Days of Bhangra Producers Lives: Where Skillz Inc Has it His Way
Seems like most Bhangra Producers are on twitter these days. With tweets ranging from album updates, what they're doing to pass time, or how good they are at cooking, twitter is a little telescope into their day to day life. However every now and then, they may also paint an even more interesting picture of what is running through their mind. This feature helps you chew on what is happening in Bhangra Producers lives.

The new documentary Somm makes it clear that Master Sommeliers are more than just dedicated to their profession. They are obsessed.
Somm, which premiered as the 2nd Annual Napa Valley Film Festival's opening screening Nov. 7, follows four sommeliers as they study for and take the M.S. exam, then learn the results. Director Jason Wise focuses on the chemistry between the four friends—the overtly funny Brian McClintic, the subtly funny Dustin Wilson, the confident and stylish DLynn Proctor and the driven Ian Cauble, nicknamed "Dad"—as they go through the grueling exam preparation together.
Fewer than 200 people in the world have ever earned the title Master Sommelier, which requires passing a final exam with three parts: wine service, theory and blind tasting. The focus of the movie is on test preparation, up to and including game day, but cameras were not permitted inside during the actual test. We watch as the candidates trace maps, attempt to memorize obscure grapes and regions and participate in blind tasting after blind tasting to sharpen their skills. In this all-consuming pursuit, there are late nights, neglected wives and girlfriends, multitasking by studying note cards while on a treadmill, and spit buckets everywhere.
Humor isn't lost in the observation of the group's obsessive pursuit. At one point, a mentor suggests to the candidates just a few days before the exam that they should relax—go see a movie, or get a massage. From the horrified looks on their faces, it's apparent that they will do no such thing. Another candidate consults a doctor, requesting a steroid to make certain his nose is clear for the blind tasting. In another funny sequence, some of the more obscure wine descriptors are discussed, from cat pee to a can of freshly opened tennis balls.
The sommeliers' blind tasting methodology is fascinating—they rattle off dozens of descriptors for a wine before most of us would have finished our first sip—but Wise lingers perhaps too long on tasting and rote memorization. Only an all-too-brief single scene features the service aspect of the test, despite that for most viewers, restaurant service is the primary form of interaction with a sommelier. (Also, in selecting four male candidates as his subjects, Wise limits women to the role of significant others, though there are 18 American female Master Sommeliers and about a quarter of current MS candidates are women.)
With its universal themes of camaraderie and dedication, the movie holds appeal even for those who aren't wine lovers. At moments, the candidates speak with a fervor usually reserved for politics or sports, not whether a wine's structure and flavor profile are more typical of an Albariño or an Alsatian white.

Harvey Steiman — San Francisco, CA — November 9, 2012 5:11pm ET
In the real world, women are assuming the roles of sommeliers. Seems out of touch for a documentary to ignore that sea change.
Geoff Kruth — California — November 9, 2012 9:12pm ET
Regarding the comment on women as sommeliers, I saw the film at the premiere and it follows four real-life friends - one of whom happens to be African-American
There is some wonderful commentary by fellow female Masters candidates and Master Sommelier Emily Wines.
I don't think the film is trying to represent the entire industry; it is the story of four good friends pursuing the same goal.
Dave — Idaho — November 10, 2012 1:23am ET
Exactly Geoff! How about watching the movie first before you comment Harvey!
Yuki Saito — San Francisco, CA, USA — November 11, 2012 1:33pm ET
I was fortunate enough to see the movie on 7th which was exactly what I expected. Intense, funny and heart-breaking!
As for limited exposure of women in the trade, I understand the sentiment/resentment (I am one of the minorities. And yet I thought the movie honestly reflected the current industry of sommeliers (predominantly male though women are breaking in for sure).
The movie is a documentary and it should reflect the reality unless the theme is about "equal opportunity of gender" etc.
On the other hand, I would love to see a movie "sommeliere (lady sommelier)" which, I am sure, will expose a different type of struggle in addition to the usual ones. Anyone interested?
David Crowther — Tuscaloosa, AL USA — November 12, 2012 11:04am ET
No offense but I'm a little tired of people over analyzing the political correctness of everything. Maybe the only people available to the director were men.
I very much would like to see the film.
Marlene Rossman — Newport Beach California — November 12, 2012 8:02pm ET
I have not seen the film so I have no horse in this race. However, as a sommeliere (1999-2002) in one of the most difficult markets-New York, I must admit I had my challenges. Suffice it to say that there were patrons who insisted that a woman can't possibly be a somm and asked for the "guy." Others male patrons were delighted to have a female somm and I suspect they felt they did not have to "show" their wine knowledge.
When I left New York and became a somm in Laguna Beach (2003-2006) it was very different. Different more progressive coast/ more recent time frame both had to do with the easy acceptance I found here.

Business ID Theft Is On The Rise
Sunday, February 24th, 2013Business identity theft (also known as corporate or commercial identity theft) is on the rise. The damage can be devastating to the victim's business and their reputation.
Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona is sharing these tips on preventing and detecting business identity theft:
- Protect Your Business Records and Information- Business ID theft occurs the same as personal ID theft. If you are communicating or doing business online you are putting yourself at risk, but the majority of id theft occurs offline. Thieves obtain wallets, intercept or reroute mail, and rummage through your trash to gain sensitive information. Therefore, it is important to maintain only those records that are necessary to run or operate your business and to shred those records that are not necessary. Any documents or records you need to keep to run your business should be maintained in a secure location.
- Protect Your Business Online- Do not share financial documents, sensitive personal information or account numbers via e-mail or other Web-based services. If you must provide this sensitive information over a website, ensure that the site is secure. A secure website is indicated with "https" in the websites url.
- Monitor Activity- The best method to detect possible ID theft is to monitor activity around your business. Check your business's credit report frequently. Sign up for e-mail alerts for your accounts. If an unexpected bill or account shows up or a regular bill doesn't arrive, contact the billing company. Also, pay attention to contact from consumers. If consumers report to you that they have received communication that does not sound like it came from your business, check it out and try to obtain the correspondence they have received.
If your business has fallen victim to identity theft BBB offers these tips:
- Report Theft Immediately- Don't waste any time, as soon as you feel you have fallen victim contact your bank and credit providers. Report any issue to the credit reporting agencies Dun & Bradstreet, Equifax, Experian, and Transunion. Speak to the fraud department at each bureau and put a "fraud alert" on your file that will prompt creditors to contact you before they open accounts in your name.
- File a Report with Local Law Enforcement- contact the non emergency department of your local law enforcement and arrange to file a report with them. Ask for advice on escalating issues with State or Federal officials if the need is there.
- Document Everything- Resolving the problems caused by ID theft is a time-consuming process that requires patience and focus. Take notes about conversations, ask for names, department names, phone extensions, and record dates. Follow up with either a phone call or a letter of confirmation to all creditors and credit reporting agencies.
- Protect Your Customers- make sure the personal and sensitive information of your customers is protected, and contact them if you feel this information has been compromised.
- Contact the BBB- Contact your local BBB and let them know what the situation is so they can issue an alert on your Business Review. The BBB can inform consumers that your ID has been compromised.

Today GPUs have two levels of parallelism. They are a set of SMID processors that use SPMD parallelism between them. In NVidia GPUs, for example, the stream multiprocessor has only on instruction decoder and all eight stream processors execute instructions issued by decoder in SMID. The parallelism between stream multiprocessors is SPMD, sharing data through global memory. As common GPU workloads are very regular, this saves the area of seven decoder units. In ATI GPUs it's almost the same, but the stream multiprocessor is called SMID core and has 16 stream processors. 2008/8/23 Mikhail Kuzminsky <kus at free.net> > BTW, why GPGPUs are considered as vector systems ? > Taking into account that GPGPUs contain many (equal) execution units, > I think it might be not SIMD, but SPMD model.

Antonin Gregory Scalia (pronounced /skəˈliːə/ ( listen); born March 11, 1936) is an American jurist who serves as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. As the longest-serving justice on the Court, Scalia is the Senior Associate Justice. Appointed to the Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, Scalia has been described as the intellectual anchor of the Court's conservative wing.
Scalia was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and attended public grade school and Catholic high school in New York City, where his family had moved. He attended Georgetown University as an undergraduate, and obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree from Harvard Law School. After spending six years in a Cleveland law firm, he became a law school professor. In the early 1970s, he served in the Nixon and Ford administrations, first at minor administrative agencies, and then as an assistant attorney general. He spent most of the Carter years teaching at the University of Chicago, where he became one of the first faculty advisers of the fledgling Federalist Society. In 1982, he was appointed as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by President Ronald Reagan.
In 1986, Scalia was appointed by Reagan to the Supreme Court to fill the associate justice seat vacated when Justice William Rehnquist was elevated to Chief Justice. Whereas Rehnquist's confirmation was contentious, Scalia was asked few difficult questions by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and faced no opposition. Scalia was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, and took his seat on September 26, 1986.

I like ramen. Ramen is a reminder of the good moments I had at home with my family.
When I was young my grandmother used to take care of me and she would cook ramen. It was Top Ramen, but the noodles were soaked in the salty broth. They were thick, soft, and tasty. When she left for Taiwan, and eventually died, that was the only thing I remembered about her. My dad showed me how to make ramen with ground beef after I went to college. Just dump a pound of ground beef in a pan and use a spatula to dice it up into small pieces. Put some green onions in with it and take a couple of spoonfuls and put it in with the ramen and the stow the rest for later. When we would have hot pot at our house the leftover hodge-podge broth would be dumped into a pot and made into ramen broth the next day. If we had duck for dinner the heart, liver, neck, and left over meat would be used in the ramen pot for lunch. Good times and good eats.
In college, ramen was el cheapo. Sometimes if I was lucky Market 32 would have ramen on sale — ten for a buck. I stocked up. I bought ground beef to be diced up and yeah, sometimes, I would have ramen every night of the week. When you're in college that's what you gotta do. I got the ramen to the point where it reminded me of how my grandmother cooked it up. But afte a year of eating the same thing, I found msyelf staring into a bowl of gloppy noodles and thinking to myself, "this tastes like shit." I overdosed on it and started eating out or finding other things to try and cook with little to moderate success — I would consider myself a terrible cook, even to this day, and yet I cook well enough for myself that I haven't died from starvation yet.
NorCal has a few good ramen restaurants. There's Himawari on 2nd Street in San Mateo. Santa Ramen. There's a place down in Mountain View which I forget the name of. It's all good.
It really wasn't until I was watching Galaxy Express 999 that I realized I really miss eating ramen. Hoshino Tetsuro eats it in bowlfuls. Old men that run ramen shops on distant worlds give him as much as he wants because he's the poster child for youth and ambition and he's fueled by noodles. Watching that anime made me crave eating the stuff again but I decided if I was going to have ramen, i was going to "age it up" and make it a little more of a fulfilling meal. I tried with modern success — it was still the same old college meal.
Japan is where the real deal is. I've had the good stuff there. I dare say even the airport's ramen was good. I watched the lady at the food stand make it. They don't get their broth from some little brown powder packet. She had a clear plastic bag of broth. She had a small basket of noodles and dunked it into boiling water. Microwaved the broth packet and put the whole thing together in a bowl. What a brilliant idea. No wonder even that's better than the shit they pass off as ramen over here. When I got home a friend got me some Sapporo Ichiban ramen. I love the stuff. It's a step up from Top Ramen, but seriously, when I say step up it's like paying a dollar compared to a dime. For a poor college student this is as close as you would get to gourmet. I tried to eat the Ichiban ramen but it tasted like a nasty mouthful of salt and that was sad because I loved it so much before I went to Japan. That's when I started researching how to make my own ramen broth. I wanted to go beyond Top Ramen and Ichiban. Making broth would take anywhere from 20 minutes to 60 hours for Tonkatsu. I'm not ready to invest 60 hours into simmering pork bones. I have yet to try the 20 minute broth, and I would, but then I found this:
It comes from the Marina asian supermarket in Foster City. In one of those packages you get this:
You get a bag of uncooked noodles and a small liquid package (in this case soy sauce). This might be a decent compromise and I've had the Miso flavor and soy flavor. It's a step up from the brick ramen. I bought some naruto when I was there as something else to put in the bowl. I boiled up some eggs and dumped some veggies in to cook up and put the noodles in and this is what came out:
That's not bad looking if I do say so myself. It wasn't bad tasting either. It's not Japan. It's not Top Ramen. I didn't have to cook broth for 20 minutes or 60 hours. I'd say, for me, for right now, I'm content with this compromise.

My World Garden : A child's introduction to gardening and plant life, to conservation and the management of natural resources. The gardens proposed are real gardens that provide an introduction to productive gardening, but on a small scale, requiring a minimum of resources and upkeep, suitable for patio, balcony or school playground. My World Garden provides a thematic introduction to history and geography via the long interactions between man and plants around the world. The plants tell their story and find a place in 'My World Garden' via the packets of seeds of the four basic cereals of four great civilizations: wheat (Europe), maize (America), rice (Asia) and sorghum (Africa); and a board game where each player searches for plants all over the world and discovers the world's major climate zones. This box contains: A 100-page booklet recounting the adventures of humans and plants around the world, including the birth of the various vegetable kingdoms, major discoveries and the secret journeys of plants; A 36-page activity booklet 'Let's Create the World Garden' presenting 16 gardens from around the world to imitate at home; 4 packets of seeds of the four main cereal crops: wheat, maize, rice and sorghum; a board game where each player searches for plants all over the world, and a cotton bag containing real seeds, which serve as counters for the game. Age 7+.

Following the adoption of Resolution 4.039 (Cross Commission Collaboration on Sustainable Use of Biological Resources) at the 4th IUCN World Conservation Congress, the IUCN Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP) and the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) have established a new cross-Commission group focused on sustainable use: the Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group (SULi). This builds on and re-focuses the extensive work of the Sustainable Use Specialist Group. This section of the IUCN website has been established as SULi's web area and will be populated with information in due course.
Broadly, the work of the group will include highlighting the importance of wild species for providing community benefits; analysing and communicating best-practice in aspects of sustainable use; promoting innovation in adaptive responses to the challenges of sustainable use; and developing practical tools and approaches to support sustainability and resilience in resource use.
Key thematic areas of interest are likely to include food security, wild meat (bushmeat), coastal/artisanal fisheries, sustainable use/Community-based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) and community empowerment; and engaging with key international fora such as the CBD and CITES on sustainable use and equitable benefit-sharing. Collaboration is also anticipated with other IUCN Commissions, such as the Commission on Ecosystem Management (CEM), and other specialist groups, programmes, and working groups both within and outside IUCN.
Rosie Cooney has been appointed as Chair of the new group. To contact Rosie with general inquiries, proposals for working collaborations, or to request details of how to join SULi email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'd OC the snot out of your 2600k, set it to medium, and see if that makes you happy. The 2600k is capable of playing it on medium, frames will dip now and then. But having played it both on Med and High, the only real difference I see the the amount of blood. And on High, the amount of blood is unreal, it's just everywhere. Medium is a much better amount, still over the top, but it fits the game. If your happy with the performance, then you just end up saving yourself some cash. Put those extra threads to work, people always say, "get the 2500k, you don't need those threads for gaming". Time to prove them wrong.
I kicked the card up as far as MSI afterburner would let me. The lowest I get in really bloody firefights is 40FPS all max 1366x768. GTX470 is at 800c/1750m and the 9800GT 715c/1050m. Max load I saw on the 9800GT is 70%.
Thanks for the input Kurgan, I'll give that a try. Should be getting BL2 tonight, i'll see how it runs normally, then I'll try that. Quick question, what resolution were you playing it on medium at? I normally play at native, 1900x1200
Seems our results are about the same then. I'm assuming res won't matter too much for particle effects since there should still be the same amount of particles. The 9800 will have to do for now, but just kinda sucks going from 100 - 120 fps running and gunning, then a head poips off and blood comes out and I drop to 35 - 50 fps. The higher end of that spectrum is fine, but dropping 70% or so of my fps that quickly to 35 is noticeable. Also the load I see on my 9800 is usually 89%. I tried Medium with at 1920x1080 with my 2600k when I was at like 4.5ghz and it was ok, the dips got a bit low if I was up close in a crazy fight, but some extra mhz might change that. Just have to try it and see if it makes you happy.
Don't mind the mess I am waiting for new blocks to retube the loop. Will see how it performs shortly.
On that note I kicked the CPU up to 4ghz. With the GTX 295 and 4ghz phenom frames dipped at the lowest I saw to 45FPS.
GTX 295 at 700/1100 seems to fix my physx issues didn't drop below 50FPS even during boss battles running 1920x1080. I attached a sensor log from the GTX 295 to give an idea how well it loads down that cards memory and GPU. Was seeing around a 50% max load with 300-400mb of memory used for physx. Downside to the 295 is it seems to be starving the GTX 470 for air as temps on that went up 10-15C or so peaking at 84C.
Green Man Gaming has it for 10% off, but if you can wait the game will eventually go on sale on Steam.
Wahh.. I'm trying to buy 2 gtx480s to replace my 2 gtx285s for my 51st birthday... I have a whole rack of other problems to deal with before I spend this much for a game... although dammit the first game I've seen in a long time I actually like....
Not sure if this is how it works, but I'm assuming that with the 295 as well, it's only loading on 1 core, so it's basically just a GTX 275 for Physx. The game just came out a few days ago, now days $60 is pretty standard for big titles, a 4 pack if you can get in one is about $41. Or if you haven't played Borderlands 1, that goes on sale pretty often.
Yes it is basically a GTX 275. Especially since this card has some kind of glitch with this mobo were it only loads one gpu when mated with a dissimilar card.

Article ID: 976618 - View products that this article applies to. SymptomsYou experience performance issues in applications and services in various versions of Windows XP, of Windows Vista, of Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Additionally, you notice the following symptoms:
CauseMemory management in Microsoft Windows operating systems uses a demand-based algorithm. If any process requests and uses a large amount of memory, the size of the working set (the number of memory pages in the physical RAM) of the process increases. If these requests are continuous and unchecked, the working set of the process will grow to consume all the physical RAM. In this situation, the working sets for all the other processes are paged out to the hard disk. This behavior decreases the performance of applications and services because the memory pages are continuously written to the hard disk and read from the hard disk. This behavior also applies to the working set of the system file cache. If there is a continuous and high volume of cached read requests from any process or from any driver, the working set size of the system file cache will grow to meet this demand. The system file cache consumes the physical RAM. Therefore, sufficient amounts of physical RAM are not available for other processes. On 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems earlier than Windows Vista, the working sets of the system file cache have a theoretical memory limit of less than1 GB. The limitation of the virtual address range prevents the working sets of the system file cache from exhausting the physical RAM. On 32-bit versions of Windows Vista operating systems, kernel resources are allocated dynamically. The working set of the system file cache increases to consume the virtual address range of the kernel mode at the expense of other kernel resources. The limitation of this memory range is less than 2 GB. If the computer has more than 2 GB of physical RAM, the cache cannot exhaust all the physical RAM. However, the cache can exhaust the virtual address space in the kernel. This can cause allocation failures for other kernel components. On 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems, the size of the virtual address range is typically larger than the physical RAM. In this situation, the working set for the system file cache can increase to consume most of the physical RAM. WorkaroundTo work around this issue, use the GetSystemFileCacheSize API function and the SetSystemFileCacheSize API function to set the maximum or minimum size value for the working sets of the system file cache. The use of these functions is the only supported method to restrict the consumption of physical memory by the system file cache. The Microsoft Windows Dynamic Cache Service is a sample service that demonstrates one strategy to use these APIs to minimize the effects of this issue. Installing and using the Microsoft Dynamic Cache Service does not cause the exclusion of support for Microsoft Windows. This service and its source code are provided as an example of how to use the Microsoft supported APIs to reduce the growth of the file system cache. The service and source code can be downloaded from the following link in the Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e24ade0a-5efe-43c8-b9c3-5d0ecb2f39af&displaylang=en
StatusMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. More informationThe memory management algorithms in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems were updated to address many file caching problems found in previous versions of Windows. There are only certain unique situations when you need to implement this service on computers that are running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. How to Determine That Your System is Affected Download the SysInternals RamMap tool from the website below and install it on your system: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ff700229
When you run the tool, select "Use Counts" and there will be several columns displayed that illustrate the current pattern of memory usage. Click on the "Active" column to sort by the number of bytes used, and note the top usage directly under the total. If the top use count is "Metafile" and a large portion of memory is being used, then you are experiencing the System File Cache issue described above. This can also be confirmed using Performance Monitor and monitoring the Memory\System Cache Resident Bytes counter and seeing the cache grow continuously over time. Example RamMap output where the computer is experiencing the issue: Collapse this image Example RamMap output where the computer is not experiencing the issue: Collapse this image Performance Monitor can also be used to assist in determining the computer is experiencing the issue described above. Load Performance Monitor and monitor the Memory\System Cache Resident Bytes counter over a period of time. If the counter shows an upward trend over time then the computer is experiencing the issue, as shown below: Collapse this image If your Windows Server 2008 R2 system is experiencing this issue, you may contact Microsoft Technical Support
to obtain the Dynamic Cache Service for Windows Server 2008 R2.Restart requirements You do not have to restart the computer when you install, uninstall or use this service. PropertiesArticle ID: 976618 - Last Review: October 15, 2012 - Revision: 7.0 Applies to

Global slums can be vastly different in nature. Some are working-class neighborhoods that have been torn up by gang wars like the Petare slum in Venezuela. Others like Dharavi in Mumbai, a mini-city that operates as a recycling hub and has a booming leather industry, are a permanent fixture.
Slums like Kibera are notoriously difficult to measure because they often serve as a conduit for people shifting from the country to big cities. This list is not exhaustive and the ones that made our list did so on the basis of their crime rate, size, and population.

Go back in 2014.
That's not surprising that some governors have decided not to have their states run health insurance exchanges it's under the president's controversial reform law.
What's surprising.
Is how many.
25 states that's half the country are saying sorry mister president we're not gonna help you enforce this flawed piece of legislation.
One of the governor saying that is Georgia governor Nathan Deal who joins us now governor it's really a pleasure to have you here.
-- It's kind of surprising that 25 states half of the states in this country have said that they will not set up their own exchanges.
A what is the -- what was it that you and said I can't do this for -- it's just not gonna help us what was the deciding point.
I think the biggest deciding factor was that we couldn't get answers to questions that we -- were essential.
The Republican governors wrote a letter back in July.
To the secretary of HHS asking very specific questions.
Things that we needed to know in order to be able to decide whether or not to implement these exchanges at the state level.
We've basically got very few answers it -- -- A remarkably however in the last week suddenly regulations are pouring out of they.
Bureaucrats in Washington and the hundreds of pages problem but.
The bottom line is as you know having been a governor yourself.
That states that have to balance their budget such as of the state of Georgia.
We are struggling in this downturn economy to meet the obligations that we already -- with regard to health care particularly with regard to Medicaid.
To have an unknown cost factor thrust upon us is something that would be irresponsible in my opinion for us to listen.
And governor that's a point that a lot of people don't understand about Medicaid the federal government -- -- -- will take care of your expenses and setting up the exchange.
And making this big massive Medicaid expansion.
But states have to pay a portion and even if the feds pick it up for two years year three and beyond.
You're going to be in for.
Literally billions of dollars of new obligation for funding aren't you.
We have estimated it anywhere from two and a half to -- and a half billion dollars.
Over about a ten year period.
And we don't have any extra money like that lying around in our state and I don't think any other state does either.
So to assume any additional obligation.
Is a tremendous stay up and one that we don't wanna do because we -- pledge not to raise taxes in our state.
I know historically a lot of times governors were put in a tough spot the federal government would say if you don't implement new pieces of Medicaid.
Didn't will take the whole program away from the court's rules they can't do it this time.
Is that a part of what he's emboldened governors to act in their states that centrist rather than.
As they used to have to do almost whatever held hostage by the federal government.
Yes absolutely fortune that it -- US Supreme Court decision did say.
That the original portion of obamacare legislation would that would have mandated states to expand their Medicaid rolls could not be forced -- states so that's a good thing that was part of the ruling that -- we all applauded.
And I think you're seeing the same reaction with regard to.
Setting up state insurance exchanges you're seeing the same reaction with regard to expanding Medicaid populations.
It is a cost to the states and one that most of us just don't think we can afford especially.
Not knowing what the future cost to go to be.
The way these exchanges were gonna work governor is that.
The state can set its -- up the feds could come in and set it up there could be a hybrid.
When you say you're not gonna have one does that mean the feds will still come in and build one around you regardless of what your decision has.
That's the way the legislation reads.
And operas in the -- exactly what they would do I think the greatest intrusion into State's authority is actually bad responsibility this now being shifted to the federal government.
As you know states have insurance commissioners.
We have won this a constitutional officer and our state.
And this is traditionally been the role of an insurance commissioner the state level to regulate the business of insurance.
Here we have instead of the state legislature deciding what a benefit.
Mandate is going to be we have a federal bureaucracy deciding what that mandate is going to be -- And quite frankly what we -- seeing -- is that in order to be able to be listed on the exchange.
You're going to have to have policy provisions that satisfy the bureaucrats in Washington.
And they're only gonna be satisfied.
With Cadillac type plans.
Things that many employers.
And many states even for their own state employees.
Don't provide that many benefits.
That's going to be a huge cost factor that nobody is really talk that much about.
Now I think you're right it hasn't been discussed very much as I'm so glad you were able to be on because.
I think people don't understand that this is when the federal government is not only -- in your state for certain benefits but the cost of having to provide them.
And for the federal government economists say George that you're not going to be able to spend more money on.
Maybe education our highways because we've already spent your money for you.
That's really what this gets down to and that's why I think you and a lot of other governors have said no thank you.
We are having a tough time meeting our other obligations and as we see health care continued to go up in terms of cost.
We are already seeing the effects of -- -- because as you know there were certain provisions of the statute that have already taken effect.
And we are having to include extra millions of dollars in our state budget this year.
Just to cover those extra calls that have already been imposed upon us there -- state employee health benefit plan.
Well governor it's great to have you here and for making a very clear explanation as to why governors are saying.
You're just not gonna participate in that hope you have a great 2013.
Down in Georgia and look for to seniors and like last night.
-- then.
We're only.

I've heard the good and the bad with using GPS devices in cars.
I'm not bad when it comes to my sense of direction, but I'm also not that sharp at it either. Would a GPS be really all that neccessary? I've heard they can guide you a longer way to get places - which is something unwanted by me. I've heard if you get a GPS, go with the TomTom's... truth or fiction?

Abercrombie and Kent Residence Club Offers Trial Memberships
The posh Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club is offering a trial membership for those interested in trying out one of the club's multi-million-dollar residences (and really who wouldn't be?). The Trial Membership offers access to beach, mountain and golf destinations in idyllic vaction spots including the Turks & Caicos, Deer Valley and Kiawah Island.
Most residences are 4,000 square feet with four bedrooms and at least four bathrooms providing a luxurious home away from home for a gathering of family and friends to celebrate a special event or just gather for some much-needed relaxation. The Trial Membership provides access to the full range of Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club services including a dedicated Global Experience Manager to orchestrate every aspect of your stay, greeting at the airport and private transportation to the residence, pre-arrival grocery shopping, daily housekeeping and the local knowledge and activity-planning assistance of a Destination Host.
For a limited time, Trial Membership in the Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club is available for $1,400 per night. Reservations can be made for a minimum of three and a maximum of seven nights and can be made from two to 180 days in advance of travel date but must be made by September 30, 2009. More details on the club website.
As the Sherpa Report mentioned last month, this is actually a trend with several other clubs including Exclusive Resorts, Ultimate Escapes and Quintess also all offering trial memberships to tempt travelers during a time when people are cutting back on their vacationing.

Even before the Internet and social media, communication was tricky. Companies and government had to use print, radio, television and telephone to reach customers and constituents.
That's still true, but now add websites, Twitter, Facebook and more.
In an emergency, making it all work at once is a daunting task. Just ask Fayetteville's Public Works Commission, whose communications systems fell short on Jan. 3, when a major pipe break left many residents and businesses without water. Some businesses had to close down.
PWC staff did well reaching customers through Twitter and Facebook. But the utility's telephone "blast" could only send 344 calls a minute to notify customers, and the website had no updates. This left puzzled, worried customers wondering what the problem was.
By the following week, the utility's staff was already looking into ways to solve those problems, starting with the website. Finding a contractor whose equipment can send out tens of thousands of phone messages a minute should be a top priority too.
It's good that the utility saw what fell short in the Jan. 3 water main break and is moving quickly to fix it. Communicating is complex these days, but essential too.

21/06/2013 by Terry_Deans
Just had laminate flooring fitted in two spare bedrooms. Service from Gary and his team was first class and the end result of fitting by Steven, is outstanding. Had work carried out before by these guys to the same standard. So glad I found these guys and will most definitely be having any future work carried out by The Floor Studio. Thanks guys.

New flooring
25/04/2013 by JLW1
We decided to replace our old laminate flooring (which had served us well) and after looking around a few local(ish) companies we decided on the Floor studio. Sometimes you hear that local companies are not as competative as the big boys ! However Gary and the team did a great job from firstly advising on exactly what was best for us and the price was very competative as well. The installation guy was very professional and did a great job. Overall a super job and we will certainly be back.

Excellent service, price and workmanship
02/12/2011 by HeatherL
The company came highly recommended. We contacted Gary and he came the same evening to do a quotation which we received promptly. The advice we received when choosing the flooring was knowledgable and very helpful. The job was completed on time and when the fitters experienced an issue with our concrete floor the problem was swiftly dealt with and the floor laid. An excellent job and we are delighted with the finished product. Happily recommend and will use again.

The Bed Studio

I ordered two matresses from The Bed Studio on their opening weekend, when Gary and Craig were very busy - but still smiling! Gary delivered them to me when he said he would (still smiling despite the rain on delivery day), helped me get them upstairs and removed the old ones. Great service, good prices, and a range of beds and mattresses to suit every body. Highly recommended.

Ennahda: Tunisia's constitution will not be based on Islamic law
Dubai TV - The debate raging over the new constitution in Tunisia has intensified, after the government-led Ennahda Islamist Movement announced that it will not adopt sharia, or Islamic law, as the main source of legislation.
The decision was met by opposition from members of the Ennahda and its coalition blocs, which said the decision violates the principles which the party was elected based on. It is an ongoing debate over state identity, which has been polarizing the country since the downfall of the regime a year ago.
Sudan Summit Suspended After Border Clashes
Al Jazeera - South Sudan's authorities said the Sudanese army's fighter-jets shelled its border state for a second consecutive day after ground battles broke out between forces of Khartoum and Juba the day before. The long border between Sudan and South Sudan, still awaiting demarcation in accordance with the treaty recently signed by the two sides, has suddenly turned into a battlefield for military conflicts targeting the oil-rich areas in the two countries.
After several days of clashes, the Sudanese army celebrated the withdrawal of South Sudan soldiers from the disputed border region Heglig. Both Sudan and South Sudan agreed to meet in Addis Ababa do discuss security issues.
Israeli Website Recruits Retired Soldiers to Evict Palestinians
Palestine TV - An Israeli extremist recently created a website, announcing job opportunities for soldiers who completed their military service. The website is recruiting them to storm the homes of Jerusalemites and evict them to later seize their houses. These calls seek to evict citizens from their homes were started by Israeli militant Aryeh King, the director of the Israel Land Fund and a founding member of the Israeli Association for Distributive Justice, called on soldiers with a strong build to join him in evicting Jerusalemites.
Rift Widens Between Egypt's Military Rulers and Muslim Brotherhood
New TV - In Egypt, anger erupted after the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis monopolized the Constituent Assembly as the youth of the revolution are calling for a million-person march next Friday, under the banner "the constitution is for everyone."
The constitutional committee, consisting of 100 members, ended with an Islamist majority from the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party and the Salafi al-Nour Party, turning the world upside down for the Islamists, who monopolized the committee as the Copts only received six seats and the youth only one seat. In a stern address, the council announced it will not allow the Brotherhood or its Freedom and Justice Party, to seize control of the constitution.

And so it came to pass that a talking carp, shouting in Hebrew, shattered the calm of the New Square Fish Market and created what many here are calling a miracle.
Of course, others are calling it a Purim trick, a loopy tale worthy of Isaac Bashevis Singer or just a whopping fish story concocted by a couple of meshugenehs.
Whatever one calls it, the tale of the talking fish has spread in recent weeks throughout this tight-knit Rockland County community, populated by about 7,000 members of the Skver sect of Hasidim, and throughout the Hasidic world, inspiring heated debate, Talmudic discussions and derisive jokes.
The story goes that a 20-pound carp about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner began speaking in Hebrew, shouting apocalyptic warnings and claiming to be the troubled soul of a revered community elder who recently died.
Many people here believe that it was God revealing himself that day to two fish cutters in the fish market, Zalmen Rosen, a 57-year-old Hasid with 11 children, and his co-worker Luis Nivelo, a 30-year-old Ecuadorean immigrant.
