OKAddicted to listening since 2009.
Clever, creative, unique and a very funny listen, which had me laughing out loud from beginning to end!
One of my favorite books of all time, this book is an absolute classic. Makes me wonder what would have happened if Snowball (Trotsky) had been put in charge instead of Napoleon (A.K.A. Stalin).?.
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
I am so very glad I downloaded this book, sadly however because we've just lost this great humorist. And now I've just found his books. I've heard him on "This American Life" and loved him. This book had me embarrassing myself laughing loudly while walking in to work. The first half was best but the whole book very worthwhile. Enjoy!!!!

"Favorite NES Scene"
This is it folks! This is your chance to revisit some of the most memorable moments in Nintendo games. Perhaps Mario rescuing the Princess from Bowser or a Belmont family member battling Dracula. Any 8 bit game moment is acceptable. Have fun!
All Final Images must be submitted in the finals thread!
Finished art must be posted before midnight June 30th. There is a 5 min grace period for people to finish posting their images. At that point voting will begin and last until midnight July 7th GMT time.
Notice: Challenge Rule update! Anybody wishing to have their entry included in voting MUST include at least 2 WIP stages in the WIP thread.In order to make it easier to find these WIPs when setting up voting, entrants MUST also include 2 "clickable" links direct to their own WIP stages in the relevant WIP thread.Entrants can post far more than 2 WIP stages if they like in the WIP thread, as long as 2 seperate links are included with the image posted in the Final Entry thread.Both links must show different stages of the pictures development (i.e. you can't just post a couple of quick early pencil sketches for WIP and skip to the the finished pic).Any entry not including 2 valid links (as described above) will be disqualified and not be included in the voting list.It will be the responsibility of the entrant to ensure the links are there and that they link to the correct artwork.
Even If you have posted artwork in the WIP thread, you will still be disqualified from entry if you do not supply the links to those images.
A link to show how to do this can be found here:http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/permalink/107660/107660/ShowThread.aspx#107660
*Note from the Mods* It has been brought to our attention by members of the forums that there may or may not be an issue with vote tampering and cheating within the challenges. Be assured that multiple puppeteers are being watched, as well as their marionettes. Cheating in the challenges is highly frowned upon by everyone and creating multiple false accounts is a breach of the terms and conditions of the ImagineFX site. Any accounts believed to be false will have their votes silently vetoed when tallying is done at the end of the challenge and at the mods discretion. Those thought to be cheating will also be given a private warning and the accounts thought to be false will be forwarded on to the IFX management for further investigation. Cheating will not be tolerated. Please be assured that we have checked previous challenges and re-tallied the scores and the the outcomes of each challenge so far has been fair and that the instances in those challenges thought to be tampering did not change the outcome. These challenges are meant to be fun and fair. Please keep them that way.
Deadline notice for UK entrants.Anyone in the UK will have noticed that we recently changed from GMT to BST. In the past challenges have followed whatever the current UK time was. Because this has caused some confusion for people in the past the challenges will remain on GMT regardless of what is in use in the UK.So, anybody entering from UK should have until 1am (BST) to get their entries in (unless I've confused myself which is entirely possible - must go and change that last clock too). Everyone else can carry on as normal... move along please, nothing to see here.

It has a list of the top 100 Nintendo 8-bit games, and if you click on the name of the game, it loads it up and you can play it online. Be careful, you could spend a lot of time playing when you should be drawing!
Great theme! Will surely be a stroll down the memory lane. First impulse is to do Link (something special about that first Zelda game), but we'll see...
EDIT: Couldn't resist giving it a go at once.
Scene: The very first thing that happens in the first Zelda game - Link gets his sword from the wise man in the cave.
Here's a thumbnail of a possible composition. Comments?
For those of us who missed the NES gaming period (I was not allowed a console till the Playstation!) Are we allowed to go a generation earlier or later? I spent a lot of time on my Dad's old Atari 2600 and playing SNES and Sega at friend's houses. I'd love to do something like Vanguard (Still one of my favorite games) or Zombies ate my neighbours or Star Fox.
Just a thought...
I should really be finishing this months challenge off...
Rikkumon (now a gaming nerd)
There are indeed endless possibilities, I had one image pop into my head almost immediately, I'm thinking I will be doing something mario/bowser related, possibly a more dramatic take on the final battle to rescue the princess, something like this perhaps, but I'm not 100% decided:
Its either this angle or one with Mario closeup from behind, almost out of focus, with Bowser in focus and looking huge at the end of the platform. Bowser and Mario would possibly be remade as well.
That's a great idea (chews on a mushroom and picks a fire flower...), mjasnowski! SO excited to see what images this theme will result in.
Nintendo, Star Wars Trilogy and Lone Wolf gamebooks - I blame it all on those three. Sweet eghties...

A Day in the Life of a Las Vegas casino cook's helper
Posted 28 October 2011 - 08:54 PM
Chefs wear black pants and embroidered white jackets. The more embroidery, the higher up the chef. Most chefs don't wear hats. Although a few of the more traditional chefs do put on a toque every day. I think they all should. Chef hair in food is JUST as nasty as cook hair in food.
Cooks, master cooks and helpers all wear the same thing -- rather plain white jacket and check pants. Some casinos embroider the casino name, and sometimes the kitchen. But not all of them. Cooks wear baseball caps, or skull caps. I prefer the skullcap. The better ones have ventilated tops which breathes better.
And everyone -- chefs and cooks -- wear black leather kitchen shoes. Black. Not orange Crocs. Not sneakers.
Black leather kitchen shoes. Good thing Birkenstock makes a pair. I won't wear any other shoe.
Posted 08 November 2011 - 04:05 PM
As you can guess from my on-again, off-again posts, my schedule kicks my butt. I work five nights, sleep most of the day, and then get up and have just a few hours to get ready to do it again.
The promotion kicked in recently, so there won't be many bake shop or garde manger shifts in my future. This past week, I was in the main kitchen on a swing shift -- my least favorite shift. And main kitchen has turned out to be my least favorite kitchen.
Main kitchen "cooks" all the food for the buffet and the EDR. And I'm using quotation marks because when I say "cook" I mean "reheat." We take industrial processed food out of aluminum tins, slap it into hotel pans, wrap it and steam it. That's it. It's hardly cooking at all.
My first opinion of the chef I was working under turned out to be dead wrong. At first, I thought he was a jerk.
"Cover these speed racks with bags and write the contents on the bag with a marker," chef said. He added, "Do you know how to spell?"
He also asked me a couple minutes later if I completed high school.
I answered his questions honestly, and without attitude. If he wanted to, chef could make my life miserable. We don't want that.
Later on, after he saw that he wasn't getting to me, and that I work quickly, he apologized.
"I hope you don't mind what I said before. It's just that a lot of guys come through here, and not all of them can spell."
I told him it was OK -- it's a kitchen, not a popularity contest.
After that, we worked great together -- went to break together, talked a lot about the business. He even consoled me when I burned myself this week.
I know I've mentioned the sauce bagging machine that will someday take someone's finger off. There's one in the banquet kitchen, and another one in main kitchen. Well, I burned myself but good with hot marinara a few days back. The bag ripped, and scalding-hot sauce ran down my pant leg and into my shoe. I was able to keep my pants away from my legs. But my heel got burnt. I was hopping around, holding my pants and trying to remove my kitchen shoes -- which DID NOT WANT TO BUDGE. Agonizing.
But, it turned out to be a minor first-degree burn. Chef immediately sent me on break, and I cleaned up and smeared Neosporin on the burn. By the end of the night, it didn't even bother me. I have a blister the size of a baseball card on my heel even now. But I don't feel any pain. So it's all good.
So the consolation from chef? "I did the same thing to myself once, but I burnt my dick." Ow.
Because main kitchen is attached to the buffet, I spent some time there last week, too. And I saw one of the grossest things ever. We all know that sneeze guards are basically useless -- little kids cough and sneeze on the food just fine, and I see them reaching for food with their grubby hands, instead of using tongs. Whenever I see that, I throw the entire pan of food away, and replace it with a fresh pan.
But now the tongs are suspect as well. The other day, I saw a guest eating on line. That really ticks me off. They shove food into their fat faces, touching their lips with their fingers. And then they grab the tongs and pile more food on their plates. I'm not allowed to "tut-tut" them. I just quietly replace the tongs and go about my business. But the other day, I saw someone doing that, and she had a big, nasty cold sore on her lip. Oh, great. Now we have herpes tongs. I changed out the tongs, and then took off my gloves and then washed my hands, soaked them in the sanitizer bucket, and put on new gloves. What a frikkin' pig.
So my advice for buffet goers? Wash your hands often. Use the hand sanitizer stations, often. If you see a pig eating on line and touching their nasty herpes-infected lips, give them hell about it before they can grab the tongs. I'm not allowed to say it. But since you're the guest, you can raise hell. And you should.
There's a lot of things they simply don't teach in culinary school. How to properly sharpen a knife. Most shortcuts. And the little things that make all the difference. I noticed when I started a lot of the older guys wore light cotton gloves under their latex gloves. I wondered why, until the burning incident. I probably wouldn't have burned myself if I had the extra gloves. A little goes a long way. (I'd use my welding gloves, but they're too clumsy for a lot of the work I do.)
So, I ordered 24 pairs of cotton work gloves.
Another thing I've learned is that I'm always in need of a utility knife for opening boxes, cutting plastic bags and such. Most cooks use a box cutter. But I don't like that solution -- they're not heavy-duty enough for a lot of the tasks I face. I used to just carry a rather dull Wusthof paring knife in my apron. But it's only a matter of time before I trip and impale myself.
So I wanted a folder. And it's gotta be a one-handed opening operation. (I usually have something in my other hand when I need my knife. I'd buy a switchblade, but that's a felony in this state. (What a dumb law.) So I found a spring-action "not at all a switchblade, but functionally identical" knife made by Benchmade. I only bought it last week, and it easily gets more use than all the rest of my knives combined. It's as sharp as any of my knives, deploys in less than a second, and I can immerse the knife in sanitizer before I cut cryovac chickens and similar.
So -- welding gloves, cotton gloves, and a switchblade. That's my equipment advice for this week.
Tomorrow, I'm actually cooking -- and I'm cooking in the most fun kitchen on property.
And you perverts that keep asking for sex stories, remind me to tell you about Julietta. We caught her and another cook in the walk in last week.
Posted 08 November 2011 - 04:28 PM
Because main kitchen is attached to the buffet, I spent some time there last week, too. And I saw one of the grossest things ever.
At my community college culinary academy (I was in breads and desserts), the sanitation instructor would NEVER eat at our buffet - she called it the "Barf-ay." People can be so clueless. I've seen people pick up and put down four or five devilled eggs before choosing just the right one. Yech! I'm quite sure these folks don't wash their hands before they join the buffet line.
Actually, that training pretty much ruined my enjoyment of just about any restaurant experience, sad to say. I see too much now.
I sure am enjoying your posts, ScoopKW.

But some last minute business travel has brought me to the Mirage this week! So now all of your fascinating intel suddenly has much more context for me. The scale here is absolutely amazing. The Mirage has probably 8(?) restaurants, some casual and some fine dining. Because I'm here for a conference I haven't had much time to visit anywhere else, though I had dinner last night at a local tapas place called Firefly.
I did have breakfast at the buffet this morning (my excuse is that I was running late!). It made me think of several questions I wanted to ask. Is there a difference between the staff that works in the main kitchen vs the buffet or restaurant kitchens? I saw some kitchen staff doing things behind the scenes in the buffet and I wondered if this was considered being on show and therefor regarded differently than regular kitchen duty.
I know you said that the fine dining is different and somewhat separate from the main staff. How separate? Does the main kitchen ever support them or is it held as a completely separate enterprise?
Quite a few of these mega hotel resorts seem to be owned by the same company. Are they each run as completely separate, or is there motion between the staff when hotels have the same parent company?
Thank you so much for this topic! So much fun.

There are more kitchens than you see. The Mirage has a bakeshop, a banquets kitchen, the "main" kitchen (which "cooks" the food for the buffet), an EDR kitchen, and probably others.
Fine dining is usually completely separate. Some of the fine-dining venues are part of the resort, and staffed by people like me. But there is no celebrity chef in charge of those places. They're just more upscale versions of regular casino restaurants. Usually they're staffed by master cooks.
Others -- particularly the ones with a "celebrity" name attached to it are as separate from the resort as Vatican City is from Italy. The fine dining workers must adhere to the resort's rules, but they're paid by Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, etc., and NOT by the resort. They do not want regular casino cooks in their kitchens. It's not even an option. But, casino cooks have first crack at any job openings, before the job is posted on monster.com and similar.

Great writing, and love the insight into the casino food biz.
When living there I was friends with the managing chef (proper title??) of one of the 'nice' casinos. Every couple of months he'd invite a few friends for breakfast in a private room where he'd cook just for us. I took one tour of a few of the kitchens (buffet, staff kitchen, etc) and was monstrously impressed with the scale at which they produced food - astonishing, really. We were really impressed the week that the 'W' family spent wining/dining him trying to hire him for the (then new) property being built.
Keep it up, loving it! This would make a great book some day. (and I get a cut of the royalties for the suggestion, right?) ;)

The Unrelenting Carnivore
Customer to clerk in a clothing store, "Do you have these in a size for people who actually eat?"
Posted 06 January 2012 - 12:21 AM
I've been using this down time to finish up a bunch of woodworking projects. Just built an acoustic guitar, and I'm almost done with an electric guitar. I don't know how to play, but I plan on buying Rocksmith when that comes out for the PC and using that to teach myself. (I could buy the XBox version today, but that would require buying an XBox.)
I did have a nice shift with Jackie, "Could you find me a broom," on New Years Eve. We plated a couple thousand high-dollar entrees for the party. Then I drove him home so he didn't have to take the bus. And I even made it home in time to watch the fireworks from my balcony.
What I really want to write about is the sort of people who work with me at the casino -- the engineers, stewards, pit bosses, cocktail waitresses and housekeepers. But that's off topic, so I have to wait until interesting things happen in the kitchen. And lately, it's been awfully dull.

But, since I'm no tease -- the celebrity in question came from the sports world. And every sports fan in America knows and respects this person. The dish? A very nice salad. I was working the cold line yesterday -- luck of the draw.
But other than that, it's been another boring week. I really need a banquet for 5,000 to get the blood pumping....

I don't know where people like Junior end up. But they aren't working in Las Vegas casinos. Not for more than one shift, at least.
They probably end up somewhere in the place I work for, ha.
Your stories are very amusing, particularly since it seems like where I work is a bit similar down to the EDR (never thought to call it that though), different dedicated kitchens and the "easy money"... They just call the birdbaths "the bowl" over here (even if it's the big square one on wheels for fruit washing and such) I'm in the bakery pk at the moment though. Ours is split; morning shift does cakes, pies, cookies, some pastry. At night we do the breads and danish.
edit; how did they get that picture on my icon...?

The father of Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend has warned the athlete will have to "live with his conscience" if he is lying about how he killed her.
Barry Steenkamp said the Paralympian will "suffer alone" if his claim that he shot 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp accidentally is false.
But Steenkamp told the Afrikaans-language Beeld newspaper he might be able to forgive Pistorius one day if the double-amputee is telling the truth.
His remarks were issued as the athlete appeared to issue his first public statement after being released on bail on Friday charged with premeditated murder over the Valentine's Day killing of the model.
In a tweet apparently signed by the athlete, using his elder brother Carl's Twitter account, he thanked those who had prayed for the families involved: "Thank-you to every person that has prayed for both families, Osca."
The Paralympian, known worldwide as "Blade Runner", was granted bail following a four-day hearing in Pretoria, South Africa, a week after he shot Steenkamp dead at his home.
The athlete, who broke down in tears as chief magistrate Desmond Nair announced his decision, was later seen arriving at his uncle Arnold's home.
Pistorius, 26, claims he shot Steenkamp through a bathroom door thinking she was an intruder.
Prosecutors say he intended to kill the model, and he has been charged with premeditated murder.
After nearly two hours describing the reasons for his decision, Nair told the packed courtroom on Friday that he was granting bail until the next hearing on June 4.

The median weight gain for recent quitters over a four-year period was about 6 pounds. Despite this, researchers found quitters had a significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
Recent smokers who quit were about 53 percent less likely to have cardiovascular disease than those who continued to smoke, Clair said. Long-term quitters had a 54 percent lower risk, despite weight gain.
These results applied to only those in the study without diabetes. While the researchers also looked at data for people WITH diabetes, they did not find a significant association between quitting smoking and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Clair believes the study sample was too small and that more people would reveal results similar to the non-diabetic results.
The smoking data in the Framingham study was self-reported, so participants' could have fudged the truth on their smoking habits. And as mentioned earlier, the exact time period for when participants' quit smoking was undetermined.
The study also did not capture any relapses that the smokers may have had. "Smokers generally need several attempts before successfully quitting," the study authors wrote.
One other limitation to the study is its lack of diversity -- the majority of the participants were white, so the authors aren't sure if their results would translate to a wider population.
The takeaway
People who quit smoking can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. Period.
"The message of this study is that weight gain following smoking cessation does not offset the benefits of smoking cessation on cardiovascular diseases," Clair said. "Doctors should advise all their patients to quit smoking."

Web edition: August 27, 2012
Neil Armstrong landed and walked on the moon, the first of just a dozen men to do so. He died in Ohio on August 25, at age 82.
"Houston, Tranquility Base here," he told NASA's mission control after piloting the Apollo 11 lunar module to the surface on July 20, 1969. "The Eagle has landed."
Six and a half hours later, Armstrong climbed down the spacecraft's ladder and stood for a moment on one of its saucer-shaped footpads. Then he stepped lightly to the left and into the lunar dust. "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," he said to hundreds of millions of people watching the live television broadcast. (The "a" in his comment was not audible to those on Earth, but Armstrong later insisted he said it, and it has remained a controversy.)
Armstrong's life was forever defined by that day, but he defined himself foremost as an engineer. He once called himself "a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer — born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in the steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace and propelled by compressible flow."
Armstrong was born and grew up in Wapakoneta, Ohio, where he worked odd jobs to pay for flying lessons and earned his student pilot's license on his sixteenth birthday. With a U.S. Navy scholarship he went on to study aeronautical engineering at Purdue University and then earn a master's in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California. Armstrong flew 78 combat missions for the Navy during the Korean War.
In 1955 he joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the predecessor to NASA, as a test pilot. Seven years later he joined NASA's second astronaut class and got the job of piloting the 1966 Gemini 8 mission, the first docking between two spacecraft in orbit. But a thruster malfunctioned, sending the docked spacecraft into a nauseating spin. Armstrong disengaged from the second craft and got Gemini under control for a safe return to Earth.
Those nerves of steel — and experience flying more than 200 kinds of aircraft — came in handy many times during Armstrong's career.
NASA assigned him to be commander of Apollo 11, the first attempted moon landing. While Michael Collins orbited overhead, Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin descended to the surface in the lunar module. Armstrong, though, saw that the computer was taking them towards a boulder-strewn landing site; he overrode the computer's instructions and piloted the module down with just seconds of propellant left to spare.
"You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue," mission control told him. "We're breathing again. Thanks a lot."
Armstrong and Aldrin roamed the lunar surface for more than two hours, picking up 47.5 pounds of rocks and soil and leaving behind a seismometer, an American flag and other mementos. On returning to earth, they and Collins spent three weeks in quarantine in case they had brought back any extraterrestrial microbes.
After Apollo, Armstrong worked at a NASA desk job, then retired from the agency in 1971. He returned to Ohio and taught aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati for eight years, then worked in the aerospace business. Armstrong continued to serve on various policy committees, including NASA's panel investigating the 1986 explosion of the space shuttle Challenger and a National Academy of Engineering group on the greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century.
After 1972's Apollo 17 became the last NASA mission to carry moonwalkers, Armstrong wanted the agency to return astronauts to the moon. In 2008, for NASA's 50th anniversary, he told an audience that "the goal is far more than just going faster and higher and further. Our goal — indeed our responsibility — is to develop new options for future generations: options in expanding human knowledge, exploration, human settlements and resource development, outside in the universe around us."
NASA currently has no way to get astronauts to the moon even if it wanted to. The agency is developing a heavy-lift rocket with an eye to sending astronauts to Mars someday.
Armstrong died "following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures," according to a statement from his family. He had undergone quadruple bypass heart surgery in the weeks before his death.
Armstrong's family asked the public to "honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty." As well as one more thing: "The next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."Suggested Reading

Comment posted Lochgilphead primary pupil's internet exposure of poor school meals goes viral by Michael Banks.

- Argyll and Bute Council settle expensively with former Communications Manager
Yes Newsroom, where is your evidence that these spy accounts existed? I distinctly recall reading on here that 'Jo Smith operated several spy accounts', maybe you just dreamed it. - Argyll and Bute Council settle expensively with former Communications Manager
Actually Newsroom, you just read some innocuous e-mails and put your own spin on them. As others have pointed out it was Oban FM's decision, Smith had nothing to do with it. - Council advertises Communications Manager job – so what happened with Jo Smith?
No point in asking Newsie to recap anything as she clearly has no clue and on this matter there is the truth and the is the rubbish that Newsie comes up with.According to the OT she was dismissed in August after being cleared of all the 'false' allegations of using spy accounts to spy on critics of the council. She was dismissed for bring the council into disrepute for using the word 'spy' in a presentation. I summarise there, but that is the gist of it.
Because Newsie is too lazy or too stupid i dug this out of the councils archives. look for yourself
So in other words, there were no spy accounts, never, no evidence of them, no victims, no spying, full stop. For some reason Newsie refuses to accept this fact, probably because it makes her look rather foolish.
- Council advertises Communications Manager job – so what happened with Jo Smith?
Poor Newsie, hasn't got a clue, but what's new? - More self-inflicted damage on Facebook
Well Crazy it looks like she has removed it. It was a picture of a young woman doing what young women do in a jokey manor. It had absolutely no bearing on her ability to do her job. It was buried deep in her profile so must have taken some digging out by some sad individual. I wonder who that was? No doubt she is too busy frantically searching for more photos on some other unsuspecting councillors private life.

DiverticulitisDiverticulitis is a condition in which pouches (diverticula) that form in the wall of the large intestine (colon) become inflamed or infected. Symptoms can include pain, fever, and other signs of infection and may last from a few hours to several days. Diverticulitis is usually treated with a liquid diet, antibiotics for infection, and pain relievers. Hospitalization or even surgery to remove the diseased part of the colon may be needed if complications such as an abscess or peritonitis develop or if repeated attacks are not helped by other treatment.

text: Earlier this week Wairarapa Fishery Officers seized a motor vehicle and a quantity of paua from two Palmerston North men on the outskirts of Dannevirke as the men returned from Akitio Beach. A search of their vehicle on Monday afternoon revealed a total of 175 undersize paua and some dive gear. The smallest paua weighed only 39 grams. Ray McKay, Ministry of Fisheries Field Operations Manager for Hawke's Bay and the Wairarapa, said that two men would face charges under the Fisheries Act 1996. Mr McKay said it was disappointing that despite the ongoing publicity that this unlawful activity attracted in the media, some sections of the public were still not getting the message that taking such large quantities of paua could seriously affect the sustainability of the resource and contribute to localised depletion in these areas. "With summer almost upon us, Fishery Officers, including the district's Honorary Fishery Officer network, will start targeting low tides and where blatant offending of this nature is detected, those caught will be prosecuted," he said. "Rules relating to fishing activity are designed to protect fisheries and it is the responsibility of all New Zealanders to contribute to managing fisheries resources to ensure there is enough fish for future generations." The daily bag limit for paua is 10 per gatherer per day and the minimum size is 125 millimetres in length. Members of the public should call 0800 4 POACHER (0800 476 224) if they see anything suspicious or illegal on or near our beaches.

Mac Uninstaller is a Mac OS X native software that allows you to uninstall application or just find changes made in a disk or folder by taking snapshots of files system hierarchy and comparing them between two dates.
Uninstaller can be used on any PowerPC or Intel Mac computer running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
What to look for the Best Mac Uninstaller?
ü Uninstaller must be built with the latest Mac OS X technologies and uses more efficient APls to run as fast and secure as possible.
ü Uninstaller must use two different scan engines in support to index to allow the fastest scan possible.
ü Uninstaller can be launched in root mode, with administrator privileges, to index and find later changes for ALL in files presented on disks including invisible ones and those located in user forbidden locations.
ü Uninstaller allows you to edit, save and re-open lists of new, modified and removed items for later use. Indexes can also be exported to allow browsing, searching and advanced comparisons.
ü Unlike other uninstall applications; uninstaller for Mac should be the only software which can find ALL changes made on a disk between two dates. This is related to the way uninstaller works: taking and comparing file system hierarchy snapshots instead of doing hazardous searches from some file names in fixed locations.
ü Uninstaller can archive and restore item to create installers, allow future re-installations or prevent mistakes before deleting items.
ü Uninstaller can create uninstall shell scripts which will remove a particular set of files when executed. This allows you to create a quick uninstaller bound to a particular software or automated uninstalls for computer administrators.
What's new?
Version 1.14
ü NEW: Uninstaller may be downloaded for a free 15-day trial period and tested without any other restrictions.
ü Bug fix: potential scan crash on PPC computers running Mac OS X 10.4 with really deep filke system hierarchy.
ü Bug fix: old scans collect not displaying results.

Has the secular academy a role to play in inter-faith dialogue? For me this is a very personal question. A few years ago I retired as a professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester.

Highlights: Antarctica (Antarctica Camp, South Pole)
This luxury adventure allows you to experience the hidden interior of Antarctica in only three days - with an option of flying on to the South Pole (not included)! Departing Cape Town by luxury jet you will fly five hours over the iceberg filled Southern Ocean. Watch the African sky turn from night to day as you pass the polar circle into 24hrs continuous daylight. After landing on the runway you will be driven in specially modified 4x4s to Kensington Antarctica camp, perched near the lip of a 200 ft ice cliff and looking out to the distant sea. The camp is totally unique and overlooks some of the most spectacular scenery on earth. It is powered by solar energy and run according to strict ecological guidelines. Your days will include a hike across ice caves, a flight by DC3 to visit the largest Emperor Penguin colony, a polar expedition flying to the geographic South Pole, mountain climbing and skiing. All of this in the comfort of our insulated canvas chalets with soft warm beds, a gourmet chef from South Africa serving three full meals per day, and drinks looking over the endless ice. This is a rare combination of extreme adventure in luxurious style. Note: flights and itinerary are subject to weather conditions and may be shifted by a day or two. Guests must be available in Cape Town one day prior to departure for a trip briefing, to meet their guides and fellow travelers, as well as a welcome cocktail party.
Upon arrival into Cape Town, you will be met at the door of the plane and escorted through Customs and Immigration, avoiding any queues.
Upon arrival you will receive all of your neccessary documents for your trip which contains a detailed personalized itinerary, maps, restaurant suggestions, Top Tips for exploring each city or region and a 24 hour concierge service (for restaurant reservations, spa treatments, child minders, day tours etc).
This afternoon we will be collecting you from your hotel for the pre-departure briefing. This briefing will explain in detail what you can expect on this Antarctica expedition. It will cover the details of the flight, how to pack, what each item of kit actually does and many other aspects of your journey. It is the perfect forum for you to ask any questions you may have, from how to wash in Antarctica, to what you can expect to do each day once at the camp. After the briefing we will be inviting you to a cocktail party to get to know the other guests.
you will be transfered between the airport and your hotel with your Antartica team escorts.
Five hour flight across the Southern Ocean to a maintained ice runway in Droning Maud Land. The choice of plane varies according to the weather and logistics. We use an Illuyshin-IL76, Falcon 900, or a Gulfstream IV.
Arrive at the Russian research station landing strip, a maintained ice runway in full time daylight. Meet your guides and transfer to the camp in specialist 4x4s.
At camp, our guides offer a range of activities to choose. We do photography workshops using the ice grottos as fascinating backdrops to the images. There is rock climbing on offer, scaling challenging routes on the northern side of the nearby nunatak mountain. There is also a medium difficulty trek to the high point of the Oasis, which offers 360-degree views and a chance to take in the space and serenity which Antarctica offers in abundance.
Kensington Antarctica is the only luxury camp based in the interior of Antarctica. Old world luxury is mixed with modern technology to create 7 heated sleeping domes with two fluffy soft beds. The dining area, lounge, library and kitchen are spread across three huge dome tents that are 9 meters in diameter. With only 12 clients at a time, you will be amongst the very few to experience the interior of Antarctica. In the 24hrs of continuous daylight and with genuine polar explorers as your personal guides, each day is tailored to suit each person at camp. Trek down to the surreal ice waves, ride a specialized 4x4 across the endless ice, visit research stations, and camp out on the sea ice overnight like a polar explorer. If you're looking for more adventure, our guides can lead you up unclimbed mountains or teach you kite-skiing across the infinite horizons of ice. The camp is run on extremely strict environmental protocols.
We drive about 90km in the specialist 4x4s to the edge of the ice and the beginning of open water. Here at the 200ft ice 'barrier' (as it was named by the early explorers), you will see icebergs frozen in strange formations and see a totally different aspect of Antarctica. There is also a strong chance of meeting Adelie penguins. These are smaller than the emperors but are beautiful creatures that are equally tenacious, having to trek vast distances on their little legs in order to find land to be able to breed.
It is an early start as we drive up to the ice runway and board a ski-equipped Bassler plane to fly 2 hours across Antarctica to an immense Emperor Penguin colony. The flight itself is spectacular, crossing a multitude of unexplored mountain peaks and catching views of the infinite high polar plateau, before circling down to land at the site of the penguins.
With over 6,000 breeding pairs and their chicks, the colony is vast. We are the only tourists to ever go there and you will have the entire day to watch these awesome animals in their natural habitat. Encircled by towering icebergs, the penguins are completely unafraid of humans and often come up very close to you, whilst their fluffy chicks are equally inquisitive. So few people ever visit such a vibrant colony at this stage of the penguin's complicated breeding cycle and it is truly awe-inspiring to see it. They really are the real life stars of "March of the Penguins"!
Trek to the magnificent ice waves about an hour and a half from the camp. These colossal ice structures are as surreal as they are beautiful, standing higher than houses with a series of ice tunnels beneath them. We spend the day gently trekking through this maze of interlocking waves, around crystal blue lakes and old compacted ice that is a searing, iridescent blue colour. Picnicking at a high point that overlooks the entire coastline, we trek back to camp for a more relaxing evening.
The highlight of your journey is a flight to the Geographic South Pole. After breakfast there will be a weather forecast check along the route to the Pole. If
weather service gives a "green light" you will load on the plane and the adventure will begin. The flight will be in a modified DC3 Basler with spartan seats but good views. The distance to the South Pole from Antarctica Camp is about 2,140 km. You will be flying over the mountains of Queen Maud
Land and then above the Antarctic Plateau so prepare your camera for the stunning views!
At 83 degrees South there will be a landing for refueling high on the Antarctic plateau. The altitude is 2,500 meters above sea level, but air is less dense so it will feel like 3,000 meters elevation. Refueling will take about 40 min and you will have time to get out of the plane and stretch your legs. It is still 800 km (or 3 hours flight) to the Pole. From the air you'll get an appreciation for the immense scale and beauty of Antarctica.
Seven hour flight across 2,100km to the South Pole.
At the South Pole you will land on a runway of the American Amundsen-Scott research station. The station takes its name from the first explorers to reach the South Pole: Norwegian Roald Amundsen and British Capt. Robert Scott. On arrival you will complete a Round-the-World trip, walking around a symbolic pole at the Earth's axis, to celebrate your achievement.
Note: South Pole Station lives on NZ time which is 13 hours ahead of GMT (Antarctic Camp time) and visitors are only allowd during their "daytime". For you, this will be a 10-11 pm arrival. The group will be met by a NSF (National Science Foundation) representative and taken on a guided tour of the station. There is a souvenir shop at the station and a post office where you can send postcards and buy patches, sweaters, T-shirts, glasses, stamps and other souvenirs. The shop only accepts USD. Expect to stay at the South Pole about 2-3 hours. After that the group will fly about 10 min to a South Pole fuel cache and camp for a good night sleep.
The rough camp is near the Amundsen-Scott South Pole research station. You will be comfortable and well looked after as we experience camping in one of the wildest places on earth! As you look out of your tent window, you will be able to truly identify with the early explorers such as Scott and Shackleton as they raced to reach this hallowed place. This camp overnight is with sleeping bags and specialist tents, dinner and breakfast will be provided.
Seven hour flight from the South Pole to Whichaway camp.
After a good sleep and breakfast the plane will return back to 83 S for refueling, and continuing on to Antarctica Camp. In the evening you will return to the camp where you can relax and share the stories of your trip, drinking tea or tasty South African wine in the mess tent with your new friends.
Enjoy a last breakfast and pack up your gear for a morning transfer back to the airstrip and the private jet. Take a last few photos before saying goodbye to the majesty of this seventh continent. Savor the return crossing above a multitude of icebergs and open ocean. You will always have a lasting memory of Antarctica that will remain with you for the rest of your days.
Five hour flight across the Southern Ocean to Cape Town. The choice of plane varies according to the weather and logistics. We use an Illuyshin-IL76, Falcon 900, or a Gulfstream IV.

Contrary to USA Today, malware can be detected and cleaned without reinstalling Windows. I have cleaned thousands of machines of malware. If a scan by both with updated definitions finds no problems you should be fine Monday. I suggest using anti-virus AVG (free), Norton and Trend Micro. For spyware I suggest superantispyware which is free.
If the program is still on your computer Monday you will not be disconnected from the internet you will just not be able to go to sites you have not been to recently (the addresses still stored in your machine). DNS is the program on the internet that allows us to use words for names of web sites instead of number addresses. DNS looks up the number address for the names.
To go to my web site not using DNS you would have to know and type in a number like 192.168.2.1, using DNS you can just type in dwightwatt.com and DNS figures out it is 192.168.2.1 and goes and gets the page. DNS is what made the internet usable by the masses starting in the early 90s. Prior you had to use numbers and only geeks used it since invention in 1969.

During any time of year, NorthSide Community Bank and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) want consumers to have the information they need before they leave home to keep their money safe.
Financial professionals agree that the safest and most convenient way to travel with your money is to take a small amount of cash with you. It's also a good idea to carry a debit, credit or ATM card. These cards are convenient while traveling because they are easy to carry, easy to use and often offer the lowest fees and the best exchange rates.
However, travelers still need to plan ahead to be prepared. To help, we offer these tips to consumers about what they need to take care of before they take off:
For your protection against debit card fraud, NorthSide Community Bank has restricted transactions originating in countries with a high level of fraudulent transaction.
Click here to see a listing of restricted countries. If you are traveling to one or more of these countries just call us first!
A computer automated phone scam has impacted Illinois bank customers. Debit card customers are receiving automated telephone calls stating their debit card account has been breached, and told they need to "reset" their information in order to use their account.
The scam works this way: the telephone rings, and the caller ID shows "not available" or "private number". An automated recording states, "Your debit card account has been breached. You need to reset your account by following these steps." The automated recording states to press "1" to begin.
By pressing "1" a computer tracking system has been activated. The customer is then told to enter the 16-digit card number and the expiration date. The automated voice then asks for the three digit Customer Verification Value Code (CVV code) located on the back of the card, followed by the four-digit PIN code. The scammers now have all the information they need to access the debit card account.
It is important to remember not to give out personal information over the phone. This includes passwords and PIN numbers.
NO banks ever use an automated system to ask for this type of customer information.
If you believe you have unknowlingly participated in this scam, you are urged to contact the bank immediately.
With fraud on the rise, consider the Northside Community Bank IdentityIQ product
In 2009, more than 11 million adult consumers in the US were affected by Identity Theft – up 12% from 2008. Identity Theft represents 26% of all complaints to the Federal Trade Commission and has been its most frequently reported crime for the last 8 years. Women and young adults, aged 18-29, are the most frequent victims.

New York passes first U.S. gun control laws since massacre; expanding assault weapons ban and background checks
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Jumping out ahead of Washington, New York state enacted the nation's toughest gun restrictions Tuesday and the first since the Connecticut school massacre, including an expanded assault-weapon ban and background checks for buying ammunition.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the measure into law less than an hour after it won final passage in the Legislature, with supporters hailing it as a model for the nation and gun-rights activists condemning it as a knee-jerk piece of legislation that won't make anyone safer and is too extreme to win support in the rest of the country.
"Common sense can win," Cuomo said. "You can overpower the extremists with intelligence and with reason and with common sense."
Owners of an estimated 1 million previously legal semiautomatic rifles, such as the Bushmaster model used to kill 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Conn., a month ago, will be allowed to keep their weapons but will have a year to register them with police. The sale of any more such weapons is prohibited.
"When there's a pileup of events, when the federal government does not do it, the state of New York has to lead the way," said state Assemblyman Joseph Lentol, a Brooklyn Democrat and co-sponsor.
In addition to outlawing a broader array of military-style weapons, the measure restricts ammunition magazines to seven rounds, down from the current 10, creates a more comprehensive database of people barred from owning guns, and makes New York the first state to require background checks to buy bullets. The system will also help flag customers who buy large amounts of ammo.
In another provision, therapists, doctors and other mental health professionals will be required to tell state authorities if a patient threatens to use a gun illegally. The patient's weapon could then be taken away.
Richard Aborn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City, said Cuomo clearly understood gun violence is a complex issue requiring broader solutions than simply banning a particular weapon. "I think that's an important message for the nation," he said.
In a statement, the National Rifle Association said: "These gun control schemes have failed in the past and will have no impact on public safety and crime."
"While lawmakers could have taken a step toward strengthening mental health reporting and focusing on criminals, they opted for trampling the rights of law-abiding gun owners in New York, and they did it under a veil of secrecy in the dark of night," the NRA said. Continued...
President Barack Obama will unveil his own proposals in response to the Newtown tragedy on Wednesday. He favors sweeping gun legislation, including a ban on assault weapons. But because of powerful opposition from the gun lobby, he is said to be weighing 19 steps he could take through executive action alone.
Those could include ordering stricter action against people who lie on gun-sale background checks, seeking to ensure more complete records in the federal database, and striking limits on federal research into gun use.
New York's law passed the state Senate, which is run by a Republican-dominated coalition, 43-18 Monday night. The Democrat-controlled Assembly approved it 104-43 Tuesday afternoon.
Republicans complained the measure was rammed through the Legislature and infringes on the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
"A lot of people say, 'Why do you need these guns?"' said Assemblyman James Tedisco, a Schenectady Republican. "It's part of the freedoms and liberties we have. ... It's for our public safety. It's to protect us from our own government."
He said the bill was dangerous because it would give people a "false sense of well-being."
"You are using innocent children killed by a madman for your own political agenda," he said. "You are actually making people less safe."
Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, questioned whether other states or the federal government would follow New York's lead and said he expects the law to be challenged in court.
Previously, New York state law on assault weapons banned semiautomatics that have detachable magazines and at least two military-type features, such as a pistol grip, folding stock, muzzle flash suppressor or bayonet mount. The new law outlaws weapons with just one of those features.
It also requires background checks for even private gun sales, except those among immediate family. Continued...
In addition, it says handgun owners must renew their licenses every five years, and it increases prison sentences for using guns in various crimes or taking them onto school grounds.
"By making this a priority, the governor has not only saved lives but will hopefully inspire leaders in Washington also to take swift action," said Dan Gross, president of the national Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
In a concession to the pro-gun side, local authorities will be allowed to withhold the identities of registered gun owners — an issue that erupted recently when a suburban New York City newspaper published the names and addresses of gun owners in its readership area.
The New York legislation sparked spirited discussion among customers at the Buffalo Gun Center in the suburb of Cheektowaga, where business was so brisk that people had to wait in line in freezing temperatures just to get in the door.
"It's ridiculous. It's absolutely — how to put it nicely — it's Prince Andrew Cuomo's bid for the White House," said Jim Hanley, who was waiting to buy another handgun. "I want to do it before the right is taken away. Andrew Cuomo and Barack Hussein Obama are two best gun salesmen in the history of the world."
Associated Press writers Michael Gormley in Albany and Carolyn Thompson in Buffalo contributed to this report.
