Film Review
Kill Bill: Vol. 2
Sword-swinging sequel segues into surprising storytelling
For all his flaws, Quentin Tarantino is—let's face it—a genius. His positively giddy enthusiasm for the film medium has created some of the wittiest, grittiest cultural touchstones of the last 20 years. His enthusiasm, however, makes him a hard filmmaker to pin down. Right now, Tarantino says he wants to direct the next James Bond film, his World War II drama Inglorious Bastards, his long-promised Vega Brothers project and part of pal Robert Rodriguez' comic book adaptation Sin City. Thanks to his scattershot interests, Q.T.'s only directed five films in the last 17 years. And two of those (Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2) are actually one movie.
Film Interview
On the Q.T.
An interview with Kill Bill: Vol. 2 star Michael Madsen
Although he's been in nearly 100 movies (from the acclaimed Thelma & Louise to the action-packed Relic to the family-friendly Free Willy), actor Michael Madsen will be forever burned into the minds of moviegoers as the malevolent Mr. Blonde in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 debut Reservoir Dogs.
Idiot Box
The Cutting Edge
"The Swan" on FOX
I love TV. I really do. But I'm beginning to think that it's some kind of sick, abusive relationship. There are times that TV just doesn't treat me with the slightest ounce of respect. There are times when TV blatantly insults my intelligence. And there are times when I just want to smack TV upside its big, fat cathode ray. Take, for example, "The Swan."

I got a 16oz glass of this that poured a cloudy amber orange color with a nice off-white head. The aroma was that of a cherry wheat scent. The taste was mild with a cherry and wheat taste delivering a slightly sweet tone. Was ok but could really use some more cherry flavor here. A decent fruit/wheat beer but there are better ones on the market.

Served in a nonic pint glass at the brewpub.
The final beer of my Flossmoor Station adventure. What a ride, indeed. It pours a clear light pale amber topped by finger of white foam. The nose comprises wheat, rice, and cherry. I'm not sure if saying this is too straightforward makes sense, but that's how my brain is processing this. The taste holds more of the same, though the cherry comes through a bit stronger than in the smell. Honestly, this helps quite a bit. The body is a hefty light, with a very light moderate carbonation and a finish that comes close to drying. Overall, this fares better than the raspberry, but still isn't all that great. It's pretty drinkable, but the desire isn't fully there.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a hazy light orange color with a bit of brown. The nose is some sweet cherries with a bit of dry grain and wheat in the background. Taste is overly sweet with cherries dominaing the entire palate. Feel is a bit cloying. Drinks okay and is refreshing as a summer beer, but not something I would really want again.

On tap at the brew pub, grrr, another attempt at a fruit beer...A super dirty river water mud brown, ok retention and lacing...The aroma is totally dead, can't get a thing at all...Taste is overly sweet and generic syruo with a light wheat middle, and a metallic finish. No redeeming qualities in this one at all, skip it.

Had on tap at Flossmoor. Dug around for older notes since I had it yesterday. Compared and wrote this review.
A- Poured a super hazy light reddish orange color. Very small white head came up and went nowhere since it was at the tip of the glass. No real lacing on the glass at all.
S- Pretty simple and to the point. Sweet cherries mixed with a huge wheat undertone. Some light alcohol in the backend. The wheat almost has a musty smell too it.
T- The taste was a simple combo of cherries and wheat. Almost a sweet cherry with a long wheaty flavor. Alcohol comes in the backing of it..nothing too much. The wheat does taste a little funky but in a bad kind of way.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is a little lacking and makes it heavy than what it should be. Cherry notes and wheat left on the palate with a wheaty alcohol in the aftertaste. Flavors were not blending well together and it tasted like a mess.
D- Even with the little bit I had last night I still had a hard time choking this down. This is a beer for people who do not like craft I think as it seems like it would be geared to them. Flossmoor has a lot more to offer and you should check those out first.

Poured into a plastic pint glass. Review from voice recorder.
Color is a very hazed peach color. Definitely unfiltered wheat. Filled to the top of the cup so no head.
Aroma: Just like SA Cherry wheat. Sweet cherries with wheat. Maybe some clove or coriander. Very straight forward.
Taste: Very sweet. Cherries. Nothing tart. Again, like SA Cherry wheat which I was never a fan of. Just basically wheat and cherries. Not to much else.
Mouthfeel: Creamy. Kind of bitter. Medium bodied with a medium carbonation. A bit lower. Ends very sticky.
Overall, it is an easy drinking beer if you are in the mood. Maybe on a hot summer day it would be alright. It is what it is and I knew somewhat what it would taste like. I don't want to much of it.

On tap at Flossmoor Station pre-DLD.
Pours cloudy red with minimal head.
Aroma is somewhat simple: cherries, wheat, and a little medicinal note.
Flavor has a decent cherry aspect, but a considerable medicinal cough syrup note sort of counteracts this. Very sweet and a little wheaty. They claim this is tart, but it's really not.
Palate is medicinal and somewhat cloying. Medium-bodied with fairly low carbonation.
Overall, this is nowhere near something like New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red. A below-average fruit beer. Not very easy to take down.

on tap at flossmoor station. the black board says 4.5% ABV. drank from a pint sized nonic.
A- this one pours out a hazy golden colored body with a reddish tint to it. a small white head forms on top and lasts a while. small rings of lacing are left behind.
S- the smell is mostly of a medicinal cherry odor dominates this one. it smells decently sweet as well. very little in common with regular wheat beers.
T- the overly sweet cherry scent comes through strong in the taste. it also has a distinctly metallic taste that doesnt seem to quit. its really hard to get over.
M- medium bodied with an average level of carbonation.
D- nope. never again. the worst beer ive had from this normally good to great brewery.

Pours hazy, yellowish gold to orange. Smell is storng cherries and is sweet and cough syrup like, but still somewhat nice. Taste is thin cherry malt. This one was exceptionally thin flavor and body-wise and was definitely one of my least favorite of their otherwise pretty good beers.
06-30-2008 20:28:48 | More by JDV
2.05/5 rDev -30.5%
(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer is a clear warm yellow body with a thick white head and a gentle carbonation.
S- The smell of cherry cough drops is strong and chemical which blocks out all other aromas.
T- The medicinal taste of cough syrup has an alcohol or at least cough medicine flavor that makes me cringe.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel and what feels like a syrup texture that coats the throat but I think I'm biased by the flavor and smell.
D- My mom couldn't get me to drink it when I was little and I'm not drinking it now. They really need to cut back on the extract flavoring and some fresh fruit would do wonders for the taste, smell and appearance.

I can see its points, but it just isn't for me. Strong Smith Bros. cough drop aroma. Cherry flavor seems to be fighting it out with the malt and hops, with no clear winner. Interesting cloudy wheat appearance. A bit of hop taste does pop up at the end, though. Just need to refine it a little further.

This brew pours a small head that left a good lacing. It had a transparent yellow orange colored body and a mild cherry aroma. Its flavor was also that of cherry and was very smooth. It was suprisingly good and I found myself likeing it very much, but not sure that I could bring myself to enjoy flavored beers all taht much.

Pale golden color doesn't warn of what is to come. Sweet maraschino cherry aroma. Cherry flavor is present but remains very beer like throughout. With a fruit essence.

Seahawks tight end Anthony McCoy needed surgery to repair a partially torn Achilles tendon tear. The back up to Zach Miller last season, McCoy was ranked the 12th best pass catching tight end by NFL.com. Though his run-blocking was suspect, he gave Russell Wilson an effective target.
"NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that McCoy went under the knife Thursday and is expected to miss at least six to nine months, according to a person briefed on his injury. McCoy simply was running when the injury occurred, according to RapSheet..." - via NFL.com's Marc Sessler
It seems like there's a certain injury pops up every year that sweeps through the NFL. The San Francisco 49ers' Michael Crabtree went down with the same injury only days ago. Hopefully these two players aren't the start of an epidemic like foot injuries seemed to be in 2012.
McCoy will be out 6 to 9 months, so it looks like rookie Luke Wilson will get some serious looks going into training camp. Like any injured player, let's hope Anthony McCoy gets well soon.

Raiders coach Hue Jackson officially introduced Carson Palmer to the media today, and he wasn't shy about setting the bar high, announcing the acquisition was "the greatest trade in football." Can Palmer live up to Jackson's praise, not to mention the Raiders' investment of two first-round picks? He admitted the expectations were heavy, calling it a "tremendous burden."
"I was telling someone just a little while ago that I went to bed at 10:30 a retired football player and got a text message at 4 a.m. and was told to get on a plane to Oakland," he added. "So, it's been a whirlwind, and I understand what's expected of me. I have played in this league for eight years, I know what it's about.
"I know what playing quarterback is about, and it's about winning. I want to come in and contribute and do whatever I can to help this team."
But exactly when Palmer will have a chance to help the team remains to be seen. In addition to learning the playbook and getting acquainted with his new teammates, he said he needs to work on his conditioning.
"It's going take some time," he said. "I think the only way you can get in football shape is by playing football.
"You can run wind sprints and lift weights and all those things but calling a play in the huddle when you're tired, after you just ran, you get the wind knocked out of you, getting up off the ground, ready to talk in the huddle, catching your breath, that's football shape, and they only way to do that is in practice and in games."
So is there any chance Palmer will start this Sunday? Jackson refused to say one way or the other. "You think I'm going to tell you that right now? You know me a little bit better than that," he said.
"OK, all you guys try, I'm not going to let that out of the bag just yet. But you've got to be ready for anything from me. I think you know that. We'll see as we continue to move through the week exactly where we are."
If Palmer doesn't start in Week 7, Kyle Boller will likely get the nod. After Jason Campbell left last Sunday's game with a broken collarbone, Boller completed 8-of-14 passes for 100 yards.
As a followup to Jackson's claim that this was the "greatest trade in football," he was asked what the second greatest trade was. His answer?
"I'll let you know when we make it."
For the full transcript of introductory Palmer's press conference, check out Tim Kawakami's blog at the Mercury News. To see what Raiders fans think about Palmer's acquisition, check out Silver and Black Pride.

Some good news tonight on the Blake Geoffrion front tonight as the 24 year old Hamilton Bulldog was released from the hospital and appears to be doing well.
It's nice to hear after days of stories talking about how dangerous the injury actually was.
To be clear, the prognosis on Geoffrion playing is still murky. All brain injuries carry certain inherent risks, and due to a history of concussions at just 24, everyone should be hoping that the Montreal Canadiens organization is as patient as possible with Blake.
Purely my own opinion here, but I have a feeling that there's a chance Geoffrion takes what he has, and leaves hockey. I'm sure at this point this is a non-starter for him, but he's one of the few NHLers that graduated with a college degree, so he has a good backup plan, and parents who are clearly supportive of him.
I could be completely off base there, and I hope his health situation is so good that I'm being completely irrational. However if that is the choice Geoffrion makes, everyone should support him. A person's health should always come first.

This is one of those games that I look back on with longing. Whereas modern JRPG's (Not that this is made in Japan, but it shares some design similarities) feature unlikeable cliche characters, poor voice acting, and writing that makes 'Twilight' look good, this game is more reminiscent of the SNES greats like Chrono Trigger and FF6. A world with fascinating design and well-developedread more history, a cast of diverse and enjoyable characters, clever writing, wonderful voice acting, and an epic story, all make this game more than worth the $5.99.
Play it, love it.

This game and I go way back. When I was in the Marine Corps sometimes I would sneek my copy out in the feild and install it on one of my laptops. I played this game so much, but I never beat it. It's a testiment to the games design that most of my platoon actually ended up playing the game as well. A great old school rpg with just enough JRPG and WRPG mixture to keep things intersting.

I remember this from back when I got it, through a mail order company, which also gave me System Shock 2.
Although not as fantastic as SS2, this game suffered the same fate, it is a great game no one ever heard about.
The battle mechanic is "fixed" battles, where your party, and the enemy is set in certain positions. Your partymembers will have different skillsread more that hits in different ways, like all enemies in a row, or withing a certain angle. Your party will be made up by people from different sides/layers of the community. An interesting angle here is that members of your party recruited from different sides of the in-game conflicts might attack each other during battles..
I remember that the game had a good story, intertwined with politics, religion etc. It also has great FMV's (for the time, at least). I think I found the voice cting quite impressive for the time, this being the first RPG, with full (?) voice acting. On the negative side, the battles can, as with all RPG's become a little repeating..
So if you want a fun RPG, with some interesting bells and whistles, this one can easily be recommended!

After a long day of campaigning for his old congressional seat, Mel Reynolds is probably headed for bed soon. But, the question is: where?
At a news conference Wednesday announcing his run for congress, Reynolds seemed to stumble on a simple question: where do you live?
"I live at 221…my address is 221…I'm renting. South 138th Street. In Dolton," Reynolds stammered.
That address doesn't exist, but there is a 221 East 138th Street. When FOX 32's Dane Placko showed Reynolds' picture to neighbors, they didn't seem to recognize him.
"Nah, I've never seen that man because that man don't stay there," one man said.
Another woman laughed when asked if she had seen him, followed by a "no" reply.
But a man named Rodney, who says he owns the home, says Reynolds rents a bedroom there. He just couldn't tell us when he moved in.
"He hasn't lived here that long," says Rodney.
When asked if he could say how long Reynolds has lived there, Rodney replied, "no, not at this time."
Reynolds wouldn't go on camera, but pointed out repeatedly over the phone that he doesn't have to live in the 2nd district to run for the seat, which is true.
He says he moved in two weeks ago, but wouldn't say where he lived before.
His driver's license is registered to a UPS store in Bronzeville and he says he drives two cars: an SUV with retired congressional plates and a Jaguar.
But, the Secretary of State's office says that could be a problem.
"The driver's license, Dane, has been canceled," Dave Druker of the Secretary of State's office explains. "He had written a check to the Secretary of State's office that bounced."
Druker says Reynolds should not be driving at all.
That bad check is just the start of Reynolds' financial problems. Cook County records show he's been sued by several creditors and was kicked out of this property on King Drive.
The lawyer who represented him on that case then turned around and sued Reynolds for non-payment. He won a judgment for more than $12,000, which Reynolds still hasn't paid.
"Well actually I was happy [when I found out he was running], because if he wins at least I know he has a job and I can garnish his congressional salary and it will make my day much better," says Ring.
Reynolds wouldn't explain why he hasn't paid the judgment, saying only that it was about "disputed legal fees."
As for his job, Reynolds said Thursday that he owns a firm called Reynolds Consulting. When we told him we could find no such firm in the state's corporate database, he said it isn't registered and that it's something he does out of his home.

My post on DZone about Humble Architects sparked somewhat of a controversy, especially around my disparaing comments regarding Spring and Dependency Injection Frameworks. In this post, I expand on my I stopped using Spring.
I was one of the earliest adopter of Spring in Norway. We developed a large system where we eventually had to start thinking about things like different mechanisms for reuse of XML configuration. Eventually, this evolved into the @Autowire and component-scan which took away the problem with huge configuration files, but in return reduced the ability to reason about the whole source code – instead isolating developers in a very small island in the application.
The applications tended to blossom in complexity as either the culture, the tool, the documentation or something else made developers build unnecessary layer upon unnecessary layer.
Later, I tried to build applications without a Dependency Injection framework, but taking with me the lessons about when to use "new", when to have a setter or a constructor argument and which types were good to use as dependencies and which created coupling to infrastructure.
So I found that some of the instincts that the DI container had given me made me improve the design, but at the same time, I found that when I removed the container, the solution became smaller (which is good!), easier to navigate and understand and easier to test.
This leaves me with a dilemma. I found that the cost of using the container is very high – it creates a force towards increasing complexity and size and reduced coherence. But at the same time, it taught me some good design skills as well.
In the end, creating a coherent, small system is to me of much higher value than to create one that is decoupled just of the case of decoupling. Coherence and decoupling are opposing forces and I side with coherence.
At the same time, I found that the culture around dependency injection has a very strong preference for reuse. But reuse does introduce coupling. If module A reuses module B, module A and B are coupled. A change in B might affect A for better (a bug fix) or worse (an introduced bug). If the savings from the reuse are high, this is a trade-off worth making. If the savings are low – it is not.
So reuse and decoupling are opposing forces. I find myself siding with decoupling.
When there is a conflict, I value Coherence over decoupling and decoupling over reuse. The culture where Spring is in use seems to have opposite values.

Vikings: Five things to watch for against Oakland
[size=18px]Vikings: Five things to watch for against Oakland[/size]
By Eric Krupka on August 11, 2006 12:45 AM
On Monday, the Minnesota Vikings will begin their preseason schedule in the same fashion as their regular season, on ESPN's Monday Night Football.
This will be everyone's first chance to see the Vikings, led by head coach Brad Childress and defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin. It also marks All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss' return to Minnesota.
Childress and Tomlin won't be the only two making their debut on MNF in their new roles. Washington Post sportswriter and the co-host of "Pardon the Interruption," Tony Kornheiser, begins his football announcing career. For all involved let's hope Kornheiser isn't the next Dennis Miller, whose jokes and insight were more annoying than Fran Drescher's voice.
The Oakland Raiders boast a 1-0 record in preseason play, coming off an unimpressive 16-10 win Sunday.
Without further adieu, here are five things to watch for Monday Night.
5.) The linebackers- E.J. Henderson is having a terrific training camp and is the odds-on favorite to start at the weakside 'backer position. He will get the start there Monday. It will be interesting to see if he can parlay strong showings in practice into real games. Napoleon Harris will be in the middle and, barring a collapse, will be there when the season starts. Free-agent acquisition Ben Leber will be on the strong side. His skills on paper seem perfect for the Cover 2 scheme Tomlin is installing. Fans will also get their first look at 17th overall pick Chad Greenway. Monday will be the first opportunity to see how much or how little the unit has improved from last year.
4.) Brad Johnson- With the departure of All-Pro quarterback Daunte Culpepper, the reins have been handed over to the 37-year-old Johnson. When Culpepper went down, Johnson nearly brought the Vikings to the playoffs last season, guiding the team to a 7-2 mark. Johnson has looked very good in camp, and the new offensive scheme looks to be a great fit for him.
3.) Cohesion of the offensive line- On the left side Bryant McKinnie and Steve Hutchinson could form the best duo in the NFL. McKinnie has Pro Bowl talent, and is working harder than ever. Hutchinson is widely regarded as the best guard in the NFL. The two have been watching film together in order to get acquainted with each other's style and set up strategies for who takes on certain blockers.
All-Pro center Matt Birk returns from injury after having missed all of last season. It will be interesting to see how he looks in his first game action in a year and half.
The right side boasts guard Artis Hicks, acquired from the Eagles in a trade during the NFL draft, and second-year tackle Marcus Johnson. Both are big (Hicks 6-foot-4, 335; Johnson 6-6, 321) and talented, but Johnson has struggled somewhat in camp trying to block Vikings defensive end Kenechi Udeze.
Last season the unit was inconsistent and got pushed around too much. Adding Hutchinson and Hicks, and getting Birk back should do wonders.
2.) Play calling- It will be the first look at Childress' West Coast Offense. How involved will the receivers be? Will the team be pass-happy or will we see plenty of Chester Taylor and Mewelde Moore? I'd expect a head start on the aggressive, grind it out ground game, letting the line push the Raiders around. That would also prevent Johnson from taking any unnecessary hits. The last thing the Vikings need is for their starting quarterback to get injured.
1.) The "Tampa 2" defense- With it being the first preseason game, don't expect to see anything too in depth on defense, but it will be the first look at the new scheme Tomlin has implemented. In camp, the defense has been aggressive and hard hitting. Slowly but surely the team seems to be changing from a high- strike offense with little defense to a team built around a tough, hard-nosed defense and a ball-control offense.

Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings
8 p.m., Monday, ESPN
Oakland travels to Minnesota to face the Vikings on Monday on ESPN (cable channel 26). Sure, it is just another NFL preseason exhibition game, but this one has something extra going for it. ESPN's new "Monday Night Football†announcing crew is scheduled to make its debut.
Mike Tirico will do the play-by-play and Joe Theismann will be the analyst. But many people will be watching and listening to Tony Kornheiser, the third man in the booth. Kornheiser is a columnist for the Washington Post and the co-host with Michael Wilbon of "Pardon the Interruption,†which airs weekdays at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN.
Until Feb. 2004, he also served as host for a three-hour weekday radio show on ESPN radio.
Although the show came under the heading of sports talk, Kornheiser's topics often drifted into pop culture and other non-sports areas. His sarcastic humor was a refreshing break from the usual sports talk chatter about which team is going to win this weekend and why.
It will be interesting to see how he interacts with Tirico and Theismann.
During a conference call this week, Kornheiser, a self-proclaimed wiseguy, didn't anticipate any problems if he and Theismann have a disagreement during the telecasts.
"You know, if there are, I'll just push him out of the booth,†Kornheiser said.
Sounds like it's going to be fun.
Hank Williams, Jr., as he did for 16 years on ABC's version of "Monday Night Football,†will bring his "Are You Ready for Some Football†opener to ESPN.
Mike Patrick, ESPN's previous No.1 pro football announcer, will be the channel's lead college football announcer this season.

Re: Vikings: Five things to watch for against Oakland
I personally like Mr. Kornheiser. I watch PTI all the time and I think it's nice to get some humor onto the program as long as it's not far fetched humor and they stay on topic.
Re: Vikings: Five things to watch for against Oakland
I know they call it the Tampa Bay defense, but correct me if I am wrong but didn't the Defense first start here in Minnesota? I am talking about back when Tony Dungy was the defensive coordinator here.
As far a Tony K goes I miss his radio show and I think he will do a good job on the game.

Afghan copter crash victims British
2:39pm Saturday 26th April 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Five military personnel killed when their Lynx helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan were UK service members, the Ministry of Defence confirmed.
They died when the aircraft crashed during a routine flight in Kandahar province, the MoD said.
Three of the servicemen were from the Army Air Corps, based at RAF Odiham in Hampshire.
One was a Royal Air Force serviceman also based at RAF Odiham. One was a member of the Army Reserve from 3 Military Intelligence Battalion, based in London.
Major General Richard Felton, Commander Joint Helicopter Command, said: "It is with great sadness that we must confirm that five UK service personnel have been killed in this incident which, at this early stage, would appear to have been a tragic accident.
"Events like this, whilst mercifully rare, remind us of the risks our personnel face in their work in Afghanistan as we approach the conclusion of the combat mission later this year.
"Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who have lost their lives."
The next of kin of all five servicemen have been informed.
Today's incident brings the total number of UK service personnel killed in Afghanistan to 453.
It is thought to be the third deadliest incident involving British forces in the war and the worst air disaster since September 2006, when 14 service personnel were killed in a Nimrod surveillance aircraft which exploded mid-air.

Reviews for Marvelous Cannoli Cake
Sort By :
This is a beautiful and delicious cake. The frosting is heavenly. The recipe does make a lot of frosting. I had no problems with any of the ingredients or instructions.
Considering making for a friend's birthday. Thank you for tips regarding draining liquid from cheese(s). Thank you also for sharing recipe.
I made this recipe exactly as written with no problems whatsoever. I had no problems with any of the ingredients being too "runny." It was a huge hit taste-wise and was a gorgeous cake!
I made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it was wonderful and very easy. I drained the ricotta cheese during the day and a little liquid came out then I continued to drain it overnight and much more came out. It was a great consistency and delicious!!! I agree with other comments about cutting the frosting in half. I had a lot left over.
Wish I had read the reviews before I made the cake. How hard would it be to add drain the ricotta to the recipe and increase the powdered sugar. Made the cake for company and hoping that it firms up in the refrigerator before they get here. I'm a little annoyed. It seems that people had to make a lot of adjustments to make this cake.....hope it tastes as good as they say. I think the original recipe is a little disappointing for a Taste of Home recipe.

The stylish NYC-based blended brand uses a truck to promote their stylish urban clothing line, but is loathe to lump themselves in the mobile vendor category. "We're a creative brand, much more than the truck. The truck came about as a result of creative brainstorming on our part as far as figuring out ways to bring our items directly to the people," says Gainu, a partner in The Cookies Mob. Vending for promotional purposes only is a relatively recent trend, used by the likes of companies such as Mashable that are looking to capitalize on the popularity of the mobile scene. We're not hating on these guys, though. They've had the truck for four years, long before the fad became a staple. They can be found on busy Broadway in SoHo on the weekends, parked amongst vendors who use trucks as their only selling…vehicle. Check out the vivacious duds that Cookies N Cream produces as part of their varied ventures. For more information, head to their website or contact The Cookies Mob directly.

Oxfam condemns 'rogue employee' Edward McKenzie-Green for swindling £64,000 from the charity (From The Oxford Times)

Oxfam condemns 'rogue employee' Edward McKenzie-Green for swindling £64,000 from the charity
Updated 12:30pm Thursday 6th March 2014 in News
OXFAM has condemned fraudster Edward McKenzie-Green today after he admitted swindling £64,000 from the charity.
McKenzie-Green, 34, appeared at the Old Bailey today and admitted fraud.
Oliver May, Oxfam's head of counter-fraud, has said: "Oxfam uses donations from the British people to help eradicate poverty and suffering across the world.
"For someone to commit fraud and use that money for their own gains is clearly unacceptable.
"The actions of Edward McKenzie-Green were brought to light by Oxfam's own robust counter-fraud measures and we work tirelessly to ensure that money donated to Oxfam is not lost through the actions of rogue employees like McKenzie-Green.
"We will now work to try and recover the money taken.
"Oxfam, like other international aid agencies, works in environments where there is a risk of fraud and loss. "However, Oxfam does not tolerate fraud and has a Counter-Fraud Team that conducts awareness training and prevention work throughout the world.
"All cases of suspected fraud are investigated.
"Oxfam has an open and transparent approach to the prevention and detection of fraud and mechanisms through which suspected fraud can be reported.
"This includes a confidential whistle-blowing hotline in five different languages."
McKenzie-Green, of The Leys, Chipping Norton, has been told he could be jailed. The court heard he had swindled the cash after becoming hooked on prescription painkillers.

They are just three months old, but they already know how to swim. Two Sumatran tiger cubs born at the National Zoo passed a swimming test on Wednesday.
They had to take a dip in a moat and be able to climb back onto land. Both cubs, Bandar and Sukacita, passed the test.
The cubs were born on August 5.
Now that they have passed the swim test, they will be able to roam their entire outdoor enclosure. They need a little time to get used to it.
The exhibit will reopen to the public on November 18.
There are only about 350 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.

7" SuperMax Class-A Chimney System
New Lower Prices!
UL Listed SuperChimney Max in 7" diameter carries a 10-year prorated warranty. Max has been tested and listed to UL's 103HT Standard. The manufacturer approves its use for wood, oil, coal, and gas.
The couplers and the chimney's inner liner are made from 304-alloy stainless steel. The outer wall is 434-alloy stainless steel.
Most of the components for SuperChimney Max are the same as those for SuperPro Class-A Chimney. The exceptions are the cathedral ceiling support box which does not have brass trim, the decorator ceiling support and black wall thimble which come with round trim collars with no brass trim, and the trim collar itself which measures 16" round and does not have brass trim.
SuperPro also features mineral wool insulation. This insulation is formulated for optimum performance while dramatically reducing chemically active ingredients. Its provides a thermal delay that resists and contains surges of heat, keeping the outer liner cooler.
The SuperMax couplers are embossed, not cut, to reduce moisture penetration. This greatly increases the longevity of the chimney.Components, such as flashings, have a galvalume coating which has twice the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel.
SuperMax features twist-lock connections; however, locking bands are recommended at each joint for extra security when cleaning and are required on elbows.

PEORIA, Ill. -- One organization in central Illinois is teaming up to increase housing options in Peoria's East Bluff neighborhood.
LISC, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, is vying for an $11 million grant for East Bluff residents.
"We've submitted our initial proposal, we're waiting to hear for our follow-up meeting but, based on some initial feedback now, I anticipate that our proposal is gonna be viewed fairly highly," said LISC Executive Director Brandon Holmes.
The money is just part of a $70 million grant known as the National Mortgage Foreclosure Settlement Award.
If Peoria wins part of the grant, it would be used to make improvements to East Bluff homes. The area is largely made up of a lot of older structures.
East Bluff Neighborhood Housing Services Executive Director Kristina Gamez said new and revitalized homes would brighten the landscape.
"Some of them have been lost to foreclosure, sometimes the residents are elderly and can't keep it up anymore and so they move someplace else. There's a lot of rental property," said Gamez.
One resident said the grant could also push more residents to take ownership.
"I think a lot of people will be encouraged and want to buy a home. Some of them have never owned a home before," said East Bluff resident Latonya Griffin.
LISC hopes to know by the fall whether or not Peoria will be awarded the housing grant.

I think this is an "In a Pinch" solution.
It worked for my 7d and a 10-22mm I had. But I have to agree Clean them proper when you get home.
It's not an "in a pinch solution".... you can seriously damage the pins VERY easily.
The use of erasers to clean contacts goes with cleaning the contacts on printed circuit boards..... and you do remove the plating... clean them a few times and you can clearly see where the gold is worn away and the copper is showing. On the printed circuit board the contact is flat and easily plated.... not so on edges of materials... like pin ends. When you clean a circuit board connector the contact is over a much wider area than the tip of a pin so the pressure per square inch, and abrasiveness, is much less. The use of an eraser is destructive cleaning, I can't say it any plainer.
If you are spraying anything.... do not spray directly on the contacts as the solvent will also splash around either the camera body or the lens.... spray on something outside of the lens or the body and then use it to clean the contacts.
If you use a cleaner... you need to use something that will not leave a non-conductive residue. Things like WD40 will make electrical contact problems worse.

The Shelbyvile Lady Ram Tennis team won their 5th match of the season on Thursday, knocking off Newton, 5-4.
"The girls played well," said Ram coach Ryan Scott.
Shelbyville won three of the six singles matches, so it would come down to doubles to determine the winner, Shelbyville or Newton. That's where Shelby had a leg up.
The #1 Ram doubles team of Mykennah Allen and Alexis Halbrook, two former Daily Union Athletes of the Week, have not lost a doubles match since they placed 5th at the Mattoon Invite and put themselves on the map. On Thursday Allen and Halbrook made it six straight, beating Newton's #1 team, 10-6.
Kayla Lee and Taylor Powers have also been on a bit of a run lately, especially in singles. Lee won #2 singles against Newton, 7-5, 6-4. Powers went three sets in #5 singles, before losing, 6-3, 3-6, 6-10.
The two combined for #3 doubles. With the team score 4-4, it would be the deciding match. Lee and Powers won, going away, 10-3.
Alexis Halbrook followed Lee's example in singles with a #4 singles win, scalding Shelby Jackson, 6-1, 6-3. Julia Bolinger (#6 singles) also had an important win that kept Shelby in the hunt. Bolinger won 6-0, 6-2.
Shelbyville hosts Teutopolis on Monday at 4:30 p.m., then is scheduled for a rematch with Newton on Thursday.
Shelbyville 5, Newton 4
Singles: #1 Mykennah Allen (S) lost to Mier-y-Leon (N), 1-6; #2 Kayla Lee (S) def. Green (N), 7-5, 6-4; #3 Rachel West (S) lost to Michl (N), 0-6, 0-6; #4 Alexis Halbrook (S) def. Jackson (N), 6-1, 6-3; #5 Taylor Powers (S) lost to Heal (N), 6-3, 3-6, 6-10; #6 Julia Bolinger (S) def. Stork (N), 6-0, 6-2
Doubles: #1 Allen/Halbrook (S) def. Mier-y-Leon/Green (N), 10-6; #2 Kaitlynn Hopper/Rachel Sphar (S) lost to Michl/Jackson (N), 0-10; #3 Lee/Powers (S) def. Heal/Bridget Kaufman (N), 10-3

Thanks for this. It actually doesn't work with my regular background, but when I turn on the iFlat 4 beta it works fine. Is there a way I can fix that?
Hey KrS, been a fan of your work for a long time. I have a question though...I love the ibnweather theme and would love to have on my ios4. I don't have a theme downloaded, just a wallpaper and glaskart icons. If I dl the ibnweather theme or another weather widget (if you have any suggestions as to which one I should use I would appreciate it) can I use ifile to do all the things you talked about to change it for ios4? I hope that made since. Basically, how could I use ifile to update the weather widgets to ios4. If possible at all. Thank you very much KrS
Raw file system Library/themes/IBNweather.theme
Hopefully this help.
Ok...I went into ifile and went to bar/stash/themes/ibnweather/widgets.HTML. I copied the two lines unto the text. I'm not sure how or what you mean by putting it back into the ibnweather folder. If you don't mind please explain this to me. Thank you for your help. Also when you say it can be found in raw file system, where to I find that? Sorry for being a noob. Still trying to learn all I can. Thanks again
You need to edit the widget html file, add the lines and save it.
The problem that you can have;
doesn't work because the sources are not in to private/sources ( but usually, that the way it is)
Doesn't work because there is no wallpaper png image inside the theme folder. ( fix this by adding a png pic in to the ibnweather folder and name it; Wallpaper)
Hope this helps... I hear that ibnyaffa found a way to fix the need of the wallpaper png... but dont know much abou it
thanks bro! i been trying to get this to work for awhile, and those two lines of code is just what i needed
hey Chris, i got it working but it never seems to update, only if i respring it. is this how it works, or do i need to tweak somethin? Im using twilight date & time... oh btw, what are some good time n weather widgets?
thanks ~TIP

What is AQI?
The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health concerns you should be aware of. The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA uses the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect against harmful health. (EPA-454K-03-002, August 2003, http://www.airnow.gov/)
