I sometimes get overwhelmed with only one wife, and only two children. I'm not sure I'm patriarch material. Even so, I should probably make absolutely sure.
The Move bundle itself - the single controller, the Playstation Eye, and the Sports Champions disc - is delivered in a very perfunctory way. I think I must be spoiled now by the standard Apple experience, where one comes to believe that it is Christmas and that you are opening a Present, but the Move was really kind of a flimsy box with some stuff inside that did little to reinforce the notion that this peripheral is the very yoke of the future. They also launched it the same day as Reach, which… I don't know. Maybe don't launch things then.
The demo disc, though, delivers a surprising amount of value. I'm not entirely sure why the demos need to install themselves onto your system, but there's a huge pile of experiences there for you to sift through as you wonder what to do with your mystical knob. If you've thus far neglected to install Beat Sketchers from your disc, either because you don't have any idea what that could possibly mean or you didn't know it was there to begin with, it's something you need to remedy. Among other things, it allows you to draw over the top of a live video feed, which means (among other things) that you can draw a hat right on top of your head. Any kind of hat you want. You may think that ain't such a much, but you'll see. Drawing on reality makes you feel like a Goddamn sorcerer.
I have probably seen the Bioshock Infinite trailer ten times already, and I may not be done watching it. Things I thought were the work of an errant codec the first few times… weren't. I wonder what else I'm missing.
Conversation about its status as a "rail shooter" or whether or not the piece actually represents gameplay abounds, but virtually from the first moment of the video it begins kicking you in the fucking teeth, just kicking you, over and over. On more than one occasion I thought, do these people know what they're doing? They have to know, because they're Irrational Games; but locking horns with concepts like racism and nativism and the deification of our founders simply isn't done on this tier of the industry. San Andreas shocked the nation because it allowed two consenting polygons to "have sex," or some facsimile thereof, but I strongly suspect that when a game dares to engage with our actual nation, it'll be crickets from hell to breakfast.

Full Episode Nov. 21: East Midtown, O+ Festival, Making Masterpiece
November 20, 2013 at 11:59 am
This edition of MetroFocus features a look at one of the most contested rezoning projects facing New York City. Mayor Michael Bloomberg withdrew his proposals for the densely packed East Midtown neighborhood and now Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio will have to decide whether or not to tackle the controversial plans.
Laura Kusisto, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal tells host Rafael Pi Roman "The real estate community did pretty well under Bloomberg, he pushed through a lot of re-zonings that had opposition in the community but were good at generating real estate development, economic activity and I think there was sort of a message that we the community, we the city council are going to drive a harder bargain in the future."
The upstate New York town of Kingston has created a unique way to provide health care for artists. Albany Public TV's Innovation Trail reporter Jenna Flanagan reports on the O+ Festival where artists trade their talents and artwork for medical care.
The New York Times video reporter Erik Olsen heads out to sea with scientists from Rutgers University who are launching a worldwide ocean research project using underwater drones. The drones are already sending back new data about temperatures and currents that could help predict and understand violent storms like typhoon Haiyan.
How do you make a masterpiece? Rebecca Eaton, executive producer of the long-running hit series Masterpiece on PBS tells Pi Roman the inside story just as Downton Abbey is about to begin its fourth hit season. Among other stories from her new memoir, "Making Masterpiece", Eaton admits she initially turned down Downton Abbey but tells Pi Roman, "I must be the luckiest woman in show business because it went around the circle of other American television executives to co-produce and nobody picked it up."
And for the first time ever New Jersey evergreen trees will grace the White House this Christmas season. The Star-Ledger video reporter Andre Malok introduces us to seventh-generation New Jersey growers at the Wyckoff's Christmas Tree Farm as White House officials make the visit to select this year's winners.

Hoover Dam is a concrete dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. When completed in 1936, it was both the world's largest electric-power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure.
This dam, located 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction. Construction began in 1931, and was completed in 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985. Lake Mead is the reservoir created by the dam, named after Elwood Mead, who oversaw the construction of the dam.

Red Quinoa Black Bean Lettuce Wraps
If my little garden was any bigger than it is now, I would be in a heap of trouble. I try my best to plant vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and chard in various stages so they all don't mature at once. It's called succession planting. Succession planting is a method of utilizing space and time. No matter how much effort that I put into planning my garden it seems like there are times when certain vegetables really get away from me. Today, my problem is lettuce. And I sure do have lots of it…
The problem with lettuce is that you can generally only eat it fresh. You can't freeze it. And, you can't can it. I guess technically, you could, but why? And once the warm weather hits, it bolts. And once it bolts, it's bitter. Fortunately, what I don't use, I give away to family, friends and coworkers.
Today, I went out and picked a bunch of romaine lettuce, red radishes and parsley from my garden for my Quinoa Black Bean Lettuce Wraps. My Quinoa Black Bean Lettuce Wraps are easy to make, fresh tasting and vegan too. The lettuce wraps are made with cooked Red Quinoa, black beans, chopped red onions, little grape tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, radishes, with a bright tasting red wine vinaigrette wrapped up in a lettuce leaf. It's a great side dish or by itself for light lunch or dinner. I'm thinking that these also would make interesting appetizers to serve at my next backyard barbeque. Makes about 16 wraps. Enjoy! Tessa
- 1/2 cup red quinoa (picked over and rinsed well)
- 1 cup water
- 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes (I used red grape)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/3 cup roasted red bell pepper (diced)
- juice of one lime
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 1/2 Tbs red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 Tbs maple syrup
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1/2 tsp seasoning salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper or to taste
- 16 lettuce leaves (I used young romaine, but bibb lettuce is probably best)
- Garnish with lime wedges, thin sliced radishes and sprigs of parsley
Begin by cooking your quinoa and water in a covered saucepan on medium low for about 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool completely. In a medium bowl add quinoa, black beans, onion, tomato, cilantro, parsley and roasted red bell pepper. Mix well. In a separate bowl whisk together the lime juice, coriander, cumin, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, salt and pepper. Taste and correct your seasonings. Add vinaigrette to quinoa mixture. Mix well to coat. Chill for about a half an hour and serve spooned on top of lettuce leaves. Garnish with lime wedges, thinly sliced radishes and fresh picked parsley. Makes about 16 lettuce wraps.

Bora-Bora seduces couples with visions of overwater bungalows above a turquoise lagoon. But that's not all: the island offers coral reefs and, should you need backup, the St. Regis romance concierge (duties have included spelling "Marry Me" in coconut husks on the beach).
The Tahitian island has certainly captured the hearts of Travel + Leisure readers, who voted Bora-Bora the No. 1 island for romance, a new category in this year's World's Best Awards survey. Spin the globe, and you're bound to land by one of the top romantic islands. From the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, they share the powerful ingredient of fantasy. There's nothing like escaping to an island with your loved one to bring out starry eyes in the most jaded traveler.

Consider the Hawaiian island of Kauai, whose dramatic scenery—primeval rainforest, photo-ready waterfalls—has enough film credits to rival those of an A-list actor, including The Descendants, Avatar, and the steamy noir Body Heat.
"People see an island on screen, and they want that fantasy," says Worldview Travel's Adam Rog, citing the influence of movies and books on romantic getaways. Celebrities also raise an island's profile, as is true of St. Bart's, a white-sand favorite in the French West Indies, and Mustique, part of the Grenadines, a Caribbean island chain where Mick Jagger owns a villa.
And the secret is out about the more accessible Puerto Rican island of Vieques (No. 9), with a significant National Wildlife refuge—protecting sea turtles, lagoons, and mangroves—and a dreamy bioluminescent bay. The eco mind-set carries through at the intimate Hix Island House, which recently opened its solar-powered six-room Casa Solaris.
Even couples who get antsy after an hour at the beach or recoil from outdoor adventures can find plenty of diversions on islands like Santorini (No. 3), where there are extraordinary wines to taste and archaeological sites to explore. As ever with romance, a little mystery goes a long way.
Discover the getaway escape that's right for you two castaways among these top islands for romance. —Christine Ciarmello

Bonac Golfers Feted
The best golf team in East Hampton High School history was feted by the officers of the South Fork Country Club one evening recently as the sun was beginning to set beyond the back nine.
South Fork has been the Bonackers' home course for years now, and Alex Walter, the Amagansett club's president, told the gathering of players, parents, and club directors, including John Keeshan, John Claflin, Pat Bistrian, Jim McMullan, Larry Cantwell, and Tom Maas, the club's general manager, that he had never heard a complaint concerning the young golfers' conduct, only compliments.
What this year's team — a good one made great by the reappearance here last summer of Zach Grossman, who had spent three years in Charleston, S.C. — had done was, said Walter, "unprecedented."
Claude Beudert, who has coached the sport for the past 25 years, had to agree. And the team, said Walter, who couldn't resist a little ribbing, had done it "despite their coach." He could only conclude that the parents deserved the credit.
Again, Beudert said, he had to agree.
To recapitulate: Bonac's team went 10-0 in league play, 12-0 over all, won Suffolk County and Long Island championships, each for the first time, shot a record 187 (a 37.4 average per player) in the home match with Pierson, won the conference's sportsmanship award, and was an all-state academic team with a 93 average.
Moreover, in the past five years the team (without Grossman in three of them) posted a record of 52-4, and won the League VIII title in all five of those years. Beudert-coached teams now have won league championships in 12 of the past 13 years.
"It doesn't get any better than that," said Walter. "We're so very proud of you — you are what they're talking about when they say 'student-athlete.' You've represented our club so well. You're always going to remember this."
Winning the county and Long Island championships was all the more remarkable inasmuch as those tournaments are played in the spring while East Hampton's golf season, unlike the UpIsland schools, is in the fall. Obviously, the long layover didn't hurt, even though a number of the golfers played other sports in the interim.
Ian Lynch, a sophomore who made all-state (as did Grossman), worked on his game pretty much exclusively. Grossman was on the varsity boys basketball team in the winter and worked on his golf game in the spring, deciding ultimately not to play tennis as he had originally planned. Cameron Yusko, John Pizzo, and Jim McMullan played baseball in the spring and John Nolan played lacrosse.
Zach's father, Jon, said that his son's short game had benefited greatly from the fact that "within 100 yards of the greens South Fork is tougher than any course I know." When he wanted length, Zach worked out at Montauk Downs.
When the fall season began, Beudert said he wasn't sure whether the team would be able to play at South Fork given the fact that the front nine, on which East Hampton's teams have played for years, had been made off limits so that a disease that had hit the poa grass greens could be treated.
The back nine greens, which are of bent grass, were unaffected.
Walter said there never had been a question as to whether the team, which was to share the back nine with the members in the fall, would stay.
When it came his turn, Beudert said Grossman had, as aforesaid, made a good team great, and had led by example; that Nolan had been a winner all five years; that Lynch and Yusko, a three-sport athlete used to the demands of competition, would lead the team next year, and that Pizzo and McMullan, the best five and six you could want, had added to the team's depth.
Grossman and Lynch wound up on the all-state team; Yusko made all-conference, and Nolan all-league.
In the fall, Grossman is to matriculate at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Nolan will enter Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, where he's expected to play lacrosse. "Though he could play golf if he wanted," said his coach.
Before parting, Zach Grossman gave Walter a plaque with a photo of the team and its accomplishments. The club, in turn, gave the players goodie bags with hats, shirts, and balls.

Subscribe To Lake Bell And Simon Pegg Team Up For Rom-Com Man Up Updates
I've already subscribed
When two actors I really like get together to make a movie, it's supposed to make me happy - but the worry starts to sink in when that movie's plot sounds like the most generic thing since sliced bread. Such is the case with Studio Canal and Big Talk Productions' Man Up, a romantic comedy that will team actress/director Lake Bell with Brit comedy god Simon Pegg. Neither of these actors has been in a really good rom-com in their careers, but there are a few reasons to think this film will change that.
For one, Bell and Pegg are both excellent comic actors, so it'll be great seeing them play off of each other rather than someone more Hollywood being thrown in there. Secondly, the Tess Morris-penned script was featured on the 2011 Brit List, the U.K. version of the Black List (it will be Morris' first feature though, so we have nothing to compare it to), Thirdly, it will be helmed by Ben Palmer, best known for having directed quite a few episodes of the hilarious BBC comedy The Inbetweeners, as well as the almost-as-hilarious The Inbetweeners Movie in 2011.
With all those great pieces in place, I certainly wish Deadline's description of the film made it sound a little better. Bell will play Nancy, a single woman on her way to her parents' house for their anniversary when she gets mistaken for a stranger's blind date, which of course leads her to finding the perfect boyfriend - whom we'll assume will be played by Pegg. Sure, there is a lot of room for madcap zaniness to ensue, and I'm probably just being a mope for hating on a logline. I'll try and kindle some faith on this one in the upcoming months.
Bell is coming off of her directorial debut In a World, which won her the Waldo Salt screenwriting award at Sundance earlier this year, and a stellar fourth season of Adult Swim's Childrens Hospital, for which she directed a handful of episodes. She's currently filming John Erick Dowdle's thriller The Coup with Owen Wilson, and recently wrapped Craig Gillespie's sports drama Million Dollar Arm with John Hamm. She'll also be heard in the upcoming comedy Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
Pegg, who rocked fanboys' worlds this summer with both The World's End and Star Trek Into Darkness, recently finished two non-comedies: Kriv Stenders' Australian thriller Kill Me Three Times and Peter Chelsom's drama Hector and the Search for Happiness.
Have you guys seen In a World yet? If not you might want to after watching the trailer below.

• isocusb-driver-setup-1.2.0.exe
The malicious code also infects files on the following path:• c:\ufi\drivers\android\intel\
The following are methods commonly used by malicious code in order to confuse users:
For example, one of the most common system file names is: explorer.exe, and under normal circumstances, the system only has an explorer.exe process. When you open the Task Manager and find that there are two or more explorer.exe processes, it is likely the camouflage of some malicious viruses. As shown in the following figure, there are two explorer.exe processes in Task Manager.
When I find the path where the file is located, it will be clear that the real explorer.exe system file is located under "C:\ Windows\", and the malicious file that pretends to be system process is under the other path.
It is a simple and effective way to determine whether a file is a malicious file by a hash value, which has lower false detection rate than the "static signature" method. So, if the MD5 value of a file on the computer is the same as the MD5 value listed below, then it is sure that the file is a malicious file.This is my analysis results to the code of each malicious below, mainly provided to industry professionals who engage in the maintenance of computer security. If you are interested, you can also have a view, but it may require certain computer knowledge.
Method 1: Manual Removal
• Reboot the system and then enter safe mode (Click here to see how each Windows version (XP/Vista/7/8/10) goes into safe mode)
• Open Task Manager and if isocusb-driver-setup-1.2.0.exe is running, end this program.
• Show all hidden files.
Step: "My Computer" -> "Floder Options" ->"View" -> "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
• Malicious code used to generate or infect files on the following paths, so you need to one by one go into the following path, and delete all files [ isocusb-driver-setup-1.2.0.exe ]
• Finally, restart your computer.
Method 2: Automatic Removal Using Tools (Recommended)
1. Download Removal Tool
2. Save it into your computer and install it step by step.
3. During the installation process, the user interface is available in multiple languages and is easy to use.
4. The installation process is an online installation, so after the installation is complete, the software version and virus database are up-to-date.
5. After the installation is complete, run the antivirus software and click the "Scan Computer Now!" button to scan the whole system.
6. Tick "Select all" and then Remove to delete all threats. Reboot your computer.
If you don't know if isocusb-driver-setup-1.2.0.exe is infected with malicious code on your computer, you may also use online scan tool.
How do I use the T21 engine for online scanning?
T21 can detect unknown files online, mainly using "behavior-based" judgment mechanism. It is very simple to use T21.1. Click the "Upload File" button, select the file you want to detect, and then click "Submit".
• If you suspect that there are malicious files on your computer, but you cannot find where they are, or if you want to make a thorough check on your computer, you can download the automatic scanning tool. click here to view the introduction of T21. You can also go to the home page to read the original intention and philosophy of my development of T21 system.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won the Rogers Cup on Sunday, beating second-seeded Roger Federer 7-5, 7-6 (3) for his fourth straight win over a higher-seeded opponent.
The 13th-seeded Frenchman won his first ATP Tour title of the season and 11th overall. He beat top-ranked Novak Djokovic on Thursday, eighth-seeded Andy Murray on Friday and seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov on Saturday.
Tsonga improved to 5-11 against Federer, who dropped to 2-5 in finals this season, with his victories coming in Dubai and Halle.
The Swiss star made several uncharacteristic errors and had a hard time with Tsonga's powerful serve and ground strokes.
With Tsonga serving at 5-5 in the first set, Federer showed his skills at the net with a drop shot that Tsonga could not retrieve. The Frenchman held to put the pressure back on Federer.
Federer sprayed two shots long to fall behind 30-15 in the final game. He pulled even with a winner, but was wide with a groundstroke that was unsuccessfully challenged, setting up the first break point opportunity of the set.
Federer launched a ball well long to give Tsonga the opening set in 44 minutes.
Tsonga had a great chance with a 4-3 lead in the second set and a double-break point. However, Federer answered with two straight points to get to deuce. Tsonga had two more break point chances, but Federer saved them both and then held with an ace.
In the tiebreaker, Tsonga picked up a mini-break at 4-3 and took the next three points for the victory.
WTA Tour
Agnieszka Radwanska beat Venus Williams 6-4, 6-2 to win the Rogers Cup title in Montreal.
The third-seeded Radwanska, the first Rogers Cup champion from Poland, picked up her first tournament victory of the year and the $441,000 winner's prize. The 34-year-old Williams earned $220,000.
The 25-year-old Radwanska used her relentless baseline game to dominate a tired-looking Williams, who was coming off an emotional, three-set victory over her top-ranked sister Serena Williams in a semifinal on Saturday.
Radwanska, ranked fifth in the world to Williams' 26th, posted her first Rogers Cup win after twice reaching the semifinals.

3 people found dead at Fort Hood, including two children
Fort Hood officials said Tuesday they had found the bodies of a man and two children in a residence on the post.
Agents with the Army's Criminal Investigation Command were investigating the deaths, but neither officials there nor others on Fort Hood would discuss the incident.
The post, in a brief news release, said the bodies were found at about 7:15 a.m. Tuesday.
A spokesman for the post, Tyler Broadway, said he could not provide information about the case. He referred the San Antonio Express-News to the CID office in Washington.
Fort Hood said information was being withheld "to protect the integrity of the investigation."
The post also said more information about the case could be released after the victims' relatives had been notified.
A CID spokesman, Christopher Grey, said the dead were "military family members" and that an investigation was continuing.
"We do not believe there is any further threat to the community at this time," he added.

After playing two softball games, including one nine-inning one, the Lady Bisons were feeling the fatigue of exposure Saturday to a heat index that was near 100.
They will be facing more of the same Sunday afternoon at 1:30 when they meet Alabama, the top seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional. Bright sunshine and temperatures hovering in the high 90s are expected. The winner advances to the Super Regional round.
Free videostreaming is available at rolltide.com. Audio streaming can be heard at lipscombsports.com.
"Lady Bisons softball trainer Elizabeth Jurenko has spent much of her time reminding the players to make sure they are drinking both water and sports drinks as much as possible to combat the effects of the heat.
"We've got to rehydrate them and make sure they get some rest," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "Obviously, that was a big key in this game and the entire day.
"It was a warm, humid day. Keeping them hydrated going into Sunday is going to be huge."
The Lady Bisons lost 5-2 to the Crimson Tide, to start the day Saturday. They eliminated UAB from the tournament with a 7-6, nine-inning win to close out the day. UAB eliminated Alcorn State Saturday before playing the Lady Bisons.
"We won the game against UAB and we are playing on Sunday in our very first Regional," Ryman said. "I was talking to some of our parents and we talked about those two big positives.
"The third positive is all of the experience our freshmen, sophomores and juniors are getting this year by being in a big game atmosphere."
Ryman expects her Lady Bisons to come out and give the same top effort they have given each game this season on the way to a school program record 50 wins.
"We are definitely going to come out and give it everything we've got," Ryman said. "These girls are not unrealistic, but at the same time they are not going to down without a fight. We are not going to roll over.
"We have invested entirely too much in this season to come out and not give it everything we've got and then see what happens. We are going against the No. 1 team in the nation. We have absolutely nothing to lose."
Mental errors and physical errors early in the Alabama game Saturday were problems. Ryman is hopeful that her players will not be as nervous this time around.
"We can't make the little mistakes, whether they are mental or actual errors, against a top-ranked team and expect to come out on top," Ryman said. "We are going to try to stay relaxed and composed, play our game and try to execute the little things."
Ryman knows that fatigue is going to be a factor. Alabama only had to play one game Saturday. If the Lady Bisons win the first game there will be a second game at 4 to decide the title.
The rigors of the tournament may also force an adjustment in Ryman's plans for her pitchers. Kiihnl threw 261 pitches, 169 of them strikes, in 12.2 innings Saturday. In three tournament games, through 19.2 innings, she has thrown 378 pitches, 251 for strikes.
Ryman said that Kiihnl, Alaina Jacobson and Christen Campbell could all see time on the mound against Alabama.
"We're going to have to be realistic about it," Ryman said. "We will use Whitney, but I don't know if it will be in a starting role. "If it is we'll see how much she has in the tank and go as long as possible. We may use her in a relief role and get some good innings out of someone else."
The Lady Bisons are 50-12. Alabama is 50-9.

18 Quick, Easy & Interesting Breakfasts
Oh, breakfast. We know you're the most important meal of the day, yet it's so hard to make time for you. Most people don't have time to chop up all the veggies for a tofu scramble or whip up some pancakes or put together an elaborate breakfast casserole. Instead, we go for yogurt, cold cereal, toast, a piece of fruit, or even nothing at all. And while the those are perfectly fine breakfast options (save for the skipping it all together one, of course!), they sure do get old after awhile.

(p -7),
(p 'abc), and
(p nil) are all
established by the Base Case.
(p '(Friday)) follows from
(p nil),
given the Induction Step. That sentence bears thinking about! Think about

The main purpose of Anabolic Innovations Glycobol is to increase insulin levels, resulting in muscle growth and strength increases.
Product Claims vs. Personal Results
- Promotes muscle mass, strength and endurance. This product worked very well in the strength and endurance area.
- Encourages fat loss. I did indeed lose 2 inches off my waist even when on a bulking diet
- Improves recovery time by rapid glycogen resynthesis. I had more endurance in the gym, especially in the later sets.
- Provides lasting "pump", hardness and vascularity. Very, very good in this area. This has a very nice effect on muscle fullness.
- Drives amino acid and creatine uptake into muscle. I stacked this with Kre-Alkalyn and it did seem to work better than last time.
- Increases muscle protein synthesis and inhibits breakdown. I had noticeable size gains.
- Maximizes nutrient utilization. This is tough to tell without a lab test, but I felt like I utilized everything I ate.
- Potent synergism with endogenous endocrine hormones. Once again, this is hard to tell without lab testing.
Strength: The Strength aspect of this product is pretty real. I noticed an increase in competition weights almost immediately upon dosing with my Pre-Workout meal of steel cut oats and scoop of whey. I took 2 caps 90-120 minutes before working out with approx. 50-75G CHO 4-5 times a week.
Endurance: When dosing and partaking in cardio following my one hour weight lifting session, I felt everything was "easier", had more energy to go longer and recovered better.
Bloating: Usually when I eat high amounts of carbs on a bulk, I get a bloated feeling. With Glycobol, you will not experience consistent bloating. There were some occasions where I did feel bloating but overall this was nonexistent.
Pumps: The food pump you receive from this is pretty nice not to mention taking it Pre-Workout. I would go between 2 caps each larger meal twice a day on workout days and 1 cap on non workout days.
Leaning: This is where Glycobol shines the most. I started this cycle with a 33.5 inch waist and after 30 days I was down to a 31.5 inch waist!! I did not think that would be possible while gaining 5 lbs of lean mass but it is, especially on a bulk.
I'd definitely recommend Glycobol for a Recomp, Bulk or Cut. I think it would even be beneficial for a Post Cycle Therapy due to the antioxidant properties and the strength aspects. I will definitely be picking up a couple of bottles for future use. There isn't any noticeable fat gain, only muscle, which is a pleasant surprise with the high amount of carbs that you eat with it.
VALUE: 9.3 (I felt that it was priced very well for a product this effective)
EFFECTIVENESS: 9.6 (True, are large part of any supplement is a great diet, but gaining 5 lbs with a non hormonal product in a little over a month is an A+ in my book)
OVERALL: 9.5 (I was very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone that is looking to add lean mass or recomp)

Edward and Anja will once again be co-teaching "Let Movies Inspire Your Photography" at ICP (International Center of Photography), running Thursday evenings from 6:30-9:30, March 3 through March 31, 2016. We'll view and discuss film clips from a wide range of movies and make a comparative analysis to inspire your photography, with assignments given each week.

Anja will be showing new work in "vollschlank," a solo exhibition as part of Vienna's biennial photography festival, "eyes on: Monat der Fotografie".
The show is in an unusual location: a dentist office in Vienna's first district! Dr. Hollmann & Dr. Lhotka regularly work with galleries and individual artists to present exhibitions in their offices so that they and their patients have a variety of art to enjoy. It's the perfect venue to show these photographs of sugary sweets and other food-related themes.
The opening is Thursday, November 13, 2014, at 7pm, with an introduction by Christof Stein, at Dr. Hollmann & Dr. Lhotka OG (Köllnerhofgasse 6, 1010 Wien). The exhibition will run November 14 – February 28, 2015, Mondays–Thursdays, 9am – 6pm.
Strudelmedia's latest music release is Act Necessary, the debut CD of Andy Biskin's new quartet, Ibid. Mashing up everything from polkas and New Orleans jazz to funk and Tin Pan Alley, Biskin shoehorns sophisticated compositional elements into epic miniature tunes. His all-star quartet, featuring cornetist Kirk Knuffke, trombonist Brian Drye, and drummer Jeff Davis, handles each musical hairpin turn with infectious enthusiasm and deep insight into the music's many subtleties. It's available now at the strudelmedia store.
Anja gave a lecture about storytelling to students in the Open Arts Program at Tisch School of the Arts at New York University (NYU) in September 2014.
Anja was selected to be part of the exhibition "Summer Open" at Aperture Gallery in New York, curated by Aperture's executive director Chris Boot. Exhibition dates: July 17 through August, 2014.
A slideshow of Anja's photography series "Chinese Fast Food" was presented at the "25th Couleur Cafe Festival" in Brussels, June 27-29, 2014.
The group show "mitgebracht," travelled from "Galerie im Traklhaus," Salzburg to galleries in Croatia, Albania, Taiwan, and recently to the "Cité Internationale des Arts" in Paris (June 17-28, 2014)
Anja was part of an exciting group show at "Galerie im Traklhaus," Salzburg Austria, which also travelled to "Künstlerhaus Palais Thurn & Taxis," Bregenz, in the spring of 2013, for which a catalogue was published. The other artists featured were Petra Buchegger, Annja Krautgasser and Silke Maier-Gamauf.
"Chinese Fast Food" was presented at the following art fairs in 2013: "Pulse Miami Contemporary Art Fair," Miami (with Michael Steinberg Fine Arts); "Artfair Köln," Cologne; "Art Market Budapest," Budapest (both with Galerie Reinthaler)

I'm glad this is still alive. I liked the idea and making it multiplatform is great. Try to focus on smaller platforms, so that you don't run into platform limitation issues, then move on to other platforms one at a time
Will you limit speed to make easy cross platform development possible, or will heavy programs not be able to run on slower platforms?
Nice! I can't wait to try it out, will it by chance be compatible with the HP Prime ?

OCC Issues Guidance on Gift Cards
WASHINGTON – The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency today issued guidance on disclosure and marketing issues associated with gift cards. The guidance focuses on the need for national banks that issue gift cards to do so in a manner in which both purchasers and recipients are fully informed of the product's terms and conditions.
"The gift card market is growing rapidly, and the terms and conditions of various cards can vary widely," said Comptroller of the Currency John C. Dugan. "It's very important that national banks engaged in this business adopt robust disclosure policies so that consumers understand what they are getting when they buy or receive a gift card."
Gift cards present special challenges because disclosures to a purchaser may not be adequate for a gift card recipient. The OCC expects national banks that issue gift cards not only to inform purchasers about material terms and conditions, but to take appropriate steps so that critical information is likely to be available to recipients as well.
Basic information that is most essential to a gift card recipient's decisions about when and how to use the card should be provided on the gift card itself, or on a sticker or tape affixed to the gift card. Disclosures should generally tell consumers:
In addition, since the user of the gift card is generally not the person who purchased the product, issuers should provide information for card recipients and encourage purchasers to pass it on. These disclosures could be carried in promotional packaging or inserted into an accompanying sleeve and include such information as the name of the issuing bank, any fees that may apply and what to do if the card is lost or stolen.
The OCC's new guidance also advises national banks to avoid practices that could be misleading to consumers. For example, issuers should not advertise a gift card with "no expiration date" if monthly service or maintenance fees, dormancy fees or similar charges can consume the card balance. Similarly, if fees may consume the card balance before the stated expiration date, disclosures related to that expiration date should explain that possibility. Issuers should also avoid describing gift cards as if they are gift certificates or other payment instruments more familiar to consumers, or as products that carry federal deposit insurance.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead attended AA meetings for movie role
Actress MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD went incognito to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for her role as a booze-loving teacher in new movie SMASHED.
Winstead's party-loving character embarks on a path of sobriety in the film, and she prepared for the job by spending months attending real group sessions.
However, she insisted on being discreet and never told anyone about her job as an actress.
She tells The Guardian, "I came into it very quietly: I didn't say I was an actor. If they asked me to speak, I'd tell them I had come to learn about AA. I never pretended to be anything I wasn't. But I also didn't want to stand up and say: 'Hey guys - I'm making a movie! Anyone wanna tell me their story?'"
Winstead embraced the role in the movie, which also stars Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul, and adds, "I really didn't have any fear about the humiliation factor. That was something I was excited to get the opportunity to explore. My fears were about pulling it off."

During her Monday evening talk in Salter Hall, writer/activist Terry Tempest Williams asked Wabash students, "How many of you know personally someone who is currently serving in Iraq?"
Williams scanned the audience as dozens of hands went up.
"This is profound," she said. "Iraq is your generation's war. The question is, 'How will you serve?'"
In a gentle yet powerful voice, Williams offered examples of environmental and political issues where such attention and service is needed. She urged Wabash students to engage those issues, debate them, listen to the points of view of others, and to find common ground to change what needs to be changed—"to question, to stand, to speak, and to act." "We are asleep in this country," she said. "We need to wake up and take our stand in the open space of democracy."
She defined that open space Monday night through stories.
Williams described the Castle Rock Collaboration, in which residents with contrasting political and religious beliefs from Castle Valley, Utah have come together to protect, purchase, and manage open lands adjacent to the town.
"Each of us registered what our gifts were, and brought those talents to serve the group," Williams explained, noting that the fledgling organization was able to raise $2 million to purchase land that was being sold to developers. "Communities can band together around a common cause, but we have to listen; we have to learn from each other."
Williams recalled an incident at Florida Gulf Coast University, where an invitation she'd received to speak on campus was suddenly withdrawn two weeks before the Presidential Election of 2004. A large group of students, from Young Republicans to the Young Democrats and others, protested the college's decision and invited her to speak off-campus. The controversy exploded when Vice President Dick Cheney was asked to speak there, and student intervention resulted in both Cheney and Williams presenting their views and sitting together at a convocation.
"Student action led to a new policy," Williams said. "They demonstrated the singular beauty of one true voice—this is what the open space of democracy looks like."
Describing the 2003 march of thousands to the White House to protest the invasion of Iraq, Williams described the police barricades at the entrance to Lafayette Square, a public park across from the White House.
"Rachel Bagby, an African American woman, walked to where an African American policeman was standing in line, and she began to sing," Williams recalled. "With tears in his eyes, the officer stepped back, and that was our passage through to the White House. That is what the open space of democracy looks like."
During the question and answer session, senior Tim Flowers asked the author if her mind had ever been changed by the passionate exchanges of opposing view she advocates.
"I think I've changed my views on wilderness," Williams said. "I've been too narrow there."
"We are a nation at war with ourselves," Williams lamented, quoting the late Arizona Congressman Morris Udall.
"He used to pride himself on being a member of Congress, a place where members were 'free to disagree, had the capacity to listen, and the obligation to grow.' I wonder if we've lost that."

LEVITRA gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Tuesday night, Keokuk looks for a fourth trip to the tournament in seven years against Benton. As much as I'd like to see any of them get there, I could also see none, LEVITRA FOR SALE. All three are playing higher-ranked opponents, buy cheap LEVITRA no rx, but if I was guessing, LEVITRA dose, I would say the 1A regional final will be the most competitive. I think this is a game the Nikes can get if they play their most complete game of the year, and nothing less, LEVITRA coupon. On the other hand, Online buy LEVITRA without a prescription, Central Lee and Keokuk both surprised me by getting this far. But if you look at the BC Moore computer predictions (I don't trust them entirely because you still have to play the game), Lynnville-Sully is favored by eight over Notre Dame; Bellevue is favored by nine over Central Lee and Benton is favored by 16 over Keokuk, purchase LEVITRA online. LEVITRA FOR SALE, By this time Sunday, we'll know if any 1A or 2A teams are playing in the boys state tournament. Seriously, LEVITRA price, coupon, does anyone really see Danville being challenged the rest of the way. The Bears are on a completely other level right now. The district final against No, doses LEVITRA work. 6 Keota will be the closest game, LEVITRA price, and I'm not sure how close that will be. If the game was played right now, Danville would be favored by 19, LEVITRA FOR SALE.
• Fear the Chiefs. As I wrote in my 3A capsule for Monday's paper, Keokuk could be a real sleeper in the boys substate, LEVITRA maximum dosage. I do think Mount Pleasant is the favorite, Cheap LEVITRA no rx, but I am also very high on Keokuk right now. They've played well down the stretch and battled Mount Pleasant to a 10-point game, and few teams do that, online LEVITRA without a prescription. Keokuk's 3-point shooting will make or break this team — they made 10 in the second meeting against the Panthers. LEVITRA FOR SALE, The good news about that game for Mount Pleasant is that Keokuk still lost by 10, even though it made 71 percent of its threes. LEVITRA brand name, • It's time for the SEI Superconference to rethink its scheduling. I know I'm not the only media member in the area who believes the league plays too many divisional games. The last two years, on the girls side, LEVITRA online cod, the South Division played 16 games, LEVITRA use, the North 18. It was 18 and 18 for the boys divisions. Out of a 21-game regular-season, LEVITRA recreational, which Iowa allows, LEVITRA alternatives, this is unfair. When you have top-heavy divisions, what do 10 to 12 games against average to terrible teams do for anyone, LEVITRA FOR SALE. Because of such a bulk of the season relegated to divisional play, teams have little opportunity to schedule opponents that will actually make their teams better, ordering LEVITRA online. It ends up being one of the reasons why teams don't get to the state tournament, LEVITRA for sale, in my opinion. Obviously there are other factors, but this is a big one, australia, uk, us, usa.
I wish the league would take a look at going to a home-and-home every other year, LEVITRA class, so the division slate would be eight or nine games a year and not bogged down by divisional games, and this way, you'd only have to face those teams once. LEVITRA FOR SALE, I mean, would it really be a bad thing if Mediapolis and Mount Pleasant girls played twice in the non-conference season, or Notre Dame played Keokuk twice. Or if Washington was on the non-conference schedule for someone. The smaller schools might lose by 25, but they'd be better for it in February.
I still like the SEI Shootout concept. For the most part, it provides good, competitive matchups.
• Monday: Class 1A regional final at Ottumwa (Notre Dame vs. Lynnville-Sully)
• Tuesday: Class 2A district final at Fairfield (Van Buren vs. Mediapolis)
• Thursday: Class 1A district final at Burlington (Keota/Sigourney winner vs. Holy Trinity/Danville winner)
• Saturday: Class 1A substate final at Ottumwa.

"Inception" is an amazing experience — a challenge for both brain and eye, as images fold upon each other like origami and defy gravity, time and space.
Dom (Leonardo DiCaprio) developed a method to extract secrets from people's minds by entering their dreams. He and his team (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy) are highly sought-after for corporate espionage. A client (Ken Watanabe) hires them for a unique assignment: to plant an idea in a competitor's mind that will become reality, or an "inception."
Dom, harboring secrets of his own, brings in a dream "architect" (Ellen Page) who also serves as narrator to help the audience understand what's happening.
And there's a lot going on. What follows cannot quite be defined and, much like our own dreams, our grasp of what takes place is fleeting.
Director/writer Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "The Dark Knight") has created another unique film with echoes of "2001," "The Matrix" and the James Bond series.
Although there's a love story at its core, "Inception" is curiously unemotional in spite of the excellent performances, including a haunting Marion Cotillard as Dom's wife. Yet it resonates, and for a brief moment at the finale, it seems to all make sense.
Like a good dream you want to revisit, I feel a need to see this movie again.
Lots of sorcery — not much magic
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is Jerry Bruckheimer's latest film powered by great special effects and not much else. Nicolas Cage is way too casual to be believable as Balthazar, an ancient sorcerer trained by the legendary Merlin. Young Jay Baruchel is way too weak and goofy to be credible as the apprentice wizard who is going to save the world from demonic forces.
His foolish personality and silly antics undermine the entire premise. Good thrillers create some feeling of tension and danger for the audience. You can't feel real tension when everything is played for laughs and all the action is completely predictable. Yet Jerry and his peers keep making these cookie-cutter fantasy films over and over again.
They all feature similar plot devices, characters and loud special effects. This one might as well be the next installment of "National Treasure" or "Prince of Persia." It has tons of comic-book action and crazy chase scenes we've all seen before. But second-rate acting, lame dialogue and a contrived plot will prevent this expensive effort from being the blockbuster Disney wanted. It might have some sorcery, but not nearly enough magic.

This is a remarkable civic project. It is an expression of opulence and experience of "going" to a theater for fine entertainment. Theaters today are sterile and missing the "experience". In my city there have been two similar projects...the Empire and Uptown theaters. For the most part the old buildings are demolished. There was one that should have been preserved...the Isis Theater.

"Palace Theatre marks 100th anniversary with $1-million restoration"
The newly renovated Los Angeles theatre pays homage to its history by replicating the original color scheme and featuring a live circus-burlesque show in late July.

The newly renovated Los Angeles theatre pays homage to its history by replicating the original color scheme and featuring a live circus-burlesque show in late July.

The crowds who filed into the Palace Theatre in downtown Los Angeles may have felt like they were stepping a century back in time.
The polished marble near the entrance gleamed, and the gold leaf around the giant pastoral murals that flank the theater's stage glistened. Eleven hundred brand-new red velvet seats awaited theatergoers there to watch Billy Wilder's 1950 classic, "Sunset Boulevard."
Sunday's three sold-out screenings marked the 100th anniversary of the venerable theater at 630 S. Broadway, which first opened its doors on June 26, 1911, as a vaudeville house.
They also showcased the $1-million restoration of the hall whose 40-foot stage has spotlighted entertainers ranging from Fred Astaire to Harry Houdini to Sarah Bernhardt.
The theater was called the Orpheum when it opened; it was renamed the Palace in 1926 when a larger Orpheum theater was built down the street.
"At first, we thought we would just do a little light renovation for its centennial," said Shahram Delijani, whose family owns the Palace and three other historic downtown theaters. "But then we decided to really restore it."
One part of the theater is different from the original, however: its third-level balcony.
When the theater opened, the upper "gallery" level was earmarked for non-white theatergoers. Reportedly designated "Negroes Only," it featured bench seating, had separate restrooms and could be reached only through an outside entrance. Historians have noted that such an arrangement was unusual in a city that, in those days, was more tolerant than other places.
Delijani said he has his own plans for the upper level.
"I'm going to flip it. I'm going to turn it into a VIP area," he said.
Craftsmen in charge of the theater renovation stripped away as many as seven layers of paint from walls and original hardwood wainscoting. They uncovered the hall's original wallpaper, and Delijani was able to replicate it, along with the original color scheme.
"Returning this to its original condition is a heartwarming experience," said Los Angeles artist Teale Hatheway, who restored a fireplace mantel in a hallway leading to a restroom area. "It's nice to be part of something that will be here for many years to come."
The theater was built well to begin with, added artist Debi Cable, who helped restore its marble work. "This building's bones are spectacular," Cable said.
Designed by architect G. Albert Lansburgh, the theater sported a Renaissance revival facade with decorative panels depicting the muses of vaudeville — music, song, dance and drama — created by Spanish sculptor Domingo Mora.
Its interior featured a French look, with garland-draped columns, hand-painted murals on the ceiling and a row of electric lights that outlined the balcony and called attention to its 1911 modernity.
Because it initially had no sound system, Lansburgh paid close attention to the theater's acoustics and seating arrangement; no seat is farther than 80 feet from the stage.
Lansburgh, who is said to have been influenced by a devastating Chicago fire, which killed more than 600 theatergoers in 1903, designed the Palace to have 22 fire escape exits and one of the city's first interior sprinkler systems.
During the theater's early years, vaudeville stars appearing on its stage included Al Jolson, W. C. Fields, the Marx Brothers and Will Rogers. After the live shows were moved to the new Orpheum theater in 1926, the Palace became a silent movie theater that screened newsreels and shorts. In the 1930s, it became a first-run movie house for features with sound.
Those familiar with the Palace describe its renovation as spectacular.
"When you came in here before the restoration, you didn't want to stay," theater expert Ed Kelseysaid. "There was a mildew smell, the seats were worn out, and paint was peeling."
Sunday's 100th anniversary event benefited the Los Angeles Conservancy, a preservation group that, for 25 years, has organized screenings in historic downtown theaters through its Last Remaining Seats program.
Seats were also featured at the theater's original 1911 opening, when they were "auctioned" as a fundraiser that benefited a Los Angeles organization called Associated Charities.
Delijani said regular programming at the Palace will begin July 28 with an appearance by the Lucent Dossier troupe, which will stage a live circus-burlesque show.
He said the Palace, along with the Los Angeles, State and Tower theaters, are his father's gift to the city. Developer Ezat Delijani is an immigrant from Iran who was forced out of his country by the 1970s revolution.
Now 34, Delijani said he grew up "running around and playing" in the ornate Los Angeles Theatre after his father saved it from the wrecking ball in the 1980s.
"My dad was so thankful to this country for taking us in," he said. "These four theaters are my Dad's legacy."

The Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, originally and commonly referred to as simply San Siro because of its location, is a football stadium located in the San Siro district in Milan, Italy. It is the home of Associazione Calcio Milan and Football Club Internazionale Milano. The stadium is named in honour of Giuseppe Meazza, the two-time World Cup winner (1934, 1938) who played for Internazionale, and briefly for Milan, in the 1930s and 1940s.
Italy's and perhaps the world's capital of fashion and design, Milano is home to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, which is possibly the world's oldest shopping mall. The city is currently undergoing an architectural renaissance, which will culminate in a new skyline for the Expo 2015, which will be hosted in Milano. Visitors can take advantage of an extensive public transportation system, which includes metro, buses, trolleys and trams.

1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup medium or long grain white rice
3″ cinnamon stick, plus an extra one for grating over the finished ice cream (optional)
4 or 5 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
pinch salt
1 cup heavy cream
In a dry, medium saucepan, toast the rice and cinnamon stick over medium heat until the rice is fragrant and barely golden, 1 – 2 minutes. Pour in the milk and heat until small bubbles appear around the sides of the pan, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, cover and steep for 30 minutes, or whenever you are ready to get on with the rest.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yolks, sugar, cinnamon and salt to combine. Pour the cream into a quart sized mason jar or metal bowl and set a fine mesh strainer over the top. Reheat the ricey milk until the small bubbles appear again, then slowly pour into the yolks, whisking constantly. Pour the whole deal back into the pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula, until the mixture just starts to thicken on the bottom of the pan (170º). Immediately strain into the cold cream, stirring to combine.
Refrigerate the ice cream base for at least four hours or up to a couple days. Spin in an ice cream maker until the ice cream reaches the consistency of a very thick milk shake. 'Cure' in the freezer for an hour or two to firm to a scoopable consistency. Grate a bit of cinnamon stick over the ice cream to serve, if desired.

Nothing makes our wallets happier and collectively sigh than saving big bucks on all these gadgets we must have. A few days ago we let you guys and gals know about the Nokia Purity Pro (BH-940) wireless headset discounted over $100 bucks. Unfortunately, at the time only the black and white colors were discounted. Red and white were stuck at the $349 price.
So which of those two is on sale? Guess and read on.
While we'd love if all four available colors were discounted, we'll take what we can get. Right now if you head on over to Amazon you'll see that the yellow variant of the headphones have dropped in price by $110.28 bringing the total to $238.72. Not bad at all, but poor Dan is kicking himself for ordering the white model two days ago when his favorite color is now available. Don't be like Dan and get yellow today.
Not sure if they're for you? Read our review and find out.
Thanks for the tip cae758!

My intern Siew Loon is back with yet another mouthwatering and decadent dessert recipe—Indonesia layer cake or kek lapis.
This is not a Nyonya recipe but the exotic taste and inviting aroma of kek lapis is legendary and one of my favorites, and Siew Loon and I wanted to share it with you. Check it out!
I can still remember vividly how my friends and I used to look forward to the sweet delicacies served during the Lunar New Year. Our favourite is the Kek Lapis or Indonesian Layer Cake.
As this is an expensive cake, we only get to eat it during very special occasion. As a passionate baker, I told myself that no matter what I must learn how to make Kek Lapis…
Kek Lapis is a very unique cake where spices are added in to give the sweet aroma smell. It is a very rich cake with very high contents of eggs and butter. Therefore, it is usually served in very small pieces.
Making Kek Lapis is a very tedious job but it is worth the hard work when you see the beautiful layers of the cake. More so when we see our friends and loved ones enjoying every bite of it.
Kek Lapis is not actually a Nyonya recipe, but a great baking recipe to share with Nyonya Food readers.

Former LA Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda was hospitalized Tuesday in New York after suffering a heart attack, the team confirmed to MLB.com.
Lasorda was in New York to attend the Major League Baseball draft. He became ill Monday night and was transported to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, according to MLB.com.
He was "resting comfortably" and might be released as early Wednesday.
Refresh this page for updates.
Lasorda, 84, took over as manager in 1976 and led the Dodgers to the World Series in 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1988, winning the title in 1981 and 1988. One of LA's most beloved sports figures, he retired as manager in 1996 and currently serves in an executive role with the team.
He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1997. His No. 2 uniform number was retired by the organization that same year.
In 2000, Lasorda was back in the dugout for the first time since his retirement to manage the United States Olympic team in Sydney. The team, considered an underdog, won gold just five days after Lasorda's 73rd birthday.
He returned to the Dodgers dugout during the team's final home game last season as the honorary manager on his 84th birthday.

A broad swath of the public might not even notice the partial shutdown of the federal government Tuesday, but many federal employees, government contractors and users of government services are likely to feel the pain.
The wallets of at least 800,000 federal workers furloughed in a shutdown will be thinner, at least temporarily. Those workers will not be paid until there's an agreement to fund the government anew.
Unable to reach an agreement last night as the House and Senate played political tennis over a plan to temporarily fund the budget, the nation will wake up to an altered government landscape. Some of the services immediately affected are largely invisible, but important, nonetheless.
The State Department, for example, will have to halt some processing of passport applications in federal offices not run by the agency but that are shut down, potentially threatening business or vacation travel of unsuspecting citizens.
Most of the Treasury Department's law enforcement support functions tied to the Bank Secrecy Act will be halted, interrupting efforts to crack down on money laundering and other financial crimes.
But the Department of Transportation said that all air traffic control services will continue without interruption, which is good news for the flying public. Amtrak doesn't expect disruption of passenger railroad service, either.
Still, nearly a third of the Transportation Department's workforce will be furloughed; 18,481 of the agency's 55,468 employees, according to the department's 32-page contingency plan. On-call accident investigations, hazardous materials safety inspections and airport planning will continue, but audits, security background checks and employee drug testing will halt.
A shutdown will bring a mixed bag for the military and its contractors. Soldiers at home and abroad will get paid, but they might face delays in receiving that pay if the shutdown proves protracted.
The Defense Department is also allowed to maintain emergency police, fire and medical services during a government closure. But about half of the Pentagon's 718,000 civilian employees will be barred from working. All travel and training of both military and civilian personnel will stop, as well, except for activities needed to support exempt military operations and emergency services.
"We wouldn't be able to do most training, we couldn't enter into most new contracts, routine maintenance would have to stop," Defense Department Comptroller Robert F. Hale said at a news conference last week. "It has or will consume a lot of senior management attention, probably thousands of hours in employee time better spent on national security."
Veterans still will receive medical help at hospitals and clinics run by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the processing of claims, pensions and other benefits also will be unaffected. But some support networks in place for the veterans may be out of reach, including VA hotlines and call centers, which will be inactive, such as the inspector general's hotline and another for consumer affairs.
The Department of Homeland Security plans to furlough more than 30,000 of its 230,000 employees. But much of the physical work on the U.S-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders will remain unchanged. Border Patrol, Customs and airport security agents seen as critical to the safety and security of the country are expected to report for duty.
Museums and national parks nationwide will close or operate on the thinnest of staffing. For a class of about 30 eighth-graders from Alton, Ill., visiting the nation's capital meant months of fundraising events. A shutdown will provide a hard-learned civics lesson.
"It's a shame because the teachers at their school put an enormous amount of effort into planning and organizing this and, I mean, way above and beyond," said Cindy Hunter, a parent, "and I feel so sorry for them because they are in a scramble right now wondering, 'What are we going to do?'"
Here's how a shutdown will affect some government services:
– All Social Security and Supplemental Security Income payments to beneficiaries will continue without interruption. Field offices will remain open. New and replacement Social Security cards and proof-of-income letters will not be issued, nor will replacement Medicare cards. The Social Security Administration plans to furlough just over 18,000 workers, but its core services will continue.
– The Medicare program will continue uninterrupted, but if the shutdown lasts more than a month, reimbursements to doctors and hospitals could be delayed. A shutdown also will not affect the Tuesday launch of the new federally run insurance marketplaces in 30-plus states as part of the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare.
– The Internal Revenue Service will continue its automated tax collection process, but many tax-processing functions will grind to a halt, including tax refund payments. The IRS said only 8,826 out of 94,516 agency employees will be working under a contingency plan that keeps computers running so that electronic returns can continue to be received.
– Most federal education spending already happened before the start of the 2013-2014 school year. Pell Grants and other forms of aid for college students also will be unaffected. But federal Head Start programs that get their funds on Oct. 1 will have to scramble for alternative sources of money or face closure, affecting about 19,000 children, according to the National Head Start Association. Head Start is the federally supported preschool program for low-income children.
– The U.S. Postal Service doesn't rely on congressional appropriations for its budget, so post offices nationwide will be open for business as if any other day of business.
– Most of NASA will be shut temporarily, President Barack Obama said Monday, except for space agency employees providing support to the astronauts orbiting the Earth in the space station.
– The arts will take a hit with closures of everything from the Smithsonian Institution's 19 museums and the National Zoo in Washington, to the 13 presidential libraries operated by the National Archives and Records Administration.
The National Mall, often called the nation's front lawn, will be the most visible sign of tourist-shock, where the Smithsonian's marquee museums, such as the National Air and Space Museum and the National Museum of the American Indian will be shuttered. In addition, the National Gallery of Art and its well-known East Wing, not part of the Smithsonian system, will be closed.
Tours of the U.S. Capitol will not be allowed unless conducted by members of Congress, the sergeant at arms said in a statement Monday.
The iconic Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is part of the National Park System's 401 national parks that will also close, including Philadelphia's Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and Yellowstone National Park, where guests in hotels and campgrounds will have 48 hours to leave.
A Yellowstone employee involved in reservations told McClatchy, on the condition of anonymity because he lacked authorization to speak, that call volume was high as people who began booking reservations back in May 2012 now face the prospects of ruined vacations. One call stood out, he said, because it was from a man whose wedding and honeymoon are planned for the park and are in jeopardy.
"A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He was kind of frantic," said the employee, who was counseling callers to simply stay tuned.
Maria Recio, James Rosen, Franco Ordonez, Tony Pugh, Renee Schoof, Rob Hotakainen, Anita Kumar, Mary Faddoul and Kendall Helblig of the Washington Bureau contributed to this report.
