The Hawks can't make free throws. They are next to last in the NBA at 73 percent, and that is disgusting. First, it will kill them in the playoffs. Second, how can anybody not make free throws? Worse, their shooting consultant is Mark Price, the NBA's all-time leader in foul-shooting percentage.
This really bothers me.
"Well, it definitely bothers me. No question about it," said Price, chuckling to keep from sighing.
Price sank 90 percent of his foul shots during his dozen NBA seasons, mostly with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Before that, he was a splendid point guard at Georgia Tech, and speaking of the Yellow Jackets, they can't make free throws, either. They are last in the ACC at 62 percent, which makes me wonder about the other two men's programs in the area at the Division I level.
Georgia State is last in the Colonial Athletic Association at 61 percent, and Georgia is 10th out of 12 teams in the SEC at 64 percent.
What's going on here? "During the past two years, since I've gotten into a lot of teaching and training and working with players, this (foul-shooting problem) has been amazing to me," said Price, in his first season with the Hawks after a one-year stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. "In the broad picture, I don't think free-throw shooting has gotten as much time as it has needed from a team standpoint.
"It's difficult when you have two hours to practice and teams are trying to put in schemes for offenses and defenses and everything else. Still, when I look at this in my mind's eye, it's just not that difficult to make a free throw."
That's because it isn't. I'm eternally influenced by Coach Hasselbush, a youth coach I had in Cincinnati. I don't remember his first name, but I do remember he fumed over missed free throws. He said making free throws was as easy as dribbling. To prove his point, he ended practices sinking 15, 20, maybe 30 free throws in a row. He did so after using his crutches to place his brace-dominated legs at the foul line. He suffered from polio.
Many of the Hawks, Jackets, Bulldogs and Panthers suffer from apathy when it comes to foul shooting.
"Since it's tough to do during the season, a lot of this has to come from individual effort, where you put time into it during the offseason," said Price, whose father was his Mr. Hasselbush. The older Price coached high school basketball for years in their native Oklahoma, and the younger Price said, "His pet peeve was free-throw shooting as well. For one, I didn't want my dad griping at me. He also taught me the correct way to shoot."
Price does the same for the Hawks, with hints of success. "I was with Josh Smith the other day in practice, and he made 91 out of 100," Price said. "Then he goes into the game, and he misses one, he misses two, and it becomes a mental hurdle. It's been a work in progress, for sure."
It shouldn't be.
It's a "free" throw.

The premise that free-throw shooting can be taught is simply wrong, and insisting that there is a proper technique that fits all players is also wrong. If it were otherwise, we'd all be great putters and scratch golfers.
Shooting is a self-learned art, and requires discovery through play not tied to makes and misses. One way of shooting might work terrifically for someone whose feet are relaxed on a particular day but will need to be tweaked to adjust to the different contact one's feet are making the next after a hard run the previous day.
The problem with players today is not that they do not practice enough or do not get enough coaching, it is that they are told how to do things and try to do them one way because that is what the experts tell them.
You take young kids who are genuises in their bodies so that, in addition to extraordinary athletic gifts, they perform in ways that get them to stand out. No one "taught" them how to carry themselves, how to move their pelvis and ribs and shoulders and carry their heads so they are so, so in sync that throwing a baseball, hitting a baseball, catching a ball, throwing or shooting it has a special quality to it.
In a different age, that intelligence was given freedom and time to develop without outside intervention. People did not just become better they became smarter at figuring things out. Now, kids don't get to learn by playing on their own, experimenting in the world of what is possible and what feels good and what looks worth replicating. Rather, from the time that they are tots, EXPERTS are telling them not only what to do and when, but how and what they need to change. EXPERTS WHO DON'T KNOW JACK ABOUT HOW PEOPLE LEARN AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TRAINED IN IT.
Blaming players for the faults of the experts presupposes that learning movement can be taught the way someone is taught to add 2 plus 2. It ain't.
Now, certain fundamental information can facilitate learning, but the key to being a good foul shooter does not lie in technique nor in blind repetition. It lies in adapability and understanding different modes of how to use your body to accomplish the task at hand given how your body presents in that moment.
Stand on a busy street and watch people walk. Some make you chringe and you ain't even in their bodies. We learn to do some things poorly for any number of reasons. For someone like Smooth, who is so obviously gifted in having learned to do some incredible things with his body, I have to believe that there are some very fundamental things that he has upside down concepts about when it comes to shooting that get in his way, as opposed to supporting his shot.
As I posted on a recent Sekou thread, Smooth could do worse than practice shooting really little shots righty, using what he understands are core credentials and be committed to producing shots that float with a high arch and lots of backspin, then lesser arch and less backspin. From 3 feet, 5 feet, trying to soften and change how he holds his torso (the tension in various parts of it), his release point, etc. Do that for a while, then shoot some shots from the same distance lefty. Then to different spots righty. Only as long as it is fun. Then come back to it. Then on one foot, then another, noticing how he has to change. He'll figure it out, as long as the experts stay the heck away.
Yes, I am an expert in this stuff, both in shooting and in how people learn. The shooting was self taught, the how-people learn stuff has come through having completed more than half a 4 year course of study in a highly credible body of work about such matters put together over a 40 year period by an Israeli whose name was Moshe Feldenkrais.

The problem is that free throw shooting has NOT changed in the NBA or NCAA Division over the last 50 years. Declining free throw skills is a myth or mass misperception. The Charlotte paper had and article about this recently. NCAA 2008 FT% 69.1%. NCAA 1968 FT%- 69.1%. Did you actually research any statistics? Furthermore, basketball at the upper levels involves more running and intense defense than decades ago- thus more fatigue which makes free throw shooting more difficult.

Amazing how poor dumb rednecks can change even free throw shooting into a racial issue….LMAO

Free throws are difficult in your driveway, at the high school gym, and during a pro game. The basket is too small. The ball is too big. The free throw line's distance is just out of reach for surety. You try making free throws. Practice doesn't help you at crunch time. People forget about crunch time, yes, crunch time…. free throws. they just don't mix.
As far as comparing today's players to yesteryear's, you cant. Today is more of a wrestling match. They respected the foul in the old days. They mug each other now. It's unwatchable. I like women's basketball because they respect the rules. You may not touch the player with the ball at all. Don't touch him/her. Don't do it. It's against the rules. See, there was a movie called "no country for old men" where the theme was that once kids stop saying "sir", then the whole society goes down hill. I disagree. I think it's more accurate to say that once basketball players start cheating, then the fans don't care, and then society goes to pot.
Respect the foul. All I'm sayin'.

Thanks for a very interesting article Terrance. It seems to me that too many youngsters never develop a Mark Price shot because they spent most of their shooting practice "launching" shots from beyond the 3 point line. Unfortunately, this practice begins with 7 or 8 year old players. They never learn the basic mechanics of a good jump shot that can be deadly from the 12 – 15 foot range. Parents might consider not letting their children "throw" up shots, but teach them how to shoot a fundamentally sound, mid-range jump shot. I think the free throw percentage would improve drastically. Good luck with that dad!!!!

Mr. Moore,
Excellent thought provoking column, this is astute insight! I have always found it hard to believe that someone who plays basketball for a living, full time, can't hit at least 70% from the "Charity Stripe." I sat the bench in high school, but still can shoot 65-70%, so the best athletes we can muster should be able to do better.
It would be interesting to see how many games each of these teams would have won if they could have averaged 72%?
March 7th, 2009
8:15 pm
Great column! You are very right Terence, and I will say this and perimeter shooting have both suffered. When I watch classic games up to the mid-eighties I am forced to say it was a better played game then. Pop in a video of a Magic-led Lakers team and marvel at how efficiently they played. I only wish players and teams today could match it. They cannot!

Wrestling to be dropped from 2020 Olympic Games
In other news,
The sport of wrestling has been dropped by the International Olympic Committee, ahead of the 2020 Games.
The decision, taken last night by the 15 members of the IOC executive board, has yet to be ratified by all members of the body.
But with 7 other sports like squash, roller sports and wushu battling to be included in the IOC Olympic programme, it will be extremely tough for IOC members to vote in this September's meeting in Buenos Aires.
Wrestling, which combines freestyle and Greco-Roman events, goes back to the inaugural modern Olympics in Athens in 1896.
And at last year's London Olympic Games, close to 350 athletes competed for 11 Gold medals.
The IOC used 39 different criteria in reviewing each of the 25 core sports and they include, television ratings, ticket sales, anti-doping and global popularity.
The IOC will also use the meeting in September to announce the host city of the 2020 Games, which is now down to Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid.
6 Australian National Rugby League clubs have vowed to support any investigations.
And that's after yesterday's revelation that the 6 were named in the nationwide sports doping scandal.
The 6 NRL clubs include North Queensland, Canberra and Newcastle.
And they were contacted by NRL chiefs after the Australian Crime Commission granted the league, permission to notify any clubs it mentioned in its official report.
The latest scandal Down Under, has compelled the Australian Olympic Committee to announce that all athletes competing at next year's winter games in Russia,
would have to sign declarations, swearing they had no history of doping.

I'll never understand athletes who have the world at their finger tips and continually decide to make silly decisions such as this.
Former NFL wide receiver Reche Caldwell, who found success with the San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots and to a lesser extent, Washington Redskins was arrested on Sunday along with seven other men in what police are calling an illegal gambling house.
Caldwell, 34, who also played in the NFL for the New England Patriots, the Washington Redskins, and the San Diego Chargers, was one of three ringleaders of the group, which operated out of a building at 1746 W Main St., according to Tampa police.
Officers armed with a search warrant raided the building Sunday afternoon. Caldwell was charged with running an illegal gambling house and bookmaking. He was held in the Orient Road Jail and released early Monday on $4,000 bail.
Granted, Caldwell (the older brother of Denver Broncos wide receiver Andre Caldwell) didn't exactly rake in the dough during his seven year career but still – there has to be a better way to make money.
Caldwell, a part time starter for the vast majority of his career had his best season in 2006 with the Patriots where he hauled in 61 catches for 760 yards, including four touchdowns.

Employer's 'Codes of Conduct' are violations of my civil rights
I recently worked with a Fortune 25 corp and had to sign a 'code of conduct' as a condition of employment. In it, it stated (effectively) 'employees conduct is a reflection of the company both on and off the job, therefore employees must conduct themselves in a manner representing the company at all times'. I felt this violated my civil rights. I felt that I was hired to perform a task, to a job, and that my life is my own. The employer (ostensibly) felt that to work there was a choice, not a demand, and this is their condition of employment if I should 'choose' to work there. My conduct is my business - especially 'off' the job. I am not a slave. I am not 'owned'. My actions are not 'owned', and I cannot be 'discarded' because I may or may not have personal values that mirror my employers. Employment is 'at will', I agree. But losing my job because of my conduct at home is a violation of my civil rights.

Your conduct is your business as long as it is legal.
When it becomes otherwise, it is subject to justice.
In a sense you are indeed owned. Geographically
you are owned by a powerful government who claims
authority over you and the space you occupy. You
are a slave. Plain and simple.
When you find yourself well enough armed to dispute
your status, do so, if you want to. Until then accept
reality. Or find a Federal Judge to agree with you.
When you do, please let us all know.

Look! Peanut Butter & Jelly Ice Cream Cone
Take a look at this very unusual ice cream "cone". Guess what's inside!?
Yes, it's a cone made out of white bread, rolled up then toasted or dried, and insulated with peanut butter. A good scoop of ice cream (Strawberry? Grape?) rounds it out.
It's like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but with ice cream. Come on, how great is that?
If you want to see more about how this splendid creation took shape, visit its creator, Steve Hoefer, at Grathio Labs.

Cool idea, and I'm sure it's delicious, although I haven't quite figured out how.
interesting... but I think I'd rather have a PB&J sandwich and a regular ice cream cone & ice cream :)
That is great! I must try that for the neighborhood kids at the next pool party. Reminds me of a PB&J pie that I make from time to time. Crumb crust that includes peanuts and peanut butter, banana cream layer, strawberries on top. Even adults seem to like it.
i would totally do this with a regular sugar cone and put the pb right inside yum
yea agree with lexinchicago. cute concept, but I don't seek out dried up white bread and peanut butter like i would a good ice cream cone.
Reminds me of what we gave our 2.5 yr old daughter last night when she was screaming for ice cream but had none in the house; we gave her a cone with peanut butter smeared inside. She was happy as a clam at high tide.
Well, ok. As long as the ice cream is chocolate. Nothing better in the world than pb&j with chocolate milk.

Hey, fellow Gabs!
Huffington Post would like to know if Jackson Avery can stand on his own two feet as boss. Here's a little of the article.
On "Grey's Anatomy," Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) is boss.
The plastic surgeon is now on the board at Seattle Grace, after his mom Catherine Avery (Debbie Allen) bought him a hospital — and there is going to be a lot of adjusting around the hospital.
Jesse Williams, who has been on "Grey's Anatomy" for four seasons now, chatted with The Huffington Post about who's butting heads with Avery, "psychologically getting beaten up," whether or not there's hope for him and April (Sarah Drew) and much more below.
Check out the rest of this interview by clicking the source link below! P.S. The actual article itself is kinda spoiler-ish, so be forewarned.

Whatever Mark Fox's first UGA team ends up looking like, they'll get a fairly early high-profile outing thanks to the third annual SEC/Big East Challenge, which will match the Dogs with St. John's at the Big Apple's Madison Square Garden on Dec. 9 as the prelim (carried on ESPN2) to the Kentucky-UConn matchup on ESPN. The two programs have played only a couple of times before, most memorably when the Dogs eliminated St. John's in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 1983. … Teresa Edwards, two-time All-American for Andy Landers' Lady Dogs and the only basketball player, male or female, to represent the United States in five Olympics, has been nominated for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. Voting is open online through June 16 here. The inductees will be announced in July. If ever there was an Olympian worthy of the Hall of Fame, it's Edwards. So go vote!

Thanks to Law, Newnan and Champaign: It was Herbies, I kept calling it Bernies. Man, that brought back memories.
You mentioned Omaley's. I used to love that place. I lived in Rivermill and could just "stroll" in and stagger out any time. I loved it until he rented it out for a gator only party in 95, we could not even get in to use the bathroom. He had me thrown off the property because I was walking around the parking lot with a bullhorn. It closed shortly after that, I am happy to say.
By the way, Edwards could probobly start for the 2009/10 mens team. She was great.
April 23rd, 2009
2:31 pm
Omaley's closing had to be a case study in bad management. Rivermill condos, every sorority in town holding pre-social parties there, frat houses up the hill, video games, multiple bars, and a deck overlooking the Oooooooooconee. Must have been snorting the profits.
The guestion is, where do all the folks who even remember the place go now, when in town.

Corporate employees are increasingly being asked to relocate overseas for work. According to a survey from Atlas Van Lines, 25 percent of respondents expect relocation to increase in the near future, with an additional 55 percent predicting a steady rate of relocation. The most popular international relocation destination in the financial industry was the U.K., while among for-profit service and manufacturing companies, it was Asia. Relocating for work necessitates a bit of upheaval, but this can be mitigated with a little planning and a lot of patience. Keep the following tips in mind as you negotiate the particulars of your relocation:
Ask for a Choice in Relocation Sites
If you've never had the opportunity for extensive travel, a stint working overseas should provide all the cultural experiences you can handle—plus financial compensation. However, overseas work is still work, which is why, in an ideal situation, the employee will have some say regarding the intended destination. Moving risks such as tax issues and homesickness are significant enough to warrant a final decision on the part of the employee.
When your employer brings up relocation, do not hesitate to discuss the implications of moving overseas. Mention the potential social and financial hazards of such a move and ask whether, in light of these issues, you might at least be allowed to make the final decision surrounding the exact overseas location.
Negotiate Incidental Costs
The costs of international moving extend far beyond the process of signing a lease and shipping essential items overseas. You may also find yourself shelling out for such necessities as temporary housing as your new residence is prepared, not to mention the cost of settling your affairs in your original stomping grounds.
Companies can and do provide financial assistance in these matters—in fact, Worldwide ERC reports an average of $12,459 in moving assistance. Negotiation can help you get more generous relocation compensation. Prepare a thorough breakdown of moving costs for your employer and ask whether it is within the company's ability to cover these particulars prior to the move. Your employer needs to understand that, without compensation, the move may not be possible.
Mention the Cost of Living
An income boost and moving expense coverage may prove sufficient to cover a potential increase in your daily cost of living. Research average rent rates and other day-to-day expenses to determine how much more you'll spend on essentials while working abroad. Present these findings to your employer and request an income boost equal to that living cost increase.
Mitigating Moving Expenses
Once you've maxed out on your employer's available moving assistance, you may still require alternative financial sources. If you've already receiving structured settlement payments from annuities or successful litigation, this may be the time to liquidate the policy. The terms of your structured settlement may require adjustment going forward, depending on the exchange rate in the nation in which you'll be working. Your options include continued cash for annuity payments as per the original structure settlement or, if the exchange rate proves too much, selling the annuity for a lump sum. If your employer offers access to a financial advisor, request access to this resource so as to determine the best approach for your budget and relocation site.

I am trying to learn new words but pronunciation is difficult. I try to learn new words, but by the next morning I have forgotten what they were and I have to start over again. How many new words should I learn every day so that I can remember them all?
In other words, as many as you are able to learn. If you can learn 10 a day, you'll be doing great.
The more you read (stories, newspaper articles, textbooks, not EFL textbooks, but textbooks in fields that you know something about and are interested in), the more vocabulary you'll learn and the faster you'll learn it.
Don't try to memorize vocabulary lists: that's pointless because it doesn't work. To be able to remember vocabulary, you have to recycle it, which means that you have to read those words in meaningful and interesting contexts as often as possible.
My European immigrant father-in-law learned English vocabulary by reading the newspaper (with a dictionary) every day. When I was studying French last century, I read an anthropology textbook written in French. I had to use the dictionary a lot at the beginning, but by the time I'd reached page 100, I'd learned (not merely memorized) all the important vocabulary and could rapidly read the rest of the book (another 150 pages) without needing the dictionary more than once or twice every ten pages. I love to read anthropology books, so it wasn't a chore.
This is a never ending task in every language. Even though I was raised speaking English, I still learn new English words from time to time. There are many websites, screen-savers, etc. whose purpose is to teach (or remind) born-and-raised English speakers of vocabulary words.
That said, I think this is really a personal choice. Some people pick up certain types of vocabulary words very quickly, others spend more time making each word part of their vocabulary. From my experience, I would say just go as fast (and learn as many new words each day) as you can comfortably and consistently remember - there's no point in wasting time on a word that you won't remember.
One trick that has helped me when learning vocabulary in English or other languages is to use "Flash Cards". Write the word on one side of a piece of paper, and the definition or sample usage on the other. Then you can flip through them every day and quiz yourself to make sure you still know each word. (It can also be fun to have someone else quiz you - take turns asking the other person a word.) You can also flip the cards over and read the definition (don't put a usage on the back in this case), and "guess" which word fits that definition.
There is no such universal magic amount of words to learn.
It is up to you how fast and how well you learn new words. There are many good techniques that can help, for example you could learn only a few words per day, and repeat them over time.
Flash cards are a practical application of this.
If over time you feel you forget the words you knew only a few days back, then you are learning them too fast, and you should slow down.
Also, there are some words harder to learn than others. It is usually related to the mother tongue of the student: the more similar both words, the easier you'll learn them (never forget false friends: similar words with different meaning for each language).
There's not a right answer for that question. It depends on you. The more you study, read and listen and practice conversation, the more you will learn.
A good habit to keep when you are learning vocabulary is to keep a word list of the words you have learned, and update it regularly. There are great sites for that, such as www.vocabulary.com.
English is not my first language, so I use that site to keep track of the words I learn, and there are great quizzes and usage examples, that help me reinforce my learning.
I also use the word frequency lists from wiktionary: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Frequency_lists#English
I usually go through the list, and find the words I don't know, and add it to my vocabulary list. It's a great way to learn the easier words that you haven't learned yet, that you should know first.

What can I say. Looks fantastic on my 2000 custom Roadie. Easy to install once you find all the proper wires among all the wire in the main harness. Nothing better than Dakota Digital. Worth every penny, gauge is easy to see even in bright sunlight,and when off blacks out completly. Would recommend calibrating it by driving a mile instead of paceing someone. Alot more accurate and safer ! Greg (DogBoy) Herdlicka

For some time, addressing the difficulties and delays experienced in setting up a new enterprise has been a policy priority. The European Commission published a Recommendation in this area in 1997.
More recently, the Lisbon European Council called for a "benchmarking exercise on issues such as the length of time and the costs involved in setting up a company".
Under the Multi-Annual Programme for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, and in particular the Best Procedure, the European Commission responded to this call by launching a project to establish benchmarks relating to the principal performance indicators in the mandatory procedures for setting up a new business in all EU Member States.

Make a Big Impact with a Tiny Bit of Tile
Obviously I haven't been creative enough with tile. Sure, I know it's practical, and adds color. But I've neglected to think beyond bathroom floors and back splashes. Recently, I've noticed tile used sparingly to add a small pop of color, or to create a simple design that attracts your eye in an otherwise basic room.
Take the kitchen above, from Elle Decor South Africa (via San Francisco Girl By Bay). It artfully uses pencil tile and tiny mosaics to create thin lines of color that are pretty and straightforward. People are so clever.
Here are some other smart and lovely examples:
1. Here, patterned tile makes a nook the focal point in a lovely black and white kitchen. From Expressen.
2. With only twenty tiles, Chelsea Hing added a spot of interest in a basic all-white kitchen. From The Design Files.
3. It's always nice to take the tile into other areas of the house. A tile mantel is the only fixed bit of color in this bright living room in Venice Beach. From Cococozy.
4. Stair treads are such a great place to add tile. They won't get as scuffed, and it's like a little party on every step. From 2 Modern.
5. I love this simple red cross on the floor of the shower. Photo by Joost van Brug via Bofink.

Great ideas... and love how my parents' dining set showed up in Elle Deco S.A.!
I like the shelf brackets in the photo, (well, I like everything about the photo!) but can't seem to get to the article on the other site. I guess I have to subscribe?
Might anyone know where these (or similar) can be purchased?
The stairway is alot of fun, and I like all the other pictures ... except that shower. It kind of gives me the creeps.
In our bathroom shower, the previous owner tiled using basic 4x4 white tiles -- but added a pop of color high up on the wall by incorporating a pretty little piece of turquoise tile that I think might actually be a rectangular plate. It ties in with the tile around the sink, which is a handmade-looking tile in a similar turquoise. It is a nice way to use a smaller amount of the more expensive tile, that also probably would have overwhelmed the small room if also used in the shower.

This morning, we received a one-sentence e-mail stating the current status of one of the members of a seminal '90s alt-rock band.
The message, in its entirety: "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland."
Naturally, that immediately conjured images of the T-100 taking out Weiland in a blaze of liquid-metal glory. (Or as one EW music staffer commented on the brevity of the statement, "This reads like a Hunger Games cannon going off." Yes, we work at a general entertainment magazine.)
In the meantime, Weiland has become the David Lee Roth of grunge, minus the split kicks. Despite the fact that he's currently on a solo tour playing STP's first two albums in their entirety, he has insisted for months that the band was not breaking up. Rumors did circulate about the end of Weiland's latest tenure, but the singer told Rolling Stone that it was all hearsay.
"STP has not broken up," Weiland told the magazine in December. "I haven't quit. I haven't been fired. We're talking right now about when we want to tour next. No one has ever fired anybody in STP."
Weiland has always been the band's most important and central member, though his presence, notably, has been problematic throughout the course of the group's history. READ FULL STORY

The Celluloid Pantry: Old-World Pickles and Crossing Delancey (1988)
"A joke and a pickle for only a nickel."
In Crossing Delancey (1988), Izzy Grossman (Amy Irving, center) is caught somewhere between the two sides of this vibrant Lower East Side street. Weekdays are spent uptown, where she works at a highbrow bookstore, drinking champagne and talking about poetry with the local literati. Meals are taken on the run: a salad bar combo from a local deli, picked at from a plastic container while she sits in bed watching TV, or a condiment-laden hotdog munched on while standing at the counter of Gray's Papaya.
Weekends, however, are spent downtown with her "Bubbie" (Reizl Bozyk, right), who tries to show Izzy old-world ways, offering more traditional Jewish fare like latkes and schnapps—and a date with the local pickle merchant, Sam Posner (Peter Riegert, left).
At first Izzy's coolly dismissive of Sam, but later, when he "woos" her with the gifts of a broad-brimmed hat and a fancy cake, she heads down to the pickle store to thank him.
The sight of Sam at work in his Essex Street shop (said to be modeled on the real-life Guss') reawakens the snob in Izzy. When she sees him reach into the pickle barrel with his bare hands to fill a glass jar for a hungry customer, she turns away in disgust. (It's later revealed that Sam washes his hands in vanilla and milk every night to get rid of the briny smell.)
Watching this movie some twenty years since its release, we can't help but think how much times have changed. Today, with so many independents squeezed out, Izzy would probably be working for one of the big bookstore chains like Borders. And with the recent boom in artisanal foods (and the growing interest in the artisans who make them), she'd probably find Sam's job a little sexier.
(By the way, the staff at Guss' do wear gloves now.)

And Bubbie's apartment would be worth about a million bucks today.
Isn't Bubbie's apartment one of those co-ops on the Lower East Side that were built by unions? Are those still priced for families or have they sold out the way Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village have?
Oh, I love this movie. I saw it again recently and found myself paying particular attention to Izzie's apartment, but at the end I just found myself craving pickles.
This made me smile. What a crush I had on Peter Riegert. Now I want some of the Israeli spicy gherkins I have in the fridge. Sadly, not artisanal, or remotely local. But they are damn good.
As I get ready for Passover, it makes me think of all the 'traditional' foods I'm about to prepare. Kugels, knaidlach and ...kishke? I can't think of another 'k' food I'll actually make.

"My father took me to see this film in 1950, when I was eight years old. And I've never forgotten it. I wouldn't know how to begin to explain what this film has meant to me over the years. It's about the joy and exuberance of film-making itself. It's one of the true miracles of film history. What keeps nourishing me over the years is the spell the film casts, how it weaves the mystery of the obsession of creativity, of the creative drive. It all comes down to that wonderful exchange early in the film when Anton Walbrook confronts Moira Shearer at a cocktail party. 'Why do you want to dance?' he asks, and she answers, 'Why do you want to live?' The look on his face is extraordinary.' Over the years, I've thought a lot about that exchange. It expresses so much about the burning need for art – the mystery of the passion to create. It's not that you want to do it, it's that you have to do it. You have no choice. You have to live it and it comes with a price. But what a time paying it." ― Martin Scorsese

Acne meds, resistant staph not linked
Philadelphia — Long-term use of tetracycline agents in treating acne does not lead to high rates of resistant Staphylococcus aureus and may actually reduce the risk of colonization with staph bacteria, MedPage Today reports.
In a small, cross-sectional study of 83 patients, most using antibiotics for acne, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that while 43 percent were colonized with Staphylococcus aureus, less than 10 percent of their bacterial isolates were resistant to tetracycline, the most commonly used antibiotic to treat acne.
Overall, the study found long-term use for acne of any oral or topical antibiotic agent was associated with a nearly 70 percent decreased prevalence of S. aureus colonization in those patients.
The study's results, published online in Archives of Dermatology, are in direct opposition to the common belief that the mostly young and healthy patients who used antibiotics for prolonged periods for their acne would become resistant to the drugs and would have increased S. aureus colonization.
The study's 83 patients — mean age, 24 — all had been diagnosed with acne and were being treated at the University of Pennsylvania dermatology clinic. Among the cohort, 34 percent were using topical agents at enrollment, 28 percent were using oral agents and 11 percent had received antibiotics for reasons other than acne during the previous month. All participants had throat and nasal swabs to determine the presence of S. aureus. The swabs were then evaluated for methicillin resistance. It was determined that 43 percent of the patients were colonized with S. aureus and 6 percent with methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).
Those currently using oral preparations, however, were significantly less likely to be colonized compared with those not on oral antibiotics. Those using topical preparations were also less likely to be colonized by S. aureus.
Investigators noted that contrary to what might have been expected, at no time was the rate of colonization with S. aureus greater in acne patients who were receiving antibiotics than among those who were not.
"Tetracycline antibiotics are more active against S. aureus and MRSA, and resistance is poorly acquired," the authors wrote, noting that they also found no evidence of high levels of resistance to other antibiotics tested.
The authors recommended prospective studies to look at the colonization status of S. aureus immediately after antibiotics are initiated on a weekly basis to see if there is a point at which S. aureus colonization increases with longer usage time.

>which I plan to replace with a Zalman cooler when I replace the northbridge fan.
I got the Reserator 1 Plus because it had the quick disconnects, black finish, and included the VGA cooling block. I love it. One note on the Northbridge - neither Zalman system comes with one (marketed as optional) and apparently they aren't even available in the USA yet. I just used an extra VGA cooler - similar enough that it's an easy mod. Only down side is the pump doesn't automatically switch with the PC. I'm adding a solid-state relay to do that. But the coolers are excellent and totally quiet. You have to put your head by the tower to hear the pump and can only hear it if the room is quiet.

If you think you've never had spumoni, you've probably come pretty close. It's basically the ancestor of Neapolitan ice cream: layers of pistachio, cherry and chocolate ice creams, mixed with nuts and bits of candied fruit. See chef Walter in action.
See us featured in Wine Spectator's Restaurant Awards for one of the best wine list in the world. What an honor. Thank you.
Italian cuisine is consumed so frequently here that most Americans bleed marinara. But how much do you really know about Italy's dishes, beyond the exotic pronunciations? We asked a bunch of lauded chefs at Italian joints to give us the overrated meals you should give a rest and the underrated stuff you need to try next. And if you're looking for a place to test these new entrees, well, they can help with that.
"Our office is in the Rainier Tower so most of my restaurant choices are in that area. My favorite is Tulio Ristorante. The wine-cellar motif feels sophisticated yet not too stuffy. The atmosphere is lively without being overly noisy, making it the perfect place for a working lunch. The service is outstanding and the menu offers a diverse range of Italian dishes. A few of my favorites include the margherita pizza, the orecchiette, and the risotto."
Anyone who's dined out in the last half-decade has experienced the explosion in restaurant noise—a trend owing to fashionably unupholstered interiors, ever louder music, and restaurateurs who believe that the noisier the scene, the greater the perceived popularity. (Some restaurateurs hire consultants to design noise in.) Still, no issue more reliably galls diners than excessive restaurant noise. Even the young and the hip confide that they'd like to hear their companion occasionally. You already know the places to avoid. How about 20 spots where the food's terrific and the ambience goes easy on the cochlea? Tulio!
"As a celebration for the feast of the seven fishes, this warm Italian restaurant has a special holiday-inspired menu for the evening. Enjoy multiple traditional dishes including vongole ripieno, stuffed clams with buttered breadcrumbs, and kurobuta pork shank with ricotta whipped potatoes."
"Celebrating the Italian tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes, Tulio will be seafooding it up Christmas Eve, with crab arancini, stuffed clams, and more available a la carte."
"On Christmas Eve, book a table at Tulio, the restaurant where Chef Walter Pisano serves his Feast of Seven Fishes, a traditional Italian dinner."
"Instead, I like to make dishes like The Five B's, from chef Walter Pisano, of Seattle's Tulio Ristorante. His dish is a baked rigatoni with butternut squash and burrata, topped with sage buttered bread crumbs - in other words, a rich, fancy mac'n'cheese."
"At the onsite restaurant Tulio, diners enjoy locally-sourced, regional Italian cuisine plus nightly wine hours that feature Washington state varietals. Travel Leisure magazine recently recognized Tulio as one of the 'best Italian restaurants in the U.S.,' and loyal fans return for the cuisine prepared by local celebrity chef Walter Pisano 'with fresh, seasonal ingredients and a dash of Seattle sizzle.'"
"From the wine-cellar motif to the dark-wood square windows with sheer drapes, this warm downtown Italian space is a great place to have a larger party for up to 65. And if the room alone doesn't sell you, the restaurant does complimentary menu customization (there's even a special holiday menu), background music, and candles to set the mood."
"9. Margherita pizza from Tulio Ristorante at the Hotel Vintage Park, Seattle
The cooking staff is most frequently asked to whip up classic and simple margherita pizzas for its guests to enjoy in their rooms. The pie is made with fresh mozzarella, sweet basil and tomato. As of press time, guests have ordered 299 pizzas since the start of 2013."
"Chef Walter's Tulio Ristorante is a longtime local fave and is often listed as one of the best Italian eateries in the country. (Try the famous sweet potato gnocchi, and you'll see why.) Guests of Vintage Park can book a mozzarella-stretching class with Pisano to try their hand at creating traditional cheese from a curd base."
"For delicious Italian cuisine in the heart of downtown Seattle, do not miss Tulio Ristorante. Chef Walter Pisano serves up classic fare - affordable and fresh dishes that consistently impress with bold flavors - with a warmth and hospitality that make you feel like a member of the family."
"This award-winning Italian restaurant in downtown Seattle serves its elegantly infused shake at the sort of dark, polished wood bar that can only be called 'handsome.' Put on your dressing slippers and sidle up for the Shake of Life, made from Finlandia vodka, Giffard vanilla liqueur, Kahlua, Meletti Cioccolato liqueur, vanilla gelato and a shot of espresso for good measure."
"Executive Chef Walter Pisano opened Tulio is 1992, naming the restaurant after his father, John Tulio Pisano. His menus reflect his love and passion for making honest Italian food."
As a tribute to the excellent experience Tulio provides, OpenTable.com diners voted us onto the 2013 OpenTable Diners' Choice lists.
Chef Walter Pisano of Tulio Ristorante in Seattle was featured in this month's column: "Really great olive oil. Good olive oil is like a great sauce; it can make or break a meal. The type of olive oil I use depends on how I want to finish a dish. For example, I may use a peppery olive oil for a certain meat, or a fruitier olive oil with a fish dish. Mayber a buttery olive oil with some pasta."
"Readers love it for not just the solid Italian food, but also the 'great wine and a funky wine-themed hotel. What's not to love?' Other votes for Tulio 'for being a Seattle institution' and 'I always take visitors there for a memorable (and delicious) meal while in town.' But mostly readers seem to love Tulio for the 'great food, excellent service and it doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant.'"
"A quickie breakfast at Tulio, an Italian place in a nearby hotel, got our Saturday morning off and runnig with the basics: hearty strips of bacon and cage-free eggs, some rosemary potatoes, and a frittata full of grilled veggies, fresh herbs, and goat cheese washed down with some excellent coffee - naturally - made for a fine morning feast."
"Our dinner at Tulio was amazing. The staff was fantastic, and the food delicious. The restaurant is small and cozy with dim lighting and a great wine selection. The menu consists of traditional Italian dishes. There was nothing we tasted that we did not like! And did I mention how great the staff was. It was a busy Saturday night, and service was fantastic."
"With 'Jersey Boys' about to start another run at 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, chef Walter Pisano of Tulio Ristorante is reaching out to folks from New Jersey from April 4 to May 4. Pisano, who hails from Hazlet, N.J., plans to have the music of Frankie Valli, the Four Seasons and Frank Sinatra playing at Tulio's, and will give a free slice of clam pizza Monday through Thursday to anyone who can prove they have a "Joisey" connection. Hey, even a piece of mail from the Garden State will do."
"But don't write off romaine quite yet. If you heart Caesar salad, turn to Tulio (1100 Fifth Ave., Seattle). There, romaine hearts fly first class, with white anchovies and focaccia croutons."
"A fedora, or maybe even spats, wouldn't look out of place in Tulio's handsome 1920s-era dining room. The food is far more contemporary. An Italian eyebrow might tilt at smoked salmon ravioli with lemon cream or grilled calamari with spicy Tuscan Rice beans and a parsley aioli, but chef Walter Pisano treats his ingredients harmoniously."
"Tulio chef Walter Pisano said the restaurant imports corn and rice-based pastas from Italian company Il Macchiaiolo as a gluten-free alternative to his house-made fresh pasta."
"At Tulio, they are courting "legally" wed same sex couples to have a celebration dinner at the restaurant. If a couple brings a marriage certificate they can receive a French 74 cocktail on the house."
"On Christmas Eve, book a table at Tulio, the hotel restaurant where Chef Walter Pisano serves his Feast of Seven Fishes, a traditional Italian dinner."
"While the rain filled the view out the street-level window, I felt instantly at home in the familiar-seeming, dark wood accented restaurant. Chef Walter Pisano has been cooking fresh, soulful Italian food here since 1992, and the room that Thursday. There's no pretension or fuss at Tulio, just honest-good cooking served on clean white tablecloths. Chef Walter wandered out of the kitchen often to check on his guests and chat with me about the dining scene in Brooklyn, where his Italian family is from. My lunch that day was a perfectly-prepared piece of local fish adorned with a pile of tender seasonal veggies. It was just the reviving meal I needed. By the time I was finishing my pillowy cold pistachio semifreddo and second cup of strong hot coffee, the rain had stopped and I felt completely taken care of."
"Executive chef Walter Pisano of Tulio Ristorante in Seattle is celebrating two decades in business with his top-of-the-line Italian restaurant Tulio, which was recently selected as one of the top 30 Italian restaurants in the United States by Travel and Leisure Magazine."
"Tulio has been a Seattle mainstay for two decades - one of the premiere restaurants for rustic Italin cuisine and wonderful ambience. The restaurant contains precious memories for founder and Executive Chef Walter Pisano, who pours his heart into every dish."
"This month marks 20 years since the chef opened downtown Italian staple Tulio Ristorante, and little has changed since - not the menu, the regulars, or the pasta pounds we put on our hips."
"Next to Hotel Vintage Park, chef Walter Pisano has made a name for himself with Tulio, a reliable source for boldly flavored, sophisticated dishes in an unpretentious, warm setting. Consider the sweet potato gnocchi with sage butter and mascarpone; the linguine with local clams, preserved lemon, chile flake, and garlic bread crumbs; or the braised Kurobuta pork shank with ricotta-whipped potatoes and mostarda."
"And now comes word that Travel Leisure has named stately downtown Tulio one of the best Italian restaurants in the U.S."
"What's better than a giant meatball? A giant meatball topped with burrata, of course. For the uninitiated, burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made with mozzarella and cream. Once you punch through an outer membrane of mozzarella, this sweet, creamy, cheesy deliciousness oozes out. 'Life-changing' is not an exaggeration, at least for me, of the first time you taste burrata - I can remember mine to the moment (years ago, at Tulio Ristorante in Seattle)."
"Though he's originally from New York, Chef Walter Pisano has helped elevate Seattle's food scene for decades. His convival Tulio's restaurant, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, is consistently named of the city's best Italian spots and continues to draw devoted locals and visiting celebs. Don't miss the homemade pastas, perfectly grilled meats and the sweet potato gnocchi appetizer (just go ahead and order two of those). They also offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menus."
"And at Tulio, Red Star's sister restaurant in Seattle, chef Walter Pisano has created an entire menu of 'desserts for grownups', featuring items like a prosecco float with honey gelato, a triple chocolate gelato infused with espresso grappa, and a sambuca sundae with toasted fennel praline and vanilla gelato."
"Chef Walter Pisano's exacting Italian food has earned a loyal fan club, but doesn't quite attract the newcomers it should...But closer inspection rewards with inspired-Italian-with-a-flourish fare - a melting braised pork shank over fat corona beans crowned with horseradish gremolata; crispy duck over farro studded with marinated figs; a distinctively seasoned pasta alla chitarra with braised pork, rosemary, and ricotta - and a record of consistency unusual in a hotel property."
"At Tulio Ristorante in Seattle, Executive Chef Walter Pisano has long had a following for his baccala - a spread of salted cod mixed with potatoes and garlic - but its popularity grew by partnering it with a semisweet tomato jam. 'When you put something like "jam," something that sounds a bit sweet, on the menu,' says Pisano, 'it's more appealing to the average person.'"
Chef Walter's dad knew his way around a kitchen. Here's his answer for what he remembers his dad cooking while growing up: "Scrambled eggs with ricotta."
"In Seattle, chef Walter Pisano of Tulio Ristorante has a 'desserts for grown-ups' menu that includes a prosecco float made of honey gelato, honey-infused whipped cream and prosecco."
"At Seattle's venerable Italian spot Tulio Ristorante, Chef Walter Pisano works the stalks into salads, purees them as an accompaniment to duck and uses them to amplify cheese platters...As delicious as the savory dishes sound, however, for rhubarb lovers it's hard to beat dessert at Tulio: a rhubarb crostata served with a scooop of rhubarb gelato. 'Rhubarb on rhubarb!' Pisano exclaims."

Follow The Yellow Lined Road - Oh My!
Apparently, the city planners in Cambridge, MA can't decide whether there should be 2 lanes of traffic headed toward Boston and only one into cambridge down Mass Ave or vice versa. Right now they're trying to have only one lane headed towards the Mass Ave Bridge into Boston. Despite the fact that they made this move at least 3-5 months ago, they have yet to remove the previous double yellow lines and now there are 4 yellow lines. What is up with this? Is this some bizarre "field sobriety test" they are running at my expense or is someone looking for a prize at the next Darwin Awards and secretly filming from the MIT student center? Because I've witnessed plently of stone sober people flunk in the middle of the day and practically run me off the road. I know it is right in front of MIT, but creating this MENSA field sobriety test is so unfair. Or is the problem that Cambridge blew their 2008 turnpentine budget in February? I've lived here a long time and can say without hesitation that people don't need another excuse to be sucky drivers. They couldn't have accidentally left them there! could they have?

College Station, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - James Siakam scored a career-high 22 points to go along with 10 rebounds, as the Vanderbilt Commodores topped Texas A&M, 66-55, in Southeastern Conference play at Reed Arena.
Kyle Fuller added 19 points to help the Commodores (10-8, 2-4 SEC) end a two- game slide.
Kourtney Roberson had 14 points and 10 rebounds to pace the Aggies (12-7, 3-3), who lost at home for only the second time in 13 tries this season.
Neither team shot better than 40 percent from the floor in the first half, although Vanderbilt made four 3-pointers as it took a slim 27-25 lead into the break.
The Commodores took control with a 13-0 run midway through the second stanza, and Texas A&M was held to 32.3-percent shooting over the final 20 minutes.
In addition to playing stout defense throughout the game, the Commodores took care of business at the foul line by converting 19-of-23 attempts (.826).

La Fundación Mezcalería
A popular bicyclists' hangout, especially on Wednesday, this retro-styled bar has an excellent selection of organic mezcals and an atmosphere conducive to knocking 'em back. Careful though: stuff packs a mean punch.
A popular bicyclists' hangout, especially on Wednesday, this retro-styled bar has an excellent selection of organic mezcals and an atmosphere conducive to knocking 'em back. Careful though: stuff packs a mean punch.
Surprisingly, despite the men-wearing-construction-outfits Village People vibe, this is not a gay bar. It's got good pool tables and is popular with guys and gals, gays and straights, locals and tourists, probably because of its reasonably priced beer, which seems to be a universal attraction.
Part bar, part art gallery, Casa Pompidou packs them in on weekends with live DJ sets in an open-air patio with colorful murals. The casa also has a pebbly restaurant area where you can order wood-fired pizza, and the art gallery's small exhibitions are usually worth checking out.
Around since long before the real estate offices and spring-breakers, Los Mandiles still makes the perfect spot for an ice cold beer and a stiff drink for fans of sidewalk tables and old-school bars.
This pleasant open-air bar stages live trova on Sunday, and on Friday and Saturday DJs spin electronica, reggae and reggaeton tracks. It's about eight blocks west of the plaza.
Popular with backpackers and meridiano (local) would-be backpackers, this place keeps it real with a pool table, a big beer garden out back and live music acts.
Take a taxi to the Prolongación de Montejo, where you'll have your choice of bumping discos and uberchic lounges. Most charge admission.A local favorite is El Pache
This smoky bar fills up with leather-skinned expats who sit around watching the pool tables while the party crowd fills up the front room. It's a cool place.
The giant, green Rockodile is a bar-cum-disco attracting the party crowd on weekends with thumping music and the obligatory whistle blowing.
Jam-packed with Asian knickknacks and serving up fusion food in a casual environment, Slavia hosts DJ sessions from Thursday to Saturday.
Sparks fly at this bar-restaurant that often features live music. Test your liquid courage at nightly karaoke sessions.
Juice up for the day at this tiny place, which just has chilled juices (no smoothies). It's near the market.

Newbie memory stick question
My new Th55 is on the way. There are so many memory sticks out there. Anyone have a prefrence manufacturer, duo , or pro?
Magic a good thing or bad?
Manufacturer doesn't matter.
You DO NOT need a magic gate for ANYTHING no matter WHAT Sony says.
Get one that's the size you want at the lowest price you can find. I've seen 128MB for about $40 in a brick & mortar store . . . I'm sure you could do MUCH better on line.
Go for Pro, or maybe Duo if you use or ar likely to get anything thatr uses Duo.
Manufacturer matter very little - IMHO go for cheapest manufacturer.
Avoid white MagicGate sticks unless you use ATRAC. But you probably don't :)

Now that it's spring, maybe you've decided it's time to clean out the medicine cabinet. Maybe you'd rather your teenagers not be tempted by those dusty bottles of Vicodin or other forgotten prescription drugs.
But we're told not to flush medications down the toilet because the drugs can taint rivers and lakes. Traces can also get into drinking water.
And we're supposed to be careful about chucking them in the trash, because that can pose a risk to young children who might eat them by accident.
Prescription opioid painkillers like Vicodin and OxyContin have fueled a decade-long rise in drug overdose deaths, with more than half of the 38,000 deaths in 2010 due to opioids, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And prescription drugs, including narcotics, sleeping pills and diabetes pills are among the ones that pose high risks to kids.
OK, so it's good to get rid of this stuff. But what to do with it?
The Drug Enforcement Administration knows. This Saturday, April 27, is National Prescription Take-Back Day. Expired or unwanted prescription drugs can be dropped off at a site near you, no questions asked.
But we here at Shots had questions. We typed in NPR's Zip code into the dropoff site locator online and found that they're super-convenient. They're also almost all police departments. Oh, that and the Pentagon parking lot.
We're wondering if it's wise to show up at a cop shop with a bagful of Schedule II drugs, since possession by anyone other than the person on the prescription is a felony.
"It's really important for us to let people know that we're not doing anything to track people's behavior," Barbara Carreno, a DEA spokeswoman, tells Shots. "We are not in any way tracking or paying attention to who brings what. It's all dumped in together."
In fact, the DEA encourages people to empty out their pill bottles into plastic bags at home, and just bring the drugs. "Recycle the pill bottles," Carreno says.
The take-back sites are at police stations because the federal Controlled Substances Act requires Schedule II drugs be returned to law enforcement. "And you don't want people hanging around the sites trying to snatch stuff," Carreno adds.
The DEA is in the process of writing new regulations that will make it legal to have Schedule II drug take-backs at pharmacies and other sites. But for now, the police station is the way to go.
Since Take-Back Day started in 2008, people have turned in more than 2 million tons of prescription meds, according to the DEA.
Where does all the stuff go? The DEA ships it off to incinerators approved by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Portable super from Oz a step closer
"Just because you can, may not mean you should."Featured comment
The Australian senate has passed legislation allowing returning New Zealanders to bring their retirement savings with them.
The legislation is expected to take effect from July 1, 2013.
Now, Kiwis who work in Australia must contribute to an Australian complying superannuation fund.
However, the money is locked into the scheme until they reach retirement age.
Under the new rules, savings from certain Australian funds will be able to be transferred into New Zealand KiwiSaver funds – and vice versa.
Finance Minister Bill English welcomed the news of the senate's move.
"I acknowledge Australia's support for this important next step in the single economic market programme between our two countries," he says in a statement.
Comments and questions4
Just because you can, may not mean you should.
I'll be bring my Kiwisaver into my own self-managed super as soon as possible.
Goodbye you greedy fund managers!
Be very very wary on this one - refer to Section 70 (b) of the NZ Social Security Act
I had a Canadian Govt compulsory super fund (CPP) which I paid into along with my employer for over 20 years while living in Vancouver, (this fund by the way has no contribution from the Canadian Govt - unlike Kiwisaver- so in fact it is in reality an annuity fund) and yet under NZ's current Social Security Act the monthy funds I receive from this retirement fund are deducted from my NZ Super despite the fact I am a 4th generation Kiwi and have worked in NZ for a total of over 25 years (seems new Kiwis have it made, just 10 years as a citizen, and the full pension is available at retirement)
I appealed this discrimatory practice with the Ministry of Social Development at a hearing in October which was rejected based on Section 70 of the Act - the reason for the decision -
"Section 70 is clear in that any overseas pension that the Applicant or their partner receives administered by or on behalf of the government of that country for the same or simular reasons to why we pay any benefit or pension in New Zealand, is deductible"
Seems to me under the Act this must also apply to the Australian compulsory super plan and if not, why then should it apply to the Canadian plan, both being commonwealth countries, both Govt compulsory retirement plan, surely the same rules must apply.
Be warned, when it comes time to draw out your Kiwisaver at retirement, the portion of funds you've transferred from Aussy may just be deducted from your NZ Super.

Outside the ordinary
The crew added a huge sleeper with numerous amenities, including queen-size air-adjustable bed, electric fireplace and a barbecue pit that extends out from the exterior. The exterior design is blue with icebergs, and Crane and Jackie love traveling in it now.
The truck was featured on the show's February debut episode, which everyone on the road seems to have seen, Crane says. "A cop pulled me over in Texas to get his picture taken with my truck," he says.
Driver Michael Zuck also found himself in the spotlight recently. Zuck, a company driver for Kindrid Enterprises, of Taylorville, Ind., was surprised to see "polar bears" listed as the load on his Qualcomm.
Kindrid leases to FedEx Custom Critical, which was contracted to move three polar bears to the zoo in Memphis, Tenn. – 2-year-old Payton and 3-year-old Haley from Chicago and 4-year-old Cranbeary from Denver. Polar bears are the largest land carnivore and can weigh up to almost 1,000 pounds.
The Chicago polar bears were first crated and flown to Memphis. Zuck, of Lansing, Mich., arrived at the Memphis airport and was immediately directed by FedEx employees over to an airplane. Payton and Haley were unloaded from the plane and loaded into Zuck's trailer. The two bears were sedated, and bags of ice topped their cages.
Zuck put load bars in front and back of the cages, strapped each cage into the truck and kept the van temperature at 65 degrees. Still, even invisible to traffic inside the van, they bumped the cage, causing the entire truck to shake.
The animals drew attention, starting with airport workers to the TV crews and crowds waiting at the Memphis zoo.
"I felt like the MVP of the Superbowl when I pulled in," Zuck recalls. "It was kind of astonishing having that much attention."
The following week, Zuck learned the zoo had requested him to move Cranbeary from the airport to the Memphis zoo. Cranbeary didn't shake the truck, but Zuck could hear repeated thumps from the bear, who wanted out of his cage.
"I wanted him to have a good ride," Zuck says, "but I think I enjoyed the move more than he did."

Tracy's firefighters beat the police department team for the second year in a row by a score of 39 to 28, but organizers said the true winners were the children.
The event raised $1,500 of scholarship funds for local high school seniors Yordon Coss, Alejandra Manriquez, Viridiana Inguanzo and Ross Anderson; and $500 for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program at local schools. The four students were chosen as winners of an essay contest about goals for the future. Their entries also contained recommendations from community members.
Tracy police officer Rich Graham, who shared organizational duties of the event with Michelle Elmore and Christina O'Neal, said the final figures should be finalized by Monday, April 9.
Graham said although it was not fun losing to the firefighters, he said everyone had a good time and really enjoyed playing.
"Once you play in one (game), you get those competitive juices going," he said.
The captain of the firefighter team, Capt. Paul O'Neal said the key to the game was raising money for the local charities.
"The event worked out really good. A lot bigger than last year and think it will get bigger in years to come," he said. "It's always nice to win, but that's not always why we play."
Describing the win, O'Neal said, "It's more bragging rights and we get to hold onto the trophy," which will be on display at the fire administration building on Central Avenue.
