A lunch or other meal period is an approved period of time in a nonpay and nonwork status that interrupts a basic workday or a period of overtime work for the purpose of permitting employees to eat or engage in permitted personal activities. (See also Interruptions, below.)
An agency may establish policies for meal periods for employees covered by 5 U.S.C. 6101. (This includes most white-collar and blue-collar employees--i.e., employees covered by premium pay under 5 U.S.C. 5541(2) and prevailing rate employees covered by 5 U.S.C. 5343 or 5349.)
The law does not provide employees with an explicit entitlement to a meal period. Each agency has the authority to establish its own requirements for meal periods. An agency may require or permit unpaid meal periods during overtime hours, and the policy may be different from the one for the basic workweek. For example, an agency could permit employees to work 8 overtime hours on a Saturday or Sunday without any requirement for a meal period. In exceptional circumstances, an agency may permit employees to eat their meals while working.
In most circumstances, an agency is prohibited from scheduling a break in working hours of more than 1 hour during a basic workday. (See 5 U.S.C. 6101(a)(3)(F).) This limitation applies to lunch and other meal periods. An agency may permit or require shorter meal periods.
A basic workday is usually 8 hours, but the basic work requirement may be longer for certain days under alternative work schedules (i.e., flexible or compressed work schedules) authorized by subchapter II of chapter 61 of title 5, United States Code. The normal 1-hour meal period limitation does not apply if an agency permits an employee who works under a flexible work schedule to elect to take a longer unpaid meal period.
An agency may not extend a regularly scheduled lunch break by permitting an employee to take an authorized rest period (with pay) prior to or immediately following lunch, since a rest period is considered part of the employee's compensable basic workday. The lunch period may be extended only under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 6101(a)(3)(F). (See Comptroller General opinion B-190011, December 30, 1977.)
Unpaid meal periods must provide bona fide breaks in the workday. If an employee is not excused from job duties, or if he or she is recalled to job duties, the employee is entitled to pay for compensable work, including work that is not de minimis in nature. Note that there is no authority under title 5, United States Code, or the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to compensate employees for being placed on-call or being required to carry a pager or cell phone. OPM rules for crediting fractional hours of work for employees who are exempt from the FLSA are found in 5 CFR 550.112(a)(2). Parallel rules for FLSA nonexempt employees are found in 5 CFR 551.521(b)).
An agency may restrict employees to a limited area (such as a secure Government building or military installation) while in an on-call status during a meal period without creating an entitlement to pay for the meal period. (See 47 Comp. Gen. 311 (1967) and 62 Comp. Gen. 447 (1983).) See the exceptions below for certain firefighters and law enforcement officers.
Meal periods during 24-hour duty shifts are compensable hours of work for firefighters paid under 5 CFR part 550, subpart M. (See 5 CFR 550.112(m)(4) and 551.432(f).)
On-duty meal periods are hours of work for FLSA nonexempt employees engaged in law enforcement activities who receive annual premium pay for administratively uncontrollable overtime (AUO) work under 5 U.S.C. 5545(c)(2). Bona fide off-duty meal periods during which such employees are completely relieved from duty are not hours of work for FLSA purposes. (See 5 CFR 551.411(c) and 551.541(b). Compare to Department of Labor FLSA regulations at 29 CFR 553.223(b).)
An AUO pay recipient generally has considerable discretion to recognize, without supervision, circumstances which require the employee to remain on duty. (See 5 CFR 550.151 and 550.153.) Thus, in appropriate circumstances and subject to any agency policies, an AUO pay recipient may determine it is necessary to work during a period that was scheduled as an off-duty meal period, resulting in the employee being in on-duty status and the time being credited as irregular overtime hours of work in applying the AUO provisions.
Bona fide off-duty meal periods are not actual hours of work for criminal investigators who receive law enforcement availability pay under 5 U.S.C. 5545a or for other FLSA-exempt law enforcement officers. An availability pay recipient may perform work during a period scheduled as an off-duty meal period without supervisory preapproval, if circumstances require the work to meet agency needs, subject to agency policies and procedures. (See 5 CFR 550.182(c).) Such work would be unscheduled duty compensated by availability pay.
Agencies should establish policies stating whether meal periods will be required or permitted when part-time employees or employees who work under flexible work schedules have basic workdays that are less than 8 hours long.
When establishing or modifying policies for meal periods, an agency typically considers factors such as--

The Healthy Prognosis for eVisits
As patients seek greater convenience and health care systems strive to reduce costs, provider organizations need to get ready for a spike in the use of eVisits.
The use of "eVisits," in which patients interact directly or indirectly with health care providers via the Internet, should increase sharply this year. Deloitte predicts there will be 100 million eVisits globally in 2014. This would represent a 400 percent increase from 2012 levels and could potentially save over $5 billion compared with the cost of in-person doctor visits.
eVisits typically entail capturing patient information through forms, questionnaires, and photos, rather than direct interaction with a physician. For example, a patient suffering from an earache could complete an online form to describe his symptoms and then receive a diagnosis and, if required, a prescription. Online video consultations between patients and doctors represent just a small part of the market and offer only minor cost savings compared with an in-person visit. eVisits are part of the broader telehealth market that also includes remote monitoring, alerts, and notifications.
Trends in technology and business are aligning to make 2014 a breakthrough year for eVisits. For example, advances in analytics have made it easier to automate the back office elements of eVisits, while health care systems aim to decrease costs by focusing on prevention and early intervention, and by continuing to integrate IT.
IT leaders of physician practices, hospitals, and other health care providers will need to help their organizations benefit from the efficiencies and improvements in patient care that eVisits promise to deliver.
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited researchers Duncan Stewart and Paul Lee discuss the prognosis for eVisits in this TMT predictions video.

Ben Hogan once said she had the finest swing in golf, male or female. She is considered to this day by many to be the best player in LPGA history. We are talking about Kathryn Mary "Mickey" Wright, who captured 82 LPGA titles along with 13 major championships.
Wright grew up in California and turned professional in 1955 to join the then-fledgling LPGA Tour. Among her many accomplishments, she led the LPGA Tour money list four straight years from 1961-64, won the Vare Trophy for low scoring average five times, and, long before Tiger Woods did it, Wright held all four women's major championships at the same time in 1961-62 (US Women's Open, LPGA Championship, Titleholders Championship, Women's Western Open).
Due to foot problems and other factors, Wright semi-retired in 1969 at the age of 34, but still played in select events for the next several years. She currently lives near the USGTF National Office in Port St. Lucie, Florida

£20 tickets to 'The Ladykillers' at the Vaudeville Theatre
Previous Offer
Sorry you missed this offer...
Offer highlights:
- See Graham Linehan's adaptation of the gut wrenchingly funny 'The Ladykillers' at the Vaudeville for a killer price.
- With more gags and a comedy studded cast, Time Out called it 'a lunatic farce that's as black as a policeman's hat [and] as irresistible as ever' in its four-star review.

More details:
The award-winning comedy, 'The Ladykillers', made its triumphant return to London this summer and set up shop at The Vaudeville Theatre with a fresh cast and more stars than you can shake the hubble telescope at.
The classic black comedy tells the story of sweet but sharp witted old lady, Mrs. Wilberforce (Angela Thorne), pitted against a band of crooks who rent a room in her quaint lobsided house. Led by Professor Marcus (played by the fabulous John Gordon Sinclair), the gang of cons - posing as a string quintet - plot to involve the unsuspecting Mrs. W in a grand heist only to be thrown down a rather hilarious path of mishaps. But who will come out of this chaotic adventure unscathed? You'll just have to purchase a ticket to see.
Need to know:
- This voucher valid for one ticket to 'The Ladykillers' on selected performances from July 29 - August 31 2013.
- Please select your preferred option at checkout.
- Band A tickets were originally £55 for Friday performances and £47.50 on all other shows and Band B tickets were originally £47.50 for Friday night performances and £42.50 on all other shows.

- Please print your voucher and present it to the box office on arrival.
- Customers purchasing multiple tickets will be sat together. Tickets will be allocated in your selected seating area by the theatre box office and not by Time Out.
- Cannot be cancelled, refunded or exchanged or used in conjunction with any other offer.

What do you think of the new Rebel Fleet Trooper and Imperial Officer?
Printable View
What do you think of the new Rebel Fleet Trooper and Imperial Officer?
I posted my initial thoughts this morning on the old forums about these, but they're worth commenting on again...
The Imperial officer has a nice range of articulation, I was shocked to see how much Hasbro packed on to this bad boy. Some very interesting choices, and I'm glad they thought enough about this to make him clasp his hands behind his back. This figure looks like a great addition to the imperial forces.
The Rebel Fleet trooper is like everything I wanted from the original. The 21st Century Toys' Ultimate Soldier XD style knees are not something I usually like, but a great idea in this case, they really look better than the junky legs on figures like Luke T-16. The rest is fantastic too, a total departure from "Giant beefcake" Rebel Fleet Trooper. I'm especially impressed here.
The POTJ line just keeps getting better and better!
One question, is the Rebel Trooper stuck in a crouching pose? If so that's fine, but I'll have to find something for him to lean against; since it's doubtfull he'll be able to stand on his own like that.
No, that's what the "Ultimate Soldier XD knee articulation" I mentioned is for, it's a 90-degree pivot point of articulation that lets a leg be either straight up or in a sitting/kneeling position (or out to the sides, but that looks ridiculous). It can stand OR kneel!!!
Maybe, I'm just looking at it wrong, but it seems that if you straightened out his legs his feet would be pointed backwards! I'll have another look at it.
OHHH! So THAT'S what the ankle articulation is for! I just figured that out! The ankles are articulated to rotate around. I thought when Hasbro said "Ankle Articulation", they meant pivot like on Opee-Qui-Gon, but it's not, it rotates.
Oh... cool. :)
These two figures SEEM to show that Hasbro is taking the line in a direction I have wished it to go for a long time! The kneeling ability is going to be a HUGELY welcome change. And the fact that they got the weapon right as far as scale and design are very exciting to me.
The Imperial Officer is every bit as exciting to me. JT - what did you mean with the comment about how much Hasbro piled on this figure. Were you referring to the articulation or do you know something about accessories that I haven't read yet.
I really want to see the variations now! REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna see 'em! The Imperial Officer is AMAZING! The Rebel Fleet Trooper is a HUGE upgrade. Sorry for using all the CAPS. I HAD to SRESS my EXCITEMENT! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!
That ankle articulation really is sweet JT!

Eat More Vegetables Challenge Day 5: Offer Healthy Dips to Help Veggie-Phobes Munch Down
By Gretel H. Schueller, July 15, 2014 - 3:30pm
Even the biggest veggie-phobe will munch down when you offer a delicious dip with crunchy spears of fresh vegetables. Carrots, celery and peppers take on a whole new taste when dunked with a little dip—OK, for some of you perhaps drowned in dip. It's all good, if the veggies get eaten. And when you pick one of EatingWell's healthy dip recipes, you really can't go wrong. (Plus, with our Creamy Spinach Dip Recipe, even the dip has veggies!)
A 2011 Temple University Study found that adding a small amount of dip to a serving of vegetables helped children eat more of them. The study, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, found that offering 2.5 ounces of ranch dressing as a dip increased broccoli consumption by 80 percent. Go dip!
So go ahead and substitute raw vegetables for crackers, pita, tortillas and other breads and then dip away. Slices of bell pepper and cucumber are fresher and healthier than a box of pita chips.

Nancy Tullos
Other Female Exonerees With Misconduct in their Cases
On November 30, 2007, following a lengthy grand jury investigation of Broadcom, Corp., a multi-billion dollar semiconductor company in Orange County, California, Nancy Tullos, former Broadcom human resources director, was charged with participating in an alleged stock options back-dating scheme and agreed to testify for federal prosecutors.
On January 24, 2008, Tullos pled guilty to one count of obstruction of justice in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. According to the plea agreement, Tullos was involved setting up the employment contract for a prospective employee and sent and received emails regarding the employee's date of hire. She admitted that she directed that an email that she sent be deleted because it showed that the date that was listed as the start of the employee's employment at Broadcom was false. The listed date was selected so that the new employee's compensation from stock options would be increased.
Several months later, on June 4, 2008, Henry Nicholas, co-founder of Broadcom, and former Broadcom chief financial officer William Ruehle were indicted by a federal grand jury in Santa Ana, California, for conspiring to illegally back-date stock options to reward themselves and employees.
On June 20, 2008, federal prosecutors charged Henry Samueli, 43, who co-founded Broadcom with Nicholas, with making a false statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which had conducted an investigation of stock option back-dating at Broadcom.
Samueli was accused of testifying falsely under oath before the SEC when he said he had not been involved in granting of stock options. Federal prosecutors charged that he had in fact been involved in the process.
Three days later, on June 23, Samueli, a billionaire philanthropist and owner of the Anaheim Ducks National Hockey League franchise, pled guilty as part of a plea agreement that called for five years probation, a fine of $250,000 (the legal maximum) and a $12 million penalty
U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney accepted the guilty plea, conditional on the judge's approval of the plea agreement, and set sentencing for Aug. 18, 2008.
The sentencing date was postponed and then, on September 8, 2008, Judge Carney rejected the terms of the plea agreement. The judge said that it "would erode the public's perception of our justice to accept a plea agreement containing an unprecedented payment of $12 million to resolve the criminal liability of one of four co-conspirators in an alleged $2.2 billion securities fraud."
Samueli appealed the order, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction on September 24, 2009.
Since the plea bargain was rejected by Judge Carney, Samueli could have withdrawn his guilty plea and gone to trial—or negotiated a new plea bargain. Instead he let his guilty plea stand, which meant that Judge Carney could have sent him to prison.
In the fall of 2009, Ruehle went on trial before Carney in U.S. District Court. The case against Nicholas had been severed.
Tullos testified that Samueli and Nicholas, who comprised the Broadcom Stock Option Committee, never met—which, the prosecution contended, showed that the company was manipulating the option-granting process.
However, during cross-examination, Tullos said that in fact they did meet. The turning point in the cross-examination came when Tullos said, "The facts for me have not changed. What has changed over time is my opinion of the facts." In effect, she said she never believed that anything illegal had happened until the prosecutors convinced her that it had.
Carney granted a defense motion to grant immunity to Samueli, who was then called to testify on behalf of Ruehle.
During his testimony, Samueli said that he had pled guilty to making a false statement to the SEC. Ruehle's attorney asked, "Do you recall whether that statement involved whether or not you were involved in granting options to officers of the company, which was the job of the compensation committee, and that you indicated that you were not so involved?"
Samueli said, "I recall the question was about my involvement in the granting process of options to Section 16 officers, who are the highest executives of the company, and…that is the purview of the compensation committee. And I replied that I wasn't involved in the granting process, which was not truthful because, in fact, I was involved in making recommendations to the compensation committee.
"But ironically, the thing that bothers me most about that is that there is nothing wrong with being involved in the process of making grants to Section 16 officers. I'm perfectly allowed to make recommendations. So, why I would say I wasn't involved escapes me," he added.
"I thought long and hard about it because that is not my style," Henry said. "I would never do something intentionally wrong under normal conditions. So my gut feeling is, because I was asked about a compensation committee issue, my instant reaction was to say, 'No, I wasn't involved,' because I wasn't on the compensation committee.
"But I apparently didn't think through that question carefully because the question wasn't whether I was on the compensation committee," Samueli said. "It just asked about my involvement in the process of grants to Section 16 officers. I made that false statement and I accept it, but I bang myself in the head for making such a stupid statement."
In fact, Samueli added, there were many, many examples of e-mails and discussions that showed his involvement in the Section 16 granting process. And, in fact, he had corrected his misstatement just 17 lines later in the transcript of his testimony before the SEC.
At the end of the day's trial session, Carney called Samueli before the bench. "I'll just get to the point of it," the judge said. "Dr. Samueli, I'm going to set aside your guilty plea. I'm going to dismiss the (criminal charge) against you. I've looked at the plea agreement. I've listened to your testimony, and you didn't make a false material statement."
At the conclusion of the evidence in Ruehle's trial, but before the case went to the jury, Carney dismissed the charges against Ruehle because of misconduct by the prosecutors in the case. He also dismissed the charges against Nicholas.
On January 12, 2010, Carney signed an order formally dismissing the charge against Samueli, ruling in part that the prosecutor, Adam Stolper, "acted flagrantly, willfully, and in bad faith" in the prosecution of Samueli and that Samueli had not committed a crime.
On January 28, 2010, Carney granted a motion to vacate Tullos's guilty plea and dismiss the charges against her because evidence developed in her cross-examination in the Ruehle case proved her innocence.

Top Ten Tips on Finding a Qualified and Professional Pet Sitter
Who You Gonna Call?
By Yahaira Cespedes
You might want to take your non-human family member with you everywhere you go, but sometimes, that just isn't possible. Finding a responsible, professional individual to take care of your pet may be a more preferable option than leaving them housed in a boarding facility. What about a pet sitter? Here are ten tips on finding a qualified and professional pet sitter to care for your pet.
#10 Ask Your Veterinarian
Any pet sitter worth their salt will have a support network. What better place to get a recommendation than your veterinarian? Especially for older and special needs pets, a pet sitter who has an established professional relationship with your pet's doctor will provide you with peace of mind should there be a medical emergency.
#9 Word of Mouth
Let's face it, anyone can look good on paper and even display impressive credentials selling their expertise at pet sitting. However a qualified pet sitter will come recommended by either a fellow pet parent or a trusted pet trainer who has experience leaving their non-human loved ones in said care.
#8 Compile a Questionnaire
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has a comprehensive list of qualifications you can use to screen potential pet sitters. Among the pertinent questions to include is: Can they provide written proof of commercial liability insurance coverage to cover accidents and negligence? Are they bonded to protect against theft by a pet sitter or employees?
#7 Ask for References
A qualified and responsible pet sitter will have a list of both regular clients and pet care services that would be willing to vouch for their professionalism. When provided with references to speak with, be sure to ask questions that cater specifically to your expectations and your pet's needs.
#6 Select a Certified Pet Sitter
As an alternative to personal recommendations, the HSUS suggests contacting two national agencies dedicated to training and certifying pet sitters: The National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), or Pet Sitters International (PSI). PSI even has a "Pet Sitter of the Year" award for excellence, which has been granted since 1995.
#5 Find a Pet Sitter Affiliated with a Reputable Boarding Facility
Although this list focuses on selecting qualified individuals, an established pet sitter will be able to provide a back up housing plan should they suddenly be rendered unable to care for your pet. A reputable boarding facility will have equally stringent standards for working with qualified pet sitters. After all, their reputation depends on their quality of care.
#4 Double-check the Contract
The prospective pet sitter will have complete access to your home and personal belongings, as well as being entrusted to care for your pet. Take special care when studying the contract to ensure that all the discussed and agreed-upon services have been included.
#3 Let Your Pet Give Them a Try-out
Even after you've selected a potential pet sitter who has met all of your criteria, there are equally important members of your family who have yet to approve them – your pets! A qualified pet sitter should agree to your request to have them visit your home so you can watch them interact with your pet. What better way to feel at ease than knowing your pets approve of your choice!
#2 Ask About Emergency Plans
Accidents and mishaps happen, and you'll want to select a person who is experienced and resourceful enough to protect your pet as well as you would. For older and special needs pets, the potential sitter should document medication, feeding, and other health-related cycles. A comprehensive veterinary and/or partner pet sitter network should provide help if needed.
#1 Level of Service
Pet sitting is as varied as your needs may be. Some services may include grooming along with live-in care, while others may offer play time, outdoor exercise, and training. Some pet sitters may also combine their services with nutritional regimens such as weight loss. Once you and your pet have determined which is the best level of care, a bit of research will have you finding the best fit for your pet care needs in no time!
How Can You Tell if You Have a Bad Sitter?
Pet sitters are a great solution, but how do you know when the person you've hired does not have your pet's best interests at heart? Read 5 Signs of a Bad Sitter so you'll know what to look for.

We use DogSmith and they are great!
I am a pet sitter. My specialty is dogs and horses, though I will also take care of cats, feed chickens, whatever else needs doing. I compete in Rally and Obedience with my dog and I trained and showed my own horses for years. As a pet sitter, I as a lot of questions. I want to know the animals' feeding schedules, exactly what they eat, who to call if they get sick, any odd habits they may have, any problems that may occur on the property. As a horse sitter, I have delt with broken water pipes, leaking sprinklers, gates off hinges, injuries, all sorts of things. You want a sitter that is aware and paying attention.
I am also flexible. Last month I took care of three poodles for a week. Initially, we figured two visits a day, which would include one good, long walk either morning or evening. On the first day it was obvious that this would not be enough for the older dog, so I went a third time each day, late in the evening. The poodles were much happier with the extra visit and I was glad to know they were okay. (These are dogs I walk weekly, so I know them, and their owners, well.)
It is also a good idea to look at the sitter's own pets. Are they healthy, well trained and happy? Finally, is there a back-up plan if the sitter gets sick? I, who NEVER get anything, was hit with a really nasty stomach virus on January first. When you are vomiting and passing out, it is pretty hard to drive out to care for a barn full of horses. Fortunately, my husband had gone with me in the past and knew the animals' routines. While I stayed home being cared for by my sheltie, my husband went and fed and cleaned up after three percherons and one very sweet great dane mix. I was on my feet by the next day but if I had not had a substitute it would have been bad.
Caring for others' animals is a big responsibility but I love doing it!
I have owned a pet sitting company in Seattle for the past 13 years. Most of the suggestions in this article are excellent. I would even take it further and say not only to ask for references, but be sure to call them! Many people go on their gut instinct, and that is likely to be right, but I still urge people to call references and ask if they're still using the sitter, and if not, why not. I also ask if there is anything they would have liked done differently. That way, they don't have to bad-mouth their sitter, but you can get an idea if something important is being overlooked. In my experience, most pet sitters are good, responsible, ethical people, but for your peace of mind, better to be safe than sorry.
I do warn against putting too much emphasis on the certification. I have been active on national pet sitting forums for all my years in business, and of the hundreds of pet sitters I've gotten to know, both locally and online, only a tiny fraction have taken a certification course. Life-long experience with a variety of pets, and a strong sense of responsibility and common sense are key to good pet care. I do recommend looking for sitters who are trained in pet first aid.
The second recommendation here that I'd modify a little is #5 that suggests picking a sitter with an established relationship with a boarding facility. A solid back-up plan in general is the important thing to have. For example, I have a large network of pet sitters in Seattle whom I could call on for help if something happened to me. These are people I know and trust. I also require the name of a client's neighbor or nearby friend who has a key to the client's house and can step in if weather or natural disaster should prevent me from getting to the home. I have the client's vet and nearby emergency clinics mapped out. And I have a written procedure on where to find schedules, files, keys and their codes, etc., so that if I should die or be unconscious, my sister or friend who have the procedures could step in and avoid animals being left unattended. -
There's a website wwww.sityourpets.com where you can find and book pet sitters in your area. It makes it easy to find a qualified, licensed, and insured pet sitter.
Its also a good platform for professional pet sitters to use to get bookings for their services.

Señor inspired me to get Haanta out of hiding, and that little hunter girl has been having fun. Before making dinner, and not being able to go to Firelands due to previous obligations, took a few minutes and ran through Sunwell, and she picked up this:
Man-oh-man, those runs are fun.
Now--I want to find a First Mate's Hat - does anyone know where I can get one?

Yeah...have fun with the hat. It has a less than 0.1% chance of dropping from a Bloodsail Buccaneer.
The bow does look good. It actually seems to fit her better than it would Liouxpold (who's a crossbow fellow for the most part just the same). This is why it pays to give in (even briefly) to my hounding when it comes to Laid Back Raids, lol.Never tell me the odds, kid.
Momo was leveling her herbalism, and knock a few pirate hats off, but yeah--it gave me flashbacks of when Mataoka became a Bloodsail Admiral, and then had to work with rivers of blood and tears to earn her way back in the good graces of the goblins. Invoking Parlay is one of my favorite posts, so my dear friend may just have to go roust pirates on his own.

that's just what the doco says: "alarm Emulated using timers ...". In the sense that the OS has neither a native alarm API nor *nix-style signals, it is emulated. But then again, under modern versions of *nix including linux, the original form of alarm is also "emulated with timers", so not so different. perlport says it's "unsupported"; perlfork says it's "not yet implemented".

Thanks for posting the new trailer tmac! I'm getting so pumped for this.
We gotta have a boardie meet up and take over the dance floor!
I'd be down I've never met anyone on the boards before. Richie's set?

5/25 EDC NY (2manydjs!!!!)

Ugh...I will never get the fascination with concert trailers.
Not the same as being there at all and still doesn't capture everything with some cheesy boom boom song.
"Get ready for the experience of a lifetime"
Edit: I'll post the map Tuesday
I hope for a Friday boardie meetup, I'll nominate: Not Me for proposing where we meet.
Here's to hoping less gravel at the techno stage and a good number of decent acts for the Cosmic Garden
Schedule will probably be out Tuesday or Wednesday.
You mean "schedule and full lineup available at gates"
I cannot believe we got the initial lineup so early and yet, they couldn't seal the deal on the final lineup within two weeks of the event. Shame Rotella, stop having people working on stupid fucking trailers and a picture with a countdown on it. Didn't we already have a trailer when the tickets were announced? WHY MUST YOU PISS OFF MOBY?
I r joking, but wouldn't be surprised if that was the case
There's no fuckin way that's the case. Set times will be out before the event without a doubt.
Not gonna lie, cheese, or not, that trailer just made me feel 25 years younger and I'm ready to share in the experience! Many a rock concert in my time, but nothing compares to the energy and fun I have at EDC... Time to throw caution to the wind!
BTW... What did you guys think about the packaging and goodies that were sent? I've already gotten creative with the poster and plan on planting the edseeds when we return after the weekend. (Yes, really...)
and this..
and dj HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE
and yikes at the dusty stage last year..worst shit ever (edit - except for the bass stage at edc 2009) not to mention it's the Cosmic Meadow and the Neon Garden...
i have no idea. im guessing its because they are having like that armin van burren trance stage friday, which will prolly be the 2nd biggest stage.
last year, the techno stage the 2nd biggest stage i believe?
so 2nd biggest stage friday is trance stage
sat is richies stage
sunday is carl cox stage
thats why maybe no techno friday?
First of all to the people mentioning the dust, Pasquale has tweeted numerous times that this issue has been fixed, so don't worry about that.
And Armin isn't on Friday, its Above & Beyond's stage. There probably will not be too much techno on Friday night but I think there is some deep house, or maybe hardstyle?
yep q-dance stage is fri too http://www.facebook.com/Official.Qdance/events?ref=ts
Last edited by nick5745; 06-03-2012 at 04:09 PM.
oh ya ur right. i dont know shit about trance, so i was spewing out shit.
regardless, trance stage is friday.
i guess armin is spinning saturday and sunday.
friday isnt looking so great, so im prolly gonna walk around alot to diff stages, and go on rides and shit with my girl. might have to go see kaskade and the cheese.... dont judge me!
just found out ASOT stage is saturday and sunday.
techno will prolly be reduced to a smaller stage lol. shit.
Last edited by Oranix; 06-03-2012 at 04:45 PM.

"I love trying new recipes, so my son-in-law suggested we grill sweet potatoes," relates Lillian Neer, Long Eddy, New York. "Served with steak, they're a great change of pace from traditional baked potatoes...and pretty, too."
20 Ways to Make Potatoes on the Grill
- 2 large sweet potatoes, halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- Garlic salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Cut two pieces of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. x 12 in.); place a potato half on each. Spread cut side with butter. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Top each potato with another half. Fold foil over potatoes and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat for 30 minutes or until tender, turning once. To serve, fluff potatoes with a fork and drizzle with honey. Yield: 4 servings.

"These sweet potatoes are SO good! I was put off by the garlic salt and pepper at first. But, I like a culinary challenge, so I went for it. Boy was I glad I did! I used Johnny's Garlic bread seasoning instead of the garlic salt and pepper. The garlic salt gives the potato a cheesy texture and taste while still staying sweet. I can't really describe it, just try them! You'll be glad you did!"

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater and Tropical Fish
- - Stocking?
Stocking? Hi! It's been years since I've posted here! After an international move though I've finally got myself a new fish tank, and I'm looking for a bit of advice. :) My tank is 200 litres (51 US gallons, I think?), and I've currently got the following in it: Two plecs (each 17cm+) Two angelfish Three adult mollies (one male, two female) One adult platy Two zebra danios One clown loach (I'm going to pick up 3-4 more to make a happy little shoal for him) About 20 1-1.5cm long platy and molly fry (not all of which will be kept once they've grown up) I've not yet planted my tank, but I'm going to be adding in lots of tall plants, as well a rocks and so on that both the angels and the clowns can enjoy. The advice I'm looking for is whether or not I can add any more fish to the tank (bearing in mind the number of clowns will increase to max five)? If I can, what would be recommended? Thanks! :D |
I see a couple of issues that could develop into something. First, the clown loach needs a group as you realize, but this fish can attain 8+ inches and needs a 5-6 foot tank minimum. you can read more in the profile (click the shaded name). Angelfish should preferably be in small groups, 5-6 in this 50g would be fine. Unless you have a breeding pair. Two males for instance will eventually likely fight until one is dead. More in the profile, Pterophyllum scalare. Zebra danio are active shoaling fish and not really suited to the sedate angelfish. They should have a group, 6+, or they might consider nipping the angels' fins. This is not a guarantee, all fish are different due to this and that, but the shoaling fish do have this tendency. Byron. |
Thanks! How will I know if I have a breeding pair of angels? They spend a lot of time swimming together and mimicking each other's movements, but I have no idea how to tell, other than that. :p My two danios prefer to be apart from each other, and they've not been bothering the angels that I've seen. Will getting a few more make them friendlier? :) |
Danio are shoaling fish, and such fish should always be in groups. They interact socially, and feel "safer" with more of their own around them. When this need is not met, they can react by becoming aggressive to each other and other fish. There are no hard and fast rules, only guidelines. I would certainly suggest more of them--but I also don not suggest danio in with angelfish. This is explained in the profile of the latter. |
I popped to my LFS and rounded out the shoals, as suggested. :) My tank's now got: Two plecs (each 17cm+) Five Angelfish Three adult mollies (one male, two female) One adult Platy Six Zebra Danios Four Clown Loach (I'm going to pick up 3-4 more to make a happy little shoal for him) 18 1-1.5cm long Platy fry Four 1-1.5cm long Molly fry It's all been planted up, too, with some driftwood added. Click to see! |
Ermm... Did you read the profiles? A 6 foot (183 cm) tank is a 125 gallon (473 Liter) [or larger]. The Clown Loach will just not work at all, and I wouldn't put them with Angelfish anyways. I'd strongly suggest returning all of them. What species of Pleco? 17 cm is over 6 inches which would suggest they may not be one of the small varieties of Pleco. The Common Pleco can get up to 50 cm in length. As already stated, Zebra Danio will cause stress to Angelfish. One thing not mentioned is you have hard, alkaline fish (molly and platty) mixed with soft, acidic fish (everything else). |
First off, the tank looks nice. Just a few points though, the bioload on that tank is going to be too high. Plecos create a lot of waste and common plecos (not sure which species you have but that's what the one in the pic looks like) will outgrow a 50 gallon tank. Once fully grown, the angelfish will also create a decent amount of waste because, as most people forget, they are cichlids and will eat a lot. Also it seems like that tank is going to be a bit crowded, that's a lot of livebearers in there and they will breed. And the clown loaches also will create a large bioload because they eat like crazy. You're gonna need a lot of filtration and a good water change regiment. |

Miss Connecticut USA Erin Brady is the Miss USA 2013 winner; see photos and video below. She was crowned on Sunday, June 16 at the 62nd annual pageant at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The first runner up is Miss Alabama USA Mary Margaret McCord.
She emerged victorious from an original field of 51 contestants that was narrowed down to a round of competing semi-finalists and finalists in the live NBC broadcast hosts E! News' Giuliana Rancic and Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Details, video highlights and pics are below after the jump.

The outgoing Miss USA 2012, Nana Meriwether of Maryland (who replaced Olivia Culpo of Rhode Island, the original winner who went on to become Miss Universe 2012) is the one who relinquished the crown to the 2013 winner, Erin Brady. She was selected by judges Betsey Johnson, Bob Harper and Mo Rocca among others.
Remaining Miss USA 2013 finalists were as follows:
1st Runner Up: Miss Alabama – Margaret McCord
2nd Runner Up: Miss Illinois – Stacie Juris
3rd Runner Up: Miss Utah – Marissa Powell
4th Runner Up: Miss Texas Ali Nugent
5th Runner Up: Miss South Carolina – Megan Pinckney.
In her interview question, Erin Brady was asked by about the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision which upholds the right of law enforcement to collect DNA from anyone who is arrested. She said:
"I would agree that if somebody is being prosecuted and has committed a crime that is that severe, that they should submit a DNA test," she told the judges. "If we can come one step closer to finding who's done it, we should do so."
She also gave her take on the challenges social media has presented to young people.
"I think that unfortunately everybody today has resorted to tweeting or sending text messages," she said. "Verbal communication is something everybody is lacking. I'm a people person, and I know I'd rather shake your hand than send a text."

The New York Film Critics' Circle, widely considered one of the leading organizations of film critics in the country, have announced the winners of their 2011 awards.
Voting took place at the Film Society of Lincoln Center earlier today it was said to be a heated and divisive process. In the end, Michel Hazanavicius's "The Artist" took prizes for both best picture and best director, signifcantly boosting its reputation as the film to beat come Oscar night.
Films starring Brad Pitt (as well as Brad Pitt himself) also fared well: Pitt won best actor for "Moneyball" and "The Tree of Life," while "Moneyball" took best screenplay and "Life" best cinematography.
Pitt's "Tree of Life" onscreen wife Jessica Chastain took best supporting actress honors for a trio of performances including "Life," "Take Shelter" and "The Help." That rightfully honors one of the most impressive debut years for an actress well, ever.
Chastain will be honored alongside veterans Meryl Streep and Albert Brooks, who took actress and supporting actor nods for "The Iron Lady" and "Drive," respectively. Their Oscar chances – along with everyone else who won – have been significantly boosted.

Is there a way to make a flash game without having programing knowledge
idk...that would be awesome though cuz then i could let all my ideas flow...
You don't need programming knowledge, but you do need a good grasp of game logic. Stencyl is a good place to start if you've never programmed before.That said, if you want to go further into the world of flash game development, you'll want to learn programming. Trust me, it's not that hard.
thanks i think stencyl will work

In the final four paragraphs of the Liquidator's October 18, 2010 website update, it was noted that a lone purported creditor's appeal of the rejection of his proof of debt remained before the Courts for determination, and that the issuance of a final distribution to creditors was delayed on the basis of this ongoing litigation.
On July 31, 2012 the Liquidator applied to the High Court for an Order seeking security for costs against this purported creditor in relation to his appeal.
The Honourable Madam Justice Gertel Thom ordered the purported creditor to pay the sum of EC$15,000 as security for costs, within six weeks of the date of the Order, with a resulting stay of proceedings until the sum was paid. The Order provided that if the security for costs was not posted, the purported creditor's appeal would be dismissed.
The sum of EC$15,000 was subsequently posted, and the Court is expected to issue directions with respect to the hearing of the appeal in the coming weeks.
It is anticipated that the merits of this appeal will be heard by the High Court in early 2013.
In the Spring of 2012, the Liquidator also applied to the Court to strike a Notice of Action filed by a former HBI Controller, which pertained to pre-Liquidation era costs allegedly incurred by this claimant while serving in this role. The Liquidator takes the position that the former HBI Controller's claim was at all times and remains an ordinary provable claim in the Liquidation, and had previously admitted a Proof of Debt filed submitted by this individual as a proven unsecured claim. The Liquidator's decision in this regard was not appealed by the creditor, and a dividend cheque was issued and cashed.
The Liquidator therefore moved to strike the creditor's legal action, which the Liquidator argues improperly purports to operate outside of the ongoing liquidation process, and is barred by res judicata, estoppel and on other legal and procedural grounds.
The High Court recently heard the Liquidator's Application and a decision is pending.
An update on various matters relating to the Liquidation of the Bank: |
View update, dated October 18, 2010 |
The Liquidator has coordinated a settlement of the outstanding litigation the Estate of Horizon Bank had been engaged with involving the proprietary claims of Walsh and Taal which had been advanced in the Bermuda Courts, and had been further appealed by the Liquidator to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The terms of settlement are confidential, however the Liquidator expects as a result of this settlement that the general body of Horizon Bank's creditors will see dividends which might not have been available but for the compromise of this litigation on the eve of the Privy Council appeal hearing date. Further details of this settlement will be the subject of reports to the Court in St. Vincent, and explanation as to the ramifications it will have for the creditors of Horizon Bank shall follow in further updates to be posted on this website.
As discussed in the last status update (available below), the Liquidator has commenced the process of bringing to the Privy Council in the UK an appeal of the March 2009 decision by the Bermuda Court of Appeal concering ongoing litigation between the HBI estate and Mssrs. Walsh and Taal. Dates for the Privy Council hearing on the appeal have been set for April 14-15, 2010. A further update will be posted here further information becomes available.

Updates on two matters relating to the Liquidation estate.Update on Creation of Liquidator's Committee of Inspectors:
Update on Status of Bermuda Proprietary Claim:
[Apr 6, 2006]
Despite approval by the Court in St. Vincent for the Liquidator to move toward an interim distribution, recovery of funds for the estate of the Bank continue to be impeded by the ongoing litigation in Bermuda. This litigation is with respect to the Bank's most significant asset (its accounts at Bermuda Commercial Bank Limited ("BCB")) which remains frozen by order of the Court. This action was commenced prior to the Liquidation, and the ancillary proceeding taken out by the Liquidator in Bermuda.The plaintiffs in the Bermuda litigation claim entitlement to all funds held in the Bank's accounts at BCB. The Court in its previous ruling did not give effect to the consequence of the Liquidation in St Vincent. Also it became clear that for the Liquidation to have standing in the Bermuda litigation an ancillary proceeding in Bermuda appointing Liquidators was required. This has been accomplished. However it was still not clear when the Bermuda litigation would advance to its natural conclusion. An initial effort by the Liquidator to see the matter settled did not meet with a response, and subsequent claims received in the Liquidation also asserting proprietary rights have added an additional layer of complexity, as has the potential for the need to resist or litigate claims in other jurisdictions, over essentially the same issues put before the Court in Bermuda. One of these claims, filed on behalf of victims of an allegedly fraudulent scheme which used Horizon and three other banks as conduits for the allegedly stolen money, is itself complex and may take significant time to resolve in each of, the legal standing to make the claim, its ranking given they claim a proprietary interest, and its value. Therefore even if funds are recovered in the short term there are other claims whose priority and value need to be resolved before a distribution can be made. An application to reduce the amount of funds presently frozen in Bermuda is being prepared, and is expected to be heard by the Supreme Court of Bermuda during the same scheduled hearing dates noted below, which is the first opportunity. In any event, trial dates and directions will be sought in relation to the Bermuda litigation. The present de facto plaintiffs are making application on April 26 and 27, 2006 to settle the terms of the early interlocutory Decision of the Bermuda Court, which should if nothing else define the manner in which the Court in Bermuda will deal with the matter and whether or not it will be possible to confine the issues for determination to Bermuda. |
[Oct 13, 2005]
The Liquidator's First Report to the High Court of Justice of St. Vincent and the Grenadines was filed on October 6, 2005. A copy of the report is posted below. |
[Sep 2, 2005]
The following is an update, by jurisdiction, of the recent activities of the Liquidator.Bermuda The Liquidator is in the process of securing dates for a hearing in the Supreme Court of Bermuda respecting the permanent stay of the Bermuda litigation between Bermuda Commercial Bank Limited and HBI et al. It is anticipated that the Court will be able to hear parties in relation to this issue in October 2005 at the earliest. On the same date the aforesaid hearing takes place, the Liquidator will also file an application in Bermuda in relation to the February 7, 2005 Decision of Kawaley J. in which funds in an account maintained by HBI with Bermuda Commercial Bank Limited the amount of $5,631,439.84 were frozen. Specifically, the Liquidator will be applying to introduce new evidence suggesting the Court's conclusion as to the amount of funds subject to an interim freeze order was incorrect, leading to the improper freezing of some $1,208,576.41. The Liquidator will request that the Supreme Court of Bermuda vary its previous interim freezing Order and release to the Liquidator the aforementioned balance, for the benefit of HBI's estate creditors. Ontario and Turks & Caicos Islands On July 24, 2005, the High Court of Justice in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines issued letters seeking the judicial assistance of the Courts in Ontario Canada, the Turks & Caicos Islands and Bermuda. The Liquidator is preparing to take steps in each of these jurisdictions to see to the recognition of his powers pursuant to the Winding-Up Order, as this recognition may be required for purposes of conducting examinations and tracing and recovering assets and property of HBI, wherever found. Bahamas The Liquidator continues to gather information, books, records and property of HBI in the Bahamas pursuant to the Order of the Supreme Court of the Bahamas granted on April 25, 2005 by which the Liquidator's powers under the Winding-Up Order were officially recognized in that jurisdiction. Determinations are being made in relation to the conducting of examinations of HBI's officers, directors and/or directing minds who presently reside in the Bahamas, in the hope that information gathered will assist in the realization of additional assets and property. |
[Jun 14, 2005]
On June 6, 2005, the High Court of Justice of St. Vincent and the Grenadines ordered the Winding Up of Horizon Bank International Limited and appointed Marcus A. Wide, as Liquidator of the Bank. A copy of the order is available below.The Liquidator is now receiving Proofs of Debt, the prescribed form is available below. On June 9, 2005 a temporary stay of proceedings was ordered by the Supreme Court of Bermuda, Civil Jurisdication in the matter of Bermuda Commerical Bank Limited v. Horizon International Bank Limited et al. A copy of the order will be posted below once it becomes available. |
[Apr 28, 2005]
On April 21, 2005, following a petition by the Honourable Judith Jones-Morgan, Attorney General of the state of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the High Court of Justice of St. Vincent and the Grenadines appointed Marcus A. Wide as Provisional Liquidator of Horison Bank International Limited. A copy of the court order is available below. |

Clinical symptoms vary in thyrotoxicosis, and severity of these depends on many factors. Over the last years, impact of genetic factors upon the development and clinical significance of thyrotoxic symptoms became evident. It is known that a production of T3 in various tissues is limited by deiodinase 2 (D2). Recent studies revealed that certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (including threonine (Thr) to alanine (Ala) replacement in D2 gene codon 92, D2 Thr92Ala) affect T3 levels in tissues and in serum. Individuals with Ala92Ala genotype have lower D2 activity in tissues, compared with that in individuals with other genotypes. In our study, we have assessed an association of D2 Thr92Ala polymorphism with (1) frequency of disease development, (2) severity of clinical symptoms of thyrotoxicosis, and (3) rate of remissions, in Graves' disease patients.

Dieter Roth/Björn Roth"
Time Out says
Hauser & Wirth inaugurates its new 25,000-square-foot Chelsea location with a retrospective of the German Conceptualist Dieter Roth (1930–1998). Reenvisioned, and in some cases re-created, by son Björn, his work encompasses sculpture, painting, poetry, filmmaking and music, with every medium used to blur the distinction between Roth's art and his life.
The Floor I and The Floor II are literally the floors removed from two of the artist's studios, arrayed vertically besides each other like the sides of a giant ark. Self Tower is a column made of chocolate heads, formed as indistinct lumps instead of recognizable self-portraits. Standing more than 16 feet tall, it is matched by Sugar Tower, which features the same items created from the titular confection. You can watch the busts being fabricated on-site in New York Kitchen, which bustles with assistants stirring pots of melted chocolate and sugar as they cast likenesses of the artist.
Equally flamboyant is Large Table Ruin (1978), a Rube Goldberg–like collision of worktables, cigarette butts, dirty paintbrushes, puddles of spilled pigment, movie projectors, reels of film and a bookcase stuffed with empty beer bottles. It's a classic vision of the mad artist at work. But to watch this particular madman in action, spend some time with Solo Scenes, a wall of video monitors playing vignettes from the last year of the artist's life.
Thrilled as I was to see Roth's art, I had the nagging feeling that the show was essentially an exercise in male entitlement. How many woman artists, after all, get to display their kitchens in grand galleries or parlay a bad-girl attitude into a huge career? Something to consider while exploring this layered and fascinating exhibition.—Barbara Pollack
