New York Minute
New York Travel Blog› entry 2 of 26 › view all entries
If you guessed, ŌĆ£went to the Museum of Modern ArtŌĆØ then you are correct.
If you guessed ŌĆ£spent the night in a hotel and then went to the MoMA, then youŌĆÖve probably already heard this story.
Just a little background: I knew I was going to have this layover, and for some reason NYC scared me more than all of Greece, I canŌĆÖt explain why, but I was just getting really nervous about it. Thankfully my dad and I went on Google earth and checked it all out, so that soothed my nerves a bit. Thanks dad!
I got into JFK at 1130pm, JFK is chaotic. ThatŌĆÖs my best word for it. I fought people literally with my elbows to get my suitcase off the conveyer belt, then stalked people to find my way to the air train, and then to the stop where the hotel shuttle was supposed to pick me up. It took me an hour but I figured it all out, and made it to the hotel, which was nice.
I woke up early (I had a lot of art to see) and the hotel had a shuttle to the subway station. On the shuttle I made friends with two girls who took the subway with me. IŌĆÖve been making a lot of friends.
I got off at 53rd, and found MoMA easily, since I already knew that it would look like, thanks to google earth street view. I was a little early, so I went to this sweet store across from it. New York was perfect. I donŌĆÖt know why I was so scared. I am now officially like every other 20 something person who insists on moving to NYC when they graduate. I love it. I got in line at MoMA. They people in front of me were speaking Spanish, and behind me, speaking French. I felt so special that I could eavesdrop on both of them! I decided to start on the 5th floor ŌĆō where the 20th century paintings and sculptures were. I got off the escalator to be greeted by a Rodin sculpture. Every corner I turned was another legendary painting that I had never fathomed I would see in real life. IŌĆÖm sure I annoyed people because every time I walked into a new gallery I would gasp. Life is good being an art historian. IŌĆÖm so glad I took the 20th century art class. Going to MoMA should be a requirement for that class. All the paintings I fell in love with on the slide screen in the Roger Hull lecture hall, I finally got to see in real life. I saw the Kirchner Street Scenes, and MondrianŌĆÖs Broadway Boogie Woogie, which FINALLY made sense to me when I saw it in person.
I think my favorites were DuchampŌĆÖs ŌĆśBicycle WheelŌĆÖ and LegerŌĆÖs ŌĆśThree WomenŌĆÖ (Jessica it really does look like you, and it made me miss you!) Also in the stairwell I ran into MatisseŌĆÖs ŌĆśDanceŌĆÖ which is HUGE! I couldnŌĆÖt believe it. Ok I could list everything that I saw, but you could just look up the collection online if you really cared. I will mention, I saw some awesome installations, one of them was just a normal hallway which was flooded with yellow light, so that everyone was black and white when you walked through it. I was amused as one little girl ran through it and said ŌĆśMom, this isnŌĆÖt art!ŌĆØ Interesting that at 5 years old she has a clear opinion of what is and isnŌĆÖt art. Sometimes I wish I was so sure.
The fourth floor had the pop art, and the Rothkos. By the third floor I was on mental overload and my camera battery died. (for which, I will NEVER forgive it) I only had till about 12:45 so I really had to run though everything.
I took the subway back to the airtrain, back to the shuttle, back to the hotel, back to the shuttle, back to the airport just in time for security checkpoint and boarding.
I had a window seat on my flight to London. A guy sat next to me and introduced himself and asked where I was going.
Vina: IŌĆÖm going to Athens!
Guy: Really? IŌĆÖm half Greek, but I live in Turkey. Greek men are beautiful.
Vina: ŌĆ".. oh ŌĆ".
How do you respond to that!? What a strange thing to say! I didnŌĆÖt tell him that the only Greek man IŌĆÖm interested in is the Doryphorus (DonŌĆÖt worry Dad, itŌĆÖs a statue(a naked statue though)) I passed out the whole flight. Window seat was a bad idea, I get stir crazy, but I was really lucky that I slept the whole way. And they ran out of breakfast boxes, so we got the first class fruit platters. Much better.
Anyway, I heart NY, and my trip was safe, and very interesting.

|ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration
|Written by Administrator
|Saturday, 11 June 2011
Balkan Sunflowers' Learning Centers Network has been short-listed for the prestigious Erste Foundation Award for Social Integration. The Foundation writes on their website:
The ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration promotes and recognises organisations in the public and non-profit sectors that engage people's abilities, capacities, and initiatives for socially-oriented practice and progressive change in society. The Award is integral to the ERSTE Foundation Social Development programme, which emphasises a commitment to human and cultural diversity, holistic human development, social and economic justice, and individual and group self-determination.
Social development in civil societies in Central and South Eastern European countries
The ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration adds value to social practice by highlighting innovative projects in CSEE countries. The Award gives due recognition to the role of individuals and groups in that region in creating societies with equal opportunities for everyone. Social integration is applied here to mean policies and programmes which foster stable, safe and just societies and therefore are inclusive of disadvantaged, vulnerable groups and people with special needs.
The Award is given to innovative and creative social integration projects that have made a valuable impact and difference in the lives of intended beneficiaries. The financial component of the Award is intended to further the awardees in their social practice.
The Learning Centers Network serves approximately 450 children daily, children primarily from Kosovo's Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian minorities. The program includes preschool, language club – a program to help first and second graders work in the language of the school they attend, homework help, school materials and books, a daily hot meal, an innovative summer learning program, and women's literacy. Local youth, primarily from these minority communities work as tutors for the younger children. In doing so, they develop skills, pride, commitment to the children and their communities, and also receive support for their own continuing education.
More than 1850 projects from Central and Eastern European countries were submitted to the Foundation for consideration for the Erste Award. 130 have been short-listed. Balkan Sunflowers is proud and grateful to be among them.
The final winners will be announced in Prague on 20 June 2011.

At the very heart of Septerra lies the Core, a huge Biocomputer. Seven continents at different elevations, each with its own unique people and culture, orbit around the Core.Read full description

Fallout meets Final Fantasy, that's what I thought when I first saw the game and since I was a fan of both series I got it eventually and frankly speaking it was a decent experience though in terms of graphics game looked poor even when it was released. Anyway, it's still rather bad in terms of presentation but in term of fun factor is still stays strong. Solid pseudo jRPG tactical action.
I got this game with a Gaming magazine, more then a decade ago, and boy, this game seemed long at the time. Really, really long. Looking back now, it was just my first rpg, and because of that, the first game that took longer to beat then a few months. Septerra Core is a strange game. At first, it seems like a stock final fantasy clone game, with a blue haired main character, whose best friend has red hair, in a setting that sorta resembles feudal japan, except it has robots, and guns, and spaceships...so, a typical JRPG. Then, when the story really kick in, you start to receive teammates that are truly unique. At least half your team hates the other half, and has a decent chance, of attacking them in the battlefield instead of their enemies, and you need to solve lots of really well written side missions to resolve this. At the same time, there is a gigantic world war, and you have to stop the villain, before it's too late , because if the bad guy won't destroy this world, it will tear itself apart eventually!
What I really love in old games are unique atmosphere that they were creating, great stories and different mechanics that made each other so fun to play. It's a really long game for many nights (or days, if you have time to play games when there is sun still up) with a interesting story. I bet "key features" like 200 locations would now make many players to laugh, but back then it was a something to be proud of. Well, it's not like nowadays games have so many different and climatic locations. Exploring the world of Septerra Core can really be addictive, with so many interesting characters with each one have their own voice. I'm glad that game like this is selling even after many years, it's good that old players can play it again, and maybe that new players can see how good games were made so many years ago. If you are looking for good game, this one is must buy.
(I also published this review to Steam, Metacritic, and HowLongToBeat) Overall, this is a great game. Full voice acting and impressive graphics for 1999 combine with an exciting story and interesting character development to make a memorable experience. Fans of the early Final Fantasy games should truly enjoy this game. Its biggest flaw is that the combat system can become boring or even tedious after a while. I also found it frustrating that enemy health bars are hidden by default. If either of those bother you too much, there are cheat codes (true to any 90s game) to fix both of those problems. Disclaimer: I played the disk version of this game, and purchased the Steam version because I lost the disk. I've heard rumors of bugs in the Steam version, but I emailed Topware support and they said that they were working to resolve them. I couldn't get it to work at all in Windows 8.1 though.
Economical , not wordy , animations inserted only where you need it. Simple Keyboard controls in the majority of substitutable by rat - allows you to concentrate on the game. Easy to move around the locations and maps , logical and nuanced combat system (no long animation sequences when casting spells - a little animation of course is ) and of scenario: linear (which may be too big an advantage it is not) , but all in all legible and łopatologiczny . You have to pay attention to details and sometimes brains in gear . The next steps are indicated by clear instructions , but you have to catch them - otherwise remains legwork on the map and a studded points in consecutive fights. You can see that gentlemen authors pointed this out , because sometimes when a man is too good and too quickly moves to the next stages , it is the way goes to the opponents who clearly are prepared stronger team. To sum . For sure this is not some discovery . It's fairly well made up for a lesson , however ( and therefore ) highly recommend it to everyone who can devote several hours to the salvation of the world. Incredibly time consuming ! PS: As a young man how it played , I remember that even ran off a full walkthrough for the game, because I did not know how to get a piece!

All hi-tech at BJP silver jubilee celebrations
December 26, 2005 16:35 IST
Last Updated: December 26, 2005 17:51 IST
It is all hi-tech at the Bharatiya Janata Party conclave in Mumbai to mark the silver jubilee celebrations of the party.
A special daily newspaper, live webcast of all events, internet-connected personal computers for journalists to cover various programmes and grand stage performances will all be part of the celebrations that will kick off later Monday evening.
To be held amid tight security under the supervision of BJP general secretary Pramod Mahajan, the two-day national executive of the party would be followed by the three-day national convention, in which more than 4,000 party delegates will take part.
The celebrations are being held at the Bandra Reclamation ground, where the party was launched 25 years ago with�Atal Bihari Vajpayee as president and�Lal Kishenchand Advani as general secretary.
However, the re-enactment of the 1980 launch would be different from the original event in many respects.
While M C Chagla, a non-party leader was one of the key speakers at the first conclave, no leaders from any other organisation has been invited for the three-day convention beginning�December 28.
The party's national executive, which will begin with the party president's address, will conlude Tuesday, adopting at least three resolutions -- political, economic and foreign affairs. The meeting would also deliberate on the party's strategy for the upcoming Assembly polls in five states, he said.

For Sunday's dining review, Cheryl Clark visited the Ugly Rooster Café in Mechanicville. Short version:
(Chef-owner Ariel) Pagan's pastry experience is evident in his buttermilk biscuits. As humble as they are, Southern-style biscuits require confident handling: Warm fats and a heavy hand will turn them into tough little stones. These were fluffy and slightly crumbly, lighter than a scone, with little steam pockets adding to the flakiness. His enthusiasm for regional food fetishes meant our meal was entertaining, delicious, professionally cooked, bountiful and cheap. Service was whiplash fast — less than 10 minutes from order to delivery.

Homer Electric Association customers around the Kenai Peninsula will most likely see an increase on their April bills.
The overall energy rate is going from about 15.5 cents a kilowatt hour to 18.8 cents. For the average residential customer, that means their bill will be about $20 more than the previous month, said HEA's Joe Gallagher.
"It's huge," Gallagher said, adding that it's a larger increase than usual, but not the biggest increase Kenai Peninsula residents have ever seen. In April of 2009, the overall energy cost was more than 20 cents an hour.
The increase will show up on the wholesale power cost adjustment line of a customer's bill. That line multiplies the amount of energy used by a cost set by Chugach Electric Association. The cost is going from 0.863 cents a kilowatt hour to 4.171 cents. In 2009, that cost reached 7.9 cents a kilowatt hour.
Homer Electric filed the rate change last month with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, as they do four times a year.
Gallagher said it was a pretty standard change in that HEA is just passing along an increase from Chugach Electric Association, the entity that provides HEA with much of the power for the Peninsula.
Chugach sets the Wholesale Power Cost Rate Adjustment -- the cost that is increasing -- based on an average of natural gas, heating oil and crude oil prices. It changes every quarter.
Chugach purchases natural gas from multiple suppliers, and passes that cost along to HEA.
Gallagher said that essentially, when gas prices rise, electric costs follow.
"A good indicator is your gas pump," he said.
Gallagher said that Southcentral Alaska's increased demand for natural gas in the winter doesn't affect the price electric customers pay.
The change will show up on April bills, which means that customers are paying for their energy use from March.
RCA representative Grace Salazar said the commission will make a decision by April 14. They can either approve the change, reject it, or suspend it into a docket for further research. A decision could be made earlier.
"If we don't have an RCA decision by March 31, we will still implement the new rate for billings beginning April 1," Gallagher said.
If the RCA doesn't approve the decision, the association will adjust accordingly, he said.
But not everyone will see the spike in April.
About 5 percent of HEA's customers participate in a budget billing plan, where they pay a set rate each month based on their average use and the average cost. Gallagher said the plan evens out monthly bills, so customers don't see as much seasonal fluctuation. Each spring, the company either bills or credits customers for the difference in what they actually use and what is predicted.
Those bills won't change immediately.
In the short term, HEA is encouraging people to conserve electricity to minimize the impact of the increase. Customers can also apply for the Alaska heating assistance program if they can't afford the increased energy costs and meet certain state income guidelines.
In the long term, the company's Independent Light project could help mitigate increases because it will enable the Nikiski power plant to produce more electricity with the same amount of natural gas.

'Total Recall' Interview: Toby Jaffe & Neal Moritz
- By
- 3 Comments
During the production of Total Recall, I drove down to Toronto's Pinewood Studios to spend a full day with the cast and crew of the remake based on the classic Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale."
While on set, I spent some time in the trailer of producers Toby Jaffe and Neal Moritz who shared details on the motivation and ideas behind the upcoming re-imagining of Total Recall, differences between it and the original, and much, much more.
List of topics discussed in this interview:
- Getting the rights to remake Total Recall.
- Why there's no Mars storyline or mutants.
- Casting Colin Farrell as the new Hauser and choosing Len Wiseman to direct.
- Living up to the original Total Recall, but remaining grounded.
- Ethan Hawke's character explained.
- Three-breasted women.
- Reflecting on the original Total Recall & cheese factor.
- Sequel aspirations.
- Why Kuato was renamed "Matthias."
- Why Total Recall isn't in 3D.
- Updates on Preacher and The 8th Voyage of Sinbad.
What was the greatest challenge of adapting a story that's been done before?
Neal: Luckily the source material was so good that it had such a great idea and jumping off point of being able to walk in a place and have these fantastic vacations, a mental holiday… It was just such an intriguing idea to us. You know, you work these jobs and you go into the corner or walk into one of these places, get this thing done and feel like you've been on vacation for two weeks or had some incredible experience, whether you're a thrill junkie or whatever it is. That to me was just such a fantastic idea whether it had already been made or not.
How did this project originate and tell us about the obstacles in getting the rights to remake Total Recall?
Toby: It started with us reading the original story again and realizing how rich it was and how great it was and we set out to find out where the movie rights were and it turned out that was sort of a complicated situation. It took us about six months to actually get the rights and I think our initial instinct really was just to start from scratch and go from the short story, but also going back and looking at the film, there were certain touchstone moments that for the segment of the audience that knows it, you want to find some way to reference them, but the challenge was to reinvent them in a fresh way, but at the same time not be bound by that movie at all.
And I think one of the big things that we decided early on was to try and tell a more grounded version of the story, something that feels, in terms of the world, is relatable as possible. And so I think part of that was not to go to Mars and not put yourself in a position where you have to kind of create a pure fantasy world which that would require. And given the cinematic era we're in right now with visual effects with movies like Avatar and stuff like that, you're going to Mars and all of a sudden you've got that bar to kind of measure up to. And so it just seemed like if we wanted to do a futuristic action movie that you felt as an audience member that you could put yourself in, that would be my fantasy of being a spy to try and keep it within a futuristic version of Earth seemed like tonally the right way to go.
So that was a goal right from the beginning?
Toby: Right from the beginning. Kurt Wimmer, who pitched us his take, that was his take. 'Let's keep it on Earth and it'll be very futuristic, but it'll be an extension of our world today.'
Avoiding any conflicts with other Mars-based films like John Carter?
Toby: That wasn't on our mind at the time, but it just turned out that way.
What were your first impressions on the tech and designs of this version of the future?
Neal: Luckily we had seen so many evolutions of this as the pre-production period was going on, seeing different variations of the China Fall, different variations of weapons, robot suits and cars. We were impressed by the vision of Len [Wiseman] and Pat [Tatopoulos] had of what the future would be.
Toby: You can actually see right up there [pointing to wall in trailer featuring concept art], that's one of the first images Len developed with Patrick and his team of what he saw this futuristic world looking like.
The original Total Recall won an Oscar for effects…
Neal: That's our aspirations, to be as good or better than the last one. This is kind of a wholly original version of Recall, even though we have touched on moments that touch back to the original, but this is a movie we're trying to make that stands on its own.
Can you tell us about the casting process in selecting Colin?
Neal: Colin was the first person involved. He was somebody I had worked with in the past who I loved. We really wanted a 'real man' and we went to him first and luckily he wanted to do it and we were off to the races after that. And then we added Jessica and Kate, and then Bryan Cranston and Bill Nighy and Ethan Hawke. It was just one of these things where people were really interested in doing the movie so it wasn't that hard.
Next: Ethan Hawke's role, three-breasted woman and other iconic Total Recall moments.

Smothered Salmon with Wilted Spinach
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I got the inspiration from this Food Safari's Lebanese episode a few years back and I never forgot it ever since. Originally, it's called Baked Salmon "Tarator" Style by Greg Malouf. My version, however, is very very simplified and I think I have achieved a similar but very different result - still very good, taste-wise. —Christabel
Serves 2
Tahini Harissa Yogurt Dressing
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1 teaspoon harissa paste
Salmon and Spinach
- 2 pieces salmon fillets, about 150g each
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- 1 piece small bay leaf
- 1/4 cup mixed nuts and seeds
- For the dressing, I have 1/4 cup of tahini paste, 1/4 cup of low fat yogurt and 1 tsp of harissa paste because I like the kick! Mix this then set aside.
- For the fish, I just poached the salmon with some whole peppercorns and bay leaves for 8-10 minutes. I like mine a bit on the rare side, so I cooked my salmon for just 8 minutes.
- With the remaining poaching liquid, I wilted some spinach leaves onto it and placed this on a plate.
- With a small spatula, I spread the dressing on the fish (like icing a cake!) and sprinkled some mix nuts and seeds on top. Voila! A healthy, easy lunch and looks like dessert!

[REL|SA|WIP] Left 4 Theft San Andreas

Posted 26 December 2011 - 05:23 PM
Here's a little teaser trailer:
There's a lot of new content since my last update. I'll make a quick list:
- Currently there are three camps for the bandits and army
- Each country village has a scavenger camp now
- Finished the survivor system: call in survivors at any time
- Made some missions for the army and bandit camps
- Made a third story mission
- Fixed a lot of minor and major bugs
- New zombie animations!
Scavenger camps are one of the new things I've added lately. Scavenger camps are located in the country villages around San Andreas. These camps are neutral and can be used whether you have joined the army or bandits. You can save your game here but not buy weapons. But the country villages will contain a lot of weapon pickups so it's more attractive to leave the big cities and go to the country.
The survivor system will allow the player to call in survivors he has helped in the special survivor missions. Each big city has one survivor mission, and become available after other certain (story) missions.

(Los Santos South army camp)
(Survivor system)
(Scavenger camp Dillimore)

EDIT: Game crashes when I try to start a new game
I've tried the both installation versions. Does it matter if you have some CLEO mods?
Yes, I strongly suggest to not install it on an installation with any other mods. You'd better install the mod on a clean San Andreas installation.

I've been receiving various messages about minor bugs which will be fixed in the next release. For the next release I want to create two more missions in Los Santos, Bandit/Army faction mission, and move on to San Fierro. I'd also like to create weapon pickups and map edits for the next release.
But I can't do all of this alone so I'd like to ask if people would like to help me. I believe the mod has much more potential and can achieve much more and that's why I need people who can fullfill the following roles:
- Scripter/Coder - Must be able to create missions and fix bugs/problems.
- Map Editor - Must be able to make map edits and get coordinates from the game.
Hopefully some people want to help as I can't do all of this alone. It's a lot of work and I really need a helping hand here and there.

I think it's getting a little boring if all the survivor are friendly to CJ.
You can add 2 or more survivors which friendly to CJ first, but after some
mission, the "evil" survivor will betray CJ and try to kill him. Or you can meet
a survivor that actually the person who cause the zombie outbreak and the
final mission, we must kill him and someone call CJ to go to the evac site. While CJ go to
the evac site, you can add a giant mutated monster. That could be the final boss of the campaign,
and the player must kill the monster before the monster reach the evac site. You can
put a heavy firepower to defeat the monster, for the example is Tank Rhino.
If you want to see my campaign version, PM me on ModDB or send me

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who could help me revive the mod. I haven't made any progress on the mod in the last few months because I kinda screwed up the scripting part. If there is anyone who could help me get things sorted out, I would really appreciate it. So if you have some experience with SCM coding, please help me.

I made a SAMI script but it didn't work very well, just make sure you added and replaced the correct files and don't forget to rebuild the archive. Also make sure you install everything on a clean installation of San Andreas with CLEO3 installed. I will try to make the installation easier in the next version.

I'm not planning to include a first person view but you can always download a mod for that yourself. The free mode will feature a survivor mission in each city, if you complete it you can call the survivor you helped and he/she will join your group and help you. You can call up to 3 survivors at any time.

How do you add more pages on your sidebar?
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
write more pages.
When you create a new page here -> Write -> Page
You can give the new page whatever title you like and then publish it. Then, provided you have placed the Pages widget in your sidebar a link to that new page will appear in your sidebar.
Do understand though that only one page, usually your front page, will automatically update with the new posts you publish going to the top of the order. The other pages you create sit outside the blog structure and they do not automatically update because they are for static content that rarely, if ever changes. Pages cannot be assigned categories and they do not get the same Google juice that the post on your front page do.
Many Club Penguin bloggers and others have far too many pages appearing on their blogs and this makes them look "messy". Here's how to cope with that http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/i-have-too-many-pages-at-the-top-of-my-blog/

After being named by David Paterson to serve as New York's first appointed lieutenant governor in July 2009, Richard Ravitch "realized that I had nothing to do — no function and no power," he said in a Wednesday visit to the Times Union's editorial board. "I decided that I at least wanted to become educated about the central issue of state government, which is of course the budget."
That led to Ravitch's work on a 2010 fiscal reform plan that would have obligated the state to deal with its structural deficit within five years, set up an independent budget review board to assess annual budget plans, and allowed for one-time borrowing to help close the gap. While that plan earned brickbats as well as praise, Ravitch's term in Albany eventually led him to his current work with the State Budget Crisis Task Force, a national initiative headed by Ravitch and former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker.
Ravitch, in Albany for meetings and to give a Thursday speech at the Rockefeller Institute, summed up the basic problem faced by states and their component communities by recalling a conversation with Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, who was relating her own city's structural problems: "The expenditure line and the revenue line (are) not exactly parallel with one another."
Miner spent this year's budget cycle fencing with Gov. Andrew Cuomo over what she saw as his budget proposal's insufficient support for the state's cash-strapped municipalities, and her skepticism that Cuomo's pension smoothing plan was a viable savings tool. The plan would allow municipalities and school districts to lock in a steady pension contribution rate over a longer term to avoid the often wild fluctuations during times of economic distress; critics worry that smoothing could result in underfunding of pension plans.
Ravitch bluntly called pension smoothing "a bunch of bull__."
He first came across the idea in 2010, when Budget Director Bob Megna — now serving in the Cuomo administration — showed him a draft of a budget memorandum that counted $600 million in savings from pension smoothing.
"I read the bill. Smoothing, schmoothing — I said what this is, is they're borrowing money. So I went to Paterson and I said, 'This is ridiculous — you don't balance your budget by giving a contribution pension fund a promissary note.'"
Ravitch said he had similar conversations with Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, who he said was initially supportive of the idea "because the unions were for it," and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
"And then, very candidly, I leaked it to Danny Hakim of the New York Times and it was a front-page story," Ravitch said. Nevertheless, the plan passed as part of the extraordinarily tardy 2010-2011 budget.
Ravitch said Cuomo's proposed expansion of the smoothing plan "was an add-on that made no sense." A scaled-back version of that proposal that hews closer to the 2010 scheme was eventually approved.
He is equally wary of the prospect of taxing entities filing bankruptcy as a shock-treatment way to address systemic fiscal problems — a tactic that hasn't worked at all in Nassau County, where despite its relative prosperity a control board has been utterly unable to fix decades of imbalances. Ravitch said that Nassau's decision to guarantee its creditors it would not declare bankruptcy meant that obligations to banks took precedence over obligations to pay pensions.
"To me, filing bankruptcy is an admission that democracy can't solve these problems," he said. "And that, from my own personal point of view as almost a religious conviction, is the worst possible thing that could happen."
Ravitch recalled how his work on the mid-'70s New York City fiscal crisis demonstrated that solutions could only be reached through leadership and a willingness by stakeholders to take positions against their own short-term interest — banks willing to suspend or restructure debt payments, unions willing to accept concessions, and political leaders willing to vote for strategies that contradicted party orthodoxy.
He recalled a recent talk he gave at the fiscally conservative Manhattan Institute, which has rung a relentless alarm about the cost of public employee pensions and other benefits.
"I made the observation that, from my point of view, I could not see the moral distinction between the obligation to pay interest to somebody who lends owes [corrected] you money and the obligation to pay a benefit to somebody who has worked for you for 20 years," he said. "Well, most of the people in the room thought I was a left-wing nut for saying that."

There is a lot of software and publications that enable athletes to track their training information. Over the years, I found that:
Data Collection
Collect the
following information in your training diary.
Use a spreadsheet's graphing function to make it easier to see emerging
patterns. Items with an asterisk are
1. *Hours of Sleep
2. *Waking Pulse
3. *Body Weight (nb, record once per week, same day, same time)
4. Type of workout session (eg, 5 minute big gear intervals; hill repeats, etc.)
5. Time of session in minutes
6. Average heart rate for session
7. Training Stress Score: product of
time of session and average heart rate (tss=time * avg hr)
8. Perceived Effort (see graphic below)
9. Brief notes/comments
10. *Advanced Training Stress Score: (for those looking for more granularity in their data)
atss=(time*avg hr*perceived exertion)/100
Perceived Exertion
Probably one of the most useful ways to gauge the intensity associated with a training session or race is to record one's perceived exertion, which is a relatively subjective assessment of how one felt during exercise. Use the following modified Gunnar Borg Scale to record the intensity levels of your training sessions and races. Over time, variances in evaluation will normalize to a personal standard that will remain consistent throughout the season, and from year-to-year.
A Sample Log Entry (click image to enlarge)
What Do The Data Mean?
On December 15, I slept a total of 6.5 hours and my waking pulse was 36 BPM. I monitor my waking pulse for variations--if there is a significant spike in my waking pulse, I assess whether I am on the onset of an illness or whether I might be fatigued. If the spike continues for more than a couple of days, I may consider adjusting my training sessions, either decreasing their intensity or their overall duration to assist in recovery. Similarly, I track body weight on a weekly basis to see if there are any emerging patterns that might necessitate attention. Rapid weight loss is a potential flag for over-training, among other possible issues.
My Workout Session column contains my planned workouts. In this example, my planned workout is to do three big gear, low cadence (~50-60 rpm) intervals, each of which is nine minutes in duration. The Comments field confirms whether I completed my workout as planned, along with any additional notes.
The data fields contains the duration of my workout session in minutes (I generally round to the nearest five minute interval), my average heart rate for the session, and my perceived exertion. TSS refers to the stress, or intensity of the session. The simplest way to obtain this value is to multiple session time by average heart rate, which will provide a basic measure of exercise intensity over time. I like a little more granularity in my training data, so I record an advanced training stress score (see item ten, above). Advanced training stress is the product of session time, average heart rate, and perceived exertion. In order to make this number more manageable, I divided this product by 100.
Acute and Chronic Training Stress
There are two different types of training stresses that we need to consider: acute and chronic. Think of acute training stress as the short-term impact of a training session. For instance, we know from practical experience that we will be tired the day after an interval session, so we try to build in easier workouts between intense workouts to facilitate recovery. Similarly, chronic training stress should be regarded as the cumulative effect that training has on use over an extended period of time. For instance, most good training programs will be based on a pattern of relatively intense of training cycles that might extend over a period of a month or two, followed by one to two weeks of light activity, again to facilitate recovery.
Putting It All Together
For multisport athletes, it is critical that metrics are used to do like-kind assessment within specific sport sessions, as well as metrics that can assess the overall impact of multiple sport training session. What is important to keep in mind is that whatever method being used to calculate session stress should be considered over short and long-term horizons and that individual session scores have value only when taken in aggregate. The easiest way to see emerging patterns is to graph acute and chronic training stress over time:
The chart above tracks both my acute (blue) and chronic (red) training stress for the months of November and December, 2011 Note the significant variations in intensity as signified by the peaks and valleys described by the blue line; this line is marking a pattern of intense workouts, followed by recovery sessions, on a weekly basis.
What is more informative is the pattern described by the red—the chronic—line in that accumulated training stress has been gradually increasing since the beginning of November. Based on my annual plan, I would anticipate that the red/chronic line will continue to rise for the months of January and February, after which I have scheduled two weeks of easy to moderate training to prepare for my next macrocycle. As I accumulate more data as the season progresses, the peaks and valleys of these initial curves will flatten, making it even easier to track long-term trends.

Direct Reduction of Iron Oxides with Fixed Carbon from Heavy Oils
Kim, Hark-Ryeong ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 1~1
Mixture of metallic iron and carbon was made by heating the mixture of iron oxides and fixed carbon separated from heavy oils. Overall reaction rate was faster than that of iron oxides with pure carbon monoxide under similar conditions. It seemed that the direct reduction of iron oxides with carbon layer surrounding throughly all over the surfaces of iron oxide particles took place dominantly evolving carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide simultaneously instead of the reaction between solids through gaseous intermediates for conventional system of iron oxides and solid carbon. This result could be applied to making iron more effectively than ever and reducing the cost of ironmaking considerably by utilization of light fraction of heavy oil as by-product.
Deactivation for Toluene Disproportionation on Aluminum-Extracted Mordenites
Park, Hyeon-Cheol ; Lee, Young-Sub ; Ha, Baik-Hyon ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 7~7
A series of aluminum-extracted mordenites having different silica-alumina ratio were prepared by both acid-leaching and steam treatment. For these catalysts, catalytic activities of toluene disproportionation reaction were measured at a point of view of deactivation properties and discussed with the results of nitrogen adsorption isotherm measurement as well as the ammonia adsorption study by infrared techniques. It leads to the conclusion that a maximum point in catalytic activity appeared at about silica-alumina ratio of 22, which has been explained by the increased acid strength due to aluminum extraction, but fast coke formation at the beginning of catalyst use could rather give the better explanation. For the low catalytic activity of starting acidic mordenite having platinum metal, it could be explained with the coke formation on the crystal surface as well as the partial blocking of platinum grain in the pore channel, which makes reactant molecules diffuse difficultly.
Effect of Potassium Addition to Silica-Supported Nickel Catalysts on the Methanation Kinetics
Rhee, Chong-Hyup ; Suh, Dong-Jin ; Ihm, Son-Ki ; Moon, Sang-Heup ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 15~15
The kinetic behavior of
in CO methanation has been studied in a differential reactor as potassium is added to the catalyst up to 5 wt%. The potassium addition gives stronger carbon monoxide adsorption and weaker hydrogen adsorption on the catalyst, and also reduces its methanation activity. There is a maximum methanation rate for a wide range of carbon monoxide pressure and the reaction rate increases with hydrogen pressure. Potassium addition decreases CO pressure that gives the maximum methanation rate, increases slightly the order to hydrogen pressure, and increases the activation energy of methanation.
A Study on the Catalytic Synthesis of Hydrocarbons from Methanol
Jeong, Gil-Mo ; Lee, Ho-In ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 22~22
The catalytic performance and availability of Y-type zeolite and ion-exchanged Y-type zeolite were studied in vapor phase methanol conversion to hydrocarbons in order to get low olefins among various hydrocarbons. In general, the experiments were carried out at
, equimole of methanol and nitrogen, 0.79 gr-feed/hr gr-cat of LWHSV(Liquid Weight Hourly Space Velocity) and under atmospheric pressure. The study was performed for the effects of temperature, partial pressure of methanol and contact time on product distribution, and it was extended to the deactivation process of catalyst and its effect on product distribution. Temperature was less effective than the other reaction parameters, and the selectivity for low olefins was improved by lowering partial pressure of methanol and by reducing contact time. As deactivation proceeded, the selectivity for low olefins was increased. The effect of ion-exchange was also studied. It was revealed that the ion-exchange of catalyst could improve both of the selectivity for low olefins and catalyst's life time.
Sulfonation of Dialkylbenzene
Lee, Hak-Sung ; Kim, Jong-Ho ; Lee, Jung-Min ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 33~33
This paper deals with the sulfonation of dialkylbenzene by oleum, and by gaseous sulfur trioxide. At
, and with the weight ratio of oleum to dialkylbenzene equals to 1.6 : 1, the sulfonation led to a high value of total acid number (TAN) without side reaction for two hours. However, 87% of feed oleum formed acid sludge as a byproduct. The sulfonation with gaseous
led to a low TAN value, and also led to about 10% of side reaction. The products thus obtained were usable as a intermediate of lubricating oil additives. The optimum conditions for the reaction were found to be about
, 6-8% of
concentration in air and with the mole ratio of total
to dialkylbenzene equals to 1.2 : 1. To suppress the side reaction, the heat of reaction should be removed properly in addition to using a perfectly dried air.
Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Rice Straw Cellulose to Glucose -In the Range of High Substrate Concentration-
Kim, Woo-Sik ; Yoo, In-Sang ; Lee, Byoung-Chul ; Song, Dong-Yoon ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 39~39
This study was investigated on the kinetics and characteristics of enzymatic hydrolysis of rice straw cellulose, especially at high substrate concentration for the purpose of effective use of the rice straw. In the range of high substrate concentration(5-20 w/v%) the rate limiting step of the hydrolysis reaction is physical adsorption step and reaction mechanism was shown as modified Michaelis-Menten equation(product inhibition reaction). The value of kinetic parameters were
, respectively. Meanwhile, when 200 mg/ml of milled rice straw (which is pretreated with 0.8% p-TSA for two hours) under 30 unit/ml of cellulase was hydrolyzed for 30 hours, about 98% conversion of glucose was obtained.
Coalescence of Liquid Droplets and Separation in a Mixer-Settler (Part 1: Batch Experiments)
Kim, Sung-Seok ; Choi, Chang-Kyun ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 45~45
The study on liquid-liquid separation characteristics in a mixer-settler system which is strongly influenced by mixing intensity was conducted experimentally. The experimental systems considered here are binary distilled water-organic solvent (n-heptane, iso-octane, ethyl acetate or n-hexane) systems. By performing batch tests, the relationship between the mean drop size and the Weber number was generated by
. Also, the separation characteristics for multiparticle systems were presented, based on the relative velocity of the continuous phase:
Steady State Simulation of Catalytic Converter for Automotive Emissions Control
Bang, Hyeong-Su ; Jo, Byeong-Rin ; An, Hwa-Seung ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 54~54
The steady state response of a monolith catalytic converter to changes in operating conditions and monolith design parameters has been examined on the basis of a mathematical model. The model considers both catalytic and gas phase homogeneous reactions of a hydrocarbon and allow for axial conduction of hear in the solid substrate. Higher inlet temperatures and concentrations, and lower gas velocities are shown to result in higher conversion efficiencies. Metallic monoliths, having higher channel density offer superior performance to ceramics, and channel size and shape had significant influence on conversion and temperature profiles along the monolith channel. A proper choice of catalyst distribution along the monolith axial dimension resulted in a solid temperature profile subjected to less thermal stress. The possible effect of changes in catalytic material on the overall converter performance has been also examined.
Preparation of Porous Poly (vinylidene fluoride) Membranes; The Effect of Casting Solvents on the Ultrafiltration Performances

Poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) was prepared for the ultrafiltration membranes because of its good film forming ability, high mechanical strength, and chemical resistance to solvents. Membranes were prepared by solvent casting method on a glass plate. To investigate the effect of casting solvents on the membrane performances dimethyl formamide(DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), and dimethyl acetamide(DMAc) were used as casting solvents. The solvent composition of casting solution was selected from one of followings; (A) homosolvent system of DMF, DMSO or DMAc, (B) binary solvent system of DMSO/DMF, DMF/DMAc or DMAc/DMSO, and (C) binary solvent system of solvent and volatile nonsolvent such as acetone. Ultrafiltration experiments were carried out with 0.2% aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol(PEG, average molecular weight of 1,500-20,000). Water flux and rejection were measured, and the cross-sectional structures of membranes were observed by a scanning electron microscope. From the result of water permeation, it was revealed that most of all the PVDF membranes had the water flux
at 2 atm. Membranes prepared by DMF solvent DMF solvent system had the high rejection values inspite of poor water fluxes in comparison with other membranes. DMAc and DMF solvent systems showed the sharp slope of rejection curves with the increase of molecular weight of solute, and especially, membranes prepared by DMSO had good performances for ultrafiltration.

Experiments on the reaction between rutile and chlorine in the presence of petroleum coke were carried out in a fluidized bed reactor. Inside diameter of the reactor is 15cm in the bed zone and is expanded to 90 cm in the freeboard zone, while the height is 183 cm in the bed zone and 82 cm in the freeboard zone. The ranges of experimental conditions used are as follows : reaction temperature is
, reaction pressure is held constant at 1 atm, the chlorine mole fraction is 0-0.8, the rutile composition in the bed is 10-90 wt%, and the static bed height is 25-45cm Average particle diameters of rutile and coke are 0.1 and 0.5 mm, respectively. The effects of the reaction temperature, the chlorine mode fraction, the static bed height and the rutile composition in the bed on the chlorine conversion and on the
ratio in the product gas are investigated quantitatively. The experimental results were also compared with those of other investigators.
Deposition Rate and Power Consumption Prediction of Silicon Deposition Reaction in the Bell-Jar Type Reactor
Kim, Mann-Young ; So, Won-Wook ; Yoon, Poong ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 81~81
Experiments of silicon CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition) using trichlorosilane and hydrogen gas mixture were conducted to determine the deposition rate and power consumption for the bell-jar type reactor used for semiconductor grade polycrystalline silicon manufacture. We studied the effects of reaction temperature, flow rate of reactant gas, and trichlorosilane concentration on the silicon deposition rate experimentally. An empirical equation to predict the silicon deposition rate was proposed and was compared with experimental data. On the other hand, a model equation to predict power consumption of the bell-jar type reactor was derived from the deposition rate equation and the heat saving equation in the reactor. Predictions by this model were agreed well with experimental data.
The Mixing Rule with Excess Gibbs Energy Applicable to Cubic Equations of State
Lee, Ha-Jeong ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 89~89
The mixing rule with excess Gibbs energy was introduced into PR equation of state and UNIQUAC eq. was chosen as an expression of excess Gibbs energy. The interaction parameters of UNIQUAC were determined so as to reproduce vapor-liquid equilibrium data. As the result, the parameters of paraffin system are small enough to be neglected, but the parameters of other systems including polar components are large enough to act an important role in the fugacity coefficients of their mixtures. In fact, vapor-liquid equilibria for binary paraffin, nitrogen-ethane, alcohol-water, acetone-water, and acetone-methanol systems could be successfully reproduced in the range of low to high pressure by the mixing rule with UNIQUAC.
Cross Flow Cell Filtration by a Hollow Fiber Membrane
Lee, Youl-Lark ; Chang, Ho-Nam ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 97~97
Cross flow filtration(CFF) has been successfully employed as a means of concentrating microbial cells and proteins. While the CFF of proteins has been investigated thoroughly and could be explained in terms of the gel layer theory, the investigations on the microbial cells have been limited to the applications like concentration. In this study we aimed at studying the characteristics of CFF of microbial cells more systematically. Unlike in proteins, CFF of microbial cells could not be explained in terms of the gel layer theory. Fluxes were independent of the pressure difference which exceeded a certain level, but they increased with the flowrate in the hollow fiber and were proportional to
in the cases of E. coli and yeast respectively. Gel layer theory employing the diffusivity based on the Stokes-Einstein equation was applied to the system. But the predictions were far apart from the experimental data. Thus we suggested that the causes of the discrepancies between the theory and the experiment might be due to the tubular pinch effect or other phenomena such as gel layer slippage.
Dissolution of Nickel Matte in Acidic Ferric Chloride Solution
Lee, Hak-Sung ; Kim, Byung-Kyu ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 104~104
In order to investigate the mechanism which govern the dissolution of nickel from a matte composed essentially of heazlewoodite and ferronickel, the leaching was carried out in a mixture of HCl,
, and
. In about 30 minutes of reaction, ferronickel was almost completely dissolved, and showed a high reactivity to
, with a tendency proportional to the
ion concentration. The activation energy was about 4.2 kcal/g mole and indicated a low temperature dependence.
ions were not directly involved in the reaction of nickel matte, and the concentrations of these ions did not exert any significant influence on the dissolution rate. The sulfur layer deposited on the leached particle did not give any internal diffusional resistance for both reactant and product. The rate of dissolution for heazlewoodite was independent of
ion concentration. The sulfur and the
having identical crystalline structure with heazlewoodite were formed on the particle, and the value of x was increased as the reaction proceeded. However, the formation of millerite, an intermediate, was not observed.
Anodic Oxidation of Iodide-Mediated Sulfur Dioxide Solution
Cho, Byung-Won ; Yun, Kyung-Suk ; Chung, In-Jae ;
Korean Chemical Engineering Research, volume 26, issue 1, 1988, Pages 113~113
The method of RDE and RRDE measurements was used to investigate the characteristics and the mechanism of the anodic oxidation of iodide-mediated sulfur dioxide solution. The intermediate products such as iodine and iodate were detected and the catalytic reaction mechanism which was composed of the electrochemical oxidation of iodide and the chemical reaction between sulfur dioxide and oxidized products was disclosed. The limiting current was increased with the increase of rotation speed of disk electrode which brought about the rapid reaction of iodine removal. The electrochemical oxidation of sulfur dioxide did not nearly occur. The collection efficiency in the electrochemical reaction of iodide-mediated sulfur dioxide solution was greatly lower than that in the electrochemical reaction of iodide and increased with the increase of rotation speed of electrode, which confirmed the catalytic reaction mechanism.

Special 20- and 25-Year Plans
For PFRS Tier 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 Members
(Sections 384, 384-d and 384-e)
Tier 1, 2 and 3 Members
If you are a Tier 1 or 2 member, or a Tier 3 member covered by Article 11 benefits, you are not required to contribute toward your retirement benefits, but may elect to make voluntary annuity savings contributions to the Retirement System. These contributions, plus the interest they earn, will provide you with an annuity, in addition to your regular service retirement benefit, when you retire.
Tier 5 Members*
If you are a Tier 5 member, you are required to contribute 3 percent of your reportable earnings toward your retirement benefits until you retire or have 32 years of service credit, whichever occurs first. If you are covered by a retirement plan that does not provide additional benefits beyond 20 or 25 years, you are not required to contribute 3 percent of your reportable earnings beyond 20 or 25 years of credited service, depending on your plan coverage. These mandatory contributions are not annuity savings contributions and will not provide you with an annuity when you retire.
Tier 6 Members* 1
Tier 6 members are required to contribute a specific percentage of your reportable earnings (see chart below) until you retire, unless your plan limits creditable service to 20, 25 or 32 years. Contributions are not required after the maximum service credit allowed has been reached. During the first three years of membership, your contribution rate is based on your annual wage, as provided by your employer, on your Membership Application. After this three-year period, your contribution rate will be based on what you actually earned two years prior. For part-time employees, your contribution rate is based on your annualized wage. Contribution rates are set April 1 of each year. Regardless of whether you work on a full- or part-time basis, however, the amount of your contribution is determined by applying your contribution rate to your current gross reportable earnings. These mandatory contributions are not annuity savings contributions and will not provide you with an annuity when you retire.
|Annual Wage
|Contribution Rate
|$45,000 or less
|$45,000.01 to $55,000
|$55,000.01 to $75,000
|$75,000.01 to $100,000
|More than $100,000
*There may be some exceptions. For example, PFRS members covered by a collective bargaining agreement requiring the employer to offer a non-contributory plan that was in effect on January 9, 2010, and is still in effect on the date of membership, may not contribute.

An American in Singapore
by Charles Thor
I am still amazed at how quickly my two years in Singapore went and how familiar Asia felt after those two years. I learned a lot professionally and personally about doing business, about customs and language, food, and celebrations.
I'll be talking in much more depth about my expat assignment at "Eat, Play, Live" on February 16, but below are a few excerpts of some things I learned.
In Singapore:
* You never need a sweater, jacket, or long pants … unless of course you go to the office, where the ambient temperature is between sub-arctic and arctic.
* Celebrating Chinese/Lunar New Year is essential. I love the food traditions, the bright and innocent decorations, and of course the gatherings with friends and family.
* Street food in Asia, especially Singapore, is AWESOME. BBQ chicken wings sound simple, but are complex and exquisite when done street-food style.
* Karaoke isn't just a spectator sport, it is serious business. Bad singing is an indispensable way to interact with bosses, clients and colleagues.
* Asking about age, weight, marital status and even salary is OK at work in Asia. Just don't bring that habit back to the U.S.
To hear more about my expat adventures — as well as tales from other Americans who have gone East — come to Asia Society's Young Professionals Group event, Eat, Play, Live: Stories from Expats in Asia on Thursday, February 16, in San Francisco. Wine, food and conversation will be flowing. We look forward to seeing you there!
Charles Thor is a corporate client relationship manager for HSBC Bank in San Francisco. For two years through October 2011, Charles was living in Singapore, where he worked for The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi-UFJ. He was sent there to head Bank of Tokyo's expansion and reach to U.S. multinational companies throughout Asia. He has traveled and worked extensively throughout Southeast Asia and China.

Atlantic City Online Casinos For New Jersey Residents
Welcome to Atlantic-City-Online-Casinos.com, the web's #1 directory of online casinos that accept New Jersey residents. This website is dedicated to covering all the latest news + happenings related to the online gambling movement in the Garden State and reveal options that are available across all arenas of online gambling including poker, sports gambling, online bingo, horse betting as well as websites that have real money casino games which is where we are going to start.
Jump to: Casinos (directly below) | Poker Websites | Online Sportsbooks
The State of New Jersey officially introduced its visitors and residents to a new era of gaming on November 26th, 2013 with the birth of online casino games that residents could play + win real cash from their computers and smart devices. Of the twelve land-based casinos in the state, only six (Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Tropicana Casino & Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, Trump Taj Mahal Casino & Resort, Bally's Atlantic City, Caesars Atlantic City) were a part of the opening day lineup of legal New Jersey online casinos allowed to offer as many as 240 casino games. More of both will eventually be added but there still remains another segment of this market that is overlooked... the offshore casinos which have always been friendly to the New Jersey gambler.
Since the Internet became popular, there has almost always been Internet casinos that would let New Jersey residents join + play online casino games for free or for money. Unfortunately, these websites got a bad reputation because they were not officially sanctioned by the state or federal government. Of course, some of these casino websites were not to be trusted which left gamblers not knowing who to trust. Fast forward 15 years and knowing who can be trusted is now an easy proposition because any website in operation since the late 90's + early 2000's is bound to be reputable as cheating the players (who should naturally be skeptical at first) would be a death sentence. Any resident or visitor of New Jersey on Atlantic-City-Online-Casinos.com can trust that the online casinos shown here are trustworthy. In fact, some of these online casinos have been online for almost 20 years which has really given them the time to perfect their craft... how do you think the regulated online casinos figured out how to make their product so attractive?!?!?
But, why should New Jersey residents go offshore instead of the newly minted online offerings? This question demands to be answered and we would like to start by saying that it used to be enough to simply allow NJ residents to play. Well, that is obviously not going to get it done anymore because honestly, some of the land-based online casinos have a better game selection than their offshore counterparts. This isn't always true but consider the fact that offshore casino gambling websites do not report back to any authority. This means that the government will not have record of any winnings or jackpots won when playing on the web. Depending on how much one plays + wins, this bonus can be worth thousands of dollars or more with some less than creative accounting. And while we are on the subject of bonuses, offshore websites are more likely to extend bonus promotions which can multiply the amount of the user's first deposit exponentially.
Ready to see what's available? Of course, but please do take a few moments to read the short reviews of the recommended websites. The info was acquired first hand, playing for real money and will reveal the subtle differences that separate one online casino from another. This also goes for any of the other reviews of the other websites we've listed for the other forms of NJ online gaming.
If in the market to play 21, Lucky Red is definitely one of the online casino websites that New Jersey residents should consider. With six different types of 21 games, this online casino is bound to have a variety that suits how the player wants to gamble. Blackjack rules are fairly standard with 3 to 2 payouts on Blackjack, dealer hits on a soft-17, insurance pays 2-to-1, split aces get one card + the player can double down on any two cards. The minimum wager for Blackjack is very reasonable at $1 but is also flexible with the maximum wager capped at $100 + up to three hands at a time versus the dealer so the potential to risk as much as $600 during one round of play is a possibility... If you'd like to learn more about Lucky Red, please click the preceding link.
WinPalace Casino is easily one of the best casinos online for anyone in the market to play slots online. Furthermore, this casino allows players from New Jersey to join their service for free and has as high of a success rate with credit card deposits as the regulated web-based casinos in NJ. This is extremely important because slots players who successfully make their first deposit can increase it by 400% by using the bonus code 4000FREE when depositing. The hard cap of $4,000 is very friendly and useful with the plethora of 3-reel, video + progressive slots that are available for players to enjoy. WinPalace has extremely high payout percentages at around 98% or more. Click Here to get started at WinPalace.
Veteran craps players can appreciate Club World for its software which provides smooth graphics and an easy interface for placing the numerous wagers available on a traditional craps table. Rookies can also find great value here because they will actually be able to learn how this game works and play online craps for free while they learn how the game works. This will be very useful not only with playing online but also when wagering at the craps table in-person... that is if you ever go back to AC after trying their online versions. Club World's online casino allows new users to wager as little as $1 per bet when playing for real money, but single wagers can run as high as $100 per click for those times when you are on fire!
Still not sure about having a computer chip deciding the roll of the dice, where the ball lands on the roulette wheel, or which card comes out of the shoe next? Well, it sounds like you are a candidate for live-dealer online casino play which allows the user to see actual cards being dealt, a real roulette wheel spinning, and other real-life gambling action through the use of webcams + broadband networks. Which casino do we recommend? There aren't many but the good news is that BetOnline would still be one of the best even if this market was not limited + they offer blackjack, baccarat, American + European roulette as well as a game called "Casino Hold'em". Furthermore, all of BetOnline's live dealers are attractive young ladies who are experienced and monitored by an experienced pit boss to ensure legitimacy. Click here to play live dealer casino games at BetOnline.
Another type of gaming that became available during the initial legalization of online gambling in New Jersey was poker, and in particular, Texas Hold'em. This really isn't much of a surprise considering that poker is perhaps the segment of the industry that has the most to do with player skill determining the winner rather than chance. The only real issue with allowing regulated poker sites to operate was that they needed to be fair for everyone at the table.
The following poker websites are currently accepting all players from New Jersey that are at least 18 years old. These websites are trusted, and like the casinos we recommended above, these websites do not report back to the state as where the NJ regulated online poker rooms will. In some cases, these poker websites have better tourneys with bigger guarantees, and more traffic in their ring games than their regulated counterparts.
If you love New Jersey like most residing in the Garden State do, you will find merit simply in the fact that Bovada's online poker room doesn't allow New York residents. In fact, New Jersey's neighbors to the north are one of three states not allowed there, but that doesn't hurt Bovada's traffic one bit... this website averages 12,000 players online at any time and can be double that during peak hours.
Why do so many people play online poker at Bovada?
There are numerous reasons that range from the variety of games, stake levels, guaranteed tournaments, player traffic or even features like players remaining anonymous while seated. But, one of the biggest factors in choosing Bovada's online poker room would have to be their flexibility with deposits + payouts. This website has no less than three different ways to deposit that include Visa credit + debit cards, and they also offer as many withdrawal options including having winnings sent directly into a savings/checking account at your preferred banking location.
If you'd like to learn more about this website, do not hessitate to contact Bovada or visit their website. They have multiple avenues to provide support for anyone that needs assistance whether it be opening + funding your account, or even things like game rules which can also be found in their extensive online help / tutorial section.
Even though the State of New Jersey has fought long + hard for the right to have sports gambling in their land-based casinos, they've been unsuccessful and may never actually have regulated bookmaking until laws like PASPA are repealed; the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act is the federal sports betting law that only allows Nevada, Delaware, Oregon, and Montana to regulate bookmaking. As of 2013, New Jersey is still fighting the rulings of the U.S. Federal Courts that says their self-approved betting laws that provide for bookmaking are illegal.
Knowing all that, it is safe to assume that online sports betting was not included in the recent Internet gaming push. But, there is still good news because there are online bookmakers based outside of the United States that are willing to let sports fans in New Jersey place real money wagers on their favorite teams. These will be the only option for the foreseeable future, land-based or online. In fact, the only reasonable option would be to cross the border into Delaware, but even then, bettors will not be able to do much because sports gambling laws there restrict most wagers to parlays.
Checking in again on our list of the best gaming sites that are open to players in New Jersey is Bovada's online sportsbook which continually ranks the best of those tested on an annual basis. With land-based sports betting laws being so tough, many of the big European bookmaking websites choose not to allow NJ residents or anyone from the U.S. Luckily, Bovada is one of those sites that is backed by a multi-million dollar corporation that operates + backs several gambling entities including names like Bodog which is the brand name replaced by Bovada in 2011.
What does Bovada have to wager on?
As one of the leaders in this segment of the industry, Bovada is equipped with everything the most rabid sports fan could imagine. The only place Bovada falls short is in amateur sports where they stop at the collegiate level for football, basketball, baseball and even hockey. Do not worry though because Bovada is a leader when it comes to betting NFL games online including parlays, props and even with live NFL gambling that allows users to watch + wager on games simultaneously. Additionally, Bovada provides a wonderful mobile website which allows those with popular smartphones to do everything from registering for the first time + funding betting accounts to placing a big wager on the day/night's games.
If you're ready to bet real money on sports at Bovada, simply click any of the links or banners in this section. The same can be said if you just want to get more information from Bovada's award winning support staff.
* New Jersey residents technically need to meet the age to gamble in land-based establishments set by the state
New Jersey is a state that has a proud tradition of gaming which goes much further back than the first regulated brick-and-mortar casino opened in Atlantic City back in 1978. Once dubbed the 'gaming capital of the East', New Jersey experienced a large dip in gaming revenues as the economy tanked, casinos aged and nicer, newer options became available in neighboring states which ultimately led to the legalization of the online portion of the industry.
It all got started back in January of 2011 when Raymond Lesniak sponsored a bill that would legalize gambling on the Internet for New Jersey residents that were over the age of 21. The bill in its initial form was met with opposition and was initially vetoed by Governor Chris Christie though Christie remained opened to the idea provided that necessary changes were made to be included by the law.
The main concern for Governor Christie was the potential for any business to advertise and give customers the ability to place a wager online. In other words, more regulation was needed within the legislation. This was met in a redraft of the bill, which stated that New Jersey based casinos hosting regulated gambling websites would be able to advertise Internet gaming, as where other businesses would not be not be able to allow the use of a device to facilitate online gambling so that only those casinos based in Atlantic City would be capable of benefiting.
With the changes in place, Christie signed the revised legislation on February 26th, 2013 which allows for a 10-year trial period of legal Internet gaming in the State of New Jersey that officially launched 9 months later on November 26th, 2013 after time to establish regulations, allow the AC casinos to develop software or partner with providers of established casino software, and then test those systems that are needed to mantain fairness across the board.

WESTFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Dealing with a state investigation into the spending of Westfield State's former president may end up costing the University a lot more money.
The Westfield State Board of Trustees will have to decide whether to put up to $1.2 million into a fund for future legal costs associated with the investigation into former President Evan Dobelle.
Dobelle resigned in November amid allegations that he spent lavishly on travel and other expenses.
The state Inspector General has been looking into the situation, and WSU has hired the Boston-based law firm of Fish & Richardson to provide the information sought.
The University sent a statement to 22News reading in part: "It is unfortunate that Westfield State University has needed to incur and continues to incur substantial legal costs. However, in light of suits brought by the university's former president and ongoing investigation by the state's Office of Inspector General, it is the necessary and responsible decision to engage a law firm with a high level of expertise and experience in these matters."
"Westfield State is committed to cooperating fully with state investigators, but does not have the internal capacity to respond to the Inspector General's detailed and complex requests for information," the statement continued.
If the board approves the transfer of funds, the money would come largely from a rainy day fund, and would not have an impact on programs or services, the University says.
WSU spokesperson Molly Watson told 22News that the $1.2 million does not include any of Dobelle's legal expenses, which are being reviewed by the state Attorney General.

I may be a little in love with lotions, potions, and other girly stuff. I have a ridiculous number of tube of lotions, all with different formulations and/or scents. What's the problem? OH! I have a lotion for that! For me to really fall in love with it, it needs to have a nice formulation and a great scent.
Pacifica fulfills both of these requirements. Their lotions are really rich and creamy, with heavenly scents. I have to admit, I was not familiar with the Pacifica line. So, when I received an exquisitely wrapped gift box, I was more than a little impressed!
Once I unwrapped the box, I was presented with a fantastic collection of items. There were three tubes of body butter, two Color Quench tinted lip balms, and a roll on perfume.
First up are the body butters. The varieties included Tuscan Blood Orange, Indian Coconut Nectar, and Coconut Crushed Pearl. The Tuscan Blood Orange has a very deep, rich orange scent. The Indian Coconut Nectar smells like fresh coconut, not at all like the "tropical coconut" scent that we've become accustomed to. The Coconut Crushed Pearl has a very light bronzing effect, with a bit of shimmer. This one didn't have much of a scent – it just smells kind of beachy.
As I have mentioned a time or two, I am a lip balm addict! The Color Quench lip balms are lightly tinted. They're made with coconut oil and cocoa butter, which is a little bit odd to me. There was a Coconut Nectar and a Blood Orange variety. I am not a big fan of scented lip balms, as I don't like to smell them, then lick my lips and have no payoff! However, they do smell really, really, good! The Coconut Nectar is basically a nude color, while the Blood Orange has a sheer pinky tint. Overall, they wear nicely and are very moisturizing. They're also pretty large for lip balms.
There was also a Perfume Roll On in Island Vanilla. It smells really good, and wasn't at all overpowering. I feel like it needs to be shaken up before you use it, or you just get the alcohol base. The Island Vanilla is subtly sweet. The packaging is pretty nice, too. The tube is silk-screened with a modern Florentine design and a matte bronze cap.
All of the Pacifica products are cruelty-free, which means they're never tested on animals. Many of their products are vegan, as well.
I was very impressed with the quality of the Pacifica line, and will definitely consider it in the future.
