I have never been a gambler. On a few occassions when in Las Vegas or Reno, I played the slots for a while. Here in Washington, casinos are everywhere. A few weeks ago I went to a local casino and tried the slots. As luck would have it, on my fourth or fifth try on a penny slot (50 Lions), I won $1,600. This got my attention. I played for a few more hours and actually increased my take by a couple of hundred. Very cool.
I discovered a few things that day. The most surprising is that I really have fun playing slot machines. My prior experience was that mostly playing a slot is a dull, repetitive activity with little of interest. However, the new video slots were actually fun! You get little shows, bonus rounds, all sorts of activity that captured my interest. So, I found a new hobby of sorts.
The first thing I did after that fun weekend was to see what I could find on the web. There is a lot of slot machine advice out there. Most of it is really stupid. I did manage to learn how slots work and what, if anything, you can do to improve the outcome. Of course, I tested these theories by observation and actual play. First here is what I will discuss:
- Slot machine location in the casino
- Payout percentages
- "Loose" and "Tight" slots
- Best bet for winning (0r at least not losing much)
Location in the Casino and tight and loose slots
Virtually every article says that slot machines near the entrances and gaming tables are tight (don't pay often) and machines near the snack bar, rest rooms, and cashiers are loose (pay frequently). The theory is that if people eating (in the case of the snack bar) see winning going on, they will rush their meal to get back to win money. The same is true of rest rooms and cashiers, though in those cases the theory is that a player who may have decided to leave will stay to join in on the winning.
There may be some truth to this. Casinos do move machines around all the time. However, the ability to have tight or loose machines is debatable. All modern slot machines work the same way. There is an internal computer that contains something known as a random number generator (RNG). This RNG spits out numbers at the rate of thousands per second. When you push the button (pull the handle), the slot's computer takes the next several numbers (one number for each reel) and uses them to determine what you will see and win. The final outcome of the spin is known within a fraction of a second after you start the play. All the rolling around of reels and other stuff is just showbiz. The actual pay or no pay is calculated in that split second.
Knowing that, it's hard to understand how some slots are tight or loose. Now just because random numbers determine the outcome of any spin, doesn't mean the casino is gambling. It's not. Let's take a quick look inside the machine's brain. Each reel has a certain number of symbols (cards, animals, whatever). Let's say in one game there are 10 symbols. One symbol if it comes up across all the reels will pay the jackpot. The number of symbols is not the number of choices available to the computer. While you see ten symbols, the program has 64 "slots"…the random number is going to end up between 1 and 64. The program assigns slots to each symbol. So, probably only one slot is assigned to the jackpot on each reel. Other symbols will have more than one slot assigned to them. You can calculate the machine's payout over time by knowing how these slots are assigned. If one of 64 slots is assigned to the jackpot on each reel, and the machine has 3 reels, the probability you will win that jackpot is 1 in 64 x 64 x 64 or 1 in 262,144. So you can see that the probability any combination will show can be calculated.
The slot machine maker can program any payout rate the casino wants. In most states there is a legal minimum, usually around 75% (the machine pays $75 out of every hundred taken in). In practice, most casinos buy there machnes with at least 90% payout. If they don't pay high percentages, people will go to another casino. One myth is that in the "control room" of the casino, slot payout rates can be changed at any time. That's not true, it's illegal, and in fact a new chip from the manufacturer would need to be installed in the machine to change the payout rate.
As any slot player knows, some machines do seem to pay more often than others. Well, random determined actions can certainly clump (ten jackpots in a row), who knows. The fact is that the chance of a jackpot is the same on every spin, regardless of when the last payout was made.
Chances are good (though no one will admit it) that machines in a casino will have different payout rates, thus creating loose or tight slots. I think the machines near the snack bar do pay better. But what do I know?
Payout Percentages
As I mentioned before, the overall payout for a machine is mathematically determined by how the slots are assigned for each reel. That means over time (years sometimes), a machine will pay back the assigned percentage to the player and the casino gets the rest.
This has no effect on what will happen when you play. But there is a strategy buried in this data for the player. We know that over a long period of time (lots of bets), we will lose at the rate determined by the slot payout. So if the slot pays 90%, over time we should lose 10% of our money. Over a shorter period of time we could lose everything or win a fortune. That's what makes playing random-determined games fun.
Knowing this, you can reduce the chances of losing it all by planning your bets. To do this, you have to be careful about which machines you choose. The minimum size of your bet should be determined by what you can afford and how the slot pays. Slot wins are calculated using two variables: pay lines and mulitpliers.
The pay line is the position of symbols on a reel that will win you money. In the simplest case, the pay line is a straight line drawn horizontally across all the reels. The payout is based on which (and how many) of a symbol appear in that line. Most modern machines have many pay lines that zig zag across the reels. Usually you "buy" the paylines. On a penny machine, a one-cent bet buys the center pay line, additional money buys more pay lines. Always buy all of the pay lines. You will regret it if you don't. So if you need to bet 50-cents on a penny machine to get all the pay lines, that is the minimum you should bet. If you can't afford that, find a different machine with a better deal.
Multipliers reward you for increasing your bet. If a machine has 15 pay lines (penny machine) then the minimum bet to cover all of those lines is 15 cents. On many machines, larger bets will multiply your winnings by some factor. If you want to bet more than the minimum, look for machines with fair multipliers. In this example, a 50-cent bet would probably have a 4x or 5x multiplier. On other machines, particularly progressive jackpot machines, you must bet the maximum to be eligible for the big wins. On machines of that type, if you can't afford the maximum bet, walk away.
How do you determine what you need as a bankroll? First, what you can afford to lose. You should always assume you will lose all the money you gamble. If you end up winning, or not losing it all, good for you! If all you can afford is $40 and you play a machine that requires a dollar bet to cover all the lines, you have 40 spins to get a payoff. Most modern machines pay off at least 50% of the time, but the payoffs are usually less than your bet. So it slows down cleaning you out, but in the end you will drop it all into the machine.
If, on the other hand, you have enough money for say, 200 spins, you improve the chance that some of those spins will be for more than you bet, possibly considerably more. If you could afford thousands of spins, and have the patience to sit long enough to play them, the odds are pretty good you will lose that 10% (on a 90%) machine that is the casino's share. That's why it is called gambling.
So, as far as I can tell the best slots strategy is:
- Determine how much you can afford to lose. That is your bankroll
- Pick machines that allow you to bet the maximum or at least cover all lines at a cost that will let you execute at least 200 spins.
- If you believe the common wisdom, pick machines away from table games and entrances and near snack bars, cashiers, and bathrooms.
- Pick machines that are fun to play, that may not offer giant jackposts (which you probably won't win anyway). Pick the ones with extra features, free spins, exciting sounds and music. Remember you are buying entertainment, not trying to beat the casino.
- Quit when you have lost your bankroll or get tired of playing. Note, I am not saying to quit while you have any amount of winnings. You aren't going to the casino to win, but to have fun. Let the fun level drive your decision to stay or leave.
I am very sure of the math. I am not so sure about where machines are located mattering. I do know that I really like playing slots. The ones I play make me laugh and provide me with suspense and entertainment. If you aren't having fun, go home!

Visitors to the 2013 N.C. State Fair can expect to find a mix of old and new when it comes to grounds entertainment and activities.
New musical acts, an elf-like performer who rolls around the grounds on a giant open wheel, high-flying acrobats, a fire safety show with clowns, a dog show and a pedal-propelled structure featuring circus-like aerialists will join such ever-popular acts as the racing pigs, a magician, and a walking talking robot.
All grounds entertainment is free with paid admission, so it pays to pay attention.
The Gantry Bike by Cirque Mechanics makes its debut at the State Fair and will likely attract many onlookers with its tall, pedal-powered mechanical structure that serves as a kind of stage. Aerialists dangle overhead from the structure, spinning and twirling as the whole contraption moves around between Gate 11 and Dorton Arena at noon, 3 and 6 p.m.
It won't be the only oversized rolling attraction or aerial show joining the entertainment lineup. The Wacky Wheeler is a super-sized open wheel that provides transportation for its entertaining rider, Melvin. Honking horns and colorful flags make the Wacky Wheeler nearly impossible to miss. Look for it near the Scott Building at 11 a.m. and 1, 3 and 5 p.m.
Keeping your attention skyward, Hansen's Spectacular Acrobatic Sensations is a family affair including the youngest of Shane and Alecia Michelle Hansen's three children, 3-year-old Ella. This thrilling show features high-speed juggling, acrobatic feats on a trampoline and high-flying performances on the 30-foot-tall cloud swing by Alecia Michelle. The family performs beside the FFA Children's Barn at noon, 3 and 6 p.m.
The high-flying tricks continue with the K-9s in Flight dog show. This high-energy show features rescued dogs showing off their super-athletic jumping skills and in hot pursuit of Frisbees. The dogs jump, run and spring off the back of trainer John Misita. The dogs will also showcase K9 Dock Diving. Be sure to catch these highly entertaining shows at 2, 4 and 6 p.m. near Gate 9 and the racing pigs.
Karen Quest, billed as America's Funniest Cowgirl, will entertain visitors at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in Kiddieland. Quest combines roping skills and tricks with humor for an engaging all-ages show.
The State Fair features two stages featuring a variety of musical styles. Larry Cordle, a Nashville songwriter and recording artist, will perform on the Bluegrass Stage in Heritage Circle. His shows are at 4 and 6 p.m., Oct. 17 and 3 and 6 p.m. Oct. 18-27. Diamond Creek, winner of the 2013 Got to Be NC Festival Bluegrass Competition, will perform Oct. 26 and 27 at 11 a.m. and 2 and 5 p.m.
The Kitchen Craft Waterfall Stage will feature several first-time acts such as Descendientes, Dimension and Flamasso Musical. Other performers include GrooveTown, Hicksboro Station and Larry Frick. Performances are held daily at 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30, 3, 4:30 and 6 p.m. In addition, there will be special performances on Military Day, Oct. 23.
Even with all the new entertainment planned, fairgoers will still find plenty of their favorites, including the racing pigs, Kenya Safari Acrobats, a magician, a one-man band and a BMX stunt show. Mix in a thrilling midway, lots of food options, arts and crafts, the Folk Festival, agricultural exhibits and livestock shows, and the fair is like an entertainment buffet.
The N.C. State Fair runs Oct. 17-27 at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. Advance tickets are on sale now at www.ncstatefair.org. Advance tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for kids 6-12.

Sarah Jessica Parker Launches Shoe Line
After wearing them day in and day out on "Sex and the City," Sarah Jessica Parker has announced that she will be launching her own line of shoes. But not any shoes. In pure Carrie Bradshaw fashion, Parker will be teaming up with Manolo Blahnik CEO George Malkemus for the design.
Life In Carrie's Shoes

How Evan Handler Became a Sex Symbol
Evan Handler is best known for his two "lighter" roles: Jewish divorce lawyer Harry Goldenblatt on "Sex and the City," and Charlie Runkle, agent and friend to novelist Hank Moody (David Duchovny) on "Californication."
Jewish Celebs Hobnob with Republicans
It seems that Obama has no shortage of Jewish celeb supporters such as Tory Burch, Jesse Eisenberg and Ben Stiller, to name a few. But Jewish celebs have been showing up at the Republican National Convention. As the RNC wraps up, some familiar names have surfaced:
Nick Kroll, 'The League,' and the (New) New Jew
When Philip Roth's Alexander Portnoy discusses the arcane symbolism of his girlfriend eating a banana, or talks about time spent alone in the bathroom with women's underwear hanging on the door, or any number of other things that can't even be implied in the html of a family website, he is revealing his innermost "perversions" to his analyst, the things he's repressed and sublimated and kept far away from public view; Nick Kroll's Rodney Ruxin says the same things to his group of friends on "The League" every week and they celebrate him for it, and enjoy provoking him to see what invectives he'll throw their way.

BTP: Compensation Allowance for Sole Proprietor Husband and Wife
Business Tax Policy: Compensation Allowance for Sole Proprietor Husband and Wife
A second compensation allowance deduction may be available under the Business License Law and Business Income Tax Law to a husband and wife who file a joint income tax return for both federal and state purposes. When a joint filer (husband and wife) pays tax on the rental of jointly held rental property or a combination of property owned in each one's name as separate property, each spouse is considered an owner and each spouse can claim a compensation allowance deduction.
Example 1: Dan and Eva Johnston, husband and wife, file joint federal and state income tax returns. Dan owns a fourplex and Eva owns a commercial office rental in Portland. Since both Dan and Eva meet the requirements of ownership and filing status, each qualify as an owner for the compensation allowance deduction.
Example 2: Frank and Marla Sparks file a joint return. Marla owns 12 residential dwelling units while Frank is employed as a stockbroker. Marla is the only owner for City and County tax purposes, and therefore, only one compensation allowance deduction is allowed.
In instances where one spouse owns a business and the other spouse works in the business, a second compensation allowance deduction may be allowed for both the Business License Law and the Business Income Tax Law in limited circumstances. If the non-owner spouse works more than half-time (1000 hours per tax year), the nonowner spouse is also allowed a compensation allowance deduction. Any salary paid to the non-owner spouse is required to be added back to determine net income in this case. If the non-owner spouse works less than 1000 hours, but that individual's participation in the activity for the taxable year is not less than the participation in the activity of any other individual (including individuals who are not owners of interests in the activity) for such year, the non-owner spouse will be allowed a compensation allowance deduction.
Example 3: Sam Andrews is a part-time real estate appraiser. His wife, Ann, works for him as a secretary/bookkeeper. Both Sam and Ann each work approximately 650 hours during the taxable year. There are no other employees in the business. Since no one else in the business participates to a greater extent than she does (not even Sam), Ann would be allowed a compensation deduction even though she works less than half-time.
Example 4: Faith Simpson owns and operates an art gallery in Portland and employs 11 full-time staff. She also owns commercial rental property. Her husband, Dan, works two days a week in the gallery as a salesman. Since Dan does not work more than half-time and since others in the gallery participate to a greater extent than Dan, he is not allowed a compensation allowance deduction.

A package containing a Jordan Lynch lunchbox and notepad recently arrived on my desk.
The lunchbox touted Lynch, Northern Illinois' senior quarterback, as a Heisman candidate this season.
Undoubtedly, the lunchbox is right. Lynch recorded 4,953 yards of total offense and accounted for 44 touchdowns while leading NIU to a 12-2 record and a second consecutive Mid-American Conference championship last year. Only one returning quarterback posted better numbers and just four recorded as many victories.
But there's a major difference between being a "Heisman candidate" and actually winning the award.
While it's impossible to know exactly what Lynch and the Huskies would have to do for Lynch to be accepting college football's most prestigious honor come December, we can generate a fair estimate based on recent Heisman races.
The most essential Heisman Trophy statistic is wins. A quarterback has won 11 of the last 13 Heismans and all but two of them (Tim Tebow, 2007; Robert Griffin III, 2011) had 10+ wins before the bowl games started.
Lynch and the Huskies met that standard last year, going 12-1, and it still wasn't enough as Lynch finished seventh in the voting.
The case of former Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, who was twice a Heisman finalist, shows the importance of wins and, more specifically, an undefeated season for a mid-major quarterback like Lynch.
In 2006, Brennan posted the best numbers of his career, throwing for 5,500 yards and an FBS-record 58 touchdowns. However, his team was 10-3 before the bowl game and he finished sixth in the voting. In 2007, Brennan threw for "just" 4,000 yards and 38 touchdowns, but Hawaii went undefeated and earned a berth in the Sugar Bowl. Brennan would finish third.
Another NIU loss to Iowa or a MAC loss to Ball State or Toledo would raise the same questions about whether NIU (and therefore Lynch) is on the same level as their counterparts from BCS conferences.
That's why NIU would have to rattle off 13 straight wins and win a third consecutive MAC championship for Lynch to have a chance.
Many mid-major quarterbacks have captained undefeated teams in the last decade. TCU's Andy Dalton (2010), Boise St.'s Kellen Moore (2009) and the aforementioned Brennan come to mind, but none of them posted the out-of-this-world stats necessary for players from mid-major conferences. And none of them won the Heisman.
Lynch had crazy numbers last season. He broke the FBS record for rushing yards by a quarterback and only Johnny Manziel had more total yards. Lynch had 11 consecutive 100-yard rushing games and put up 569 yards of total offense against Toledo alone.
But the loss to Iowa in Week 1 stuck.
So what kind of numbers would Lynch have to post this year in addition to an undefeated regular season?
No mid-major player has won the Heisman since BYU's Ty Detmer in 1990. That season he threw for a then-record 5,188 yards and 41 touchdowns.
While it may be tough for Lynch to touch some national records like the 5,976 total yards posted by Texas Tech's B.J. Symons in 2003, Lynch would likely need to top last year's totals and be the national leader in several statistical categories.
5,000 total yards and 50 touchdowns might do the trick, yeah?
Even as statisticians create more ways to objectively define the best players in sports, Heisman Trophy winners all have that "defining moment" that solidifies the ballot for most voters
Over recent years these moments are easy to recall. Manziel took down Alabama in Tuscaloosa last year, RG3 dominated a ranked Texas team at home in the final game of the regular season, and Cam Newton rallied Auburn to a win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl before winning the SEC title.
While many will point to NIU's non-conference games against Iowa and Purdue as such opportunities, most of these defining moments tend to happen late in the season and closer to the award ceremony. Look at what happened to West Virginia's Geno Smith after he threw for 636 yards in Week 4 last season.
The MAC Championship provides the best situation as the Huskies will be at Ford Field and in front of a national TV audience. Ohio is the preseason favorite in the MAC East, and the Bobcats could also be ranked with a favorable schedule following their season opener at Louisville.
500 yards, five touchdowns and a dominating win would leave quite a final impression. Maybe another highlight-reel run like this one against Akron last season.
It will be a tall task for Lynch to end up on stage at the Downtown Athletic Club in Manhattan this December.
Getting to 13 wins, 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns is no easy feat. In fact, it's never been done before by any quarterback in FBS history.
However, it's not unprecedented for a surprise candidate to take home the Heisman. Nobody had Manziel and Griffin pegged as the Heisman favorites four months before they won the award.
And nobody thought Lynch would take NIU to the Orange Bowl last year either.

Steamboat Springs -- A man who confessed to being involved in recent car break-ins was sentenced to two years of supervised probation and nine days in jail, with credit for the time he has already served.
Daniel Esteban Duarte, 18, of Craig, was sentenced in district court on Monday. District Judge Michael O'Hara also ruled that Duarte should pay almost $3,000 in restitution to cover damages related to the car break-ins.
Warrants have been issued for two other suspects in the crimes: David Valenzuela, 19, and Alejandro Nunez Villalobos, 23, both of Craig.
Duarte has spent 67 days in jail since he was arrested on April 28 after confessing to his involvement in the crimes at Fish Creek Falls Condominiums, Eaglepointe Townhomes and Whistler Townhomes. Because those days were credited to the nine days he was sentenced to serve, Duarte was released from the Routt County Jail Monday afternoon.
Duarte was originally charged with 12 counts of trespass and theft. He pleaded guilty on June 11 to one count of first-degree criminal trespassing of a motor vehicle, a class five felony, and one count of theft of a car radio worth less than $100, a class three misdemeanor. The other charges were dismissed.
Public Defender Gail Morrison, who was representing Duarte, requested that the cost of care while Duarte was in the jail be waived.
"Considering the other significant costs in this case, (and) the fact that the defendant is indigent, we ask the court to consider waiving costs of care," Morrison said.
O'Hara said that according to Duarte's financial statement, Duarte believed he had a job waiting for him that pays $1,400 a month, which exceeds his expenses. The $5 daily cost for care Duarte would be charged was "very minimal" considering that it costs the county $42.50 daily to serve one inmate, O'Hara said, so the cost of care was not waived.
After Duarte was released, he was required to meet with a probation officer and a collections investigator.

Rex B. Hamilton looks forward to meeting you at the Midwest Haunters Convention
June 3, 2009
Greetings, Fellow Haunters:
I only have a few minutes to write to you this evening. So please pardon my briefness.
The Midwest Haunters Convention happens this weekend in Columbus, Ohio. I will be there from Thursday evening until Sunday afternoon. The Web site is www.midwesthauntersconvention.com
Whats new for me this year is an acting competition that my fellow Scab 5 members and I will judge on Friday evening right around 9:30 PM. The five of us have never done anything like this before so it should be hoot. We Scabs seem to be at our best when having to figure things out on the fly.
One could say all sorts of nice, complimentary things about MHC but the science of accounting often speaks in a way that needs no interpretation. To wit: the convention has moved into a larger exhibition hall in the Columbus Convention Center. Given the uneven economy of the moment, the fact that the haunt industry is expanding here and there should give us all hope for 2009.
As in years past, I will be an auction item for the benefit of the International Association of Haunted Attractions. At their auction, you can bid for my services for the weekend of October 30 and Halloween itself. I cant wait.
I will greet you on Saturday morning as you walk in the doors of the exhibition hall. Like every other Ohio haunter, I welcome you to our fair state and wish you Good Haunting this October.
Very truly yours,
Rex B. Hamilton

text: Join us every weekday evening as Today in WoW runs down all the WoW news that you could possibly want. From comments from Blizzard's blues to the latest datamining info -- we've got you covered. Don't forget to check out The Daily Quest and our Weekly Podcast Roundup to find out what else is going on in the WoW community. And if you have a news tip, feel free to drop us a line and let us know. Blue posts WoW news from other sites News and features from WoW Insider Links from around the web Blue posts Lylirra -- The Heart of MoP talent system Quote: So my question is, with only 6 'tiers' of talents after MoP, what is happening to all the other talents that are currently in game? Are they going to be skills you learn from your class trainer, either active or passive? Or removed from the game completely? A little of both. :) To better explain, let's divide the current talents into five categories: 1) mandatory, 2) very cool, but not mandatory, 3) sort of cool, 4) boring, and 5) useless. We're going to give you all of the "mandatory" talents to your class spec, and you'll learn those talents at certain levels like you do with core class spells. Players who skip over what we consider mandatory talents today -- like Raging Blow or Hot Streak -- are unintentionally (or maybe even intentionally) gimping themselves, and that's not what we want to have happen. We want players to be able to experience the full power of their class, so we're going to award certain talents straight-out. The second category of talents -- the cool, but not mandatory ones -- are really the heart of the new talent system (they're the talents you'll probably be choosing from in each of new six tiers). You may be glad you have talent A, but talent B and talent C are also compelling options, and it should ideally be an interesting choice about which one you take and when. The third category of talents are still pretty cool, but they just aren't at the same level as other talents. These talents make good glyphs. For example, an early version of the warrior tree had Rude Interruption as a talent, but we feel it's too situational to compete with the other talents, so we'll likely make it a glyph. The next category are boring talents -- the kind that reduce cooldowns or increase damage on some abilities. In most cases, we're just baking talents these right into the spells themselves. While there were occasionally situations where you got to decide which of these talents to take, the answers often relied on complex math problems that some other player ended up solving for most of us. Finally, the current trees (despite our best efforts) still have some bad talents. They're the talents you almost inevtiably end up with when you have a talent tree with X rows and Y columns that you need to populate. In the end, not a lot of players end up taking these talents, so we'll just cut them. We don't think they'll be missed, but if turns out that players wind up actually missing some of the Cataclysm talents in the Mist of Pandaria design, then we've probably made a mistake somewhere. Ideally, you won't miss a thing and will have more fun picking talents that cater to your play style (or, at the very least, the current situation.) source WoW news from other sites MMO-Champion Mists of Pandaria PvP Recap, Diablo 3 System Changes, Blue Posts, Fan Art Wowhead News News Round Up: Mists of Pandaria, Dragon Soul Nerfs, and Giveaway Winners News and features from WoW Insider Raid Rx: Higher-level healing starts with your mind Massively's guide to The Old Republic for WoW players Why we need difficult raid encounters WRUP: Contact your [redacted] and tell them you oppose [redacted] How to make 146g in Maelstrom Crystals in 5 minutes The Light and How to Swing It: We should never have had a block chance mastery The Daily Quest: Well heck, I didn't know about that The Lawbringer: Mail Bag 9 WoW Moviewatch: Operation GnoVibrator Fury The Queue: Gee wiz Around Azeroth: Burning down the house Phat Loot Phriday: Belt of the Beloved Companion Breakfast Topic: Do you still run daily quests?

BOB: Lifetime AchievementBoB's Your UncleThe First (and Possibly Last) Best of Burque (BoB) Awards for Lifetime AchievementWe've rolled a plush red carpet out to the curb. The stars of Albuquerque are all dolled up in their finest designer dresses and suits. Anticipation is so high, if it stood up on tippy-toes it could brush its fingertips against the surface of Mars. Yes, fellow Albuquerqueans, it's time for the unveiling of our Best of Burque Lifetime Achievement Awards, otherwise known as BoBs. These Albuquerque fixtures win the same categories every single year. In most cases, they deserve to win (the exception being the beloved Bart Prince residence's long association with the Best Architectural Nightmare category). It's time to pay extravagant homage to their success—with an imaginary, highly collectible gold statuette of a monkey box—and give someone else a shot at the top. Felix, roll the video tribute ...

By Anthony Deutsch
THE HAGUE (Reuters) - An advance team of U.N.-mandated experts has gone to Cyprus and is awaiting permission from the Syrian government to investigate allegations of chemical weapons attacks, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday.
The move puts pressure on Syria to grant access to the team, as Damascus resists extending the investigation beyond a government claim that rebels used chemical munitions near Aleppo to include rebel claims that President Bashar al-Assad's government has used them.
Syria's ally Russia has backed Damascus against demands from Western powers that the probe be widened. Ban made clear that he wanted an all-encompassing inquiry, saying it was the "firm principle" of the United Nations that investigators be granted access to all areas where chemical weapons were allegedly used.
After meeting the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which is providing scientists and equipment, in The Hague, Ban said an advance team was in Cyprus, ready to go to Syria within 24 hours.
"All we are waiting for is the go-ahead from the Syrian government to determine whether any chemicals weapons were used, in any location," Ban said.
"I urge the Syrian government to be more flexible, so that this mission can be deployed as fast as possible," he said. "We are ready, it is a matter of time."
Ahmet Uzumcu, head of the OPCW, said the full mission would comprise 15 experts, including inspectors, medical experts and chemists.
It will be headed by Swedish scientist Ake Sellstrom, a former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, whom Ban also met in The Hague. Sellstrom was to join the advance team on Monday.
Ban said all serious claims regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria should be examined, and urged speed so that evidence was preserved.
"The use of chemical weapons by any side, under any circumstances, would constitute an outrageous crime with dire consequences," he said.
Britain and France want to broaden the probe to include Homs and Damascus, where rebels say state forces used chemical munitions. They also blame the government for the incident near Aleppo.
Russia, which has used its veto-wielding seat on the U.N. Security Council to counter Western pressure on Syria, has suggested that Western countries are using the specter of weapons of mass destruction to justify intervention in Syria, as they did in Iraq.
The OPCW, established to oversee the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention, has helped to destroy roughly 80 percent of chemical weapons stockpiles declared by 188 members.
Syria is one of just eight countries not to have joined, along with Angola, Egypt, Israel, Myanmar, North Korea, Somalia and South Sudan.
Syria is believed to have one of the largest remaining stockpiles of undeclared chemical weapons in the world, making it a priority security issue for Washington and its European allies.

由6時多傾到10時多食飯,原來他們習慣6點食一點小食,10時才食晚飯的,傾了很多不同文化的問題,例如: 她教了我一點歷史,原來我的至愛colonia是烏拉圭最古老的城市,烏拉圭沒有原住民,雖然她不太喜歡mate,但係佢話烏拉圭人真係飲少陣mate會死,她給我看一張相,相中的警察當緊便都要飲mate,而且有人笑言烏拉圭人只有一隻手可以用 (因為另一隻手要拿熱水壺 & mate)。
傾了很多不同的話題,所以couchsurf真是很好玩,但記住,她說過:「不要只因為想節省旅費而去couchsurfing,couchsurfing 的真諦是要有會分享 和 學習的心,要喜歡和接受不同文化的差異,Nothing is more rewarding than such experience」
It's so perfect!! 我超喜歡異地文化的,衣度一定要讚下我自己,因為我是新會員,沒有其他人的reference,是好難去說服一個人比我couchsurf的。
佢話,當她host 南美人的時候,就算第一次見面,也會kiss面額的,而你唔會,我問如果我唔咁做會不會是不禮貌呢? 佢話,okay,這是我們的差別。
其實衣個也不是一個什麼新問題,在德國也與過很多次,this is about body language,Body language is a big topic ,首先body language在溝歺上是很重要的,因為他可能比你說的話傳遞更多的訊息。

「 Albert Mehrabian is noted for finding a 7%-38%-55% rule, supposedly denoting how much communication was conferred by words, tone, and body language」
而且每個文化的body language也是很不同的。
我給了Grace 看一張我在埃及影的相,張相大約是兩個男人q住手一齊行 (去我個blog睇,會易明白d)
Grace 諗: 「他們好可能是基的」
我第一次見到都諗: 「好可能是基的」
但自從在埃及有人想q我手 (我知道他一定是straight的),同埋通街都見到人q手,其實q手只是因為個兩個男人好friend 啫。
所以同樣發生的事,埃及人的 perception is 「其地只是普通好friend的男仔friend」
記得當我同grace講我未試kiss 我呀媽的時候,她反應好大,完全unbelievable! ,我地比起佢地真是較為內斂。
我好記得在coaching 時我一值有一件事想做,就是同呀媽講 I LOVE YOU,己經是去年2月的事了,有一個同學叫Ann,是英國人,大約三十多歲吧,她說她也未試過,她的丈夫是mexico,他就可以日日同佢媽媽講,但對佢來說就好難好難,我都係,在我們互相支持下,我淆底 (唔識寫) 了7個月,終於2009年9月18日 拿住玫瑰花 講了,這可以說是我25歲人so far 就大的成就,it feels so good 好似第一次同女仔表白咁so relieved。
衣件事according to 7 habit of highly effective people 是 not urgent & absolutely IMPORTANT 的,同埋係愈遲愈難開口講。
What's your choice? WAIT OR ACT? or wait until it gets URGENT?
It's all up to you~!

Today is my special day because it's my first couchsurfing day ever. Couchsurfing means staying in the local house and live with them. To share and to learn. There is nowhere better than living with a local to learn their culture!
About 5:30 I checked out from my hostel and departed to my host's apartment. It took roughly 35 minutes bus ride and I arrived her home. Her name is Graciela (Grace) and she studied chemcial engineering about 30 years old. She lived alone and she has a very interesting habit which caught my eys. (She studied chinese medicine for a weekend every month)
I had read her chinese medicine book. It was so FUN. When she is not feeling well, she go to both chinese & western doctor. She told me "Western doctor just cure the problem but chinese doctor cure the ROOT of the problem.
We talked from around 6 to around 10 then we had dinner. It is their practice to have a bit food at 6pm and then have dinner quite late (around 10pm). We talked about different culture over the world and a bit history of Uruguay. My best favourite city so far "colonia" is the oldest city in Uruguay!! Great!! I love it even more knowing this.
She also joked about mate " Uruguay has only one hand " because the other must be holding the mate anytime, anywhere.
We talked about different things. Couchsurfing is really Fun. As a much more experience couchsurfing member she told me 「Never couchsurf just for saving money, the spirit of couchsurfing is to share & to learn from the culture of different people」I think she loves the couchsurfing experience so much.It's so perfect!!
It's perfect!! I love cultural difference too!! Actually this is the first request I have sent and the only one I sent in Uruguay. (I am the very new member and have NO reference) but I made it! I think if you write your request with your heart and be sincere the host would feel it.
It's my strength to be sincere and to trust. But the drawback is I sometimes was cheated like what has happened in Greece. But everyone in the world is not perfect. I just do what I think is right and It's ME!
Cultural thing.
Grace said, when she has a guest coming to her house, normally they would kiss each other cheek but I didn't. Because as a chinese we never do that when we are meeting up with friends not even to our family. I asked would it be impolite to not doing that. She said it would be okay and we are different.
It's about body language is different over the world. Body language is a big topic. Firstly, body language is so important that it may convey more message than your words.
Reference from wiki:
「 Albert Mehrabian is noted for finding a 7%-38%-55% rule, supposedly denoting how much communication was conferred by words, tone, and body language」
And in different culture, same body gesture can tell completely different story with different perception.
For example, when seeing two people kissing each other cheek.
South america's perception : 「They can be soul mate or someone they first time met」
Our perception:「They must be very close and very certain it is not their first time meeting up」
One more example. I gave a picture of two men with hand holding one's arm for grace (please refer to the blog which is easier to understand)
Grace's perception: 「they very probably are guy」
My FIRST perception: 「Same with Grace」
But after meeting a Egyptian, I am sure it is just their sign to show friendship. So if same happened in Egypt
Egyptian's perception: 「they are just very close male friend」
So, for same body language, We have different perception to interprete what's going on.
I told Grace I have never ever kissed my mother. She was so surprised by that. Comparing with them we as a chinese tends less to express our feeling in gesture.
I remember after studied coaching and I have one thing I wanna do. It is to say "I love you" to my mother. I was 2009 February, I met my classmate named Ann, she is british about 30 something years old. She told me she had never said it to her mother too. But his husband mexican said that almost every day to his mother.
Ann and I both think It' s a very tough challenge to say "I love you" to our mother. So we support each other and after 7 months I did it. on 18 Sept 2009 I said it with a rose to my mother. I could say it is the biggest challenge I ever had.
According to 7 hibit of highly effective people. This is absolutely not Urgent & but very important. And it is getting harder and harder when getting older.
What's your choice? WAIT OR ACT? or wait until it's getting urgent?
It's all up to you~!

Roundup: Bookstags: feminism
One of the most persistent myths about the modern women's movement is that activists believed we could "have it all." On the contrary, we knew it was impossible. That is why we demanded universal child care for parents, paid parental leave for men and women, government-subsidized day care, on-site care for children, equal care of children and the home by men, and part-time jobs, health care and flexible work schedules for parents. These reforms were common in most European countries. In the United States, they challenged our deeply held belief in individual solutions.
So from where did the myth come that a woman could "have it all" without "doing it all"? Helen Gurley Brown's popular 1982 book, "Having It All," certainly popularized the idea that women could, in fact, have everything—a career, children, a husband and great sex. Even before her book appeared, however, magazines had begun offering advice to the new working mothers just entering the labor market. They prescribed how women should dress for success, assert their authority, flaunt their skills, reach for the glass ceiling, give their children "quality time" and end the day with the sexual passion of a woman who did none of the above. In short, women gained the impossible "goal" of becoming the perfect working mom. They could have it all, if they did it all.
This madness has hardly gone unnoticed. During the last 40 years, dozens of books have described and analyzed the impossibility of "having it all." Some of these books advise women to "lean in" and reach for the glass ceiling. Few address the sticky floor that keeps most women in low-paid, marginal jobs. At least once a decade, The New York Times Magazine features an article about women who have opted out of their careers....
