A Craft Beer Guide to Cape Town
Rob PetersThe rise of craft beers in Cape Town has been rapid. Capetonians will no longer assault their gullets with mass-produces lagers. They want variety and they want quality. I spoke to Martin Tucker, owner of The Beer Merchant, and one of the organisers of the Cape Town Festival of Beer, to get a better understanding of craft beer around the city. Basically I wanted a guide on what the Mother City has on tap. He broke the market down into three different categories: breweries, tap rooms and places.
What to do on a Sunday in Cape Town?
Nicole BiondiI know - silly question isn't it? Naturally there are always loads of things to do in Cape Town on a Sunday, especially when that Sunday is a summery one. I could join the rest of my running fraternity and have an early morning jog alongside the twisty ocean-flanked road between Seapoint and Camps Bay, while drinking in the incredibly beautiful views. I could meander up the road from my house in Woodstock, stop for the Sunday papers and pick up some still-warm, dripping with syrup and smothered in coconut 'koeksiesters' (a Cape Malay donut-like treat) to have with my Field Office coffee. And most importantly, I could indulge in one of my absolute favourite Sunday brunch-time pursuits - I could head to the Winchester Mansions Hotel for their weekly Sunday Jazz brunch.

New Motorola Mobility badge: Too late for this pinball machine lover
Motorola, or at least the Mobility bit of it owned by Google, has a new logo with a different font and a rainbow circle: but it's too late to help some distressed pinball machine fanatics who've been crying inside for many years. I should explain that I have a very personal relationship with the Motorola logo - and with pinball …
I think we're missing a trick here..
I like the idea of a Williams smartphone.. how about an AtariPhone tool with a faux wood finish?
Re: I think we're missing a trick here..
Chuck in a good quality emulator and some Atari games and I'd buy one.
Williams Smartphone
You have to put a coin in the SD card slot every time you want to make a call.
Then you have to whack it.
But not hard enough to set off the tilt detector.
However, if you talk well enough, the next call is free.
Williams out of the pinball business was a terrible loss
With the passing of years I go out less and less. But the few times I do I still miss dropping a few coins into one of those wonderful machines. The very few pinballs I've spotted since 2005 or so are so poorly designed and built that you don't want to play on them.
Pinball Exhibition
It's on the wrong continent for me, but for anyone near Chicago in October...
Re: Pinball Exhibition
That's a long way to go for a game of Defender.
In old school pinball machines the relays *are* the computer.
It's why they call it "Relay ladder logic"
But otherwise "Hello moto," again?
One of these days I have promised myself I will get myself a pinball machine - though I do fear it will fail in a thousand horrible different ways. So then of course you have the decision of which machine to buy
I knew someone who had one.
and then he got married and so had to sell it.
Have you ever noticed how in "I am legend" Will Smith lives on his own for years then it took only 24 hours for him to die after a woman showed up... And that bitch took the last of his bacon.
Didn't she EXTEND his lifespan
As I recall, he was in the middle of committing suicide-by-monster, and she turned up and prevented his death.
Black Knight. the one with the magnets
The new logo already looks dated
While the old logo is so retro that it looks brand new.
Google would-be-hip fail - again
Typical Naieve marketing makeover
One of the things I respect about my former employer Motorola for is how little they messed with the logo over the last 75 years. When I was there around 2002 there was a big push to appeal to the teen market. To move away from the brand that made car and police radios.
The mantra was "not my father's Motorola". The marketing genius, Geoffrey Frost identified much on mobile as the Next Big Thing (shame the software teams let him down), and initiated "Hello Moto".
He offered Jony Ive whatever he wanted to move to Motorola.
And through all this he didn't change the logo or font. I've met lots of very smart marketing people and Frost was head and shoulders above the lot.
Whenever a new 'hot-shot' marketing person starts at a company they do two things - mess with the logo and fire the advertising agency.
Soon after that they get fired.
Re: Typical Naieve marketing makeover
"Hello, Moto" is incredibly annoying and their ads during the Champions League a few years ago were by far the most annoying of any of the Champions League ads, which have all been crap.
Re: Typical Naieve marketing makeover
I think the best thing that came out of Motorola around that time was look of the RZR. However, I know someone who had a SLVR, which I believe was the same as the RAZR but in candybar form and it was just horrible to use and had an awful screen. I believe Mike Z was to thank for that monstrosity. He of later Nortel fame.
Custom Pinball Machine
Ben Heck is known to many of us as the man who creates game controllers for people with only one hand, or making XBOX 360 laptops... however, he was making his own pinball machine a while back.
If you have a love of hardware hacking, take a look:
His latest projects include a 3D-printed Spam-saver lid (the luncheon meat, not the unwanted email) and a PC keyboard with analogue WASD keys for gaming...
Re: Custom Pinball Machine
Quote: "and a PC keyboard with analogue WASD keys for gaming".
I'd buy one of those :-)
analogue Q & E as well for leaning round corners....
I still play Timeshock! - it was a pretty reasonable sim, and it wouldn't take much ingenuity (a few tilt switches, if you'll pardon the pun) to create a custom controller that responded to body language.
When I was a student, my addiction to Pinball made it to our Freshers welcome book, where they were advised to find me at the Pinball tables, if they needed help.
"pinball is a full-contact sport, which is why it doesn't work on a computer screen"
This. Why oh why do folks insist on continuing to try to make pinball games for the PC? They. Just. Don't. Get. It.
I'm guessing it's like a flight simulator - it's never going to be as fun as the real thing, but it's a lot cheaper.
I can't play them though, they're close enough to remind me what I'm missing.
Full Contact Pinball
Not sure about the PC, but Atari (Coin-op) made a pair of Video Pinball machines with a decently-simulated "shooter" (IMHO) and a "nudge" switch in the (very slightly) movable control-panel. The first (Disco-themed, based on the Middle Earth playfield) was called simply "Video Pinball", and sold decently but not spectacularly. The second, "Solar War" (based on the Superman playfield) was ready for production at about the time as Asteroids, so was never sold (although I heard a rumor that 300+ "kits" of electronics were sold to a Greek distributor). Having played both, I can say that the "feel", while not really up to the full mechanical experience, is miles ahead of a console or PC game, and the one I have (sadly, with broken nudge switch) is still running. Unlike my two previous "real" pinball machines.
Also pinball has been in decline for years now, it's really hard to find the real thing in pubs any more. Searching BITE for pubs with pinball in london returns just 18 results, 2 of which are listed as CLOSED, I know the hole in the wall has had medieval madness for years but its completely knackered and unplayable.
When I first started working my housemates and I bought a twilight zone pin between us, god I love that machine!
Re: Full Contact Pinball
Disco Middle Earth pinball? I'd buy that for a dollar!
The rainbow circle, just reminds me of the old '24 hour photo development' thingy that used to be in the front window of Boots shops
At last!
A great article! Finally I too can source those troublesome Williams chips.
Now if I could only figure out who makes these ones with the funny-looking uppercase sigma on them...

No Madden NFL 25 for the Wii U
EA has confirmed that the 25th anniversary of Madden NFL will not be being celebrated on the Wii U.
Madden NFL 25 is the latest in a list of EA's big guns that is skipping Nintendo's new home console along with Tiger Woods 14, Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3 and Army Of Two.
EA does claim that, despite the lack of recent support for the Wii U, they remain a stong supporter of Nintendo's platforms.
A statement from EA read, "We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future."
Thanks Nintendo World Report.

You always did tell it like it is. I have to say thank you for believing in me, and giving me confidence I didn't know I had. Thank you for seeing that there was something to be seen in me, that I didn't even know existed.
The result of giving up the search for "why" is losing the worry, the wringing of the hands, the wondering if he will call, and all the stress and sadness that goes with the worry.
The thing that I most love about Dan is that I can be myself around him. At 52 years old, I've never felt that way with any man I've dated… I believe that it's just a matter of time before all of you beautiful women on here find someone special. Don't give up!
Evan's info gave me the understanding that if a guy is interested in you, he will want to be with you, he will call when he says he will call, he will make sure he arranges time to spend with you.
"Why He Disappeared" made me feel like I was in control of my love life and that it was not in control of me. Now I'm VERY happy with myself and my relationship. I can relax and not stress about the future, I'm enjoying the here and now and its so much FUN!
If you're looking to answer your most pressing dating and relationship question, my blog is like Google for your love life!

"Readers in English have an unprecedented opportunity to see Arabic fiction at its best in "The Yacoubian Building" by Alaa Al Aswany (American University in Cairo Press, in translation). In Arabic, it's the best-selling work of fiction in years. Aswany tells the story of a building, a street, but more importantly, a country and the currents that have shaped it over a generation. This is a soulful book, one that journeys seamlessly across Egypt's borders of class, faith and identity. When it ends, we know more about Egypt, but perhaps also, we better understand the currents that shape our own lives."
From the Publisher
Alaa Al Aswany on The Yacoubian Building
Q: What was the first spark of inspiration for this novel?
A: I got the idea for this book ten years ago. I was walking in downtown Cairo and saw that the American University people were destroying an old building in order to build a new campus. I looked into the old building and saw empty rooms littered with small things the inhabitants had left behind: old towels, mirrors, student notebooks. I kept watching the scene and I thought, `Every one of these rooms has a history full of dramas.' Each room had seen a baby born, the pleasure of love, a hard-working student, the pain of a divorce, etc. I told myself, `If I can write the tale of just one of those rooms, it would be a good novel.' Some days later I began work on The Yacoubian Building.
Q: Some of Egypt's most famous actors and a much-lauded screenwriter made a film based on The Yacoubian Building. Have you seen it? How do you feel about it?
A: Yes, I have seen it in New York at the Tribeca Film Festival. I did like it and it was very good and extremely well-received. I felt that it was loyal to the novel. It kept the atmosphere and message as well.
Q: The novel is currently the best-selling book in the Arabic language, which might surprise most Westerners given its critique of government and handling of homosexuality and radical Islamists. How did the novel become so popular?
A: Probably because it's a good novel. I don't know as I don't think the author has the right to evaluate his own work. The author must write and this is his only job. It's up to the readers and critics to assess the novel.
Q: The novel seems to bemoan an encroaching corruption in Egyptian society, but that's arguably the case worldwide. Is this not, perhaps, an unavoidable aspect of democratization?
A: I believe the corruption in Egypt comes from the dictatorship. To me, democracy is actually the best thing we have to fight against corruption. In Egypt we have an undemocratic society and as a result of this we have corruption. In political science there is a known phrase that describes this principle: `total authority is total corruption.'
Q: Who are your favorite Egyptian authors, and which novels in particular do you think should be introduced to American readers?
A: I believe Noble prize winner Naguib Mahfouz is not only the best Egyptian novelist, but also the best Arab novelist. I highly recommend American readers read all of his works. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Headlines January 17, 2007 Full Show | First Story >
150 Killed in Iraq Violence
Nearly 150 people were killed across Iraq Tuesday in one of its worst days of violence in several weeks. At least 70 were killed in an attack outside Baghdad University. Most of the victims were female students. Four US troops were also killed in Mosul. The violence came as the United Nations made its announcement more than 34,000 civilians died in Iraq last year.
Gianni Magazzeni, chief UN Human Rights official in Iraq: "The civilian population remains the main victim of the prevailing security situation. Law enforcement agencies do not provide effective protection to the population of Iraq and increasingly miliitias and criminal gangs act in collusion with or have infiltrated the security forces."
Bush Wants Iraqis "to Succeed for Our Own Sake"
Meanwhile, President Bush continued to promote his plan to send another 21,000 troops to Iraq. In an interview with PBS, Bush explained his reasons for escalating the war.
President Bush: "I'm frustrated at times about Iraq because I understand the consequences of failure. I want the Iraqis to succeed for our own sake. This is a war; part of a broader war, and that if we fail in Iraq, there is a better likelihood that the enemy comes and hurts us here. And so, I am frustrated with the progress. If you were to take it and put me in an opinion poll and said do I approve of Iraq, I'd be one of those that said, no, I don't approve of what's taking place in Iraq."
President Bush says he will proceed with the escalation no matter the result of an impending vote in Congress on whether to support the White House plan. Senate Democrats are expected to announce a resolution by Thursday with the House soon to follow.
Gates: Afghanistan Troop Increase Possible
As thousands of troops prepare for Iraq, more could also be on the way to Afghanistan. Military officials are seeking additional troops amid reports violence has reached its highest level since the US invasion. The New York Times reports today cross-border attacks from Pakistan have tripled since the fall. Suicide bombings increased four hundred percent last year while roadside bombs more than doubled. On a visit to Kabul on Tuesday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said a troop increase is possible.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates: "I have been concerned in the short time I have been in this position, to ensure that the success that we have had in Afghanistan together, remain a success and not been challenged. I think it is important for us to take the initiative in dealing with the security threats that we act together on this and if the commanders in the field believe that more forces are required to do that then I would be strongly inclined to recommend that to the President."
Int. Dept. Head Knew Oil, Gas Firms Avoided Payments
A top Interior Department official is under scrutiny after it was revealed she knew oil and gas companies had avoided billions of dollars in payments two years earlier than she recently claimed. The case centers around the disclosure a bureaucratic error allowed off-shore drilling companies to avoid paying royalties for extracting oil and gas from public waters. In September, Minerals Management Service director Johnnie Burton said she was informed of the matter just last year. But Burton has now admitted she was told three years ago. An independent investigation says the government could have collected nearly one billion dollars in just the last three years.
Detainee Affairs Head Sorry for Gitmo Lawyer Boycott Call
A top Pentagon official has apologized after urging US corporations to boycott law firms whose attorneys represent prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. In a radio interview last week, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs Charles "Cully" Stimson said companies might wish to shun firms that represent "the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 2001." In a letter to the Washington Post, Stimson said those comments do not reflect his core beliefs. The Pentagon also disavowed Stimson's remarks. The apology came after groups including the American Bar Association and the deans of more than hundred and thirty law schools issued harsh condemnations.
Gonzales: Gitmo Lawyers Responsible for Absence of Trials
Meanwhile, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has given a new reason why Guantanamo prisoners have not been brought to trial. In an interview with the Associated Press, Gonzales said prisoners have not been tried because of numerous legal challenges from their lawyers. In response, Center for Constitutional Rights president Michael Ratner said: "We've been trying for five years to get the majority of the detainees in federal court. They've resisted from the first day they took people to Guantanamo."
Sen. Obama, Giuliani Nearing Bids for '08
In news from Washington, Democatic Senator Barack Obama has moved a step closer to the 2008 presidential race. In a video posted on his website Tuesday, the Junior Senator from Illinois said he is forming an exploratory committee towards a bid that could make him the nation's first black president.
Sen. Barack Obama: "For the next several weeks, I am going to talk with people from around the country, listening and learning more about the challenges we face as a nation, the opportunities that lie before us, and the role that a presidential campaign might play in bringing our country together. And on February 10th, at the end of these decisions and in my home state of Illinois, I'll share my plans with my friends, neighbors and fellow Americans."
New York Senator Hillary Clinton is expected to announce her candidacy in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani indicated he's preparing to seek the Republican presidential nomination.
Rudy Giuliani: "We are seeing how much money we can raise, how many people we can put together, we are studying the issues, we are spending lots of time studying the issues that exist now and the issues that you think might exist two years from now and determine you can make a big difference. And we'll decide some time this year."
Giuliani was speaking to the foreign press association in Rome. Giuliani's campaign suffered a possible setback this month when leaked campaign documents suggested he might drop out of the race due to insurmountable personal and political concerns.
Arrest Warrants for 3 US Soldiers in Killing of Spanish Journalist
In Spain, an arrest warrant has been reissued for three US soldiers connected to the killing of Spanish TV cameraman Jose Couso in Iraq. Couso was one of two journalists killed in April 2003 when the US military opened fire on Baghdad's Palestine Hotel. The new warrant came after the Spanish Supreme Court overturned an earlier ruling dismissing charges against the soldiers. The US government did not respond to the previous arrest warrants nor to requests to provide statements from the soldiers.
2 Charged in Oil-for-Food Case
In UN news, two people have been charged with bribery and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection to the UN's oil-for-food program in Iraq. On Tuesday, federal prosecutors unsealed indictments against former oil-for-food director Benon Sevan and Ephraim Nadler, the brother-in-law of former Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. The oil-for-food program allowed the Iraqi government to use oil revenue to buy humanitarian goods while it was under international sanctions. U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq says the UN will cooperate.
U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq: "We have yet to actually see the formal indictment. So I would wait until we have that to have any details on that. Obviously what we have been urging is for all parties to cooperate with authorities on this matter and the Secretary General today did reiterate that we would continue to cooperate as we can."
Sevan is charged with receiving $160,000 from the Iraqi government. His lawyer says the charges are baseless. Other critics have argued the charges linked to UN officials are a fraction of the billions of dollars Saddam Hussein received through key US allies Turkey and Jordan with the Bush administration's full cooperation.
Top Israeli Military Commander Resigns
In Israel, the head of the Israel Defense Forces has resigned after an internal review criticized his handling of Israel's attack on Lebanon last summer. Lt. General Dan Halutz had also come under criticism after it was revealed he sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of stock within the first hours of the war.
Iraq War Resister Denied Key Defense Strategy in Military Trial
And finally, new developments in the military tribunal of First Lieutenant Ehren Watada. The judge in the case has ruled Watada's defense won't be able to present evidence challenging the legality of the war nor explain Watada's motive to resist deploying to Iraq. Watada faces up to six years in prison. He is the first commissioned officer to refuse deployment orders to Iraq.

The Oklahoma City University Film Institute's series will continue at 2 p.m. Oct. 7 with Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War" in the Kerr McGee Auditorium of Meinders School of Business. The school is at NW 27 and McKinley Avenue.
Film series features 'Flowers of War'
Admission to all films in the series is free. The series is supported in part by the Thatcher Hoffman Smith Endowment Fund and endowments through OCU and the Oklahoma City Community Foundation.
Yimou, who was nominated for three Academy Awards, is considered one of the greatest living directors. "The Flowers of War" is a moving story set in 1937 China during the Sino-Japanese war.
A mortician, played by Christian Bale, arrives in Nanjing to prepare a priest for burial. Upon arrival he finds himself the lone adult among a group of convent girl students and prostitutes from a nearby brothel.
When he finds himself in the unwanted position of protector of both groups from the horrors of the invading Japanese army, he must confront his own identity.
Nominated by China for its 2012 Academy Award entry, "The Flowers of War" shows Zhang's vivid, visual style.

4 men sought in armed robbery of Family Dollar store in Cumru
Updated On: Sep 24 2013 05:41:44 PM CDT
Police in Cumru Township are on the lookout for four men in connection with a brazen holdup.
The robbery happened Monday night at the Family Dollar on Lancaster Avenue.
After two employees closed the store at 9 p.m., an armed man emerged from the stock room, fired a shot in the air and demanded money.
Cumru Township police arrived at the Family Dollar at 508 E. Lancaster Ave. around 9:30 p.m. to find two distraught employees.
"The two employees were very upset. We had an assistant manager and a cashier. They had been pretty much held for about 15-plus minutes with one being held motionless on the floor; the other individual, under a lot of stress, trying to open the safe," said Sgt. George Kuriger Jr., Cumru Twp. Police Dept.
Four men entered the store around 8:30, said police, adding that three of the four -- described as persons of interest in the case -- bought items and left.
The fourth man, described as a Hispanic male with facial hair, wearing glasses and a dark curly wig, however, went into the stock room.
After the employees closed up shop, police said that man emerged wearing a mask, fired a shot into the air and forced the store manager to open the safe and give him an undisclosed amount of money.
Community members said they are shocked to hear of the holdup.
"I frequent there sometimes with my mother and stuff. I am surprised," said Cirilo Rivera, of Reading.
People said they, too, would have been distraught if they were in the store.
"Startled and scared I guess. If you are seeing someone come out of your stock room all of a sudden in the middle of the night and you are by yourself or two people there, yea it would be a little surprising," said Joe Mackiewicz, of Reading.
Police said they are hoping the public will be able to help them identify these men.
"Anyone who actually know these individuals should be able to identify them. That would assist us in furthering the investigation and avoiding any further potential incidents with these individuals," said Kuriger.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to contact the Cumru Twp. Police Dept. at 610-777-9595 or Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913. A cash reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for a tip to Crime Alert that leads to an arrest.

Hertz HQ moving from New Jersey to Florida
Hertz will move its headquarters from New Jersey to Florida, putting the company in the heart of a key travel market and trimming corporate expenses after its $2.3 billion buyout of one-time rival, Dollar Thrifty.
The Associated Press
Hertz will move its headquarters from New Jersey to Florida, putting the company in the heart of a key travel market and trimming corporate expenses after its $2.3 billion buyout of one-time rival, Dollar Thrifty.
Up to 700 jobs will shift to Florida over a two-year period, the company said Tuesday. More than 2,000 Hertz and Dollar Thrifty workers will stay in New Jersey, including about 150 employees from the current headquarters in Park Ridge. All other Park Ridge workers will keep their current positions at the new headquarters in Estero, Fla., just north of Naples on the Gulf Coast.
Enterprise Florida, the state's economic development arm, said the state and local communities crafted a package of incentives worth more than $19 million to attract Hertz to Florida. Florida Power & Light, the state's largest utility, also agreed to rate reductions over a four-year period that will save Hertz about $125,000.
"Florida is the center of the U.S. travel and tourism industry," Hertz chairman and CEO Mark P. Frissora said. "This move enables us to be closer to leisure and business customers, as well as many travel and association partners."
Frissora said Hertz will offer off-airport and retail car sales stores at its new headquarters, which is within range of the Florida cities of Orlando, Miami/Fort Lauderdale and Tampa/St. Petersburg. Orlando is the world's largest car-rental market, the company said.
The new headquarters is scheduled to be completed by early 2015.
E-commerce and some financial functions will remain based in New Jersey, the company said. Customer service and IT will continue to be based in Oklahoma.
Hertz Global Holdings Group Inc. closed on its acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group in November. Dollar is based in Tulsa, Okla.
Hertz, founded in Chicago in 1918, moved its headquarters from New York City to northern New Jersey in 1988.
Hertz shares fell 15 cents to close at $24.81.

Economy Added 157,000 Jobs in January
The Labor Department announced that the U.S. economy added 157,000 jobs in January. The unemployment rate inched upward by a tenth of a point, to 7.9 percent.
The jobs figure was in line with expectations. It's a decent number, enough to keep pace with population growth, but not enough to make any real headway on the unemployment rate, which remains stubbornly high. More and more people are reentering the labor force, which requires the economy to add even more jobs in order to bring the rate down. As of last month, at least 12.3 million Americans were looking for work but could not find a job.
It's better news for the economy than what was announced earlier this week: that the economy contracted by 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012, the first time it has shrunk since the Great Recession ended years ago. The contraction was due largely to drops in government spending, which is similar to what was seen in Friday's jobs report. In it, private companies added 166,000 jobs, while government shed 9,000 positions.
Jobs numbers for 2012 were revised upward. Previously it was thought that average monthly job growth for the year was about 153,000, but that number was raised to 181,000, showing that the economy was actually a bit stronger than most people thought. The rise is due largely to revisions to November and December's results. November's jobs-added total was changed from 161,000 to 247,000, and December's was bumped up from 155,000 to 196,000.

Fourth of July: Do's and Don'ts On Fireworks On Independence Day
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Tanya Diente | July 3, 2014 8:00 AM EST
Independence Day, known as "Fourth of July," is commonly associated with parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games and family reunions. Also, fireworks give the celebration its "bang." But before lighting those sparkles, there are always safety precautions to remember.
Fireworks light up the sky over the Neva River and the Peter and Paul Fortress during the annual school leavers' night show in St. Petersburg, June 21, 2014.
Below are some do's and don'ts when using fireworks during the "Fourth of July."
1. According to ktxs, one of the most important things to remember is not to light fireworks within the city limits. There are certain laws that prohibit this and in case of a misdemeanor, the fireworks will be confiscated.
2. Lt. Mike Miller of the Abilene Fire Department said it's handy to have a fire extinguisher or water hose when popping fireworks.
3. Metrotimes suggested when using rocket launchers, a precaution would be to attach them to a sheet of plywood so they don't flip onto their sides when it shoots up the sky.
4. Take time to read safety guidelines from the National Council on Fireworks Safety or the American Pyrotechnics Association.
5. Use long neck butane lighters or fireplace match to ensure safe distance when lighting the fireworks.
6. Stay 140 feet away from aerial fireworks. Popping of fireworks in tight alleys demands every precaution possible.
7. Soak used fireworks in water before throwing them in the trash.
1. There are rules in certain states like in Abilene, Texas, prohibiting fireworks from being sold to individuals aged 16 and below and to those intoxicated.
2. Matt Smith, who owns a firework stand, said he also needs to follow rules to ensure safety of his buyers. "We can't set fireworks off 100 feet within this stand distance while it's open and we have to be so many feet off of the road to sell fireworks," he said.
3. Children should be prohibited from using or lighting fireworks. Some sparklers are safe when lighted. They should be kept away from the face, clothes and hair. Some sparklers can reach 1,800 °F (982 °C), hot enough to melt gold.
4. Don't just get away. Keep everybody at a distance. "Light and get away" is a foolish thought when lighting fireworks.
5. Don't assume any commercial product is always safe even if industry sources declare they're safer than ever.
6. Don't buy illegal fireworks, according to kidshealth.org. Legal fireworks are labeled with the manufacturer's name and directions, while illegal ones are unlabeled.
7. Don't let kids pick up used fireworks after an event. There's a possibility they could still ignite and explode.

The tour has been away since Michelle Wie`s victory at the Canadian Women`s Open. At last year`s NW Arkansas Championship, Jiyai Shin birdied the second playoff hole to defeat Angela Stanford and Sun Young Yoo. Seon-Hwa Lee also earned a hard-fought win at this event in 2008 when she birdied the final hole for a one-shot victory over Jane Park and Meena Lee. The tournament suffered an inelegant debut in 2007 when it was shortened to 18 holes after three days of weather-related problems in the wake of Hurricane Henriette. Stacy Lewis, then an amateur and the reigning NCAA champion, carded a 65 for the best score, but was not credited for an official win. Officials believed it was the first full-length tour event ever shortened to 18 holes. Shin, Lee and Lewis will be part of a field at Pinnacle Country Club that is also scheduled to feature Wie, who has begun another year of juggling golf and college. Golf Channel will have coverage of all three rounds. The tour is off until Oct. 7 when the Navistar LPGA Classic begins. Lorena Ochoa won the tournament last year, but retired earlier this season.

Accounting for capital loss and dividends
I am hoping someone can help me with the following query:
There are two companies, A and B. Both are owned 100% by the same director/ shareholder. Company B then buys the shares in Company A at an arms length valuation of £20,000. Six months later Company A ceases to trade and is effectively worthless.
We are drawing up the first year's accounts for Company B. It has accounted for the share purchase as Debit Fixed Asset Investment £20,000, Credit Other Creditors £20,000. Then, it recognises the loss and enters: Dr Loss on Investment (P&L) £20,000, Cr. Fixed Asset Investment £20,000.
If you ignore the above, and tax, the company has otherwise made a profit of £50,000 and the director/ shareholder has extracted £40,000 as a dividend. BUT...once you take into account the loss on the shares the reserves are "only" £30,000 so the dividends are illegal.
The question is...is there a way in the accounts to treat the £20,000 as a capital loss separate to the distributable reserves so the dividends are not illegal? Adding the loss back in the tax computation and showing it as a capital loss is great for the tax return but doesn't help with the accounts! I could show it as an exceptional item, but IRIS seems to automatically take it out of distributable reserves anyway so I am back to square one.
Is there a way for IRIS to somehow show it "below the line" so the dividends do not look illegal? Or can - or should - the £20,000 be shown as a capital distribution somehow ? Or should I call the £20,000 a "negative capital reserve" on the balance sheet, which sounds and is ridiculous as far as I can see!
I would appreciate any help with this.

Repurposed Doors
There is so much inspiration out there for recycled DIY repurposed furniture ideas. I've noticed during my recent flea market trips and visits to Habitat for Humanity Restore that you can easily pick up an inexpensive wooden door. Here are some amazing ideas I found for repurposed doors.
How about making a kitchen island? This is gorgeous.
This door frames a coat hanger from Buckets Of Burlap.
This salvaged door headboard is from Goodhousekeeping.com.
I love this bright yellow upcycled barn sliding door! What a fantastic statement piece! You can never go wrong with a yellow, white, and gray color combination.
Door to door versus wall-to-wall!!
So very clever! This is a salvaged door painted with chalkboard paint. You can very chicly stay organized every day of the week!
This is a repurposed screen door from ApartmentTherapy.com. I love the double storage for both up top and hanging underneath.
Not my style, but love and appreciate the creativity of this coat hanger and organization station! There are several hooks, knobs, shelves, and even a basket to hold all of your things.
Green is definitely my color! I love this idea for a door coffee table. It looks fairly simple to make as well.
Lastly, this is a recycled door turned shelving unit.

The one-vehicle incident happened on the Downpatrick Road at the junction of the Mossvale Road just before 6pm.
Alliance Down Councillor Patrick Clarke has expressed his condolences following the man's death.
"I am deeply saddened that this motorcyclist has lost his life on the road. I would like to express my sympathies to his family and friends," Cllr Clarke said. "We must do more to improve road safety to prevent further lives being lost on our roads. I know the Environment Minister has looked to improve road safety through several high profile campaigns, but it is clear that he must increase his efforts. "I would urge all road users to use extra caution when out on the road and to be vigilant of others."
Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact investigating officers.
The area between the between Comber Road and Magheralone Road was sealed off to allow for investigations to take place.
The road has since been reopened to traffic.

FSL Trust Management Pte. Ltd. (FSLTM), as trustee-manager of First Ship Lease Trust (FSL Trust), wishes to announce that the lessees of its two crude oil tankers, namely, Aqua and Action, have defaulted on their lease payments and FSLTM has demanded the redelivery of these vessels. The lessees are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Geden Holdings Ltd.
FSLTM had been in restructuring discussions with Geden since the end of 2012. However, as of the date of this announcement, the lessees have failed to pay the agreed lease payments due for Aqua and Action. The obligations of the lessees are guaranteed by Geden pursuant to the deeds of guarantee.
FSLTM has technical and commercial management contingency plans in place for the vessels and intends to deploy the vessels in the spot market for the short term whilst exploring longer term employment options. In the current market environment, lease rates are expected to be lower than those contracted in the lease agreements with the lessees.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, FSL Trust's vessel portfolio is able to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy the Trust's principal and interest payments. The default will not have a material impact on the net tangible assets per unit of FSL Trust.
Further announcements will be made as and when there are material developments in this matter, the company said.
A House of Representatives panel will hold a hearing on Dec. 11 to explore whether a decades-old law that prohibits the export of crude oil makes sense in an era of domestic energy abundance.
