8941 Tasting Notes
This was another tea from yesterday – you'll have to wait for a proper review, but this has jasmine in it…and i still bought it. and it taste like NOT JASMINE, so that makes me happy…instead it's more strawberry caramel vanilla, hello! :) so nyah!
Final Count: 87
Backlog from last night. We got in and immediately were asked by friends to come over for an impromtu board game night…so needless to say we didn't get in until stupid early this morning, and of course i couldn't sleep in. What's made this worse is that I checked my tracking today for my butiki order and it says delivered – 6 days ago. But you know what i don't have? anything. Not to mention that it's not even "attempted delivery, here's a card, go get it at the post office…" it says full on delivered. Which means i have to pray it's at the post office, or there's a good chance i'm just SOL when it comes to having a final round of stacy teas at this point sigh
so annoyed. The last of this batch is going off to terri so that she can understand why this tea weirdly went up in my rating while zhu rong went down…all because of the different harvest lol however, there's another 4oz in my cupboard to crack open lol Hoe it's as delicious as this batch was
sooo upset. my post office has nothing so i don't know where it was delivered to..,.but it wasn't here :(
marzipan – puerto rico and dominion
ubacat – canada post is the suck, last time this happened they did nothing. i let stacy know since she generally has to be the one to open an investigation as the sender…dumb part is, it says delivered to east york… i live in north york…ugh.
Hope it works out. Tracking says delivered though…. Stacy confirmed address was right so I'm really hoping it's just CP being stupid and tracking things wrong.
Hopefully it just a case of misdirected post. This happened to me a few times. They send it to the wrong postal substation or on the wrong route and then it gets brought back to be resorted. Depending on what happened you might get it on Monday or within the week. Best of luck!
Oh I'm so mad when USPS shows its delivered but in fact it gets to me next day or even later. I hope package will show up soon
mazripan – i bought the anniversary version because we love the game so much…we've moved on to more challenging games since then but i still love the replayability factor of PR.
Boychik sent this one my way a while back, and these days i've been trying to get through those sorts of samples. I have so much puerh in my cupboard and it's sad when i don't get to take time to drink it. So I've made a promise to myself to continue to make time for myself for my puerh and start trying to take back my life from work :) I drank this over the course of the morning, while booking our vacation! a month to go and we get some serious relaxation time. Spent a little more than i wanted to, but after the year that i've had – i need it.
This is a bold, rich puerh. It's not for those who like wimpy teas. :) I love the colour of this tea…a deep red/burgandy like colour… was especially nice when i accidentally poured it all over the white floor haha.
Initial steepings of this were very woody, slightly leathery but with a bit of a sweetness to it? Later steeps the rougher edges that i didn't realise were there, smoothed out and there was a hint of a tobaccos like flavour coming through.
I have to head out to meet up with my other half but i may drink more of this later.. it's tasty! thanks boychik!!
I'm drinking it now, Sil. My hubby! Said its very tasty. Can you believe it? I love it too. I need to get a whole cake cause I have only a sample.
ok so THIS is what i wanted sleeping bear to be (minus the elderberries). I've had this one before via samples, but there's something to be said about a brand new unsealed package. This was good through several steeps this morning – i'll likely need to order more when this is finished up. :)
i hear ya… i don't notice it in this one as much as others… check the one from belloqc…i don't recall that one having mint.
My tasting notes are all out of order this morning and a little bit random. This is a tasty tea. I think my only complaint is that there's just a bit too many cloves going on. I really like the vanilla, malt and smoothness happening going on. i'll have to play with this one a bit more – maybe try it with milk and a bit of honey.
nom nom nom nom…this + honey + a waaaaaay too much alcohol in it drink = perfect evening lol. This is almost gone and that makes me sad, but i'm glad i only got a little bit while i was with Terri….means that i can order more teas soon! woot woot!
Final Count: 90
Figured i might as well hit up my two maple teas at the same time :) This one is close in sipdown range, so i'm going to force it and let another tea friend try this one out hahaha. I enjoyed this, but i'm still not convinced the popcorn had a place in this tea lol
Final verdict on this one after several cups of this, is that it's not the tea for me. The "nutty" factor in it, ruins what i like about it. It was a decent enough time while i had it, but i'm over it. :)
i think that this tea is the correct one. KallieBoo sent these my way a while back and i haven't yet had a chance to sit down with them. I've been drinking this over the afternoon while helping my other half feed the little one he's looking after. I am apparently better at making kiddo eat solids lol I don't have much to say about this one beyond it's feeling very middle of the road for me. It's not bad, it's not knock your socks off…it's just kind of there. being tea. neither FANTASTIC! or OMG GROSS… just there. Glad to have gotten the chance to try this, but nothing i need to restock. :)

HONG KONG/LONDON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Quirks in the way countries implement global pledges to toughen up financial rules may cause regulators to hit the wrong targets while failing to prevent another crisis.
Regulators, bankers and exchange heads told the Reuters Future Face of Finance Summit that new rules such as the Dodd-Frank reform of Wall Street will only be effective if they are matched globally.
A patchy rollout will also trigger regulatory arbitrage, sending money and talent flowing to the friendliest sectors, while putting firms in the strictest regimes at a disadvantage in the global capital markets.
"Dodd-Frank will really work if the rest of the world follows the bulk of what we do here," IntercontinentalExchange Inc (ICE.N) Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Sprecher said.
That is a tall order, despite efforts by the Group of 20 leading economies to coordinate their actions.
Differing political appetites for change mean that the United States is pushing ahead with a tougher line on reshaping trading rules, while Europe is pressing down harder on bonuses.
Asia, meanwhile, fared relatively well during the crisis and is enjoying the luxury of taking its time to decide how to implement change. As a result, it is likely to end up with a more buoyant financial sector backed by heady economic growth.
For banks, discrepancies equal alternative opportunities.
"I think the area in my mind that sticks out as probably the least regulatory is the Asia-Pacific region," said Chris McWilton, head of MasterCard Inc's (MA.N) U.S. markets. "It seems to be in that go-go cycle, and it seems to be very pro-business."
The quirks are another symptom of how economic power is shifting east and the United States -- and to a lesser extent the EU -- can no longer dictate the regulatory agenda.
"I don't think it's realistic to think that everybody is just going to uniformly adopt the same level and type of regulation that we have here," said CME Group Inc (CME.O) CEO Craig Donohue. "That's the biggest concern."
Bank bonuses are one area where regional differences are already hardwired in law, even though the G20 made the approval of a global approach one of its first priorities.
"This is an area where regulatory competition could be very damaging," said Andrea Enria, chairman of the European Banking Authority.
Europe has the world's toughest curbs on bonuses. The United States has stuck to the weaker G20 line, while Asia is bemused.
"The G20 agreement on remuneration was just words," said Angela Knight, CEO of the British Bankers' Association. "The U.S. is very broad brush, much less tight targets and clawback arrangements, and in the Far East they wonder what on earth the issue is all about."
Industry lobbyists say the variations may trigger top bankers to move into the so-called shadow banking sector of hedge funds and private equity, or decamp to another region.
On boosting bank capital, world leaders agreed in November on a set of far more detailed rules than they did on bonuses, but there are signs that countries are implementing this Basel III accord at different speeds.
Britain, Switzerland and the United States want banks to comply earlier than the Basel III start date. Germany and France want liquidity elements tweaked, while Asia, almost smugly, says it basically complies already.
The Basel rules are being phased in over several years from 2013 to roughly triple to 7 percent the minimum core capital a bank must hold to withstand shocks and leave taxpayers off the hook in the next crisis.
"I do worry about capital," said Federal Deposit Insurance Corp Chairman Sheila Bair. "There seems to be robust debate in Europe particularly about the wisdom of some of the Basel III agreement."
The ability of the United States to lecture has weakened, however. The nation played a key part in an earlier round of regulatory arbitrage by not applying Basel III's predecessor, which it argued would have weakened U.S. banks' capital cushions.
Derivatives are another area where nuances are emerging. The United States so far is taking a harder line than the EU on pushing these securities onto exchanges and clearinghouses, while Asia, again, watches from the sidelines.
"We are a little further along than other countries, and it will be very important for us to continue to stay very close so that we don't find that regulatory arbitrage becomes an issue again," said U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro.
Other industry sectors, like hedge funds in Hong Kong, want better coordination so they don't have to register with regulators at home and wherever else they operate.
"If I don't have the same symptoms, why am I eating the same medicine?," said Christophe Lee, a managing director of FrontPoint Partners and head of the Hong Kong chapter of the Alternative Investment Managers' Association.
Few truly believe regulatory arbitrage can be totally erased, whatever the actions of the G20 and its regulatory henchmen, the Financial Stability Board.
"It's almost inevitable that some of the outcomes won't quite be what was intended," said Martin Wheatley, CEO of Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission. "I think it's important to retain the flexibility (to) rein back or change structures as necessary."
Differences are almost a badge of honor for some lawmakers. "I don't desire one-world government," said Jeb Hensarling, a Republican vice chairman of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. "I would not embrace the idea that all regulatory arbitrage is bad."

This page collects the quotes I've given to various books, magazines, newspapers, and other media outlets.
"Technically Incorrect: Should Black People Play Pokémon GO?" - Black Enterprise - July 23, 2016
Should we be playing Pokémon Go in such times of crisis?
Yes, says Anjuan Simmons a software developer, speaker and author. "Yes, black people should play Pokémon Go. If we waited for peace and tranquility before we let ourselves experience fun little diversions, then we would never enjoy them," says Simmons.
"Also, Pokémon Go encourages physical activity and socially exploring the real world, which is a nice alternative to sitting on couches playing video games all summer."
"So, not only should black people play Pokémon Go, I think it is one of the best summer activities for black families." Simmons says his daughter is an avid Pokémon Go player.

"IT Career Advice: Tech Pros Reveal Secrets for Making a Grand Entrance into the Industry" - Rasmussen College - May 30, 2016
"While stellar certifications are wonderful, nothing can replace the ability to demonstrate the work you can actually produce," says Anjuan Simmons, project manager at Assemble Systems. Having projects to show potential employers will demonstrate your ability as well as your motivation and readiness."
Simmons recommends contributing to open source projects or using platforms like GitHub to publicly display your technology aptitude.
Simmons adds that a personal bio on your website is also an excellent opportunity to elaborate a bit more than you can on a resume.
Simmons advises aspiring IT pros to blog about your specific interests in the industry. This provides a platform for displaying thought leadership in your field and can help you connect with others in the industry.
"Pick one area of expertise and blog a lot about it," Simmons suggests. "I would rather see a series of blog posts about optimizing SQL database servers than a lot of posts about a variety of topics." This will help hiring managers see how your interests and specialties match up with their organization.
"How IT Businesses Can Manage Scope Creep & Change Control without a Corporate Budget" - Insureon - March 22, 2016
"There are three ways to manage scope creep regardless of the size of the company," says technologist Anjuan Simmons (@Anjuan; here's his website):
Simmons recommends an agile project management practice called Scrum, which has these considerations already built into it. With this technique, the development team of designers, programmers, testers (or just you, if you're flying solo) work in short, two-week sprints. At the end of each sprint, you should have something to deliver to the client.
"That's how you prevent scope creep," says Simmons. "Keep the development team focused on a defined scope of work that is very valuable and can be fully developed and that can be tested in a two-week period. High performing Scrum teams can release software faster than scope can creep."

"Adopting Agile Methodology: Tips for Success" - TestLodge - March 8, 2016
"Agile is not a one-sized-fits-all methodology that works for every situation. It is a framework that is meant to be flexible."
"Why an Agile Team Charter is Essential to Success" - Smart File - February 11, 2016
2) Team Culture Rules / Constitution
The team culture or constitution helps the agile team charter establish the handling of activities and how a team will ultimately collaborate and work together. At the heart of these culture rules is the Agile Manifesto's principles, which discusses project development processes through small innovations and team collaboration at a high level.
Anjuan Simmons, the Agile Project Manager at Assemble Systems and a Certified Scrum Master and owner of AnjuanSimmons.com, prefers to use a Code of Conduct and Constitution document instead of a charter because an agile team charter finds its roots in the waterfall methodology, an outdated method of project management. However, his Team Constitution fits nicely into our full charter with regards to culture:
The code of conduct or culture rules of your agile environment establishes how the team will communicate with one another. This is an important element to ensure each member is respected and their ideas are heard.
Here's Anjuan's Code of Conduct:
You'll also see some rules that discuss the frequency of meetings, attendance requirements and, if minutes are taken, when they'll be sent out.
Overall, the goal of your agile charter is to build an awesome product for your end-user that solves a problem by keeping your team focused. Everybody's agile charter is a little different, and some people, like Anjuan, choose to call it something completely different. Regardless, you need a foundation for your project team to ensure that everyone is moving in the same direction in a quick and respectful manner that solves the end-user's problem.

"5 Money-Saving Tips When Upgrading Your Phone" - U.S. News & World Report - December 10, 2015
"One mistake I've seen a lot of people make when upgrading to a new phone is forgetting that changing platforms often requires repurchasing apps," says Anjuan Simmons, an IT executive in The Woodlands, Texas, who is also a freelance writer and public speaker specializing in all things technology.
By platforms, Simmons is referring to your phone's operating system. Is it an iPhone or an Android?
So if you switch, for instance, from an iPhone to an Android, "any paid apps you've purchased from the Apple App Store will probably need to be purchased again from Google Play," he says, adding: "I call this the smartphone platform switch tax."

"2014 SXSW Interactive Session Spotlight: Star Trek UX|UI Rules for Phones, Tablets, and TVs" - SXSWi - February 5, 2014
With just weeks until the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival begins, the Session Spotlight blog is working hard to bring you information about the most interesting sessions and speakers in Austin this year. In this installment, we talk to Anjuan Simmons, a technologist who has implemented software solutions as an executive at Accenture, Deloitte, and Infosys. Simmons will bring his professional experience, as well as his love for Captain Kirk and the Starship Enterprise, to his session, "Star Trek UX|UI Rules for Phones, Tablets, and TVs." He has spoken at SXSW Interactive three times previously on topics ranging from comic book user interface lessons to increasing diversity in technology. Follow him on Twitter @anjuan where he discusses his passion for technology, politics, and culture.
SXSW: What will "Star Trek UX|UI Rules for Phones, Tablets, and TVs" cover?
Simmons: My session will cover the design lessons provided by the fictional Star Trek LCARS (Library Computer Access/Retrieval System) operating system. We'll discuss the smartphone user interface lessons of tricorders, the user experience rules for tablets offered by PADDs (Personal Access Display Devices), and how the main screen on the bridge of the Enterprise provides amazing insights into designing interfaces for big displays. My session will also share "second screen" lessons about how devices of different sizes should work together to create a user experience that is greater than the sum of its parts.
SXSW: What type of people will enjoy this panel?
Simmons: The people who will want to attend this session are professional user interface and user experience designers who are looking for a fresh paradigm for doing their work. Also, fans of the Star Trek series who want more examples of how Gene Roddenberry's fictional world continues to impact the real world. Roddenberry's legacy has already influenced the naming of the Enterprise space shuttle, the design of the iPad, and Scanadu, the real world tricorder. This session will show how every designer can learn from Star Trek!
SXSW: Why should registrants attend this session? What can they expect to gain from the panel?
Simmons: SXSW registrants should attend this session because it will present real world examples of how Star Trek has influenced user interface and user experience design. This session will also show how designers can take these Star Trek implementations to the next level and include them in their own work.
SXSW: What is your favorite aspect of SXSW Interactive?
Simmons: My favorite aspect of SXSW Interactive are the accidental interactions. Some of my closest friends and colleagues were people I met sitting in the chair next to me at a session or at an after hours parties. SXSW Interactive is a place where leading edge ideas are shared, but it is also a place where lifelong friendships are forged.
SXSW: What is your favorite memory from a past SXSW?
Simmons: My favorite memory from a past SXSW was hanging out on a rooftop bar in downtown Austin in 2012, with a mix of old and new friends listening to music, eating food, and talking late into the night.
SXSW: What's one thing that we wouldn't know about you based on your official bio?
Simmons: I have visited six of the seven continents, and I plan to visit my seventh (Antarctica) before I'm fifty.

37 Republicans voted for this bill. disgraceful.
Still want some facts to discuss the recission issue.
That right there is the next "Contract With America" initiative, but the GOP is either too stupid to recognize it or too obtuse (and complicit) to dare suggest it.
What a mess.
Is this post just emotional manipulation? I would really like some facts to present. Otherwise, I have been duped into playing the game from "our" side.
There are two ways to respond. One view is that these are cuts from prior legislation that granted money to the military. And the money was approved, regardless of whether or not it has been spent.
The second view is that Congress previously approved the military spending with no intention of every letting the military touch the money.
Your friend can use word games to make it look like nothing. But, either way you look at it, the budgeted money was shifted from the military to teachers.
NOTE The following text is a quote:
Home Briefing Room Speeches & Remarks
The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release August 10, 2010
Remarks by the President on Teacher Jobs
Rose Garden
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody. One of the biggest challenges of this recession has been its impact on state and local communities. With so many Americans unemployed or struggling to get by, states have been forced to balance their budgets with fewer tax dollars, which means that theyve got to cut critical services and lay off teachers and police officers and firefighters.
Its one thing for states to get their fiscal houses in order and tighten their belts like families across America — because families have been doing it, theres no reason that states cant do it, too. Thats a welcome thing. But we cant stand by and do nothing while pink slips are given to the men and women who educate our children or keep our communities safe. That doesnt make sense. And thats why a significant part of the economic plan that we passed last year provided relief for struggling states — relief that has already prevented hundreds of thousands of layoffs.
And thats why today were trying to pass a law that will save hundreds of thousands of additional jobs in the coming year. It will help states avoid laying off police officers, firefighters, nurses and first responders. And it will save the jobs of teachers like the ones who are standing with me today. If we do nothing, these educators wont be returning to the classroom this fall. And that wont just deprive them of a paycheck, it will deprive the children and parents who are counting on them to provide a decent education. It means that students in Illinois and West Virginia who count on Rachel and Shannon are going to be not getting the education that they deserve. It will deprive countless cities and towns of the law enforcement officials and first responders who risk their lives to keep us out of harms way. It will cost us jobs at a time when we need to be creating jobs. In other words, it will take us backwards at a time when we need to keep this country moving forward.
Now, this proposal is fully paid for, in part by closing tax loopholes that encourage corporations to ship American jobs overseas. So it will not add to our deficit. And the money will only go toward saving the jobs of teachers and other essential professionals.
It should not be a partisan issue. I heard the Republican Leader in the House say the other day that this is a special interest bill. And I suppose if Americas children and the safety of our communities are your special interests, then it is a special interest bill. But I think those interests are widely shared throughout this country — a challenge that affects parents, children and citizens in almost every community in America should not be a Democratic problem or a Republican problem. It is an American problem.
Im grateful that two Republicans joined Democrats to pass this proposal in the Senate last week. And Im equally grateful that Speaker Pelosi has called back the House of Representatives to a special session so that they can vote as well.
I urge members of both parties to come together and get this done so that I can sign this bill into law. I urge Congress to pass this proposal so that the outstanding teachers who are here today can go back to educating our children. America is watching and America is waiting for Washington to act. So lets show the nation that we can.
I want to thank Rachel as well as Shannon not only for being here today, but for the extraordinary work that theyre doing each and every day with special education children, with kindergarteners so theyre getting off to a right start. And I also want to thank Arne Duncan, who has been doing as much as anybody all across the country to try to emphasize how important it is to make sure that we are providing a first-class education to every single one of our children.
This bill helps us do that. And so its time for Democrats and Republicans to come together and get it done.
Thank you very much, everybody.

Phase 2 Study of Adjuvant Chemotherapy With Docetaxel, Capecitabine and Cisplatin in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer
Previous in phase II study of docetaxel, capecitabine and cisplatin,total 40 pts with
measurable disease, median 6 cycles of chemotherapy, there were 4 confirmed complete
responses (CRs) and 23 confirmed partial responses (PRs), with the overall response rate of
67.5% (95% confidence interval, 52.7 ~ 82.3) in intention-to-treat analysis. Ten patients
underwent surgical resection after 4 ~ 9 cycles of chemotherapy. Four pathologic CRs were
identified. With a median follow-up of 14 months (range, 1 to 28), median time to
progression was 7.7 months, and median overall survival was 16.9 months. The DXP
chemotherapy was highly active for the 1st-line chemotherapy of AGC (Kang et al, Proc Am Soc
Clin Oncol 22,328.2003).
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
This protocol will evaluate the possible benefit of adjuvant docetaxel, capecitabine, and cisplatin combination chemotherapy in patients with resected gastric cancer pathologic stage IIIB and IV in terms of relapse free survival.

We all experience fear in our lives. It comes in many forms and disguises. We will discuss the kind of fear that prevents us from moving forward and upward in our lives and evolution.
Fear is a tricky emotion for many reasons. It can serve as a warning not to proceed down a dark secluded alley, but that sort of fear is momentary and easily identified. You simply don't walk down that alley, or learn how to protect yourself if you do. Either way, you assess the situation and evaluate whether or not you have the necessary skills to handle the possibilities you anticipate.
The ones you don't anticipate you don't fear, because they have not entered your mind.
The kind of fear this meditation works with is the fear that prevents us from realizing our dreams. These are the "what ifs" that may or may not occur, but that if we allow our fears of them to prevail, can keep us from growing or from having the experience of a lifetime - the kind of fears that in the future may make us wonder "what might have been". This exercise will help you to look at the bigger picture from a detached position. It will assist you in finding the courage you need to move forward despite being afraid of disappointment.
This meditation will also connect you with your intuition. You may discover whether you have the tools and skills necessary to undertake a venture - and that maybe surprise you with the rewards that can come from going "out on a limb".
This meditation explores a multicolored fantasy realm that symbolizes the unpredictable surprises we find along our life journeys. Think of an area of your life that you want to explore, or an opportunity you would like to go for, but fears prevent you from taking the plunge.

All-Digital, 3D Animated Film Debuts September on DVDColumbia TriStar to release KAENA: THE PROPHECY (July 12, 2004)
A dying world. An evil force. A terrible secret. Prepare to enter a remarkable world filled with breathtaking imagery and action from the fantastic imagination of co-writer/director Chris Delaporte in the stunning CG-animated feature film KAENA: THE PROPHECY. Premiering on DVD September 7 from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment, this sci-fi/fantasy animated adventure features the vocal talents of Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man 2, Mona Lisa Smile), Academy Award-winner Anjelica Huston (Iron Jawed Angels, The Grifters) and Richard Harris (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Gladiator). The first European-produced 3D animated movie, this exciting import from France features exceptional, mind-blowing imagery that pushes the CG-animation envelope even farther than Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
On a distant planet, a gigantic coiling plant called Axis, stretches high above the clouds. At its center is a village whose people are in mortal danger because their �tree world� is withering...its sap is drying up. The people beg their gods for help, but to no avail. Compelled by a mysterious force, Kaena (Dunst), a rebellious, high-spirited teenage girl will defy the Grand Priest�s supreme authority and her people�s ancestral beliefs to take the perilous journey through Axis�s deepest roots to discover what dark secrets lie beyond the clouds. Along the path she meets the Selenites, a race led by a cruel Queen (Huston) that is also trying to keep the tree from dying, although by enslaving another race. Helped by a mysterious creature from another world, the frightening truth that Kaena will discover at the end of her quest will profoundly change her forever.
Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment will also release KAENA: THE PROPHECY in a variety of special DVD two-pack offers with additional popular animated titles including Kaena/Cowboy Bebop: Special Edition (priced at $48.95 SLP), Kaena/Final Fantasy (priced at $41.95 SLP) and Kaena/Metropolis (priced at $44.95 SLP).

Five Democratic candidates vying to become the city's next mayor began their first debate since former congressman Anthony Weiner's latest sexting scandal by arguing over his fitness to serve and criticizing outgoing independent Mayor Michael Bloomberg's legacy.
Tuesday's debate came with less than a month remaining until the Sept. 10 primary and on the heels of a new poll that found Public Advocate Bill de Blasio is the choice of 30 percent of likely Democratic voters, launching him to front-runner status.
De Blasio, the most liberal member of the Democrats and a vocal critic of Bloomberg, was polling at 15 percent in Quinnipiac's survey on July 24. He opened the debate by saying there was a tale of two cities in New York, and he pledged a tax on the city's superwealthy residents.
Weiner opened the debate acknowledging personal mistakes but arguing that his campaign wasn't about himself but about his candidacy to fight for middle-class residents.
The latest Quinnipiac University poll put Weiner at 10 percent, putting him in fourth place. He had been at 26 percent the late July poll, which was taken days after he revealed that he continued to trade sexually suggestive online messages with women after resigning from Congress in 2011 for similar behavior.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn was at 24 percent in the latest poll, and ex-comptroller Bill Thompson was at 22. Comptroller John Liu came in fifth, with 6 percent.
If no candidate reaches 40 percent in the primary, the top two will advance to a runoff.
Two more televised debates are planned.

In a somewhat surprising move, Swift Current Broncos defenceman Ian White has been left off the Canadian roster for the upcoming world junior hockey championship.
White, who helped Canada win a silver medal at the 2003 world junior hockey championship in Halifax, was coming off an ankle injury when he arrived last week at selection camp in Kitchener, Ont.
The 2002 Toronto Maple Leafs' draft pick was unable to practice with the other players or play in intrasquad or exhibition games.
London Knights forward Corey Perry, who is second in Ontario Hockey League scoring with 54 points in 29 games, also was among the final six cuts announced Tuesday morning.
Moose Jaw Warriors forward Kyle Brodziak, Calgary Hitmen defenceman Mike Egener and goalies Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens and Cam Ward of the Red Deer Rebels were the others.
The decision to release White by Canadian head coach Mario Durocher means Canada will have just two returning players from the 2003 squad. Forward Dan Paille, who has been named team captain, and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins are the other veterans.
Durocher decided the 19-year-old White would not be ready to play for Canada when it opens the tournament on Dec. 26 in Finland.
"I think I could be ready, but that's the decision I have to live by and that's fine with me," White said. "I came in here being prepared to be sent home.
"I'll just take it in stride and have myself a merry Christmas."
White fractured his left ankle playing for the Broncos on Oct. 21. His cast was removed a week before the junior team's selection camp opened.
Ward and Drouin-Deslauriers, both 19, were released from the Canadian team for the second straight year as Durocher opted to take Josh Harding of the Regina Pats as a backup to Fleury.
Ward had struggled in an exhibition game against a team of university all-stars against the Canadian players.
"I felt like I was put in front of a streamroller and couldn't really get out of the way," he said.
Forwards Maxime Talbot of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Gatineau Olympiques and Tim Brent of the OHL's Toronto St. Michael's Majors were named alternate captains.
Team Canada plays host Finland on Boxing Day.

Lessons from the History of Independent System Operators in the Energy Sector, with applications to the Water Sector
This paper examines the lessons from independent transmission system operators in energy in the context of the potential introduction of an independent system operator in the water sector. A key lesson from the energy sector is that there is a basic choice between having an independent system operator (ISO) and an independent transmission system operator (ITSO) covering two or more existing company areas. ISOs do not own any wires or pipes, ITSOs do own wires or pipes. We begin by examining the nature of system operation arrangements in different countries, focussing on different ways that non-discriminatory access to monopoly transmission assets can be facilitated. We go on to discuss the particular functions of the ISO, focussing on the US, with regard to controlling the system and operating the power markets. We also detail the costs of system operation. Next, we focus on incentive issues and the governance of ISOs around the world. We outline an ideal model for an electricity system operator and examine the extent to which systems in the US and UK conform to the ideal. We also explore the issue of pricing access to the system and how system operation costs are paid for. Then, we look at the evolving role of system operators and how they might be evaluated. Finally we apply the learning from system operation in energy across to the UK water sector and offer some interim conclusions.

Some Los Angeles Tours Begin at the Cruise Ship Terminal
We serve guests arriving in the port on cruise ships throughout the year. Sometimes Los Angeles is their destination and other times it is simply a layover. Picking up our private tour guests up in the Port of Long Beach or in San Pedro means a lovely drive along the beautiful southern California coastline up to Marina del Rey. The excellent photograph above was taken just north of San Pedro and captures the beautiful Pt. Fermin Lighthouse with Catalina Island in the background. Further along the coast road we pass the Trump National Golf Club and the Terranea Resort before getting to the Pacific Coast Highway and the wonderful beach communities of Redondo, Hermosa and Manhattan. It is a breathtaking drive and perfect for cruise ship passengers just getting their land legs back. By the time we get to Hollywood and Beverly Hills everyone is ready for an adventure in movie history and a chance to see where the stars live and work.

Fall of an Arrow
On February 20, 1959, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker announced to the House of Commons the cancellation of the CF-105 Arrow. Its development costs to that time were $340 million. The Arrow was to be the world s unsurpassed interceptor aircraft. Yet within two months of the Prime Minister s announcement, six completed aircraft were dismantled and all papers and documents associated with the project were destroyed.
Here is the history and development of the Arrow - the plane that would make Canada the leader in supersonic flight technology. The Arrow was designed to fly at twice the speed of sound and carry the most advanced missile weapons system.
Here are the stories of the men and women who were in the vanguard of the new technology - who had come from England, Poland, and the United States to make aviation history.

Tracks Into Time
Settling into the sea,
the sun darkens the water;
shadows the rocks.
Around the bend
upon the ledge,
Ghost train appears,
chuffing clouds that blend to sky.
Surf crashes,
batters rock;
The train fades
to imagination.
And the whistle blows
an eerie silent chord,
In tribute to
a memory that never was.

Erik Gunnar Asplund
September 22
Born on this day in 1885, Asplund's early projects such as the 1927 Stockholm Municipal Library, became icons of Scandinavian neoclassicism. His later works however, were marked by a restrained monumentality that echoed a new modernism. His Stockholm Crematorium constructed in 1940, is perhaps the finest example of monumental religious architecture of the 20th century.

Malignant Hyperthermia News
Stay Safe When Temperatures Rise
Posted 31 Jul 2015 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, July 31, 2015 – Extremely hot weather can be deadly if you don't take the proper precautions, an expert warns. There were 123 heat-related deaths in the United States in 2014, according to the National Weather Service. "People suffer heat-related illnesses when their bodies are unable to compensate and properly cool themselves," Dr. Richard Schwartz, chair of emergency medicine at Georgia Regents University in Augusta, said in a university news release. Signs that the heat is getting to be too much include: weakness; heavy sweating; nausea; giddiness; dizziness; collapse; fatigue; and cool, clammy, red or flushed skin, according to Schwartz. If you experience these symptoms, move into an air-conditioned area, rest and drink cool beverages, he recommended. But, there are ways to prevent heat illness from occurring, he added.

Health Tip: Keep Your Cool During Summer
Posted 12 Jun 2015 by Drugs.com
-- Elderly people and children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of the heat. But a few precautions can help them enjoy a safe, cool summer. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests: Children, infants and pets should never be left in a parked car, even if the windows are open. Wear lightly-colored, lightweight, loosely-fitting clothing to keep cool and comfortable. Plan outdoor activities for the coolest times of day, such as morning or evening. Take a cool shower or bath. Always use sunscreen. Seek immediate medical care if there are any signs of heat-related illness. Read more

Pain Relief Often Delayed for Cancer Patients
Posted 16 Mar 2010 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, March 16 – Palliative care services, which help people who are seriously ill relieve symptoms such as pain, are now found at most U.S. cancer centers, but many programs don't interact with patients until it's too late, study findings show. Dr. David Hui, of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, and his colleagues surveyed 71 U.S. National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers and randomly surveyed 71 other cancer centers. They received responses from 71 percent of 142 executives and 82 percent of 120 program leaders. The researchers also found that the NCI cancer centers were more likely to have palliative care programs and physicians. A report on the survey was published in the March 17 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Palliative care outpatient clinics, inpatient consultation teams, palliative care units and hospices ... Read more

U.S. Cancer Cases, Deaths Continue to Drop
Posted 8 Dec 2009 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Dec. 7 – Better screening, healthier living and new treatments have all continued to help cut the annual number of cancer cases and deaths in the United States, a new report says. The findings showed that new cancer cases and deaths from cancer have declined significantly for both men and women and for most racial/ethnic populations. These decreases were largely due to decreased incidence and death from lung, prostate and colon cancer among men and a drop in two of the three leading cancers in women (breast and colon cancers). New diagnoses for all types of cancer in the United States declined almost 1 percent per year from 1999 to 2006 and cancer deaths dropped 1.6 percent per year from 2001 to 2006. The report, which appears in the Dec. 7 online edition of Cancer, was compiled from data by the American Cancer Society, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the ... Read more

There is no doubt that America is in the midst of a spiritual crisis. Millions of people are trying to find meaning in their lives by returning to old-time religions, or by seeking out new cults, fads, channelers, 12-step programs, and self-help books. Bill Moyers has called this search for spirituality "the biggest story not only of the decade but of the century." Now, Sam Keen, the New York Times bestselling author of Fire in the Belly, addresses this crisis and provides a blueprint for bringing spirituality into everyday life in Hymns to an Unknown God: Awakening the Spirit in Everyday Life.
Using practical examples from his and other people's lives, Keen tells readers how to cut through what he calls the "spiritual bullshit," and recover the sacred in their love affairs, families, jobs, and politics in short, how to recover the "Unknown God." Down-to-earth and articulate, Sam Keen is a popular social commentator, philosopher, and teacher. He describes himself as "overeducated at the Ivies," with degrees from Harvard and Princeton. His work has been featured in a special Bill Moyers PBS interview, and for over twenty years he was a consulting editor at Psychology Today.
How to Use Your Spiritual Bullshit Detector: In a world of one-minute solutions, false spiritual leaders, and instant spirituality, how can you tell which beliefs are valid and separate the bogus from the genuine.
Sex and the Spirit: Why is it that sex and spirituality are so interconnected and confusing? Keen explains the conflict between "I want" and"I should," and tells readers how to integrate sensuality, sexuality and spirituality to experience truly deep and loving relationships.
Consecrating Our Days: Rituals for Living: Keen gives more than a dozen suggestions for personal rituals to remind readers of the sacredness in their everyday lives, including creating a private place as a personal sanctuary, learning to make time to think deeply, setting aside personal days as times of celebration, and more.
Defining the quest to unlock spirituality as ``the reverse of the religious pilgrimage,'' bestselling author Sam Keen ( Fire in the Belly ) nonetheless sets out immediately to blend Eastern and Western religious traditions with philosophy, psychology and autobiography. The result is a New Age-ish ``now-and-then spiritual journey'' whose indirect path may result in confusion for questers seeking less amorphous guidance. Ambiguity is implicit even in Keen's naming of the unknown god--``some missing value, some absent purpose, some new meaning, some presence of the sacred''; and Keen sees a constant questioning of religious authority as essential to spiritual transcendence. ``A soulful life,'' Keen posits, ``is more about getting rhythm and tuning into the music of the spheres than it is about getting the words correct.'' To further aid this quest in an era emerging from the 20th century's frayed ``technological-economic myth of progress,'' the author offers a ``spiritual bull-shit detector'' as well as rituals for consecrating sex and work, family and other relationships, local communities and the global environment.

WEBCAST | Ethics in Intellectual Property: A Brief Overview of Conflicts on Steroids and Export Controls
Navigating the Rules to avoid conflicts often feels like a journey into the Art of Turning Away Business and Losing Friends. Who is a current client? What is direct adversity, material adversity, and a material limitation? Can you be adverse to a corporate parent or sister? Will an ethical screen save you, or how about an advance waiver? Does this all feel like this whole system was thrust upon you and you are having to hold a hot potato? And oh, by the way, what again is the prison term for having my non-citizen staff or associate help me with export-controlled technology? All in an hour of light and enjoyable conversation.

It's all in the title
You are going to need either a kreon drive , or you can flash ixtreme0800 to a spare xbox360 drive , eg benq, sammy .
The 0800 firmware can be found at xbins and you use dosflash to flash it to the drive.
Please remember this needs to be a spare drive that you hook up just to rip games though.
I was lost at ixtreme. I don't have a PC anyway only laptop, If not could I get sata to usb or somthing?
A kreon drive is an internal pc drive, but with some cables like USB to SATA/IDE Cable With Power Adapter then i would say its possible to do on a laptop.
So say I bought a benq drive from James for example what would I need to do then?
You have a CK3 kit ? If you can hook a 360 drive to your lappy then you need to dosflash ixtreme 0800 to that drive .
your best bet is a pc you ll never go wrong it ll rip a game for u using iextreme 0800 :thumbsup: and ck3 :dribble:
The only thing that pisses me off about my pc is that I only use it for flashing and I have to disable the sata drivers and then if i wanna rip a game enable them again I wish I knew of a quick workaround that would not ruin jungle flasher if I wanna rip wid my spare sammy

text: Water Island Capital LLC, an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, agreed to pay a fine of US $50,000 for holding certain customer funds with broker-dealers and not with a custodial bank, among other violations of law. According to the SEC, Water Island currently manages approximately US $3.5 billion in assets for several mutual funds, including mutual funds commonly known as "alternative mutual funds" (these are mutual funds for which Water Island trades equities and derivatives, including swaps, as part of a merger arbitrage). Under law, if a mutual fund maintains securities and similar investments in the custody of a qualified bank, the cash proceeds from the sale of such securities and investments, as well as other cash assets must likewise be held in the custody of such bank. Although Water Island's compliance procedures incorporated this requirement in 2012, the SEC claimed that the firm did not maintain certain customer assets with such a bank, as required, from January to September 2012. These assets included approximately $247 million in cash collateral that were held instead with broker-dealers, according to the SEC. In accepting Water Island's settlement, the SEC "considered remedial acts promptly undertaken by Respondent and cooperation afforded the Commission staff."
