Good nutrition for dog
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2831360 on Dec 22, 2009
I got these to add to my dog's diet - she has alot of allergies and I found a recipe in a book that included this ingredient. Not that easy to find so was glad to find it here and at a reasonable price. Its a good source of B vits for her and I mix it in her food. Seems like it would be easy to mix into many recipes. I do believe this recipe is helping her skin problems. I'm glad it comes in a big box! I will order it again.

Being Vegan, you tend to use alot of Nutritional yeast... therefore, KAL is great because it is tasty, cheap on IHerb, and big enough to last a month or so!
Tasty Cheese Alternative
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by rabbit on Aug 22, 2012
Nutritional yeast has a nutty, cheesy flavor which is exquisite in many different recipes. I am vegan, so I use it mainly as a cheese flavor replacement. I use it to make a variety of vegan cheeses, alfredo sauce, cream of broccoli soup, au gratin potatoes, scalloped potatoes, cheesy mashed potatoes, and many other recipes. Nutritional yeast is also a great way to get a wide variety of essential vitamins through your food. After eating it, my urine is always bright yellow and I feel great. As of this writing, this brand offers the best deal for the money and tastes just as good, if not better than any other brand I've tried.

Paul Merson
Football Expert & Columnist @PaulMerse
Final flings
Paul Merson makes his calls - and says there are TWO cup finals taking place on Sunday.
Last Updated: 24/02/12 1:15pm
As ever, you can follow all the Premier League action this weekend on Sky Sports - and you'll see the Carling Cup Final too.
We asked Soccer Saturday expert Paul Merson to look at the fixtures and give us his verdict on where the games will be won and lost.
He's taking a close look at the live games but this season he's also having his say on all of the other matches, too.
Ford Super Sunday: Arsenal v Tottenham
1pm, Sun, Sky Sports HD1
This game is Arsenal's cup final for this season.
In years gone by this hasn't been the biggest game for them - Manchester United and Chelsea were bigger - but all of a sudden this is the defining game of the year.
If they lose this game then I don't know where Arsenal are going. Three or four years ago they were a million miles ahead of Tottenham, but now Spurs can win this game and show that they're the ones way out in front.
Even if Arsenal win I very much doubt they can catch Tottenham in the table. They'd need to win five games on the trot to do that and I don't think this team is good enough to do that.
They're not a very good team; it's as simple as that. You can go around the houses with ways to be polite about it, but that's the issue. There were players in the team against AC Milan that shouldn't be playing for Arsenal. It's not fair to single individuals out, but there are guys that shouldn't be at the club, let alone playing in big European ties.
When David Dein was there, they were bringing in players like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira, Marc Overmars and Emmanuel Petit. Those were class footballers in the top 20 in the world at the time. Now they're bringing in players that Fulham wouldn't take if they came up for sale tomorrow. That's the way it's gone.
You have to look at the manager. He hasn't won anything for seven years, so questions have to be asked. You've got to forget what he's done before - seven years ago I was still a footballer, but I don't think anybody would pick me now!
Arsene Wenger has done a great job for Arsenal, but time moves on and you've got to look at what's happening now. And what's happening right now is that they're falling way behind their arch rivals from up the road.
Sunday's game is bigger for Arsenal than it is for Tottenham and I can't remember the last time I said that. When I was at Arsenal I remember the whole first team being rested against Spurs because we had a cup final the next weekend. All of a sudden this <>is the cup final.
Tottenham will want to go there and rub their noses in it and Arsenal need to start well. If they fall behind in the first 15-20 minutes I think I'll turn the telly over because it could get really bad.
I don't think a draw will be much good to Arsene Wenger, but that's what I think will happen because I don't see them keeping Tottenham to nil.
Carling Cup Final: Cardiff v Liverpool
3.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports HD1
Do Cardiff have a chance in this game? Only if Liverpool don't arrive with their mind on the job.
If Liverpool do what Arsenal did last year and think they just need to turn up then we could see drama, but if they match Cardiff for attitude and effort then there's absolutely zilcho chance of an upset.
I've been there myself as a player. You play against a team from a lower division and you think that if you just go out on the pitch and play your normal game then you will win. Well if you're not ahead after 20 minutes then the other team get belief and you can't just turn it on like a tap.
People say that Kenny Dalglish won't let his players be complacent, but you'd have said that about Arsene Wenger before the game with Birmingham in last year's final. It's not about the manager, it's about the mental preparation of the players before they go out onto the pitch.
As we've seen against Man United and Man City recently, Liverpool are a big-game team - but those matches look after themselves. You then look at their home games and pick out loads of examples of matches they've drawn when you'd expect them to win - just as you'd expect them to win on Sunday. That's the only worry, but if these players are mentally right then they could win by any score.
If I was the manager I would take the game to Cardiff. I'd play Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll up front with Craig Bellamy on the wing. Cardiff will try to keep it tight so Liverpool might as well play as many attacking players as they can.
Peter Whittingham has a great delivery and Cardiff will always have a chance from set plays, but which of their players would get in the Liverpool team? None. If Liverpool have their heads right then they should win easily.
PAUL PREDICTS: 4-0 to Liverpool
Ford Football Special: Man City v Blackburn
5pm, Sat, Sky Sports HD2
I would expect Manchester City to win this game comfortably and, for the first time in a while, that will put severe pressure on Manchester United.
In recent weeks it's been the other way round because United have played first but now City can put the pressure on before United play Norwich on Sunday.
The January window might be long gone, but City will feel like they've got some new signings in their team. The two Toures are back from Africa and Yaya is a massive player for them.
Plus I still think Tevez has a part to play. If he had been playing for them for the last four months they would have probably won the league by now. Roberto Mancini's not silly and he will know that.
In their last game against Aston Villa they dominated the game but didn't look like scoring a lorryload of goals. Shay Given certainly wasn't diving around left, right and centre, so Tevez could come back and give them a different dimension.
This game is obviously too soon for him, but even though Blackburn will go there and put 10 men behind the ball I can't see City having too many problems and I can't see anything but a home win.
From Blackburn's point of view it's so tight at the bottom, that goal difference might come into it sooner or later. They might have to focus on not losing too heavily.
The rest of the weekend's games
Chelsea v Bolton
I don't know what's happening with Chelsea. A few years ago I've have said 4-0 to the home team, but I don't think Bolton will be panicking about this one. If they can keep it quiet for 20 minutes it could get very interesting. I expect Chelsea to win, but they're playing so badly that it wouldn't surprise me if they drew.
Newcastle v Wolves
The Wolves situation is extraordinary. It's been two weeks since Mick McCarthy got sacked and they're going into this game with the assistant manager in charge. What is going on? I would be disgusted if I was a fan. I don't know if they're trying to cut corners, but two weeks is a long time to sort it out. Newcastle's strikers are a real handful and with them being at home I think this will be another game gone for Wolves.
QPR v Fulham
This is a big game for QPR because they need to win their home games. They were atrocious in the first half against Blackburn, but after the break they were outstanding and should have got a result (but it's easy to play football when you're 3-0 down and the shackles are off). I think this will be an open game and Fulham will have a go.
West Brom v Sunderland
West Brom's home record is bordering on atrocious, but they're fine away from home and smashed Wolves last time out. Sunderland have been absolutely phenomenal under Martin O'Neill - they just keep going and going - and Fraizer Campbell will be on cloud nine after his England call-up. I think this will be a draw.
Wigan v Aston Villa
Wigan will highlight this as a chance to beat a team that is bang out of form. Villa are on a slippery slope with glass slippers on and if they lose this game and the game with Blackburn next week then they are in a right mess. I think Alex McLeish would take a draw, but if they win this game I think it'll mean another season in the Premier League. I think Villa's pace and Darren Bent's goalscoring might make the difference.
Norwich v Man Utd
To be honest, this shouldn't be a hard game for Man United because Norwich haven't got a great record at home to the big boys this year. Don't get me wrong, Norwich have been outstanding this year, but Sir Alex Ferguson won't go there shaking in his boots. I think they'll win fairly easily.
Stoke v Swansea
Stoke are out of Europe now and they need to get their form back together in the league. They've been very patchy, particularly away from home, and they must address that. Stoke will get the ball forward quickly, Swansea will pass it around and it will all depend on who sticks to their gameplan for longer. Stoke will squeeze Swansea all over the place and I think their height and strength will see them win

Bugaboo offers iPhone holder for modern parents
Pushchair manufacturer Bugaboo, which has recently become the latest brand to throw its hat into the charity ring with PRODUCT (RED), has launched an iPhone Holder to clip onto the back of its Bee and Cameleon buggies.
The (BUGABOO) RED iPhone Holder has a silicon casing which can be adjusted to sit both vertically and horizontally (indeed, through 360 degrees). It also comes with a removable clip and costs £14.95, part of which will go towards the Global Fund, helping to fund AIDS programmes in Africa.
In fact, Bugaboo is actually the first (RED) partner to actually donate 1 per cent of its total revenue to the Global Fund, rather than just on a product by product basis. Let's hope more follow suit.

Made of durably waterproof/breathable and windproof 2-layer nylon GORE-TEX® fabric, the Piolet Jacket offers year-round protection and versatility.
The construction of 2-Layer GORE-TEX® Products is unique. A GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to an outer material, then combined with a free-flowing lining. The benefit: a soft, lightweight garment that keeps you dry and lets you move freely.
The GORE-TEX® membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside. But these same pores are large enough for moisture vapor to pass through, so your body's perspiration is able to escape and you won't feel clammy or uncomfortable inside your jacket.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone (January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947), commonly nicknamed Scarface, was an Italian American gangster who led a crime syndicate dedicated to the smuggling and bootlegging of liquor and other illegal activities during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s and 1930s.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, to Southwestern Italian emigrants Gabriele and Teresina Capone, Capone began his career in Brooklyn before moving to Chicago and becoming the boss of the criminal organization known as the Chicago Outfit (although his business card reportedly described him as a used furniture dealer).
By the end of the 1920s, Capone had gained the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation following his being placed on the Chicago Crime Commission's "public enemies" list. Although never successfully convicted of racketeering charges, Capone's criminal career ended in 1931, when he was indicted and convicted by the federal government for income tax evasion.
Alphonse Gabriel Capone was born In Brooklyn, New York to Gabriele (December 12, 1864 – November 14, 1920) and his wife Teresinha Bobone (December 28, 1867 – November 29, 1952), on January 17, 1899. Gabriele was a barber from Castellammare di Stabia, a town about 15 miles (24 km) south of Naples, Italy. Teresina was a seamstress and the daughter of Angelo Raiola from Angri, a town in the province of Salerno in southwestern Italy.
Gabriele and Teresinha had nine children: Vincenzo Capone (1892 – October 1, 1952), Raffaele Capone (January 12, 1894 – November 22, 1974), Salvatore Capone (January 1895 – April 1 , 1924) Alphonse Carlota diaz (January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947), Erminio Capone (born 1901, date of death unknown), Umberto Capone (1906 – June 1980), Matthew Capone (1908 – January 31, 1967), Rose Capone (born and died 1910) and Mafalda Gonzalez (later Mrs. John J. Maritote, January 28, 1912 – March 25, 1988).
The Capone family immigrated to the United States in 1893 and settled at 95 Navy Street, in the Navy Yard section of downtown Brooklyn, near the Barber Shop that employed Gabriele at 29 Park Avenue. When Al was 14, the Capone family moved to 21 Garfield Place in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
Capone left school in the fifth-grade at age 14, after being expelled from Public School 133. He then worked at odd jobs around Brooklyn, including in a candy store and a bowling alley. During this time, Capone was influenced by gangster Johnny Torrio, whom he came to regard as a mentor figure.
After his initial stint with small-time gangs, including The Junior Forty Thieves, Capone joined the Five Points Juniors, and then the notorious Five Points Gang. He was mentored by and employed as a bouncer in a Coney Island dance hall and saloon called the Harvard Inn by racketeer Frankie Yale. It was in this field that Capone received the scars that gave him the nickname "Scarface"; he inadvertently insulted a woman while working the door at a Brooklyn night club, provoking a fight with her brother Frank Gallucio. Capone's face was slashed three times on the left side. Capone apologized to Gallucio at Yale's request and would hire his attacker as a bodyguard in later life. When photographed, Capone hid the scarred left side of his face and would misrepresent his injuries as war wounds. According to the 2002 magazine from Life called Mobsters and Gangsters: from Al Capone to Tony Soprano, Capone was called "Snorky" by his closest friends.
On December 30, 1918, Capone married Mae Josephine Coughlin, an Irish woman. Earlier that month she had given birth to their son, Albert Francis ("Sonny") Capone.
The date of Capone's departure from New York, with his family, to Chicago is usually set around the year of 1921. Capone came at the invitation of Torrio, who was seeking business opportunities in bootlegging following the onset of prohibition. Torrio had acquired the crime empire of James "Big Jim" Colosimo after the latter refused to enter this new area of business and was subsequently murdered (presumably by Frankie Yale, although legal proceedings against him had to be dropped due to a lack of evidence.) Capone was also a suspect for two murders at the time, and was seeking a better job to provide for his new family.
Following the death of his father in 1920, the entire Capone family moved to Chicago at Al Capone's invitation, and he purchased a new house at 7244 South Prairie Avenue on the city's South Side. The house served as Capone's first headquarters.
The 1924 town council elections in Cicero became known as one of the most crooked elections in the Chicago area's long history, with voters threatened at polling stations by thugs. Capone's mayoral candidate won by a huge margin but only weeks later announced that he would run Capone out of town. Capone met with his puppet-mayor and personally knocked him down the town hall steps, a powerful assertion of gangster power and a major victory for the Torrio-Capone alliance.
For Capone, this event was marred by the death of his brother Frank at the hands of the police. As was the custom amongst gangsters, Capone signaled his mourning by attending the funeral unshaven, and he cried openly at the gathering. He ordered the closure of all the speakeasies in Cicero for a day as a mark of respect.
Much of Capone's family put down roots in Cicero as well. In 1930, Capone's sister Mafalda's marriage to John J. Maritote took place at St. Mary of Czestochowa, a massive Neogothic edifice towering over Cicero Avenue in the so-called Polish Cathedral style.
Demand was met by a transportation network that moved smuggled liquor from the rum-runners of the East Coast and The Purple Gang in Detroit and local production in the form of Midwestern moonshine operations and illegal breweries. With the funds generated by his bootlegging operation, Capone's grip on the political and law-enforcement establishments in Chicago grew stronger.
Through this organized corruption, which included the bribing of Mayor of Chicago William "Big Bill" Hale Thompson, Capone's gang operated largely free from legal intrusion, operating casinos and speakeasies throughout Chicago. Wealth also permitted Capone to indulge in a luxurious lifestyle of custom suits, cigars, gourmet food and drink (his preferred liquor was Templeton Rye from Iowa), jewelry, and female companionship. He garnered media attention, to which his favorite responses were "I am just a businessman, giving the people what they want" and "All I do is satisfy a public demand." Capone became a celebrity.
However, this unprecedented level of criminal success drew the attention of Capone's rivals, particularly his bitter rivalries with North Side gangsters such as Dion O'Banion, Bugs Moran and lieutenant Earl "Hymie" Weiss. Such opposition led to attempts to assassinate Capone throughout the 1920s. He was shot in a restaurant, and he had his car riddled with bullets more than once.
These attacks prompted Capone to fit his Cadillac with armor plating, bullet-proof glass, run-flat tires, and a police siren. Most of the would-be assassins were incompetent and Capone was never seriously wounded, but every attempt on his life left him increasingly shaken and slightly afraid of Moran, who was almost certainly involved in most of the attacks.
Members of the gang that had wounded Torrio shot into the headquarters of Capone's gang, which was disguised as a doctor's office and an antique dealer's shop. Nobody was hurt in the raid (Capone's bodyguard threw him to the ground at the first sound of gunfire), although the headquarters was riddled with bullet holes. This event forced him to call for a truce, one that would be short-lived.
When the headquarters moved to the Lexington Hotel, Capone had it filled with his armed bodyguards around the clock. For his trips away from Chicago, Capone was reputed to have had several other retreats and hideouts located in Brookfield, Wisconsin; Saint Paul, Minnesota; Olean, New York; French Lick, as well as Terre Haute, Indiana; Dubuque, Iowa; Hot Springs, Arkansas; Johnson City, Tennessee; and Lansing, Michigan. Tunnels found under the city of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, are said to have been another hideout of Capone's. As a further precaution, Capone and his entourage would often suddenly show up at a one of Chicago's train depots and buy up an entire Pullman sleeper car on night trains to places like Cleveland, Omaha, Kansas City and Little Rock/Hot Springs in Arkansas, where they would spend a week in a luxury hotel suite under assumed names with the apparent knowledge and connivance of local authorities. In 1928, Capone bought a 14-room retreat on Palm Island, Florida close to Miami Beach.
Capone considered Moran to be a homicidal lunatic, and lived in fear of the Moran gang. The fusillade launched against his headquarters, where at least ten gunmen fired for over ten minutes, must have been particularly unnerving. Even in his last days as he lay ravaged by syphilis, Capone raved on about Communists, foreigners, and George Moran, whom he was convinced was still plotting to kill him from his Ohio prison cell.
Capone (through his henchman Murray the Hump) orchestrated the most notorious gangland killing of the century, the 1929 St. Valentine's Day Massacre in the Lincoln Park neighborhood on Chicago's North Side. Although details of the killing of the seven victims in a garage at 2122 North Clark Street (then the SMC Cartage Co.) are still in dispute and no one was ever indicted for the crime, their deaths are generally linked to Capone and his henchmen, especially Murray the Hump (Llewellyn Morris Humphreys (1899-1965)) and Jack "Machine Gun" McGurn. McGurn is thought to have led the operation, using gunmen disguised as police and toting shotguns and Thompson submachine guns.
The massacre was Capone's effort to dispose of organized crime rival "Bugs" Moran. The North Side gang had become increasingly bold in hijacking the Outfit's booze trucks and encroaching on the South Side and Capone was ready to put it to an end.
After all efforts to secure a truce had failed, Capone, his accountant/chief extortionist Jake "Greasy Thumb" Gusik, and Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti agreed that they'd have to risk the political heat that would come from wiping out Moran and his gang or face eventual elimination at the hands of the North Siders. They assigned the task to McGurn and told him to use "outside torpedoes" to avoid implication. McGurn secured the services of triggermen from New York, Tennessee, Detroit, and downstate Illinois.
They rented an apartment across from the Clark Street trucking garage that served as a Moran headquarters to monitor their targets' habits and movements and placed a call to the garage offering to sell a truckload of whiskey stolen by freelancing Sicilian immigrants from a Capone shipment. Such freelancers often hijacked such shipments from both gangs and sold them to the highest bidders, so no suspicions were aroused in the Moran camp. The stolen booze (high-grade Canadian whiskey) was brought to the garage, and the deal was done.
As hoped, the entire Moran gang was there. Unknown to the North Siders, these "freelancers" were being paid by McGurn to set them up for the kill. On February 13, the freelancers called again and set up another transaction for the next day. The freelancers were expected to drive the truck right into the garage, where McGurn hoped the entire Moran gang would again be assembled. At the set time, a stolen Chicago police car pulled up and uniformed "officers" entered the building, along with others who had been standing nearby.
Apparently, the gang members thought that they had been scammed and that they had been set up for a raid. They sheepishly lined up to cooperate in the belief that their lawyers would fix things downtown, as they had many times before. Moran arrived 10 minutes late, spotting what he thought to be a police car outside, decided to keep walking and did not enter the garage.
It is believed that a local optometrist was also one of the victims, an innocent bystander and not part of Moran's gang. The optometrist, who supplemented his income through bootlegging and liked to hang out at the garage with the gang members, had been mistaken that morning for Moran because he was of similar height and wore the same color gray hat and coat favored by the North Side chieftain. After the supposed Moran entered, the lookouts triggered the "raid." At the last moment one of the gang-members realized that Chicago police officers never carried machineguns, but it was too late.
Forensic evidence shows that the seven victims were almost cut in two by machine gun fire and that many of the victims had their faces shot off by shotgun blasts for good measure. The photos would cause public sympathy to fall out of Capone's favor, and federal law enforcement to focus more closely on investigating Capone's activities.
However, the local police turned the other way in regards to the events. They made no real efforts to solve the crime or delve further into the killings. People in the neighborhood saw the police go in and heard what they thought were a series of backfires, which were common at a garage. The "police" later led some men out to the car and left.
The grisly scene was discovered after the mechanic's dog began to howl so loudly that neighbors went in to see what was wrong. Frank Gusenberg, a member of the Moran gang, survived long enough to be questioned in a hospital before he died. However, when asked "Who shot you?" Frank replied, "Nobody shot me," denying any justice on the murderers.
Although Moran escaped, all his chief deputies were killed and his illegal liquor operation in Chicago rapidly declined. When asked by reporters if he believed Capone was behind the killings, Moran scornfully replied "Only Capone kills like that!"
An indignant Capone countered, "Oh yeah! Listen ... they don't call that guy 'Bugs' for nothing!" in a reference to Moran's reputation for savagery. With his remaining resources, Moran marked Capone and his key underlings for extermination.
Capone arranged to have himself jailed in Philadelphia for a year to avoid numerous "murder for hire" outfits that were hunting for him. McGurn was gunned down at a bowling alley on the anniversary of the garage slaughter, and two others involved in the killing disappeared.
Moran eventually ran out of resources and fled to Ohio, allowing Capone to return to Chicago, where he quickly found himself in the legal quagmire that effectively removed him from power. It is generally thought that Capone precipitated his own decline with the garage killings. Graphic photos of bodies lying in pools of blood were plastered all over the papers.
A secret convocation of Chicago civic leaders initiated an all-out effort to drive Capone from power. Nevertheless, had Capone and his gang done nothing, the North Side gang likely would have succeeded in killing their rivals and taking over the entire city. Moran and his associates were driven by a visceral hatred of the "South Side Scum," whom they considered to be sexual deviants and degenerates who dealt in prostitution and drug peddling and allowed debased jazz musicians to play in their bars.
Moran had also repeatedly vowed to avenge the deaths of his close friends and mentors O'Banion and Weiss (the latter being gunned down on the steps of Holy Name Cathedral on State St). It is said that Nitti became enraged with McGurn (whom he considered to be a rival) over Moran's escape and the unfavorable publicity that ensued.
While Chicago police showed no interest in substantially investigating the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the federal administration of President Herbert Hoover was embarrassed by Capone's open disregard of the law, especially with his bootlegging in defiance of Prohibition laws. Hoover ordered a closer look at Capone's activities.
Capone always did his business through front men, he had no accounting records in his own name, and even his mansion was in his wife's name. However, accountant Al Alcini started linking Capone to his earnings. This brought the federal government's attention to the fact that Capone was not paying substantial income tax. The federal income tax laws allowed the federal government to pursue Capone for tax evasion, their best chance of convicting him.
Pursuing Capone were Treasury agent Eliot Ness and his hand-picked team of incorruptible U.S. Prohibition agents, "The Untouchables," and agent Frank Wilson of the Treasury Department's Bureau of Internal Revenue (now called the Internal Revenue Service). During a routine warehouse raid, they discovered in a desk drawer a crudely coded set of accounts. Ness then concentrated on pursuing Capone for his failure to pay tax on his substantial illegal income.
Eliot Ness played a minor role in the arrest and conviction of Capone, but many years later represented himself as the main hero in his book. It is more likely government accountants sorted out the paper trail. Some question if Ness ever met Capone.
Capone was tried in a federal court in 1931. The Alcinis tried to help Capone, but he pleaded guilty to the charges on advice of his legal counsel, hoping for a plea bargain. But after the judge refused his lawyer's offers and the jury was replaced on the day of the trial to frustrate Capone's associates' efforts to bribe or intimidate the original panel, Capone was found guilty on five of 22 counts of tax evasion for the years 1925, 1926, and 1927, and willful failure to file tax returns for 1928 and 1929.
Capone's legal team offered to pay all outstanding tax and interest and told their client to expect a severe fine. The judge sentenced him to eleven years in a federal prison and one year in the county jail, as well as an earlier six-month contempt of court sentence. Capone ultimately served only six and a half years because of good behavior in prison. He also had to pay fines and court costs totaling $80,000.
In March 2008, the Internal Revenue Service released IRS investigation of Al Capone relating to the investigation of Al Capone that had previously been considered confidential.
Part of the reason Capone was taken to task in this way was his status as a celebrity. On the advice of his publicist, he stopped hiding from the media by the mid-1920s and began to make public appearances. When Charles Lindbergh performed his famous transatlantic flight in 1927, Capone was among the first to push forward and shake his hand upon Lindbergh's arrival in Chicago.
Capone often tried to whitewash his image and he liked to be seen as a community leader. For example, he started a program to fight rickets by providing a daily milk ration to Chicago school children, which was continued for decades after his death. During the Great Depression, Capone opened up many soup kitchens for the poor and homeless.
Capone retained a personal style. He sent hundreds of dollars worth of flowers to funerals of important opponents. On occasion, Capone and some of his men attended rivals' funerals. In one instance, Capone's men killed a rival gang leader and Capone sent $5,000 worth of flowers to the funeral. In a fight between Capone's men and another gang, an innocent woman was shot, but not fatally, and required hospital treatment. Capone paid her hospital bills.
Capone could often be seen sitting in box seats with his son and bodyguards at Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs games, giving autographs to baseball players. He, his brother Ralph, and Gusik regularly went to the race tracks in Chicago, as well as during their security forays into Arkansas and Nebraska. He was also an opera fan and liked circuses and rodeos, where he would buy huge blocks of tickets and distribute them among low-income neighborhoods.
Capone and Nitti were both fans of New Orleans-style jazz music and were instrumental in the rise of such talents as Louis Armstrong and others, who regularly played at Capone speakeasies on the South Side. Bob Hope related performing, when he was an up and comer, at one of these clubs, where he was terrified of the prospects of bombing in front of such a crowd.
Capone gained a great deal of admiration from many of the poor in Chicago for his flagrant disregard of the Prohibition law that they despised. He was viewed for a time as a lovable outlaw, partially because of his extravagant generosity to strangers and often lending a hand to struggling Italian-Americans. His nightclub, the Cotton Club, became a hot spot for new acts, such as Charlie Parker and Bing Crosby. He was often cheered in the street.
Such efforts, however, did not change his reputation for violence and murder within the city. Capone did not help his own PR problems by being linked to an incident where two men were bludgeoned to death with baseball bats after they were thought to be disloyal to the Outfit– accounts of this incident put the bat in Capone's hands. The brutal murders of the St. Valentine's Day massacre also didn't help, as they made people view Capone as a killer and socially unacceptable figure.
Capone headed a list of "public enemies" corrupting the city compiled by the chairman of the Chicago Crime Commission, Frank J. Loesch, in April 1930. The list was published by newspapers nationwide, and Capone became known as "Public Enemy Nº. 1."
During his early months at Alcatraz, Capone made an enemy by showing his disregard for the prison social order when he cut in line while prisoners were waiting for a haircut. James C. Lucas, a Texas bank robber serving 30 years, reportedly confronted the former syndicate leader and told him to get back at the end of the line. When Capone asked if he knew who he was, Lucas reportedly grabbed a pair of the barber's scissors and, holding them to Capone's neck, answered "Yeah, I know who you are, greaseball. And if you don't get back to the end of that fucking line, I'm gonna know who you were.
Capone earned the contempt of many of the inmates in Alcatraz when he refused to take part in a prisoners' strike after a sick inmate, accused of malingering, was denied medical treatment and died. Continuing his work in the prison laundry, Capone was continually harassed by other prisoners and often called a "scab" or "rat." He was eventually allowed to remain in his cell until the strike was resolved.
Shortly after returning to work, an unidentified inmate threw a heavy lead sash at Capone's head, but he suffered only a deep cut on the arm after being pushed out of the way by convicted bank robber Roy Gardner.
Reassigned to mopping up the prison bathhouse, Capone was nicknamed the "wop with the mop" by inmates. He was later stabbed in the back by Lucas, who was sentenced to solitary confinement. Capone was hospitalized for a week. He suffered further harassment and unsuccessful attempts on his life throughout his prison sentence, including spiking his coffee with lye and attacking him as he was walking towards the dentist's office. He remained under protection from several inmates (possibly from payoffs by the Chicago Outfit).
Though he adjusted relatively well to his new environment, his health declined as his syphilis (contracted as a youth) progressed, and he spent the last year of his sentence in the prison hospital, confused and disoriented. Capone completed his term in Alcatraz on January 6, 1939, and was transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution at Terminal Island in California, to serve his one-year misdemeanor sentence. He was released on November 16, 1939, spent a short time in a hospital, then returned to his home in Palm Island, Florida.
Capone died after the cardiac arrest and was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, in Chicago's far South Side between the graves of his father, Gabriele, and brother, Frank. However, in March 1950, the remains of all three family members were moved to Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois, west of Chicago.
In the anime series Soul Eater Al Capone is depicted as a greedy man who is searching for Witch Angela's powers. He and his gang were killed by Mifune after attempting to enter Angela's castle. Al Capone was Black Star's target which then angered Black Star.

The 1993 Finest Refractor set officially ushered in the high-priced insert generation. With packs starting at the $7 range and eventually reaching as much as $75, the refractor inserts became the ultimate pull for collectors. The fact that they dropped only one per box, with a total production run of 250 of each card only further fueled the search for these elusive inserts. Even with the amazing technological advances that the hobby has seen since 1993, the refractor is still as much of a staple today as it was in 1993.

Comments about Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass Guitar:
I'll admit...I almost didn't but this bass because I dislike "signature" models. I was even tempted to paint over the signature (but I let it go). Bottom line: This is a great P bass with outstanding quality all around. The tiger strip maple on the neck is an especially nice touch. I was going for a Steve Harris sound and strung it with flat wounds and low action. IT'S THE SOUND! I have a 62 P so I don't need to have this one emulate that sound but I believe you'd be able to get close to it. Well done Squier!

Comments about Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass Guitar:
I purchased this bass as a "beater" to use for road gigs about a year ago, and have been pleasantly suprised by its quality. Although its fit and finish are nowhere near MIA and CIJ Fenders, it plays quite nicely for the money after a setup and with a set of my preferred Rotosound Swing Bass strings, and although the pickup is nothing special compared to a Fralin or Duncan, it gets the job done.
My only complaints are the "cheap" feeling tuners (even by Squier standards), a somewhat sticky gloss finish on the neck, and the fact that the frets needed to be filed and rounded to keep them from protruding from the edge of the neck. However, none of these are major issues given the low price and all are fixable.
Bottom line: If you're looking for a solid P-Bass and don't want to spend too much I don't see how you could go wrong with this bass. Its construction is rock solid, and it's well worthy of receiving upgraded hardware and a higher-spec pickup when your budget allows.

Comments about Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass Guitar:
I've only been playing bass for about a year so I don't know a whole lot. But one thing I do know is that the Matt Freeman Bass is a fantastic work of art! My first bass was a Squier P bass Special, and it wasn't that great. So i was skeptical about getting another squier p bass. However,after I first plugged in the freeman bass I knew that I made the right choice. It has an amazing tone that reminds me of a bass Paul Simonon(The Clash) played on the London Calling record. If you're looking for a super punchy, mean sounding bass, this one kinda lacks on that in my opinion. It's more of a soft, warmer sound. It sounds great with any styles such as Fingers, Slap, Pick, Thumb. The tone on the D and G string kind of remind me of a Jazz Bass, which is pretty awesome! The only problem I seem to have with this bass is that the pick guard does scratch pretty easily, but hey that's what its there for! It's a great bass for an amazing price. If you are looking for a great, inexpensive bass then look no further!

Comments about Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass Guitar:
If you are looking to add THAT Fender Precision sound to your bass arsenal, look no further! I've played countless shows/recording sessions and used many high end basses (Fender, Warwick, MusicMan, Peavey, Ibanez, etc.), but this bass beats out most of them. The quality of this bass rivals the American-made Fenders... And at a 1/4 the price! It was set up great right out of the box, but I adjusted it a tiny bit and got that REALLY low action P-Basses are famous for. Get one NOW and THAT tone you've been searching for!

Comments about Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass Guitar:
It's a great bass period. I've been playing Fender Basses professionally for over 35 years and it's as good as any I've ever owned and much better than some from earlier eras.
I did three live gigs and several rehearsals with it right out of the box with the stock strings and no additional set up whatsoever. The tone and playability were first rate. It's a very well built and finished instrument and they take care to ship it right so for those who might be hesitant to buy a bass without playing it first I'd say don't be. You won't be disappointed.
With a set of good flats and a set up for a half step dropped tuning it was even better sounding and playing. You can set a very low action with very little neck relief and still have no fret buzz. How many moderate priced basses can you do that with?
My first experience with a Squier Bass is the CV 60s Jazz Bass I've been playing for a little over a year now. It was because of my experience and overall satisfaction with that bass that I opted for this one. Although it's essentially a similar bass to the CV 60s PBass I picked the Matt Freeman because I wanted a maple neck rather than rosewood and I liked the black/maple look. It's a very sharp looking bass.
It's powerful, punchy, and plays extremely well. There are only small differences in the dimensions and the neck profile between this bass and the CV Jazz so I have no problems at all going back and forth between the two. It's slightly larger than the Jazz neck but still a very comfortable neck to play.
Some players may wish to modify them with their favorite pickup as I did but that's just a matter of personal preference and playing style. There is nothing wrong with the stock pickups. I played them over several gigs and they're fine as are the hardware and electronics. Changing them is not as likely to add much if anything to it's tone as your favorite set of strings will so save yourself the trouble and the cash and put it towards the strings.
The bottom line is that if you're looking for a moderate priced bass that will hold it's own with it's Fender cousins that sell for hundreds of dollars more then buy this bass. It matches up quite well with most anything else they produce.
Comments about Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass Guitar:
This Matt Freeman Signature Squier P-Bass (I got the Black on Black one) is a solid workhorse. I've had it for about 8 months now and it is my "go-to" bass. It never lets me down. The neck is by far the best and most beautiful part of this bass. The vintage frets are flatter than your usual Jumbo or medium frets on most modern basses. Makes for a low profile, easy playablility (like butter), and seems to hold up well against fret wear. The thick vintage finish amazingly shines like glass and has a great slick feel. The basswood body gives it a somewhat mahogany sound, a lot like the old japanese basswood fenders from the 80's. I've even knocked it against a table really hard by accident and only got a very small dent the size of the lead tip on a pencil. I thought it would be a huge dent with broken paint, but the basswood held up really well. The only downside was the pickups weren't that great, but very passable. I used the stock pickups for 7 months before installing EMG pickups. With the EMG's, it is more of a force to be wreckoned with now. Definitely a keeper. Great price, solid construction, lightweight, and top notch fit and finish. You won't be disappointed.
Comments about Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass Guitar:
Wow...It's all I could say.
Believe me when I say that I was pretty skeptical on buying another Squier again! Since my first bass ever, a Squier Affinity P bass, I had some nice basses, G&L, Fender, Music Man, and never thought I would be buying another Squier. I'm glad I did! Other reviews spoke good about this specific kinda line...The Classic Vibe...Which has the finished (gloss) neck, the brass saddled bridge, etc. and I have to say, It's waaaaaay better than a MIM Fender and equal to those made in Japan.
Once I tuned the bass...it stayed in tune, even playing slap-style with the new strings. Intonation needed just a little tweak to get it right, although immpressive intonation right out of the box. Truss rod did not need to be touched, and the action is one of the lowest I've played!
I haven't found any dead spots on the neck (typical p bass peeve) and I don't get any buzz.
The pickups and electronics are all very solid and very nice sounding. Very boomy, and it has a loooot of output! Surprised me considering it's a passive, one pickup bass. You obviously can lower your pickup and control that.
Tuners are good...not super good, but they've hold there tune pretty good. I will probably change those to authentic Fender 70's tuners one day.
The finish is excellent! the pickguard is nice. The neck finish is good too! Just one thing I noticed is the nut wasn't polished when finished. It has a lot of sanding grooves or tooling marks. But the good thing is that is made of some sort of synthetic bone material, not cheap plastic. Hope it holds up as I did break the nut on both my first squier and a Fender Jazz bass I had.
The neck is STUNNING! It's flame maple all the way! I hope it was 1 piece so the fret board would have that awesome flame as well. The tint is just right up my alley and the frets are all smooth, rolled at the ends and polished. And I like the vintage size as well

The Quality is outstanding! For the price you can't beat the quality of the bass! Read whole review in the Overall section.
What a great deal! For the bass your getting for that amount of money. I wouldn't even consider buying a Fender! For a begginer this bass will hold up for years! Do not sell it! Ever!
And for a more experienced player, this is a great back up bass to have!

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Lets hope that Adrian Peterson doesn't become the 'Kevin Garnett' of the Vikings and have to break his back for nothing only to be traded to another team and win it all which would be typical for Minnesota
Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 9/26/13
Sorry Vikings fans, but the time has come. You've had the privilege of watching one of the best running backs in NFL history and now it's time for you to send him packing. It's all his fault only because he is so good. Adrian Peterson has done some amazing things since the Vikings drafted him in 2007 and now it's time to part ways and here's why.Since he has been in the NFL Peterson has accumulated 9,130 rushing yards and 79 rushing touchdowns along with 1,578 receiving yards and 5 receiving touchdowns. At the age of 28 he doesn't seem to be slowing down although history tells us that he is likely closer to a regression in his production than he is to a dramatic improvement. He has done this while going a collective 49-50 (including games this season). He has been a part of three winning seasons for the Vikings, having gone to the playoffs in each of those seasons. At times he has been surrounded with some great talent and at other times he has been the only talent worth watching o...

Mindsensors Releases Clock Sensor
Mindsensors.com has just released a real time clock sensor for the NXT. Details

Mindsensors is getting a lot of sensors out there...but what is the practicality of a clock sensor? The NXT has built in timers, and if you wanted to make a clock robot the challenge is mechanical...
Perhaps they are trying to rival Vernier labs.

"a clock sensor"
That does sound a little odd doesn't it?
Maybe they should refer to it as a clock add-on.

Hi David,
I agree that it sounds odd.
Maniac of Mayhem use of this is not very much is building robot but mainly for datalogging.
now you can collect the data with real time stamp for analysis rather than than some odd unknown timer value.
- May 22, 2007, 6:56:00 AM
One could build a 'bot that could survey a room from say 9 AM to 5 PM. or to check something at the top of every hour, where a built in timer would have to be set up at just the right time.
- May 22, 2007, 7:07:00 AM
- Maniac of Mayhem said...
How would you go about setting one of those things? Do they come preset? And if so, to what time zone?
- May 22, 2007, 7:27:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
Perhaps an even more important use for this is very long-term datalogging. For instance, I may be using the NXT to datalog in a cave, and the NXT will be off during non-datalogging intervals. But with a sensor like this, the moment it comes on and resumes datalogging it would immediately know what time/day it is.
Now, if there were a way to power on and auto-run a program, or remotely power up and auto-run, I'd *really* be in buisness... :-)

Regarding setting the RTC,
you will use the NXT-G block for RTC,
connect RTC to NXT brick and have NXT connected to your PC.
on NXT-G block for RTC there is button to set time.
it will take time from your PC and set the RTC.
very simple to do.
BTW they come preset to EST.

besides data logging, you can probably create some fun activities:
1) cuckoo clock
2) a robot with behavior based on the day of week or time of day
3) calendar reminders
- May 22, 2007, 11:42:00 AM
- Andy said...
It would have been awsome to be able to auto turn-on the NXT brick in specific times a day. for an example, give food to the fish or dog etc. But I doubt this will be able to do... Maybe with some hardcored HW/FW hacking too change that...
- May 22, 2007, 7:51:00 PM
- Eric D. Burdo said...
I saw a modified RCX that sort of had a "self-turn on" functionality. It was based on power. If power dropped below a certain point, it went into shutdown mode. When power was restored, it woke up.
Unfortunately, it couldn't do much after it "woke up" due to limitations of the RCX (no way to run a program on startup).
The idea behind the modifications was solar power. The bot went to sleep at "night" when no power was available, and resumed activity when power was restored.

Yeah, how's that for not learning my lesson? Cave trips at the time were 3-5 days basecamps, with some... problematic... sections between the exploration limits and the entrances:
(During our entrapment, the water was significantly higher than shown here). This passage is *thought* to take around 2 weeks to dry out enough to allow an exit... but we didn't know. Thus why I wanted to datalog remotely, to determine the risk. Turns out, I determined it (*twice*) from the in-cave side, for a cumulative period of about 8-9 days. Why we do this is a different issue, but you can see some of those reasons:
All the people in that picture are me (multiple exposure), and I was the first person to ever set foot in this passage (this is what I did on my 21st birthday... what did you do? :-).

Despite a *whole* lot of effort from both the Ropple and Fisher Ridge sides of the proposed connection, none has ever been found... and believe me, we've looked! The caves come within about 800 feet of each other at one point, and at one time there was actually a dig attempt on the Ropple side of that. But for many reasons (geological), this is not perhaps the most likely place to find a connection anyway.
Nope, there is no "hidden connection", and at least on the FRCS side of things, we're too busy scooping leads on each other to keep anything secret for long in the first place!

Lemon Law Complaint Process
Have you experienced continuing problems with a motor vehicle that you purchased new or leased new in Georgia? If so, the Lemon Law provides a self-help process for you.
The Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Unit administers Georgia's Lemon Law, which is designed first and foremost to help you get your defective vehicle repaired. If the manufacturer fails to repair a recurring problem after a reasonable number of attempts and you meet certain eligibility requirements, you may apply for a state arbitration hearing. An arbitration panel may hear your complaint to decide whether you are entitled to a replacement vehicle or a refund.
The Lemon Law requires you, the consumer, to follow certain steps. We have prepared this guide to supplement the Statement, or information sheet, you should have received from the dealer at the time of your purchase or lease. Our guide will help you determine whether you and your vehicle are eligible and, if so, how to proceed. Not all of these steps may apply to you, and it is possible for your dispute to be resolved at any time during the process.
The date you purchased, leased or registered your new motor vehicle in Georgia determines the statute that applies to you.
- New motor vehicles acquired on or after January 1, 2009, are governed by the Georgia Lemon Law.
