Anything by Wodehouse set at Blandings Castle is worth it's weight in gold. Even better than the (wonderful) Jeeves books that get so much more attention.
Early Wodehouse and the first in the Blandings series, Something Fresh suggests to me the author trying on something new for size and gradually making himself comfortable. Particularly at the beginning of the book there is rather more descriptive chit-chat than I associate with the later works, and, of course, he is developing the cast of characters at Blandings that fans will come to love - Beach, Freddie Threepwood, the Efficient Baxter and Lord Emsworth himself. All four are immediately recognisable even if Beach is to become less hypochondriacal, Freddie marginally less vacuous, Baxter more Machiavellian and Clarence obsessed with fat pigs. We expect some characters to appear briefly on the stage to be replaced in later books by others of their ilk - the ingénue roles, the fat crooked investigator, the dyspeptic American millionaire - but other apparently established characters don't make the cut. The chatelaine of Blandings is Lady Anne Warblington, a sister of Emsworth's and an indistinct figure beside sister Connie who succeeds her. They do share a tendency to retire to their bedrooms at the first sign of trouble. The housekeeper, Mrs Twemlow, an important domestic figure, only makes one more brief appearance in the saga. McAllister must be in post but gets only one line, unnamed, as the "autocrat from Scotland". There are two 'young men in spats' visiting Blandings, Percy, Lord Stockheath, a cousin of Freddie and Algernon Wooster, a cousin of Percy, who plays billiards. Neither is heard of again: a pity as they might have helped to place Bertie in his extended family.
Something Fresh was first published in America as Something New, with Ashe and Joan, hero and heroine, being cast as Americans. PGW rewrote the characters as English for the retitled UK issue. He didn't bother to change a couple of references to the US dollar - the rent for a room (with breakfast) in a court just off Leicester Square was $5 / week and half a dollar would buy you a roast dinner at Simpsons in the Strand. David Jasen in his Readers Guide to the Wodehouse oeuvre suggests that this book is often forgotten when discussing Blandings, possibly because it was published by Methuen rather than Herbert Jenkins.
Other reviewers have described the plot more than adequately. It is well constructed but does rely on various coincidences and eavesdroppings: PGW takes a little dig at himself by having his hero, Ashe Marson, who earns his living by writing penny-dreadful crime stories, confess that all his own plots hang on such unlikely events. The other feature that deserves mention is the great detail with which PGW describes life below stairs. Fans of 'Upstairs, Downstairs' and 'Downton Abbey' would enjoy reading the book for that alone.
This is an excellent novel, Wodehousian in every way and thoroughly enjoyable. Souffle-light, witty to the nth degree and an absolute pleasure.
Well worth the full five stars, even if, and I agree about this, we are not here in the masterpiece league of the Jeeves and Wooster series.
Also, if you're coming to this from the latest BBC 'Blandings' series, beware: Lady Ann makes no appearance; the Empress is not, I think, even mentioned; Lord Emsworth takes only a minor role. All these delights await in future novels in the series ...
Ashe Marston and Joan Valentine, two young impoverished pulp writers, find themselves linked in an effort to steal a valuable artifact from an earl's private museum. They go disguised as a lady's man and valet, but it doesn't take long for the butler and the secretary, the Efficient Baxter, to become suspicious of Marston. Meanwhile, Joan's old school friend, an American engaged to the earl's hapless younger son, is pursued by a vigorous old friend. In true Wodehouse fashion, hijinks will ensue and it will all come right in the end. Downton Abbey fans will particularly enjoy the satire of the strict customs of the servantry in a large house. For instance, can the chauffeur eat with the upper servants, or is he just a glorified coachman?

DEFINITION of 'Stopped Out'
The execution of a stop-loss order. Stopped out refers to when an investor predetermines a price at which they want to sell if the stock's price falls, they place a stop-loss order. If they purchase a stock for $35 a share and doesn't want to continue holding the stock if it falls to $30 a share, they would place a stop-loss order for $30. If the stock did in fact fall to $30 a share, the investor's stop-loss order would be executed and the investor would be stopped out.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Stopped Out'
While stop-loss orders are an effective strategy for limiting potential losses, they will sometimes be executed because market conditions are volatile or because the stock itself is volatile and not because the stock has experienced a lasting drop in price. The aforementioned $35 stock might fluctuate throughout the day and drop as low as $27 only to close back up at $36. The investor who placed a stop-loss order at $30 would no longer own the stock at the end of the day because they would have been stopped out, but this result could be undesirable since the stock ended up rising again rather than continuing to fall.

Who do you think are the coolest characters on The Vice created for RPGs? Give reasons for why you think they are cool.
<_< >_> NewDeath and Nerx >:I
Newdeath beacuse he was the reason I wanted to RP and because he can stay in character even if you mess in rp (Like mis spelling a word or when you misunderstand a question) and wil just go with the flow while rping I think it's awesome. And if by chance you really I mean really overpower your character or do something story related to his character that he does not like he will politly tell you he thinks it is not a good idea and work something out with you and almost never makes you feel like a idiot, not to mention he is not scared to tell you if something makes no sense or is stupid.
Willeryweb because he is really smart and you can have a decent argument with him without him being a jerk about it, and he puts effort into about every single post he makes and also he has a few characteristics from newdeath too.
Subline because she is really good at rping and is a really interesting and fair character also she is really nice from what I have seen.
Kao, because he is a really easy and fun guy to RP with I think he may be the nicest person I have seen on the vice. And a great body guard.
Nerx because he is really funny at times and cool to rp with
Kas from what I've seen he is a really cool guy and brings interesting and new things to gekido.
Sanata mainly because she let me in to gekido and she is really nice also she can put things in order when things get out of hand in gekido (Nerx eating people)

Carol singers rejoice at pay-by-tap credit card donations
Carol singers in Covent Garden aren't taking cash donations this morning - instead they're accepting tap-to-pay credit cards, but by a lucky coincidence BarclayCard has staff handing them out nearby. The winter warblers are from the London Community Gospel Choir, and the donated money will go to the Help a Capital Child fund, …
Plenty to gain
The customer may not gain anything, but the customers behind him in the queue will. Either time, since he's paying quicker, or his credit card details, if they have an NFC skimmer.
Sponsored by Barclaycard.
This is my second cynical comment in less than two minutes. Can't imagine it's got anything to do with the time of year.
Credit cards already have contact-less payments built in
Mine don't anymore.
Ah, you probably fried the chip in the microwave
or drilled it out or something similar, right?
Here in Australia at least (and probably in the UK if it hasn't already) the banks and credit card companies have already gotten wise to this move.
My card has one of those damnable NFC chips on it, because I don't have the choice - it's either that or cash, which, thanks to deregulation, the banks now charge everyone $2 every time we use an ATM, specifically to discourage people from withdrawing cash. So you can either fork out $2 every time you visit a hole in the wall, which very quickly adds up if you're only pulling out a small amount each time, or you can withdraw a huge amount of cash to save repeated $2 fees, and risk being robbed. The system really is geared to push you to use your card all the time.
So I tried wrecking the chip on my card, but then I found that if the store you're buying from has NFC ability on their EFTPOS machines, THE FUCKING THINGS WON'T ACCEPT THE CARD FROM A MAGNETIC SWIPE.
That's right, if your card is "flagged" as an NFC capable card, the machine tells you to use the NFC device instead of swiping the magnetic strip and *refuses the transaction* otherwise. Only if the store doesn't have an NFC reader will it accept the magnetic strip swipe. And those stores are getting to be few and far between, as local businesses "upgrade" their systems.
Which means that destroying the NFC chip now renders your card unusable in a majority of locations.
It's just one more example of how our corporate overlords FORCE the uptake of these new technologies, by simply removing any other choice from the system. Who needs guns to people's heads when you can simply lock them out in the cold if they refuse to comply?
I had to wait two weeks while I waited for the new card I requested from my bank to arrive, to replace the one I 'accidentally' damaged the chip on.
The next item I purchased was a lead-lined wallet.
The NFC chip was incorporated into the chip & PIN chip, so I used a spot-face cutter, a magnifying glass and a very powerful laboratory light source to locate and break the aerial wires.
It's only my credit card for online use (for the protections built-in and I chose one with an online fraud guarantee), so I don't need it to work in a shop as I'm never going to use it there. I would certainly like to have the choice of what technologies my card uses!
The majority of carol singers I have heard would actually have to pay me to listen.
Where is the Cheese icon?
It it can be anonymous
I don't mind a tap card that I can load with cash at a newsagents or anywhere else that does not have my personal information.
But the minute I know it is tracking my spending, well, thanks but no.
Another micros~1esque vision of the future, played out on the shopping public?
More people coming to my house with a seven second burst of:
"We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
... And a happy new year.
Good tidings we bring,
To you and your KING,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
... And a happy new year."
They don't even bother to learn the words. Now my excuse of not having any money on me isn't going to work.
OI! Give us our winter solstice back
can't these modern 'pretend' religious lot get their act together and have their own 'Christian' festival some time soon. Oh no I forgot, their made-up baby birthday story is just that, twoddle, so they had to hijack a perfectly good (science-based) reason to celebrate the winter solstice which folk hereabouts have been enjoying for thousands of years longer than their made-up mumbo-jumbo.
Had to be said <rant over>
Can't wait till some folk are asked to just put their cards through this 'ere swippery contraption - cos the wiretap (sorry witless) connection to Barclay's is down - ooo thanks, now we cloned your card too!
oh goody
My stripper friends have been waiting for this for about 10 years.
slightly off topic
These newfangled rfid chips in cards , apparently you just wave it a machine and for purchases under a tenner, or whatever , the transaction is done.
So people are all up in arms saying "How do i know when crims are RFIDing tenners out of my wallet?" And quite rightly so.
So i have 2 questions
1) What the fuck is the point? How does it save either party any time, effort or money?
(The time it takes to push four buttons for your PIN is insignificant)
2) Can I drill a hole in the chip on my card to disable it and still use the mag strip as normal?
ok 3 questions..
3) Have there been any reported cases of crims abusing this new "Feature" ?
1.) How does it save time?
Chip and PIN: Time to insert card in (after waiting for prompt to insert card), wait for few seconds for reader to prompt for PIN, enter PIN, wait for reader to continue with transaction, wait for "Remove Card", and then remove card.
Contactless: Wait for prompt. Tap card (can still be in wallet if only 1 contactless payment card present).
2.) Destroy chip and just use magstripe?
Since the vast majority payment card fraud involves the use of magstripe data, I'm at a loss for words that anyone would be so.. so.. well, bonkers, as to want to remove the security features of a card (i.e. the bits which can't be cloned), and revert to the easiest and most cloneable magstripe!
yeah but ...
ok AC , if thats your real name ,
answer 2) i refer you to my question 3 . theres more mag strip crime thats cos its been around for 25 years longer . If rfid is more secure with some realtime challenge/response or whatever then fair enough , but i cant see how if just have to wave your wallet around.
answer 1 is what i dont understand - obviously all the authentication and data reading and stuff has to go on either way - wether its done wirelessly or by swiping
So why not keep that extra layer of security - i.e why , after waving your wallet at the machine can we not spend 1.5 seconds banging in a 4 digit PIN?

Kizmet's Info...
Hahn's Macaw
Kizmet is a four year old Hahn's Macaw. As you can see, when he first came to rescue, he had stripped feather shafts (he didn't pluck, but would actually strip the shaft of the feathers). You can see that he is no longer over grooming as much as he once was and with more time and a continued improved diet, his feather condition will also improve. He also enjoys taking showers with me now! Kizmet is a typical Hahn's, he can be a little pushy and is always trying to get into trouble (tried to eat my pencil, my keyboard, the mouse, the buttons on my shirt, my cup, my phone, the remote, etc... obviously he likes to chew on things and will need A LOT of toys at all times and to have them changed out often for variety!) but he is a VERY nice bird! Like most macaws, he picks one person in the home he likes and does not want anyone else to handle him. Once he trusts you (he is slow to trust, so you have to be patient with him), he will step up for you and will try to steal food off of your plate! Once he chooses you, he is very trusting, you can do anything with him and he is comfortable with it. He will eat pellets and almonds, but so far doesn't seem interested in fruits and vegetables, unless you hand feed him, the spoiled little brat! Kizmet can talk a little; he says "Hello" and makes various clicks that he likes you to repeat back to him. He also laughs A LOT! Kizmet does want A LOT of human companionship; he would like to be out of his cage and with you 24/7! Kizmet seemed a little scared of dogs and cats at first, but he has now gotten used to them and seems fine around them, other birds also do not bother Kizmet. Hahn's macaws are the smallest of the Mini macaws, measuring about 12-14 in length, but they have all the sass of the big boys! Hahn's can live to be 40-50 years old, so if you decide to adopt Kizmet, he would be a lifelong companion!

Eight days until Christmas and a very Christmas-y roundup for you. Sorry about the scary guy. But he's Krampus, an Austrian Christmas tradition, and he's upset about the results of a new poll that leads the religion news this morning.
More tinsel, less gospel
Our own Cathy Lynn Grossman makes the data sing a jolly but not too religious tune today with the news that nine in 10 Americans will celebrate Christmas this year, but increasing numbers see the holiday as an opportunity for mostly secular fun. The Public Religion Research Institute poll also tells how Americans prefer that stores and businesses welcome them with the more generic "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" than "Merry Christmas."
Rev. Frank will not go quietly
He presided over the marriage of his son to another man, and then went before a United Methodist Church court, which suspended his collar for 30 days. A month has passed, but the Rev. Frank Schaefer said Monday he will refuse to surrender his clergy credentials voluntarily and continue to perform gay marriages in opposition to his denomination's orders. Thursday, the Lebanon, Pa. pastor learns his fate, which could be nothing short of defrocking.
Tony Perkins says I told you so
Social conservatives are doing a sort of victory dance over a federal judge's ruling that a Utah law prohibiting polygamy is unconstitutional. It's not that social conservatives approve of renegade Mormons who practice "plural marriage," explains our own Sarah Pulliam Bailey. It's just that their prediction that the increasing acceptance and legalization of gay marriage would boost polygamy and all other sorts of socially unacceptable practices, appears to them to have come true.
Gay marriage comes early for the terminally ill
Gay marriage will be legal in Illinois in June, but that's not soon enough for gay couples in which one of the partners is terminally ill, and might not make it to that day. A federal judge has ruled that such couples may get married starting Monday. Challis Gibbs and Elvie Gibbs, who recently entered a civil union, will take advantage of the new date, because Gibbs has cancer. She says:
When I die, I want Elvie to be able to say, `I lost my wife.' I don't want her to have to say, 'I lost my civil union partner.'
Birthday breakfast, pope style
Pope Francis celebrated his 77th birthday by celebrating Mass and having breakfast with four homeless people and a dog that belongs to one of them, who live near the Vatican hotel where the pope lives. Happy Birthday, Uncle Frank. Many happy returns and thanks for all the news stories.
Harold Camping dies
The radio preacher and founder of Family Radio who kept predicting the return of Jesus and kept getting it wrong, is now probably having an interesting conversation with St. Peter. Camping was 92, and had been married for 71 years.
British Muslims selling alcohol threatened with lashes
Extremist Muslims are threatening to give 40 lashes to Muslim shop owners who are violating Shariah by selling alcohol. So what is the British punishment for giving someone 40 lashes?
Should you give cash or cows at Christmas?
A study of interest to anyone who gifts through charity this season: Christianity Today publishes a report on the relative impact of different types of charitable giving on the poor abroad: micro-lending vs. direct grants vs. groups such as Heifer International. Heifer supporters are going to feel great after reading this, but there are also some surprises about where your money may do more and less good. The methods and math look solid to me, but I was a history major.
Churches' Instagram Christmas
Reuters reports that an increasing number of U.S. religious groups are looking to Instagram and YouTube this Christmas to impress parishioners and potential parishioners. We're talking Instagram advent calendars, services on a Playstation channel and virtual choirs. Said DJ Chuang, host of the Social Media Church, a podcast with church leaders about social media:
Instagram is like the modern day stained glass window . . . They use it to tell the stories of the church.
I never heard of him (it?) either! An interesting little Christmas-y story in USA Today tells of four legendary characters, other than St. Nick, who share the Christmas spotlight with him in Italy, Austria, and elsewhere. Two are naughty and two are nice and, as you can imagine, the one named "Krampus" is not one of the nice ones.
Will you get snow on Christmas?
Check your chances of a white Christmas in your area.
More than 50 rabbis to shave their heads
"Superman Sam" aka Samuel Asher Sommer, was the eight-year-old son of Reform rabbis who died of leukemia this past weekend. In response to his mother's request, more than 50 rabbis so far have pledged to shave their heads and raise money for pediatric cancer research. The shaving will take place at the Reform Movement's Central Conference of American Rabbis conference in Chicago — where Sam lived — in March.
– Lauren Markoe
Give us your email and we'll send you the Religion News Roundup each weekday — and no offers, ads or giving your name to Krampus.

Angelina Jolie's Daughter Vivienne Cast in Mom's 'Maleficent' (REPORTS)
Like mother, like daughter? Angelina Jolie's daughter Vivienne has been cast in her mother's upcoming film Maleficent.
Four-year-old Jolie-Pitt will reportedly play a minor role as the younger version of Elle Fanning's character Princess Aurora in the fairy tale flick.
Set for a March 2014 release date, the live-action 3D fable explores the origins of Disney's iconic villain from Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent.
How much screen time will the superstar mother-and-daughter pair share?
Despite having a minor role in the film, the chances that Vivienne -- twin sister to Knox -- will act side-by-side with her mom are pretty high, considering that Jolie stars as the titular sorceress who casts the sleeping spell on the princess.
A source close to the Oscar winner told The Sun, "Ange thought it would be a fun experience for her and Viv to share, and Viv is a natural."
Talent certainly runs in this gene pool. Older sister Shiloh, 6, had a cameo as dad Brad Pitt's on-screen daughter in 2008's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Not to mention that a 6-year-old Jolie appeared alongside her father, actor Jon Voight, in 1982's Lookin' to Get Out.
Maleficent hits theaters on March 14, 2014.

- Includes visible advertising for developer. Free limited to 10 concurrent chats.
Four interfaces - Bar, Chat, Shout and Mobile.
Implemented as a Web 2.0 application and hosted on our servers, BlastChat delivers fast and reliable communication solution to your website without heavy load on your server, without worries about bandwidth and with no system level administration needs on your end.
You do not have to be a computer programmer or system administrator to implement professional chat. BlastChat installs in minutes, requires no coding on your part and your chat rooms can be up and running TODAY!
BlastChat is the perfect solution for general community chatting, online moderated interviews or teaching sessions, customer support or any other use you might need, whether you need to communicate with a single person or hundreds.
More about BlastChat features can be found at our homepage.
(Editor's note is incorrect)
I hope you help me or give me the optimal way to do transtaltion to the frontend interface of your awesome component !
Thanx in advance.
All the words available for translation are listed on our website under Support/Configuration/languages section.
The "members" or "guests" are group names and those can be adjusted in the groups.js file (detailed explanation in the Support/Configuration/groups.js), specifically the "bcgroup.name" parameter.
You get a 7 day Trial and after that you are allowed just 10 USERS ONLY CHAT LIMIT. You need to pay hundred to six hundred dollars per year for more.
10 user chat limit is useless for most users and is an eyewash.
The chat as such is good but they force you to accept while registering - "I will add a Blast chat link on my front page".
Summary - Chat is good but is too expensive. It would have been good if they increase concurrent chatters to 50 for free version then I would have given 5 stars. Limit of 10 users makes it useless for me so I have to give it ONE star.
NOTE: I have seen replies where they just deny it all. They might reply to this saying NO its totally FREE and all but check the product fully. I wasted my time installing this only to realize it not FREE.
- auto-integrate with your joomla users
- makes the chat private for guests (if you want to)
- gives you total moderation control
- looks very solid, and functions properly
- total controls over the logs
IMPORTANT: All the best words for Mr. Peter Saitz and blastchat crew, who provided me swift and detailed support on the configuration AND implementation of the chat into my site (although it wasn't that connected to the chat). All compliments to responding in less then hour on most mails.
I believe placing blastchat link on the site is quite a fair thing to do considering you can use it for free, considering the effort these guys put into it. Payed version is very fairly priced, and has great options too.
NOTE: I had a problem of placing user login form on the same menu/page as the chat. If you logoff from the same page, chat will report an error, because joomla keeps the data while you're still on page. I solved it by removing the login form from the chat window page. Hope it helps you.
Not to mention the prompt unmatched service! I have never had service like this from any module i have downloaded. He took the time needed to get this thing running the way i wanted! Thank you
Blessings be upon you and your great company.
BlastChat for the win.
Blastchat is a great component/module/plugin pack, once you're set up its very easy to work out and runs itself. I had a small 'bug', which I went to the forum to fix, the admin/developer saw my post within 20 mins, asked me for a URL, and come joined me on my site!
He diagnosed my version was out of date in seconds, and hung around whilst I updated it. This fixed the problem instantly, and my users DIDN'T EVEN LOSE THE CONNECTION whilst it updated!! Just a refresh, away we go.
I cannot thank him enough, and cannot recommend it enough.
One thing I'd LOVE to see - an IRC connector so we could self host! That would ROCK. Oh and an iPhone skin!
Give it a try, you won't regret it.
It has been a godsend to our business and our web site! Our members rave about the chat room, it never goes down or gives me problems, and when I email ChatBlast they respond in a professional and timely manner.
This is by far the best Joomla chat component out there and I would never even consider using another one.
Don't waste your time and money with the others, just download this one!
The module is useless. It doesn't figure out who is actually in chat, but who is online on the website, then gives you a little light-up smilie if that user is in chat.
I'm getting pretty desperate for a chat client for my site, but not so desperate to continue using this one... sorry. I'm only looking because some of my users are having issues with jPFChat loading.
Dear Sir, let us respond to each of your paragraphs individually:
1. what you wrote is incorrect, we require that you create public access to BlastChat component, not to chat itself. The chat administration allows you to fully configure access to chat and rooms (disable guests, etc).
2. this concerns BlastChat WhoIsOnline module (which does not belong under this extension and should not be included in the review), but let me explain module functionality: module does figure out who is online, on top of it it figures out who is chatting. To present online and chatting members, it is natural to show all online usernames and indicate by a smilie usernames of members who are chatting. Of course, module configuration can be adjusted so that it only shows usernames of members who are chatting (not all online members) and smilie can be removed also. (So, module can do and does exactly what your complain about module uselessness was all about)
3. we understand your frustration and we are sorry you judged BlastChat too quickly without either exploring BlastChat features and options more deeply or consulting us about your website chat system requirements and needs. We are always ready and happy to assist in such requests.
To sum it up, based on your review we do not understand why only 2 stars vote would be appropriate as you did not list any real functionality problems. We hope you will take a second look at BlastChat and form new, hopefully better, opinion.
with best regards
BlastChat team
the best thing is the support! really good people are working for this extension, and gives the best support to users. im planing to susbscribe... thans you guys!
Users and flagged as inactive after a couple minutes of inactivity and there is no option to change this. It may be an option in the paid version, don't know.
No option to change the audible notification.
I left several messages in the support forum and received no reply.
I set my chat room up as 100% private and not published. Out of the blue, some guy from Bolivia starts chatting with me and informs me that the room is published.
I uninstalled for security reasons. It's impossible to know who had what kind of access to my site via this component.
I apologize that we did not update information here, announcing that we are in a process of beta testing our new web 2.0 chat implementation, that is only reason why you experienced some problems.
1. users flagged as inactive: you are referring to a module (not chat), this was due to a small error in our code, as well as small error in your configuration of the chat. It is working correctly now. Thank you for pointing it out.
2. you can turn on/off audible notifications (changing the sound itself is not yet implemented)
3. you left 1 forum message and sent 1 email to us. Because we are in a process of upgrading our website, forum has been disabled. But, we did responded to your email (twice) with no response yet.
4. joining blastchat network, your rooms are visible to chatters of other websites. We did not activate "access features" yet, i.e. options to disable access, these settings were visible in Config area by a mistake.
5. no one has access to your website over this component, they can only enter your rooms (but on other hand it is completely free with no limits during this period). We would appreciate if you would explore our BlastChat Client code before you post such an accusation.
If you respond to my email, we will be happy to go into details on the chat implementation, as well as help you set it up correctly, tuned to your needs (like we did for thousands webadmins before you)

text: House Appropriations Chair Threatens IRS with 'Conditional' Funding Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 3 Jun 2013 post a comment More: IRS Scandal Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY), the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, suggested on Monday that Congress may have to make future funding of the IRS "conditional" based on whether the IRS adequately implements various reforms to ensure partisan targeting does not happen again. "We will not tolerate another political enemies list," Rogers said. Rogers suggested the IRS may have to give Congress progress reports to assure Congress that the agency is spending the funds appropriated to the agency in a way that is deemed satisfactory. He said he may recommend to the full Committee that funding for the IRS be conditional. Rogers said "conditional funding" was a "straightjacket," and though he does not want to recommend such an action, Congress has done it before with the Coast Guard and will be more than willing to do so again if necessary. Rogers said that Congress has the power of the purse and, "we're prepared to use that purse to get to the truth."

Why isnt WPA2 an automatic update?
If youre using Wi-Fi in your workplace, chances are, youre using WPA2 security. After all, nothing else is worth using. WEP (extended or otherwise) was cracked virtually before it was even released, despite the obvious misnomer, you do not want to be using this! WPA came a while later, and is several hundred times more secure. Unfortunately, WPA is also susceptible to wireless cracking techniques and if you arent using a strong password, its even less secure than a WEP-encrypted network.

Bravotv.com: What makes the new season different?
Gail Simmons: Johnny and I were raring to get started with the new season, and right off the bat you'll notice a number of differences: One, Johnny lost the pompadour. By choice. He looks fantastic -- although he always looks fantastic. And, the other thing you're going to notice is that we demand a lot more of our chefs this year. The M.O. for this season is make it bigger, make it better, make it sweeter, make it taller. Although the first Quickfire might seem deceptively easy, the results weren't that impressive. And the Elimination Challenge really turned our pastry chefs upside-down and made them realize this season is not just going to be about plated desserts. It's about showing all your skills at a really high-level. And the talent this season is up for the task.
Bravotv.com: Well, let's start with that disappointing Quickfire Challenge. The chefs had to recreate or make soda shop desserts.
GS: We met them on the pier in Santa Monica early in the morning. I had a bad cold and was wondering whether I may not sound like myself. And it was colder than I expected, which is why I'm wearing a jacket.
Bravotv.com: We loved that jacket!
GS: It was one of our producer's! I was wearing a silk blue shirt underneath and we kind of got out there and it was freezing cold, so, I literally took that leather jacket off of Casey Kriley's, our executive producer's, body, and wore it on the show!
Bravotv.com: But we digress…
GS: So, we thought this would be a fun way to start off. We put them in a very traditional soda shop atmosphere and asked them to create a dessert based on a classic soda shop treat, but using all of their creative skills, and their imaginations. What we didn't want was seven banana splits. And what we got was five banana splits and two other desserts. A bit disappointing. We were so surprised that the chefs we know are so capable of blowing our minds, gave us pedestrian food. The first challenge, especially when they're in this very cramped little space, is always very difficult. But we had a few desserts that we liked.
Carlos and Rebecca's cereal bowl milkshake was fun. It had great texture, and it was different because they made a shake, so, it was just refreshing to see something in another format other than just on a plate or in a sundae bowl.

LANCASTER — Ryan Rodriguez kicked a 19-yard field goal with seven seconds left to propel Mansfield Summit to a 29-27 win over Lancaster on Friday night at Beverly D. Humphrey Tiger Stadium.The win clinched a playoff berth for Summit, which drove 67 yards in less than two minutes to set up winning kick for Rodriguez. "I was just thinking I have to do this for my team," said Rodriguez who had two other field goals earlier in the game. "I'm only a junior, so I knew I had to do it for the seniors." Summit (5-5 overall, 5-2 District 15-4A) will play Nacogdoches at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Forney.The Jaguars, who enter the 4A Division 1 bracket, started the season 0-3 but have since won five of their past seven games.Drama has followed Summit — all of its wins this year have come by a touchdown or less."They fight to the end," Summit coach Travis Pride said. "Sometimes they drive me crazy."Lancaster's Shannon Simpson scored on a 9-yard touchdown run to put the Tigers up 27-26 with 2:21 left in the game. That capped an 11-play drive for Lancaster (4-6, 3-4) following a 1-yard touchdown run from Summit's Jordan Hester. Summit was boosted on its final drive by a personal foul penalty by Lancaster. Lane Schwab dropped a pass from Braden Nolen but was hit after the play, tacking on 15 yards and putting Summit into field goal range.Two plays later, Nolen connected with Johnson Ubani for a 21-yard pass down to the Lancaster 7. "I was just thinking [before final drive] that we have to go out there and get it done, all that we've practiced for, and we just went out and did it," Nolen said. The sophomore finished 23-of-28 passing for 264 yards and had a 41-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Aikens to give the Jaguars a 7-6 lead.

I assume you are referring to Sir Anthony Babington MP c.1475-1536, although you do not mention any dates. I do not know of any connection with Gravesend in Kent. His parents' manor was at Dethick in Derbyshire, and he lived with his second wife Catherine Ferrers at the manor at Kingston-on-Soar in Nottinghamshire where he built the church and chantry, and where he died. As an MP and lawyer he would have been well connected with London, but I see no reference to Gravesend in his biographical notes in the History of Parliament. I think you must be thinking of a much later Babington of a different family.
