WSOP 3-Bet: Trashing Tobey, Insane Matusow Penalty, Brazilians Amped
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a pass, dribble and cheeky nutmeg right through the legs of the afternoon poker news goalkeeper.
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a pass, dribble and cheeky nutmeg right through the legs of the afternoon poker news goalkeeper.
If you have a suggestion for a future 3-Bet piece feel free to leave us a note in the comments.
In today's Daily 3-Bet we'll take a look Molly Bloom shredding Tobey Maguire in her new book, Matusow getting hit with a controversial penalty and Brazilians in Las Vegas for the WSOP are pretty darn excited for the start of the World Cup.
1) Bloom Rips Maguire in Molly's Game
We've been waiting for so called "Poker Princess" Molly Bloom's tell-all memoir about the massive Hollywood game she ran to drop and a snippet released to Vanity Fair did not disappoint.
In the excerpt Bloom talks about starting the infamous game that allegedly included Ben Affleck, Tobey Maguire, Leonardo Decaprio, Todd Phillips and Jamie Gold (Bloom used first names).
Interestingly it's Maguire who came across less than flattering. Apparently he demanded the dealer use his personal shuffling machine, generally had a bad attitude while losing and even propositioned Bloom to bark like a seal for a tip.
Suddenly it all makes sense that he used to dodge our camera at the WSOP by covering his face.
You can check out the Vanity Fair article here. The book comes out June 24.
Some of the other tidbits Bloom drops in the article:
- Director Todd Phillips was frequently the biggest tipper
- Jamie Gold was one of the few pros allowed in the game
- Quite often there was millions on the table
- Bloom denied pros entry, even when they offered her cash just to get in
2) Matusow Hit with "One of the Worst Rulings Ever"
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow is known for being one of the loudest players at the table but last night was apparently too much and the WSOP gave him a one round penalty for excessive celebration in the $2.5k Omaha-8/Stud-8.
The entire poker world seems to disagree with the ruling.
Matusow himself said it was one of the worst penalties he had ever seen called at the poker table.
Matusow, who is a former dealer, said he got excited after raking in a 200k pot and cheered "Yes" several times. He was then hit with a one round penalty. He claimed it was unlikely poker stars Daniel Negreanu or Phil Ivey would have received the same treatment.
Joe Tehan, Owais Thomas Keller and even Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro have voiced their support for Matusow:
Worst penalty I've ever seen was given tonight to @themouthmatusow. So unfair, especially when we're playing for so much $$.— Joseph (@JoeTehan) June 12, 2014
Mike Matusow is one of the reasons the @wsop is famous. His outgoing personality attracts a lot of fans. To give him a penalty for cheering.— Owais Ahmed (@oerockets) June 12, 2014
Players should stand up and voice out against staff that make bad decisions in key moments like this. UNACCEPTABLE @WSOPTD— Owais Ahmed (@oerockets) June 12, 2014
@themouthmatusow Mike is the king!— Dave Navarro (@DaveNavarro) June 12, 2014
3) World Cup Begins, Brazilian Poker Pros Understandably Excited
The FIFA World Cup always has a special place at the WSOP as the international crowd flocks to TV sets scattered around the Amazon Room to support their home country.
This year no one is more excited than the Brazilian poker pros who had to leave home just as the World Cup was starting to make a living playing poker at the WSOP.
It's going to be a tough month for the Brazilian pros but at the very least Andre Akkari seems to have recruited the WSOP's Nolan Dalla to the yellow, blue and green.

• My Christmas Experience in the Czech Republic •
This time of year is gorgeous, fun and beautiful for many reasons. Here in Australia, we are expecting a very hot Christmas Day with a current prediction of 36 degrees Celsius. I have experienced almost every Christmas of my life in the blistering Australian heat, and I most certainly do love it.
However, when we spend such a long time hearing about White Christmases and seeing images of snow and singing songs of blazing warm fires, the image of Christmas in our minds and our own reality is oddly differing. So, when I experienced my first real winter Christmas, I absolutely loved it. The snow was so beautiful and I enjoyed feeling like I was living in a real Christmas card or film. Here are some of my top Christmas experiences in Prague!
❄ Drinking Svařák (Mulled Wine) ❄
It was a freezing cold day, I was shivering away in all of my layers and huge coat, and the mulled wine was so deliciously warm. It just felt special and Christmassy and wintry all in one.
❄ Seeing Snow covering the houses in the morning ❄
It doesn't get cold enough in Adelaide for the city to experience snow, so this was amazing for me. I had seen snow once before in New Zealand, but never at such a scale before. It was dusted on the tops of the houses and trees, and the little plants and berries were laden with icicles. It felt like a fairytale.
❄ Going to the Christmas Markets and the huge beautiful Christmas Tree ❄
If it isn't already clear that I love Christmas, it will be now. It was SO MAGICAL to see the massive Christmas tree in Prague, which was really tall and it made me feel really small looking up at it from the ground. The markets were incredibly aesthetically pleasing, and yummy warm foods were prepared and sold in the little red coloured stalls. The city surrounding the markets is so old and beautiful, with stunning architecture. It was perfect.
❄ Seeing the Christmas Lights in Prague ❄
There are Christmas lights all around, especially in Wenceslas Square. When it gets dark at around 3-4pm, it is amazing to leave the shops or leave your work and see the Christmas lights all around.
❄ Having a real Christmas Tree ❄
My grandmother has usually had a real Christmas tree throughout my childhood, but at home we mostly had a fake one. This is much more common in Australia, where the weather is obviously very different. Having a real Christmas tree was lovely, and the smell of the pine needles was absolutely divine.
❄ Getting to wear warm winter clothing ❄
In Adelaide, I don't often get to wear really warm winter clothing as whilst it can get quite chilly, it is never truly freezing cold. People in Europe will probably think I am insane for saying this, but I thought it was really fun putting on all those winter layers and having my big snow boots and little beanie and gloves. It was special for me, and I loved it!
❄ Going to the Carols and Christmas Celebrations in Karlštejn ❄
I am only really familiar with English-language Christmas Carols, so I found it very interesting to hear Czech Christmas carols. We had a really lovely time listening to Carols and exploring the city of Karlštejn and eating yummy foods sold at the stalls. They had a nativity scene which was so scenic and beautiful. The Castle was amazing and the musicians were very talented.
And those were my fantastic Christmas experiences in the Czech Republic. Hope you enjoyed reading this and that you're having a lovely Christmas season.

Milutinovic Cleared of Kosovo Crimes
"Will the Accused Milutinović please rise.
For all the reasons I have summarised, the Trial Chamber finds you, Milan Milutinović, to be NOT GUILTY, pursuant to Articles 7(1) and 7(3) of the Statute, of counts 1 to 5 of the Indictment. Pursuant to Rule 99(A) of the Rules, the Chamber orders that you be released from the United Nations Detention Unit immediately upon the completion of the necessary modalities, without prejudice to any further proceedings that may follow Trial Chamber III's determination under the final paragraph of the Judgement in relation to the three outstanding crime sites in the Indictment."
A four-judge panel at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) cleared former Serb President Milan Milutinovic of all charges in the case of
Prosecutor v. Milan Milutinović, Nikola Šainović, Dragoljub Ojdanić, Nebojša Pavković, Vladimir Lazarević, and Sreten Lukić (IT-05-87). Of the five remaining co-defendants, Mssrs. Ojdanic and Lazarevic were found guilty on counts 1 and 2, not guilty on counts 3 through 5, and sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Mssrs. Sainovic, Pavkovic and Lukic were found guilty on all counts and sentences to 22 years.
In an unofficial summary of the judgment, the judges were not persuaded that Mr. Milutinovic had direct control over the Yugoslav Army (VJ), or that he had sufficient command authority after 23 March, 1999, the day before the NATO intervention. According to an unofficial ICTY press release:
"The Prosecution charged the six with crimes committed during a campaign of terror and violence directed against the ethnic Albanian population of Kosovo in early 1999. Each of the Accused was alleged to have participated in a joint criminal enterprise, the purpose of which was to modify the ethnic balance in Kosovo to ensure continued control by the Serbian authorities. The plan was to be executed by criminal means, including deportations, murders, forcible transfers and persecutions of Kosovo Albanians."
The judgment is the first by the ICTY for Serb crimes against Albanians in Kosovo. The ICTY website contains valuable background information on this, and the other cases before the ICTY, as well as video coverage of court proceedings.
The 68-page third amended indictment, from 2006, charged the Accused with Crimes Against Humanity under Counts 1) Deportation, 2) Other Inhumane Acts (Forcible Transfer), 3) Murder and 5) Persecution, and Violations of the Laws and Customs of War in Count 4) Murder.

Another roll in the hay with Homer
The Portland Development Commission's lifelong love affair with development overlord Homer Williams enters a new phase with yet another hotel project in the shadow of the Marquam Bridge in the RiverPlace area:
At River Place, a development group helmed by Homer Williams has asked the city to begin the design review process for a six-story, 203-room Hyatt House extended stay hotel at Southwest River Drive and Southwest River Parkway. Williams' group, Riverplace Hotel Investors LLC, has an option to purchase the 1.12-acre property, formerly a steam plant operated by Pacific Power & Light Co., from the Portland Development Commission.
We can just imagine the terms of that deal. As a taxpayer, we already feel lighter.

Revolt of the Plebs
November 17, 2010
Live every day as if it were your last…
and then some day you'll be right.— H.H. "Breaker" Morant
History is not likely to speak well of today's Americans. While the people of nations around the globe stand up to their oppressors, Americans sit idly by as their government runs roughshod over their life, liberty and property.
|When will the American people recognize the full frontal assault being perpetrated against them?
As we speak, large-scale protests and mass demonstrations continue in more than a dozen countries as citizens strike back against injustice, criminality and brutal austerity measures imposed by their corrupt governments.
In the UK, more than 50,000 students recently took to the streets to protest a spike in tuition costs.
In Greece, workers clashed with police outside the Finance Ministry over frozen pensions and cuts in their salaries.
In Germany, tens of thousands demonstrated over the weekend to protest government policies and social inequities in advance of Merkel's Democrat party's national meeting.
In early October, thousands of Icelanders stormed their parliament with renewed anger over the deepening financial crisis, and against those responsible for it. Many of their politicians were forced to flee out the back door, where they were pelted with eggs, flour and tomatoes.
In France, transportation and commerce was brought to a virtual standstill throughout vast portions of the country, as angry citizens railed against their government for increasing the retirement age from 60 to 62.
Press coverage of these events gets little attention here in the United States. When the press does cover it, they portray the demonstrators as greedy layabouts who have become dependant on government handouts. In reality, people of these countries know full well that they are being made to do without in order to enrich powerful central banks that conspired with corrupt politicians to loot their economies. The people have had enough, and they're letting their governments know it.
If only we had the same spirit. When will the American people recognize the full frontal assault being perpetrated against them? When will they realize that, they too, are being made to do with less, so that their corrupt politicians can fulfill the unlawful arrangements they have made with the very same central banks and financial institutions that are bringing down nations around the globe?
Right now, millions of Americans have lost (or are losing) their homes to foreclosure as a result of the same kind of collusion between politicians and the banking cartels.
In 2008, the banking elite threatened to shut down the U.S. economy unless corrupt politicians in Washington D.C. forced through the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). Though more than 90% of the American public voiced opposition to the bill, their words fell on deaf ears. To add insult to injury, the passage of TARP was actually celebrated by members of congress, who stood at the podium with broad smiles and giggled as they signed the hellish legislation.
Billions of taxpayer dollars went to the bankers to rescue them from foolish investments in mortgage-backed securities. The TARP funds were supposed to be used to clear the bank's books and free up lending to the American people. But that didn't happen. Instead, the bankers tightened lending even more and used their newfound wealth to pay debts, acquire other banks, pay huge bonuses to their employees, and engage in more irresponsible investment activities.
To their credit, the American people found the gumption to confront those politicians in town hall meetings across the nation. But the media—being the obedient lapdogs to the federal government that they are—quickly pounced upon these unhappy citizens; labeling them as dangerous upstarts who were working outside the parameters of civil and polite discourse that the government deems manageable. Raising your voice was equated with violence, hoisting signs was considered racist and gatherings were announced as potential staging grounds for domestic terrorism.
How absurd—that the mainstream media would think it could even be possible to kowtow the American people into compliance—especially when you measure these relatively mild examples of public opposition against the large-scale strikes and civil unrest we are witnessing in other countries.
But—ironically—many Americans did take the bait that the mainstream media was dishing out and decided to temper their speech after all. This was facilitated by Judas goats like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, who corralled the people like livestock into GOP controlled rallies that advanced the Republican agenda and insured them an easy victory in the mid-term elections.
Glenn Beck's "Rally to Restore Honor" summoned thousands of disgruntled Americans to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Days before, he pleaded with his audience to abandon their signs and silly clothes because it was making them easy targets of ridicule by the "progressive" left. The people complied—and when they attended the function—they were treated to a ceremony of military worship and religious devotion to the state of Israel. It was a Hollywood production. It was organized, polite, and nobody raised their voice. People soon forgot about the imminent financial threats that were bearing down upon them. Instead, they embraced what every American should feel good about: a bloated defense budget and a toxic relationship with a country that has caused us nothing but trouble.
Shortly after the Beck event, the left staged a demonstration of their own. Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity" was a mockery of demonstrations, an anti-demonstration if you will.
The people who attended that function did so—not to address the criminality of their government—but to mock those who did. They came out enmass to parody the "Teabaggers," fellow citizens enraged over Obama's spending policies and mandatory healthcare legislation.
Both events were completely partisan efforts, used to define the line between Democrat and Republican voters. Both events were used to quell dissent and stifle speech. Both were a success—but not for the American people. It was a success for the government, and a major testament on the power the mainstream media has over the American public.
Americans—in large part—have become nothing more than stupid, scared, spoiled rotten slaves to their favorite TV programs, politicians and electronic toys. Accusing them of such is just about the only thing that will make them angry. Americans still maintain that they are the freest, wealthiest and most moral people on the face of the planet. But they are the only ones who think so. In a Newsweek article entitled "Post Anti-Americanism," Howard Fineman writes:
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
"When you read about America in European newspapers, what you are likely to find is a tone bordering on pity. The U.S. is depicted as a fraying empire of obesity, ignorance, debt, gridlock, stagnation, and mindless war. Sure, the iPad is cool, but it is evidence of what America was, not what it will be again. The stories are not angry, accusatory, or even ideological. It's worse: they are condescendingly elegiac."
I think most will agree that being pitied is far worse than being hated. Pity is leveled against those who are unwilling, or unable, to stand up for themselves. People of other nations pity us because they see in us what we are unable to see in ourselves: that we are weak.
But we weren't always like this. In fact, just twenty years ago, we were far more resilient than we are today.
We're closing in on the 20th anniversary of the Rodney King beatings in Los Angeles. Almost twenty years ago, the American public was shocked and appauled as they watched one of the first incidents of police brutality—to ever be caught on tape—broadcast on television screens across the nation.
The ensuing trial was held in a predominantly white, suburban city (Simi Valley) that is a well known "Cop Land," where off duty police officers from three counties reside in great numbers. The biased trial found the officers "not-guilty" on all counts.
Public outrage at the verdicts sparked the "L.A Riots" of 1992 that found thousands of people taking to the streets. Businesses were looted, cars were torched, and widespread violence spread through the city over a period of six hellish days.
Some may say that the manner in which the public used to express their discontent was unconstructive—but they certainly made their point. The United States Department of Justice was forced to bring federal charges against the four officers for civil rights violations. Two of the four officers were aquitted, but two were convicted and handed out 30 month prison sentences.
If the Rodney King beatings were caught on tape today, it would not even make the evenning news. The circumstances leading up to the arrest of King would most certainly be enough to close the books on any further inquiry, and any ensuing protests would be met with even more brutality from the police.
The King case pales in comparison to some of the more recent incidents of aledged police brutality.
Take the case of Jordan Miles for instance. Miles, an 18 year old black student, with no criminal record, was simply walking down a street in Pittsburg when he was approached by three plainclothes police officers. According to Miles, the officers did not identify themselves. Instead, they shouted, "Where's the money…Where's the gun?…Where's the drugs?" Thinking he was about to be robbed, Miles ran and slipped on the ice. Before he could get to his feet, the officers converged and began beating, kicking and choking him. They also used a taser, thinking that he was concealing a weapon. No weapon was found. Miles sustained severe facial injuries. His face was swollen, almost to the point of being unrecognizable, and he continues to suffer from the severe physical and psychological pain caused by the assault. Eight months have since passed, and still, not one of the officers has been held accountable.
Compare that to the King case. King, a convicted felon, led police on a high speed chase. When he was finally stopped, he emerged from the vehicle and taunted the police officers. The officers 'swarmed' him and proceeded to beat him repeatedly with batons. At one point, when it was apparent that King was still making attempts to resist, a taser was used twice in an attempt to incapacitate him. It was later determined that King had a blood alcohol level that was almost twice the legal limit.
In reaction to the Miles brutality case, a few peacful protests and marches were held in the local community but received very little press. In reaction to the King case, part of an entire city burned to the ground and coverage of the riots and subsequent trials were nationwide spectacles.
American attitudes have changed. Today, the public cowers in fear of their oppressors. What's worse is that a vast majority will stick out their tounges, as they lie bloodied on the street, and lick the boot of the man who put them there.
Late last September, Gene Cranick of Obion County, Tennessee watched his home burn to the ground as firefighters from neighboring South Fulton stood by without lifting a finger to help put out the blaze.
There seemed to have been a problem with a $75 annual fee that Cranick apparently forgot to pay for fire services extended to residents who live outside the city limits.
In addition to his house and all of his belongings going up in smoke, three family dogs and a cat shared the same fate.
But instead of expressing outrage, the browbeaten property owners actually came to the defense of the apathetic public servants.
Cranick's wife, Paulette, doesn't blame the firefighters. "They're doing what they are told to do. It's not their fault."
How have we come to adopt these kinds of attitudes? Where is the public outrage? Is there any limit to what the American people will put up with?
Part of the problem stems from our society turning from one that loves liberty to one that loves the gifts that liberty brings.
For well over one hundred years, social engineers have indoctrinated Americans into believing that indulgence is synonymous with freedom. But nothing can be further from the truth. Freedom delivers one from dependency, while indulgence delivers one into it.
John Adams, an American statesman and champion of independence, feared that the American people would some day enjoy their newfound freedoms, but neglect the daily struggle required to protect them. Adams was well aware of the dangers of complacency, and warned that a society that chose indulgence over vigilance would quickly fall into the hands of tyrants, who would deliver a once free people back into the chains of bondage.
When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour.
Adams went on to describe what would happen to that society once these destructive influences took hold.
The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society.
This is where we are today. We have become a self-defeating society, drunk off the spoils left to us by our forefathers. We have fallen prey to an elitist cartel of bankers and warmongers who have, and continue to, loot the population of its wealth and treasure.
But it isn't too late to turn things around.
Right now, the American people have an opportunity to get back that old fighting spirit. On November 24, many Americans traveling abroad can stand defiant against their tyrannical government.
"National Opt-Out Day" is something that everybody can get behind, regardless of their partisan politics. Finally, across the board, we have found an issue that all can agree upon. We are not terrorists, and we refuse to allow our government to treat us as such. Let us make the TSA a poster child for tyranny and the over reaching of our corrupt government.

If you travel this holiday, refuse to allow yourself to be degraded and poisoned by the cancer inducing pornography scanners that have been installed in our nation's airports. You won't be alone. Perhaps that man or woman standing there next to you is someone you don't see eye to eye with concerning the health care bill. But at least you can agree that having your body ravaged by strangers is something that no one should be forced to endure. At least that's a start.
It might be uncomfortable and inconvenient, but fighting for your liberty and freedom always has been—and it's about time we started getting used to that.

Cook until just tender, drain and pour cold water over to prevent further cooking.
- I used no fat - reduced sodium chicken broth.
- The addition of the mushrooms is one of my variations.
- I used a piece of fried chicken (thigh - store bought) and chopped up the meat to add to the soup.
- The soup can also be made without meat (vegetarian) or the addition of more/different vegetables.
- The kinds of meat usually used are chicken, beef or pork and are usually minced and cooked by sauteeing along with the onion mixture before adding to the soup.
Again its happening, its raining awards on me! Thanks to each one of you who considered me for the awards! I am so happy today because this time I received a beautiful and inspiring award from Madhuram of Eggless cooking. The concept behind the award is so meaningful and I am definitely overwhelmed by her generosity and thoughtfulness. I really am thankful Madhu, for your kind gesture and your sweet words!
This award was conceptualised by Jamie of the Flavour Pantry. Jamie tells the following,
"This is given to bloggers whose stories and recipes inspire us. Whether it's to eat healthier, dive back into our past to conjure up something we ate as children, or just make the light bulbs in our brains go on with a new idea for a recipe. As recipients of this award, please share with us what inspires you and then pass on the Inspiration Award to 4 other deserving bloggers. Please let them know what the award means and what to do with it."
I am supposed to write about things that inspire me. I am inspired by
- ....the kind, encouraging words, humbling gestures and extraordinary talent of all my fellow bloggers who have supported me and who have come to mean a lot to me within a very few months!
- ....the ecstatic looks on the face of my family when they taste one of my creations (when it happens I mean ;-)!). It does not happen always, I do have my share of screw-ups, but when it does, I forget everything else!!
- ....people who do not give up, endure and fight back even in the face of unthinkable disasters or set backs in life. I know I am not that strong, I probably would give up earlier on! But still I am inspired but their endurance/persistence to try harder!
- ....my family members who have always supported me, loved me and accepted me no matter how crazy I get! ;-)
As per the terms of the award, I have to pass this award to four other bloggers. I wish I could give them to all of you because all of you have a part to play in my life now, through my blog. The thoughts that you pass on to me through your comments are my inspiration to do more, otherwise I would have stopped blogging long back!! The sense of belonging that I get from the messages is something that I cannot describe, and eventhough we wouldnt probably meet at all, you all will always be special to me! You should understand how hard it is for me to choose just four of my friends!!
I am passing this on to:
Ranji of Ranji's Kitchen Corner, with whom I have formed a bond pretty quickly, who has definitely inspired me to keep up my work on the blog!
Shubha of Chutki Bhar Pyar, who again is one of my frequent visitors and a great person, her personality shines through her comments!!
Sukanya of Hot n' Sweet bowl, who inspires all of us through her beautiful cakes and other recipes!
Sig of Live to Eat, who is inargueably one of the most-liked blogger, who bares her life before us, makes us laugh and entertain us through her great writing techniques and pictures!
Love you all!!! Pleased to be in the company of all of you!

Hey guys, sorry I've been so slack with updating this blog. I drove to Hamilton yesterday to shoot with You Can't Buy Culture (www.youcantbuyculture.com/) and last week I shot at Point Addis. They were both such beautiful places! I also flew to Auckland to shoot New Zealand Fashion Week for Oyster magazine and a few designers (http://oystermag.com/new-zealand-fashion-week-stolen-girlfriends-club-salasai-huffer, http://oystermag.com/new-zealand-fashion-week-twenty-seven-names-riddle-me-this, http://oystermag.com/new-zealand-fashion-week-zambesi-ruby-cybele). On breaks, I took a bus up to Mount Eden and a ferry to Waiheke island and it was breathtaking! I am so lucky to have a job that allows me to travel and explore great places and meet amazing people :)

As the election of 2014 draws closer, we thought that it would be meet to issue some guidance to prospective voters who are locked into their abusive marriages to the Republican and Democrat parties.
Some of our dear readers think that there is a difference between the two parties. Just as some adults have to inform their kids that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are not real, so we must inform Americans that neither are the Republican or Democrat parties. In truth they are controlled by the same bankster totalitarian Nazis who put Hitler and Lenin in power.
Evidence for the common control is the similarities between the parties. Both Bush and "Obama" have bombed more countries than Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger could have ever hoped in their wildest wet dreams. The Ziocon controlled press do not report the many covert wars in which the US is involved including those in the Ukraine and Africa. "Obama" has precisely the same bombing and drone mentality as Bush.
We have published reviews of books demonstrating how electoral politics works, which is a lot of bribery and intimidation behind closed doors, an example of which was Phyllis' Schafly's classic on the 1964 election in which she showed that the Rockefellers governed the Republican party with an iron grip.
The perennial cry of the stupid voter who thinks that things will change when his party gets a majority is an infantile psychosis. The US federal debt has ballooned under Republicans and Democrats, wars have increased under both parties, and the nation has gone to hell in a hand basket with both at the helm.
So for this upcoming election, we urge voters to vote for candidates who are not Democrat or Republican. We have published information showing that 130 members of Congress are receiving bribes to keep quiet about the truth of 9/11 and Israel's placement of nuclear devices in 25 US cities. This cover-up includes members of both parties. To think that your sainted representative is pure is idiocy. Both the Republican and Democrat parties are traitors and pawns of the Rothschild banksters.
The second advice we offer is to vote against any politician who supports the state of Israel or who is Jewish. Given the preceding information of the Israel's war against the United States, it staggers the imagination that anyone who is a patriotic American could possibly support any candidate who champions Israel's genocidal wars and nuclear destruction of America.
Americans who hate this country always cry about having to pick the less of two evils, to which we respond, You are a moron. We all have choices, and the choice in all elections is to vote for the country or vote for your favorite treasonous Nazi Democrat or Republican.
One party to consider is the Constitution party, a party which has made significant strides in recent years because of its adherence to the US Constitution. We are sure that other parties exist, but even if they don't, write in someone.
Do not vote communist as that party is a Jewish operation.
If you decide not to vote, we understand. The 2012 election had roughly 125-135 million votes but only 95 or so million voters. "Obama" was placed in office through massive vote fraud. You as a citizen have no choice in the election any way.
So if you decide to vote, please do not vote Democrat or Republican. If you are stupid enough to think that it makes a difference, then vote against the incumbent.

We have reached that time of year- pumpkins and squash are everywhere.
Whether you find them at the neighborhood pumpkin patch or layered in a grill-cooked ratatouille, I am a fan.
Ratatouille ala Ratatouille
16 oz. tomato sauce
2 yellow squash
2 zucchini
1 medium size eggplant
2 roma tomatoes
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig parsley
1 sprig thyme
2 cloves crushed garlic
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
In a medium sized skillet, casserole dish, or cake pan, cover the bottom with a layer of tomato sauce. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the squash, zucchini eggplant and tomato into thin medallions. Place them around the side of the pan and work towards the middle, overlapping slightly, until the pan is filled. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season to taste, and lay the fresh herbs and garlic across the top. Cut a piece of parchment to cover the top of the cooking vessel and fit snuggly to help trap steam to evenly cook the ratatouille. Either place into a hot grill and let cook for 20-30 minutes, or place in a 350 degree oven and cook for 45 minutes.

I've reviewed the transform note with a view toward identifying the design decisions in it. Here's what I came up with: - Processing as XML and binary is made explicit (the type parameter); it seems like we can't switch back and forth between the two during processing. There's special case handling for extracting base64 encoded material from XML. - There's a fixed sequence of selection, possibly an external XSLT transform (the idea is to have a well-known transform and no transforms inline), and then canonicalization. - The selection is a further simplified version of the XPath Filter 2.0 transform, plus (optionally) the existing decryption and nveloped signature transforms. - Canonicalization is restricted to the pre-hashing use case, which relaxes some constraints; however, we don't have a good design draft of what that simpler canonicalization could look like. I was trying to frame my thinking about this as "how do these design decisions affect the existing model"; the point where I have most trouble right now is the data model that we expect to work on top. Is all of this implementable on top of an event stream? Do we still need to handle a node-set, but with the knowledge that that node set is structurally simpler? Help, please!

Caryn Mirram Goldberg
Sometimes the extra push at day's end is its own reward. Yesterday we traveled to the east for a doctor appointment and figured the scheduled PSU reading would have to be missed again. We had actually heard Caryn Mirriam Goldberg read her poetry, but last night she was to read from her novel, Divorce Girl. I had read the book and originally figured I would not whine about missing another reading due to life's interventions; so I was pleasantly surprised when we could make it after all.
Laura Lee Washburn announces the reader
But we arrived home early, so after a little rest, we pushed on to the west. This was so worth our time. Ms. Goldberg gave a fantastic reading! Writer/teacher Laura Lee Washburn introduced the author and the rest of the hour was just getting a good story from the author's own lips.
One comment the author made resonated with me. The statement was about her main character who manages to survive her parents' divorce in the 1970s. She said her teenaged protagonist survived her difficult times because she leaned on community and her art. (Her medium was photography.) Goldberg said artists often find art communities helpful because it is there that one finds people who make them feel like they belong.
My experience with writing community is exactly that. Of course, some writers are competitive and jealous creatures. There have been some famous writers who struggled and squabbled…say Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald among others. The writers I have met support one another and lead fellow writers to reach their goals. I have been helped and supported by many writers out there, especially in Missouri, who have shared their knowledge of things with me. I appreciate them all.
Wonderful PSU food after the reading
A check and second place win the Past Loves contest made a writing success for me this week. The letter from the editors that called my essay "heartwarming and inspiring" was payment of another kind. So the week ends with some satisfying moments connected to the writing life.

Hello everyone I am back with another Fashionisto coming straight from L.A aswell
Why has he been chosen? Well simply because his style is purely revealing and trendy.
So here is the interview to get to know him better. Ladies and gents here is Victor!
2013 saw a lot of trends. There has been a lot of worded graphic statements on sweaters, shirts, beanies, caps, and jewelry for both men and women. There was a return of the beanie, flannel as a waste accessory, and what I would describe as the "highschool varsity meets punk" look; letterman jackets, checkered plaid, oxford style shoes and boots, and studded everything!
So you're coming from L.A , how would you describe the style over there ?
LA is a place where people do a lot of driving. I think this influences our style. We dress for comfort as we have to sit through a lot of traffic, but we make sure we approach comfort in a stylish way. We have the beach a few minutes away, so there's a lot of light jersey and cotton fabrics, oversized tees and fashion sweatpants. Leather motorcycle jackets seem to be the perfect accessory for any Angeleno, as most days in LA are pretty warm until it gets cooler in the winter, and only at night! I was born and raised in LA, so I would describe the city as having it's own relaxed rockstar kind of style.
Where do you get your inspiration from ? Streets, magazines?
I get inspiration from city. Every street in LA tells a story, with the graffiti, or the architecture of the building, the people you pass on the street, there's something always inspiring a new wardrobe idea. The city tells me a story, inspiring a feeling in me to then tell that story with my outfit. I like to play with my proportions, and LA is all about the right proportions.
How would you describe your style?
I would describe my style as preppy punk. No day is ever the same and my style expresses that. I think people get "fashion" confused with style. Fashion is just clothes. But style is an interpretation, of how you put pieces together to reflect who you are. I love California, and retro Hollywood, I love the punk attitude, and all of that influences my style when I get dressed in the morning. I pair unconventional items together to form a styled "clash", hence the "preppy-punk" description. Some oxfords with a vintage Misfits tee, and well groomed hair. Or a button up with a leather jacket and tons of arm candy and printed sneakers - it is about meshing two different ideas to create one.
How would you describe your wardrobe ? What would be the basic items to have in your wardrobe ?
I have a lot of black in my wardrobe, in which I put pops of color in depending in the season. The basic items I have in my wardrobe are comfy oversized white T's, very skinny black jeans,
And lots of gold bracelets. I love costume jewelry, and I am rarely without it. I have a lot of oversized tees, a lot of printed pants and leggings, some staple jackets and plenty of printed sneakers and oxfords. I can mix almost any combination of what I have and come up with a new outfit every single day. Plus, I am always adding new things everyday. I shop a lot.
Which city in the world would you consider has a great fashion sens and why?
I have to say that Tokyo has a great sense of fashion. Not just because I've seen the photos on blogs and books, but because I've met people from Tokyo and really admire their fearlessness when it comes to their style. They make a statement with their clothes, and each of them looks so different, but like they could be a cohesive collection. They aren't afraid to mix prints, over accessorize, or be androgynous, and that's what fashion is about, always challenging the "concept" of "style".
Any color you like wearing in particular?
I like wearing black or grey because most colors make me look washed out. I also like bold stripes and prints in neutral colors.
|Japanese thick shoes style, retro edgy style and of course all black
Who are your fashion icons ?
My fashion icon is Gwen Stefani. My whole life I've tried to emulate her. She is just so cool in everything she wears. And not just because she looks amazing the clothes, but because they really reflect who she is a person and an artist. She can rock some slouchy sweatpants with heels and she can clean up in a couture gown and look equally as beautiful. She is so innovative and I admire her approach.
|Gwen Stephanie creative style ownership
|Gwen Stephanie
Any specific store you go to? Which one and why those places ?
There is a long list! But I will keep it simple. For vintage, I go to a thrift store near my hometown called "Bell Thrift" where i have found countless gems, included all of my coveted vintage rock n roll tees. For something new and trendy I will shop the women's section of Wet Seal and Forever 21. The pants fit me perfectly, and men don't have the same options women do when it comes to really cool stuff. Same with jewelry.
Do you work in the fashion industry?
I no longer work in the industry but I used to. I worked for luxury street brand Joyrich for a little bit, and I also interned for G Star denim. I went to school for fashion at the same school that designer Rick Owens did. But it took me a few years until I realized that I didn't want to work directly in fashion.
Do you feel like fashion has upgraded or degraded ? Do you think people dress less sophisticatedly or too sexy ?
I think fashion is always evolving and referencing the past. Obviously, as times and opportunities have changed, people don't dress the same anymore. I think we now have the freedom to wear whatever we want whenever we want, even anything from the past 200+ years. So I would say that is an upgrade. I do wish there was more effort put into people's wardrobe, as it is an expression of themselves, but they don't always realize that. I see a lot of people in public with Uggs, and flip flops, and gym clothes. Put a little more effort. The 40's and 50's were about being well dressed and groomed, and I really admire that. Even the "scandalous" people were well put together. But women can do the same things as men now, and men don't have to fit this stereotype of masculinity, so fashion is more about self expression and less about covering up.
What is your favorite trend of the moment and why?
My favourite trend of the moment is gold everything! I think gold accessories are superchic and can dress up any outfit. They're available everywhere, and they are timeless.
Any fashion show you've been too and which one was your favorite?
I've only been to LA fashion week, which wasn't anything special.
Some people are "born" with style and/ or elegance , some learn within the years. Did you always have style?
I think I had to learn it. I was always pretty wells dressed, but I definitely had to learn how to create my own style
For me there's 3 type of categories when it comes to shopping either having a focus on:
- quality
- brand
- price
In which one would you find yourself?
For me it is the price. I go through so much clothing, and I can usually make it all last a pretty long time by taking good care of it. Sometimes I go months without wearing something again because I have so much to choose from. I will splurge when it's a good staple piece, like a bag or a jacket, or a favourite accessory.
What would be the "nay" in fashion ? An item that shouldn't be worn or items or prints that shouldn't be mixed together ?
NEVER wear leggings as pants. I see this mistake too much. Makes me cringe every time. Also, flip flops in public. Those are shower shoes, don't wear them in public unless you're on the sand. Don't mix brown with black, they just look hideous together. And try to stay away from mixing navy blue with black, it is also a hideous combination. And colored animal prints, be weary of them.
What's your favorite piece of items to wear ? Shoes , accessories , ...
My black motorcycle jacket that I have mentioned in almost every question! It goes with just about everything I wear. And I can't live without a stack of gold bangles and bracelets.
|Converse a big must! A way of "pumping" your look with basic colors!
Any favorite season to dress up? And why?
I love winter because it's all about layers and more clothes! But the LA summers present a fun challenge of what to wear and still look cute!
Which era would you say had great style ?
I love the highschool kids and rock n rollers of the 1950's. And the 80's interpretations of the 50's.
And finally what fashion advice would you give to our readers ?
Use clothing to express who you are, to tell a story of what you like, what you do, where you have been. Choose items that you can use in more than one way. Shop in the unexpected places, and never underestimate a sale! Make your style about what you feel inside, and not just some clothes you took off a mannequin in a store. Find a signature piece and build around it. Dress for your dreams. You are what you wear.
Who says that we have to put limit into our dressing? Creativity is key to dress up . So feel free to get inspired from everywhere including from Victor!

This past weekend I attended my first joint training football camp. We had about forty high-school aged Israeli and Palestinian girls attending this camp at Kibbutz Dorot, very close to the Israeli border with Gaza. The program they are part of is called the Twinned Schools Program, which brings together girls of the same age group from one school in Israel and one school in Palestine to play sports (mostly football) together. The Israeli girls were from the city of Kiryat Gat and they had experienced Qassam Rocket fire over the past few years. The Palestinian girls were from the city of Jericho in the West Bank.
|Robbie with two of the football camp participants
The first thing that we did was introduction activities, which involved ice-breaker games to allow the girls to get to know each other. After the ice-breaker activity, we went to lunch and that is when I saw that I had a large hurdle to jump. The girls did not interact with each other; they only talked to the girls from their group. The Israelis only talked to the Israeli and the Palestinians only talked to the Palestinians. This was a bit disconcerting, because I had thought that the girls would come together and would interact and thus peace would be achieved. That was a pretty naïve thing to believe, because nothing in life worth accomplishing is ever that easy.
|The girls playing football together
|The bloodthirsty game of Bingo
This blog took me a while to write, because I was unsure of how to state the conclusion. I realize that my participation in the Twinned Schools Program will not get me a Nobel Peace Prize and that peace will not happen tomorrow due to my efforts. Human beings are not very patient, they want immediate results and thus cannot wait for change to slowly happen. My friend and former professor Sam Mustafa once told me, "peace is a 'process.' It's not an end-state or a simple goal. It's an ongoing relationship that requires constant action and maintenance. It's not to be found in any treaty or agreement, but rather in a state of mind." I believe that this is true, and programs like the Twinned Schools can make the dream of peace a reality. You have to have trust in peace and the process of trust begins with getting to know someone. The personal connection is the most important in breaking down barriers. There is no problem with the process of peace starting with football, because it has to start somewhere. A month ago, on Yom Rabin, I asked what Rabin's legacy was and I think I have now realized what it was. His legacy lives on in everyone who was inspired by him to achieve peace and do things, both large and small to make his dream, that he died for, a reality. I feel that this is why I came to Israel.

The ASAS Public Policy Committee (PPC) was formed in 2009 to help ASAS shape public policy and public opinion related to all aspects of food animals and companion animals by engaging policy makers. The committee has been actively involved in a variety of activities!
The list includes:
- Taking Stock D.C., which is published monthly on the last Monday of each month, and includes policy updates, reviews and commentary on relevant white papers, research funding priorities, policy discussions, news and events related to D.C. "happenings."
- The ASAS Grand Challenges documents are developed by the PPC to clearly articulate ASAS priorities, to provide science-based information for shaping public policy, and to enhance future funding for research and educational programs in animal science.
- Snack and Fact briefings are hosted in Washington, D.C., by PPC members to highlight topics from Animal Frontiers. During these informative briefings, U.S.-based researchers and authors present overviews of current issues that are relevant to livestock production and companion animals to congressional staff members on Capitol Hill. In the past year, topics have included the microbiome, performance-enhancing technologies, and genomics.
- Before and after Snack and Fact briefings, the committee makes visits to Capitol Hill, as well as to D.C.-area industry offices and federal funding agencies to discuss issues that affect the animal industries, research, and other topics, and to work with these agencies to assist members in leveraging more federal research dollars.
- The ASAS Science Policy Summer Internship Program is generously supported by the ASAS Foundation through the Appreciation Clubs for Bob Zimbelman, Harold Hafs, Barb Glenn, Jack Britt, and Louis Boyd. This program is facilitated by the PPC.
- Policy Statements that have been adopted by ASAS were written or updated by PPC members.
- The PPC responds to federal requests for comment regarding new policies. In conjunction with the ASAS board, the PPC may support signing on to letters with other organizations, encouraging investment in animal science research, or opposing detrimental policy.
- The PPC has also assisted with workshop development at the annual meeting (e.g., the communication workshop in 2016, and this year's ASAS-ASN pre-conference symposium on food security), Innovate, Congressional Visit Days, and other events.
For 2016-17, committee members include: Shawn Archibeque, Mike Azain, Casey Bradley, Teresa Davis, Elaine Grings, Clint Krehbiel, Tameka Phillips, Wendy Powers, Cassie Welch, and Penny Riggs (Chair).
If you are interested in participating on the committee or contributing to its efforts, contact: email@example.com

PHP_CodeSniffer task is in the current Phing branch
A few days ago I was evaluating the need for writing a Phing task for the awesome PHP_CodeSniffer Pear package and noticed that Dirk Thomas blessedly already added one to the current Phing Svn branch. That's again extending the range of available tools that PHP's Continuous Integration(CI) toolchain has to offer and I quess there are more to follow, as Manuel Pichler just announced the development start of PHP_Depend.
To get the 2.3 Phing branch including the mentioned PHP_CodeSniffer task and it's documentation simply run a svn checkout http://svn.phing.info/branches/2.3 /path/to/phing-checkout-dir and you're ready to add continuous monitoring of coding standard adherence to your builds.
For simplifying the integration of the just checked out Phing 'branch' release into an existing Pear environment you can build a new Pear package by calling the buildfile in /path/to/phing-checkout-dir/pear. The built Pear package will be located in /path/to/phing-checkout-dir/pear/build and can than be used to switch the installed Phing Pear release.
Also make sure you have installed the underlying PHP_CodeSniffer Pear package via the Pear Installer.
Although the task is very well documented the next code snippet shows the shiny PHP_CodeSniffer task in an example build file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="example" default="build" basedir=".">
<target name="build" depends="clean, svn-checkout, code-inspection, test">
<target name="code-inspection" description="runs code inspection on the stated directory">
<phpcodesniffer standard="PEAR"

Rapper Azealia Banks poses on the cover of this month's Dazed & Confused but only a few lucky countries will be able to see it. According to the British fashion magazine's Twitter feed, the cover photo has been banned by at least 7 countries.
Dazed & Confused wrote on Twitter:
"Just been told our upcoming Azealia Banks cover has been banned from 7 countries so far. Thank God for the Internet, huh?"
According to The Standard, the photo has been banned in Singapore, Dubai, Malta, Switzerland, India and Thailand. And it's pretty easy to see why. The banned photo shows Banks smoking a pink condom like a cigar above the tagline, "Azealia Banks blows up."
Dazed's editor, Rod Stanley, said that he knew that the cover would stir up some conversation but didn't think that the magazine would get banned.
Stanley said:
"Azealia liked it, and we thought it would be fun and suited her because she's a strong, provocative character… I knew this cover would be talked about, but didn't expect a confident, young woman posing with an inflated condom to cause this much fuss. It's funny that in a world where extreme images are so accessible, someone posing with something that is used for safe sex is what we get worked up about."
Here's Azealia Banks' banned photo. (Obviously NSFW. And in some cases, Not Safe For Country.)
Do you think the banned Azealia Banks photo is offensive?

Sherry L. Capello
Business Management, 1983
"[My] professor told us that we should not automatically accept what is told to us. We have our own minds. We can educate ourselves and develop our own informed decisions. That moment changed how I looked at everything in my life."
Growing up in a blue-collar family, Capello learned the importance of working hard, which has carried her far in her public service career that includes serving a second term as mayor of the city of Lebanon.
Her first public sector job came in 1987 as a zoning officer for Lebanon County. In 1997, Capello became assistant borough manager for Palmyra and after four months, was named borough manager. Eleven years later, she joined Derry Township as assistant director of community development until she became mayor of Lebanon in 2010.
As mayor, Capello has focused her administration on becoming accountable to the people. She led the city in a new direction with impressive results. Lebanon experienced substantial growth under her leadership. She "got our house in order" by addressing a budget deficit, tackling numerous audit findings, negotiating a contract in 2011 for all three unions and non-union employees that saved the city $150,000 and establishing a reserve fund for future capital purchases.
In December 2013, Capello received the prestigious Athena Award from the Lebanon Valley Chamber of Commerce, recognizing her efforts to support, develop and honor women leaders in the community.
Capello serves on the Lebanon Campus Advisory Committee, has talked about government and politics to the Lebanon Campus Student Government Association leadership and participated in the HACC Gives Back community service project in Lebanon in September 2014.

While driving in to work today, Marnie and I noticed what appeared to be flags of different countries painted on the sidewalk of Granville St. stretching from 16th Ave. W. down to the Granville Bridge.
My first thought of the flags was some form of Olympics celebration, but found it odd that there were no banners or signage supporting the initiative. My second guess was some form of ambush marketing, but it still made very little sense as there was no further supporting info (although a marketing campaign like this would have been good for United Colours of Benetton).
Well, I was wrong on both accounts.
The flags, or decals as they are called, are the result of a community partnership between the Yaletown Business Improvement Association and the South Granville Business Improvement Association. The route of the Flag Walk stretches from BC Place Stadium right up the South Granville Rise and with close to 450 decals, nearly 80 different nations are represented:
FlagWalk is the creation of a unique walking route connecting Yaletown and South Granville, two of Vancouver's truly unique neighbourhoods. The FlagWalk pathway spans a total distance of 3.74 kms and features the flags of countries participating in the 2010 Winter Games.
I personally think the idea is quite unique, and if you're into contests, you can follow along with the Vancouver Sun in an effort to win a trip for two around the world.
If you want to learn more, you can hit up the official Flag Walk website, head over to the blog or follow the group on twitter.
