This latest boxed edition will include an exclusive in-game item, the Cerebral Accelerator, which is a military-grade implant that significantly increases a new pilot's skill development. While they are a very strong boost to nearly all abilities, these bonuses are temporary and are only effective for the first 30 days of a pilot's life as they get up to speed in the universe.
The Commissioned Officer Edition also includes a CD key for starting a new account, 30 days paid game subscription time and an EVE poster with helpful hints and tips for getting started on the reverse side. This edition can be used to start a new account or to convert a free trial or buddy program trial account into a full account with the access and benefits afforded to all EVE subscribers. The Cerebral Accelerator will be delivered to the first character created on the account and cannot be acquired through any other source.
"The Commissioned Officers Edition is the best way for a new player to get a running start in the highly competitive environment of EVE Online" says Sr. Producer Arnar Gylfason.
CCP has partnered with Atari for publishing and distribution of EVE Online: Commissioned Officer Edition in North America. EMEA market publishing and distribution plans of this edition will be announced at a later date.
The Commissioned Officer Edition can be pre-ordered at a number of leading game retailers. This edition, the finest ever for a new EVE pilot just getting started, will not be available via digital distribution.

5 Reasons Why it's Still Safe to Fly
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Diwata Arcilla | July 25, 2014 4:14 PM EST
News headlines have been filled with stories of tragic airline disasters these past few weeks, from the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 that killed 298 people to the crash of a passenger plane in Taiwan, killing at least 48 people, and the crash of Air Algerie flight 5017 where no survivors have been reportedly found.
This begs the question is it still safe to fly? Here are 5 reasons why flying is still a safe option for travel.
1. More reliable structural and mechanical parts
Advances in aviation technology have made planes structurally sounder than a few decades ago. These include
stronger seats that are less likely to move and pan caking together in a crash and crushing passengers;
carpets and seat cushions made from fire retarded materials that do not give off noxious gases when burned;
improved exits that are simpler to open and swing out of the way of exiting passengers;
rows of white light that changes to red when an exit is reached; and
improved and reinforced structural weaknesses that were identified by aircraft engineers from past crashes.
2. Sophisticated navigation system
Advancements in technology help pilots nowadays avoid fatal crashes. For instance, aeroplanes are now fixed with ground proximity warning systems that alert pilots when they're too close to the ground. It gives off an alarm and a computer with synthesized speech shouts "terrain, pull up."
Better radar systems in the cockpit and on the ground have also helped pilots avoid fatal accidents. Modern radar system in the cockpit warns pilots of other planes nearby, while radar on the ground helps planes from going down on active runways or wrong taxiways.
3. Crash rates
The Aviation Safety Network reported that there were 23 fatal aviation accidents and 475 deaths in 2012 worldwide. This shows a significant difference from the 42 crashes and 1,147 fatalities worldwide reported in 2000.
Dr. Arnold Barnett of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted a study on commercial flight safety and found out that between the years 1975 and 1994, the death risk for each flight was 1 in 7,000,000. This means that the probability of being in a fatal accident is 1 in 7,000,000.
Dr. Barnett even says that a person could fly every day for an average of 123,000 years before succumbing to a fatal accident.
4. Odds of death
There are more probable ways to die than in a fatal plane accident. According to the National Safety Council, people have a higher chance of dying from a bee sting than from a commercial flight. Check out the table below, via Anxieties.com.
Cause of death:
Cardiovascular disease
1 in 2
Smoking by/before 35
1 in 600
Car trip (coast to coast)
1 in 1,400
Bicycle accident
1 in 88,000
1 in 450,000
Train travel (coast to coast)
1 in 1,000,000
Bee sting
1 in 1,550,000
1 in 1,900,000
Commercial flight
1 in 7,000,000
5. Effect of availability heuristic
In psychology, availability heuristic happens when people make judgments based on the immediate example that comes to mind rather than on facts and data.
The term was coined by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in 1973. They suggested that availability heuristic makes people believe that things that easily come to mind are common and accurate reflections of reality.
Vivid images of fatal plane accidents magnified by the news and media easily stick to the public's mind. As a result, these images immediately come to mind when people think of airline travel, causing the wrong evaluation of its dangers.

Chicken stock - here's what I have; what now?
- b
- brandygirl Jun 22, 2014 12:52 PM
First, keep in mind that the stock will be used to replace water while cooking, such as when cooking rice. It will not be the base for soup.
I have the carcasses of 4 roasted chickens, the giblets bags from 3 of the chickens, a few carrots with their green tops, half an onion, 2 small garlic cloves, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, and some fresh herbs--savory, lemon basil, and rosemary.
1.) Do I need anything else or more of what I already have--celery, leeks, parsley, more onion or garlic? Do the herbs I have work for stock? How much do I need for the number of carcasses I have?
2.) Should I use the giblets, and if so, all of them or do I remove the liver? Should I cook the giblets first, and if so, how--roast, pan fry?
3.) How much water do I use--enough to cover everything, or a certain measured amount? And how long should I simmer?
Most recipes I've read require using a whole or parts of chicken and give conflicting advice, so I'm hoping you can help me. Thanks.
Others may have differing opinions, but I would leave the giblets out of your planned stock, as their flavor is very strong and distinctive. Also, I'd go to a full onion. Haven't ever used lemon basil, so have no opinion on it. The rest of the herbs seem fine, although I'd add thyme if you have it.
re: mcsheridan
I agree, the giblets absolutely ruin a good stock. "Strong and distinctive" is a very diplomatic way of putting it. :) If you like them, cook them separately and add them to a finished dish.
I would skip the lemon basil as well. If you want it in your finished dish, add it then (I actually feel that way about all of the herbs since a more neutral stock is more flexible and useful.)
I'm good with the giblets -- I almost always add them, because we like the flavor. Don't bother pre-cooking.
Herbs sound good -- rosemary can go in at beginning, but I'd hold the savoury and lemon basil until the last minute - they're too delicate to hold up to the long cooking.
I'd use 2 of the carcasses - -that will make a LOT of stock. Freeze the other two.
I agree to up it to a whole onion (if a half is all you've got -- oh well...this isn't a precise science)
Throw it all in the biggest pot you have, add water to cover, and let it simmer as long as you have patience to let it go -- 3-4 hours at a minimum. I use a steamer basket, opened out and inverted over the whole mess to keep everything submerged.
Stock is one of the easiest things out there to make -- bung it all in a pot, cover it with water, and simmer for hours.
re: sunshine842
I agree in part. I'd use all the carcasses, and the giblets (not cooked separately) without the livers. Liver affects the flavor and color. I save the livers to dice and saute as part of chicken stuffing. If you have more onion, use it. If you have a pressure cooker, use that; water to cover solids, whether in a PC or regular pot.
re: greygarious
Same here. I leave the liver out of stocks and usually eat it on the spot right after prepping the chicken as the cooks treat
re: jefpen2
In the flavor or just the texture?
re: scubadoo97
the texture and flavor. Not too strong but you get that great glutenous gooey stuff.
re: jefpen2
I've used chicken feet and they made no difference at all in flavor or texture. Maybe I didn't use high enough proportion I don't know. I wouldn't worry about adding them.
re: jefpen2
I use chicken feet also. Usually around 8 or so. I chop off the first toe digit to help release the collagen. Cooled down the stock is like jello.
Here's more advice to confuse you. I detest the flavor of onion that hasn't been sweated in a little oil before using to make stock, so I always do that first. I also brown the carcasses before adding the water, but you don't have to do this. It just adds a nice flavor if you do.
After that, cover the carcasses and veggies with water (don't add any fresh herbs at this point), toss in some salt and simmer, skimming the foam off for the first 1/2 hour of simmering. Then keep simmering until it tastes like chicken stock. Don't add water or it will dilute the flavor. You can always do this later depending on how you want to use the stock.
re: Isolda
I usually just toss in the onion that was roasted with the chickens.
re: Isolda
The carcasses were already roasted.
re: Puffin3
Roasting the carcasses will give a deeper, richer flavor and color, but is not necessary.
I always hack the bones up a bit with a cleaver so more marrow and gelatin are released. I'd skip the herbs, too. IMO they'll make the stock too "specific" and lose their brightness in all that cooking. I've also noticed if I cook lemon basil in with certain grains, they often ends up tasting soapy.
1. Celery, parsley, and more onion are nice-to-haves, but if you want to go ahead with what you have, it won't be bad. If you have celery powder or celery salt, that might be better than nothing. I agree with leaving out the other fresh herbs.
2. I'd throw in the heart and gizzard, not the liver. You could brown them in the bottom of the pot before adding everything else, or not -- it's not critical.
3. Enough water to cover. Simmer a really long time. I see a lot of recipes saying anything from an hour to 4, but whenever I've tasted it at 4, it's just not nearly as good as it gets yet. I like to go at least 6, and if it's not bedtime yet, I just keep going for up to 8. Taste it each hour or so and you'll taste the improvement. In my opinion, everything else is very forgiving and you end up with a delicious stock if you just go long enough.
Thanks for all the replies. Based on your posts and the fact I really don't feel like leaving the house right now, I'm just using what I have on hand. From the giblets bags, I'm using just one heart and all three necks. I put in one huge stalk of rosemary, but left out the other fresh herbs, and I threw in some dried thyme I found in my pantry along with a few dried bay leaves. I wasn't counting, but I think it took about 6 or 7 quarts of water to cover everything in the pot. I'll see how it turns out! Again, thanks for your help.
re: brandygirl
Whatever you do, your stock will be good. Can it be better? Yes! But are you always going to be chasing the better? Whatever you do this time, remember it. Next time tweak it in whatever direction suits you. Don't worry too much.
re: brandygirl
I'll use my 2 6qt crockpots for the stock, if I know I can't be home while it cooks. Otherwise I just use my 12qt stockpot on the stove.
I use nothing but chicken (no giblets), celery, and onion , and salt because I don't want a lot of other flavors overpowering the chicken flavor. Giblets have a certain flavor. If you like that, use them. Otherwise, using giblets will lead to disaster.
A big fan of getting every bit of yum out of chicken/pountry bones. After cooking even a few split chicken breasts and eating, I toss in a pot. Celery, carrots, onions and water. Just let it gurgle for a nice long time. If I get a few pints of stock... better than just tossing what you already paid for.
In my book, poultry is poultry when it comes to stock... chicken or turkey. Have a few containers of turkey stock from T-Day in freezer... fine of starting a soup, making gravy, cooking rice or little pasta in.
re: kseiverd
I collect bits and pieces as I go -- I'm up now to having a whole drawer in the freezer full of chicken and turkey carcasses, wing tips from making wings, and a package of chicken feet from the last trip to the Asian grocery.
I have to confess I'm not very motivated, as it's 90F every day here from now through October. I may have to try it in the crockpot overnight.
re: sunshine842
The crockpot is the only way I make chicken or beef stock now.
The roasted carcasses (or wings and backs from the stupidmarket), chopped mirepoix of carrots, celery and onions, and a bouquet garni bag of fresh thyme, a bay leaf, and cracked peppercorns. That's all that goes into mine. Cover it all with water, started mid-morning on a Saturday, and it's ready for straining when I wake up on Sunday. Into the downstairs fridge to cool and solidify, then into 1- or 2-cup containers for the freezer.
I personally think that the giblets and rosemary would add too strong a flavor that I wouldn't want in a basic stock (I don't "do" giblets anyway, so they'd never be added).
re: LindaWhit
agreed. carcass, no giblets. no rosemary. two carrots and two celery snapped in half. 2 onion unpeeled and quartered. a few pepper corn. some bay leaf. parsley stems if i got em. cover with cold water and let it go at least 12 hours. strain and cool. then freeze the awesome chicken jell-o
I see here that I am lazy. I put four raw leg-thigh combos in my crock pot with an onion cut through a few times and a couple of ribs of celery and some salt, and I fill it up with water within an inch of the top, and run it overnight. Then I pour everything into a colander sitting in a big mixing bowl (once I forgot the mixing bowl) and that's it.
re: Querencia
Four carcasses makes a lot and needs a huge pot.
I like to add a shot of cider vinegar. You don't taste it but it pulls calcium out of bones.
For stock made from roasted carcasses I just do celery, onion and peppercorns. I'll add flat leaf parsley if I have some, but I usually don't. ( I'd personally leave out the rosemary, basil and giblets). The neck is fine though. Water to cover. Very low simmer, so just the occasional bubble pops. I leave mine anywhere from 8-24 hours for bone broths like this. Then I pressure can it.
Feet, wings and back. That's all you need. You get stock that'll make Jell-O jealous.
Carcass is weak, just bones and meat scrap. You'll get chicken juice not stock using that.
re: ipsedixit
Well, maybe the carcass from a roasted chicken that's been picked clean would lead to weak stock... But I buy them raw, so there's still lots of meat, skin, etc.
I use my big stock pot and use 6 carcasses ($2 total at the chinese market for 6) and I get jello consistency just fine.
re: SocksManly
Raw carcass is ... even worse.
re: ipsedixit
I make stock with carcasses all the time. I get thick, gelatinous stocks that nobody would ever call weak.
re: sunshine842
Me too. I'm sold on the pressure cooker for stock making though. 90 min stock that taste like you cooked it all day
re: scubadoo97
I've yet to have good luck with the p/c -- I need to try again.
re: sunshine842
What happened?
What type of PC?
re: scubadoo97
a regular stovetop pressure cooker -- I've just never had it develop the depth of flavor that my stovetop stock develops. Probably something to do with water levels and evaporation.
re: sunshine842
Try a Kunh Rikon unvented pressure cooker. Your mind will be blown. It is the absolute best piece of cooking gear I own and I have all sorts of crazy shit. If I could only have one cooking vessel it would be my 8 liter KR for sure. Can't make stock any other way now, and a lot of other things too.
re: EatFoodGetMoney
I'm just not going to drop that much cash. I love the pc I have, and it made the cut for an international relocation -- the highest praise I can give.
re: sunshine842
An inexpensive Fagor does a great job as well. Not sure why you've not gotten the depth of flavor from the PC. For me I find it's more concentrated and has deeper flavor then when cooked in an open vessel. Just goes to show there is no one way to do it
re: sunshine842
never had luck either. just don't get the flavor........
re: eLizard
haven't tried crockpot yet -- and I haven't given up on making stock in the pc, but haven't been thrilled with it thus far.
Biggest thing is finding the motivation to make stock when it's hot and humid!
re: sunshine842
I think it was mentioned in this thread that some people set up their crock pots outside to avoid heating up the kitchen. But still, one doesn't automatically think of stocks and soups when it is so hot out.
re: rudeboy
ugh this is when I am happy for that extra burner on the gas grill - used it for PC dog food the other day - I don't feel like the slow cooker really heats up the house much but that wonderful smell of slow cooked meat that makes your house feel great in winter can feel sweltering in summer,
re: JTPhilly
Maybe one of those crawfish rigs would work. I can get mine low enough for a slow simmer using a cast-iron pan underneath the pot. I've noticed that, even without the pan, I can maintain a slow simmer for those periods between batches of crawfish.
And just after writing the above, I remember that I actually have made chicken stock on that thing.
re: rudeboy
I have a crawfish rig in the basement - I should pull it out and use it for stuff - I never think about it
re: rudeboy
It's not heating up the house that makes me drag my feet -- it's that hot soup when it's 90 in the shade just doesn't pique my interest.
Gazpacho, maybe!
you know, after 20 years of every which way, this is what i do recently:
I use chicken backs mostly as wings have become too expensive.
3-5 lbs of backs, a roasted onion, 4+ quarts of H2O, and a three nich piece of scrubbed ginger, 10 hours on low, drain, skim, and pressure can (10 pounds, 25 min for me at sea level) .
Four quarts shelf stable homemade chicken stock overnight.
Not in any oder:
Celery will add a bitter flavour to your stock. (Keller The French Laundry)
Apart from the bay leaf do not add any herbs.
You'll be making quite a bit of stock and it's better to keep it all 'clean' of any flavours except that from the chicken. You can add herbs to individual portions to your liking before serving.
Leave the giblets out b/c hey are too strongly flavoured.
Use 'sweet onions'.
Carrots are "flavour sponges". Unless you plan to blend them into the stock you'll be throwing away flavour if you discard them.
No garlic. Garlic will add a bitter note if cooked too long.
Watch Tampopo. Notice how 'minimal' her chicken stock is.
'Less is definitely more' when making any stock.
Use and add enough water to just cover the carcasses.
NEVER EVER boil the stock if you want to end up with a clear stock. A slow smooth simmer is all the heat you need.
Many people mistakenly believe if they simmer/boil chicken bones for hours they will get a better flavoured stock. The opposite is true.
You'll only need to slow simmer the carcasses for about three hours at most to get all the best flavours. After that the carcasses will add 'off/bitter' flavours'.
I hope you go the low and slow route.
Last point. I would take a big pair of vise grips and gently crush the largest leg bones. Inside these bones are a lot of flavour but they will also make the stock cloudy if the stock is allowed to boil.
re: Puffin3
lots of good points there
interesting notes on the carrot and celery which I always add without thinking much about it because you are "supposed to" - makes sense though I will keep than in mind
definitely agree with keeping the flavors clean and the simmer low.
re: rudeboy
No skin, except maybe a little still clinging to the rib meat - I leave that. And whatever bits of meat is left on the carcasses is left. Not usually a whole lot.
re: rudeboy
If it's organic chicken I use the skin and then skim the fat off when chilled and put it in a jar for cooking later. If it's conventional I remove it before making stock.
No liver. I just cover it all with filtered water, bring up to temperature quickly, and let it seethe for hours. Do NOT let it boil, it will likely turn murky. I usually do use some celery, but take it easy on the rosemary, it's strong. I never use basil,just thyme, parsley, bay, and peppercorns. I add salt at the end, to taste. Also, a bit of acid will help dissolve minerals in the bones. I savea couple of reamed-out lemon halves and over-ripe tomatoes in the freezer with my non-cruciferous vegetable trimmings and herb stems and use those when I make stock. Also, yellow onion skins will give you a nice color.
re: zeldaz51
You make the stock I would like most to taste.
I too add salt at the end and a few drops of good balsamic at the beginning.

National Comedy Theatre Hosts New Year's Eve Comedy Spectacular
The National Comedy Theatre will present its annual New Year's Eve Spectacular tonight, December 31st, beginning at 9:00 p.m.
In addition to the regular performance, there will be catered food, and an after-show party with the cast, culminating in a countdown to the New Year.
Similar in style to Drew Carey's "Whose Line is it Anyway?" the National Comedy Theatre (NCT) is a high-octane improvisational comedy show based completely on audience suggestions.
Because the comedy is improvised, fans never see the same match twice. Audience members are encouraged to yell out suggestions throughout the match, making for a unique show every performance. And because the show is CLEAN, it is appropriate for all audiences.
Now in its 14th season in San Diego, the show has had almost 5000 performances nationwide, including overseas tours for our troops stationed in Iraq, Turkey, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Djibouti and Saudi Arabia.
Tickets for the New Year's show are $79. Tickets are available online at www.nationalcomedy.com.
National Comedy Theatre is located at 3717 India St. in San Diego. Call 619.295.4999 for more information. Regular performance schedule: Thursdays @ 7:30 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays @ 7:30 & 9:45 p.m. Sundays @ 7:30.

I didn't, and what I was missing! Consistent high Bonefish quality items. I had the Bang Bang Eggs Benedict, and it was delicious as well as Endless Bubbles. :) Sublime. I will definitely be back for this again.
Gotta try their bang bang shrimp...wow! their corn chowder is the best I have ever had. great service no complaints kinda pricey though
I recently dined with friends at Bonefish Grill in Chattanooga. Two of us ordered wine and the other two had only water. We sat outside so we could enjoy a conversation and the wonderful weather. Three of us ordered specialty salads (Cobb and Cilantro Lime Shrimp) and the other person ordered the lobster grilled cheese. My friend had raved about...
Have frequented this restaurant uncountable times in different cities,and had always felt very comfortable there. They now have a new menu and some of old staples are still on it but they seem to have a very heavy hand on seasonings now--do not know meaning of served" naked".
Excellent fish restaurant and unusually for US restaurants offering a choice of cooking methods so you can have plain grilled instead of caked in batter. Bang Bang shrimp was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal - a chain you can rely on
As usual Bonefish grill hit the spot,great shrimp and seafood,good service and a good price.Hope they think about coming to England.
Great dinner. I love to travel to Chattanooga as there is not a Bonefish Grill in my area! They had really nice specials on Wednesday night. Was a great business dinner.
We attended an event our friend purchased at a charity event donated by this restaurant. They were extremely generous with their gift. It included a gourmet tasting event with signature cocktails and wine pairings. I loved
all their selections from drinks to food to luscious deserts. The staff gave us very friendly and outstanding service as well. We got to...
Great food and service. Although it's a chain the atmosphere is consistent and comfortable. The only thing I'd like to have them add is a no-hat policy.
Went there on a recommendation from a friend. She was "right on"!! The Bang Bang shrimp was wonderful. I'll go back again and take my husband. We are seafood lovers. The staff was excellent also and there was no wait time at 12:15 on a Sunday.

Grow a heads are quirky little heads that grow grass hair when watered! The really neat thing about Grow a Heads is that you can style and personalize them for any occasion.They're a unique specialty toy that were a big hit at a recent International Toy Fair in New York. I see that they've just been added to the AsSeenOnTV site so I thought I'd do a write up and include some consumer comments. I couldn't help comparing them to Chia Pets. The major difference is that they actually use rye grass for hair which is not as as finicky to grow as the chia sprouts.
How Grow a Heads Work
- Grow a Heads come complete with a small vase, seeded head, decorating ideas and educational facts about plant growth.
- Novice plant enthusiasts and gift recipients simply need to soak the head, fill the vase with water, use the included plastic container as a greenhouse. In about 5-7 days, the grass hair begins to grow from its initial germination. The head of "hair" is fed with water from a wick and infused by natural nutrients, continues to grow quite quickly and lasts for months.
Personalize and Style Them for Any Occasion
- Trim and style the grass hair however you want. A pigtails, side-comb, mohawk or crew cut. If you ever mess up don't worry it will grow back!
- Use bows, ribbons and other accessories – hat, jewelry, sunglasses, or a beard.
- Decorate the container with fabric, felt or beads.
- There's also Grow-A-Head Greetings which come equipped with a customizable sign, carrying messages for Birthdays, "Get well soon","Congrats," or a personalized messages to friends and loved ones to mark any occasion.
Consumer Comments
- My great grandson was really excited to see the head sprout grass hair. The hair has been growing since Christmas.
- Fun project for kids and good to cheer up the winter blues. Provided a pretty patch of green on a sunny window sill.
- My 2 year old niece had fun watching that hair grow.
- It's an fun yet inexpensive holiday gifts for people at the office. Picked up one for myself too which gives me a giggle every time I look at it.
- Cats love to nibble on it and the grass keeps on growing!
- I noticed that out of 22 reviews, two ladies mentioned that the seeds didn't spout and another mentioned that the grass died off. The others that tried the Grow a Head mentioned that they and their kids had fun with it and they didn't mention any problems with the grass growing.

Grow a Heads are a good alternative to Chia Pets that don't always sprout. They're quite inexpensive, around $10 each and are available at gift and specialty retailers as well as on eBay. Here's another infomercial product you might have wondered about. It's called Fun Slide Carpet Skates and I'm not so sure that they're as exciting as they show on TV.

IASB may modify asset impairment rules
Exposure draft open for comment until March 19
By CFOWorld.co.uk staff | CFO UK | Published 10:15, 22 January 13
Accounting rules governing the impairment of assets (IAS 36) may be modified by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
In an exposure draft published last week, the international accounting standard setter set out proposed changes for Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets, first introduced by IFRS 13. The draft is open for comment until 19 March.
The IASB said it had originally intended that the amendment would require an entity to disclose the recoverable amount of an asset, including goodwill, for which an impairment loss was recognised or reversed during the fiscal reporting period.
"Instead, an entity is now required to disclose the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit for which the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to that unit is significant when compared to the entity's total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives," it explained.
Hence, industry comments are currently being sought.

The 2010 Player Auction for Indian Premier League will be held on the 19th January 2010. It will be held in India. 97 players from cricket playing countries other than India have registered for the auction. Merely registering, however, does not guarantee the player will be included in the auction list. The IPL will send the list of 97 names to the franchises who will then select those players they would like included in the auction. The selected players will be informed of their inclusion by January 5. The number of overseas players a franchise may have on its roster is capped at ten and at present it is unclear how many slots are available. In 2009, over 100 players registered for the auction out of which 50 went under the hammer to fill 17 available overseas slots. The IPL said it expected the number of places to be substantially lower this time. The original list of 97 players,

Sunday 19th to Wednesday 22nd October.October 22nd, 2014
Sunday 19th. A moderate to fresh SW'ly, gusting to over 30 kts, saw the winch deployed and a couple of exploratory flights by John Marsh and John Carter in K21 KLW to test the water so to speak. However, a low level cable break on the next flight with John Carter and Nick Gaunt on board, in combination with an increase in the wind speed caused flying to be abandoned for the day, the longest flight only lasting around 7 minutes. The wind speed continued to increase into the early afternoon, becoming fresh to strong and gusting over 40 kts, before declining slightly by evening and becoming W'ly, a somewhat windy welcome for a group of visitors from the Nene GC at the start of their week at Sutton Bank.
Monday 20th. A deep low to the N of Scotland kept the site in a moderate WSWly flow, the promising flying prospects of this combination of wind strength and direction being negated by a low cloud base and frequent showers that deposited 2,5 mm of rain on the site over the day, only the occasional brief, bright interval promising but not delivering anything better.
Tuesday 21st. The remains of hurricane Gonzalo crossed the UK bringing 3.6 mm of rain to the site, mainly overnight, but more noticeably some very strong winds from the WNW that peaked during the early afternoon to reach fresh to strong with gusts around 45 kts. Correspondingly, there was no flying.
Wednesday 22nd. Clear blue skies and a light S'ly wind allowed operations to commence off runway 20 soon after 1000 hrs. Conditions then went downhill quite quickly as a warm front made progress from the west, bringing extensive cloud cover, a veer in the wind to W'ly and an increase in wind speed to moderate, the change in wind speed and direction providing some challenging approaches for tug and glider pilots alike. The 9 ATs flown before flying stopped just after midday, did allow members of the visiting Nene GC group to get checked out on site before rigging and flying their DG300 and Pilatus gliders, with Chris Sheppard managing 20 minutes in the latter glider. The morning's flying also allowed 2 First Flight pupils to be flown, Andy Parish taking Mr Connolly for the longest flight of the day, 23 minutes in K21 KLW, while the second First Flight pupil had the additional experience of landing in light rain.

ADAMSTOWN, P.A. - American Made Matters, an organization dedicated to educating consumers on the importance of buying American-made products, is holding the 2nd annual American Made Matters Day on November 19th. The purpose of the event is for consumers to buy at least one U.S.-made product on this day, and to encourage consumers to buy made-in-USA products throughout the upcoming holiday season to show their support for US manufacturing.
"America's economy can only thrive and grow when we prioritize buying American," said Pennsylvania State Representative Mindy Fee. "I'm grateful that American Made Matters encourages consumers to prioritize buying American-made products when making their holiday purchases. Let's keep American businesses strong, and just remember that American made does matter."
November 19th has been declared American Made Matters Day not just because of the positive impact that manufacturing has on jobs, but also on local communities, the U.S. economy, product safety, the environment, and the future of America. Read More
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- This fall, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. (NYSE: MSO) will host its American Made program for the third consecutive year. The program celebrates entrepreneurial stars of the growing 'maker' culture who have turned their passion for handcrafted, well-designed goods into small businesses and proudly manufacture their products in America. The panel of judges, led by Martha Stewart and made up of members of the Martha Stewart editorial and merchandise teams, are pleased to announce this year's American Made Winners.
Martha and the panel of judges have carefully selected nine entrepreneurs from the program's 3,259 nominees from all 50 states as winners in the categories of Food, Crafts, Style and Design. A tenth winner was chosen by popular vote online and will be honored in the Audience Choice category. Whether creating eco-friendly craft kits in Madison, Wis., or revolutionizing composting (and in turn, contributing to the growing urban gardening movement) in Detroit, Mich., these winners are not only building businesses for themselves, but also making a difference in their local communities, ultimately changing the way Americans eat, shop, work and live.

Amerimerch.com announces today the launch of a new E-commerce platform dedicated solely to American made goods and products. Now anyone in the world can easily discover, research, purchase, and enjoy high quality U.S. manufactured products. The Amerimerch HUB provides a channel and voice for companies ranging from humble artisan's like California North to large-scale manufacturer's such as Dean Guitar and Okabashi Shoes. These American companies and businesses proudly contribute to the success of U.S. jobs, innovation, growth, and economic standing.
The Amerimerch E-commerce platform dramatically increases the web presence of each company by creating, unifying and strengthening a community of American companies and consumers. "We are honored and appreciative to be working with so many amazing companies, but it is going to take more than Amerimerch and U.S. manufacturers," Say's Amerimerch Co-Founder. "It's going to take the support of the American public, ultimately the decision is theirs to make and with their help, the possibilities are endless for U.S. companies and products."
Amerimerch.com is a proud contributor of American causes, foundations, and charities. A portion of each sale goes to assist U.S. Veterans and their Families. We guarantee that your purchase is not only helping to employ Americans, but it is also helping U.S. soldiers and families in need.
Gordon Allen and Kellen Kania are the Co-founders of Amerimerch.com. As young entrepreneurs working together in a small American Made off-road company Southern California, Gordon and Kellen learned first hand the difficulties of manufacturing a product in the USA against low cost, and often, low quality foreign competition.
Motivated by a strong personal desire to help keep America great Amerimerch was created to provide the most customer oriented online source for American made products. Together they have created the most satisfying customer experience and one stop shopping location online for products made exclusively in the United States. Gordon and Kellen collaboratively lead Customer Service, Marketing, Sales, and Operations with an award winning portfolio of both large and small companies who manufacture products with the best label in the world, Made in USA.
Living in San Diego home to MCAS MiraMar, Camp Pendleton, and the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base to name a few, the team is honored to be able to share their success in order to give back to the American economy and service members that allow them to be free.

Terminal Tip: Enable Safari web inspector
Perhaps you are a web developer, or maybe you're just nosy. Either way, looking at certain websites' CSS, HTML, and Script documents can be fun. If you are a Safari user, you can easily look at the loading documents in the Activity View (Window > Activity), but what if you want to take this a step further? You can with the Safari Web Inspector, and you can do it by enabling the Safari "Develop" menu.
To enable the Safari Develop menu, just close Safari and type (or copy/paste) the following command into Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities):
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true
Once you enter the command, you will be able to launch Safari, load a webpage, and click Develop > "Show Web Inspector" to see the page attributes. You will be able to see the documents, stylesheets, images, and scripts.
Update: As of new versions of Safari, you can enable the Develop menu by going to Safari > Preferences > Advanced, and click on the "Show Develop menu in menu bar." Thanks to everyone in the comments for pointing this out!

How many BP oil spills are we leaking into the air?
On April 20, 2010, a wellhead blew out on British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon drilling platform off the coast of Louisiana. But was the BP oil spill better or worse than all the natural gas that's being leaked into the atmosphere?
Is natural gas really cleaner than oil?
Just like natural gas is cheaper than oil if you're using a simple and short-sighted analsysis, it is also cleaner than oil if you're just counting the CO2 emissions from burning it as fuel. But that comparison ignores the fact that natural gas itself is a powerful greenhouse gas that vents during the manufacturing process, gets blown out of compressors during the transportation process, and leaks during the distribution process…
Is natural gas really cheaper than oil?
The price of commodities like natural gas and oil are determined by supply and demand. While oil production in the United States has been stagnant, we've seen a huge increase in natural gas production. Despite the controversial nature of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, we're doing 20 to 30 times as much of it now as we used to just a few years back…

Kinder Morgan don't care much about history
In addition to the absolute bare minimum effort Kinder Morgan put into its pre-filing submission to FERC, it seems the company also put an absolute bare minimum of effort into contacting the necessary state agencies. Not the bare minimum of a kid doing his B-block math homework during A-block English class, but the bare minimum of a silent film villain twirling his mustache while cackling about his evil plans…
Opinion: Why Kinder Morgan Isn't More Forthcoming
SPCC Member Nick Miller details his frustrating experience dealing with Kinder Morgan and the unanswered questions that the company has been so far unwilling to address.

Eagle Village posts a fair assessment about the quality of its accommodations on its website: "As time moves on, however, it also takes its toll. Built in the 1980's, our accommodations are dated and show normal wear and tear for their age." It definitely ain't no spring chicken. Thankfully, Tripadvisor reviewers weren't wrong when they said the place was clean,... More
