Hong Kong (AFP) Sept 16, 2013
Casino bosses and pro-Beijing candidates dominated poll results in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau, with democrats conceding defeat on Monday.
Sunday's polls were marred by reports of perks offered to voters during last-minute campaigning in a city which has been transformed by the gambling industry.
Macau is now the world's biggest casino capital, overtaking Las Vegas in revenues and employing some 23 percent of the total workforce.
Preliminary election results released early Monday showed democrats had secured just two out of the 14 directly-elected seats in the city's lawmaking body, down from three in the previous election in 2009.
"I concede defeat as we lost one seat," a leader of the pro-democracy camp, New Macau Association's Antonio Ng Kuok-cheong, told reporters.
"It also proved a theory that if you need to be elected in an economically booming village, what it takes is long-term material advantages," Ng said, accusing the pro-establishment camp of using its financial resources to sway voters.
A government spokesman told AFP that results would be validated in the next few days, with any appeals going to court.
Pro-democracy candidates in the city of 590,000 had campaigned on high property prices and freedom of speech.
But the increasingly popular pro-establishment camp, including casino-backed candidates, rode the wave of Macau's economic growth, which was sparked by the liberalisation of gambling in 2002.
Macau laws prohibit offering benefits to voters, but illicit campaigning remains common.
The government said Monday that two people had been arrested for offering incentives.
Hong-based Apple Daily said some casinos had given their workers the day off to vote.
The South China Morning Post reported that free transport to polling stations was offered to some voters, as well as free food and drink.
Commissioner Against Corruption Fong Man-chong admitted that many acts had "tested the boundary of legality", the Post reported.
Fourteen people were also arrested for taking pictures with their mobile phones at polling stations.
A record 145 candidates were vying for seats, but turnout was down five percent on 2009 with around 152,000 voting, the government said.
The remaining 19 seats in the 33-strong legislature are either appointed by the chief executive -- who is selected by Beijing -- or chosen by business and industry groups.

Detailed Description:
This randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of an Iyengar Yoga intervention to a Wellness Seminar health education lecture series, for improvements in energy, mood and biological functioning in breast cancer survivors with persistent, post-treatment fatigue. It is anticipated that the Iyengar Yoga intervention will be feasible and acceptable to breast cancer survivors with minimal side effects and that the Yoga intervention will be effective in improving fatigue and physical performance.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Other: Iyengar Yoga
The poses and breathing techniques to be used in this study are based on sequences developed by B.K.S. Iyengar for breast cancer survivors who suffer from fatigue. Women will start with simple versions of the poses and progress to more advanced versions over the course of the intervention.
Other Name: Yoga
Active Comparator: 2
A Wellness Seminar series
Other: Wellness Seminar Series
The Wellness Seminar Series consists of lectures on key topics, followed by group discussion. This series will focus entirely on cancer survivorship, including sessions on quality of life, side effects of cancer treatment, stress, nutrition and psychosocial issues.
Other Name: Health education
Detailed Description:
Fatigue is the most common and distressing side effect of cancer treatment and persists beyond successful treatment completion in approximately 30% of breast cancer survivors, causing serious disruption in quality of life. Behavioral interventions incorporating physical activity or relaxation/stress management have demonstrated beneficial effects on cancer-related fatigue, although research in cancer survivors is limited. Mind-body interventions such as yoga are extremely popular among cancer patients and offer a promising alternative to traditional treatments. Research is needed to establish the feasibility and efficacy of these interventions in cancer populations, particularly those who are experiencing problems with fatigue.

text: Or we just keep pushing it into the future as we have been. In actual economics, it would be a terrible move, but it seems that in Salary-cap-onomics, it might work. Maybe the parallels to real world budgets and such just don't exist. We've always looked at the Redskins and thoer BS that they'd have to pay the piper eventually, and now it would look like we'll "be in horrible shape in a couple of seasons" but the truth is, we are in horrible shape right now... and working our way out of it. There is a common belief that eventually it will catch up to us, and I'm one that always thought that was the case. I am starting to think that the yearly re-shuffling will just keep going on indefinitely. Some years, we'll have more and some less, but I think I am finally realizing that the Cowboys may be able put cap hell off indefinitely after all. Yeah, we'll hit cap purgatory (like this year), but there seem to be ways to avoid an all out apocalypse.

Keep an eye out for what Patrick LaRoque does next. He accepted the challenge - jut to put the pressure on I think we are in for a treat…
On another note - he has been a bit giddy about the newly released VSCO Film 03. So I checked it out and god damn it he made me buy it. Just to see why he was so pleased with it and so I could be a curmudgeon like usual and complain how my favorite Polaroid product - Type 55 - or the little version Type 665 was not at all represented well in this new instant film inspired set of presets. Well 32 seconds into playing with it I am giddy as well.
Yea - I play with Impossible stuff and Instax stuff but to tell the truth it's just playing. Back when the real deal Polaroid was around I was ambivalent about most of the products. I used it mostly for testing lighting prior to shooting real big boy film on medium format. Well I did really really like Type 55 which is the same as type 665 just a different format. It was the only thing I was really sorry to see go.
I shot the image at the top yesterday and just uploaded them this morning. I haven't even figured out which ones I like yet. This is Polaroid 690. After buying Film 03 I have to say that not only is it amazingly fun but has far far more depth than I expected there are an amazing number of looks and the new tool kit is really well matched to the theme. Not only is it deep and diverse but even I am going to put Film 03 to good use - as in use it on images I actually care about.
Here are a few more random samples from mild to wild.
Polaroid 669
Fuji 100c Negative
Polaroid 665 - TK - Old lens++ Tone 665 Warm 1
Polaroid 669 Cold+ TK - Old lens
Fuji FP 100c
It's not a toy as I expected. In fact it may be the best product VSCO has released yet in their very well done film emulation preset line. Color me shocked - I never expected this Instant focused film pack to at all see the light of day in my own use for real work. It absolutely will. Fantastic Job VSCO. If you are a big fan of instant film looks - or even if you, like me, are a bit ambivalent about them VSCO Film 03 is absolutely worth checking out. Great product - and you know I do not say that very often.
Now all I need to do is somehow convince VSCO to fix the Aperture 3 versions…

Last night, after everyone in Brussels had spent most of the day digesting the European Commission's reports on all 27 EU countries' budget plans, officials quietly posted far more interesting documents online: the "staff working papers" that underpin the policy recommendations issued earlier in the day.
According to Commission officials, this was done intentionally. They wanted reporters and national officials to focus on the recommendations and not the analysis behind them.
But starting this morning, Brussels Blog began combing through the working documents – which are much longer and more detailed than the Commission recommendations – starting with the country many consider the next eurozone bailout candidate: Slovenia. It makes for eye-opening reading. Read more

Two little questions that we've come to expect when our students are weighing their options for a MAT program.
Each Marygrove MAT program requires five terms, or less than two consecutive years to complete. In fact, 88 percent of our students achieve graduation just under the two-year mark. That's pretty remarkable. We also require you to complete the program within six years…or within 2,189 days, if that is more motivating to you.
Every course in the program is seven weeks long, with a week break in between. Students will take two courses per semester, completing one course at a time. Our MAT courses are offered in lock-step format, that is, all students are in the same core courses in the same order. Before students begin work on a given course, they must have completed the previous one in the sequence. The lock-step approach fosters greater collegiality and networking with peers, since everyone is on the same page in the process.
What it will cost you.
We believe that the Marygrove MAT program is a smart investment in your career– and your future– which is hard to put a price tag on these days. However, you can expect to pay roughly $12,600 in tuition for our 30-credit program. That's $420 per credit hour, which, by comparison is very reasonable for an advanced degree. We'll even give you a five percent group discount for applying with at least four other students!
We also have a Tuition Management Systems plan that makes fitting payments into your budget much easier. Call our help line toll-free at 855-MATMARYGROVE or sign up for the plan at www.afford.com.
A student services administrative fee of $90 will be assessed per semester, but it costs you absolutely nothing to fill out an application. Learn more about the three-step application process.

Chef Essig's Featured Item of the Week
Chef Aran's Memorable Vacation in Germany
On a recent trip to Germany with my son, we had the opportunity to see and taste our way from Frankfurt down to Munich. Along the way, we ate some wonderful meals... sausages, beef rouladen, cabbage, dumplings... some more sausages, spaetzle, wonderful breads and pastries... and yes, even more sausages!
Surprising Food Finds... more than just sausages
We learned that most businesses in Germany are closed on Sundays (even some of the major fast food chains close at 1:00pm)... but one restaurant was actually open Sunday night. They seemed to be the only one open in this major city, and the food they were offering was the same one I had been noticing as being very popular along our route.
I was surprised to see one food that was extremely popular, not only in the larger cities, but it was also making an appearance in many of the smaller towns.
What is everyone waiting in line for?
People were packed into this very busy café standing three deep at the counter waiting to order. So what was everyone waiting in line for?? Believe it or not, people were waiting to order Gyros (one of the most mispronounced words in the food world). The word Gyro is Greek and is pronounced (YEE-ros) and comes from the Greek, γύρος ("turn"). Growing up near Chicago, I was familiar with this food, but I was surprised to see it so popular in Germany.
Couldn't resist the smells
As we walked into the restaurant, there was a four foot spit of meat roasting behind the counter. The smell permeated into the street, and you could hardly resist not going in to sample a taste. We were very hungry, and there was no other place open in the whole city, so it was even more tempting.
The carver sharpened his long knife across a steel and expertly cut off paper thin slices of the meat as it turned ever-so-slowly on the spit. This meat gets loaded into a freshly grilled piece of flatbread and is topped with lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cucumber, cucumber sauce, and feta cheese.
I have had many Gyros before in my life, but this one was definitely the best. Walking around the whole city for 2 hours looking for a place that was open probably contributed to the satisfying taste of the hot sandwich.
Gyros are a combination of ground beef, ground lamb, breadcrumbs, water, oregano, and other spices fused together under great pressure. This mixture is frozen and sold to restaurants which cook the pressed ground meat on large vertical roasters. The top producers of Gyro meat in the United States are all located in the Chicago area, where the dish is said to have had its origin here in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
The first person to make Gyros in the US is often debated, but an interesting article from the NY Times (source listed below) goes further into the debate and provides some history/origin of the dish here in the US. If you have a chance to read the article, you will see the writer chose Kronos as his main contact for the subject. Here at UNC, we use Kronos Gyro meat and pitas. Although we do not use the vertical spits, the meat is prepared from the same recipe used for the traditional gyro cones.
Join us for lunch at the UC Food Court!
Gyros are wonderful with a pita that is hot off the grill and topped with your choice of tomatoes, lettuce, black olives, feta cheese, cucumbers, onions, and cucumber sauce. Whether you love them or have never tried them before, we hope you will join for lunch on Tuesday, March 29th at the University Center Food Court and have a taste of this quick and enjoyable food that is becoming a sensation across the globe.

RE: Psychiatric Medications
Dear HHS Committee;
The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill of Massachusetts appreciates the state?s recent efforts to protect access to psychiatric medications. We also appreciate you need to look for cost effective strategies to curb costs. Yet, since we are all committed to insuring safe treatment for the chronically mentally ill, we should understand;
1. Medications to treat serious mental illnesses are essential parts of the already fragile treatment system. NAMI understands the need to cost contain and appreciates the motivation to save vital state resources. These are indeed very trying economic times.
2. The danger of importation programs is quality assurance, which even the FDA can not insure. These purchasing programs for mental health drugs can be dangerous. It places very vulnerable persons (adults, children and elders) with serious mental illness in the middle of a pricing battle between the pharmaceutical companies and state government. This is simply not acceptable. Placing life saving medications in an uncertain supply chain or entirely excluding them based on the willingness of the government and pharmaceutical company to negotiate places persons with serious mental illness in jeopardy and without vital treatment. The outcomes can be devastating. People can lose their jobs, homes, and at times their lives. The process can create a tremendous cost shift, which has been documented repeatedly. The use of ERs, jails, inpatient facilities and homeless shelters can increase significantly.
3. The value of a particular medicine cannot be measured by its price. It is measured by how well it treats a particular patient when delivered at the right time and at the right dose. Saving money in the pharmaceutical budget through shortsighted restrictions does not necessarily translate to reduce spending generally, as each change in treatment may require additional doctors? visits, medical testing and monitoring. Prescription medicines are a single component in the spectrum of health care services, and still account for only about 10% of the health care dollar.
People with mental illness and their families know that the lack of access to appropriate medications can quickly unravel and destroy lives. These treatments can mean the difference between hope and despair, recovery and struggle, and even life and death.

Why is it I always have such a hard time trying to produce even scarce amounts of jewelry and chocolate? I always build the desired amount of factories/apiaries/etc, yet my stock is constantly dwindling and I rarely have enough money to keep production running at a feasible level.
Also, can anyone help me out with conquering other islands? I can send fleets with 10 ships yet I really can't seem to get a good hold on an island before getting pushed back and defeated.
Any tips you can expand on to help out with this? Once I get these two problems sorted my colony will really explode.

I'm having the same issue with Chocolate. Any tips?
Some tip that might be helpful for the guide:
Always think of your building's needs.
You must've seen the "influence area" of a building when you tried to build it. Public buildings, splendours, military, and protection buildings do have the usual definition: how far the building can influence, but production buildings works differently: the influence area is actually the area they need to be able to work with 100% productivity. You should have noticed the percentage you see when you choose a building, 100% means it's working perfectly, and lower must not be good. Allocate the sufficient space for your buildings. Placing 2 cattle farms side-by-side will lower your buildings' productivity, and this is not good. Sure, having 2 79%s seem to work better than 1 100%. But do this too much and the productivity may be as low as 59%.
Note: factories have different use of influence area, it indicates which buildings' resources can this building use, otherwise it will take the goods from the market
Try to build with great efficiency
Anno 1701 is a Real-Time Strategy, that said, your resources will increase as the time flows, which happens to be a vital resource. Wasting your time to wait for a building to have the stock transported to a market will be a waste of time, even 1 sec per transport will be 1 minute long if you played long enough. Try to build factories as near as possible with their source (e.g. build a market beside your shipyard, you'll be surprised to see how fast the ship builds, up to 12 secs flat only, it happened to me). Think of the source's needs too, building them too near to the factory (except for grain farm and apiary) may lower their productivity. Also, try to remember what building needs what source. Build a lumberjack near an ore smelter immediately, don't wait until the game tell you to do so. Doing this will let your resources arrive at market and warehouses faster, and so your needs will be fulfilled quicker.

Great job! Too bad this game isn't popular.
Currently Playing: Re4, Twilight Princess, FFIII.

If this is realtime, does that mean further into the game it becomes a "click" or "tap" fest... because a lot of stuff happens at once, and happens too fast?
How this compared to CivRev on DS (which is turn-based I believe)
And how is this compared to Rise Of Nations (PC)?

I found that the game moves at a reasonable pace for someone who does NOT play RTS games at all. I found I was ahead of the curve during the entire story line. Haven't spent a lot of time in Free Play but I would never call Anno a tap-fest, even during times of heated combat.

When I tap on a building, there are some options to choose. One option is two gears. Anyone knows what is the two gears option for?
Most anticipated : RE5, Operation Flashpoint 2, Kingdom Under Fire 2, Dead Rising 2

It's used to halt the buildings production. I.e. Use it when you have a lot of wood, shut down a lumberjack, that way it wont cost you any gold.
Some comments on questions asked in this topic:
> later in the game, once you successfully conquer an enemy island,
> demolish their buildings to recover some $ and lower your building maintenance costs
In fact, I have found that unless you have a very high income or very high amount of gold, sometimes you will need to demolish enemy buildings to prevent yourself going broke.
In Chapter 5, Mission 15, if you simply take over all the enemy buildings and never demolish anything, your expenses will be astronomical (those Outposts are very expensive). It appears, however, that you cannot demolish something where there has been a recent battle, so you might have to wait a while before demolishing; I would like to demolish some of the Outposts the minute I gain control of them, so that the enemy can't attack them back and use them as a base, so that my troops there will automatically disperse to my other buildings that need them, and so that I don't incur the expense of maintaining the Outpost. But it seems to take a while before the game will show the "Demolish" icon.
>Another question, I have built on an island which is quite big,
>as a result I am only using half of it, the other half I was planning
>on using for house construction, however I cannot build on it,
>when I try to, it blacks the area out and the building appears
>in red indicating it cannot be built (even though there is plenty of space).
>Do I need to colonise the other half of the island with another warehouse
>or is there something I am overlooking?
You must build a Market over toward that half of the island.
Each Market or Warehouse has an area it affects, and you cannot build anything outside these areas. Building Markets is inexpensive, allows expansion into new territory, and makes your economy run better. And they act as military buildings if you are attacked. So having lots of Markets is a good thing.
>I built a spice farm on a remote island and I never seem to gain spice
>in my main island settlement. I'm wondering how do I transfer spices
>from a remote island to satisfy the people in the main settlement?
>Maybe I am gaining spices, just not noticing them...
If your people are not complaining, maybe you are producing just enough for them to consume all you are producing. In any case, you want more than that, so build another spice farm. Note, however, that another possibility is that you are building the spice farm on an island that is not fertile for spice. Click on the spice farm and then look at the bottom number on the top screen--if the number is 50 or less, you're on a bad island to be growing spice. If it is 0, it means the farm will *never* produce *any* spice.

Government Tax Policy Slammed BY OECD
Government Tax Policy Slammed BY OECD
A new report, Economic Policy Reforms 2013, from the OECD highlights the low funding of business research and development in New Zealand. The report calls for the government to reinstate R&D tax credits. These tax credits were abolished by the National government because it was thought that there was scope for the misuse of the tax credits, and also because the government needed the funds from the tax credits to pay for income tax reductions and because of lower than expected Treasury forecasts.
Abolishing tax credits that incentivise desirable economic activity is like firing your sales people who earn the highest commission income (yes we have seen this done). Such actions reduce future income and send the wrong signals.
Issues around the misuse of R&D tax credits could be dealt with by tighter rules around the recharacterisation of expenses and by limiting the tax credits to new R&D spending.
Andersen Accountants believes that the
government should reinstate the credits without

Kevin Federline Admits To Drinking 24 Sodas A Day
Recent "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp" contestant Kevin Federline finally shared how he gained a person shortly after his divorce from Britney Spears, "I drank 12 to 24 cans of soda a day — not Diet. I didn't drink water, that was all I drank. That was my coffee, that was my candy, that was my everything. I hit 30 years old, I stopped dancing, started eating and sitting on the couch playing with the kids here and there. I got lazier and lazier, and fatter and fatter." [Now Magazine]
I'm so sick of hearing how little celebrities eat and as someone who occasionally eats an entire pizza alone, it seemed about time to see how celebrities binge!
- I envy Miley Cyrus' metabolism. The pop star has been known to Twitter about her binge eating, once tweeting, "Just ate BBQ chicken, 8 cali rolls, a frosty, and fries," which was after dumplings, corn dogs, sodas, and a cupcake. When Perez Hilton pestered her to chill out on the ice cream, she responded, "I'm still a kid. How do you make a kid shut up? ICE CREAM!" [Examiner] Zing! Now, if only we could figure out how to make Perez shut up!
- Marlon Brando was king of the binge eaters, for breakfast he would eat corn flakes, sausages, eggs, bananas and cream, and a huge stack of pancakes drenched in syrup. He would sometimes eat a 5-gallon tub of ice cream and made something he called "real-life Mounds bars" which consisted of a coconut cracked open and stirred up with sun-melted chocolate (swoon). Apparently, a favorite Brando snack was a pound of bacon shoved in a loaf of bread and when his girlfriends begged him to lose weight, he had friends throw him Burger King Whoppers over his gates. [Best Week Ever] Must find a coconut, asap.
- Obviously, Victoria Beckham has a very different idea of what constitutes binge-eating, but between extreme dieting with the Spice Girls, the posh one started binge eating occasionally and wrote in her autobiography that she sometimes ate 10 bowls of cereal at once. [EdReferral] Bah, unless it's Lucky Charms, I'm not impressed.
- I love how candid Kirstie Alley is about her food issues. Who else would go on the cover of People declaring, "Yes, I gained 83 pounds!" She told the tabloid, "My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter. A lot of butter. If I'm at the movies, usually I eat popcorn without butter, but I'd say, "I'm at the movies, so who cares?" And toast with butter. Or let's say I had two cups of pasta and six tablespoons of butter on it. There was a lot of butter going on." [People] I know how hard it is to put down the stick of butter, but it's good that Kirstie's getting her health back on track now.
- Eminem has put on some weight lately, an insider claims it's because "Marshall has Taco Bell lunches of burritos and tacos with dessert, then Outback dinners of three filet Mignon with all the fixings." And then the source got all personal about it, "He's got a double chin, a pot-belly and droopy man-breasts. And he's living a reclusive lifestyle in an attempt to hide his new body." [CeleBitchy] Sounds like he needs a new moniker since Slim Shady isn't working out.
- Photographers love to capture pictures of celebrities eating. Insider once claimed that Katherine Heigl ate all the sweets on the craft services table and caught her trying to smoosh an entire Hostess cupcake into her mouth and claimed that blog gossip was to blame for her manic binge-eating. [The Insider] Ironic, huh?
- Elvis wasn't about going half-way, he really went hog-wild with his diet. Apparently, the king ate
sexsix eggs, a pound of bacon, half a pound of sausage, and 12 buttermilk biscuits for breakfast. His lunch consisted of two "Fool's Gold" sandwiches, which consist of a jar of peanut butter, a jar of strawberry jam, and another pound of bacon on a baguette. Dinner might include five double hamburgers and deep-fried peanut butter banana sandwiches (which really are the best thing ever). [Its Deadlicious] Holy crap.

Make Your Voice Heard! Attend One Of My Ontario County Town Hall Meetings On February 4, 2012
Legislative column from Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R,I,C-Canandaigua)
January 13, 2012
Due to popular demand, I am once again hosting a series of Town Hall meetings so citizens can have the opportunity to let me know personally of their concerns. The feedback, views, opinions and insights received at these Town Hall meetings will shape the 2012 public policy agenda I will champion during the new Legislative Session. TOWN HALL MEETINGS: A TIME-HONORED AMERICAN WAY OF MAKING YOUR OPINIONS KNOWN! Town Hall meetings are as old as American democracy itself and have their direct roots right here in the Northeast. Town Halls are a model of self-governance where citizens can publicly raise important issues and take an active role in the affairs of, and learn more about, their government and the people serving in it. Town Hall meetings helped fan the earliest flames of liberty and independence so crucial in America's founding – and their importance carries on over 200 years later. SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, FOR MY ONTARIO COUNTY TOWN HALL MEETINGS The following is the schedule for my 2012 Town Hall meetings in Ontario County. I look forward to holding additional meetings in other parts of the district later this year, so be sure and stay tuned for regular updates. I encourage you to attend one or all of my Town Hall meetings and help spread the word with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Your opinion matters! ONTARIO COUNTY TOWN HALL MEETINGS: 10:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m., at the Gorham Town Hall, 4736 South Street, Gorham 10:45 a.m. – 11:15 a.m., at the Geneva Town Hall, 3750 County Road #6, Geneva 11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., at the Manchester Town Hall, 1272 County Road 7, Clifton Springs 12:30 p.m. – 1:00 p.m., at the Canandaigua Town Hall, 5440 Routes 5 & 20 West, Canandaigua SHARE YOUR VIEWS ON PRIVATE SECTOR JOB CREATION, RELIEF FROM ALBANY'S RULES, REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS, 2012-13 STATE BUDGET AND REFORMING GOVERNMENT This session, this year, I believe we need to continue working together to finish the people's business that includes the following agenda:
- Rebuild New York's economy, jump-start economic development and focus on growing private sector jobs right here in the Finger Lakes and all across New York;
- Deliver relief from unfunded mandates – all the ridiculous rules, regulations and requirements Albany imposes – for local governments, school districts and taxpayers;
- Reform and redesign New York's Medicaid program, which is the nation's costliest, to cut costs for local governments and reduce the property tax burden on homeowners;
- Institute a State spending cap, which will force Albany bureaucrats to balance the state's checkbook, just like you and I do every month;
- Deliver tax relief and cut bureaucratic red tape for job creators, so they can create new jobs and invest in New York's future;
- Ensure low-wealth and average-wealth school districts have the support they need to make sure ALL of our children receive a quality education;
- Invest in high-tech jobs and support research and development efforts so that our college graduates and young families can stay in New York;
- Hold the line: no new taxes, fees, surcharges or borrowing;
- Restructure and redesign government by consolidating State Agencies and delivering high-quality customer service to all taxpayers;
- Enact comprehensive pension reform; and
- Demand a new culture in Albany of transparency, openness and accountability.

It's been a while since I posted anything, I've been pretty busy… but I've recently been looking into other pentesting distros other than Kali, so thought I'd make a quick post.
It was only a couple years ago where I was primarily a windows user. At the time, I was into gaming, so windows was really the only option I had. At home, my desktop had to run Windows, not only because most game only run on Windows, but also that's what the family is used to. If I had to travel, my laptop running Windows 7 had to be handy so I can play StarCraft 2 or World of Warcraft in the hotel – I spent a lot of time gaming.
Switching to Backtrack
In an effort to break my gaming addictions, mid-2012, I decided to make the move to Linux. Not only that, but I decided that I would only use Backtrack. Yes, I know it's not the "safest" distro for general use, but my main goal at the time was to put all that time I would have spent gaming, towards the more practical use of learning how pentests are done – from the tools to the techniques. It was also around this time that I decided to sign up for Offensive Security's Pentesting with Backtrack course (amazing class by the way). So, with my 64-bit Backtrack laptop (64-bit not recommended for general use or PWB, but I like challenges), I managed to have lots of fun in the lab, and learned a lot about linux, pentesting, python, and C. It was totally worth the switch.
However, Backtrack is a pain. It took me hours to install, configure, and get everything I required on top of the default install configured so everything actually worked together. I actually wrote a procedure for a clean install, as I ended up doing this so many times (primarily due to paranoia). It included such things as setting up a non-root account (easy) to installing OCLHashcat (for the underpowered nVidia GPU in my laptop, to tinker with – this was a challenge to figure out). Once complete, it made for a decent general use laptop, considering my general use is not typical.
On to Kali Linux
Now (and for a while now), Kali Linux is here. Everything installed just works together without the need for troubleshooting. Since it's Debian based, it's simple to customize and add in other software, and chances are you won't break anything by doing so. The only con is that you still have to set up a non-root account, but that's not hard to do, so there's little reason to let that get in the way of giving it a try.
So far, every additional installations I've done have worked flawlessly – this list of installs include:
- VMWare Workstation
- Virtual Box
- Chromium (with Flash)
- Tor (why not)
- LibreOffice
- XChat IRC
- OCLHashCat (not used on my laptop, but installed anyway)
- Java SDK (disabled for browsing of course)
- 0 A.D. (linux game, not amazing, but helps with the addiction)
- and more
All of these were simple to install, especially compared to doing the same in BackTrack.
Kali is stable, familiar, and is not missing any tools I typically use (and if it is missing something, it's easy enough to install). I really don't have any complaints about Kali. It even has a disk encryption option during install (Backtrack didn't), which I of course choose, and I've seen no performance hit by doing so.
Looking Into Other Pentesting Distros
I really just starting looking around, not because I'm unhappy with Kali, but mainly just because I'm curious. I've downloaded Backbox linux and Pentoo to start with… from what I'm hearing, these seem to be the next popular distros. I don't have much to say yet, as I've really just started, but if I notice anything that makes me drop Kali and make a switch, I'll be sure to say something.
Until then, I just wanted to point out that Kali Linux is great at being a general use OS. Just make sure you setup a non-root user for added security, and it should be safe enough for general use.

If your tots never tire of mashed potatoes, consider swapping out the root for a vegetable. Simply steam or lightly boil cauliflower florets, then strain them and add a bit of milk or broth and a dab of butter. Use a hand-mixer to puree the ingredients and then salt and pepper them to taste before plating. This fiber and Vitamin C filled treat is so delicious your kids might not notice their staple has been replaced.
Join The Conversation
I first have mashed cauliflower at ruby tuesdays and loved it so much that i learned how to make it myself. so yummy!
Growing up, I was never a fan of cauliflower but I just made a soup and they're great! Popped in a blender, you don't even need butter to make it creamy.
My daughter LOVES mashed potatoes, I've started mixing in borccoli and cauliflower and she eats it likes it's going out of style! I've never done just cauliflower maybe I'll try that next time.
wow i am glad the comments are good about these, they sound awful to me but now i am going to make them because everyone says they are so good!
These are soooooo good; I make them all the time! Another way to make them tasty is to add about a 1/4 cup of low fat herb and garlic cream cheese. It makes them even creamier!
or a combination of the two they teach you this at Weight Watchers as a way to eat more veggies and lower the calorie content of a fan fav
OMG - mashed cauliflower is DELICIOUS!!!! Potatoes are very high in the glycemic index so we try to not eat them often at home,so we have substituded the mashed P for the mashed cauliflower they're always a huge success!!! I also like the texture better, though keep in mind I haven't been able to get cauliflour as creamy as mashed potatoes.

It took me the better part of a year from first moving to Spain to actually venture outside of the city. After all, I was young and the city really had everything that I needed.
It had food, my friends, things to do, work, everything I needed. But, about the second year of moving to Madrid, one of my coworkers asked me if I enjoy the outdoors, and I said of course! Who doesn't enjoy the great outdoors?
Little did I know, he was the real deal and much more serious that I was, but it turned out to be a good thing because I got to see a side of Spain that I never otherwise would have.
Hiking in Spain: A Survivor's Guide
Just as if you were to go camping anywhere, there are a few essential items that you need to bring with you anytime you go hiking in Spain and around the Madrid area generally.
Here is a short list of items to include in your bug out bag for your hiking trip. You can read more here for a fuller list of items to bring, but these are the general basics.
The first essential item is clean drinking or some kind of filtration system that will allow you to drink water as you find it. Even if you do have some kind of hiking h20 filter, you will still want to bring some with because you always run the risk of not finding any water. If you only have a water filter but don't find any water, the filter doesn't exactly do a lot of good does it?
My suggestion is to get a water bottle that has a water filter inside of it. This is the best of both worlds and will help you in most smaller hiking trips. You can fill the water bottle up before you leave you house and drink as you go. Then, as you find water on the trip you can continue to fill it up. This save you space in your backpack, because you need to carry everything that you bring on a hiking trip.
The second essential item in a real survivalist bug out bag is some kind of food supply. Now, most people get carried away with the food that they bring and end up bringing way more than you really need.
You don't need some expansive emergency food kit for a basic hiking trip. All you will need is a few granola bars or a package of trail mix. Actually trail mix is a great source of energy, it's tasty, which most emergency survival food isn't, and it's pretty cheap.
If you go to the local convenience store and buy a package of trail mix, that should be all you need for a 20-mile hike. If you are going longer than 20-miles, or if you are going on a route that you have never been on before, then you might want to bring a little more food, just to be safe. If not, that should be all you need.
Again, packing light is the key because if you load up your backpack full of stuff you aren't going to use or need, you are just losing energy faster than you otherwise would.
These are some of the tips my coworker showed me about hiking and surviving in the great outdoors in Madrid. I'll go over my hiking trips in a future post.

We're not expecting a lot out of the Chicago Auto Show today, but here's one model sure to quicken some pulses. Chrysler's Dodge is unveiling the SRT performance version of the Charger.
This is a significant model version, especially since gas-mileage concerns have largely had Detroit automakers in retreat when it comes to muscle-car performance. This SRT8 will have a whopping 465 horsepower from its 6.4-liter Hemi V-8. It will leap from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than 5 seconds with a top speed of about 165 mph. It will ride astride 20-inch five-spoke wheels. To save a little fuel, the engine will have a system that cuts off cylinders when they aren't needed for power.
No price yet, but Chrysler will have time to produce it. It doesn't arrive until next fall.

It's always been my downfall. I'm good for the day, but dinnertime is when I really pack it away. I've tried going for the veggies or the green leafies to fill me up, but that's not what I'm craving. I'm sticking to the PB pretty good, but my caloric intake is still too high. There's little chance of me shedding my couple extra fat pounds lingering on the hips until I remedy this issue. At 40, you'd think I would have learned by now how to control myself at dinnertime, lol. I am a bottomless pit with a hollow leg. Hormonal maybe? Any suggestions?

Some tactics I use:
�High protein breakfast (and I always eat breakfast)
�Making sure I'm getting enough fat in my diet (nothing is as satisfying)
�Staying hydrated (so thirst doesn't confuse your body into thinking it's hungry)
�Having a light snack while cooking dinner to take the edge off, so I don't eat dinner ravenous. I know it sounds wrong to eat before eating, but as long as it's a small snack I usually end up eating less food, not more.
�Starting dinner with a low calorie soup (volumetrics, basically)
�Limiting the options at dinner. Who says there has to be 3 (or more) types of food? What's wrong with 1 protein, 1 vegetable? It's been proven we will eat more if there are more options because we want to get full on each type of food.

I eat when I'm hungry. Sometimes I eat *a lot* in one sitting. Its not gluttony or bingeing if you happen to save up all your eating for one big meal.
You don't say how many calories you're consuming, what foods you're eating, what your eating patterns are for the rest of the day, etc.Sandra
*My obligatory intro
There are no cheat days. There are days when you eat primal and days you don't. As soon as you label a day a cheat day, you're on a diet. Don't be on a diet. ~~ Fernaldo
DAINTY CAN KISS MY PRIMAL BACKSIDE. ~~ Crabcakes
Take time to taste what you are eating. Take smaller bites and enjoy your food. I tend to eat a lot when I get in like race mode. I eat fast for no reason. I get mad at myself when I realized I've finished my food and hardly tasted it. Slow down so your body can tell you it's full before you've crammed a bunch of food in it. Eat the vegetables first and cook in a way you enjoy them.
Psychologically, I prefer to save as many calories as I can for dinner. It's a meal I share with my family, there's often some effort in preparing it and evening is often my only down time during the day. I started out consuming about 1/2 my calories at breakfast and lunch. Over time I pushed breakfast later and later (not counting 2T heavy cream in coffee when I first get up). Once it merged with lunch, lunch started taking up about 1/3 of my total calories. Now and then, on a special occasion, I'll have an early lunch (brunch) and that works OK for me. A big breakfast, followed by lunch and a plan to be frugal at dinner has never worked well for me.
You should experiment with what makes you feel best, both physically and emotionally. Be prepared to find that what works best may change over time.50yo, 5'3"

I am never hungry in the mornings. Like never. So actually eating breakfast is anti-intuitive and basically tortuous for me.
But I do have a morning coffee, with fiber supplement and half and half or cream as creamer.
One thing I tried that sounds crazy (from CW standpoint) is to have "bulletproof" coffee in the morning, which is, 1/2 - 3/4 of an entire stick of butter, blended (with a hand blender is easiest) into hot coffee. I didn't need to sweeten it either, as the fat of the butter cuts the acidity and any bitterness of the coffee, and it tasted fine. There are 800 calories in a whole stick, so 1/2 stick is 400 calories, a decent amount for a meal.
This big dose of fat in the morning, without me eating a meal which I don't like to do anyway, really suppressed my appetite for the rest of the day and kept me from binge-eating or having cravings all the rest of the day and being tempted by bad things at work. This may help keep you from over eating at dinnertime. And if not butter coffee, then try to get another big dose of fat in the morning to control cravings, and as it isn't carbs, there is no insulogenic high and crash to cause increased appetite later.Natural products super cheap @ iherb: Use discount code SEN850 at http://www.iherb.com/?rcode=sen850 for $10 off first order; free shipping $20+ order in USA

shangri-la diet.
there is a thread here about it, and it has reduced my appetite to the point where i cannot - simply cannot - put that many calories into myself anymore. and i used to eat way too much also!
good luck
I would say just stick to the foods that are more moderate in fat when you do eat your meats. Eat eggs, steak, chicken, fish, lean ham, etc., and as much of it as you want. Stay away from foods such as bacon, sausage, cheese, olive oil, coconut oil, etc.. Realize that you get all the fat you need from the eggs, fish, and steaks, so adding anything else can be just too much and unnecessary.
I also agree with the other ideas such as saving your meals until later. You can also try fasting if you have to.
Another option I have tried that works is inserting some very low calorie days. One way to make that easier is to go with extremely lean protein sources such as egg whites. As an example, a while carton of egg beaters is only 550 calories. Throw in some veggies and you're still easily well under 800 calories, if you can even finish it all; I actually have trouble with it. Think of it as similar to fasting, but without having to actually do a real fast.
One other thing I noticed is that fish is actually very filling and low in calories. And including some days where you'd have fish as your main dish and include a lot of non-starchy veggies, is a sure way to go low in calories while feeling stuffed. You also end up feeling A LOT better because the fat from the fish is so good for you.
The only way I learned to control portions was to get a nice scale with a tare feature. We got the one recommended by America's Test Kitchen and we use it all the time. I had no clue what constituted a normal portion before I started weighing. Then, if I stop weighing, my portion sizes slowly increase. Before I know it, I am eating 20-25% extra calories!
^^this! I started to weight my foods, especially the meats....it was like sticker shock, I did not realize that I was eating that much.�Life is a journey, not a destination.�

Iran deal stirs history for Obama, suspicion for foes
For US President Barack Obama, the interim deal to cap Iran's nuclear program is a belated down payment on the transformative foreign policy he always envisioned.world Updated: Nov 25, 2013 10:23 IST
For US President Barack Obama, the interim deal to cap Iran's nuclear program is a belated down payment on the transformative foreign policy he always envisioned.
That is one reason why his Republican foes are suspicious of the pact, viewing it as typical of a diplomatic doctrine rooted in weakness and an over eagerness to engage America's enemies at the expense of its friends.
The deal, forged after intense negotiations between Tehran and world powers, is the most serious breakthrough in more than 30 years of near hatred between Washington and Iran.
It means more to the president than a rare win in a grim political season: it represents hopes of validation for several core aspects of his political vision -- including the idea that America should talk to its enemies; that military force should be a true last resort; and that non proliferation should be at the center of US foreign policy.
If the Iran initiative evolves into understandings wider than the nuclear issue, it would offers an opening for Obama to transform his legacy as a statesman.
It also comes as the prime rationale of his domestic agenda -- the idea that an activist government is a force for good -- is being tested by the woeful debut of his health care law.
The Iran deal gestated far from the high-stakes talks at a plush hotel in Geneva. It was first hinted at during a 2007 Democratic presidential debate in South Carolina.
At that event Obama repudiated the Bush administration's 'axis of evil' talk, and shocked the foreign policy establishment by offering to engage US enemies, including Iran.
"The notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them . . . is ridiculous," Obama said, invoking US-Soviet talks led by presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
Obama, in his first inaugural address, offered a hand to US foes if they would "unclench" their fists, but failed to coax Iran into dialogue during his first term.
Until the election of the 'moderate' President Hassan Rouhani, this year, engaging the enemy bore little fruit, with the possible exception of the US-engineered opening of military-ruled Myanmar.
Obama aides argue that his foreign policy's successes include bringing US troops home from Iraq, and from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
But his legacy lacks the highlight that detente with Iran would enshrine, an accomplishment comparable to major presidential wins like Richard Nixon's 'opening' of China, or Ronald Reagan's ending of the Cold War.
Obama, who rose to power railing against a "dumb war" in Iraq, has made it an article of faith to avoid Middle East conflicts of unknowable consequences.
He was mocked for "leading from behind" in Libya, and for his 11th hour blink on striking Syria. He prefers the fearsome but arms length US drone war.
Any deal to end Iran's nuclear program, however imperfect, that avoids the US military action he insists he reserves the right to wage, would gel with his worldview.
"Military options are always messy," Obama said when asked about Iran last week.
"They're always difficult, always have unintended consequences, and in this situation are never complete in terms of making us certain that they don't then go out and pursue even more vigorously nuclear weapons in the future."
Political wags sometimes quip that Obama is finally earning the Nobel Peace Prize he was prematurely awarded in 2009. The punchline might be punctured if he conceives a long-term nuclear settlement with Iran.
But Obama's domestic foes are not convinced.
Many balk at the idea of talking with a nation that has flayed the United States for decades as an "evil empire."
Obama's diminished standing a year into his second term hardly helps.
"This administration is . . . very long on announcements but very short on follow through," Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Fox News Sunday.
For Mike Rogers, Republican chairman of the House Intelligence committee, Iran has received "a permission slip to continue enrichment -- that's the one thing the whole world was trying to stop them from doing," he told CNN.
Despite the antipathy on Capitol Hill, Obama can use executive power to fulfill the US part of offering a "modest" $7 billion in sanctions relief in return for Iran taking steps to halt progress in its nuclear program.
After administration lobbying, new sanctions to be debated in Congress in December will be timed to come into force in six months at the end of the interim deal, and if no final agreement is reached.
But Congress would have to lift sanctions under any final deal, and Obama faces a tough slog to convince lawmakers suspicious not only of Iran -- but of their own president.

Jim Marino says:
And while Larry Weiss seems to sniff at Gabriel Egan as a copyright violator, surely it should be acknowledged that the scope of what is "protected" by copyright has grown enormously in the recent past, and the domain protected by fair use has correspondingly shrunk, driven in almost every case by the agenda of deep-pocketed plaintiffs. Copyright piracy is not what it used to be; rather, it is now a great many more things than it used to be. That expansion of property rights has been defined by what one set of parties, the owners, decide to be reasonable. PIPA/SOPA would enforce those parties' opinions of their own deserts with the full power of the law. That, surely, is unreasonable.
This most assuredly is not the case. The scope of copyright protection (although not its duration) is the same it was when the current Act was adopted in 1976 and pretty much the same as it was under the prior law, enacted in 1909. As for restriction of fair use, I would appreciate citations to whatever cases supposedly support this notion. My impression is that cases like the U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, 510 U.S. 569 (1994), expands the doctrine.

Subject: Re: PIPA/SOPA
I agree that SHAKSPER would have some vulnerability to SOPA/PIPA attack because of the kinds of links Gabriel Egan mentions. Real vulnerability, however, would depend on the political activities of Hardy and SHAKSPER members. If, with a SOPA/PIPA law to arm it, there were a US Government perception that this website is of any political use to opponents of the security state and its so-called "war on terror", SHAKSPER would be history forthwith.
I might point out that things previously unthinkable are now commonplace in post-9/11 America. Maybe if SOPA/PIPA fails of passage the government will use another method with which it has already had such great success: the CIA tracks down the offenders and the president orders them killed.
Best to all,
Bob Projansky

Okay. Is it "okay" (safe) to leave outside surface unglazed and the inside surface glaze? Since it is stoneware and porcelain mixture i would think that it okay since it is vitrified (i did the vitrification test and it has >1%) and i thought the only purpose of glaze was to protect the decoration.
Glazed Inside
Posted 06 May 2014 - 05:22 AM
Posted 06 May 2014 - 06:20 AM
I don't think that is a problem, personally. The pots if fired to temperature should work without a glaze, but a glaze makes things easier to clean, feel better to the touch especially around the lips, and deepens the surface. However, if for aesthetic reasons you with to leave a surface unglazed as in the outside, go for it.
Oh and I did delete the second posting of this query.
Posted 06 May 2014 - 06:51 AM
Thanks for deleting it. Ill be sure to put the glaze over the lip to assure coverage (for the lips) i think its interesting to have to 2 textures, smooth interior and satin on the outside

You might try the "sharpie" test. Take a sharpie marker and draw on one of your culls, then see what it takes to remove those marks. Sometimes it's surprising how porous, non porous surfaces can be.

JERUSALEM (Aug. 13)
The machinery of the Labor-Likud coalition government was creaking again this week after angry comments by spokesmen for both wings of the coalition. The renewed tension stemmed from statements by Finance Minister Yitzhak Modai of Likud, and a response by Uzi Baram, secretary general of the Labor Party.
Last weekend Modai reportedly asserted that the coalition government would not complete its scheduled term. He reportedly also said that the Labor Party did not intend to honor the agreement to hand the premiership over to the Likud in mid-term.
Baram, in response, surprised Israelis by a confirmation of Modai's prediction. Baram said the current nature of relations between Labor and Likud could lead to a situation in which the Labor Party would not fulfill the coalition agreement.
"A few months ago, when I was asked, I said we would definitely honor the coalition agreement," Baram declared. "This was at a time when the government functioned normally. But now, when there is total political paralysis, when we cannot wait for a whole year without progress in the political sphere, the entire issue is doubtful."
He added: "Therefore, we shall have to decide whether we go ahead with the coalition agreement." Baram refused to comment on whether the Labor Party intended — should the agreement with Likud come apart — to call for early elections or to try to form a narrow-based coalition.
Absorption Minister Yaacov Tsur (Labor) also repeated Sunday his doubts about the durability of the coalition. He said there was considerable justification for early elections, rather than handing over the leadership to Likud. In an interview on the Voice of Israel Radio, Tsur said there was a lessening of the number of issues on which the coalition partners agreed, and no foundation for any political cooperation.
Likud MK Sarah Doron rejected the idea of any change in the agreement, asserting that early elections would jeopardize Israel's economic austerity plan and throw the economy into turmoil.

Billed to portray the flamboyant musician, the actor has also been watching a lot of tapes of Liberace for the biopic.
Cancer survivor Michael Douglas is set to undertake piano lessons in preparation for his role as flamboyant musician Liberace in a new biopic. The "Wall Street" star declared he was disease-free earlier this week, six months after he was diagnosed with a tumor in his throat.
Douglas admitted he would have to work hard to build up his strength before returning to Hollywood after dropping so much weight during his health crisis, but he's eager to return to work and start production on "Liberace", in which he will appear opposite Matt Damon. He said, "I lost a lot of muscle mass, so I'm going to work on that. I'm going to get my fingers ready for 'Liberace'."
And the actor's been busy researching for the role. He tells People magazine, "I've been watching a lot of tapes of him. He wasn't the greatest dancer nor the greatest singer, but he was a great pianist and entertainer."
The 66 year old reveals he will be taking lessons in how to tinkle the ivories to properly portray the late legend, but he's hesitant to show off his distinctive baritone voice and sing on film. He says, "We'll see how it goes."
