What make and model is the turntable anyway?
DOn't try to read too much into the part number. Chances are good that the part was custom wound for whoever made the table, and the actual brand may not be available to you as a part. Not saying it isn't, but good chance it is not. Point is it is real unlikely the transformer is an off the shelf item. Turntable company goes to transformer company and says, make us 25,000 transformers that take 240v in and make 24v center tapped out at 750ma. Or whatever. And they say, OK, we'll do it.
Let's consider the problem. You have the old part and the turntable, so we can find out some things. How many secondary wires are there? And if they are intact windings, how many windings? The resistances won't tell us much, but you can find out what is a center tap and what isn't.
There will be power for the motor, and power for the control circuits, and power for the USB interface. SOme of those power sources may be shared. You should be able to find where the AC from the transformer goes, and I expect it will go to some rectifiers and filters. You should be able to spot if it uses split supplies like +12 and -12, or a single supply like +24. Are there three-legged voltage regulator ICs? You might have 24v for the motor and 5v for the logic, or even 3.3v for a processor - look for regulators.
Look at the main filter caps. If you see 35v caps, probably expect 25v tops for the supplies. REgulators like a few extra volts of headroom to regulate down from, so if there are 12 regulators, then 16-20v going into them sounds average. If we can get an idea of the DC involved, we can easily calculate what the AC would be to create those DC voltages.
And one thing in your favor is that it probably doesn;t have to be all that close. If all the operating voltages are regulated - likely - then as long as the input voltage is high enough for that couple volt headroom, but not so high as to cook the things, you should be OK.

It's tough to get links from high profile websites such as the Guardian and TIME and only the strongest pitches and most effective outreach will get results. To do this it's vital you understand the way people you are contacting work, alongside the needs they have, and all the hundreds of others things they have to get done.
You can do this with psychology, and in this presentation we reveal the same psychological techniques we used to get coverage in the BBC, Daily Mail, CBS, TIME and many more. Best of all we show you how to do this too.
For this talk Koozai partnered with Distilled for an evening of networking, presentations and good times.
If you haven't signed up for the Linklove conference be sure to check it out, or learn more about the other speakers Annabel Hodges and Philip Nottingham who gave excellent talks.

Slide Cover
We also put together a custom cover for this presentation which was inspired by retro books and video game covers.
The slide show demonstrates how easy a well thought out campaign can be shared. Most of the best links that I have personally acquired were indirect and were delivered in a soft and suggestive tone that also gave the recipient the 'accessibility' to make this happen. The consideration was in their control. No pressure was applied (although persistence can sometimes be a virtue!) Ultimately, they chose whether they wanted to link to these assets. I was simply the vehicle. I love seeding juicy fruit!
Unlike 08 numbers, 03 numbers cost the same to call as geographic landline numbers (starting 01 and 02), even from a mobile phone. They are also normally included in your inclusive call minutes. Please note we may record some calls.

(Posted Fri. Jun 27th, 2014)
This article and podcast are the fifth in a series profiling candidates for the 2015 Corn Board.
Bruce Rohwer has served his fellow farmers extensively at the state and national level. Now, he hopes to continue to do so in a new capacity as a member of the National Corn Growers Association Corn Board.
Bruce is running for election to the Corn Board in the hopes of bringing local perspective to the national level while working to find solutions that take the broader perspective into account. By focusing on the future, he believes the organization will best be able to work through evolving situations and effectively grow markets for corn at home and abroad.
"In addition to the technical work of helping develop new uses for corn or better traits for corn production, NCGA must continue the political path of involvement to defend and promote scientific advancement in corn farming," he said. "Whether that means influencing legislative or regulatory processes, we have to be involved beyond just everyday production."
As a member of the Corn Board, Bruce would bring with him a firm grasp of the policy development process and the ability to articulate agricultural issues to a wider audience. A strong advocate of constructive team dynamics, he would facilitate consensus-building discussions with a results-driven focus.
"I can see issues from a multitude of perspectives because of my experience," said Rohwer. "I have a diversified operation with livestock. So, I can see the livestock producer's point of view. I have also had the privilege of serving on the board of a company that manufactures food. This provided me with another different perspective on the point of view held by another important corn market. I have a grasp of our customers' perspective and knowledge of the political process in which we must be involved."
Rohwer operates a corn and soybean farm along with his son and daughter, in addition to owning a drainage tillage business. Along with a neighbor, he also runs a sow farrow-to-finish operation.
Currently, Rohwer serves as the custodian of records for the NCGA CornPAC and as a member of the NCGA Research and Business Development Action Team and the U.S. Grain Council's Middle East and Africa Action Team. At the state level, he is chair and past president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association and chair of the ICGA CornPAC.

The NCGA Corn Board election takes place during Corn Congress on July 16 in Washington.

The Ethics of Poverty
Course Code
Course Tutor
Dr Saladin Meckled-Garcia (Department of Political Science)
One 3,000 word essay
Credit Value
About this course
Are international institutions, like the WTO, violating the human rights of the poor across the world? Are we in affluent countries responsible for violating the rights of the poor? Is poverty itself a human rights violation? How should we define poverty and what is the relationship between poverty and development? How do both relate to human rights? What is the "resource curse" suffered by countries with natural resources? Should international trade be subject to human rights standards or conditionality, and would these solve the problem of global poverty? What is international law and does it enshrine privileges that should be reformed in order to address global inequalities? This module addresses international and global institutions in terms of their relationships to poverty. It asks students to consider and debate whether different accounts of fairness and rights can be applied to institutional questions of international significance. The module covers theoretical approaches and conceptual frameworks such as cosmopolitanism, statism, self-determination, development, meanings of poverty, fairness, human rights, fair trade, and global resources, in order develop answers to these questions. Students are encouraged to take up positions and defend them in debate as part of their preparation for writing an essay that sets out a clear ethical argument.
We use real life, practical examples from international politics to consider the ways that poverty might be addressed as an ethical priority in the modern world.

Super Mario 64 HD level remake gets cease and desist
Did you get a chance to play the Super Mario 64 HD remake posted on the interwebs several days ago? The remake was built by Erik Roystan Ross, a computer science student who has been documenting some of his work with the Unity engine on his personal blog.
It was a beautiful recreation of the first level of Super Mario 64 that you could play in your browser with the Unity plugin. Ross was also offering a free download of the level as well. While it was missing some key components, like the boss battle, Koopa shell riding, and Wing Cap, it had all the nuances of the classic Bomb-Omb Battlefield.
However, Nintendo's legal team has gotten word of the remake and issued a copyright infringement notice to Ross. This means that both the browser- and download-based versions have been removed.
Ross states on his blog that he really didn't think that the project would become so popular, and "was hoping it would function primarily as a educational tool and a novelty".
According to Eurogamer.net, Nintendo's notice mentions a copyright breach for "Nintendo's Super Mario 64 video game (U.S. Copyright Reg. No. PA0000788138), including but not limited to the audiovisual work, computer program, music, and fictional character depictions". The article also mentions that Ross had ripped several meshes from Super Mario Galaxy, but had done the art and animations himself.
You can check out what the Super Mario 64 HD remake looked like in the YouTube video below.

José Posada, "The Seven Vices" zinc etching, date unknown
The Mexican Immigrant Generation
The story of the Mexican poor at the turn of the last century is one of great complexity and turmoil. We continue to experience echoes of this past and how it affects our American story as much as it's the history of our southern neighbor. It is in our best interest to view this history by observing the journeys of the poor voiceless immigrants, since it is in their hands that this struggle has plainly grown, worked and sorted. These days a leisured consumer culture obviates any pressing need to regard the voiceless. Such indifference allows us to celebrate affluence at the total expense of those who are in need. Let us also be careful to not take the typical route to demonize the rich (to be sure, the wealthy are not the only ones who are guilty of hating the less fortunate), instead let our thoughts of the Mexican immigrant poor be a subtle critique on the attitude of indifference itself.
The historian Manuel G. Gonzales tells us, in his book Mexicanos, the period leading up to, during, and after the Mexican American War, was one of political disarray in Mexico. He notes that "…the presidency [of Mexico] changed hands seventy-five times from 1821 to 1876…" (115). This chaotic time leads to the extreme leadership of Profirio Diaz (1830-1915), who is known as a president of Mexico, who then became a dictator. His off-and-on thirty-something year rule is commonly referred to as: "El Profiriato." During El Profiriato Diaz had many incongruities that mainly favored the entrepreneurial sectors of Mexican society. Yes, this helped the Mexican peso, but the also pushed the Mexican workers downward. If you didn't happen to own a grand Hacienda, and you had the misfortune to live in poverty, then you were treated like a second-class citizen, and in some cases, you were treated like a slave. This transition from an agrarian way of life to one of manufacturing, mining, foreign investment etc. left the Mexican peasants and the ever-downcast Indians to continue to immigrate northward, to an American way of life, but not always a better way of life.
The numbers of north-bound immigrants during El Profiriato didn't really match the staggering numbers of refugees, workers, and countless others who wanted to get away from the tumult of the Mexican Revolution that began in 1910. The antiestablishment idealism of Ricardo Flores Magón (1874 – 1922) led the battle cry against Diaz and the corrupt El Profiriato. The importance of Magón's message was radical and it was a cry for the peasants, the over-worked, the poor and the so-called peons. Magón was a journalist, and head of the leading revolutionary paper: Regeneración, famous for its anarchist fervor. He hated Diaz and his cronies, "…the Old Buzzard [Diaz] watches from his perch high on the rocks, fixing his eye on the giant that advances without even understanding the reason for the insurrection, because tyrants simply do not understand the right to rebel" (159). Magón's life may not be a success story, but it is a story whereby he fought for those couldn't see a way out.
Magón's message was clear; he disliked Diaz, as much as he disliked government in general. He believed in dissent, the right to rebel, the necessity of discord. With a definite unconscious ring of Hegelian (dialectical) philosophy Magón writes: "All is transformed be discord: it dissolves and creates, destroys and creates" (272). For Magón, if the peasant didn't rise up to save himself and to (crucially) bring with him his fellow man, it was his own fault. None of this anarchistic thinking helped Magón personally—although he was favored by the revolutionaries, he was essentially exiled by El Profiriato to a very un-anarchistic America. His anarchy aimed not to replace government, but to do away with it in favor of a decentralized communal leadership. This radical position makes sense if you grew up poor in nineteenth-century Mexico, a country that shuffled through political challenges with dizzying rapidity. His affinity with Marxism is hard to trace, yet there are strong similarities in both. Magón's anarchist 'bible' was The Conquest of Breadby the anarchist Peter Kropotkin, first published in 1892. Magón wasn't a success story and he died in an American prison. He was a martyr for working-class people and for his radical thought.
If we are to focus again of the Mexican peasant, we can't say with any assurance exactly how willing s/he wanted to stay in Mexico amidst the chaos of revolution. People will get tired of stepping over dead bodies, and the best of the bad choices had to be to head up north. As we know, great swaths the American Southwest once belonged to Mexico. This was part of what eased the transition from one country to the next. Add to that, the fact that America was quickly becoming 'the land of opportunity' (more so if you were white, but the resilient Mexicans didn't let this stop them). That the Mexican immigrants had to settle for agrarian work comes as no surprise, Diaz worked hard to pull away from an agrarian Mexico. For a good segment of the Mexican poor of that time an agrarian life was all they knew.
How infrequently do we recognize the insufferable conditions these people had to face in those days? Because of the trenchant American racism and the need for cheap labor, the Mexicans lived in squalor in small shacks by the fields they worked. José Aguayo, in his essay Los Betabeleros, recounts the stats: "Between 1900 and 1930, more than a million Mexicans came to the United States to work…Forty-five thousand came to Colorado in search of rumored high wages in the tending of sugar beets" (108). A lot of effort was spent to recruit Mexicans to this kind of hard field work here in Colorado, and the workers were frequently exploited and humiliated in the process. In the fine book on the Spanish-speaking peoples of the Southwest North from Mexico, Cary McWilliams also talks about the not so sweet conditions of the downtrodden sugar beet workers. When the workers had to be transported, the driver would throw a tarp over the heads of the workers packed onto bed of the truck: "outwardly the truck looks as thought it were loaded with a cargo of potatoes" (168). Evidently the people had to be treated like mere cargo, since the employers were working under the fear of the 'Emigrant Agent Law' of that time. The not-so-Great Western Sugar Company's history rests on the sweaty backs of all those un-named workers it abused for the sake of profit and progress. Karl Marx aptly writes in the Communist Manifesto: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles" (57). Yet, the ability to question, critique and rise above such problems, is up to the workers themselves. After all, they are the ones who have to sell their labor to the bosses. It is in the realization that this labor creates the value that the peasant can then decide to transgress the dominant ideology that binds him in the alienating practice of exploitation, greed and willful subordination.
When workers do find it within themselves to organize, the effort doesn't always turn in their favor. A case in point were the strikes against CF&I (Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.), in the early part of the twentieth-century. That the Colorado coal strike began in a snowstorm is prescient in its apparent bad luck. M. Edmund Vallejo details the strike in his essay Recollections of the Colorado Coal Strike 1913-1914. "On September 23, 1913, eight thousand miners and their families in the Colorado coal fields left their company owned homes in the mining camps during a blinding snowstorm and moved into tents…" (90).The workers didn't get what they wanted, in fact the violence culminated in the Ludlow Massacre of April 20th, 1914, resulting in several deaths, including women and children. The strikers were of many nationalities and there were a significant amount of Mexican immigrants that worked in the mines and fought the losing labor battles. It's made clear by such turmoil that the narrative doesn't always end happily. Marx and Engels' urging to create the "dictatorship of the proletariat" as cited by V.I. Lenin, looks good in theory, but who is usually to be counted among the dead?—the proletariat.
At the very least, we can empathize with the labor struggles throughout the twentieth century and into the new millennium. Recent reactionary trends continue to ostracize the Mexican immigrant. It goes without saying that the controversy has its (now covert) racist elements. Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, a vigilante volunteer group who 'police' the Mexican/American border, writes an elaborate mission statement on the Minuteman website that talks a lot about assimilation, or better said the Mexican immigrant's refusal to assimilate into the American way of life. Assimilation is basically where the immigrant is tacitly required to become wholly a part of the dominate culture. A more humanistic stance would speak of acculturation, whereby the immigrant works to become part of the dominant culture, while respectfully retaining his/her own cultural heritage. Gilchrist is too flat to envision such nuance. His job is to instill fear and paranoia: "The huge amount of money, maybe even hundreds of billions of dollars, saved annually, by eliminating the extraordinary costs of sustaining an impoverished illegal alien population, could be diverted to programs for the betterment and enhancement of the nation's infrastructure and its society…" Just think of all the money we can save if everybody thought exactly like this. Gilchrist's idealism doesn't propose reform the current immigration laws. He simply reacts and wants to fight in the name of the status quo. If we keep everything the same, the world will be a better place, multiculturalism is simply an aberration. The overheated immigration debate morphs people down to one category: illegal. The anarchist Magón comes in handy again to challenge the lazy notion that things are better left as they are: "While the poor acquiesce to being poor, while the oppressed acquiesce to being slaves their will be no liberty, there will be no progress […] Blessed be discord!" (272).
We can't be afraid of the negative to stir up the order of the same. The indifference of our leisured way of life doesn't always grasp this, the more we look away, the more people's lives are lost. If we can't see them, they don't exist. Mexican immigration isn't new. Their plight is an American story too. Our commonly accepted history denies this, probably because it doesn't fit into the typical Anglo narrative. It is in this denial of the Mexican contribution to the American story that the truth is lost and real people are overlooked. Indifference breeds ignorance whether we face it or not. When we close our eyes, we close our minds.

Another February illness
Nearly a year after being sidelined due to a stomach bug, I've been hit again with a horrible illness. I think it started sometime over the weekend; yesterday wasn't the best of days; and then last night I had a fairly sleepless night as my stomach was killing me. Today it's been a toast and water day -- I don't feel like eating anything, and I have pretty much rotated between the couch, bed and toilet all morning. Dare I say it, but I'm starting to feel better this afternoon.
I always say the body has a way of knowing what's right and wrong and forcing rest whether I feel like I need or not. It's kind of frustrating, though, that I've had such an up and down winter with a couple of bad colds and now this.
I definitely won't be running today, and I'm not sure if I'll be ready for anything tomorrow. It's certainly been an interesting training cycle with my health. At this time of the year it's usually the weather that's the factor, but I obviously need to work on a few things to take care of myself.

Last week Instagram released video functionality to their app to compete with Twitter's Vine app. Many small businesses are already on Instagram, so how will Instagram video play a role? The ability to add a video to Instagram provides more flexibility to the messages that your brand can share. If your small business is considering adding Instagram videos to your social media marketing mix, here are a few ideas from Business2Community:
- Before & Afters - Before and after videos are a wonderful testament to the effectiveness of a product or service. Showing a potential customer the end result of working with you may prove to be the final push that causes them to reach out.
- Previews - Getting ready to launch a new product or service? A 15-second sneak peek may be the perfect way to build excitement and anticipation about its release.
- Mini Commercials - Just because you are a small business doesn't mean you can't have commercials. Instagram video capabilities give you everything you need to produce short, free, and meaningful communications with your audience.
- Customer Testimonials - Customer testimonials may be the most powerful use of Instagram. Anytime a customer brings up how your product or service benefits them (saved time, saved money, increased production, improved sales, etc.), simply take out your phone and ask them for a testimonial on the spot. Not everyone will say yes, but the ones that do will be giving you pure gold video.
How will you use Instagram video to spread the word about your business?

Joseph Thomas Lowe, also known as Rowdy Joe Lowe, born 1846 in Illinois.
Joe Lowe and his wife Kate wandered into Kansas from Illinois where they set up a combination saloon-brothel in West Wichita,
Kansas. Following the boom railroad towns they opened similar establishments in Ellsworth and Newton, Kansas.
Joe shot and killed a man in Newton named A. M. Sweet after Sweet threatened to kill Joe. The Topeka Kansas Daily Commonwealth
reported Joe immediately surrendered to the Sheriff. In Wichita, Joe fled custody after killing Edward Beard. Delano, Kansas-
Gunman Edward T. Beard, AKA Red Beard, died two weeks after being shot by gunman Rowdy Joe Lowe. Beard was at odds with the
dreaded gunman Rowdy Joe Lowe, who had built a saloon next to Beard's (winning in a race to see who could build a dance hall
first). On October 27, Beard, drinking heavily, accused one of his prostitutes, Jo DeMerritt, of stealing from him. DeMerritt
threw a bottle at him and fled next door to Lowe's saloon. The drunken Beard followed her, staggered into Lowe's, and in the
smoke-filled place mistook another prostitute, Annie Franklin, for DeMerritt. He fired a shot which struck the woman in the
stomach. Lowe then grabbed a shotgun and exchanged shots with Beard. Lowe's shot missed but Beard's bullet grazed Lowe's neck.
A stray bullet struck and wounded bystander Bill Anderson who was standing at the bar. Beard fled and Lowe, as drunk as his
quarry, went after him. Both men, mounted on horses and racing out of town, had a running gunfight. Lowe caught up with Beard
near the river bridge and emptied his shotgun into him, then rode back to town where he turned himself in to the sheriff.
Beard was found critically wounded in the arm and thigh, loaded with buckshot. He clung to life for two weeks, but through
loss of blood died on this date.
He wandered through Texas and finally 'settled' in Denver, Colorado. While drunk and belligerent Lowe insulted a local
Denver Colorado police officer. As tempers flared both men went for their guns and Joe was shot dead.
Joe Lowe is buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Denver, Colorado.

I have yet to share my response to the pope's Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium. This is not because I don't think it's important, but because I've been busy reading and thinking about it. I still haven't finished studying it–it's more than 200 pages–but with the ongoing criticism from conservatives threatening to confuse the issues, I don't want to wait until I've finished it to state my position on it.
The first thing I want to mention is its attempt to reinforce basic principles, while preparing a better way for the Church. For that reason, I think it might provide a model of sorts for what I've been trying to figure out here. There are obvious differences: Pope Francis's exhortation is directed to the Church; I've been trying to describe community as the source of effective political representation. My basic assumption has been that political representatives should have roots in the community and share some of its material interests. This would assure they can be counted on to protect those interests. To be clear, this was never suggested in the pope's exhortation, however, the question of how that might might be arranged will probably bring out the critics, as it brought out recent accusations from within the church that the pope is a Marxist. With that in mind, I would like to begin by saying, as he did, I'm not a Marxist or a socialist.
There are several remarkable statements in this document. As I understand it, it acknowledges that change is necessary in the Church, including changes to its 'structure'. It also demonstrates sympathy with the problems of our secular nation and presents a desperately needed criticism of 'unfettered capitalism'. You would think the need would be evident even to conservatives, but this is the part most singled out by critics.
There have been admiring responses to this address as well, some of them from the left, but others from members of the Church. I've sensed that Catholics are unsure about how to discuss it with a secular audience, but I think it can and should be discussed. We just need to discover the best way to do that. In other words, we need to have the conversation about the conversation.
When I began writing here I hoped to talk about positive things as much as possible. Then the Arab Spring and NATO collided in Libya and there haven't been many hopeful things to talk about. This may be changing, first in the U.S. government, and now in the Catholic Church.
The humility of the pope's exhortation is perfectly suited to these dangerous times, and the act of expressing this vision for the future is a generous thing, especially when the road map isn't entirely clear on all points. I've spent a fair amount of time here, writing about the importance of a good conversation. This is what I had in mind.

Boiled eggs in my salad
You know, I thought I had mentioned where I buy eggs in my post on loving eggs but I realised, when deciding which producer I wanted to talk about for My Mindful Kitchen this month, I hadn't noted any farms in particular. And as my brother recently spoke with me of his intention to buy good eggs but his frustration at not knowing where to start, I thought I'd drop some names.
We're spoilt on the Mornington Peninsula with access to free-range eggs from chickens who are truly able to roam free, forage for slugs and peck their greens. This is how chickens should live, they should wander on pasture and play and dust bathe with their beaks and such intact. If you raise chickens they can eat your scraps and contribute to a sustainable land cycle. And in return you get an incredibly nutritious gift (how special fresh eggs are) and a few loyal friends. If you don't have your own chickens, or space to perhaps ponder getting your own, you can find people who are producing happy "green" pastured eggs and share in the goodness. Seek out some farms, visit your farmers market and ask questions, talk to friends, hunt around...you can use this guide to do a little research and find a producer you want to support. Generally speaking, you need to get out of the supermarket and find eggs at a market, local butcher or specialty shop. Don't trust any old "free-range" label, as they may not be truly free-range, having only periodic access to outdoors yet still suffering in overcrowded, inhumane conditions. It may take more effort, but finding a good egg producer is something we all should and can do. Factory farming is horrific and we should not be supporting it.
Where I get my eggs Ideally I'll be gifted a carton full of eggs from my parents' chooks' (with a few duck eggs from mum's friend thrown in, which invariably get churned into super creamy ice-dream), but I also buy them from the shops. Nirvana Free-Range Eggs are from a farm out Langwarrin way, and you'll find their gorgeous, popular eggs at various producers around the Mornington Peninsula (Somers General Store, Merricks General Store and Bulk Wholefoods to name a few). Dee's Kitchen use Nirvana eggs in their brunch dishes, which only further encourages me to loiter at Dee's on the weekends. If I'm at the Mt Eliza Farmers Market early enough I can buy Hens of Hallora eggs, but usually it's Nirvana.
Storing So perhaps you've stocked up on some super fresh, green, pastured eggs (yay) and are curious as to where to store them? I keep fresh eggs in the cupboard or on my counter, as I use them pretty quickly and we live in a cooler climate region. However if I have a surplus I'll keep them in the fridge. Fresh eggs last a while, but to check whether they're still good I'll do the float test - submerge an egg in water and if it floats, well, don't eat it.
Let's boil and salad I love adding boiled eggs to my salad as a filling protein source and a meat alternative. Another mindful kitchen intention of mine is to cut down my meat consumption, and while eggs are an animal source of protein, green eggs have less of an environmental impact than beef. On this day I combined my boiled eggs with cooked barley (a terribly nutritious grain) and some pesto (a terribly nutritious sauce). In my practice as a dietitian I see many people who are confused about grains, notably wheat. While every body is different, I believe the key to healthy grain consumption is variety. And while barley is not something I eat regularly purely for a taste preference, Ben loves it so I throw it into the mix every now and then. Plus, I appreciate its fibre content. Many people inquire as to how I boil my eggs, as they often look perfect. To that I say, "thanks!"... I do take my egg boiling quite seriously. And indeed they are often perfect *dusts my shoulders off*. Sometimes me eggs are stubborn and basically the entire white comes off with the shell, but usually, yeah, they are pretty great. It's taken time to get there, some trial and error, and I describe my favoured method in the recipe below. So that's it! Happy egg eating, friends. I'd love it if you share in the comments below where you buy your eggs, if you have a particular producer you love. You might help out fellow readers who live near you!
Boiled Egg and Barley Salad with Pesto
Serves 2
4 free-range, pastured eggs
1 & 1/2 cups cooked Barley (I used pearl barley, but get hulled if you can and follow this link for cooking instructions. I also cook my grains in stock, as it provides an extra kick of flavour)
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 small clove Garlic, crushed 2 handfuls Kale (I used Cavolo Nero)
2 tablespoons Pinenuts, toasted
1 juicy Lemon
1-2 tablespoons Pesto (I used my homemade classic basil pesto)
Sea Salt and freshly cracked Black Pepper
Optional: a few small chopped radishes or some diced red onion, for crunch
1. to get the perfect hard-boiled eggs: place room-temperature eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water (allowing enough room for them to float). Bring them to the boil. As soon as they are boiling turn the heat off, cover with the saucepan lid and leave them for 7 minutes (2 minutes shorter for runnier yolk, 2 minutes longer for harder yolk). Drain the eggs and run them under cold water, then allow them to sit in cold water until completely chilled before peeling (I leave mine for ~15 minutes).
2. While the eggs are cooling, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then the kale and a small pinch of salt. Cook for a few minutes until soft, turing the heat down if required so the garlic doesn't burn.
3. Add the cooked barley to the bowls and top with the cooked, garlicy kale, then squeeze lemon juice over the top to taste. Toss to combine. Add the chopped radish or onion if using, followed by the boiled eggs cut in half. Drizzle the pesto over the top and scatter the toasted pinenuts. Season to taste with sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if desired.

Winning is Personal
Running is the most primeval of all physical activities. Pre-historic man ran simply to survive through hunting and gathering, as well as fleeing from predators. For early man success through running simply meant living to see the sun rise on another day.
Today, success is certainly defined in a much different way. Unfortunately, in the sports world success is too often associated with winning and to most laymen, winning means finishing first. But do you really have to finish first to be a successful runner? I would say most certainly not.
Success is far too often associated with some particular outcome, such as a championship, trophy, or medal. For some, success may mean having great wealth, fame, or a position of power. All of these definitions of success are really external in their nature. By external I mean these things are what others, or society usually expect. Too often we have to look to other people to let us know if we are a success.
Even when we are successful according to the external norms of society, it may never be enough. If we don't continue to better our previous levels and do more and more, then we may no longer feel successful. What a pity! So many people are walking around having accomplished great things, and are continuing to do great things, yet they feel like utter miserable failures.
Runners need to find a definition of success, which is personal and internal. A definition of success which they set, not one set by some running shoe advertisement, or local running statistics maniac who seems to know everyone's times and places from races during the last half century. In all reality success is a very subjective feeling. Success is really about how YOU feel about what you're doing. No one else can really define success for YOU.
Many individuals often look to some end product in defining their success as runners. A performance time, event run, or place in a race, are usually used as a measure of success. But running is a process; a long-term process in which about 99 percent is preparation and training, while only about one percent is performance or racing. Yet we judge our success so much on the one percent. What about the journey of running itself? Don't we feel success just by being out on the road or trail? I would hope all of us feel a great deal of success simply by being runners. Too often we forget the joys and pleasures that present themselves in our daily run. Maybe it's time we "stop and smell the roses," both literally and figuratively, as we run.
The act of running and moving is a joy in, and of itself. To feel successful you really don't need a race, a clock, or a measured distance. My wife, Jill, has won a number of Master's titles in very competitive races, yet she has not run a race in many, many years. Why? She really doesn't like to race, but she loves to run. I guess that's why she still runs 30 or so miles every week for the sheer pleasure of it. Is Jill not successful because she no longer races? I would say Jill is very successful in running because she loves to run and she is very happy about her running, much happier in fact than when she was dealing with expectations about race performances.
All of us have different goals for our running. No matter what the goal is, when we reach them we have a success story! In summer races goals will be reached and runners will feel good about their accomplishments.
I know so many runners who always finish in the back quarter of every race, yet they absolutely love to run and participate in races. Are they losers because they finish at the tail end of the field? No way! If they have met their own personal goal then they are successful. I guess the thing that makes running so unique is really the personal nature of the sport. Sure, you often compete against other people, but you always have some type of competition going on with yourself and your own personal, internal goals. The challenge may lie in just getting out the door each day or it may lie in trying to reach that marathon PR.
So set some personal goals and go after them! Don't worry about other people and their goals or what goals they think you should set. Other people can't set goals for you. Only you can decide what you want to accomplish! This is one of the basic premises of goal setting strategy.
Whatever your goal may be, when you reach it feel good about what you've done. Enjoy the feelings of success! Don't let others rain on your parade. When you reach a personal goal you deserve to feel good. Even though another runner may not understand your goals, then that's OK. Winning is a personal thing! Enjoy your personal wins!

Plumbing dysfunction are issues we don't look forward to. As we are wrapped up with our day to day schedule, giving our peace of mind to plumbing issues is least of our priority. In a hurry to fix such issues, we tend to make mistakes with our plumbing system. I am going to highlight few of such mistakes, so as you can be more cautious next time when you deal with any such situation.
Poor quality plumbing equipment
It's quite a common practice, to settle for quantity over quality. Plumbing equipments tend to be one of our major investments, money wise. Equipments only with five star rating should be purchased. Now what's the significance of number of stars? They directly or indirectly denote the efficiency and the power consumption of the appliance. Using five star appliance will, directly show on your electricity bills in profitable terms.
Compromising with the shape and quality of pipe
The networks of plumber pipes are installed in a very discrete way. Hidden underneath the floor or they make their way through the walls. Now the problem becomes that, even when a minor problem arises, huge amount of exploration is required to locate the problem. Also pipes are exposed to humid condition for prolonged period of time; the metal base tends to corrode. Thus always properly galvanized metallic pipes or PVC pipes should only be used. They tend to have long life and can be trusted too.
Winter precautions to be taken
During winter as the temperature seems to go down, the water inside the exposed pipes freezes. So pipes which are exposed to the cold temperature should be cut out from the network, to achieve this, valves should be installed in the junctions, which we always tend to forget. Also the pipes used should be properly insulated and jacketed. These simple steps keep water flowing during winter. Contact best Toronto plumber for solving all the plumbing mistakes.
Inexperienced handling of plumbing equipment
With little or no knowledge, tend to jump to solve plumbing issues. For example, if your water heater stops working, the reason could range from non working of thermostat, or simple issue with the circuit breaker. But if the equipment is opened with no clue about its functioning, it may lead to permanent damage. Either the manual which comes along with the equipment should be followed in the supervision of someone experienced. Or professional help should is advisable.
Blindly Trusting your plumber
Problems with plumbing suddenly endow us with lots of stress. In hurry to relieve ourselves, we call for a plumber without inquiring about his skills and experience. It leads to dragging of the issue to even a more critical point. So ideal way is to firstly check for the plumbers permit, and then know about his past work and efficiency. It helps you with the right choice. Trusted professional agencies like Plumber Toronto always keep learning sessions for their plumbers in order to keep them updated.
So the next time you take decisions revolving your plumbing system, do remember the above tips. With a little caution, you can definitely restore peace of mind.

DLD 2013:Telefónica introduces mobile-to-mobile money transfers and digital wallet
|mpass Geld senden: money transfer in real time using your mobile phone
|O2 Wallet: a farewell to the old-fashioned purse
"Soon, children will only know from history books what a wallet and hard cash are", said René Schuster, CEO of Telefónica Germany. "Mobile payment with your smartphone has arrived in Germany. Our customers will soon be transferring money mobile-to-mobile and paying in shops using their digital wallet."
mpass Geld senden: transferring money using your mobile phone
Telefónica is the first network operator in Germany to enable its customers to perform mobile-to-mobile transfers using the 'mpass Geld senden' service. This enables money to be transferred from one mpass account to another, virtually in real time. Compared to traditional bank transfers, the process is simple and convenient. There is no need to disclose the recipient's bank details. All you need is their mobile phone number. The use of the transfer service is handled securely by the mpass app and requires the user to log in using their user name and password. The process of sending money is easy and free of charge. Simply select the field "Geld senden", enter the recipient number, amount and an explanation or message for the transfer, then complete the payment. The transfer is performed practically in real time, so both the sender and recipient can see the transaction after just a few seconds. The user can obtain a list of all transactions via the app. The transfer service is available to customers who have signed up to use mpass in shops and have installed the mpass app. This is possible with mobile phones using the operating systems Android and iOS. Users must also perform a one-time registration process using the Postident procedure. The launch of the 'mpass Geld senden' service is planned for mid-February.
O2 Wallet: the electronic wallet has arrived
With O2 Wallet, Telefónica is offering a digital wallet that customers can use for contactless payment at shops accepting PayPass payments in Germany and around the world. A smartphone with NFC support and a corresponding NFC-capable SIM card are used for the digital wallet. Paying with O2 Wallet is simple, convenient and secure. A PIN must be entered to use the digital wallet and protect against abuse. The NFC SIM card, on which all of the payment and security data is stored, provides additional security. The high and well-established security standards of the financial sector, which are being used for cashless payments, are also applied. The customers' bank details are also afforded special protection with the use of a 'trusted service manager'. This means that they remain solely with the credit institution and Telefónica has no access to them. The launch of O2 Wallet is planned for mid-February in the form of a 'friendly user test'. Here, customers volunteer to participate and their experiences are fed back into the continued development of the electronic wallet. O2 customers with an NFC-capable smartphone - either the Samsung Galaxy ACE2 or S3 - and who have ordered the free NFC pack with an NFC-capable SIM card are eligible to take part. Once inserted, the user will automatically receive a text message with a download link, which allows them to install the Wallet. To link a card to the digital wallet, the tester then registers to pay using mpass in shops. The 'mpass O2 Wallet Card' is now automatically added to the digital wallet - and the customer can start shopping. Over the course of the year, Telefónica will be expanding its wallet service to include additional applications and functions such as other payment cards, vouchers and loyalty schemes. The first bank will shortly be joining the wallet scheme, allowing the integration of a digitalised credit card. For more information on mobile payments: www.telefonica.de/presse/mobiles-bezahlen

It's called 'Only God Forgives' and it's a brutally violent revenge thriller
A new trailer for Only God Forgives, Ryan Gosling's reunion with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn, has been released. Scroll down and click 'play' to watch it.
The film stars Gosling as an American criminal living in exile in Bangkok, where he runs a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs business. When his brother is killed for murdering a prostitute, his mother lands in town and orders her son to exact revenge.
Kristin Scott Thomas co-stars as the mother, an apparently monstrous character Refn (pictured below) has described as "Lady Macbeth crossed with Donatella Versace".
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last Month (May) and received a mixed reaction from critics. It's said to be incredibly violent and Gosling, brooding as ever, utters just 17 lines of dialogue during its 90-minute running time.
Only God Forgives opens in the US on July 19 before arriving in UK cinemas on August 2.

International Jewellery London, the most prominent UK show for the jewellery trade is almost here!
Open from Sunday 1 - Wednesday 4 September and housed at Earls Court, it promises to showcase all aspects of the jewellery industry and provide a most sophisticated and comprehensive jewellery show. As the UK's premier jewellery trade exhibition, IJL is the perfect place to discover the latest trends, source new and exciting products such as loose gems, packaging and tools, meet others in the trade (including other GoJD members) and attend the industry's leading seminar programme.
Hundreds of the world's leading brands and designers have stands at IJL and many of them choose to unveil their new collections at the event. Areas displaying the new designers promoted by 'Kickstart', 'Bright Young Gems' and the 'Lonmin Design Innovation Award' provide a showcase for the freshest design talent, alongside more established jewellers.
GoJD members exhibiting at IJL 2013 include:
Jura Jewelry - Stand C129
Jura will have live presentations of tools for stone setters and be demonstrating his method of stone setting. Be sure to visit his stand if you have an interest in stone setting or jewellery photography.
Jessica Nam - Bright Young Gems Stand C61
Jessica has been selected as a winner of the Bright Young Gems Competition for IJL 2013. She is a Birmingham based jewellery artist with a passion for precious metals, opulent gems and sculptural forms. Jessica meticulously handcrafts her creations in gold and silver, which often encase sparkling gemstones in an array of sumptuous colours.
Scarlett Erskine - Vanilla Ink Stand B51
Scottish Jeweller, Scarlett Erskine will be taking her latest collection 'Exposed' to the Vanilla Ink stand at IJL this year. Scarlett Erskine is part of Vanilla Ink Studios based in Dundee, the group of jewellers who raised money through a unique crowd-funding scheme, Kickstarter.com earlier this year, giving them the opportunity to exhibit at IJL 2013.
Her collection is an alternative range of jewellery inspired by textures of the skin and structures of skin cells. With both timeless and statement pieces, it is appealing to fashionistas as well as those with more classical tastes. Scarlett's pieces will also be featured on the IJL Runway.
Leanne T Evans - Vanilla Ink Stand B51
Leanne is a Scottish designer creating a distinctive range of geometric, silver pieces inlaid with precious and semi precious stones and will also be at IJL sharing the Vanilla Ink stand.
Leanne is fascinated by people's minds and personalities. The new collection for 2013/14, entitled "Edges" takes inspiration from strong, bold individuals which in turn takes imagery from the dynamic lines and forms found in rocks and minerals. These beautiful and interesting shapes are translated into unique silver designs that are enhanced with semi-precious and precious stones.
Alan Hadley - GETi Stand B112
Yes, it's true! Head honcho here at the GoJD will be exhibiting in his capacity as the Director of GETi Ltd, the long established Black Zirconium and Titanium wedding ring maker. Serving both individual clients and stockists throughout the world, GETi is also a UK agent for Sisma laser welders and engravers and offers, along with machinery sales, a subcontract laser engraving service.
Be sure to drop by and say 'hello' to fellow guild members when you're visiting :-)

Romanian interior minister Liviu Dragnea resigned on Monday (2 February) after just 13 days in office, blaming insufficient funds allocated for his ministry in the new budget proposals, as the country's economy worsens and the government looks to potential EU aid.
The second interior minister to resign in less then a month, Mr Dragnea, a Social Democrat, argued he could not fulfill his brief to descentralise administrative powers and increase citizens' security with the current budgetary proposals.
The spending cuts were part of the new government's efforts to keep the deficit at two percent of the country's GDP, as the economic crisis has already taken its toll on a steeply devaluating currency and with growth expected to plummet to 1.8 percent in 2009, down from 7.8 percent in the last year.
In its latest forecast published mid-January, the European Commission warned that Romania's deficit could reach 7.5 percent of GDP, after it registered five percent deficit in 2008. The EU's maximum allowable deficit is three percent.
Romania's bid to joining the eurozone in 2014 might be delayed if the country fails to keep its public spending under control.
Last week, Reuters reported that Romania had started talks with the EU commission on a potential rescue, after President Traian Basescu said a €6-7 billion loan might be needed.
The commission later said no official requests had been made so far. An EU-only aid deal is unlikely to be granted to Romania, but rather a mixed package including a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as in the case in Latvia, which secured a mixed EU-IMF loan of €7.5 billion.
Bucharest's new centre-left coalition government - in power since November's election - has so far been reluctant to seek help from the IMF, with President Traian Basescu saying last week he might oppose such a move due to concerns over any stringent conditions imposed by the fund.
An IMF delegation in Bucharest last week said a rescue package was not on the agenda.
There have been no mass protests in Romania so far, in contrast to its southern neighbour Bulgaria, where riots broke out earlier this month as fears of economic pain and anger over poor policy-making reached a boiling point.
But trade unions are already threatening to go on strike in Romania, while wage freezes and spending cuts similar to those in Hungary and Latvia - which have received EU-IMF rescue packages - could yet spark protests.

Three members of Expedition 49 arrived at their home for the next four months. Transported via their Soyuz MS-02 spacecraft, the new crew members will now get to work integrating with the crew already aboard the International Space Station and preparing to conduct some serious orbital science.
Flight engineers Andrey Borisenko and Sergey Ryzhikov of Roscosmos, as well as Shane Kimbrough of NASA, docked with the outpost's Poisk module at 5:52 a.m. EDT (9:52 GMT) on Oct. 21, some 251 statute miles above southern Russia.
A few hours later at 8:20 a.m. EDT (12:20 GMT), hatches between the Soyuz and ISS were opened. The incoming crew joined Expedition 49 commander Anatoly Ivanishin, NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Takuya Onishi who have been living on board the orbiting lab since July.
As the vehicle's designation implies, this is only the second time this version of the spacecraft has been sent aloft. The mission was launched atop a Soyuz-FG booster at 4:05 a.m. EDT (08:05 GMT) on Oct. 19 from Site 31/6.
This past week saw an uptick in launch activity toward the space station. On Oct. 17, Orbital ATK launched their S.S. Alan Poindexter Cygnus cargo ship to the ISS via the company's newly re-engined Antares 230 rocket. That flight got under way at 7:45 p.m. EDT (23:45 GMT) from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport's Pad 0A, located near Chincoteague, Virginia.
Cygnus will arrive at the orbiting laboratory on Sunday morning, Oct. 23, giving the newly arrived crew a couple days to get accustomed to their new home.
While the space station's crew complement is back up to six, that number won't last long. In about 10 days, Ivanishin, Rubins, and Onishi will board the Soyuz MS-01 that they had arrived in, undock the spacecraft, and then return to Earth. This is expected to occur on Oct. 30.

Factors to Consider When Buying Used Tires
The type of tires used play an important role not only in your car's performance, but also to your overall safety. It serves as the interface between your vehicle and the road. Therefore, if you are looking for used tires, you need to be aware on what to look for and what to avoid.
You have to know which is worth buying to prevent costly problems in the future. Taysom Tire, Muffler & Auto Repair shares that it's important to have knowledge of the basics, so you can feel assured that you are getting the right tires for your car. Read on to know the factors you should consider.
Just like other things, tires age from the inside out. Sometimes, problems are difficult to detect. Therefore, avoid purchasing a tire that is more than six years old. The rubber compound of a tire can deteriorate, whether or not the tire is currently in use.
It is advisable to follow the auto-manufacturer's guidelines on the size of the tire that is optimal for your vehicle. In addition, all four tires should match, unless the manual indicates otherwise.
To choose the right one, knowing the amount of tread remaining is important. You can test the depth of the tread by inserting a penny into the tread. Most common sizes of tires should have a depth of at least 6/32 inch. For a 13- or 14-inch tire, there should be a minimum of 4/32 inch.
It is ideal for all of the tires to possess the same pattern if you are purchasing a complete set. Alternatively, a replacement tire's pattern should match that of the others already on the vehicle.
You may also want to check tires for the type of construction, evenness of wear, and structural soundness. Inspect if there are improper repairs and liner damages. If you are on a tight budget, buying used tires is a great option. That does not necessarily mean, however, that you have to sacrifice quality. You need to do proper research before making a purchase.

Alright, there are just way to many people taking on to this trend, id like to thank jason, aka 93AccordEX for his inspiration to me and you can all thank me for making lip kits *cough* greddy & erebuni *cough* so popular HA! :laugh:
It is a given fact that 94-95 lips will look at fit better on a 90-91 accords, in the same fashion that 96-97 lips for the 92-93 accords..
The 5th Gen Lips are too long on the sides so those need to be cut so it will be flush wit the fender. Use a dremel and thug it out...dont forget to re-attatch the end cap so it doesnt look gay from behind.
As for making it contour our bumpers, that takes hell of a lot of bending, dont be afraid to break it or else your not gonna get anywhere with it..
Some of the screw holes line up, so do as many as you can that way, if not drill through the lip into the bottom of your stock bumper, i recommend taking off your stock bumper and flipping it upside down to get a better view of it...you can use various screws, liquid nails and some good ole fashion 3M red tape
That is basically it.....in a nutshell: Cut Sides, Bend, Install doesnt take a genius to figure that out...yet some of you dont like to search....
This ^ Applys for most lips, be warned that fiberglass lips do exist and will crack if to heavily bent...so i suggest getting urathane..or half urathane/abs plastic
Good Luck with your installs...Please dont cramp my style cuz i kno i am a unique 4g as of this moment

Illustrator: Sophie Blackall
Publisher: Schwartz & Wade (May 14, 2013)
Source: Purchased
Audience: Grades 2 to 5
Keywords: French History, Letter Carriers, Boxing
Description from GoodReads:
In Paris, France, there lived a humble postman named Lalouche. He was small, but his hands were nimble, his legs were fast, and his arms were strong. When his job was replaced by an electric car, he turned to boxing to support himself and his pet finch, Genevieve. But--"You? A boxer?" the fighters asked. "I could sneeze and knock you down!" Still, Lalouche refused to give up. And perhaps small Lalouche was just nimble . . . just fast . . . and just strong enough to beat his fierce competitors. This is a marvelous story, full of humor and heart, and illustrated by Sophie Blackall, winner of a New York Times Best Illustrated Award
My thoughts on the book:
This book may be pushing the extremes of the true description of nonfiction picture book. It is more a book of historical fiction. Though a postman named Lalouche did not really exist, French boxing did exist in the early nineteenth century. Electric cars were being created and experimented with in the late 1800's and early 1900's. It is this context of Paris, Frances in the late nineteenth century that author Matthew Olshan uses to create his story of a humble but very special postman.
What would it be like if the French postal system did decide to use sporty electric cars to deliver the mail? In The Mighty Lalouche, Olshan speculates how exactly the use of an electric car would provide an opportunity for the small, nimble and quick postman to become famous.
Lalouche did not know about boxing or what was expected of him. Ignoring those who laughed at him, Lalouche uses his special speed and strength to become a success.
Despite Lalouche's success in the ring, he missed his former occupation. I love these lines from the book -
"And yet stationery stores could make him sad, and envelopes, and above all, stamps."
"In his heart, Lalouche was still a postman."
And when his boss called him to say that the electric car was not working out. Lalouche was ready to return. "And just like that, Lalouche traded in his famous gloves and booties for a humble postman's uniform."
Matthew Olshan has provided young readers with an enchanting story and pieces of history that may be less familiar. Illustrator/artist, Sophie Blackall brings the story to life with her incredible artwork. I have always been amazed at any author who uses paper cutting as a means of creating illustrations. Her paper cuttings bring an extra layer and texture to The Mighty Lalouche. Read about Sophie Blackall's process to create the artwork for The Mighty Lalouche, click here.
This is one of my favorite picture books of 2013 and just a wonderful story. I encourage you to pick up a copy of this book from your local library or independent children's bookstore if you haven't seen it.

2012 Revolutions
I have always been hesitant to use the term resolution mostly because I associated it with not being happy and wanting to change. What better time for a resolution than the new year... a new start... a fresh slate... The only problem is the reset button on the scale does not take away the countless trips past the snacks on the counter, grabbing one delectable treat each time. I do have weight-loss as one of my "resolutions", which I will get to in a while, but there are a number of things I just would like to see happen in 2012, so rather than calling them resolutions, I am calling them Revolutions
" the act of resolving or determining upon an action or courseof action, method, procedure, etc."
I do prefer this definition to what it is in my head, but I have decided to take 2012 in the direction of revolution:
"a sudden, complete or marked change in something"
- Spend some time each day reading a devotional and bible verses, reflecting on what they mean to me
- Be the best dad I can to Carter and Caleb
- Cleaner eating - less sugar and sweets, more fruits and veggies
- Limit eating out to no more than one meal a week
- Smarter choices when I do eat out
- Stay injury free!!!
- Race weight by REV3 Knoxville 160-163 lbs (Jan 1 - 185 lbs)
- REV3 Knoxville Olympic - 2:15
- REV3 Wisconsin Dells - 2:15
- REV3 Cedar Point - Sub 5
- I recently read on Joel's Blog that he wanted to swim 250,000 yards in 2012. That number seems large, but when broken down, only amounts to 4800 a week. Did you know that a quarter million yards is over 10,000 laps in my pool? It comes out to over 142 miles.. just over the distance of an Ironman race. I am adding this to my to do list for 2012.
- I also saw a lot of chatter about people doing a swim set: 100x100s. Yep 10,000 Yards in one workout. Yep... 5.68 miles! Add that to the list as well.
- Increase FTP on the bike - 260 is the target
- Maintain sub 7s on a 10k
- More sub 20 minute 5ks!

Bloody Murder - A True Crime Podcast
True Crime
59 - The Maurizio Gucci Murder and The Kane Brothers
The Maurizio Gucci Murder and The Kane Brothers...
When former head of the Gucci fashion empire, Maurizio Gucci was gunned down on a spring morning in 1997, suspicions initially fell on his volatile and litigious family whom he'd out manoeuvred to get control of the company. However his bitter and dramatic ex-wife Patrizia was also a suspect. She and her personal psychic were known to delve into the black arts and it was no secret she wanted Maurizio dead.
The Three Kane brothers, Les, Brian, and Ray were all career criminals. They specialised in extortion and armed robbery on the grimy streets of Melbourne in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. One day the ratbag brothers took it too far when they tried to take on Great Bookie Robber Ray 'Chuck" Bennett.
