I understand that the new 4G sites will output 70w of RF power.
What are the long term health implications of radiating this kind of power on such a large scale in schools and on the general public, let alone EMC issues? How has this been approved?
16 March 2012 11:02 AM
How kind of you all to point me in the right direction to finding the information I was looking for....NOT !
Thanks yet again to Amatuer radio and I wont mention any names but you know who you are
Thanks very much for your time
Kind Regard

I think you might find the answers in the distant past of the Home Office and the Radiocommunications Agency. I believe most of their material is now in the archives of the OFCOM web site. Try Kenley, where a lot of work on these frequencies was done.
20 March 2012 06:26 AM
Thanks Norman I will have a look at what you suggest
Kind Regards

RF is non-ionizing - that makes it quite different than ionizing radiation (like ultra violet/gamma rays/Xrays) which smashes up atoms. Compare with sunlight - at about 1000W/m^2 that is partially ionizing (UV) but we don't have regulations about exposure to it. See my other posts on this topic. All the safety levels are very low due to an excessive 'abundance of caution' and nothing to do with what you can feel or what can actually do you harm.
It also keeps a load of people in jobs in UN/ICNIRP/OFCOM going around schools making measurements confirming the level is billionths of already insiginficant low levels.

Thanks for your input Zerocred
I am beinging to realise that the wool is definately being pulled over our eyes regarding this subject!
I found this video by Dr Magda Havas entitled "Cell Tower Microwave Radiation Presentation" very interesting and some of the facts presented by her were very shocking to say the least!
I am still reading up on this topic and now trying to find what the guidelines for radiation levels are here in the UK!
Any further input would be of much interest

Have a look at the Health Protection Agency web site, on there you will find the permitted radiation levels. Also when you look at there remember the radiation pattern of the antenna. Minimum field strength on the towers I have measured has always been underneath the tower, so if you have a mast on top of a school it's perfectly safe. There is a hell of a lot of scaremongering on this topic, and people making money out of peoples unfounded worries.
Just think, you may have 80W at the antenna tower, but you have > 5W at your ear when using the mobile..., people forget that as well.
16 April 2012 11:35 AM
Thanks Haguetim
unfortunately Dr Havas does not share your views with regards the lobes produced by antennas and the recommended safe levels of radiation if you stand under a mast!
I am not one to get scared by something I just try and understand it.
So far her information has been the most informative as this subject is one that if you do not understand RF and its effects then reading a document with a load of jargon will absolutely mean nothing to you!
Which is why most of the general public are not aware of the real dangers because it has been played down by remarks like yours!
She is suggesting that the safe levels recommended are actually not that safe and the studies that she presents as evidence seem to suggest as though there maybe something to have concern about.
However as we are all aware there are massive financial gains involved with this technology that these concerns maybe being overlooked or not presented in away that would harm its progression
What studies of an unbias nature have been undertaken here in the UK?
Why was the US Army report held back for so long? By the time it was released most of the Mobile infrastructure had already been put in place!
5w at your ear for long durations cannot be a good thing and I believe they recommended that you should use an ear phone or something of that nature to keep the phone away from you now!
Anyway still a lot more to learn.
Thanks for your input
16 April 2012 02:44 PM
I'm sorry you choose to dismiss 40 years experience..
Have a look at The Stewart Report for Mobile Phone safety and the following site for low frequency EMF.
16 April 2012 02:55 PM
Thanks Haguetim
just that I have not overlooked anything!
Have a look at what independant experts in their field have to say about the subject!
Why are the UK's saftey levels 100 times higher than even the US? who we all know we have a "special relationship" with
Edited: 16 April 2012 at 03:13 PM by backinuk
16 April 2012 03:37 PM
have a look at this document which shows the current recommendations for exposure to EMF's and is allied to ICNRP guidelines. You may find that our levels are now allied to most countries. There are also a list of references for you to follow up.
Just stay clear of the Daily Mail and anyone offering medallions to protect against EMF's
And heres the ICNRP document
16 April 2012 05:46 PM
Niceone HagueTim
I will go over them as soon as get two minutes
02 May 2012 04:27 PM
This whole RF Safety thing is such a red herring...
Checkout the OFCOM measurement site - as I mentioned you can see they've been at it for years.
It's a classic case of being seen to be doing something regardless of how useless it is.
You have to ask yourself why do they bother? My guess is its cushier than stacking shelves in Tesco.
I welcome a representative from Ofcom to argue the toss of how vitally important these measurements are.
02 May 2012 09:36 PM
Thanks Zerocred
I am inclined to be in agreement with you at this stage still!
I didn't want to read what the ICNIRP, World Health Organisation (WHO) and all the government backed scientist had to say straight off as it would probably bias my train of thought.
The Bio report makes it clear and out lines what the problems are!
(Also we all know or at least should know, that the UN and WHO are just tools for the U.S and England when they want something implemented!)
The report shows that the levels of radiation from a mobile phone or cell tower that the government, advised by people like the IEEE and world health organisations (WHO) have deemed safe are actually not safe at all.
Sweden has recently dropped their exposure level requirements for the general public significantly!
I am not completely versed on this yet, however it would seem that "extremely low frequencies" (ELF's) can cause our immune systems to react in some way shape or form in response to these ELF's and as a result causes harm!!
The reasons the IEEE and WHO are not agreeing with the new evidence (well not really new because it has been a well known fact now for a number of years) is because they are still basing their levels on "non ionising radiation" which is basically a heating effect caused by the radiation!
However if you care to read the bio-initiative report you will see that something called "free radicals" & "melatonin" are affected which somehow changes your DNA to cause cancer!
I asked myself what it would mean in real terms to lower these levels especially with the knowledge that free radicals and melatonin may need zero tolerance levels? !!!!
Further to this I read in the report that the US Army had conducted tests on rats and found ELF's to be carcinogenic (cancer producing) however this report was held as classified for many years and not released until recently by which time much of the mobile phone infrastructure across the world is already in place!
In the report I read that they were also testing ELF' s as a weapon and recommended that It still be funded to continue the research to this day.!!! How many people are aware of the H.A.A.R.P project?
The site that HagueTim provided http://emf.epri.com/ when you take a closer look you will find that even though they are a non profit organisation their board of directors are CEO's of big and powerful power companies, so how inpartial they can be is beyond me!
Also the World health Organisation has an obligation to act on the publics behalf even if they think their is a slight chance of something un toward, however this is clearly not the case as they have not put their foot down to change things.
So getting back to my original question, what would the long term effects be? Well I cant see it being very good as an increase in power would mean the cells radiate further affecting more and more people!
I found a compay called Sarantel http://www.sarantel.com/
They manufacture
"revolutionary ceramic filtering antennas offering dramatically improved performance over existing antenna designs, resulting in a clearer signal, better range and a 90 per cent reduction in the amount of signal radiation absorbed by the body."
A 90% reduction ...wow ! is this why they are dragging their heels? Because they already have altenative plans in place!
Anyway these are very interesting yet worrying times!
Anymore info will be most welcome...........
Edited: 02 May 2012 at 09:48 PM by backinuk
08 May 2012 12:50 PM
It seems that whatever information is published by scientists you will disagree with, and antennas from Sarantel that reduce the amount of local radiation... well all that will happen is that the O/P ot the handset will increase it's power to compensate.
I suggest you buy a head to toe cape made out of RF shielding material as recommended by some sites, bond it to a ground plane and away you go..., oh and shut down all Radio, TV, Paging, emergency communications etc etc...
08 May 2012 01:58 PM
Thanks Haguetim for your input
I am not sure which part of the conversation I actually disagreed with the facts presented
only expressing a view that people supposed to be looking after our interestings are not as genuine as they would have you believe!
Yet again Haguetim you have shown yourself to be arrogant and forceful with your opinion, you have offered little other than contention!
I noticed that this was also the case in a very recent forum on RSGBTechs
What I have found in my experience is that people "who know" their stuff do not come across as you do at all
I suppose you are one of those that believe that Jesus is a white blond haired man?..............
A bit off topic I know, however no doubt you get the jist.
08 May 2012 07:50 PM
@back inuk - all these scientists are after is the next research grant, so of course they are not going to categorically say it is safe, or not, and watch teh funding tap close, they will say it requires more study, longer times, more detail, bigger samples and more money, "because the effects we are looking for are so insignificant that we can't find them - but it doesn't mean they're not there". Just how many blades of grass must they look at to conclude they're all grass coloured?
If it was really so dangerous we would have a pandemic of cancer or something on our hands, we don't. We probably have a pandemic of people with repetitive strain injury to their thumbs - with the occasionaly outbreak of broken bones due to iPhonitis (it happend a friend of mine with a Blackberry -tip don't look at phone going down stairs, aka watch where you are going). Future generations will have terrible shortsighteness too.
About these people who claim electro senstivitiy, I do not doubt they beleive they feel ill. If you think something is making you ill, then you will feel ill, 'it' must be causing it - right?
Well, no. Google for "hypnosis burn blister" - people's bodies react as if they have been burned even when they haven't, only because they think they have. The symptoms are real but the cause is not. Mass hystereia, panics all the same etc etc.
If you think there is a problem with the low levels of RF you are subjected to then radio engineering is the wrong business, better organic farming or deep sea diving or something safe from RF. If you feel unsure about RF safety that way its like a member of CND working on a polaris submarine, less radiation than on the surface but he feels every neutrino pass through his body.
"90% reduction antenna" that's a scam. I can reduce the RF leakage from your phone to zero and I only charge £29.99
RF engineers' children are always girls - that is true. Except for those that had boys.
It is very sad we are having this dicsussion on here. Its one thing if it is with the mis/uninformed general public but if "engineering and technology professionals" don't bother to read the ICNIRP output then this is epic FAIL.

09 May 2012 09:56 AM
OK, maybe I was a bit harsh but all of this has been gone over time after time.
If you want an alternative perspective have a look at this site:-
As zerocred has said, I precis.., with the proliferation of RF emitters over the last 50 years or so, we would have an epidemic of cancers, which we just don't have..., even among the users of RF who are least likely to take precautions, Radio Hams. The Stewart report did look into this.
09 May 2012 10:15 AM
Thanks Zerocred for taking the trouble.
Yes I have lots to learn around the subject indeed!
Which is why I thought forums of this nature where intended for exactly this type of discussion.
If this type of subject cannot be rasied among people who do have a better understanding then I ask you where can it be rasied?
I would hate to think that anything that I was a part of may hurt anyone! As no doubt most engineers would.
I also thought the IET was supposed to be a place for up and coming engineers to acquire knowledge from their peers. Juding by the response I am getting It is being made quite clear that asking opposing view questions is out of the QUESTION!
If you create this culture then all you are creating are yes men surely? Engineers that are afraid to question anything for fear of being undermined and belittled? Or classed as trouble makers because they didn't act like sheep!
Or is this down to engineering ethics, is there some unwritten law that if you are involved in developing something for someone that if you come to realise that it may cause harm you are not supposed to say anything for fear of hurting your client, in turn hurting yourself?
The IET gets its funding from who?
Zerocred & Haguetim
They buried a collegue of mine not so long ago who died of cancer (RF engineer) non smoker.........
I hear what you say about pandemics, If they have not even started to look at what the experts in the bioreport are claiming, then their is not much chance that they will be monitoring this in health surveys anyway.
Cancers will be put down to smoking and known causes surely?
How much truth is there in the goalposts being moved by ICNIRP and the other government agencies making it harder to set a level for agreement on both sides?
Why are there not more independant experts invited to the meetings?
Why have Sweden dropped their levels significantly recently?
Learning loads and would appreciate input from anyone who has anymore information old or new.
Thanks for your time

I have a general rule of "don't feed the trolls" (especially ones that throw a tantrum ten days after first posting because their fellow members haven't rushed off in their spare time to do their research for them!), but I feel I have to chip in.
We are supposed to be a "professional *learned* society" and, while I respect @backintheuk's quest for knowledge, I do fear that he has allowed himself to be led down the bunkum marginalised pseudo-science path of cherry-picked evidence and scare-mongering opinion-pieces, never mind hokum causes based on poor understandings of bio-medical effects. Citing risible conspiracy theories about the US and UK controlling the UN and WHO further reduces credibility, and accusing the independent experts of partiality sounds increasingly desperate. The downside of the Internet allowing everyone a voice is that *you* are then responsible for assessing their credibility - not all opinions are equally valid. A minority counter-view and debate is a sign of science working healthily and well, but if the consensus and balance of expert opinion and credible scientific research says there is no harm, it's incumbent on the minority seeking the paradigm shift (e.g. think Galileo, Newton, Einstein) to present compelling evidence. They haven't.
@haguetim has offered a slew of evidence in support of the "no harm" findings. I'll add more - both informal and referenced - but I acknowledge that people who have already made up and closed their minds to this are unlikely to be swayed regardless of the quality of the evidence.
Intuitively: mobile phones have been around for decades, and previous generations of mobile phone standard have used much higher power levels. Radio itself has been around for over a hundred years, and radio frequencies have been merrily passing through our bodies since we first climbed out of the primordial soup. Radio is pervasive.
A recent episode of the popular BBC1 science programme "Bang Goes The Theory" (Episode 5 of 8, Series 6 as screened on 16 April, on iPlayer currently at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01glqs8) presented a good depiction of this with the use of light to show received signal levels in a public area. We are all continuously bathed in radio energy of all frequencies from DC-to-daylight with no notable ill-effects. The "Bang Goes The Theory" episode even concluded with the summary that radio waves are not harmful.
As @zerocred notes, if there was some dangerous effect, we'd be seeing the effects already - think of the typical normal/Gaussian distribution: if mobile phones cause some terrible medical condition (I won't feed the trolls by randomly picking one for them to disagree with or to seize upon) then some people (heavy users, susceptible users, etc.) at the leading edge of that bell-shaped curve would be exhibiting it already. But, instead, to take cancer (solely because @backintheuk brought it up): "since the early 1990s, the incidence rates have remained fairly constant" [http://info.cancerresearchuk.o...r-incidence-statistics - in fact, you could even argue that the rates are in decline. And that's not even taking into account the improved detection and diagnosis, and improved longevity, that we have nowadays that will naturally cause that rate to increase.
However, such informal observations are unscientific, so, secondly, I refer you to peer-reviewed independent reports by the Health Protection Agency and by our own Institution of Engineering and Technology. All show that there is no evidence of harmful effects.
The official Health Protection Agency advice is here: http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/R...cFields/MobilePhones/. It concludes (quoting the IEGMP Stewart Report, an *independent* report into the health effects of mobile phones) "This expert group concluded that there was no clear scientific evidence of harm to health from exposure to mobile phone signals."
The IET offers http://www.theiet.org/factfiles/bioeffects/index.cfm: "the balance of scientific evidence to date still does not indicate that harmful effects occur in humans due to low-level exposure to EMFs. This conclusion remains reassuringly the same as that reached in its previous position statements, the last being in May 2010, and has not been substantially altered by the peer-reviewed literature published in the past two years."
Other countries, such as New Zealand and the USA (to pick different arbitrary countries to Sweden) concur, and, at most, offer the same precautionary "just in case, one-in-a-million-chance" advice as the UK.
Even if we discount the profit-motive for perpetually recommending "further research" in such studies, there is always room for further studies and long-term monitoring of the effects of technologies, and any scientist worth his or her salt will keep an open mind to the possibility (no matter how slim) that future research may uncover something. Hence there are precautionary "good practice" steps that are recommended.
The precautionary exposure/SAR levels set by the various world organisations are (to quote Prof. Christopher Davis, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Maryland: there is an excellent series of lecture-excerpts by him available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...arI7HY&feature=relmfu) fifty times below the level at which there are behavioural changes - i.e. the level at which the test subject would say "ooh, that feels a bit warm" and move away - which is, in turn, orders of magnitude below the level at which any harm would be caused. For there to be a biological effect, there needs to be a physical and, in turn, chemical effect. Apart from spouting non-sequitur scary-sounding phrases such as "free radicals" and "melatonin", what peer-reviewed, scientific evidence is there for any such physical effect?
I reiterate - there has been *no* statistical evidence of any adverse effects from mobile phones. Furthermore, there is *no* known biomedical mechanism by which such adverse effects *could* occur.
I've presented both informal evidence (we're not keeling over from mobile phone use despite widespread use) and compelling scientific evidence based on vast epidemiological studies (Stewart Report, IET), along with a reasoned argument. But I fully expect to be dismissed as being an "expert" (a sad reflection on our society that such a label can be used pejoratively), as being forceful and arrogant in my presentation, and all the other /ad hominem/ attacks that @backintheuk has rather rudely made of the other contributors on this thread in his defence of his irrational position. But at least I've tried!

DEXTER Steve Fisher has always been his teams most vocal critic.
He has demanded perfection through almost 50 highly successful years of coaching football, mainly at General Brown. And thats why anything less will try his ire, even though the performance may have looked good on the field.
So after the Lions rolled over Altmar-Parish-Williamstown 53-12 Friday night to remain unbeaten (4-0 overall, 2-0 Section 3 Class C North), Fisher was especially upset with his clubs tackling, a couple of fumbles on kickoff, and the inability to kick extra points.
We didnt improve in a lot of areas this week, said Fisher, back on the Lions sidelines after three years away. If we want to win a division and possibly a sectional title, weve got to correct those things and keep making progress.
Fishers criticism aside, the youthful Lions (with just eight seniors on the roster) resembled some of his most powerful teams of the past. The Lions pounded the Rebels (0-4, 0-3) on the ground, churning out 324 rushing yards on 44 attempts. And their aggressive defense limited APW to only 30 net rushing yards on 29 tries, and intercepted four passes, three by Matt Haley.
One of Fishers captains, senior two-way performer Rob Pickeral, said because Fisher demands so much, hes always prodding the Lions to do better. Hes never satisfied with how we play, no matter what the score, Pickeral said. Coach knows we can do better, and I think this team is improving and has a world of potential.
Fisher knew he had a bruising runner in junior Zech Pitre, who ran for more than 1,000 yards last year and already has gained more than 500 yards this season, including 99 Friday along with two short touchdowns.
But a big question mark, who would take over at quarterback, has been answered with the emergence of sophomore Evan Will. Will, looking like a poised senior rather than a first-year varsity man, directed the General Brown attack with the aplomb of a veteran. He showed his running ability by gaining 123 yards on 10 carries. And he was accurate through the air, completing 8 of 9 passes for 65 more yards.
Evan really worked hard in the off season to get stronger and to prepare for this season, Fisher said. Hes still growing and will probably get stronger.
Pitre said Will proved from the first day of preseason camp that he could do the job. Each week, hes looking more comfortable running the offense and he seems to make all the right decisions.
Will directed consecutive nine-play drives in the first quarter as General Brown jumped out to a 12-0 lead on two Pitre 3-yard TD runs.
The Rebels scored on an 11-yard scramble by quarterback Jarid Paninski to start the second quarter. But Will contributed a 3-yard scoring run, Joe Pitre added one from a yard out and Brandin Meier tacked on a 1-yard TD run before halftime as the Lions led at half, 32-6.
Fisher gave his reserves plenty of playing time in the second half because he knows they will be needed somewhere down the line.
Haley returned one of his interceptions 32 yards for a third-quarter score, while Ryan Cumberbatch and Meier added the final two scores on short runs.
The veteran boss said this is one of the most unselfish groups Ive ever been around. Its been a real pleasure coming to work every day. These kids want to learn, and they are all about We instead of I.
Pickeral was asked if coach Fisher has mellowed any in his return to the General Brown sidelines. Not that I have noticed, Pickeral said. Hes pretty much all business, and thats what we expected.
After a final home game against Adirondack next week comes the Lions two biggest games of the year, both on the road, at divisional foes Lowville and Immaculate Heart Central.
Thats what were pointing for, Pickeral said. Im sure coach will have us prepared.

Lots of excitement here at Titleist Canada HQ this morning! What did you think of the Adam's performance yesterday?Here is some insider info on Adam's equipment...
An all NEW Pro V1 playoff! Titleist was the most relied upon golf ball in the limited-field of 93 with 52 players, more than four times the nearest competitor with 12.
Scott played the new Titleist 913D3 driver for the first time in competition this week. He switched from the Titleist 910D3 driver and all of his specifications remained the same. Scott stayed with 9.5 degrees of loft, an A-1 (neutral) SureFit Tour Hosel setting and Graphite Design Tour AD DI 8, X flex graphite shaft. Adam worked with Titleist Tour Representative Chris Tuten on the Wednesday of the Tampa Bay Championship to dial in a precision fit. Adam did not put the 913D3 driver into play in Tampa, preferring to work with it during his preparation weeks leading up to the Masters. Adam came to Augusta ready to put it in play and was extremely confident in his performance with it following several practice rounds. Scott cited that he was getting a higher, longer ball flight with the new driver which would be beneficial to him at Augusta National and going forward.
Scott also put a refined Scotty Cameron by Titleist Futura X prototype putter in the bag this week. He has been working with Cameron since December on the new long putter that provides the high MOI (Moment of Inertia) and path that Scott was seeking. While the design of the putter creates a high MOI, Cameron took the putter one step further by adding more stability to the face with perimeter weighting. High MOI combined with perimeter weighting gives this putter a very unique feel and performance. The putter is made out of aluminum and includes a balance bar and four tungsten weights that are positioned under four adjustable stainless steel weights in the far four corners of the putter for maximum MOI. The putter is 49" in length, has a 79* lie angle and 3* of loft.

Thanks for the post with all the specs of what's in Adam Scott's bag. I thoroughly enjoy reading the WITB threads. It gives a great insight on how the tour players are fitted for their game. Adam Scott's win was absolutely amazing. He is a true fighter and never gave up throughout his round. Having Stevie Williams at the bag was a positive influence for him aswell. It's great to see an Aussie bring home the green jacket. He's such a great ambassador to Titleist and the game. Great Job Adam and I look forward to seeing more of his success.
Cheers Shawn

What Shawn said. My sentiments exactly!
It was an awesome win for Adam. One of the most exciting finishes to a major in recent memory. Adam is a great ambassador for Titleist and the people of Australia and golf fans everywhere should be proud of him. Personally I couldn't be happier for him. There have been very few tournaments where I have felt so happy for the winner as I did for Adam. The putt he sank at 18 to finish was a truly electrifying moment and it was awesome to see him follow it up with another big putt on 10.
Very happy for Adam and for Angel who almost pulled off his 3rd PGA Tour major. It was a fight to the end and he gutted it out on the way in with two massive putts to close it out.
Fantastic start to the majors. Congrats Adam, very well deserved.
As usual, the Masters didn't disappoint. Having a Team Titleist ambassador win was just the icing on the cake!! Congrats Adam, one of hopefully many majors!!!
It was nice to see Adam Scott win, and particularly nice to hear him pay homage to Greg Norman. So nice to see the young players show respect for those that preceded them.
Congrats to Adam, the Aussies, and Team Titleist for a great win.
I won't start with some of the other sad things that transpired during the Masters...

BUFFALO, NY - A local ice cream and candy shop Sweet Jenny's on Main Street in Williamsville and Oh Pour L'Amour Du Chocolat on Main street in Amherst has named two flavors of ice cream after WGRZ Evening Anchor Scott Levin.
The flavors are called, "Levin La Vida Mocha," which is mocha ice cream with chocolate covered espresso beans, and "Levin On The Edge," which is peanut butter and coffee ice cream with peanut butter cup chunks.
Levin approved the flavors during a tasting with his family and says, "I can't decide which I like better, both are delicious", hence the decision to make two flavors and not one.
Howard Cadmus and his wife Tara are donating proceeds to Levin's charity of choice, St. Luke's Mission Of Mercy.

The most unusual thing about this recipe is that stout is substituted for the water or coffee used in most gingerbread recipes. I find it adds a lot of richness and underscores the spices. Since it is made with oil, this cake will stay moist for several days. Dress it up or simply enjoy it on its own, with coffee, tea, or a beer!
YIELD: Makes 8 servings
- 1 cup Guinness stout
- 1 cup molasses
- 1/2 tablespoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon grated, peeled fresh gingerroot
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9- X 5-inch loaf pan, line the bottom and sides with parchment, and grease the parchment. Alternatively, butter and flour a 6-cup Bundt pan.
2. In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the stout and molasses and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the baking soda. Allow to sit until the foam dissipates.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the eggs and both sugars. Whisk in the oil.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom.
5. Combine the stout mixture with the egg mixture, then whisk this liquid into the flour mixture, half at a time. Add the fresh ginger and stir to combine.
6. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the top springs back when gently pressed. Do not open the oven until the gingerbread is almost done, or the center may fall slightly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Read: Eastern Conference Buyout Candidates
At ESPN.com, Craig Custance goes team by team and lists out the most likely candidate for each team to use their compliance buyout on.
Custance only thinks of seven candidates that could be cut but only lists two as "extremely likely." Those players are Wade Redden and Scott Gomez.
Custance lists no other possible candidates for the Rangers to use the amnesty on and says that Redden needs to go to make room for the contracts of Michael Del Zotto, Derek Stepan and Ryan McDonagh.

The Glen Garioch distillery may well be Scotland's first licensed distillery. Varying dates are given as to the founding of the distillery, but all are predated by an article in the Aberdeen Journal on the 1st December 1785, which announced the first distillation of spirit at the site. Glen Garioch (pronounced 'Glen Geery') lies at the village of Old Meldrum in Aberdeenshire. The distillery buildings sit huddled on a little outcrop flecked with heather gorse and grasses and surrounded by barley pastures - it is said that some of the best barley in Scotland is to be found there. Having changed hands many times over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Glen Garioch distillery was shut down in 1968. Stanley P Morrison acquired the distillery two years later. In 1973, following extensive renovations, production resumed. The whisky produced was much more reminiscent of traditional Highland single malts, this was due in part to the floor maltings at the distillery and the malt maker's schooling on Islay, where he learnt the joys of peated whiskies. At a time when the Islay malt whiskies were very fashionable, Glen Garioch's new, robust character did much for the fortunes of the distillery. The floor maltings were decommissioned in 1979, though recently there has been much talk of using them once more. Today, the distillery is under the Japanese Suntory ownership, after they acquired Morrison Bowmore in 1994. Glen Garioch currently runs at three quarters of capacity, producing around 700,000 litres per annum and selling roughly one third of this yearly, much being exported for the Asian market. There are several house bottlings, as well as a few exotic finishes and a handful of independent expressions.

Idle Weekend Chatter
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sun, 07/06/08, 06:58pm:
The motivation for his decision to opt out was that he could put pressure on the Clippers to improve the roster, to make the team better by spending a little money. They did just that. So Brand should have fallen in and re-joined the Clippers. But five days have passed and Brand still hasn't signed.
It's worth asking: Why not?
"It makes sense for Elton to wait till the salary-cap numbers come out, because then he knows exactly what teams can offer and what his options are," says one league source. "He wants the max. He can put the Clippers in a situation that they have to give it to him."
One general manager agreed. "I don't think Elton really wants to leave the Clippers, but he wants them to pay him, too," he said...
If L.A. wants to keep Brand, the only way to ensure it happens is to up the offer. Otherwise, by the end of this week, we could have our second shocker of the free-agent period.
There's some irony here. By opting out, Brand clearly put pressure on the Clippers to spend more money on other free agents. What isn't clear is whether he can put enough pressure to get the Clippers to spend more money on himself.
My most cynical sense is that Brand's initial posture -- "Show me you're serious about winning, and I'll stay" -- was based on his belief that the Clippers would never be able to attract the talent to demonstrate their seriousness, which, in turn, would give him cover to walk. But when the Clips landed Baron Davis, it left Brand in the awkward position of having to either live by his word -- and forfeit $20M -- or leave and break his tacit commitment.
Again, this is the least generous read on the situation. The more hopeful one is...hopefully...more likely. And the best case scenario is here.
UPDATE: Marc Stein gets into the numbers:
...Even if Brand is not interested in the extra sixth year that only the Clippers are allowed to offer him and insists on a five-year deal -- as my tireless colleague Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reports -- L.A. can still assemble a five-year deal worth $80-85 million and give Davis his estimated $65 million over five years.
Upping their reported five-year, $70 million offer to Brand depends on how many of the following free agents that the Clippers are willing to renounce in addition to possibly waiving Josh Powell: Corey Maggette, Shaun Livingston, Quinton Ross, Nick Fazekas, Marcus Williams, Paul Davis, Dan Dickau, Boniface N'Dong, James Singleton and the immortal Smush Parker.
We might eventually be looking at a difference of only $10 million or so between the two contracts, as opposed to the widespread assumption that the Warriors are offering some $20 million more than their Pacific Division co-tenants ... as long as Clippers owner Donald Sterling is willing to go to the five-year max.
No matter how jittery Clippers officials might be about Golden State's rich offer -- as we also keep hearing -- Sterling shouldn't have much to fret about if he's willing to nudge Brand's new deal past the $80 million plateau. I struggle to see a shortfall of $10 million or $12 million or anything in that ballpark convincing Brand to walk away from L.A. to join a Golden State team that suddenly has a major hole at point guard as well as a younger core than the team he'd be leaving.
It's especially hard to picture that scenario when you factor in Brand's well-chronicled love of Hollywood, his one-of-a-kind pride in being a Clipper and the fact that Brand, as ESPN.com reported last week, specifically told Clippers management during negotiations on a contract extension in June that Davis was the player he hoped they'd pursue if Davis became available in free agency.
Why Elton might not be interested in year 6.

Read: Steps To End The Lockout
At CBC, Dan Oldfield lists 7 steps that the NHL and NHLPA should take to end the lockout.
He says that this season, as short as it may be, should be an extension of the old agreement, "Treat 2012-13 as an extension of the old contract, with the same split of revenue as last season but reduced to reflect the shortened schedule. In this way, at least one year of existing contracts will have been exhausted."
He says that the deal should be for six years and that the free agent rules stay the same for the first three years but change to the league proposed changed in the final three years.
Oldfield writes that there should be no limit on contract length but cap hit is defined by a rolling five year period.
Pierre LeBrun, at ESPN, agrees with Cotsonika and says that once both sides move a little on make whole and player contract rights the deal will be done.

"I mean, honestly, I was watching America's Next Top Model and the season where there were the British girls. Well the British girl who won [Sophie Sumner], she had pink hair, and I thought, 'That looks really pretty.' So I'm copying her, basically."

To succeed, every aspiring engineer must possess certain skills. Among these skill-sets are the ability to communicate ideas, the discipline to work closely with others and the gaining of practical knowledge. One way for a student to begin developing these abilities is to work on a design project while in school. Enter SAE Aero Design. Every year the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) puts on a competition that provides a unique opportunity for students and schools from around the world to build their own remote control aircraft from the ground up and compete with each other. SAE Aero Design provides skills and experiences that cannot be matched in any classroom or lab. Employing the overall standard of excellence upheld by LeTourneau University, we hope to compete admirably at competition and use our gifts and talents to the best of our ability in order to challenge our fellow competitors.
This year, LeTourneau's SAE Aero Design team is very blessed to be sponsored again by Mr. Brian French, owner of Corporate Aero Group.

Think liquids are wimpy? Think again! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby explain how some of the strongest machines in the world are powered by the liquid power of hydraulics. You'll discover early examples of water-based engineering from Ancient Rome to medieval China. You'll also explore how modern machines use pistons, tubes, highly-pressurized oil, and a nifty principle called Pascal's Law to amplify their power. And you'll see how all that power can be used to move the arms of huge construction vehicles or stop cars on a dime! Using liquid power to move mechanical monstrosities--now that's a strong move.

|Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone, Michael Ironside

|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Your mind, it is the center of your life. It is everything you hear, everything you see, everything you feel. It is everything you are. How would you know if someone stole your mind?
Earthbound muscleman construction worker Douglas Quaid has dreams of living on Mars. Quaid's wife, on the other hand, has no desire to give up her perfect life on Earth, so one day Quaid goes to Rekall, a place where you are put under and and have your mind implanted with your wildest fantasies. The best part is you're none the wiser. That is until something goes wrong. After a malfunction Quaid can't separate what's real and what isn't. They stole his mind, now he wants it back.
Paul Verhoeven directs AHNULD Schwarzenegger in his sci-fi blast of pure excellence. You'll see a man with an alien in his stomach, a lady with three boobs and what happens to a body when it's exposed to the Martian landscape. You'll wish you had 3 hands and 6 eyes because no remake can ever replace the classic awesome of the original.
After languishing for years in development hell this film was finally able to come to fruition after 42 drafts of the script. Richard Dreyfuss, Patrick Swayze and William Hurt were all in line to play Douglas Quaid until everything fell through and one AHNULD stepped in to save the day. Schwarzenegger had extreme creative control and his first act was to hire ROBOCOP helmer Verhoeven to anchor this otherworldly INDIANA JONES goes to Mars. What started as a disaster developed into one of the coolest longstanding action films of our time AND managed to be a huge success despite only have 42 seconds of CGI in it.

|Update on Oil Spill into Creek/7-23-2010
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 22 July 2010 12:56
Boone Firemen responded yesterday morning to a fuel spill from Mountain Oil, springing from a tank on their King Street lot and into a small creek that flows directly into the South Fork of the New River. The red-tinted fuel turned the creek red while firemen struggled to get ahead of the spill, then work back toward its origin. On Chestnut Street, where it ran under the street, firemen used absorbent sheets to soak the fuel from the top of the water, and eventually built a dike in the stream to pool the leaked fuel. A company specializing in such clean-ups took on the task by mid-afternoon to mitigate the damage. Just what penalties Mountain Oil might face remain to be seen.
***7/23/2010 @ 12:10 pm by Cindy Cafaro...Boone Fire Department would like to remind everyone that the oil spill is still being cleaned up. This will be an ongoing process over the next week or so. They are asking that all residents please stay out of the creek until the "all clear" is given.

Jennifer Lawrence is having a great year. After breaking out in Winter's Bone, she quickly lined up roles in The Beaver and X-Men: First Class. Now she has her sights set on a role in Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper's Lie Down In Darkness.
"I am obsessed with that part. I have this feeling of protectiveness over characters I want to play. I worry about them — if someone else gets the part, I'm afraid they won't do it right."
The former star of "The Bill Engvall Show" goes on to say:
"I'm trying to write the director of 'Lie Down in Darkness' a letter to convince him that I should be in his movie. I'll chase him if I have to. I'll sit outside his house." She laughed. "I'm beside myself over that script. When I get like that, anything's possible."
Ruh-roh. Looks like we've got another Sean Young on our hands. I've already called the police. (W Magazine)
With the release of The Expendables this week, children of the 80s (like me) have many reasons to celebrate. Some of "our generation's" greatest action heroes are returning to the big screen. Not only that, they're bringing with them the kind of action that made us want to be them in the first place. Good old fashion action – the kind with machine guns with grenade launchers attached – the kind with limbs blowing off – the kind with Dolph Lundgren!
With all the stars in this movie (some on the rise, some on the decline), we wanted to look at each Expendable's career highs and lows (and the enormous chasm between) – because for every First Blood, there's a Judge Dredd…
Could we see Zach Galifianakis playing John Belushi in the near future? Possibly. THR has news that Todd Phillips and screenwriter Steven Conrad are developing a biopic about the comic legend at Warner Bros. Nearly thirty years after his death from a drug overdose, Belushi remains one of the most-respected names in comedy due to his classic films, "SNL" characters, and general fearlessness that he poured into his work.
Casting for this needs to be perfect or else the project is sunk. Names like Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and Ethan Suplee have been thrown into the mix, but I feel like casting directors need look no further than comedian Sean Patton. This man is his exact double. If we can almost make Donald Glover a Spider-man, we can do this. Here's a clip of Patton killing on Jimmy Fallon:
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm not sure that he can do Belushi's eyebrow thing.
Paramount Pictures has purchased the rights to Last Man Standing, SlashFilm is reporting. No, not the 1996 Bruce Willis flop, but rather the upcoming graphic novel by Daniel LuVisi.
The comic, which isn't due out until September, was purchased from Heavy Metal Publishing, which is owned by Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The story chronicles the adventures of Gabriel, a genetically modified super-soldier who is framed as a mass murderer by a terrorist organization.
I don't blame you if your natural inclination is to draw parallels between this story and the current Mel Gibson frame-up we're watching unfold, but the book predates the Gibson incident, so any similarities are purely coincidental.
The Old Spice Guy, a.k.a. Isaiah Mustafa, has parlayed his recent popularity into a budding film career. First, he landed a smaller role in Horrible Bosses. Now comes word that Mustafa has landed a larger role in the upcoming Tyler Perry film, Madea's Big Happy Family.
The film is reportedly a drag queen flick that fetishizes fat old women and strong, supportive black families. Mustafa will co-star alongside Perry, who will play the drag queen in question, and Lil Bow Wow, who will play the guy who is lucky to be working. (Empire Online)
Your story checks out, James. Let's hope you were wrong about Skynet.
If there's one thing I love in this world, it's eating a nice big meal and then heading home to drop a deuce. If there's a second thing I love, it's Avatar. That's why my head almost exploded when I saw this picture. It manages to combine my love of Avatar and my love of defecation in a humorous and timely manner.
For those of you who don't know, the photo is from Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, the Rolls-Royce of bathroom periodicals. This particular page from back in 1999 confirms James Cameron's long held assertion that he had to wait so long to make Avatar because technology had to catch up to his vision. I guess he isn't a pompous windbag after all, at least not in this instance.
Although, as someone on a comment board pointed out, this is James Cameron. He could have easily sent one of his robots back in time to add that page. (Film Drunk)
Someone added the Inception score to this video of a guy getting nailed by an ice cream truck. I'm hoping it was the kick he needed to snap him back to reality so he quits acting like an idiot and dancing in traffic.

AMC has officially picked up the crime thriller the "The Killing" to series. It will join the line-up of "Mad Men," "Rubicon," "Breaking Bad," and "The Walking Dead," the Frank Darabont zombie series that you and I both can't wait to premiere in October. The show will be renamed, and run by creator/executive producer Veena Sud.
Set in Seattle, the series is based on the wildly successful Danish television series "Forbrydelsen" and tells the story of the murder of a young girl and the subsequent police investigation. Production on the series begins this fall in Vancouver and season one consists of 13, one-hour episodes. The series is slated to premiere in 2011 on AMC.
If you're intrigued, you can read the rest of the press release after the jump. And just FYI, Keanu Reeves doesn't star in it. Awww, don't be sad. Put that sandwich down and get off of that bench.
That's not going to put it out, you guys.
What up with Zach Galifianakis's face in this new poster for Due Date? I don't think I've ever seen the man smile. It doesn't even look like he willingly smiled for this picture. The artist must have turned his frown upside down with the "Smile" Photoshop pluggin. You should totally download it.
The best part of the poster is the friggin' adorable French Bulldog. Look at that g.d. thing. I want to smoosh its precious little face until it's mush, which is the main reason I'm on PETA's sh*tlist. (Yahoo)
Paramount has scooped up the rights to the not-yet-published young adult novel Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick. The story follows a high school student who gets stuck with a homely and boring European exchange student who turns out to be secretly hot. And also an assassin.
If that sounds like "Chuck" to you, then you have a promising future in Hollywood. "Chuck" creator Josh Schwartz has been attached to develop the concept. Speaking of Chuck, this sounds a lot like Palahniuk's novel Pygmy. So imagine Pygmy meets I Love You, Beth Cooper, minus the social commentary. And Hayden Panettiere. (Deadline)
Know for lightning quick reflexes and amazing acrobatic stunts, Jet Li is one Expendable not to mess with. While stateside we've seen Li play more of the standard stone cold killer types in War, Romeo Must Die, and Lethal Weapon 4, over in his native China, Li is far more badass. Just check out his amazing work in Once Upon a Time in China, Hero, or Fist of Legend for a good action smack in the teeth.
Highly Debatable Best Role: Wong Fei-hung in Once Upon a Time in China trilogy
Weird Fact: When he was 11-years-old he won a trip to Washington D.C. to meet President Richard Nixon after becoming the Chinese National Champion in Wushu martial arts.
Today the Internet has lovingly delivered us this trailer for HALKa, the Bangladeshi attempt at capturing the legend of the Incredible Hulk. I don't believe that, "Say whaaaaaaaaa?!," begins to cover it.
This trailer tells the classic story of the Hulk's origin: being publicly sodomized with a pick-axe by bullies to the point that Bruce Banner invents an Incredible Hulk potion using beakers and Doogie Howser's computer. He then goes on to fight his greatest enemy, Guy With Bicycle With Guns On It. Whatever, the trailer looks amazing. It's even more trippy than Enter The Void.
Just see for yourself after the jump…
Sofia Vergara let the Freudian slips fly on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night. Actually, it all started earlier in the day when Sofia tweeted that she was excited to "do Kimmel" that night. Except she meant "do" as in appear on, not "do" as in bang.
In trying to defend herself on the show, she kept accidentally rambling on and on about sex. Sex, sex, sex, sex. Does the woman think of nothing else? Before we know it she's going to convince Christina Hendricks that they should do a topless photoshoot together. It sickens me! **Mother pulls ear away from bedroom door. Google "Modern Family/Mad Men" fan fiction**
Check out the euphemisms after the jump…
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World PG-13, 105m., 2010 Cast: Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kerian Culken, Mark Webber, Alison Pill, with Brandon Routh and Jason Schwartzman Directed by Edgar Wright…
It was rumored last week that Blake Lively was making a play for the role of sexy astronaut in Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity. However, it's been expected that role was Scarlett Johansson's for the taking. Well, now it's official that both ladies are pushing for the part, with reports that they both have tested for the role.
Will this create a rift between the two? Will that rift involve wrestling?? Hopefully. We'll let you know if and when Pay-Per-View tickets for the event go on sale. Gravity is said to be a really ambitious, experimental film that would require a lot from whichever actress lands the part. Neither Johansson or Lively have carried a film of this magnitude to date, but both are ready to step up. Personally, I'm really torn. Either would be super-convincing as an astronaut. (THR)
The Playlist has alerted us to an interview with Mike Tyson that is as candid as you'd expect from the man who once threatened to "f*ck you until you love him." It all came about when Mike wandered into a Las Vegas radio station unexpectedly after a trip to the dentist. If you're familiar with David After The Dentist, you know that you're in for a treat. Here are some of my favorite parts.
On The Hangover:
"I was doing that to supply my drug habit. I'm sorry I'm coming at you guys like this… I said, 'Wow, This is going to be really good. We're going to sell this stuff on 42nd street on bootleg and make a lot of money.' This is my best thinking on drugs… It wasn't that way. It was an international success."
On becoming a Vegan:
"I became a Vegan. Vegan is where no animal products. No livestock products. Nothing."
On his slow-transformation to vampirism:
"My personal life is so isolated right now. I don't go anywhere unless I'm invited." (except for when he wanders into radio stations of course. – Ed.)
And on the arduous task of wiping one's butt when weighing 350 lbs:
"It was hard to wipe my butt… I was sweating like some kind of guy from a moon project or something."
Awesome. MTV needs to find a way to get him into the "Jersey Shore" house. (ESPN Radio)
Good news for anyone who likes washed-up pop stars! Britney Spears is going to appear on "Glee", according to the show's creator Ryan Murphy.
Instead of having a drunken Spears ram her car into the glee club's bus or attempt to buy drugs off of one of the students, the show decided to take the high road by having most of Britney's scenes take place in a dream sequence.
After being put under in the dentist's chair, some of the characters from the show will "hallucinate about being like the singer." I can only assume that means they will dream about forgetting to feed their children while drunkenly scouring the house for that last free sample of Valtrex. (Coming Soon)
Who says Hollywood is out of ideas? Obviously they haven't seen this picture of Helen Mirren giving Russell Brand the old "rub & tug" on the set of Arthur. In fact, seeing a geriatric Mirren giving Brand a bathtub HJ is the most original thing I've seen in weeks, and mind you, I watch Bravo daily.
The only question is how is Hollywood going to top this? Chances are we'll see Betty White giving an "Asian massage" to the wolf-boy from Twilight sometime soon. "Team Jacob" indeed! (Cinema Blend)
Fooled ya! This clip from MTV's "Undressed" features a Christina Hendricks circa 1999, but she doesn't get naked. Still, it's Christina Hendricks at age 24. Niiiiiiiiice. (BuzzFeed)

Eyes up, Brody!
Adrien Brody has signed on for cuckoo bird director Tony Kaye's Detached. Brody will star as a substitute teacher who becomes attached to a teenage prostitute while working at a troubled school. He later gets in trouble when he shows a gay film in class in an attempt to teach tolerance. I'm going out on a limb here and guessing it was Victor Salva's Clownhouse.
Christina Hendricks also stars as a teacher and potential love interest who encourages Brody's sub to go full-time. Brody has proven talented in a number of complex roles but this may be his greatest challenge yet. Can you imagine trying not to look at Christina Hendricks's boobs all day, every day? That's a test of endurance even David Blaine wouldn't be able to pass. (The Playlist)
It seems a little convenient that Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman have a movie coming out this weekend and they just so happen to be reporting the weather on Atlanta's Fox 5 News. Unless this whole thing was an ingenius plan… The two actors, in an effort to promote Scott Pilgrim vs. the World screw around for two minutes in front of an animated green screen. The best part comes right in the beginning when Cera is trampled by a poorly rendered school bus. What would make the clip even better is if the local morning news anchors would shut the hell up. Let the comedians be funny, news anchors. The producer will let you know when there's an update on those human remains found at the Carvels.
Check out the zany forecast after the jump…
Everyone's curious what will become of "The Office" after this season, once Steve Carell packs his assorted chochkies and potted plant into a banker's box and is forcefully removed from the Scranton Sabre branch. A replacement has yet to be named but sources say that both of the slobs pictured above have been contacted about joining the cast.
Showrunner Paul Lieberstein confirms that Rhys Darby ("Flight of the Conchords") and Danny McBride (every comedy) are having conversations about coming aboard in the role of a new salesman. It's not a done deal that the actor who takes this role will take over as boss. That job could easily go to a current castmember. Sound off in the 'comments' section to let us know who you think would make the best dipsh*t boss. (EW)
Mickey Rourke is the most accomplished dramatist of the rock'em sock'em team in The Expendables. An 80s icon who after pulling off a series of great performances in Diner, Rumble Fish, The Pope Of Greenwich Village, Angel Heart, and Barfly fell off the map and didnt re-surface until 20 years later with his award winning performance in The Wrestler. Now he's back and kicking major acting chop ass. Just remember don't get between him and his chihuahuas or they'll be hell to pay.
Highly Debatable Best Role: Henry Chinaski in Barfly
Weird Fact: Walked off the set of a movie because the producers wouldn't let him use his pet chihuahua.
This weekend, Scott Pilgrim will be bus fighting "the world," who in this instance are the seven evil ex-boyfriends of Ramona V. Flowers. He'll be going through all this just…
Elvis's hot granddaughter Riley Keough is in talks to join Mad Max: Fury Road. Should she end up in the role, she'll play one of the "Five Wives," a convoy of women that Tom Hardy must protect. Polygamy is sooo hot right now. Joining Keough in the spouse pile are Zoe Kravitz, Teresa Palmer, and Adelaide Clemens. No word yet on who will say I do to playing the fifth wifey.
Hey, it's a good thing Mel Gibson isn't part of this sequel, right? Because he and wives? You know? That whole thing that's happening. You know what I'm talking about. (THR)
Here's the third installment of your guide to the new fall TV shows and this time I dish out wisdom about the sitcoms centered around a family. Please don't confuse these shows with 'family sitcoms' — the shows like "Full House" and the one with Urkel that were 'kid safe' and painfully lacking in humor. These are sitcoms that are made for adults and just happen to be about a family. There aren't many of these debuting this fall, but there is one you definitely want to tune in to.
WATCH IT: "$#*! My Dad Says" (CBS), Thursdays at 8:30 pm (ET)
He missed Comic Con, but it seems any large gathering will do. Even at the risk of being curbed. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was overtaken by nuuuurds yesterday when Pee-wee Herman appeared at the Buffalo Chip campground. Pee-wee shared the bill with Ozzy, Kid Rock, ZZ Top, and Bob Dylan, and also led the world's largest Tequila Dance in honor of National Tequila Day (which I missed so I'll start celebrating immediatshillayly arriba arriba!!!).
"Bob Dylan is here because people like him and Pee-wee is here for the same reason," said Buffalo Chip owner Rod Woodruff. "They are both American icons." Oooooo, I can't wait to see what Cate Blanchett will do with the porn theater scene in Herman's inevitable biopic. (Huffington Post)
Good news, John Carter Of Mars fans (both of you).
Disney has set a release date for the film. Now the two of you can plan ahead and drive together. What, you don't even live in the same state? Well, considering the film won't be coming out until June 8th, 2012, you've got plenty of time to coordinate.
For those of you who aren't in "the know," the film is based on the sci-fi books of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and will be shown in 3D. Considering the likelihood of scantly-clad Martian women, this is one 3D production I think we can all agree on.
See dad, I'm not gay. Why would I want to look at boobs in 3D if I was gay? ANSWER ME! (Hollywood Reporter)
I'll take the one on the right. No, just one is fine.
TLC has taken another step in its insatiable quest to find rock bottom. The network's new reality show, "Sister Wives," will chronicle the lives of a group of fundamentalist Mormons who practice polygamy. It's like a double episode of "Wife Swap," except with just one guy and no swapping.
But in case you think the producers are simply exploiting the lives of a bunch of religious fanatics for ratings, think again. They actually care about these people. As it turns out, they're just like you or me…except for the whole "cult" thing.
"They are very much a modern family. They are open-minded. They are generally adorable," said Bill Hayes, president of North Carolina-based Figure 8 Films and co-executive producer of the show. "Their children were so well behaved and polite and healthy and happy," he added. "Pardon the cliche, but the proof was in the pudding. I thought, 'What a bunch of great young people, and there was nothing strange about them.'"
You know, he has a point. Maybe there's nothing strange about a group of women being used as a human puppy mill, as long as their children are well behaved, and provided they don't shoot me during their apocalyptic final battle with the federal government. After all, a single mom lives next door, and I'm pretty sure her kids are running a meth lab. Perhaps four moms is the way to go. (Warming Glow)

Video by Joseph Andrew Lee
Last Tuesday, more than 20 U.S. Senate and military spouses joined USO volunteers and Dr. Jill Biden at the Vice President's residence to assemble care packs for wounded, ill and injured troops. The care packs contain items that troops say make a real impact on their recovery process, helping them heal with some of the comforts of home.
The packs include essential hygiene items such as shampoo, deodorant and lip balm. Often, when troops are being transferred from the battlefield to medical facilitates, they arrive with few, if any, personal items. The packs will be combined with comfortable clothing and a blanket to complete the USO's recently introduced Warrior Care Pack.

Teachers have talent at Londonderry High
No doubt about it, the staff at Londonderry High School are a talented bunch. Those talents were showcased Thursday evening, when some of the school's most beloved educators took to the stage for the fourth annual Teacher Talent Show.
The evening featured songs, dances and skits by a dozen teachers, as well as raffles, games and entertainment by Rising Harmony, an a cappella singing group consisting of juniors Cailey Blatchford, Erin Conti, Steph Conti and Rachel Hanson.
Proceeds from ticket sales will be used to assist the school's award-winning math team in various upcoming activities. New to this year's event was an art exhibit showcasing paintings, drawings, photographs and crafts done by staff members.

Following the announcement from U.S. Soccer that Columbus Crew Stadium will host the USA vs. Mexico 2014 World Cup Qualifier on September 10, Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman expressed his sentiments on the fixture's positive impact on the city of Columbus.
"This is fantastic news for our soccer fans and for our entire community," Mayor Coleman said. "This will not only be an exciting soccer match, but an outstanding opportunity to showcase the City of Columbus to the entire world."
The best way to make sure Crew fans are geared-up for Saturday's Opening Match is to take advantage of the Crew Gear Store Massive Sale, which will be held on Friday, March 15, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET at Crew Stadium. Frankie Hejduk will be signing autographs inside the Crew Gear Store from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The sale includes up to 40% off on select jerseys, hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, ladies and kids merchandise throughout the store. All of the newest Crew gear selections that just arrived will be available.
Those that buy a 2013 Crew jersey can receive personalization for $15 (regularly $25), and all personalization orders placed before 4:00 p.m. ET will be ready that day. Orders placed after 4:00 p.m. ET on the day of the Massive Sale can be picked-up at the Crew's opening match on Saturday, March 16 or during the store's regular business hours, Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET.
WHAT: A Black & Gold Week special sale that includes up to 40% off on select jerseys, hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, ladies and kids merchandise throughout the store. All of the newest gear selections that just arrived will be available.
WHEN: Friday, March 15 from 11 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET, Frankie Hejduk to sign autographs from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. ET
WHERE: Crew Stadium – One Black & Gold Blvd., Columbus, OH 43211
** Fans may be redirected by guest attendants to alternate entrances adjacent to the south Crew Stadium parking lot due to Opening Match preparations in the south plaza **
With Saturday's MLS Cup Final between the LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo looming, it only feels appropriate to revisit the only time Crew Stadium has hosted an MLS Cup Final.
On October 21, 2001, the San Jose Earthquakes outlasted Sigi Schmid's LA Galaxy 2-1 to win MLS Cup behind eventual Cup MVP Dwayne De Rosario's golden goal six minutes into the first overtime period. Landon Donovan also scored for Frank Yallop's Earthquakes, while Luis Hernández tallied for the Galaxy. The victory marked the first of four MLS Cups wins for De Rosario and Donovan. Donovan will be competing for his fifth title on Saturday.
Others who were involved in this historic that will take part in the Final on Saturday include Houston Dynamo Head Coach and then-San Jose assistant Dominic Kinnear (seen hoisting Frank Yallop onto his shoulders in the photo above) and Houston assistant Wade Barrett, who was an Earthquake defender in 2001 (#24 above).
On Saturday, be sure to tune into the Final between the Galaxy and Dynamo at 4:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Crew games, International friendlies, sell-out concerts, OHSAA FInals -- Crew Stadium has hosted it all, but Friday will mark the first-ever NCAA Division I football game in the "House that Lamar Built" when Bowling Green squares off against Mid-American Conference rival Buffalo.
Hosting college football has long been a goal for the stadium operations staff.
"On the operations side, we've been trying for a few years to get a MAC game and it's very exciting to bring this level of football to Crew Stadium for the first time," Crew Stadium Senior Director of Stadium Business Development Ryan Smith said. "It's definitely going to be an exciting game. I think the matchup is exciting, and it will be very good for our stadium to expand on on the diverse style of events that we host. This is just an extension of the diverse calendar we try to bring to Crew Stadium."
With a 7-4 record, a win on Friday over Buffalo would further Bowling Green's chances of a bowl bid. Kickoff is slated for 2:00 p.m. ET.
Friday night, Crew Stadium played host to the Zac Brown Band before the Black & Gold's match against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. The Crew Stadium groundscrew worked tirelessly around the clock to return the playing surface to its match-ready condition.
"We started last night at 11 o'clock doing work, and we ended just now at 3:45 p.m.," head grounskeeper Weston Appelfeller said Saturday afternoon. "It took 15 hours to get the field turned around. I think we're ready. It looks good, and hopefully it plays well."
Appelfeller has taken pride in having Major League Soccer's top playing surface all season long, and tonight's match shouldn't be any different.
The Crew kicks off against the Union at 7:30 p.m. ET, and plenty of tickets still remain at the Crew Stadium box office.
It's going to be a busy weekend around Crew Stadium. Tonight, Major League Soccer's first soccer-specific stadium will host the Grammy-award winning Zac Brown Band in the stadium's third concert event of 2012. And of course on Saturday night, the tiles shown above will be taken away, and MLS's best kept field will play host to the Crew taking on the Philadelphia Union in a pivotal Eastern Conference matchup.
Tickets still remain for both events.

Admittedly, Houston hasn't been my favorite city I've visited with the Crew this season. It's extremely hot and humid, there's nothing to do around the team hotel, and nearly every restraunt downtown is closed on Sunday.
However, the Dynamo's new BBVA Compass Stadium has made up for the misfortunes mentioned above.
The first thing I noticed when I walked into the stadium: there's a lot of orange in this place.
Outside the press box, images of various Houston Chronicle front pages over the past few years pay homage to Dynamo's short time in Houston.
A Dynamo legend overlooks the entrance to every lower-level section. For example, here's Brian Ching at the entryway to Section 125.
Here's the view from the north end of the stadium, looking toward the stage area. The dimensions of the field at BBVA Compass Stadium are 70 yards x 115 yards to suit the Dynamo's style of play and execution on set pieces. The MLS preference for pitch size is 75 yards x 120 yards.
In the southwest corner of the stadium is where the Dynamo supporters groups sit. No, Crew fans, it's not as big as the Nordecke.
Finally, and most importantly, the Crew's Equipment Manager Rusty Wummel was a happy camper with the spacey visiting locker room.

LISBON – Firefighters responded to help one of their own Wednesday night as fire destroyed a barn and killed more than 30 dairy cows.
Firefighters responded to a call at the organic dairy farm at 752 Pray Road shortly after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday night.
A 300-by-60-foot barn, owned by Lee Morrison, was fully engulfed by the time firefighters arrived. The barn was a total loss, Lisbon Fire Chief John A. McLear said.
When we got here it was fully involved, Mr. McLear said. It could not be saved.
No people were harmed. The fire did not spread to the familys home.
They just got finished milking the cows for the night, walked in the house, looked outside and the whole thing was fully engulfed, Mr. McLear said.
The cause was unknown.
For the Lisbon Fire Department, the loss was personal. Mr. Morrison is a volunteer firefighter and an assistant fire chief, and his father, Francis Morrison, is the oldest member and foreman of the fire department, Mr. McLear said.
It was a rough night for the close-knit department, Mr. McLear said.
Probably 30 to 40 cows altogether were lost, Mr. McLear said.
The livestock were insured but not the barn, Mr. McLear said. Mr. McLear, who was in charge at the scene, called for extra water and manpower from Heuvelton, Morley, Morristown and Waddington.
Thats why we called for District Three, which includes Hammond, Brier Hill, Morristown, Heuvelton, Ogdensburg and Lisbon, Mr. McLear said. They have three departments that can haul 8,000 gallons of water at once.
The fire was put out shortly before 9 p.m.
Thanks to the efforts of multiple departments and firefighters quick response time, a nearby home and one silo was saved.
