Photographer Ben Toms brought to life this questionably creepy editorial for the cover for the June 2013 issue of Dazed & Confused. The shoot features young males wearing odd creature masks and sweaters that have angry animals on them. The whole thing encapsulates a rather casual "what are you looking at?" vibe.
Ben Toms relied on stylist Robbie Spencer to help him created this colorfully bizarre fashion spread. Masked figures are not really a rarity in the world of fashion but these scarecrow masks are terrifying alternatives to the usual face covering accessories we see in spreads. These furry and feathered face covers were combined with Dior, Prada and other high end designers to create this stirring collection of images.

Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Golden Eagle Retail Group Ltd., which operates department stores in China, is targeting to complete syndication of a $220 million loan next month and has asked for bank commitments by Jan. 6, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The company is offering a so-called top level all-in fee on the three-year term loan of 295 basis points more than the London interbank offered rate for banks committing $30 million and above, the person said..
HSBC Holdings Plc, Hang Seng Bank Ltd., Citigroup Inc., Standard Chartered Plc and Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank Co. are arranging the loan, proceeds of which will be partly used to refinance debt, the person said.

The entrance to the park is very nice and clean; excellent impression. The staff was so/so. One was nice and pleasant, the next not so much. I called prior to arrival to see if we could check in early. I told the girl I would pay for the night but couldn't get there til the morning. She said the site was empty (2 weeks prior to checking in), but she would note my file and if it was empty the night before they would accommodate. I called the day before and the site was still open. Keep in mind I told them I would pay for the extra night, but couldn't get there until the next morning. I was told NO because someone may come in during the evening for a site. Really? I was willing to pay the $62 for an extra night, but they wanted to see if someone would come in off the street for a spot? I guess they thought maybe they could have gotten $100 for a last minute overnight rental. Either way their greed got the best of them and they lost the $62 I was willing to pay for early check in. Attached to the store is an adult lounge where the Wi-Fi is available. Next to that is a game room; air conditioned with a nice assortment of games. All three of these facilities are immaculate. The pool area is somewhat small for the size of this campground. Chairs that weren't broken were hard to find. On the weekend, both pools were packed to the point where you are just getting kicked in the back and jumped on. That was ok because we were here for the beach and used the pool very little. The showers, bathrooms and laundry across from the pool were also immaculate. Now on to the bad part which is the cause of the low rating. We were assigned to a spot in the "P" section behind the pool. Our site was so unlevel that one side of our camper was raised 4" off the ground! The site was made up of stones and what appeared to be concrete debris. This broken up stone destroyed our patio mat as when you walked on the mat the sharp pieces of concrete went right through it! It was also very hard on your ankles to walk across this site because the size of this debris varied (some pieces the size of tennis balls), and we all found our ankles to be rolling on the rocks. The water and cable hookup for the site next to ours was right in the middle of our own site! Not in the back; not in the front, but right smack in the middle of our site. Not very comfortable or convenient. We were thankful to have a very nice couple next to us at first. It seemed like minutes after they left in comes the next camper. This person had his son helping him and I'm not sure either one of them knew what they were doing because, yes, they pulled the lever for their BLACK TANKS! Gallons and gallons of crap came flying out. They were from out of the country, and apparently had a long trip. I was sitting not 3 feet away from this, on my postage stamp. Truly the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. While this is not the fault of the campground, they should have staff overseeing the transition of their campers. Needless to say that ended our trip of being able to sit out and eat dinner. They claim the site we were given, they put 40' rigs on. There is no way a rig of that size can fit onto these sites properly. I understand it's all about the money, but when you are being charged a premium to be packed in like a sardine, it's not worth it, especially if you can't open your slide or awning, or both. It also was a safety issue as we kept tripping over the water and cable lines for the next site that were placed in the middle of our site. Additionally, we believe this site must have been dug up repeatedly because of the high middle ground. Another issue with the site was the flies. Never have I seen flies so bad! Was this site a septic site? Behind our camper towards the brush had a horrible smell of urine. Possibly, or were people using the brush as a toilet. We did see campers down the row from us dumping garbage into the brush behind their camper. Once again, I believe that is the campground's fault. They have lots of staff sweeping and starting leaf blowers at 8:00 am, but no one to assist or make sure things are ok. The office just looks at you and says: "Sorry." The sites in the back of the park are wooded with a bit more breathing room, but appeared to be quite difficult to get into as some are between trees, sites, and at odd angles with very narrow one way roads. If our site wasn't so miserable, it would have been a good stay. - campincrew
My wife & I camped here to be near a butterfly exhibit. I'm also trying all of the CG's I can in NJ as we live in NJ and we are looking for a perm home CG. We had one of new sites behind the pool which was close to the pool which was nice. The negatives were broken stone for pad for trailer to set on; preventing me from going barefoot. Site were very close together and the maintenance people started early on Sat and Sun preventing late sleep in. A previous review said they were able to get Wi-Fi at these sites we weren't. - GlennNJ
We camped here off-season in the beginning of June. The campground was pretty empty which made it very enjoyable. The restrooms had lots of mold and were rarely clean. The bathroom stalls were not nice at all. If you were to be sitting on the toilet, the stall door was against your knees (and I am not very tall). The restrooms were my biggest complaint. The pool was clean and the camp store was nice. The beach in nearby Avalon is beautiful. You do have to drive a bit to get to it. We camped here with 2 kids and a baby. - SandraGene

We had a great experience at this campground. The sites are pull through and level. There are only a few sites that aren't seasonal but the seasonals are very well kept and there is pride in ownership. The campground is very well located near Wildwood and Cape May and not far from the famous Ocean City, NJ. The Cape May zoo is right down the road and is a must (and it's free!). The staff at Driftwood are top notch and anything we needed was provided. The manager actually went above and beyond for us. Great place to stay if you are looking to enjoy Jersey's southern Shore. - Adrian'n'Rocky
VERY clean campground. The staff is exceptionally friendly. This campground does cater to seasonals, but everyone we met was very nice and helpful. The transient sites are small. Seasonal sites are MUCH larger and have a lot more shade. We had a paved parking pad and a small river rock area where the picnic table and fire ring were. Unfortunately, the picnic tables on each transient site are directly next to your neighbor's sewer hookup. It was partially shaded by large pines. The pool is large and well maintained. It is directly across from the transient sites which is nice. Store is stocked well and has reasonable prices. Laundry area is very nice and clean. - CampfireMama
We stayed here for our get acquainted period of our new travel trailer. This park is more suited toward seasonal. Not many nightly sites available. The workers i encountered were very friendly. The new pull through site we were given was close together with other sites. The sewer connection for the neighboring site was next to our picnic table (yuk). - GlennNJ

This campground has sold out to the nearby Driftwood Resort and is being converted to an "all-seasonal" resort. Pass on it. - revdon64
We were seasonal campers at Hidden Acres for years and before we became seasonal - we camped there in a pop-up for years. In the past 2 years - it has gone downhill. The new owner did not take pride in the campground like the original owners. Homeless people were given run down campers to live in all summer and the sites were dirty and full of junk. There was a rule in the contract that your site must be kept neat and orderly and your camper must look the same. I never saw so many campers with blue tarps over them and junk all over the site. Sometimes, the grass in the playground would be as tall as my knee - which became tick city! The recycling bins were filled for a whole weekend, with cans on the ground. The store is never stocked, you have to get in your car and go to WaWa or Acme just for a container of milk or eggs. And honestly - some of the seasonals there became out of control. Quiet hours start at 11. People stay up past that, which is fine, but these people would be loud, yelling. Their kids would be roaming all over the place. And the underage drinking, law suit waiting to happen! - JerseyGirl
My kids love the lake that you swim in, its fun and relaxing. And the camp is not really too far from Wildwood. - RDewitt

I have what may sound like a silly question... I planted one solomon's seal in a smallish shade border. The small plant grew big and I love it, except that I am not totally happy of the overall look because of its arching direction. Every time I look at the "ensemble", I'm telling myself that it should arch the other way to fill a void instead of crowding its neighbor. Now I need to design another shade border and will include a variegated one, but I do not want to make the same mistake. So I need to understand their arching behavior, to identify what dictates their arching direction : Is is the light? If I examine the arching pattern of a small plant, can I predict the arching behavior of the plant at maturity? You all seem to be growing Solomon's seal. What are your observations? Any info will be highly appreciated. Lynn |

It is phototropic - the stem arch (and therefore the flowers) will align themselves with the maximum sunlight availability. |
Thank you. Will take this into consideration next time! |
- Posted by birdsong72 7/Northshore NJ (My Page) on Mon, Jun 30, 14 at 12:41
Solomon's Seal is just part of the matrix of the forest floor. Why 'fuss' with that arching behavior when it's just doing what it's supposed to. There are no straight lines in nature. Or make that rarely. |
This is a lovely picture and I tend to agree with the principle. However, most city front lawn borders (in the shade) do not have the space to reach a look that is so "au naturel". I know mine needs more "intervention"... |
FYI: The variegated are not as tall so don't arch to the extreme other types do. All plants will grow toward the sun. Some even follow it as it moves through the ski. A day near a sunflower field is amazing. |

Gear Review
Burton Wheelie Board Case 09/10
Great bag,
Exactly what i was looking for! It can fit my girlfriends and my gear. 2 Boards, 2 Pairs of boots, 2 Pairs of bindings, 2 helmets, and at a squeeze jacket and pants.
I have size 15US boots and to my surprise even they fit in the internal bags included for your boots!
Not that it is a real problem for me, but be aware that the board does not have a solid floor all the way through, to save weight.
The idea being your snowboard will act as the solid base, allowing the bag to hold its shape and be easily wheeled around. If you have gear in it but with no board it would be difficult to wheel around, as it becomes like a bannana.
Other than that great bag and is exactly what i was expecting!

I received a shipment of pears for a christmas gift and racked my brains figuring out what to do with them. Most I gave to neighbors, but I reserved 2 pears for my own use. The dish was easy to prepare and delicious. I cut the ingredients since I was only cooking for 2. I substituted a cinnamon stick for aniseed, because that is what I had. My husband is diabetic so I used Splenda instead of sugar. Otherwise, I did not change the recipe. I will definitely make this again.
I used pears that were not so ripe, I wanted to simmer them for a longer time to infuse the wine, it came out wonderful. A great fall desert that isn't that high in calories. The reduced syrup made for an great presentation and the taste was so wonderful!
While this dish was pretty, I don't think the results were worth the effort or the ingredients.
This is an elegant dessert and the wine reduction is superb on ice-cream too! However, for a real show-stopper, I added the following twist: Make a mascarpone cream by lightening the mascarpone with some whipped cream, using a piping bag, fill the core hollows with the cream and top with warm chocolate sauce. Basil leaves are a lovely garnish!
I used two star anise instead of the anise seeds -- and the dish was delightful and reminescent of Parisian bistro pears I've often enjoyed. My husband liked the reduced syrup so much he insisted I save it -- and used it to make a spicy and fruity "kir" with sparkling white wine.
I reduced the recipe for 2 pears. I used about 1/2 to 3/4 of a bottle of fruity red wine ($14). I added 1/2 tsp vanilla instead of the bean, which I didn't have around and also used orange peel instead of lemon. This would be an excellent recipe if you have your own pear tree and need to use up fruit!

Citrix Releases XenServer 6.1
Citrix announces version 6.1 of XenServer – a complete server virtualization platform built on the open source Xen hypervisor.
Citrix has released a new version of its XenServer virtualization platform. XenServer 6.1 enhancements include advanced virtual machine migration, increased vendor compatibility, and automated virtual machine conversion tools.
XenServer 6.1 offers enhanced integration with leading cloud platforms. According to the announcement, direct integration with Apache CloudStack and Citrix CloudPlatform makes it easy to partition firewalls, balance workloads, and prevent attacks on systems in both public and private cloud environments.
XenServer 6.1 also includes new Storage XenMotion technology that lets admins move running virtual machines without the need for shared storage. With Storage XenMotion, live migration occurs using a "shared nothing" architecture, whereby the storage used for the virtual disks can be moved freely within and across pools for optimized storage utilization.
Additionally, the latest version provides the XenServer Conversion Manager tool, which automates batch conversions of VMware virtual machines into XenServer virtual machines.
XenServer 6.1 is available now in four versions – free, Advanced, Enterprise, and Platinum. The free edition of XenServer starts with a 64-bit hypervisor, centralized management, live migration, and conversion tools. All versions of XenServer include XenCenter management and are available on a per server licensing structure with premium editions starting at US$ 1000 per server.

"My husband and I enjoyed this, and it was quick and easy to make. I added some onion and jalapeño while cooking, and he added some sour cream after it was served, but otherwise no changes. Thanks for sharing the recipe - will definitely make this again."
"I made this on the stove instead of on the grill, and used penne instead of linguini because that is what I had on hand. We loved it and I will make it again! I did take the clams out and discard the shells and cut the larger clams into smaller pieces just to make it easier to eat."
"I loved this recipe! Baked it on a rack in the cookie sheet which made it crispy, and melted mozzarella cheese on top to make it chicken parm with spaghetti. Excellent and very easy to make. Will make again!!"
"Had some fresh radish greens and didn't know what to do with them, and this recipe worked great! Easy enough to make, and it tasted very good. The only thing I added was pepper, and my husband added a little hot sauce, but really no changes required. My immersion blender worked well also."
"Tried this for dinner tonight after getting fresh local radishes, and we really enjoyed it! Very simple to make and very tasty. I added some pepper and garlic to the oil. I also had some kielbasa to use up, so I put that in the oil mixture and roasted it in the same pan alongside the radishes. I will make it again for sure."
"Very easy and tasted very good. Next time I will add some garlic and chopped green bell pepper because we like that, but otherwise no changes needed."
"I made this chowder and will make it again. It was very good and one of the few recipes I found using fresh clams, which made it that much better. I used half and half instead of heavy cream because that was what I had on hand, and then I made bread which I used as a bread bowl to serve it in. Very good!"
"I really enjoyed this and it was fairly easy to make. The only thing I did was pull out the clams and cut them into smaller pieces before serving. I will definitely make it again."

I'm looking at a few different mowers to get because I have a 2-in-1 Yard-Man, Model 503, with a Tecumseh LEV 90-120 engine that just cannot get the job done. It's going to die or clump badly no matter what and it takes me a good hour to 1.5 hours to do just over 5,000 sq ft. I have to take baby steps to prevent it from choking/dying. I've been religious with the recommended maintenance, cleaning, and replacing of filters, blades, spark plugs, etc.
So, I am going to upgrade to a 3-in-1 push mower. I don't need self-propelled and actually enjoy the exercise of the push. I don't have a set price range, but I think that over $350 is really going to push the budget. So, that's pretty much ruled out the Lawn-Boy, Snapper, and Toro. I've been reading here and looking around and wonder what you thought of these 3-in-1 mowers: Troy-Bilt TB542 ($239 @ Lowes) -
Cub Cadet CC500 ($229 @ Home Depot) -
Craftsman 38813 ($219 @ Sears) -
My main concern is that the engine is powerful enough to mulch without dying. I will bag occasionally if the lawn gets unruly. I ruled out all Tecumseh engines, but which one of the three here is most powerful? The Honda is rated lower (5.5 HP), but from what I've read B&S lies on their ratings. Is the Honda engine actually more powerful? Or is the Cub Cadet mystery engine the way to go? Any thoughts, or a different recommendation for me? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
All the three in one gives you is a side discharge if you do not want to bag or mulch. It will not improve performance. Make sure the engine is running at the proper speed with a tach. I have been finding engines running 200-300 rpm too slow out of the box. A local shop might check and adjust it for you for a nominal fee. Is your grass thick or wet? How much are you taking off? All the mowers you are looking at should so a decent job under favorable conditions. |

How tall is the grass you are trying to mow? If you're trying to mulch more than an inch of damp grass, you're probably going to have trouble. Mow a narrower swath- |
My 2-in-1 is mulch or side discharge. No bag. :( I probably wouldn't need a new mower if I could bag. The mower I have is a few years old. It may be running too slow, or some part could be going bad. I don't know enough about engines to do anything without taking it in. The grass is thick because I've been good about fertilizing, seeding, aerating, etc. I have the mower set to maximum height of 3.5" and tend to mow every 6 days, sometimes 5. The grass grows fast though, and can be 2" to cut off. I wait for it to get dry, but it still struggles even after 5 days of no rain and hot sun. Thanks for the help. |

Kmfisher: Since you seem to be cutting high enough that the grass can side discharge or spray out from under the mower, here are some suggestions that will work for your current mower or even a new one. Most cheap mowers have cheap shallow decks that can allow quick grass buildup underneath which will effect air flow. Buy bigger wheels. A lot of the cheaper fixed axle mowers come with 6" wheels. If you get 7" or 7.5" wheels, that will give you slightly higher clearance with more room for the grass to blow out from the discharge chute or out from under the mower. Get yourself some generic high lift blades. The high lift blades cause more air flow which should help by giving you more force to throw the grass out. Buy a Snapper PUSH model 21" mower that uses the same deck as their self-propelled units. The shape of their deck creates fantastic air flow and I think all of their blades are high lift. Good luck! Fairyprincess |
The first comment about the rpm speed might be the clue. On the inexpensive mowers it's so easy to bump into a pine tree branch and bend the thin metal tab which controls engine speed. I've seen many knocked down 500 rpm or more just by hitting a branch. |
Is there a place where I can adjust this tab? It's a Tecumseh LEV 90-120 engine. I'm not concerned about blowing it up since I am already planning on getting a new mower. Thanks. |
I'm not familiar with all the models, but if I saw a picture, I could tell you. It's not something you can do by ear though. |
Here's a picture I found on a small engine forum. Mine looks just like it. What do I bend and which direction? Thanks. |
I have an issue...I want a good little push mower that the wife and I can trim the yard with. Our local dealers (only have two) carry Troybuilt (says he has to to compete with our only two stores Wally world and Lowes, and the other carries Husqvarna. The Husky dealer has the 7021p for $260.00 and says it is a real good mower. Everyone seems "commercial crazy" and that is way overkill for my needs and my budget. So...is the Husqvarna 7021p a good mower or not? I can get Honda, John Deere, and Troybuilt at Lowes, also Brute and Yardman at Wally world. Not a great selection, other dealers are at least an hour away. Thanks, |

KOLKATA/BANGALORE: IT giant Wipro Technologies is maintaining silence on its plans to pay the remaining amount to the state government for its 50-acres plot in Rajarhat. Despite state commerce & industries and IT minister Partha Chatterjee's comment a couple of days ago that the IT biggie should first clear its dues, the top officials of the company chose to remain reticent about this issue.
Wipro bought 50 acre for Rs 75 crore from Housing Infrastructure Development Corp (Hidco) in Rajarhat and paid the first tranche of Rs 18.90 crore, which is 25% of the total amount, on January 1, 2010. But the company is still to pay the remaining amount. Wipro has not got the possession of the land yet.
When contacted by TOI, Wipro vice-president and business head Hariprasad Hegde refused to comment on the company's payment plans. The company also chose to stay mum on the expansion in Bengal.
It may be noted that while Wipro has sought for SEZ status for its project, the government is in-principle against special economic zone in the state. "I cannot give them SEZ status," Chatterjee had said.
The minister categorically said the government will only discuss about SEZ once the company clears its dues. The state government recently clarified that it cannot approve SEZ, but it will recommend to the Centre to grant some tax sops to the two priced IT projects - Wipro and Infosys - in the state.
In a meeting with the state ministers a few months ago, Wipro's chairman Azim Premji had said the company plans to invest Rs 700-800 crore for its second campus, which would generate employment for 15,000 people. Its present unit, spread across 14.5 acre, was inaugurated in 2004. During that time, it entailed an investment of Rs 112 crore over a period of time. According to Hidco, similar plots now costs around Rs 12-15 crore per acre. Now, any 50-acre plot in that location will cost around Rs 600-750 crore. It is unlikely that the IT biggies will give up such plots, which it has got at a throw-away price.

Some teams surge toward the playoffs. Look at Denver, Seattle, Washington and Green Bay.
Others struggle to stay in the mix: try the Steelers, Bengals, Giants and Bears.
Some teams surge toward the playoffs. Look at Denver, Seattle, Washington and Green Bay.
Others struggle to stay in the mix: try the Steelers, Bengals, Giants and Bears.
This penultimate weekend of the schedule could propel a few of them and eliminate others.
Chief among the clubs that could go either way: the defending champion New York Giants, who have lost their last three road games by a combined 82-29 to fall to 8-6. Not even coach Tom Coughlin is sure what he has as they head to Baltimore.
"It would be easy for me to say I do, but the reality of it is we haven't been able to play to substantiate what I would say is the personality of this team," said Coughlin, whose club gets a wild card, for sure, by winning out. "So I'm definitely counting on the veterans to go ahead and prove this and do it with consistency.
"Last year we did it over a six-game run and, exactly, we're in that situation again."
Even though their opponent Sunday, the Ravens, already have sewed up a playoff spot, it's a critical game for Baltimore (9-5) to get back on track after three straight defeats — two at home and one a bit down the road in Washington.
"We dug this hole we're in," safety Bernard Pollard said. "We can't blame anybody but ourselves. We don't like losing three straight games. Nobody does. It's at the point right now where we have to get back at it, man. We dug the hole, now we've got to find a way to get out of it."
The action began Saturday night with Atlanta's 31-18 victory at Detroit. The Falcons (13-2) clinched home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs, while the Lions (4-11) lost their seventh straight game.
Also Sunday, it's Cincinnati at Pittsburgh in an AFC wild-card showdown; Chicago at Arizona; San Francisco at Seattle; Washington at Philadelphia; New Orleans at Dallas; Minnesota at Houston; Indianapolis at Kansas City; Cleveland at Denver; Tennessee at Green Bay; New England at Jacksonville; St. Louis at Tampa Bay; Buffalo at Miami; San Diego at New York Jets; and Oakland at Carolina.
Cincinnati (8-6) at Pittsburgh (7-7)
A Bengals win, perhaps a long shot because second-year quarterback Andy Dalton hasn't beaten either the Steelers or Ravens yet, gives Cincinnati a second consecutive postseason berth. That hasn't happened since 1982 and never has occurred without involving a strike-shortened season.
The Bengals also can take the division by sweeping the final two games and having Baltimore lose twice.
Pittsburgh can win the division only if there is a three-way tie, but definitely gets a wild card with two victories.
Chicago (8-6) at Arizona (5-9)
Reeling and injury-ravaged, the Bears have dropped three straight and five of six. There's some discord in the locker room, coach Lovie Smith's job security has become shakier, and they no longer can win the NFC North.
Still, a wild-card spot is available if they win out, and even though the Cardinals routed Detroit last week, it was Arizona's first win in 10 games.
San Francisco (10-3-1) at Seattle (9-5)
The spotlight matchup, even though it won't decide the NFC West. San Francisco can take the division for the second successive season by beating Arizona in its finale even if it falls at what will be a rocking CenturyLink Field. The 49ers earned at least a wild card with their, uh, wild 41-34 victory at New England last weekend.
"Given my first four years, around this time, we probably wouldn't be playing for much, maybe a chance to win a game and maybe get in or waiting on three other teams to lose," star linebacker Patrick Willis said. "It feels good to know that you're playing for something. We have a playoff berth, but we want the division. And we also want to have that first-week bye, and we know we have to win this week first."
The Seahawks are 6-0 at home, have won five of their last six overall, and scored 58 and 50 points the last two weeks. They aren't likely to come close to that against the NFL's stingiest defense; the Niners have allowed 218 points, one fewer than Seattle.
Washington (8-6) at Philadelphia (4-10)
Credit Mike Shanahan and his coaching staff for one of the best jobs down the stretch. It helps when you have not one but two effective rookie quarterbacks: Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins.
The Redskins might beat the weak Eagles with Rex Grossman this week. But even if RG3 is back as expected, look for another key Washington rookie, RB Alfred Morris, to add to his 1,322 yards and nine TDs on the ground.
New Orleans (6-8) at Dallas (8-6)
Dallas is in the same situation as Washington. Win out and the Cowboys take the NFC East.
They've shown plenty of fortitude in winning five of six, rallying to beat the Bengals and Steelers in the last two outings.

Full-bodied, gaining depth and complexity on the finish, where the minerality shines through. Drink now through 2018."

Brisk and crisp in acidity, it shows citrus mineral, green apple and floral notes, touched with smoky oak." (10/10)

Is this the most pointless review of the year? The game is already out; the chavs have predictably lapped it up in their droves, while the Pro Evolution purists sit back tutting in disapproval. So who's wrong? No-one, really. As a so-called 'event product', 2006 FIFA World Cup is unsurpassed, essentially providing a living, breathing Panini sticker album. Such is the atmosphere created, it's almost like being there - sat on your arse in front of ITV, that is, with a spookily realistic commentary from Clive Tyldesley, and the witless mutterings of Andy Townsend.
As you'd expect, all the correct stadia, teams and obligatory licenses are in place, enabling you to literally play out the World Cup - including optional qualifiers - from the safety of your PC, once you've gone through the necessary hassle of setting up a PS2 joypad or equivalent. So is it worth the grief? The review score would suggest so, and this does represent a marked improvement on previous FIFA instalments, with enhanced animation and speed, for instance.
In a clear nod to its closest rival, control-wise you're presented with a slightly woolly version of Pro Evo, although in time some subtleties do become apparent. With slide tackles seemingly outlawed, much of the game is spent harrying the man on the ball, with spellbinding football at a premium. There's an over-reliance on the through ball - and consequently a lot of offsides - but with practice, a variety of goals can be scored, although it would be nice if the midfield chipped in occasionally. As for the best players, they're recognizable by having a star over their heads, although they do allegedly possess individual skills.
While it's never going to match PES on the pitch, the authenticity does genuinely make a difference. If you play this enough, by the time the real thing comes around you should have gleaned enough information to be able to bore for England. And for 20 quid, it's probably better value than sticking a St George's cross on the aerial of your white van.
England's dreaming
- Extremely authentic
- Superb commentary
- Genuinely atmospheric
- Poor tackling
- A console game
- Not as good as PES

Video: Lara Logan's Non-Apology for Her Bogus Benghazi Report
One word: weak.
One word: weak.
A terse announcement at the 60 Minutes website indicates that CBS has realized they can't ignore this one any more: 60 Minutes Reviewing Account of Morgan Jones on Benghazi.
60 Minutes has learned of new information that undercuts the account told to us by Morgan Jones of his actions on the night of the attack on the Benghazi compound.
We are currently looking into this serious matter to determine if he misled us, and if so, we will make a correction.
(h/t: Gus.)
CBS has now pulled down the page for their Benghazi report:

— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) November 8, 2013
Today CBS News is confirming that reporter Sharyl Attkisson's computer was hacked, and the entire right wing blogosphere is jumping to the conclusion that our evil President must be behind it, of course.
That investigation has reached the following conclusions, according to CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair:
"A cyber security firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Sharyl Attkisson's computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in 2012. Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson's accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data.
This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion.
CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access."
The Justice Department has issued a categorical denial that they had anything to do with the breach. But whether or not you're inclined to believe them, it's far more likely that Atkisson's computer was compromised by much more prosaic means, the same way millions of other computers have been hacked — by a virus or a worm that gained access via Atkisson's own insecure practices.
Dan Rather went on Reddit yesterday for one of their "Ask Me Anything" sessions, and inevitably, the subject of the faked George W. Bush National Guard memos came up. Reddit user "RadOwl" asked:
Did G.W. Bush skip out on his National Guard duties, as you reported? You really took a beating for covering that story!
Rather responded:
the short answer is yes but i'll post a short video with more detail soon. EDIT: here is the video
That was followed by a question from "TomSwirly:"
Many people, myself included, wondered if the whole thing was a trap - to discredit you by planting documents that were forged but that contained information that you strongly suspected to be true from other sources.
And here we go again, because Dan Rather continues to insist that the documents he used in his 60 Minutes II story were never proven to be fakes.
Here's his post:
number 1 - the facts of case are not in dispute. Number 2 - no one had ever established that the documents were forged (those who attack them argued that we didn't do enough to demonstrate that they were not forged) The whole documents argument was a camouflage - what was described in the documents was factual. As for the trap argument — could have been, might have been but nobody has ever proven that. What I know, all I know, is we reported a true story. Whatever you think of the documents, facts are facts. Fact #1 - a young George Bush was put into a "champagne unit" of the Air National Guard through the influence of his father to ensure he wouldn't have to go to Vietnam. Fact #2 - once in this "champagne unit" the young George Bush did reasonably well for awhile and then he disappeared - he just took off. No accountability. He was absent without leave for a very long time. Fact #3 - he never completed his obligation the length of service. He got out well before his time was up.
In the video linked above, Rather says:
"Any number of people, powerful people, for their own personal, ideological and partisan political reasons, didn't like the fact that the story got out, and we were the first to put it on television … and they sought to discredit it."
I'm flattered that Dan Rather thinks I'm powerful, but he couldn't be more wrong about my reason for debunking his story. I wasn't the only one who helped bring the phony documents to light, and I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case it was not about politics or ideology — it was about exposing a blatant, obvious fraud being perpetrated on the American public.
Facts is facts, and the simple fact is that the documents were indeed proven to be frauds, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Dan Rather is only embarrassing himself by continuing to deny this, and I'm sorry to see it; he's done some great journalism in his day, and it's sad that his ego won't let him admit this mistake and move on.
I won't go through all the evidence again in this post, but here's our master index of the story as it happened, in chronological order: CBS Killian Document Index.
I still remember the feeling when I first opened the memo dated August 1973 in Adobe Acrobat, and realized instantly that I was looking at a fake, a document created with a modern word processor and not a 1970s typewriter. When I decided to see if MS Word could reproduce it, I expected to have to do some fiddling around with margins and fonts, etc., and was frankly a little shocked when my very first efforts produced an exact match, using the default tab stops and font settings.
Here's the infamous "throbbing memo" — the animated GIF I created by typing a copy of the August 1973 memo into Microsoft Word, using Word's default settings without changing anything, and overlaying the printed copy on the PDF document released by CBS. As you can see, they're not just similar, they're identical:
To salvage some credibility from his debunked story, Rather is still clinging to the "fake but accurate" line too. The problem is that without specific evidence about specific offenses, the story that Bush received preferential treatment in the TANG was only borderline interesting.
I mean, a powerful person's son gets preferential treatment?! Who's ever heard of that happening?
What might have made Rather's story an election-changer was the specific nature of the allegations, based on the National Guard memos. And those were faked. Phonies. Frauds. Bogus. End of story.
This is an awful story; in Tahrir Square on the day Mubarak stepped down, CBS News reporter Lara Logan was separated from her crew, sexually assaulted, and beaten in a sustained attack that only ended when Egyptian soldiers stormed the mob. Here's the CBS News statement.
(CBSNews) On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a 60 MINUTES story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.
In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.
There will be no further comment from CBS News and Correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.
CBS News and the New York Times took a poll of Tea Party Supporters: Who They Are and What They Believe. As with all polls, both pro- and anti-tea people will find things to support their arguments. I haven't made any secret of how I feel about the tea party movement: I think it's a deeply divisive and destructive political movement based on unfocused populist rage ginned up by cynical astroturfers, Fox News, and leaders who are often crazier than the followers, and I see nothing here that will change my mind.
Obama Derangement Syndrome is endemic:
Ninety-two percent of Tea Party supporters believe President Obama's policies are moving the country toward socialism. Fifty-two percent of Americans overall share that belief.
There's a disturbing amount of support for Birtherism (and other conspiracy theories, such as the "sekrit Moslem" theory), which will come as no surprise to anyone who's followed this movement.
Thirty percent of Tea Party supporters believe Mr. Obama was born in another country, despite ample evidence to the contrary. Another 29 percent say they don't know.
If you're looking for coherent ideologies, forget it. Besides Birtherism, the poll highlights several other points at which the tea party crowd seems seriously reality-challenged. They can't define what they mean by "socialism," even though almost all of them are convinced we're heading towards it. They're angrily opposed to the health care reform bill, but they say entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare are worth the cost. They're an anti-tax movement but most of them think their taxes are fair. Two thirds of them think global warming is a hoax perpetrated by mad scientists out to trick the world.
And the two most popular political-media figures with the tea-heads: Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck.
Here are the full crosstabs at the New York Times: New York Times/CBS News Poll: National Survey of Tea Party Supporters.
Looks like Dan Rather's lawsuit against CBS for breach of contract is now an ex-lawsuit: NY Top Court Rejects Dan Rather Appeal in CBS Case.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York State's highest court on Tuesday declined to hear former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather's appeal of a decision dismissing his $70 million lawsuit against CBS Corp.
Charles Cooper of CBS News noticed our post about Barack Obama's smear of the Cambridge Police Department, and mentioned us in this borderline incoherent editorial: When It's Not So Black And White.
(CBS) As soon as President Obama was asked for the details in the case were destined to get pushed into the background.
Huh? Want to try that one again, Charles?
For good measure, Little Green Footballs accused President Obama of playing the race card.
What would you call it when the President of the United States says he doesn't know the facts in a racially charged case, then proceeds to opine about it anyway — and labels the police "stupid," accusing them of unjustly arresting Prof. Gates, even though he admits he doesn't know what really happened?
Even the Associated Press seems to think Obama blew it on this one: Obama takes a stand on race — in a divisive case.
Making his first foray into a divisive racial issue, President Barack Obama sided with Henry Louis Gates Jr. after the black scholar's arrest by a white police officer, a striking departure from Obama's "post-racial" impartiality.
Saying that the white sergeant acted "stupidly" in arresting Gates, Obama inflamed an already volatile topic. Although he backed off that comment slightly Thursday, Obama stood by his assessment that the arrest of the Harvard professor "doesn't make sense."
After years of deftly defusing racial land mines, why did Obama speak out now? Because Gates is a friend and fellow Harvard man? Because racial profiling is an issue close to the president's heart? Or could Obama, contemplating the idea of a white cop questioning a black man in his own home, have lost his legendary cool?
But when CBS News wants to get its smear on, they point the finger at LGF and say we "accused" Obama of playing the race card — when he very clearly did, and pretty much everyone admits it.
Oh well. I'll get over it. After all, we've received a total of 8 visits all day from the link in Cooper's editorial.
That's right. Eight visits from the website of one of America's major TV networks — the network that tried to tilt a presidential election with fraudulent documents.
Must be lonely at Black Rock these days.
Here's Governor Bobby Jindal interviewed by Morley Safer on 60 Minutes:

text: my 13 year old boy hasn't been eating the last couple of days and has been hiding out... We are taking him to the vet tomorrow. I know I shouldn't assume the worst just yet... but I've had cats all my life and know there is only so much that can be done when they start getting this age, and when they stop eating it's a sign things aren't good. He still purrs when petted but hasn't been looking for attention like he used to. *sigh* I'm not really ready to handle losing another kitty just yet :( I had this one since he was a little kitten. hoping it's something small and treatable and he has a few more years left in him.

Gear Review
Pretty good overall
The quality is good. The only drawback is I have a small wrist and even the small size is a bit big for me. It could be better if they offer a XS size for female hands. Other than that, the gear is pretty cool look and it serves the purpose.

I LOVE Millie and I'm eager to see what everyone thinks about this thread. I have worried about Millie getting more popular in the US because it's currently so popular in the UK. I think if you're planning to use Amelia nn Millie that you'll be in the minority. I do know of one young Emilia, and she goes by Emilia. Millicent is another great way to get to Millie!

I love Millie! I had planned to name my daughter Emiliana for year (since I was 14 or so), but I recently took it off the list. The combined popularity of Amelia, Emilia, Emma, etc. just makes it too common for me. It's something to consider, and only you can really decide whether or not the popularity would bother you...

Holiday desserts and special treats
Baking the heart healthy way
- Let's start with a basic truth: fat carries flavor, keeps baked goods moist and tender, and it makes foods taste good. So when you are taking fat out, it's important to know how to put the flavor back in with other lower-fat ingredients.
- Certain recipes are better candidates for fat reduction than others. Soft, moist, or chewy baked goods such as brownies, muffins, quick breads, chewy cookies and cakes adapt well to fat reduction techniques. Baked goods that are meant to have a very flaky texture (such as a pie crust) or a crispy texture are more difficult to modify.
- When you modify your recipes, try eliminating only half the fat first. Replace the fat with fruit purees, such as applesauce, pureed prunes thinned with a little water, canned pumpkin, or mashed ripe bananas. You might want to try a commercially prepared fruit puree for baking, such as Sunsweet Lighter Bake. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 cup of butter - cut back to 1/2 cup of butter and replace the remaining 1/2 cup with a fruit puree. The next time you make the recipe try replacing even more of the fat. Continue reducing the fat until you find the lowest amount that will give you the taste and texture you want.
- Avoid overbaking. Low fat baked goods can become too dry very quickly if they are left in the oven too long. Check the baked good for doneness at the minimum recommended baking time.
- Minimize mixing. Fat tenderizes baked goods by interfering with the formation of gluten, a protein in wheat. Gluten gives breads their "chewiness" and develops when flour is mixed with liquid ingredients. To keep low fat baked goods tender, minimize gluten development by stirring only enough to combine the ingredients. Another option to help enhance the tenderness of low fat baked goods is to substitute a low-gluten flour such as cake flour or whole wheat pastry flour for part or all of the all-purpose flour in recipes.
- Use liquid unsaturated vegetable oils as a substitute for hydrogenated vegetable shortening and margarines whenever possible. Replace 1 cup solid shortening with 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, such as Canola, safflower, corn or olive.
- The addition of certain spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla give the impression of sweetness without the calories.
- Two egg whites or 1/4 cup egg substitute can replace one whole egg.
- Reduce by one-half the amount of high-fat nuts added to baked goods. Toast nuts first in the oven before adding to your recipe. This will intensify their flavor and you will be able to "do more with less." Alternatives to nuts include raisins, dates, and other chopped dried fruit.
- Sweets made from baking chocolate are high in unhealthy saturated fats. Substitute with cocoa powder by combining 3 tablespoons cocoa powder with 1 tablespoon of liquid unsaturated oil (Canola, safflower, corn, etc.) for each square (1 ounce) of baking chocolate.
- Substitute whole grains for at least part of the white flour in recipes - try using whole wheat flour or oat bran for up to one-half the total flour required for the recipe. This works best for muffins, quick breads, brownies, chewy cookies, etc.
- Use lower-fat dairy products when possible. Fat free cream cheese, fat free sour cream, and nonfat plain yogurt all substitute well for their full fat counter-parts. Evaporated skim milk works well in place of light cream and makes a wonderful pumpkin pie.

text: The Vibram Fivefingers have proven to be a game-changer in the world of footwear; forging an entire never-before known category of footwear called the "minimalist sector". Controversial as they defy conventional wisdom which tells us we need cushioning & support in our footwear. Counter-intuitive as the change in technique that wearing Vibram Fivefingers encourages actually reduces the impact forces going through the body, compared to a cushioned shoe. Paradigm-shifting because we've been sold on relying on extrinsic "technologies" by the sports-shoe industry, when the truth is you are all the technology you'll ever need.

Looking to build a loyal, widespread following? Try these four marketing tips to maximize exposure for your mobile business.
- Tell your story. Mobile enterprises fill a specific niche in the small-business category. They are usually less formal than bricks-and-mortar stores and lack the support of a franchise organization. They are also often buoyed by passion, determination, and inspiration — characteristics that many customers can relate to. Perhaps you're a former banker who decided to blaze a new trail with a mobile pet-washing service. Or maybe you're a personal trainer who generated enough "buzz" to flee a corporate gym and build your own business. Whatever the case, tell your story in marketing materials, at events, and in clever pitches to local media.
- Shoot a how-to video. Tablet PCs, laptops, and even some smartphones provide quick access to a powerful marketing medium: online video. Every mobile-business owner has expertise — that's why you're in business! Whether your skill is making a plate of nachos or clipping a dog's nails, customers will want to know how you do it so well. Give them answers with short "how to" segments that are broadcast over your own YouTube channel or on your website. On your marketing materials and signage, note that your video tutorials share a few "trade secrets" to drive traffic to them. Once you build momentum, experiment with new topics to keep your audience engaged.
- Become a fixture in the community. Get involved with causes and events that your target customer supports and attends, whether that means donating products or services, volunteering your time (while wearing a T-shirt with your logo on it), or networking with industry associations that may be interested in doing business with you. If you're given an opportunity to be a guest speaker or sponsor an event with in-kind donation — and it helps you to tap into a new market — go for it!
- Give fans something to like. Social media makes spreading the word about your business easy and free, but irrelevant communications will absolutely kill your efforts. Strive to offer people what they want. Surprise followers every now and again with a giveaway, a contest, or a deep discount (with a limited-time offer) developed exclusively for them. Increase the exposure of your "random acts of kindness" by urging customers to stay in touch for the next great offer. You can do this at your mobile business's current location, on your website, and at the end of your YouTube segments.

Ring of Fire
Ring of Fire
A belt of seismic and volcanic activity roughly surrounding the Pacific Ocean. It includes the Andes Mountains of South America, the coastal regions of western Central America and North America, the Aleutian and Kuril islands, the Kamchatka Peninsula, Japan, the island of Taiwan, eastern Indonesia, the Philippines, New Zealand, and the island arcs of the western Pacific. About three-fourths of all historically recorded active volcanoes have occurred in this belt. See also plate tectonics.
