- The opening Nod cutscene of Tiberian Sun has a nice bit:
CABAL: A division of Hasan's Elite Guard is closing on our position. The probablility of a favorable outcome can be increased if we can return to your main base and engage the enemy as we move.Slavik: Define 'favorable outcome', CABAL.CABAL: They all die.Slavik: (entirely matter-of-fact) That'll do.
Mc Neil: Let's kick some ass.
- Likewise the GDI opening cut scene with Mc Neil (Michael Bihen) being commanded by Solomon (James Earl Jones,) aka Kyle Reese and Darth Vader. After Kane's appearance Solomon offers the best GDI jump jet soldiers to retake a base, already being dispatched from the Philadelphia space station as the Kodiak cuts a path across the atmosphere.
- Just any particularly powerful unit will indeed sound badass.
- GDI as a whole gets one in Tiberium Wars. After several decades of peace, Nod comes out of nowhere, destroys their main command center (with most of their civilian leaders), takes the Ion Cannons offline and invades every single Blue Zone simultaneously. GDI takes the hit, fights off the assault, gears up, and pushes Nod back deep into the Yellow Zones. Then the Liquid Tiberium Bomb goes off and it looks like they've won... until the Scrin arrive, attacking cities all over the planet. GDI fights them off, turns around and successfully invades Red Zones destroying all of the Scrin towers but one. Kane may have succeeded in his objectives, and the Scrin may have been able to retreat, but from on a tactical level, GDI crushed BOTH of them.
Awesome / Command & Conquer
Kane, the Big Bad of the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series gets quite a few moments.

Growing Up & Changing
When we turned 14, we had all changed. All grown-up, different. Good different, unique and as i looked at myself in the mirror in the mornings i just felt like this is me and im my own self. I started to have feelings for Mick i jsut saw him differently one day. Thats also when i noticed i had grown-up. My mother had too. When Kathleens room was filled with Boy band and Actor posters. Kathleen drifted from me a bit. She was still adventurous and she Had her first ever boyfriend. She hid that fact from Mother. Only because she was scared. And he was an It Crowd person. Yes Danny Mcrogers. The fourteen year old Terror of our year. He smoked and Wore leather jackets and shades. Alot of girls loved him. No suprise Kathleen fell for him too. Mick fancied a girl. So he told me. He never told me who. He would tell me in the evenings Before he went home. Or when we walked home from school Together. He would say how her eyes sparkled and how her smile made him melt. I wished i had that affect on him. I only wished and did not say a word on how i felt. I was scared and foolish. I wonder now if i had said something then i might of been the one. i soon realised the one girl he had eyes for was infact a girl from the year above. Typically, every boy was in love with her. She was a blonde Bimbo. Short skirts, High heels, Blond hair and blue eyes. A dream boat. i sulked alot at that time. To myslef of course, i did not let anyone see me like that. i felt like i was the only one left without love. i was wrong of course, but it just felt like it and it made me angry. So angry, i snapped at my mother, my own mother and one day i broke out and told her how lonely i felt. How kathleen was going out with a danger boy and Mick fancied some bimbo girl and i was the unloved girl. Mother sent me away to think to myself. It helped. I noticed I was thinknig all wrong. I was loved. Possibly not by a boring Boy. but by my Family. And i shant sulk as my Mother is the same. Where as she could easily go and find a husband. But thats what i thought. At that age i didn't know life was harder than it sounded.

So, you are stacking _means_ ? Actually, that's not a question.
You are stacking means. Is that what you want to do?

Thank you. Here is an example similar to my data, but simpler:
x-variable: gender, taking values 0 and 1.
y-variables: income gap, divided into 3 components:
gap_ed, gap_exp, gap_unknown
I am using Stata 10.0. Without trying to use pattern fills, this is
very easy to do using the "bar graph" command. As in:
graph bar gap_ed gap_exp gap_unknown, over(gender) stack

Dress Like Laura Ingalls for Halloween
One of the most endearing and popular children's authors is Laura Ingalls Wilder. Born on February 7, 1867, she was the second child of Charles and Caroline Ingalls' five children. Her family was a typical pioneer one. Her father had a wandering foot and because he was the man, the family did as they were told and they traveled across the United States.
The Ingalls family lived a hard life in comparison to the cushy ones that kids have today. Everything had to be done by hand, and kids could not excuse themselves from chores because they were in the middle of an Xbox game.
Many girls become fascinated by Laura's life. She told about it in her first book, Little House in the Big Woods, which was published in 1932. It told the story of five year old Laura, her seven year old sister, Mary, and her baby sister, Carrie, as they lived in the Big Woods of Pepin, Wisconsin.Credit: By NBC Television Network (eBay item photo front photo back) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons

Despite their young age, Laura and Mary were expected to help out and do chores. There was no three hours of playing with Mommy when they had to cook, sew and garden to meet their everyday needs and to simply survive.
The Theme Song That Takes You Back in Time
It was such a critical hit that fans clamored for more of Laura's stories. Her second book, Little House on the Prairie, has the family moving to the great plains of Kansas to set up a homestead. It is this book that we meet Mr. Edwards, a beloved character who played a pivotal role in the television series based on the books.Credit: www.amazon.com
All told, there were nine books in the Little House series. Each one had it's share of happy times and hard times, but through it all, faith and family got them through it.
In fact, when Mary lost her eyesight due to her bout with scarlet fever, Pa made Laura promise to be Mary's eyes. This is what fans and scholars believe to be the beginning of Laura's writing career, as she had to be as descriptive of her surroundings as she could be so Mary could visualize what was taking place.

The only good to come of it was that he was successful in preventing the carjacking and the original victim wasn't injured.
Sylmar teen shot to death after stopping carjacking - LA Daily NewsPACOIMA - An 18-year-old was shot to death Sunday morning after trying to help a motorist and stop a carjacking, police said.
Javier Villareal of Sylmar was shot multiple times at 1:05 a.m. and died at the scene of the attack in the 11000 block of El Dorado Avenue, said Sgt. Gil Serafin, Los Angeles Police Department's Foothill Division.
Serafin said Villareal saw the three men involved in the carjacking and ran over, armed with a gun, to intervene. Villareal's gun caught the attention of the men, and one opened fire on the teen. Villareal fell to the ground.
The men, believed to be in a gang, did not pursue the carjacking any further and fled away in their car.
The motorist involved in the carjacking was not injured, Serafin said.
He should be hailed a hero! Too many people do not get involved because of many unpleasant outcomes. This one is the worst.
I thought it was illegal to carry a hand gun in LA? These car jackers were obviously breaking the law.
Just goes to show again and again how dumb it is to prevent respectable people from being able to protect themselves.
My heart goes out to the family and in my book this young man is a true hero.
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.
I hope they skin the BG's for this one. Good for the kid!! Unfortunately it ended badly. Still, a hero's parade for this young man is in order.
Trying to leave as large a carbon footprint as possible.
Shivering in the "heat"
Innocent as doves, wise as serpents, armed like wolves.
More guts than brains; getting killed because of poor tactics is not enough to be a hero in my book. "Don't die for your country, help the ******* on the other side die for his" (can't remember who said this)
Very sad nevertheless ... hope the BG rot in hell.

So many of the comments on the link are trying to blame this incident on the police and making derogatory comments about the police that I had to quit reading. When are people going to realize that it's not the police's fault that they can't be there as a crime is taking place. We have to take responsibility for our own survival and defense. I won't even speculate why the 18 yr. old kid had a firearm and whether he was legal with it or not. It appears that he tried to do something to stop a crime and I sympathize with his family.

Not even sure what to say on this one. Obviously, whatever tactics he used or didn't use, didn't work in his favor. Hate to hear that happened to him when he was trying to help.
sounds like he made 2 errors: advertising he was armed, thus giving the BGs warning and time to act instead of react; and not using any cover when he advanced on the BGs. I've stopped a couple ugly situations by staying behind cover and letting the BGs know the police were on the way. Staying behind cover meant they didn't know just what they were dealing with and they were exposed while I was covered.
He also engaged multiple assailants committing a forcible felony from what can only be assumed to be no cover whatsoever. If someone is willing to do a felony of that degree, than you must assume the are willing to do whatever it takes to get away, too... this includes you if you get in the way.
The comments are clearly out of line, but I'm not inclined to be sympathetic toward the LAPD. They aren't as bad as NYPD or CPD but not for lack of trying: LAX vehicle search yields cache of guns, ammunition - Los Angeles Times
I've got a whole lot more stories of lawful firearms owners being intimidated, harassed and arrested without legal justification.

To The FetcherMature
This note was discovered under the toll bridge outside Seattle city limits. Previously, a young girl's body was found (a week and a half from this police report) in a creek nearby, but there is little other significance to this odd note. It is written on a strange stationary, soft like velvet but thin and tough like cowhide.
It's time.

Allen & Overy (A&O) has added a new client to its expanding airlines practice after beating competitors including Clifford Chance to an instruction from Oman Aviation Services Company.
A&O's New York office has closed the airline's first deal with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), the US's official export credit agency.
Ex-Im financed the Oman airline's acquisition of a Boeing 737. Ex-Im can provide borrowers with a list of law firms, but cannot make recommendations. The airline selected firms from the list for a tender, with Clifford Chance among them.
The deal was small – about $30m (£18m) – but New York banking partner Ian Shrank said he hoped it would lead to future instructions. He added: "We've been trying to expand our aviation practice. It's a difficult time to do that in the present aviation market. Also most airlines already have [external] counsel. But we have had some notable successes."
This year A&O expanded its relationship with Qantas, and has added Iberia and KLM to its client list.

NSW households face more pressure on their budgets with gas prices set to rocket 17.6% from July 1, adding up to $224 a year to an average bill.
The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (Ipart) revealed the draft proposals on Wednesday, with Australia's growing export market and the carbon tax taking the blame.
The rise means an average household will have to stump up $150-224 extra every year from July 1, depending on the supplier.
Gas prices in NSW have already increased by about 40% in real terms between 2006 and 2014, piling enormous pressure on some households.
Electricity prices have increased by more than 80% over the same period.
The latest gas price rises, which are subject to public consultation before being rubber-stamped in June, apply to households on regulated tariffs (about one in four of the state).
However, those on unregulated tariffs also face significant price hikes, driven by rising wholesale costs. Small businesses also face significantly increased gas bills.
Ipart said wholesale gas costs were mostly to blame, fuelled by Australia's growing gas export industry and the carbon tax.
A growing number of gas export facilities, mostly located on the eastern seaboard, means Australian-based gas producers are increasingly able to sell liquid natural gas overseas, mostly to Asia, at a higher price.
Ipart suggested domestic gas prices will essentially merge with the higher international prices over time, as export facilities continue to grow.
The 2014-15 gas price rises have been calculated with a carbon tax component. But the 2015-16 prices have not and Ipart said if the carbon tax was not repealed, prices could rise again.
The federal government has introduced legislation to dump the carbon tax but it faces a tough task getting it through the Senate.
The NSW energy minister, Anthony Roberts, used the price rises to urge Labor and the Greens to support the carbon tax repeal bill.
But state opposition leader, John Robertson, said the state government should push for a reservation policy for domestic gas use instead.
"We're seeing massive increases in gas because suddenly the eastern seaboard is exposed to the global market," he said. "That's pushing prices up."
Reservation policies were used in other countries to protect families from price shocks, Robertson said.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
And DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME! With just 10 games to go in the regular season, The Mets, Cardinals, and Giants all find themselves tied for the 2 Wild-Card spots with identical 80-72 records.
Should there still be a tie on the morning of October 3, baseball will employ its tie breaking procedure, which is so complicated, they might be better off doing Rock-Paper-Scissors, or launch a reality show to find the 2 teams to advance.
Of course, this situation could have been less of a possibility had the Mets taken at least 2 out of 3 from Atlanta this week. But alas, the Braves played the spoiler role to the letter, and the Mets once again could not generate enough offense to avoid being swept by the Braves. Luckily, the Mets have a slight advantage, as the Cardinals face the Cubs this weekend, and the Giants have the Dodgers o tape to close out the regular season. The Mets just needs to take care of business against Philadelphia and Miami from here on out.
To put the ugliness of the Braves series behind us, here are the three stars for the series:
Curtis Granderson: 4 for 11, Double, 2 Runs, RBI
It good to see Granderson starting to show signs of hitting again. Over the last 7 days, Granderson has been able to hit .300 with a couple of Home Runs to go along with it. He also has raised his average 13 points this month.
Asdrubal Cabrera : 4 for 11, Double, Home Run, 2 Runs, 3RBI's
Cabrera's Home Run on Wednesday night gave him 21 for the year, His 20 as a Shortstop set a new record for Home Runs by a Mets Shortstop in a season, which was previously set by Jose Reyes in 2006.
T.J. Rivera: 4 for 11, Home Run, Run, 2 RBI's
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Since the "Second Baseman of the Future" was traded away for the severely underperforming Jay Bruce. I would love to see TJ Rivera given serious consideration for the starting job at Second next season, especially if Neil Walker is not re-signed. Should Walker be re-signed, Rivera deserves the top spot as a versatile infielder, as Kelly Johnson has been able to do the past 2 seasons for the Mets.
Buckle Up, Mets fans, and enjoy the next 10 games

Pozitive Influence
Fans of Project Runway know all about Denvers own fashion darling, Mondo Guerra, who was a finalist last season. For one of the challenges, Mondo had to create a textile pattern using computer software. He created this pattern that was purple squares with this plus sign all outlined in yellow, and he actually won that challenge, notes Remigio Darby, Guerras personal representative. And it became the piece, or the creation, that inspired him to disclose his HIV status; that was not necessarily something he had planned. He went into the show with the opposite intention, to keep his status very private. So it was a symbol of empowerment that he wanted to share with the world. And that was the humble beginning of the Pozitivity Project, Guerras campaign to reclaim the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS and to provide community support for those living with the disease. Partnering with the Colorado AIDS Project, Pozitivity will launch tonight at Wilhelmina Denver, 209 Kalamath Street, Suite 10, from 6 to 9 p.m.
The event will feature a DJ, appetizers, beverages (including wine and beer), door prizes and a photo booth where people can try on a Pozitiv-a-Tee and have their picture taken. We want to have a collection of people and faces and stories, and these kinds of experiences everyone can share, says Darby. Were not saying if you wear the shirt, youre HIV-positive its not about that. Its about having the compassion to rally around the community and really provide that kind of support that people might not feel is available.
Mondo will be present, Darby adds, and everyone who purchases a ticket will receive one of the Pozitivity shirts, which is the foreground of the campaign. Its the first opportunity for anyone to get their hands on these shirts, and were happy to be able to offer it to Denver first.
Admission is $50, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit CAP; visit www.coloradoaidsproject.org to purchase tickets, and www.lovemondotrasho.com for information.

Love? Bring it on!Mature
The school secretary answers the phone and looks over at the two people sitting silently side by side in the waiting room. "Ms Bishop? Mr The head will see you now" Emma Bishop immediately stands up, her fabric swishing and her six inch heels clicking on the wooden floor. Before entering she darts a quick glance back at the man who hasn't moved and then enters the room.
Pete Adamson (Sarah's Dad), who had no idea that he was sitting next to Abbie's mum, instantly takes in the shoes, the tights (stockings?) the outfit, the hips, the waist, the back, the stride, the scent, the glance, the profile, the woman. The woooman! It was as if her sudden movement had cast a spell over him. He sits there not moving, eyes fixed to the spot where he last saw her. Entranced, his mouth slightly open, (a bit of dribble about to fall from his lips), totally unaware of his surroundings, as if hypnotised, as if moving, (even breathing,) would somehow break the spell.
Slowly he becomes aware of a voice intoning his name Mr Adamson? Mr Adamson? are you ok? The head needs to see you as well. It's the secretary. He snaps to awareness with an Uh! sound. He is confused, "sorry, uh, no, yes, what was that, who? what…"
"The head wants to see both your self and Ms Bishop together repeats the secretary. "Yes of course" mumbles Pete. Realising his mouth has gone totally dry he walks to the water fountain and quickly downs two cups of water. "Pete, Fix-Up!" he admonishes himself as he walks over to the door
Emma Bishop is wearing a smart Karen Millen skirt and jacket ensemble. She purposely wore her heels to give herself extra confidence. She felt uncomfortable talking to teachers at the best of time but this time she felt she had to do something to stop her daughter from martyring herself over some weird sense of warped loyalty. And she felt it was her duty to let the school know what was really going on.
Pete enters the room, nods at her and the headmaster, and takes the proffered seat. Before the headmaster could open his mouth to make introductions, Emma immediately took advantage of Pete's seemingly dazed appearance "Right, Mr Sarah's Dad" said Emma Bishop in a sarky 'I'm just being reasonable kind of voice'. "Nice of you to join us. First of all can you explain to myself and the headmaster what type of father allows his daughter to pour acid all over her supposedly best friend, Abbie, who also happens to be my daughter and why I shouldn't go to the police right now and get her locked up and institutionalised….?
He takes a deep breath locks eyes with Emma and doesn't even attempt to hide the smile that seems to come from his soul.
