What are you in the mood for tonight—Italian? Mexican? Chinese? Hold the phone! Takeout is tempting, but instead of ordering out (again) you can make a tastier, healthier dinner that will satisfy your craving and be ready in the same amount of time it would take to find the restaurant menu, decide what everyone wants, dial, order and wait.
When I sent an office email to gather staff picks from the September/October issue of EatingWell, I was hoping at least two or three of my busy colleagues would take a minute to write back. But it turned out the issue was so enthusiastically received that I have 9 favorite recipes to share with you.

Don't be fooled by the book title. The FastDiet (Atria, 2013), by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer, doesn't call for a total fast—or eating quickly. Also known as the 5:2 diet, it has you adopt a lifelong pattern of fasting two days a week and being "gloriously free from calorie counting" for five days. On those two fasting days, you can eat 500 or 600 calories—for women and men, respectively.

This quinoa veggie burger recipe is a meat-lover's burger: toasted pecans, mushrooms, Cheddar cheese, fresh herbs and red quinoa pack this vegetarian burger full of delicious flavor. It's one of the new tasty quinoa recipes I liked from the last issue of EatingWell Magazine, so I was happy when my husband surprised me by saying, "Let's make these quinoa veggie burgers." (He's mostly a don't-fence-me-in creator in the kitchen, but he was so inspired by that delicious-looking photo that he was willing to follow a recipe for a change.)

Pan Gravy
Rich and flavorful turkey gravy is an essential part of Thanksgiving dinner, and these virtually foolproof recipes are sure to delight. Choose from gravy recipes flavored with white wine, bourbon, cider, or simply delicious pan drippings. Be careful: These gravy recipes are so good they might even rival the taste of the turkey!
This gravy is made right in the roasting pan once the turkey is done. Flour cooked in the turkey drippings makes the gravy thick and silky.
2 of 6
Turkey Gravy
Add carrots and onions to the turkey roasting pan in order to make this pan gravy. Deepen flavor and color with dry sherry or red wine.
3 of 6
Rich Gravy
The flavor base of this gravy comes from the turkey neck, along with carrots, onion, and celery that have roasted beneath the bird, slowly browning and absorbing the turkey drippings. White wine rounds out the flavors, and all-purpose flour provides the thickening.
4 of 6
White-Wine Gravy
Make the most of the juices baked onto your turkey's roasting pan by adding dry white wine to release their flavors, then putting the drippings back in the pan. This gravy is a companion to our Roast Turkey with Rosemary and Lemon, but drippings from any turkey will work.
5 of 6
Bourbon Gravy
Dry white wine, bourbon, and a touch of cream make this gravy ultra-rich. The liquor cooks off and leaves behind the round, caramel-nuanced flavor of the bourbon.
6 of 6
Cider Gravy
This comprehensive recipe begins by making stock from turkey giblets, celery, carrots, onion, and aromatic seasonings. The gravy incorporates turkey pan drippings and gets a subtle sweetness from apple cider.

Re: Looking for Hightech sci fi meets magicCoanda-1910 May 30, 2011 10:06 AM (in response to ssgtbwoods)
Such books are often called science fantasy novels. The wikipedia page on them has some novels and series you could consider.
A little digging reveals this list on goodreads: Books with the best blend of sci-fi and fantasy.
I recently picked up:
Although I haven't read more than a handful of pages so far. However, I suspect at least some of the Darkover novels will meet your specifications.
You also might look into some of L.E. Modesitt, Jr's works - for example, Magi'i of Cyador (Recluce Series #10) has some definite scifi elements to it, but is primarily fantasy.
David Weber has written several works like that - in particular, I'd highlight In Fury Born (Fury Series #2) . By the way, you can find an ebook version of that book, but not from B&N - Baen Books, the publisher, has their own ebook distributor, so you won't find Baen ebooks on B&N... which is a little inconvenient, but I suppose DRM-free ebooks for $6 would make the rest of the competition look pretty silly.
Hopefully something in there sounds interesting. I haven't read any Warhammer books, so I don't have much basis for comparison.
Edit: Oh - and you might also get some suggestions if you ask on the Fantasy & Science Fiction board here.

Third-generation mobile systems provide access to a wide range of services and enable mobile users to communicate, regardless of their geographical location and their roaming characteristics. Due to the growing number of mobile users and global connectivity, one of the most critical issues regarding the design of universal mobile telecommunications service (UMTS) networks pertains to the assignment of Node Bs to radio network controllers (RNCs), which is an NP-hard problem. Hence, for real-sized mobile networks, this problem cannot be practically solved by using exact methods. This paper proposes a hybrid genetic algorithm (HA) with migration to solve the problem of assigning Bs to RNCs as a design step of large-scale UMTS mobile networks. Computational results obtained from extensive tests confirm the effectiveness of the HA to provide superior solutions compared to other heuristic methods that are well documented in the literature. Such an algorithm is particularly suitable to design large-scale cellular mobile networks with Node Bs whose quantity varies between 100 and 500 and whose the number of RNCs ranges between five and ten.

Comments about 'Proposed changes to Utah liquor laws drawing many voices'

How much money does the Utah County Department of Drug and Alcohol Prevention
and Treatment get from the state each year? It is, after all, the primary duty
of every government body to protect its own existence.
As for everybody else, just remember, the free market is nothing to fear. Embrace Liberty.

Be honest. Anyone wanting alcohol can get it now, regardless of their age or
state of inebriation. That has been true for decades, even before, during, and
after prohibition, so all this kabuki theater about "protecting public
safety" is delusional.
There are really only three issues:
1- What limits will be placed on age to purchase and who will enforce them?
2- Who will legally sell alcohol in the state- (a) private enterprise in free market competition (perhaps with some sort of licensing) or (b) state owned and operated stores?
3- How can the state make money off the sale of alcohol, under the pretense of treating drunks, preventing accidents, or whatever. (They really want the money, regardless of how it ends up being spent.)
The only rational answers are:
1- State sets restrictions and enforces them.
2- Private enterprise.
3- A "sin tax" per unit of sale (six pack, fifth, gallon, on volume or weighted by alcohol content). Simple and easy to enforce.
Now, with that solved, get back to the real issues.

Taxes and silly rules drive people (me) out of state to purchase. And why is it that those that seek to 'protect' us never say a word about cigarettes? Look at the stats, folks. It could be construed as hypocritical to ignore a gorilla this big in the room. Or do you have another agenda?

Re: Hutterite
No one every got killed from smoking and driving(at least not from the smoking itself) that I've ever heard of. My mom got hit by a drunk driver when she was pregnant with me by someone pulling out of the state liquor store--in Utah!! I say have free enterprise if people can keep their stupid drunk friends from driving intoxicated....I don't drink alcohol and really don't care if you do but if you decide to drive then you've crossed a big line.

Many - most - of us who support privatization are perfectly fine with increased penalties for DUI, especially if that DUI results in bodily harm or property damage. That said, none of are would be better protected by that if those penalties aren't applied equally to all offenders. Too often a call from the offender's Bishop to the DA has gotten higher-profile people off the hook, or at least suspended or reduced sentences. That needs to stop for everyone's safety.
BTW, people have gotten killed when a driver was distracted, trying to light a cigarette.

CUPERTINO, Calif. --February 10, 1997-- In recognition of the fact that the Internet is used more frequently for sending confidential information that is likely to get into the wrong hands, Symantec Corporation (Nasdaq: SYMC) makers of the award-winning Norton Your Eyes Only and other security solutions today announced the release of Norton Secret Stuff for Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT. The new application is free to the public and is designed to prevent unauthorized parties from tapping into a user's "secret stuff."
As an introductory offer to end users, Symantec is offering Norton Secret Stuff for free through the company's web site located at: <link removed> Norton Secret Stuff is designed for the millions of computer users that send e-mails to people located all over the world.
"Users are increasingly concerned about security on the Internet, whether they are sharing data, sending e-mail, or just browsing around", said Mary Engstrom, vice president of product marketing. "Symantec will continue to respond to customer requests by creating solutions like Norton Secret Stuff and Norton Your Eyes Only, two products for users who need easy-to-use data protection. And as part of our desire to educate users on just how easy it it to stay safe while on the Internet, we are happy to make Norton Secret Stuff available for free for a limited time."
Norton Secret Stuff Allows Users to Send Secure Files to Anyone, Anywhere
Norton Secret Stuff allows users to create self-decrypting executables that can be sent to anyone. One problem with existing desktop encryption products is that they require the recipient and sender to have the same encryption software. With Norton Secret Stuff, users can send their private information to users of DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT, even if they do not have Norton Secret Stuff installed. The sender only needs to tell the recipient the password. When the recipient runs the executable they'll be prompted for the password, after which the file decrypts itself.
Norton Secret Stuff secures the data using the 32-bit Blowfish encryption algorithm, therefore it's approved to export outside the U.S. and Canada by the U.S. government. This means users can exchange encrypted files with people all over the world.
Norton Secret Stuff is written by the security experts of the award-winning Norton Your Eyes Only for Windows 95. Your Eyes Only (YEO) has won a Stellar Award from Windows Sources and Best of LAN Times from LAN Times. In the December 2nd issue of PC Magazine, YEO won Editors' Choice against PGP's Business Edition, AT&T's SecretAgent and RSA's SecurPC for Windows 95. YEO won Government Best Buy from Federal Computer Week in the December 2nd issue against AT&T's SecretAgent, PGP Business Edition and RSA Secure.
Secret Stuff
|Create self-decrypting executables
|Maximum number of files and directories in one executable
|Compress files while encrypting
|Support international systems such as those running DOS/V and Japanese NEC machines
Pricing and Availability
Norton Secret Stuff is available to end users through Symantec's Web site free of charge. The product will not be downloaded after April 1, 1997 but any installed copies will continue to operate normally. The product requires an IBM-PC or 100% compatible PC running Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or Windows NT and uses under 600K of disk space.

Georgia teachers rallied at the State Capitol yesterday.
They're calling on Governor Nathan Deal to fix a healthcare system they say is broken.
The group is called Tragic.
That stands for teachers rally to advocate for Georgia insurance choices.
The group was formed in January.
It has more than 14,000 members.
Founder Ashley Cline says the issue is more than paying more for healthcare.
She thinks it's putting people in danger by not going to the doctor when they should.
Governor Deal recently added $100 million to the state health benefit plan to lower the cost to state employees and return co-pays, but some teachers are still skeptical.

My first Keurig Special Edition stopped working within a year. When I called the company they said it was out of warranty and that the only thing they could do is offer me a small discount if I purchased another one. So I took their offer. That second machine lasted less than a year too. Both machines died in the same way, they both just stopped working without any warning or indication. It made no noise and the not ready light was on. The funny part is that when my first machine broke the company made me feel as if I caused it because I didn't run vinegar through it once a month. Well, now what because with the second machine I did. Right now I am using an old traditional machine that I had as a back up after the first one broke but, I must confess I don't like the coffee as much as. Once you have a Keuring it's hard to go back. My dilemia is what to do now. Do I invest in a third machine knowing it will break within the year or just throw in the towel and go back to the old filter and canister type. If the machines where a lot less money I wouldn't hesitate to replace it once a year because I do love the coffee it produces but, at [$] every year plus the higher cost of the coffee I can't justify it especially in this economy. Hummm......Keurig when are you going to realize that you have a real problem and that you are going to have to figure out a better plan with your consumers. If not, at some point you might find yourself out of business. Most people aren't going to pay to replace the machine more than once or twice and if you don't get it right by then you will loose them. Not because of the coffee quality. It is 2 fold between the poor quality of the machine and minimal life expentancy. Add to it the fact that you are aware of the problem and in my opinion have not done anything to correct it does not look good on you. Also that you only send a replacement within time period is a problem. A lot of the machines break after the warranty. Not because they are old or misused but, because it just took a little longer for the problem to occur. If you want the customers to be happy you might want to consider doing more to ensure that happens. The public is becoming aware of the problem and once it gets out in the news your will have a marketing nightmare on your hands. I think after buying 2 machines I'm done. Simply put I can't afford to buy another and I don't trust it will be any different so what's the point. After reading the reviews I've also come to the conclusion that buying a less expensive model still at $100.+ I'll still have the same problem. As a matter of fact it seemed that they have more problems than the model I had.Buyers beware.

[...]We bought this coffeemaker in April 2009 when one of those sample ladies in [...] approached us. Got a great deal on it, and they threw in 100 K-cups. It's just two of us -- my husband and I -- and we used to waste a lot of coffee, between it just getting old sitting in the pot or just being on the run. I also felt duty-bound to finish off each pot, which made me drink more coffee in a time period than I would like, and leading to my reheating cold coffee.We took it home and fired it up. It was loud. VERY loud. Like a jet engine. But the coffee was superb! After a month or so, the sound got louder. I called customer support, and the lady told me to put a mousepad beneath it. Um...ok. It muffled it some. The coffee was still excellent. A few months later, despite my monthly descaling -- which involves jug after jug of vinegar, which has to sit in the receptacle for a minimum of 4 hours -- it simply stopped pulling water up. I called CS again. The lady had me squinting my senior citizen eyes to find the eye of a needle inside the machine and then wanted me to find a paperclip and stick it in there. I eventually convinced her that I did not have a paperclip or the patience for this procedure. They sent me a second one, free of charge, with two boxes of K-cups.[...] Second machine was not noisy; CS told me it had been redesigned. But 2 months later, it stopped again. I called, this time not so patient sounding. After a series of questions which led me to believe that the average caller is an idiot, the lady told me I was not leaving the vinegar in long enough. Six hours would have been better. She said that the fact that I live in northern Maine is likely the reason that I am having problems, as well water doesn't work well with the machine. I told her three times I don't HAVE well water, that we're on city water. I probably called her a name, as I had not had my coffee. She sent me a new one. That was April. Last week, it stopped again. I asked CS if I could send them more money and get a higher-end model, since I love the concept and love the coffee. Perhaps the shoddiness is price-based. I was informed that they don't allow upgrades. WHAT?I escalated the call and got a supervisor. She told me that they could make an exception, but that they are out of stock, so I would have to wait a few months -- without a machine -- for their Select or their Platinum models. She made no mention of the Breville, so I dropped the subject. This time, they want me to send the entire machine back as proof of purchase.I asked how to empty the water out of the reservoir. Was told it is not possible to empty. Send with water inside the machine. In a special package they will be sending. WHAT?

Worked well for the first year
By Stephanie

About Me Everyday Drinker
Comments about Keurig Special Edition Brewing System:
I loved this brewer while it worked. This brewer makes a cup very quickly, and it's not excessively loud. We had no problems the first year. Shortly into the second , it would stop brewing cups, even though I descaled it regularly. Just a few days ago (1 year 8 months of ownership), it stopped working. I tried everything under the sun to unclog and clean it. I called customer service, but they said they couldn't replace it, but offer a discount on a new one. In my opinion, a coffee brewer that is priced at over $100 needs to last. That is a great deal of money to spend of a COFFEE MACHINE; I expected better durability, or a replacement. A family friend has given us a MINI brewing system, so we will see how that one works out. It's not as fast, but I'll survive. I probably won't be purchasing another keurig brand coffee brewer. For the price hey cost, I would have expected much more use, and a better resolution from customer support than asking me to spend more money. The discount they offered was significant, but for the money that was already paid, I do not think I'm interested in spending any more here.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My last Keurig I never had a problem with it. Had it for 5 years. Loved it. The power switch broke, called Keurig said could not fix that. So I bought a new one through them. I was surprised how fast it came. Still happy, then I plug it in and I thought a Sherman Tank was going through the house. My last one was quite compared to this one. Also says includes a water filter handle, and 1 charcoal filter. WHAT. Where are they. Last but not least The box says K60 WR on this site there is no K60 there is a K65. I will be calling to find out what is going on.

I cannot live without this brewer!
By Vicki
from Buffalo, NY
This brewer is so convenient. It includes a sizable water resevoir, eliminating the need to add water everytime you wish to brew a cup. There are 3 cup sizes to choose from, which is very helpful especially when brewing the brew over ice items into the insulated cups that are very popular in the summer time. I'm not going to lie, this brewer makes some noise, but so what. I would not expect a silent brewer and it's not like it's a problem. I would not even have addressed the noise, except it is something that some users find irritating. Not me, not at all.

This is the third brewer in 4 years. Pump fails even though we only use deionized water and descale it every 2 months. This machine is either not designed well or not manufactured well. If we didn't have so many K-cups on hand, would look at another brand.

i love this machine!
By FloridaKat
from Treasure Coast, Florida
I was surprised at the comments about their machines not brewing or that it was noisy? MY machine is quiet as can be AND have never had any issues with it "not brewing" thank goodness. I've owned mine for approximately 9 months and I use it daily. I havva friend who visits often and he is so impressed and "spoiled" as HE states by this machine that he wants one for his office. He says that when he has to go home and make coffee with his "regular" coffee maker that he is disappointed with the wait time, the flavor and the waste of coffee that he's always having to pour out daily. , lol. I have to say I am a bit spoiled as well now that I've had the convenience of this brewer. I use mine daily for everything from basic coffee's to flavored coffees, tea's, iced beverages, the vitamin over ice drinks, you name it! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Keurig Special Edition Brewer! If anything happens to it I'm definitely replacing it with another Keurig! I'm also going to buy one for my friend who is so enamored with mine!

FEW ORGANIZATIONS are as rigorously democratic as the American Medical Association. Twice each year, its policymaking House of Delegates convenes to debate and act on a wide range of issues affecting medicine. Everything from attitudes toward arctic research to approaches to competition in the provision of medical services is given thorough scrutiny. And a representative voice from virtually every branch of medicine is offered an opportunity to be heard.
It is a somewhat Herculean task, involving mastery of hundreds of closely written pages of information supporting 220 or more resolutions and reports to be acted on at every meeting. Most of the information is mailed to delegates before the meeting begins. Additional resolutions typically await delegates when they reach the meeting site.
The 351 delegates, and like number of alternate delegates, are expected to assimilate the material and act on it in a judicious fashion, taking into account the action's

I first heard about the civil rights-era comic book Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story from Congressman John Lewis in the spring of 2008. I had been working for him less than a year when I was driving him to an event and we got to talking about comic books. I remember Lewis sitting in the front passenger seat as he gently teased me about attending Atlanta's comic convention Dragon Con. But then he said, "You know, there was a comic book during the movement. It was very influential." I was captivated. Could a comic book have played a role in the Civil Rights Movement? If so, how? Could we do it again?
As I came to learn, the story of Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story is tightly tied to the Civil Rights Movement's early days. The true breadth of its history, of who made the comic book and what role it played, has been largely overlooked. Yet, it is a powerful example of an unconventional idea serving as an extraordinary source of inspiration.
The comic tells the story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which successfully helped integrate that city's public transportation. To say that the idea to produce a comic book about civil rights in 1957 was a radical idea would be to understate the overwhelmingly negative attitudes toward comic books at the time. Just three years prior, near the height of McCarthyism, growing anti-comic book sentiment came to a head when the U.S. Senate Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency conducted an investigation and held hearings about the negative effects of comic books on America's youth.
So how did a comic book like Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story come to be made? And in what ways did this comic book play an influential role in the Civil Rights Movement? Well, to answer these questions, I guess you have to start at the beginning.
Comic books, as we know them, came into existence in the 1930s, and by the time America entered the Second World War they were big business. Young people devoured them. As the Allied powers claimed victory, Captain America and his colleagues were selling tens of millions of issues per week. For every comic book sold, five to 10 young people were reading it. Comic books reached more people than any other medium in America. Columbia University professor of journalism David Hajdu estimates in his book The Ten-Cent Plague that their average monthly circulation jumped from close to 17 million copies in 1940 to 68 million in 1953.
In the postwar years, as the world struggled to rebuild and cope with the arrival of the atomic age, young people's taste in comic books took a dark turn toward crime, horror, and lust. Tensions building throughout the war years exploded into comics as the world sifted through the consequences of global conflict. Critics emerged, lambasting comic books as a cause of increasing juvenile delinquency. Churches warned of their dangers. Schools and libraries organized burnings where young people were urged to throw their comic books onto bonfires to purge the lingering scourge from their homes.
Congress, never one to miss a bandwagon, held its hearings on the connection between comic books and juvenile delinquency. Critics such as psychiatrist Fredric Wertham testified to the negative impact of comic books on young people and the corrupting influence of morally ambiguous violence, horror, and sex. The hearings created a firestorm of publicity and public pressure that devastated the comic book industry, despite no significant new legislation being passed.
In an effort to contain the damage, comic book publishers created a self-regulating body that would administer the "Comics Code." Its stamp of approval helped quell the fears of nervous distributors and retailers fearing backlash from potentially controversial content. The Comics Code did little to change public attitudes, and the comic book industry withered.
At the same time in Montgomery, Ala., a movement was born. On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to move from her seat on a Montgomery Area Transit bus. Within hours, a response that would change the course of American history began to take shape.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted for more than a year before Montgomery city officials yielded and allowed bus passengers to sit freely regardless of race. The desegregation of Montgomery city buses was a victory, but, perhaps more importantly, from it emerged new leaders and new alliances that would shape the political dialogue on civil rights and racial equality in the coming decade. The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), which organized carpools, negotiated with Montgomery city leaders, and coordinated legal challenges with the NAACP during the boycott, was led by a charismatic young preacher from Atlanta: Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
During the boycott, King developed a relationship with Rev. Glenn Smiley, a white Methodist minister from Texas, who was then serving as a field secretary of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR). As participation in the boycott grew, Smiley helped organize nonviolence training, supplying materials and publications for the MIA efforts. Ultimately, King and Smiley became so close that it was Smiley who sat next to King aboard the first desegregated Montgomery city bus on Dec. 21, 1956.

These potatoes are very yummy! They are rich, cheesy, and the nutmeg flavor really comes through. They went together very quickly and easily. I did have to cook them almost an hour. I think I may have sliced the potatoes a little thicker than I should have, although I tried to get them very thin. My family really enjoyed these and gave them 2 thumbs up. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper.
Reviewed for ZWT7- THese potatoes were so good- creamy and cheesey- delicious. I couldn't get red potatoes so used nadine potatoes instead. Used freshly grated nutmeg and ground pepper for this dish. Photo also to be posted
Awesome! I made these with a russet potato and cut the recipe back to 2 servings. Now I wish that I'd made the whole recipe. These truly are decadent! So easy and yummy. The nutmeg really added a great touch and these went well with Kona Coffee Rub. Thanks Leslie for a new keeper. I can't wait to make these again. Made for ZWT7 for the Emerald City Shakers.

WATERTOWN, New York, Oct 24 (IPS) - Iraq war veterans now stationed at a base here say that morale among U.S. soldiers in the country is so poor, many are simply parking their Humvees and pretending to be on patrol, a practice dubbed "search and avoid" missions.
Phil Aliff is an active duty soldier with the 10th Mountain Division stationed at Fort Drum in upstate New York. He served nearly one year in Iraq from August 2005 to July 2006, in the areas of Abu Ghraib and Fallujah, both west of Baghdad.
"Morale was incredibly low," said Aliff, adding that he joined the military because he was raised in a poor family by a single mother and had few other prospects. "Most men in my platoon in Iraq were just in from combat tours in Afghanistan."
According to Aliff, their mission was to help the Iraqi Army "stand up" in the Abu Ghraib area of western Baghdad, but in fact his platoon was doing all the fighting without support from the Iraqis they were supposedly preparing to take control of the security situation.
"I never heard of an Iraqi unit that was able to operate on their own," said Aliff, who is now a member of the group Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW). "The only reason we were replaced by an Iraqi Army unit was for publicity."Aliff said he participated in roughly 300 patrols.
"We were hit by so many roadside bombs we became incredibly demoralised, so we decided the only way we wouldn't be blown up was to avoid driving around all the time."
"So we would go find an open field and park, and call our base every hour to tell them we were searching for weapons caches in the fields and doing weapons patrols and everything was going fine," he said, adding, "All our enlisted people became very disenchanted with our chain of command."
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Aliff, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), refused to return to Iraq with his unit, which arrived in Kirkuk two weeks ago. "They've already lost a guy, and they are now fostering the sectarian violence by arming the Sunnis while supporting the Shia politically... classic divide and conquer."
Aliff told IPS he is set to be discharged by the military next month because they claim his PTSD "is untreatable by their doctors".
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the number of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans seeking treatment for PTSD increased nearly 70 percent in the 12 months ending on Jun. 30.
The nearly 50,000 VA-documented PTSD cases greatly exceed the 30,000 military personnel that the Pentagon officially classifies as wounded in both occupations.
VA records show that mental health has become the second-largest area of illness for which veterans of the ongoing occupations are seeking treatment at VA hospitals and clinics. The total number of mental health cases among war veterans increased by 58 percent; from 63,767 on Jun. 30, 2006, to 100,580 on Jun. 30, 2007, according to the VA.
Other active duty Iraq veterans tell similar stories of disobeying orders so as not to be attacked so frequently.
"We'd go to the end of our patrol route and set up on top of a bridge and use it as an over-watch position," Eli Wright, also an active duty soldier with the 10th Mountain Division, told IPS. "We would just sit with our binoculars and observe rather than sweep. We'd call in radio checks every hour and say we were doing sweeps."Wright added, "It was a common tactic, a lot of people did that. We'd just hang out, listen to music, smoke cigarettes, and pretend."
The 26-year-old medic complained that his unit did not have any armoured Humvees during his time in Iraq, where he was stationed in Ramadi, capital of the volatile Al Anbar province.
"We put sandbags on the floors of our vehicles, which had canvas doors," said Wright, who was in Iraq from September 2003 until September 2004. "By the end of our tour, we were bolting any metal we could find to our Humvees. Everyone was doing this, and we didn't get armoured Humvees in country until after we left."
Other veterans, like 25-year-old Nathan Lewis, who was in Iraq for the invasion of March 2003 until June of that year while serving in the 214th field artillery brigade, complained of lack of training for what they were ordered to do, in addition to not having armoured Humvees for their travels.
"We never got training for a lot of the work we did," he explained. "We had a white phosphorous mortar round that cooked off in the back of one of our trucks, because we loaded that with some other ammo, and we weren't trained how to do it the right way." The "search and avoid" missions appear to have been commonplace around much of Iraq for years now.
Geoff Millard served nine years in the New York Army National Guard, and was in Iraq from October 2004 until October 2005 working for a general at a Tactical Operation Centre.
Millard, also a member of IVAW, said that part of his duties included reporting "significant actions", or SIGACTS, which is how the U.S. military describes an attack on their forces.
"We had units that never called in SIGACTS," Millard, who monitored highly volatile areas like Baquba, Tikrit and Samarra, told IPS. "When I was there two years ago, there were at least five companies that never had SIGACTS. I think 'search and avoids' have been going on there for a long time."
Millard told IPS "search and avoid" missions continue today across Iraq.
"One of my buddies is in Baghdad right now and we email all the time," he explained, "He just told me that nearly each day they pull into a parking lot, drink soda, and shoot at the cans. They pay Iraqi kids to bring them things and spread the word that they are not doing anything and to please just leave them alone."

Over the course of a year, 32 officials were trained on all aspects of forced return operations. They received practical training on escorting returnees, ensuring a more efficient and effective return process that respects human dignity.
|Project dates
|01/01/2010 - 31/12/2010
|Total budget
|€70 643
|EU contribution
|Name of the entity managing the project
|Police and Border Guard Board
Effectiveness and efficiency were high on the priority list during the training undertaken by the officials of the Police and Border Guard Board responsible for escorting returnees back to their countries of origin. But the training also covered psychological aspects of returns, the organisation of joint return operations, cultural differences, first aid, and cooperation with other EU member states for returns. Officials were also educated in the necessary international human rights and security standards, as well as the legislation relevant to the return process.
During the one year project, 32 officials received training on return operations. While the officials were the intended direct beneficiaries of this programme, their increased knowledge and understanding of the return process also in turn benefits the returnees being escorted back to their countries of origin by these officials.
In Estonia, this was the first training project for the officials that covered not only the theoretical aspects of involuntary return operations, but also practical training on escorting returnees. Participants were also able to learn through an exchange of best practice with other EU countries.

I modified this pattern substantially. The neckline and front edges are from view E, the sleeves from view D, and the length from view C. From the armholes down, this is much wider than the original pattern, because I wanted it to skim over another rather loose top. The darts are also different: diagonal, and wider.
I also got rid of the CB seam (which did have some shaping in it).
My pattern came from a bargain bin, thus the X on it.

PAYBACK? | 2 days before elections, govt websites downed by massive DDoS attacks
The online news portal of TV5
MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATE 2 - 4:02 p.m.) With only two days before the 2013 midterm elections, several government websites, including that of the Office of the President, were downed by massive denial of service attacks in what appeared to be retaliation for the killing of a Taiwanese fishermen by the Philippine Coast Guard this week.
The death of Hung Shih-cheng, 65, has enraged Taiwanese and raised the possibility of sanctions against the Philippines by Taiwan, which employes an estimated 80,000 Filipinos. But the Coast Guard defended its personnel's actions, saying they were forced to fire in self defense when the Taiwanese fishing vessel Hung was on tried to ram a Philippine patrol vessel.
The Information and Communications Technology Office, in a message to InterAksyon.com, confirmed that there were indeed DDoS attacks on several government websites on Saturday, but could not detail what sites were affected and where the attacks were coming from.
However, on a Chinese bulletin board (http://disp.cc/b/163-5EZX), the purported DDoS attackers posted an online tool that can be launched through a user's browser to effectively target Philippine websites, overwhelming the latter's servers and forcing a downtime.
'Keyboard war'
The online DDoS tool uses a script that loads every target website and automatically refreshes the page to cause a surge in traffic and render the website inaccessible in an operation they called a "keyboard war."
"Think dry dry sense of shame, as the people of Taiwan, instead of looking forward to officially apologize (push to apologize to the diplomatic personnel stationed in Taiwan?)," the attacker's message, loosely translated from Chinese via Google Translate, read.
The goal of the attackers was clear: "To compel the Philippine government to formally apologize to Taiwan, and compensation for the families of the victims." it stressed.
Among the websites that could not be accessed on Saturday were those of the Office of the President (http://op.gov.ph/), Philippine National Police (www.pnp.gov.ph), the Philippine News Agency (http://www.pna.gov.ph/index.php), Department of Interior and Local Government (http://www.dilg.gov.ph/) and the Commission on Elections (www.comelec.gov.ph).
A random check of other government sites also found these targetted by the attacks:
- Armed Forces of the Philippines (http://www.afp.mil.ph/)
- Department of Science and Technology (http://www.dost.gov.ph/)
- Philippine Senate (http://www.senate.gov.ph/)
- Department of Education (http://www.deped.gov.ph/)

A number of private websites, including media, were also reported to have been targetted.
Earlier, the local hacktivist group Anonymous #OccupyPhilippines, which has been involved in major site defacements and DDoS attacks in the past, stressed they will not be launching any hacking operations ahead of the elections.
"Wala pong magaganap na OP ang Anonymous #OccupyPhilippines para sa magaganap na eleksyon ... hindi po kami gagalaw dahil baka sa amin pa po ibintang kapag nagkabukingan na may dayaan (Anonymous #OccupyPhilippines is undertaking no operation for the elections ⦠we will not move because we might be blamed for any fraud that happens)," the group clarified on its Facebook page.
Malacanang had yet to issue a statement on the attacks.
While some of the inaccessible websites have no direct impact on the elections, the downtime of the Comelec website could become crucial as it hosts a wealth of resources related to Mondayâs polls, such as the precinct locator and the official results of the elections.

Every year we run a series of architect forums for folk who are interested in getting some basic insights into developing their skills so as they can either become an architect or develop their existing architect skills.
The sessions are being held in Auckland (April 23), Wellington (April 30) and Christchurch (April 21) and will last about an hour. This is a great chance to spend an hour in 'self development' so please take a look at the invitation below or encourage your staff / peers to do so.
Please do use the appropriate RSVP link if you intend coming along.
Title: How to become a software architect (or: What do software architects do?) by Amir Shevat
Software architecture is a critical, complex and exciting role that bridges between business and technology. Software architecture is also one of the roles that arguably is less understood then other roles in software development. In this session we will talk about what it means to be an architect. We will understand how architects contribute to the business and to the development process. We will also review the major challenges and software aspects an architect is responsible for, and explore the ways one becomes a successful architect.
About Amir Shevat:
Amir Shevat is a senior architect in Datacom Systems in New Zealand with over 10 years experience in software development and architecture. Previously, Amir served as an Architect Advisor at Microsoft working with enterprise and startup companies, helping them to utilized and develop software over the Microsoft stack. Amir also held the position of a Software Architect in Comverse as well as several other technical roles in startups worldwide. Amir believes in the "keeping it simple" approach to software architecture and development rather than complex and cumbersome solutions. He tries to keep is designs as simple and as close to the business domain as possible.

Without warning, the Serpent King Orochi descended from the heavens. Using his unworldly powers to shatter time and space, Orochi kidnapped the strongest, wisest and most courageous warriors from Ancient China and Feudal Japan to test his might against the heroes of these ages.
Most of the great armies of these two periods would succumb to the might of Orochi. Yet powerful warriors remain and are ready to continue the fight. Now, the greatest showdown in history is about to take place...
The game's new "Team Battle System" and "Weapon Fusion" push Tactical Action to a whole new level. For the first time in KOEI's Tactical Action games, players can create their own three-person tag team. At any given time, one warrior will be engaged in battle, while the other two are recuperating; restoring their Life Meters and Musou Gauges. Every character is categorized according to offensive ability, and with new fighting techniques, it's up to the player to find the most lethal combination of warriors. "Weapon Fusion" lets players combine the attributes from different weapons for more devastating results.
Warriors Orochi for PSP boasts the massive seamless battlefields of the console versions, while previous games in the series for handheld platforms had combat taking place on battlefields divided into smaller "cells". The handheld release includes all 79 playable characters, and features 2-player co-op play via wireless (ad-hoc).

And if they do have those suspicions, what do they do?
You can go to the physician and have them tested for these drugs, just the same way as the sports authorities test for the drugs. Basically, the physician can send off tests for these drugs. I'm not saying that's what they should do, but I think that's what I would do if I felt it was important.
Do they drug-test young players in high school?
They usually don't. I think we're going to see more and more of this happening. The other group who don't [get tested] are the masters athletes, the people over 60. It's clearly something that stretches through all ages, into old age.
Are all performance-enhancing drugs illegal?
No. A number are very legitimate. We should not throw out the baby with the bath water.
How do you test for these drugs? Can you test for all of them?
The tests for growth hormone, at the moment, are very poor. The Olympic Committee is hoping that this year they will have an adequate test for growth hormone.
The tests for the others begin usually with a urine test looking for alterations in the urine testosterone ratio. All of them will affect that ratio. If that looks abnormal, the modern testing is now do to NMR scanning [nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy] and you can actually pick up the peaks, the abnormal peaks, of the different compounds. Most of those are known.
Where you can get away with it is if you have a compound that nobody actually knew existed.
We've got to recognize that there are a whole new set of ... pills that are being developed to help people in rehabilitation following surgery. And all of these are, quite honestly, much more powerful. They can be taken orally. They have less side effects, and my assumption is that now that most of the steroids are gone, that people are going to find a way to get growth hormone and the next thing you'll see is this large new class of drugs, these selective androgen receptor molecules [SARMs] -- will be used by the athletes. Many are in phase I and phase II trials.

From Our Editors
"Beauty is pain," according to the famous saying, but the certified laser specialists at Hairfree Nashville know that hair removal doesn't have to sting. Ambient music and complimentary beverages set a comfortable, relaxing scene for laser hair-removal sessions, during which technicians safely target and destroy active hair follicles on any skin tone. The Cynosure Elite laser's patented ChillTip delivers a cooling sensation to numb the skin as technicians zap away fuzz to leave skin smoother than a cactus that has just entered the witness protection program. Because hair grows in cycles, most patients require six to eight sessions, scheduled four to eight weeks apart, after which, they can expect an 80 to 90 percent reduction in hair.

Hey Everyone,
I've installed this plugin on a lot of sites. But this one in particular is making me bang my head. There is a email harvester in the upper right corner that's just simply an email form submitting to an email address so the end user can then take that email and put it into a list. It works just fine.
However, the validation message, as you know, auto populates after clicking submit and if it's in a content area with a white background, it shows up fine. For the area that I'm putting this form in, the validation box seems clunky and useless because there is no "X" to close the message, no "esc" button makes it go away, and the styling is all wrong (I know it can be fixed, but I'd still like it to close).
Is there a way to have this message auto-close after say 3 seconds? Or is there a way to close the message out manually that I'm unaware of?
The other option would be to send to a "Submit" page. I've seen the code you put into additional settings, but does the end result display that same message that normally populates when clicking submit? Or do I have to work some code in the page to make it display?

By Rob Barnett
Heather Knight has ended the Women's Ashes with a torn hamstring but, as player of the series in the victorious team, says she would have taken that combination before the rubber.
The sole player to hit 300 runs, Knight has made a vital contribution in England's 12 points to four win that regained the urn in the new multi-format contest.
The 22-year-old's key score was a rearguard, first-innings 157 in the only Test. Had the hosts not avoided defeat at Wormsley, an 8-0 deficit after losing the first one-day international would surely have been insurmountable?
As it was, they responded to the Lord's setback with five straight wins to also lay down a marker for the return series this winter.
Speaking exclusively to ecb.co.uk, Knight, who suffered the injury as she was dismissed yesterday at the Emirates Durham ICG in the last of three Twenty20 internationals, admitted: "If you'd given it to me at the start of the series, player of the series, win the Ashes and I'd torn my hamstring, I probably would have taken it. So I'm really chuffed.
"It's been brilliant. I think we had contributions from everyone all down the squad and it's been a really good series. They're the world champions, Twenty20, 50-over. We had a really hard winter. To come back, it's just made it all the sweeter," she added.
"I've really enjoyed the new format. It's made every game really important. To come away as winners and winning the way we did is just amazing."
Knight's Test ton, made from the top of the order, allied to the Lord's loss, saw her promoted to open later in the rubber.
She responded with a solid 31 in the first of two ODIs at the BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground and a top score of 69 in the second there.
"I started the series well in the Test match," she said. "Then to get moved up the order in the ODIs is somewhere I wanted to bat for a while now so it's been really good."
As of her 338-ball vigil in just her second Test, she added: "I haven't really had a chance to really reflect on it, but now we've won the series I get the chance to look back and look back happily as part of a winning series."

Defense IT
Officials at the Defense Information Systems Agency announced April 16 that the organization had reached initial operational capability as the Defense Department's cloud broker, marking a key milestone in the effort launched last summer.
According to a DISA announcement, the designation means there is a new framework in place that will govern its mission as DOD's cloud broker, which includes cybersecurity assessments of potential cloud service providers.
"To date, DISA has established a process for gathering and assessing mission partner requirements, evaluation criteria for service offerings to include recommended contract requirements, criteria for matching mission partner requirements to the appropriate offerings, an Enterprise Cloud Service Catalog and a cloud security model," the release states.
DISA officials used the cloud security model to assess the two commercial cloud service providers that have been granted provisional authorizations by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Joint Authorization Board, according to the release.
"Approval for use of these two commercial cloud services for information approved for public release is imminent," the release states. "DISA continues to conduct security assessments to expand alternatives for future cloud service [offerings]."
According to the General Services Administration's FedRAMP website, those two providers are Autonomic Resources and CGI Federal.DISA's cloud broker announcement comes the day after the agency posted a new request for information for small-business contractors and announced contract awards for the DISA IT Enterprise Support Services (DESS) program.
The RFI seeks to compile a list of small companies that are currently subcontractors on the Defense Intelligence Information Systems Integration and Engineering Support Services and/or the Intelligence Information, Command and Control, Equipment and Enhancements contracts.
After an initial solicitation released last May, DISA announced awards for its indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity DESS contract. The contract, worth as much as $404 million, was awarded to HighAction, Soft Tech Consulting, Unitech Consulting (doing business as Chameleon Integrated Services) and NOVA Corp.
Under the contract, the companies will provide enterprise IT services to more than 8,000 users, a number that could increase as DOD agencies look to consolidate IT services and move to those provided by DISA, the award notice states.

The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.

Try it over a pink or purple polish the next time. As pretty as it is alone, that makes it even better. It is definitely the funnest!!
This is SUPER pretty, but I did Google that Sally Hansen one everyone keeps saying is a dupe and to be honest, they look pretty much the exact same to me :/ Love this but I'm going with the Sally Hansen one!
I just took mine off last week-it wore perfectly! It is kinda hard to remove though as all glitter polishes are. Such a fun color!

Storm Seen Cutting Gasoline, Jet-Fuel Demand by Deutsche Bank
Superstorm Sandy will reduce demand for gasoline and jet fuel as the U.S. East Coast lacks electricity, while it largely spared the region's energy infrastructure, according to Deutsche Bank AG.
"With much of the East Coast energy infrastructure generally unscathed by Hurricane Sandy, focus has now shifted to concerns about the dampening impact the storm may have on demand," analysts led by Xiao Fu in London said in an e-mailed report today. "With so much of the densely populated eastern region affected by the storm and still lacking power, demand is expected to slip in the immediate aftermath."
Demand for gasoline and jet fuel was most affected by past storms that struck the East Coast, Deutsche Bank said, citing Hurricane Irene in August 2011 and Hurricane Gloria in September 1985. Gasoline consumption declined two to three times more than average, the analysts said.
