Today is Monday, July 1, the 182nd day of 2013. There are 183 days left in the year. This is Canada Day.
Today's highlight:
On July 1, 1863, the pivotal, three-day Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, resulting in a Union victory, began in Pennsylvania.
On this date:
In 1535, Sir Thomas More went on trial in England, charged with high treason for rejecting the Oath of Supremacy. (More was convicted, and executed.)
In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the first Pacific Railroad Act.
In 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain as the British North America Act took effect.
In 1903, the first Tour de France began. (It ended on July 19; the winner was Maurice Garin.)
In 1912, aviator Harriet Quimby, 37, was killed along with her passenger, William Willard, when they were thrown out of Quimby's monoplane at the Third Annual Boston Aviation Meet.
In 1942, the First Battle of El Alamein began during World War II. Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra and vocalist Frank Sinatra recorded "There Are Such Things" in New York for Victor Records.
In 1946, the United States exploded a 20-kiloton atomic bomb near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific.
In 1963, the U.S. Post Office inaugurated its five-digit ZIP codes.
In 1973, the Drug Enforcement Administration was established.
In 1980, "O Canada" was proclaimed the national anthem of Canada.
In 1993, a gunman opened fire in a San Francisco law office, killing eight people and wounding six before killing himself.
In 2004, actor Marlon Brando died in Los Angeles at age 80.
Ten years ago: At a summit, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas rededicated themselves to peace efforts and spoke of a shared future for their peoples. Bishop Sean O'Malley was named by Pope John Paul II the new archbishop of Boston, succeeding Cardinal Bernard Law, who'd resigned in the wake of a clerical sex abuse scandal. Jazz flutist Herbie Mann died in Pecos, N.M., at age 73.
Five years ago: Ex-convict Nicholas T. Sheley, suspected in eight grisly slayings in two states, was arrested outside a bar in Granite City, Ill. (Sheley has since been convicted of two murders.) The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver agreed to pay $5.5 million to settle 18 more claims by people who said they'd been sexually abused by priests when they were children. Clay Felker, founding editor of New York magazine, died at age 82.
One year ago: Syria's main opposition groups rejected a new international plan that called for a transitional government because the compromise agreement did not bar President Bashar Assad from participating. Voters in Mexico returned the Institutional Revolutionary Party to power. Spain won its third straight major soccer title, beating Italy 4-0 in the European Championship final in Kiev, Ukraine. Tiger Woods won the AT&T National at Congressional in Bethesda, Md. for the 74th win of his career.

LONG BEACH — Members of the city's largest employee union have rejected a pension reform proposal that would have saved the general fund an estimated $3.9 million next year.
The result of the vote taken Thursday was confirmed on the website of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).
"Local 1930 IAM Members voted last night, August 16 th, to reject the city's final pension reform proposal," the message read.
"Thank you for your overwhelming participation. We have no new information at this time but we will keep you updated as we learn more in the future."
IAM President Richard Sanchez could not be reached for comment.
Sources said the proposal contained elements similar to the retirement concessions made by Long Beach's police and fire unions last year. Those organizations agreed to create a lower tier of benefits for future employees and applied raises advanced by the city as part of the deals to pay their full employee share of retirement costs.
Long Beach will spend about $100 million less in pension obligations by 2022 as a result of the new contracts with police and fire.
In a statement, Mayor Bob Foster accused the IAM of choosing "personal gain over serving their community."
"The deal put before them was a fair one that would not negatively affect the money they currently take home, but would use future raises to significantly reduce pension costs and provide future budget relief," Foster said.
"While the Police Officers Association and the Firefighters Association realized the wisdom in this approach, unfortunately the IAM did not."
Officials estimated the reforms would have resulted in an estimated $12.2 million saved across all funds next year.
City leaders are debating a budget proposal that balances a $17.2 million shortfall for fiscal year 2013.
The City Council must pass a budget by Sept. 15 for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1.
Projected deficits in 2014 and 2015 are $10.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively.
With the deal between the IAM and the city dead, the issue may be sent to a vote of the people.
Foster has several times threatened to place a pension measure on the ballot, most recently when he gave his mayor's budget recommendations earlier this month.
"It is not my preferred path, but reform is a necessary outcome and I am left with no other option," Foster said then.
The current IAM contract expires Sept, 30, 2013.
Union members are due a 2 percent raise on Oct. 1, according to Long Beach Human Resources Director Debbie Mills.
An additional 5 percent raise is also possible next year due to unallocated money remaining in the contract, she said.
Long Beach has $1.2 billion in unfunded pension liabilities after giving retroactive benefit increases in 2002.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Rarely can a person say a store has everything one needs for a special occasion, but Arne's might be the exception. Quinceañera tiaras? Check. Kids' birthday balloons? Check. Penis-shaped bachelorette party favors? Double check. It's bustling on most days and packed to the gills leading up to national holidays, so if you're having a party, Arne's has the decor, all organized by holiday, color (imagine an entire aisle of green...everything) and need.
READERS' CHOICE: Arne's Texas Size Party Store
The feeling you get when walking into a barber shop shouldn't be the fear of getting another bad cut. You can definitely put your anxiety aside with the staff at Cutthroat Barbers. They specialize in straight razor shaves and fades. Need a beard trim? They've got the warm towel prepped and ready to go. The classic look and feel of the shop may make you forget that you can book your appointment online. Every cut comes with a complimentary beverage, usually on tap. Two locations.
READERS' CHOICE: Big Kat's Barbershop & Shave Parlor
Some pawn shops have a way of making you feel sad and creepy, about both the world and yourself. This is not one of them. Bellaire's Money Mart is a big, bright, clean store with friendly, laid-back salespeople and a huge, organized inventory of jewelry, electronics, instruments, tools, handbags and other stuff that's all in great condition. Whether you're buying, selling or seeking a short-term loan, you're bound to have a decent experience, and none of that "Wait, did I just get ripped off?" second-guessing that happens at too many other stores of its ilk. Don't pawnder any longer — go see for yourself!
READERS' CHOICE: Shaw's Jewelry
You've heard of a comedian's comedian? An actor's actor? Well, Dr. Melanie McKinnon is a chiropractor's chiropractor. She counts several other chiropractors among her patients. A native Houstonian, McKinnon has been cracking bones for more than 25 years. She's had special training in alternative pain care methods and neurology. (Dr. McKinnon has a Diplomate in Neurology.) She uses the Gonstead, Diversified and Activator methods to treat sciatica, whiplash and all manner of vertebrogenic disorders. Rehabilitation and corrective exercise sessions and massage therapy are offered on site under McKinnon's supervision. Wary of X-rays? So is she. Sure, they're needed sometimes, but sometimes they aren't, so why be exposed to the unnecessary radiation?
If you like to make noise with shoes and you want to do so in a place with other adults, then Tap Happy hits the spot. The adult tap dance studio started out as a single introductory class in 2008, but it has grown into a host of classes offered up by Sara Draper and the other teachers who have been signed off to teach in the Sara Draper method — that means you'll be learning old-school tap while being taught to make noise with shoes while holding your hands at the proper angle for each step. Whether you've taken dance classes all your life or are only now getting to live out that childhood fantasy of being Shirley Temple, Tap Happy has something to offer you.
When Cactus Music stops deserving to be called Houston's best record store, we'll stop doing it. In the past year or so, the vinyl stock at the Shepherd Plaza mainstay has probably doubled, reason enough to give them this year's award. The frequent in-stores with free Saint Arnold's you may know about, but here's some neat stuff about Cactus you may not: Cactus was founded in 1975 by Don and Bud Daily, son of legendary Houston record-label owner and jukebox supplier H.W. "Pappy" Daily. It has been in its present location since November 2007, after the original space next to the Alabama Theatre closed about 18 months earlier. Between record-company promo cutouts, historical photographs, framed 45s, oversize album covers and periodic installations, it's almost as good of an art gallery as it is a record store. It doubles as a gift shop par excellence, too, with all sorts of music-themed knickknacks and novelties. Even if you're just browsing, it's much more fun when a local luminary is spinning in the Record Ranch, which often happens weekend afternoons (and selected other times). And no true Houstonian is complete without at least one Cactus T-shirt in his or her wardrobe.

Seattle Spotlight: Chu Minh Tofu & Veggie Deli
On my most recent Seattle getaway, I learned about a new vegan-friendly* Seattle-must, Chu Minh Tofu & Veggie Deli, just a short drive/bus ride/or long stroll up S. Jackson from the International District station. I was awaiting my legitimate, $1 evening Boltbus ride to Vancouver, and made it my own very last must-visit on a trip that simply could not include enough tofu.
Chu Minh Tofu & Veggie Deli is just that, a Vietnamese deli, that sells fried, flavored and fresh tofu, hot and cold by-the-pound items, made-toorder banh mi sandwiches (vegan ones!), and more fun stuff in their refrigerated section. Somehow (I blame my fear of cilantro), some way, I decided against a cheap banh mi, of which I had heard great things about before and since this experience, silly me, and walked away with a dangerously large take-out container that would guarantee everyone else on my bus would 1) ridein jealousy 2) glare 3) have an easy conversation starter.
The welcoming woman behind the counter talked me through the numerous, intriguing and delicious-smelling options, providing complimentary tastes of 'fish' skin and roasted 'pork', which brought me back to a similarly fascinating vegan Laotian & Vietnamese buffet I'd stumbled upon in Vientiane last winter, Khoudain. All of those smokey, salty, dry textures…simply fascinating. And that's not all, my box also included brown rice, steamed cabbage, red curry, chili fried tofu, a tofu skin roll and a sugarcane drumstick, all for maybe $6?
More below.
I'll admit….my other poor decision, besides the lack of banh mi action (I'm sorry, bff!) was the Bolyan birch beer to accompany my first taste of the box (not sold at Chu Minh, however). Gross city…I mean, not for me.
Chu Minh Tofu & Veggie Deli: I'm so talking team VVC into a visit after the Tech Seminar. They've been warned.
*Let me note: I've seen it referenced as all vegan online, and I didn't spy anything that worried me, but I'll add a little 99% veganish since I don't speak Vietnamese and there's always that teeny tiny nervousness when ordering the fauxes. Unless someone can prove otherwise.
Have you been to this spot? Any recs? Do tell…
5 thoughts on "Seattle Spotlight: Chu Minh Tofu & Veggie Deli"
The only thing that keeps it from being 100% vegan is that they offer milk for thai iced tea. Chu Mihn rules!
Heee hee. I forgive you. And I even forgive you about the Boylans, because we sell SO MANY at work. ❤

Austin Collie keeps telling the Indianapolis Colts he feels well.
Teammates and coaches are praying he is.
Less than 24 hours after coach Chuck Pagano confirmed the veteran receiver had sustained yet another concussion, discussions inside the team's usually jovial locker room took a serious turn out of concern for their friend.
"It's scary, especially with all the information that's been coming out the last two years or whatever," said cornerback Jerraud Powers, who came to Indy in the same 2009 draft class as Collie. "You see someone, you want what's best for them, and he's a smart enough guy that he'll make the right decisions. He's a heck of a player."
With Andrew Luck replacing Peyton Manning, Collie and five-time Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne are expected to help Luck make the transition from college to the NFL and mentor a receiving corps that is almost entirely new.
As a rookie in 2009, Collie caught 60 passes for 676 yards and seven touchdowns, helping Manning win his second AFC title before coming up short against New Orleans in the Super Bowl.
Things haven't gone nearly as smooth the last two seasons.
In early November 2010, the former BYU star was knocked unconscious after a vicious high-low combination from two Philadelphia Eagles safeties. He sat out the next week against Cincinnati, then tried to return the following week against New England but left early with what the team described as concussion-like symptoms. Team officials never confirmed it was a full-blown concussion.
Collie didn't return again until Dec. 19 against Jacksonville, a game in which he took another big hit and was diagnosed with a second full-blown concussion, ending his season.
When Collie returned last year, he insisted he was OK. He finished with 54 receptions, 514 yards and one TD all career-lows but, of course, Indy didn't have Manning, used three different quarterbacks and collapsed to a league-worst 2-14 record.
Now the questions about his health are back. Collie left Sunday night's preseason game in the first quarter after Steelers linebacker Larry Foote hit Collie in the head with a forearm, leaving Collie briefly on the ground.
Jaguars to play four games in London
The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to be England's team.
The NFL and the Jaguars announced Tuesday that the small-market franchise will play one home game in London for four consecutive seasons beginning in 2013 a step the team believes will broaden its fan base and take some pressure off locals who have mostly failed to fill the stands in recent years.
"I passionately believe the big growth now is going to come from overseas," owner Shad Khan said. "We've got to go where we can leverage and take advantage of some of those things. You've got to fish in ponds where you've got fish in there. We're going to a pond where there are no fishermen."
The Jaguars will play at historic Wembley Stadium, which has hosted one NFL game annually since 2007.
Around the league
Seahawks • Coach Pete Carroll announced that rookie quarterback Russell Wilson will start against Kansas City on Friday. Also, rookie Bobby Wagner (a former Utah State star) was named the starter at middle linebacker after the Seahawks traded veteran Barrett Ruud to New Orleans on Monday.
Jets • New York gave embattled right tackle Wayne Hunter a much-needed day off from practice Tuesday. The offensive lineman had a lousy performance in the Jets' 26-3 loss to the Giants on Saturday night. He played a part in three sacks of Mark Sanchez, and there would've been a fourth if it hadn't been negated by a penalty.
Giants • Despite developing a blood clot in his left leg a little more than a week ago, there is a chance defensive tackle Shaun Rogers might play this season. Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Tuesday that the 12-year-veteran got a second opinion about his injury, and the team has "a ray of hope" that Rogers will be able to get back on the field.
Redskins •Clinton Portis is announcing his retirement, nearly two years after he played his last NFL game. Portis played two seasons with the Denver Broncos and then seven with the Redskins. Washington cut Portis after a torn groin muscle ruined his 2010 season. He was unable to find another team and ends his career 77 yards shy of 10,000, No. 27 on the NFL's all-time list.

Dr. John Chowning first described FM Synthesis technique in 1967. Since that time, no analog quadrature oscillator with through-zero capability and dynamic linear FM control has been commercially available... until now!
Cyndustries is proud to announce a major breakthrough in analog VCO design, the amazing Zeroscillator.
Liquid Smooth Analog Design
The Zeroscillator is a full-featured electronic-music-quality analog VCO capable of linear frequency modulation through zero hertz and into negative frequencies. This makes it capable of the FM Synthesis stuff, wild and crazy sounds simply not available from traditional VCOs, and timbres not available from digital FM synthesizers. Of course, Zeroscillators also make insane LFOs!
Traditional FM Synthesis oscillator implementations, such as the DX-7, are sine wave only. The Zeroscillator also makes available sawtooth, reverse saw, triangle, pulse (with PWM), and a special set of four quadrature outputs capable of unique bi-phase wave morphing, (more on that later).
Look Ma'... No Aliasing!
FM sounds take on their vibrant life when the amount of modulation is varied dynamically. In the analog world, this requires a special VCA to regulate the depth of frequency modulation, (often called the "modulation index"). Since this is required almost universally for Linear FM patches, the Zeroscillator has this VCA built-in. We decided however, to take this feature one extra step beyond and provide you with a four-quadrant multiplier instead of a traditional two-quadrant VCA to expand your modulation possibilities into the unexplored. The output of this multiplier is available at the panel, so you get a free ring-mod function and an interesting pick-off point for self-modulation patches called Mod Out.
In addition to it's precision 10-turn tuning knob, the Zeroscillator has 1V/octave plus attenuated exponential inputs and can behave just like the VCOs you're used to. You are not forced into any specific modality and are free to use all or any subset of its 7 different modulations:
1-Exponential FM
2-Linear Through-Zero FM
3-Linear FM Dynamic Depth Modulation
4-Bi-Phasic Waveform Morphing in Quadrature
5-Pulse Width Modulation
6-Variable Sync (from none to hard synch)
7-Time Reversal
The through-zero capability may be switched off which bars the oscillator from reaching into the negative frequency netherworld. If the linear modulation goes negative, the oscillator simply stops, restarting when the modulation returns to positive territory. This results in another class of sounds and is also very interesting and rhythmic when used at LFO rates.
Now back to the Quadrature Outputs with Bi-phase Wave Morphing. These four outputs present the oscillator waveform at four different relative phases separated by 90 degrees (0, 90, 180, 270). If the 0 and 90 degree outputs are presented to the left and right speakers respectively, a definite stereo spread effect is obtained, and when the oscillator beats with its modulator, harmonic characteristics shift back and forth across the stereo image. This effect is unique to the Zeroscillator.
Voltage Controlled Wave Morphing in Four Phase Quadrature
At LFO rates, the quadrature outputs can be used to control quad panning or create circular illusions. Remember, when the Zeroscillator is heavily FM'ed, the waveforms fold back on themselves and create patterns that look nothing like the waveforms on the label.
This ain't your Daddy's oscillator!
You can also morph the waveform coming from the quadrature outputs from triangle to sine to square! The 0, 180 pair and the 90, 270 pair have separate morphers which can move in tandem or opposition to each other. The morph is not simply a waveform crossfade, but a true morph which creates all the in-between waveforms in its travel and it can even be modulated at full audio rates! The morph is also constant-power which means the perceived loudness does not change as the harmonic content is being radically altered. With the morph feature, youll find yourself not needing a filter in a great many patches.
We even threw in the kitchen, (Sync that is)... The Zeroscillator has Variable Synchronization from, "no sync at all... "to Totally Hard Sync".
You just dial-in the right amount for your particular patch, (for classic FM type synthesis, you'll be glad you have this control on a dedicated knob).
Finally, there is the mysterious "Time Reversal" Input, (which is actually what occurs when the oscillator passes into negative frequencies). Your external signal here forces the waveform to reverse its direction of travel as seen on an oscilloscope. The resulting effect is most similar to hard sync, but a completely separate circuit, and they both may be used together.
Traditionally, a VCO was something that gave you a tone, a starting place from which you built your sound with other modules. The Zeroscillator however, is practically a synthesizer unto itself.
Click HERE for ordering info
The following sound samples were created using a single Zeroscillator (the carrier) being modulated by a typical VCO (the modulator) and/or combinations of LFOs and Envelope Generators. With the exception of a VCA and a tiny bit of reverb in some cases, there is no other processing of any kind in these recordings of the Zeroscillator output. Specifically, no filters were utilized. Some patch ideas HERE.
The links below are generally specific to computer realized types of FM synthesis, which is OK when you consider that there has never been an analog FM equivalent available before...
Simply convert the word 'digital' to the word 'analog' in your mind as you read, which can actually make for pretty funny and rather dated reading now when you see statements in print such as:
"FM synthesis, even with its reputation for being cold" or
"for musically useful "real" FM synthesis the frequency and amplitude relations
have to be extremely accurate and this cannot be obtained with analog circuits.
"This is (and will probably remain) a digital domain"
Guess they just haven't yet had the pleasure of trying an analog Zeroscillator!

So I had to learn intro to Visual Basic for a course at my college. Is it worth continuing my studies in for penetration testing? How would I use it?
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
I would recommend other languages as your "first to learn".
.Net or Java hide too much from you, so even if you know "how to do something" you might still have no idea how it actually works.
My fav first langauge is C (c++ is good also).

- advice from the mission community! http://www.oscar.org.uk/oscaractive/articles/various.htm
Church, Ummah or Somewhere in Between?
Understanding the strength and unity of the ummah— the worldwide Muslim community—and its role in an individual's identity is essential in comprehending the struggles that Muslims undergo as they turn to faith in Jesus Christ. It has been a place of security, acceptance, protection, and identity; turning away from it entails great sacrifice.
Women Surviving the Great Commission
Missionary women have high expectations when they respond to God's call; of themselves, their mission agencies, host cultures, churches, co-workers, and even of God. These expectations are often impossible to fulfill and can lead to mental and physical exhaustion. Eighty percent of missionary women feel they have come close to burnout, whether they were married or single, traditional or tent making, new or experienced. In "Expectations and Burnout: Women Surviving the Great Commission," Sue provides research and surveys from the field while Robynn lends her own personal experiences to demonstrate how burnout can happen and how God can bring life from ashes.

I think everyone has had great advice. Yes, these costs are just the beginning. It can keep adding to the point an actor is so deep in debt that you don't know where to run.
A clever actor need to make a budget before coming out.
There are some great acting teachers that will work with your budget as well as reproductions for photos, reels, etc. Be resourceful.I'm all about sharing information so it takes the burden off those who are struggling.
Spend money wisely. There a many ways to cut corners on the list but I do appreciate Miss Stone putting this together. Its a great template on where to start.
I have said before, this business can be a succubus... it's luring, addictive, exciting and it take you for all you've got.
If you are going to make the plunge, make the right investments, make it smart. You need to invest on your career. Do it with planning, conviction, passion and always with a positive attitude... I mean, what else will you do with your life if its not acting right?
I'm an actor and used to work for a commercial casting director, you do not need to send commercial casting directors postcards. A lot of the time the assistants just throw them in the trash without the CD ever seeing them. Save them for the theatrical casting directors.
Also, LACasting is the site to be on for commercials. All casting directors except for 2 in LA use it to post their projects. AND when you come into audition, most places now use LACasting's audition posting thing. So the directors see your profile right next to your audition. It's really not as expensive as was listed. My account I paid, $70 for 5 photos and got media on my profile for $4.95 a month. But yeah that was the only site we used when i was working in casting. Hope this is helpful.
|Harrison Ford
And now it is suggested to register and be on file with The Casting Frontier http://castingfrontier.com by the casting companies who use them. It's free to register and enter all your info and a photo. You can upgrade later if you feel it's necessary, but it's best to already be in the system, so you don't have to suddenly join when you show up at an audition that uses this service.
Here's a thread that discusses Casting Frontier.
"If you can dream, you can do. Making it happen is up to you!"
|Kevin Bacon
Wow thank you this was very helpful
|Sean Penn
I thought both posters gave a great POV.
Miss Stone gave us the skinny and Oh_hai_thair also reminded us how many people in this business aren't that serious about their craft. A little brightness.
If your ever in the LA area I would like to shoot you.
|Sean Penn
Awesome stuff
|Denzel Washington
BUMP. I don't know what happened to Miss Stone, but this all still seems to be pretty accurate based on what I'm seeing other than I disagree about the AFTRA part and I think Oh_hai_thair makes a good point with his numbers game comment about those seriously in contention out of the "100,000s of people." A lot of people in New York also triple and quadruple up in small apartments to save on rent. I assume they do the same in LA.
Here also is a summary for New York that's been passed around between those in the college/conservatory set for a number of years ...
everyones input is very helpful and realistic. unfortunately it can be a little discouraging. just reading it, i started getting a little anxious, being that i just moved here and i'm seeing it first hand. but at the same time its motivating. i like to think that all the $ i spend towards my acting career as an investment in myself. some people spend $ on college, books, dorms, etc. we spend $ on acting classes head shots, etc. and when it pays off, it pays off
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -mark twain
we only live life once, go for it. but be exremely realistic. thats one main thing ive learned living in la and pursuing an acting career.
Rent 1K to 3K depending on where
travel- $104 a month
Food- $200 a month maybe $240
electric $100 month
cable/internet/cell phone-$300
So for NY I would assume about 2K a month, maybe 1.8K if one is frugal
As to all the other stuff...it really depends on the individual
AA is nessesary
Backstage each week
lessons can run from$50 to $400 A WEEK depending on how many you take, figure Voice $75, Acting(Meisner) $65, Dance(Ballet, Jazz)2 x a week each $60, scene $50 etc etc...

You will Solve Sudoku Puzzles So Fast That Amaze
All Your Friends! Guarantee!
Be my Guest to preview this #1 Ranking Sudoku Guide to see how it can help you to enjoy solving Sudoku Puzzles, real fast!
Dear Sudoku Fan,
Like many of you, I was hooked to Sudoku Puzzles.
In 2000, a friend of mine from Japan sends me a strange puzzle. In a box of 9 X 9 grids, there were few numbers listed randomly.
"Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9" That's all she said.
"It's fun. It's challenging. It's addictive!" My friend warned me!
For the next few days, I was totally stuck with the puzzle trying to solve the mystery. I was helpless without any guide or help…but I was excited. There were a few moments I feel like giving up, but I came back eventually.
She told me that the puzzle is called Sudoku. No Sudoku Tips were offer to me. I was totally overwhelmed, I was addicted.
Here's the Sudoku Puzzle she sends me…..
For the experienced player, it may look ridiculous to take 3 – 4 days to solve this puzzle as some may even solve it within minutes.
But if you are absolutely new to Sudoku, have a busy job and only able to spent a few minutes in your lunch hours to do it…..I am sure this will be a real challenge if you are in a hurry to have it solved.
Stay cool......
The immense surge in popularity of Sudoku internationally has led to it being dubbed in the world media in 2005 variously as "the Rubik's cube of the 21st century" or the "fastest growing puzzle in the world".
Playing Sudoku is like playing Golf. You play against yourself and also challenge others in the Solving time. No cheating is necessary. Your skill can only be better and better through regular playing.
Before you proceed to solve your Sudoku puzzle:
Do you know the best way to start the game?
Do you know all the Basic Solving Strategies and the secret when
to use Advance Techniques?
Do you know which technique is least likely to succeed?
Do you know what to do when you make a series of wrong steps?
Do you want to learn some best-kept Tips used by Sudoku
Masters that can help to solve your puzzle within minutes?
If you are not sure, you will soon learn...
Sudoku is said to have 18th – century roots and Japanese connection.
The name Sudoku may sound like the hideous Sadako from the hit Japanese horror movie – The Ring. But Sudoku can be more terrifying than the female ghost who crawl out from the TV. It sucks up your brain cell and time.
If you are keen to trace the roots and development of Sudoku, check it out here!
In a classic Sudoku Puzzle, it consist a grid of 9 squares wide and 9 squares deep. The lines of squares running horizontally are called rows, and the lines running vertically are called columns. The grid is further divided by the darker lines into nine 3 X 3 square 'boxes'. Some of the squares already have numbers in them. The task is to fill in the blank squares.
Here's the rule of the classic Sudoku Puzzle. In fact, there's only one rule:
This rule has an important side-effect, which is the basis of all Sudoku Solving Techniques.
There's no math involved. The grid has numbers, but nothing has to add up to anything else.
You solve Sudoku Puzzle with reasoning and logic.
Simple? Till you try your hands on it!
But make sure you stay COOL....
"Sudoku is just a game, it can be solved with plain logic and reasoning. Why need a Sudoku Guide?"…You may ask.
You may be right, but let's look at some facts and figures…
If you allow testing for a hypothesis as a logical step then here is a logical method which will solve any SudokuPuzzle.
Based on the calculation done by Bertram Felgenhauer in 2005, the total number of possible solution for a 9 X 9 Sudoku grids is known to be 6,670,903,752,021,072,936,960, which is roughly the number of micrometers to the nearest star.
Make a list of all these grids. You go through these grids one by one until you find one that fits your puzzle. At each stage you are hypothesising that "I found the right solution". This is completely logical and the method will always work. (Of course nobody would actually try this but it illustrates the point)
Now, depending on how you ordered the grids, you might finish in 1 second or in millions of years.
With hundreds of billion numbers combination to the grids, there is only one solution to each unique Sudoku Puzzle.
You see my point?
That's why some fiendish Sudoku Puzzles drive you going crazy.
That's the reason why you need a strategic Sudoku Guide to work on your puzzle.
Solving Sudoku is an Art. And you need some logical steps and strategies to tackle different types of puzzles…..from the basic one, to the fiendish.
Before you proceed, you may want to know some basic Sudoku Terminology, just to name a few:
To the newbie, this may sounds alien. I can assure you, once you get a hang of it, this is nothing.
I have to admit that I am a Sudoku fanatic. Over the years I was addicted to the Sudoku Puzzles and have solved many. Some are using my own method; some learned from other players.
With the growing passion, I have done extensive research and accompanied with my own experience, put together a practical step-by-step coaching course, called "The Ultimate Sudoku Guide."
This eBook is extremely user-friendly. Written in plain, easy-to-understand language-with lots of graphical guides. There is no complicated instructions! This powerful and informative Guide laid out in clear and concise lessons shows you everything you need to know about Sudoku and all its Solving Techniques.

Sudoku is no longer a game.
Though Sudoku Puzzles have become a massive craze for grown-ups, I think that kids should be allowed to enjoy them too!
Sudoku is an excellent way for kids to develop their logic skills while having fun, and children as young as 7 or 8 can begin to enjoy them. No math is needed to complete the puzzles, and no guessing should be necessary either! Children of all abilities enjoy the challenge of a Sudoku puzzle, if the puzzle is age-appropriate.
Sudoku develops your child's reasoning skills and concentration.
I tried it on my children. They are both weak in math. After playing Sudoku Puzzles for a year, both their math's grade ends up in the top 10% of the class.
There are benefits in playing Sudoku puzzles for the oldies too – as age catching up, the sort of exercise and mental workout which the brain gets from playing logic puzzles can help to stop memory decline, make them smarter and even halt the progress of Alzheimer's disease .
As a package of my Sudoku Guide, I am offering two great bonuses that come together with your immediate order:
# Bonus 1 – Sudoku for Kids

Goals: Carlton: T Menzel 3 S Docherty 2 A Everitt C Yarran D Ellard D Thomas J Waite K Simpson L Casboult. Adelaide: E Betts 4 C Cameron D Mackay M Jaensch S Kerridge S Thompson T Walker.
BEST Carlton: Yarran, Menzel, Simpson, Gibbs, Thomas, Everitt, Docherty. Adelaide: Jacobs, Betts, Thompson, Jacobs, Dangerfield, Douglas, Martin.
Umpires: Simon Meredith, Sam Hay, Matthew Leppard.
Official Crowd: 32,419 at MCG.
Thirty seconds to go. Carlton up by five points. Paddy Dangerfield has it. And Carlton is in Danger. He is running through half-forward. He takes an extra few steps, considers his choices and knows he must go long. He punts it long to the pack 20 metres out. It spills.
At this point the entire game is distilled to a moment. If Adelaide goals the names of the heroes and the villains change.
The fear in Carlton throats was that this was another Eddie Betts moment. The former hero turned irritatingly still likeable villain had kicked four goals and was primed for this to be the moment to make it five and steal Carlton's win.
The ball lands. Eddie is not there. Rory Sloane is. The blond mid-fielder has it at his feet and in the urgent scramble to get it to his hands and then to his feet he half stumbles. Andrejs Everitt halts him and wins the free kick. The game is over. Only the ticking of a final few seconds remain. Carlton wins.
For a game of such awful beginnings it had such a wonderful tense denouement.
Betts threatened to be the hero of the day. He kicked four and if you scripted sport you would script Betts being the man to put the knife into Carlton.
Of course, if you scripted football you would not write something so miserable as the first half of the game that the crowd of 32,419 was forced to endure in the unwelcoming twilight fixture.
Betts playing Carlton for the first time reminded the Blues, and himself after just 12 goals this season, how dangerous he can be when he is on. Even the normally unforgiving Carlton fans didn't really have their hearts in booing him. Until he became the man to boot four goals and then it was not so much a boo as a deep heavy sigh.
It was a match of reminders. Dale Thomas had his best game yet for Carlton and when it mattered most, carrying the burden of a ugly missed shots this year, he became the man to give the Blues their breathing space in the last quarter. He is still not moving at his best, but when it mattered he kicked the set shot.
It was a relief to him and Carlton and not just for this match but the settling effect on his season.
The reminder Paddy Dangerfield will not enjoy is of his impatient decision to play on in front of goal late in the game. It was the 15-minute mark and Dangerfield marked 20 metres out directly in front of goal and curiously charged off to snap the kick over his shoulder rather than take a set shot. The kick skimmed away from goal for a behind. There was still time but it was another moment of squander.
At half-time something had to give. The game could not go on for another half as it had in the first. Mercifully it did. Mercifully for Carlton it was Adelaide that broke. Adelaide, so brutal last week, so messy this week.
Beer and chip prices are the least of the AFL's concerns about reasons not to go to the football when there are halves of football such as Carlton and Adelaide's.
The game was as unappealing and unpopular as the timeslot in which it was played. The pie and chip prices were just the final insult.
Pleasingly Chris Yarran and Troy Menzel were able to punctuate the ugly, hesitant, inaccurate football. Their moments in the game were the light in the gloom.
Only six goals were kicked between the sides for the first half in dry conditions when more balls appeared to miss their mark than hit. The kick back and across was as favoured as the kick forward.
The first term was played in large parts in Adelaide's half of the ground, Carlton often hitting a trampoline across the centre and conceding the ball back into defence, yet the Blues managed to boot two goals to the Crows' one.
Carlton played with greater authority in the second term. After being hesitant and uncertain moving the ball in the first term the Blues assumed greater belief. That said neither side had great certainty about their ball movement.
Andrejs Everitt booted the first goal of the second half after Kade Simpson won a critical contest on the wing to earn the ball forward. When Sam Docherty spliced the goals with a kick from the pocket and Yarran thudded the post moments later the Blues had a 20-point lead. It was not a convincing 20 points but it was a lead.
Adelaide through Sam Jacobs in the ruck, Scott Thompson and Paddy Dangerfield around the ball found their way back into the contest but it was Carlton who was better able to settle and win the contests that mattered across the midfield in the tense final term.

I am running Backtrack 3 using VMWare in Windows XP on my IBM Thinkpad. My wireless connection connects using Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection which I'm pretty sure if compatible with Backtrack 3 because I've read about similar adapters that work. The problem is that when I run "airmon-ng" the adapter isn't found. I tried the same thing with my computer which runs with a Belkin 54g USB Receiver and that didn't work either until I set the USB device to only be used by Backtrack. After than it worked, but I'm looking to get backtrack working on my laptop. Any ideas what to do with VMWare or Backtrack 3 to fix this. PS. I'm using VMWare Workstation 6.5.1-Build 126130 which I bought off a friend for this purpose.
Wow. That was ridiculously Helpful and Quick! Thanks!
I was able to get it working on my laptop but using the usb wifi but now I have two problems.
Like most people here I guess, I'm having trouble with using my wifi when trying to crack WEP. One, sometimes my usb wifi turns on with "airmon-ng start rausb0" but sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas?
And my second, more important question is you know when you try to send fake ARPs "Aireplay-ng". For me, it doesn't work well with my neighbours wifi's so
a) Is it really a problem of distance or is it something else you think. Because when I use another wifi card built into my laptop and I use windows wireless network connections to ask to connect to the wifi, it starts sending data and my "Data" rises. PS, I'm using the code "aireplay-ng -1 0 -a (bssid) -h **:**:**:**:**:** rausb0
b)If it is a distance problem, what would you estimate the distance to be, on average, to get authenticated?

Just 92 years after the original blockbuster and 40following the sequel, Los Angeles insists it's game on to stage the climax to its own five-ringed trilogy and bid up the rights to host the 2024 Summer Olympics.
What possibly could go wrong with that?
Infrastructure considerations aside, don't overlook the fact SoCal Olyfest III comes with a $10 million entry fee and an estimated operations expense of $3 billion. There's no guarantees this time the Guggenheim Group somehow could rescue it from bankruptcy and overpay to have it happen based on projected TV rights.
L.A.'s celebration also in all likelihood will come at the expense of Scandinavia and Siberia - two places scientists predict will have the perfect climate and 24-hour daylight access because of the latest global warming trends.
So right away, the rest of the world be hating us for being greedy.
Patrick Rishe, a Forbes.com writer on sports and business, came out with a piece Friday endorsing L.A. as the most "logical, cost-effective and practical choice" for this task.
"Only managerial incompetence or a penchant for excess" could doom L.A.'s chances, he added.
Have you met us?
The more we quantify the quantum mechanics, dabble with the Doppler weather pattern data and conduct a routine checkup of our city's character flaws (starting with this insane FasTrak carpool lane on the 110 Freeway), we have to advise against this routine floor exercise and suggest it all be staged with drones via video game controllers.
Otherwise, don't say you haven't been warned when:
Dennis Rodman, expected to march into the Farmer's Field Opening Ceremony as the flag-bearer of the newly renamed Bad Ass Republic of North Korea, fails the new IOC drug-screening procedures.
His urine tests positive for excessive uranium.
Supreme leader Kim Jong-un already had a meltdown after he was told he couldn't have the Harlem Globetrotters represent his country in men's or women's basketball, but perhaps a waiver could be obtained in rhythmic gymnastics.
As all forms of grappling continue to appear on the IOC's do-not-resuscitate list, the L.A. Olympic Organizing Committee approves female mud-wrestling as a demonstration sport.
"It just makes sense," LAOOC chief Tim Leiweke said. "That, and lots of dollars."
WWE activists protest outside the venue, the Chavez Moshpit Presented by King Taco, where Dodger Stadium used to exist.
This comes after the LAOOC also considered bringing in competitive pole dancing as a sport, but it was rejected by a margin so slim you could slide a $1 bill between it.
L.A. mayor Magic Johnson isn't happy.
He's constantly on his cornea-activated Insta-Blink account - Twitter was so last decade - and Winks out a string of controversial messages regarding the methods by which the U.S. men's basketball team was picked by coach Steve Lavin.
His Magic Honor says his lodging of complaints has nothing to do with the fact his grandson was the final roster cut because he couldn't dunk on the 13-foot baskets.
Magic offers $1 trillion to anyone who can dunk on the newly adjusted rims.
There's more backlash as Canadian basketball coach Steve Nash responds in a Maple-Drip-Tort - it's that country's latest social media rage - that the pairings for the tournament are completely unfair.
He lamented his team has to play four games in five nights against Pau Gasol's squad from Real Spain Imperialism United - that's the new U.N.-approved name for the coalition of Spain, Portugal, Morocco, the Western Sahara and San Diego State, which finally decided to leave the Mountain West Conference.
Meanwhile, the Shabazz Muhammad-led Team USA somehow wormed its way into Pool B, which includes The Decadent Hangout Formerly Known as Greece, a country that retained naming rights to the property annexed to Bulgaria in a complicated stock swap but essentially is now used as a refueling station for Turkish luxury cruisers.
France, which has become one of the world's burgeoning superpowers based on its olive oil reserves and fresh carbonated water supply, officially boycotts the Games.
It claims the decision is more a result of laziness. It just doesn't want to keep paying the quadrennial entry fees that don't guarantee any fair distribution of precious medals.
"We are not retreating here," French Olympic committee chief Zinedine Zidane claimed, "but frankly, if you won't accept our newly minted franc we are done butting heads over this."
That, and they're not all that thrilled to see L.A. Olympics title sponsor McDonald's take French fries off the menu.
Defending U.S. Olympic poker champion Lenny Dykstra is banned from competition at the Hustler Casino after it was discovered he smuggled in his own deck of cards.
The tobacco and deer-antler spray stains were the first giveaways.
The Future Pentathlon, an event intended to combine the elements of the Ancient Pentathlon with the ideas of the Modern Pentathlon, is scrapped when not enough competitors qualify.
It's instead incorporated as the name of a new ride at Disneyland, where former U.S. gymnast McKayla Maroney is allowed to be the first to try it out.
She's not impressed.
Metta World Police - that's his new name, after Johnson appointed him L.A.'s chief of law enforcement - threatens to quit two days into the event. He is criticized about his so-called "cling and jerk" search tactics in place for all spectators entering any facility.
He threatens to fight back but then thinks better of it.
"I should have had my head examined before taking this job," he said.

Sublime celebrates 25th anniversary with '3-Ring Circus' CD/DVD
Listen to Sublime on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - For those of us old enough to remember the golden days of alternative rock, 2013 marks the 25th anniversary of the formation of Sublime — the Long Beach, California-based dub-rock band whose 1996 self-titled major label debut (third studio album in total) was certified six times platinum.
To celebrate the quarter century that has passed since Sublime started rocking, Ume, Geffen, Gasoline Alley and Skunk Records have joined forces to release the CD and DVD package 3-Ring Circus: Live at the Palace. The 27-song set was recorded October 21, 1995 by Gary Davis on a single camera and features more than 78 minutes of material, including the singles "Date Rape," "Badfish," and "40 Oz To Freedom."
"The 3 Ring Circus show was us with the Wesley Willis Fiasco and Lords of Brooklyn," Sublime's drummer Bud Gaugh told Yahoo! Music. "We ran into these guys on tour and played a show with each of them separately, so we thought, 'Wow, wouldn't it be cool if we could get all three bands together?' It was a homecoming for us. We had been out on the road for a while and then we were bringing these new friends back to our home to let our old friends enjoy the music, too."
Sublime used to hire friends to shoot their rehearsals and shows, but Gaugh — who left the spin-off group Sublime With Rome in December, 2011 to spend more time with his family — was unaware until recently that the 1995 Palace show existed. He was happily surprised when his manager sent him the footage, and once he watched it he was blown away.

The envelopes being used by the Supervisor of Elections Office for absentee ballots are the same as those used in the past, but a glitch at the Post Office has them coming back to voters instead of reaching the Supervisor's office.
A label on the back of the envelope with the voter's address, used by elections workers to identify the ballot as being received, is being read by postal sorting machines instead of the supervisor's address on the front of the envelope.
