I think the torch of the Brothers of Destruction is officially gasping for breath and needs to be put out for good ! My suggestion on the perfect way to end them is to have them compete against each other , one last time at WM29 ..... in an Inferno Match !!!
At the end of the match , 'Taker can hit the Tombstone Piledriver and after he wins ( 21 - 0 ) he will do his pose on one knee .

The action takes place in a parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau's village and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home. One wears next to nothing, the other a long white dress; neither speaks the other's language; somehow they must learn to survive. With great flair and lots of action they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, and discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation. "Nation" is suitable for children 10 and over.

Tuesday Shopping Tips – buying TVs
Sometimes, the key to finding a good deal is knowing how to look for it. I've been hunting deals for quite some time, and in this new weekly segment, I'll share with you some of my tips for finding bargains. This week, we tackle TVs.
When shopping for any product, the most important thing to do is figure out what you're going to be using it for so you can buy the model that's right for you. With TVs, the most important factors are probably size and what you plan to watch on it. If you just want to watch TV, you don't need to be paying for a TV that's internet ready or has a plethora of ports.
There are a handful of common TV specs you should consider before making a purchase, and I'll break them down for you here:
- Resolution: This is one of the more obvious specs, but there's more than just SD (standard definition) and HD (high definition). Manufacturers can label a TV "HD" if it has a resolution of 720p, which means it has a 1280×720 resolution. While this is better than "SD", the best HD is 1080p (1920×1080 resolution), often called "Full HD". Be sure you buy the one you want. And be careful not to confuse 1080i with 1080p. Without getting technical, 1080i is generally worse quality despite having the same resolution.
- Display Type: The most common type of TV by far is an LCD TV, the same type of display on your average computer. Getting an LCD that is LED backlit generally results in higher image quality and a thinner frame. Plasma TVs take quality and slimness even further, but are by far the most expensive.
- Refresh Rate: The refresh rate is expressed in Hertz, or "Hz," and represents the number of times per second your TV redraws the image. Refresh rates of 60Hz are common, but more expensive sets can range from 120Hz – 600Hz or even more.
- Contrast Ratio: The contrast ratio is the ratio of the luminous intensity of the brightest color to the darkest. Higher is always better, but there is some controversy over a lack of standard measurement test that can lead to some inflated numbers. Static CR measures the ratio at any particular instant, where dynamic CR measures the ratio it can achieve over a span of time and is usually higher.
- Response Time: Response time is the measure of how long it takes for a pixel to go from black to white and back to black again. It's measured in mere milliseconds, and while some TVs feature 2ms response times or lower, the difference can be hard to tell with the naked eye once you get under 10ms.
- Other Features: Other features are available on high end TVs, such as the ability to display 3D or connect to the internet or your external hard drive. Some TVs also offer a collection of different ports, where others will be more scarce. If you want to do more than just watch regular TV, these features are potentially must-haves.
It's important to note that with TVs, sometimes a very small perceivable difference can be quite expensive. Going from a TV that's 2″ thick to one that's 1″ thick can add hundreds to an otherwise similar TV, and a barely perceptible difference in response time, refresh rate or contrast ratio can do the same. But to some, those small differences may be worth the cost.
Some great deals on TVs this week are the Sharp AQUOS LC-40D68UT 40-inch 1080p LCD HDTV, the Panasonic VIERA TC-P42C2 42-inch 720p Plasma HDTV, the LG 60PK250 60″ 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV, the Sony BRAVIA KDL-32EX308 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, the Panasonic VIERA TC-P42U2 42″ 600Hz 1080p Plasma HDTV (pictured), the 3D ready Sony Bravia KDL-46HX800 46″ 1080p 240Hz 3D LED HDTV and the combo package of LG 42LE5400 42″ 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV w/ FREE LG BD590 WiFi Ready Blu-ray & HDD Combo.
On LogicBUY, it's easy to find a large selection of desktops. Just hover your mouse over the "Electronics" category and click on "TV & Video" (see right) to see hundreds of TV deals. Be sure to look at the top right of the grid too for more sort options, including by price. The last component to any shopping trip is knowing your budget.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Investigators recovered a gun from the car a woman had been driving just before she was shot and killed by Cedar Rapids police following an early-morning police chase Tuesday.
Desirae A. Daniel, 27, of Cedar Rapids, pulled the gun as two officers approached the car, prompting officers to open fire, authorities said. She died a short time later at St. Luke's Hospital.
The chase began around 2:30 a.m. when police tried to stop a driver that had committed a traffic violation near the corner of F Avenue and 19th Street. Police said the chase went west and then back east on Johnson Avenue NW before the driver turned south and stopped in the 200 block of 27th Street NW.
Witnesses said two officers were approaching the white sedan and shouting orders at the female driver when three gunshots rang out. According to police, Daniel displayed a gun as officers were approaching the car from the rear, and both officers fired their weapons.
Authorities have not released the names of the involved officers, who are now both on paid administrative leave from the department.
Wayne Snyder, 32, who lives across the street, said he woke up to the sound of screeching tires. About 10 seconds later, he heard three gunshots in rapid succession.
"I heard it like it was right next to me," Snyder said.
An eyewitness to the shooting told The Gazette the officers had ordered the driver to show her hands and said, "You need to comply. You need to comply."
"They were trying to talk to her," said the man, who declined to be identified. "She wouldn't do what they wanted her to do."
According to the witness, an officer was positioned at the side window behind the driver's seat when the driver leaned toward the passenger's seat, as if she was reaching for something. He said he did not see the woman display a gun.
"She was still until I saw her lean," the man said. "It was kind of like she waited for them to walk up on the car before she made a move."
Immediately after the gunfire, the officers used their nightsticks to break out side windows and pulled the woman out, the witness said. An ambulance arrived within seconds, because medics had been just a few blocks away.
"They started to work on her immediately," the man said.
Police took the eyewitness to the police station where he told investigators what he saw. He said the two officers gave the driver "ample time to do what she needed to do."
"I witnessed the whole thing," the man said. "The police did the right thing."
A second eyewitness to the shooting said he saw an officer approaching the driver's side of the car with his or her weapon pointed at the car. He said the officer was close to the car when the gunfire began.
The witness, who also declined to be identified, said he dropped down from his ground-floor kitchen window.
"It scared the hell out of me," the man said.
Investigators had an area of 27th Street NW cordoned off by yellow police tape as the sun came up Tuesday morning. The car Daniel had been driving was parked along the west curb of the dead-end street, with the driver's side door still open. Shards of glass could be seen on the ground and hanging from the car door.
State police were handling the investigation, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings.
It remained unclear late Tuesday why Daniel refused to pull over. She has been convicted of driving while barred four times in the past five years, including after an arrest in March. The car she was driving was not registered to her, police said.
Daniel's aunt, Tracy Daniel, told The Gazette she had not spoken to Desirae recently. In a brief interview, she indicated the family was in shock.
Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman spoke to both officers Tuesday morning. He said the officers are doing "as well as can be expected."
"It is very serious, but these officers are professionals," Jerman said. "It's a family here, and their shift mates look out for them, emotionally and physically."
Jerman said his primary concern going forward is the welfare of the officers. He said a strong support system exists to help officers through difficult circumstances.
"Any resource that is needed is made available to them," Jerman said.
It was the first time in at least four years that a Cedar Rapids police officer had discharged a weapon while making an arrest, Jerman said. The last time someone died due to gunfire from Cedar Rapids police was April 30, 1997, when police shot and killed 16-year-old Ryan Washburn after he robbed a bank at 1100 Old Marion Rd. NE. Washburn was wearing a ski mask and was armed with a highly detailed replica pistol when he was shot by Cedar Rapids police officer Troy Nogelmeier.

a Prayer to KORN
I wanted to thank the band for their music!!!
I´m from Germany and found my deep attachment with the band by a coincidence. I watched them live during a festival. A friend said I needed to see them. That experience, seeing you guys on stage, changed my life for the better.
I´m a male and was sexually abused by my mother during childhood. And I never came near to face that fact. I always believed it was just a bad dream. And it was. But in a metaphorical way. Finally, in the age of 25, I allowd myself to see. Bevor that, I was totally blind to it, though the memorys of the abuse were always with me. But I wasn´t able to really SEE them.
I killed my soul with alcohol, I tried to bury that little child I once was. I wrote a horror novel, but couldn´t face the fact, that the only horror in my life was my mother and my ever-NOT-present father.
The band always kept the dark feeling I wanted to kill in their music. Especially the songs about Jonathan´s child abuse always got my teers to pour down my face.
YOU GUYS KEPT MY FEELINGS ALIVE IN YOUR MUSIC AND FINALLY I ALLOW MYSELF TO FEEL THIS FEELINGS. That hurts like hell, but I never felt more clear about who I am.
Thank you!!!!

Springfield's new rental ordinance on hold for voteBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | July 02,2013SPRINGFIELD There will be a special town meeting next month for a vote on the new rental registry ordinance.
Select Board member David Yesman turned in a petition last week that called for a repeal of the new ordinance, and to have a vote on the ordinance.
Yesman said Monday that the Springfield Select Board would meet July 15 to discuss when to have the special vote, but he said under the town charter the vote must be held within 60 days of the submission of the successful petition.
Yesman said that a group of Springfield landlords helped him gather signatures calling for a vote on the ordinance, He said the group collected 405 signatures, while only 334 signatures, representing 5 percent of the registered voters in Springfield, were needed.
But Yesman said there was widespread ignorance about the new ordinance, and he said he and others spent on average 15 minutes with each voter to explain the ordinance.
He said the petition drive represented 102 man-hours of citizen effort. Others helping to collect signatures were Tom Bishop, Dan Gray, Walter Pluss, Don Bishop, Dave Thurber, Bill Hanley, John Jasinski, and Bill Morlock, who is executive director of the Springfield Housing Authority. All but Don Bishop are landlords in town, Yesman said. The housing authority is the largest landlord in town.
Yesman said the group, which had spoken out against the ordinance before it was adopted, only had 44 days to collect the necessary signatures.
The new rental registry was designed to get the town a list of all the rental properties in Springfield and also help push landlords to improve their apartments. Under the ordinance, apartments would have to register within five years, and face a total of three different inspections, including an inspection by state fire/safety officials, once registered.
But Yesman and others had argued that the ordinance was unnecessary and would put too much of a financial burden on Springfield landlords, because inspections invariably lead to required changes.
Springfield Town Manager Robert Forguites said that until the issue had been resolved, the new ordinance would be on hold. The Select Board approved the new ordinance on a 3-2 vote, with Yesman and Select Board member Stephanie Gibson opposed. Gibson wanted another public hearing on the ordinance.
Forguites said the Select Board is holding a special meeting Tuesday to set the 2013 tax rate, but that the issue would not be taken up then.
Forguites expected the board would ultimately choose a date in the middle of August for the special meeting.

Those paying close attention to their monthly issues of Corvette Fever may recognize J.C. Cherry's name. This Dallas, Texas, resident is the owner of the super gorgeous '68 Baldwin Motion Vette that we featured just a few months ago. The commercial paint contractor has a hankerin' for ridiculously rare and unique Corvettes, and his personal collection of these cars verifies that addiction. Even at 62 years old, this speed freak never shies away from the gnarliest and fiercest of power outputs available for America's original sportscar. We hailed his '68 shark as being easily one of the meanest incarnations of a Corvette available to the general public in the late '60s, and the track records set by that Motion-modified Corvette confirms it.
Yet, times have changed. Multi-port fuel-injection systems have replaced carburetors; titanium and aluminum have replaced cast forged steel; and in the case of this supremely tailored Callaway C12, specially molded carbon fiber, Kevlar, and S-glass have taken the place of factory fiberglass.
Reeves Callaway shook the Corvette world like the 1906 San Francisco quake with the introduction of the "Sledgehammer." The Sledgehammer was the once factory stock '88 Corvette that was transformed into a twin-turbo supercar that rocketed racing driver John Lingenfelter across Callaway's Connecticut headquarters' test track at a mind blowing 255 mph. Sleek, low, and slender, the rebodied C4 Corvette revolutionized the potential expected for the American machine. When Corvette dumped the L98 in 1991, the LT1 and the LT4 quad-cammed ZR1 became the new darlings for Callaway to modify. In lieu of the double power-adders, Callaway opted to squeeze, coax, and nudge as much power out of the LT1 and Lotus-designed Mercury Marine-built wonder plants. The result was a series of Callaway "flagship" performance cars that could only be named "Supernatural." The Supernatural series featured a line of naturally aspirated 383ci refined powerhouses that propelled not only Corvettes, but also Camaros, Firebirds, and Impalas from 1992 through 1996. In 1997, the new LS1 powerplant was the next engine to get the Callaway Supernatural moniker.
Reeves Callaway, a true car enthusiast, directed the bearing of his company by the whim of his personal tastes. it was his personal drive that birthed the performance-bred relationship between he and Corvette that is so ingrained in the Corvette-world psyche today. Reeves grew weary of the untamed, rough behavioral characteristics of most supercars, including those of the Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren F1s category. He claimed by his 54th birthday that, "I'm done with supercars," stating that most, though striking and impressive, lose their appeal shortly thereafter, citing that most are unruly, uncomfortable, temperamental, and require too much constant attention from the driver. That is why the introduction of the C5 was so paramount to the Callaway team. The redesigned chassis, engine, and transmission placement, and rigidity allowed for a wide breadth of modifications that would not only allow for drastic width and girth expansion providing substantially greater suspension upgrades, but also far superior ride characteristics and drivability that would befriend even the least professional driver.
This particular '99 C5 was purchased by its original owner Joe Montana (not the famed quarterback), who had the full intention of taking it to the extreme limits that Callaway Cars could deliver. Among the production list of available combinations, color schemes, and interior accommodations, Joe, a close friend to Reeves, opted for the Corsa Red C12 to be built as a hardtop with black and red interior trim, making it the single most unique C12 ever made. Marking off the C12 modification, the '99 was selected for all of the performance upgrades from the Callaway team available for the C12R LeMans race car. The Corvette was skinned of its fiberglass body like a prized kill and stripped of all its suspension components. The underpinnings were replaced with long, stamped-steel units from Callaway's own design team, which swelled the Corvette's wheelbase for greater handling prowess. The factory-built transverse leaf springs were retained, but now worked in conjunction with Callaway's sport-tuned, coilover gas shocks. With the wheel offset altered, the suspension geometry was "performance optimized," as the wishbones and rear independent driveshafts were replaced with Callaway's longer pieces. In fact, the only original components that were left, aside from most of the interior trim, were the framerails, chassis, and basic engine and transmission placements.
Callaway's Old Lyme, Connecticut, facility replaced the original body panels with components fabricated by Callaway Competition's Leingarten, Germany, development engineers. These parts were hewn from bermodern materials, such as bulletproof-vest-grade Kevlar, intricately formed carbon fiber, and a special grade of fiberglass called S-glass. Only the factory windshield, side and rear glass were retained from the original Corvette, though portions of the rear greenhouse are covered with aerodynamic carbon-fiber C-pillar wraps, offering a superior cohesive driver-surround.

Some have suggested the remedy for what ails the cattle business is a dose of rancher owned co-operatives. But that too has been tried. The fourth largest beef packer in the country is a co-op. We´ll let you decide whether it´s a cure or a curse.
Farmland Industries is the largest farmer-owned co-operative in North America. A member of the Fortune 500, the co-op´s 1998 sales were $8.8 billion, derived from 50 states and 90 countries around the world. You can add in another $4 billion in sales earned from Farmland´s "strategic alliances." The highly diversified company is owned by 600,000 farmers and ranchers in the U.S., Mexico and Canada and has major business interests in crop production, livestock feeds, petroleum, grain processing, pork and beef packing.
The Farmland co-operative System encompasses 1,500 local co-operatives, acquired since 1929 when Farmland originally set up shop as the Union Oil Company. Some would have you believe that "strategic alliances" are new in the world of business but Farmland had its beginnings as a strategic alliance when six farmer-owned petroleum co-ops joined together. In 1935 the conglomeration of co-ops became known as the Consumer Cooperative Association with 239 co-ops under its ever expanding umbrella. By 1950 the company had become a powerful force in agriculture selling herbicides, insecticides and chemicals to its farmer-members.
Today Farmland has an asset base estimated at $3 billion which includes fertilizer plants around the world, the largest petroleum refinery in the Midwest, grain elevators, feed mills, beef and pork plants and a transportation fleet that includes more than 4,400 rail cars, 1,060 trucks, interest in 100 dry cargo barges and several ocean going vessels. Farmland markets and trades agricultural products around the world through a partnership with more than 60 other firms. In 1966 Farmland Industries acquired it´s present name, became North America´s largest farmer co-op, and proclaimed they were..."Proud To Be Farmer Owned ."
One of the goals of Farmland is to shorten the distance from the ranch to the consumer´s plate. With their purchase of National, they became the fourth largest beef packer, handling 2 million head annually at plants in Dodge City and Liberal, Kansas. Farmland was already working with local and regional co-ops to produce branded pork products that sell in stores such as Food 4 Less, Price Choppers, and through food service companies like Sysco. With the purchase of National, Farmland hoped to duplicate their success in pork with consumer friendly beef products.
Farmland National Beef Packing, as it is now known, packs 4 million pounds of top quality beef per day into 50,000 boxes for sale to over 600 customers. Farmland National Beef exports Prime and Top Choice beef to 38 countries around the world including Japan, who buys 1.5 million pounds of their boxed beef monthly.
The backbone of Farmland´s cattle program is Farmland Supreme Beef Alliance. Established in 1995, it is a collaborative effort of three agribusiness entities: Farmland Industries, Farmland National Beef and Agri Beef. The latter is a family held business begun in 1968 that is a highly diversified agribusiness with emphasis on cattle feeding. Highly respected in cattle circles, Agri Beef operates in 18 western states with ranch and feedlot operations, feed supplements, a veterinary supply distribution company, mineral exploration, livestock trading and exporting. With their expertise in cattle feeding it was only natural that Agri Beef became the managing partner of Supreme Cattle Feeders, which is where all the cattle for Farmland´s branded beef program are currently being fed.
Farmland merchandises the beef produced by Farmland Supreme Beef Alliance (FSBA) through their own Farmland Black Angus Beef label and through Certified Angus Beef (CAB). FSBA claims to supply the only producer-owned brand in the meat case, although other regional firms might justifiably dispute that claim.
To qualify for the Farmland program every animal must be at least 50% Black Angus: All English crossbreds are allowed. The only continental breeds accepted are Charolais, Simmental and Gelbvieh. Brahmans and dairy cattle are excluded. Farmland claims they, "Ensure quality by raising our Angus cattle in the Midwest where we produce a consistently marbled selection of Choice Black Angus Beef."
Like most strategic alliances currently being pitched to cattlemen, FSBA claims that their program rewards ranchers for producing a superior end product. Cattle enrolled in FSBA are sold under a value-based marketing formula to Farmland National Beef. Their pricing structure guarantees "the western Kansas practical top cash price the week of sale, less $1, with a carcass base point of Select, Yield Grade 3 with incentives for higher quality carcasses that grade Prime, CAB and Choice. To date FSBA producers have captured premiums as high as $53 per head."
Those taking part in the FSBA program don´t have to retain ownership, they can also sell direct to Farmland. The feeder cattle price for contracted producers is based on the Cattle Fax price for the week prior to shipping. Cattle must be of uniform weight in load lots. Premiums are paid on a four tier preconditioning program with higher premiums paid to ranchers who retain at least 50% ownership. It costs $2.50 for every head enrolled in the program and if detailed carcass information is desired an additional $1.50 per head is assessed. Like similar programs, Farmland has a list of preferred purebred suppliers that includes some of the best Angus breeders in the country such as Gardiner, Sitz, N-Bar and others.
Farmland goes out of its way to portray itself as the farmer´s friend. They made headlines in December when they announced an unprecedented move to establish the first ever floor price for the market hogs it purchased. As the sixth largest pork processing operation in the country, with four packing plants and 9 processing facilities, Farmland expects to process 8 million hogs this year, which is about 15% more than last year. In the midst of the worst meltdown in the hog industry in forty years, Farmland established a $15 per hundredweight floor for market hogs that met its specifications. Only producers who had previously sold hogs to Farmland were eligible. "We are deeply concerned about the farmers who supply us with market hogs," said Gary Evans COO of Farmland Meats Group. "Establishing a floor price is an essential step to help our farmer-owners through one of the toughest economic periods in the history of the pork industry. This floor price is proof positive that Farmland is... "Proud To Be Farmer Owned ".
In making the announcement Evans said, "The concept of establishing a floor price was developed after the co-operative´s leaders studied several ideas put forth during their annual meeting. Farmland typically buys hogs at competitive prices, markets pork products under the Farmland brand and then pays out its profits to livestock producers and local co-ops in the form of patronage refunds. "Because we are the nation´s only producer-owned pork processor, we felt a moral obligation to attempt to provide assistance to our producers," said Evans. "We need a stable supply of high quality hogs over the long haul If this helps producers weather the economic storm, then we´re doing our job"
"We recognize that a floor price is not the total solution, said Henry Fehrenbacher, an Illinois pork producer and Farmland member. "Nevertheless, for hundreds of producers it could mean the difference between staying or leaving."
Some in the meat trade weren´t overly impressed by Farmland´s gesture. Mike Callicrate, a Kansas cattle feeder and industry observer, scoffs at a $15 offer for hogs considering the high retail price of Farmland´s hams and bacons. Callicrate thinks that with the current industry structure even a co-op like Farmland can´t help ranchers much. "The co-op becomes the greedy corporation," he contends. "Consider Farmland´s recent announcement of investing in a export grain elevator in Argentina. I wonder where they are going to ship the grain from Argentina or what U.S. farmer market they are planning to displace?" asks Callicrate. For sure, Farmland makes no bones about exploring growth opportunities around the globe.
Even if Farmland National Beef would like to be known as the rancher´s friend, they can´t give away the farm and expect to survive. IBP, ConAgra, Cargill and Farmland control about 87% of the nation´s beef slaughter. As the world´s biggest packer IBP is known to provide price leadership. With one look at the numbers you can see why. IBP has a daily beef kill capacity of 38,000 head in 13 plants. ConAgra can process 23,600 a day in 8 plants; Excel, (a division of Cargill) can kill 21,800 cattle per day in 5 plants and Farmland has a daily kill capacity of 8,700 in just two plants. Even though Farmland National is number four they are a long way back of the pack and therefore must abide by the informal guidelines established by IBP.
According to Callicrate, "Court documents show IBP´s captive supplies, the cattle available to the packer without bidding or negotiating price, to be as high as 122% in recent years. This, in addition to the packer´s willingness to co-operate with each other rather than compete (IBP trades cattle with other packers) has virtually eliminated the market that producers depend on for a fair price."
"Court reports also indicate that now Farmland National Beef, like the other packers, is virtually absent for extended periods from the cash market," says Callicrate. "Before National Beef was purchased by Farmland, National was considered a premium quality packer and the last of the cash market traders. IBP, Cargill and ConAgra all had large captive supply inventories to draw from thereby disadvantaging National in the market. Independent feeders who have long depended on National Beef to buy their cattle are now being left out in the cold unable to sell their cattle. These are the same cattle, the cash market cattle, that set the base price for nearly all the packer´s captive supply deals."
"It was common knowledge in the industry that Farmland National was on the brink, a victim of IBP´s death march, "contends Callicrate, "when much needed producer capital was raised in a deal with U.S. Premium Beef (USPB). "The deal appears to be a win-win for Farmland and a lose-lose for producers, considering the new money came with the much needed price lowering captive supplies."
"Falling for a sales pitch sounding like the old days of the penny stock brokers," says Callicrate, "many desperate farmers and ranchers scratched, borrowed and leveraged their last precious belongings to buy into what many felt was their only hope of salvation... U.S. Premium Beef." But when USPB then signed on to Farmland National´s program it allowed Farmland to capture captive supplies and then act just like the big boys. According to Callicrate, "USPB now has the potential of providing half of Farmland National Beef´s cattle needs from outside the competitive market." And that is how a co-op became what Callicrate calls, "Just another market crushing, packer empowering captive supply deal."
Mike Callicrate contends that in such arrangements "cattle feeders have come up short after paying significant premiums for higher quality cattle, only to receive the same and at times less than what the lowest quality cattle were bringing in the cash market. Additionally, these feeders say they are forced to feed genetically poorer performing cattle (higher grading English cattle versus faster growing crossbred cattle) and must feed their cattle longer, incurring higher feeding costs in order to collect razor thin premiums while at the same time trying to dodge the deep discounts of the price determining grid."
Callicrate contends that Farmland is, "Not a friend of the farmer." The problem is that no matter how well intentioned Farmland may be, in today´s cattle industry they are forced to play the captive supply game. Either that or disappear, and then what good could they possibly do? At least Farmland is rebating to their members a patronage refund, some eighty million at this point in their fiscal year. That´s not much on sales of 9 billion but it´s more than you´ll get from IBP.
In quoting a cattle feeder Callicrate sums up our dilemma as we experiment with co-ops, strategic alliances and other means of surviving current economic conditions. "The last few years it´s been like a musical chairs game. Everyone is rushing to the empty chair, not realizing that the chairs are in the gas chamber."

Car lovers in the mood to buy (or sell!) a late-model Corvette must add the 37th Bloomington Gold Corvette Show to their calendars for this summer. The event takes place June 25-28, 2009 at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Ill.
"As the longest running continuous Corvette show since 1973, Bloomington Gold offers hundreds of new and used C5 and C6 Corvettes for sale by both Chevrolet dealers and private owners, and they're all conveniently available in the same place for enthusiasts to browse," said David Burroughs, CEO of Bloomington Gold.
In addition to Corvettes, you can also grab a few items for your car and garage by stopping by the hundreds of vendors selling products for the C5/C6 marketing - everything from clothing to add-on accessories - as well as a new vendor area selling non-Corvette merchandise.
Sounds intriguing, right? We had Burroughs answer a few more questions we thought might be on your mind so you can learn all there is to know about America's Original Corvette Show.
In addition to finding the Corvette of my dreams, what other activities are at Bloomington Gold for C5/C6 owners? Bloomington Gold offers a numerous social and driving events for attendees to participate in, including the GoldField Display where owners can park among thousands of other Corvettes in the most beautiful setting on the Pheasant Run Golf Course.
If it's driving you're into, join Corvette enthusiasts in the annual Bloomington Gold GoldTour - a 35-mile road trip through rural Kane County, Ill., that takes place this year on Saturday, June 27, starting at 5 p.m. Featuring more than 600 Corvettes ranging from first-generation 1953s to the latest C6 masterpieces, the GoldTour takes Corvette owners on a loop from the Kane County Judicial Center through the rural roads and countryside. We started the GoldTour in 1984, attracting more than 500 Corvettes to travel on the Illinois highways and back roads. The event set the 1994 Guinness World Record with a total of 2,223 Corvettes on a single road tour.
The driving event is free to any Corvette owner who attends the Bloomington Gold Corvette Show. There are also plenty of after-hours parties in St. Charles and surrounding towns to keep the party going long after the show ends.
What details can you share about this year's Special Collection?
Each year for 25 years, Bloomington Gold has created a themed collection of significant Corvettes to display for show-goers. This year's event, Special Collection XXV: The Grand Finale, is a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of the rarest Corvettes ever assembled and will likely never be done again in the lifetimes of today's Corvette owners.
Consider this: Since production started, about 1.5 million Corvettes have been built. Over the past 25 Special Collections, Bloomington Gold has displayed more than 500 of the most historically significant ones. This year, we will feature 50 of the best cars from the past 25 years, representing the most important cars in Corvette history from 1953 through 2010.
Special Collection XXV is free to all who attend Bloomington Gold and will be open Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
What certification is available for late-model Corvettes?
You can have your C5/C6 Gold Certified to add to its credibility and value. Gold Certification means that a Corvette has been preserved in or restored to within 95% of the way it appeared factory new. The goal is to attain historic perfection, not cosmetic, in order to preserve their unique histories and character for generations to come.

Larry Todd in Billings, Montana knows what he's doing when it comes to making cheese. But I had to laugh when he told me about a little accident he had with his wax:
I spent 5 hrs that night and 3 the next day trying my best to clean it up. Wax is unbelievably hard to clean up, I found out. A good thing my wife was out of town at the time. Now my wife leaves the house when I make cheese. I wonder why.
I first became acquainted with Larry when he wrote to us with a question about pressing cheese. (His question and Jim Wallace's may be found at the end of this article.) It seemed clear to me that he knew what he was doing, so I asked him to share his cheesemaking experiences with us:
I retired from the Bureau of Reclamation, which is a Federal water (irrigation and municipal) provider and power generator in the west. It is the agency that built Hoover Dam and many other projects, but only in the 17 western states. It is an agency within the Department of Interior. Because it only works in the west, usually, folks in the east have never heard of it. It is a great agency to work for and I was fortunate to have a great career retiring as Deputy Commissioner in 2008.
|First Gouda cheese made from Ricki's kit.
It was delicious. Harder than store-bought. We liked it better.
A friend of mine from the west coast sent me Ricki's cheese kit for both soft and hard cheeses last summer (Thanks Kim). She did not know that I was interested in cheese, but for some reason she thought I might like it. At the time, she was making soft cheeses like Ricotta.
I became interested in cheeses, when through my job and my relocations I was in places that had a great variety of good cheese. My wife and I would try all types of different cheeses at the markets and then bring them home for eating with wine, bread, crackers, fruit or use in cooking. We became fond of a large variety of cheeses including sheep and goat.
I waited for winter to start, because in Montana you want to enjoy the summer. During that time, I read up on cheeses and recipes and when I realized I could make Parmesan and Gouda, I became really interested in making the hard cheeses first. That's where I started.
Over time I have added more molds and equipment. I am having a great time. So far, I have 1.5lbs Parmesan, 4 (0.75lbs) Baby Gouda, 3.5 lb Gouda wheel and 3.5 lb Colby in the cheese cave (a wine cooler). Some success was 4 previous Baby Gouda (although the one pressed with more weight was better), a delicious 3.5 lb Gouda wheel, and a first time Feta that is great on salad. This week, the Crème Fraiche turned into Mascarpone was unbelievably gourmet good on fresh berries.
|Second try at Gouda with baby molds-on their way to the cave.
What are you using for milk?
I get a lot of great and helpful information from your WEB site. I wish my location was closer so I could attend some workshops, but I think I will have to learn from trial and error. Lots of error of course.
|First press (modified twice since).
My design was a little lopsided.
I made my own press. I researched on the internet and had my own ideas (naïve as they were) about what would work. Went to Lowes and bought material and put it together. The press was a direct weight press. I just added weight to the stem, which pressed the cheese. It actually worked pretty well. Although, if doing it again some things would change.
Recently, I realized that when using larger than a 2 lb. mold as the book states, the weight needed to be increased sometimes up to 3 times what the recipe said. I used a Tomme mold for Gouda and Colby. But increasing the amount of weight was too much for my press design.
This weekend, I modified it by putting a lever system on it where I can put about 4 lbs of weight to the mold with 1 lb of weight. This increase will result in the increased pounds needed for larger molds. This system is illustrated in Ricki's book. In the garage the modification looks pretty good, but I'll see how good it is when I try it this week.
I age the cheese in a wine cooler that I bought-one that had temperature controls. I set it at 54F and it keeps a temperature of 54-55 constantly. The humidity is very dry here and the cooler does not have any automatic humidity controls, so I have been watching with a humidistat. I think the wet cheese drying keeps the humidity around 80%. The cooler seems to work great for me. I just put it in a storage room away from home activity. The cheese seems to be happy.
Any tips for others starting out?
Because of (the wax incident), my Parmesan did not get a good seal from the wax and mold began to grow under it. I cut it off the other day and brined the cheese. We'll see in a couple of months whether it actually turns out. I have gone to developing natural rinds instead of waxing. Although it takes some care, at least weekly, by wiping them down with brine and putting olive oil on them, I think they look better and in the end for me, it is less work. That doesn't mean I won't do waxing in the future, but if I do I will be more careful.
The other learning is when increasing recipes. Doubling or tripling the recipe is very doable by proportionately increasing the ingredients. But, if this means using larger molds, then you have to add more weight. I realize that a lot of home cheese makers make small batches. But, if one makes a larger batch and uses a larger mold then more weight is important.

Another Hobby
Larry is also an accomplished nature photographer. You can see some of his work (mostly birds) on www.lltphoto.com.
Q. (From Larry) I have been seeing in the www.cheeseforum.org that the amount of pressure for pressing cheese should be figured on a PSI basis and not straight pounds. This is because the batches vary from small to large and the area of the molds vary. So I may not be putting enough weight onto the cheese - mainly for the final press, I think. For instance, if I press gouda in my large Tome mold at the recipe weights the PSI is about 1. The some on the forums (commercial folks) say they press at 3.5 to 5. The Parma in the Rikki's recipe book is more like 20 lbs. where the Parma recipe on the WEB site is 85-125 lbs.
I am wondering if there is or if you have a table of PSI for different cheeses. I realize the duration of aging (short period vs long period) requires different pressing weights, but thought there might be some general rules to guide a person. Or maybe I should increase the weight in the recipe proportionately to the gallons of milk used? Do you have any information on this subject or PSI?
A. (From Jim Wallace) Larry, Ricki wrote her book to address the issues of the home cheese maker. "PSI" is a foreign concept to these folks so Ricki decided to standardize and simplify the entire process. She focuses on the small mold we sell and designed these small packs of culture to work for the home cheese maker in a manageable 2 gallon batch. Therefore it is simply a matter of suggesting a weight mass for each cheese in the book.
Now if you are working with larger molds then it is simply a matter of comparing relative surface areas and adjusting weights proportionately.
Surface area = (radius of surface squared x 3.1416[pi])
our small mold (M3) used for Ricki's book is 4.5 inch diameter and surface area is about 16 sq in
our larger mold (M2) is 7.74 inch diameter with surface are of about 47 sq in.
therefore switching from the small mold to larger mold the weight needs to be increased by 47/16 or 2.9 times so a 20 lb weight for the larger mold would need to be 58 lbs.
HOWEVER: these are just guidelines and the real pressing, whether you use weight or lbs per sq in, depends on the final moisture and aging potential of your cheese.
NOTE: be very careful when reading pressure as "PSI" because quite often it is not the surface "PSI" but that read on a gauge in a hydraulic system where the diameter of the pressure plate and that of the piston are of different diameters but that is another story.

The word 'inch' actually refers to the area of the hole in 'square inches'. State regulations sometimes forbid the use of the unit without its being associated with a definition in the same document.

Old English west "in or toward the west," from Proto-Germanic *wes-t- (cf. Old Norse vestr, Old Frisian, Middle Dutch, Dutch west, Old High German -west, only in compounds, German west), from PIE *wes- (source of Greek hesperos, Latin vesper "evening, west"), perhaps an enlarged form of root *we- "to go down" (cf. Sanskrit avah "downward"), and thus literally "direction in which the sun sets." Cf. also High German dialectal abend "west," literally "evening."
French ouest, Spanish oeste are from English. West used in geopolitical sense from World War I (Britain, France, Italy, as opposed to Germany and Austria-Hungary); as contrast to Communist Russia (later to the Soviet bloc) it is first recorded in 1918. West Indies is recorded from 1550s.

How to spend on charity this Christmas
Welcome to the Good Christmas on Pocket-lint. The first and most obvious way to feel good about yourself this year is to make sure that you're giving to those that really need, and, as much as we all really need that latest smartphone, what we're talking about today is charity.
Giving to charity of course doesn't necessarily mean that you get nothing back in return save the warm, fuzzy, glow inside. As it happens there are plenty of gifts that you can give to your friends and loved ones that also happen to do their fair share of good for the needy too. So, here a few ways on the technology side of things that will help set things off on the right foot this year.
There are three basic choices with Christmas cards and it's the timing of the last post that might dictate which path it is you choose. You either a) send hard copies, b) send e-cards or c) don't send any at all. To be honest, we often go for c) under the pretence that it's greener with the reality that we're just too lazy. However, for those that wish to keep their friends - and we salute you - there are some really good options online for giving money to a good cause when choosing your cards.
One thing to note is that there are charity Christmas cards and there are charity Christmas cards. The difference is that some give all of the proceeds to charity and some can give as little as 10 per cent. The best place to head to find out the difference is over at Card Aid who guarantee that they give 100 per cent of their profits to the people that deserve it. You can design you own card, use one of over 80 pages of the site's own - which are very good incidentally - or do something in between by customising one of the stock options. Best of all, just about all of them are available as e-cards if that's the way you want to roll.
If you can't find what you like at Card Aid, then the next option down is Cards For Charity where the site guarantees a minimum 75 percent share of the donation going to a good cause. The products are a touch cheaper and you'll also find advent calendars as well. Don't be put off by the budget Father Christmas animation.
Before we get into the world of pure donations, probably the best way to keep everyone happy is to make sure that the money from the presents you give to your loved ones actually goes on to a good cause.
One obvious way of achieving that is by buying from a charity shop. Sadly, the tragedy of some of these establishments is that up to 73p of every pound you spend at them can often end up paying for the overheads. The way to help get around that is, of course, charity shopping online and the likes of Oxfam and the British Heart Foundation offer very realistic ideas of things that you might actually want to buy with stocking fillers like wind up torches to radios, stadium tours and even a Segway experience. The latter of the two outlets has an eBay shop with some very interesting bits and pieces including a nice collection of old SLR cameras.
Beyond the more obvious, you can head over to Amazon and search for products sold on its site where some of the proceeds are donated. A search under the term "charity products" is one way of doing it but there's also a list of the top charity DVDs which include Cathertine Tate and the Secret Policeman's Ball. Likewise, you can do something similar with eBay by searching under terms "charity shops" and "charity auctions" where you can look for any suitable gifts.
Probably our favourite option of the lot though, is the download site Fairshare. Fairshare is like any ordinary music download website with ordinary music download prices and a catalogue of 13.5 million tracks to enjoy. The difference is that half the profits from any purchase you make goes to a charity of your choice. Naturally, gifting is no problem either with the site offering a selection of cards to send your vouchers in as well.
Charity gift ideas
If you can't find what you're looking for at a charity or charitable shop, then you could always give the gift of charity itself. This isn't going to work for everyone. Your COD-crazed teenager might not be too chuffed to open a photo of a donkey you sponsored on his behalf when he was hoping for a limited edition Xbox 360 and a set of tickets for the 2012 COD XP.
All the same, there's some more interesting options to be found at Charity Gifts where you can do things like fit out a football factory to provide some fun and games for those in Africa or build fishing nets along with the adoptation of pretty much any animal or piece of land for farming that you can imagine. Head over to the Good Gifts and you can even start cleaning and sweeping old land mine fields - not personally, of course.
Donating direct
Of course, if no one else is going to appreciate your charitable gift ideas, then you could always just donate some money to a good cause anyway. One way to do this, and one that's a good idea if you're sick of people asking you what you want for Christmas, is to pick a charity you like and ask all of your wouldbe present givers to donate whatever they were willing to spend on your gift to that charity instead.
If you don't have any particular charity favourites, then head over to Just Giving where you can browse hundreds of good causes by type and nature until you find one that speaks to you. On the tech front, Technology for the Disabled, Access Ability Communications Technology where children are encouraged in IT and SpecialEffect, which helps children with disabilities enjoy gaming, all stood out for us.
The gift of technology
Money isn't the only currency that charities will accept. Unlike many high street charity shops, Barnados gladly take whatever electricals you're willing to give and have even partnered with the Royal Mail so that you can do it without even having to walk any further than the post box to do so. They'll take phones, MP3 players and printer cartridges among some of the easier to fit through the letter box. Each One Counts also has a similar scheme in place.
Gift Aid
Most of all, this Christmas and in general, if you're a UK tax payer and you're offered the chance to opt into Gift Aid when you come to check out at an online purchase, make sure that you do. It costs you absolutely nothing but it means that the charity in question can claim back the tax paid on the product, which is already included in the price, and receive it as a donation effectively from you and the Government.
