The Nasty Bits: Pickled Feet
For many people, the passing of Halloween signals that it is time to start fretting about the gift-giving season. For the offal lover on your list, consider this: pickled offal and animal parts. Nothing says, "I care for you. You are a special, appreciated person in my life," like a jar of pickled feet, and if you've gone through the trouble of pickling the parts yourself, all the better.
I highlight the merits of pickling chicken feet only because poultry claws take on an intriguingly cadaverous look when pickled. Think of Inferi rising out of the water if you happen to be a Harry Potter reader (if you're not, Inferi are corpses bewitched by Voldemort and company to do evil bidding in the later books in the series). But really, any kind of offal, or even marbled meat, tastes good in this pickling liquid.
Shanghainese Pickling Liquid
The liquid is a Shanghainese specialty, made from the all-important Shaoxing Rice Wine and a combination of fermented rice, salt, and spices, including though not limited to: star anise, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, fennel, and sometimes, a touch of Sichuan peppercorns. In addition to chicken feet, I've pickled trotters, pork neck, pig ears, and duck and chicken gizzards in the liquid and have yet to be less than delighted with the results. It's a light pickling liquid that turns your food item into a juicier, more alcoholic version of itself, so while the essential textures stay the same, the taste is that much more interesting after a nice long soak in the brine.
The pickling liquid can be found wherever you find Shaoxing Rice Wine, which is to say, in the soy sauce and cooking wine aisle at most Chinese markets. So while you may not have heard of this miracle product before, it's actually more accessible than you may think. Like different brands and types of soy sauce, not all pickling liquids are created equal: the inferior ones are mostly saline solutions, whereas the better, usually pricier versions smell rich with fermented rice wine and spices. Look for a label that reads "Pickling Solution." The bottle will more likely than not indicate that it is a specialty of Shanghai or somewhere in that Eastern region of China, though not always.
How to Pickle
The procedure for pickling is a snap. You simmer whatever you plan to pickle in water in exactly the same manner as you would for stock, which, by the way, is a handy by-product of this process. Then soak your simmered items in the pickling solution for a few hours to a few days, depending on the size of the item and the desired degree of saltiness. I usually add more crushed black peppercorns or a more Sichuan peppercorns to the brine before letting everything soak.
The entire foot, gizzard, and so forth must be immersed in the liquid for even pickling. I like to use my canning jars that double as jam and confit jars, though a cylindrical plastic container will do. A batch of trotters or a large hunk of pork neck takes at least two days to absorb the brine. A smaller item like poultry feet requires just a few hours in the liquid. You can preserve your items in a diluted solution of the pickling liquid simply by adding water to the container (the water prevents your food from getting increasingly salty), or you can remove the food from the solution entirely and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week. The solution may be used once or twice more before it loses its pickling prowess.
How to Serve
When to serve your pickled products? They are best straight out of the refrigerator as cold appetizers. Since they've been infused with alcohol, the pickled items pair well with a variety of sakes and beers. Or, you can, as I frequently do, carry them around in a container to have a snack on the run, since they don't need to be heated for your eating enjoyment. They really do make a nice gift for the right person, and best of all, yours will probably be the only pickled offal gift sitting on the counter along with the usual assortment of jams, fruitcakes, and cookies.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article does provide a clear sequence of ordered steps in how to pickle offal and animal parts, making it easy for readers to understand the process from preparation to serving. However, while it offers procedural instructions, the depth and specificity are not sufficient for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as the instructions lack detailed explanations for each step and do not delve into the reasoning behind the pickling process or variations that could be made, which would encourage more complex thought.

When the Los Angeles Lakers followed their Steve Nash heist with the addition of the best center in the NBA (not named Lopez or Bynum), we all felt sad. We hate the Lakers. We hate all their damn banners and rings. We hate their best player. We hate how entitled their fans have become given how many titles their team has won. Mostly though, we hate losing to the Lakers which has happened 131 times (vs 91 wins) in my lifetime.
Now here we site about a quarter of the way through the season and the Suns are sniffing the Western Conference cellar and yet are just a couple of Dwight Howard bricked free throws behind the "Lake Show". What a show indeed.
Steve Nash has played a total of 50 ineffective minutes in two games and is weeks away from returning from a broken leg type issue. Pau Gasol either forgot to wear big boy pants or has a handful of sore knees or both. He's a non-factor outside the trade rumor circuit. Steve Blake is out with his 732nd abdominal injury.
Even better, Antwan Jamison, the worst defender in the league (Michael Beasley excluded) is playing 25 minutes plus. This is a guy who was HORRIBLE last year in Cleveland and now he, along with NBA vagabonds Jordan Hill, Chris Duhon and Jody Meeks are playing big and meaningful minute. Also, Meta World Peace is still there and soon may not be the craziest person on his team if Delonte West is signed. Somewhere, perhaps in Croatia, Smush Parker is laughing his ass off.
It's a fun time to be a Laker Hater.
But there's some lessons here for Suns fans. It's not easy to win in the NBA. Learning a new system and incorporating new players can be difficult. Chemistry matters and you have to be patient.
Just kidding. There's no lessons in the Lakers struggles.
It's just pure joy which, unfortunately, won't last forever. In the mean time, if the Lakers stay in the lottery hunt, the Suns are in line to get two top-14 picks so in this case, rooting against the Lakers is actually a way to root for the Suns! I think that's called kismet.
Before we return to talking about just how horrific the Suns defense really is and if Beasley has played his last game for his third team, a quick word about Mike D'Antoni's public meltdown that's getting plenty of airtime today.
If you've not seen it yet, here it is.
When I first saw this Tuesday night, obviously I laughed and cheered. But then it became clear that Mike was responding to professional troll, T.J. Simers of the L.A. Times and I actually felt sympathy for the Mustache Man.
Simers, who likely traveled to Cleveland where he knew there would be fewer media members around to interfere with his clown act, baited Mike into that response. This is what Simers does. He did it recently to UCLA coach Jim Mora. I've been in the room several times when he pulled this crap, including this time with Kirk Gibson. I hardly think this was Mike's first encounter with this jerk.
The dude is an ass who wants only to insert himself in the story. He's a disgrace to professional media members and should never be given a press credential again. The fact that he's employed by the L.A. Times is just another reason to hate L.A.

Apixio guest entry on the Intel IT Professionals Blog: Why is Big Data a Big Deal for Healthcare?
Intel | October 8, 2012
By JARED QUOYESER
On Oct. 23, Intel is hosting its Healthcare Innovation Summit webcasts. These online sessions will feature roundtable discussions with experts on the next wave of healthcare technology, plus live Q&A so you can ask questions to those who are on the forefront of health IT transformation. Register for the webcast series here.
Leading up to the online webcasts, we have asked industry leaders to share some of their thoughts on the future of healthcare technology. Today’s guest blog is from Bob Rogers, PhD, chief scientist at Apixio, Inc., on Big Data. Let us know what questions you have.
As a healthcare technology leader, you ask, “Isn’t my data warehouse already Big Data?”
I hear this question frequently as Chief Scientist at a startup specializing in Big Data Analytics for Healthcare.
My response: “Probably not. ‘Lots of data’ is not the same thing as Big Data.”
“What is Big Data Analytics?”
Don’t get me wrong: Healthcare is generating Big Data. A typical healthcare system with 200,000 patients has 500,000 encounters each year, submits 5 million claims and creates 3 million documents. In five years this adds up to over 1.5 billion distinct references to medical concepts equaling 10 Terabytes of data. That is bigger than the entire print collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.
However, Big Data Analytics is really about new methods to infer knowledge directly from data, which requires three components:
1. Scalable data storage with parallel computing capability
2. Analytical tools, such as machine learning and statistical natural language processing, that can make sense of both structured data and clinical narrative
3. Instantaneous access to enough data to infer something useful in real time
“So what will I learn from Big Data Analytics?”
Here’s an example. To best care for diabetics, you enroll them into a disease management program, which means you must identify patients with diabetes accurately. You then need to compute quality measures, such as whether their latest Hemoglobin A1c lab value was above 9.
Sadly, your information system only contains structured data and you quickly find that this data is a mess. First, many patients with “diabetes” entered in their problem lists are actually not diabetic. This is called “chart lore,” and is a phenomenon endemic to electronic healthcare data. Strike one.
Next, you discover that a significant fraction of your real diabetics do not have any coded term for diabetes in their problem lists so they are not being tracked for disease management. Strike two.
Finally, you discover that 25 percent of your patients are part of a provider group that your organization recently acquired. Although you loaded all of their coded data into your data warehouse, their lab codes are not recognized by your reporting system. Strike three.
There is no way you can actually compute the measures you need to run your business!
Here’s where Big Data Analytics comes in. With the ability to analyze unstructured data, you infer from encounter notes and consult letters which patients are truly diabetic.
What about the unrecognizable lab codes? You utilize machine learning to leverage a Big Data-sized set of patient histories to infer which of these mystery codes correspond to Hemoglobin A1c measurements. You are back in business.
Healthcare is at the intersection of two revolutionary events: The first is fueled by new Big Data technologies that extract valuable knowledge from huge amounts of data. The second was sparked by Meaningful Use and the electronic liberation of previously unavailable clinical data. The resulting explosion in Big Data for Healthcare will light the way for years to come.
What do you think?

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not present a clear sequence of ordered steps that guide the reader through completing a specific task; instead, it provides an overview of Big Data and its implications in healthcare without offering procedural instructions. Additionally, while it discusses concepts that could contribute to understanding Big Data analytics, the lack of explicitly structured and detailed procedural instructions limits its usefulness for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning. The text is more descriptive than prescriptive, failing to lay out clear methodologies or step-by-step processes.

One of the Detroit Lionsí biggest and quietest changes in the offseason so far has been the hiring of new special teams coordinator John Bonamego.
Certainly canít place all the blame for the 4-12 season on special teams, but they didnít contribute as much as they could have. In fact their play hurt more than helped.
Solid special teams play is one reason ó along with Adrian Peterson ó the Minnesota Vikings (10-6) found success that the Lions didnít in 2012.
In fact, the Vikings had the best special teams in the NFL according to a study just released by Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News. Itís an annual survey that ranks the 32 NFL special teams units in 22 categories assigning points according to their standing ó one for best, 32 for the worst.
The Vikings were the best with 253.5 points. While the Lions ranked 30th with 441.5 points.
It explains a little something.
The Lions were worst in punting averaging at 41.4 yards and also were tied with the New York Jets for worst in allowing 24 special teams points.
The Vikings kicked the most field goals (35), committed the fewest turnovers and allowed the fewest points on special teams.
There is hope though.
In 2011 the Vikings were 29th in special teams and made the leap to first under the tutelage of special teams coach Mike Priefer, whose father Chuck was the Lionsí long-time special teams coach.
Bonamego brings a good record to Detroit after serving as special teams coordinator for Jacksonville (2002 and 2012), Packers (2003-05), Saints (2006-07) and Dolphins (2008-11) and assistant special teams coordinator of the Saints in 2011.
From 2002-2011, Bonamegoís special teams units were ranked in the Top 10 of the Dallas Morning News rankings six times, according to the Lions web site.
Heís got almost nowhere to go but up with the Lions.
The good old days
Hereís a little fodder for Super Bowl party conversation. Did you know the Lions (four) have more NFL championships than the New England Patriots (three)?
Ran across interesting numbers this week involving teams with the most NFL championships. Hereís the list: Packers (13); Bears (nine); Giants (eight); Steelers (six); 49ers, Cowboys and Redskins (five) and Lions, Browns and Colts (four).
Of course, the last Lionsí championship was in 1957 when they smoked the Cleveland Browns 59-14. The others were in 1935 (they beat the Giants 26-7), 1952 (beat Browns 17-7) and 1953 (beat Browns again 17-16).
Ah, the good old days.
Hall of Fame
Former Lions defensive tackle Curley Culp (1980-81) is one of the finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year.
Culp, who is one of two senior committee nominees, is the only finalist with a connection to the Lions. Heís best known for his years with the Kansas City Chiefs ó- including their Super Bowl IV win.
ďIt has not captured my every thought, but ever since I became a finalist, Iíve been thinking a lot about it,Ē Culp told ESPN.com.
The voting is on Saturday in New Orleans and will be announced during an NFL Network show starting at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task, nor does it contain structured procedural instructions that are conducive to training a language model for deeper reasoning. Instead, the content focuses on a narrative about the Detroit Lions' special teams changes and the historical context of the team's performance, lacking detailed, actionable directions that could guide reasoning or training in a methodical way.

Hill on November 2, 2008
|No. 56 Seattle Seahawks|

|Roster status: Active|
|Career highlights and awards|
|Career NFL statistics as of Week 17, 2008|
|Stats at NFL.com|
Leroy Hill, Jr. (born September 14, 1982 in Haddock, Georgia) is an American football linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks. He played high school football in Milledgeville, GA for the Baldwin High School Braves. He was selected with the 34th pick of the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of Clemson University by the Seattle Seahawks.
Injuries to starting veteran linebacker Jamie Sharper put him into the starting lineup in his rookie year, and he did very well, totaling 72 tackles and 7.5 sacks from the outside linebacker position. He and rookie middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu were two of the biggest contributors to the 2005 Seahawks squad that went to Super Bowl XL. He wears #56 for the Seahawks. In the 2009 offseason, Hill was tagged as the Seahawks franchise player. The Seahawks removed the franchise tag on Hill on April 26, 2009, making him a free agent because the Seahawks drafted highly touted Wake Forest Linebacker Aaron Curry at number 4 overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. However, several days later, on April 30, 2009 Leroy Hill re-signed with the Seattle Seahawks on a 6-year 38 million dollar deal.

Let’s review some current Sox/Rays history before I tear into what a horse’s ass I think Joe Maddon is.
Over a week ago, Adrian Gonzalez, tired of the Boston media harping on his lack of power, told reporters he’d hit a home run in the second game of a two-game series against the Rays (the Red Sox had just lost the first game after a five-game winning streak). Any idiot knew why he said that and that it had nothing to do with Tampa Bay. Any idiot, that is, except David Price, Matt Moore and maybe all of the Rays, including some fans. David Price retweeted something a fan wrote to him in regard to Gonzalez’ comments:
Moore should put one right between his numbers.
Now I don’t always assume a retweet means you agree with the original tweet, but more often than not it does (and if it doesn’t it is usually followed up by a tweet explaining why you retweeted it). So had I seen that when it was retweeted I probably wouldn’t have put much into it. The tweet came up, though, when that night guess what happened? Matt Moore hit Adrian Gonzalez. Gee, what a coincidence.
Both the Red Sox and Rays shrugged it off after the game (but not before Felix Doubront hit Luke Scott. Vicente Padilla also hit Rich Thompson later in the game and the Red Sox went on to win):
“If it was (intentional), it was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in baseball,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. “But it might have been. I doubt it. If we have to resort to that kind of stupidity, maybe the game has passed me by.”
Rays manager Joe Maddon laughed and shrugged off the controversy.
“We’re not going to hit him because he said he’s going to hit a home run,” Maddon said with a chuckle. “I did read it. I was aware of it. That stuff doesn’t bother me in the least. In baseball, I don’t think bulletin board stuff carries a whole lot of weight. The game is played emotionally, but at the same time you have to be passive in some ways to really be able to control yourself. It’s not like football where you’re going to go out and try to hurt somebody.”
The Red Sox were leery of accusing Moore of anything, though outfielder Marlon Byrd did acknowledge, “It’s one of those things you put in the back of your mind.”
Gonzalez didn’t seem particularly worked up.
“I don’t think he’d want to load the bases in that situation,” he said. “If he did, thank you, because we won the game. You never know what could have happened. Like Bobby said, if that was their intent, hey, keep doing it. It didn’t hurt.”
Keep Marlon Byrd’s comment about it being in the back of your mind in the back of YOUR mind because I’m going to come back to it.
So the Rays hit a player after one of their pitchers retweets a comment that they SHOULD hit him but no one sees any intent, the Red Sox win a game and all goes on as normal in baseball. Until last night when in the sixth inning Burke Badenhop took the mound for the Rays after Howell walked Saltalamacchia and Daniel Nava. He gives up a single and two sacrifices that score two runs and then hits Dustin Pedroia (to pitch to David Ortiz who flew out to end the inning). Doesn’t seem like intent. Why put Pedroia on to pitch to Papi in that situation? But with the history these teams have, especially this month, you know hitting one of their best players won’t sit with the Red Sox and it didn’t.
Poor Franklin Morales. All he wanted to do was go pitch a clean inning. Instead he ends up hitting Luke Scott and starting one of the stranger baseball brouhahas in recent memory.
Morales claims he missed his spot. I’m not naive and I think he nailed his spot. So let’s go with the whole idea that this is what happens in baseball games when you throw at our guys and ignore Franklin’s words for the sake of this post.
More often than not, when a team decides to hit an opposing team’s player you know they’re going to go after one of the really good players, right? As Pedro Martinez so eloquently put it “Who is Karim Garcia?” You aren’t going after the Karim Garcia’s of the world, you’re going after the Alex Rodriguezes. There are always exceptions, though. Remember Eric Byrnes? He got thrown at a bit. He wasn’t exactly a marquee player…he was a jerk. Teams are going to pick the jerk to throw at if they have the opportunity. (Slappy gives us two for one: He’s an exceptional player AND a jerk. Whee!)
Luke Scott is a jerk. I feel very comfortable writing that because, well, he is. This is a man who believes the President of the United States isn’t an American citizen. This is a man who throws bananas in his Dominican teammate’s helmet to indicate he’s acting like a savage and claims he isn’t racist because he has black friends. And as a Red Sox fan I remember that this is a man who, on more than one occasion, has insulted the fan base I belong to and the ballpark that I love. I will say it again: Luke Scott is a jerk and every time he comes to bat, regardless of what team the Rays are playing, I hope he gets plunked. Every time, regardless of the score or who is on base. EVERY TIME. I’m not necessarily proud of this but it’s true. I hope he ends the season covered from the neck down in baseball shaped bruises. To be clear, I don’t like Luke Scott.
And I used to like Joe Maddon…but not any more. Any respect I had for him walked out the door with his comments last night. Everyone is responsible but him and his team. He blamed the Red Sox for “starting it” and promised the Rays would “finish it”. He used all kinds of adjectives to describe the situation and the people “who called it”…basically calling out Bobby Valentine (and the rest of the coaching staff?). What made this scrum unique is that it seemed the coaches were more fired up than the players. Joe Maddon acting like the Rays have never thrown at a pitcher (he’s fond of using the “they’re young and don’t have good control” excuse) is absolutely ridiculous. And his righteous indignation in the post-game comments as well as his Twitter whining makes him look like a whining crybaby instead of a Major League Baseball manager.
Back to Marlon Byrd’s comment. Regardless of what got said last night (Gonzalez said they didn’t discuss last week before this series), you know that players remember things just as well as the fans do when it comes to something like one of their teammates getting hit. Adrian Gonzalez might be the Boston media whipping boy but by all accounts he seems a fairly popular guy in the clubhouse. No one who took that field last night didn’t remember that he got hit last week for trying to fire himself up to the Boston sports media. Joe Maddon can try to have it both ways by insulting the Red Sox but saying he wasn’t really going after the PLAYERS because “the hit” wasn’t ordered by them, but he knows nothing. WE know nothing. Maybe Bobby Valentine has a great read on the fans and knew hitting Luke Scott would be welcomed by most of them? Maybe they choose to throw at Scott because he’s a horse’s ass and, for the most part, the rest of the players on the Rays are relatively likable? MAYBE Franklin Morales really did miss his spot?
Bobby Valentine suggested that the Fenway’s ghosts made that ball hit the player who insulted the park. I got a kick out of that. Of course there are those who are using his comments to suggest they are proof that he called for Luke Scott to be hit. Let me say this: I don’t care. There are 30 MLB teams and I believe all 30 of those managers have called for a player to be hit at one time or another. Not only is Joe Madden a sore sport but I believe he’s a liar when he says he’s never done that.
As an aside, apparently a fan yelled something about David Price that BJ Upton took exception to and Upton went at it with said fan (the fan was removed from Fenway Park by security). When asked about it after the game Upton said he didn’t know if something racist was said. I’m still trying to figure out how that is possible. Before the rest of baseball starts on the “Boston is so racist” crap, I submit that if something racist was said you would be reading about it all over the Internet today. I’ll be disappointed if I’m wrong but don’t start throwing out the racist crap if you have nothing to back it up.
It would have been nice for the Sox to top the night off with a win, but there are two more games to get their revenge. I’m hoping they only do it on the field and we get no more fisticuffs this weekend. I don’t think I can bear three days of Joe Maddon’s holier than thou act.

The reports of capital controls being implemented should Greece leave the Eurozone have been flying throughout the internet over the last twenty-four hours, leaving many to wonder if the European Union is about to descend into the status of a large latte sipping banana republic. Switzerland’s central bank (SCB) is already rumored to have a plan in place to freeze all incoming funds at their borders and penalize anyone attempting to convert deteriorating Euros into Swiss Francs along with currency exchange controls (See ZeroHedge, Bruce Krasting’s May 28th article – Capital Controls Coming to Greece and Switzerland). The problem with this approach is the large underground economy which it creates and unfortunately for the nation of Greece, that has already begun.
The concerns of the ongoing bank run by depositors in Greek banks have created the basis for a second leg of the domestic financial crisis which will collapse the system if the elections result in a conflict with the Troika and ECB regarding aid to the Greek financial system and potential default. On Bloomberg this morning the pace of withdrawals has accelerated as the article at the link below indicates:
From the story above:
Greek deposit outflows have accelerated before this weekend’s elections, two bankers familiar with the situation said, on concern the nation may move closer to abandoning the euro.
Daily withdrawals have increased to the upper end of a 100 million-euro ($125 million) to 500 million-euro range this month, one banker said, asking not to be identified because the figures aren’t public. A second banking executive said the drawdown may have exceeded 700 million euros today. An official for the Bank of Greece (TELL), the Athens-based central bank, declined to comment.
The problem that faces the Greek nation is that the corrupt government and insanely criminal taxation authority have been dipping into accounts and seizing funds from “suspected” tax cheats thus causing innocent citizens to conclude they are next, thus the bank runs. Add in the fact that those funds are not being reinvested into the Greek economy but being used to purchase German short term Bunds or being stuffed into the mattress and the formula for the perceived necessity of capital controls already exists.
The newspaper Ekathimerini dropped a bombshell of a story the Western press ignored but is causing panic inside the massive bureaucracy in Athens:
These excerpts from the story highlight why this problem exists and how companies are evading the oppressive taxes inside of Greece:
Thousands of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are looking for the road to financial recovery in Bulgaria. Even though the trend of Greek businesses relocating to the neighboring country had already begun before the crisis, in the past few months there has been a fresh spurt of interest, taking the total number that have moved there to 6,000.
“The first wave of Greek companies moving their headquarters to Bulgaria came in 2006, when it became a member of the European Union, and they were mostly large construction and textile firms,” Alexandros Adamidis, a lawyer who heads a company that specializes in such transfers, told Kathimerini.
In contrast to the widespread belief that those first businesses moved in order to reduce operating costs, Adamidis said their motives were more about increasing profits, with Greek construction firms today leading the market for big infrastructure projects in Bulgaria.
Translation from the story is not necessary as this is the English version and the meaning of this course of action is spelled out in the following sentence as the harsh reality of socialism gone wild continues within a collapsing system:
“These are not companies that have gone bankrupt,” he explained. “But the red tape and especially the unclear tax system have put businesses in flight mode.”
The justification for these corporate relocation programs to neighboring Bulgaria sound vaguely familiar, like the information executives gave during hearings in the United States Congress years ago when they were grilled about moving their headquarters to the Bahamas.
This now begs the question; what capital controls have been introduced? The newspaper Protothema highlighted the crisis in this story today:
Sounds like capital controls are in force based on the headline alone, right? The article highlights a circular being distributed by the Greek Treasury to enforce the restrictions on large flows of capital out of the country. This portion of the story spells out the regulations that have been implemented to stop capital flight:
With a circular already sent to tax offices, the Treasury is instructing its agents on barriers to be raised against anyone who seeks to transfer their tax base abroad.
More specifically, the circular states the following:
- those submitting a transfer statement of their tax base to the 47 “uncooperative” tax countries (Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Uruguay, etc.) remain mandatory tax residents of Greece, which means they will be taxed on their worldwide income in Greece
- those who submit a declaration of tax residence transfer to countries where there is no tax on income must meet a series of conditions for the Greek tax authorities to accept the request. For example, if a taxpayer acquires at least 30% of his income in Greece, he should be taxed in our country too. The same will apply if the total income derived in Greece exceeds 50,000 euros per year
- if a taxpayer declares that he will move to a country with which there is a contract for the avoidance of double taxation of income (i.e. not getting taxed on the same income twice but only in one of the two countries), then the tax office should raise the issue of the double residence. Here the Treasury will contact the foreign tax authority to decide who will tax the taxpayer
The directive of the ministry now is that a mere disclosure of the taxpayer’s intent to make a change of residence “should not automatically imply a change of residence.”
Treasury Secretary George Zanias appears to have engaged in the implementation of these capital controls during the void in leadership due to the upcoming elections. As this process continues and expands to lower and lower amounts of Euros the average citizen or businessman is allowed to transfer out of the nation, the economy will come to a screeching halt. It is my hope every American watches this process as de facto capital controls are already in effect in the United States effective January 1, 2013. Prepare to witness an economic carnage unseen by the majority of us in our lifetimes and much worse than the 1930′s Great Depression.

Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing any specific task; rather, it discusses economic conditions related to Greece's financial crisis, capital controls, and the implications for businesses and citizens. Additionally, the procedural instructions mentioned are not well-structured for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as they lack clarity and detailed guidance that would allow for comprehensive understanding or application.

Top – Old Navy
Scarf – Accessories trade show
Pants – Express
Boots – Cole Haan
And the winner in the One Piece, Three Days challenge was the green pants!
Unfortunately, our weather in Chicago today is pretty chilly so cropped pants with cute flats, sandals or strappy heels was just not going to cut it. So, I employed my usual fix for cropped pants in chilly weather: knee high boots! This is a great way to extend the wearability of cropped pants when you live in a climate that isn’t warm enough to wear them alone year-round.
Also, if you’re feeling gun shy about colored pants green is probably a good color to start with. It’s not as bright as red or orange but it’s still fun. Pair it with a neutral colored top like black, navy or white and you’ll be good to go!
BONUS: I attended the Dots spring and summer launch party last night and took some pics of the outfits I created. I’ll do a full recap when the professional photos are released but until then check out my album on my Facebook page!

What Does Dropship Mean?
If you are scouting around for a profitable home business, you may have run across this term and are now wondering: What does dropship
mean?Click Here For a FREE Dropshipping E-Book!
In a nutshell, when you are a dropship seller, you are selling something you don’t actually have.
How can this be?
Here is the way it works:
Let’s say you have decided to start a home dropshipping business. The first thing you would need to do is decide on a niche with a great enough demand to ensure plenty of traffic & prospective customers. Then you would need to locate a wholesale product source that would sell you the products you want to buy for resale at genuine wholesale prices---low enough that you can rack up a tidy profit when you resell at retail market prices.
Step 3 would be to decide which marketplace you want to use to sell your dropship products. You will have a lot to choose from, including:
- Ebid and more
Or, if you so desire, you can strike out on your own and create your own website for your home dropship business. The plus side to this is that you don’t have to pay any fees such as listing or final value fees. The down side is that you cannot hope to match the enormous amount of traffic that flows the online marketplace giants like eBay and Amazon.
Now, once you have done all these things and have your ducks in a row to start selling, that’s exactly what you do…start selling.
So, this may be the tricky part for you and you may now still be wondering how you are going to sell and deliver products that you don’t have in your physical possession. The answer to this puzzler is one of the most beautiful things about having a home dropship business:
You don’t have to do anything except sell the products. Your wholesale product source houses the inventory. You don’t even pay up front! As you sell each item and collect the money from your customer, you pay your product source and they then package and ship it to your buyer.
Honestly, could it get any easier?
Drop Ship Access is an ideal wholesale product source with almost 2 million products available with a Low Price Guarantee so that you are assured of making a healthy profit on every sale.
Check out Drop Ship Access now and take advantage of the FREE premium educational resources that will help you further understand how having a home dropship business can be extremely profitable, as well as quick and easy to start up!

Thanks to everybody who's given feedback on the new color scheme. There may still be some changes, but one thing here to stay is our new banner.
A couple days after noting that we'd have to change the banner, a new one appeared in my email box courtesy of the good folks at Old St. Patrick's Oratory. The Oratory is Kansas City's Latin Mass community administered by priests of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. And they got some latin in there - Quaerite Primum Regnum Dei - which is Bishop Finn's Episcopal Motto and translates "Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God."
The Oratory has an excellent blog giving updates on goings on there, Catholic news from Kansas City and beyond, and lots of reporting on our Holy Father and international Catholic issues. Pay them a visit. I've bookmarked them and you can always find them on our blogroll.

Looking Ahead to 2013: Players and Issues to Get on the Radar
During Thursday night's (3 Jan.) broadcast of the FootballDiehards on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, co-host Mike Dempsey and I were joined by beat reporters covering the four teams appearing in Saturday's Wildcard Playoff games. Yes, we discussed the matchups at hand. But we also got a chance to dig a little deeper and look ahead to the 2013 season.
Here are some key nuggets from the show:
In talking to Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson, the discussion turned to the team's plans going forward at wide receiver. Clearly A.J. Green is locked in as the clear-cut No. 1 for the foreseeable future. So what's the plan for the complementary spots? According to Hobson, Marvin Jones will open next season as the starter opposite Green with Mohamed Sanu working out of the slot.
Pressed as to Sanu's strong (albeit brief run) as the starter before he was hurt, Hobson indicated that coaches feel the former Syracuse standout's versatility is best utilized in the slot (and as a multi-position threat who's capable of running out of the backfield and throwing the ball -- as evidenced by his surprise touchdown pass against the Redskins in Week 3 this season).
Indeed, Sanu scored at least a touchdown a week (and two in one week) during a three-game run as the starter before a fractured foot ended his season.
As for Jones, Hobson told us the speedy youngster was the star of training camp and was developing as expected when a knee injury slowed that progress. That jibes with other local reporting at the time indicating that coaches were planning to expand his role in the offense for the Week 7 game against Pittsburgh. But when the offense got the ball for first time that night, Jones wasn’t on the field. He had been blocking on a kickoff return when another player ran into his right knee and almost bent it to the ground.
Jones returned for the Nov. 25 game against the Raiders and has started the rest of the season. While the early results were mixed, Jones flashed his potential over the last two games, pulling in 10 of 12 passes thrown his way for 110 yards and a touchdown.
With a solid trio of Green, Jones and Sanu at wideout, a talented but as yet underutilized Jermaine Gresham at tight end and a solid (if unspectacular) BenJarvus Green-Ellis providing a serviceable rushing attack, look for Andy Dalton to continue progressing -- to the point he's more "Red Rifle" than "Red-Headed Step Child."
PackerReport.com's Bill Huber also joined us and when the discussion turned to Greg Jennings' future with the club, Huber noted that paying top dollar at a position already loaded with talent isn't the general manager Ted Thompson's modus operandi.
Remember: Jennings, who becomes an unrestricted free agent, will turn 30-years-old in September and his next deal will likely be his last lucrative, long-term contract. He recently told reporters that he would consider the Franchise tag as a "slap in the face."
With younger, less-proven players at the position reeling in $8-10 million annually, it's safe to say Jennings will be looking for more. I think it's equally safe to say the Packers won't be the ones cutting that check.
The Dolphins could have as much as $46.8 million in salary-cap space at their disposal in the coming months and owner Stephen Ross has made it clear that landing a high-end wideout is a priority (again) for his club.
Whatever the case, look for Jennings to be plying his trade elsewhere next season. ...
Posey, a third-round pick, had three catches for 46 yards in the 29-17 victory over Indianapolis in Week 15. Coaches were hoping that was a breakout game for Posey, who left Ohio State after a junior year in which he was suspended for 10 games.
But he responded with only one catch for six yards in the 23-6 loss to Minnesota and also came up small in the regular-season closer against Indy.
Still, with Kevin Walter known more for his downfield blocking than his play-making ability, the Texans need somebody to step up. Even with Lestar Jean flashing more potential in that regard this season, Wexler believes Posey will be the man to watch this summer. ...
And finally, 1500ESPN.com's Tom Pelissero stopped by to talk about Vikings WR Percy Harvin, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Dec. 5 because of a complete ligament tear in his left ankle, remains in Florida while his team prepares for its first-round playoff game. The fact Harvin has elected to rehab the injury away from Minnesota seems to be just fine with head coach Leslie Frazier.
"It's purely up to him," Frazier said Wednesday. "If he wanted to be around, he can be around. It doesn't concern us."
Frazier said the team's head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman is monitoring Harvin's rehab from the injury suffered on Nov. 4 in a loss at Seattle. Frazier added that he has not talked to Harvin of late. "Not lately, not lately," Frazier said.
Those detecting an unusual lack of interest from the coach might not be far off the mark.
In case you missed it, in the same game Harvin was injured, television cameras caught the volatile receiver waving his arms and screaming at Frazier on the sideline over his frustration with the Vikings' struggling offense.
Tom explained during his visit with us, that Harvin and Frazier had another heated exchange weeks later in front of some players and staff members. Pelissero went on to stress that Frazier is not a man who likes airing issues in public (nor is his apparent lack of general intensity something that carries over into his private dealings with his team).
According to Pelissero, that last incident was sufficiently impassioned some inside and outside the building believed that, and not the ankle, was the driving force behind Harvin's trip to IR.
Harvin's ongoing issues date back to the Brad Childress era, when he and then-head coach Childress went at it on multiple occasions (including one that took place in the team's weight room and in which Harvin threw a weight at Childress).
You'll recall that Harvin also demanded -- pretty much out of the clear blue -- a trade during the Vikings' mini-camp in June. Harvin admitted in early October he had issues with the offense.
Harvin will be entering the last season of his rookie contract next year and is due to make $1.55 million, plus a workout bonus of $27,500. Harvin almost certainly will be looking for a long-term extension this offseason and there is no guarantee the Vikings will want to reward him with one.
Nobody is arguing Harvin's value to the offense. Despite playing in only nine games, Harvin still leads the Vikings with 62 receptions -- nine more than tight end Kyle Rudolph and 22 more than Michael Jenkins, who ranks second among the team's wide receivers with 40 -- for 677 yards and three touchdowns (in addition to a rushing touchdown and a kickoff returned for another score).
Despite all that, Pelissero considers Harvin 50-50 to return to Minnesota this season. His future with the club will clearly be one of the offseason's biggest stories.

Welcome back to running Caity. Iliotibial Band Syndrome can stop you in your tracks and be quite painful. Read on for tips on how to prevent it from happening again and safely return to running.
Posted by: Caity May 23, 2007:
I'm just coming off a three-week it-band injury. What's the best/quickest way to get back into running without re-injuring myself? Thanks!
ITB (Iliotibial Band) tightness is a common running injury among all levels of runners. The ITB is a band of tissue that runs from the gluteus down to the outside of the lower leg just beneath the knee. It's main role is to extend the leg and stabilize the leg while you run. It can be caused from overuse or drastic changes in training, inflexibility, worn out shoes or shoes that don't support your feet, cambered roads, and muscle imbalances. Signs and symptoms include pain on the outside of the knee or hip.
How to Get Back to Running:
- If pain exists, decrease your running mileage, cross-train or rest to reduce the risk of further irritation. Ice the area and review your running program for drastic increases in intensity, mileage or terrain changes. Try to identify what caused the pain to avoid it from happening again.
- ITB can be due to having weak gluteal and knee stabilizing muscles and muscle tightness. Incorporate total body strength and flexibility exercises - emphasizing your core, upper and lower body at least three times per week. Building balanced strength and flexibility will not only prevent ITB it will also improve your running form and efficiency. You will be more successful in your journey back to running if you properly address specific weaknesses and muscle imbalances.
- Gradually get back to running by testing the waters first. Doing too much too soon can increase the time of recovery. After a 5-minute walking warm-up, run a few 30-40 second easy paced sprints on even terrain and walk back to recover between each one. If you have pain, continue to rehab and rest. If not, continue with the next step.
- Warm up walking briskly for 5 minutes. Run at an easy pace for 20-25 minutes and finish with a 5-minute walking cool down and flexibility exercises. Repeat this running workout on alternate days [i.e. M-W-F] 4-5 times. Cross-train on the days in between to maintain your cardiovascular fitness. If there is no pain present before, during or after the run add 10 minutes to the run next time.
- Gradually add minutes to your runs as your body allows. Every time you increase minutes hold what you have for 3-5 more running sessions until you reach your normal running regimen. This will avoid risk for re-injury and doing too much too soon. Alternate your run days with either rest or cross-training for the first four weeks back to running.
- Avoid adding speed or hill workouts until you are symptom free for at least 6 weeks and have rebuilt an adequate base of mileage.
- If pain returns, take 3-4 days off, continue to focus on cross-training, strengthening and flexibility and try, try again. Your body will recover and be stronger and less likely to develop ITB again.
- Be cautious about running on tracks, down hills and on crowned and uneven surfaces as it can contribute to ITB. All of these can contribute to developing ITB. Running on softer surfaces is more fore giving on the body and may be an easier for the transition back to running.
- Over striding can cause ITB - read my blog on how to improve stride efficiency.
- Perform self massage/release techniques with a foam roll or The Stick to help release the tight tissue and decrease tension on the band. If possible, schedule a deep tissue/friction massage biweekly or monthly.
- Practice patience and go perform each workout with a goal in mind. If you're wise, every run will be one step closer to a complete and successful return. You may be surprised...and turn a negative into a positive and come back much stronger!

|Maloof. Maloof. Maloof is on fire! (sorry)|
The rumor originated in a Tweet from Daina Falk, a food blogger known as “The Hungry Fan’’ and also the daughter of longtime NBA agent David Falk, whose clients included Michael Jordan and a number of former Sonics, including longtime team president Wally Walker.
Daina Falk sent out a Tweet Tuesday reading: “So I hear that the Seattle Kings is officially a done deal! The Maloofs (the family that owns the Kings) finally sold the ailing Sacramento team.’’
When questioned about the Tweet, she responded that she had heard it from someone who would know, and she also referred to the Tweet on her Facebook page saying to wait and see what happens over the next few days.
Those Tweets and her Facebook message were all deleted by Wednesday morning.(from The Seattle Times)

Randy Moss' And Chris Culliver's Nuclear Trolling Of San Francisco
As an NFL player playing in the biggest football game known to the free world, the last thing you want to do during Super Bowl week is give your opponent any bulletin board material. Trash talk is not highly recommended.
Those microphones are not your friends
This year, perhaps because (more likely, in spite of) the two head coaches are brothers, the Ravens and the 49ers managed to do a pretty good job of keeping the other team's bulletin board clean.
Ironically, the 49ers managed to be the first team in the history of the Super Bowl to agitate and troll its own fan base during Super Bowl media sessions.
That's not so good.
It started on Media Day, when 49ers wide receiver and future Hall of Famer (whether you like it or not) Randy Moss decided to opine on his place in wide receiver history, and decided to drag a direct comparison to Jerry Rice into the mix:
Okay, let's start off with the veracity, or lack thereof, of Moss' statement. Jerry Rice is not only the best wide receiver of all time, but he's the only wide receiver who can put together an argument that he is the greatest NFL player of all time. Rice easily wins the "Wikipedia style" argument against Moss, meaning if both guys were to print out and plunk down their respective Wikipedia pages on the table, one can win in a knockout.
Yes. Rice. Checkmate.
That said, Moss is probably the most talented wide receiver of all time. No wide receiver (or perhaps player) has been blessed with the physical gifts of Randy Moss, and this manifested itself going all the way back to high school in West Virginia, when he was a five-star recruit in football and a damn good one in basketball.
When you consider that Moss was so troubled before the NFL that he was committed to or attended three different schools before leaving college early, fell like a stone to 21st in the 1998 draft, and has fallen off the map three different times in his career, the fact that he is still such a statistical beast (2nd in touchdowns, 6th in receiving yards), in a twisted way, speaks to his greatness.
That said, Moss would have been better served taking out a Joe Montana jersey and urinating on it in the middle of his press conference than saying (not even implying, he outright said it) he is a greater player than Jerry Rice.
So there you had it, a Media Day interview where a 49er player inexplicably trolled San Francisco. When would we eve see this happen again?
Well, the answer came 24 hours later.
Backup 49er defensive back Chris Culliver got loose on a show with comedian Artie Lange, and when asked about gay players in NFL locker rooms, he had this to say:
I mean....WOW. In a 54-second span, Chris Culliver managed to secure monster-heel status in San Francisco for the remainder of his career. His point of view, intolerable as it was, was bad enough, but the fact that he plays in SAN FRANCISCO? It was bad enough that you could almost sense Lange's co-host or producer wanting to tackle him.
Unfortunately for Culliver, he followed up his mindless statements with an even worse apology:

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

Additionally, the procedural instructions necessary for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning are lacking, as the text primarily focuses on commentary and opinion rather than detailed or structured instructional content.

In his first season, the New York Islanders 2008 first-round draft pick Josh Bailey went under the radar, while young Kyle Okposo showed up to lead the team in scoring. This season Okposo continues his on ice presence, and now Bailey is really turning up the heat netting his sixth goal of the season with a decisive game-winner at the end of overtime to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs. With Matt Moulson at 11 goals, John Tavares at 9 and Jeff Tambellini having a scoring burst to aid his total of 7, Bailey has consistently raised his game in the background, quietly notching his six goals over the course of this season.
During the beginning of this season and during last year, Bailey’s play making ability was apparent, but he seemed a little shy at driving the play or the net. Bailey did not need to play reserved because based on the Islanders core last year he needed not worry about being sent down to Bridgeport. However, it seemed that it wasn’t until late in the season after Okposo broke out on his tear that this NHL rookie began to realize this.
So this season is Bailey now benefiting just from the Tavares-Okposo effect or is his second season rise of confidence and consistency backed with the youthful support of Gordon raising him to new heights at the NHL level and to becoming an important part of the new Islander core? Perhaps it is both.
What does seem to be reality is this - this young Islander team is solid. Any team that gives up 61 shots and still hangs on to win the game in overtime at the end of a 7-game 3-2-2 successful road trip (even if it is with the help of a highlight reel game from 40-year old Snow-picked top goaltender Dwayne Rolonson), deserves a spot to entertain in the playoffs.
The 2009-2010 Islanders are not flashy in design like a limited edition Ovechkin CCM Vector skate with yellow laces matching the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguin colors. This molded group is more comparable to a top of the line, consistently reliable Bauer moldable hockey boot, baked at a low temperature over last season and cooling and hardening at the beginning of this one to form a solid skating core. This core is keeping these new New York Islanders in games night after night with Bailey right in the middle of it, or now winning it.

Cauliflower is super low in carbs and high in fiber making it the perfect substitute for those starchy dishes...like rice. I recently found this video on how to make cauliflower rice and I knew it was a recipe that needed to be tested asap.
I am SO excited about this recipe I may or may not have done an actual happy dance when I ate it for the first time.
What you will need:
- 1 head of cauliflower
- Whatever seasonings you like on your rice
- Wash and dry cauliflower. Cut into small size chunks.
- Using the shredder blade of your food processor, place the cauliflowers chunks into the processor until it is the size of rice.
- Remove from food processor and place "rice" into a microwave safe dish with a lid. Microwave (you do not need to add any water) for 5-6 minutes.
- Done! So so easy. Season however you normally like your rice.
On a side note: I haven't felt like doing much else lately other than cooking, baking and cleaning (hello nesting) so you may be seeing more recipes here than normal.

The bob haircut is one of the most widely-worn, and widely-adapted haircuts in history. The cut was ground-breaking when it was originally introduced, and that impact doesnít
seem to have changed much in all the decades that have passed in the interim. Bob haircuts range from the traditional chin-length style, to long blunt shapes, and even shorter, more-modern, edgy looks. Itís these shorter
and edgier styles that weíre dealing with today, since they require some special handling to get the proper effects.
If we are going to deal with this particular incarnation of the bob, we need to discuss some important factors that have to be considered to make sure the cut is going to be
suitable for the individual. These factors include the hairís texture, the hairís wave pattern, the shape of the face and the overall balance of the silhouette. Letís take each factor separately:
The texture of the hair is important in that it will determine how much length will be required to make the hair lie the way it is intended to for the style. Since the bob is
meant to fall in a smooth shape, thicker diameter hairs will need more length (and more weight) to enable the hair to lie properly. On the other hand, hair that is very fine needs to be very dense (many hairs per square
inch) in order to provide the kind of look that makes the short, stacked bob work.
The short, stacked bob is best suited to hair that is straight or only mildly wavy. Wavy and curly hair types add a lot of volume to the style which can make getting the
desired silhouette difficult. Since the desired look is a smooth, straighter style (or at least a gentle curve) the more wave there is in the hair, the more straightening and styling must be done to create the look that is preferred.
There is a bob style for every shape face, but the short, stacked bob is not suited to every face. Since this bob falls to a point around or just below the cheeks, with a strong
weight line around the middle-point of the head, it isnít suitable for women with round or wide faces. It is also not necessarily flattering to those with a squared face shape. These face types will simply be made to
appear more broad by the cut. Ideally, the short, stacked bob is best worn by those with an oval or even a narrower face to provide balance.
Cutting the Hair
Executing the cut in question is generally a straight-forward proposition. Start by sectioning the hair into the standard seven-section parting. (See here for instruction on the
Once the hair is separated and the perimeter is left free, you can begin shaping the intended silhouette and go from there. The first step is deciding whether or not the style
will include a fringe (bangs). Optimally, this decision will have been made well in advance of beginning the cut, but defining the fringe area, if any is to exist, is the first item on the agenda.
If there is to be a fringe, start in the center and snip a half-inch segment to the desired length. Carefully cut the remaining fringe area in half-inch increments, alternating
from left to right, to help ensure an even cut. Once the fringe is defined, cut the forward edges of the sides to the desired length.
If there isnít going to be a fringe section, you should cut a half-inch segment in the front/center of the face to the maximum length desired for the cut. Work from left to right
and cut in addition half-inch segments until you reach the sides of the face. Remember not to cut the initial guides too short. You can always trim a bit more off, but growing it back takes time.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article does provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for cutting a short, stacked bob haircut, detailing the process of sectioning hair, defining a fringe, and cutting techniques. However, while the instructions are reasonably straightforward, they lack the depth and contextual reasoning needed for useful training of a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as they do not elaborate on the underlying principles or considerations that might inform decision-making during the haircutting process.

I blog because I like it. I do not receive any medals, certificates or degrees for what I write. I get a kick out of the process of creating something from nothing.
Today I read a really interesting blog post on the Edutopia site by Judy Willis called “How to Rewire Your Burned-Out Brain: Tips from a Neurologist”
The keys to the article are in the paragraph headings: (1) Know it’s not your fault (2) If you’re burned out your brain has rewired to survival mode and (3) Reset Your Brain’s Default Neural Network from Retreat to IGNITE!
This is brilliant advice based on neurological science on how you can begin to build confidence again after you have been squashed by Government dictates, parental pressure, managerial pressure and your own self-doubt.
The third paragraph is about the need to learn something new and master it step by step.This allows for you to release dopamine in your brain and feel the pleasure of success and real learning and mastery. This then draws you away from the brain’s survival mode and will lead you to regain confidence in yourself.
The release of the dopamine comes from intrinsic success and not extrinsic rewards. Judy Willis makes a very important point that success is based on a feeling that you get from mastery and an ability to do something that you could not do previously.
Which brings me back to this blog post. I have nearly completed it now and will get the usual buzz that I get from having added another post that someone somewhere will read. I do not expect to get a “Blogger of the Year ” Reward for this and indeed ti means nothing to me to have this accolade.. in the end it is about what I get out of it from knowing that I have achieved something of value to me.
I feel that teachers and many others will get a lot from reading Judy Willis’ wise article and would recommend it to you unreservedly.
