Stocks jump, finish at multiyear highs
The Dow and S&P 500 finishes for the year are their best since 2007 as hopes build for a fiscal cliff deal. The Nasdaq's year-end finish is its best in 13 years. Apple shoots higher.
When the stock market finished 2011, many analysts said 2012 would be more of the same: a bad start and strong finish.
In fact, 2012 started with big gains for the major indexes, but the market peaked in mid-September and early October and stumbled into the close.
Until Monday, when hopes for a deal on the fiscal cliff set off the biggest one-day rally for stocks since mid-November.
As important, the Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) enjoyed their their best year-end closes in five years. The finish for the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) was its best since 1999.
The 2012 gains came despite worries about the fiscal cliff. In addition, the market had to weather fears about economic health in Europe and China and a toxic political culture at home.
Congress was still grappling Monday with how to minimize the effects of the fiscal cliff -- some $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts set to take effect Jan. 1. But it appeared the guts of a tax bill were coming together. The deal would raise taxes on households that make more than $450,000 a year and individuals who make more than $400,000.
The Dow closed up 166 points to 13,104. It was the Dow's first year-end close above 13,000 since 2007 and best one-day gain since Nov. 23.
The S&P 500 climbed 24 points to 1,426, its first year-end close above 1,400 since 2007. The Nasdaq jumped 59 points to 3,015, its first close above 3,000 since 1999. The gains for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were their best since Nov. 19.
The Dow ended the year up 7.3%, an improvement over the 5.5% gain it saw in 2011. The S&P 500 gained 13.4% for the year, compared with no gain at all a year ago. The Nasdaq's 16% gain was double its 7.9% gain in 2011.
If there was a downside to the finish, it was that the major averages closed 3% or so below their peaks for the year.
The Dow finished 3.7% below its high of the year, 13,610, set on Oct. 5. The S&P 500 peaked at 1,466 on Sept. 14. The Nasdaq's closing high was 3,184 on Sept. 14.
What the plans entails
The emerging deal would also permanently patch the Alternative Minimum Tax, raise the estate tax rates for high-value properties, extend unemployment benefits for a year, extend several middle-class tax cuts for five years and add a temporary fix to Medicare reimbursement rates, Politico.com said.
It was not clear if the Senate would vote on the bill today. The House wasn't expected to vote on a plan until Tuesday at the earliest. So, technically it means the nation will fall over the fiscal cliff.
There was unhappiness on Democratic and Republicans about the bill. Liberals said the President gave up too much. It wasn't clear if Republicans in the house will vote for the bill.
The deal that's coming together does not deal with federal spending. That will come later and may well set up a bigger battle over the national debt limit.
What's ahead in 2013
If you want to guess what will happen with markets in 2013 -- and remember, most predictions are wrong -- the odds favor a volatile first half of the year and a stronger second half.
It's not clear if the market can move much higher. Stock-price gains of 10% are hard to justify if the economy is growing at 2% to 3% a year, Bill Gross, chief investment officer at PIMCO, told CNBC today.
But some pieces of the economy are finally joining the economic recovery, especially housing and automobiles.
At the same time, for now, the European appears to be stable, although deeply stressed. China's economy is showing signs of strength and is a reason why commodity prices, particularly copper and iron prices, have been rising of late.
Apple's big role in the market
The gains for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were influenced by one stock: Apple (AAPL), which closed up $22.58 to $532.17. It gained 31.4% in 2012, despite falling about 24% after peaking in mid-September.
Apple represents roughly 17% of the market capitalization of the Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX), which was up 16% for the year. It's about 4% of the market cap of the S&P 500.
The Nasdaq-100 is down nearly 6% since the end of September. Apple is down 21%. So, Apple represents more than half of the index's decline.
The S&P 500 was down 2.7% between Sept. 28 and Friday. Without Apple's sell-off, the index would have been down just 1.7%.
$BKX) was up 29.2% this year.
Bank of America (BAC) was the best performer in that index as well as the Dow and S&P 500, rising nearly 107% to $11.50. The banking giant nearly collapsed in the 2008 financial crisis but seems to be getting problems from its disastrous Countrywide Financial acquisition under some control. The company is starting to generate "buy" ratings from analysts as opposed to "sell."
American International Group (AIG), which had to be propped up by the government in the financial crisis, paid off all its government aid, is making money and is up 52% on the year. Sounds good, but AIG is still down 97% from its all-time highs in 2004.
The Philadelphia Housing Sector Index ($HGX) is 65% higher for the year, tops among 44 indexes that I track. The reason: A housing recovery seems to have begun. Demand and prices are rising in many markets. While many would-be buyers are renting, they will start to consider homeownership if they see a stable national and local economies and job markets.
The laggard group has been the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index ($HUI), down 11.3%.
Gold (-GC) itself, however, finished up $19.90 to $1,675.80 an ounce. For the year, the metal finished 7% higher. Silver (-SI) settled the day at $30.227 an ounce, up 25.2 cents and up 8.3% for the year.
Light sweet crude oil (-CL) in New York was up $1.02 to $91.82 a barrel. Brent crude was up 51 cents to $111.13 a barrel. Light sweet crude was down 7% for the year. Brent crude may finish up 3.5% when trading ends at 6 p.m. ET on Monday.

Here we go again!
Once again, it's not about the "economy", or the relative health of the companies and corporations (which we know, according to the GNOP are people too) listed in the markets... or the fact that there has been so much corrupt corporate and political greed on both sides of the congressional aisle the past 2 decades...
It's about the dysfunctional government we keep putting iin place year after year... despite the scars we, as a "united" country (hey, it's in our national brand isn't it??? United States of America) continue to brandish because we can't come together and agree on what our forefathers agreed on (including your parents and their parents). That we are all in this together, rich and poor, white, black, brown red, yellow (the rainbow of colors that really makes us who we are)...
Where the f%#k are all the "christian moral values" these days??? Protect the poor, make sure everybody does their fair share???? Let those who have worked their whole lives making sure YOU have all you have strived for, worked for... have a safe, secure and dignified retirement that YOU hope you might someday have....
Nothing is free!!! The roads you drive on, the buildings you live in, the energy you voraciously consume playing video games and watching "American Idol" or "Dancing with the Stars"....
IT ALL COMES AT A COST.... and a PRICE!
we need to stop this madness that our government puts us through day after day these past few decades.... the rich can afford to pay a little more... corporate america can afford to pay a little more (hell, move your company overseas if you dont like it, and let the real America decide how "patriotic" you are)....
We need to bring jobs back... made in America, by Americans, for Americans... who are paid a decent wage so they can afford the products we produce...
ENOUGH of those mega-million dollar salaries for the CEOs of those countries....
ENOUGH of those mega-million dollar salaries for athletes, and actors, and "non-contributors" to the betterment of our nation. Why aren't we paying physicists, and teachers, and medical researchers, and energy innovators these ludicrous salaries????
Isn't anyone else as PI$$ED about this as I am becoming???
If the F%$N Tea Party wants "smaller government"... then let make sure that there are NO MORE "POLITICIANS FOR LIFE".... and pay them a "mrket value" for their services (which wouldn't be much lately)... and make them fund their own retirement, through IRA and 401K, and make them fund their own medical coverage....
Just like WE THE PEOPLE do.....
The word didn't end on 12/21/12 like the Mayans predicted... so lets make 1/1/13 the beginning of a new AMERICAN era.....
over and out
Markets up today.... based on????
what has changed over the last few days except the "perception" of a swan dive off the "fiscal cliff"...
previous days the markets were down because of the lack of an agreement.
today, they are up because of a possible agreement.
come Tuesday... with no agreement.... LOOK OUT BELOW!!!
Tell me oh wise and wonderful wizards of this wickedly wild venue... (yeah, here, us... posting)
is it possible that there is some manipulation influencing the ridiculous swings?
We need market reform.... NOW!...
it has never been this volitile... it has never been this "semsitive to a statement" than it is now.
Vote those GNOP/TP haters of "big government" out on their a$$e$.... before they destroy this country (this nation of all people) that we've fought so hard to build, and need to continue to build to stay competiitve in this very complex, and increasingly smaller world.
frequency change approved!
Yes the election is over and Obama is President, not dictator. Look at the electoral map, that ocean of red counties across the country represents another equal body of government, the House of Representatives and they were elected too, by people that are not takers like the racist lady in Detroit. The Senate doesn't have a clue, they don't know if the ball is pumped or stuffed. They can't even develop a budget. President Obama, how about some leadership for a change? Stop wasting the countries wealth or we may see the taxed class march on Washington DC armed with pitch forks. Like Syria when the dictator ignores the people, I don't think, these people want their Automatic weapons for hunting deer.
There are numerous indicators that the economy has turned the corner and is in recovery, but this doesn't mean that everything is fixed. It just means that some of the more important elements that fuel recovery are in play. It is possible that the Tea Party will find a way to sabotage the recovery. They would prefer economic collapse to allowing Obama to look successful. If that means bringing the country to its knees, they have already proven they are willing to do that.
We have a free market economy, but as with all systems of government and finance, there must be checks and balances. A completely free market economy would be financial dictatorship by a very few super wealthy elitists. There would be no restrictions on their exploitation of labor, on money manipulation, on conspiring to drive competitors out of business, etc. The Tea Party seems to truly believe that a dictatorship of the rich would be good for the country. They fail to understand that an aristocracy of wealth is not freedom or democracy. It is dictatorship. The wealthy few control everyone else because they control all the resources, all the jobs, all the money. If you dare to contradict them, you lose your job, your house, your money, and eventually, as our freedoms are taken from us, your life.
Unrestricted capitalism is not good for the country or the ideals on which it was founded. You can't be free if you are held in thrall by a rich corporation that controls every aspect of your life. Capitalism must be held in check by regulation, rule and law. There must be anti-trust laws. There must be workplace safety laws. There must be laws to protect working women from sexual harassment. There must be laws to prevent corporations from polluting the water and the earth. There must be laws that require corporations to be responsible and responsive to the people who work for them, buy their products, and live near their factories.
In short, excess never works. Everything in moderation, nothing in excess. Over the last several years we have allowed the super rich to act in excess. It is time to demand that they moderate their habits and act responsibly.
JAV......I just try to be a Happy Person around all the nice Holidays...Because of being an old curmudgeon the other 10 months of the year, or at least being accused of it...
(Yes, it was just re-affirmed from someone sitting on a couch behind me.)
(Dictionary definition: Usually a grumpy old man.)
Washington and our elected officials, plus some in Our State, can sure take the wind out of the sails.
We had a good year, NOT a great year....But everything went along pretty decent.
And BEST of all, I'm still on the "right side" of the grass...
And I think 2013 is going to be much,much better.
With some kind of a tentative deal and a punt or a can kick....The Markets rose 166 on Monday..
Old ReTOG...Predicted this along with the Eleventh Hour, Midnight fiasco.
Also projecting,predicting about 300-500 upside for this week..
(go back and check previous comments for verifications)
So we are 1/2 or 1/3 the way,on the upside remark..And maybe we can finally pull off the Santa Rally.
Stick with Charley Blaine and old Re-TOG....We leave all others in the dust.
And a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2013 to All.......
I may be wrong, BUT looks like he's taking some Leadership rolls the last few days...
Funny how I remember Bushy, saying how he had some "Political Capital" after he was "elected" on the second go around...
Now Obama has got that "Capital" for the next 4 years after being "elected twice" and I think he is going to use it for the betterment of American...
And the Republicans just can't stand it, let alone stand themselves....You have lost !!
.......buckle your belts........

Here is a picture of the temperature, I did some modification because I had too much landmass, more than 36% of the map according to my calculation. Now it's less than 33% and that is without consideration with inland water, wich should make for the remaining % to get a ratio similar to earth. I will post the others soon but they are too big right now.

Be sure to take FT's rainfall and temperature results (and the climate information derived from them) with a pound of salt. FT doesn't model any kind of water or air transport (and their associated heat and rainfall), so the results are not even close to "realistic".
My hope in providing the rainfall, temperature, and climate tools was to allow users to paint them in as they needed, but it seems that very few users attempt anything like that.
And the Gaia coloring is completely ad hoc, based on nothing at all (the rainfall and temperature adjustments have asbolutely no impact on that particualr shader). If there's one feature that I would have left out of FT, it's the Gaia shader.
Don't worry I already know about that but the map do look pretty good even if they don't make any sense. Gaia show the wet places in yellow while it's a color associated with deserts.
I might eventually do more realistic maps of this world, I just need to know what people think of it so far since it's supposed to be a community project.
The first attachment in your post doesn't seem to show.
Anyway, is there much reason to actually stick with the generated land elevation data? We could simply flatten the map to show only the coastline, then place features such as mountain ranges and rivers where we want them.

It's possbile and very easy. I just have to put one color for the land over the sea level.
You mean to flatten and then make all the elevation with FT ? Im not sure how to do that
Here is the actual terrain elevation:
Attachment 57284
Edit: Ok it's possible if I combine FT with Wilbur to flatten the land and then import it back to FT. It's true that the program tends to put mountain ranges at weird places.
So, based on the following map, where should the mountains be located? It's like asking: where are the tectonic plates ?

I did some modifications. Finally I was able to flatten (equalize) the land to make plains but it's rather complicated. That's why the ocean and the land are in 2 separate files. So the ocean is not just 1 meter deep.
That's because I used the grayscale map to modify it in photoshop. I lowered the landscape at some places and increased it at other in odre to craete plateaux.
Yes it's pixelized, I have found a way to improve the rendering of the coast but I will use it later.
Attachment 57548
If the general elevation is alright I might consider adding some mountains or just increasing the roughness might do. I am not sure if it would be best to put some more. Then I'll do the rivers and add some lakes for less monotony.
Your comments are welcome.

The black picture was intentional. You will see it's gonna be so awesome ... but later
For now, I made the maps showing major oceanic currents and winds. It's still a major improvement from my first try, but still need more work. It's inspired by randigpanzrall work's wich is probably inspired by my own previous work. Similar style maybe by accident but he did a better job than me.
winds in january, blue blobs are low pressure zones, red are high pressure

the oceanic currents, I will add the colors later and will probably need to delete some arrows, they are too many.

If these maps are alright, I will make the climates and precipitations.
Are the maps correct?

Soul Calibur XBLA Based on Dreamcast VersionWhen the original Soul Calibur was announced as an upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title yesterday, it was not immediately clear whether the project would be ported from the excellent Dreamcast edition or the less-than-perfect arcade rendition.
We checked with Namco on the matter, and can now happily confirm that it is the former case.
"The game is based on the Dreamcast version with no major additions or subtractions," said a Namco Bandai representative to Shacknews.

"We have to make this a special event," Whelan said. "We like to look at it like the Emmys or the Oscars of Weber State." Other costs include rental of space, awards, refreshments, travel expenses and lodging for guest computer the computer software. Hurst said she thinks lab aids need to be better trained so students have somewhere to turn for help. According to Lisa Beth Ravenwood, coordinator of student computer labs, the aids that are hired must have a basic knowledge of DOS-based applications and be willing to learn new software as they are implemented."The job comes with a low wage and we can't always attract people with extensive knowledge on the more than 1 00 applications that are available," Ravenwood said. Hired aids go through a 10-12 hour training program on different software available in the labs and watch a video that helps them improve on student relations. The video emphasizes the j performers, flowers, decorations, scenery and props. Last year's event budget was $22,300, but actual costs for the program totaled $23,867, which is over $1,500 added expense, a seven percent increase from the previousyear. The revenue budget was estimated at $22,300, but only came to $21,392, which was a $900 decrease from the previous year.

According to Georgi, although some of the criticism focused on the computer labs is deserved, there are many things that students and professors can do to make the job easier. Georgi added that many students expect the aids to do their work for them and use the aids as a crutch rather than an educational resource. Often, students will ask very We made it!

Informational material should also be provided so the aids can be prepared to help the students. The new school year involves goals to provide the students with consistent, reliable systems, a more competent staff, and an environment that grants educational independence.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

2012's been a breakout year for The Wanted : they've scored their first big U.S. hit single, seen their music performed on Glee , contributed to the Ice Age sequel soundtrack and been nominated for an MTV VMA and an American Music Award. Now, they're going to ring in 2013 by appearing on America's biggest New Year's Eve show: Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest.
The Wanted will be part of the Fergie -hosted West Coast party portion of the show, which airs Monday night on ABC, and they say they're thrilled to be included alongside acts like Flo Rida , Justin Bieber , OneRepublic , Pitbull and fellow Brit Ellie Goulding .
"It's a huge moment for us," says Max George . "I mean, we've had a year that's been full of achievements, but to finish it on such a high -- it's such a well established thing, especially, in America -- it's just an amazing thing for us. It's one of the highlights of my year, definitely."
But was the group even aware of what New Year's Rockin' Eve was before they were tapped to perform on it? After all, Dick Clark wasn't a household name in the U.K. as he was in the U.S. The Wanted 's Jay McGuinness tells ABC News Radio that even though he couldn't watch the show back home in England, "I knew of it. I knew how big it was and I knew that it was, like, the main event of the New Year."
He adds, "I think the reputation did cross over the Atlantic Ocean and, yeah, I can't believe we're actually doing it!"
In addition to seeing 2012 out in style, the boys have some New Year's resolutions for 2013. While Nathan Sykes says he's going to try to keep in touch with friends and family a bit more, Tom Parker has chosen something difficult. "I'm gonna try and give up smoking," he tells ABC News Radio. "It's a pretty bad habit. So, I'm gonna try and do it this time. We'll see."
Jay, however, is cheating when it comes to his resolution. "I am probably gonna try and give up meat for a year," he laughs, "But...because I'm already a vegetarian, it'll be pretty easy!"
Expect a brand-new Wanted album in 2013.

We are ever-so-close to shave day as part our St. Baldrick's FOX Chicago Schools Challenge. We're working with more than 1,500 kids from 50 schools throughout the area to raise awareness and money in the fight against kids' cancer.
Once again the White Sox are partners with us in this effort.
So it was off the spring training at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz. and hope reigns supreme -- hope for another World Series ring and hope to find a cure for kids' cancer.
There's something about spring training that is so special. It's a time when anything seems possible and with our guy, pitcher John Danks, batting leadoff it's time to be brave and go bald.
Danks brought in the big gun to help: Mr. No-No Mark Buehrle himself, who's quick to have some fun at his buddy's expense.
All joking aside it's go time, and with Ozzie Guillen and Kenny Williams looking on, true to form Buehrle works fast.
In no time, Mr. Perfect has executed a haircut any mother would love.
For Danks, his commitment to Baldrick's is family affair. He has a little cousin, Cooper, who is fighting cancer and winning.
But for every Cooper, John knows there are other kids who aren't as fortunate, so he'll keep working to raise awareness.
For every student who follows Danks' lead and shaves their head as part of our St. Baldrick's FOX Chicago Schools Challenge, the White Sox are giving two free tickets to a game this season.
We've raised $3.5 million over the last several years and that's money that goes to hospitals here in our area. Help out in 2011!

Iran protests UAE "occupation" comments
Iran's state TV said on Tuesday the country's foreign ministry summoned the United Arab Emirates' top diplomat in Tehran to protest against comments made by the UAE foreign minister on the dispute between the two nations over three islands in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. According to the report, the envoy was summoned to protest the "irresponsible and uncalculated" comments by the Emirates' foreign minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.Al Nahyan last week called on Tehran to end its "occupation" of the islands.The minister also compared the Iranian occupation to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
According to the AP, the UAE claims ownership of Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunbs islands at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has controlled the islands since 1971.

This week's NY1/Time Warner Cable Business Class Scholar Athlete of the Week is always helping others improve, whether it's on the court or in the classroom. NY1's Anthony Pascale filed the following report.
Students and teachers at Humanities and the Arts High School know they can always count on Joiada Darnell for a helping hand.
"She's always there for other students in the classroom if anyone needs help," says college advisor and English teacher Miranda Smalls.
"She's actually a tutor," says Nisha Silochan, a French teacher. "She does part time tutoring for French. She doesn't have to do it, but she just volunteers, which is tremendous help to me."
Darnell's team spirit can be seen best in athletics, where she leads her peers as captain of the volleyball and basketball teams.
"She's a great overall athlete and her teammates really respect her and look up to her," says Haliemah Simone, the girls volleyball coach.
"I like it cause it's a team effort, so it's one for all, all for one," says Darnell. "You have to work together to win the games. If I can be a captain, I can show others what to do, how to do it and help other players progress."
The senior also sets the bar in the band as first-chair clarinet.
Outside of school, Darnell has been selected to participate in a number of prestigious programs based on her leadership abilities.
"She's part of an A&E mentoring," says Smalls. "It's a career-awareness program, and they only give it to six students in our school."
"I'm also a part of College Summit, where we went over to Monmouth University to learn how to be a leader to our peers so they can move themselves to college," says Darnell.
Darnell is heading to Manhattanville College in the fall where she plans to study marine biology.
"I love animals, so I wanted to focus on more of the marine life so I wanted to help the marine life animals come back from extinction," says Darnell.
Teachers say they're sure her positive presence will make a splash on campus.
"I'm expecting to hear great things, wonderful things," says Smalls. "Because when you've been a wonderful person, and you've been Joiada Darnell for four years in this school, I only expect the greatest."
So, for helping motivate everyone she meets to succeed, Joiada Darnell is the NY1/Time Warner Business Class Scholar Athlete of the Week.
The NY1/Time Warner Cable Business Class Scholar Athlete program celebrates student athletes who successfully combine academics with athletics, and also find time for community service. The program, operated in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, is open to any senior attending a New York City public high school.
Each week of the school year, a selected student is profiled on NY1 and receives a partial scholarship to the school they choose to attend in the fall.
To apply, download and print out the official Scholar Athlete application, then mail it to the address on the form.

Charter o
n June
8, 2013
township of Berlin was granted on June 8, 1763, to Rev. Chauncey Graham
and sixty-three associates by Benning Wentworth, governor
of the Province of New Hampshire. The original charter is in
the office of the Secretary of State at Montpelier in the Surveyor General's Papers
(II, page 149 A-B).
The first Proprietors' meeting of record was held at Arlington, Vermont,
on May
17, 1785, and the town was organized and the
first town meeting held at Berlin, on March 31, 1791. Around these three dates-1763,
1785 and 1791-runs the story which I shall try to record
relative to the founding of the town of
In order that a true picture can be given of the
circumstances under which the township came into being, it
is necessary to show the unconventional manner in which all
the New Hampshire Grants under Governor Benning Wentworth
were made.
The customary procedure whereby lands in the American
colonies were granted began with a formal petition, signed
by the prospective grantees (or patentees, as they were
sometimes called) requesting a grant of a certain tract of
land. These petitions were sent to the governor of the
colony within which the land lay, and by him taken before
his councillors, and together they made (or withheld) the
grant, fixing the fees and terms and conditions of
There are no such petitions extant in the
New Hampshire archives for lands
west of Connecticut River for the simple reason that they never
existed. Governor Wentworth pursued quite another course in
making his grants which was contrary to explicit orders
received by him in his Royal Commission from the British
Government which contained instructions for carrying out the
commands laid down in the Commission. The manner in which
these grants were made is set forth in a sworn deposition of
Joseph Blanchard, a surveyor and member of the New Hampshire
legislative assembly, made on March I, 1771, and
incorporated as Appendix XXVII of the famous document known
as State of the Right of the Colony of New York,
published in 1773.

Thanks to everyone! I think I'll go with the butter first. I read that if one is doing the paleo and is still hungry it could possibly be from not eating enough fat.
True that. Hunger isn't really an issue since bulletproof coffee and KerryGold.
I prefer butter myself.
Good point. I'm on a lo CHO for health reasons and found it necessary to incl. in a bit more. In my case that was the key-more CHO that is, as opposed to even more fat.

Whether you're stewing it, stir-frying it or tossing it in a salad, bok choy can add vitamins and vibrance to just about any dish.
Whether you're stewing it, stir-frying it or tossing it in a salad, bok choy can add vitamins and vibrance to just about any dish.
Bok choy's history starts in China, where it's been cultivated for thousands of years. (Its name is Cantonese for "white vegetable.") Over the centuries, cooks have been using it as a flavorful, cabbage-like ingredient in soups, stews, salads and stir-frys.
As you might expect from its alias, "Chinese cabbage," bok choy is a member of the cabbage family. There are two main varieties: the Chinensis, which grows in leafy blades, and the Pekinensis (a.k.a. napa cabbage), which forms a round head. Also, keep in mind that the Romanized name bok choy has several alternate spellings, including bok choi, pak choi and pak choy.
This leafy vegetable is at its peak in the summer, though its hardiness allows it to grow in the colder months too.
To pick Chinensis bok choy, browse through the produce section for a leafy vegetable that looks like a cross between spinach leaves (on top) and celery (on bottom). Good, fresh bok choy will have dark green leaves, a white bottom and no signs of wilting or mold.
Keep bok choy like you would spinach or celery: in the veggie drawer of your fridge. Remember to wash it only when you're ready to cook with it.
Like cabbage, bok choy tastes great raw, stewed, roasted or stir-fried. As an all-purpose vegetable, it can add a warm, brothy note to nearly any savory recipe. Prepping bok choy is a snap. First, wash the leaves and stalks in cold tap water. Using a sharp paring knife, cut away the root at its base, being careful to preserve as much of each crisp, white stalk as you can. These can be chopped or diced and tossed into soups and stir-frys. The same is true of the leaves, which also make a great addition to salads when left whole.
Most of the time, you'll be measuring your bok choy in cups (usually chopped or sliced).
Bok choy's flavor is light and delicious, similar to that of cabbage. Try swapping one for the other, or using fresh spinach in place of either. The beauty of bok choy is that it lets you experiment with all sorts of fresh, crisp flavor combos.
For a hot meal that's full of whole grains, you can steam bok choy and Chinese Vegetables with Brown Rice, then drizzle it with a tangy peanut-ginger sauce.
To really warm your soul, add bok choy to this Tofu Hot-and-Sour Soup and sip it from a small, hot tureen.
And polish off a spicy Asian dinner with these Shrimp Summer Rolls, which can be made crispier by wrapping them in napa cabbage instead of vermicelli.

Embarkation: I've done this three times before and this time baffled me. We arrived at the port very early (11 a.m.) and were welcomed by a growing line. Eventually the portal opened and the line filed through bag inspection and filtered into another un-moving line. After this one broke...we moved to yet another line that was not moving. After getting the cabin keys, we moved to yet another line to have our ID's checked. Then we were on our way to board the Fascination. I believe the cause of these slow lines was the fact that we were that early. I guess its crucial to arrive early, but not too early but we were anxious looking at our ship from the hotel window across from the port all morning.
The Ship: You could never tell this ship was as old as it is. Rarely did I see the imperfections I've read about. The ship was beautiful inside and out and neither did I see any "gaudy" decor. The scheme of the ship fit well with the colors and style.
Activities: The comedians were very experienced and extremely funny. I know they change frequently but these guys were great. The cruise director Matt Goodwin was informative and one of the best directors I've sailed with. I met him on the Fantasy a year or so ago and was pleased to see him aboard the Fascination. Thanks to Arlene, most of the activities on our Sea Day was cancelled including the Hairy Chest competition and the ice carving. Our sea day was wet, windy, and rainy. Not to mention, the top decks were closed due to the HIGH winds and waves. No one could walk in a straight line. We didn't see any shows, but enjoyed people watching mostly. We visited the casino and tried out the blackjack tables. My girlfriend and I left the ship about $50 up, but our colleagues left almost $200 in the hole. Very fun and helpful dealers.
Debarkation: More expected lines, but we took our time getting off the ship. No hassle through customs and we were off the ship by 10 a.m..
Overall, I would recommend this cruise. It is definitely not the high elegant service as more expensive ships and cruise lines offer, but fancy enough for us. I enjoyed the Fascination and have sailed on the Fantasy, Fascination and Imagination to date, and hopefully complete the entire Fantasy class. Thanks for reading my review and welcome any questions. Feel free to e-mail me.

"I have always been intrigued by the aesthetics of a beautifully trained and healthy body, and this inspired me to uncover my own potential for developing a well-fit, symmetrical physique. I began this journey just two years ago and am completely hooked. I began to search for the keys to becoming successful. I think it's important to learn everything you can about what is required to achieve your goal and explore what resources are available to you. Then every decision made should be a decision that supports your goal; your life should be an extension of that goal; get in the habit of making choices that support that goal, rather than self-limiting ones that contradict or hinder it. With my goal in mind, proper training and a complete lifestyle change in my diet, I stepped on my very first stage in 2010 at the NPC Florida Gold Cup and won not only the Novice & Open Figure Divisions but won the Overall as well.
"Remember that fit people did not inherit their fitness, health or bodies, they continued on working on it where other people would stop. They do not posses special gifts that others do not nor are awarded any more hours in the day to complete their tasks, we are all capable of achieving our goals!"- Diana Diaz
Jaimie Bernhardt"I am a fitness/glamour model and NPC competitor located in Canton Ohio. I also do personal training and coaching.
"I wasn't always an athlete and in great shape. Growing up in Cincinnati Ohio I was the youngest of three girls. My mom was very involved in the Bengals Cheer leading coaching. Being girly was very much a part of my childhood. I wasn't like my mother and sisters. I was as tom boy as it gets, I didn't own a Barbie. I even had the bowl cut hair and loved playing outdoors. With being a tom boy came a lot of teasing. I was very awkward and shy growing up. It wasn't until my family moved to Canton Ohio when I decided to change the way people thought of me. I grew my hair out and became more social. In high school I was very girly and super skinny. I went from being teased for being a tom boy to being too skinny.
"It wasn't until I was in college when I met my now boyfriend John Foster. He was a state champ wrestler and wrestled in Kent State University where we both attended. When we first started dating I weighed 107lbs. John was in training for a national bodybuilding competition and he convinced to work out with him. From that first day I was hooked! I went from weighing 107lbs to 130lbs. I was no longer the lanky girl. I got curves in all the right places. We decided to go to the Arnold Classic and I was chased down by a major supplement company. I knew from that point i wanted pursue a fitness career.
"My goal in being a fitness model is to inspire others. I always looked up to models and it wasn't until I learned discipline from working out that I could apply myself to modeling. After I working out and seeing results and getting a toned fit body it gave me a ton of confidence. Modeling would still be a "what if" if I didn't gain my self esteem. I now feel any dream I dream I can make it a reality. When I look to the future I have many goals in mind. My next goal is to become a NPC bikini pro and to further my career in modeling. I will continue to chase my dreams and see how my future unfolds.
Katelyn Aseltine"I am an ISSA Certified Exercise Therapist who currently works with Strength Training and Recovery (STAR Rehab) of Grand Blanc, MI with SCI and amputee athletes. I am currently in my Senior Year acquisition of my BA in Exercise Science at Oakland University of Auburn Hills, MI. I began lifting weights when I was about 15 for a Goodrich High School's Power Lifting team. From my very first competitive meet, I was absolutely hooked. The rush of testing the maximum potential of my complete strength was rewarding in every essence. I suppose you could say I was a bit of a tom boy, but from where I grew up, getting a little mud on the tires was nothing short of normal.
"Over the course of my training, I fostered a passion for the science of strength, muscular endurance and means of nutrition and continued heightening my interests through my trials of progression in the sports' ADAU and USAPL sanctions. After earning state and national records in both divisions, I decided to hang my hat on the sport and try an entirely new challenge; The art of diet. I could produce high numbers during single presses and compound movements but I was always lacking the aesthetic "wow" factor of your prototypical "gym rat". In late 2010, I made the personal commitment to compete in my first figure competition.
"After weeks and weeks of vigorous research and preparation, I stepped on stage for the first time at NPC's 2011 Grand Rapids National Qualifying Figure and Bodybuilding Champions where I went on to achieve first place in my height division and was presented with the Overall Figure Champion award for the entire show. Without taking a breath, I made my debut National appearance at NPC's Jr. USAs and achieved Top 10 ranking. The feeling of being on stage is almost supernatural to me and I wasn't ready to throw in the towel on the competitive season just yet. Still yearning to top my previous presentations, I committed to Michigan's final state level national qualifier, NPC's Western Michigan Championships where I was once again crowned the reigning Overall Figure Champion of the show. I was now the first female competitor awarded back-to-back Overall Figure Champion at the two biggest, most competitive National Qualifiers in Michigan at the age of 21.

The Hon Tony Burke MP
Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities
Murray-Darling Basin modelling released
Media release
9 October 2012
Minister for Water, Tony Burke, today released the Murray-Darling Basin Authority's modelling for 3200GL and 2800GL scenarios after key constraints in the system have been relaxed.
The modelling showed that by relaxing constraints in the system a better environmental outcome could be achieved under both scenarios.
The current version of the Basin Plan does not include the removal of system constraints. With constraints in place that limit the use of environmental water and taking into account social and economic impacts the authority has proposed a 2750GL reduction in diversions.
The model of returning 2800GL to the environment, after relaxing constraints, shows overall improvement in peak and frequency of high flow events but not enough to reach any more indicator targets.
Returning 3200 GL to the environment and relaxing constraints show an improvement from both 2800GL with constraints removed and previous modelling of 3200 with constraints in place.
Mr Burke said the Gillard Government is committed to reform for the Murray-Darling Basin that restores our rivers to health, supports strong regional communities and ensures sustainable food production.
"Importantly, this modelling shows that with constraints relaxed, there are improved outcomes for the environment, particularly the Murray River, its main tributaries and the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth,'' he said.
"I want to work with the Basin States to provide healthy working rivers and this modelling will assist us in this task.
"I'm willing to work cooperatively to find a pathway which delivers the healthy rivers we need in a way which is sensitive to the challenges faced by rural communities."
The improved environmental outcomes from a 3200GL scenario, with constraints relaxed include:
- Meeting five of the previously unmet high flow targets at iconic environmental sites including Australia's largest two river red gum forests - the Barmah Millewa and the Gunbower-Perricoota-Koondrook forests and at the Hattah Lakes system.
- The Murray River floodplain downstream of the Darling River junction could receive flows up to 80,000ML/, benefiting more than 30,000 ha of wetlands and vegetation including the majority of the internationally listed Riverland-Chowilla Ramsar site upstream from Renmark in South Australia.
- The River Murray floodplain inundation will improve from once every eight years to once every five years, resulting in healthier forests and wetlands.
- Improved health of the important Red Gum and Black Box woodland.
- Improved indicators in the Coorong, Lower lakes and Murray Mouth such as salinity levels while maintaining the achievement of flow based indicators.
The key constraints that were relaxed in the model included the amount of water that can be released from Hume dam down the River Murray, from Menindee Lakes down the Darling River and changes to peak flows from the Murray's other main tributaries, the Murrumbidgee and Goulburn Rivers.
The full report on this modelling is available at www.mdba.gov.au/draft-basin-plan/science-draft-basin-plan/hydrologic-modelling-of-relaxed-constraints

RWD: Responsible Web Design and how websites cope with compromised connectivity
- Like most people, I use the internet a lot in the evenings when I have some downtime. Although I live in the centre of European capital city (Dublin) which ought to be fairly weIl served with cell tower coverage, I also happen to live in an old house with 12 inch thick poured concrete walls. Getting good a connection for voice calls has never been guaranteed, so I wanted to check how well some major brand's web presences would fare under my particular set of circumstances on a mobile network connection.

The Oxymoron of Mobile Privacy
- Introduction There could hardly be a more perfect privacy invasion machine than today's smartphone. It's with you at all times, it knows precisely where you are, it can see and hear you and it knows exactly what you are doing much of the time. If data is the pollution of the digital age then your smartphone is an overweight 1970's V8 gas guzzler with asbestos brake pads, a leaky freon-charged AC system, burning leaded fuel as it barrels down the highway: you are silently spewing out reams of potentially harmful data all day, every day.

Mobile and Web: restating our assumptions
- Much like Max Cohen, the tortured mathematician looking for order in chaos in the classic movie Pi, we all find ourselves constantly reevaluating our assumptions and thinking on the issues at the intersection of mobile and web. Which is how it ought to be. In such a fast moving environment, sticking one's head in the sand isn't really an option. By the time you raise your head and take a look around, chances are you will be looking at a completely different landscape.

Tracking mobile with Google Analytics
- Mobile is becoming more important by the day and the figures speak for themselves: about 1 page out of every 8 was viewed using a mobile device (including tablets and phones) according to recent comScore research and last month Google released a study which showed that 77% of mobile searches were performed at home or at work even if a desktop PC was available.

Global reach and dynamic page weight – is there a correlation?
- Many reports on web page sizes issued in recent years point to the same conclusion: the web has a weight problem. The web seems to be gaining weight each year despite the fact that study after study has shown a strongly negative reaction from users to heavy web pages and resulting loading times.
- Responsive Design - Posted by Staff - 21 Mar 2013
Why Responsive Web Design is not always the best option for a mobile SEO strategy
- There are a lot of misconceptions about what Google is saying about mobile SEO. First and foremost, Google doesn't mandate the use of Responsive Web Design (RWD) as best practice for SEO. Google expressly says "Google does not favor any particular URL format as long as they are all accessible to both Googlebot and Googlebot-Mobile" the bots Google uses to crawl desktop and Smartphone specific content. And it's worth noting here that Google is crawling desktop and mobile content separately.

Performance is money, part 1: the end-user's wallet

Server-side device detection used by 82% of Alexa top 100 sites
- About 82% of the Alexa 100 top sites use some form of server-side device detection to serve content on their main website entry point. As you descend from the top 10 to the top 25 and top 100 sites the percentage of sites using server-side detection falls from 100% to 96% to 82%. This is an interesting fact given the all of the recent discussion in the blogosphere of responsive design using client-side techniques such as media queries.

Re: ArkMC Media Center DLNA/UPnP application
You have to use software that would works as a server on your PC.
It could be Windows Media Player - you just need to set it up. It could be also XBMC.
But experience shows that the best one for music sharing is Foobar2000 ( ). It is specially designed just for music.
After installation of Foobar2000 you have to install DLNA plugin - UPnP/DLNA Renderer, Server, Control Point 0.99.45
The advantage of Foobar2000 is its speed of work. It works almost instantly with no delays.

Here is the information about different DLNA classes:
DMS - server, can share media information, can be accessed by controller and player.
DMP - can browse servers, select media and play it.
DMC - can browse servers, select media and sent it to another devices and controll playback.
DMR - can receive media from controllers and play it, can be controlled.
Re: ArkMC Media Center DLNA/UPnP application
Thanks for the information. I have taken a look at DLNA site and I see that there are another DLNA classes DMPr, DMU, DMD.

Re: ArkMC Media Center DLNA/UPnP application
Dear Sir,
I have installed in my Sony XPeria Z (Android), and it is fantastic - all can be played without problem. All my pictures, videos and music are put on NAS (Buffalo LinkStation ProDuo), and I accessed it using uPNP or DLNA.
Just recently, I got iPad mini (Iwith the latest iOS), and I have installed this application also, but I experienced some porblems:
- I cannot play DVD file (the picture is shown up, but no sound).
- Some of small MKV file is working fine, but most of them is only sound - picture is like "freezing" since the beginning.
- When I chose a file (I cannot get the pattern), the application is just closed - quit without any message. This happened not only for video, but also music file - mainly with flac format.
These problems are never happened in my android.
Do I have to install other application (codec maybe?) to solve these issue?
FYI, I just installed this application yesterday, so I think that is the latest version, but not light version.
Any suggestion?

so much so that I lose hours of sleep wondering about silly things. and then it hits me….and I have to say to myself almost out loud quit being an idiot and go LIVE!
life is such an adventure
sometimes you find a song that fits every moment, experience, or a feeling.
You can fall in love many times. The chances of it being the love that will last a lifetime are the same as being struck by lightening. I have always believed when it comes to love there is no true perfection. Only another person whose soul connects with yours the way no others could. This is more rare than most realize. There is no room for jealousy, fear, doubt, anger, or any negativity in love. With the right one you won't even feel any of those things. Everything feels right and almost as if you've always known who the other person was the whole time. Real love is worth the wait, worth the search, and worth the pain along the way.
